Welcome to Keep It 100 podcast with Sean and Christa Smith.

2
00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:12,480
Join us in this space where we take on real issues with real insight and real inspiration.

00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:16,800
This podcast is for those not looking for temporary relief to change circumstance but

4
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:20,560
revelation to forever change lives.

5
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:25,120
Hey everyone, welcome to another episode of Keep It 100 with Sean and Christa Smith.

6
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:27,640
Hey all our peeps, how you guys doing?

7
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:32,200
You guys, can you believe, I was just thinking about this, I think we started this in 2020.

8
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:34,320
We're like two and a half years into this podcast.

9
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:35,320
Is that right Sean?

10
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:43,240
It is true and we eclipsed over 200,000 downloads in 84 different nations.

11
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:45,720
And there's a thing that evaluates downloads.

12
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:49,520
It puts us in the top 1% globally in podcast.

13
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:54,040
But as I've said to my friends, I'm not trying to break our arms, pat us on the back.

14
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:59,080
I actually think there's so many bad podcasts out there that helps our cause.

15
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:00,080
That's probably it.

16
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:01,080
That's super funny.

17
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:04,720
We just want to thank you for being a part of the Keep It 100 tribe, for downloading,

18
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:05,720
for sharing.

19
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:06,720
So many of you shout out on social media.

20
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:09,600
It means so much just for you guys to be a part of this.

21
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:15,040
We really do this for you and so your feedback is amazing and I'm so excited that we're going

22
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:20,000
to jump into this conversation because we have the incredible Will Ford on this episode.

23
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,560
And it is so rich because that man is like a walking revelation, right?

24
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:24,560
And I'm not exaggerating.

25
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:29,920
Literally every time I talk to Will or you talk to Will, the man has so much consistent

26
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:30,920
revelation.

27
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:34,040
If you guys aren't already connected to Will and DeHavill and Ford, their dear friends

28
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:35,560
of ours get connected to their ministry.

29
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:36,560
They're the real deal.

30
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:40,920
But before we dive into that conversation, we have a really cool, just kind of highlight

31
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:42,760
though we want to talk about.

32
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,880
Many of you know we had our momentum conference this past January.

33
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:47,680
God did the incredible.

34
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:49,680
He did the unprecedented.

35
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,080
And we saw, we kept saying it's not a conference.

36
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:53,080
I promise you.

37
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:54,080
It's not a conference.

38
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:55,200
Get in the room.

39
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,760
And we, it really was one of those moments where you just wanted to be in the room and

40
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:02,680
we know so many of you that were and so many of you said, I wasn't this year, but I'm coming

41
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,400
in 2024 and we are having momentum 2024.

42
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,320
We'll tell you those dates later.

43
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:11,840
But you know, we, we, we felt enough of an unction of the Holy spirit to keep it going

44
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:13,760
and not to force it, but just to respond.

45
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:17,240
And when as Barry broke out, we really felt a holy invitation of what's the response in

46
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:18,240
the bay.

47
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:22,920
So Sean and I just prayed and we felt like it was to be on St. Patrick's Day.

48
00:02:22,920 --> 00:02:25,960
May, March 17th here in Oakland, California.

49
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,360
And there's so many revival wells.

50
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:32,640
There's so many wells of the past, just people of great faith that have come.

51
00:02:32,640 --> 00:02:36,520
The Smith Wigglesworth, Catherine Coleman, Ryan Woodworth, Edder, so on and so forth

52
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,960
have come through the bay area and have massive moves of God.

53
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,920
And we feel like we're in this place where we're, we're redigging the well.

54
00:02:42,920 --> 00:02:47,440
So having it on St. Patty's Day, Sean, it was really significant.

55
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,520
I'm going to just give a little bit of a recap or maybe you do that.

56
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:54,840
Well, you know, the, the recap is that we just had, first of all, over, it was overflow

57
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:55,840
crowd.

58
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:56,840
It was close to 400 people.

59
00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:01,280
If not 400 folks showed up on two weeks notice, two weeks, we just put it up on Instagram

60
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:02,280
that, Hey, come join us.

61
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,160
If you're hungry, these momentum nights are free.

62
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:08,600
We're just coming together to seek the face of God and seek a move of God.

63
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:10,360
And then ultimately become that move.

64
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,280
And worship was profound.

65
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,640
There was just some prophetic words you gave prophetic.

66
00:03:15,640 --> 00:03:16,640
And you, yes.

67
00:03:16,640 --> 00:03:17,640
And there was deliverance.

68
00:03:17,640 --> 00:03:18,640
There were salvations.

69
00:03:18,640 --> 00:03:21,960
We had eight people respond to give their life to Christ.

70
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:23,560
I just shared this simple thought.

71
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:25,280
First Kings 18, I'll just throw this out there.

72
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:26,280
This is a challenge.

73
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:30,960
Keep 100 tribe that after Elijah went up on the mountain and challenged the 850 false

74
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:35,160
prophets, some of Baal, some of Asura, they couldn't call down fire.

75
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,920
In other words, their gods were mute, but in dead and they weren't gods at all.

76
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:40,640
Small G, but Elijah called on the real God.

77
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:43,720
And when he did fire fell, but I, many people are preaching on that.

78
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:48,080
What I preach on is the very next part, the wicked King Ahab, who is the King over the

79
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:52,880
nation that should have been leading the people towards God Yahweh, Jehovah.

80
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:58,000
He actually allowed, he and his wife, Jezebel, they allowed worship of Baal.

81
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,840
And so right after fire fell, there were two contrasted response.

82
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:06,560
It says Ahab went, ate and drank like he went and got an indulgence flesh.

83
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:08,120
He went back and did what he always did.

84
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:09,680
He went back and Netflix binge.

85
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:14,400
He went back and just started scrolling and just on, on Instagram and on, you know, social

86
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:18,240
media, he just went back and did what he always does, but after the fire fell, says

87
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,880
Elijah went up on the top of the mountain, put his face between his legs.

88
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:25,240
In other words, he just got kind of in a birthing position and cried out.

89
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,160
And then he called his servant to go look for the reign of God.

90
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:32,520
And after seven times looking, they saw the hand, a cloud the size of a man's hand and

91
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:33,520
rain fell.

92
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:34,520
So here's the whole principle.

93
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:36,960
Like when fire falls, what is your response?

94
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:41,480
Ahab went, ate and drank and, and chilled, but Elijah got in a birthing position.

95
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:47,200
It says, no, the fire is a sign, but I'm still on assignment till I see rain fall.

96
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:48,760
And that's what I think momentum is about.

97
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:52,600
That's what I think is the cry of God and what he's putting in his people right now

98
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:53,960
is that we see fire fall.

99
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:54,960
It has buried.

100
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:55,960
We see fire fall.

101
00:04:55,960 --> 00:05:00,240
Just simply even in response to the success of the Jesus, a revolution movie and all the

102
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,800
different stories that are taking place all over America and even the nations of the world,

103
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,840
fires falling, but are you going to go back and simply do Christianity?

104
00:05:06,840 --> 00:05:10,840
We always done Christianity, or you're going to get in position to partner with God to

105
00:05:10,840 --> 00:05:12,360
birth the rain of God.

106
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:13,720
Cause there's a rain.

107
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:19,200
Fire falling is what it takes to get folks attention, but rain is what causes the harvest

108
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:20,200
to come forth.

109
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:24,640
And then we had a massive time of everybody, bum rush and the altar at the end, more prophetic

110
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:29,480
ministry, healings, deliverances, people, we had a four hour service.

111
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:34,400
So when you say, share with what God did, man, I could go on forever, but it was memorable.

112
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:37,560
It was, I just say it was kingdom magical is what it was.

113
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:38,560
It really was.

114
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,920
You know, what we've been praying for, what we've been believing for, and to live in the

115
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,920
days where you're actually beginning to see what you've been praying for.

116
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,160
And I think so many people across the nation feel like this.

117
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,920
We really are in the days of what we've been contending for.

118
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,880
And we're, for some, they might be farther along and feel like in the way we're in that

119
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:55,760
embryo state, just those beginning stages.

120
00:05:55,760 --> 00:06:00,160
And it's so exciting just to see a company of people that are really, really hungry from

121
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:01,920
all different churches all over the region.

122
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:03,160
We had people come up from LA.

123
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:05,280
We had people come from Sacramento.

124
00:06:05,280 --> 00:06:08,280
They came from all over the bay, which on Friday night traffic, you know, there's a

125
00:06:08,280 --> 00:06:09,280
commitment to come.

126
00:06:09,280 --> 00:06:10,400
Yeah, from Reading.

127
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:14,000
We had a Bethel team come down to partner with us.

128
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:15,880
And they were already coming down on their own.

129
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:19,480
And then they got wind that we were doing something and they jumped in and joined us,

130
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:23,240
which was just awesome to have them and just incredible partnership there.

131
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,240
But, you know, I thought it was really cool.

132
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,040
My dad actually pointed out a really powerful revelation.

133
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:31,920
You know, we did it on St. Patty's Day, but even to back it up a little bit in January,

134
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:36,960
we hosted our momentum conference in Dublin, California named after like Dublin, Ireland

135
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:38,400
the same.

136
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:42,680
And we then had it on St. Patty's Day, you know, our next momentum, what we're calling

137
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:46,240
nights and we're shifting to like a monthly gathering here in the bay that we're calling

138
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:47,400
a momentum night.

139
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:51,240
Just believe for, you know, the Holy Ghost to move for people to get saved and experience

140
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:55,120
God and encounter and kind of like what we've been seeing and just more of it.

141
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:59,440
And so my dad talked about, you know, St. Patrick was a really significant saint and

142
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,520
he was a reformer and a revivalist from Ireland.

143
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:07,440
He was actually an Englishman kidnapped, brought to Ireland, but he brought reformation to

144
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,600
a nation that he actually initially held in captivity.

145
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:11,640
He was held in captivity.

146
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,920
He actually brought freedom to the place that actually held him in captivity.

147
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:15,920
How powerful is that?

148
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:16,920
Number one.

149
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:17,920
That's good.

150
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:21,520
And then, and then what's really powerful is, I guess in Ireland, when you study it,

151
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:24,640
my dad began to read because he just kind of began to get this revelation that I thought

152
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:26,320
was, man, it's profound.

153
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:30,680
He talked about how there was a battle over the fire and he wasn't sure because the historical

154
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:35,560
books didn't quite indicate was this supernatural fire like Mount Carmel fire or is this a fire

155
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:36,560
in the natural?

156
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:40,680
We don't know, but we just know that there was whoever had the control of the fire had

157
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:42,200
control of the nation.

158
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:47,960
And so Ireland at that time was one of Druid worship like warlocks and witches and they

159
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:50,720
had control of the fire.

160
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:54,720
And it was really interesting because when St. Patrick came to Ireland, he got control

161
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:55,720
of the fire.

162
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:59,920
So then it shifted the nation and brought reformation and made a Druid worshiping nation

163
00:07:59,920 --> 00:08:04,960
and now a Christian nation because again, God brought the authentic fire.

164
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:08,560
And so when you preached about fire, it was just really significant because I feel like

165
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:10,320
we're bringing that to the Bay.

166
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:15,960
And one of the strategies that St. Patrick had was what's called a ring of fire.

167
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:21,080
And he would go to different cities in Ireland and actually bring the fire of God.

168
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:22,520
And it created like a circle.

169
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:28,840
It created like a ring of fire where everything began to burn for God, you know, metaphorically.

170
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:32,280
And so in spiritually, I should say, maybe that's a better way to say it spiritually,

171
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:33,680
people began to burn.

172
00:08:33,680 --> 00:08:38,080
And so I feel like we're in a sense maybe walking in those same footsteps here in the

173
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:43,120
Bay like St. Patrick, we're creating a ring of fire and we're doing different cities in

174
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:46,380
the Bay and we're really believing for a massive outpouring.

175
00:08:46,380 --> 00:08:49,560
But it comes to a strategy, but it also comes with the divine intervention, which we're

176
00:08:49,560 --> 00:08:51,480
believing the fire of God to come down.

177
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:55,240
So I just thought that was super powerful and some really powerful insight from my dad.

178
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:56,440
Come on, Tommy, Tommy P.

179
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,760
You know, I love that ring of fire thing because I don't know that you know this, but back

180
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:04,000
when Mario Morello during the Jesus people movement was doing ministry in the Bay area,

181
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:10,080
he had fires that were breaking out in Berkeley of radical UC Berkeley students getting saved.

182
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:14,480
San Jose had an outbreak and he had some things he was doing also in Oakland and some other

183
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,280
spots, but he called it because he's far started to merge.

184
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:20,400
He called it literally the ring of fire all across the Bay.

185
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:21,400
So that's crazy.

186
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:22,400
Oh my God.

187
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:23,400
That whole thing.

188
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:24,400
So I didn't know that.

189
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:25,400
Yeah, that's profound.

190
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:26,400
That is profound.

191
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:27,400
That's a great story.

192
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:28,400
Yep.

193
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:29,400
Well, I keep it 100 tribe.

194
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:33,400
You are in for a precious, I say life changing.

195
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:34,400
This is going to change your life.

196
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:35,880
Somebody we have Will Ford.

197
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:39,200
He and his wife are co directors of 818 assigned ministry.

198
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:40,200
They are powerful.

199
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,620
They're shaking the nation and nations of the world.

200
00:09:42,620 --> 00:09:48,120
He has an incredible story that he talks about a little bit in the interview, but they're

201
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:49,600
going to turn it into a movie.

202
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,640
So just like you've seen movies is being picked up right now.

203
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:55,720
So his life and testimony is going to be a miracle.

204
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:57,760
He is taught at Christ for the nations.

205
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:01,000
He has worked as a marketplace prophet.

206
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,560
Now he and his wife, I tend to rate, he's an author.

207
00:10:04,560 --> 00:10:06,440
He is a incredible speaker.

208
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:07,560
He's an intercessor.

209
00:10:07,560 --> 00:10:09,240
He's an amazing husband and dad.

210
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:16,600
So right now join us in this incredible conversation on revival, reverence and race with will Ford.

211
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:17,800
Keep it 100 tribe.

212
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:22,480
I know you guys hear me say this often that you are in for something special, but you have

213
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:23,480
no idea.

214
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:24,480
Words cannot describe.

215
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:27,280
I got my brother will Ford on here.

216
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:32,560
He is one of my closest friends and he is my brother on planet earth.

217
00:10:32,560 --> 00:10:34,440
He and I talk regularly.

218
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:36,240
Our families are close.

219
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:37,240
We hang.

220
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:38,240
Oh my God.

221
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:39,560
We have the same spiritual mother.

222
00:10:39,560 --> 00:10:42,600
We are brothers and every says will will what's going on, bro?

223
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:44,560
What's up big brother Sean?

224
00:10:44,560 --> 00:10:45,560
Love man.

225
00:10:45,560 --> 00:10:49,800
Love doing life with you and so excited about what God is doing with you and your ministry

226
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:50,800
and Christa man.

227
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:52,880
Just we're in the season that we've been praying for bro.

228
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:54,080
I mean, we're in it.

229
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:55,080
We're in it.

230
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:58,800
I think and I just appreciate all the for running you've done, you know, to train up

231
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:01,840
a generation to embrace the moment we're in right now.

232
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:04,680
So I'm super excited and I'm excited to be with you today.

233
00:11:04,680 --> 00:11:05,680
Oh man.

234
00:11:05,680 --> 00:11:11,160
Can't can't even begin to describe will as I mentioned earlier is a prolific author.

235
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,720
He is truly it's funny.

236
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:18,640
Hill Caya in the Bible brought the book of the law to Josiah and caused Josiah to go

237
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:25,360
into this righteous holy ghost rampage of reformation and will is the kind of guy that

238
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:26,560
will do just that.

239
00:11:26,560 --> 00:11:30,240
And so will man, you have been at prayer events.

240
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:36,160
You have convened and brought together people from all over and all situations where there

241
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:42,080
was kingdom justice, whether it was in prayer meetings, whether it was speaking to young

242
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:46,960
African Americans and mentoring you and your wife, you guys have just incredible ministry.

243
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:52,640
You travel to churches, you've spoken together with Matt Lockett and in a most profound story

244
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:53,800
of racial unity.

245
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:55,240
So we're going to dive right in this.

246
00:11:55,240 --> 00:12:01,080
And so yeah, we normally ask people's origin story, but we've had you on keep it 100.

247
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:04,160
This is the first time that we've had a guy come back and repeat.

248
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:06,760
So I thought of a different question to ask you.

249
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:08,360
So here's the question, will.

250
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:12,200
What was the first moment you knew that God was the God of the supernatural?

251
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:15,120
Always love out to finding out how someone was saved.

252
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:19,880
I love to find out what was their Mount Carmel moment when fire fell and they said, the Lord

253
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:21,760
is God, the Lord is God, the Lord is God.

254
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:22,760
What was that for you?

255
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:27,960
Well, you know, I could say when I first got baptized in the Holy Ghost, but beyond that

256
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,080
though, I went through a period.

257
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:35,480
I got burned, you know, church heard people talk about it, whatever, but I grew up in

258
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:38,440
a church that didn't believe in any of the gifts of the spirit.

259
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:42,880
I grew up in a church that didn't believe in any instruments could be used because they

260
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,000
didn't see it in the New Testament and all those things.

261
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:48,440
We had the right name on the building and all that stuff and the gifts of the spirit

262
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:49,440
were not for the day.

263
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:54,200
But in the midst of that environment, with me asking questions and reading the Bible,

264
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:58,240
I encountered the Lord and I had to leave that church because I started speaking in

265
00:12:58,240 --> 00:12:59,240
tongues.

266
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,960
But then I went from that church to a Charismaniac church.

267
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:04,360
So shout out to a Charismaniac church.

268
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:05,360
Oh, wow.

269
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:09,680
Where you had to speak in tongues, you had to raise your hands, you know, and I went

270
00:13:09,680 --> 00:13:12,120
from don't speak in tongues to you better speak in tongues.

271
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:14,040
Don't raise your hands so you better raise your hands.

272
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:17,800
And the honest truth about what was going on in both environments, usually when you have

273
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:22,360
a place like that where it's that legalistic, people are controlling because they're out

274
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,240
of control in other areas of their life.

275
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:30,760
And so both those leaders, whether Charismaniac or non-Charismaniac, man, they were, they had

276
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:33,360
some other stuff going on with immorality.

277
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:35,120
And so I just, I got disillusioned.

278
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:40,320
So what I did, Sean, I went to a cemetery of a seminary and I just decided I was going

279
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:42,080
to stop speaking in tongues.

280
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:49,040
And I felt like my best route to do Christian life was to know more than anybody else.

281
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:51,560
And I was just going to learn all like that.

282
00:13:51,560 --> 00:13:55,400
But I was becoming like that guy, you know, like the guy who learns everything he knows

283
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:58,120
about Michael Jordan, but they don't know Michael Jordan.

284
00:13:58,120 --> 00:13:59,120
Wow, come on.

285
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:01,240
They know his stance and his figures and everything.

286
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:02,560
But they wiked up to Jordan on the street.

287
00:14:02,560 --> 00:14:04,520
Michael Jordan was like, I don't know you.

288
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:06,520
I was taking that kind of approach with God.

289
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:08,120
I was just going to learn the principles.

290
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:14,000
I was going to, the seminary I went to believed that revival wouldn't come to America until

291
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:15,960
the layman learned Greek and Hebrew.

292
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:18,840
And I was fully immersing myself in that.

293
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:20,400
And they didn't believe in any of the gifts.

294
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:22,280
They believed in his stuff.

295
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:26,680
All that to say, that set the stage for me showing up at a revival meeting.

296
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:29,560
My sister told me, she said, you know, you have to come to this.

297
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:32,640
This, this, God is moving and you have to be a part of this.

298
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:36,800
Now my other sisters, they were already, you know, hungry for God and walking and gifts

299
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:37,800
to the spirit and all that.

300
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:41,880
And this younger sister of mine, man, she was about like, I was, she was resistant,

301
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:45,640
but she got lit up like a Christmas tree at a revival meeting.

302
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:47,840
And so she was telling me about the things that were happening.

303
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:50,560
I was like, look, you know what, that stuff is just so whatever.

304
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:54,840
There's a bunch of hype as well as emotionalism, you know, those same kind of manifestations

305
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:56,480
having in other religions even.

306
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:59,680
Matter of fact, I'm going to go there and I'm going to show you how wrong all this

307
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:00,680
stuff is.

308
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:07,520
So, Sean, I show up there and I pulled up my Greek key, Hebrew study Bible, pulled it

309
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:09,160
out, I pulled out my notepad.

310
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:11,640
I'm just waiting for the guy to get up there and speak.

311
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:16,080
And the next thing I knew, the power of God hit that place in such a profound way.

312
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:19,600
The worship leader could not leave worship any longer.

313
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:21,120
She could no longer speak.

314
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:24,200
She just sunk under the weight of the glory of God.

315
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:26,840
And Sean, nobody laid hands on me or anything.

316
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:32,320
And in the midst of my doubt and unbelief, the power of God hit me.

317
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:39,680
And I felt electricity hit me on the top back and it went to the soles of my feet.

318
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:44,760
And I stayed under the weight of the glory of God for about three days.

319
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:46,320
I stayed under the weight of that.

320
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:51,640
And I spent the next three months in scripture trying to figure out what happened to me.

321
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:55,560
And I realized there are a couple of different words for glory in Hebrew one is shekaina,

322
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:56,960
but the other one is kabah.

323
00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,520
And I realized, oh my God, that's what I felt.

324
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:00,520
I'm sorry.

325
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:01,520
I don't even know what I'm talking about.

326
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:03,400
Bro, we love that, dude.

327
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:04,400
That's real.

328
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:05,400
It hit me, man.

329
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:06,880
And I'm, yeah.

330
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:09,800
But I guess I'm blown away by the love of God in the midst of it.

331
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:11,720
Because in the midst of the pointy my finger.

332
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:13,360
Mmm, come on, man.

333
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:18,840
He would be on all that and love me in love to release a weighty blanket over me of love.

334
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:21,840
It was the most profound deep up I've ever felt.

335
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:25,520
And that was around 1995, 1996.

336
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:29,040
And that changed everything for me, Sean.

337
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:30,040
That's what changed.

338
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:31,040
Yeah.

339
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:32,040
Ew.

340
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:33,040
Bro, you know what?

341
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:39,000
Now, bro, as tight as we are, there are details in that story I've never heard before.

342
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,960
You had ecclesiastical whiplash, bro.

343
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:44,640
You hear from that one church, bro.

344
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:46,200
You can't do nothing to everything.

345
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:50,720
And I love what you said that a lot of times leaders who are out of control compensate

346
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:53,640
by being in control is the old classic, you know, the comb over.

347
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:57,680
You know, you're going to over exaggerate the guys is losing their hair.

348
00:16:57,680 --> 00:16:59,200
We pray for everyone that's out there.

349
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:01,600
I'm sure that's a struggle to battle.

350
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:08,640
But is that competition book for you to say here you kind of set yourself up as a skeptical

351
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:14,520
like in that moment, the power of God hits you, overwhelms you so hard, man.

352
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:15,520
I couldn't shake it.

353
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:16,520
I couldn't shake it.

354
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:17,520
Man.

355
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:20,800
My arms, I couldn't even keep my arms on the armrest.

356
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:21,800
You know what I mean?

357
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:26,880
To say I was drunk in the spirit is too light of an explanation to describe.

358
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:30,640
It was like somebody put one of those heavy weighty blankets on.

359
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:35,880
And I felt the deepest profound love I've ever felt even in the midst of my skepticism and

360
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:37,680
my pointing finger, man.

361
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:38,680
God loved me.

362
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:43,880
And he revealed the truth to me about, you know, just raw God revival and what's available

363
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:44,880
to us right now.

364
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:46,360
You know, that's the thing right now.

365
00:17:46,360 --> 00:17:48,240
You know, now's not the time for the cynic.

366
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:53,040
You know, we look at what's happening at Asbury right now and a good friend of mine said

367
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:57,120
it best, he said, you know, when the ark is on the move, don't be like us.

368
00:17:57,120 --> 00:17:59,480
When the ark is on the move, don't touch it.

369
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:01,360
God is on the move right now, y'all.

370
00:18:01,360 --> 00:18:04,400
You know, what's happening at Asbury is so pure.

371
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:06,400
It is so holy.

372
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:10,440
You know, it may not have all the bells and whistles what we like to see from a Zusa street

373
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:11,440
or anything else.

374
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:16,040
But let me tell you, I've had a young person who, one of my spiritual sons, he was like,

375
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:17,040
should I come here?

376
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:19,320
You preach on Sunday because I was preaching in town.

377
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:22,480
And you know, I was going to go for it, you know, because God is on the move.

378
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:24,120
And he said, oh, should I go to Asbury?

379
00:18:24,120 --> 00:18:25,120
I got an opportunity to go to Asbury.

380
00:18:25,120 --> 00:18:26,120
I said, son, let's hear.

381
00:18:26,120 --> 00:18:27,640
I'm betting on a come on Sunday.

382
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:28,640
All right.

383
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:30,240
But God is moving at Asbury.

384
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:31,240
Go.

385
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:34,280
So he goes and he's seen, you know, I mean, mercy culture church, amazing church, landing

386
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:38,360
shot, Heather shot, amazing, you know, things are happening there at signs, wonders, guys

387
00:18:38,360 --> 00:18:40,080
breaking out, but Sean, you're not both.

388
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:43,600
No, there's something different when weighty glory just presents.

389
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:49,040
It's just over a place, you know, all of his best to call it an outpouring or whatever.

390
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:53,520
Revival is not when brother wonderful and Reverend flip flop show up to town.

391
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:56,720
It's when God shows up and you can't orchestrate it.

392
00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:59,000
You can't, you can't manufacture it.

393
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:02,200
And when that happens, I mean people, you know, you want to get more people in your

394
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:03,200
church, get the presence.

395
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:04,200
And that's what happens.

396
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:09,120
The weighty glory presence of God shows up and he's showing up at Asbury often different

397
00:19:09,120 --> 00:19:10,120
times.

398
00:19:10,120 --> 00:19:11,120
I'll talk about that in a little bit.

399
00:19:11,120 --> 00:19:13,120
So I told the spirit of the son, I said, go to Asbury.

400
00:19:13,120 --> 00:19:14,120
So he's seen a lot.

401
00:19:14,120 --> 00:19:15,640
He's been in the midst of God moving.

402
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:16,640
He's been touched by God.

403
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:17,640
He's in Bible school.

404
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:18,640
He's doing amazing.

405
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:19,640
He came back.

406
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:23,640
I asked him, I said, Chris, what was your time like an as he stuttered and stammered

407
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:24,640
for five minutes.

408
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:25,640
Wow.

409
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:27,800
And he, and he wept and he cried.

410
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:32,560
And what he said was it was the most, it was the deepest, most profound love you've ever

411
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:34,360
felt in any time in his life.

412
00:19:34,360 --> 00:19:38,880
And as well as the deepest level of conviction he'd ever experienced in his life.

413
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:43,640
And then also, Sean, he said this, he'd never been around more kind people, hosted people

414
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:45,920
for any kind of church gathering or anything.

415
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:46,920
He wept at the kindness.

416
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:51,640
And you know, that's something too that Sean, because you know, you say better than anybody,

417
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:55,800
you know, the thing that is kinder, more revivals has been the clock and our schedules.

418
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:56,800
Right.

419
00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:57,800
And so here it is.

420
00:19:57,800 --> 00:19:58,800
This school shuts down everything.

421
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:02,320
And, you know, a God chance to spend some time with Tommy Tend, one of the things he

422
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:07,320
told you said, one of the marks of a true revival with God comes to stay in a region,

423
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:12,040
it depends in large part on how people host the people who are coming.

424
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:16,960
If you are a good host of people, God will allow you to host his presence.

425
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:18,440
And that's what he saw there.

426
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:20,840
He said it was some of the kindest people you ever met.

427
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:23,480
He said, yeah, there were little, you know, things where people would try to, you know,

428
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:27,240
move it their way to get in and try to throw your name around here and there to try to

429
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:28,880
get to the front or whatever.

430
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:31,280
They dealt with that in such a gracious way.

431
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:36,880
And at the same time, they minister to the Lord in such a profound way that two and a

432
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:42,920
half weeks, I think the small estimates are that over 50,000 people just converge on this

433
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:45,320
on this little town of 6,000 people.

434
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:51,480
The largest estimates I heard over 120,000 people showed up over that 16, 17, I think

435
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:58,160
it was 18 days of continuous night and day worship prayer testimonies and just raw God,

436
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:00,920
raw presence and the holiness of the Lord.

437
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:02,720
That's what the people keep talking to me about.

438
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:09,080
There's just how holy the, just the tangible presence of the Lord was while there.

439
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:10,080
And it's spreading.

440
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:11,080
It's not just staying there.

441
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:12,320
Texas A&M is getting hit.

442
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:14,600
The university being hit is spreading.

443
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:15,600
It's interesting.

444
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:19,440
Yeah, Baylor University, yeah, with some young people from our church that are being

445
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:20,920
part of what's happening in Baylor.

446
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,280
So God is moving y'all.

447
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:26,520
And you know, we're gonna seek the Lord while he may be found time, you know.

448
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:30,040
And Sean, I remember playing hide and go seek with the boys, you know.

449
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:31,040
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

450
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:32,040
I got two little boys.

451
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:36,560
When I play hide and seek with my boys, the idea is not for them not to find me, you know,

452
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:40,360
but the idea is that I like to stick my foot out from underneath the curtain a little bit

453
00:21:40,360 --> 00:21:41,360
so they can find me.

454
00:21:41,360 --> 00:21:42,360
Yes.

455
00:21:42,360 --> 00:21:43,360
That's what God is doing right now.

456
00:21:43,360 --> 00:21:48,040
He's sticking his foot out from underneath the curtain.

457
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:54,520
And it's so beautiful about, he said, he's a reward of those who diligently seek him.

458
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:55,520
That's not even finding them.

459
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:56,520
He ain't even finding them.

460
00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:58,160
He's gonna reward you for seeking.

461
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:02,320
But oh, but when we find them, oh, when a generation find them.

462
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:06,400
And a generation of people that have written off Gen Z who thought, you know, the least

463
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:10,720
this, the least that, struggling with identity issues of all kinds, going to schools where

464
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:13,200
they say that there are over 107 genders.

465
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:16,240
God says, okay, the very one you're gonna write off, that's what I'm putting my hand

466
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:17,240
on right now.

467
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:18,240
Man.

468
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:19,240
And that's what's happening right now, y'all.

469
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:20,240
Come on.

470
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:21,640
Will, I mean, that leads in.

471
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:26,400
How would you encourage someone today, bro, that our listeners keep your 100th tribe?

472
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:29,120
They're like, Hey, I feel like God is doing something different.

473
00:22:29,120 --> 00:22:30,120
Like revival is imminent.

474
00:22:30,120 --> 00:22:33,640
I mean, you're sharing with us about these awesome things.

475
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:38,440
How would you specifically encourage you're sitting across Starbucks from a person and

476
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:42,040
you're saying, Hey, I want you to know this time is so unique in history.

477
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:45,240
Even in the beginning, you were talking about what are some of the things you would, you

478
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:50,440
would share with them to let them know this is not just anybody's chronos moment.

479
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:53,480
This is a Cairo's time epic in God.

480
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:54,480
How would you encourage it?

481
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:55,480
It's a Cairo's epic time.

482
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:59,000
I got, let me, let me tell you, let me give you a little bit of a backdrop, y'all, on

483
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:02,200
keeping 100 family, just to keep it 100 for you.

484
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:04,000
Why this is significant.

485
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:05,000
Okay.

486
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:08,480
Asbury University has experienced several outpourings similar to this.

487
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:09,480
All right.

488
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:10,480
The first one wasn't in 1970.

489
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:15,760
I think one of the first ones is around 1856 or maybe not there in that area.

490
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:18,160
And that was during the second grade awakening that happened.

491
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:22,960
But then 1905, they had a power for outpouring on all the spirit there.

492
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:24,360
But guess what happened around the same time?

493
00:23:24,360 --> 00:23:25,360
Yeah.

494
00:23:25,360 --> 00:23:27,600
Evan Roberts with the Welsh revival.

495
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:32,600
And they also had William Seymour with the Azusa Street revival all around the same time.

496
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:38,360
Then later on 1950, there was a major outpouring of the Holy spirit at Asbury.

497
00:23:38,360 --> 00:23:41,320
This one was centered more around intercession, intercessory prayer.

498
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:44,360
And they had just this, this powerful outpouring of the Holy spirit.

499
00:23:44,360 --> 00:23:46,120
People could not not pray on them.

500
00:23:46,120 --> 00:23:47,680
I pray for awakening.

501
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:48,680
Guess what happened?

502
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:53,120
The healing revivals broke out all throughout America and the Latter Rain movement broke

503
00:23:53,120 --> 00:23:55,080
out at the same time.

504
00:23:55,080 --> 00:24:00,480
Then in 1970, we all heard about what happened there at that time period, what young people

505
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:06,280
kept coming up to repent of their sins, prayer, confession, and the weighty glory presence

506
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:07,280
of God.

507
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:08,280
Again, this is Asbury.

508
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:09,280
What happens at the same time?

509
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:11,000
The Jesus people movement happens.

510
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:14,640
The Charest Merit renewal happens at the same time.

511
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:19,800
Then in 1993, there was a powerful outpouring of the Holy spirit, tangible weighty, holy

512
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:24,880
glory, release at Asbury, and at the same time, literally after that, you have the Toronto

513
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:31,000
blessing, then you also get the Pensacola revival, Steve Heald, and all that happened

514
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:35,480
there, and that powerful revival there, there in Florida, the Brownsville revival.

515
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:37,480
Then 19, no, God, then 2023.

516
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:38,480
Will?

517
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:39,480
Okay.

518
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:42,600
Yeah, a lot of people say, so 2023 and this powerful outpouring.

519
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:44,360
So why am I bringing these things up?

520
00:24:44,360 --> 00:24:48,920
When God pours himself out like this at a place, he's using it as a sign.

521
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:53,360
Then God, it's a sign to let us know that we're going to seek the Lord while he may

522
00:24:53,360 --> 00:24:54,360
be found a moment.

523
00:24:54,360 --> 00:24:58,680
And he's, for whatever reason, used Asbury as this, not a litmus test for what revival

524
00:24:58,680 --> 00:24:59,680
is supposed to look like.

525
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:05,200
Like, look, one revivalist told me, old school man, just been used by God since the 70s.

526
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:08,360
We're part of Jesus people movement and all the other powerful revivals.

527
00:25:08,360 --> 00:25:11,760
Still, he's in a wheelchair to this day, but he's still hungry, still going after God.

528
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:15,360
He told me, Bob Nichols, he said, I love what's happening at Asbury, but I want people

529
00:25:15,360 --> 00:25:17,640
to know that this is that, but that's not it.

530
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:21,120
In other words, this is that, we're in a, this is that moment.

531
00:25:21,120 --> 00:25:25,600
This is that outpouring that was prophesied by Joe, but don't make it the it as the litmus

532
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:28,200
test for what every outpouring is going to look like.

533
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:32,200
It's going to manifest itself different ways, like it did in 1905 on the Zusa street, like

534
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:35,680
it did in 1950 with the healing revival, like it did in all these other places.

535
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:40,080
There's a way that God pours out himself as Asbury that becomes a sign and they everybody

536
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:44,200
know, hey, it's a little bit thinner around here, a little bit, the resistance is breaking.

537
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:46,160
There's an open heaven over here.

538
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:49,280
And so that's, that's, that's what I want you to know, but why Asbury?

539
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:53,520
Well, yes, a lot of it, I believe a lot of it has to do with Francis Asbury.

540
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:58,200
The names say Francis Asbury was this amazing man of God who was, who was a, he was the

541
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:02,600
leader of the circuit riders and he was trained by John Wesley to lead the circuit riders.

542
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:03,600
What did the circuit riders do?

543
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:07,680
They went to all the 13 colonies on horseback preaching the gospel and they preached the

544
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:10,400
gospel, but they also took a strong stand against slavery.

545
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:11,400
Right?

546
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:15,080
So you could not be a circuit rider and own slaves and the circuit riders carried three

547
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:18,640
things in their satchels, a Bible, a hymn and mangy mission forms.

548
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:22,760
The mangy mission forms were so that as they preached the gospel and the slave owner was

549
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:25,320
there, if you got saved, they say, listen, sir, it was for freedom.

550
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:26,600
The Christ set us all free.

551
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:30,600
Therefore go ahead and sign these mangy mission forms and set your slaves free too.

552
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:35,120
We know that's what happened because everywhere the circuit riders went, the free slave population

553
00:26:35,120 --> 00:26:37,120
shone through exponentially.

554
00:26:37,120 --> 00:26:38,120
My God.

555
00:26:38,120 --> 00:26:39,800
And so that's what he carried.

556
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:43,640
I mean, over 25,000 people came to that man's funeral when he passed away.

557
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:48,080
He had such a profound influence even on the framing and the shaping of the nation, the

558
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:52,400
declaration of independence and also with the constitution.

559
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:55,680
He had a major influence on those documents.

560
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:59,680
So much so, many people wanted to put the ending of slavery in those documents because

561
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:01,000
of the preacher Francis Asbury.

562
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:05,320
And some of the founding fathers like George Mason refused to sign those documents because

563
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:10,120
it didn't include the ending of slavery because that's kind of influenced that Francis Asbury

564
00:27:10,120 --> 00:27:11,560
had at that time.

565
00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:15,960
So he traveled horseback with another man who was a black circuit rider.

566
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:17,280
His name was Harry Hoosier.

567
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:20,840
Harry Hoosier, they called him Black Harry because he was so dark.

568
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:23,240
He was, I know, I met a friend growing up.

569
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:25,800
We used to call him 2 AM because he said he was black at midnight.

570
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:26,800
Oh my goodness.

571
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:30,840
So anyway, Black Harry, right?

572
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:34,880
So they called him that, but he was a preacher in France.

573
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:39,880
So Black Harry, at that time period, he was just coming out of slavery, couldn't read

574
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:42,520
or write, but Asbury loved this prayer life.

575
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:44,840
And so he was Asbury's intercessor.

576
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:49,440
So one day, Asbury gets sick and he gets sick and he can't preach.

577
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:51,160
So he asked Harry to take his place.

578
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:52,680
And Harry took his place that day.

579
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:56,520
And then before you knew it, revival broke out under the preaching of Harry Hoosier.

580
00:27:56,520 --> 00:28:00,880
They had protracted meetings where they met for weeks as a result of what God was doing

581
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:02,360
through the preaching of Harry Hoosier.

582
00:28:02,360 --> 00:28:05,000
He approached to white audiences, black audiences.

583
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:09,120
He and Asbury, both they united the body of Christ in that time period.

584
00:28:09,120 --> 00:28:10,880
They preached across color lines.

585
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:15,040
One time somebody was critical of Harry Hoosier preaching because he was a black man.

586
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:20,600
He said, listen, if I was a physician and you were about to die and you were really

587
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:24,520
sick, would it matter the color of my skin if I had the remedy for your ailment?

588
00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:28,040
And in the same way, I have the remedy for your soul right now.

589
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:29,840
It's the gospel of Jesus Christ.

590
00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:35,240
He preached to audiences, black and white, all across the country, care revival and became

591
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:40,560
actually more requested speaker than Francis Asbury, much to Asbury's delight.

592
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:44,160
He had people, of course, he had, he served up a lot of hatred wherever he went to.

593
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:48,960
So the old mainstream denominations got upset because so many people were getting converted

594
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:50,720
in his meetings, especially in Indiana.

595
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:55,040
He's preaching and so many people were coming to hear him preach black and white.

596
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:58,240
The other denominations got jealous and they said, oh, y'all just part of his fan club.

597
00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:00,360
Y'all just a bunch of Hoosiers.

598
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:05,200
So if you ever wonder how Indiana became known as the Hoosier State, it was because

599
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:07,240
of the preaching of Harry.

600
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:08,240
My goodness.

601
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:09,240
Right?

602
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:12,720
Professor Pearson and also David Barnett, they both tell that story.

603
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:16,880
I bring that up because some people, some of them are being a few people that kind of

604
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:21,160
have mocked Asbury, they say, oh, well, you know, it feels real revival.

605
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:22,600
There'll be more ethnic diversity.

606
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:26,200
First of all, there was a lot of ethnic diversity, more you realize because even when it started

607
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:28,200
out, it was doing black history month celebration.

608
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:30,640
There was a black gospel choir that was there that day.

609
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:31,640
Oh my goodness.

610
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:32,640
See?

611
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:36,240
And George from the young African American worship leader named George, he said, you

612
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:38,760
know, maybe we should stick around a little bit longer because I feel like God is doing

613
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:39,760
something.

614
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:42,400
And 18 days later, you know, the rest is history, right?

615
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:45,960
They stayed there in that place and the president got this kept coming in.

616
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:48,200
So it was that thing of the first, but here's the thing.

617
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:49,200
Don't be like us.

618
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:50,200
Don't touch the art.

619
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:54,640
But the other thing is this, if you want to see revival, do what Hoosier did.

620
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:57,960
Pray for Asbury.

621
00:29:57,960 --> 00:29:59,960
What if you pray for Asbury?

622
00:29:59,960 --> 00:30:03,960
What God would raise you up to be a voice for revival and awakening.

623
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:05,460
Be like Hoosier.

624
00:30:05,460 --> 00:30:06,460
Pray for Asbury.

625
00:30:06,460 --> 00:30:09,200
I think, yes, I want to see more ethnic diversity.

626
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:13,920
I want the inner city to be left out of the storyline of revival and this time here.

627
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:14,920
And God is doing something.

628
00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:18,160
You know, you got black voices going to all the HBCUs, you know?

629
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:19,160
Yes, sir.

630
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:21,400
And that amazing group of young people and all these.

631
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:23,880
So listen, let's pray for this thing.

632
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:24,880
Let's fan the flame.

633
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:26,000
Let's not doubt it out.

634
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:29,360
And God is telling, these are the reward of those that diligently seek Him right now.

635
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:30,360
So why Asbury?

636
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:32,320
God pours out his strength like this.

637
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:34,120
Not on a geographic location.

638
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:35,440
He remembers his friends.

639
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:36,720
No greater love than anyone in this thing.

640
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:38,080
He laid down his life for his friend.

641
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:40,000
And we laid down our life for him.

642
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:41,440
God goes after our offspring.

643
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:46,360
So it's David saying when Jonathan dies, who in the house of the soul can I show kindness

644
00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:47,640
to for Jonathan's sake?

645
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:51,480
Jonathan's dead and gone, but David is still under the influence of his friends devotion

646
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:52,480
to him.

647
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:55,280
Then in verse three of 2 Samuel 9, he says, who in the house of the soul can I show the

648
00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:57,200
kindness of God for Jonathan's sake?

649
00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:59,040
So this is what the kindness of God looks like.

650
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:02,040
So they go find some broken busted up kid named the Fibbishep.

651
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:04,520
He knows nothing about the covenant.

652
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:06,240
He's high enough in King David.

653
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:08,080
He's totally mischaracterized King David.

654
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:09,080
I think he's trying to kill him.

655
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:11,680
Hards from 20 years, but he's brought to the King's table.

656
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:12,680
Why?

657
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:15,120
Because David is still under the influence of his daddy's devotion.

658
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:20,360
Listen, God is still under the influence of folks like Harry Hoosier and Francis Asbury.

659
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:23,920
And every time he wants to release an outpouring, every time he wants to reach something that's

660
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:28,040
going to touch everybody in this nation, he'll say, Oh, Asbury, look, I want to do something

661
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:31,800
that's a little place that a little school that started that has your name, where you

662
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:36,120
lifted up the name of my son, where you preached holiness, power, the power of God, and revival.

663
00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:39,400
I'm going to do something there to let everybody know that I'm coming after your offspring.

664
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:40,400
He's coming after all of them.

665
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:41,880
I'm a Fibbishep right now.

666
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:43,560
What if we lay down our lives today?

667
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:47,120
What would happen 20 years, 30 years, 200 years later to the Lord Terry?

668
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:48,720
God wants to go after our offspring.

669
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:50,200
Everybody talks about generational curses.

670
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:51,200
They're real.

671
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:52,200
They're powerful.

672
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:53,200
They go to three and four generations, sometimes 10.

673
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:56,240
But listen, generational blessings, y'all go to a thousand generations.

674
00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:57,760
That means basically forever.

675
00:31:57,760 --> 00:31:59,920
It's also to the memorial stones.

676
00:31:59,920 --> 00:32:00,920
Remember Joshua 4?

677
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:01,920
They built the memorials.

678
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:02,920
Oh, yes.

679
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:03,920
They lifted those things up.

680
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:06,640
When God saw those 12 stones, he didn't see a pile of rocks, y'all.

681
00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:08,920
He saw the 12 great, great grandsons of his covenant.

682
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:11,360
There in Abraham, who left everything to follow him.

683
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:16,680
But then in 1 Kings 1831, Elijah has his showdown with the prophets of Baal.

684
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:19,000
And the nation is often to Baal worship.

685
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:23,240
They worship in Baal so they can get rain for their crops and they're bringing the secretism

686
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:26,280
and this mixture and this compromise in kind of like we're doing today.

687
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:29,000
How you going to burn sage and pray to Jesus at the same time?

688
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:31,080
Y'all say that, bro.

689
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:32,080
This ain't that season.

690
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:34,680
So anyway, so they're bringing in this mixture.

691
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:37,680
Elijah prays, shuts up to heaven, it's three and a half years, it shuts down.

692
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:41,680
The prophets of Baal come out and they're cutting themselves and doing all the gyrages.

693
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:45,960
And then it says that Elijah rebuilt the altar of prayer in the nation.

694
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:46,960
How do you do it?

695
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:50,160
1 Kings 1831, he took 12 stones.

696
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:55,080
He took the 12 memorial stones from Joshua's time period because those stones would be

697
00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:56,960
a memorial to the whole nation.

698
00:32:56,960 --> 00:33:01,120
So he puts those stones together to remind them of their covenant with God and the remit

699
00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:03,400
of God of his covenant with his friend Abraham.

700
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:07,840
He said, oh God, on these old stones, on these old memories, release a new fire for the next

701
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:08,840
generation.

702
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:13,320
And then the fire falls and of all the people say, the Lord he is God, the Lord he is God,

703
00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:14,560
the Lord he is God.

704
00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:19,560
And they stopped limping back and forth between two opinions about how many genders they are.

705
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:22,880
They stopped limping back and forth between two opinions about biblical marriage.

706
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:26,120
They stopped limping back and forth about, you know what I'm saying, man.

707
00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:30,920
Oh man, Will, bro, you are dropping just revelation from it.

708
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:33,160
It's raining on, keep it under the pockets.

709
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:34,160
It's raining, y'all.

710
00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:35,160
Keep it raining, Will.

711
00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:36,160
Let me throw this in.

712
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:39,040
In this next movement, I think you begin to address it.

713
00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:43,520
What part do you think the fear of God reverence will play in this next move?

714
00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:47,360
You and I were talking and you were telling me about this message you had on the smoke.

715
00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:50,200
How important is reverence and the fear of God in this next move, Will?

716
00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:53,520
I think it has everything to do with the fear of the Lord.

717
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:57,560
So I was the way, I got caught up to speed on that, honestly.

718
00:33:57,560 --> 00:33:59,720
It's 33rd day of an extended fast.

719
00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:04,360
I was all with my church and I was going to a prayer meeting and this is not a dream.

720
00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:06,480
I started coughing because I smelled smoke.

721
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:07,680
I mean, I was literally coughing.

722
00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:10,000
I had smoke going into my lungs, burned my chest.

723
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:13,040
You ever just have smoke from a chimney or whatever going to your chest and burn?

724
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:17,000
You're like, man, I was a little upset because the fire department came to our house a couple

725
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:23,160
of months ago because the boys accidentally set off the fire alarm, the stink in the shower,

726
00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:24,160
set it up.

727
00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:25,960
You get fine that they show back up again.

728
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:29,880
So I was a little angry and I was like, hey, why end of the half minutes?

729
00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:33,960
My wife was like, hey, if you're going to do a fire, open up their flutes so that smoke

730
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:35,960
goes up in the chimney, smoke coming in here now.

731
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:37,600
I don't want to set off the fire alarm again.

732
00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:41,640
And she said, well, there's no firewood in the house and there's no fire in the fireplace.

733
00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:46,560
I said, well, you must be on the phone again and you've forgotten you left something on

734
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:47,560
the stove.

735
00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:48,560
You about to burn the house down, woman.

736
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:55,120
And she's like, okay, you're fasting and there's nothing on the stove and your attitude

737
00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:57,000
sucks.

738
00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:58,000
You need to repent.

739
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:00,840
I'm like, but I'm coughing smoking though.

740
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:02,640
And so I checked the iron.

741
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:03,640
The iron wasn't on.

742
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:04,640
It was cold.

743
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:10,640
So I get in the car and I start coughing again, Sean, because I was choking from smoke.

744
00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:13,400
And I called my wife and said, hey, is something wrong with the car or something?

745
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:14,400
Because I smell it smoking.

746
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:16,360
She said, Mr. Ford, what if you're on fire?

747
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:20,320
And as soon as she said that, I heard the Lord say this to, I'm looking for a living

748
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:26,000
sacrifice, looking for, and I realized, Sean, I've been studying about David trying to bring

749
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:31,680
back the Ark of the Covenant and all the sacrifices that he made and all the sacrifices that Solomon

750
00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:35,640
made when he dedicated the temple, you know, 22,000 oxen.

751
00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:37,920
He slaughtered 120 sheep and goat.

752
00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:40,080
He slaughtered to dedicate their temple.

753
00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:43,520
And so I'd never considered all the smoke that was in the priesthood.

754
00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:46,960
So I'm like, man, what is it? So I called you to get a better understanding of this

755
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:47,960
smoke thing.

756
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:52,040
Right. And you said, well, will the first time God revealed himself to the nation of Israel

757
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:56,720
as they were coming out of Egypt, one God said in there, I want to have a nation of

758
00:35:56,720 --> 00:35:57,720
priests.

759
00:35:57,720 --> 00:36:01,920
They have them, have them, uh, uh, uh, consecrate themselves for three days, have them washed

760
00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:04,360
in clothes, no marital relations for three days.

761
00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:06,440
So they fast all that stuff, three days.

762
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:09,080
Then they show up about two or three million people.

763
00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:13,760
They show up and they see Mount Sinai, the mountain is shaking and quaking.

764
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:15,840
They see the lightning and the thunder.

765
00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:20,600
They heard the trumpet blast and then the Bible says, but then they saw all the smoke.

766
00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:25,000
They saw all the, and when they saw all the smoke, the people said, Moses, we don't want

767
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:26,000
that.

768
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:29,720
We're good. You know, you represent us and that'll be, that'll be it for us.

769
00:36:29,720 --> 00:36:34,080
And from that moment on, and you told me this from that moment on, God's people will never

770
00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:38,320
refer to as a nation of priests again, until the New Testament, first, be the two and I.

771
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:39,320
That's right.

772
00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:42,400
In other words, they forfeited the reward of their consecration.

773
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:46,240
The reward of their consecration was not better communication in their marriage.

774
00:36:46,240 --> 00:36:49,880
The reward of the consecration wasn't clothes they couldn't wear three months ago.

775
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:53,040
The reward of their consecration was not a nice, clean new suit.

776
00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:57,520
The reward of their consecration was all the smoke and greater intimacy with the Lord,

777
00:36:57,520 --> 00:37:00,560
but they were afraid of the Lord, but they didn't have the fear of the Lord.

778
00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:03,320
When you're afraid of the Lord, you don't want to be transparent.

779
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:04,680
You don't want to be vulnerable.

780
00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:05,960
You don't want to confess.

781
00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:10,080
You just want to put your consecration on and hope it can hide you with some kind of religious

782
00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:14,400
facade and you think God won't see all this junk that's going on in your life.

783
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:18,160
No, but to have the fear of the Lord, the fear of the Lord says this, Oh God, I'm in

784
00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:23,120
all of you and I love you and I'm afraid to live my life without investor difference.

785
00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:27,120
And so from that moment on, Moses knew God's, you know, the children of Israel knew God's

786
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:28,920
acts, but Moses knew God's ways.

787
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:32,240
In other words, the children of Israel knew God through answered prayer, but Moses knew

788
00:37:32,240 --> 00:37:36,960
God through what he knew what to pray and why because he had Tennessee and that's what

789
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:37,960
the fear of the Lord is.

790
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:40,160
God is bringing back the fear of the Lord.

791
00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:41,880
He's bringing back all.

792
00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:42,880
He's going to bring back.

793
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:46,800
See the deal is this, the one that they feared the most is the one who loved them the most

794
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:50,280
and he loved them so much he'd rather died and spend eternity without him.

795
00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:51,480
That's what Jesus did on the cross.

796
00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:52,480
That's where he was demonstrate.

797
00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:54,640
And so that's what the fear of the Lord would make you do.

798
00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:58,120
He's like, Oh, I'm so in all of you, but I have to have more in my life.

799
00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:00,000
I'm afraid to live my life without you.

800
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:02,280
I don't want to be left in my own decision making.

801
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:04,040
I don't want to be left to be on devices.

802
00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:05,760
I want you in my life.

803
00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:09,960
You know, so Moses exodus 33, God says, Moses, I'm done.

804
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:10,960
You know what?

805
00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:11,960
I'll send my angel before you.

806
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:12,960
You'll get the price land.

807
00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:15,400
Y'all can have it all, but I'm not going with you.

808
00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:18,520
And Moses says, Oh no, I'm afraid to live my life now.

809
00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:19,520
Angels are nice.

810
00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:20,520
I like those guys.

811
00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:21,520
They're great.

812
00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:25,160
But listen, unless your presence didn't go with us, do not take me up in this place.

813
00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:26,920
I want your presence more than anything.

814
00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:28,560
I don't want success without God.

815
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:32,160
There's no such thing as success without God.

816
00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:35,480
Moses was about to get the crowd without the cloud.

817
00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:37,800
And so many people were settling for that right now.

818
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:40,520
We got anointing on our life and other few other things.

819
00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:41,520
Anointing is great.

820
00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:42,920
It's not going from a hand saw to a buzz saw.

821
00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:43,920
That's great.

822
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:45,960
But it's still, it's this false finish line.

823
00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:47,480
The thing we want is his presence.

824
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:49,320
What do we have by the cloud?

825
00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:53,400
So many people want the crowd without the cloud and they are sweating it out in their

826
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:54,400
ministry.

827
00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:55,400
They have so much anxiety.

828
00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:56,400
They have so much stress.

829
00:38:56,400 --> 00:39:00,320
They worry about the things of people every five minutes on Twitter and Facebook.

830
00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:01,320
What are they saying?

831
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:02,320
What are they like?

832
00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:03,320
What are the felt needs?

833
00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:05,320
What are the stages of life of people right now?

834
00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:07,400
If you get the presence, you don't have to worry about that.

835
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:08,400
Come on, Will.

836
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:09,400
We minister to him.

837
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:10,400
We minister to him.

838
00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:11,400
We please God.

839
00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:12,400
We're going to serve people.

840
00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:13,400
When we start pleasing people sooner or later we'll stop serving God.

841
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:14,400
That is a word, Will.

842
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:15,400
Oh my goodness.

843
00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:16,400
So that's where we are right now.

844
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:17,400
It's about the fear of the Lord.

845
00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:18,400
Will, man, oh my goodness.

846
00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:20,400
Bro, we're going to have you on for part three.

847
00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:22,400
I just realized, man, you're a only repeat guest.

848
00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:23,400
We just go out and get you.

849
00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:26,400
I just realized, man, you're a only repeat guest.

850
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:29,400
We just go out and get you for part three as well.

851
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:35,400
Bro, you have done such a great job in understanding the times we live in, understanding the word,

852
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:36,400
being prophetic.

853
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:38,400
I love you, Will, for so many reasons.

854
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:43,000
One of them, obviously, you're probably the most authentic follower of Christ I know, but

855
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:45,400
you marry the word and the spirit.

856
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:48,400
It's that my mentees always say, you need a two-winged dove.

857
00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:52,400
If you've got one-winged dove, it does awesome somersaults when it goes off the cliff.

858
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:57,400
But if you're going to soar, you need two wings, and you bring word and spirit.

859
00:39:57,400 --> 00:40:00,400
So, Will, man, Will, oh, we just have to bring you back.

860
00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:01,400
Hey, talk to us, Will.

861
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:04,400
How can people listening stay in contact with you?

862
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:06,400
What are some of the projects?

863
00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:10,400
Just give our listeners, I know they're going to tap into what you and your wife are releasing.

864
00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:14,400
So talk to us about anything you act on my up and how we can stay in contact.

865
00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:17,400
Well, one, I want you all to pray for me and my friend, Matt Lachlan.

866
00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:21,400
I'm in the mail this crazy storyline, y'all, where I have an old relic from my family.

867
00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:25,400
That the slaves of my family used it to muffler their voices when they prayed.

868
00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:28,400
And my friend Lou Engle asked me to share that gathering,

869
00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:33,400
but share that relic and the gathering with people at the Lincoln Memorial MLK Celebration Day.

870
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:36,400
But there was a white guy who was led to that gathering because he had a dream.

871
00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:38,400
He had a dream about the man over there at the event.

872
00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:40,400
He didn't know he existed and found out there was this real guy named Lou Engle.

873
00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:42,400
And so he and I became friends.

874
00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:43,400
We've been friends for 18 years.

875
00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:45,400
Well, fast forward, that white friend of mine, Matt Lachlan,

876
00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:48,400
found out that the Civil War ended in his family's front yard.

877
00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:50,400
So we thought, man, what a cool coincidence.

878
00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:53,400
I got this kettle pot with slaves prayed for freedom.

879
00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:56,400
Yeah, this house where generally father's last battle, we thought, wow, what a cool coincidence.

880
00:40:56,400 --> 00:41:00,400
But y'all, we stumbled on more research and realized it was my friend Matt Lachlan's family

881
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:03,400
who owned my family where the kettle pot came from.

882
00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:07,400
And we met at the Lincoln Memorial, both led by dreams to the place where Dr. King said,

883
00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:08,400
is I have a dream speech.

884
00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:13,400
I have a dream that one day the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners

885
00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:16,400
will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.

886
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:20,400
So we wrote a book about it called The Dream King and it's being turned into a movie project.

887
00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:26,400
It'll work with Michael Lannan, Jill, Brian Bird, and now Sammy Rodriguez is signed on to be one of the executive producers

888
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:27,400
to help us with this.

889
00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:29,400
He's your friend, Sammy Rodriguez.

890
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:30,400
He was spoke at the conference.

891
00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:31,400
Oh my goodness.

892
00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:34,400
Yeah, so he just signed on to help us in this project.

893
00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:37,400
And y'all, if y'all could just pray for this documentary.

894
00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:40,400
If y'all could do that, that would greatly appreciate that.

895
00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:44,400
And so that's one of my biggest things right now.

896
00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:47,400
If y'all could pray for that, I would greatly appreciate it.

897
00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:49,400
You want to keep up with what we're doing.

898
00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:52,400
I'm on Instagram, W. Will Ford.

899
00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:56,400
I'm on 818-SIME, my wife, Nars' Ministry.

900
00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:58,400
818-SIME.org.

901
00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:03,400
If you want to keep up with some of the boot camps and some of the other strategic things we're doing

902
00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:07,400
to unite the body of Christ to pursue God through prayer, fasting, and doing these gatherings that we love to do.

903
00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:11,400
And Sean's been some of the amazing speakers that we've had and a few others.

904
00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:14,400
We're looking to do another gathering soon, so go there to see.

905
00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:17,400
Just to stay abreast of what we're doing right now.

906
00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:19,400
But I'm just excited y'all.

907
00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:21,400
God is blowing my mind right now.

908
00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:25,400
But I can't believe that that's the one memory that Sean became of my mind when you said,

909
00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:31,400
you know, when was the time that you remembered that God, you know, was so real and raw to you.

910
00:42:31,400 --> 00:42:32,400
The supernatural was so real and raw.

911
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:36,400
And it was in that moment of doubt, unbelief, and skepticism.

912
00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:44,400
And if I had not had God interrupt my life right then and there, who knows what kind of was just so bound up by religion and religious spirit.

913
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:49,400
How would it have been but God and his love and his deep profound mercy.

914
00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:53,400
Yeah, just invaded all of that and I haven't been the same since.

915
00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:57,400
And so, you know, I just feel even for somebody on here, you know, you've been kind of skeptical.

916
00:42:57,400 --> 00:42:58,400
You've been kind of cynical.

917
00:42:58,400 --> 00:42:59,400
Hey, I get it.

918
00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:00,400
I understand.

919
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:02,400
I know it's like that church hurt be burnt.

920
00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:04,400
But let me tell you, God loves you.

921
00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:08,400
And the one you should fear the most is the one who loves you the most.

922
00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:12,400
And he loves you so much he'd rather die the speedy turn it without you.

923
00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:16,400
Literally, that's what he did when he stressed his arms out on that cross and he died.

924
00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:20,400
But then he rose again in victory and he wants to give you great right now.

925
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:22,400
You don't have to have that all figured out.

926
00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:26,400
That's a faith walk, but there's so much he wants you to learn about him.

927
00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:27,400
Take up his yoke.

928
00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:28,400
Take up his yoke.

929
00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:29,400
His yoke is easy.

930
00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:32,400
His burden is light and he wants you to learn of him.

931
00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:34,400
He will teach you if you let him disciple you.

932
00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:36,400
I just want to share that with somebody.

933
00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:37,400
You're struggling with that.

934
00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:39,400
Just the yoke of religion that weighs you down.

935
00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:40,400
I know, I know.

936
00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:41,400
Been there, but God.

937
00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:42,400
Come on.

938
00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:45,400
Will, man, this is so rich.

939
00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:46,400
You're your wife.

940
00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:48,400
You guys are a true power couple.

941
00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:51,400
Christa was on a Johnny's table talk.

942
00:43:51,400 --> 00:43:57,400
Your wife is so good to see her just breaking out in the area of media and just all the

943
00:43:57,400 --> 00:43:59,400
things that she's doing, all the things you guys are doing.

944
00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:00,400
Man, we love you.

945
00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:01,400
We can't wait till the next time we hang out.

946
00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:02,400
We hang out with you, man.

947
00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:06,400
I'll get on the phone and tell you some other stuff that's coming up, but hey, we love you.

948
00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:08,400
We're going to be praying for you.

949
00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:12,400
You guys pray for this movie, drinking or whatever the title they're going to give it.

950
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:14,400
And well, thanks so much for stopping by.

951
00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:15,400
We love you, bro.

952
00:44:15,400 --> 00:44:16,400
Love you, bro.

953
00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:17,400
Thank you so much, big bro.

954
00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:18,400
Love you, dear.

955
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:19,400
All right, man.

956
00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:20,400
Bless you.

957
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:21,400
Oh my God.

958
00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:22,400
I mean, Will always brings it.

959
00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:23,400
That was so, so good, so deep.

960
00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:26,240
And what I love, it's always fresh with Will.

961
00:44:26,240 --> 00:44:30,120
Like he has spent time with the Lord and there's always just such for a fresh revelation.

962
00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:33,920
And I know our people want to try, but so blessed by that conversation.

963
00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:36,040
And I know that's going to minister to so many people.

964
00:44:36,040 --> 00:44:40,960
I love that because, you know, when people use this phrase, it's, you know, don't, don't

965
00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:41,960
get religious on me.

966
00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:44,920
If you hear this phrase here in my heart in this, but they use the phrase, the stars

967
00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:45,920
are beginning to align.

968
00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:49,680
And, and obviously it sounds like it's a, maybe an astrology thing.

969
00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:50,680
I don't know.

970
00:44:50,680 --> 00:44:55,280
But it's just this thing that I would Christian viewpoint, look at this and say there are

971
00:44:55,280 --> 00:44:59,640
signs that are beginning to take place that God is moving and God is stirring.

972
00:44:59,640 --> 00:45:01,520
And this is what will brought out.

973
00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:07,120
And it's like God is causing the, the stars he created to align and they're speaking to

974
00:45:07,120 --> 00:45:08,120
us.

975
00:45:08,120 --> 00:45:13,200
They're calling us out very much like the, the star shown over the birth of Jesus and

976
00:45:13,200 --> 00:45:14,200
the babe of Bethlehem.

977
00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:19,080
I feel like there are stars that are pointing that there is a new birthing of a new Jesus

978
00:45:19,080 --> 00:45:21,000
revolution and new Jesus movement.

979
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:22,720
And you definitely want to be a part of it.

980
00:45:22,720 --> 00:45:26,640
And I see if there's any takeaway is that now is the time to swing for the fences.

981
00:45:26,640 --> 00:45:28,680
Now is the time to go all out for God.

982
00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:35,400
