nationwide worldwide revival are we whistling in the dark are we simply carrying a security blanket of comfort are we punching the applause buttons in the congregation and the assembly or is it rational reasonable plausible feasible and possible that these kind of things can actually happen in our lives in our ministries in our churches I tell you it is indeed a reality too many times I feel that we have left church like the little boy who was riding home from service with his dad who was the pastor and said to the father in the car the son and the dead the boy said dad did that really happen or were you just preaching when we talk about citywide revival statewide revival national revival worldwide revival we're not just preaching God is ready to pour out his spirit like we have never seen it poured out before however it is possible that the smallest and most my new things can get in our way to block us from a complete surrendering and giving of ourselves to revival like we are - it's not usually some great big catastrophe or gigantic roadblock many times it's just an errant thought and an errant attitude I feel it is very important that we regulate some thoughts and some mentalities and come to the bottom line about all of this and recognize that where there is no faith in the future there is no power in the present where there is no faith in the future there is no power in the present the only restrictions limitations upon the potential of this Apostolic Church at you and I are a part of today are between our ears the only limitations are between our ears God is ready to fulfill his word in this hour here while that everywhere you went the message was revival it was evangelism it was church growth thank God we're returning to those kind of attitudes again and I appreciate the fact that we're hearing it in this meeting and I would go to those meetings and it's not easy for me to get excited because I try to stay excited I was just born in the fire and I can't live in the smoke and I really haven't got over being saved and the handout over having the Holy Ghost I hadn't got over knowing who Jesus is and I hadn't got over being a part of the rancidity but both sanctified Church of Jesus Christ hallelujah and so I'd go to these conferences and they'd be preaching revival man I'd slide on the edge of my seat like I see some of you here today on the edge of my Pew I was waiting on every word they preached about bustin oh man they preached about building new churches they preached about citywide Crusades they preached about Pentecost moving across the tracks coming downtown being the heart of the conversation of the city and impacting and influencing a generation for Jesus Christ I don't know about you but I like that kind of talk I enjoy that kind of talk that motivates me and excites me and that talk of that congregations being converted to truth and and great numbers of people being baptized and brand new buildings own lovely plush property right out in the city where people could see it good and all of that and I get so excited about it I just about come apart rejoicing over the possibilities and the potential of revival and then suddenly the message switch from revival to prophecy and everybody began to preach about he's coming he's coming and they would preach it so emphatically and so dynamically

and so specifically that you didn't know whether you ought to leave the church that night maybe all just bring the family in and a backpack and stay around the altar because he's coming so soon and some of the young people in our movement here recently the prophecy was coming so hot and so heavy relative to the soon return of the Lord they decided we're going to get married we better get on with this business and they were going out and getting married matter of fact when the war broke out I had a couple to come to me and say we want to move our wedding data and they said we found these ashes and this stone is being set and this is being fulfilled and and this and everybody's hairs coming up on the back of their head and everybody's packing up for the rapture and I'm standing here between revival and rapture this guy's telling me we're going to pack our churches we're going to have revival God's going to move we're gonna see the city's converted take wine nationwide worldwide and over here he's telling me any minute now just-just-just any minute now the trumpets gonna sound and the harder he preaches the prophetic message the more I say goodbye a new church goodbye revival goodbye city white skirt goodbye hundreds being baptized cuz I could not negotiate how in the world both of those preachers could be right and I'm preaching to some folks today the only thing that hinders you from the full impact of the Apostolic revival that God wants you to have is the fact that you are scared in the paralysis of analysis and you're constantly analyzing is the revival is right or is the rapture preacher right which one's right folks I was confused as a termite in a yo-yo I didn't know who to believe or what to believe and it paralyzed me and there may be some folks here today who are paralyzed let me tell you I want to set you free because God spoke to me and said both are bombs right they're both right they're both right whoa hallelujah are we or are we not do we or do we not will we are will we not can we or can we not yeah we are shall we not let's settle the issue at because of the times the God that we serve is able to avenge us speedily God said I'm going to do it but when I do it it's going to happen so fast that you will be amazed at how fast God fulfills his word whoa praise his name praise his name this world is in for revival that is going to snatch the church out I leave the devil is he wondering which way did they go in Matthew 26:53 Jesus said thinkest thou I cannot now pray to my father and he shall presently everybody say now everybody say presently give me more than twelve legions of angels you think it's an uncontrollable situation you think it's midnight it's over it's finished I'm caught I'm captured I'm surrendered but Jesus said let me tell you I can pray to my father now even with these obstacles even in these surroundings even in these barriers I tell you I pray right now and he can presently send me twelve legions of angels don't throw the towel in on your ambition don't throw the tallien on your aspiration don't throw the tallien on your dream don't throw the talent on your vision it's never too late for a miracle it's never too late my miracle hallelujah I said it's never too late for a miracle you say well I've been there five years that doesn't matter it's not too late I've been here ten years it's not too late you might think just because it hasn't happened and I want to emphasize this just because it hasn't happened doesn't mean it won't happen hey just because it

hasn't happened to you doesn't mean it's not going to happen the angelic Annunciation was to two women one of them was a virgin and another was an old barren woman who had never conceived and the Holy Ghost said let me tell you in the latter days not only will the virgin Tori receive the seed and bring forth sons and daughters but the old barren inconceivable church that stayed and dry and traditional will in the last days have her womb open and began she could see and to bring poor sons and daughters hey you may have left the damn church but God can make it a lot of church and it don't take him long to do it you may have left an empty church but God can make it a full church and it doesn't take him long to do it whoo somebody shout hallelujah I teach a lot of home Bible studies and folks are always interested in Genesis 1 how long did it take the Lord to create all that we enjoy don't expect me to answer dispensational days solar days creative days six days resting on the seventh how long did it take him seven thousand years twenty nine thousand years I'll tell how long it took him Genesis chapter 1 verse 3 and God said verse 7 and it was so verse 9 and God said and it was soon verse 11 and God said and it was so verse 14 and God said 15 says and it was told 24 says and God said and it was so 29 says and God said and 30 says and it was so all God's got to do is say it God's not on the time clock God don't need a day a month a year ten years all God's got to do is speak the word all God's gotta do is say it and I hear a prophetic voice in the spirit God's speaking to some hearts now now now now now now you may have tarried long you may have waited long but when God does it it doesn't take him long to do it Wow hallelujah my foundation for this message is predicated not upon prophetic Oh or futuristic happenings I think we need to lay hold on the past and how victory for the present the church leans too much on futuristic occurrences and events hey Calvary's the settle fact you can't undo the blood it's already been shed it doesn't matter what happens tomorrow victories already been channeled and it's not in front of us it's behind us death reign for 4000 years everybody say 4000 years but in three days Jesus to throne death death reign for 4000 years but in three days Jesus defeated and the throned death because when others couldn't get up heat in when they put him down he got up and I'm telling you just because you're down doesn't mean you have to stay down it's not your place in life it's not your position and I get up get up get up somebody said it's always been that way well it's time to change it's time to change it's time to change God can do it and he can do it in a hurry listen to this and he said to them I'll be held in st. as lightning fall from heaven jesus said I beheld Satan as lightning as lightning Paul from heaven Oh from heaven that's good when God got ready to debase the devil and put down his regime it didn't
