(239) “Obey God, Doubting Nothing”

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,660
So when you get a word of the Lord and you know that you've already tested it,

2
00:00:03,700 --> 00:00:08,260
you know that it's the word of the Lord. Go doubting nothing.

3
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:13,820
Obey doubting nothing. Is the Lord speaking to you about something?

4
00:00:14,060 --> 00:00:17,060
Has he given you something to do? Go and do it.

5
00:00:17,060 --> 00:00:22,060
God promises in Joel 2, 28 to pour out His Spirit on all humanity.

6
00:00:30,820 --> 00:00:34,820
Welcome to Global Outpouring, where we contend for that promised outpouring.

7
00:00:35,160 --> 00:00:39,960
We equip for that outpouring so that we may engage in that very outpouring.

8
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:44,160
I'm Philip Bus. And I'm Sharon Bus. Welcome to the podcast today.

9
00:00:44,160 --> 00:00:49,160
We're going to have a wonderful discussion here today based on something

10
00:00:49,160 --> 00:00:53,160
that the Lord spoke to Philip when he was having his quiet time recently

11
00:00:53,860 --> 00:00:56,860
about obeying God and doubting nothing.

12
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:04,160

29
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:23,360
So, Philip, you had this visitation, so to speak. I mean, the Lord spoke

30
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:27,360
to your spirit recently. Tell us that story. Tell us what happened.

31
00:02:27,860 --> 00:02:32,360
I was just having my morning prayer time and kind of getting into my prayer chair

32
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:36,360
and just praying in the Holy Spirit, you know, and praying in tongues.

33
00:02:36,860 --> 00:02:41,360
And I was praying about our convention. You know, we signed a contract to have

34
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:45,360
our convention in St. Louis in May of next year.

35
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,360
May 21st through 24th, over Memorial Weekend.

36
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:52,360
Thank you. And it's just like there's so much involved when you do that.

37
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:57,360
You know, it's been a while and because now you're guaranteed so many rooms

38
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:58,360
to be filled.

39
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:00,360
And we haven't done this for five years.

40
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:04,360
Yeah, and we don't have a crew that has packed up because even preparing for

41
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:10,360
a convention, you know, it takes a lot of work loading trucks and and you

42
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:11,360
know, things like that.

43
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,360
And so I'm just praying into this.

44
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:18,360
And what was just quickening into my spirit was doubting nothing.

45
00:03:18,860 --> 00:03:20,860
And I thought I knew where that came from.

46
00:03:20,860 --> 00:03:24,860
You know, that and so that comes from what was Peter.

47
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:27,360
He was at the house of Simon and Tanner.

48
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:31,860
He was on the roof. I think he was praying on the roof and waiting for lunch.

49
00:03:31,860 --> 00:03:33,860
Yeah. Going to have Peter and hummus, I guess.

50
00:03:33,860 --> 00:03:35,860
I don't know. He was hungry. He was hungry.

51
00:03:35,860 --> 00:03:38,860
Well, they were by the seaside. So maybe they were going to have some fish.

52
00:03:38,860 --> 00:03:41,860
Sure. He loved fish. Yeah, he's a fisherman.

53
00:03:41,860 --> 00:03:45,860
You know, so so anyway, then he has this vision.

54
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:51,360
Then the King James describes it as a great sheet that came down with all these

55
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:55,360
unclean animals, you know, things maybe we would eat, you know, and

56
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:58,360
maybe maybe we wouldn't. Maybe we wouldn't.

57
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:02,360
And he says, The Lord said, Arise, Peter, kill and eat.

58
00:04:02,860 --> 00:04:05,360
You know, and this happened three times.

59
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:09,360
You know, three is a number that always gets Peter's attention because he denied

60
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:11,360
the Lord three times. Oh, that's right.

61
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,360
You know, so so he's doubting.

62
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,360
What does this vision really mean?

63
00:04:15,860 --> 00:04:20,360
And then, you know, the Holy Spirit says, you know, these men that are coming for

64
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,360
you, you go with them, doubting nothing.

65
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:28,360
Yes, yes. And the Lord spoke to him in that vision about what I have called

66
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:30,360
clean. Don't you call unclean?

67
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:35,360
Yeah. Yeah. And because this was totally against his his theology.

68
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:39,360
Yes, yes, yes. He's been eating kosher all his life.

69
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:43,360
And all of a sudden, he's got to eat these unclean things.

70
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:47,360
And God was preparing him because he's going to be going to places maybe where

71
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,360
food is not kosher. Right.

72
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,360
So why don't you tell about Cornelius?

73
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:55,360
So in the beginning of that chapter, this is Acts, Chapter 10.

74
00:04:55,360 --> 00:05:01,360
In the beginning of that chapter, Cornelius, who is a Roman centurion, a

75
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:07,360
Gentile Italian, he he's having his quiet time in the afternoon.

76
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:14,360
And all of a sudden, an angel appears to him and he he was a devout, godly man.

77
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:20,360
And he was he, you know, he's living among Jews and he's behaving like a

78
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:24,360
Christian. He's behaving according to God's purposes.

79
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:29,360
Apparently, though, he had not become a proselyte, but he was he was

80
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:31,360
worshiping the same god, I believe.

81
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:34,360
I don't think I don't think he was worshiping the wrong one.

82
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:36,360
He wasn't worshiping Samaritans or something.

83
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:42,360
No, no. So so this angel appears to him and says to him, let me just read it

84
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:47,360
out of the Amplified Classic about the ninth hour, about three p.m., the

85
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:51,360
ninth hour of the day, he saw clearly in a vision an angel of God entering

86
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:56,360
and saying to him, Cornelius.

87
00:05:56,360 --> 00:06:00,360
And he gazing intently at him became frightened and said, What is it, Lord?

88
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:05,360
And the angel said to him, Your prayers and your generous gifts to the poor

89
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:10,360
have come up as a sacrifice to God and have been remembered by him.

90
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:16,360
Now send men to Joppa and have them call and invite here a certain Simon

91
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,360
whose surname is Peter.

92
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,360
You could say Simon the Rock.

93
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:25,360
He's lodging with Simon, a tanner whose house is by the seaside.

94
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:28,360
When the angel who spoke to him had left, Cornelius called two of his

95
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:32,360
servants and a God fearing soldier from among his own personal attendants.

96
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,360
And having rehearsed everything to them, he sent them to Joppa.

97
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:40,360
So the next day they are at the gate about to knock when Peter has this

98
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:42,360
vision. Yeah.

99
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:46,360
So Peter says, OK, I'll go with you.

100
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:54,360
So he and six other men, Jewish men, they went with these Gentiles and

101
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:57,360
they're thinking, What are we doing?

102
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,360
Yeah. We've never done anything like this before.

103
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,360
Yeah. This is a whole new thing.

104
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:07,360
Usually when a Roman centurion comes to your door, it's not good.

105
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:10,360
Yeah. Especially back there.

106
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:12,360
Yep. That would be true. That would be true.

107
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:18,360
That'd be like the KGB coming to your door in the USSR before the Soviet

108
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:20,360
Union fell apart. Right.

109
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,360
It's not good news.

110
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:27,360
So they get to Cornelius's house and Cornelius tells the story again.

111
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:31,360
You know, the servants told the story and then he's telling it again.

112
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:36,360
He's got a whole house full of people waiting to hear the word of the Lord.

113
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:38,360
Wow. Yeah.

114
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:43,360
They were ready. They were ready to hear what Peter had to say because an

115
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:44,360
angel has appeared to him.

116
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:49,360
You know, something supernatural has got them all stirred up.

117
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,360
So Peter starts preaching.

118
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:55,360
Yeah. And he's telling them about Jesus.

119
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:58,360
And while he's talking, he didn't give an altar call.

120
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:01,360
Oh, no. Holy Spirit just fell.

121
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:04,360
And they're all speaking in tongues.

122
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:08,360
And, you know, which is contrary to a lot of people would believe today, you

123
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:09,360
have to get saved first.

124
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,360
But salvation has to do with believing.

125
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:14,360
They believed what he said.

126
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:15,360
Yeah.

127
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,360
So if you believe in your heart, I mean, by this time, they're ready to

128
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,360
confess with their mouths of what they're believing in their heart.

129
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,360
But while they're trying to confess it, up comes tongues.

130
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:25,360
Holy Spirit falls. Yeah.

131
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:27,360
It's just amazing.

132
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:32,360
Yeah. And I love what it says in, well, I don't know exactly what verse it is.

133
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:35,360
Maybe 40, 40 something.

134
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:40,360
It says those of the circumcision, the Jewish people who were with him, who

135
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:44,360
believed. I mean, these are believers, believers in Jesus.

136
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:51,360
They were astonished because the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out

137
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:53,360
on the Gentiles.

138
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:55,360
Also poured out.

139
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:56,360
And guess what?

140
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:59,360
What are we? Gentiles.

141
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:02,360
Exactly. Exactly.

142
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:06,360
So once word gets out, well, I guess they got baptized too.

143
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:09,360
Peter says, well, they're filled with the Holy Spirit.

144
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:12,360
I guess probably we should baptize them.

145
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:14,360
I'm sure a house like that had a pool.

146
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:16,360
Well, yeah, probably so.

147
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:19,360
Or they were by, well, yeah, Caesarea is by the sea.

148
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:22,360
So they could have been baptized in the Mediterranean there.

149
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:26,360
But, you know, the point is that, and let me just take a little quick bunny

150
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:30,360
trail. I think this is just my opinion.

151
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,360
This isn't something to build a doctrine on.

152
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:39,360
Or maybe you can, but I don't know that when Jesus was baptized, he said to

153
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,360
John, John is saying I should be baptized by you.

154
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:48,360
And Jesus says to John, the Baptist, just allow this to happen.

155
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:50,360
It needs this needs to happen.

156
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:52,360
I need to do this.

157
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:55,360
Yeah. And of course, it's at that moment he gets, he gets baptized.

158
00:09:55,360 --> 00:10:01,360
He gets the Holy Spirit poured out on him like a dove comes and lands on

159
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:03,360
him and just hovers over him.

160
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:07,360
Or, I mean, the scripture isn't clear exactly what it looked like.

161
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:12,360
But my point is that, yes, that was part of his anointing that made him the

162
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:15,360
Messiah for us.

163
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:18,360
And because Messiah means anointed one.

164
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:21,360
Okay. So he was anointed with the Holy Spirit, which is in this chapter we

165
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,360
were just reading Acts chapter 10.

166
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:30,360
He was anointed with the Holy Spirit and he went about doing good and healing

167
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:32,360
all. Yeah, that's it.

168
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:34,360
All that were oppressed of the devil.

169
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:41,360
But I also think that it had something to do with giving an example to us as

170
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:47,360
believers that as we start our walk with him in the anointing, that we would

171
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:53,360
also be baptized, that we would also walk with him in this step by step walk.

172
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:55,360
I mean, you walk step by step, right?

173
00:10:55,360 --> 00:11:00,360
So at the beginning of your walk with the Lord, at the beginning of your

174
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:03,360
stepping into the anointing, that's when you get baptized.

175
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:10,360
And so all these centuries and millennia since then, as new believers would come

176
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:12,360
to the Lord, they would be baptized.

177
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:18,360
Now, if you become a proselyte of Judaism, you have to be baptized.

178
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:21,360
Now, if you're a man, you have to be circumcised too.

179
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:24,360
But you have to be they don't call it baptism.

180
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,360
They call it going to the mikvah.

181
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:27,360
Mikvah.

182
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:31,360
But that's the mikvah is a baptism.

183
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:32,360
Baptism.

184
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:33,360
And you immerse yourself.

185
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:34,360
You immerse yourself.

186
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:35,360
Yeah.

187
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:36,360
Nobody does it for you.

188
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:37,360
Right.

189
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:42,360
So that's why Peter would have had these new believers be baptized, because

190
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:48,360
that's the steps that Jesus laid out for us and did it by example.

191
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:54,360
So anyway, the folks back in Jerusalem hear about this and they're in an uproar.

192
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:58,360
You went into a certain uncircumcised man's house.

193
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:01,360
You've got to be kidding.

194
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:07,360
But that was the start because this is going to be a whole new revolution.

195
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:08,360
Yes.

196
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:12,360
The Gentiles coming in, not just the just for the Jews.

197
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:14,360
This is the the Gentiles.

198
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:16,360
And that's just changed everything.

199
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:21,360
And what is amazing is because Paul, who is learned under Gamilio,

200
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:25,360
who is one of the sharpest Pharisee of Pharisees.

201
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:26,360
Yeah.

202
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:30,360
And he and he turned out being an apostle to the Gentiles.

203
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:31,360
Right.

204
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,360
But God used Peter first.

205
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:35,360
He had to use one of the twelve.

206
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:36,360
Right.

207
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:41,360
Before it would be handed off to Paul, because Peter had to step up when there

208
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:45,360
was this question of now, do the Gentiles have to get circumcised?

209
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:51,360
No, actually, they don't because in the House of Cornelius,

210
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:55,360
they believed the Holy Spirit was poured out on them.

211
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:56,360
They were baptized.

212
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:59,360
They did not have to get circumcised to do any of those things.

213
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:05,360
And, you know, the discussion goes that Abraham was accepted by his faith

214
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:08,360
before he was circumcised.

215
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:11,360
So the circumcision has nothing to do with your salvation.

216
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:17,360
So anyway, moving on as this uproar is going on in Jerusalem,

217
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:21,360
Peter tells the story again and he uses the same expression.

218
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:23,360
Yes, doubting nothing.

219
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:24,360
Yeah.

220
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:27,360
The Holy Spirit told me to go with them, doubting nothing.

221
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:33,360
And, you know, one reason we felt uneasy about having convention,

222
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:37,360
you know, if you're doubting, you know, was because of what's going to happen

223
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:39,360
at the election time.

224
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:42,360
What's the economy going to be like?

225
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:47,360
And then when I was in church this last Sunday, our pastor was talking

226
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:51,360
and when he was, before he was pastor for a number of years,

227
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:56,360
they got this big building, big gym, all that, and they had a school.

228
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:58,360
I think it was through 12th grade.

229
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:01,360
Yeah, and pastor went to that school when he was young.

230
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:03,360
Yeah, he went through the whole thing.

231
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:07,360
And then things happened and the school shut down.

232
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:10,360
So you have this big building not being used a lot.

233
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:14,360
Then they got a daycare, which is really good, done very well.

234
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:18,360
And then the Lord starts speaking to him about starting school up again.

235
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:22,360
It's like, oh, wow, I mean, that's a whole other thing.

236
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:27,360
And so they persevered and prayed and started kindergarten.

237
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:28,360
That was last year.

238
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:29,360
Last year.

239
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:33,360
And then the Lord speaks to him about continuing on.

240
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:36,360
Okay, now start a first grade.

241
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:41,360
And so he's just kind of waffling about it for the same reasons that we would too.

242
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:43,360
You know, what's going to happen at election?

243
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:47,360
He thought, well, I'm just going to wait till election and see what happens.

244
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:53,360
And the Lord just quickened to him, you know, that I spoke to you to start the school.

245
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:55,360
So he just announced it.

246
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:58,360
You know, I forget how long time ago it was.

247
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:00,360
You know, he's talking about doing it.

248
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:02,360
But that just gave him what he needed.

249
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:08,360
And I just shared on Sunday morning when he was telling this, you know, what our thing was.

250
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:11,360
You know, it's been five years since we did a convention.

251
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:15,360
Well, we've been having conventions, but very small ones at our very small facility.

252
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:17,360
But not in a hotel.

253
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:18,360
Yeah.

254
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:19,360
Well, you make commitments.

255
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:20,360
You make commitments.

256
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:23,360
And, you know, budget can get pretty big too.

257
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:25,360
And so that was just a comment for him.

258
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:30,360
Then a few other prophetic words that came, you know, that was really right on that thing.

259
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:36,360
And so it's just like, you know, when God gives you something that's maybe out of your box,

260
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:38,360
that was totally out of Peter's box.

261
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:39,360
Yes.

262
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:47,360
What is interesting to me is that you've got these Jewish guys, the circumcision guys,

263
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:54,360
and they are livid that these people have gone into the house of a Gentile

264
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:57,360
because the Gentiles are just plain unclean.

265
00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:06,360
But I think because of the trouble that they got in before they were sent off to Babylon,

266
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:12,360
you know, they didn't do what God said in the first place and get rid of all of the Canaanites.

267
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:16,360
If they had done that, I think things would have been different.

268
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:17,360
But they didn't.

269
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:19,360
And they learned the ways of their neighbors.

270
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:22,360
And they began going into idolatry, da-da-da-da-da.

271
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:23,360
And they went into captivity.

272
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:25,360
And they went into captivity.

273
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:30,360
So when they came back, I think that was the birthplace of the Pharisees,

274
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:32,360
that, okay, we were in so much trouble.

275
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:34,360
We've got to do this right now.

276
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:35,360
Yeah.

277
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:37,360
And so they became the law police.

278
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:40,360
We'll talk about the law on a soon coming episode.

279
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:46,360
But the idea was that, you know, you shunned everything that doesn't look like the law.

280
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:47,360
Right.

281
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:50,360
I mean, that's why they were so angry with Jesus all the time,

282
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:58,360
because they didn't understand that the law, so-called the Torah, the instruction is a better term for it.

283
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:05,360
That these instructions that God gave them were for their good and for relationship with Him.

284
00:17:05,360 --> 00:17:10,360
Because if you do these things, it's because you love the Lord your God with all your heart,

285
00:17:10,360 --> 00:17:13,360
with all your soul, with all your mind, with all your strength.

286
00:17:13,360 --> 00:17:18,360
But they didn't have a grid that God wanted to do things among the Gentiles,

287
00:17:18,360 --> 00:17:25,360
even though God had said to Abraham, in you, all the nations of the world will be blessed.

288
00:17:25,360 --> 00:17:31,360
Now, obviously, that's talking about Jesus who was going to come out of his line, out of his family line,

289
00:17:31,360 --> 00:17:34,360
Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, all the way down to Jesus.

290
00:17:34,360 --> 00:17:39,360
But God said that to Abraham that he was going to be the father of many nations.

291
00:17:39,360 --> 00:17:40,360
Yeah.

292
00:17:40,360 --> 00:17:44,360
And that, and we know by faith, Abraham, all these things by faith.

293
00:17:44,360 --> 00:17:45,360
By faith.

294
00:17:45,360 --> 00:17:50,360
There were other scriptures that they weren't getting like Psalm 67,

295
00:17:50,360 --> 00:17:56,360
where it says, God be merciful to us and bless us and cause His face to shine upon us.

296
00:17:56,360 --> 00:17:59,360
Silah, just stop and think about that.

297
00:17:59,360 --> 00:18:06,360
That your way may be known on earth, your salvation among all nations.

298
00:18:06,360 --> 00:18:08,360
Let the peoples praise you.

299
00:18:08,360 --> 00:18:09,360
Peoples.

300
00:18:09,360 --> 00:18:14,360
Not just the Jewish people, not just the children of Israel, the children of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

301
00:18:14,360 --> 00:18:17,360
Let the peoples praise you, O God.

302
00:18:17,360 --> 00:18:19,360
Let all the peoples praise you.

303
00:18:19,360 --> 00:18:27,360
Oh, let the nations be glad and sing for joy, for you shall judge the people righteously and govern the nations on earth.

304
00:18:27,360 --> 00:18:29,360
Silah, think about this.

305
00:18:29,360 --> 00:18:31,360
Let all the peoples praise you, O God.

306
00:18:31,360 --> 00:18:33,360
Let all the peoples praise you.

307
00:18:33,360 --> 00:18:35,360
Then the earth shall yield her increase.

308
00:18:35,360 --> 00:18:38,360
God, our God, shall bless us.

309
00:18:38,360 --> 00:18:42,360
God shall bless us and all the ends of the earth shall fear Him.

310
00:18:42,360 --> 00:18:49,360
Now, how could they not understand that God wanted to do something among the Gentiles when you've got a Psalm like that?

311
00:18:49,360 --> 00:18:51,360
And there's multiple scriptures.

312
00:18:51,360 --> 00:18:53,360
Yeah, there's different talks about the nations.

313
00:18:53,360 --> 00:18:54,360
Yeah.

314
00:18:54,360 --> 00:18:56,360
So here's the point.

315
00:18:56,360 --> 00:19:07,360
When we get a paradigm, when we get a school of thought that is a certain way, we get troubled by an idea that's outside of that.

316
00:19:07,360 --> 00:19:09,360
You know, it just kind of rocks us.

317
00:19:09,360 --> 00:19:14,360
We don't we have a tendency to say no to anything that doesn't fit our paradigm.

318
00:19:14,360 --> 00:19:15,360
Right.

319
00:19:15,360 --> 00:19:17,360
Doesn't fit our mindset.

320
00:19:17,360 --> 00:19:23,360
But God is about to do all kinds of things in the earth that don't fit our mindset.

321
00:19:23,360 --> 00:19:24,360
Yeah.

322
00:19:24,360 --> 00:19:25,360
Wow.

323
00:19:25,360 --> 00:19:26,360
And that's part of the outpouring.

324
00:19:26,360 --> 00:19:27,360
Yeah.

325
00:19:27,360 --> 00:19:31,360
I was there was there was during my prayer times is some time back.

326
00:19:31,360 --> 00:19:37,360
And and what just came to me was, you know, we're waiting for the third visual Pentecost.

327
00:19:37,360 --> 00:19:40,360
I mean, we've had a lot of Pentecostal things happen.

328
00:19:40,360 --> 00:19:46,360
Oh, yeah, we have the Holy Spirit poured out whales that got poured out on Azusa Street.

329
00:19:46,360 --> 00:19:47,360
Yes.

330
00:19:47,360 --> 00:19:50,360
You know, the Hebrides, all these mighty revivals.

331
00:19:50,360 --> 00:19:58,360
But the first time there was a visual of God, the presence of God, the outpouring was on Mount Sinai.

332
00:19:58,360 --> 00:19:59,360
Yeah.

333
00:19:59,360 --> 00:20:02,360
It was all together on a smoke, as the King James says.

334
00:20:02,360 --> 00:20:09,360
And, you know, and the Lord told Moses, tell the people, wash your clothes and don't come at your wives.

335
00:20:09,360 --> 00:20:13,360
You know, be pure because something's going to happen.

336
00:20:13,360 --> 00:20:14,360
Yeah.

337
00:20:14,360 --> 00:20:18,360
And when it happened, I mean, there's lightning and smoke and fire.

338
00:20:18,360 --> 00:20:21,360
The trumpet and the people were scared.

339
00:20:21,360 --> 00:20:22,360
Earthquake.

340
00:20:22,360 --> 00:20:26,360
I mean, they saw the pillar of fire separating them from Pharaoh.

341
00:20:26,360 --> 00:20:27,360
Yeah.

342
00:20:27,360 --> 00:20:29,360
But this was the whole mountain is.

343
00:20:29,360 --> 00:20:30,360
Yeah.

344
00:20:30,360 --> 00:20:31,360
God is on the mountain.

345
00:20:31,360 --> 00:20:32,360
Yeah.

346
00:20:32,360 --> 00:20:33,360
Wow.

347
00:20:33,360 --> 00:20:34,360
Wow.

348
00:20:34,360 --> 00:20:35,360
Wow.

349
00:20:35,360 --> 00:20:39,360
You know, and the second time that there was a visual like this was on the day of Pentecost.

350
00:20:39,360 --> 00:20:43,360
Yes, which was a celebration of the celebration of what we just talked about.

351
00:20:43,360 --> 00:20:48,360
The fire came down, but this time, instead of coming down on the mountain, it came down on their heads.

352
00:20:48,360 --> 00:20:49,360
Amen.

353
00:20:49,360 --> 00:20:51,360
They're all speaking in tongues in all different languages.

354
00:20:51,360 --> 00:20:52,360
Yes.

355
00:20:52,360 --> 00:20:58,360
And then I was quick and I thought, but there's going to be a third visual Pentecost.

356
00:20:58,360 --> 00:21:02,360
I believe God is going to reveal things that we've never seen.

357
00:21:02,360 --> 00:21:03,360
And we'll see.

358
00:21:03,360 --> 00:21:06,360
I mean, there are the seers that see stuff all the time in meetings.

359
00:21:06,360 --> 00:21:07,360
Yes.

360
00:21:07,360 --> 00:21:11,360
And everybody's just kind of wondering, you know, they're the only ones that see it, you know.

361
00:21:11,360 --> 00:21:23,360
But I remember I was Bruce Allen that said all these different strange things you see it, you know, like your E.T.'s and all these funny characters, all these these little green, all this and that.

362
00:21:23,360 --> 00:21:31,360
And he said, well, you know, I'm going to tell you something, because people that created these actually saw these as demonic spirits.

363
00:21:31,360 --> 00:21:32,360
Yeah.

364
00:21:32,360 --> 00:21:35,360
Might high on cocaine or drugs or something like that.

365
00:21:35,360 --> 00:21:37,360
And he said, but the day is going to come.

366
00:21:37,360 --> 00:21:39,360
This is after the rapture.

367
00:21:39,360 --> 00:21:49,360
People are taken out that these demons are going to materialize in real life and people's hearts will fail them for fear.

368
00:21:49,360 --> 00:21:59,360
And anything that is just off kilter, it's going to be it's going to happen because we're going to be out of here and it's going to be people are going to get scared.

369
00:21:59,360 --> 00:22:00,360
Yeah.

370
00:22:00,360 --> 00:22:12,360
When you see your little and we've heard testimonies of children speaking, you know, like the one I remember one the cabbage patch does is it scares me because it walks around at night.

371
00:22:12,360 --> 00:22:14,360
And this is a little kid talking.

372
00:22:14,360 --> 00:22:15,360
Yeah.

373
00:22:15,360 --> 00:22:18,360
You know, think, well, he's Sonny's just not telling the truth.

374
00:22:18,360 --> 00:22:20,360
They they see things.

375
00:22:20,360 --> 00:22:21,360
You know, they see things.

376
00:22:21,360 --> 00:22:30,360
And if your child or something says something that something's walking, check your toy box, you know, check what's in there.

377
00:22:30,360 --> 00:22:37,360
Because if there is because even caution you when you go to a nation, you be careful what you bring home with you.

378
00:22:37,360 --> 00:22:41,360
Yes, because there could have been something that was spell cast over that.

379
00:22:41,360 --> 00:22:46,360
And you're taking that thing home and and it can materialize in your house.

380
00:22:46,360 --> 00:22:50,360
Yeah. You know, that's so that's just a word to the wise.

381
00:22:50,360 --> 00:23:00,360
So when your children say something on those wise, if they maybe watched a Harry Potter or if you have any of that stuff, get rid of it because it's witchcraft 101.

382
00:23:00,360 --> 00:23:05,360
Yeah. And it's just you're opening a door to the occult in your house.

383
00:23:05,360 --> 00:23:08,360
If you have any paraphernalia or anything like that.

384
00:23:08,360 --> 00:23:16,360
And that's why a lot of meetings you hear in Africa, people would bring their books, their charms and all that stuff and they have a big bonfire and they would burn them.

385
00:23:16,360 --> 00:23:19,360
Mm hmm. Cutting clean. You have to be cut and clean.

386
00:23:19,360 --> 00:23:26,360
So we are getting even as the Lord spoke to Moses to tell the children of Israel to prepare yourself.

387
00:23:26,360 --> 00:23:28,360
That's what the Holy Spirit is saying today. Yeah.

388
00:23:28,360 --> 00:23:38,360
Prepare yourself that and all the prophetic people are are saying this, you know, those that are really, you know, really what waiting for God to move. Prepare yourself for what's going to happen.

389
00:23:38,360 --> 00:23:44,360
Get clean. Yeah. Don't don't let stuff pull you down because, you know, God wants to use you.

390
00:23:44,360 --> 00:23:50,360
But if you're tied to things of this earth, it's going to be you could get bypassed. Yeah, it's true.

391
00:23:50,360 --> 00:23:56,360
It's true. Some of the things that he is planning to pour out are unprecedented.

392
00:23:56,360 --> 00:24:05,360
Yeah, it's like just imagine yourself among the children of Israel when they were escaping from Egypt and God told them.

393
00:24:05,360 --> 00:24:13,360
God told Moses, go to the Al-Zafon. That's a certain place right on the edge of the Red Sea. Yeah.

394
00:24:13,360 --> 00:24:19,360
OK. And it's as I recall, it's got kind of like a narrow canyon where you're you're boxed in.

395
00:24:19,360 --> 00:24:26,360
And so you're boxed in on the sides by this canyon. And then in front of you is the Red Sea.

396
00:24:26,360 --> 00:24:33,360
And here comes Pharaoh and his army. But God told them to go there. Yeah. OK.

397
00:24:33,360 --> 00:24:44,360
So go and do what I told you to do, doubting nothing. But the circumstances, they're going, Moses, why did you bring us out here to kill us?

398
00:24:44,360 --> 00:24:50,360
You know, here we're going to die. They they weren't doubting. Yeah.

399
00:24:50,360 --> 00:24:56,360
They were absolutely certain they were going to die. Yeah. That was certainty for them.

400
00:24:56,360 --> 00:25:00,360
And I'm sure Peter thought that, too. Remember, he's on the boat with the disciples. Oh, yeah.

401
00:25:00,360 --> 00:25:07,360
And Jesus appears in the storm. Yeah, he's walking on the water. So he walks on the water and and Peter can swim. Yeah.

402
00:25:07,360 --> 00:25:16,360
Peter's a good swimmer. But when you have waves like they were happen, but when he kept his eyes on Jesus, he was doing fine.

403
00:25:16,360 --> 00:25:25,360
But when he looked down, that's like when you're climbing a tall building, a ladder or something, you don't look down.

404
00:25:25,360 --> 00:25:30,360
I mean, I was just watching, you know, these little shorts come up on your phone sometimes.

405
00:25:30,360 --> 00:25:38,360
And they had a thing of China's amazing bridges. They have all glass bridges way up in the air. As you walk, they crack.

406
00:25:38,360 --> 00:25:43,360
They crack up here. And people are panicking on the bridge.

407
00:25:43,360 --> 00:25:49,360
They can't look in there, you know, because they think they're going to they're going to die. It's a panic.

408
00:25:49,360 --> 00:25:52,360
You know, it's really, really scary. Don't don't go on those things.

409
00:25:52,360 --> 00:25:58,360
You know, but Peter probably thought he was going to die because of the waves, even though he was a swimmer.

410
00:25:58,360 --> 00:26:06,360
You remember when when they're fishing after the disciples went to the Sea of Galilee and Jesus said, Terry, here, here.

411
00:26:06,360 --> 00:26:10,360
He says, Terry in Jerusalem to your dude with power on high.

412
00:26:10,360 --> 00:26:15,360
Well, I think they right. Right. It was before that. Yeah. Yeah, that's right.

413
00:26:15,360 --> 00:26:18,360
Because Jesus was resurrected. He he appeared to them.

414
00:26:18,360 --> 00:26:21,360
And Peter, Peter had already said, let's go fishing. Yeah, let's go.

415
00:26:21,360 --> 00:26:30,360
They had seven weeks between Passover and and I think it's young. And so they're so they're in the water and fish all night.

416
00:26:30,360 --> 00:26:34,360
You know, this is a repeat what happened before. They got nothing.

417
00:26:34,360 --> 00:26:38,360
Then all of a sudden, you know, there's a man on the shore.

418
00:26:38,360 --> 00:26:45,360
And what do you say? Are you catching anything? No, no.

419
00:26:45,360 --> 00:26:51,360
Cast it on the other side. Yeah. And what happened? They caught so much.

420
00:26:51,360 --> 00:26:57,360
And so what's Peter do? He said it is the Lord jumps in the water and swam.

421
00:26:57,360 --> 00:27:02,360
I mean, he swam. So, you know, Peter was a, you know, usually if you're a fisherman, you learn how to swim.

422
00:27:02,360 --> 00:27:07,360
I would think so. But what's amazing, you know, nobody's saying nothing.

423
00:27:07,360 --> 00:27:12,360
Here's fish. OK. Where did Jesus get the fish? Right.

424
00:27:12,360 --> 00:27:15,360
How did he get fish? He's already got fish on the grill. Did he have a net?

425
00:27:15,360 --> 00:27:20,360
How did he get out there far enough to catch him? He's got bread. Where did he get that?

426
00:27:20,360 --> 00:27:24,360
Yeah. If he can manufacture manna, he can do all that, too.

427
00:27:24,360 --> 00:27:28,360
Yeah. And they're all sitting and nobody's saying nothing. Yeah.

428
00:27:28,360 --> 00:27:34,360
You know, but then when Jesus says to Peter, do you love me more than these?

429
00:27:34,360 --> 00:27:38,360
Yeah. And of course, he did that three times. Right.

430
00:27:38,360 --> 00:27:44,360
But back to your point about he walked on the water because because he saw Jesus.

431
00:27:44,360 --> 00:27:47,360
Yeah. What Jesus told him to come. He said, come. Yeah.

432
00:27:47,360 --> 00:27:53,360
So he was obedient. Right. But in his obedience, he looked down and he doubted.

433
00:27:53,360 --> 00:27:57,360
Yeah. It was the doubting that made him doubt that made you sink. Yep.

434
00:27:57,360 --> 00:28:00,360
And what was that word we heard the other day? Yeah.

435
00:28:00,360 --> 00:28:06,360
Something about Peter didn't walk on the water. He walked on the word of the word of work, walked on the word of the Lord.

436
00:28:06,360 --> 00:28:15,360
Yeah. So that's this obedience thing that we're talking about, that when the Lord gives you a word, you need to do what he says without doubting.

437
00:28:15,360 --> 00:28:21,360
And that's what John did on the Isle of Patmos. And when he had his visitation. Yeah.

438
00:28:21,360 --> 00:28:27,360
And he wrote all these things down. Yeah. Like, well, he was obedient. Right.

439
00:28:27,360 --> 00:28:31,360
I mean, he was he was Jesus' best friend. I think so.

440
00:28:31,360 --> 00:28:36,360
But he and he had a glimpse of Jesus and his glorified body on them, you know, on the mountain.

441
00:28:36,360 --> 00:28:41,360
Peter, James and John, when they saw Jesus transfigured.

442
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:48,360
But now they saw Jesus in his glory that he had in heaven. Yes.

443
00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:55,360
And it was more than anybody could handle. Just ask Daniel. Just ask Isaiah. He fell at his feet is dead.

444
00:28:55,360 --> 00:29:04,360
He fell at his feet is dead. All my strength went out of me. You know, when you get to and you see that what happens and people in the presence of God.

445
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:08,360
Yeah. They just crumble. Yeah. Yeah, that's true.

446
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:13,360
It's true. You know, I've been pondering myself about.

447
00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:16,360
Well, I guess the Lord has kind of challenged me recently.

448
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:25,360
I've had at least three people recently have been saying to me, what is God saying about Engel tall?

449
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:32,360
That's the name of our headquarters. It's a German name that means Angel Valley or Valley of Angels.

450
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:36,360
And they're saying, you know, what is God saying about Engel tall?

451
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:42,360
What is he saying about global outpouring? What what what's ahead for us?

452
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:50,360
So I've been holding this before the Lord for weeks, weeks and weeks, trying to hear something new.

453
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:56,360
And so in the meantime, I'm going back through the history in in my memory.

454
00:29:56,360 --> 00:30:01,360
You know, I've been here. I came like two years after the founders arrived here.

455
00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:09,360
So I've been here for most of the history of of this ministry, at least once they moved to Arkansas.

456
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:13,360
It was started in Chicago some years before. And you were there then.

457
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:16,360
I mean, not that you were walking with the Lord, but you were there.

458
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:24,360
And so anyway, I just think it's interesting how he put it into our stewardship as our founders passed away.

459
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:29,360
But so I'm going through my mind about, OK, what is God saying?

460
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:36,360
So I know that in Sister Gwen, our founders in her administration, you know,

461
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:42,360
she just walked in this tremendous, anointing, tremendous prophetic gift,

462
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:48,360
tremendous writing, creative writing, music, all of these things and teaching.

463
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:50,360
She had a passion to teach the word.

464
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:55,360
And we had schools of ministry here for years and we had publishing of books.

465
00:30:55,360 --> 00:31:00,360
And, you know, back in those days, it was cassette tapes.

466
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:04,360
And then eventually we graduated to CDs and DVDs and DVDs.

467
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:09,360
And, you know, somewhere in there we did VHS tapes and, you know, videos.

468
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:13,360
It was about training people, about equipping people.

469
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:15,360
We still have that as our vision.

470
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:19,360
So I'm thinking, what is there something else? Is there something I'm missing?

471
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:25,360
So I'm holding this before the Lord. And and one morning I had this.

472
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:29,360
How shall I say it? It wasn't like I heard it in my ears.

473
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:34,360
I didn't hear an audible voice and I didn't really hear specific words.

474
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:37,360
But if I were to put it in words, it was like an impression.

475
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:44,360
And if I were to put it into words, it was like you've adopted the name global outpouring.

476
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:46,360
I want to do that here.

477
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:48,360
Yeah.

478
00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:53,360
So I began writing an article for a newsletter that we're putting out.

479
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:56,360
I guess by the time this podcast goes out,

480
00:31:56,360 --> 00:32:03,360
the newsletter should be in the hands of the people who are on our written mailing list.

481
00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:07,360
This is an old fashioned snail mail mailing.

482
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:11,360
So if you I've been encouraging you to get in our email list.

483
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:14,360
But if you're interested in getting the written one.

484
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:18,360
And honestly, last year we did one and we've done two this year.

485
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:23,360
So, wow, we used to try and do four or three here for quarterly newsletter.

486
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:26,360
I've been too busy anyway.

487
00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:33,360
If you're interested in being on that mailing list, send us the email to feedback at global outpouring.org

488
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:37,360
and give us your address and we'll get one of these off to you in the mail.

489
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:40,360
I don't even have time to turn it into something that we can email.

490
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:43,360
It's we just stay in busy anyway.

491
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:50,360
So I wrote this article as I'm as I'm writing it about what is God saying about Angle Tall.

492
00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:58,360
I'm writing it. I was reminded of the things that the Lord spoke to me when he gave us the new name of global outpouring.

493
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:02,360
And he talked about don't seek me for the outpouring.

494
00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:06,360
Seek me for my heart for the outpouring.

495
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:09,360
You know, we want to just say, oh, God, pour out your spirit.

496
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:11,360
Oh, God, pour out your spirit.

497
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:16,360
And just let that be on our on our lips all the time or thank you for the outpouring that's coming.

498
00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:19,360
But I want to know his heart.

499
00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:25,360
Because if we know his heart, we're more likely to know how he wants to do things.

500
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:27,360
Yes. So that's what he told us to do.

501
00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:32,360
And that was when he also told me that it's going to be like the book of Acts on steroids.

502
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:34,360
Wow. So that's I mean, that's huge.

503
00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:42,360
That's huge. As you read the book of Acts, it's it's fully packed and including persecution,

504
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:45,360
including going through some things.

505
00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:48,360
You know, how many times was Paul Shipwrecked?

506
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:50,360
Stoned. Stoned a few times.

507
00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:52,360
I mean, stuff happened.

508
00:33:52,360 --> 00:34:00,360
So there's stuff ahead that is both glorious and some stuff that we don't even want to think about.

509
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:03,360
And it's going to be like that on steroids.

510
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:11,360
But anyway, I'm going to take another quick parenthesis here that the Lord gave me a vision

511
00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:19,360
back in 1997 of something that he wants to do in this time of outpouring, of doing unprecedented things.

512
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:22,360
And we told all about it in episode one.

513
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:29,360
If you go all the way back to episode one, you will hear more about this, what God wants to do in this outpouring.

514
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:31,360
I won't take time for that right now.

515
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:38,360
But I ran across this prophecy that the Lord had given to our founder, Sister Gwen Shaw.

516
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:46,360
And, you know, it's something that was very present in my thinking from the time that the Lord gave it to her.

517
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:50,360
I think I think it was 2004. I'm not absolutely certain.

518
00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:58,360
But he spoke to her and said, Angle Tall is going to be the World Revival Center.

519
00:34:58,360 --> 00:34:59,360
Yeah.

520
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:03,360
Angle Tall is going to be the World Revival Center.

521
00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:05,360
And we're going, yeah.

522
00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:06,360
Yeah.

523
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:09,360
And she told us specific things to do, which we were doing.

524
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:12,360
And she didn't see the fulfillment of all that.

525
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:15,360
But I believe the word of the Lord is still true.

526
00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:18,360
And that's a big thing.

527
00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:20,360
The World Revival Center.

528
00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:26,360
I mean, what I'm saying is we don't have to understand what God says.

529
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:28,360
We just have to obey.

530
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:36,360
And when I was considering this word that the Lord gave to Sister Gwen and considering that it still is ahead for us,

531
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:42,360
that the Lord wants to make our headquarters the World Revival Center,

532
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:47,360
I could doubt about that because it's hard to get here.

533
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:50,360
But God has a purpose.

534
00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:55,360
And just as surely as the word of the Lord through Sister Gwen came to pass,

535
00:35:55,360 --> 00:36:02,360
when he spoke to her and through her that the Berlin Wall was going to come down two years before it came down.

536
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:07,360
And then when it came down, we were talking with our people in Berlin.

537
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:15,360
And Colonel Eugene Byrd was telling us that in the very place where she laid her hands and commanded the wall to come down,

538
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:18,360
that was the place where they broke it through.

539
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:19,360
Yeah.

540
00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:23,360
And some of our handmaidens were there with the tract, Who is Jesus?

541
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:24,360
Yes.

542
00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:27,360
In German language, passing them out as they came through.

543
00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:33,360
Exactly. And they're coming through from a communist nation where they've had no word of God.

544
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:34,360
There's no God.

545
00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:40,360
So while we were hearing all of this about what was going on there, she got the word of the Lord again.

546
00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:47,360
And the Lord said, just as I have done this in Berlin, I'm going to do it in the Kremlin.

547
00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:51,360
And communism fell there too.

548
00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:52,360
Yeah, 1991.

549
00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:58,360
Yeah. So, you know, my point is that she had a very accurate prophetic word.

550
00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:02,360
When she heard something from God, it was sure.

551
00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:08,360
And we've met people all over the world that she prophesied over that it's all come to pass.

552
00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:13,360
So, you know, whatever the Lord wants to do in terms of this,

553
00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:20,360
we're trusting that he is going to accomplish what he said and we're not going to doubt.

554
00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:26,360
Doubting nothing. We don't have to make it be a world revival center, a the world revival center.

555
00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:32,360
That's not up to us. What's up to us is to obey what we hear and what we see him doing.

556
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:33,360
And prepare.

557
00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:40,360
And prepare. You know, whatever God wants us to do to prepare, we're still listening.

558
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:44,360
You know, what is that? What is that? How are we supposed to do that?

559
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:48,360
So I think this podcast has something to do with it.

560
00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:52,360
We've been obedient. This is episode 239.

561
00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:55,360
We've been faithful week after week after week.

562
00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:56,360
Not missed one.

563
00:37:56,360 --> 00:38:04,360
Yeah. Glory to God. Help us stay on track and always be there with with the word of the Lord for the week.

564
00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:14,360
But my point is that whatever we are challenged with, our job is just to go and do it.

565
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:15,360
Doubting nothing.

566
00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:16,360
Doubting nothing.

567
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:22,360
Without hesitation. That was that was one of the other translations of that.

568
00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:23,360
Yeah. That's right.

569
00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:36,360
In Acts 1020, the CSB says, get up, go downstairs and go with them with no doubts at all, because I have sent them.

570
00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:40,360
Do it with no doubts at all. We don't have to understand it.

571
00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:43,360
We don't have to understand what God is telling us to do.

572
00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:44,360
We just have to do it.

573
00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:51,360
Now, I'll add this little this little caveat that you need to test the spirits that are speaking to you.

574
00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:58,360
Make sure that that whatever voice is speaking to you is saying you ask it.

575
00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:00,360
Did Jesus Christ come in the flesh?

576
00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:03,360
It's like our camp breaking camp early last week.

577
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:05,360
Oh, yeah. A few weeks ago. Yeah.

578
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:09,360
The Lord just spoke to me. Pack up and go home.

579
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:10,360
We got two days left.

580
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:15,360
Yeah, but we we obeyed and we still really don't even know why.

581
00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:17,360
But we obeyed. And I think that was the point.

582
00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:22,360
Yeah. A lot of things to do, too, before we leave on the next trip.

583
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:23,360
Yeah, it's true.

584
00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:35,360
And the other thing that in the Passion Translation of that scripture, as Peter was in deep thought, trying to interpret the vision, the Spirit said to him, go downstairs now for three men are looking for you.

585
00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:40,360
Don't hesitate to go with them because I have sent them. Don't hesitate.

586
00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:46,360
Yeah. So when you get a word of the Lord and you know that you've already tested it, you know that it's the word of the Lord.

587
00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:52,360
Go. Doubting nothing. Obey. Yeah. Doubting nothing.

588
00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:58,360
Is the Lord speaking to you about something? Has he given you something to do? Go and do it.

589
00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:07,360
Now, be sure you get your confirmations. But when you got your confirmations, like when we went to Tibet, we've told that story.

590
00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:12,360
We had like five or six or seven big confirmations.

591
00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:15,360
OK, OK, I think we got the message. Yes, we will go.

592
00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:18,360
So you just make sure that you get the confirmations.

593
00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:29,360
Gideon kept asking, and God doesn't mind doing that as long as you're doing it from a really honest heart.

594
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:38,360
I suppose Gideon was doubting, but God made it clear enough for him to go forward without doubting.

595
00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:41,360
Do you want to pray for our listeners?

596
00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:53,360
Oh, Father, we thank you, Lord, for these words, Lord, and scriptures and that, Father, that those listening, Lord, if there's some, they're just kind of waffling or did I hear this? Did I not hear that?

597
00:40:53,360 --> 00:41:04,360
But that, Father, that even asking for confirmation that they would know that they can go forth and do what you tell them to do, doubting nothing, because we can trust in your word.

598
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:08,360
You hold your word true. Your word is true.

599
00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:11,360
Hallelujah to everything you speak is true.

600
00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:21,360
And we're in a position to hear your voice that we can clearly hear it and, Lord, and we can do what's on your heart and not what is on our heart.

601
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:26,360
Yes. So we thank you, Father, in your name, Lord Jesus. Amen.
