The When and Why Behind Hell's Harassment

Hallelujah can we clap our hands and give the Lord a big hand clap of Praise In This Place come on don't you like what you feel in the house of the Lord right now I was glad when they said unto me let us go to marville Tennessee somebody shout amen grab your Bibles while you remain standing I am so thankful for both the voice and the vision of Pastor Kenny Carpenter and what a phenomenal word we just heard such an honor to be here his great family this great church sister Lauren Hammond handed me a note right before church and asked me if I would read this before I got too far into my message so I want to honor that if I can read a writing said the views that are about to be expressed are not those of the Carpenters or any family affiliation f a a o JC UPC TBN HGTV NBC or Jimmy Swagger Sun lifee broadcasting network so I guess she was a little worried at how this might go great to have my wife my daughter my son-in-law with me and some of the best people in the world that I get the privilege of pastoring here tonight some of our young ministers are here tonight and I think three out of four of those are single and looking so uh there's just one requirement you're coming to Florida we're not coming anywhere else so John chapter number 10 I'm going to mess up the preaching rule I'm going to kind of read from all over John chapter 10 1 Peter chapter 5 revelation 12 Daniel 7 I do a couple other housekeeping rules to all of our UPC Brethren brother Bernard text me I guess he was watching and he said he just wanted me to clear up that when brother Carpenter said television he meant iPad iPhone computer or other device of such so I just wanted to honor those words there what a beautiful building brother and sister Carpenter thank you for representing the apostolic church I get the privilege of allowing this man to Shepherd my family and I appreciate that so very very much we also know that you have many choices when looking for a place to get covid we're thankful you chose to get it here with us that was from the CDC so I think we've got everything situated here I see my book didn't get mentioned or didn't get endorsed and that's fine Donovan's did but mine didn't that's fine I'm just trying to fill it home for a little bit I did get encouraged I wrote this down that convicts make converts and that's going to be great in Gainesville cuz we got a lot of convicts there and so we're excited about that John chap 10: 10 the thief cometh not but for to steal kill and destroy that's his job description that's what he does it's foolish for us to get mad at him for doing his job that's what he does 1 Peter 5 and8 be sober be vigilant because your adversary the devil as a roaring lion walketh about seeking whom he may devour Revelation 12 12: 12 therefore Rejoice ye Heavens ye that dwell in them but woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea for the devil has come down unto you having great wrath because he knoweth he hath but a short time Daniel said in chapter 7: 25 he shall speak great words against the most high and shall wear out the Saints I want to try to help us tonight I want to want to try to build on what brother the carpenter began and I want to try to encourage somebody and I want to want to help somebody maybe make some sense of the mess that you've been going through cuz some of you if you were to testify tonight you'd admit that you and your family been on the receiving end of every attack from hell that seems possible possible so tonight my assignment is this the when and why behind hil's harassment if you're going to help me preach for less than two hours shout amen God bless you you may be seated the word harass is defined as subject to aggressive pressure or int intimidation here's another definition to make repeated smallscale attacks we live in a world where people are physically emotionally and sexually harassed more times than we care to think whether it be a pervert on the job a bully at school or an abusive spouse at home harassment comes in many shapes sizes and situations and quite frankly anyone can fit the description of one who harasses it could be someone that's unknown or unnamed or someone as popular as a politician or president an actor or celebrity or even the friendly face on The Daily national news you just never know where and with whom harassment might come from and it is quite possible in an audience of this size that that some in this room have been on the receiv receiving end of this horrible and heinous act of harassment but without doubt everyone of us and when I say everyone I literally mean every one of us we have all been on the harassing end of the enemy of our soul we have been the subject of his aggressive pressure and intimidation we have endured and that's the key word endured but we have endured many and repeated small and large scale attacks so let's just take the last two years if we can the devil has used every means possible to put aggressive pressure on the church that's two years ago this month everything changed it would be an understatement to say that through covid the enemy and the government and sadly even some Saints have tried to intimidate the church put pressure on the church and quite frankly shut down the church it appears that we have been under great attack and even though the devil can't win he will be satisfied if he can just harass us to the point of frustration fatigue and eventually failure the spirit of the Antichrist is to wear out the Saints of the most high Peter makes it very clear that the devil is our adversary he is like a roaring line he's he's full of noise and nuisance manipulation and Malice he's walking moving seeking anyone that he can harass destroy and devour as the serpent he deceives but as the lion Satan devours and whether you're being deceived or being devoured his harassment is definite and it seems unmatched and at times unbearable but tonight at the beginning of the movement we're going to have a revelation behind the wind and the why of Hell's harassment over your ministry over your church and over your family and when we do God is going to breathe life back into your ministry God's going to allow Faith to begin to pump back in your soul and when we turn the lights off on Thursday night we're leaving maraville with a renewed strength to fight the good fight of F I believe with all my heart something Supernatural is going to happen in this place this week that's going to change the course and the trajectory of your ministry of your calling and of your church if you believe that you ought to clap your hands and Shout yes and the word Satan means adversary the word devil means accuser and so you can sit there and act like everything is okay that's fine you won't be the first person to ever lie in church you won't be the first person to ever come to a conference and pretend you won't be the first person the first Pentecost Will Be Too Proud to let God help but I know what I felt in the Holy Ghost and the devil's been harassing some of you and you have felt that pressure and that constant intimidation and those repeated attacks on you and your family and your calling and your anointing and your church and you're scared to admit that because you don't want anybody to mislabel you to misjudge you and quite frankly to misunderstand you but even that attitude is part of the harassment you see a victim of physical or sexual harassment must have boldness to come forward now listen but usually when that one person comes forward many more will follow the words me too were first expressed in 2006 a lady by the name of torana Burke wrote those words on her listen to this my space page it later would become known as the hash Meo movement yeah it began as the courage of one person to Simply say he messed with me too he harassed me too I've been through what you've been through too it was her way of joining her voice with so many more to let them know you are not alone in this fight one of the problems in Pentecost is a simple fact that we try to act like everything is always perfect but if I just had one that would admit the devil has attacked me too he has tempted me too he's been pulling all the stops out on me too if we just had one admit I've been in a battle because if one could quit trying to act too holy and admit that he has harassed you then maybe somebody else would have the courage to stand up and say well if if it's happening to you I just want to testify the devil's also been after me and maybe that Spirit of guilt and condemnation would leave and a spirit of Revelation and freedom would sweep in this room for where the spirit of the Lord is there is freedom I believe something can happen in this place tonight and we can walk out here letting the enemy know you have harassed me long enough you have abused me long enough you've taken advantage of me for the L no weapon formed against me shall prosper and if God be for us somebody ought to shout who can be against us the last thing we need in this day is an intimidated embarrassed weak limp wristed Church uh we need boldness to baptize the Apostolic Church like never before let's start a move movement of boldness somebody shout boldness boldness the book of Acts contains the word boldness more than any other book in the Bible which teaches me that if we're going to be a book of Acts church then we must be a bold Church this week we just need one to get some boldness because if one will then I believe there will be a movement I believe there will be many more that will rise up and say enough we can either give into their threatenings or we can get some boldness and make up our mind greater is he that's in us than any Old Devil that's in the world the wind and the wine behind hell's harassment the reason why distractions have been abundant the reason why confusion is on the rise the reason why compromise looks enticing the reason why Holiness to some look like looks like bondage the reason the enemy is attacking the way he is is because we are on the precipice of God doing something great Supernatural the former and the latter rang together and when the devil knows he has but a short time he comes down with all of his wrath that's the wind and that's the why but we are not to be ignorant of the devil's devices the devil always attacks at or near the season of harvest and I prophetically declare to the apostolic church it's harvest time it's time for Revival it's time for growth it's time to plant some Churches it's time to grow our churches it's time to give to missions it's time to unite that's why hell is attacking that's why hell is a harassing that's why hell is messing with you he's trying to distract you from the Harvest look at your neighbor and say it's starting to make a little sense Ephesians 6:11 notice this Ephesians 6:11 put on put on the whole armor of God that you may be able to stand against the Ws of the devil everybody sh stand Ephesians chapter skip down verse 133 Ephesians chapter 6 wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God that you may be able to withstand somebody shout withstand and in that evil day done done all to stand verse 14 stand therefore somebody shall stand so in verse 11 you stand in verse 13 you withstand in verse 14 you stand again unless we stand we can can never withstand unless we first stand then we can never withstand let me take it a little deeper according to Matthew CH 22:34 chap 26: 64 Mark 12:36 chap 14:62 chapter 16: 19 Luke 20: 42 and chapter 22: 69 it plainly says that Jesus is sitting on the right hand of God somebody shout sitting but in the book of Acts when hail started harassing the church something shifted in the heavenlies stepen is being killed he's being martyred he's being stoned and this is what it says in Acts 7:55 but he Stephen being full of the Holy Ghost and I just stopped today and wrote this down oh God let it be sad when we're being persecuted that we're still full of the Holy Ghost when people are lying on me Let It Be said that I'm still full of the Holy Ghost when I'm going through a tough time let it be said that I'm still full of the Holy Ghost and he being full of the Holy Ghost looked up into heaven and saw the glory of God and Jesus standing on the right hand of God when hell started harassing Heaven started standing I want to preach to you tonight and tell you that you don't have to be ashamed of the attack that you've been under that's what's going to get Jesus to stand up on your behalf there's going to be a shift this week and if Jesus is standing for you in heaven the least you can do is stand for him on Earth this is not a time for the church to sit this is not a time for the church to get comfortable this is not a time to find a basement and hide and twiddle our thumbs the devil is AE up on this rock I will build my church and the Gates of Hell shall not I wish somebody lift up a shout in this place right now I hear the words of that song running through my head right now get up get up get up get up out of that grave uh get up get up get up uh this is a time to stand that's why hail's been harassing you uh because he's trying to keep you down because this is our season this is our opportunity this is our time this ain't the alj alj I can't even say it brother Carpenter they taught me not to even say it this ain't the aljc time uh this ain't the upc's time uh this is the kingdom of God's I feel a standing up spirit in this house right now I feel like get up and let's fight another day spirit in this house right now Rejoice not against me oh my enemy when I fall I shall arrive come on worship God for a few minutes right here he's trying to keep you down he's trying to make you think you've missed it but I've come to tell you if we could understand the wind and the why of Hell's harassment it won't discourage us it will Empower us and the church said amen I don't want to be a hypocrite but you can be seated when Nebuchadnezzar began to harass God's people and when everybody else bowed to the music and the mandates of their day three Hebrew boys stood and when they did God came and stood with them and the testimony was I see four men walking you can't start a movement if you're not willing to stand you can't walk if you're sitting you got to stand to walk my God why sit we here until we die it's time for the church to stand up we've been harassed long enough we've got the power of God working through us we don't have to be intimidated we don't have to be pushed back in a corner somewhere we've been pushed down long enough we've been abused long enough we've been intimidated long it's time to stand having done all to stand stand therefore there are three areas that I want to highlight tonight where I feel like the devil I'm sure there's more but I'm just going to hit three where the devil has Unleashed his harassment on the body of Christ he has attacked our prayer he has harassed our praise and he has persecuted the promises that God has given us prayer praise and promise let me show you what I mean Paul was on his way to a prayer meeting in the book of Acts trying to accomplish what God needed and wanted accomplished and there was an evil spirit that followed them harassed them mocked them for days for days acts 16 verse 16 came to pass as we went to prayer a certain damel possessed with the spirit of divination met us and brought which brought her Masters much gain by suing and the same followed Paul and US cried saying these men are the Servants of the most high God which show unto us the way of Salvation and she did this many days but Paul being grieved now if you look up the word grieved in the Greek it comes from a Greek word which is pronounced ticked off O So to read that in the original and Paul being ticked off oh I've got a book on Greek and Hebrew in the foury year it'll be for sale I could help you with that I didn't get my book announced I didn't get the fancy microphone I got a hold a microphone Bishop got a fancy microphone that's fine hey when you UPC you just happy to be at Taj Mahal you know anytime you get an invitation to the Vatican you just come and take it they could have gave me a corded mic and I'd have still been here was that all you wanted me to say brother Carpenter the enemy was trying to harass them he got grieved in his spirit and he turned to the spirit and said I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ come out of her and he came out that same hour they were on their way to prayer the devil is still trying to distract us from prayer because prayer is the fuel for Faith prayer is the source of the supernatural If my people which are called by my name shall humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their w Wicked Ways then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land and Jesus summed it up so good that no commentary is needed when he said in Matthew chapter 21 my house shall be called The House of Prayer no wonder the enemy is trying to harass us no wonder the devil is trying to hinder our prayer life no wonder our flesh finds excuses after excuses to keep us from the prayer closet because if he can harass us from prayer he can keep us separated from power and it came to pass acts 16:16 as he went to prayer a certain damsel now I want you to notice who the devil attacked he he attached himself he possessed a damsel a young person a young lady in this instance or if I could say it like this and piggyback off of Bishop Carpenter he attacked the Next Generation there is a spirit that's trying to get on the next generation of preachers and I want to publicly thank brother Carpenter for preaching and saying some of the things he said because every young preacher needs to hear that stuff heralded from a pull pit there's a spirit trying to get on the next generation of preachers and ministers and missionaries and worship leaders that if we're not careful it will possess you and you would be hard pressed to convince me that she was not saying the right stuff cuz there is nothing derog atory about what she said that was untruthful about what she said but the spirit in which she said it and there is a spirit trying to get a hold of a generation where you might be saying the right stuff and you can't nobody really put their finger on anything but there's a spirit and Paul could have ignored it he did for a couple of days and then he got ticked off of but if he would have ignored it he'd have kept the Next Generation in bondage there are spirits that's trying to destroy this next Generation that we cannot afford to ignore spirit and ideology such as ability is equal to anointing or Talent is on the same level as truth or presentation is as important as prayer or Tick Tock I was going to try to be cool and I'm not and all that other Social Media stuff is more important than a home Bible study those spirits will destroy the Next Generation and while we're marching to prayer meeting there is a spirit of harassment that's trying to destroy the Next Generation from putting the value that they need to put on Consecration and prayer and sacrifice for the kingdom of God the Bible says she had a spirit of divination the word divination there come now for real now this is a real Greek word okay I don't know if you call it on the other one wasn't this one is follow me the word divination there comes from a Greek word and that Greek word is spelled p y t ho n p y t h o n python yes like The Serpent and if we don't deal with the spirits that's harassing us those spirits will eventually squeeze the life out of your relationship ship with God that's why it's been difficult to pray that's why you have found excuses what to not go to church that's why you're too tired to work it's not that it's not your favorite song or you don't know them that's just an excuse that's why you're too tired to help with Outreach and get involved there is a spirit that's trying to harass you to the point that it just squeezes the life in the natural of Python's of killing his prey is different from that of any other snake he doesn't get you with his Venom he gets you with his vice it's not the secretion of poison but rather The Squeeze of pressure that's creating issues for this next Generation it's designed to squeeze life out of you and it's deceptive because you can literally say like the girl I'm saying all the right stuff you can literally say I have not been bitten wow you can proudly testify that there are no bite marks on you don't worry about me Pastor I got this under control and the whole time you're being squeezed you're being pressured you're becoming paralyzed to the harassment that's why the Bible says be not conformed to this world but be ye trans formed I want to preach to every young preacher that's in this room right now and tell you be not conformed uh to this world uh but be ye transformed there are some things that's trying to suck the life out of your ministry the Bible says in John 20:22 that when he had said this Jesus breathed on them and said receive ye the Holy Ghost just as God breathed into Adam in the garden Jesus breathed on his disciples I'm glad God breathed on me I'm glad I got the Holy Ghost I'm thankful for the Holy Ghost I'm thankful for truth but the devil would love to squeeze that life out of you he would love to put pressures of this world uh that would squeeze you uh and that would put pressure on you but I want to tell some generation that's following us don't let anybody put pressure on you to be anything but Apostolic don't be ashamed of how we live uh don't be ashamed of how we have church uh don't let this world suck the life out of you and your ministry Paul rebuked the spirit he did not rebuked the girl he rebuked the spirit I am not rebuking anybody tonight but I am rebuking that Spirit that's trying to suffocate our sanctification that's trying to choke out consecration that's trying to hinder Holiness that's trying to eradicate evangelism that is a Lie from Hell quit letting the devil squeeze life out of you God's going to use a session a song a sermon this week to breathe life back into you prayer so if he gets our prayer then it only makes sense for him to harass us about our praise we often dilute the story to just say in David and Goliath but there's so much more to it than just a little man versus a big man and there's more to it than just the underdog that got lucky and won this is not a Biblical version of March Madness or some Cinderella Story this is the picture of horrific harassment that was taking place against God's people 1 Samuel chapter 17 verse1 now the Philistines gathered together their armies to battle and were gathered together at shoko which belongeth to Judah skip down to verse four and there went out a champion out of the camp of the Philistines named Goliath whose height was six cubits and a span and he stood and Cried unto the armies of Israel and said unto them why are you come out to set battle in Array am I not a Philistine your Servants of Saul choose you a man for you and let him come down to me and if he being able to fight with me and to kill me then then we will listen this is the win and the why because if I win then you will be my servants and we will control your land but if you Prevail then we will be your servants and the Philistines said I defy the armies of Israel this day give me a man that we may fight together and when Saul and all Israel heard those words of the Philistine they were dismayed and greatly afraid this is the end result of Hell's harassment to make us de made and Afraid notice what was at stake if the Philistines win then they will own and possess all the land of God's people and control God's people but if the children of Israel win they will possess the land and they will have control over the Philistines no wonder the enemy is sending his best no wonder the enemy is attacking with his best he knows this battle is too important to send just anybody anytime there is a major Onslaught from hell it's because hell knows he's running out of time and there's much to be gained or lost at this precise moment and so they sent out their largest fighter to put fear and intimidation in the heart of God's people and because of this harassment they were dismayed and greatly afraid but little did that giant know that God was raising up a David and he would have experienced a few things in his past that would equip him for a battle in his future see some of you have been upset because of the lion and the bear that you've been battling over the last few years but God was just preparing you for something that you didn't even see coming in your tomorrow and had you not went through what you went through you would probably be hiding behind rocks like everybody else some of you came to maraville and you left a giant screaming back home but little does that stronghold know that God's going to prepare you this week to boldly go back home and say you come to me with spear and a sword but I come to you in the name of the Lord the Bible says in chapter 17: 16 of 1 Samuel the Philistines Drew near morning and evening presented himself 40 days this harassment is going on for 40 days twice a day for 40 days in the morning and in the evening now that just so happens to be the time that God's people would pray worship and offer sacrifice there's always harassment on the eve of the miraculous Paul was harassed on his way to a prayer meeting and now goliath is trying to harass the people of God to determine who could control and possess listen and own the valley that belongeth to Judah it was more than just little guy versus big guy it was literally a fight for praise the enemy was trying to harass them to the point that the Philistines could control the land of Judah we cannot lose Judah to the Philistines we cannot lose praise to the world we cannot lose our worship to a spirit of carnality we cannot allow the world to take over our worship cuz let me give you a little insight of what the Philistines always do with our whales Genesis 26:15 for all the whales which his father servants had died in the days of Abraham the Philistines had stopped them and filled them with Earth the Philistines filled the whales with Earth dirt the world let's just put a little world in that whale and their motive hasn't changed one bit if hell can harass us to the point that we lose this battle for Judah then I promise you these beautiful whales that we draw lifegiving water from from will be filled with Earth dirt and fragments of the world and all that does is produce muddy water and the last thing we need uh in this world uh is Muddy worship the last thing we need uh is Muddy preaching the last thing we need is contaminated Doctrine if there's ever been a time for there to be a clear concise and certain sound it David showed up and said is there not a cause this harassment has gone on long enough I'm going to be oldfashioned for a few minutes but Pentecostal worship is still worth fighting for we can't lose our prayer and we cannot lose our praise to the harassment of the and that's why some of you have been attacked that's why some of you have been tempted because you have connected yourself to Judah and the enemy is trying his best to stop calm down and and water down praise uh but we've got to fight for worship ask blind barnas if you want to see you got to be willing to lift up your voice ask David whose own wife made fun of him but if you want to be a man after God's Own Heart you got to forget about what everybody in the window is saying H and you got to worship God with all of your heart all oh God uh give us a fresh baptism of boldness you can defeat that giant we can build those churches we can walk into those cities and plant new churches you can overcome that issue you may feel like you're outnumbered but you hear me a slingshot and the name of the Lord is still greater than any giant you may face a storefront preaching a truth to 10 people would have saved the entire cities of Sodom and gomorra a Bible study chart is still more powerful than the biggest church and biggest budget in your city and when David said I come to you in the name of the Lord there is no evidence that Goliath ever open his mouth again if you want to shut the devil up that's been harassing you get God to begin to fight your battles clap your hands and give God praise in the place he's trying to stop us from prayer he's trying to control the valley that belongs to Judah and he's trying to exempt us from the promises of God Gideon had been called to deliver the children of Israel but just because you're called to be a deliverer just because you're called to plant a church just because you're called to lead that Ministry in the church just because you're called to teach that class does not mean that that exempts you from harassment as a matter of fact the harassment ought to be the lipus test for whether or not you're really called Judges chapter six in the hand of Midian prevailed against Israel and because of the midianites the children of Israel made them dens which are in the mountains and caves and strongholds and so it was when Israel had sown the wind and the why behind hell's harassment because it's harvest time when they had sown the midianites came up and the amalekites and the children of the East and they encamped against them and destroyed the increase of the earth till Thou come unto Gaza and left no sustenance for Israel for they came up with their cattle in tents and they came as grasshoppers for multitude for both they and their camels were without numbered they entered into the land to destroy it the Bible says it was a time of harvest it was a time when they had sown it was time to reap it was time to enjoy the fruits of their labor and that's when hell attacked that's when the midianites showed up that's when the distractions came that's when the harassment increased it was Harvest Time and here come the midianites and you ever had trouble coming it didn't come by itself and they brought with them the amalekites and they brought with them children of the East and they brought their tents they going to stay a while and verse 5 tells us they wanted to do more than just steal the Harvest they came to destroy the land you see the real intentions are now revealed it's not about your Harvest because that's seasonal but if the devil can destroy your land then you'll never be able to have another season the this attack it was pre-planned it was prepared it was premeditated at a specific time which coincided with Harvest Time That's the win that's the why the devil will always try to discourage destroy and defeat you at the time of harvest if the devil's not worried about you he's not attacking you so for all of you that were a little embarrassed at the beginning to admit that you have been under attack now there ought to be a little courage in you so if you've been attacked over the last little bit then why don't you just kind of wave at me for a minute and that ought to let you know the devil is scared to death of you he's scared to death of your ministry he is scared to death of your little attack little Harvest great attack Great Harvest that's why some of you have been under attack that's why that problem keeps pushing you back every time you get three new people in the church you get two families to leave and it's just a constant tug of-war and the devil's trying to wear you out and you may have walked into this conference discouraged but God sent a preacher here to tell you the attack is just a distraction and we are not going to be ignorant of the devil's devices the Bible says because of the midianites they hid in caves now this is true too it's a it's a shame when a preacher has to say this is true this is true too that the word Midian literally just means Strife Strife Strife is just a fancy word for fighting disputing trouble conflict just one little thing after another one little church issue another little church issue one little fight another little fight and because of the midianites because of strife because of the friction because of the fighting their Harvest was being taken and they were hiding in caves in shame in fear the harassment was keeping them hostage and if we could pull the veil back tonight some of you are living in fear shame and Beneath Your Privilege and the enemy has convinced you that you will never amount to anything and that he will have the upper hand in your life and that generational curse will never be broken but I want to declare to you tonight under the unction of the Holy Ghost the devil is a liar and it's time to get some Holy Ghost boldness and lift your head up high and let the enemy know I'm coming out we've he long enough I don't know about you but I'm tired of the devil camping out at our church at every season of Revival every season it's time to come out of the cave uh somebody shout I'm coming out of this somebody shout I'm coming out of this let's all stand Gideon had 32,000 men and God said you got too many so he gave him a test he said if you're fearful leave if you want to go back to where you came from leave if you don't want to live the way God's asking you to live leave if you don't want to repent leave and 22,000 left that's my kind of Revival those are the revivals I preach 22,000 walks out because they want wanted to go back to where God called them from they didn't want to live if I could say it like that a repented life and God looked down at the 10,000 and said you still got too many said now I want you to take those that have repented and I want you to take them to the water and I'm going to accept them or reject them by what they do in the water and 9,700 of them did it one way in the water water and only 300 of them did it the other way in the water and God said I'm going to take the 300 that did it the way I wanted them to do it in the water and to prove that I accepted what they did in the water I'm going to give them a torch of fire and I'm going to give them a trumpet I don't know about you but I'm glad about what we do in the water I know everybody else may be doing it one way but I'm glad about what we do in the water I'm glad I've got a trumpet I'm glad I've got some worship and I'm glad I've got a fire I'm glad I got the Holy Ghost just constantly harassing Gideon you've been called to walk in the promises of God quit feeling sorry for yourself quit acting like you're not worthy God's called you you're worthy the same God that called anyone that's ever been called is the same God that called you you may be the first generation but God called you hold your head up high and walk in that Authority and anointing of the Holy Ghost you're called job 4:1 says the Roaring of The Lion and the voice of the fierce Lon and the teeth of the Young Lions they're broken the Roar of the lion is broken the voice of the you came here and the enemy was seeking you as a roaring lion he was harassing you but something's going to happen this week and when you get home the roar is broken the voice is broken the teeth are broken David said the snare is broken that thing that keeps catching you it's broken you're free you're delivered you're ready to go to the next level The Roaring of the lion verse 10 the voice of the lion the teeth of the lion they're broken verse 11 The Old Lion perisheth for lack of prey when you stop becoming pray for the enemy that's when the lion will perish he can only live as long as you give him something to eat the reason you have felt so much harassment is because you are on the brink of a breakthrough like you have never had your church is about to experience a postco Revival I know you lost some people we've all lost some people I know The Fringe got cleaned out a little bit that's happened to everybody but you walk back to that pull pit you grab that microphone and you let the devil know your teeth is broken uh your voice is broken uh the Roar of the lion is is broken clap your hands and give God praise clap your hands and give God praise clap your hands and lift up a voice of shout and Triumph in this house it's broken it's broken it's broken that Vice is broken that curse is broken so years ago when the Lord opened up some doors for me to start preaching youth camps I was at the church praying one day and I said God I don't know why I think I've shared this with my friend Jason stting God I don't know why but it seems like everybody's got a microphone they don't believe what they ought to believe and they're loud and I feel like they're impacting the movement and I said God your word says their mouths ought to be shut and that's right up my alley cuz I'm a half a mile from a fight I mean you just let me know I can put the blinker on and be there quickly so I was like come on God tell me let's go let's scrap a little let's argue I said God how do we shut their mouths and as sure as I'm looking at you this is what the Lord told me in prayer he said the best way to shut their mouth is to open your and ever how loud that enemy is you just get louder some of you have come to the movement and the enemy has been pretty loud in your ear but on this first night why don't you just open up your mouth louder than the devil why don't you just let Jesus stand up in your situation somebody shout stand stand go back to your city and preach go back to your city and witness go back to your city and evangelize it's revival time it's Harvest Time gave me a Hallelujah me gave me hallu come on young preacher hallu Hallelujah daning out of my great whom the sun sets free and free indeed morning tearing our for theor God up in the sun free free the got up get up get up get up get get like around my heart change my name forever fre I the master I the god this time it's Harvest Time w me up me around I theor my heart change my name whereever somebody clap your hands and lift up a shout now I want to do a couple of things before we go home I want all the young preachers men and women that fill a call to Ministry or you think you fill a call to Ministry or you would be open to filling a call to Ministry cuz the Harvest is ready that's right the laborers are few yes sir there could be a Revival of church planning that hits this place this week there could be a Revival of daughter works that would be started this week that could literally shake the nation so what what's a young preacher give me an age under what age 18 18 if if you're under let's just say 30 years old 30 years old I want you to come up here to the front right now 30 years you already fill a call you think you fill a call you're wrestling with a call you like to fill a call you don't want to get a real job stuff like that you could never get a real job I get it come on yeah we'll take you too now I want everybody else to step back and I want you to make room for this front cuz we're going to pray a spirit off of you tonight and when we pray a spirit off of you we're going to pray a spirit on you we're going to get that Spirit that's trying to squeeze life out of you now I'm standing in a room with two of the probably two of the biggest givers I've ever known in my life and that would be brother Raymond Woodward and brother Bishop Carpenter and they inspire me and I don't say this in any arrogant way but the Lord have helped me I may not ever outdo you but I'm going to be right up there with you if we're not careful I may mention this while I was preaching but if we're not careful we'll turn this into a he and a she and a us and a them and a UPC and an aljc now you can't tell anybody in the UPC but I I'm I'm also AJC I just don't have a license but I am an AJC guy you know brother carpenter has anointed me and laid that mantle upon me but if we're not careful we'll divide over craziness like that and that is not the will of God because we're at the end times and the kingdom of God must be put on display not a particular organization the kingdom of God must be put on display organizations come organization go organization leaders come organization leaders go the kingdom of God God stands forever in Ezekiel chapter 37 God told Ezekiel take two sticks and he said I want you to write on one of them Joseph and I want you to write on the other one Judah and those two sticks represented the divided Kingdom and he said I I want you to take those two sticks you hold them for me cuz I don't have the fancy microphone they they just gave me this one and so I can't hold that right there hold this right here so I I got two sticks here one with UPC on it and one with aljc on it and I know we still left out some but it it kind of messed up the illustration cuz it was just two sticks but whether it's aljc UPC WPF P A W the devil would love to harass the body of Christ to the point of division where you're not as big as us and you're not this and well we've got you beat here and we got you and that's silly that's immaturity that's Strife I don't want to overstep my bounds where where there he is I don't want to overstep my bounds but brother Carpenter I don't know of another preacher that gives outside of the organization like you you bless so many UPC missionaries so many UPC Church planners it would blow your mind if we ever revealed all that he supports that's not part of his organization but God convicted me on the plane today because we give pretty hefty to missions but it's all us it's all this stick and I don't give to this stick but this stick is the kingdom too so brother Carpenter I want a list before I leave this week of your missionaries and your church planners and the Pentecost is of Gainesville is going to start supporting as many as we can and I'm going to challenge every United Pentecostal Church preacher in God told Ezekiel he said I want you to put those two sticks together because I want you to teach a a visual here that the kingdom is no longer divided I'm not saying we need to be one organization I'm not saying that one Church can't reach the whole city and one organization can't reach the whole world I'm not saying we need to be one organization but I am saying we need to be Oneness in our Outreach and in our evangelism to the world so young preacher whether you're aljc or UPC you represent the kingdom of God and the kingdom of God is worth advancing I feel the Holy Ghost wanting to sweep in this place right now I feel a spirit of unity wanting to it's not two sticks anymore Ezekiel put them together it's the kingdom it's the kingdom it's the kingdom you've been brought to the kingdom for such a time I want every Elder preacher in this church I want you to come behind and in front of these young men and women that's in this altar and I want you to pray a spirit of python off of them and I want you to pray a spirit of power on them every Pastor every evangelist every Minister if you could help me pray right now there's an onslaught for this generation come on let's reach the world let's reach the world
