This is “Dig It.” When powerless pentecost has become the norm, and there’s more compromise than conviction in the church, it’s time to dig again. In this message, Jentezen Franklin teaches 3 specific things we must reclaim from the enemy in order to escape the muddy waters and release the power of the Living Water back into our lives.

connection I don’t care how messed up

your children are I don’t care how far

from God they are there’s a whale in

your house somebody dug it and if you

dig you’re gonna hit the water

[Music]

I’m reading one verse of scripture today

in verse 18 of Genesis chapter 26 an

Isaac dug again the wells of water which

they had dug in the days of Abraham his

father for the Philistines had stopped

them up after the death of Abraham he

called them speaking the them is the

whales he called the whales by the names

which his father had called them notice

what he said it said that he dug again

that Isaac dug again I love that he dug

in the days of Abraham his father Isaac

dug again the wells of water and I want

to talk to you for a few moments today

on digging turn to somebody and say dig

it I gave you a spoon when you came in

today how many of you’ve got your spoon

hold it up let me see your spoons all

over the room at every campus on how

many of you got your spoon well I’m

asking God today to turn your spoon into

a shovel and transform it so that you

can read igg some wails that God wants

to open up in your home and in your

family the wells that were supposed to

refresh Andrus and revive with living

water

the Bible said the Philistines the enemy

of God’s peoples stopped them up clawed

them up filled them up with dirt it

actually says that once some

translations say earth but that’s dirt

and therefore there was no way for a new

generation Isaac and his generation they

couldn’t get to the water that the

father Abraham and his generation had

dug and it lets you know that a whale is

a pit

or a hole sunk into the earth to provide

water in other words you can’t get to

the water unless you get down into the

hole and if you’re in a hole today in a

low place you’re closer to the water

than you’ve ever been

wells in the Bible were important they

were hard to dig in ancient times they

didn’t have drills they didn’t have the

things that we have today with our

modern technology and so they were in a

middle-eastern terrain desert dry hot

extremely hot and it was a it was a

matter of life and death to find water

if you could find a well of water you

became very wealthy in Bible days a well

of water would be like an awl well to us

today and Abraham began to dig for water

and he struck it but he understood that

the time in the energy and the expense

that he put in digging for this whale

was not only for him and his wife and

his generation but Abraham understood

that I’m digging a whale for my son

Isaac in his generation my grandson

Jacob in his generation the Bible said

in proverbs chapter 13 and verse 22 a

good man leaves an inheritance for his

children’s children another way of

saying that is a good church leaves an

inheritance for their children’s

children in other words you’re you don’t

just need a good church but your

children need a good church and your

children’s children and your children’s

children’s children one day we’ll need a

good church and we need to make sure

that we have a perpetual spirit-filled

Church in every city where we have

people that we want to reach the thing

that I love about the well that we’re

preaching about today is that have been

flowing for about a hundred years and

the well of water that I’m preaching

about has been flowing for a long time

and there’s a good chance that those of

you are here your children will be in

the drinking from this whale and your

grandchildren will be drinking from this

whale God’s dream for this ministry is

that it go from generation to generation

that it go from glory to glory that it

go from faith to faith and every time we

love truth and live it we’re securing a

well for the next generation Genesis 26

and 18 said when Abraham died this is

key

the Philistines waited until Abraham

died and then they filled the whales

with dirt the water was still flowing

but they blocked it and barricaded it

and they said now that the old man with

the white hair and the long beard named

Abraham he he that he would fight for

the whale some some wells are worth

fighting over

and we couldn’t do it while he was alive

but now that he’s dead the new

generation won’t defend the whale and we

can just throw dirt in it and we can

serve mixed water we can serve dirty

water we can serve as a matter of fact

we can just drive the next generation

out and what I want you to understand is

as soon as he died they worked to cover

up everything that he had accomplished

the old patriarch died and I couldn’t

help but wonder in my mind I wonder if

the devil just sits on the sidelines and

he’s waiting for some of the elders and

some of the grandpas and grandmas and

moms and dads and families to die out

because they’re committed and they got

living water and they loved the power

and the and and the and the water of the

Holy Spirit the river of the Holy Spirit

but the enemy knows that that as soon as

they die out that way love that family

the family well we’ll try up because

they can pour dirty they can dirty up

the water they can dirty up the worship

they can dirty up the doctrine but I’m

here to declare today

that we are determined in this ministry

that our children will drink from the

same well that we drunk from that our

grandchildren will drink from the same

well that we drank from they don’t need

some water down power of the Holy Spirit

they don’t need some dirty water that’s

mixed with the world what they need is

one drink of living water and they’ll

never thirst again

they’ll never thirst again we need and

we must have an Isaac generation that

will get the shovel and let the enemy

know that you’re not going to take away

everything the previous generation

attained for us I’m saying today that

the devil would love when all these

white heads died off for something to

change in your family he’s doing

everything he can to stop the Bible said

in Joshua there arose another generation

who knew not God or his mighty axe

we’re in danger under the time that

we’re in I know the power my mom and my

dad dug a whale and their parents dug

whales and for the generations three

generations now we’ve all been drinking

but the next generation they are digging

whales and I’m not gonna let that mess

get in my house in the name of Jesus my

grandchildren four of them and one day

my great-grandchildren they’re gonna

have a whale that I have dug through

fasting and through prayer and I keep

getting the dirt out every time we fast

the Holy Spirit of bring the dirt up and

he’ll say dish it out shovel it out get

it out now

you’re gonna feel the water again the

Bible said that he covered they covered

up the whales the Abraham named and

Isaac read ugh those whales and he

didn’t change there

James I’m saying to you today that when

you understand what I’m preaching

there’s some things that we don’t need

to change the name to the name that

Wales represented somebody in a family

who digs a whale and they would name it

after that person and somewhere in your

family roots there was a mother there

was a father there was a grandparent

there was a nod there was an uncle

somebody dug a whale and in Heaven’s

Memorial their name is on that whale

that’s why you couldn’t stay where you

were in sin that’s why you’re sitting in

a church this morning somebody dug a

whale you don’t even know why you keep

coming but they dug a whale and it’s not

that the waters still not there for the

family it’s just you let the Philistines

put too much dirt in but if you would

just start reaching out for God if you

just get that spoon and you’ll say God

I’m gonna do some digging this week I

know there’s some water and before you

know it slosh you’re gonna hit the river

that your granny had because it’s still

there he’ll eNOS steal their revival is

still there family household salvation

is still there I don’t care how messed

up your children are I don’t care how

far from God they are there’s a whale in

your house somebody dug it and if you

dig you’re gonna hit the water you’re

gonna hit the water the problem is we’ve

gotten used to drinking muddy water and

we’ve got along to drink from those old

whales again read igg the whales and

don’t rename them you still got to

repent from sin and forsake your sin and

I’m not gonna rename it for this

generation

you still have to be washed in the blood

of the Lamb baptized in water and

baptized in the Holy Ghost and I’m not

gonna rename that whale you still got to

come out from among them and be separate

says the Lord and I’m not gonna rename

that whale there’s only two destinations

that you can be headed to in eternity

it’s either heaven or it’s hail and I’m

not gonna rename it to be politically

correct in the church and preach a cool

hwhip gospel you’re going to heaven or

you going to hail you’re living right or

you live in Rome you’re a hypocrite or

you’re a sold-out Christian with a cross

on your back but there is no middle

ground and I’m not will rename the whale

he said I wish you were hot or I wish

you were cold but if you lukewarm I’ll

spew you out of my mouth if you’re

living in sin you’re a sinner and you’re

gonna go to hell and I’m not gonna

rename that whale I’m not mad I don’t

hate you I love you enough to tell you

the truth you can’t have joy with one

foot in the world

getting drunk half the time getting high

half the time and then running to God on

Sunday it doesn’t work that way I’m not

gonna rename the whale and the reason

you’re not satisfied is you’re not

drinking pure water you’re drinking

dirty water and I feel like preaching

I’m telling you this is real

what I got ahold of is real what’s in

Acts chapter 2 is real you got to get

the dirt out of your life I want to give

you a couple of whales three of them

that we need to redo we got to read igg

the whale of worship at free chapel

we cannot lose the whale of worship we

got to keep the worship opened up we

can’t let the devil throw the dirt of

pride an intimidation of what people

will say

the only reason some of you don’t raise

your hands is cause you fully yourself

and pride and intimidation and the

reason we got so many team sickles is

because we got so many popsicles and if

the team sickles would see pop raising

his hands and praising God that guess

what it would move down the line in the

family you don’t have the luxury of not

coming to church and worship in the 21st

century demons are coming after your

family

you better get you a censor of worship

and start saying devil get out of my

house get out of my children get out of

my marriage I worship my way to the

throne of God into the victory that

Calvary has won you got to read igg the

wail of worship hails told some of you

the children don’t even come to church

anymore they don’t even talk about God

anymore they go never come back to

church it’s you turning that spoon into

a shovel and it looks like it’s just a

little thing instead of putting banana

pudding you getting the dirt out instead

of chocolate cake instead of steak cuz I

try to eat it with a spoon that’s how

bad I wanted

despise not the day of small things

because God told me to tell you that

even if you haven’t seen them and they

won’t come to church and you they don’t

talk about God anymore there’s a river

there’s a whale in that family and all

it needs is a Isaac generation to start

reading the way love sacrifice sacrifice

has been sacrificed in this generation

you don’t want it to cost us anything

evey but easy believe ISM we’ve

abandoned sacrifice God didn’t stutter

when he said Abraham take your boy to

the to the mountain and sacrificing it’s

a burnt offering to me God didn’t say I

suggest you do it

God didn’t beat around the bush God

required it you ought to be blessed it

requires sacrifice you own an anointing

a thousand times stronger than you are

today

it requires sacrifice I’ve been

preaching a long time and I know the

Bible pretty good and I’m gonna tell you

if I have to sacrifice I can’t lean on

nothing in my past no one morning from

the past all I can do is every year take

the spoon and turn it into a shovel and

say get the dirt out get the dirt out

get the earth out get the carnality I’ll

get the flesh out and feel me again

because I’m not just digging for me but

I’m digging for Courtney and Chrissa

Carolina Conner Drake Amelia Colette

Luka Leo my grandchildren being in Tyler

my son-in-law

they got a field they got experience

this their children has got experience

this or it won’t be real this dirty

water this this dirty worship this

mixture of the world and the spirit it

doesn’t work it’s not it’s not powerful

and it requires sacrifice God will never

take what you don’t want

but he’ll ask you for what you love I’m

preaching better than you’re letting on

but I’m just gonna tell you listen to

this

God is not your garbage collector God is

not your goodwill store where you give

him the time and money and anything else

that you have leftover that you really

don’t want this is not this church is

not a massage parlor to make you feel

good it’s not a Love Boat this is a

battleship and every now and then it

requires sacrifice it requires you

taking the the shovel and saying I’m

getting the dirt of my own carnality out

and almost sacrifice to God lastly I

will read igg the wail of faith jesus

said when I come back listen to the

question he had will I still find a

faith in the earth in other words will

anybody be preaching healing anymore

knowing with all laying on of hands will

anybody be preaching the baptism in the

Holy Ghost speaking with other tongues

prophesy will anybody be preaching

miracles signs and wonders a will the

church just be

a bunch of professionals Paul said I do

not come to you with enticing words of

man’s wisdom become a demonstration of

the power of the Holy Ghost that is what

we need desperately in this church how

do you how do you in clogged the weld of

faith you get the dirt of unbelief and

doubt out

I believe my children will be saved

I believe my body will be healed

I believe my finances will prosper and

be blessed God you can do it say it

everybody God you can do it say it again

I believe I want the dirt of unbelief

out

I want the dirt of doubt out say God you

can do it again some of you buried your

faith Lazarus died and his sisters and

family put him in the tomb and buried

their faith and said it’s too late and

some of you have children and

grandchildren and it looks like they’re

dead spiritually they don’t talk about

God anymore they don’t come to church

anymore but God knows how to move stones

read igg the way love faith and you’ll

start saying as for me in my house I

don’t walk by what I see I want by what

I hear and I believe this over anything

I see going on with any of my children

I’ve had I’m living in victory in this

area right now every one of my kids are

loving God serving God I’m so thrilled

and I’m so happy but we fault hell we

fought demons we fought Devils and I

said it when I was going through it as

for me

in my house we would sir I reminded the

devil I would read igg that whale and

say you know what you just have your

heyday but one day when this is over

those kids are gonna torment you one of

these days devil I’m gonna make you pay

one of these days you gonna break out in

a revival at Forward Conference and

you’re gonna pour out your spirit on

14,000 teenagers at one time just

because you’ve messed with my children

upon your sons and your daughters I will

pour out my spirit it’s coming muddy

water has become the norm powerless

Pentecost has become the norm we have

more deserts than we have downpours we

need to redo the wail we have more

perversion in the church than we do

power we need to redo the wail we have

more Playboy’s in the pulpit than

prophets we need to redo the wail we

have more compromised than convictions

when’s the last time you added to your

conviction list I know you you’ve saved

by grace and grace sets you free and you

mark that off your conviction list and I

used I can do that and I can do that

well when’s the last time you added

something to your conviction list

we need a fresh baptism of power you’ll

never have a public powerful

manifestation of God’s power in glory

you’ll never have a public powerful

manifestation until you have a private

conversation with God in prayer

recently a ministry partner that we have

stood with for years and years and

helping women called new beginnings

their founder Sharon Thompson began to

share with me something that happened

how that a young girl I think she was 14

years old had been sexually abused and

had all kinds of issues that were going

on in her life as a result of now

addicted and the girl showed up at her

ministry and they had nowhere to put

someone that young and she began to cry

Sharon did and she said pastor we need a

home for girls from the age of 12 to 17

if we don’t rescue them they will end up

in sex trafficking they will end up in

addictions they wind up in abusive

relationships where they’re beat and and

treated like trash

please pastor help me get a dorm for

these girls and I heard the Lord’s voice

in Sharon’s voice because this is what

the Lord told me to tell you the

scripture said he then said tell her

behold you have listened to these words

you have gone to all of this trouble for

me you’ve gone to all of this trouble

for me what can be done for you can

something be communicated to the king

for you and she answered that she didn’t

really need anything and go haze’ I

spoke up and said she’s never had a son

Jesus said I’m gonna ask you a question

what can I do for you what do you need

do you need a miracle in your home I’ll

tell you God’s speaking to somebody

right now

do you need a miracle in your home it

happens when you provide a home for the

homeless I’m telling you today that

urgently this dormitory for young girls

is needed the ages of 12 to 17 the odds

are if we don’t reach them then only God

knows where Satan will take them this is

one of the fastest growing addiction

demographics in our nation Satan says I

want these girls they’re mine

he’s doing everything in his power to

steal our daughters and our

granddaughters to destroy them before

they reach adulthood but you and I can

restore them and with the power of God’s

love they can be healed they can be

restored they can be shown their extreme

high value in the eyes of God and I

promise you girls lives will be changed

here’s my announcer to tell you more
