(284) “The Charlie Kirk Effect—Arise and Shine!”

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. Thank you

00:01:16.209 --> 00:01:18.450

00:01:18.530 --> 00:01:21.629

to be important for us to be connected in the

00:01:40.530 --> 00:01:43.909

00:02:31.060 --> 00:02:34.960
So just help us to pay it forward as we are following

00:02:34.960 --> 00:02:37.659
the leading of the Holy Spirit, and we just want

00:02:37.659 --> 00:02:39.539
you to follow the leading of the Holy Spirit

00:02:39.539 --> 00:02:42.099
as well. It's not under compulsion, but if you

00:02:42.099 --> 00:02:44.219
feel led by the Holy Spirit, we thank you for

00:02:44.219 --> 00:02:49.240
your gift. 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. If you enjoyed today's podcast, please
