tonight that Revival has been given to the Apostolic Church and it is not something that we should beg God for the promise of Revival is sure Joel chapter 2 and verse 28 declares it it shall come to pass afterwards I will pour out my spirit upon All Flesh ladies and gentlemen can I tell you Revival is going to happen is there anybody that believes that the promises of God are sure no matter where you are or what you're going through tell the devil tonight God is going to do it yeah God has already provided the necessary ingredients for Revival we just now have to begin to plug into the flow of the Holy Spirit and begin to become aware of the awesomeness of the god that we serve that he wants to grant us Revival we will witness the miraculous deliverance from sin and Witchcraft and evil spirits freedom from Habits and addiction ladies and gentlemen I am telling you that God wants to do it in this hour but can I tell you tonight the problem with what's happening is based on the fact that the congregation and the key members who are supposed to be making this thing happen have found themselves bound by chains and they have been thrusts in a prison cell that has no bars it is a prison cell that we ourselves cannot break out of and because we cannot break out of our situation God is going to have to break in and when God breaks in we are going to break out and when we break out the world is going to have an unprecedented Revival somebody raised your hand and say Lord break in hear me tonight there must be a cry from the apostolic church for the assistance of God we can no longer come to conferences of this magnitude and do not have great expectation I am telling you what's absent from our services is expectation we have arrived at a day in the Apostolic Church where the only time we are infused is when the music is right we are only driven to the place of worship when things are the way we like it but I say to you whether the music is right or not the very fact of that you need deliverance and for God to break in or to drive you to a place of worship and praise and you ought to tell your neighbor I am not here to impress you I need a breakthrough thank you maybe that's what some of you need to do touch your name and say you need to break up some stuff you see we are so comfortable in just doing what we've always done that we fail to recognize Where We Are but I say to you that when you are pastoring churches that have no power and your families are speaking in tongues but Bound by sin and the members are coming but are always absent he didn't hear me I said they're coming but they're very much absent then it's time for the ministry to say God we've got to have a breakthrough so everybody in this room that would like for God to give you a breakthrough stand upon your feet lift your voice and let hell know I am not playing with you God has got to give me a breakthrough somebody shout break through hear me we talk Revival we preach Revival we sing Revival we worship God for end time Revival but we need to stop talking it we sneak to start declaring it we need to start letting the hell know we believe it it is coming it is here and no matter what you do to this church we will have Revival somebody scream Revival listen to me the devil understands that he cannot abort Joel's prophecy but he can affect the vessels that God has chosen to bring Apostolic Revival through he affects the church by way of imprisonment bondage depression and distress he understands that God's vehicle to transport Revival in this hour is going to come through the church he has been reading and reading and re-reading Matthew 16 18 Upon This Rock I will build my church he has carefully constructed means and ways to disrupt the lives of the people that God wants to use to facilitate this end time Revival marital problems separation divorce verbal physical and mental abuse financial difficulties Church struggles physical ailment immorality habitual sins works of the flesh unbelief and doubt all of the above are used by the devil in an attempt to derail end time Revival but somebody needs to remind hell that there is still another clause attached to that verse and it states the gates of hell shall not Propel against the church so bring on the difficulties bring on the abuse bring on the financial struggles devil at the end of the day the Gates of Hell will not stop this end time Revival come on somebody you need to stand to your feet and declare that the devil we are in a Warfare and we are going to have Revival you will not win you shall not accomplish your agenda no weapon no no that is formed against me touch your neighbors against me shall prosper shall prevail shall be accomplished ladies and gentlemen it will be formed don't get a nervous breakdown over what's being formed hell will always be created something to work against the church but my Bible tells me no matter what he comes up with it will not stop the touch so ladies and gentlemen I could stop right here and we need to have church in this place we are not having Church some of you are too busy murmuring over your problem you need to stand to your feet and tell the devil the Gates of Hell shall not prevail squeeze your neighborhood and say he can't win hear me touch your neighbor and say we're on a journey he will form groups according to acts 16 20-24 and the magistrates brought them before the Jews and said they exceedingly troubled our city in verse 21 they State they teach Customs which are not lawful for us to receive in verse 22 the Bible said the multitude wrote up Rose up against them and the magistrate rent off their clothes and commanded that they were to be beaten verse 23 tells us they laid many stripes upon them and cast them in prison verse 24 say haven't received such a charge thrust them into the inner prison and made their feet fast in stock somewhere in the middle of the night Paul Silas decided we might as well do something with all this free time maybe the reason why God has brought you to the place where you're uncomfortable with is that you might perfect your prayer life maybe he doesn't like that well rehearsed pretty prayer Maybe that prayer is not moving hell yeah much less God so maybe touch your neighbor said just maybe squeeze your neighborhood and say just maybe God brought you where you are so you could perfect your prayers because I'm telling you it's not until we get in trouble that we really start praying but hear me before we can understand and appreciate the demonstration of God's power to deliver Paul and Silas we must carefully examine why they were beaten and thrust in the in a prison because hear me church we will never understand our prisons until we know what got the devil so inflamed against us all right what made hell so upset they had preached in other places before they had ministered to other people before what would cause hell to become so upset we will never fully understand and appreciate why God delivered Paul and Silas except we stop study and digest carefully what really was at stake and when we understand what was at stake then we will understand what is at stake now squeeze your neighborhood and say don't rush that preacher because I want you to understand there was something at stake why hell decided to turn our entire city against them you see they were thrust in prison because their sermons weren't pretty but they were effective they walked into Lydia's town and began to teach a Bible study and Lydia believed with all of her heart that she brought her entire family to the Bible study table and before you know it they will all converted and they all were baptized ladies and gentlemen the devil doesn't get upset when we're having pretty talk hell gets upset with people's lives are being changed somebody shout away with pretty sermons start preaching what upsets hell yeah sir you start changing lives you start winning people to Christ you start bringing people to the ways of the Bible hell becomes upset and then on top of converting normal people they reach over into a man's livelihood who seduces a particular young lady by way of spirits of divination to the fact that when she started following them she's chanting words that she don't even know what she's saying these are men of God these are Servants of the most high God Paul looked at her and commanded the spirit to come out of her and when the spirit obeyed I said when the spirit obeyed when the spirit obeyed we've got to get to the place that what we say the spirits begin to do hear me we need to talk to the spirits that are keeping keep about we don't need to be trying to justify why people do things we need to address the foundation of the problem he addressed not her but the spirit in her and he told the spirit in her come out of her and the Bible said the Spirit came out of her that same hour This Man became increasingly upset came to the magistrates brought them to the marketplace brought them before the rulers of the city and said these men are troubling the city they're teaching customs which are not lawful they are bringing harm to the citizens therefore let's put them in person let's put chains upon their feet let's chain their hands let's incarcerate them in a cell and let's see if they're God or their message and deliver them and and I and I can understand this picture it's before me it's clear but what I don't understand are Christians who seemingly are free but bound mentally what I don't understand is that hell allows us to come to conferences like these and it's not intimidated by your attendance but understands that he has done such a good job in incarcerating US that come into because of the times doesn't scare him because long before you got here he Disturbed your spirit he calls somebody in your church to offend you he cause a marital problem to get out of control he calls the child somebody close to you to fall into gross Darkness he's not in conference like this because love before he got you he locked up your mind sealed your spirit and placed you in spiritual captivity so it doesn't concern him whether you're here or not he understands God will get no glory the church will not have Revival there will be no praise coming from the lips of these people because their mind is so emotionally disturbed that no matter who sings no matter who preaches no matter how incredible the message is they're thinking is in captivity so stand before them and prophesy I speak Words of Life to them they cannot digest it they're too busy trying to figure out the next move they're too busy thinking about what am I facing when I go home how am I gonna recover from this devastation and so the call to worship goes forward the hands are free but they cannot clap their feet are free but they cannot stand for anything they they know what to do but they cannot do it ladies and gentlemen hell understands the game he is the master of disruption you can look real good in your outfit and we can all dress wonderful and be a tired appropriately but hell does not get nervous because we are appropriate we can Revel and our Revelation all we want and we can talk about who we are all we want but guess what he understands at the end of the day and at the end of the conference I still win because my strategy back then worked but my strategy today is even greater now I have perfective bondage to the place where I don't even need bars I have perfect Ed to the place where I don't even have to fast their feet in stock got to do is disrupt this thing that he calls the church I I can't mess with the programs but I can certainly disrupt the lives of those that he says he's going to build his church on Revival is Promised yes and the church will be built but in what condition will be the lives of the people that build it so we sit here and if you'd pardon my expression we are so hypocritical as to where we are and we are looking at each other and how we dress how we carry ourselves and even now we answer each other we tend to tell each other all is well and so to call for prayer goes forward and we can barely raise our hands pray sincere prayers the call to worship goes forward and the music and we leave night after night and we say wow what a breakthrough but we went home last year and Hell continued to rain and we went home the year before and we found more crisis that we could handle and year after year service after service conference after conference there seems to be no relief in sight and ladies and gentlemen if you cannot break out of your situation God said enough is enough since you can't get out of the mess that hell has took you in I am going to have to break in since you can't pray your way out thing your way out I I am at least going to give you the tools you need to invite me in because you can't get out by yourself but you can at least invite me in because whereas the bars and the chains restrict you ladies and gentlemen my God is no respecter of bars or chains yes and so since you can't break out why don't you let me break in everybody raise your hand and say Lord break in Lord everybody raise your hand and say Lord break in break into my family break into my church break it into my financial situation break in somebody stand to your feet and tell the devil if I can't break out that God is gone the break-in somebody scream breaking hear me you're gonna have to get to the place where you're sick and tired of being sick you're sick and tired of being broke you're sick and tired of being depressed and stressed out and overly concerned about situations you're gonna have to let hell know this thing cannot be handled by me alone I need a greater power to assist me is there anybody in this room that can stand to your feet and confess I need help is there anybody that needs God's help I'm telling you there is a God that wants to help us tonight tonight somebody screamed tonight in this service squeeze your neighborhood is in this service I'm not leaving the same way I came I'm not going home to the same situation my mindset has got to change my thinking has to change my vision and my perspective of God and my Ministry must change deny somebody scream tonight you hear me some of you need to get real radical in this place you you you need to tell hell you know you've been letting me play around with prayer but devil I'm about to pray some prayers it's gonna blow your mind I'm tired of praying Anthony mangan's prayer I I'm praying the bishop prayer I need some prayers for myself the Apostle Paul how about me is there anybody that wants to pray some real prayers in this place oh and Silas pray we can talk about prayer all we want but we do not believe in the power of Prayer hear me if you really believed what you were preaching then why aren't the chains that are invisible leaving you why aren't the bars falling over why isn't there greater access into God's Deliverance why Sunday after Sunday we continually struggle with the same issues which are called by my name would humble themselves you you can't even begin to pray until you step out of Pride and put on the shoes of humility we want to pray looking cute we want to pray in our arrogancy and looking proud we want everybody to be impressed with our words but not with our sincerity those kind of parents don't Shake hell but if somebody would get out of their seat and let the devil know you haven't begun to hear prayers yet because I'm going to pray until all of hell is shaken is anybody hearing what I'm saying has anybody wanted to get up and just pray listen to me stand to your feet you see these couldn't stand I can understand their lack of participation because their their visible perspective has been altered they are restrained I don't understand what's keeping you from praying we hear messages on prayer we have written many of songs about prayer we know how to recite prayers but when will we pray everybody close your eyes raise your hand and say Jesus that's the first problem some of you didn't even close your eyes you're getting ready to summons the power that is higher than any other power you're not calling on Muhammad you're calling on the power that is greater than any other power you're wanting that power to show up in this room and do something right now did you hear me squeeze your neighbors and right now you're believing that the next time you call on his name something is going to happen in the atmosphere some change is gonna be broken something is going to be lifted are you ready to say his name call him by his name say it again say it say it again say it again demons sickness tremble and the name of Jesus say it again to raise your hand and call on his name again say it again say it again spirits are walking out devils are being taken off some of you depression is leading itself has just walked out the door does anybody believe what I'm saying that there's power in the name of Jesus say it again listen listen to me we we want gimmicks we want some guy to tell us well it's got we got Miracle Water we have special oil and if we're not careful some of us are thinking maybe that works and so we're selling water and we don't even know where it came from and we are causing our congregants to have faith in a substance that you yourself doubt but if you can lift their fate to believe in that why can't you lift your faith to believe in Jesus so I'm gonna say it again brother chapani and I want to know is anybody in this room believe that demons sickness depression frustration marital issues begin to tremble at the very name of Jesus if you believe that then raise your hands and call undone that is more powerful than any other name screaming out say it out call that name and in the name of Jesus I prophesy that chains are being broken and sickness has to leave and marital issues are being solved and there is going to be Revival raise your neighbor hand and Shout Jesus foreign increasingly upset because yes I have chains yes I am behind visible bars yes I have emotional scars I got issues marital situations financial difficulties yes I have them ever the one thing you did not do to me was a strict my mouth from calling on the name of Jesus so irregardless of how you feel tonight whether your legs are heavy or your hands are heavy or your heart is heavy can you lift up your mouth and pull on the knife of Jesus open your mouth lift your mind go let the name of Jesus I'm all screaming come on screaming come on screaming come on streaming come on screaming come on screaming come on come on no matter what you're going through no matter what you're facing no matter what kill has done to you scream it out scream it out scream it out there's Deliverance there's healing there is salvation there is going to be a breakthrough foreign at The Darkest Hour of your situation can you at least lift your voice on this Wednesday night in this day brother Williams in this day as bad as it is as dark as it is can you at least call on the name of Jesus I can't hear you some of you are thinking brother Mitchell move on I can't move on there's nothing to move on to the only way we're going to be delivered is calling on the name of Jesus foreign you can't sing until you pray and we are maximizing singing and minimizing prayer I think it's sister that said it okay choir after the 15th time I've got it wasn't that you he was you and then you turn around and kiss them thought I forgot but guess what folks we'll sing it brother Libby and we'll sing it and we'll keep singing it and we're okay with singing but if I keep telling you calling the name of Jesus after around the second time some of you say I'm bored yeah I don't feel nothing I don't think that's working well I'm bored with your songs too sometimes I don't feel nothing and sometimes the music is too loud and sometimes the words just don't work oops sorry but every time I say Jesus something is beginning to happen it might not be visible but something is happening every time I say Jesus I'm not a devil just walk out another Spirit just walk out another devil just Ray somebody scream good night of Jesus demons are criminals hell it's tumbling sickness it's trembling is there anybody that wants healing then don't stop saying the name of Jesus Jesus Jesus Jesus Jesus Jesus Jesus there's one running there's one waving there's one jumping there's one hand up in the air anybody else see what I'm feeling that needs change I'll snap in spirit I'm walking away death out have to lose their hole on you listen to me Paul and Silas prayed the modern day Church laughs gabri we can preach we can see we know how to study but we can't pray how we get bored and turned off if anybody repeats the name too often oh we become uncomfortable and we say man why don't brother Mitchell move on but what are you going to move on to you can't sing until you pray because prayer releases the song and ladies and gentlemen we are singing words but we don't have meaning to them because the songs that we're singing today who are they speaking about and does it testify as to the greatness of our God what is the song you started singing he brought me out of the my reclaim yeah you know how long since I've heard that song some of you don't even know the words to those are he set my feet upon a rock to stand he put us all in my soul today I saw love pray Hallelujah but before you get the saw and before you perfect the praise you better work on the prayer because a prayerless church is going to sing an empty song and then we wonder why we can't feel nothing why there's no joy in what we're doing why we got to depend on the screen to give us direction as to how to feel maybe the song is not a song of Deliverance it's just one of hype we're talking about free dumb when you're not free a lick until you pray and invoke the blood you can't sing about Freedom I'm not knocking the choir I'm not knocking the song I'm just trying to make a point you can't sing about freedom and mean it until your prayer has given you a breakthrough after you get the Breakthrough and the chains are off then you can talk about freedom but squeeze the neighborhood and say until then hold the freedom work on the prayer Paul and Silas pray sit down and after they pray they started seeing see touch your neighbor say they got a song they found a song and it wasn't a song that promotes a pity party or what they're going through or what the devil has done to them it was a song of Victory it was a song of Joy it was a song of overcoming so Paul said I feel a song coming on Silas me too feel a song Mr evangelist yes yes even though my feet are in Chains I got me a little beat here Silas something you need to tell the devil I'm still behind bars I'm emotionally messed up but I feel a beat coming on and all I need is a bit I might not be out of my chains yet but somebody's fixing to break in all I gotta do is just get the rumbling started because once God hears the rumbling he's going to follow up with an earthquake but I gotta start the rumble it is there anybody that wants to get up out of there see I said I want to start me a little bit of ramen I might not need a perfecta up the earthquake but God is gonna do it uh-huh where's my musician at squeeze your neighbor hell it's a neighbor let's get ready to rumble got a song let me hear yourself I can't sing good but I didn't ask you to sing good you're not auditioning for the choir we're not trying to get you a Grammy or an Oscar we just want you to sing a song of Victory that's the problem with some of it you think you're trying out for heaven's Choir This is not an audition this is a song of victory pick up your Camry so forget about it you can't say yeah Jesus thank God you're not trying out for heaven's choir what about you Charlie I I got a praise I got a praise and I gotta get it out I gotta pray yeah I I got a praise I got a praise and I gotta get it out I gotta pray but wait a minute you're in prison you're still bound you still got financial problems what are you talking about praise after I pray I got a right to praise touch your name as a neighbor Mr I pray not after the bars are gone not after the change of God but after I have because I believe when I pray that Deliverance is on the way uh-huh squeeze your neighborhood and say neighbor it's on its way I said it's on its way I said it's on its way it's right about here and until it gets here I'm gonna break out and keep saying ah I got no pleaser I got a praise and now to get it on I gotta pray can I hear some musician here come on everybody I can't hear you come on yeah then the Bible said after the prayer and the song suddenly suddenly finally finally right now I can't hear you suddenly the foundation of the prison broke up say neighbor my God you're free you're here you're delivered what you gonna do next what are you gonna do foreign now hang on a second touch your name as a neighbor that is your response to God breaking him now squeeze the neighborhood as a neighbor no wonder why you're still down stop stop stop stop stop people I don't mean to offend you is that the best you can do after God breaks in heals you of cancer heal you of diabetes fixing your financial problem and that's the best you can do take your name up out of him and say neighbor I'm gonna help you I'm gonna help you I'm here the car delivers you from take you out it's not the best you can do where's your worship where is your glory it's not the best you people can do come on everybody is that the best you can do is that the best you can do it is foreign pastor it it wasn't just that chains we're gone and the bars were destroyed but somebody fine every door the Bible said and the doors were hoping ladies and gentlemen if the chains are gone and the bars are no more and the door is open what are you doing sitting by the river of Babylon squeeze your neighborhood as a neighbor look at that point it's your miracle the door is open look at that door Paul healing it's all good look at that door all Deliverance the doors are open the door of yourself get yourself for the doors get yourself to the doors get yourself come on quiet get your shout the doors are open the doors are open the doors are open foreign come on say neighbor God broken so that you could break out but your Breakout is not for you to drift see that's the problem I told you before we have to study why God delivered them folks the Deliverance was not given so that you could find your dance the Deliverance was not given so you could go claim your financial blessing the Deliverance was not granted to you so you can hastily walk through every door where's my Paul and Silas said the keeper of the prison I said we're getting ready to walk out saw them leaving and the keeper said wait a minute where are you going I'm the reason for your imprisonment and I understand that you were in my church and I probably brutalized you and beat you corned you and mocked your God and your worship but since he broke in and broke you out this thing is not complete if I don't get my breakthrough because you see the reason why God broke in was because he needed you to find somebody to get a breakthrough and the danger that many of us has fallen into his God is picking up the broken pieces of Our Lives our messed up homes and our marriages our finances and our church and he's putting us back together not so other people might label you a success he said the only reason why I broke you out is because there's a world out there that needs a breakthrough the only reason why God is going to help the Apostolic Church and the United Pentecostal Church that's been scorned for its standards and put down for our doctrinal stand and criticize for what we believe because God is saying the only way the world will turn its eyes towards you is except they see that I gave you a breakthrough is except they see that I broke into your life put your marriage back together put your messed up life back in order repair the damage that hell did to your church and your District so that somebody who's been watch ing what somebody that was in charge of you finally say what about me and so Paul could have ran through every door Silas could have ran through all the doors but they turned back to the keeper and said listen do thyself no harm because we're still here the greatest miracle is not in the break-in it's not in the suddenly it's in the Breakthrough it can shout all we want but it means nothing if it doesn't lead us to a Revival if at the end of the day the apostolic church does not have Revival it not God's fault I'm telling you with all the mess that hell has created and all the disruption that he's brought to the church all of this is to prevent us from heaven in time Revival but God told the preacher in Brooklyn I'm going to break into your life I'm going to break you out of your situation Anita Schumer Senator Kevin Parker Mayor Bloomberg and an entire city needs a breakthrough I'm not rescuing you so you can become famous breaking in the can you hear me tonight when he breaks into your broken life find out why he broke in and when he tells you why he broke in then go do what he bits you to do every person under the sound of my voice feels like I need God to break in preacher I didn't get with you I didn't shout the name of Jesus I I couldn't find a song because emotionally I messed up psychologically a wreck everything that could be shaken is not only shaken but broke I can't leave out of here without my breakthrough I need God to really break in I believe not to everybody so clearly out but but if you're a man or a woman or a pastor and his wife a bus Ministry driver Sunday school teacher an evangelist and somehow hell has incarcerated you in a lifestyle that is not becoming of Christians and your ministry is in captivity and you know where you are because listen to me when I started this message I asked you one question what's worse people that know that they're incarcerated are individuals that are coming to church and don't even know where they are so raise your neighborhood and say neighbor come on raise your neighborhood and say neighbor do you know where you are now anybody honest enough Bishop Bishop Haney would you come sir anybody honest enough to want to fall at the bishop feet say man of God Instagram wait for me to come back raise your hands and praise him everybody oh Jesus oh Jesus I I don't want any movement it's just find myself a particular place preacher this is the second night of the conference I need God to break in some man of God with the authority of Heaven to lay his hands upon my head cause God God help me to break into my world if that's what you need then conform this line push pride aside come form this line straight back straight back one line it's not for everybody sad to say it's not for everybody but it's for people that are sick and tired sitting in seats and are restricted by bondage and of loss their praise I wonder if the general board if I could respectfully ask you to come but the Morgan but the Mangan District superintendents I wonder if you'd come I feel the Holy Ghost saying there's healing in this house I want to break into your world sir I want to break into the broken fragments of your ministry I want to help you to be made whole a bruise Reed will I not break smoking flax will I not quench I wonder if they could just reach down and lay hands walk down and come and lay hands on every man and woman of God that will dare to come in this life because I hear God saying I want to break in maybe on this side we can form another line yeah let's form another line on this side brother Morgan why don't you reach across to that side how about some of you in the balcony is your bondage so great that the journey is too great anybody else on this side that want to say God I need you to break in how about on the choir anybody want God to break in how about turning around to each other and praying one for the other just turn to each other and pray and ask God when you break into our lives would you break into our ministry because we need a breakthrough we need a breakthrough it's another level he's trying to take us through another level I challenge you as preachers I challenge you I challenge you foreign take this message home and minister to your church you need to get a breakthrough a breakthrough a breakthrough come on raise your hands all across this building foreign to the back of the line you keep your hands upstretch somebody's gonna get to you somebody's gonna find you some man of God is gonna lay hands on you maybe in the balcony why don't you turn to each other and begin to minister one to the other and ask God to break in ask God to break in thank you that's gone to break here he's not finishing come on turn to
