Watch “Revival: Visions and Dreams” with Jentezen Franklin, host of Kingdom Connection & Pastor of Free Chapel.

the following program is sponsored by

friends and partners of Kingdom

Collection

today on Kingdom connection

nothing the world can offer can even

compare to what it’s like when the

Spirit of God comes and begins to feel

you suddenly you realize God knows my

name

I have a call on my life I’m here for a

divine purpose do you feel empty on the

inside like you need more of Jesus then

it’s time for a revival and it begins

now on Kingdom connection

look with me in Joel chapter 2 and verse

28 and it shall come to pass afterward

that I will pour out my spirit on all

flesh and your sons and your daughters

shall prophesy and the old men will

dream dreams and your young men shall

see visions also my men’s servants and

on my maidservants I will pour out my

spirit in those days Joel was

prophesying and he mentions four

categories of people that were going to

experience a true revival a true

outpouring of God’s Spirit upon their

lives and it’s interesting that the word

revived from which we get the word

revival is only found four times in the

entire Bible the first time that the

word revived is found it’s connected to

Joel’s prophecy it’s in the book of

Genesis 45 and it’s talking about an old

man by the name of Jacob Jacob in

Genesis 45 had lost his son Joseph

Joseph was the dreamer and his son was

dead he thought and forever gone he

thought his dream had forever

left his life and he was grieving and he

said I can’t be comforted and he said

all things are against me he made that

statement and sometimes it feels like

your dream has died and everything’s

come against you and nothing’s going

right this was how Jacob felt and it was

in that hour that Genesis 45 said that

even though he thought his son was dead

his son was very much alive Joseph was

at that moment sending waggons a

provision that were bringing the

blessings and bringing the proof that he

was alive and the scripture said when

Jacob saw the waggons and comprehended

that what he had been told about his son

was true that he truly is alive he began

to be revived the scripture said he was

revived in his spirit an old man got

revived in his dream revived his his

dream came alive his won’t

li’l of his desire his unction from God

came back at an old age which lines up

with Joel’s prophecy that in the last

days I’ll pour out my spirit and your

old men will dream dreams see it’s

interesting how God’s Word fits together

and the first time the word revived from

which we get revival is mentioned and

noted it had to do with an old man who

had lost his dream I want you to

understand that God wants to pour out

his spirit and sometimes we think that

that has to do with a new generation but

it starts with an older generation it

starts with the elders of a church and

you don’t have to be old to be an elder

if you’ve been serving God for many

years and you’re maturing God you’re in

an elder even if you don’t have any gray

hair but what happens is God says I’ve

got to if I’m going to send a revival to

a place it doesn’t start with the new

converts it doesn’t start with the

people out there in the world getting

saved it starts with the elders it

starts with the old men and women who

have allowed life and the end and the

temptations and the struggles and the

trials of life to steal their dream your

old men will dream dreams not lay down

and die when the Holy Spirit begins to

move again suddenly people get a dream

back they get a desire back he said the

old men will dream dreams I thank God

for that because it’s important Jacob

was at a point in his life where he had

lost his dream but the old man had his

dream restored in his old age it was

given back to him his dream was

resurrected

sometimes we almost give up on things

and he had given up and thought that his

dream which was Joseph his boy was gone

forever and we give up too quick we need

to understand that God when he

since revival can revive your dreams you

see when he saw the wagons coming

something kicked in something came alive

in that old man and he began to dream

even at an old age the Spirit of God

gave him a dream it’s about his time

it’s not about your time it’s not about

when you think God has to move and by my

30s I have to see this and by my 40s I

should be this far along and by my 50s

if it hasn’t happened then it’s just not

going to happen it’s about his time not

your time Moses was 80 years old when

God said now it’s my time I know your

time would have been when you were in

your 20s or in your 30s or in your 40s

but that was not my time and some of you

may be given up on the dream that God

has for you just when he has on his time

caught decided it’s time for your dream

to come true it’s about his time Caleb

was 85 when he said give me this

mountain and he ran every Jain off at

the age of 85 it’s why we need to pray

teach me to number my days and help me

not to give up when God has told me he’s

going to do something something happened

in the latter years the first group of

people that are going to experience

revival are the elders the older ones

the old men will dream dreams notice the

order the young men will see visions the

children the the sons and daughters

would be have the Spirit poured out and

the hand maidens and servants but notice

it starts with the older the old men

dreaming dreams again you have to get an

attitude when you get around the Holy

Spirit that says the rest of my years

will be the best of my years God is not

through with me God is not finished with

me I’m not 65 and sliding for home God

has a purpose and a plan and he still

has dreams that he wants to put in our

hearts and I don’t care how old you are

God still has you here for a reason and

you

were part of the revival come on and

give God a shout of praise the path of

the righteous grows brighter and

brighter not darker and darker brighter

and brighter and Paul had a vision and

then he heard a voice and 26 years later

he stood before King Agrippa in Rome and

he said I was not disobedient to the

heavenly vision I want you to understand

that he had a vision but he kept that

vision alive and it took 26 years and

sometimes we quit too soon and we give

up too soon but God would say to you in

this revival I want to revive some of

those dreams and keep those dreams alive

because I know what I planned for you

and I’m not through with you old men

will dream dreams you see most men who

fell in the Bible to sin fell the last

half of their life David fell the last

half of his life to the sin of adultery

Solomon fail to sin the last half of his

life

Hezekiah started worshipping idols the

last half of his life King Saul back

slid the last half of his life the most

dangerous period of your life is when

you enter into your 50s and into your

60s and if you don’t have a passion for

God and you just let Church become

routine and you just let yourself grow

cold and indifferent what has to happen

as you get older and you get strand you

get more mature in the word is you have

to have the Holy Spirit breathe on you

again and keep everything fresh and

everything alive and everything where it

needs to be passionate about Jesus

Christ I’m telling you that if your

dream has died there’s something coming

down the road I see the wagons coming

I see the provision coming I see the

blessings coming I see your families

coming I see the wagons and you need to

by faith say Holy Spirit restore and

I’ve my dreams I wonder how many of you

have 45 and older raise your hand up let

me see your hand a lot of old people

here today well I speak this over your

life that in the name of Jesus Christ in

this revival you are going to have an

awakening of the dream you’re gonna

dream again and you’re gonna see things

again and you’re gonna believe four

things again and you’re gonna get a

passion for God again

I want everybody 45 and over just to

lift your hands and say do it in me Lord

I see the wagons coming great days are

coming not behind me they’re in front of

me then Joel said not only will the old

men during dreams but he said the young

men will see visions the people in their

20s the men and women in the 30s the

people in their 40s that’s not that’s

not young it is when you getting old

he’s real young he said the young men

will see visions and I couldn’t put this

together

only in God’s Word the second time the

word revived is found is connected to

Sampson in the book of Judges the

fifteenth chapter Samson was a young man

that had great strength and power and

anointing but his own family turned him

over to the enemy sometimes it’s your

own family and only your family that can

successfully bind you nobody else could

bind Samson but his own family delivered

him into the hand of the Philistines and

sometimes in your young 20s and 30s and

40s it’s your own family issues that can

bind you up and cause you to feel

restricted and defeated so Samson though

begin to break loose from those chains

and he had to fight the Philistines and

the Bible said he took the jawbone of a

donkey and he killed a thousand

Philistines he was fighting that battle

fighting that battle fighting that bad

when he finally killed the last

Philistine the scripture said that his

spirit left him he was just so worn out

from the fight so weary from the fight

so so just fighting for his family and

fighting for his dream and fighting you

know sin and all the things we fight and

fighting to raise our children for God

and sometimes you’re just fighting and

fighting raising those children and

trying to get that business going and

trying to get that house and trying to

do all that you need to do in busy

schedules but what happened to Samson is

no enemy on the outside could destroy

him it was the fact that he had run out

of inward strength he ran out of

resources and God showed him some fresh

water and he said if you go to that

jawbone I’ll fill it full of fresh water

and he went over and God had to

replenish him after you fought the devil

wants you to just be exhausted and go

from battle to battle to battle but what

you’ve got to do as you’re fighting the

battles especially you young couples and

you young men and young women and you’re

doing so much is you’ve got to have

those times like this revival when you

get replenished inwardly where God

restores your soul where you are so

weary from fighting trying trying to

fight for that you know just take care

of that family and all the pressure

that’s on you sometimes and you have to

get to the living water which is the

Holy Spirit and you have to drink and be

replenished and be refreshed and fill

alive again and feel the love of God

again all anew suddenly he found the

place of refreshing he found the place

where God restored his soul and I’m

talking to people in their 20s and in

their 30s and in their 40s and you’re so

busy and you’re building and you’re

doing and you’re fighting and you’re

fighting but how long has it been since

you stopped it all and understood

and I’m dry inside man I’m weary inside

boy I’m putting on a good front but I

wish I could have a good cool drink from

the river of life well in this revival

God wants to revive you God wants to

bring purpose to your family

God wants to send the holy spirit and

because sometimes you’re fighting in

your own natural strength and it takes

the anointing to come back on you and

the thing about Samson is he lost his

vision he was a young man and he lost

his vision now Jacob was an old man and

he lost his dream but jaws said the old

men will dream dreams and the young men

who get their vision when the Holy

Spirit comes on when revival comes to

them and that’s what happened to Samson

God restored his vision the Philistines

had plucked his eyes out but God gave

him a little lad and he became his

vision and he took him and put his hands

on the pillar of the temple of Dagon and

he destroyed the Devil’s Playhouse and

he did it in because his vision got

restored when he began to drink the

water that replenished and refreshed him

and I felt like I needed to prophesy in

this sermon today that during these days

of revival there are going to be 20s and

30-somethings and 40 something’s that

are going to lift their hands and you’ve

been fighting and fighting and fighting

and you’re so dry and so weary and God

is going to pour out that rain that he

talked about and that living water and

it’s going to fill you and restore your

vision the old men will dream dreams but

the young men will get the vision back

for without a vision you’ll perish God

has a vision for your family God has a

vision for you if you’re single right

now and don’t you be diverted by the

enemy’s distractions God has a vision

and it’s about his time not your time

you put yourself in this revival in

God’s hands and watch him bring the

vision to pass

everybody who is uh everybody who’s

20-something 30-something in early forty

something and don’t lie lift your hands

up right now

and say Lord replenish me with living

water in this revival keeping my vision

give me my vision restore my vision then

Joel said that when God pours his spirit

out he’ll pour it on our sons and on our

daughters this is connected to the third

time the word revive is found in first

Kings 17 it talks about a child that was

raised from the dead and it said when

the prophet prayed over the child that

the child was revived so Joel said that

in the last days God would pour his

spirit on the sons and the daughters

here we see even the children being

filled with the Holy Spirit the children

experiencing the power of God the

teenagers the college students even the

even the adolescents the children are

receiving and falling in love and being

captured by the presence of the Holy

Spirit oh oh how I long for that kind of

revival I’ve had them in my own life in

my own ministry I started when I was 20

years old preaching revivals and I would

see God use me particularly among young

people my brother and I because we were

so young young people would come to our

revivals and we were single and so young

girls would come and you know what we

would go to youth camps and we would go

to churches and we would see hundreds of

young people flood to the altars and be

filled with the Holy Spirit and there’s

nothing like it there’s no party the

world has that can compare to the power

of God filling you there’s no drug

there’s no joy

there’s no popularity there’s nothing

the world can offer can even compare to

what it’s like when the Spirit of God

comes and begins to feel you suddenly

you realize God knows my name I have a

call on my life I’m here for a divine

purpose how along for the sons and the

daughters in the book of second Kings it

tells the story of the child that had

died and the prophet was brought in and

the Bible said that when the child died

the scripture said that the mother

blamed herself I don’t know if you’ve

ever noticed this but it said it

actually says this she said when her son

died my sin has come upon me and

sometimes when our children fall away

it’s easy to be filled with guilt and

start blaming ourselves and saying it’s

my fault it’s my fault it’s my fault but

I want to tell you what I learned years

ago you can’t keep your kids from their

testimony and all God is doing is

working on their testimony and the kids

that are here you’ll never be able to

get rid of what we put on you through

prayer and fasting and anointed services

and revival like we’re in right now you

can go out and you can do it all but

guess what the Holy Spirit is going to

hound you right back to the dorm room

and while you lay there I stoned out of

your mind he’s gonna get in your ear and

say you belong to Jesus you’re you your

body is the temple of the Holy Ghost

even in a bed of fornication the Holy

Spirit will grab you put his arms around

you and say I still love you and I’ve

got a plan for you you’re better than

that young lady you’re better than that

God’s got bigger things for you they

just lay him down to any old boy who

have you God

his hand on you don’t sell yourself

cheap you’re a great value to our God

what you need is the Holy Spirit what

you need is the anointing of God on your

life and he’s promised I’m going to

revive a generation of young people

don’t ride them off because my spirit is

going to come on them and I’m going to

use them and they’re gonna know what

life is in life more abundantly in me

and what category are you in teenager

college student high school student

don’t you want something more than the

empty feeling sin leaves you with those

of you in your 20s 30s chasing that

dream with all of your heart that’s

awesome nothing wrong with that but you

need a replenishing oh what a difference

it would make to get in God’s presence

let him fill you with living water busy

housewife

Racing the kids here and they’re running

them to soccer practice

cheerleading this that and the other

going all over the place let him

replenish you elders God wants to

restore your dream handmade servants

just ordinary people God saying I can

use you make yourself available to me I

want to do something great in your life

I believe no matter how old or how young

you are God can place a new jury a fresh

vision in your life if you’re hungry for

more of him he’ll start something new a

revival in your soul revival begins with

a personal relationship with Jesus

Christ and if you don’t know him as your

Savior pray with me right now we’re
