It's time for us to see something new, do something
new. It hasn't happened all in one moment yet,
but there is a groundswell right now. And we
need to strike while the iron is hot. We need
to participate in what God is doing in these
days. God promises in Joel 2 .28 to pour His
Spirit out on all humanity. Welcome to Global
Outpouring, where we contend for that promise
outpouring, we equip for that outpouring, so
that we may engage in that very outpouring. I'm
Philip Buss. And I'm Sharon Buss. Welcome to
the podcast today. We're so glad that you're
with us. We want to talk about the Charlie Kirk

when Charlie Kirk was assassinated, murdered,
whatever you want to call it, on September 10th.
There's been a big shift since then. Ooh, spiritual
shift. Yeah, spiritual shift, a shift of attitudes.
We've seen all kinds of YouTube shorts and so
on of people that have decided to go to church.
Yeah, that's amazing. That's just really, really
astounding. Well, you know, it's very significant
to me that the name Charlie means free man as
opposed to being a slave, and it could also mean
warrior. He was really a warrior. He was a warrior.
Absolutely. He was constantly in war, in debates
all the time. And his last name, Kirk, means
church. It's what you would hear if you went
to Scotland or northern England. That's the word
that's used for church, is Kirk. Kirk, yeah.
So, you know, he was a free man. choosing freely
to go to church. And I think there's this thing
that's going on where people are being drawn
to church. And I remember back a while, a good
many years, 9 -11 -2001, that for the first two
weeks after that tragedy where we had an act
of terrorism on our own soil in New York City,
where the World Trade Center's buildings were
knocked down by these airplanes that went into
them. For two weeks, the churches of America
were full. But I don't think that the majority
of the people who went back to church at that
time found a place where they could relate to.
They were hearing messages like, no, no, this
wasn't judgment. No, no, they're there. It's
okay. And there wasn't anything that gave people
a clarity of what was really going on, that this
is the first, really, on our soil of acts of
terror where Islam is stepping up to try and
take over the world. That's really what's going
on. It's obvious now. Yeah. Just get on YouTube
and look at all the shorts, what's going on in
England and all the European countries, Spain,
all these, and they show pictures. I thought
that's not the... That's not the France or the
England I remember when we were there. No, not
at all. Not at all. And we saw recently a short
of someone, a lady in her older years, that was
rebuking these Muslim guys on the street that
were trying to pass out Korans and trying to
preach the Koran. And she, you know, she was
rebuking them saying, this is a Christian nation.
You don't belong here and those kind of things.
I don't want anything to do with your Quran.
And the police came and arrested her. Yeah, I
saw that. That's astounding. Astounding is, right.
So, you know, it's... This is England. This is
where our King James Bible came out of. Exactly,
exactly. The King of England is the one that...
said to do this, translate this. Right. And there
were some previous translations before that,
but that one became the authorized version. The
authorized version. And it went for quite a while.
I mean, it's still the favorite one of many people.
If you can read... Shakespeare, you can also
read the King James Bible. There are some words
that you have to have a little help with. But,
you know, bottom line is the original languages
of the Bible, both Hebrew and Aramaic and Greek,
are languages that are rich in words. Their words
have multiple meanings and depths of meaning
that... It takes more words in English. That's
why I like the Amplified Classic in particular
and some of these other translations. You almost
need to read multiple translations to even begin
to sound the depths of what's in the Scripture.
There is not one translation that's perfect.
Not any one of them. As good as the King James
is, it's not perfect. But it doesn't try. To
take things out of it that are like the blood
of Jesus, which is different versions. Some versions
have taken that out. They've taken scriptures
out. And part of that has to do with the manuscripts
that they're using. And some of the manuscripts
appear to be incomplete. Or, you know, you have
to remember that manuscripts were written by
hand. And I don't know about you, but when I
try to copy something, you know, I might skip
a line. And I think that's how this happens,
especially when you've got things that kind of
repeat, you know, and you've got a similar word
structure and you can leave out lines. And I
think that is part of what has happened on some
of these manuscripts. And then you copy the manuscript
and that one gets copied and that one gets copied
and that one gets copied. And so the mistake
continues. It's like the psychology teacher,
you know, he would get everybody. in the rows,
in the front rows, and tell them a story, and
now tell it to the person behind you. And so
the last person would get up and tell what they
heard. And it's totally different from what the
first person actually heard. Yeah. So that's
one of the reasons why we have issues with translations
and that sort of thing. But the bottom line is,
study the book. Study what's available. And ask
the Holy Spirit. To make it come alive to you.
Yeah, that's the key. It's not getting bent out
of shape because this version said it quite like
this or that. And there's some versions we won't
touch. Right. And there are some, particularly
some of the very modern versions, that are explaining
the image of what's being said rather than a
word -for -word translation. There's different
kinds of translations. So some are translations
and some are interpretations. So you kind of
need to study them all. You need to study them
all and get the picture. That's very good wisdom.
So as we're looking at these young people in
particular that are all of a sudden waking up,
we saw one video where a young man was standing
in front of the church door. Wearing a suit.
And he said, I put this suit on and I'm going
to church for the first time because Charlie
Kirk can't be there today. So I'm going to sit
in his place. And, you know, I just love what
God is doing in people's hearts. But just a few
days after this, I heard the Holy Spirit say,
strike while the iron is hot. And I feel like
it's critical that. We who have been walking
with the Lord for a while make ourselves available
to those who are just starting their walk. Charlie
Kirk had a mentor, probably many mentors. And
you don't be mentored by someone your own age.
You need someone who has more experience than
you do. You need to find some wisdom. We have
been blessed in that department. Different ones
that speak into your life. Right. And we still
have people speaking into our lives. You can't
do it all by yourself. Yeah. And I love the fact
that, okay, so just a day ago on the Turning
Point USA Facebook page, they say in the past
two weeks. TPUSA has received 121 ,000 -plus
requests from high school and college students
nationwide to start a chapter or get involved
with an existing chapter. That's just astounding.
It's huge. It's huge. And it's the possibility
of a wave of revival, but we know that there
is a revival coming, and we hope that this is
it, that was prophesied in 1934. Remember that
one from Manchester, England, that there shall
come a breath and the breath shall bring the
wind and the wind shall bring the rain and there
shall be floods and floods and floods and torrents
and torrents and torrents. And we're seeing that.
We're so seeing that. And even in the natural,
even in the natural, there's so many flash floods
that we're having these days. Maybe it's just
because we're getting more news than we used
to get, but it could be that there's an increase.
Anyway, the rest of the prophecy is souls shall
be saved like leaves falling from mighty oaks
in a hurricane. A hurricane can just strip a
tree of its leaves. Arms and legs will come down
from heaven and there shall be no ebb. That is
the thing that's most important about this prophecy.
Yes, there's going to be powerful signs and wonders,
but there's going to be no ebb. In other words,
this wave comes in and it stays. When you have
the tides of the oceans, they come in and they
go out. They come in. and they go out. And that's
the way it has been with revival through the
centuries, that it lasts for a little while and
then everybody settles down. Yeah. And let's
go back 30 years. 1990, we are in the Persian
Gulf. Oh, yes. And churches started filling up.
Right. And I remember a source we heard said
they sent over like 100 ,000 body bags or something
like that because they're expecting... We're
going to have troops on the ground in Kuwait.
Slaughter. They're expecting slaughter. They're
expecting slaughter. And churches started filling
up. And prayers started going up. And prayers
started going up. And I remember one couple in
our church, they had four sons in the Gulf. That's
right. You know, in different branches of military.
And I thought, wow. The church is because people,
when disaster looms, there's nothing in the natural
can help you. You need something beyond that.
Exactly. But what happened after the miraculous
thing that happened in that war? We didn't get
all these people killed. Yeah. And the thing
got turned around. And after a while, then the
church is emptied out. Yep. There's a tendency
to only stay where you're supposed to be when
you're under pressure. Yeah. So, you know, that
kind of brings up the thing that the Lord spoke
to me when we got the name Global Outpouring.
He said that what's coming is going to be the
book of Acts on steroids. So for those who don't
understand the idiom about on steroids. It's
a popular expression, and it's used in everyday
conversation, but it refers to something that's
enhanced or intensified beyond its normal state.
In other words, it comes from the development
of steroids that help particularly athletes bulk
up. They build up their muscles, and so it's
illegal to use. Yeah, and what do they do? Like
at the Olympics, they test you. And if they find
steroids in your blood, you're disqualified.
Exactly. Exactly. So, you know, what it means
is something that's amped up, something that's
bigger, something that's turbocharged, something
that's more than what you expect it to be. Okay.
So when you read the book of Acts, there's all
kinds of things that go on in the book of Acts
where the disciples are filled with the Holy
Spirit, where in the Old Testament, the Holy
Spirit would come on people. Yeah, like Samson.
Yeah, Samson. In Samson's case, the expression
in Hebrew means that he was clothed with the
Holy Spirit. Like the Holy Spirit came on him
like a garment. So we still can have that where
the Holy Spirit comes on you like a garment because
we're in him. But in the Old Testament, you didn't
have this idea of God. dwelling in you. Yeah.
And there's cases, even the Holy Spirit coming
on unbelievers. Yeah. And they're prophesying.
They're prophesying and they're not believers,
but it's just like the Holy Spirit is using that
vessel. Right. Which is like Balaam. Right. Yeah.
Look at Balaam. He tried to curse Israel. He
could curse it. He could only bless. I have to
do what the Lord says, you know, compelled. And
you have to understand in that context that Balaam
was a false prophet. He was a prophet from his
own nation prophesying under the power of the
gods of his nation. Yeah. But they have an understanding
in ancient times that every region has its own
gods. And everybody knew that the God of Israel
was Jehovah or Yehovah. And so in order to deal
with the people that are under that God, you
have to deal with that God. So he had to get
the word from that God. He had to get the word
from the God of Israel in order to prophesy about
Israel. Yeah, that's amazing because this is
a case of the Holy Spirit moves on them, but
they're not like walking. with the Spirit of
God in them. Right, right. But now Jesus comes.
Right. And the Holy Spirit is here. Exactly,
exactly. So when Jesus was baptized, John the
Baptist said, this one's going to baptize you
with the Holy Spirit and with fire. Yeah. And
that's exactly what happened on the day of Pentecost.
And we've explained this before, but I'll say
it again, that in Jesus' time, When he rose from
the dead, he rose from the dead on the Feast
of Firstfruits. It was when the priest would
go out into the barley field and find the one
stalk that's ripe here and look around and maybe
two, three feet away, there's another stalk.
And, you know, going through the field in order
to get a sheaf of ripe ones. that were ready
before everybody else. And so it's a first fruits.
And then the Feast of Pentecost is also a first
fruits feast, a first fruits celebration, where
they would be bringing in the sheaf from the
wheat fields. They've completed the barley harvest,
and the wheat is in process, but the first fruits
of the wheat would be ready. And so what happened
on the day of Pentecost in Acts chapter 2, as
the believers, the Israelites, that were out
in what they call the diaspora. They're dispersed
out into the nations. So you've got people from
what is now Iran, from Persia. Elam is what they
called it. And you've got people from Cappadocia
and Pontus and Phrygia and Pamphylia, all those
names that are named there. And they've grown
up in those places and they speak a different
language natively than Hebrew. They probably
speak some Hebrew because they're Jewish. But
they come for the feast and they probably didn't
come every year from all those nations. But when
they came... Here they are. They probably came
for Passover and stayed for Pentecost because
they're only 50 days apart. If you're going to
travel that far, you might as well stay. Camp
out in Jerusalem for a month. Right, right. So
almost two months, really. So when the power
of God came on... These people, they were gathered
for the purpose of remembering how God gave the
word on Mount Sinai. And when he wrote the word
in the tablets of stone, he used his fiery finger.
I think the Ten Commandments movie does a great
job of that. There's probably a YouTube video
that just has that clip. And you see this like
a fire nato, a fire tornado of the presence of
God. And he speaks the words of the Ten Commandments.
And a fire comes slinging off of the tornado.
And it burns into the stone. I love that picture.
It's so well done. So that's what they were remembering
on the day of Pentecost was that event of the
giving of the law. And so here they are remembering
here is a celebration of fire. And they're probably
not in the upper room at this point because even
today in Jerusalem, they pray together all night
and they read scripture all night. And then early,
early in the morning before the sun rises, they
go to the Western Wall, the Kotel. Some people
call it the Wailing Wall. In Jesus' day, they
would have gone to the temple. So they were probably
on the temple steps or just inside the temple
area when this happened, when the fire came down
on them. And it wasn't just a little teeny tiny
flame of two or three inches like you see in
most of the artwork. It was probably something
that was more like a foot or two or three tall
that came down on their heads. And when Jesus
gave the Holy Communion, on his last night with
the disciples. He said, this cup is the new covenant
in my blood. And the new covenant in Jeremiah
chapter 31, verses 31 to 34 promises that I will
write my word in their hearts and in their minds.
So when this fiery flame comes down on them,
all of a sudden they're filled with the Holy
Spirit. And Jesus promised in the upper room
discourse in the chapters 14 through 17, I think
it is, of John, he begins talking about the Holy
Spirit, and this is the spirit of truth, and
he's going to bring to you remembrance, all the
things that I've taught you. So all of these
words that Jesus taught them for that time that
they were together, it's being written in their
hearts and in their minds. Paul talks about it's
being written in the fleshy tables of the heart
instead of in stone, right? So all of this stuff
is happening. So what happened there where Peter
says, this is that that was spoken of by the
prophet Joel. He's saying this because all of
these people are hearing the mighty works of
God being spoken in their language. Now, it could
be that they were speaking all these different
languages. Or it could be that they were hearing
in their own language when these disciples are
speaking in tongues. So the point is that that
was a first fruits. You've got individuals from
all these different nations, like the one stalk
of barley that's ready. And here's another stalk
of barley that's ready. And here's these handfuls
of peoples from Egypt and from Cyrene and all
of these different areas. where Jews are living,
and they're getting the Holy Spirit too. They're
hearing of it. And then there were 3 ,000 that
were converted that day, so they probably came
from all these different nations, right? Yeah.
And they're hearing these mighty works of God
being done. So that was a first fruits of what
God is doing now, where multiple nations, God
said, I'm going to pour out my Spirit on all
flesh. Well, in that day, nearly 2 ,000 years
ago, it was... people from different nations,
but there was a one or a two or a five, just
a handful of people from all those nations. It
was first fruits. Now's the big harvest. All
flesh, all flesh, everybody. So what we're believing
God for is that this event, this Charlie Kirk
event, There's an effect that's happening already.
And I'm trusting God that it's not going to be
over in a couple of weeks. I think this is going
to be something that's going to go deep into
people's hearts and into people's minds. And
even though you won't see it on your left -wing
newscasts. Oh, well. Because they're just tearing
everything apart. Oh, sure. Which is normal.
Which is normal. Yeah. And it's a picture of,
you know, we've spoken on this before, but it
was a couple of years ago. We were having an
ice storm, and we snuck out of Arkansas, and
we had to go to a funeral down in Florida. And
while we're down there, we hear where the Spirit
of God is being poured out in Asbury at this
college. And I had been there before with our
founder, chief minister, but it was in a different
building. There was a different auditorium, but
it was in Asbury. It was part of that complex.
And so we're hearing things going on. We're seeing
things on YouTube. And we're on our way home
and we're like five hours from home. And we wake
up in the morning. I said, Sharon, I think we
need to go to Asbury. Yeah. You know, it's just
like, and I'm thinking, you know, my flesh is
saying long lines that, you know, but we've done
this before with, you know, different moves of
God. But we just felt we needed to go there,
you know. So we went and we got there and there
had been a. tornadic storm kind of gone through
and and rain and so i think it chased a lot of
people off maybe but it was about nine o 'clock
at night we got in and we found a subway we just
wolfed down a sandwich and subway restaurant
subway restaurant sorry not a train so we get
in line and it's just drizzling a little bit
not bad and they were just singing the chorus
to honest day the holy are you lord god Almighty.
And they were just singing that. And within a
half an hour, we were in. And that went on for
at least another hour. And it was the most amazing
thing. And what I was watching, watching these
kids growing up, you know, this Gen Z, you know,
they didn't grow up the way we grew up, you know.
Back when we were teenagers in the 70s, like
30 % of kids had knowledge of God, went to church,
and big numbers. Youth groups were big. It was
amazing. And now it's like 4%, and that was like
15 years ago. Yeah, we don't know what it is
now. Don't know what it is now. So here are these
people, these youth, who very rarely go to church,
but the presence of God met them. They're feeling.
The love of God, something maybe they can't describe,
but it's taken away their suicide and their depression
and all these other things. It's about his presence.
And it's happening everywhere. I think it was
New Year's time. It was Ohio State was having
a baptism. This is Ohio in January. This is cold.
And all these youth are getting baptized. What
is going to make you do that? There's nothing.
The president said, go get yourself baptized
in the city fountain. How many people are going
to do that? But when the move of God comes on,
because it does the heart. Right. It hits the
heart and it convicts. Right. The conviction
is powerful. And now we're seeing it happening
all over the place. And then, you know, all these
different places. The move of God is, it's just
like, it's everywhere. You know, you can find
it all over YouTube on the shorts and different
things like that, but you're not going to find
it on the mainline news. Hardly. You'll find
it on CBN. Look at CBN, that's Christian Broadcast
Network. Yeah. And they will show things which,
you know, this is what God is doing. So this
is what is happening. It reminds me of that prophetic
word that was in the stadium. Oh, yes. John Hinkle.
John Hinkle. And he's in a vision in the stadium,
and he hears the announcer say, like, 80 ,000
people. And it's just like, wow, it's a big game
of some kind, big football probably. And then
he watched the Holy Spirit came down, and it
stood beside each person. That's what it did
kind of in the Old Testament. You know, the Holy
Spirit came down, came on them. But it's coming
on all these people, but it's not filling them.
Right. But it's convicting them. Right. And instantly
they're on their face like they're on their way
to hell. Yeah. And they know it. Yeah. And they're
crying out for mercy. Yeah. And the believers
are rejoicing. Right. And the lukewarm are crying
out too because they've been lukewarm. Right.
And then he saw it happen on Wall Street. Then
he saw it happen all over the earth. So that
gave me a picture before Asbury happened. This
is how this can happen. God meeting people. right
where they're at without being in a church. Because
the Holy Spirit fell down on the Temple Mount,
which was just thousands of people everywhere.
And so here you are, but if you're in just a
church or something, the Holy Spirit falls. People
in the parking lot are getting convicted. And
even Charles Finney, way back in the 1800s, I
think it was, that before he got to a city, Even
when he was miles away, people started getting
convicted of sin. And that's because there was
an intercessor. Because there was intercessors.
This intercessor went before him everywhere he
went, and he would pray and he would fast until
he knew that everything was ripe and ready. And
that's what we're seeing happen, because there's
so many intercessors now are praying for a move
of God. Because, you know, when President Trump
took that bullet in the ear, it was like that
was an eye -opener how you really have to pray.
for those that are in leadership over you. Whether
you agree with President Trump or not, he's God's
man for the hour, and he's doing things nobody
else dared to do. But we see how easy, and look
what happened to Charlie. He was taken out by
a bullet. So it's just like that. But it's just
like he's like a seed, the Scripture, where if
you accept a seed, it falls into the ground and
dies. It abides alone. But if it dies. But if
it dies. And this seed, because he was a real
seed of a move of God on campuses. Yeah. But
if it dies, it brings forth much fruit. It brings
forth much fruit. And that's what we are seeing
right now. Yes. Yeah. It's just amazing because
we never thought what we're seeing now would
come out of this. Right. They had no idea that
this is like an awakening, but this is where
the intercessors, those of you who are listening,
anybody praying into this, that this just expands.
Right, right. And the move of God just comes
down. And we were watching on some things. It
was in Massachusetts. Yes. This couple's going
to church, and they said, this is Massachusetts.
Look at all, there's lines of people going into
the churches. They're going, they said they've
never seen this before. Yeah. So it's doing something
in the heart. Right. But we have to pray that
everyone, they stay on fire. Yes. Stay on fire.
This is the key for right now. And it's not something
we can let go. This is a window of opportunity
for the world. Absolutely. Not just the nation,
for each individual. Yes. This is God's chance.
To redeem things. Yes. And I think what we also
need to consider is the idea, as the Lord spoke
to me, strike while the iron is hot. Well, what
does that mean? Where does that come from? It
comes from the blacksmith that is beating out
steel, right? Once you put something into the
fire and it gets hot and it gets red hot, you
can beat on it. You can hammer on it. Even the
word blacksmith, it refers to black. You know
what, that wrought iron looks black, right? Your
wrought iron pan, it's black. So it's made of
iron, but you have to heat it and beat it. And
the word smith comes from the word smite, which
means to hammer or to hit. So it's somebody who's
hammering out the black iron. And when you hit
iron that is red hot, you have to strike it while
it's hot. Because if you strike it when it's
cold, you could warp it or you could crack it.
You have to strike it when it's hot because that's
when it's malleable. That's when it's changeable.
You can change the shape of it with your hammer
when it's hot. And you have to keep putting it
back in the fire to reheat it until you... get
it done. And people have to understand that going
through things and going through fires in our
life is what gets us into a position where God
can... mold us and make us into what he designed
us to be in the first place. He's got a design
for every single person on the planet. And so
he uses the fires in our lives to get us into
places where we need to be to get shaped and
get formed. And it's not a fun time. It's a process
that we don't like, but it's something we need
to go through and we need to just receive God's
grace to go through it. Because that's what's
going to make us what we'll have joy in doing,
ultimately. He gets off the rough edges that
way, and he makes a sharp edge sometimes. Sometimes
he's making a sword out of you, or maybe he's
making a horseshoe out of you. That's going to
help win the battle. There's a saying about the
war was lost for lack of a horseshoe. The horse
couldn't go into battle, and so that soldier
couldn't go into battle because the horse didn't
have, and that soldier was needed in order to
win the battle. So it's important for us to recognize,
and I think, I'm just going to put in a plug
for my book, Rich Wounds. Can I say it's a treatise?
It's a study on what the hardships and the difficulties
and the sufferings that we go through help us
to, be formed into God's purposes and that there's
ultimate beautiful purpose that God has. And
we just go through these things with trust in
him. You don't get thrown off when things don't
go the way you think that they should go. Because
you're going to have opposition. Let me just
share this word that Billy Brim got the same
day that Charlie Kirk was killed. The same morning,
like probably four or five hours before Charlie
was assassinated. Now, Billy Brim is one of these
people that has this experience where she prays
in tongues and there's a man that is from Jordan
and his native tongue is Arabic. And he hears,
she's praying in tongues, sounds like tongues
to me. It doesn't sound like Arabic to me because
I can recognize Arabic. I recognize the sound
of it. I don't know the language, but I know
pretty much what it sounds like, you know, because
I've been around it enough. And he hears in Arabic.
what the Lord is saying. So I think that could
have been happening on the day of Pentecost too.
They might've just been praying in tongues or
speaking in tongues and people heard in their
own language. So he hears in Arabic and writes
it down in Arabic and then he translates it.
And it's most amazing how there are statements
and... words, and then sometimes there's a scripture
reference that he just writes down the reference.
I mean, that's all that God gives. And when you
read the scripture at that reference, it fits
with what the Lord had just said. It's really
remarkable. So on that day, September 10th, at
8 .08 a .m., Billy Brim was praying in tongues,
and here's what the interpretation was. The final
showdown between me and Satan is imminent. He
will increase his persecution of believers. That's
you, my children. You must stand. I am with you.
And so we've got to recognize that when the opposition
rises against us, that we have to stand. And
that's where this idea of arise and shine for
your light has come from Isaiah 60. Do you want
to read that in the Passion? Yeah. Rise up in
splendor and be radiant. for your light has dawned,
and Yahweh's glory now streams from you. When
you read it in the Passion, it says Yahweh, but
there's no W in Hebrew, so it's pronounced with
a V. So it's Yahweh's glory now streams from
you. Look carefully. Darkness blankets the earth,
and thick clouds cover the nations. But Yahweh
arises upon you, and the brightness of his glory
appears over you. Nations will be attracted to
your radiant light and kings to the sunrise glory
of your new day. Lift up your eyes higher. Look
all around you and believe, for your sons are
returning from far away and your daughters are
being tenderly carried home. Watch as they all
gather together, eager to come back to you. And
that's what happens when the Spirit of God gets
poured out. Restitution is made. People that
have been at odds with each other. Yes. You know,
children to parents and they leave home because,
well, we don't like your values and that. But
here it says how they're coming back. And when
the presence of God comes down like this, like
it's doing, it's going to put people in their
right mind, a God mind. Yes. Because even in
moves of God, like it was the evangelist Campbell.
What was his name? The New Hebrides in the 50s.
When the Spirit of God was just poured out in
Wales, not Wales, it was in the New Hebrides.
That's above Scotland, or the Orkneys, the islands
up there. No, it was Lewis Island. Lewis Island,
yes, Lewis Island. The Hebrides are just off
the northwest coast. Yeah, not New Hebrides,
it's the Hebrides. Because they've been there
a long time, they're not new. But the post office
ran out of... That's the most revival. Well,
that was the Wall Street Bible. Yeah. Okay. The
post office ran out of postal money orders. It
ran out of postal money orders because everybody
is paying their debts. Yeah. And the jails, people
weren't going to jail. Yeah. Because the presence
of God was taking their minds over. Right. Setting
their minds right. Setting their minds right.
So what God is doing here in the youth in these
things, it's like it's a reset. Yes. Because
the problem is that the thinking has become so
skewed and so illogical, really. It's illogical.
A lot of it is full of lies. We've been told
lots of lies to try and get us to think incorrectly.
And this is the enemy working. Let's not blame
a bunch of people. Let's put the blame where
it belongs. It belongs on the enemy of our souls.
He's God's enemy. God's enemy is trying to pervert
people and cause them to think wrongly so that
they will act wrongly so that they will bring
a curse on the earth so that they'll bring a
curse upon themselves. And then the devil can
take them to hell with him because misery loves
company. He doesn't want to go by himself and
he's going there for sure. So he wants to take
as many of God's people with him as he possibly
can. So he's looking for every possible way to
sneak around. and twist and pervert the thinking
of people so that they're thinking incorrectly.
They're not thinking according to the instruction
book that our Heavenly Father gave us. The Lord
gave these instructions so that we could live
well, so that we could live a life that ultimately
is joyful. You know, when you stay in the presence
of God, you're staying in the presence of joy.
There's peace. There's everything that we need
is there in him. There's a prosperity. There's
all of these things that will have everything
that we need to do the job that he's given us
to do. And we'll do it with joy. He's rejoicing
over us. He's singing over us. He's drawing us
into his kingdom. And he wants us just to begin
to flow with him because that's how he does it.
Yes. Amen. I was looking here, and Luke, because
we looked up verses on light. Yes. And this is
the story of Simeon when he comes to the temple.
Now, this is when Jesus was first born, and he
goes in for his dedication. It has to do with
Mary's purification. Mary's purification. Yeah.
He'd already been circumcised before. So there
was Anna who was in the temple. That was the
prophetess that came up. And now this is Simeon.
And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem. This
is verse 25 of chapter 2 of Luke, whose name
was Simeon. And the same man was just and devout,
waiting for the consolation of Israel. And the
Holy Ghost was upon him. And it was revealed
unto him by the Holy Ghost that he should not
see death before he had seen the Lord's Christ.
And he came by the Spirit into the temple. And
when the parents brought in the child Jesus to
do for him after the custom of the law, then
took he him up in his arms and blessed God and
said, Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart
in peace according to thy word. For mine eyes
have seen thy salvation. And that word is Yeshua.
Amen. Which thou hast prepared before the face
of all people, a light to lighten the Gentiles
and the glory of thy people Israel. And Joseph
and his mother marveled at these things which
were spoken of him. And so this is a light to
the Gentiles. And this is what it also said in
Isaiah chapter 60, that there will be a light
to the Gentiles. who are Gentiles, you know,
we're not Jewish, but we are grafted in. That's
right. And you might want to translate this,
a light to the heathen. Right. Because there's
a lot of heathenistic activity going on. And
I mean, I was a heathen. I talked about in my
heathen days, you know, my BC days before Christ,
you know, that we were heathens. Like I never
got into drugs, you know, occasional drink now
and then, depending who I was with. Never had
a cigarette, you know. So by my standards like
that, I'm still a Christian, some people would
think. But I grew up in a Christian family, but
this does not make me a Christian. A Christian
is when you ask Jesus into your heart, and he
lives in you. And like Dean said, when he went
to heaven, when he died, and he did come back,
and he saw Jesus, and Jesus saw himself in him.
And he knew because Jesus was in him, he was
in. Exactly. So that's what we have to have.
We have to have Jesus in us. And he's trying
to get as many people into heaven as he can.
Absolutely. And even if it's the death of one
person, like it was Stephen that was stoned in
the New Testament, Saul, the one who permitted
this to happen, even holding the coats of those
that are stoning him, killing him. I mean, can
you imagine getting stoned by stones? And so
Saul is the one that had this visitation, changed
his name to Paul, and turned out to be the apostle
to the Gentiles. And God will do things that
will turn your apple cart upside down. Here's
Saul, who is a master of the law, knows all the
law, trained under the feet of Gamaliel. Who
was a great, great, great teacher back then.
And now he's apostle to the Gentiles. And then
you have Peter, the fisherman, who is ignorant.
You know, that's what they call these men are
ignorant. It means they're unlearned. They didn't
go to yeshiva and all that. They were fishermen.
That was their life. And how he's preaching the
Old Testament to them, all these scriptures given
by the Holy Spirit. Right. So God can just do
things. Right. Beyond our wildest dreams. Right.
So Jesus was sent as a light to the Gentiles.
And so in these days, while we are watching what
God is doing, all of us who are believers need
to arise and shine. We need to, and the word
shine there is actually the word for light in
Hebrew. So you're stepping up to be a light.
We were with a lady recently in, I guess we were
in New Jersey. And I said, you glow. Oh yeah.
And she does. Her skin is dark, but she glows.
She's a person of color, but she absolutely glows.
And her eyes have this glow about them. And it's
not something that you see in the natural. It's
something that you see in the spirit. And she
was a teacher and the children kept saying, she
glows. She's glowing. And that's what we need
to be. We need to be so enamored. We need to
be so in love with God that his presence in our
life causes us to glow. And that will cause people
who are looking for the next thing. They're already
stirred. They want to do something and they don't
know what it is they're supposed to do. And they're
going to be looking for you. to step up, arise
and shine for your light is come. You've already
got the light. The light comes from the presence
of God. And the more time you spend in the presence
of God, like Moses on Mount Sinai, he stayed
up there for 40 days, came down briefly, went
back for another 40 days. When he came back,
he was glowing so much that the people made him
put a veil on because they couldn't stand the
brightness. And if God did that in the old days,
Testament. How much more does he want to do that
in us? When Jesus was on the Mount of Transfiguration,
he was glowing. God wants us to glow with his
light and his life and his love. His love is
that light in our lives that causes us to glow.
And the more we engage with the Lord, the more
we're going to be able to engage with people.
Yes. Amen. Encounter Jesus and engage people.
because the Father's love is for everybody, every
single person on the planet. And he loves you
like you're the only one. Yes, that's right.
But he loves everybody the same way. And every
single day, this is what Dean Braxton said, every
single moment, God is creating brand new love
for you. And as you get just soaking his love.
It'll wash over on other people. It's just going
to spill over. It's going to impact your atmosphere
and your atmosphere is going to impact their
atmosphere. It's time to arise and shine because
your light has come. Yeah, and I'd like to just
add a couple scriptures here from Isaiah that
I just found. This is in Isaiah 40, then this
is verse 3. The voice of him that cries in the
wilderness. Now, that was John the Baptist. Prepare
ye the way of the Lord, make straight in the
desert a highway for our God. For every valley
shall be exalted, every mountain and hill shall
be made low, and the crooked shall be made straight,
and the rough places plain. I believe this is
spiritually for us for these days, what's going
on. And verse 5, and the glory of the Lord shall...
be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together,
for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it. Amen.
I mean, it's prophesied all through the Old Testament,
especially even Isaiah, you know, of what's coming.
Right, and all flesh shall see it together. All
flesh shall see it. That has not happened yet.
It's the global outpouring. Global outpouring,
when the Spirit of the Lord is revealed, and
it's a game changer. Absolutely. And that's where
we are right now. Don't miss this opportunity.
Don't miss this opportunity to step up. The Lord
needs you to help disciple others. And it requires
that we all be... equipped. That's why we're
doing these podcasts, to equip the saints for
the global outpouring. It's time. It's time for
us to see something new, do something new. It
hasn't happened all in one moment yet, but there
is a groundswell right now, and we need to strike
while the iron is hot. We need to participate
in what God is doing in these days. Father, in
Jesus' name, we appeal to you to pour out your
Spirit on all flesh. Give us your heart. for
the outpouring, that every single one of us that
are participating and listening to this podcast,
that every single one of us will begin to have
a swelling in our hearts, Lord, an increase of
love for you, an increase of your love operating
in us and through us, so that you can use us,
Lord. None of us are ever going to be Charlie
Kirk. But we're going to be the person you made
us to be. Yes. To do what we're called to do
in these days. Not waiting. Not... procrastinating,
not putting off until next week, but now, today,
to draw closer to you, to be used by you in prayer,
in intercession, in interaction with people,
in just saying something to somebody, maybe even
just smiling at somebody, but to increase your
presence in our lives. So that people will be
drawn to you. It's not like we want them to be
drawn to us. We want them to be drawn to you
and that we can help them to find you and to
get strong in their faith so that they won't
just fall off. Lord, we're asking you to plow
the ground. Plow up those hard places and take
out the stones and scare away the birds so that
those things that Jesus spoke of in the parable
of the sower, that every seed that's planted
in the ground is going to bring forth good fruit,
30, 60, and 100 -fold, Lord. We're asking you
to do this in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Amen. Amen. If you enjoyed today's podcast, please
