Judgment on the House
00:05:53

|
| Let's go into that right now, the Ezekiel 44. | |
| Yeah, in Ezekiel 44, it's a very interesting passage of scripture, just because Ezekiel is saying that there's judgment that's coming on the house of Israel because they brought foreigners into the house of God. | |
| And Ezekiel begins to say, This is the judgment that will be upon you. | |
| He says, You'll be able to minister to people, you'll be able to be gatekeepers. | |
| But he says there's judgment on them. | |
| And then he shifts and he says, But then there are the sons of Zadok. | |
| And he says that because they chose to not rebel, that they could minister before God and minister to him. | |
| And as I was sitting there reading this, you know, the angels told me that cleansing had to come before the glory had to come, and that there was going to be judgment on the house of God. | |
| It's like it hit me all of a sudden, read Ezekiel 44, that there has been judgment on God's house, and we've not even recognized that. | |
| And what I mean by that is that the judgment that was on the house of Israel is what I call horizontal ministry. | |
| Where remember, Ezekiel said judgment would be on you, but you can still minister to people. | |
| But then he says, But then there are sons of Zadok, and they have the blessing of the Lord. | |
| And what will separate them, the sons of Zadok, from those who have done evil in the eyes of the Lord is that the sons of Zadok could minister to the Lord. | |
| And so it's real important that we separate that there are two types of ministry in the house of God: there is ministry to the house of God, and then there is ministry to the God of the house. | |
| And there are many places in America and around the world that are under the judgment of God. | |
| And by that, I mean all that's happening there is ministry to people. | |
| They have given themselves over to idolatry, to the entertainment, to this kind of three songs and a nice message. | |
| It's all about people, people, people. | |
| Whereas the Lord is saying, I'm raising up sons of Zadok in the earth who will minister to me. | |
| They'll be true worshipers in spirit and in truth. | |
| And so, Lori and Mondo, honestly, this really challenged my judgment theology because, you know, when you talk about the judgment of God, I'm thinking Ananias and Sapphira, and you know, they're struck down dead, or maybe we're back in the Old Testament and Sodom and Gomorrah. | |
| And that's actually not what God is saying. | |
| God is saying that there is judgment in large parts of the body of Christ where they are limited. | |
| They are restrained by only focusing on the needs of people rather than the sons of Zadok that God has cleansed and purified. | |
| They have special access into the deep places of God's heart. | |
| And so I believe that a trumpet blast is being released to the earth. | |
| I do believe that God has called me as an end-time watchman. | |
| I do love and I do support Jim Baker. | |
| I want to go on record as saying that I do believe that Jim Baker is an end-time watchman, that there has been a demonic attack unleashed against him. | |
| And as I've said on a previous show, and I feel inclined to say it again: the places of our greatest warfare are the places of our greatest inheritance. | |
| The reason why there's so much warfare against the house of Jim Baker right now is because there's an inheritance that God has given Jim to be an end-time watchman. | |
| And so, as a younger emerging watchman, I just want to offer up my sword and my voice and take a stand with Jim and say that there's absolutely a third great awakening coming. | |
| There's glory, there's miracles. | |
| But just as David Wilkerson, Leonard Ravenhill, some of the watchmen have so clearly said, you know, you guys are getting me all fired up, or I'm getting myself fired up. | |
| But the role of watchmen is that they are geared for emergency. | |
| If someone is a true watchman, they come alive in hours of crisis. | |
| They were made and created for it. | |
| And so you have the Wilkersons, the Ravenhills, Jim Baker. | |
| God raises up watchmen in critical hours of history to cut through the confusion and the chaos, even the crisis, and release the word of the Lord that will awake and shake up the people of God. | |
| And so I just believe that, yes, there's a boom coming to the upper room. | |
| There's an outpouring of revival. | |
| But if we do not allow this broom to sweep and cleanse and purify, if we don't get back to the secret place, if we don't take this time to really get into the place of prayer and ask God for his heart, | |

Fasting From Business As Usual
00:00:22
|
|
| if we don't make adjustments, there's a window of time right now on the earth where we're supposed to be on our faces, praying, fasting, crying out, so that when we come out of this quarantine time, we are not going back to business as usual. | |
| There's no such thing as church as normal ever again. | |
