Bill Johnson talks about how to reignite your relationship with God and position yourself for revival. Sharing an example from the movie, ‘Rocky 3’, Bill teaches the need to go back to the ‘old gym’, remembering the sacrifices and ‘training’ that brought you into the favor and breakthrough you walk in today. Remember your first love and refuse to level off in your relationship with the Lord. Breakthrough brings favor, but with favor can come the temptation to become complacent and comfortable in your relationship with God. If you will keep your heart yielded to the Lord and hungry for Him, you will be positioned and ready for revival. Subscribe for weekly videos: https://bit.ly/bjmYoutube

we hunger for not just routine and
formula we hunger for the reality of
presence the glory of God the days that
are directly ahead of us if we’ll yield
to it will be demonstrations of the
glory of God unlike anything we’ve ever
seen or heard of before it will rewrite
our understanding of God’s intentions in
the
Earth all
right is it still morning yes it is good
morning nice to see you
guys it is just wonderful to have humans
in the
room it’s it it is amazing I I’ve told
you in recent weeks I have discovered I
am addicted to
humans and it’s a very serious
addiction it’s uh it’s so good to be
here I
uh how many of you remember when you
were kids and they would sing that
little song liar liar pants on fire
anybody remember that I saw a meme again
this week that I thought was worth
repeating it said if Liar’s pants really
caught on fire the news would be more
fun to
[Laughter]
watch that’s one I wish I would have
made up I wish I could take credit for
that one all right in fact i’ record
it
I better stop right there before I get
in any more trouble why don’t you open
your Bibles
to the Gospel of Luke chapter 10 and
then uh we’re not going to read the poem
uh Sunday the the story although it
would certainly be worthy of our time
it’s just the the time that we have and
and what I feel I needed to do but what
I want to do is just take you on a
mental Journey Back to the Gospel of
John so just just walk through this with
me in chapter
11 Lazarus is
resurrected the beginning of chapter 12
Mary takes the costly ointment and pours
it over
Jesus following that is the triumphal
entry where people lay down clothing and
palm branches as Jesus enters the city
don’t ever never underestimate the value
of Abandonment in your worship and how
it affects and impacts the atmosphere
and climate of an entire
city it was following that Priceless act
of worship that we have people crying
out hosana passion translat passion
translation
says Jesus be our savior hosana be our
savior an entire atmosphere of City
changes I’d like to suggest in response
to an offering of one person because it
was everything it impacted the
atmosphere of a
city we’re going to move from that into
the subject of prayer which has been um
been on my mind a lot just from what the
Lord’s doing here I had somebody say to
me I I want Reformation not Revival
of course you
do we always want a resurrection without
a
cross Revival is where we experience the
Holiness of God the power of God and
it’s costly to live in it it’s where you
die it’s where I’ve watched as people
have said yes to what God was doing in
them and it cost them everything I
watched years ago 25 years ago last
month when an outpouring began here and
family members left in some state it
cost them everything they had to make a
decision whether or not they wanted the
more of God or they wanted something
else I don’t say that to in any way
point a finger criticize anyone who
would have left because that’s that’s
not the intent and and a lot of really
good people left for whatever my point
is is that Revival is expensive moves of
God are expensive they are
costly it requires people to
die and see what Revival does is it
introduces you to the Holiness and the
power of God where
Reformation introduces you to the mind
and heart of
God and what happens in Revival in
Revival you’re yet yes is so significant
significant and so big that you obtain
favor with God at a new level now I
understand everybody has favor but do
you understand that favor grows it can
grow or decline and well-used favor is
the way you increase favor but here’s
the point the Lord said that when we
have found favor with God he makes even
our enemies to be at peace with us the
point is is that the way you get you
obtain favor with man is by first
obtaining favor with God when you pursue
the favor of man instead of the favor of
God you get neither you get political
agreement you get social interaction but
you don’t get favor the kind that shapes
history if I pursue the favor of men and
I’ve watched people compromise their
testimony in order to obtain favor with
man but it’s not the kind of favor that
will change the shape the course of
history what the Lord has called us to
is honestly to be a people that
experience the ongoing fires of Revival
the costly experience of saying yes to
God Chris shared a word with us uh
couple months ago and it’s it’s been
echoing in my heart and mind for quite a
while in fact Andrew Mason uh sent a
little video clip it’s of the Rocky 3
movie and uh I’m not even Danny silk and
I’m talking to you about movies I of
course if I were as good as Danny I’d
have the clip up here for you
but um it it really is a moving scene
it’s really affected me uh deeply this
scene Let Me Take You Through It Rocky 3
he’s wealthy he’s powerful he’s
successful he’s had 10 fights where he’s
fought young guys coming up and he beat
them all and he wants to fight this one
guy that he’s heard of this upand
cominging fighter who is so hungry and
he goes to his trainer he says I want
you to train me for one more fight and
he says I won’t do it I quit and he says
what do do you mean says you’ll lose
what do you mean I’ll lose I beat all
these 10 people he says they were
handpicked he says you mean those fights
were raed he says no you beat him but
they were handpicked and he goes on in
this dialogue and he
says he says well I want to fight this
guy and I want you to train me again he
says he’ll kill you to death which is
the worst kind of death is to be killed
all the way to death but that’s what he
says in the move he says he’ll kill you
to death you will lose and so the Scene
goes on and on they have this exchange
finally the music dials down into this
this very mellow uh score and they sit
down on a couch together and the trainer
turns to Rocky because Rocky asks him
how come how come you say I won’t win
and he says this one
line the trainer says we’ve become too
civilized we’ve become too civilized you
see
favor gives you opportunity to
settle and it’s not that the favor is
wrong it’s not that the favor is isn’t a
gift from God it’s just it serves a
purpose different than what we are
accustomed to what typically happens is
people pay this great price for Revival
they experience the move of God they see
the Miracles I tell you what I would
have come today for that
song in fact as far as I’m concerned we
can start with that and end with that I
just for two hours Let’s just sing that
song I’m already a mess I cried my eyes
out first service and I’m still a little
bit damaged I’m damaged merchandise from
that song so good wow don’t tell me he
can’t do
[Applause]
it don’t don’t tell me he can’t do come
on you know
Hotel
back east and just two weeks ago week
and a half ago and a gal who worked at
the hotel behind the desk one of the I
think managers or
whatever she
said I’m
concerned I fear she said for the people
who who listen to
you because that we were talking about
what God is doing and and I I believe
that God is still doing in fact don’t
tell me he doesn’t do that stuff that’s
that’s what I’m saying and she was
saying that he doesn’t do that anymore
and she said I fear for you and I said
well I fear for
you and so when I checked out she
followed me she says why do you fear for
me I said because You’ made it spiritual
to disobey Jesus he’s the one who said
heal the
sick raise the
Dead cast out
Devils cleanse the LEP
so what if you stink at it you don’t
have the right to change the
assignment our conversation was
hospitable so I well when you hear one
side it it and and I don’t I don’t mean
to do that it wasn’t dishonoring but it
was
honest what happens is
people die so to speak they say
no to everything in their life and yes
to God and something takes place where
things happen that you’ve only dreamed
about things that I I never knew I’d get
to see my lifetime and yet I get to see
them and and I’ve seen just in the last
couple weeks hundreds and hundreds of
people been completely healed set free
from so many different things hundreds
of people seeing what I never know i’
never knew I’d get to
see but what happens is it opens up
favor which is a a gift from
God the challenge is favor opens up
doors that you’re not supposed to go
through I know it opens right doors too
so anything I say today you will have
the opportunity to completely
abuse I I I say just enough to give
permission to people to be weirder than
they already are so if that’s your bent
I will give you permission today but
it’s worth the risk because maybe
somebody will get it right
so here favor brings you into this place
of blessing of breakthrough of things
happening that you’ve never seen happen
before suddenly start moving into
Reformation which is what it’s where
Life Works people want their families to
be healthy they want their businesses to
succeed they want the educational system
to actually function well they want
children to grow up with dreams and all
these things are a part of reformation
well what happens in Reformation you get
favor why cuz life
works but what happens as we
forget that in that season of favor it’s
easy to become too civilized and forget
what got you there forget that it was
the painful yes it was the yes to
everything else it was the willingness
it was the willingness to be ostracized
criticized abused all all the stuff I I
hardly ever ever ever talk about this
stuff but I’m I’m I’m feeling something
so strong in this season not just today
but in this season we have we have
prayer meetings out
there cold oh goodness a couple weeks
ago how did it get so warm all of a
sudden I somebody’s prayer
worked I’ll I’ll call you next time
we’re in need I’ll tell you man one of
the last ones I was in was so cold fact
that was in the school of ministry
teaching I was freezing wrapped up I
should have had a big old goose down
blank uh Sleeping Bag around me mummy
you know talking out the top of it just
freezing but you know what I kind of
like it I I I’m not into self-punishment
self-abasement call it
spiritual but something’s happening
right now where I feel like I I really
don’t want to make anything easy for
anybody I’m not into punishment I’m not
into any of that stuff but I just I
remember Weaverville we had a prayer
meeting it started at 11: at night
because I didn’t want to make it
easy if you wanted to pray starts at 11:
show up
and I’m I’m sorry but I’m in that mood
again I just feel like I feel like I
know what it’s like to work out in the
old gym and I also know what it’s like
to stay in the five-star
hotel and I’m thankful for the
journey but I fear what happens if we
forget what got us
here and sometimes you just need to
train in the old gym
sometimes it’s just it’s just the
hardcore inconvenience it’s the it’s the
no to everything but what God’s doing in
this absolute moment is worth my entire
life because what happens is Cy Keith
gave us an example years ago how many
how many of you were here when cledy
Keith was here oh not very many oh well
well blame cledy if you don’t like the
example I’m not a gambler and he used a
gambling example so I’ll just blame him
he’s such a great man but he talks about
you know you you start with so little in
life these chips and you put them all to
the middle of the table and then you win
and you got this pile of chips well it’s
time to put them all in the middle of
the table again and you keep winning and
you don’t ever want to find that place
where you level off and live off of your
most recent breakthrough but you
continue to invest in what might be
possible that the world has never
seen think about this the Lord has
promised to do a new thing is it
possible
he is actually thinking of a new
thing is it possible that he’s actually
thinking of something that’s not been
done
before see the way things work
throughout Revival history is he pours
out his Spirit upon people who usually
don’t know anything they don’t know
enough to resist I mean it’s true you
read history it’s true just a bunch of
young people just started praying
they just started walking the street
they didn’t know enough to know how God
moves they just got so hungry they were
unwilling to live without it and they
began to pray I remember when I was
teenager here my late teens early
20s I remember about 18 19 years old
we’d asked for the keys to the church
just so we could come and pray all night
we just get people together just pray we
didn’t know what we were doing our
prayers were pretty
pitiful you know I I we didn’t know the
the effect of worship we didn’t know the
effect of anything of that stuff but we
had seen caught a glimpse of what might
be possible In Our Lifetime and we just
meant to pray we just did the best we
knew how we stayed there all night we
prayed we asked God to do something
significant we’re in that moment
again in Luke chapter 10 I almost
forgot I’m going to blame it on the
song don’t tell me he can’t do
[Laughter]
it it happened verse 38 it happened they
that they entered a certain Village
certain woman named Martha welcomed him
into her house she had a sister called
Mary who also sat at the feet of Jesus
and heard his word this is the one who
really in some ways ushered in a
movement in Jerusalem through her
sacrificial
worship she said at Jesus’s feet and
heard his word but Martha was distracted
with much serving say that with me
Martha was distracted with much
serving you know you’ve heard the
statement that good is the enemy of best
and if ever there was an illustration
for that it was here Martha was
distracted with
serving
busyness is artificial
significance it gives you the
illusion of
importance some of our greatest
accomplishments actually come out of
rest if we knew that we’d fight for it
more Martha was distracted with much
serving I’ve heard people say
if we didn’t have Martha in the church
nothing would ever get
done that statement was invented by a
Martha who needed to
legitimize her labors that Jesus never
instructed dick Joyce our dear friend
dick Joyce who’s in heaven now would say
Martha was making sandwiches or tacos as
he would say tacos that Jesus never
ordered she was distracted with much
serving
and she was wanting to pass her gift of
distraction under her
sister most people who have dysfunction
want to
share okay let’s just read it you can
see it for yourself verse 40 Martha was
distracted with much serving she
approached him saying Lord do you not
care that my sister left me to serve
alone therefore tell her to help me
that’s awesome I just thought first
service this morning wouldn’t it be good
to do a bible study on all the bad
counsel that people gave
Jesus like when Peter said man don’t die
that’s not a good plan don’t die here’s
another good one right here tell her to
help me Jesus answered and said to her
Martha Martha you are worried and
troubled about so many things but one
thing is needed Mary has chosen a good
part which will not be taken away from
her my goodness I’d like to suggest that
it was that one thing right there that
impacted the climate the atmosphere of
an entire city that brought in what we
celebrate today Palm Sunday chapter 11
verse one it came to pass as he was
praying in a certain place when he
ceased that one of his disciples said to
him Lord teach us to pray as John also
taught his disciples to pray stop right
there for just a moment we’ll read
through it you’re very familiar with the
prayer but just walk through this with
me for a moment the disciples I don’t
know of any other thing they asked Jesus
to teach
them now let’s put ourselves in their
shoes if you see him multiply food if
you see Jesus walk on water if you see
Jesus raise the dead if you see Jesus
Cal Storms there probably would have
been a lot of things on my list I would
have had him teach me but for some
reason all that stuff in their mind they
could trace back to this one thing wow
and the only time they asked for Jesus
to teach them was in this verse where he
said teach us to
pray there’s a place where John the
Baptist is beheaded he’s
killed and they uh they come and report
it to Jesus and Jesus is impacted
remember he has all the same feelings
and temptations that we as as people
have although his was without sin but he
still experiences the disappointment the
loss those kind kinds of things to deal
with I I personally think uh that Joseph
probably died
prematurely um because you don’t see him
in the picture later in life uh it was
something that Jesus had to walk through
but at least in this case we see John
the Baptist dies Jesus looks for a place
to Pray by himself he searches for a
place to Pray by himself but the crowds
follow him and When the Crowds follow
him he’s he’s torn and so he’s moved
with compassion he ministers to the
crowd but then he comes to the place
where he has to go pray and he sends
them away the crowd and he goes up to a
mountain to pray what the disciples
noticed is when he came down from the
mountain every single person that was
sick in the crowd got healed so they are
seeing the Miracles but they’re not
asking teach me the Miracles they’re
asking teach me to pray because in their
observation there was one source for all
the stuff they achd for there was one
source that Drew the crowds there was
one source that set the standard for
Everything Jesus was and everything that
Jesus did and taught and it was prayer
and so they said teach us to pray and so
Jesus taught them a prayer that is
commonly called The Lord’s Prayer not
real accurate title because it’s not a
prayer he could have prayed because in
it is the confession of sin and he had
none but go through the prayer with me
in verse two so he said to them when you
pray say our father in heaven Hallowed
Be Your Name Your Kingdom Come your will
be done on Earth as it is in heaven give
us this day our daily bread forgive us
our sins as we also forgive everyone who
is indebted to us and do not lead us
into temptation but Deliver Us from the
evil one okay stop right
there sometimes familiar
arity almost creates a resistance to the
freshness that God has
on a particular
passage sometimes I’ll get a different
Bible so I see it on a different part of
the page often times I’ll get a
different translation I’ve got to do
something to jar my my sense of oh I
know it’s here I I’ve got to I’ve got to
change that sense that I actually know
what he’s talking about and come back as
a child to relearn again I I think it’s
I think it’s one of the safest ways that
we walk with Jesus is to do whatever we
can to stop at the heart places
re-examine have the word examine us and
so here we have this incredible prayer
this prayer if you can look at it this
way is a
template that reveals the values of God
if there would be some way that we could
take this prayer and put it as a
template over our thinking what would
happen is it would shape the kinds of
values that are natural for us to have
stirred up inside of us it’s like this
this template this pattern anything that
doesn’t survive that template shouldn’t
be in our life in the first place he
gives us this prayer and this prayer I
like what Jack Hayford says about this
prayer he said he said this prayer is
not a formula for
repetition worship is to be longer than
a sentence petitions are not confined to
bread forgiveness is to be requested in
specifics not
generalities prayer for the entry of
God’s Kingdom into present earthborn
situations is not accomplished in a
momentary utterance the whole point is
is this is much more than a prayer that
is recited it is a template it is a
pattern for prayer yes but for values
for
thinking because our our it’s it’s our
if you could look at it this way this
pattern for Thought gets where the mind
of Christ becomes evident in us and out
of our own Christlike nature we think
think what he thinks and we pray what he
would pray if he were standing in our
shoes not just religiously so we know
enough to make ourselves dangerous we
know for example there’s no cancer in
heaven so automatically there shouldn’t
be any cancer here is that true it is
absolutely true but how do you pray to
get rid of it it’s the part that’s not
asked as as we we come out of just guns
blazing thinking that we know exactly
how to deal when we don’t always because
Jesus every situation he handled
differently because he’s paying
attention to the father it wasn’t that
he needed to figure out is it the
father’s will to heal this blind person
that was a given that’s why he healed
every person who came to him he just
needed to know how ah this one I spin in
the dirt I put mud in the eyes and then
I tell him to go find this
Lake sounds like the most cruel way to
get a blind guy
healed but he he never does anything out
of Cruelty he always does stuff to build
something in us and and in this guy who
had to rely on other people who knows
the issues of his life but he had to
rely on other people to get to that pool
of silom so he could cleanse his eyes to
discover he could see it was a process
that built a man and the Lord has
invited us into a relational Journey
where his value system as revealed in
that
prayer kingdom of God come fact Jack
Taylor taught us this years ago he said
it’s not actually a ition the original
language isn’t uh you know God we want
your kingdom to come it wasn’t a
petition it’s a decree it’s kingdom of
God
come will of God be done it’s the
absolute confidence that this is the
heart and mind of God and living with
that that template over our thinking
changes our options changes how we
approach any given problem kingdom of
God
come it’s the the absolute cry for the
expressed realized felt discovered
measurable lordship of Jesus in any
given
situation when we pray for the kingdom
to come we’re not praying about heaven
we’re praying about the reality of the
lordship of Jesus to be felt and
realized
here the rest of the prayer various
petitions that are all important
obviously
but what I’m feeling in this particular
day is I’ve I’ve I’ve watched now this
is we are soon to be going into my 48th
year in
Ministry and I’ve seen the waves of
prayer I’ve seen the waves of
breakthrough and I’ve seen the
settling into to the favor that
breakthrough
provides and the biggest
danger to
Me Maybe for
me is to settle
into the
favor that breakthrough
provides see see the problem is is
Revival you get opposed you get used to
it Reformation you start getting favor
you get used to
it and it’s just easy to
forsake what got you here what got you
here it was the fire of God’s presence
what got you here it was the risky
obedience what got you here it was the
fasting the cries the all nights in
prayer what got you here it was that
stuff but now we’re in breakthrough I
know but I feel like I’ve got to get
back to the old
gym
I it it feels like it feels like I’m it
almost feels like I’m not allowed to
function out of what I’ve
learned that’s probably not 100% true so
just take it as a thought it it it feels
at least in measure that I’m not allowed
to live from what I learned up to this
point it almost feels like a child that
for the first time has picked up a
baseball bat again a child who for the
first time has picked up a tool or
whatever it might be and the point is is
relearning things his way
because the fires of Revival were never
meant to be abandoned for the greater
thing because when the fire is abandoned
for reformation the Reformation is
shortlived it’s the cross it’s the it’s
the willingness to to to withstand
whatever comes whatever comes I’m I’m
going to obey Jesus it doesn’t matter
what I’m going to be kind I’m going to
be honoring I’m going to do whatever I’m
supposed to do I’m going to make sure
that I protect and guard my
relationships but bottom line
is I’ll do what he says
yeah and I know what it is to pay that
price I know what that one looks
like
and I don’t want to have the t-shirt
that says been there done
that the
way I don’t know if this is making sense
to anybody else it it’s I I may be
talking to me this morning I had about
three things I felt to talk about and
I’ve been confused all day
so sometimes you get it right sometimes
you just you know it’s just goulash you
just take everything in the kitchen put
it in a
pan and heat it
up yeah thanks I’m I’m not looking for
but thank you I’ll I’ll take I’ll take
whatever I’m I’m processing Chris’s
thing is jumping on me I’m processing
out loud so I’ll blame I’ll blame Chris
here I got to get on this side over here
maybe maybe D say help
me I don’t want to externally no there’s
several things I do not want externally
process I said I saw I saw one thing he
said you want to walk in my a mile in my
shoes that would be
boring spend 30 seconds in my head
that’ll scare you to
death not me that’s uh somebody else
that’s so here here we’re repositioning
for a next season it is different it’s
just different I don’t know what it’s
going to look like I mean I I believe
that all the things we’ve been able to
experience expence and see and witness I
I just believe they continue I’ve not
seen any slowdown anywhere where I’ve
been going it’s only
increasing but I also have this sneaky
sense that
um the simple is
better simple is
better
simple
if your eye is single your body will be
full of light Jesus said if your eyes is
single the word singles is the number
one the word Voyage if your ey is set on
one reason for being alive it’ll affect
everything about you and I feel like the
Lord’s L us Taste of so many wonderful
things and I’m thankful for every one of
them but it just feels to me like at
least for me I have I’ve been finding my
way to the old gym
again
just yeah the
tears cried my eyes out for service of
that song don’t tell
me don’t tell me he can’t do it
gez I it couldn’t have had a better song
for me
today I probably should have just sat in
the front row and just had them sing
that for about 45 minutes and that would
have
been clear clear enough
message I want you to stand because
we’re going to pray and talk as we pray
and wrap this
up I
guess I feel somewhat like a broken
record and that it would
be pretty redundant for me to emphasize
prayer again we’ve been hearing that for
weeks and weeks and weeks and probably
months actually and
so I know that I how many of you have
felt really challenged in your own
personal prayer life but for here’s
here’s what my prayer life looks like if
I have 10 minutes to
pray I’m probably going to spend about
six or seven minutes in worship if I
have an hour it’s going to be probably
40 45 minutes in worship I the heartfelt
connection the awareness of God and the
heartfelt intimate connection is more
important to me than any of the things
on my list as valuable as they are
that’s where I live from is
that and I I’ve been having this sense
that uh I talked to you a couple uh
weeks ago about the the war that’s
involved in
prayer and um I’m I’m becoming more
painfully aware of the atmosphere and
climate that we live in things that are
happening in our nation at such a
dramatic Pace that um I’ll tell you
what to not pray is to be stupid
and prayers of authority prayers of
absolute abandonment to the purposes of
God are essential in this in this
season uh they always are but I I feel
it so deeply and so strongly that I I
it’s it’s going to
take you know any time in my life for me
to say this nation would be saved it
would take a miracle it would have
always been true but it’s never been
truer than
today it just got multiplied
and uh but don’t tell me he can’t do
it so that’s my that’s right that’s my
new t-shirt right there don’t tell me he
can’t do it that’s
right you know I don’t think there’s
probably not a person in the room that
would question what he can do where we
question is what he wants to do what
he’s willing to do
what he’d be willing to do through me
through
you so father I ask that you would cause
infectious
Vision the willingness to go back to the
gym the old
gy the simple ways of just deep
affection the simple ways of crying out
in the
night the simple things that just
it’s it’s all laid out in front of us
cuz all we want is for Jesus to be
exalted Lord I Thank you I pray for our
online community I pray the same thing
that there’d be a mighty visitation of
God in our online community or Believers
all over the world that join with us day
after day God I’m asking that you would
teach us how to pray that you would
teach us how how to come off the
mountain and to see everyone impacted in
the same way that Jesus did we hunger
for that we hunger for not just routine
and formula we hunger for the reality of
presence the glory of God the days that
are that are directly ahead of us if if
we’ll yield to it will be demonstrations
of the glory of God unlike anything
we’ve ever seen or heard of before it
will rewrite our understanding of God’s
intentions in the earth God I pray that
you would actually teach us by the glory
by the Manifest presence of Jesus you
would show us your heart and that this
template for prayer would actually
filter all the things out of our life
that have no value and empower the
things that do I pray this in Jesus name
I know there’s always a chance when
there’s this many people in a room that
we could have somebody here that doesn’t
have a personal relationship with Jesus
and that’s important it’s the most
important reason for our being here
today is that anyone who can cannot say
I am a true disciple of Jesus I am a
true disciple of Jesus I’ve been born
again and forgiven of all sin if there’s
anyone that’s outside of that and you
would say Bill I don’t want to leave the
building till I know I have peace with
God and I have truly been changed and
transformed anyone here in that shape
all I want you to do is to put a hand up
and just say that’s just that’s me and
I’ll just acknowledge you right where
you are I just want your eyes to catch
mine and we’ll just come into agreement
together online uh we have bunch of
people online we’ve had so many people
saved online lately it’s just been
amazing so I encourage you put it in the
chat box we have teams of people that
will be there to pray with you to talk
with you we’ve had extraordinary
Miracles online yeah crazy Tom last week
in our prayer meeting
here our prayer meeting Sunday afternoon
we had we had two guys that were
professional
sinners
they were
professionals they were not Church brats
they were professional sinners from
another city they heard that something
was going on in a tent up here and they
drove from another city they came here
they sat to a two-hour prayer meeting
and at the end Tom had the courage to
stand up to a bunch of Christians and
say does anyone need to get saved and
these two guys said that’s me that’s me
so we prophesy that online over here I
just encourage you listen I don’t know I
don’t know how this works but time is
getting
shorter somebody asked I Verna Tomkins
is this the last generation she said I
don’t know but it’s my last generation
so that’s probably what we ought to
remember is that uh we really need to
use this time well so Tom why don’t you
come on up are you wrapping it up come
on up
and Bless yeah you’re welcome y
