Three Colliding Moments
00:03:44
|
|
| Tell me about what God, how God talked to you and how he said to you, we're going to see a billion souls saved in this period of time. | |
| And you know what? | |
| The minute you said it, I just knew it was God. | |
| Tell me about it. | |
| Amen. | |
| Absolutely. | |
| There are about three things that have collided in my life. | |
| Something that God has done in me personally. | |
| Also, an understanding in the Revelation and what happened that night when I was talking, when I was coughing for two hours in a locked room in one of these neutral climate rooms that literally, it's almost like you're in a wind tunnel because everything is being sucked out and into a filter to destroy. | |
| Oh, yeah. | |
| When I was coughing for two hours and then all of a sudden, it was so crazy because it wasn't like an audible voice. | |
| It wasn't one of those moments where, and when the thought popped into my head, I will be very transparent with you. | |
| In my head, I heard one billion souls in the next 18 months. | |
| And I went, yeah. | |
| And I said out loud. | |
| Wow. | |
| That's stupid. | |
| That's crazy. | |
| You know, you and I, as well as you, you are an extraordinary thinker. | |
| I could sit here and you could name people. | |
| There's nobody I know alive. | |
| So for a person that sees tens of thousands of people come to Christ in a year, there's no way I could even begin to think that this is about me. | |
| I think this is about the entire body of Christ around the world. | |
| I'm believing right now in my spirit that over 10 million people in the United States have received Christ since this has happened in the last four or five weeks. | |
| I think there are people everywhere that are realizing their lives are not right with God. | |
| And when God began to speak to me about this, the second part of it is what I've gone through myself and something that probably you know because you and I were raised in an assembly of God church and all that God did when we were young. | |
| I'm a junkie for the presence of God. | |
| I believe the presence of God and the Holy Spirit can accomplish anything and can change churches, cities, nations. | |
| But for a long time growing up, I've always wanted, and Jim, you'll probably remember this song, to be like Jesus. | |
| All I ask is to be like him. | |
| Yeah. | |
| About a few months ago, maybe a year ago, one day I got home, I got stuck in traffic and I was upset. | |
| People who know me, I'm not known for patience. | |
| I don't try and show it, but I was mad. | |
| I mean, an hour stuck in traffic get messed up my day and my whole attitude was wrong. | |
| And that night when I got down to pray, I said, Jesus, once again, I failed in being like you. | |
| And I want everyone who's listening to hear what I say. | |
| In that moment, I heard a voice that said, when did I ask you to be me? | |
| Being me is about you. | |
| That's not about me. | |
| I'm not asking you to be me. | |
| I've asked you to belong to me. | |
| When I heard that in my spirit, he said, the issue every person has to settle, good days, bad days, right days, wrong days, up days, down days. | |

Lamb of God Romance
00:04:15
|
|
| Do you belong to me? | |
| If you belong to me, if you're surrendered to me, I will see it and know that you're like me. | |
| And the issue in my life over the last several months is every day in worship and praise, especially what I've been learning from the Revelation, is the reality of I belong to the Lamb of God. | |
| And when you look at the Revelation, for those of you listening, this to me is very important. | |
| The book of Revelation is about a war, but the book of Revelation is a book about romance. | |
| And if you don't understand that romance, you will not only miss the point, you will not understand the point of the war or what is going on in the end times. | |
| You have a glorious groom, Jesus Christ, in chapter one. | |
| And in chapter two and chapter three, you have an immature bride. | |
| And chapter four is the war for the maturity of the bride. | |
| And when you get to chapter 19, once again, we see the bride, and she's no longer what she was in Revelations 2 and 3. | |
| She's now gorgeous. | |
| She now has the testimony, the prophetic. | |
| She has grown to a dimension where she can minister to the world. | |
| And throughout the Revelation, you see the working of the Holy Spirit to draw the bride to the church, the bride to the groom, the glorious groom. | |
| And when you study chapter one, the power of chapter one is most people tie it to the war and to the fear. | |
| And what you begin to realize is straightforwardly, chapter one is the revelation to the bride of the love. | |
| When it says he has fire in his eyes, that's not to fear, that's passion for his bride. | |
| And then you move to chapter two. | |
| The first church has left its first love, and the last church is neither hot nor cold. | |
| That when the bride shows up, Jesus isn't at the center of his church, outside knocking at the door, trying to find someone to invite him back to where he belongs. | |
| The alpha and omega, the beginning and the end. | |
| And all that's happening right now is to return our eyes to the power of what you just said, Jim. | |
| I not only want to affirm what you said, because all of us are under attack. | |
| There are very few ministries, churches that can survive six, eight weeks with no giving, no offerings. | |
| That's almost incomprehensible to all of us. | |
| But the second part of that is in the Revelation, you see constantly the Lamb. | |
| How does God want to be known eternally? | |
| He wants to be known eternally as the Lamb. | |
| In the Revelation, I would put him as the conqueror on the throne. | |
| I would put him as the lion of the tribe of Judah, but he is the Lamb who was slain from the foundations of the world. | |
| His blood was prepared for us. | |
| We weren't prepared for coronavirus, but our salvation was prepared for before all of creation took place. | |
| And the Holy Spirit since creation has been drawing us to the blood. | |
| When you understand those who are worshiping in heaven are worshiping the Lamb, why? | |
| The one who prepared our salvation, the one who loves us, the one who died for us, the one who gave his life for us. | |
| All that we're going through right now is to draw our attention for the church to mature and to seek after him and put him back at the center of his church and then to tell the world he has forgiven us. | |
| And it's all about the church belongs to him. | |
| His bride belongs to him. | |
| Whether the world knows it or not, they belong to him. | |
| All of creation belongs to him. | |
| Forgive me, I'm just, I'm overwhelmed right now. | |
| I'm filled. | |
