WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.099 It's time for us to see something new, do something 00:00:04.099 --> 00:00:07.459 new. It hasn't happened all in one moment yet, 00:00:07.500 --> 00:00:11.179 but there is a groundswell right now. And we 00:00:11.179 --> 00:00:15.000 need to strike while the iron is hot. We need 00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:19.780 to participate in what God is doing in these 00:00:19.780 --> 00:00:31.899 days. God promises in Joel 2 .28 to pour His 00:00:31.899 --> 00:00:35.539 Spirit out on all humanity. Welcome to Global 00:00:35.539 --> 00:00:37.780 Outpouring, where we contend for that promise 00:00:37.780 --> 00:00:41.119 outpouring, we equip for that outpouring, so 00:00:41.119 --> 00:00:45.000 that we may engage in that very outpouring. I'm 00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:47.460 Philip Buss. And I'm Sharon Buss. Welcome to 00:00:47.460 --> 00:00:49.539 the podcast today. We're so glad that you're 00:00:49.539 --> 00:00:53.759 with us. We want to talk about the Charlie Kirk 00:00:53.759 --> 00:00:57.899 effect today. Something really big is happening 00:00:57.899 --> 00:01:01.700 in the whole wide world, and it has to do with 00:01:01.700 --> 00:01:05.000 outpouring. It has to do with striking while 00:01:05.000 --> 00:01:07.359 the iron is hot, and it has to do with arising 00:01:07.359 --> 00:01:16.209 and shining, for your light is come.

So lately, there's been a big happening 00:02:49.240 --> 00:02:52.319 when Charlie Kirk was assassinated, murdered, 00:02:52.479 --> 00:02:55.439 whatever you want to call it, on September 10th. 00:02:55.949 --> 00:02:59.949 There's been a big shift since then. Ooh, spiritual 00:02:59.949 --> 00:03:02.689 shift. Yeah, spiritual shift, a shift of attitudes. 00:03:03.250 --> 00:03:07.770 We've seen all kinds of YouTube shorts and so 00:03:07.770 --> 00:03:10.490 on of people that have decided to go to church. 00:03:10.870 --> 00:03:13.770 Yeah, that's amazing. That's just really, really 00:03:13.770 --> 00:03:16.270 astounding. Well, you know, it's very significant 00:03:16.270 --> 00:03:19.710 to me that the name Charlie means free man as 00:03:19.710 --> 00:03:23.169 opposed to being a slave, and it could also mean 00:03:23.169 --> 00:03:25.979 warrior. He was really a warrior. He was a warrior. 00:03:26.159 --> 00:03:29.699 Absolutely. He was constantly in war, in debates 00:03:29.699 --> 00:03:33.280 all the time. And his last name, Kirk, means 00:03:33.280 --> 00:03:35.539 church. It's what you would hear if you went 00:03:35.539 --> 00:03:39.419 to Scotland or northern England. That's the word 00:03:39.419 --> 00:03:42.240 that's used for church, is Kirk. Kirk, yeah. 00:03:42.479 --> 00:03:46.960 So, you know, he was a free man. choosing freely 00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:50.780 to go to church. And I think there's this thing 00:03:50.780 --> 00:03:52.699 that's going on where people are being drawn 00:03:52.699 --> 00:03:57.199 to church. And I remember back a while, a good 00:03:57.199 --> 00:04:01.680 many years, 9 -11 -2001, that for the first two 00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:06.719 weeks after that tragedy where we had an act 00:04:06.719 --> 00:04:09.419 of terrorism on our own soil in New York City, 00:04:09.520 --> 00:04:12.840 where the World Trade Center's buildings were 00:04:12.840 --> 00:04:16.029 knocked down by these airplanes that went into 00:04:16.029 --> 00:04:20.029 them. For two weeks, the churches of America 00:04:20.029 --> 00:04:24.170 were full. But I don't think that the majority 00:04:24.170 --> 00:04:26.389 of the people who went back to church at that 00:04:26.389 --> 00:04:30.589 time found a place where they could relate to. 00:04:31.470 --> 00:04:33.509 They were hearing messages like, no, no, this 00:04:33.509 --> 00:04:36.750 wasn't judgment. No, no, they're there. It's 00:04:36.750 --> 00:04:40.089 okay. And there wasn't anything that gave people 00:04:40.089 --> 00:04:44.550 a clarity of what was really going on, that this 00:04:44.550 --> 00:04:50.129 is the first, really, on our soil of acts of 00:04:50.129 --> 00:04:55.810 terror where Islam is stepping up to try and 00:04:55.810 --> 00:04:58.889 take over the world. That's really what's going 00:04:58.889 --> 00:05:03.790 on. It's obvious now. Yeah. Just get on YouTube 00:05:03.790 --> 00:05:07.069 and look at all the shorts, what's going on in 00:05:07.069 --> 00:05:10.589 England and all the European countries, Spain, 00:05:10.949 --> 00:05:13.350 all these, and they show pictures. I thought 00:05:13.350 --> 00:05:16.329 that's not the... That's not the France or the 00:05:16.329 --> 00:05:18.730 England I remember when we were there. No, not 00:05:18.730 --> 00:05:22.089 at all. Not at all. And we saw recently a short 00:05:22.089 --> 00:05:26.649 of someone, a lady in her older years, that was 00:05:26.649 --> 00:05:29.610 rebuking these Muslim guys on the street that 00:05:29.610 --> 00:05:32.009 were trying to pass out Korans and trying to 00:05:32.009 --> 00:05:34.990 preach the Koran. And she, you know, she was 00:05:34.990 --> 00:05:37.730 rebuking them saying, this is a Christian nation. 00:05:37.889 --> 00:05:40.310 You don't belong here and those kind of things. 00:05:41.079 --> 00:05:42.699 I don't want anything to do with your Quran. 00:05:42.920 --> 00:05:45.540 And the police came and arrested her. Yeah, I 00:05:45.540 --> 00:05:49.279 saw that. That's astounding. Astounding is, right. 00:05:49.560 --> 00:05:53.199 So, you know, it's... This is England. This is 00:05:53.199 --> 00:05:56.660 where our King James Bible came out of. Exactly, 00:05:56.680 --> 00:05:59.560 exactly. The King of England is the one that... 00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:03.279 said to do this, translate this. Right. And there 00:06:03.279 --> 00:06:05.279 were some previous translations before that, 00:06:05.319 --> 00:06:07.939 but that one became the authorized version. The 00:06:07.939 --> 00:06:10.360 authorized version. And it went for quite a while. 00:06:10.439 --> 00:06:13.199 I mean, it's still the favorite one of many people. 00:06:13.600 --> 00:06:16.860 If you can read... Shakespeare, you can also 00:06:16.860 --> 00:06:20.720 read the King James Bible. There are some words 00:06:20.720 --> 00:06:23.519 that you have to have a little help with. But, 00:06:23.560 --> 00:06:26.579 you know, bottom line is the original languages 00:06:26.579 --> 00:06:30.319 of the Bible, both Hebrew and Aramaic and Greek, 00:06:30.459 --> 00:06:35.379 are languages that are rich in words. Their words 00:06:35.379 --> 00:06:39.279 have multiple meanings and depths of meaning 00:06:39.279 --> 00:06:42.980 that... It takes more words in English. That's 00:06:42.980 --> 00:06:45.660 why I like the Amplified Classic in particular 00:06:45.660 --> 00:06:48.560 and some of these other translations. You almost 00:06:48.560 --> 00:06:51.939 need to read multiple translations to even begin 00:06:51.939 --> 00:06:55.660 to sound the depths of what's in the Scripture. 00:06:55.839 --> 00:06:58.839 There is not one translation that's perfect. 00:06:59.279 --> 00:07:02.279 Not any one of them. As good as the King James 00:07:02.279 --> 00:07:07.569 is, it's not perfect. But it doesn't try. To 00:07:07.569 --> 00:07:11.069 take things out of it that are like the blood 00:07:11.069 --> 00:07:14.370 of Jesus, which is different versions. Some versions 00:07:14.370 --> 00:07:16.050 have taken that out. They've taken scriptures 00:07:16.050 --> 00:07:20.589 out. And part of that has to do with the manuscripts 00:07:20.589 --> 00:07:23.430 that they're using. And some of the manuscripts 00:07:23.430 --> 00:07:27.769 appear to be incomplete. Or, you know, you have 00:07:27.769 --> 00:07:30.629 to remember that manuscripts were written by 00:07:30.629 --> 00:07:34.709 hand. And I don't know about you, but when I 00:07:34.709 --> 00:07:37.980 try to copy something, you know, I might skip 00:07:37.980 --> 00:07:42.779 a line. And I think that's how this happens, 00:07:42.839 --> 00:07:44.620 especially when you've got things that kind of 00:07:44.620 --> 00:07:47.899 repeat, you know, and you've got a similar word 00:07:47.899 --> 00:07:50.920 structure and you can leave out lines. And I 00:07:50.920 --> 00:07:53.439 think that is part of what has happened on some 00:07:53.439 --> 00:07:55.500 of these manuscripts. And then you copy the manuscript 00:07:55.500 --> 00:07:58.259 and that one gets copied and that one gets copied 00:07:58.259 --> 00:08:00.399 and that one gets copied. And so the mistake 00:08:00.399 --> 00:08:03.220 continues. It's like the psychology teacher, 00:08:03.399 --> 00:08:06.319 you know, he would get everybody. in the rows, 00:08:06.439 --> 00:08:09.420 in the front rows, and tell them a story, and 00:08:09.420 --> 00:08:12.100 now tell it to the person behind you. And so 00:08:12.100 --> 00:08:14.399 the last person would get up and tell what they 00:08:14.399 --> 00:08:18.399 heard. And it's totally different from what the 00:08:18.399 --> 00:08:21.300 first person actually heard. Yeah. So that's 00:08:21.300 --> 00:08:24.699 one of the reasons why we have issues with translations 00:08:24.699 --> 00:08:27.959 and that sort of thing. But the bottom line is, 00:08:28.040 --> 00:08:32.519 study the book. Study what's available. And ask 00:08:32.519 --> 00:08:35.730 the Holy Spirit. To make it come alive to you. 00:08:35.889 --> 00:08:38.909 Yeah, that's the key. It's not getting bent out 00:08:38.909 --> 00:08:42.210 of shape because this version said it quite like 00:08:42.210 --> 00:08:45.370 this or that. And there's some versions we won't 00:08:45.370 --> 00:08:48.409 touch. Right. And there are some, particularly 00:08:48.409 --> 00:08:51.870 some of the very modern versions, that are explaining 00:08:51.870 --> 00:08:54.669 the image of what's being said rather than a 00:08:54.669 --> 00:08:56.570 word -for -word translation. There's different 00:08:56.570 --> 00:08:59.950 kinds of translations. So some are translations 00:08:59.950 --> 00:09:03.309 and some are interpretations. So you kind of 00:09:03.309 --> 00:09:05.409 need to study them all. You need to study them 00:09:05.409 --> 00:09:08.049 all and get the picture. That's very good wisdom. 00:09:08.389 --> 00:09:11.509 So as we're looking at these young people in 00:09:11.509 --> 00:09:14.730 particular that are all of a sudden waking up, 00:09:14.850 --> 00:09:19.850 we saw one video where a young man was standing 00:09:19.850 --> 00:09:22.649 in front of the church door. Wearing a suit. 00:09:22.750 --> 00:09:25.990 And he said, I put this suit on and I'm going 00:09:25.990 --> 00:09:28.070 to church for the first time because Charlie 00:09:28.070 --> 00:09:30.570 Kirk can't be there today. So I'm going to sit 00:09:30.570 --> 00:09:33.610 in his place. And, you know, I just love what 00:09:33.610 --> 00:09:36.250 God is doing in people's hearts. But just a few 00:09:36.250 --> 00:09:38.789 days after this, I heard the Holy Spirit say, 00:09:38.929 --> 00:09:44.090 strike while the iron is hot. And I feel like 00:09:44.090 --> 00:09:49.470 it's critical that. We who have been walking 00:09:49.470 --> 00:09:52.509 with the Lord for a while make ourselves available 00:09:52.509 --> 00:09:56.750 to those who are just starting their walk. Charlie 00:09:56.750 --> 00:10:00.470 Kirk had a mentor, probably many mentors. And 00:10:00.470 --> 00:10:04.610 you don't be mentored by someone your own age. 00:10:05.490 --> 00:10:09.710 You need someone who has more experience than 00:10:09.710 --> 00:10:13.049 you do. You need to find some wisdom. We have 00:10:13.049 --> 00:10:16.230 been blessed in that department. Different ones 00:10:16.230 --> 00:10:19.730 that speak into your life. Right. And we still 00:10:19.730 --> 00:10:22.710 have people speaking into our lives. You can't 00:10:22.710 --> 00:10:26.970 do it all by yourself. Yeah. And I love the fact 00:10:26.970 --> 00:10:30.570 that, okay, so just a day ago on the Turning 00:10:30.570 --> 00:10:34.529 Point USA Facebook page, they say in the past 00:10:34.529 --> 00:10:39.960 two weeks. TPUSA has received 121 ,000 -plus 00:10:39.960 --> 00:10:42.679 requests from high school and college students 00:10:42.679 --> 00:10:44.960 nationwide to start a chapter or get involved 00:10:44.960 --> 00:10:47.519 with an existing chapter. That's just astounding. 00:10:47.720 --> 00:10:52.600 It's huge. It's huge. And it's the possibility 00:10:52.600 --> 00:10:56.120 of a wave of revival, but we know that there 00:10:56.120 --> 00:10:58.220 is a revival coming, and we hope that this is 00:10:58.220 --> 00:11:02.610 it, that was prophesied in 1934. Remember that 00:11:02.610 --> 00:11:05.629 one from Manchester, England, that there shall 00:11:05.629 --> 00:11:08.470 come a breath and the breath shall bring the 00:11:08.470 --> 00:11:12.269 wind and the wind shall bring the rain and there 00:11:12.269 --> 00:11:16.929 shall be floods and floods and floods and torrents 00:11:16.929 --> 00:11:19.610 and torrents and torrents. And we're seeing that. 00:11:19.690 --> 00:11:22.389 We're so seeing that. And even in the natural, 00:11:22.549 --> 00:11:25.649 even in the natural, there's so many flash floods 00:11:25.649 --> 00:11:29.519 that we're having these days. Maybe it's just 00:11:29.519 --> 00:11:31.259 because we're getting more news than we used 00:11:31.259 --> 00:11:34.139 to get, but it could be that there's an increase. 00:11:34.539 --> 00:11:38.299 Anyway, the rest of the prophecy is souls shall 00:11:38.299 --> 00:11:42.539 be saved like leaves falling from mighty oaks 00:11:42.539 --> 00:11:46.039 in a hurricane. A hurricane can just strip a 00:11:46.039 --> 00:11:50.350 tree of its leaves. Arms and legs will come down 00:11:50.350 --> 00:11:53.090 from heaven and there shall be no ebb. That is 00:11:53.090 --> 00:11:55.570 the thing that's most important about this prophecy. 00:11:55.769 --> 00:11:58.029 Yes, there's going to be powerful signs and wonders, 00:11:58.129 --> 00:12:00.549 but there's going to be no ebb. In other words, 00:12:00.590 --> 00:12:05.450 this wave comes in and it stays. When you have 00:12:05.450 --> 00:12:09.350 the tides of the oceans, they come in and they 00:12:09.350 --> 00:12:13.059 go out. They come in. and they go out. And that's 00:12:13.059 --> 00:12:15.980 the way it has been with revival through the 00:12:15.980 --> 00:12:18.580 centuries, that it lasts for a little while and 00:12:18.580 --> 00:12:21.200 then everybody settles down. Yeah. And let's 00:12:21.200 --> 00:12:27.759 go back 30 years. 1990, we are in the Persian 00:12:27.759 --> 00:12:31.259 Gulf. Oh, yes. And churches started filling up. 00:12:31.340 --> 00:12:34.820 Right. And I remember a source we heard said 00:12:34.820 --> 00:12:38.539 they sent over like 100 ,000 body bags or something 00:12:38.539 --> 00:12:41.080 like that because they're expecting... We're 00:12:41.080 --> 00:12:42.960 going to have troops on the ground in Kuwait. 00:12:43.879 --> 00:12:46.480 Slaughter. They're expecting slaughter. They're 00:12:46.480 --> 00:12:50.240 expecting slaughter. And churches started filling 00:12:50.240 --> 00:12:52.879 up. And prayers started going up. And prayers 00:12:52.879 --> 00:12:56.320 started going up. And I remember one couple in 00:12:56.320 --> 00:12:59.840 our church, they had four sons in the Gulf. That's 00:12:59.840 --> 00:13:03.019 right. You know, in different branches of military. 00:13:04.139 --> 00:13:08.320 And I thought, wow. The church is because people, 00:13:08.500 --> 00:13:12.580 when disaster looms, there's nothing in the natural 00:13:12.580 --> 00:13:15.179 can help you. You need something beyond that. 00:13:15.279 --> 00:13:18.399 Exactly. But what happened after the miraculous 00:13:18.399 --> 00:13:21.580 thing that happened in that war? We didn't get 00:13:21.580 --> 00:13:24.519 all these people killed. Yeah. And the thing 00:13:24.519 --> 00:13:27.360 got turned around. And after a while, then the 00:13:27.360 --> 00:13:29.879 church is emptied out. Yep. There's a tendency 00:13:29.879 --> 00:13:33.480 to only stay where you're supposed to be when 00:13:33.480 --> 00:13:36.720 you're under pressure. Yeah. So, you know, that 00:13:36.720 --> 00:13:38.639 kind of brings up the thing that the Lord spoke 00:13:38.639 --> 00:13:41.399 to me when we got the name Global Outpouring. 00:13:41.620 --> 00:13:45.740 He said that what's coming is going to be the 00:13:45.740 --> 00:13:49.539 book of Acts on steroids. So for those who don't 00:13:49.539 --> 00:13:53.539 understand the idiom about on steroids. It's 00:13:53.539 --> 00:13:56.159 a popular expression, and it's used in everyday 00:13:56.159 --> 00:13:59.799 conversation, but it refers to something that's 00:13:59.799 --> 00:14:03.840 enhanced or intensified beyond its normal state. 00:14:04.039 --> 00:14:07.139 In other words, it comes from the development 00:14:07.139 --> 00:14:12.960 of steroids that help particularly athletes bulk 00:14:12.960 --> 00:14:15.899 up. They build up their muscles, and so it's 00:14:15.899 --> 00:14:18.460 illegal to use. Yeah, and what do they do? Like 00:14:18.460 --> 00:14:21.940 at the Olympics, they test you. And if they find 00:14:21.940 --> 00:14:24.740 steroids in your blood, you're disqualified. 00:14:25.100 --> 00:14:28.179 Exactly. Exactly. So, you know, what it means 00:14:28.179 --> 00:14:30.519 is something that's amped up, something that's 00:14:30.519 --> 00:14:32.860 bigger, something that's turbocharged, something 00:14:32.860 --> 00:14:36.639 that's more than what you expect it to be. Okay. 00:14:36.679 --> 00:14:40.379 So when you read the book of Acts, there's all 00:14:40.379 --> 00:14:43.440 kinds of things that go on in the book of Acts 00:14:43.440 --> 00:14:47.320 where the disciples are filled with the Holy 00:14:47.320 --> 00:14:51.580 Spirit, where in the Old Testament, the Holy 00:14:51.580 --> 00:14:56.320 Spirit would come on people. Yeah, like Samson. 00:14:56.519 --> 00:14:59.500 Yeah, Samson. In Samson's case, the expression 00:14:59.500 --> 00:15:02.600 in Hebrew means that he was clothed with the 00:15:02.600 --> 00:15:05.399 Holy Spirit. Like the Holy Spirit came on him 00:15:05.399 --> 00:15:09.679 like a garment. So we still can have that where 00:15:09.679 --> 00:15:11.899 the Holy Spirit comes on you like a garment because 00:15:11.899 --> 00:15:16.120 we're in him. But in the Old Testament, you didn't 00:15:16.120 --> 00:15:21.000 have this idea of God. dwelling in you. Yeah. 00:15:21.320 --> 00:15:24.700 And there's cases, even the Holy Spirit coming 00:15:24.700 --> 00:15:28.000 on unbelievers. Yeah. And they're prophesying. 00:15:28.000 --> 00:15:31.259 They're prophesying and they're not believers, 00:15:31.320 --> 00:15:35.039 but it's just like the Holy Spirit is using that 00:15:35.039 --> 00:15:38.320 vessel. Right. Which is like Balaam. Right. Yeah. 00:15:38.340 --> 00:15:42.600 Look at Balaam. He tried to curse Israel. He 00:15:42.600 --> 00:15:44.919 could curse it. He could only bless. I have to 00:15:44.919 --> 00:15:48.580 do what the Lord says, you know, compelled. And 00:15:48.580 --> 00:15:52.799 you have to understand in that context that Balaam 00:15:52.799 --> 00:15:57.240 was a false prophet. He was a prophet from his 00:15:57.240 --> 00:16:00.240 own nation prophesying under the power of the 00:16:00.240 --> 00:16:03.320 gods of his nation. Yeah. But they have an understanding 00:16:03.320 --> 00:16:07.259 in ancient times that every region has its own 00:16:07.259 --> 00:16:11.090 gods. And everybody knew that the God of Israel 00:16:11.090 --> 00:16:16.009 was Jehovah or Yehovah. And so in order to deal 00:16:16.009 --> 00:16:18.889 with the people that are under that God, you 00:16:18.889 --> 00:16:21.750 have to deal with that God. So he had to get 00:16:21.750 --> 00:16:25.470 the word from that God. He had to get the word 00:16:25.470 --> 00:16:28.210 from the God of Israel in order to prophesy about 00:16:28.210 --> 00:16:32.250 Israel. Yeah, that's amazing because this is 00:16:32.250 --> 00:16:35.909 a case of the Holy Spirit moves on them, but 00:16:35.909 --> 00:16:38.549 they're not like walking. with the Spirit of 00:16:38.549 --> 00:16:42.649 God in them. Right, right. But now Jesus comes. 00:16:42.889 --> 00:16:45.289 Right. And the Holy Spirit is here. Exactly, 00:16:45.470 --> 00:16:49.230 exactly. So when Jesus was baptized, John the 00:16:49.230 --> 00:16:52.009 Baptist said, this one's going to baptize you 00:16:52.009 --> 00:16:54.789 with the Holy Spirit and with fire. Yeah. And 00:16:54.789 --> 00:16:57.269 that's exactly what happened on the day of Pentecost. 00:16:57.629 --> 00:17:00.710 And we've explained this before, but I'll say 00:17:00.710 --> 00:17:05.390 it again, that in Jesus' time, When he rose from 00:17:05.390 --> 00:17:08.150 the dead, he rose from the dead on the Feast 00:17:08.150 --> 00:17:11.369 of Firstfruits. It was when the priest would 00:17:11.369 --> 00:17:15.450 go out into the barley field and find the one 00:17:15.450 --> 00:17:19.430 stalk that's ripe here and look around and maybe 00:17:19.430 --> 00:17:21.230 two, three feet away, there's another stalk. 00:17:21.450 --> 00:17:23.650 And, you know, going through the field in order 00:17:23.650 --> 00:17:28.380 to get a sheaf of ripe ones. that were ready 00:17:28.380 --> 00:17:32.619 before everybody else. And so it's a first fruits. 00:17:32.880 --> 00:17:35.799 And then the Feast of Pentecost is also a first 00:17:35.799 --> 00:17:39.079 fruits feast, a first fruits celebration, where 00:17:39.079 --> 00:17:41.339 they would be bringing in the sheaf from the 00:17:41.339 --> 00:17:45.099 wheat fields. They've completed the barley harvest, 00:17:45.160 --> 00:17:48.619 and the wheat is in process, but the first fruits 00:17:48.619 --> 00:17:53.019 of the wheat would be ready. And so what happened 00:17:53.019 --> 00:17:56.490 on the day of Pentecost in Acts chapter 2, as 00:17:56.490 --> 00:18:00.809 the believers, the Israelites, that were out 00:18:00.809 --> 00:18:03.450 in what they call the diaspora. They're dispersed 00:18:03.450 --> 00:18:07.130 out into the nations. So you've got people from 00:18:07.130 --> 00:18:10.509 what is now Iran, from Persia. Elam is what they 00:18:10.509 --> 00:18:13.170 called it. And you've got people from Cappadocia 00:18:13.170 --> 00:18:16.109 and Pontus and Phrygia and Pamphylia, all those 00:18:16.109 --> 00:18:19.009 names that are named there. And they've grown 00:18:19.009 --> 00:18:21.750 up in those places and they speak a different 00:18:21.750 --> 00:18:24.549 language natively than Hebrew. They probably 00:18:24.549 --> 00:18:27.069 speak some Hebrew because they're Jewish. But 00:18:27.069 --> 00:18:29.609 they come for the feast and they probably didn't 00:18:29.609 --> 00:18:32.150 come every year from all those nations. But when 00:18:32.150 --> 00:18:35.109 they came... Here they are. They probably came 00:18:35.109 --> 00:18:38.509 for Passover and stayed for Pentecost because 00:18:38.509 --> 00:18:40.869 they're only 50 days apart. If you're going to 00:18:40.869 --> 00:18:42.789 travel that far, you might as well stay. Camp 00:18:42.789 --> 00:18:45.529 out in Jerusalem for a month. Right, right. So 00:18:45.529 --> 00:18:49.089 almost two months, really. So when the power 00:18:49.089 --> 00:18:52.470 of God came on... These people, they were gathered 00:18:52.470 --> 00:18:56.410 for the purpose of remembering how God gave the 00:18:56.410 --> 00:18:59.670 word on Mount Sinai. And when he wrote the word 00:18:59.670 --> 00:19:03.309 in the tablets of stone, he used his fiery finger. 00:19:03.869 --> 00:19:07.750 I think the Ten Commandments movie does a great 00:19:07.750 --> 00:19:10.970 job of that. There's probably a YouTube video 00:19:10.970 --> 00:19:14.490 that just has that clip. And you see this like 00:19:14.490 --> 00:19:18.710 a fire nato, a fire tornado of the presence of 00:19:18.710 --> 00:19:21.930 God. And he speaks the words of the Ten Commandments. 00:19:21.930 --> 00:19:25.509 And a fire comes slinging off of the tornado. 00:19:25.710 --> 00:19:29.890 And it burns into the stone. I love that picture. 00:19:29.930 --> 00:19:33.910 It's so well done. So that's what they were remembering 00:19:33.910 --> 00:19:36.769 on the day of Pentecost was that event of the 00:19:36.769 --> 00:19:40.900 giving of the law. And so here they are remembering 00:19:40.900 --> 00:19:46.539 here is a celebration of fire. And they're probably 00:19:46.539 --> 00:19:50.140 not in the upper room at this point because even 00:19:50.140 --> 00:19:53.920 today in Jerusalem, they pray together all night 00:19:53.920 --> 00:19:56.819 and they read scripture all night. And then early, 00:19:56.900 --> 00:19:58.859 early in the morning before the sun rises, they 00:19:58.859 --> 00:20:02.319 go to the Western Wall, the Kotel. Some people 00:20:02.319 --> 00:20:06.849 call it the Wailing Wall. In Jesus' day, they 00:20:06.849 --> 00:20:10.450 would have gone to the temple. So they were probably 00:20:10.450 --> 00:20:13.170 on the temple steps or just inside the temple 00:20:13.170 --> 00:20:17.450 area when this happened, when the fire came down 00:20:17.450 --> 00:20:19.950 on them. And it wasn't just a little teeny tiny 00:20:19.950 --> 00:20:22.349 flame of two or three inches like you see in 00:20:22.349 --> 00:20:25.130 most of the artwork. It was probably something 00:20:25.130 --> 00:20:27.769 that was more like a foot or two or three tall 00:20:27.769 --> 00:20:31.230 that came down on their heads. And when Jesus 00:20:31.230 --> 00:20:36.529 gave the Holy Communion, on his last night with 00:20:36.529 --> 00:20:39.609 the disciples. He said, this cup is the new covenant 00:20:39.609 --> 00:20:43.049 in my blood. And the new covenant in Jeremiah 00:20:43.049 --> 00:20:48.369 chapter 31, verses 31 to 34 promises that I will 00:20:48.369 --> 00:20:51.329 write my word in their hearts and in their minds. 00:20:51.470 --> 00:20:55.190 So when this fiery flame comes down on them, 00:20:55.269 --> 00:20:57.009 all of a sudden they're filled with the Holy 00:20:57.009 --> 00:21:00.069 Spirit. And Jesus promised in the upper room 00:21:00.069 --> 00:21:04.220 discourse in the chapters 14 through 17, I think 00:21:04.220 --> 00:21:08.259 it is, of John, he begins talking about the Holy 00:21:08.259 --> 00:21:10.500 Spirit, and this is the spirit of truth, and 00:21:10.500 --> 00:21:12.319 he's going to bring to you remembrance, all the 00:21:12.319 --> 00:21:14.319 things that I've taught you. So all of these 00:21:14.319 --> 00:21:18.019 words that Jesus taught them for that time that 00:21:18.019 --> 00:21:20.700 they were together, it's being written in their 00:21:20.700 --> 00:21:24.789 hearts and in their minds. Paul talks about it's 00:21:24.789 --> 00:21:26.789 being written in the fleshy tables of the heart 00:21:26.789 --> 00:21:30.329 instead of in stone, right? So all of this stuff 00:21:30.329 --> 00:21:35.109 is happening. So what happened there where Peter 00:21:35.109 --> 00:21:37.670 says, this is that that was spoken of by the 00:21:37.670 --> 00:21:40.170 prophet Joel. He's saying this because all of 00:21:40.170 --> 00:21:43.230 these people are hearing the mighty works of 00:21:43.230 --> 00:21:47.910 God being spoken in their language. Now, it could 00:21:47.910 --> 00:21:49.910 be that they were speaking all these different 00:21:49.910 --> 00:21:52.890 languages. Or it could be that they were hearing 00:21:52.890 --> 00:21:56.690 in their own language when these disciples are 00:21:56.690 --> 00:22:00.609 speaking in tongues. So the point is that that 00:22:00.609 --> 00:22:04.069 was a first fruits. You've got individuals from 00:22:04.069 --> 00:22:07.549 all these different nations, like the one stalk 00:22:07.549 --> 00:22:10.650 of barley that's ready. And here's another stalk 00:22:10.650 --> 00:22:13.750 of barley that's ready. And here's these handfuls 00:22:13.750 --> 00:22:17.309 of peoples from Egypt and from Cyrene and all 00:22:17.309 --> 00:22:20.440 of these different areas. where Jews are living, 00:22:20.619 --> 00:22:23.900 and they're getting the Holy Spirit too. They're 00:22:23.900 --> 00:22:26.440 hearing of it. And then there were 3 ,000 that 00:22:26.440 --> 00:22:28.480 were converted that day, so they probably came 00:22:28.480 --> 00:22:30.059 from all these different nations, right? Yeah. 00:22:30.259 --> 00:22:32.440 And they're hearing these mighty works of God 00:22:32.440 --> 00:22:35.720 being done. So that was a first fruits of what 00:22:35.720 --> 00:22:40.700 God is doing now, where multiple nations, God 00:22:40.700 --> 00:22:42.420 said, I'm going to pour out my Spirit on all 00:22:42.420 --> 00:22:46.480 flesh. Well, in that day, nearly 2 ,000 years 00:22:46.480 --> 00:22:49.869 ago, it was... people from different nations, 00:22:50.089 --> 00:22:54.269 but there was a one or a two or a five, just 00:22:54.269 --> 00:22:56.390 a handful of people from all those nations. It 00:22:56.390 --> 00:22:59.210 was first fruits. Now's the big harvest. All 00:22:59.210 --> 00:23:03.569 flesh, all flesh, everybody. So what we're believing 00:23:03.569 --> 00:23:07.009 God for is that this event, this Charlie Kirk 00:23:07.009 --> 00:23:10.490 event, There's an effect that's happening already. 00:23:10.890 --> 00:23:13.289 And I'm trusting God that it's not going to be 00:23:13.289 --> 00:23:15.829 over in a couple of weeks. I think this is going 00:23:15.829 --> 00:23:18.509 to be something that's going to go deep into 00:23:18.509 --> 00:23:20.710 people's hearts and into people's minds. And 00:23:20.710 --> 00:23:23.589 even though you won't see it on your left -wing 00:23:23.589 --> 00:23:26.190 newscasts. Oh, well. Because they're just tearing 00:23:26.190 --> 00:23:28.930 everything apart. Oh, sure. Which is normal. 00:23:29.009 --> 00:23:32.089 Which is normal. Yeah. And it's a picture of, 00:23:32.150 --> 00:23:34.490 you know, we've spoken on this before, but it 00:23:34.490 --> 00:23:38.660 was a couple of years ago. We were having an 00:23:38.660 --> 00:23:42.019 ice storm, and we snuck out of Arkansas, and 00:23:42.019 --> 00:23:45.079 we had to go to a funeral down in Florida. And 00:23:45.079 --> 00:23:47.900 while we're down there, we hear where the Spirit 00:23:47.900 --> 00:23:50.819 of God is being poured out in Asbury at this 00:23:50.819 --> 00:23:54.559 college. And I had been there before with our 00:23:54.559 --> 00:23:57.000 founder, chief minister, but it was in a different 00:23:57.000 --> 00:23:59.339 building. There was a different auditorium, but 00:23:59.339 --> 00:24:02.420 it was in Asbury. It was part of that complex. 00:24:03.140 --> 00:24:06.059 And so we're hearing things going on. We're seeing 00:24:06.059 --> 00:24:08.779 things on YouTube. And we're on our way home 00:24:08.779 --> 00:24:12.740 and we're like five hours from home. And we wake 00:24:12.740 --> 00:24:14.680 up in the morning. I said, Sharon, I think we 00:24:14.680 --> 00:24:17.160 need to go to Asbury. Yeah. You know, it's just 00:24:17.160 --> 00:24:19.599 like, and I'm thinking, you know, my flesh is 00:24:19.599 --> 00:24:23.900 saying long lines that, you know, but we've done 00:24:23.900 --> 00:24:25.900 this before with, you know, different moves of 00:24:25.900 --> 00:24:29.119 God. But we just felt we needed to go there, 00:24:29.180 --> 00:24:32.579 you know. So we went and we got there and there 00:24:32.579 --> 00:24:35.470 had been a. tornadic storm kind of gone through 00:24:35.470 --> 00:24:38.950 and and rain and so i think it chased a lot of 00:24:38.950 --> 00:24:41.609 people off maybe but it was about nine o 'clock 00:24:41.609 --> 00:24:44.710 at night we got in and we found a subway we just 00:24:44.710 --> 00:24:47.430 wolfed down a sandwich and subway restaurant 00:24:47.430 --> 00:24:52.950 subway restaurant sorry not a train so we get 00:24:52.950 --> 00:24:55.609 in line and it's just drizzling a little bit 00:24:55.609 --> 00:24:58.210 not bad and they were just singing the chorus 00:24:58.210 --> 00:25:04.809 to honest day the holy are you lord god Almighty. 00:25:04.809 --> 00:25:07.609 And they were just singing that. And within a 00:25:07.609 --> 00:25:10.210 half an hour, we were in. And that went on for 00:25:10.210 --> 00:25:12.950 at least another hour. And it was the most amazing 00:25:12.950 --> 00:25:16.009 thing. And what I was watching, watching these 00:25:16.009 --> 00:25:20.309 kids growing up, you know, this Gen Z, you know, 00:25:20.309 --> 00:25:23.910 they didn't grow up the way we grew up, you know. 00:25:24.349 --> 00:25:27.470 Back when we were teenagers in the 70s, like 00:25:27.470 --> 00:25:30.710 30 % of kids had knowledge of God, went to church, 00:25:30.789 --> 00:25:34.450 and big numbers. Youth groups were big. It was 00:25:34.450 --> 00:25:37.990 amazing. And now it's like 4%, and that was like 00:25:37.990 --> 00:25:40.230 15 years ago. Yeah, we don't know what it is 00:25:40.230 --> 00:25:42.470 now. Don't know what it is now. So here are these 00:25:42.470 --> 00:25:46.470 people, these youth, who very rarely go to church, 00:25:46.549 --> 00:25:50.630 but the presence of God met them. They're feeling. 00:25:51.390 --> 00:25:53.950 The love of God, something maybe they can't describe, 00:25:54.049 --> 00:25:57.529 but it's taken away their suicide and their depression 00:25:57.529 --> 00:25:59.829 and all these other things. It's about his presence. 00:26:00.130 --> 00:26:01.809 And it's happening everywhere. I think it was 00:26:01.809 --> 00:26:05.109 New Year's time. It was Ohio State was having 00:26:05.109 --> 00:26:10.630 a baptism. This is Ohio in January. This is cold. 00:26:10.950 --> 00:26:14.950 And all these youth are getting baptized. What 00:26:14.950 --> 00:26:16.750 is going to make you do that? There's nothing. 00:26:17.470 --> 00:26:19.670 The president said, go get yourself baptized 00:26:19.670 --> 00:26:22.430 in the city fountain. How many people are going 00:26:22.430 --> 00:26:25.470 to do that? But when the move of God comes on, 00:26:25.609 --> 00:26:28.750 because it does the heart. Right. It hits the 00:26:28.750 --> 00:26:32.049 heart and it convicts. Right. The conviction 00:26:32.049 --> 00:26:34.990 is powerful. And now we're seeing it happening 00:26:34.990 --> 00:26:38.109 all over the place. And then, you know, all these 00:26:38.109 --> 00:26:41.440 different places. The move of God is, it's just 00:26:41.440 --> 00:26:44.319 like, it's everywhere. You know, you can find 00:26:44.319 --> 00:26:46.619 it all over YouTube on the shorts and different 00:26:46.619 --> 00:26:48.839 things like that, but you're not going to find 00:26:48.839 --> 00:26:51.339 it on the mainline news. Hardly. You'll find 00:26:51.339 --> 00:26:54.440 it on CBN. Look at CBN, that's Christian Broadcast 00:26:54.440 --> 00:26:56.839 Network. Yeah. And they will show things which, 00:26:56.960 --> 00:27:00.180 you know, this is what God is doing. So this 00:27:00.180 --> 00:27:02.440 is what is happening. It reminds me of that prophetic 00:27:02.440 --> 00:27:07.259 word that was in the stadium. Oh, yes. John Hinkle. 00:27:07.339 --> 00:27:11.160 John Hinkle. And he's in a vision in the stadium, 00:27:11.200 --> 00:27:14.279 and he hears the announcer say, like, 80 ,000 00:27:14.279 --> 00:27:17.779 people. And it's just like, wow, it's a big game 00:27:17.779 --> 00:27:21.500 of some kind, big football probably. And then 00:27:21.500 --> 00:27:24.759 he watched the Holy Spirit came down, and it 00:27:24.759 --> 00:27:27.200 stood beside each person. That's what it did 00:27:27.200 --> 00:27:29.900 kind of in the Old Testament. You know, the Holy 00:27:29.900 --> 00:27:33.109 Spirit came down, came on them. But it's coming 00:27:33.109 --> 00:27:35.890 on all these people, but it's not filling them. 00:27:35.970 --> 00:27:38.569 Right. But it's convicting them. Right. And instantly 00:27:38.569 --> 00:27:40.970 they're on their face like they're on their way 00:27:40.970 --> 00:27:43.029 to hell. Yeah. And they know it. Yeah. And they're 00:27:43.029 --> 00:27:45.450 crying out for mercy. Yeah. And the believers 00:27:45.450 --> 00:27:48.309 are rejoicing. Right. And the lukewarm are crying 00:27:48.309 --> 00:27:50.549 out too because they've been lukewarm. Right. 00:27:50.609 --> 00:27:52.789 And then he saw it happen on Wall Street. Then 00:27:52.789 --> 00:27:55.269 he saw it happen all over the earth. So that 00:27:55.269 --> 00:27:58.329 gave me a picture before Asbury happened. This 00:27:58.329 --> 00:28:01.500 is how this can happen. God meeting people. right 00:28:01.500 --> 00:28:04.579 where they're at without being in a church. Because 00:28:04.579 --> 00:28:07.279 the Holy Spirit fell down on the Temple Mount, 00:28:07.440 --> 00:28:10.779 which was just thousands of people everywhere. 00:28:11.119 --> 00:28:14.559 And so here you are, but if you're in just a 00:28:14.559 --> 00:28:17.440 church or something, the Holy Spirit falls. People 00:28:17.440 --> 00:28:20.119 in the parking lot are getting convicted. And 00:28:20.119 --> 00:28:24.859 even Charles Finney, way back in the 1800s, I 00:28:24.859 --> 00:28:29.829 think it was, that before he got to a city, Even 00:28:29.829 --> 00:28:31.890 when he was miles away, people started getting 00:28:31.890 --> 00:28:35.759 convicted of sin. And that's because there was 00:28:35.759 --> 00:28:37.599 an intercessor. Because there was intercessors. 00:28:37.599 --> 00:28:40.579 This intercessor went before him everywhere he 00:28:40.579 --> 00:28:44.059 went, and he would pray and he would fast until 00:28:44.059 --> 00:28:46.859 he knew that everything was ripe and ready. And 00:28:46.859 --> 00:28:49.039 that's what we're seeing happen, because there's 00:28:49.039 --> 00:28:51.859 so many intercessors now are praying for a move 00:28:51.859 --> 00:28:54.940 of God. Because, you know, when President Trump 00:28:54.940 --> 00:28:57.579 took that bullet in the ear, it was like that 00:28:57.579 --> 00:29:00.359 was an eye -opener how you really have to pray. 00:29:01.119 --> 00:29:03.859 for those that are in leadership over you. Whether 00:29:03.859 --> 00:29:06.759 you agree with President Trump or not, he's God's 00:29:06.759 --> 00:29:09.400 man for the hour, and he's doing things nobody 00:29:09.400 --> 00:29:13.519 else dared to do. But we see how easy, and look 00:29:13.519 --> 00:29:15.940 what happened to Charlie. He was taken out by 00:29:15.940 --> 00:29:20.160 a bullet. So it's just like that. But it's just 00:29:20.160 --> 00:29:22.960 like he's like a seed, the Scripture, where if 00:29:22.960 --> 00:29:25.099 you accept a seed, it falls into the ground and 00:29:25.099 --> 00:29:28.839 dies. It abides alone. But if it dies. But if 00:29:28.839 --> 00:29:31.339 it dies. And this seed, because he was a real 00:29:31.339 --> 00:29:34.240 seed of a move of God on campuses. Yeah. But 00:29:34.240 --> 00:29:36.000 if it dies, it brings forth much fruit. It brings 00:29:36.000 --> 00:29:38.160 forth much fruit. And that's what we are seeing 00:29:38.160 --> 00:29:41.359 right now. Yes. Yeah. It's just amazing because 00:29:41.359 --> 00:29:43.640 we never thought what we're seeing now would 00:29:43.640 --> 00:29:46.480 come out of this. Right. They had no idea that 00:29:46.480 --> 00:29:49.519 this is like an awakening, but this is where 00:29:49.519 --> 00:29:51.579 the intercessors, those of you who are listening, 00:29:51.779 --> 00:29:55.599 anybody praying into this, that this just expands. 00:29:55.920 --> 00:29:58.420 Right, right. And the move of God just comes 00:29:58.420 --> 00:30:01.619 down. And we were watching on some things. It 00:30:01.619 --> 00:30:04.160 was in Massachusetts. Yes. This couple's going 00:30:04.160 --> 00:30:06.660 to church, and they said, this is Massachusetts. 00:30:07.660 --> 00:30:10.599 Look at all, there's lines of people going into 00:30:10.599 --> 00:30:13.220 the churches. They're going, they said they've 00:30:13.220 --> 00:30:16.900 never seen this before. Yeah. So it's doing something 00:30:16.900 --> 00:30:19.400 in the heart. Right. But we have to pray that 00:30:19.400 --> 00:30:22.980 everyone, they stay on fire. Yes. Stay on fire. 00:30:23.019 --> 00:30:26.599 This is the key for right now. And it's not something 00:30:26.599 --> 00:30:29.299 we can let go. This is a window of opportunity 00:30:29.299 --> 00:30:32.319 for the world. Absolutely. Not just the nation, 00:30:32.400 --> 00:30:35.539 for each individual. Yes. This is God's chance. 00:30:36.319 --> 00:30:39.339 To redeem things. Yes. And I think what we also 00:30:39.339 --> 00:30:43.500 need to consider is the idea, as the Lord spoke 00:30:43.500 --> 00:30:45.880 to me, strike while the iron is hot. Well, what 00:30:45.880 --> 00:30:48.299 does that mean? Where does that come from? It 00:30:48.299 --> 00:30:52.380 comes from the blacksmith that is beating out 00:30:52.380 --> 00:30:55.720 steel, right? Once you put something into the 00:30:55.720 --> 00:30:59.980 fire and it gets hot and it gets red hot, you 00:30:59.980 --> 00:31:02.799 can beat on it. You can hammer on it. Even the 00:31:02.799 --> 00:31:06.440 word blacksmith, it refers to black. You know 00:31:06.440 --> 00:31:09.299 what, that wrought iron looks black, right? Your 00:31:09.299 --> 00:31:12.720 wrought iron pan, it's black. So it's made of 00:31:12.720 --> 00:31:16.299 iron, but you have to heat it and beat it. And 00:31:16.299 --> 00:31:19.140 the word smith comes from the word smite, which 00:31:19.140 --> 00:31:23.210 means to hammer or to hit. So it's somebody who's 00:31:23.210 --> 00:31:27.150 hammering out the black iron. And when you hit 00:31:27.150 --> 00:31:31.210 iron that is red hot, you have to strike it while 00:31:31.210 --> 00:31:33.089 it's hot. Because if you strike it when it's 00:31:33.089 --> 00:31:36.029 cold, you could warp it or you could crack it. 00:31:36.150 --> 00:31:39.210 You have to strike it when it's hot because that's 00:31:39.210 --> 00:31:42.430 when it's malleable. That's when it's changeable. 00:31:42.470 --> 00:31:44.490 You can change the shape of it with your hammer 00:31:44.490 --> 00:31:47.789 when it's hot. And you have to keep putting it 00:31:47.789 --> 00:31:50.079 back in the fire to reheat it until you... get 00:31:50.079 --> 00:31:55.339 it done. And people have to understand that going 00:31:55.339 --> 00:31:58.180 through things and going through fires in our 00:31:58.180 --> 00:32:01.599 life is what gets us into a position where God 00:32:01.599 --> 00:32:05.589 can... mold us and make us into what he designed 00:32:05.589 --> 00:32:08.410 us to be in the first place. He's got a design 00:32:08.410 --> 00:32:11.230 for every single person on the planet. And so 00:32:11.230 --> 00:32:16.029 he uses the fires in our lives to get us into 00:32:16.029 --> 00:32:20.049 places where we need to be to get shaped and 00:32:20.049 --> 00:32:23.589 get formed. And it's not a fun time. It's a process 00:32:23.589 --> 00:32:26.529 that we don't like, but it's something we need 00:32:26.529 --> 00:32:29.730 to go through and we need to just receive God's 00:32:29.730 --> 00:32:32.890 grace to go through it. Because that's what's 00:32:32.890 --> 00:32:36.630 going to make us what we'll have joy in doing, 00:32:36.730 --> 00:32:40.890 ultimately. He gets off the rough edges that 00:32:40.890 --> 00:32:45.349 way, and he makes a sharp edge sometimes. Sometimes 00:32:45.349 --> 00:32:48.630 he's making a sword out of you, or maybe he's 00:32:48.630 --> 00:32:51.430 making a horseshoe out of you. That's going to 00:32:51.430 --> 00:32:54.990 help win the battle. There's a saying about the 00:32:54.990 --> 00:32:59.089 war was lost for lack of a horseshoe. The horse 00:32:59.089 --> 00:33:02.509 couldn't go into battle, and so that soldier 00:33:02.509 --> 00:33:04.829 couldn't go into battle because the horse didn't 00:33:04.829 --> 00:33:07.069 have, and that soldier was needed in order to 00:33:07.069 --> 00:33:11.369 win the battle. So it's important for us to recognize, 00:33:11.529 --> 00:33:14.089 and I think, I'm just going to put in a plug 00:33:14.089 --> 00:33:17.470 for my book, Rich Wounds. Can I say it's a treatise? 00:33:17.509 --> 00:33:23.529 It's a study on what the hardships and the difficulties 00:33:23.529 --> 00:33:26.869 and the sufferings that we go through help us 00:33:26.869 --> 00:33:30.970 to, be formed into God's purposes and that there's 00:33:30.970 --> 00:33:34.670 ultimate beautiful purpose that God has. And 00:33:34.670 --> 00:33:36.730 we just go through these things with trust in 00:33:36.730 --> 00:33:39.950 him. You don't get thrown off when things don't 00:33:39.950 --> 00:33:42.710 go the way you think that they should go. Because 00:33:42.710 --> 00:33:44.730 you're going to have opposition. Let me just 00:33:44.730 --> 00:33:47.150 share this word that Billy Brim got the same 00:33:47.150 --> 00:33:50.349 day that Charlie Kirk was killed. The same morning, 00:33:50.450 --> 00:33:53.349 like probably four or five hours before Charlie 00:33:53.349 --> 00:33:56.480 was assassinated. Now, Billy Brim is one of these 00:33:56.480 --> 00:33:59.180 people that has this experience where she prays 00:33:59.180 --> 00:34:02.660 in tongues and there's a man that is from Jordan 00:34:02.660 --> 00:34:06.279 and his native tongue is Arabic. And he hears, 00:34:06.380 --> 00:34:08.719 she's praying in tongues, sounds like tongues 00:34:08.719 --> 00:34:11.800 to me. It doesn't sound like Arabic to me because 00:34:11.800 --> 00:34:14.139 I can recognize Arabic. I recognize the sound 00:34:14.139 --> 00:34:16.420 of it. I don't know the language, but I know 00:34:16.420 --> 00:34:19.400 pretty much what it sounds like, you know, because 00:34:19.400 --> 00:34:23.000 I've been around it enough. And he hears in Arabic. 00:34:23.670 --> 00:34:26.349 what the Lord is saying. So I think that could 00:34:26.349 --> 00:34:28.230 have been happening on the day of Pentecost too. 00:34:28.289 --> 00:34:30.050 They might've just been praying in tongues or 00:34:30.050 --> 00:34:32.630 speaking in tongues and people heard in their 00:34:32.630 --> 00:34:36.070 own language. So he hears in Arabic and writes 00:34:36.070 --> 00:34:38.210 it down in Arabic and then he translates it. 00:34:38.429 --> 00:34:41.690 And it's most amazing how there are statements 00:34:41.690 --> 00:34:45.449 and... words, and then sometimes there's a scripture 00:34:45.449 --> 00:34:47.989 reference that he just writes down the reference. 00:34:48.130 --> 00:34:49.610 I mean, that's all that God gives. And when you 00:34:49.610 --> 00:34:52.610 read the scripture at that reference, it fits 00:34:52.610 --> 00:34:54.769 with what the Lord had just said. It's really 00:34:54.769 --> 00:34:59.909 remarkable. So on that day, September 10th, at 00:34:59.909 --> 00:35:03.230 8 .08 a .m., Billy Brim was praying in tongues, 00:35:03.329 --> 00:35:06.329 and here's what the interpretation was. The final 00:35:06.329 --> 00:35:10.460 showdown between me and Satan is imminent. He 00:35:10.460 --> 00:35:14.579 will increase his persecution of believers. That's 00:35:14.579 --> 00:35:19.159 you, my children. You must stand. I am with you. 00:35:19.579 --> 00:35:22.820 And so we've got to recognize that when the opposition 00:35:22.820 --> 00:35:26.940 rises against us, that we have to stand. And 00:35:26.940 --> 00:35:31.039 that's where this idea of arise and shine for 00:35:31.039 --> 00:35:34.139 your light has come from Isaiah 60. Do you want 00:35:34.139 --> 00:35:37.780 to read that in the Passion? Yeah. Rise up in 00:35:37.780 --> 00:35:41.210 splendor and be radiant. for your light has dawned, 00:35:41.210 --> 00:35:45.610 and Yahweh's glory now streams from you. When 00:35:45.610 --> 00:35:49.190 you read it in the Passion, it says Yahweh, but 00:35:49.190 --> 00:35:52.690 there's no W in Hebrew, so it's pronounced with 00:35:52.690 --> 00:35:55.730 a V. So it's Yahweh's glory now streams from 00:35:55.730 --> 00:35:59.610 you. Look carefully. Darkness blankets the earth, 00:35:59.769 --> 00:36:03.929 and thick clouds cover the nations. But Yahweh 00:36:03.929 --> 00:36:07.369 arises upon you, and the brightness of his glory 00:36:07.369 --> 00:36:10.880 appears over you. Nations will be attracted to 00:36:10.880 --> 00:36:14.039 your radiant light and kings to the sunrise glory 00:36:14.039 --> 00:36:18.360 of your new day. Lift up your eyes higher. Look 00:36:18.360 --> 00:36:21.360 all around you and believe, for your sons are 00:36:21.360 --> 00:36:24.599 returning from far away and your daughters are 00:36:24.599 --> 00:36:27.860 being tenderly carried home. Watch as they all 00:36:27.860 --> 00:36:31.039 gather together, eager to come back to you. And 00:36:31.039 --> 00:36:34.019 that's what happens when the Spirit of God gets 00:36:34.019 --> 00:36:38.039 poured out. Restitution is made. People that 00:36:38.039 --> 00:36:40.440 have been at odds with each other. Yes. You know, 00:36:40.460 --> 00:36:43.539 children to parents and they leave home because, 00:36:44.579 --> 00:36:47.099 well, we don't like your values and that. But 00:36:47.099 --> 00:36:49.440 here it says how they're coming back. And when 00:36:49.440 --> 00:36:52.340 the presence of God comes down like this, like 00:36:52.340 --> 00:36:54.900 it's doing, it's going to put people in their 00:36:54.900 --> 00:36:57.659 right mind, a God mind. Yes. Because even in 00:36:57.659 --> 00:37:00.699 moves of God, like it was the evangelist Campbell. 00:37:00.920 --> 00:37:03.199 What was his name? The New Hebrides in the 50s. 00:37:03.849 --> 00:37:05.869 When the Spirit of God was just poured out in 00:37:05.869 --> 00:37:07.769 Wales, not Wales, it was in the New Hebrides. 00:37:08.969 --> 00:37:11.650 That's above Scotland, or the Orkneys, the islands 00:37:11.650 --> 00:37:13.969 up there. No, it was Lewis Island. Lewis Island, 00:37:14.050 --> 00:37:16.070 yes, Lewis Island. The Hebrides are just off 00:37:16.070 --> 00:37:17.809 the northwest coast. Yeah, not New Hebrides, 00:37:17.909 --> 00:37:20.309 it's the Hebrides. Because they've been there 00:37:20.309 --> 00:37:24.429 a long time, they're not new. But the post office 00:37:24.429 --> 00:37:28.079 ran out of... That's the most revival. Well, 00:37:28.079 --> 00:37:29.920 that was the Wall Street Bible. Yeah. Okay. The 00:37:29.920 --> 00:37:33.179 post office ran out of postal money orders. It 00:37:33.179 --> 00:37:34.280 ran out of postal money orders because everybody 00:37:34.280 --> 00:37:37.739 is paying their debts. Yeah. And the jails, people 00:37:37.739 --> 00:37:41.219 weren't going to jail. Yeah. Because the presence 00:37:41.219 --> 00:37:45.559 of God was taking their minds over. Right. Setting 00:37:45.559 --> 00:37:47.400 their minds right. Setting their minds right. 00:37:47.539 --> 00:37:50.420 So what God is doing here in the youth in these 00:37:50.420 --> 00:37:53.460 things, it's like it's a reset. Yes. Because 00:37:53.460 --> 00:37:57.099 the problem is that the thinking has become so 00:37:57.099 --> 00:38:01.800 skewed and so illogical, really. It's illogical. 00:38:01.900 --> 00:38:05.559 A lot of it is full of lies. We've been told 00:38:05.559 --> 00:38:09.900 lots of lies to try and get us to think incorrectly. 00:38:10.500 --> 00:38:13.820 And this is the enemy working. Let's not blame 00:38:13.820 --> 00:38:16.460 a bunch of people. Let's put the blame where 00:38:16.460 --> 00:38:18.920 it belongs. It belongs on the enemy of our souls. 00:38:18.960 --> 00:38:22.530 He's God's enemy. God's enemy is trying to pervert 00:38:22.530 --> 00:38:26.530 people and cause them to think wrongly so that 00:38:26.530 --> 00:38:28.630 they will act wrongly so that they will bring 00:38:28.630 --> 00:38:31.170 a curse on the earth so that they'll bring a 00:38:31.170 --> 00:38:33.590 curse upon themselves. And then the devil can 00:38:33.590 --> 00:38:36.590 take them to hell with him because misery loves 00:38:36.590 --> 00:38:39.510 company. He doesn't want to go by himself and 00:38:39.510 --> 00:38:42.309 he's going there for sure. So he wants to take 00:38:42.309 --> 00:38:44.630 as many of God's people with him as he possibly 00:38:44.630 --> 00:38:48.349 can. So he's looking for every possible way to 00:38:48.349 --> 00:38:52.699 sneak around. and twist and pervert the thinking 00:38:52.699 --> 00:38:55.239 of people so that they're thinking incorrectly. 00:38:55.460 --> 00:38:58.300 They're not thinking according to the instruction 00:38:58.300 --> 00:39:01.659 book that our Heavenly Father gave us. The Lord 00:39:01.659 --> 00:39:04.000 gave these instructions so that we could live 00:39:04.000 --> 00:39:07.119 well, so that we could live a life that ultimately 00:39:07.119 --> 00:39:10.269 is joyful. You know, when you stay in the presence 00:39:10.269 --> 00:39:12.550 of God, you're staying in the presence of joy. 00:39:12.769 --> 00:39:15.809 There's peace. There's everything that we need 00:39:15.809 --> 00:39:19.429 is there in him. There's a prosperity. There's 00:39:19.429 --> 00:39:22.090 all of these things that will have everything 00:39:22.090 --> 00:39:25.090 that we need to do the job that he's given us 00:39:25.090 --> 00:39:28.030 to do. And we'll do it with joy. He's rejoicing 00:39:28.030 --> 00:39:32.010 over us. He's singing over us. He's drawing us 00:39:32.010 --> 00:39:35.190 into his kingdom. And he wants us just to begin 00:39:35.190 --> 00:39:37.869 to flow with him because that's how he does it. 00:39:37.869 --> 00:39:42.090 Yes. Amen. I was looking here, and Luke, because 00:39:42.090 --> 00:39:46.849 we looked up verses on light. Yes. And this is 00:39:46.849 --> 00:39:49.809 the story of Simeon when he comes to the temple. 00:39:49.949 --> 00:39:53.829 Now, this is when Jesus was first born, and he 00:39:53.829 --> 00:39:58.630 goes in for his dedication. It has to do with 00:39:58.630 --> 00:40:01.110 Mary's purification. Mary's purification. Yeah. 00:40:01.670 --> 00:40:03.849 He'd already been circumcised before. So there 00:40:03.849 --> 00:40:05.769 was Anna who was in the temple. That was the 00:40:05.769 --> 00:40:09.230 prophetess that came up. And now this is Simeon. 00:40:09.949 --> 00:40:12.610 And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem. This 00:40:12.610 --> 00:40:16.429 is verse 25 of chapter 2 of Luke, whose name 00:40:16.429 --> 00:40:19.329 was Simeon. And the same man was just and devout, 00:40:19.349 --> 00:40:22.869 waiting for the consolation of Israel. And the 00:40:22.869 --> 00:40:26.110 Holy Ghost was upon him. And it was revealed 00:40:26.110 --> 00:40:29.110 unto him by the Holy Ghost that he should not 00:40:29.110 --> 00:40:31.630 see death before he had seen the Lord's Christ. 00:40:32.190 --> 00:40:35.230 And he came by the Spirit into the temple. And 00:40:35.230 --> 00:40:37.570 when the parents brought in the child Jesus to 00:40:37.570 --> 00:40:40.489 do for him after the custom of the law, then 00:40:40.489 --> 00:40:43.230 took he him up in his arms and blessed God and 00:40:43.230 --> 00:40:46.969 said, Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart 00:40:46.969 --> 00:40:50.730 in peace according to thy word. For mine eyes 00:40:50.730 --> 00:40:54.289 have seen thy salvation. And that word is Yeshua. 00:40:54.940 --> 00:40:58.000 Amen. Which thou hast prepared before the face 00:40:58.000 --> 00:41:01.820 of all people, a light to lighten the Gentiles 00:41:01.820 --> 00:41:06.320 and the glory of thy people Israel. And Joseph 00:41:06.320 --> 00:41:08.579 and his mother marveled at these things which 00:41:08.579 --> 00:41:12.760 were spoken of him. And so this is a light to 00:41:12.760 --> 00:41:15.980 the Gentiles. And this is what it also said in 00:41:15.980 --> 00:41:19.440 Isaiah chapter 60, that there will be a light 00:41:19.440 --> 00:41:22.690 to the Gentiles. who are Gentiles, you know, 00:41:22.690 --> 00:41:25.989 we're not Jewish, but we are grafted in. That's 00:41:25.989 --> 00:41:27.889 right. And you might want to translate this, 00:41:27.909 --> 00:41:30.409 a light to the heathen. Right. Because there's 00:41:30.409 --> 00:41:34.289 a lot of heathenistic activity going on. And 00:41:34.289 --> 00:41:36.449 I mean, I was a heathen. I talked about in my 00:41:36.449 --> 00:41:40.150 heathen days, you know, my BC days before Christ, 00:41:40.309 --> 00:41:43.550 you know, that we were heathens. Like I never 00:41:43.550 --> 00:41:46.690 got into drugs, you know, occasional drink now 00:41:46.690 --> 00:41:49.269 and then, depending who I was with. Never had 00:41:49.269 --> 00:41:52.559 a cigarette, you know. So by my standards like 00:41:52.559 --> 00:41:55.219 that, I'm still a Christian, some people would 00:41:55.219 --> 00:41:57.639 think. But I grew up in a Christian family, but 00:41:57.639 --> 00:42:00.880 this does not make me a Christian. A Christian 00:42:00.880 --> 00:42:04.539 is when you ask Jesus into your heart, and he 00:42:04.539 --> 00:42:07.679 lives in you. And like Dean said, when he went 00:42:07.679 --> 00:42:10.559 to heaven, when he died, and he did come back, 00:42:10.639 --> 00:42:14.460 and he saw Jesus, and Jesus saw himself in him. 00:42:15.159 --> 00:42:18.480 And he knew because Jesus was in him, he was 00:42:18.480 --> 00:42:20.639 in. Exactly. So that's what we have to have. 00:42:20.659 --> 00:42:23.340 We have to have Jesus in us. And he's trying 00:42:23.340 --> 00:42:25.539 to get as many people into heaven as he can. 00:42:25.679 --> 00:42:28.000 Absolutely. And even if it's the death of one 00:42:28.000 --> 00:42:32.239 person, like it was Stephen that was stoned in 00:42:32.239 --> 00:42:35.300 the New Testament, Saul, the one who permitted 00:42:35.300 --> 00:42:38.519 this to happen, even holding the coats of those 00:42:38.519 --> 00:42:41.500 that are stoning him, killing him. I mean, can 00:42:41.500 --> 00:42:44.579 you imagine getting stoned by stones? And so 00:42:44.579 --> 00:42:48.519 Saul is the one that had this visitation, changed 00:42:48.519 --> 00:42:51.440 his name to Paul, and turned out to be the apostle 00:42:51.440 --> 00:42:55.119 to the Gentiles. And God will do things that 00:42:55.119 --> 00:42:57.840 will turn your apple cart upside down. Here's 00:42:57.840 --> 00:43:00.980 Saul, who is a master of the law, knows all the 00:43:00.980 --> 00:43:03.849 law, trained under the feet of Gamaliel. Who 00:43:03.849 --> 00:43:06.309 was a great, great, great teacher back then. 00:43:06.409 --> 00:43:09.630 And now he's apostle to the Gentiles. And then 00:43:09.630 --> 00:43:11.630 you have Peter, the fisherman, who is ignorant. 00:43:11.989 --> 00:43:13.849 You know, that's what they call these men are 00:43:13.849 --> 00:43:16.449 ignorant. It means they're unlearned. They didn't 00:43:16.449 --> 00:43:18.409 go to yeshiva and all that. They were fishermen. 00:43:18.570 --> 00:43:21.809 That was their life. And how he's preaching the 00:43:21.809 --> 00:43:23.909 Old Testament to them, all these scriptures given 00:43:23.909 --> 00:43:26.849 by the Holy Spirit. Right. So God can just do 00:43:26.849 --> 00:43:30.269 things. Right. Beyond our wildest dreams. Right. 00:43:30.780 --> 00:43:34.360 So Jesus was sent as a light to the Gentiles. 00:43:34.460 --> 00:43:38.900 And so in these days, while we are watching what 00:43:38.900 --> 00:43:42.920 God is doing, all of us who are believers need 00:43:42.920 --> 00:43:47.239 to arise and shine. We need to, and the word 00:43:47.239 --> 00:43:50.440 shine there is actually the word for light in 00:43:50.440 --> 00:43:53.739 Hebrew. So you're stepping up to be a light. 00:43:53.920 --> 00:43:58.079 We were with a lady recently in, I guess we were 00:43:58.079 --> 00:44:01.519 in New Jersey. And I said, you glow. Oh yeah. 00:44:01.659 --> 00:44:05.239 And she does. Her skin is dark, but she glows. 00:44:05.639 --> 00:44:08.679 She's a person of color, but she absolutely glows. 00:44:08.840 --> 00:44:12.500 And her eyes have this glow about them. And it's 00:44:12.500 --> 00:44:15.940 not something that you see in the natural. It's 00:44:15.940 --> 00:44:17.840 something that you see in the spirit. And she 00:44:17.840 --> 00:44:24.079 was a teacher and the children kept saying, she 00:44:24.079 --> 00:44:27.480 glows. She's glowing. And that's what we need 00:44:27.480 --> 00:44:31.099 to be. We need to be so enamored. We need to 00:44:31.099 --> 00:44:35.360 be so in love with God that his presence in our 00:44:35.360 --> 00:44:38.559 life causes us to glow. And that will cause people 00:44:38.559 --> 00:44:42.179 who are looking for the next thing. They're already 00:44:42.179 --> 00:44:45.840 stirred. They want to do something and they don't 00:44:45.840 --> 00:44:47.880 know what it is they're supposed to do. And they're 00:44:47.880 --> 00:44:51.909 going to be looking for you. to step up, arise 00:44:51.909 --> 00:44:56.210 and shine for your light is come. You've already 00:44:56.210 --> 00:44:58.989 got the light. The light comes from the presence 00:44:58.989 --> 00:45:01.329 of God. And the more time you spend in the presence 00:45:01.329 --> 00:45:05.030 of God, like Moses on Mount Sinai, he stayed 00:45:05.030 --> 00:45:07.849 up there for 40 days, came down briefly, went 00:45:07.849 --> 00:45:10.250 back for another 40 days. When he came back, 00:45:10.469 --> 00:45:13.750 he was glowing so much that the people made him 00:45:13.750 --> 00:45:16.610 put a veil on because they couldn't stand the 00:45:16.610 --> 00:45:19.750 brightness. And if God did that in the old days, 00:45:19.690 --> 00:45:22.110 Testament. How much more does he want to do that 00:45:22.110 --> 00:45:26.230 in us? When Jesus was on the Mount of Transfiguration, 00:45:26.469 --> 00:45:31.369 he was glowing. God wants us to glow with his 00:45:31.369 --> 00:45:35.730 light and his life and his love. His love is 00:45:35.730 --> 00:45:39.750 that light in our lives that causes us to glow. 00:45:39.949 --> 00:45:42.889 And the more we engage with the Lord, the more 00:45:42.889 --> 00:45:45.389 we're going to be able to engage with people. 00:45:45.530 --> 00:45:49.190 Yes. Amen. Encounter Jesus and engage people. 00:45:49.519 --> 00:45:53.699 because the Father's love is for everybody, every 00:45:53.699 --> 00:45:56.559 single person on the planet. And he loves you 00:45:56.559 --> 00:45:59.920 like you're the only one. Yes, that's right. 00:46:00.159 --> 00:46:02.920 But he loves everybody the same way. And every 00:46:02.920 --> 00:46:05.880 single day, this is what Dean Braxton said, every 00:46:05.880 --> 00:46:09.039 single moment, God is creating brand new love 00:46:09.039 --> 00:46:13.860 for you. And as you get just soaking his love. 00:46:14.199 --> 00:46:16.780 It'll wash over on other people. It's just going 00:46:16.780 --> 00:46:19.699 to spill over. It's going to impact your atmosphere 00:46:19.699 --> 00:46:21.860 and your atmosphere is going to impact their 00:46:21.860 --> 00:46:25.739 atmosphere. It's time to arise and shine because 00:46:25.739 --> 00:46:28.940 your light has come. Yeah, and I'd like to just 00:46:28.940 --> 00:46:31.260 add a couple scriptures here from Isaiah that 00:46:31.260 --> 00:46:35.320 I just found. This is in Isaiah 40, then this 00:46:35.320 --> 00:46:38.320 is verse 3. The voice of him that cries in the 00:46:38.320 --> 00:46:41.280 wilderness. Now, that was John the Baptist. Prepare 00:46:41.280 --> 00:46:43.280 ye the way of the Lord, make straight in the 00:46:43.280 --> 00:46:46.860 desert a highway for our God. For every valley 00:46:46.860 --> 00:46:50.079 shall be exalted, every mountain and hill shall 00:46:50.079 --> 00:46:53.199 be made low, and the crooked shall be made straight, 00:46:53.320 --> 00:46:55.460 and the rough places plain. I believe this is 00:46:55.460 --> 00:46:58.260 spiritually for us for these days, what's going 00:46:58.260 --> 00:47:02.500 on. And verse 5, and the glory of the Lord shall... 00:47:02.840 --> 00:47:06.880 be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together, 00:47:07.019 --> 00:47:10.420 for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it. Amen. 00:47:10.780 --> 00:47:13.059 I mean, it's prophesied all through the Old Testament, 00:47:13.139 --> 00:47:16.719 especially even Isaiah, you know, of what's coming. 00:47:16.880 --> 00:47:19.500 Right, and all flesh shall see it together. All 00:47:19.500 --> 00:47:21.719 flesh shall see it. That has not happened yet. 00:47:21.760 --> 00:47:24.179 It's the global outpouring. Global outpouring, 00:47:24.219 --> 00:47:28.239 when the Spirit of the Lord is revealed, and 00:47:28.239 --> 00:47:32.030 it's a game changer. Absolutely. And that's where 00:47:32.030 --> 00:47:35.369 we are right now. Don't miss this opportunity. 00:47:36.110 --> 00:47:39.489 Don't miss this opportunity to step up. The Lord 00:47:39.489 --> 00:47:43.869 needs you to help disciple others. And it requires 00:47:43.869 --> 00:47:47.820 that we all be... equipped. That's why we're 00:47:47.820 --> 00:47:51.159 doing these podcasts, to equip the saints for 00:47:51.159 --> 00:47:55.400 the global outpouring. It's time. It's time for 00:47:55.400 --> 00:47:59.679 us to see something new, do something new. It 00:47:59.679 --> 00:48:02.239 hasn't happened all in one moment yet, but there 00:48:02.239 --> 00:48:07.719 is a groundswell right now, and we need to strike 00:48:07.719 --> 00:48:11.000 while the iron is hot. We need to participate 00:48:11.000 --> 00:48:16.489 in what God is doing in these days. Father, in 00:48:16.489 --> 00:48:20.610 Jesus' name, we appeal to you to pour out your 00:48:20.610 --> 00:48:24.679 Spirit on all flesh. Give us your heart. for 00:48:24.679 --> 00:48:27.460 the outpouring, that every single one of us that 00:48:27.460 --> 00:48:29.960 are participating and listening to this podcast, 00:48:30.280 --> 00:48:32.619 that every single one of us will begin to have 00:48:32.619 --> 00:48:36.619 a swelling in our hearts, Lord, an increase of 00:48:36.619 --> 00:48:39.400 love for you, an increase of your love operating 00:48:39.400 --> 00:48:43.059 in us and through us, so that you can use us, 00:48:43.159 --> 00:48:45.519 Lord. None of us are ever going to be Charlie 00:48:45.519 --> 00:48:49.380 Kirk. But we're going to be the person you made 00:48:49.380 --> 00:48:53.340 us to be. Yes. To do what we're called to do 00:48:53.340 --> 00:48:57.599 in these days. Not waiting. Not... procrastinating, 00:48:57.599 --> 00:49:00.860 not putting off until next week, but now, today, 00:49:01.159 --> 00:49:06.500 to draw closer to you, to be used by you in prayer, 00:49:06.760 --> 00:49:10.099 in intercession, in interaction with people, 00:49:10.260 --> 00:49:13.360 in just saying something to somebody, maybe even 00:49:13.360 --> 00:49:16.539 just smiling at somebody, but to increase your 00:49:16.539 --> 00:49:19.539 presence in our lives. So that people will be 00:49:19.539 --> 00:49:22.079 drawn to you. It's not like we want them to be 00:49:22.079 --> 00:49:24.500 drawn to us. We want them to be drawn to you 00:49:24.500 --> 00:49:27.880 and that we can help them to find you and to 00:49:27.880 --> 00:49:30.739 get strong in their faith so that they won't 00:49:30.739 --> 00:49:33.820 just fall off. Lord, we're asking you to plow 00:49:33.820 --> 00:49:37.260 the ground. Plow up those hard places and take 00:49:37.260 --> 00:49:40.340 out the stones and scare away the birds so that 00:49:40.340 --> 00:49:43.440 those things that Jesus spoke of in the parable 00:49:43.440 --> 00:49:47.780 of the sower, that every seed that's planted 00:49:47.780 --> 00:49:50.980 in the ground is going to bring forth good fruit, 00:49:51.099 --> 00:49:54.320 30, 60, and 100 -fold, Lord. We're asking you 00:49:54.320 --> 00:49:57.280 to do this in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. 00:49:57.840 --> 00:50:07.349 Amen. Amen.
