🧐 Overview
Theological Verdict & Summary
Sermon Summary: A passionate call for global revival and spiritual power, challenged by a critical theological error that places the power of salvation in human hands rather than God's grace.
Pastoral Analysis: While the sermon demonstrates a fervent desire for authentic spiritual transformation and warns against lukewarm religion, it fundamentally compromises the Gospel by teaching that salvation is achieved through a human decision and prayer. This synergistic approach undermines the sovereignty of God in salvation and risks leading the congregation to trust in their own actions rather than Christ's finished work.
Biblical Parallel (Archetype): Sardis — The sermon exhibits the characteristics of the church of Sardis, having a reputation for spiritual vitality and revivalism while being spiritually dead in its core soteriology. By conflating human decision-making with salvation (Synergism) and relying on emotional triggers rather than the sovereign work of the Holy Spirit, the teaching presents a 'name that it is alive, but is dead' orthodoxy that lacks the true Gospel power it claims to possess.
Big Idea: The last days are characterized by a global, multi-generational outpouring of the Holy Spirit that brings supernatural power, prophetic revelation, and soul salvation, calling the church to abandon lukewarm religion for genuine, transformative revival. [00:50:58 ▶️ 📄]

🧭 Biblical Alignment Dashboard
Overall Verdict: Fundamentally in Error
| Category | Status | Reasoning |
|---|---|---|
| Gospel Presentation | ❌ FAIL | The Gospel Engine is compromised. The sermon fails to present salvation as a monergistic work of God, instead framing it as a transaction dependent on human response and prayer, effectively omitting the doctrine of Regeneration preceding Faith. |
| Soteriology | ❌ FAIL | The sermon teaches Synergistic Soteriology, asserting that human decision and prayer are the mechanisms of salvation, directly contradicting the biblical doctrine of Monergistic Grace. |
| Bibliology | ⚠️ WEAK | While Scripture is referenced, it is often used to support emotional appeals or geopolitical speculation rather than being treated as the sole, sufficient authority for doctrine and practice. |
| Hermeneutic | ⚠️ WEAK | The sermon employs a speculative hermeneutic in eschatology, conflating current geopolitical events with biblical prophecy without sufficient textual warrant, and uses emotional experience as a primary interpretive lens. |
| Theology Proper | ✅ PASS | The sermon maintains orthodox views on the Trinity and the deity of Christ, though the practical application of God's sovereignty in salvation is compromised. |
| Sacramentology | ✅ PASS | No errors detected regarding the administration or theology of the sacraments. |
| Confessional Depth | ❌ SHALLOW | The teaching relies heavily on emotional experience, personal anecdotes, and revivalistic rhetoric, lacking deep engagement with systematic theological distinctions regarding grace and sovereignty. |
⚙️ The Core Gospel Framework
Why it matters for the final verdict: A complete Gospel framework protects a sermon from becoming man-centered. If a preacher gives commands for good behavior but leaves out the grace and atonement of the Gospel, it often results in a 🔴 Critical or 🟠 Major error for Moralism (teaching human self-improvement rather than reliance on Christ). However, if these Gospel elements are missing simply because the pastor is preaching a highly focused, practical message to mature believers (e.g., instructions on biblical marriage), our system applies a "Safe Harbor" pardon, graciously reducing the omission to a 🟡 Minor error.
❌ The Law And Wrath: Not observed in the sermon.
✅ Total Depravity And Inability:
"the depravity of humanity is at an all-time ungodly place" [01:19:31 ▶️ 📄]
❌ Active Obedience Of Christ: Not observed in the sermon.
✅ The Cross And Atonement:
"I pray this morning that even now that your Holy Spirit begin to draw them to the cross of salvation men to hearts men minds this morning Father" [00:17:00 ▶️ 📄]
⚠️ Theological Concerns
🔴 Critical Synergistic Soteriology (Decisional Regeneration)
Root Cause: Arminianism / Decisionism
"if you feel the Lord pushing your heart if you feel that draw today is the day of salvation that's you this morning with every head bowed and every eye closed i want you to raise that hand and say that's me that's me... Dear Jesus, I give you my life I believe you died on the cross and you rose again the third day I accept you as my Savior and my Lord come in my life and I will serve you for the rest of my days" [01:27:49 ▶️ 📄]
The Belief/Behavior: He frames this physical act and verbal declaration as the transactional mechanism for salvation, implying that human decision and cooperation are required to effect regeneration.
Why It's Dangerous: This teaches that salvation is dependent on human will and action rather than God's sovereign grace, leading believers to trust in their own decision rather than Christ's work.
Biblical Correction: Ephesians 2:8-9: "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast."
🔴 Critical Geopolitical Eschatological Conflation
Root Cause: Dispensational Speculation
"I see now that Russia is involved with Iran China is now getting involved we're looking at the Bible played out in front of us." [00:51:10 ▶️ 📄]
The Belief/Behavior: He asserts that events involving Russia, Iran, and China are direct fulfillments of biblical prophecy, treating modern politics as a cipher for end-times events.
Why It's Dangerous: This reduces divine prophecy to speculative political analysis, distracting from the Gospel and fostering fear or date-setting rather than faithful witness.
Biblical Correction: Acts 1:7: "And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power."
🟠 Major Political Conflation & Alarmism
Root Cause: Premillennial Speculation
"We're living in prophetic times I believe that will follow my heart I believe in looking around I see now that Russia is involved with Iran China is now getting involved we're looking at the Bible played out in front of us." [00:51:00 ▶️ 📄]
The Belief/Behavior: He engages in alarmism by directly linking international tensions to biblical prophecy without scriptural warrant, suggesting the Bible is 'played out in front of us.'
Why It's Dangerous: This creates unnecessary anxiety and misdirects the church's focus from spiritual readiness to political anxiety.
Biblical Correction: Matthew 24:6-8, 36: "For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows... But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only."
✅ Commendations
Passion for Revival | Genuine Desire for Transformation
The pastor demonstrates a sincere and passionate desire for the church to move beyond lukewarm religion into authentic, Spirit-filled power. This zeal for God's glory is commendable and reflects a heart that desires spiritual vitality.
Evangelistic Urgency | Call to External Witness
The sermon effectively challenges the congregation to look outward, urging them to abandon internal complacency and engage in evangelism. The emphasis on demonstrating the Spirit's power through life change is a strong biblical imperative.

[00:38:15] She said it's only the government.
[00:38:17] She was Cherokee Indian.
[00:38:18] She said only the government can cut one foot off of the end of a blanket and add it to the other and think that it is longer.
[00:38:26] But, hey, you know what?
[00:38:28] We are glad that we get a little bit more light in the evening.

[00:42:24] I should walk maybe some of you have been saved from some things as well every time I tried to
[00:42:33] [SPEAKER SPEAKER_02]
[00:42:33] make it on my own every time I tried to stand and start to fall and all those lonely roads that I had traveled on there was Jesus when the life I built came crashing to the ground when the friends
[00:43:06] I had from nowhere to be found Couldn't see it then But I can see it now Oh, there was Jesus In the searching In the healer Like a blessing buried in My broken pieces Every moment where I've been
[00:43:45] And I'm gone For this man who needs amazing kinds of grief.
[00:44:09] In this at a price I could not pay.
[00:44:15] Church, I'm not perfect, so I thank God every day that there was Jesus in the circle.
[00:44:38] Blessing Jesus on the mountains, in the valley, in the shadows, of the alleys, in the fire, in the flood.
[00:46:35] Give the
[00:47:13] [SPEAKER SPEAKER_03]
[00:47:13] Lord a here. Amen. Amen. This is for you, Jesus. This is for you, Jesus. We give you praise in the house of God. Pastor Donnie, I want to tell you, I don't find this good spirit everywhere. And I'm so
[00:47:27] thankful for a church that worships God the way this one does. God bless you, Pastor. Amen. Can
[00:47:32] [SPEAKER SPEAKER_01]
[00:47:32] we give the Lord one more hand of praise? Amen. God is faithful. Amen. Praise the Lord. Amen.
[00:47:41] I know you've been standing for a few moments. Grab your Bibles and turn with me to Joel chapter 2, verse 28, and then put your other finger in Acts chapter 2, verse 17. And I want to share
[00:47:51] with you on the last day revival, last day outpouring of God's Spirit. We appreciate the powers. He is a gifted leader, a student of God's Word, and just loves God's people. And I appreciate their friendship. I get to be with them during camp, and we sometimes get to bunk
[00:48:11] and share rooms together, and we've worked many years together and sat on, took our tests together for credentials, and so God has been good, and I appreciate them, and I want you to commit to pray
[00:48:24] for them. If you feel like blessing them as they, as you feel like, hey, I want to sow into their life before we just get to put them a holy handshake in their hand and say, hey, God bless you. We just
[00:48:33] want to help buy a cheeseburger, do something. I don't know. Just bless their life. We believe in blessing God's people, don't we? I mean, I just believe in that. I don't know about you, but I
[00:48:42] believe that we believe in sowing seed in the good ground. Amen. And the man's going to the Philippines to share the gospel. He's going down to Australia to share. I believe that we need to pray and
[00:48:53] bless them. Joel chapter 2 verse 28, I want to share with you, and it shall come to pass afterward that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy.
[00:49:04] your old men shall dream dreams your young men shall see visions and upon the servants and your handmaids in those days i will pour out of my spirit then we're going to go over to the next
[00:49:15] chapter of acts the bible says and the next day that they were of paul's company departed and they came into cesarea and they entered into the house of philip the evangelist which was one of
[00:49:27] the seven and abode with him and the same had four daughters virgins which did prophesy that is not the right scripture. That is not it. Acts chapter 2, verse 17. That's the scripture that we need.
[00:49:39] Acts 2, 17. The Bible tells us, let me get there real quick. Acts 2, 17. That was my fault.
[00:49:47] Nobody else's. The Bible says, I should know it, and it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God I will pour out of my spirit upon all flesh and your sons and daughters shall prophesy
[00:50:03] your young men shall see visions and your old men shall dream dreams on my servants and my headmaidens I will pour out in those days of my spirit and they shall prophesy let me move on
[00:50:16] and I will show wonders in heaven above and signs in earth beneath blood fire and vapor of smoke The sun shall be turned into darkness, the moon into blood before that great and notable day of
[00:50:28] the Lord. And it shall come to pass that whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Can somebody praise God that you're part of that shall be saved? Hallelujah. Amen. Father,
[00:50:42] bless the word today. Speak to us through your scriptures. Ignite fire inside of our souls that we might feel the presence of God touch every class touch our students our teachers all of those in your house and we'll give you thanks and praise in Jesus name and everybody said
[00:50:58] amen and amen God bless you as you may be seated in the house of the Lord we're living in prophetic times I believe that will follow my heart I believe in looking around I see now that Russia
[00:51:10] is involved with Iran China is now getting involved we're looking at the Bible played out in front of us. This is what the apostles wanted to see. This is what they wanted and desired in
[00:51:23] their heart. We're living where the world is shaking. Nations are trembling. Darkness is increasing. The Bible tells us something powerful, that when darkness increases, that God increases his glory to this world. The prophet Joel declared that great and terrible day of the Lord, that he
[00:51:40] would pour out his spirit upon all flesh. Centuries later, Pentecost arrived. Peter and the apostles stood before the crowd and said this is that that was spoken by the prophet joel in other worlds what joe had prophesied what has now begun pentecost was not the final outpouring of his
[00:52:00] spirit it was the first wave of the river of god that would swell in the last days upon his church in the last days will be marked by an outpouring bible says in the last days saith god i will pour
[00:52:14] out of my spirit upon all flesh. Listen what he said. He didn't say I'm going to sprinkle it out on the church. He didn't say, well, I'll, I'll drip a little bit out upon the church. He said,
[00:52:26] I will pour out my spirit. There is an abundance and there is an overflow in the kingdom of God.
[00:52:34] The church is never meant to operate in dry, formal, dead religion. We are called, we were birthed in fire and in power and it is our job as the church of Jesus Christ to continue in the
[00:52:49] fire wherewith we were born praise God look at what happened in Acts chapter 2 the spirit fell tongues of fire appeared people spoke with new tongues and thousands were saved in one single day this happens when God's spirit pours out upon his church God promises an outpouring I want to be
[00:53:11] a part of that I want to experience it I want to live in it the promise was not a suggestion it was not a possibility it was a divine promise spoken by God declared by joy and fulfilled by
[00:53:26] Peter and the apostles on Pentecost I will pour out my spirit the Bible says notice the language he did not say that hey I'll do a little bit I'll do a little dab the Bible tells us that the church
[00:53:41] was born in an outpouring you know I think we always say when the church was birthed in a prayer meeting and I believe that but it wasn't just a prayer meeting it was an outpouring it
[00:53:52] was an outpouring of God's spirit the church did not begin with a strategy meeting the church did not begin with a a group of guys that decided to figure some things out on this capitalize on this
[00:54:04] momentum that we have you know we have meetings about meetings about meetings that we're going to have and yet it was birthed in an outpouring of his spirit the bible says in acts 2 that it felt
[00:54:15] like a rushing mighty wind it filled the house where they were sitting believers were filled with the spirit bold witnesses stood up and 3 000 came to jesus christ why because when god pours his spirit out things change and things change quickly the bible shows us what does it
[00:54:36] mean when the Holy Spirit moves heart softened sin is revealed it's exposed and the gospel spreads like wildfire hallelujah I told you last week I love the shout and the dance but the same enthusiasm that we worship here we better take it to the streets and tell others about Jesus Christ
[00:54:57] hallelujah we need the power of God in our lives we need it in the church last days the church bible says we'll experience the same power of god some people believe pentecost was a one-time event
[00:55:11] that it all stopped with the apostles that it all ended the bible says in there where tongues will cease but it also says knowledge will cease and and wisdom and all this stuff will go away and
[00:55:21] none of that has lost i'm gonna tell you we still need the power of the holy ghost the outpouring was not just for the first century church it was for the entire church leading up to the age of
[00:55:33] Christ's return hallelujah the same spirit is still being poured out on today and it returns and many of us see the greatest outpouring of God's presence in history it's not just in a city it's not just in a church it's not in a nation but the bible shows us that he pours it across
[00:55:52] the whole world amen we don't have some monopoly here in the south saying well praise God we got a little thing in mooresville or over a little thing in canapolis or in charlotte i want to tell
[00:56:03] you he's pouring his spirit out upon all flesh revival all over the world that's the desire of christ not just a city not just a nation but all over the world i'm impressed to see the people of
[00:56:17] iran standing in the streets lifting their hands and worshiping god praising the lord hallelujah there is revival breaking out all over this world and outpouring will reach every generation you know i used to think well i was born in a wrong time i don't know if anybody ever felt
[00:56:33] that before i felt like that that i was born in the wrong time that i i don't fit in with what's happening in this world today it has no appeal to me no it has no desire to me the bible says
[00:56:47] that he's pouring his spirit out on all flesh he says your sons and your daughters your young men your old men your servants and your handmaiden i like those servants and handmaidens you know why
[00:57:00] those people are important to me because the ones that wasn't invited to the party he says i'm pouring it out on them the ones that you wouldn't thought that we receive it i'm going to pour my
[00:57:09] presence on them the ones that were cast aside and pushed aside and didn't think they were good enough guess what the bible tells us he is pouring his spirit out on all flesh hallelujah that's the
[00:57:22] reason one revival just not with one age group not just one moment or one happening or he uses children he uses the youth he uses the adults he uses those who are elders multi-generational spirit empowered outpouring of god's presence you know i i i find it i find it there is a
[00:57:42] i'm gonna preach what time do i like i'm gonna preach listen to me i am i am almost a little bit fed up with what is happening in our culture with our young people today that they are fed a false
[00:58:00] pentecost that is nearly nothing but emotional driven and no transformation now we didn't go to winterfest this year because i had little issues with some of the stuff but i have a problem when our students go to youth camp and winter fest and they rush the altars and jump up
[00:58:22] and down and when they come back to the church they can't stay out the bathroom oh i'm about to preach now i have a problem with getting in in a frenzy emotional moment but can't back and live it
[00:58:38] when we walk back into real life pentecost is not just an emotional response it is a transformation fire touches your soul you are changed you are set free you are delivered you are transformed by the power of god hallelujah religion can exist without spirit but revival cannot
[00:59:04] the early church did not rely on entertainment hallelujah the church did not the early church did not rely on programs they didn't rely on clever preaching but they demand they depended upon the power of the holy ghost they were ignorant unlearned uneducated men but they said
[00:59:31] they had been with jesus there was something different about their life there was something that they couldn't put their fingers on they couldn't understand it wasn't taught it wasn't It wasn't placed upon them.
[00:59:44] It was something they received.
[00:59:45] I want to tell you this morning, we need a fresh birth of the power of God in our lives again.
[00:59:53] The Bible says the Lord added it to the church daily.
[00:59:59] The problem in many churches is not lack of talent.
[01:00:03] The problem is not its lack of outpouring.
[01:00:08] When God pours His Spirit out, what happens?
[01:00:12] Prayer meetings.
[01:00:13] Sister Laura, overflow.
[01:00:16] When the Spirit shows up, prodigals, come home.
[01:00:23] When the Holy Ghost moves, miracles start happening.
[01:00:29] And the church wakes up.
[01:00:33] We need a fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit.
[01:00:39] The devil has rocked the church asleep.
[01:00:44] and we have allowed the sin and the compromise of the world to come in and tell us it's okay but i pray that we wake up with a holy boldness full of god and dead up and declare that this
[01:01:01] is they are not drunk but they are filled with the holy ghost that their lives have been changed and touched by fire we need a move of the spirit again hallelujah so what does that mean there will
[01:01:15] be a prophetic declaration that takes place we are not waiting for revival God has already promised it the promise stands in the last days I will pour out my spirit are we living the last days
[01:01:30] absolutely we're living in the last days we're living in it I won't be honest with you we're getting to a place where people will widely accept the mark of the beast just because of the
[01:01:46] convenience it adds to their life we are we will follow a false leader as long as he promises everybody can be together we we are desiring foaming at the mouth the world is crying for
[01:02:06] peace in the streets we fight anything that stands for justice and righteousness but we want a false idea of peace where there is no right and wrong the bible says it's not that if he will pour out
[01:02:22] his spirit the bible says we need to be ready when it falls because of the last days the the the thing is that when latter day moving of the holy spirit takes place they will be marked by
[01:02:35] spiritual activity that takes place so what does that mean your sons and your daughters shall prophesy your young men shall see visions and your old men shall dream dreams the last day church is not a powerless church it is a spirit empowered church when the spirit
[01:03:00] pours out listen what happens prophetic voices all of a sudden arises the word of the lord starts to come forth in ways that it has not come in many years all of a sudden the gifts of the spirit
[01:03:18] start moving through the church and the congregation and the people's lives then miracles Start happening Manifestations start taking place Eyes start opening Blames start walking Deaths start hearing Those that are demon possessed Are delivered and set free
[01:03:37] By the power of the Holy Ghost But then The lost Are convicted And they're drawn to Jesus We need the power Of the Holy Spirit To make it power to overcome the enemy the early church did not grow through marketing strategies it grew
[01:04:04] because the power of god was present in the house revival brings supernatural you know i evangelized for a while and in my evangelism the only time that churches were excited were when they had revival and then soon as this date finished the deadness creeped back in when god pours out his
[01:04:32] spirit the supernatural begins to take place listen i believe that god's starting to some of y'all y'all think that y'all just having some kind of weird dream because of the anchovies on your pizza that you ate but it's the holy spirit starting to speak to you some of them things
[01:04:52] that you're seeing in this opening up in the supernatural and we've been so much walking in the natural that we can't discern what is supernatural and all of a sudden the holy spirit's starting to show you things and he's starting to drop things in your spirit and he's
[01:05:06] starting to put things in your life and you're starting to see things for what they are you see the demonic activity behind it you see the strongholds that are being bound in your family you look at it not just as well susie's got the same problem that grandma had now you start
[01:05:20] identifying that there's a spirit that has attached itself to your family and there needs to be broken and set free in their life i want to tell you the bible says that sons and daughters will prophesy
[01:05:31] our men and women will declare the word of god and speak it with boldness hallelujah in that last days god warned churches he directed missionaries he encouraged believers through prophetic words and in the last day the prophetic voice
[01:05:47] of the church will rise again but the world will not like it the world will not like the word of the Lord coming forth it will come in stark contrast with what is being said
[01:06:01] think about the early church God used visions to guide the apostles Peter in the early church heavens began to communicate the Bible says that in the last days that heavens will start communicating to the earth
[01:06:16] and you can go outside and see the signs that are in front of us heaven is now talking to earth across the world there are countless people encountering Jesus through dreams waking up watched a video the other day of a woman that was a Navajo Indian
[01:06:39] and she said she was angry about how that the Americans came in and stole her land and stole her family she never heard nothing about Jesus and she said I don't want to accept Jesus
[01:06:50] the Bible that day I don't want to accept anything that has to do with them and she said one day all of a sudden she had a vision and Jesus came to her and said I love you
[01:07:00] and I am the God of this Bible and he began to speak to her and she said in that moment she said she turned her heart toward God I want you to understand something The Lord is speaking in these last days.
[01:07:13] He is calling prodigals home.
[01:07:15] He is calling the church to wake up.
[01:07:17] He is calling us to cast aside complacency and complicity.
[01:07:21] He's calling us to get rid of the lukewarmness off of our life and burn on fire for Jesus Christ.
[01:07:27] Can somebody say amen?
[01:07:32] Miracles are not the goal.
[01:07:36] They point people to Jesus.
[01:07:38] miracles are evidence that God is present amen it's amazing to me I've been in places where the whole place blew up there wasn't one miracle happened I'm like we had enough power in this place or was it really God or was it not God because if the Lord's showing up like he's showing
[01:08:01] up there ought to be some transformation taking place I had a conversation with my wife I had a conversation with uh the guys last night and i said i want to just be honest with you there is
[01:08:15] a spirit of revival that god is moving in our church and pouring and pushing in our heart right now and i said get ready my wife asked me if i do this she said get ready for demonic possession
[01:08:28] to start being exposed and for them to be cast out she said are you going to tell everybody ain't full of the holy ghost to get out the door i said i might tell them to stay and wait and see
[01:08:40] what really the world's about and understand what they're playing with.
[01:08:46] Upstairs on Tuesday night Bible study, we've cast out devils up there with the men.
[01:08:52] We've seen them slither on the floor like snakes.
[01:08:55] I'm going to be honest with you.
[01:08:56] If the Holy Ghost is present, it's going to tick the devil off and he's not going to sit there and be quiet.
[01:09:03] That's why we're going to walk in the power of the Holy Ghost because we don't know what kind of devil, We don't know what kind of demon that we're going to face.
[01:09:12] But greater is he that is in us than he that is in the world.
[01:09:20] The early believers preached Christ and God confirmed the message.
[01:09:24] The Lord worked with them and confirmed them.
[01:09:27] How?
[01:09:27] Through signs that follow them that believe.
[01:09:31] Demonstrate the power of God.
[01:09:33] The world has heard enough arguments.
[01:09:39] They don't need no more Facebook warriors.
[01:09:42] They don't need no more argumentative cynical Christians The world's heard enough arguments They need to see the power And the demonstration Of the Holy Ghost See the problem is In the book of Acts There was a prophetic challenge
[01:10:05] The same Holy Spirit that moved them Should be moving us A mighty wave of spiritual power unlike anything that we've ever seen.
[01:10:19] But guess what it will be marked by?
[01:10:21] I believe with all of my heart, a last day great harvest.
[01:10:27] The Bible says, Whosoever calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
[01:10:34] The outpouring of the Spirit is about harvesting souls before the return of Christ.
[01:10:41] History shows us the first great awakening, the Welsh revival, the Azusa Street Revival. During the Azusa Street Revival, it was so powerful that when people could feel conviction before they even walked in the building, when they stepped on the parking lot
[01:10:55] or stepped out there on the stoop, they had to cry out to God, what do I got to do to be saved?
[01:11:01] Let me tell you what revival looks like. It's not entertainment. It's not performance. It's Holy Ghost conviction and transformation. Hallelujah. What is it about? It's not just It's just not about experiential.
[01:11:16] It's about saving people.
[01:11:20] Hallelujah.
[01:11:22] If the Holy Ghost gets inside of you, He should make you want to tell everybody about Him.
[01:11:28] The Father Jesus.
[01:11:29] God pours His Spirit out.
[01:11:31] Why?
[01:11:31] Because He wants to rescue people.
[01:11:33] Revival is heaven's strategy for the last day outpouring.
[01:11:37] So what does it mean?
[01:11:38] The harvest is ready.
[01:11:40] The Bible says it is.
[01:11:41] Lift up your eyes, He says.
[01:11:44] and look on the fields for they're already white for harvest pray you therefore the Lord of the harvest that he might send forth laborers his harvest not mine not yours his harvest he gets glory people are searching to find fulfillment they're trying to find it with
[01:12:12] money. They're trying to find it with success. They're trying to find it with pleasure. Now everybody wants to be an influencer. They ain't done nothing to influence nobody, but yet they want to be an influencer. Nothing satisfies the human soul like Jesus does. Listen to me. The
[01:12:30] bottle ain't going to fill your soul. The drug ain't going to satisfy your life. You can smoke the weed to get as high as you want to go, but it's still never going to take you as far as Christ
[01:12:42] can take you and he can transform your life conviction comes when the spirit of god is moving the bible says they were cut to the heart bible says they cried out what must we do
[01:12:56] normal preaching informs the mind but when the holy spirit moves he pierces our heart suddenly all of a sudden people get to this place I need God I need Him I can't do it without Him
[01:13:18] I've tried religion pushes us into a frenzy of work Christ tells us the price has been paid I need you Lord every hour I need thee I need thee Lord conviction moves and people run to an altar
[01:13:38] revival produces rapid salvation three thousand people are saved brother kenny davis was sharing with me the other day about a revival that's happening in west virginia they've been going nine weeks or something right now hundred over hundred some people been saved and he said i'm
[01:13:58] gonna keep going as long as jesus keeps saving people i want you to understand something the harvest before christ comes the bible says that there will be a global witness scripture says the gospel of the kingdom will be preached to all the world as a witness to all nations
[01:14:19] and then the end will come the last days of the church we don't retreat in fear but we rise to the power of the gospel of jesus christ and every nation comes to hear his voice
[01:14:36] scripture tells us that every knee shall bow every tongue shall confess that he is lord i want to tell you the question is not whether people are ready to be saved the question is the harvest is
[01:14:48] ready the question is is the church ready to gather the harvest hallelujah it's not well are they ready yep but are you ready hallelujah god is looking for believers to pray for revival i'm talking about i'm not talking about a series of services i'm talking about get off of our
[01:15:13] self-righteousness get off of our just place of complacency we need to preach the word of god boldly you know what I have determined since I have been your pastor I have never looked at who
[01:15:30] gives what to this church you know why because ain't nobody gonna strangle me in this pulpit I'm gonna preach the word whether it hair licks every tithe payer whether it makes every person mad because guess what when I stand before the Lord he's gonna say there was blood on your hands
[01:15:49] And you didn't do what you're supposed to do I want to tell you it's my job To preach the word of God To preach it boldly To preach it without compromise To preach it with the anointing
[01:16:00] To go into the place and call upon the name of the Lord Put my ear to the throne of heaven And hear his voice That I may tell his people what he's saying We've got to preach the gospel
[01:16:13] We've got to preach it with boldness We've got to carry the presence of God We've got to reach the lost let me close in the last day prodigals will return I believe that I believe the broken will be healed
[01:16:28] I believe that the lost will be saved and I believe that Jesus will receive all glory Ashley come help me close this is what I want to say but the last days will be marked
[01:16:45] by great darkness you know that Joe prophesied of cosmic signs Jesus warned about global turmoil The last days, the Bible says, will include deception There are people that think they're right that are not right
[01:17:05] Everybody's a Christian these days The Bible says that they will be deceived That they'll have a strong delusion That there will be deception The Bible says people will have itching ears Searching out people that will satisfy the little cravings of their flesh and their soul.
[01:17:30] The Bible says that there will be wars and rumors of wars.
[01:17:37] Let me just go back to deception.
[01:17:39] I asked Chap GPT the other day, about a couple months ago.
[01:17:43] I said, how do I grow a large church?
[01:17:47] I just wanted to ask, see what it said.
[01:17:49] AI, supposed to know everything, right?
[01:17:53] It said, it told me this, it said, I thought it was very it said you need a marketing and become brand a brand kind of thing that creates a cool vibe culture it said preach messages that encourage and build people up
[01:18:15] and stay away from negative and things that would make them feel bad about themselves it said put your most beautiful handsome people at the doors to greet people we've done that with the ones that are out there it said hire talent to people will enjoy the worship it told me how
[01:18:46] to build a club it told me how to build a concert in a venue of motivation but it didn't tell me how to build a church because if you stand for the word these days you're not going to be popular
[01:19:05] they're going to line up down the street for somebody's going to tell them that they're okay but they're not going to want to hear that god search me look within me see if there's any wicked
[01:19:18] way in my life bible says that there will be a moral collapse look at what's going on in our world it's amazing we've released files i don't know what the files are i've heard i don't know
[01:19:31] what files what i don't know but it if what they're saying is true the depravity of humanity is at an all-time ungodly place we are now sacrificing to molek and we're throwing the babies in the fire sacrifice cannibalism immorality sexual immorality confusion gender
[01:20:03] dysphoria deception moral collapse people falling by the wayside of sin and persecution persecution will arise i'm not talking about persecution oh you praying at your lunch that's not the persecution i'm talking about oh who do you think you are you a christian you go to church
[01:20:31] you love Jesus that ain't persecution people are dying for the message that you sung about today people are being killed the same ones protesting about stuff that's happening across the world are the ones that they kill the protesters for protesting it's amazing to me listen to me
[01:20:50] in all the darkness that's going on the world is getting darker in the 20 21 years that I've been pastoring, church is not the same today as it was then. It's not the same as it was when I was
[01:21:05] a kid. The darkness, though, is the backdrop for revival. The darker the night, the brighter the fire. The darker the world, the brighter Jesus shines in this world. Before Pentecost, disciples were praying for unity revival showed up and revival came because of people prayed
[01:21:33] repentance took place and hunger for his spirit continued to grow and the desires more and more dry religion does not produce revival but hungry hearts do we cannot be satisfied with lukewarm christianity the last days the church must return to the altar it must return to the prayer room
[01:21:55] and we must have the power of the Holy Spirit upon our lives.
[01:22:01] That same fire that fell in Acts 2 is available for us today.
[01:22:07] You know, I thank God for the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
[01:22:09] I think that we've become too caught on glossacea, the tongues, when there's so much more of the Holy Spirit that we need to be emphasizing on.
[01:22:20] Comfort, discernment, the gifts that He offers.
[01:22:26] And yet, we have elevated one over the other.
[01:22:29] but I want to tell you something the power of the Holy Spirit is a keeping power he says don't go nowhere until you're sealed sealed that you've been you've been sealed by the Holy Ghost
[01:22:43] that which is on the inside cannot be contaminated but that which is on the outside I want to tell you something we need the power of the Holy Ghost to keep us from being contaminated by all the things this world has offered
[01:22:56] prodigals come home in Jesus name miracles. Lord, let your signs and wonders show up in your church again. Cities shake, Lord, because your church cries out for you. And in all of it, Christ, this is my prayer.
[01:23:15] Jesus, be glorified. Jesus, be exalted. Jesus, be lifted up. Jesus, be worshiped. Jesus, be praised. Let everything we do bring glory and honor to the Lord.
[01:23:31] Hallelujah.
[01:23:32] Will you stand with me all over the place?
[01:23:35] I'm ready for my God to move again.
[01:23:38] I'm hungry for it.
[01:23:40] I don't know about you, but my heart's been stirred.
[01:23:43] It's been stirred by what's happening right now in our world.
[01:23:47] It's stirred by what's taking place in our nation.
[01:23:51] It's stirred what's happening in our church.
[01:23:54] God, I want a fresh touch from heaven again in my life.
[01:23:58] That's my prayer today.
[01:23:59] Does God do something inside of me?
[01:24:02] When I was that little skinny evangelist, I used to say, take a circle, a pen, and write it around you and make a circle.
[01:24:08] Don't worry about your neighbor, but ask God for you to feel right here.
[01:24:12] Put revival right here, Lord.
[01:24:14] I can't worry about what my neighbor's doing, but do it right here, Lord.
[01:24:18] You know, we can never minister to someone else what we have not yet received from God.
[01:24:24] You cannot impart what you have not received.
[01:24:28] The problem is we're trying to impart something that we have not yet experienced.
[01:24:36] God, let the Spirit of the Lord move afresh upon our lives.
[01:24:43] Move afresh on our...
[01:24:44] Can I just say this?
[01:24:45] This sanctuary is a sacred place.
[01:24:48] It's just a building made with stones and bricks and mortar and wood.
[01:24:52] But it's a sacred space.
[01:24:54] It's a place that we've set apart for God to meet with us.
[01:24:59] It's a place that we said, this is His moment.
[01:25:02] This is His house.
[01:25:03] this is his worst this is his service it's not about me it's about him i have seen even those who are carrying the gospel become tired and weary and broken and frustrated well they should have it
[01:25:21] well let me tell you something there is a spirit of oppression that has been coming upon god's people and we need to shake it off and put on the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness
[01:25:33] we're not we're not called to walk around defeated and broke down and busted and messed up we're called to walk in victory and power someone said you need to be so full of the holy ghost that when
[01:25:48] a mosquito bites you that it flies away singing there's power in the blood when you leave church you should be singing praise unto god when you wake up on monday you should say boy god is good
[01:26:01] you should feel that happening on the inside of you there should be something taking place not dread not weary but no matter what i walk through in this life i know he's walking with me no matter
[01:26:13] what i face he's facing it with me that no matter what i'm going through he's going through it with me you know the bible says that with that isaac re-dug the wells of his father and and he had to
[01:26:25] go the field of things filled up full of dirt and got smashed down and sometimes re-digging the well is harder than digging it the first time because the ground's been pushed down tamped down and it's
[01:26:35] hard to get to but i want to tell you something you keep pushing you keep believing you keep trusting god you keep praying you keep asking god lord i'm trusting you and i know that you're going
[01:26:47] to turn it around in my life lord this is my desire to be more of you with every head bowed every eye closed i want to ask you this question this morning with all that's going on in the world
[01:26:57] if christ would come back this moment would you be ready if the if the if the if the angel the Lord would blow the trumpet would you be ready would you be ready to would you be ready to go
[01:27:10] on to the glory or would you be stuck here if you're not this morning is that chance I'm not here to scare you into hell but I'm gonna tell you it's a lot more than I can tell you it is
[01:27:19] listen to me this morning Jesus loves you his plan for you is good you may have been abused and hurt by life and others but Jesus has gentle hands and he will take care of you and love you
[01:27:37] if you need him this morning I want to ask you right now you say pastor I don't know Christ or somehow another I've got away from him but today I want to start my relationship with God
[01:27:49] afresh and you say pastor I've said it before then do it again if you feel the Lord pushing your heart if you feel that draw today is the day of salvation that's you this morning with every head
[01:28:01] bowed and every eye closed i want you to raise that hand and say that's me that's me i see a hand i see another hand is anybody honest it says i'm ready to give my life totally to him
[01:28:15] there's two there's three somebody said i'm ready i want to ask you can put your hand down i saw you I want to ask this this morning.
[01:28:27] How many says, I do love Jesus, but I'm ready for God to burn something back again in my life.
[01:28:34] I'm ready for Him to do something special again in my life.
[01:28:38] I believe He's coming soon, and I want to be ready to meet Him, and I want to be full of the Holy Ghost.
[01:28:45] Listen, if the Holy Ghost in you don't got enough power to get you out of bed, I'm going to be honest.
[01:28:49] You think it's got enough power to get you off the ground?
[01:28:52] We need to know that there's a power of God.
[01:28:57] Don't allow the gift.
[01:28:58] Paul told Timothy, I know you're a preacher, I know you're a pastor, but stir it up inside of you.
[01:29:05] Stir it up.
[01:29:07] Stoke them coals again.
[01:29:10] Get the fire burning again.
[01:29:12] I'm going to ask, who said I'll stir it again, Lord?
[01:29:15] I'll get on fire.
[01:29:16] Don't let your beginning be greater than your latter, but let your latter be greater than your former.
[01:29:22] Hands are raised all over this place.
[01:29:24] I want to ask every person that will that's raised their hand and says, I'm ready for more of God.
[01:29:29] I'm ready for revival.
