The Fire of the Holy Spirit

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,000
Hello and welcome to Diane Lake's podcast, Preparing the Way to Practical Prophetic.

2
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:12,280
Our show teaches you how you can understand and apply the prophetic through practical

3
00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:17,520
terms, practical ways, and practical needs that will make it relevant to everyday life

4
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:22,680
so that you can prepare the way for the Lord's purpose to manifest in the earth.

5
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:27,120
Welcome to the second Friday morning session of the Prophetic Impact Tour which was held

6
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:31,880
on April 26th to 29th, 2023 in Missoula, Montana.

7
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:34,800
In this episode you'll hear from Vance Russell.

8
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:39,280
Vance is the Western Region Director for Christian International Ministries.

9
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:43,320
The session topic, The Fire of the Holy Spirit.

10
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:44,320
Let's get started.

11
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:57,840
I want to talk a little bit about the fire of the Holy Spirit and I know that we don't

12
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:04,640
have a large group here today but I don't have anything to be hampering you.

13
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:12,480
I want you to understand that when we minister, I'm just ministering to you.

14
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:19,640
I'm ministering to the city, to the state, and to the country.

15
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:28,240
So what we're putting in motion, or what we will be putting in motion, is finally important

16
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:31,400
for the days to come.

17
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:42,960
And one thing that I know about the Lord is that he's a god of systems.

18
00:01:42,960 --> 00:01:45,880
He's organized.

19
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:56,560
And he begins to put things in motion and then he adds things to what's been put in motion

20
00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:02,000
and then he implements the fullness of what he must put in motion.

21
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,200
Does that make sense?

22
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,880
So he's a god of systems.

23
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:11,120
Our systems, right?

24
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:16,920
So I was thinking about the fire of the Holy Spirit and the Lord told me, he said, I want

25
00:02:16,920 --> 00:02:24,920
you to give him a little testimony about how our fire changed your life.

26
00:02:24,920 --> 00:02:28,800
And I said, okay, you can do that.

27
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:33,920
So let me begin in 19, who was it, baby?

28
00:02:33,920 --> 00:02:35,920
80, 89, 88, 89.

29
00:02:35,920 --> 00:02:37,920
We were a tale restaurant.

30
00:02:37,920 --> 00:02:49,600
I'd been down on some hard bread and one of my two, my two planks.

31
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:57,600
So I went to the dentist and he fixed it and he noticed that I had a bump on my gum.

32
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,600
And he said, I want to take a biopsy of that.

33
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:02,600
And I said, okay.

34
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:09,600
So I took it and when he called me back in, he said, Miss Rosalie said, you have cancer.

35
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:18,600
And he said the type of cancer that you have is very, very aggressive and you have six

36
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:19,600
weeks to live.

37
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:23,600
And I said, okay.

38
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:30,600
So I went home and I told my wife, I said, baby, I've got cancer and I have six weeks

39
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:31,600
to live.

40
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,600
And can you imagine the shock?

41
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:36,600
You know, I enjoy life.

42
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:47,600
I had a business at a very successful school and all of a sudden, breaks are gone.

43
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:55,600
So we went through a series of tests, full body scans, bones, plane, liver, kidney, everything.

44
00:03:55,600 --> 00:04:01,600
And they said it's isolated in your jaw area.

45
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,600
We want to take that out.

46
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:05,600
I said, okay.

47
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:15,600
Went to the hospital and this is about three months after they told me I had six weeks to live.

48
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:22,600
And they said that when they do the surgery, they're more than active, go to my brain and

49
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:23,600
be deceased.

50
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:27,600
And I said, well, I have a different theory about that.

51
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:31,600
So I went ahead and do the surgery.

52
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:37,600
So it was a thyroid surgery that literally detached my jaw, I did it on my chest and

53
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:39,600
all kinds of things.

54
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:47,600
I took out five teeth and right now from here to here I have bone and thickness of the dying.

55
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,600
So I was trying to be careful.

56
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:57,600
But anyway, and I'm trying to convince this because I have time in the sessions.

57
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:02,600
But I was in the hospital for about 10 days trying to recover.

58
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:07,600
Trying to get an idea of what happened.

59
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:13,600
And they took that section and sent it to the Mayo Clinic and came back and said I certainly

60
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:17,600
did have osteopenia in this autoimmune.

61
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:23,600
And they wanted to do another MRI, which I don't know if you've ever had an MRI, but

62
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:28,600
I'm a big man and I was in a little tube and I was there for an hour and 45 minutes.

63
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:33,600
So that was about as much fun as you could get your head knocked off.

64
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:40,600
So the second time I went and I told the technician, I said, well, I'm going to give you a cassette

65
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:44,600
and I want you to play this cassette while I'm in this tube.

66
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,600
And it was a Christian's groove.

67
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:51,600
It was actually Jose M. N. Taylor a long time ago.

68
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:53,600
And so he played it.

69
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:58,600
I got out of the tube and he said, well, we got a problem.

70
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:00,600
And I said, well, I've seen many problems.

71
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:02,600
What's the problem?

72
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,600
He said, well, you got through the thing.

73
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:06,600
Okay, no problem.

74
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:07,600
I said, well, that's good.

75
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:10,600
He said, but the issue is you're not going to give the cassette back.

76
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:12,600
I'm going to keep it.

77
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,600
I said, well, I'm going to keep it.

78
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,600
So I know they don't give a cassette.

79
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:25,600
And I can't tell you what I experienced in the tube, the presence of the Lord was so

80
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:29,600
powerful and painful and incredible.

81
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:35,600
So about six weeks later, the doctor calls me and says, I want you to come in.

82
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:40,600
So we came in and we sat in his office for about an hour.

83
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:42,600
Didn't show up.

84
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:46,600
And I said, well, baby, this might not be so good.

85
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:50,600
She said, well, that's just a little leave.

86
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:55,600
And so about that time, the door opens and the doctor comes in with a big smile on his face.

87
00:06:55,600 --> 00:07:01,600
And he said, Mr. Russell, he said, we have looked all over your body for this cancer.

88
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,600
And we can't try to do it.

89
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,600
He said, it's gone.

90
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,600
We don't know where it went.

91
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:12,600
But it's gone.

92
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,600
He said, enjoy your life.

93
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:20,600
That's the end of it.

94
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,600
And I said, God, you'll be.

95
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:27,600
So he called me two weeks later and said, can we do a chemotherapy?

96
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:29,600
And I said, no.

97
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,600
I said, no, but I'm going to do that.

98
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:34,600
And that's forever.

99
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:35,600
Is that right?

100
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:36,600
That wouldn't mean that.

101
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:38,600
Is that your argument?

102
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:40,600
L, M.

103
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:41,600
L, M.

104
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:43,600
That's specifically for you.

105
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:51,600
But I want to tell you that during that whole process, I took the bottle.

106
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:53,600
I put it on the floor.

107
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:55,600
I know this is going to send a business message.

108
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:59,600
I stood on the bottle.

109
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:01,600
And I began to prophesy.

110
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:04,600
I didn't understand what prophesy was at the moment.

111
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:06,600
It wasn't that time.

112
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:12,600
But I began to prophesy that I would live and not die.

113
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,600
And the Lord told me one day, he said, do you need me?

114
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:17,600
I said, yes, sir.

115
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:32,600
Do you believe that the prophesy was about to end?

116
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:38,600
This was the draft that led to the death of my father and children and my problemas.

117
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:45,600
You know, the first days, I went to church inlijkley to teach.

118
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:47,600
the ball rolls.

119
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:48,600
Yes.

120
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:53,600
So through that process, Debbie and I have gone through many things.

121
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:59,600
2014, I had a major heart attack and the doctor said it was a widow-maker.

122
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,600
I go back every year to my cardiologist.

123
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:09,600
The last report that I had about two minutes ago was that your heart is in perfect condition.

124
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:13,600
Those things don't just happen.

125
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:20,600
There are processes that have to be put in motion and warfare.

126
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:28,600
I have to tell you warfare is the key that got me and my wife through the hard issues.

127
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:36,600
Not to even mention the fact that we lost our son, that was 38 years old in 2014,

128
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:41,600
one of the most devastating times of our lives.

129
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:44,600
But do you know what happened?

130
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:51,600
That happened on a Sunday, the next Sunday we were in the pulpit, preaching the gospel.

131
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:53,600
Why?

132
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:59,600
Because we love the Lord more than we love anything.

133
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,600
He's the key about everything.

134
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:09,600
And when He tells you to do something, you've got to obey Him.

135
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:11,600
So let's get started with this ministry.

136
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:22,600
I hope you've been encouraged so far, but the fire of God has been part of my life since 1989.

137
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:34,600
There's been such a precious moment that me and Father have had all of these many years.

138
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:38,600
Let me tell you, it's only with a kid.

139
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:47,600
We're going to see many, many more years of intimate relationship with the dead.

140
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:51,600
So I want to talk a little bit today about fire.

141
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:59,600
Fire occurs either as a purifying agent or as a consuming fire agent.

142
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:07,600
Throw precious metal over fire and the impurities will come forth.

143
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:11,600
Twice wood and strong fire and it will be consumed.

144
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:17,600
Fire is a very unusual substance.

145
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:23,600
The fire of the Holy Spirit is a very interesting study.

146
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:30,600
We see the Holy Spirit in the pillar of fire that led Israel through the desert.

147
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:37,600
It was probably the fire of the Holy Spirit that Moses encountered at the burning bush when he said,

148
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:42,600
What is this that's not burning, that's not being consumed?

149
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:44,600
I believe it was the Holy Spirit.

150
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:46,600
I believe it was the fire of the Holy Spirit.

151
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:51,600
I don't have any way, there's nothing that I can substantiate to tell you through.

152
00:11:51,600 --> 00:12:00,600
But all I'm saying is that I speculate that that is precisely what it was, the fire of the Holy Spirit.

153
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:08,600
It was more than likely that the fire of the Holy Spirit came out from the presence of the Lord that consumed the offering,

154
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:12,600
the burnt offering in the benefits 924.

155
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:17,600
Let me tell you, the Holy Spirit was present during creation.

156
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:22,600
He made a mess, turned a mess into a magnificent thing.

157
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,600
Just go out and look at the mountains of Montana.

158
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:26,600
Amen.

159
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,600
Oh my God, it's gorgeous.

160
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:33,600
God created that.

161
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:38,600
It was the same fire that destroyed Aaron's sons.

162
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:44,600
They had the Abba who offered foreign fire to the altar of God.

163
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:52,600
So the Holy Spirit fire can help and it can consume.

164
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:58,600
We have to be cognizant of that.

165
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:07,600
Although that pinnacles the Bible says that what looked like planes or tons of fire appeared and settled on each of them,

166
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:12,600
though Scripture doesn't specifically mention this.

167
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:23,600
I want to speculate again that I believe it was the fire of the Holy Spirit that took the lives of Ananias and Sapphira from land to the Holy Spirit.

168
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:33,600
We don't understand the power and the glory of God that's represented in the glorious presence of the Holy Spirit.

169
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:37,600
We've not been taught enough about the Holy Spirit.

170
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:45,600
He's here right now and he's touching lives.

171
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:52,600
The Holy Spirit is an all-consuming fire and it is also a refining fire.

172
00:13:52,600 --> 00:14:02,600
The all-consuming fire is that of judgment whereas the refining fire is a purifying and sanctifying agent.

173
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:04,600
Do you hear that?

174
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:09,600
So the Holy Spirit can come to us as a consuming fire.

175
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:14,600
He can if He wants to consume us.

176
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:17,600
That can come in various ways.

177
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:20,600
I would prefer that He refines.

178
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:23,600
Refine me, daddy.

179
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:25,600
Refine me.

180
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:27,600
Purify my heart.

181
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:31,600
Cause me to be a man after your own heart.

182
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:34,600
Let me be a modern day David.

183
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:37,600
Speak those things to daddy.

184
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:45,600
Matthew 7.739 says that if you do these things, He will respond.

185
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:55,600
It is with the refining fire that the Holy Spirit is at work and has to create a life that's fashioned after our Lord Jesus Christ.

186
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:59,600
John the Baptist prepared the way for the Lord.

187
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:15,600
But it was Jesus who would bring His followers into vital contact with the Holy Spirit and then implant a new spiritual force in us that would transform us.

188
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:20,600
You know some people say, well, possible things I think through are vital.

189
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:23,600
I don't know what I do.

190
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:25,600
All I know is this.

191
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:33,600
I have a message on the inside of my heart that is burning like fire in my bones.

192
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:38,600
And I have to speak these things to the body of Christ.

193
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:41,600
They have to hear it.

194
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:44,600
Because it is life changing.

195
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:57,600
It is a transformative moment that if you will allow the Holy Spirit to awaken you on the inside, everything changes.

196
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:02,600
Everything awakens on the inside of us.

197
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:11,600
I cannot imagine living without the Holy Spirit.

198
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:18,600
The baptism of the Holy Spirit goes along with the baptism of fire.

199
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:23,600
You know there are just two sides of the same coin.

200
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:31,600
Meaning that as we receive the Holy Spirit we are purified as well as enveloped.

201
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:35,600
Fire therefore stands for purification.

202
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:45,600
It stands for purification and as such the fire of the Holy Spirit convicts and cleanses us from central activity.

203
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:52,600
When, I'm not a pastor, please don't hear this.

204
00:16:52,600 --> 00:17:02,600
When was the last time you heard a message about the convicting power of the Holy Spirit?

205
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:07,600
It's been a while. That has to change.

206
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:16,600
You can take your hands off your hands.

207
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:26,600
Fire therefore stands for purification and as such the fire of the Holy Spirit convicts and cleanses us from central activity.

208
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:34,600
It's true that we are redeemed by the blood of the Lamb. Everybody say amen to that.

209
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:43,600
However, the Holy Spirit is very much involved in the same process as Christ in our lives.

210
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:48,600
Let me tell you, He is the one that transforms us.

211
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:56,600
It's the ongoing progressive work of the Holy Spirit in which we are renewed into Christ's likeness.

212
00:17:56,600 --> 00:18:02,600
You're going to hear me talk about that a lot. If I were here a lot you would hear me speak that many times.

213
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:07,600
Out of the opinion that character is a big issue in the body of Christ.

214
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:15,600
Out of the believer that character is something that pastors need to invite into their own hearts and lives

215
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:24,600
and that they need to walk in power and glory and authority and purity. Hallelujah.

216
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:32,600
At the same time, the fire of the Spirit enables us to have a sin and to live to righteousness.

217
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:40,600
The work is a restorative work to make His people holy, like He's holy.

218
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:48,600
Letting your spooky spiritual walk around and making you more righteous than everybody else.

219
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:55,600
The best thing that we can do is to stay humble. Right? Stay humble.

220
00:18:55,600 --> 00:19:01,600
I have people all the time come to me and ask them, they say, why don't you promote yourself?

221
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:06,600
I said, why? Why should we promote ourselves?

222
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:13,600
It just leads to more fleshly things. I said, I'd better have God promote me.

223
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:22,600
And let me tell you what we've learned is that God is the promoter of those when we are in proper alignment with Him.

224
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:33,600
When we are properly aligned with Father, He will promote us every time. Hallelujah.

225
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:42,600
So the Bible describes our Heavenly Father in Exodus 2417 in the international version as follows.

226
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:49,600
To the Israelites, the Lord looked like a consenting fire.

227
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:56,600
And He goes on to say, on top of the mountain, a consenting fire.

228
00:19:56,600 --> 00:20:01,600
When we think about the word glory or the glory of God, let me help you.

229
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:08,600
It means the abiding, manifested presence of God.

230
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:16,600
How many wanted the abiding manifestation of the presence of God?

231
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:22,600
Yes. We want that. And the key word here is abiding.

232
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:26,600
It means He's not going to leave.

233
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:34,600
It's like the Lord said, when I show up, I show up with fire.

234
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:41,600
I show up with enthusiasm, zeal, and with power.

235
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:51,600
Look, the key here is religious spirits make us think that we can interact with God through another person's anointing.

236
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:59,600
I ask the Lord, when I said, God, give me the definition of a religious spirit.

237
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:04,600
He said, it's real simple. You ready? I said yes.

238
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:12,600
He said, being religious means that you try to achieve spiritual assignments through natural means.

239
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:15,600
Get that in your spirit.

240
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:25,600
Don't try to put things in motion from spiritual perspective, from a natural identity.

241
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:28,600
Don't do it.

242
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:33,600
You might find out what it meant, but today they have an attitude of men.

243
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:46,600
Please see that when we walk with Jesus, and He is the God that has buried eyes and whose feet are like bones, and found in the book of Revelation,

244
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:51,600
that He's the one that we worship. We worship Your church.

245
00:21:51,600 --> 00:22:03,600
I love Your church. I love Your pastor, but do not, I repeat, do not pedestalize Him or her.

246
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:11,600
Put Jesus on the altar of your body. Amen.

247
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:17,600
He burns up empathy in our hearts, and He burns up lukewarm.

248
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:25,600
You should know Bishop talked about that last night. You know what I've learned about Bishop after knowing him for only 30 years?

249
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:31,600
It's not the big things that he says. It's those little nuggets.

250
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:39,600
Oh boy, do I listen to those little nuggets when he dropped that bomb about lukewarm this last night?

251
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:47,600
You better look out. You better look out, because he's saying something very, very specific.

252
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:55,600
You think, well, you just sound like an oaky from Oklahoma. Oh no, no, no, no, you better listen.

253
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:59,600
It's time to listen.

254
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:07,600
The prophet Zechariah firms how God burns things up in Zechariah 2.5, and now he declares,

255
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:12,600
and I myself will build a wall of fire around it, around what? Around you.

256
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:19,600
Say, he is a wall, a fire, around me, Hallelujah.

257
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:29,600
And he declares that I'll be the glory within. Say that God is the glory within me.

258
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:40,600
Amen. We see that the Lord points to the fact that his glory is the shield and fortification around us.

259
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:49,600
Amen. Do you believe that? If he's a fortification around us, then nothing can get in.

260
00:23:49,600 --> 00:24:00,600
The Lord wants to make sure that we're vessels who walk in alignment with him. I have a whole message on that, alignment issue.

261
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:09,600
And let me tell you something that's not a small issue. It's a big deal. How do we get into perfect alignment with God?

262
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:19,600
Stay humble. Walk behind the breaker. Let him open the way because Jesus Christ is our breaker.

263
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:27,600
He is the breaker anointing, and he will break open the way for you. And one thing I've learned, I'm an intercessor.

264
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:34,600
I don't believe you can be an apostle and prophet without prayer. Did you just hear what I said?

265
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:45,600
Yes. You better be praying. And one thing I've learned about intercession is that when you're going through thresholds, going to new levels,

266
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:53,600
you better watch out what's on the other side of the threshold. Normally there's a python on the other side.

267
00:24:53,600 --> 00:25:00,600
And that python's purpose is to strain your life out of you. But if you lie down behind the breaker,

268
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:07,600
when he goes through the threshold, he destroys everything on the other side that would work for a tank.

269
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:17,600
And then you follow him right on through that stage. Hello. Do you hear me? Hello.

270
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:22,600
So the final Holy Spirit will run away the indifference, do you believe that?

271
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:32,600
And, oh boy, the big SC word, self-centeredness, as President reminds.

272
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:40,600
We always remember we serve a Lord who seeks, listen to the virus.

273
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:52,600
Lord, you must burn us up. I was praying one day about that and I said, Lord, fire scares me. He said, well, I understand.

274
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:57,600
And he said, as you have the natural fire this before you, it will hurt you.

275
00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:07,600
But he said, the spiritual fire, listen son, run to it. Go run away from it. Run to it.

276
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:15,600
I ran to that fire of the Holy Ghost and I will never run away from it.

277
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:22,600
Tanya, what is your husband's name? Doug. Doug, how are you today, buddy? I'm wonderful.

278
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:25,600
I know you are. Bless your little peep in the heart.

279
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:33,600
You know, Tanya was telling me about an issue that you had suffered 11 years ago.

280
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:46,600
And it was pretty devastating. You died. And there was brain damage. Do you believe God was the creator of all things?

281
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:56,600
Do you believe he created your brain? Everybody reach your hands to him. He's done the miracle I have.

282
00:26:56,600 --> 00:27:04,600
So rub, rub, abu, sundar, ma sundar, brain damage, be reversed.

283
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:13,600
Feel the brain, bring all the cells together. Bring everything together for our brother.

284
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:22,600
How did it end? Good name is Doug. Doug, you and Tanya are going to go on vacation.

285
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:29,600
It's going to be the best thing and the best thing you've ever had in your life because God just killed you.

286
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:34,600
Hallelujah.

287
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:40,600
Because the Holy Spirit is the main fiend, right?

288
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:46,600
He's also a poet who's addressed to the body of Christ. He's such a good thought.

289
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:56,600
He's done an ogre in heaven devising your next test. He's in heaven preparing you for your next blessing.

290
00:27:56,600 --> 00:28:07,600
He's a good thought. He's a loving thought. He's compassionate. He has our best interest in mind.

291
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:10,600
Thank you Jesus.

292
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:17,600
So fire holds no single shape. You know that when you look at a fire, it's not always the same, right?

293
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:22,600
It can roar through a forest and thud through a field.

294
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:32,600
Through heat, light, smoke, the angrily through the sky or through the scent of burning wood, fire consumes.

295
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:41,600
It furnaces and smells the ore, eliminates the dross and is the same time that refined gold.

296
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:48,600
Isn't that precious? What is the lessons in that for the Ashutans?

297
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:58,600
When the Lord lit his people through the wilderness, the Holy Spirit blazed in a fire that rested over the tabernacle each night.

298
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:08,600
And when Father created the church, the Holy Spirit radiated like fire of glory over his people.

299
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:12,600
The fire of the Holy Spirit is magnificent.

300
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:13,600
Amen.

301
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:16,600
It's great.

302
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:30,600
Which not the spirit the Apostle Paul wrote, because the spirit is as necessary and as dangerous as fire. So pay attention.

303
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:33,600
Pay attention.

304
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:38,600
The Holy Spirit is like a stamp bearing a spiritual emblem.

305
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:43,600
A promise of belonging and protection as well as favor.

306
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:49,600
Like a signet ring it's applied to soft wax.

307
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:56,600
The spirit impresses our hearts with the power and prestige of the Lord.

308
00:29:56,600 --> 00:30:07,600
And no one, no kings, no presidents or anything else will ever take that away from you and I.

309
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:10,600
Period.

310
00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:19,600
The Lord has put his seal on us and he gave us the Holy Spirit as its guarantee.

311
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:23,600
My Lord, listen you all. Hear me.

312
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:38,600
Something's happened to you and I. Yes, we were filled with the Holy Spirit, but oh my God, do you know what happened at the ensilling of that Holy Spirit?

313
00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:41,600
The creative act was put in motion.

314
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:46,600
I say this many times and I hope you understand where I'm coming from.

315
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:53,600
But there was much, much more accomplished at the moment that we got our hearts to the Lord.

316
00:30:53,600 --> 00:31:02,600
You know, we frivolously kind of write that off, but let me tell you there was something so much about NAMIC that happened.

317
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:07,600
Jesus became part of us.

318
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:09,600
You know, Jesus in your heart.

319
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:11,600
You're in your hand again Jesus in your heart.

320
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:15,600
Then you got all the power and majesty and glory.

321
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:17,600
You got him in your heart.

322
00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:28,600
You got exusion and dynamo and great taste and mischievous energy of power.

323
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:34,600
And so Lord went there and said, Lord, how in the world do many of us do the things that we do?

324
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:41,600
And now when we're faced with difficult situations, we just look at it and laugh, move on.

325
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:46,600
Keep plowing, keep your head down, keep going, don't stop.

326
00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:56,600
He said, because I'm giving you my power.

327
00:31:56,600 --> 00:32:03,600
In the right of confirmation which acknowledges the presence of the Holy Spirit and the believer's laugh,

328
00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:15,600
Lord, this one has imprudent us with his thumbprint to remind us that we're his children.

329
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:19,600
And that we have the seal of the Holy Spirit upon us.

330
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:23,600
You don't think the same thing, you understand?

331
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:32,600
You've got an imprint on your forehand and an enemy notes it, he sees it, and he's going to do everything he can to stop your forefrogression.

332
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:36,600
I acknowledge you today, laugh at it, keep moving.

333
00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:40,600
Don't stop. Don't stop.

334
00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:44,600
Well, I don't feel like praying, that means you need to pray.

335
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:48,600
Well, I don't feel like going to church. That means get up, get dressed, go to church.

336
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:53,600
You're the opposite of what your flesh is telling you today.

337
00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:56,600
Hallelujah.

338
00:32:56,600 --> 00:33:03,600
I want you to know that the Holy Spirit is as invisible as our breath, but as certain as our flesh is.

339
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:06,600
So pay attention.

340
00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:11,600
Never ever forget who you are.

341
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:19,600
In Jesus Christ, in the church, you were created in the very image of God.

342
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:22,600
The Lord lives in each of us.

343
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:25,600
You have authority over illnesses.

344
00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:30,600
You have authority over Satan himself.

345
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:37,600
Let me tell you, I was laying in my bed, going through the situation, and I had my cancer.

346
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:45,600
I know that Satan is probably an orchid and a genus somewhere, but there was certainly a principality that was linked with me.

347
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:49,600
He said, I'm here today to take you.

348
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:56,600
And I couldn't speak. My vocal cords just shut down.

349
00:33:56,600 --> 00:34:01,600
And all of a sudden an angel walked into my bedroom.

350
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:07,600
You know what he said? This is not your fight. This is my fight.

351
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:09,600
Amen.

352
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:13,600
And all of a sudden there was warfare in the beginning of the church.

353
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:25,600
We don't know how God loves us.

354
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:30,600
We don't get it.

355
00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:37,600
After surgery, I was in recovery and had a vision.

356
00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:41,440
I was in a solid white room.

357
00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:42,940
I'll never forget this.

358
00:34:42,940 --> 00:34:47,040
It's an intelligently etched in vein.

359
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:52,480
It's in a solid white room, white scene, white walls, white floor.

360
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:55,880
I'm standing in the middle of this room with this demonic spirit

361
00:34:55,880 --> 00:35:01,840
that's on one side and about a 15-foot angel that's on the other.

362
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:06,000
It's a big sword in its scalp.

363
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:11,920
The demonic spirit is speaking in tongues of me.

364
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:14,960
The angel of the Lord is just looking at me.

365
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:18,880
He's got armor that's in him.

366
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:20,480
It's not on him.

367
00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:22,120
It's in him.

368
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:26,080
You understand what I'm saying?

369
00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:28,280
And the next thing I'm looking at these two,

370
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:31,800
and they're facing off with each other,

371
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:38,600
and I can still hear the angel unsheathing that sword.

372
00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:42,000
And he points that sword straight up in the air.

373
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:45,200
He looks at that evil, and he says,

374
00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:52,040
cancer is canceled over this man's life and over his heritage.

375
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:56,280
And he cuts that thing.

376
00:35:56,280 --> 00:36:02,120
It was after that that the doctors said, you're healed.

377
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:04,360
Now, let me say this to you.

378
00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:10,400
If you're bad in cancer, it's a spirit.

379
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:12,840
It's not a disease.

380
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:13,760
Amen.

381
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:14,760
Hallelujah.

382
00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:17,760
Glory to the Lord.

383
00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:19,640
Thank you, Lord.

384
00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:25,160
I want you to know that the Holy Spirit is like wind,

385
00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:28,960
which is in one place he breathes a cell,

386
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:34,400
and on the other he bends the trees.

387
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:37,840
Wind knows no boundary.

388
00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:42,240
Wildest of all things, wind travels to every corner

389
00:36:42,240 --> 00:36:45,520
of the earth and amplifies itself.

390
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:47,800
It sometimes smells like honeysuckle.

391
00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:49,560
You ever smell honeysuckle?

392
00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:55,560
You smell so good, or curry, or smoke,

393
00:36:55,560 --> 00:37:00,120
or how about the fragrance of the ocean?

394
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:03,760
It feels like a kiss, a breath, a burn that boy

395
00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:05,560
had in constainment fury.

396
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:10,800
It can whisper.

397
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:12,280
It can whistle.

398
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:13,280
It can roar.

399
00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:16,520
It can bend bright, and guess what?

400
00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:20,520
Wind can also inflate.

401
00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:24,520
If you feel deflated, Holy Spirit can inflate.

402
00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:25,520
Amen.

403
00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:26,520
Beautiful.

404
00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:29,520
It can never be stopped or contained.

405
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:36,520
Its effect is observed for all times sake.

406
00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:41,520
To chase the wind is solid, they say.

407
00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:48,520
To try and tame it is the very definition of utility.

408
00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:53,520
The wind blows wherever it pleases, Jesus said.

409
00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:57,520
You hear its sound, but you can't tell where it comes from

410
00:37:57,520 --> 00:38:00,520
or where it's going.

411
00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:04,520
We live in a time where the Holy Spirit is steady as a breeze

412
00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:06,520
and as strong as a hurricane.

413
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:08,520
That's the Holy Spirit.

414
00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:10,520
You know that?

415
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:14,520
You can blow to so—I'll never forget.

416
00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:16,520
I was on a hunting trip.

417
00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:18,520
I was in Colorado.

418
00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:20,520
We ran the estuaries.

419
00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:26,520
I decided to just lay back and enjoy the sound of the wind

420
00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:32,520
wrestling through the leaves of the great estuaries.

421
00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:36,520
I'll never forget that.

422
00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:40,520
It reminds me of the Holy Spirit.

423
00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:42,520
He's so gentle.

424
00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:49,520
He brings that breeze and that cool breeze just covered me that day.

425
00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:55,520
Let me tell you something you can also blow like a breath.

426
00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:58,520
He's the Holy Spirit.

427
00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:02,520
I don't know.

428
00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:06,520
We need to pay attention.

429
00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:10,520
The Holy Spirit protected Israel like the eagle

430
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:14,520
and like the hen brooded over his chicks.

431
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:18,520
Hide me in the shadow of your wings, King David wrote,

432
00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:24,520
because you are my health, I sing in the shadow of your wings.

433
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:28,520
The Holy Spirit is as common as a high flying eagle.

434
00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:34,520
So, pay attention, James.

435
00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:40,520
Listen to what the Holy Spirit says.

436
00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:46,520
The Holy Spirit is like a wound from which the living is born again.

437
00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:51,520
There are so many new things to see, so many gifts to give and receive,

438
00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:57,520
so many miracles to confound the mind and bring the mind to the heart.

439
00:39:57,520 --> 00:40:04,520
It's the Holy Movement that I teach in the Holy Spirit.

440
00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:09,520
It's the Holy Movement that the Spirit of God surprises

441
00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:16,520
and allows to catch our breath and to miss those blessings.

442
00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:20,520
I've been in situations with the Lord and with the Holy Spirit

443
00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:25,520
to where He was so strong, tangible,

444
00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:29,520
that I had to ask Him for mercy.

445
00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:35,520
I haven't said to have so mercy. I can't breathe.

446
00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:40,520
I can't breathe.

447
00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:46,520
Mercy God.

448
00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:51,520
Oh, Father and Father, the Holy Spirit is here.

449
00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:56,520
Pastor Robert, you've asked for the cloud. It's here. I've seen the cloud.

450
00:40:56,520 --> 00:41:01,520
Hallelujah. It's here.

451
00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:05,520
Oh, God.

452
00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:09,520
Oh, God.

453
00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:13,520
Amen.

454
00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:16,520
Oh, God.

455
00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:21,520
Oh, God.

456
00:41:21,520 --> 00:41:26,520
Oh, God.

457
00:41:26,520 --> 00:41:31,520
Oh, God.

458
00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:36,520
Oh, God.

459
00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:41,520
Oh, God.

460
00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:46,520
Oh, God.

461
00:41:46,520 --> 00:41:51,520
Oh, God.

462
00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:56,520
Oh, God.

463
00:41:56,520 --> 00:42:01,520
Oh, God.

464
00:42:01,520 --> 00:42:06,520
Oh, God.

465
00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:11,520
And then here he comes with the conception of our part of the Savior.

466
00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:14,520
The Holy Spirit did that.

467
00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:22,520
The Holy Spirit implanted that conception into man.

468
00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:24,520
The power.

469
00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:29,520
The Holy Spirit has created.

470
00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:35,520
Truly, the Holy Spirit is the great Creator.

471
00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:38,520
We don't see it like that anymore.

472
00:42:38,520 --> 00:42:41,520
No one's taught us.

473
00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:53,520
No one's helped us to see the glory, the power, the majesty of the Holy Spirit.

474
00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:59,520
We need to pay attention.

475
00:42:59,520 --> 00:43:02,520
We need to pay attention.

476
00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:07,520
I'm coming to my first of ten poses so that they wouldn't be a thing.

477
00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:12,520
How many of the Holy Spirit is so strong here today?

478
00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:14,520
Are you seeing it?

479
00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:17,520
Oh, it's so precious.

480
00:43:17,520 --> 00:43:22,520
Lord, I love you so much.

481
00:43:22,520 --> 00:43:25,520
Today I want to challenge us all to go before the Lord and say,

482
00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:38,520
we're coming before you today, so we're going to have the answer that we need to be inundated by your fire.

483
00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:48,520
Now, we need to get ready for this impartation because many times it's going to change everything in your life.

484
00:43:48,520 --> 00:43:50,520
Your whole life is going to change.

485
00:43:50,520 --> 00:43:52,520
Well, I'm 73 years old.

486
00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:54,520
Are you saying that my life's going to change?

487
00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:58,520
You better believe it.

488
00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:03,520
There are no age limits in the power of the house of God.

489
00:44:03,520 --> 00:44:09,520
You can use a hundred year old, you can use a hundred and twenty year old just like me.

490
00:44:09,520 --> 00:44:10,520
Any four year old.

491
00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:16,520
Some times he can even use the wisdom of the elderly to do something about the newness.

492
00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:20,520
Do not be limited by your man.

493
00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:26,520
I know I have some limitations, but let me tell you something, they're not stopping me.

494
00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:28,520
Amen.

495
00:44:28,520 --> 00:44:30,520
I'm going on.

496
00:44:30,520 --> 00:44:33,520
I'm fighting on.

497
00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:39,520
I have fire in my bones.

498
00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:47,520
So, I want you to ask the Lord to find your heart so that you'll pray, pray, pray, pray.

499
00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:52,520
And you ask the Lord to find your heart so that you'll pursue Him more.

500
00:44:52,520 --> 00:45:01,520
If you ever get to a place in your walk with the Lord where you say, well, I'm fighting, you're in trouble.

501
00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:04,520
You're never fighting.

502
00:45:04,520 --> 00:45:11,520
You should always be within your heart to pursue and for greater relationship with the Lord.

503
00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:12,520
Always.

504
00:45:12,520 --> 00:45:14,520
Never stop.

505
00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:19,520
Keep going, keep fighting, keep pressing, keep pushing, keep plowing.

506
00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:20,520
Don't stop.

507
00:45:20,520 --> 00:45:21,520
Ever.

508
00:45:21,520 --> 00:45:22,520
Don't stop.

509
00:45:22,520 --> 00:45:23,520
Hallelujah.

510
00:45:23,520 --> 00:45:27,520
There is no return.

511
00:45:27,520 --> 00:45:32,520
Thank you, Lord.

512
00:45:32,520 --> 00:45:39,520
We serve a God who is not intimidated by this world.

513
00:45:39,520 --> 00:45:43,520
He's not intimidated by the challenges that we face.

514
00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:48,520
He's not intimidated by the brokenness of our society.

515
00:45:48,520 --> 00:45:54,520
What the Lord is looking for are men and women who will focus on Him.

516
00:45:54,520 --> 00:45:57,520
Will you be those people?

517
00:45:57,520 --> 00:45:59,520
Will you focus on Him?

518
00:45:59,520 --> 00:46:01,520
I'm not talking about being self-righteous.

519
00:46:01,520 --> 00:46:09,520
I'm not talking about being spooky spiritual and walking around with this hierarchical idea that you're over everybody.

520
00:46:09,520 --> 00:46:11,520
No, I'm talking about humility.

521
00:46:11,520 --> 00:46:17,520
I'm talking about being in the women that love people, that serve people, that help people.

522
00:46:17,520 --> 00:46:21,520
You want to know how you're going to get through the issues that you have going on in your life?

523
00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:23,520
Serve someone.

524
00:46:23,520 --> 00:46:28,520
I have people come into my church and they say, I want to be a prophet.

525
00:46:28,520 --> 00:46:29,520
I said good.

526
00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:32,520
I want you to serve on the usher team.

527
00:46:32,520 --> 00:46:35,520
Will apostle Vance, that's belittling me.

528
00:46:35,520 --> 00:46:36,520
Right.

529
00:46:36,520 --> 00:46:38,520
That's exactly what I want to do.

530
00:46:38,520 --> 00:46:39,520
It's belittling you.

531
00:46:39,520 --> 00:46:43,520
I want to put you under the covering of the Lord.

532
00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:45,520
I want you to be humble.

533
00:46:45,520 --> 00:46:47,520
There's no will in our church.

534
00:46:47,520 --> 00:46:51,520
That's what we'll do after that.

535
00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:59,520
Simple men and women willing to become baptized in the fire of the Holy Spirit is what God's looking for.

536
00:46:59,520 --> 00:47:03,520
So we can turn this world upside down.

537
00:47:03,520 --> 00:47:06,520
The church is lazy right now.

538
00:47:06,520 --> 00:47:08,520
It's going to sleep.

539
00:47:08,520 --> 00:47:10,520
I'm here to wake you up.

540
00:47:10,520 --> 00:47:16,520
I'm here to tell you that there's something going on bigger than you could possibly imagine.

541
00:47:16,520 --> 00:47:24,520
I'm telling you that there's a new, the spirit that's about to happen that will eclipse anything you have ever seen or experienced.

542
00:47:24,520 --> 00:47:29,520
Anything that you could even dream of constantly ready to do it.

543
00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:33,520
And it's going to require you and I to step up to the plate.

544
00:47:33,520 --> 00:47:37,520
Hallelujah.

545
00:47:37,520 --> 00:47:41,520
I want you to know that I thank God for the bonus of Elijah.

546
00:47:41,520 --> 00:47:43,520
I know he ran from Jezebel.

547
00:47:43,520 --> 00:47:45,520
I know that he was fearful of the book.

548
00:47:45,520 --> 00:47:51,520
There's something about that man that I hold dear in my heart.

549
00:47:51,520 --> 00:47:54,520
He was bold.

550
00:47:54,520 --> 00:47:56,520
He was current, courageous.

551
00:47:56,520 --> 00:48:00,520
And let me tell you he was confident.

552
00:48:00,520 --> 00:48:10,520
Know that our heavenly Father is not afraid to empower you now with the sign of the Holy Spirit.

553
00:48:10,520 --> 00:48:18,520
And he's doing that so that we can create great exploits in the days to come.

554
00:48:18,520 --> 00:48:29,520
Well, possible that I don't have that kind of demonstrable, demonstrable attitude.

555
00:48:29,520 --> 00:48:34,520
I don't jump around.

556
00:48:34,520 --> 00:48:36,520
I don't roll with it.

557
00:48:36,520 --> 00:48:39,520
I don't cry and act like a crazy man.

558
00:48:39,520 --> 00:48:43,520
You will.

559
00:48:43,520 --> 00:48:50,520
When God shows up, you will.

560
00:48:50,520 --> 00:48:57,520
That day when Elijah called down the Father of the Lord, heard him responding to the Father of the Father fell.

561
00:48:57,520 --> 00:49:01,520
The water would sacrifice his burden.

562
00:49:01,520 --> 00:49:05,520
And the nation turned their hearts to the Lord that day.

563
00:49:05,520 --> 00:49:10,520
Mark, bring the fire.

564
00:49:10,520 --> 00:49:12,520
Bring the fire.

565
00:49:12,520 --> 00:49:14,520
Burn it all up.

566
00:49:14,520 --> 00:49:16,520
Burn it all up.

567
00:49:16,520 --> 00:49:22,520
Burn up all the situations that were raised.

568
00:49:22,520 --> 00:49:29,520
All of these silly policies that have been put in place by this President administration.

569
00:49:29,520 --> 00:49:32,520
Burn it all up.

570
00:49:32,520 --> 00:49:37,520
Bring forth your glory, God.

571
00:49:37,520 --> 00:49:45,520
One of the best ways to get wangered and believing people to find their way to the cross is for you and I to become fire warriors.

572
00:49:45,520 --> 00:49:52,520
If you'll be set on fire, you won't care what people think about you.

573
00:49:52,520 --> 00:50:02,520
You'll just want to share the gospel of Jesus Christ because that's the thing that set you free.

574
00:50:02,520 --> 00:50:05,520
How dare we go to sleep.

575
00:50:05,520 --> 00:50:12,520
How dare we sit in these stinkin' pews that they call them queues.

576
00:50:12,520 --> 00:50:17,520
Because they stink.

577
00:50:17,520 --> 00:50:23,520
It's when we, the children of the Lord, step out of our lukewarmness and say,

578
00:50:23,520 --> 00:50:30,520
baptize us with the fire of the Holy Spirit that something's going to happen beyond anything we can imagine.

579
00:50:30,520 --> 00:50:33,520
It's our choice, you know.

580
00:50:33,520 --> 00:50:36,520
That's when the Lord will cause fire to come down upon us.

581
00:50:36,520 --> 00:50:42,520
He will cause fire to come down just like Elijah said, send the fire. God sent the fire.

582
00:50:42,520 --> 00:50:49,520
When you say, send me the fire, He's going to send you the fire.

583
00:50:49,520 --> 00:50:52,520
When that happens, we must give ourselves over to prayer.

584
00:50:52,520 --> 00:50:56,520
We have to give ourselves over to worship, to kings.

585
00:50:56,520 --> 00:50:59,520
We have to give ourselves over to evangelism.

586
00:50:59,520 --> 00:51:02,520
Don't you ever say evangelism's dead.

587
00:51:02,520 --> 00:51:05,520
Don't you ever let that come out of your mouth again.

588
00:51:05,520 --> 00:51:08,520
You are the evangelist.

589
00:51:08,520 --> 00:51:11,520
You have a message. Share it.

590
00:51:11,520 --> 00:51:16,520
You know what God did for you. Tell people about it.

591
00:51:16,520 --> 00:51:22,520
When we do that, we're going to be surprised at how many people will win in the long run.

592
00:51:22,520 --> 00:51:26,520
Oh, I don't want to disciple. It just takes too much time.

593
00:51:26,520 --> 00:51:29,520
No, you'll do it when you get a glimpse of glory.

594
00:51:29,520 --> 00:51:31,520
Hallelujah.

595
00:51:31,520 --> 00:51:36,520
Hallelujah. You're going to be amazed at how our attenuation changed on the job.

596
00:51:36,520 --> 00:51:40,520
I'm closing here possibly.

597
00:51:40,520 --> 00:51:44,520
I got 20 minutes.

598
00:51:44,520 --> 00:51:49,520
We will be stunned by how the atmosphere shifts in our schools.

599
00:51:49,520 --> 00:51:52,520
Yeah.

600
00:51:52,520 --> 00:51:57,520
You know what our governor had the audacity to pass in Texas?

601
00:51:57,520 --> 00:51:59,520
Prayer went to the schools.

602
00:51:59,520 --> 00:52:01,520
You know what I said to him?

603
00:52:01,520 --> 00:52:04,520
He said all the 10 commandments of every class.

604
00:52:04,520 --> 00:52:14,520
Texas is the main state in the junior.

605
00:52:14,520 --> 00:52:16,520
We're going to see it pass.

606
00:52:16,520 --> 00:52:22,520
He also passed the law something about abortion. What was that thing?

607
00:52:22,520 --> 00:52:28,520
He literally passed the law saying that it was illegal in the state.

608
00:52:28,520 --> 00:52:30,520
Hallelujah.

609
00:52:30,520 --> 00:52:32,520
Hallelujah.

610
00:52:32,520 --> 00:52:36,520
He's an autostatic.

611
00:52:36,520 --> 00:52:38,520
He's a Christian.

612
00:52:38,520 --> 00:52:41,520
He's a man after God's order.

613
00:52:41,520 --> 00:52:46,520
We're going to see that happen in the state after state.

614
00:52:46,520 --> 00:52:49,520
Yeah, I'm GF Orc.

615
00:52:49,520 --> 00:52:51,520
Yes.

616
00:52:51,520 --> 00:52:56,520
We're going to be shocked how these spiritual tipping children are like this.

617
00:52:56,520 --> 00:53:00,520
It's going to be getting transformed into our homes.

618
00:53:00,520 --> 00:53:03,520
Husbands, if you ever watched this message,

619
00:53:03,520 --> 00:53:11,520
the wives that you have are husbands that are not safe in that type of a place.

620
00:53:11,520 --> 00:53:13,520
Watch what he does.

621
00:53:13,520 --> 00:53:15,520
He's created.

622
00:53:15,520 --> 00:53:18,520
He'll create something out of messing.

623
00:53:18,520 --> 00:53:22,520
Or he'll create a mess and then create magnificence.

624
00:53:22,520 --> 00:53:26,520
That's our Holy Spirit. That's how He operates.
