Born Along the Way

If you have your Bibles, turn with me to the book of Joshua chapter five, the book of Joshua chapter five, verse number five, if you would stand for the reading of the word of the Lord. The Bible says, now all the people that came out were circumcised, but all the people that were born in the wilderness, by the way, as they came forth out of Egypt, them they had not circumcised. For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness to all the people that were men of war, which came out of Egypt were consumed, because they obeyed not the voice of the Lord, unto whom the Lord swore that he would not show them the land which the Lord swore unto their fathers, that he would give us a land from that floweth with milk and honey, and their children whom he raised up in their stead. Them Joshua circumcised, for they were uncircumcised, because they had not circumcised them by the way. I want to preach to you on this subject for the next few moments, born along the way. Would you lift your hands and would you ask that God would be with us? Lord, I love you, anoint me from the top of my head to the soles of my feet, God. Let every word that comes out of my mouth, God, be anointed and ordained by you. Speak to my generation tonight.

Speak to my peers tonight. Speak through me to my peers tonight. Use me for the purpose of the kingdom. Let thy kingdom come and let thy will be done in this earth, as it is in heaven. I take dominion by the authority of the name of Jesus over anything that would be a hindrance, and let the signs confirm the word following. Let everybody shout in Jesus' name. You may be seated. Those that were born along the way, we understand that there was a group that had the opportunity to possess, but chose fear over faith. Through that decision it caused forty years of wondering. This wondering produced children that were born along the way. They were born in a season of process. These were the sons and daughters that did not see the waters of the Red Sea rollback, but they heard about it. These were the sons and daughters that did not witness the ten plagues that ravaged Egypt, but they heard about it. Nevertheless, on the journey of wondering, this generation was born along the way. They did not see the mighty acts that God performed by the hand of His majesty in the delivering power of Egypt, but instead they buried their fathers and mothers because they were born along the way. Yet they knew one day, as my uncle preached last night, that finally promise and time were going to intersect with provision. These that were born along the way, maybe a whisper began to arise among the children of Israel. What is my purpose? To always be a wonderer, I was born in wondering. Am I called to live in the wilderness that I have been born in? But I believe that something began to grow within those that were born along the way. I'm meant for more. I've got a destiny. I've got a purpose

on my life. I stand before a very great and powerful generation. I preach to my generation. I preach to my peers. I preach to those of whom I share the responsibility of the end time harvest that is upon our shoulders. We did not see Charles Parham carve this out. We did not see William Seymour carve this out. I did not see G.T. Haywood carve this out. I was born along the way. I was born in the process. My uncle asked me, have you seen J.T. Pugh work? Did you watch how he operated? No, uncle Mark, because I was born along the way. I never got to see Merle Ewing preach because of the times. I never got to witness N.A. Ersin or James Kilgore, and I'd failed to mention many elders that were great, yes. But I stand before you to preach to you because I am you. We were born along the way.

Being born in a wilderness brings a sense of who am I? What is my purpose? What am I supposed to do? The mantra of my generation, the phrase of my generation is, I'm finding myself. I'm figuring it out. You know why? You were born along the way. You were born along the way. But if I may rise to the occasion on Friday night of Youth Quake Slash Wins Conference to tell my peers, as Esther said, you have been brought to the kingdom for such a time as this. You are not meant to be a vagabond. You are not meant to be in wondering. You are not meant to live in the wilderness. But a day has risen. A time is here. We are in our season. We are in our day. We have walked into our promise. Time and promise have intersected. And I'm preaching to you tonight because I am you. We have a call to a harvest.

We have a call to a world. We have a call to a generation. There's a world that's dying. Sit there if you want to. You were born in the process. You were born in the wilderness. But you were meant to possess the land of your fathers. You were meant to walk in the canine. Go to the vine. That's my revival. That's my family. These are my friends. That's my school. This is my P7 club. This is my CMI group. You may have been born along the way. But you're meant for the promise. I wish I had some young people that would get a sense of destiny. You were born along the way. But you're meant for a promise. You were born along the way. But you're meant for a destiny. Oh, if you believe what I'm saying, you ought to let hell know. If you believe what I'm saying, you ought to let hell know. You ought to let every devil in hell know. I've got a promise on my life.

I was born in the wilderness. But I'm not living there. I was born in wonderings. But time and promise have intersected on destiny. And guess what? That's your name. Destiny, your call. Somebody shall be born along the way. Paul said, and the last of all, he was seen of me also as one born out of due time. The men of God prophesied us last night. It's our season. You were born in the process. You were born in the wondering. You were born not seeing the mighty acts, but in the hearing about them. You were born not witnessing the waters roll back. But you heard about it. You were born not seeing the tin plagues. But you heard about it. And I've come tonight to just be a quick reminder to my peers. You may have been born along the way. But you're not meant for the wilderness. You can live there if you want to. I heard a prophetic word come across this pulpit. It's the season of harvest. I'm grabbing my sickle. I'm getting out in my land. I'm gonna be a revivalist. I'm gonna call fire down everywhere I go. I'm gonna do it in Walmart. I'm gonna do it on my school. I'm gonna do it on my property. I don't care where I'm at. I don't care who I'm with. I don't care where I'm going. I may have been born on the journey. But I'm meant for a promise.

I may have been born on the journey. But I'm meant for a promise. I'm almost done. I'm almost done. I'm almost done. You hear me tonight? I wept in my carpet tonight before this service. Because I knew I was preaching to my peers. I'm one of you. I may stand behind this pulpit tonight. I don't deserve it. But I'm one of you, millennial. I'm one of you, generation Z. I'm one of you, and you hear me. You were born along the way. But when the time came and everything that needed to die died out. Maybe that's why God allowed something like the coronavirus to hit so that we could have a gillgall where Joshua sharpened the stones and begin to cut your flesh away. You know why you're uncomfortable? Because your pastor's trying to cut your flesh so he can prepare you for your promise. You know why you're not satisfied in your five minutes of prayer?

Because God's calling you to be a harvester of the end time. You know why you're not satisfied with just fasting a meal? Because you're meant for a promise land. Not for the price of a toulouse. You're not meant to live in wondering. You're not meant to live in the wilderness. Let him cut on you. You're going to Canaan. You're going to see Jericho far. You're going to watch things that our elders said would happen. They told us it would happen. They prophesied it in time and season. My uncle preached about it last night. Stay standing. I'm done. He said time has been doing this. And seasons of prophetic fulfillment are doing this. You were born in this. You don't know what the waters rolling back look like.

I've just heard the stories and I'm thankful I get to live in the stories. But I'm not meant for the stories by the green. I'm meant for a promise land. And you hear me in the Holy Ghost. They said when they got to Gilgal, that's when the reproach of Egypt rolled off of them. When they were willing to be cut on. When they were willing to let themselves lose a little bit of their flesh. I'm in a generation that doesn't want to pay for a promise. You think you deserve it. You think it's owed to you. You think you owed. God don't owe you jack squat. God don't owe me jack squat. You know what you get? A sharpened stone.

So that you can go into a land and get on the vine. And say that's my promise. That's my end time harvest. That's my revival. You were born in the process. But you're meant for a promise. You were born in proper. But you're meant for... Get cut on a little bit. You're going to Canaan. Get cut on a little bit. You don't need another program. You don't need another program. You need the promise to come to pass. You need the glory of the Lord in your prayer closet. I'm talking to me as I'm talking to you because I am you. When I say you, I say me. Hear me. Time has now intersected with the fulfillment of what our fathers were promised.

I've asked God why I wasn't born when GTA Wood was around. Why wasn't I born? When Merle Ewey was imparting into these men. Why didn't I get to watch JTPU? Why didn't I get to watch those men? Because I was meant to be born in the process. Because I'm meant for a promise. And what God intends to do, I have not seen. Ear have not heard. You've got prophetic fulfillment on you. You've got destiny on you. You get out of yourself and get a hold of a passion for souls. Get a hold of a passion for revival. Get a hold of a passion for your pastor. Figure out how to start a P7. Figure out how to start a CMI. Figure out how to start a neighborhood Bible. You hear me. You were born along the way.

But you're meant for Canaan. Somebody shout, I'm meant for Canaan. That's where the promise of the Father is at. Get up off yourself. Get out of your pride. Get out of your ego. Get out of your image. Get out of you. And get into the glory. Let's have revival. Let's have revival. Let's have revival. Let's have revival. Let's have revival. Oh, somebody shout. Like you've never shouted. Results. Like you've never rejoiced. Your promise. Your provision. Your Canaan. Your land. Yours. Millennial. Yours. Millennial. Yours. Millennial. If you realize you're a child of promise and you're a Millennial or Generation X. One of me. One of you. You're meant for the promise. Not for the wilderness. So God called a few things and allowed a few things to happen so that we could get cut on and lose our image and our flesh and lose our ideology on how things are supposed to be. The Bible said they dwelt in the land of Canaan that year before they ever took Jericho. They dwelt in their promise and they learned how to go to the vine and partake of the fruit. This year God's about to send some of you home and he's about to show you how to go into your school and say that's my revival.

He's gonna show some of you how to go into your lost loved ones home or your lost family's home that's my fruit. This is my land. This is what God called me to do so I challenge you as they get ready to sing to throw your hands up and make a Holy Ghost commit it to God right now. I meant for the promise although I was born along the way cut on me Jesus do what you need to do I gotta get into my promise and we gotta have revival. It's over. It's wrapping up. Jesus is coming. Let's get in our promise land and have revival. Throw your hands up and let's magnify the King of Kings.
