WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:02.720 I want to talk about a concept this morning, then we're going to pray. 00:02.860 --> 00:07.740 We're starting to praise a little bit earlier, because there's a lot to deal with this morning. 00:07.920 --> 00:12.140 But I want to talk about the word represent. 00:14.200 --> 00:18.680 And there's a reason attached to the service that's attached to our lifestyle. 00:19.380 --> 00:25.840 The word represent or represent, you know, like, or the gangs say represent, you know, or whatever. 00:25.840 --> 00:29.340 But it's that word that says we're going to repeat something. 00:30.260 --> 00:35.680 But in order to repeat it, you have to repeat it exactly, right? 00:35.820 --> 00:40.140 To represent it. You have to say it exactly what happened, right? 00:40.300 --> 00:46.220 Our testimony should be us representing what God did, right? 00:46.460 --> 00:49.360 So we represent by representing. Same word. 00:49.360 --> 00:55.660 It just all depends on what you put the emphasis on when you say it. 00:56.320 --> 00:59.700 And so God likes a lot of re's, right? Like we rejoice. 01:00.800 --> 01:05.100 Like if you had joy, just go back and do that thing again, right? Rejoy it. 01:05.840 --> 01:10.780 And so represent or represent is very much like that. 01:10.840 --> 01:15.080 If you look through other words, I mean, he puts the re on a lot of stuff. 01:15.660 --> 01:20.220 And I think that it's just go back and revisit what you already have. 01:21.220 --> 01:27.960 Go back and don't forget where you came from and stir up that gift that's already in you, right? 01:28.520 --> 01:32.020 So you're stirring up something. You're not constantly looking for something new. 01:32.100 --> 01:38.340 And it is of our nature, our fleshly nature, to look for something new in a problem, right? 01:38.520 --> 01:41.320 Now he may do something new that we've never experienced before, 01:41.360 --> 01:43.300 but it's always based on what he's already done. 01:43.840 --> 01:46.340 And that's what's crazy. We'll be like, I didn't see that coming. 01:46.500 --> 01:49.360 But yet, if you look at it, he already did it. 01:49.480 --> 01:51.880 He's the same yesterday, today, and forever. 01:52.400 --> 01:55.140 It's just we are now first experiencing that new thing. 01:56.220 --> 02:03.460 But so for him, for the Holy Spirit, what the Holy Spirit does is represents what Jesus did. 02:04.840 --> 02:07.560 That's how he teaches us. That's how he counsels us. 02:07.720 --> 02:09.380 That's how he's there for us. 02:09.380 --> 02:13.080 He comes alongside and reminds us, okay, here's how he rolls. 02:13.480 --> 02:18.120 I got to remind you, this is how God works. That's what the job of the Holy Spirit is. 02:19.160 --> 02:22.960 And then he will represent how the kingdom of heaven is. 02:23.440 --> 02:28.020 So when we get born again, you've heard me say this over and over, but I'll say it again anyway. 02:29.140 --> 02:32.940 You're not accepting a ticket to heaven. 02:33.300 --> 02:36.520 You're actually moving the kingdom of God inside of you. 02:37.120 --> 02:42.060 And I always love the thought that just says how much love God has. 02:42.460 --> 02:48.700 When you think about this flesh and how jacked up it is, God could have picked anywhere else to put his kingdom. 02:48.880 --> 02:52.840 But he's like, no, that's exactly where I want to put it in that messed up container. 02:53.360 --> 02:57.720 Because he's going to make it right. He's going to do it over. 02:58.140 --> 03:00.700 He's going to try to, you know, he's going to, in us and through us, 03:00.820 --> 03:04.700 going to bring it back to the original form and better. Amen. 03:05.280 --> 03:09.360 So this is, this is part of what the Holy Spirit does. 03:09.660 --> 03:16.280 And so then in us, we're to represent what the Holy Spirit showed us that he presented from heaven. 03:16.540 --> 03:21.220 So the kingdom of God in us is the kingdom dwelling in us. 03:21.340 --> 03:23.060 The kingdom of heaven is a place. 03:23.860 --> 03:30.080 So the kingdom of heaven is to be pulled down to be represented in the kingdom of God and then through us. 03:30.080 --> 03:35.500 It's a process. A lot of people don't understand that they think they came in the prayer line and joined a church 03:35.500 --> 03:39.220 or got saved, meant to get a ticket so they don't have to go to hell. 03:39.920 --> 03:44.220 And that is included in it, but the kingdom is now in you. 03:44.340 --> 03:51.920 The kingdom is the sphere of his rule, his domain, his ways of doing things just now moved into you. 03:52.120 --> 03:54.840 And so that's where we make him Lord and we get out of the way. 03:55.220 --> 03:58.800 So it's simple gospel, but I don't know that it's preached all the time. 03:59.720 --> 04:04.700 Because when I presented other churches, things like that, they look at me like that's the first time they ever heard it. 04:05.520 --> 04:07.840 They just thought they were agreeing to something. 04:08.020 --> 04:09.720 I agree and I accept Jesus. 04:11.720 --> 04:14.840 And so you can accept him, but what does that mean? 04:15.180 --> 04:18.580 But to move the kingdom into you and get out of the way and make him Lord is everything. 04:19.180 --> 04:23.440 So now when the kingdom stirs, it's stirring inside of us. 04:24.220 --> 04:26.580 The power of God has shut up in our bones. 04:26.580 --> 04:35.380 I mean, it's he's training us, he's teaching us, but he's only going to represent heaven in this, right? 04:35.980 --> 04:39.740 What we have in the flesh is trained by the flesh is trained by the earth. 04:39.840 --> 04:42.540 So now we have these two ways of thinking that collide. 04:43.020 --> 04:43.080 Amen? 04:43.840 --> 04:47.140 Simple truth, two ways of thinking that collide. 04:47.680 --> 04:54.080 And so religion, what religion has done is I don't know if we should represent like heaven. 04:54.080 --> 05:02.000 I've heard some stuff, seen some stuff, there was a miracle over there, but it's going to make it messy for the people, right? 05:02.200 --> 05:07.140 So we'll mix it so that we're presenting it, but we're not giving them the full meal deal. 05:07.980 --> 05:10.200 We're not going to really say what heaven is like. 05:10.380 --> 05:13.740 Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come. 05:14.860 --> 05:17.800 Thy will be done on earth as it already is in heaven. 05:17.900 --> 05:23.600 So we invite that, but then we hold it back because we don't want to be labeled weird, right? 05:23.600 --> 05:26.340 That's what religion does. That's why it cuts off. 05:26.700 --> 05:31.700 This religion believes up to here, then those add this other thing, and then yeah. 05:31.840 --> 05:33.900 And then there's the crazies, that just the whole Bible. 05:34.760 --> 05:36.680 You know, we would be those people. 05:37.300 --> 05:39.980 And so we want to represent. 05:40.440 --> 05:46.200 So there's something that happens, like what we're going to talk about in service this morning, can make some people uncomfortable. 05:46.600 --> 05:52.160 Because if you've been touched by religion, which we all have, because it's the earthy realm that has trained our flesh, 05:52.600 --> 06:00.160 we have to tap into the kingdom of God inside of us and let him represent or present to us for the first time what heaven's like 06:01.400 --> 06:03.960 and ignore how this earthly realm works. 06:04.080 --> 06:07.720 It's hard because that's where persecution comes in. 06:07.900 --> 06:12.360 That's where people talk and smack come in, you know, and that's where even you'll talk smack yourself like, 06:12.400 --> 06:13.420 ah, this makes me uncomfortable. 06:13.720 --> 06:16.420 I don't, you know, this whole baptism, the Holy Spirit thing or whatever. 06:16.560 --> 06:17.800 I don't want people to think I'm weird. 06:18.400 --> 06:19.080 That's flesh. 06:20.400 --> 06:23.360 We are not ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ. 06:23.620 --> 06:26.500 It is the power of God unto salvation. 06:26.780 --> 06:28.620 Salvation means to take the limits off. 06:29.060 --> 06:31.980 You don't operate in the power of God and acknowledge it. 06:32.240 --> 06:33.660 Limits aren't coming off. 06:33.800 --> 06:37.640 I don't care if you did the little prayer at summer camp in 72. 06:38.580 --> 06:40.040 And that's how I know I'm saved. 06:40.680 --> 06:42.160 I did that little prayer, right? 06:42.160 --> 06:44.740 Well, it's the kingdom that moves. 06:44.980 --> 06:49.960 His domain moves in us, shifts things in us, changes things in us, 06:49.960 --> 06:51.900 and brings us into a way of thinking. 06:52.040 --> 06:55.180 But the only thinking that he's bringing us to is the way heaven thinks. 06:55.740 --> 07:01.420 It's always so opposite of how it operates here. 07:02.880 --> 07:04.480 This was ruled by darkness. 07:05.080 --> 07:09.940 And the only way that we can come into the light is get into the heavenly realm 07:09.940 --> 07:11.020 and its way of thinking. 07:12.260 --> 07:17.220 I think it's Ephesians that says Jesus is the enlightenment of man. 07:17.360 --> 07:18.780 Like, he lights it up. 07:19.340 --> 07:21.860 We sing that song, you can light it up. 07:22.000 --> 07:25.720 I mean, it's because if we're in darkness, we think like the world. 07:25.980 --> 07:27.340 It doesn't matter if you're saved or not. 07:27.440 --> 07:29.260 You can still be thinking dark thoughts. 07:29.620 --> 07:32.060 You can still be thinking the way of the world. 07:32.220 --> 07:33.320 There's no light in it. 07:33.880 --> 07:37.200 And all you have to do is shift and come over here to where the light is. 07:38.040 --> 07:41.560 Also, you see stuff you never saw before, but nobody else is seeing it 07:41.560 --> 07:43.020 and makes you feel crazy. 07:44.860 --> 07:45.260 Amen? 07:46.800 --> 07:51.740 I remember being so jazzed in 1981 when I gave my heart to Christ. 07:53.660 --> 07:56.180 We had fight and going on in the home, all kinds of stuff. 07:56.360 --> 07:57.100 It was just chaos. 07:57.540 --> 07:59.320 There was a fire in our home. 07:59.400 --> 08:01.440 My brother, Mike, was almost killed in a car accident. 08:01.880 --> 08:04.620 You know, it's almost like the devil knew, oh, it's coming. 08:05.600 --> 08:07.500 They're about to get into the light. 08:07.980 --> 08:11.020 And so it was just one chaotic thing after the next. 08:11.140 --> 08:14.680 And I remember giving my heart to God and then going back to the church 08:14.680 --> 08:19.300 and they presented the Holy Spirit, which is something heavenly. 08:20.120 --> 08:23.240 I didn't hear about this and I went to church. 08:24.000 --> 08:25.840 I graduated catechism. 08:26.120 --> 08:28.180 I got the little thing and the free Bible. 08:28.560 --> 08:33.520 So I could prove that I graduated, but I knew nothing about the kingdom of heaven 08:33.520 --> 08:39.120 and how it operated or what the plan is here on the earth when it came to the Holy Spirit. 08:39.620 --> 08:44.900 So they presented getting baptized in the Spirit and had us just sit in a circle. 08:45.360 --> 08:47.460 And I remember they said take hands, right? 08:47.660 --> 08:48.580 It was like fire. 08:49.460 --> 08:50.020 It was like fire. 08:50.140 --> 08:54.520 Now this doesn't happen all the time for everybody, but in this situation, 08:54.800 --> 08:58.980 this was a move of God that it was like, bam, when we grabbed hands, 08:59.100 --> 09:00.720 I was like, what is happening? 09:00.720 --> 09:02.860 It was fire. 09:03.960 --> 09:05.880 And that went around that circle. 09:06.240 --> 09:08.900 We got all of us instantly baptized in the Holy Ghost. 09:09.320 --> 09:11.020 And we prayed and we prayed in tongues. 09:11.580 --> 09:13.080 And we prayed some more in tongues and we prayed. 09:13.360 --> 09:14.840 This went on for a long time. 09:15.620 --> 09:19.900 I remember my brother and I going home because we had to get up milked cows the next day, 09:19.960 --> 09:22.120 but I mean it still was like midnight or something crazy. 09:23.020 --> 09:28.720 And we got out of the vehicle and my brother just started singing in tongues. 09:28.720 --> 09:32.680 We had never heard that. Nobody represented that at the church even. 09:32.860 --> 09:36.160 And he was singing in tongues and it was so loud, my dad got up and he was furious. 09:37.600 --> 09:37.800 What? 09:38.760 --> 09:41.560 My blank is going on and on or whatever. 09:42.060 --> 09:45.140 But the joy of the Lord had come on both of us. 09:45.800 --> 09:49.580 We were so filled, so like almost drunk in the spirit, 09:49.820 --> 09:52.720 that you laid in bed and you were like... 09:53.420 --> 09:54.900 And there's nobody there. 09:54.900 --> 09:58.620 You're like, your whole body felt the fire. 10:01.140 --> 10:02.240 That's awesome, right? 10:02.900 --> 10:05.300 Tell that to just anybody and they're like, you're cray-cray. 10:05.420 --> 10:07.200 I don't know what kind of cult you were a part of. 10:07.660 --> 10:09.640 But once you know, you can't not know. 10:10.740 --> 10:12.220 It changed me. 10:14.140 --> 10:15.780 I have not been the same. 10:18.660 --> 10:21.460 And so that's part of it. 10:21.860 --> 10:24.100 And someone told me, well, a cult will change you too. 10:24.100 --> 10:26.220 Yeah, you have to yield to that. 10:26.340 --> 10:27.860 You have to be dominated by that. 10:27.980 --> 10:29.620 You have to get into that. 10:29.920 --> 10:30.940 That's a different thing. 10:31.060 --> 10:32.560 That'll bring bondage but not freedom. 10:34.240 --> 10:36.260 Freedom changes in that way. 10:36.340 --> 10:39.080 And there's a big difference between cultic activity 10:39.080 --> 10:42.280 and coming into something where you feel like you can gain power 10:42.280 --> 10:45.000 and after a while you realize everyone's controlling you. 10:45.940 --> 10:46.640 That's a cult. 10:48.380 --> 10:51.420 So I'm saying this because 10:52.500 --> 10:54.720 just what we're going to be talking about in service 10:54.720 --> 10:58.520 but also in your life when you go to witness to people 10:58.520 --> 11:00.660 you follow the spirit, what you say. 11:00.840 --> 11:03.100 I don't start out telling people that story. 11:03.800 --> 11:07.900 That was the least actually of what has happened with me in my life 11:07.900 --> 11:10.480 and experiences with God and it was intense. 11:11.160 --> 11:13.580 I don't start out witnessing with that story. 11:13.940 --> 11:17.320 You share with wisdom but I'm not ashamed of it. 11:20.680 --> 11:22.300 I'm not ashamed of what he did. 11:23.140 --> 11:24.960 I won't deny what he did. 11:25.600 --> 11:27.780 I'm not going to get religious about it, what he did. 11:27.880 --> 11:29.840 I'm not going to say, well, that was for that time. 11:30.140 --> 11:32.860 That was for a special reason or any of that type of stuff. 11:33.420 --> 11:35.680 And so the flesh wants to do that 11:35.680 --> 11:37.880 because the flesh likes to protect itself. 11:38.980 --> 11:40.620 Flesh does not like persecution. 11:45.610 --> 11:47.610 All we were doing last night, right, Paul? 11:47.930 --> 11:51.610 I just was talking about when the presence of God is in a place 11:51.610 --> 11:53.490 sometimes demons manifest. 11:54.110 --> 11:57.650 Bam! Right at that moment somebody spoke up nice and loud 11:58.290 --> 12:00.490 and it was a manifestation of a demon. 12:01.990 --> 12:04.670 Right? Now some people will think that's so weird. 12:04.890 --> 12:07.970 That's God moving. That's God moving. 12:08.690 --> 12:13.850 And I'm saying all this because what we represent this morning 12:13.850 --> 12:18.070 we're going to be representing what was presented to us 12:18.070 --> 12:19.010 by the Holy Spirit. 12:20.910 --> 12:23.270 And, you know, we've got so many videos because 12:23.270 --> 12:25.010 and we're not playing them all this morning. 12:25.030 --> 12:27.210 I mean, we got just a lot of footage and the reason is 12:27.210 --> 12:30.330 the Lord said to make a way to record everything. 12:30.570 --> 12:32.490 That's when they had those little flip cameras, 12:32.710 --> 12:34.530 those little, Felicia and I had one 12:34.530 --> 12:36.230 and we were like on everything, you know. 12:36.590 --> 12:39.350 And thank God, thank God she did a lot of the filming 12:39.350 --> 12:41.230 and editing and stuff like that 12:41.230 --> 12:43.170 and they didn't have the stuff we have now. 12:44.990 --> 12:47.970 And because of that, we're able to go back 12:47.970 --> 12:50.030 and see what actually happened because, you know, 12:50.050 --> 12:51.790 sometimes you remember something a certain way 12:51.790 --> 12:53.770 and then if you played the video, you're like, 12:53.810 --> 12:56.210 oh, I thought it was like this, right? 12:56.330 --> 12:58.870 So it's good to get things down 12:58.870 --> 13:02.130 so you can represent them the correct way. 13:02.310 --> 13:03.650 You're not adding anything to it 13:03.650 --> 13:05.250 and you're not subtracting anything away. 13:06.050 --> 13:13.150 I'm saying this because we all need an encounter with God. 13:14.130 --> 13:16.230 And when you have an encounter with God, 13:16.230 --> 13:20.570 one of the purposes for it is that you've experienced him 13:20.570 --> 13:25.710 so that you can go represent that to somebody else, right? 13:26.790 --> 13:29.450 Now if your only experience with God 13:29.450 --> 13:31.790 is that you were taught so now you teach 13:31.790 --> 13:33.710 and then you're taught and now you teach 13:33.710 --> 13:35.310 and then you'll get something done. 13:35.850 --> 13:39.570 It'll be a piece of something, right? 13:39.750 --> 13:41.050 It's not that nothing happens 13:41.050 --> 13:43.450 through someone who's taught and taught 13:43.450 --> 13:45.830 and everybody's listening and, 13:45.950 --> 13:47.390 okay, all right, I got you, right? 13:47.750 --> 13:49.590 The thing that comes out of that, though, 13:49.830 --> 13:52.050 is when you're just taught and taught and taught, 13:52.310 --> 13:53.110 nobody does. 13:54.210 --> 13:56.170 Nobody goes out and is the doer 13:56.630 --> 13:58.910 because the expectation is just to be taught. 14:00.030 --> 14:02.990 That's what a lot of churches have done and are doing. 14:03.350 --> 14:08.050 It's safe. We just stay in that zone of the teaching, right? 14:09.650 --> 14:12.050 And so then you don't see a lot of other things 14:12.050 --> 14:13.710 operating through people in the church 14:13.710 --> 14:15.330 because unless your teacher and your mind 14:15.880 --> 14:17.710 works like a teacher and your gifting is a teacher, 14:17.930 --> 14:18.830 what's there for you to do? 14:21.010 --> 14:21.330 Right? 14:22.430 --> 14:24.610 But when the Spirit of God comes 14:24.610 --> 14:26.190 and he lights up all the gifts 14:26.820 --> 14:28.850 and the five-fold are operating, 14:29.050 --> 14:30.810 see, one of the priorities coming into 14:30.810 --> 14:33.810 open heavens is to make sure 14:33.810 --> 14:36.150 there's a balance of five-fold in the house. 14:36.610 --> 14:37.890 We got some prophets coming, 14:37.890 --> 14:40.290 but there needs to be a representation 14:40.290 --> 14:42.250 of the five-fold operating. 14:43.110 --> 14:45.010 When you go after, you know, 14:45.070 --> 14:47.870 making a specific where going after, 14:48.030 --> 14:49.430 we want to see heaven come down. 14:49.710 --> 14:52.450 Well, you also need to have the five-fold in the house 14:52.950 --> 14:55.610 to keep order, to keep things moving, 14:55.990 --> 14:57.570 to see it from a prophet's angle, 14:57.670 --> 14:59.170 to see it from an evangelist's angle. 14:59.270 --> 15:00.030 You see what I'm saying? 15:00.950 --> 15:03.690 So many times religions water down things, 15:03.830 --> 15:05.610 not really representing the kingdom, right? 15:05.970 --> 15:09.850 So we'll have a gift, a gift that'll be operating. 15:09.850 --> 15:12.150 So I'm dealing with a couple things this morning 15:12.150 --> 15:13.650 because I know someone's watching online 15:13.650 --> 15:15.650 that had the question of, you know, 15:15.750 --> 15:18.490 I love our pastor, but it's the same message 15:18.490 --> 15:20.530 just from different angles all the time. 15:20.670 --> 15:22.390 So I said, tell me what the message is. 15:22.870 --> 15:25.370 God has a plan for your life, right? 15:25.550 --> 15:26.090 Good message. 15:27.510 --> 15:28.890 He has a plan for you 15:28.890 --> 15:30.590 and you need to get born again. 15:30.950 --> 15:32.930 I said, that's not a pastor, that's an evangelist. 15:34.850 --> 15:38.210 And you have an evangelist in the pastor's spot. 15:38.210 --> 15:40.330 Now, you can be a pastoral evangelist, 15:40.410 --> 15:43.550 but then you better bring in other five-fold people 15:43.550 --> 15:46.410 to balance out the church, right? 15:47.490 --> 15:52.170 And so if pastor and I didn't work apostolically here, 15:52.590 --> 15:54.510 the establishing of the church will get funky. 15:55.990 --> 15:58.310 The evangelist would say, it needs to go this way 15:58.310 --> 15:59.610 and this one would say it needs to go. 15:59.970 --> 16:01.170 You have to have an apostle. 16:01.430 --> 16:04.530 You have to have apostles operating to oversee the whole thing, 16:04.670 --> 16:07.190 making sure all the giftings have place 16:07.190 --> 16:09.610 and they're all speaking into it for balance. 16:09.750 --> 16:12.990 So that's part of what God's been doing in this body. 16:13.070 --> 16:15.590 And you know that poise is us for something bigger? 16:17.650 --> 16:19.490 That's brought us to a point where it's like, 16:19.610 --> 16:22.990 oh man, we thought some stuff happened before, 16:23.430 --> 16:24.770 something bigger is going to happen 16:25.470 --> 16:28.890 because all the gifts are operating in the house. 16:29.270 --> 16:30.170 See what I'm saying? 16:32.210 --> 16:35.990 And so we are privileged to have the speakers coming in 16:35.990 --> 16:39.470 that are going to be here this year. 16:40.370 --> 16:42.270 We don't know how this whole thing is going to go, 16:42.350 --> 16:43.830 but we need to be praying on it 16:44.350 --> 16:47.410 and not trying to force it to go one way or the other. 16:48.350 --> 16:50.110 You know, because sometimes you had an experience 16:50.110 --> 16:51.890 and you want to go back and have that experience again. 16:52.330 --> 16:55.110 Well God, he might want to do something totally over here 16:55.470 --> 16:57.750 and we were like, but I like that thing we did last time. 16:57.970 --> 16:59.830 We're not doing that, right? 17:00.090 --> 17:02.490 And nor are we coming in and doing the thing 17:02.490 --> 17:07.170 where we're waiting on the speakers to direct everything. 17:07.910 --> 17:09.670 No, we're already coming in prayed up. 17:10.390 --> 17:12.570 We are already in the spot like 17:12.570 --> 17:14.890 whether speakers show up or not, the heavens are open. 17:15.910 --> 17:17.230 Like, well, they couldn't make it. 17:17.350 --> 17:18.510 I guess we're having church. 17:19.050 --> 17:19.610 You know what I'm saying? 17:19.950 --> 17:21.510 It's not based on the speakers, 17:21.710 --> 17:25.290 although their gifting is going to light up certain areas 17:25.290 --> 17:26.990 where we're going to see things 17:26.990 --> 17:29.130 and it'll be like a puzzle piece that's been missing. 17:30.130 --> 17:32.030 I want you to have the right expectation 17:32.030 --> 17:33.230 when we're going into this. 17:33.910 --> 17:37.690 So now to go back and look at what happened, 17:37.790 --> 17:39.350 that's what we're going to be doing here. 17:39.850 --> 17:41.570 What we're going to be doing this morning 17:41.570 --> 17:43.330 when we look at what happened 17:43.330 --> 17:47.190 is just a part of revival that happened in the modular. 17:47.770 --> 17:49.530 We've had revival stuff in Colorado. 17:49.990 --> 17:51.470 I got saved in revival. 17:52.210 --> 17:55.910 We've had revival stuff happen in home groups 17:55.910 --> 17:56.810 and things like that. 17:56.810 --> 18:00.150 It's not like this was the thing, right? 18:00.250 --> 18:02.610 But this is what we have footage of, all right? 18:03.050 --> 18:04.770 And what God decides to do some, 18:05.190 --> 18:08.390 He does it in an outpouring way 18:08.390 --> 18:10.030 when He does it as a group. 18:10.170 --> 18:12.770 And then there's other times that He'll do... 18:12.770 --> 18:14.150 I mean, revival can be two people 18:14.150 --> 18:15.110 who get saved here this morning. 18:15.750 --> 18:19.710 For them, they were being revived, right? 18:20.810 --> 18:21.590 Is that what I'm saying? 18:21.990 --> 18:23.570 We have to have clear thinking about this. 18:23.570 --> 18:26.090 So now when things are represented, 18:27.170 --> 18:30.670 it stirs up what happened before. 18:30.870 --> 18:31.630 It stirs up hope. 18:31.790 --> 18:33.250 It stirs up just the same way. 18:33.630 --> 18:35.070 Stir up the gift that's already in you. 18:36.150 --> 18:37.450 You're not using it right now. 18:37.570 --> 18:39.730 You're not in it right now. 18:39.870 --> 18:41.250 You're conflicted or whatever. 18:41.490 --> 18:43.630 And God said, stir up what's already in you. 18:44.330 --> 18:45.590 Get that thing going again. 18:45.850 --> 18:47.090 Because what's already there 18:47.090 --> 18:49.130 is enough to take care of whatever you need. 18:50.230 --> 18:52.270 Because we tend to, in the flesh, 18:52.270 --> 18:54.390 forget so quickly. 18:55.010 --> 18:57.070 That's why you can have conference junkies 18:57.070 --> 18:58.950 where they went and they had something. 18:59.810 --> 19:00.610 And then it was like, 19:00.770 --> 19:02.730 okay, that worked for a couple of days. 19:02.850 --> 19:04.130 I need to go to another place. 19:04.590 --> 19:06.190 And that'll work for a couple of days. 19:06.850 --> 19:09.250 I had an encounter with God in 1981, 19:09.250 --> 19:10.990 and it carried me for a long time. 19:14.680 --> 19:17.420 So here's the other thing that we need to understand. 19:18.240 --> 19:20.780 Encounters are meant for outpouring moments 19:20.780 --> 19:23.340 so that you can walk through a situation 19:23.340 --> 19:26.040 and get up and do the thing you encountered him for. 19:27.420 --> 19:29.580 It's not a feel-good moment, right? 19:29.760 --> 19:32.280 We'll talk about that this morning also. 19:32.440 --> 19:34.420 But I wanted to put it in the prayer time 19:34.420 --> 19:37.180 because we got prayer and intercession coming up 19:37.180 --> 19:38.740 for the open heaven meetings. 19:39.780 --> 19:41.060 Yeah, yeah, right? 19:41.400 --> 19:42.480 But you go, okay, let's pray. 19:42.580 --> 19:42.900 And people go, 19:45.380 --> 19:46.900 what were we gonna say, right? 19:47.260 --> 19:48.360 So you pray in the spirit. 19:48.480 --> 19:49.560 If you know not what to pray, 19:49.680 --> 19:50.600 then you pray in the spirit 19:50.600 --> 19:51.840 till he gives you what to pray. 19:51.840 --> 19:53.620 But you should have an expectation 19:53.620 --> 19:55.040 of what we're looking for. 19:55.500 --> 19:58.180 We're looking for an outpouring of the spirit. 19:58.240 --> 20:01.660 We're looking for the heavenlies to come down. 20:02.240 --> 20:04.760 And we go, aha, I've seen that before. 20:05.020 --> 20:05.920 And for a lot of people, 20:06.100 --> 20:08.840 I've never seen that till now, right? 20:09.640 --> 20:11.740 We're looking for that to happen. 20:12.040 --> 20:14.740 And in that, a big portion of what happened, 20:14.820 --> 20:16.740 like when I got saved in 1981, 20:17.220 --> 20:19.100 there were 25 preachers 20:19.100 --> 20:21.440 that came out of that revival within three months. 20:22.600 --> 20:23.860 25, we counted them. 20:24.240 --> 20:25.260 They're either on the mission field. 20:25.400 --> 20:26.800 One is in Germany right now, 20:26.880 --> 20:28.020 just rocking it for Reema. 20:29.340 --> 20:30.800 You know, we didn't even know what Reema was, 20:31.080 --> 20:32.780 but somehow he got into that. 20:33.180 --> 20:37.460 I mean, it came out of a small little church. 20:38.340 --> 20:39.940 But the point of it, 20:40.120 --> 20:41.400 the point of the revival 20:41.880 --> 20:44.580 was to get people changed up, 20:44.920 --> 20:46.400 see the kingdom of heaven, 20:46.400 --> 20:49.760 get that operating through the kingdom of God in them, 20:49.880 --> 20:51.660 and let him rule that thing 20:51.660 --> 20:53.440 and then go do what he asked you to do. 20:54.060 --> 20:55.880 And we'll talk about that this morning also. 20:56.620 --> 20:58.580 So then how do you pray on that? 20:58.860 --> 21:00.120 If you pray a selfish prayer, 21:00.720 --> 21:02.100 it's going to be for an experience. 21:02.620 --> 21:03.540 I just want to experience it. 21:03.620 --> 21:04.500 We don't know what's going to happen. 21:04.600 --> 21:05.300 It'll be so cool. 21:06.100 --> 21:07.400 We'll come and we'll have an experience. 21:08.020 --> 21:09.760 Experience doesn't really mean anything 21:10.240 --> 21:12.600 unless there's a do thing at the end of it. 21:15.760 --> 21:16.160 Yeah. 21:17.140 --> 21:19.120 I'm not all for, you know, 21:19.300 --> 21:20.720 being in the prayer line every... 21:20.720 --> 21:22.340 I mean, you might have to do that for a bit 21:22.340 --> 21:23.760 to get healed of something or whatever. 21:24.140 --> 21:26.420 But somewhere there needs to be a change 21:26.420 --> 21:28.040 that that is not your Christian life. 21:28.980 --> 21:30.740 Where, you know, everywhere I go, 21:30.860 --> 21:32.380 I got a prophecy, everywhere I go. 21:33.100 --> 21:35.240 When does the inside of us grow 21:35.240 --> 21:37.140 to the point that we hear from God?
