i've been praying last night i got probably two hours sleep i couldn't i couldn't sleep as a god you gotta give me a word what's the word and don't really give me a word i'm not all week but i'm going to be talkin on and i say god what's happening a go to my high office lord what's going on you know he said share your heart except put something in your heart and if you just share your heart it'll be what i have to say so i don't know where we're gone i don't know how long we're going and our ending i don't like this so i like to be in control like to be in  charge guess what that's a problem that's a problem how can god be in charge you'd be in charge the same time yeah go to x the book of acts chapter new testament new testament what does this say this is peter speaking when is peter speaking is the day of pentecost tongues of fire come upon the people are baptized in the holy spirit they're speaking in tongues they're sharing the americas of god they're talking about the praising jesus that people are amazed that people think maybe they're drunk because of how they're acting here maybe people think they're drunk because of how they're acting so were they acting this way when they were baptized the holy spirit were they doing this is that what they were doing no they were testifying of god they were proclaiming jesus they were being bold and the people they dropped by because what would you think of all of a sudden you hear a hundred different languages being spoken what do you think of there if there was some laughter there was some joy so peter speaks and he says first fourteen but peter stand up with the eleven lift up his voice is that of them the men of today in all of that dwell in jerusalem be this known and to you in oregon to my words for these are not drunk as you suppose seeing but it is the third hour of the day throughout the day is nine am there don't get drunk and i am not america people get drunk all the time then they were getting drunk at nine a and he says very by the way isn't it interesting that this soon they're drunk they're talking about god and they assume they're drawn they're talking in a language that they knew or didn't know and you think they would have said wow what is god doing but guess what when god's word works and lives in churches many people are looking at the signs and wonders and complain about them as they're saying well what is god doing they're more busy determines the passing jol was for the people in the book of backs and it was all done away with it don't apply any more it was good the book of backs it was good in zero right around jesus death but you know what all that was done away with if all that was done away with and yet it says in the last days and those certainly weren't the last days were they eight was not the last days yet it happened what do we know has to happen has to happen again i would argue it has been happening so i have a question for you are you willing to put aside everything you've been taught and just go to the word are you going to put aside everything you've been tot and say  work and move this church and many churches have in their doctoral statements that the gifts of the speared have been done away with that everything happen in the book of acts is going to happen again no good news the pastor before me took care of it i made sure to take care of it isn't our bylaws anymore isn't our bylaws to say it means the glory of god as being god is no longer there when you say the gifts of the spirit no longer exist that there isn't the move of the spirit anymore there isn't the power of god work anymore you're saying the glory of god has disappeared and if your statement guess what will happen that's your doctrine doctrine statement that anything time the spirit moves you call it of the devil and the spirit moves you say it's not of god because it can't be because those things don't happen anymore notice to take place seeking this word and go into this word is saying god what is your word say what are the principles we can find in the word because many call things revival and some of them are just the devil having a hey day there's many things that people call revival that's a manmade form say it's wrong so many give you an example i know in this church and i know a baptist church is many baptist churches i know i was a seventh day adventists for a while i know in seventh day adventist happens you have revival meetings you know what that is you bring a some people are saved because of that nothing wrong with that's not revival wise and not revival because it was a manmade program a man showed up he took up formally as a form the follows he has a program he follows and he does it nothing wrong with that but you know what happens to those revivals when a man leaves what happens no more witnessing nombre are invited to last and we go to the same ole same ole and we have other kinds of revivals you know those revivals ours when there's maybe they're speaking in tongues people are being slain in the spirit you know all kinds of miracles are happening is they're in the wrong and that's in the end it if god's in it nothing is wrong in that but you know if people start chasing the signs the wonders they start chasing the feeling and then you know what it becomes a formula becomes a method again and what we do is we have five nights and we're going to have five nights a revival we're going to do it for two three years and by golly we're going to do it every got to do to make it happen if we have to sing faster and louder if we have to run around the building if we have to have holy laughter so what we do is we bring the holy laughter will just laugh without me making you laugh there's nothing holy about that and so you have the other side if we want to peer revival the first thing is it's got to be that god does something in here that we seek him not revival i want to be teaching wins days sunday mornings on revival i'm going to say as a church we need  a but guess what we really need to seek god if we seek god god can take care of revival if we seek revival the devil might take care of it the are you again are you out are you in all the way are you out all the way are you in the middle where i mean by in or out in means you're ready for a journey that you the pastor here but are you in are you in to seek god and what i mean by seek god that you're going to put that t v in the closet maybe because it gets in the way of you seeking god that some of you have to throw your phone away if you're going to seek god to seek god means that much more important than anything else is i want to relationship with jesus that's an intimate close relationship with christ that changes me that makes me different than who i am if you're out it means you know what i'm good anybody ever hear that saying i'm good if you're good the free nature of freedom in america so it's ok we have liberty and all that stuff and then there's going to be the group that's a maybe group you know what the maybe group is the maybe grid group is i don't know what in means passing it in is in means i'm not in and that's the pastor tells me and gives me a definition that in is i'm not in guess what that group to bother trying to get in because if you try to get it all figured out you're never going to get it all figured out on has to be a say i just know this if i see god good things happen if i don't i don't know what happens so are you in are you out i'll give you hint about n it's going to cost you everything is going to cost you everything if you want to see god with all your heart your soul your mind your spirit if you're going to want to see the movie god happen if you're going to want to see viable it's going to cost is going to cost and we're going to study that we're going to look we're explore what the cost are but i can't tell you what the costs are for you i don't know what the cost is going to be for you i just know there's going to be a cost so we look at this passage says last days children will prophesied his spirit on you and you can speak the words of god children you may be really be viable starts not through us three you children may not even know what that means but have children you will say i want more of jesus you're going to get more of jesus and he's going to explain all that to you is says sheldon will prophesied  young men will see the asians we've got a young man here too many young men oh maybe we need revival why is it that in this church is no young man when i know there are some young men in our community where are they or says old men will dream dreams good news for us all men we can still dream the problem is this all men dreams a lot by this not the kind of dreams i like what that's talking about is that the spirit of god is going to work and move in such a way that god is speaking to his people in a supernatural way and if you look at the cont i i don't know what the next journey is for this church i know this for me it has to be different or i'm not here i'm not here but he wonders when we're leavin vote against the things of god i'm gon a think that's the case but i don't know i just know this yeah yeah yeah at the end of the day guess what guess what yeah at the way if it will go my way i'm gone because guess what that's the same for every single one of you if the church doesn't go the way you want to do it be a place we'll say what i'm gone if not there's something wrong with you because why would you be part of a church you don't agree with will you be a part of a church that everything about it is not what you feel the church should be why would you stay reason one reason you'd stay is because you feel like you could be influence to bring change soon as god starts working listen to me soon as god starts working to moving you know what happens and that there could be people that god speaks to to prophesies and we need to be open for them to prophesied in the middle warship of god calls some of the prophesied we as a church need to be open to the fact that god is going to speak to somebody and they're going  to prophesies speak the words of god and we need to be open to it they're going to time somebody has a vision and god can tell them to share that vision to the congregation because some of as a dream and that dream says this is what we should do as a church to reach out to our community we need to be open to those things but we do all the way that happens is what we need to make sure is the spirit of god working in moving in the flesh working in moving and guess what in this church i am all for god to work and move in a lot of mistakes going to be made to jeremy the guy who likes everything right a lot of mistakes are going to be made but one day we're not going to do is we're not going to let that people can just stand up that has no credibility whatsoever that doesn't want to submit to leadership that has or all ideas of what they should go they're not going to get the freedom to speak do you understand that and who gets to decide that the leadership of this you're praying for revival you pray for god to speak to her if you pray for young men to come into this church you pray for all annoying to men of love god with all their heart to come into this church you pray that god brings other leaders so here's a reality to allow a law of freedom in the midst of it but what i will not have that we had in this church before i did it differently before when will not have if you're not submitted to leadership you lose the right to speak in a public setting is that unfair is that on just isn't on reasonable because if we don't do that guess what happens flakin wackiness and other things happen after this service guess what you can do after the service come to me and ask me what i'm saying yes to me so guess what yes i get to control what goes on here led by the spirit because if i don't do and go in the other room if you want to be and you going to come to that room if you don't know don't go in the room did you hear me if you don't know if you want to be in and out don't go into this old sa because if you don't know if you want to be in and out is not the right time if you don't care certainly don't go with the old saying sherri but if you say i'm in a pastor when you say that i don't know what that means they didn't know they knew they're supposed to go to where the into the what the promised land but somewhere in in and what do they do they grumbled they playing complain they attack the leadership others just followers they just follow where people are going but there are those in iran of them us who joshua and caleb what do they say we're going well yeah but there's going to be a battle there's going to be war there's going to there's enemies in the land there's giants the land said we don't care we're going in we don't know we don't have it all figured out but we're going in we're going all the way and i don't know is who wants to go in all the way in go at that journey and i will promise you this it will be uncomfortable it won't be fun at times you're going to feel discouraged the enemy is going to come after you and all this we as a church as a congregation need to do something different what we've done since i've been here f years has not work now when i say that doesn't mean anything bad because guess what we have a youth group we have people who are on drugs that are no longer in drugs we turn to people who are closer to help people who have told me that i've been the church for years have t me i've learned more from you than the other pastor so obviously god's work to moved but it has to go another level just has to go another level especially if pastor rich is levy why who wants to take a church if there's no move of the spirit who was to take a church a people don't want to get n and receive a god has so before we do that i'm going to close in prayer and then the service is going to be closed and before i do that before we do that is there anybody here that says you know what i need to get right with god right now no music playing nothing but you know you're not right with god is there anybody that want to there's another guess what there's one more hand things are right in my life things are right in my life so i saw one other hand they came up so they are god those who raise their hands that things are right in their life there's of the things that you need to work out in their life i pray father god that you are holy spirit will work in their arts in such a way that brings the victory where there needs to be victory the lord god where they need to be encouraged that you would encourage them are where they need to let go of maybe something in their life they'll be able to let it go their be able to get free from it lord the lord god as they raise their hands or say there's something not right in my life that father god you'd work out what needs to be worked out and the father god that we would be led by your spirit that we'd be filled by your spirit that lord that we could be examples to others as we are humble enough to say you know a lot things are right in my life that people find out a safe to say that in a church because it doesn't matter of people thinks it matters what our god thinks and he loves people who come festers then he loves people who seek him instead of the prove of man and when you speak to your people or those who who want to jump in all the way all the way not not part of the way that they they would they come join us and father god i would pray that for some they need to be they need to sit in the pews for a little bit and really think about it and i really am i really willing to jump in all the way and i really at that place that i'm going to trust jesus completely without knowing what i'm agreeing to i'm just going to trust jesus that he's leading and guiding when you speak to your people's hearts  loving one seattle open door to once you know that regardless of where you've been what you've done there
