Summary

Summary prepared by Acts 2:38 Life from the transcript below — the preacher’s words follow in full.

Ask, seek, knock

  • He begins at Matthew chapter 7, telling the young people he has been terribly sick most of the day and hesitated to preach this, but he knows where the Lord wants the night to end up.
  • Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: for every one that asketh receiveth, and he that seeketh findeth.
  • He honors his son, present with him tonight, as a mighty young man in prayer, and announces his subject: the abandoned realm.

Scriptures: Matthew 7:7-8

The apartment left untouched for 68 years

  • A woman fled her Paris apartment in 1942, at the outbreak of the war, and paid its rent for the next 68 years without ever returning; opened after her death, it stood perfectly preserved, a time capsule of treasures, and a never-before-seen painting in it sold at auction for $2.1 million.
  • So there is a whole realm of the spirit, a place of treasures, that the large majority of this generation has never tapped into, though an older generation talked of praying for hours, of visions and dreams, of angels, devils cast out, and notable miracles.

A kingdom that does not end

  • The angel told Mary, of his kingdom there shall be no end; the kingdom Jesus spoke of is a realm of royal power and dominion, not only heaven at the end.
  • Except a man be born of the water and of the spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom: at the new birth the door opens, and a man chooses whether he will enter the realm of power while he is here on earth.
  • It was not a season of power for a past generation; in the realm of the spirit there is always another vision, another revelation, fresh oil and fresh anointing, for the one who will go after it.

Scriptures: Luke 1:33; John (book-only, as spoken)

Pursuit: when they had prayed, the place was shaken

  • Moses climbed the mountain to meet with God; nobody reaches this realm sitting at the bottom wishing God would come down, and a twenty-minute prayer meeting will not get it.
  • In a downstairs prayer room before a revival service, praying well past having things to say, he felt the world around him begin to shake and, opening his eyes, saw the whole room shaking — and understood the early church, when it says that when they had prayed, the place was shaken.
  • A campus minister whose crusades have seen outpourings told him his all-night prayer meetings were never well attended: we would rather post about prayer than actually pray, and some things have to be put aside by the one who wants the things of the spirit.

Scriptures: Acts 4:31

Every man presseth into it

  • The kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it: the pursuit is individual and personal, and some see because some go after it.
  • At a Saturday night prayer meeting he looked up and saw a man on a horse with angels on either side and clouds rolling toward them, and heard that his kingdom was coming to that city; the pastor's young son, brushing his teeth that morning, had seen the same vision, because those children pray.
  • The gifts of the Spirit are for this generation and for everybody in the church; God is ready to lay his hand on the young man and the young lady who will go after what he has.

Scriptures: Luke 16:16

What are you craving, and from which kingdom

  • Joseph went to Pilate and begged the body of Jesus, and in the other account he craved it: the word for ask in the text means to beg, to call for, to crave, to desire and to require more than anything else.
  • His grandfather's telling stands as the pattern: a severed tendon in the woods, a father who ran carrying his boy to a brush-arbor meeting with no money and only prayer, and the family watched the tendon grow back and walked home that night.
  • He closes by declaring himself done preaching and releasing the room to seek and knock for itself.

Scriptures: Matthew 27:58; Mark 15:43

love him in the year 2010 a 91-year-old woman passed away in southern France leaving behind her old apartment in Paris Madame D Florine had fled her vulnerable City at the outbreak of World War II as the Nazi army neared it was 1942 and she was just 23 years old when she locked up the apartment that she had inherited from her grandmother and left town for the next 68 years she would continue to pay the rent and upkeep for her Paris apartment but never returned since 1942 the apartment it sat untouched until recently those in charge of her estate and an Auctioneer entered into the old abandoned Apartment what they found was absolutely mindblowing it was a time capsule it was a room full of old treasur the apartment it was covered in dust and it had been perfectly preserved all of the furniture from the past time period remained just the way that she left it and it looked as if she was just there yesterday those who entered found themselves transported to the early 1900s in Paris when the city was celebrating its cultural Renaissance and Madame D florine's grandmother was also an actress was the Talk of the Town books and newspapers lined the shelves gold curtains draped the windows a luxury Dressing Table held hair brushes perfumes and candle stubs that seemed to await the return of a very glamorous Noble woman against floral wallpaper there was a stuffed ostrich draped with a Shaw that stood above two pre-war stuffed animals an original stuff Mickey Mouse an original stuff Porky Pig the formal dining room with a low hanging chandelier over the table it had a wood stove in a stone sink it was still fully stocked with glass wear and pots and pans the biggest surprise was a neverbe seen painting by Fame 19th century Italian artist Giovani baldini the paining was sold at auction for $2.1 million after 10 biders waged a war for the peace and the rest of the items inside of the apartment had been appraise to be worth thousands as well it had been 68 years since someone opened the door of that abandoned room full of Treasures but here another generation entered in I want to say tonight I've not come to just preach about an old abandoned room full of treasures but rather a whole spiritual realm of treasures I want to preach tonight that there is a place that we can tap into that the large majority of our generation is is not tapping into both student and leader there is a realm called the spirit that so many of us have never experienced uh you may have heard your pastor your parents your grandparents uh and some are or some old preacher or Elder that came through your church uh talking about the old days praying for hours uh having visions and dreams and sin into the spirit world maybe you heard them talk about seeing Angels uh casting out Devils uh seeing notable Miracles with their eyes uh and being used in the gifts of the Spirit I've come to tell you tonight that every bit of it was awesome every bit of it was real but most of all it was not just for an old generation I've come to preach to the hungry tonight hear me if you're not careful you will listen to a voice uh and that voice will cause you to exempt yourself uh from all these things saying that was another time that was another day uh but God doesn't work like that anymore hear me tonight it was not just a season of power that a past generation experienced but it was a kingdom door that they walked through uh and God got a hold of the power that Still Remains uh and still Waits uh for this generation to access uh my message uh is so simple here tonight and that is H the door to the spirit world uh still exists I'm preaching to people maybe you've never seen a vision but if you want God uh to open that door up to you you got to get on your feet you got to lift up your voice there's got to be something in you that say God says God I don't care what it requires of me I don't care what I got to let go of uh I don't care if I have to stop doing what everybody else is doing I'm hungry for something more than a performance what we have we have done our best and I hey I respect it you're not going to find anybody that's one more souls off of social social media than me I believe in it you're not going to find anybody that's got on more planes to people that dropped in my DMs and had questions about the Holy Ghost than me so I believe in it but I will tell you we will look at the screens and we'll look at the promo and we'll look at the pro production and we'll have our inner ears in and it turned up so loud oh but somehow we miss what God is really doing because there's a lot here that we can see and I know they're streaming here tonight but I want to tell you there's something going on here tonight that you don't see God have mercy come on if there away you could somehow put on some spiritual goggles and you could see the the things of the spirit that was taking place if you could see the Angels uh that were oh if you could see what God was truly doing uh it would blow your mind uh my message is simple uh the spirit world it still exists and it waits for this generation uh to access it when the angel approached Mary speaking of Jesus and Luke 1 and33 he told her and of his kingdom there shall be no end don't tell me that we don't talk in tongues anymore don't tell me that Visions don't happen anymore don't tell me it was for a different day this Kingdom don't end baby it keeps on going it keeps on growing it's got more power than it's ever I'm telling you this is the same word that Jes Jesus used when he said to Nicodemus except a man be born of the water and the spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom that word Kingdom means a realm oh you got to hear me right now it means a realm of royal power and Dominion when Jesus spoke of entering into the kingdom he was talking about so much more than heaven there are many that receive the Holy Ghost are baptized in jesus' name but never enter into the realm of power scripture tells us except a man be born of water and spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom what's that telling me that means when I'm born in the water of the spirit the door opens and I get to choose oh God hear me I'm not saying you're not going to heaven I'm not saying you're going to be lost but I'm saying while we're here on Earth there are some things that we have access to come on you don't have to you don't have to wait till you get to the to to the streets of gold to see Glory you don't have to wait till you walk by the walls of Jasper but before you see something Supernatural

the realm of the spirit of God is accessible and there is so much more in the kingdom of God that you have yet to see but if we're going to get there we have got to wake awaken a Pursuit Moses climbed the mountain to meet with God you can't sit at the bottom of the mountain and look up and say man I wish he'd come down I'm come to preach to you right now that it takes a Pursuit oh God I'm telling you 20 minute prayer meetings ain't going to get it oh hey brother Carpenter we we we were in St Augustine Florida and we were we were doing massive Outreach I've talked to you about it but I I I tell you there was a young man that was there that was with me and his name is Connor Fisk Connor is a he is a dynamic campus ministry probably not one person in this room even knows that name but I want to tell you for the last six years he's committed his ministry to reaching that campus they have had outpourings of the Holy Ghost they have had conversions but as we were sitting there in St Augustine together he would get up that night and preach repentance we end up having 49 people receive the Holy Ghost in three nights of a crusade outside of the building uh and hear me he got he he told me because he be to tell me he's like man people don't realize what it takes to get what we really want getting dressed tonight don't get you what you want getting on the bus and going with the youth grw don't get you what you want Connor looked at me he said he said Taylor I've scheduled many prayer he said I've scheduled many all night prayer meetings and attendance was never good i' I've scheduled many all night prayer meetings and at attendance was never good why because we'd rather stay up and play fortnite or whatever it is that we play all night long but we can't do an all night prayer meeting I want to preach to somebody there's got to be some things that align in your life I'm not here to preach that everything's wrong but I I will tell you if you want the things of the spirit sometimes you got to put things aside and say God I want you more than I want anything else come on I got to preach to somebody right now now there's got to be somebody says God I'm going to lock on I'm going to lock in with you come on we'd rather post about prayer than actually pray we'd rather post about consecrations than actually have consecrations but I'm preaching to some young people tonight you can feel something Rising deep CA to deep tonight oh God there's a call in this place there's an anointing in this place I remember I was in auka Mississippi preaching a Revival I was very young I at 21 22 years old I was preaching there in auka Mississippi for Pastor William Lambert and their church it's built on a hill they have a prayer room downstairs and one night uh one night specifically when I was down there in prayer before service there were some young ministers there with me praying sometimes you got to put your world on silent some young ministers and I we were down there praying I remember that there was such an intense it was such an intense time of prayer and there was such a powerful anointing that the only way I know how to explain it is that I could feel the world around me begin to shake now if this bothers you don't worry I'm going to give you plenty here tonight cuz we going to step on out there here tonight I'm going to talk about the things of the spirit as we were there in praying I I don't know how long we were there but I was rocking and I was praying and I was W I was well past having things to say I was just speaking in tongues and letting that carry me you know there's a place that you can get in prayer where words are no longer a challenge and you reach a flow and it begins to carry you deeper and deeper and deeper and deeper this is where we were and I could feel the world around me begin to shake I'll never forget this many of the preachers that were praying there they would just walk around a circle uh in that downstairs prayer room uh and there were tables in the middle and they would just walk around but I remember as I felt this shaking that I opened my eyes and and in one One Moment I Saw the entire room begin to shake it literally it almost looked as if we were in an earthquake or something uh the entire room uh be to shake because of the prayer nothing fell over nothing was broken it was nothing like that I'm not even sure if anybody else felt or seen it that night but it was as if the lens that I myself was looking through uh begin to see what was happening uh in the spirit uh God was doing something uh and he was allowing me to see a shaking uh and this helped me uh make sense of what happened in the early church uh when it says in Acts 4:21 and when they had prayed uh the place was shaken young people God is wanting to open up your spiritual eyes so that you can see what is happening uh in the spirit oh I remember I walked to the pull pit and I wasn't even really confident in what I was preaching that night but oh I was confident that I had prayed oh God I was confident that I had been with him and there was a 50o youth choir that sang that night and by the end of the night the Holy Ghost bombed that service so greatly that every single one of the members of that choir were drunk in the Holy Ghost and they had to carry them on their backs to the bus come on TR St when's the last time you had a youth rally where somebody was carried up out of here hey I'm thankful for afterburners but sometimes your After Burner has to be the alter I've got to preach to somebody come on something happens when you give yourself over to the realm of the spirit I was preaching Mid America conference in Little Rock Arkansas my pastor was standing next to me Pastor Benjamin white and he leaned over to me I'd been on in prayer I was all kinds of stirred up I was all kinds of nervous you know I'm just always on edge and nervous and all this stuff and my pastor leaned over to me he said Taylor look over there towards the back of the building and we looked up and I'm telling you there was a haze that be to move over the left side of that congregation it was the glory of God I saw I saw preachers at and Bishops and leaders I saw God me melt strong men that night I saw God break people oh God I saw people crawling the altars and you know people all over they come up they say oh brother that that word the ministry of worms that you preached at Mid America changed my life let me tell you what really changed your life there was a glory that came into that place hey let me tell you I don't want to do this without the glory of God showing up God have mercy we can have a lot of good meetings we can have a lot of good conferences we can oh we can sell them out we can sell them out and we can have the best headline preachers and we can ever have ever worship leader in Pentecost but I'm going to tell you if you don't have the glory you don't have no wonders come on this is what God this is what God oh I believe it I believe we have the most submitt generation that there's ever been I know there's somebody that's going to do something stupid I know somebody's going to go crazy but we have preached submission until we're blue in the face uh but I want to preach uh to the submitted generation right now and I want to tell you you are under Authority and it is time to operate you are under Authority it is time to move it's your turn to speak the the word of faith uh it's your turn uh to see Visions uh it's your turn uh to have dreams uh it's your turn the following Sunday I got up and I preached I preached about the name of Jesus Christ that morning and my wife came up to me and she was weeping she said Taylor you're not going to believe what I saw I said tell me what you saw she said as you were preaching she said right in the front of the pull pit right in the middle aisle she said I saw as smoke oh some of you don't believe this don't worry you don't believe it you won't get it but I believe in this kind of stuff and I don't think we preach about this stuff near enough in the apostolic church I'm telling you if the charismatic movement can get up and and sing about angels if the charistic movement can get up and sing about healing bless God the people of the name of Jesus the people of the name of Jesus they should be able to see it they should be able to feel it oh God have mercy she said I looked and there was a there was a a a spiral of smoke that went up to to the ceiling she said I begin to rub my eyes cuz I am I seeing this hey I've come to preach uh some of you in here uh if you're not careful you'll make that so far-fetched uh you'll say it's not for me I come to tell you it's for every single person under the sound of my voice it's for you Pastor it's for you pastor's wife it's for you Saint it's for you young person it's for you young child lift up your hands and get a hold of God let there be something that goes after it tonight oh somebody needs to unlock your voice unlock your voice we got to learn to linger again we got to learn to press again if I don't feel it in five minutes I pray 10 minutes if I don't get there in 10 minutes I pray 20 minutes hey I don't know what what God is requiring of you to get access come on sometimes uh sometimes I got to leap and cry sometimes I got to commit and make I got to make a a vow sometimes I got to press but it always takes something in me uh to go beyond what is normal I in a Revival in Palm Coast Florida it's a few years ago I'm telling you there was something that hit that place God begin to move people begin to walk off walk in off the streets possessed with the devil we'd cast The Devil out of them they'd receive the Holy Ghost we'd baptize them in Jesus name we were in that Revival we didn't know what we were going to do we're in that place of Revival and listen uh the Lord dealt with me one night to take up a miracle offering and I am not the offering guy but I am the obedient one and I want to be obedient to what God wants and even if it's not my Mo if God says it I'm going to try my God we've got to have the audacity to try in this generation but I remember as we were there my God I feel such an anointing in this place here tonight as we were there I saw as PE we were in an old Sears building on on Easter Sunday they packed they packed it so full of people it was well past the fire code they had not even been in that that that building long but we got up and took up a a miracle offering and the money was coming in and I saw people putting boat titles on the altar oh God I know this church knows all about miracles but I people were putting boat titles on the author there was a commitment that was made that night and I'll never forget after we took that offer that offering up pastor campetella and sister campetella they looked at me they said we already know the building that we want there's a Methodist Church in town it's the tallest building in the city and guess what they did they begin to go to that parking lot after hours and they were praying in the Holy Ghost they were praying in the Holy Ghost and I'll never forget I was I was in the back of the sanctuary they had Saturday night prayer and you know what I really like Saturday night prayer get your mind right for Sunday and that that the way they do it it's 7 to 8 it no there's no announcements there's no talk you just come in and you just throw down prey for a solid hour and I was probably at the 45 minute Mark and I had called him alpha omega beginning the end first last rows of sharing I've called him everything that I could call him but then I could feel there's a connection that's been made and as I'm praying in the Holy Ghost I I look up and it's like the ceiling comes open and as I look up there I can see I can see I can see a man on a horse and I can see I can see angels on either side of him and I can see clouds rolling towards us and my first thought is my goodness it's the Rapture it's the coming of the Lord and I begin to look at that and as I begin to look at it after 45 minutes of prayer as God begin to open up my eyes to I'm weeping I'm crying and the Lord speaks to me and says my kingdom is coming to Palm Coast there's so much in the balance here I'm crying I called brother campetella I said brother campetella you ain't going to believe what I saw he said what' you see I told him the vision and I told him I I I told him the clouds that were coming and the man on the horse no doubt it looked like the coming of the Lord but the it was the coming of the Lord because the kingdom was coming to Palm Coast he said oh my goodness he said you're not going to believe this I said I believe it come on tell me he said my son David David campetella nine eight or nine years old I can't make this up he said he was brushing his teeth this morning and while he was brushing his teeth he looked up and he saw a vision and it was exactly what you just explained to me I said he was doing what I was praying for 45 minutes I'm I'm pressing but you got to understand these are people of prayer these kids pray I've seen them kids eight nine years old pray for a solid hour they have kids prayer they have they have kids prayer my son Ezra got the holy ghost at 5 years old in that church but but I I quickly realized you know here's this traveling evangelist but here's this traveling evangelist and I you know what I I I'm a ordained minister and all this and God showed the boy that was brushing his teeth and had a prayer life the same thing he saw the preach he showed the preacher who just took up the miracle offering this is for you I've come to convince you that you can have it you can have it let me tell you they got that building the that The Rock in his church in Palm Coast I've come to preach that God wants to show you some things if you want it lift your hands and go after it don't look around my God your eyeballs are robbing you tonight don't you dare look around there's something else to see don't you dare look around there's something else to see years ago I was preaching years ago I was preaching for Pastor Mike Wedgeworth Texas City Texas down there by the beach it's not a pretty beach either gston Beach bunch of Muddy but Bishop Wedgeworth he told me a story we we got to talking about the gifts of the Spirit come on what would happen if we filled our conversations with spiritual things again oh God where are the ones in this generation that are after it come on it's not weird to go on a three-day fast it's not something we just do in January yeah come on what would happen if something in you woke up and you really went after it and said God I'm going to pursue you cuz you got some things you want to open up to me Pastor wedworth he was telling me he said he said I had this new couple he said I had this new couple that was coming to my church this is years ago he said they asked me after church one night Pastor can we do some counseling before next midweek service he said absolutely and they met and they counseled and I'm telling you this couple they just spilled their guts and there was all kinds of issues and things and he was sitting there and he was trying his best to help them and you know what they said you know what we're going to keep praying we're going to keep working on this we'll meet again if we have to we'll get together again and they he was just loving them loving that family and he said in one service he said that service that night that midweek service that the gifts of the Spirit swept in did the gift of the spirit still operate in our churches I pray they do every Apostolic church should have all of the gifts of the Spirit operating we he said it was he said it was the Holy Ghost swept in the gifts of the Spirit begin to begin to operate and the next thing we know here goes a message in tongues he said and I'm standing there in the altar area he said and the glory of God is moving and it's very evident God wants to say something he's speaking uh this person is giving that message in tongues and as this person is speaking the interpretation is coming to the mind of the pastor and the pastor realizes that it is the ex exact answer for the couple that he's just that that he just counsel with and he closes his eyes he says God this couple is new you know that God if I open my mouth and I let this interpretation out the P this new family I cannot say that they wouldn't think I just fabricated something he said said God I need your help right now cuz I'm working with this family and the Lord speaks to him and says Lay Your Hands on the young man's head next to you and he and Pastor Wedgeworth takes his hand and he puts it on the young man's head and when he does as the words come to his mind they come out of the young man's mouth if is flow and it is a no doubt a 100% word from God God begins to minister and God begins to move uh but it when that story was told it stirred me up God said Lay Your Hands on the young man I'm preaching tonight that God is ready to lay his hands on the young man I'm telling you the gifts of the Spirit are for everybody in the church see some of you don't believe that but I'm telling you there's got to be a young lady that'll close their eyes and lift their hands and say God I'm ready to go after it I'm ready to go after what you have for me I've been setting back I've done everything I know how to do I remember I was preaching a youth retreat it was an outdoor youth retreat in Madisonville Kentucky a lot of churches from the area were there and I preached that night and I was in the altar area and I'm telling you I saw a bright light flash by me 100 miles an hour Shook Me Elder walks by to me he goes brother there are angels in this altar right now you know you hear that people say that kind of stuff and I'll never forget I preached that night and afterward there was a there was a little girl she wasn't even old enough to be at the camp she was just there with like one of the chaperon families she had a folden up piece of paper and she was shaking and she she came up to me her mama's weeping her mama says she she wants to show you this and they H this this girl hands me the the paper and I open it up and it's a picture of me in the pull pit you know round glasses and all and behind me is the largest wingspan of an Angel she begin to weep she said brother fish as you were preaching I drew the angel that was standing behind you I didn't see it I just saw the flash of light but there was a li there was a young lady that saw it in detail my God I feel a hunger rising in this place here tonight hey let me tell you when are you going to get tired when are you going to get tired of regular church and when are you going to go after the real thing you know what I want I I want God to string me out tonight I want to get carried out I want to get drunk in the Holy Ghost my grandmother's an alcoholic my grandmother's my grandmother's an alcoholic she always wants another drink and another drink and another drink how do you get drunk in the Holy Ghost you've got to get more and more and more and more there's got to be something in you that says I'm going after it somebody reach and go after it Somebody Pray somebody scream out to the Lord Angels Visions gifts of the Spirit it's for you Jesus would talk again about the of power in Luke 1616 when you would say the kingdom of God is preached and every man presseth into it every man individuality personal Pursuit personal experience some people see and some people don't because some people go after it and some people don't I sense a I sense a hunger in this place brother M I'm not familiar brother MCO with all the ministry that's here but I can tell you what I sense in the Holy Ghost I believe that a Revival of the Supernatural is coming to your fellowship I believe he I prophesy tonight that oh oh I prophesy tonight that a Revival of the super natural is coming I want somebody to lift up their hands if you want that come on if you want that you better lift up your hands I'm not going to get everywhere I need to go as a matter of fact if you want it I want you to get out I want you to run I want you to run to this to this Altar and I want you to throw up your hands and say God I cannot leave until the door is open it's just been abandoned it's still there it's just not been access come on press come on don't be satisfied right there press listen to me for a second Matthew 7 seven ask ask what are you asking for ask and it shall be given you listen that word ask in the Greek is a tail somebody say a tail that word ask there it literally means to beg to call for to Crave or to desire to require more than anything else you know why oh God I know I'm trying to be careful here I know people get the Holy Ghost in our churches I know we baptized I know people were delivered but my grandpa told me a story oh his they lived way they were they were dirt poor Cravens Louisiana and they were chopping firewood that double bit axe came down on that wood and it slipped and when it did it caught my great uncle right on his Achilles tendon and it severed it completely my grandpa said you wouldn't believe the blood you wouldn't believe how bad it was he said my dad didn't ask any questions he just picked him up he said and he begin to run through the woods he said we were so far from any hospitals and we didn't have the money we didn't have the money to to make it right even if we did get into the hospital he said but there was word of an old brush Arbor meeting that was happening far out in the woods he said I remember just a little boy I ran behind Daddy all he said nobody said anything everybody knew how serious it was and everybody was running he said and they we walked in to that brush Arbor meeting he said they put sawdust on the floors and then he said there was sawdust all in the air from people dancing and shouting I wonder how much sawdust would be in the air tonight if there was sawdust on these floors but he said he said my daddy walked in and walked straight to the altar preacher looked and stopped everything and my great grandpa James fish looked and said preacher we don't have any money we've got to pray and God has to do a miracle tonight my grandpa just a young boy seven eight years old he said he said I had my eye on that foot he said and the ministry came and they begin to pray it was a bloody mess that foot was just dangling that tendon was all the way up here where it had snapped and popped he said but I looked with my own eyes as the tendon begin to grow back he said I look with my own eyes as the tendon begin to grow back the blood begin to dry up he he said in the skin begin to grow over it and he said it was he said we all walked home that night I'm telling you this is not just what we need this is is what the world needs God is ready to show his glory through his church do we understand do we understand that the reals that we post is not his glory that's right do we understand well this one got a million views who cares right who cares let somebody Walk In Here let a daddy I've seen it in every major Revival I've been in there was a major miracle that transpired in the city's eyes turned to the church I I remember when I was preaching in North Lo North Little Rock Arkansas and the woman with crooked feet came up and God straighten them feet out correctly she begin to dance she begin to shout all right oh God I remember when we were in the 101 Soul Revival at my home Church oh and bl Carrol he had been in Afghanistan and he had been shot in the hand the doctor tried to fix his hand six times but he had to get discharged because a soldier has to make a fist well won't that preach a soldier has to make a fist but he couldn't or he would try but because he couldn't even make a fist they dis charged him but I remember the night oh God that the Holy Ghost broke out in our church and I watched his BL begin to lift up his hand and that hand be to close and God did what the doctor could not do do you want that do you want that in your church my question is how bad do you want it you can't well it'd be nice to have that no there's got to be a desire for that ask ask what are you asking for we need the move of the miraculous more than we need a new drama I want to challenge a pastor tonight you've been praying oh if we could just have a piano a new piano players this weight would be lifted no if you could have one person get up out of a wheelchair that everybody knows you'll have to build three buildings because of the indraw that would happen somebody say a I'm I'm ending with this after Jesus died on the cross we see in Matthew 27 and 58 that Joseph of ARA went and I quote begged the body of Jesus period Then pilate commanded the body to be delivered that word beg there is not a slight request but that word begged there is a tail and what I see is a man a man with money a man that's got a lot of things but in this moment he just wants one thing pilot can I please have that body know you understand what it will do if we give this pilot please I can see tears I can see C listen this ain't this isn't just a a question this is not a suggestion if maybe it'd be a good idea but he begged it there was something in him that said pilate I am not leaving this room until I leave with that body this man so greatly desired the body of Jesus we see in Mark 15 and 43 the same story it says that he craved the body of Jesus my question to this meeting tonight is what are you craving and what kingdom is it from there's a lot of things that you want but I want everybody to close your eyes right now some of you I'm about to release you to pray like you ain't never prayed I believe somebody's going to scream in a way that you ain't never screamed I believe there's going to be somebody that wakes up a desperation come on when are you going to understand that custom suits don't get what I'm preaching about right now come on I'm thankful that we're all well dressed tonight but I'm telling you there's got to be an awake in there's got to be an tail come on can you get a hold of that tonight come on can you get a hold of that tonight come on man you play that guitar so good but is there an a tao in you come on man you did great tonight but is there an a tao I'm done preaching and I loose you right now why don't you go ahead and awake oh God I'm challenging I'm challenging every single person I don't care how well studied you are come come on I don't care I don't care what church you go to we've got to get a hold of an a tail here tonight seek and you shall find knock and it shall be open where is your Pursuit
