WE MUST HAVE FINANCIAL RESOURCES FOR THE SAKE OF KINGDOM ASSIGNMENTS
THE VENUE WE USED FOR THE PROGRAM IN LEEDS COST US UP TO 300,000 POUNDS. ALMOST 250 MILLION NAIRA FOR THE VENUE ALONE.
ONE SOUL THAT IS SAVED, ONE PASTOR THAT IS TRANSFORMED, ONE CHURCH THAT IS LIFTED IS MORE THAN TEN MILLION POUNDS IF THEY MAKE IT AT THE END AND GO TO HEAVEN.
THAT IS WHY YOU MUST HAVE FINANCIAL RESOURCES FOR THE SAKE OF KINGDOM ASSIGNMENTS
WE WENT TO ONE COUNTRY ONE TIME AND ONE MAN SAID THE KIND OF AIRCRAFT YOU USED TO COME IS NOT GOOD, IT IS TOO SMALL. DON’T USE THAT AGAIN AND HE RENTED A BIGGER ONE. ‘PEOPLE DEY OH!’
THIS IS NOT LUXURY, PEOPLE WHO ARE DOING NOTHING AND IMPACTING NO LIFE ARE MOVING AROUND ANYHOW THEY WANT.
TERRORISM IS SPONSORED BY PEOPLE WITH MONEY. THEY HAVE ENDLESS AMMUNITION. PLENTY OF PEOPLE PAID FOR IT, COUNTRIES ARE PAYING FOR IT.
MONEY DOING WICKED WORK OF BLOODSHED AND THEN THE devil RAISES HIS UGLY HEAD AND SAYS THE CHURCH SHOULD BE POOR.
THAT devil IS A LIAR. BOTH THE CHURCH AND THE MEMBERS OF THE CHURCH ARE GOING TO CONQUER WEALTH UNTIL WE PERSECUTE THE devil WITH RESOURCES
I TOLD A GIRL TO RETURN HOME FROM CHURCH BECAUSE SHE WAS DRESSED INDECENTLY
– Dr. Pastor Paul Enenche on “FORCES OF REVIVAL 1 – WHAT IS REVIVAL?” || International Ministers’ Flaming Fire Conference 2023 DAY 1 EVENING SESSION || Glory Dome, Abuja || 22nd August, 2023.
Acts 8:5-10. FORCES OF REVIVAL 1 – WHAT IS REVIVAL? Our objective tonight is to understand the features or character of revival from Scripture. Church Gist. We shall understand the way of revival from Scripture.
Beloved brothers and sisters, we are in the end of time. The signs of the end time are very glaring and obvious – where witches are coming out to say, “we are witches” and homosexuals, gay and all of that are coming out to claim right. Church Gist. That was what happened to Sodom and Gomorrah and God said, “I can’t watch this anymore.” The end time is the time for the most drastic move of God such as the world has never seen. It is prophetic and it has been prophesied. Joel 2:1-3, 23-28; Haggai 2:6-9; Acts 3:19-21; Romans 8:19; So we are in a prophetic season. Isaiah 2:1-2.
What are the features of this revival?
1. The saturation of the Earth with Heavenly climate and atmosphere. It is a season where Heaven literally kisses the Earth. Exodus 13:21. When you are in a season of revival, you feel Heaven in the Earth. Church Gist. It’s like you can touch it, you can smell it. There is that feelable tangible palpable presence of God that demons scream out of when they are experiencing. The Apostles saw that in Jerusalem where the shadow of Peter healed the sick.
2. It is the manifestation and exhibition of the almightiness of God. It is God stepping in and saying, “Let me show you who I am.” Numbers 14:21; Habakkuk 2:14. It is the manifestation, it is the exhibition. You know when they do trade fair in the physical, they exhibit various wares and materials but in the revival it is manifestation, the exhibition of the almightiness of God. Church Gist. That was what happened in Samaria in Acts 8:5, there was just an explosion of the almightiness of God. The lame were walking, the blind were seeing all manner of miracles were happening. That was what happened in Acts of the Apostles where the man born crippled sitting at the Beautiful Gate was jerked up by power. It is the exhibition and the manifestation of the almightiness of God.
Last year in America when we went to Houston for a Crusade, a woman brought two children. Both children were autistic children. I think they had ADD as well as autism, they were zero as far as academics were concerned, completely zero. These children, apart from her autistic children, also herself had not eaten food for seven years. Church Gist. Yes! She had not eaten food for seven years -Allergies! She lived on vegetables, just slight quantity of vegetables. If she ate normal food, I mean any form of food, she could have anaphylaxis condition and die. Seven years! She has not eaten food for seven years. This woman was in the meeting, the power of God rushed on her. I laid hands on the two children and I told her that God was going to change their brain.
I’d like you to hear what happened, the same day right? The power of God came upon her, the allergic symptoms disappeared, she went straight to the restaurant and ordered fish. She ordered fish, ate the fish, no reaction, began to eat food, no reaction, she ate food for one year and came back one year later. Are you ready for this? Church Gist. The child that could not go to school because of autism, you know what happened to two of them? This child returned back to school when the doctor said he was useless for school, this child returned back to school, he wrote exams and passed the exams until two Universities gave him admission – One on merit, I believe one was on a scholarship. And what is he to read? One on Accounting Minor plus Aerospace Engineering, that is over brain! Space Engineering! That is, he had cleared Further Mathematics, he had cleared Physics, he had cleared everything and had the brain to work on space. The boy that was autistic became a genius because the power of God is real.
-Somebody here get ready because something is about to happen for your life. You are about to walk into a realm of power you have never experienced before. I don’t know who God sent me to here today, but God is going to give a testimony in your life, around your life and through your life that will amaze people until people wonder whether this is real.
3. The humiliation and the destruction of the forces of evil
A major character of revival is to catch the devil and humiliate him and teach him to regret his devilishness. And bring him to the point where he regretted the day he became a devil. He was an angel before, he was Lucifer before he became satan, the devil. There are many of us here who carry a mantle that will make the devil to regret his devilishness, that will make the devil to cry. Church Gist. He didn’t say unclean spirits shouted or screamed, He said, they cried. Take it literally, they cried! If demons can weep, they wept, they shed tears, they were so manhandled, they were so humiliated, they were so molested. We are in that season where the devil is going to regret his evil, where the agents of the devil will regret their evil, it is Scriptural! Unclean spirits cried out! Acts 8:7. He said: ‘I am passing through Egypt tonight’! That is part of revival, I want to sentence the gods of Egypt Exodus 12:12.
-I announce to you today, every deity of evil, every shrine, every satanic altar and every work of evil that has ever confronted your life and dared your family and your destiny, you are leaving with a mantle to humiliate those powers, to molest those powers, to destroy those powers.
Somebody shout Power!
I want you to leave here with a sufficient dose of anger, there is a connection between anger and unction. When the lion roared against Samson. Samson, an anger stirred up on the inside of him and then the mantle rose up on his head and he tore it to pieces. When David saw Goliath he said: ‘Who is this’? Uncircumcised Philistine! Something rose up inside him! Who is this uncircumcised Philistine? Church Gist. Where is this devil agent coming from? That fury impacted him with a fire that made him to bring down that devil. Beloveth, when God sent Moses He sent Moses to go and revenge all the blood that Pharaoh shed, the blood of all His people, the blood of all the Egyptians. Everyone that Pharaoh killed, everyone that Egypt buried before their time, that was the assignment of Moses. I believe that there are people here today that are going to leave with the mantle of Moses back to your country, community and sink the devil that wanted to sink your life, destiny, family.
Shout Fire!
I think I have told you everything about number 3. We saw how Elijah humiliated the prophets of Baal. Church Gist. He said, “Catch them, let none run”. That is what to do with the devil and his agents in the season of revival.
4. The Liberation and restoration of a people to health, wholeness and liberty.
Acts 8:7. During a revival there is an unction in the air to restore people to health, there is an unction in the air to check out devils. That was what Oral Roberts said concerning the healing revival, he said healing was very easy because it looked like healing was literally in the air. It was as if it was in the atmosphere. We are about to see those days again, in fact, we are seeing those days again when the climate is so thick. People step into church and they step out of wheelchairs. We saw three people rise from wheelchairs this morning. Not a minor issue of he was weak so he sat down, spinal tuberculosis. Tuberculosis of the Spine paralyzed and crippled him. Lumbar spondylosis crippled and paralyzed the second one, I don’t know what was the case of the third one. He had a hip situation like arthritis of the hip or something. Church Gist. All of them jerked up from the wheelchair. One person removed his neck collar and was healed. Another person who had cervical spondylosis was seeing that happening, he ran out and began to move his neck. In other words, what am I carrying when this man is healed? Nobody called him, nobody mentioned it. He ran out with fire, with violence and with aggression. I announce to you before you pray for the next person who is sick, every affliction is flushed out of your own body in the name of Jesus. For somebody, I am anointed to announce to you that this is the convention of your liberty. Whatever is wrong with you biologically, physiologically, or anatomically, I declare today that they are cleared out.
It is the restoration of a people. That was what happened to the Israelites. Church Gist. God said I have seen the afflictions of my people and I have come to deliver them. That was revival.
5. The sanitization of spiritual climates and territories.
When revival happens, spiritual climates are sanitized. Spiritual climates over territories are sanitized, they are purified. When God said I am going to clear out the air over Egypt, it means I am going to clear out the gods over Egypt. Exodus 12:12. When Elijah said “Hold the prophets of Baal, let none of them escape ” and he slew 400 prophets of Baal and 450 prophets of Asherah and threw down their altar. Church Gist. That was a sanitization of the climate in that territory. When Philip finished with Samaria, if Philip had left and left Simon in Samaria, the work was not finished. That is plus one minus one. For as long as Simon was still there somebody will still be sick, somebody will still be lame, somebody will still be crippled, somebody will still be deceived. Many of you have Simons around you. Some of you have Simons that are your friends but you didn’t know them. You have Simons you listen to but you don’t know them. Acts 8:9. His source is sorcery, his source is witchcraft. He advertised himself not as a sorcerer, not as a wizard but as a great one who carried the power of God. Acts 8:10. Everybody listened to him. He is on social media, he has great followership.
There are many sorcerers carrying the microphone. Many whose source is witchcraft. They have confused the lives of people, confused the mind of the Church and believers. There are people you go to their office and you see the picture of an authentic servant of God, the second picture is that of a sorcerer. You see a sticker of an authentic oil, you see another sticker of a sorcerer. Many of them we know each other. I have asked many people to ask some people ‘what is your root?’ ‘This authority you are in, which authority are you under?’ ‘Who born you?’ How do you want to give birth without being born? Who is your father? You have references of several people, which one is your father? This is what is about to happen and I speak this with passion. For as long as that girl with the spirit of divination is prophesying, she is bringing gain to her master and bringing loss to the kingdom. Church Gist. The gain of their master is the loss of the kingdom. There is a diversion of spiritual traffic for a gullible generation that is bankrupt of discernment, a gullible generation that thinks that all that glitters is gold. A gullible generation that thinks that grammar is unction. This is why I am saying this, God is about to close the assignment of Simon, to end the agenda of the sorcerers. If He ended Simon the sorcerer in Samaria and ended the agenda of the little girl with the spirit of divination in Macedonia. Church Gist. I am anointed to announce to many of you here, your arrival in the city where you are going is the end of the ministry of Simon, the end of the assignment of the sorcerers and wizards.
When you read the Bible, read it well. The people said this is the great power not of the devil, if they had known this is the power of the devil, they wouldn’t celebrate him. Church Gist. You can’t blame the people too much. That was their perception and the perception came from deception.
Everyone that is here that has ever been contaminated and corrupted with an oil from a sorcerer, an impartation from a sorcerer, in this convention I declare it is wiped out!
Why do we have to talk in this area?
If their gain does not affect the Kingdom, no challenge we will just proceed; but their gain brings losses to the Kingdom. Church Gist. It diverts the traffic of genuine seekers who think that all that glitters was gold. Who seek to be pastored by an oil that is not pastoring anybody to Heaven.
6. The intensification of word impact: in seasons of revival, word becomes more impactful than usual. Preaching becomes more impactful than usual. The Word of God proceeds with unusual weight, unusual impact. Luke 24:32; Acts 2:37; have you seen the preaching of John the Baptist before? Matthew 3:5-10 “O generation of vipers” is that how to preach? (That is to say) you snakes, a lineage of snakes, why are you running from hell now? What are you coming here to do? People are responding to your preaching and coming. If it is today, it is an over celebration. Church Gist. All of us we are very happy when the venue is jammed. This one, Bible said Jerusalem, Judaea, everybody came and met him where he was and he is telling them, “why are you coming? Why did you come? Remain at home and perish.” It was not a feel good preaching – “you shall make it -Amen; you shall succeed -Amen; Whether you live right or not God will bless you” it was not motivational preaching or pamper me preaching. The more he said that, the more they came. Matthew 3:8-10.
That is why you don’t have to water down your preaching or water down the standard of your message. Church Gist. To impact your world, you don’t have to compromise the content of what you’re saying to attract the people. If it is authentic revival, the Word of God as raw as it will bring the people. That is what we call the weight of words. That was the kind of thing people like John Wesley, Charles G. Finney, D. L. Moody, had. I believe we are coming to those days again.
7. The realization of genuine conviction and conversion: not just answering the altar call, not somebody coming to the altar call like he is coming to do God favour with chewing gum, hands in pocket. What kind of reverence is that? There is no civilized repentance; it is raw and primitive.
We were in America and some people were covering us on camera in the program. They were chewing gum. I told Dr Mrs Becky, “I want to talk to these people. Let them chew the gum after the service.” It was as if they agreed – this one is chewing, the other one is chewing, the other one is chewing. Church Gist. I was feeling very irritated. Even if you are not interested in what is happening, concentrate and do your work. Don’t forget what I just said, “there is no civilized repentance.” If you are facing God, face him raw and I believe very soon, America and Europe shall see the primitiveness of the power and the anointing of God!
There is a climate of genuine conviction where people are coming to the altar crying. They run out and go on their knees on their own. Nobody told them. There is that climate of genuine conviction and conversion. 1 Kings 18:39; Acts 8:5-8.
8. It is the realization of genuine transformation of lives: in this season of revival you see lives that are changed. Church Gist. Call it the production of authentic Christians, disciples. Not people with one leg in the Church, another leg outside the Church. Acts 11:26.
During the revival of the 70s that some of us came to the Lord first – 1978, 1979, when you saw a Christian you know that this person is a Christian. Nobody needed to tell you. Church Gist. In those days nobody will hold cigarette in his hand and bring hand to shake you and you will agree. You were too holy to shake an alcoholic hand. Then, even as a man, it is not all cloth you will wear.
This morning I was coming to Healing and Deliverance service and I saw one girl coming into Church. I said, what is this now? I wound down the glass and said, “this is Church not night club please” – today. You only wear this kind in your bedroom; even in your bathroom. You know one day, my wife and I, the family, we went to Hilton. As we stepped out, you know those kind of people that dress that way are plenty there. Church Gist. A little boy then saw one coming and blocked his eyes. Small boy! Nobody told him anything, he knew that this kind of dressing is not meant for outside. I don’t know how old he was – may be 5 or 6. That was the type somebody was wearing to Church that I said, “return back.” You are free to come as you are but you are not permitted to remain the way you were. If you have come once and twice like that, there should be a change. At that time you felt guilty if you didn’t carry tracts in your pocket. You are not well dressed without tracts. I believe revival is coming here in this season.
9. The explosion and intensification of zeal and passion for God: Psalm 110:3; Mark 16:20; Acts 2:41-47; Acts 8:4. That is what raw revival is. Anywhere you find yourself you are saying something to somebody. Church Gist. Your spiritual life followed you everywhere, there is such an explosion of zeal. Whenever a Church is lacking in zeal, when the members are only coming to receive miracle or coming to hear good preaching or coming to feel good with service, then something is terribly wrong and revival is in dire need.
10. The escalation of supernatural experiences, encounters and visitations.
Paul the Apostle had the encounter on the way to Damascus. Acts 9:1-12. Where the light struck him and he was hearing the voice of the Master. Philip had the encounter after he finished the revival in Samaria in Acts 8, after the Holy Ghost asked him to join a chariot. Time lost relevance, there was no time at all, time disappeared. Church Gist. There is a witness I have in my Spirit that we are in that season where things like this will be happening. We are in that season! When will you testify? Mother-in-law had terrible affliction on the leg, very very terrible. Surgeons were meant to go on for surgery, brought the picture two days ago Sunday after Service and I said: ‘In the name of Jesus, this affliction you have dried up, dry up and surgery cancelled’. Sunday! Today is Tuesday, the affliction is dried up, surgery is cancelled, being discharged today! Under 48 hours!
One of our members lost his phone in Lugbe here and he was in Kuje which is another District altogether in fact another Local Government Area. And the Holy Ghost said: ‘Go here and see that dustbin’ and the phone was there. Our sister was in the midst of kidnappers on Benin-Ore Express Road, in the thick of the bush, sang ‘You are always there to help me’. Lifted up her face, next place she found herself was on Benin Highway beside Army Checkpoint who harvested her, gave her accommodation for 24 hours and then sent her on her way to Lagos after she told her story. One of us followed us to UK for Conference, this particular Conference inside the train lost everything – Bag, ATM, international passport carrying the visa, everything disappeared inside the train. He said: ‘Sir, how do I go home? And now if it is time to return home, you need a passport, you need a visa inside and if you don’t have it you have to go and start talking about travel documents and what will take you back home, Embassy and so on’. Church Gist. I said: ‘No! It is found, it can’t be lost, it is recovered on the spot’. Went to that Airport like she wanted to board and here was the bag! Lost in the Train Station with everything inside – Computer, ATM card, international passport, every single thing that was lost inside the train was found at the Airport. That one the testimony has not been shared, I’m sharing it ahead of time, the person is still out in the UK. You see? The reason why these things have to be said is so that you can walk with expectation that we are in the season where anything can happen, anything is possible, anything is happenable.
I had a little boy picture that I like so much, I think I was 4 years old there with hand in pocket as usual. Church Gist. That picture disappeared, it was to me as if it was a house or a building or anything that has disappeared. I love that picture so much, my wife loves the picture so much, it was one of her incubation pictures. One day I say: ‘Lord! I need to find this picture’! Under 24 hours, somebody came to me and said I found some pictures somewhere, I’d like you to look at it. That was when I was convinced that if God can be interested in me finding picture then anything is findable.
Declarations: Supernatural experiences, encounters, visitations, that is my testimony.
11. The submission of whole cities and territories
You remember Israel under Moses, the whole of Israel came out from Egypt in one day. You remember Israel in the days of Elijah. 1 Kings 18:39. You remember how cities came for John the Baptist. Matthew 3:3. What of Paul the Apostle? Acts 13:44. We have come to the stage where whole cities shall be subdued and if you are two brethren in the City, two anointed men of God that carry revival mantle you will just share it. You take from here to here, me take from here to there, we all command the City together, we command the Territory together. Church Gist. Am I communicating at all? When we went to Jalingo, the City almost stood still, if we continued that crusade one more night, that Stadium you are seeing there would have become the overflow, there was already overflow outside in the Stadium! And we are going to go back there because the level of expectation and celebration that the people have there is rare, we are going back there! Hunger! We are going back there, we are going back there three days! People travelled in seven hours, what’s their farthest distance from Gembu? Seven hours, eight hours, they arrived after the Crusade had closed, I felt very bad! They went to where we poured the oil on the ground and dug the ground, they kept digging the oil. When we went to Kano, we were told that the last time anything like this was to happen was when Reinhard Bonnke was meant to come in 1991 and resulted in riot and it was canceled. That was when they would have had a crowd like this, which meant that a crowd like this had not been. They would have had a crowd like this when Bonnke came but Bonnke couldn’t come so a crowd like that couldn’t happen in that land and we trust God to go back there again.
In the City of Leeds in the UK, there is no history of any major servant of God coming to the City, it is Northern England, now this is not Nigeria, it is United Kingdom. It had never happened that either a Benny Hinn or anybody, any of those frontline people even Morris Cerullo that went everywhere, Leeds they didn’t go! Leeds, England! Daddy G.O. would go to Manchester and London, nobody ever went there. Church Gist. And when we looked at where to go and it was pinpointed and the Spirit gave us the go ahead to go, the whole of Leeds were exploding, the Mayor of Leeds was in attendance. The Mayor after we finished exchanging pleasantries and he spoke from the altar, we went to sit down. He was about to go because of other engagements, he said: ‘But you have not prayed for me! I need a prayer’! So I took him back to the altar and said: ‘You know what’? The Mayor said: ‘He’s the 127th Mayor, there is a Church building there that is a thousand years old that Church, it doesn’t have a Pastor now. It’s part of the kind of things we want to go and buy back.
🎶 There is a mighty revelation of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea. All over the world… 🎶
12. It is the explosion of supernatural supply
We are in the season where God must just give money to the Church, He must just release supplies, release resources. How we moved from Leeds to Bedfordshire through Luton Airport, no way we could have gone on normal movement and be here on Sunday to preach. I was meant to speak ten minutes in that Church in Old Rugged Tent Revival. I was so tired we finished from Leeds by 5am, this program was starting by 9, we had to rest a little and go to the Airport. I told a Pastor, what do you want? We are so exhausted! We did all night, this and that, he said: ‘Well! If you are not able to come, I will understand but I will be happy if you came’! I told him: ‘I’m on my way coming’! We got there, the man told me he said: ‘The way you were coming’, because he watched the night vigil along with us. ‘The way you were and did the all night till morning, I thought you would just preach for ten minutes -Full blast preaching! Ministration, deaf hearing, crippled walking, rheumatoid arthritis, Pastor is vibrating on the ground there, all manner! Hit the Airport by 3pm and took off, journey is longer than usual because there is no flight across Niger Republic, they went round. All journeys have added At least one hour, we reached here about ten in the night. Rested a bit then we came back for two Services on Sunday, miracle Crusades, then Monday, the meeting for the youths and singles, here we are today.
One of our pastors said he needed a little rest so he could cope very well for the program, that I should excuse him from the first night’s meeting. I said “You are highly excused. I could understand how tired you must be from preaching all through. The schedule is too much, you need that rest.” Hallelujah! Massive resources. Resources that will fly workmen. At times when I see some of the people covering the program with cameras, I say no! They don’t know the work at all. We need to carry our workmen, cameramen, mixing people, instrumentalists, singers, ushers and protocols. Church Gist. So you have a separate aircraft like an Airbus that is carrying the workforce, another one carrying equipment. A cargo plane. This is not luxury, people who are doing nothing and impacting no life are moving around anyhow they want. Many of you have an unction to be organizing crusades in the city where you are but it is the resources that you don’t have. The vision is there, the passion is there but the supply is not there. It is ‘have’ that you don’t have. A locality where you are, you put up a stage there and advertise the move of God. Then the crowds gather, you are not the healer, you make a demand on the unction of God and the deaf are hearing, the lame are walking, people are delivered and you are getting people saved and expanding the Kingdom, the multitudes come so that the house may be filled. You are moving from location to location, you may not go worldwide because that is not your scope but wherever you are found there is an assignment there that requires resources.
One of our pastors told me that when he sees the way I am restlessly moving about, he said it looks like he is wasting time because he needs to do all these crusades in the locality. Massive resources, to organize crusades with quality stage. Look at Leeds, look at the sanctuary. It cost us up to 200,000 or 300,000 pounds. Just multiply it by the current naira rate. If you multiply it, how much is that in naira? Almost 250 million Naira for the venue. Those people don’t hear explanations. If you do extra to the time agreed you pay extra money. Abeg is not there. Forget about abeg. Don’t talk about it because some people will faint if you continue talking. No! We are not talking about equipment, there are other things that are equivalent to the same cost as the venue. Church Gist. You haven’t talked about flights yet. What shall it profit a man if he gains the whole world and lose his soul? One soul is worth more than 200,000 pounds. One soul is more than a million pounds. One soul that is saved, one pastor that is transformed, one church that is lifted is more than ten million pounds if they make it at the end and go to heaven. That is why you must have financial resources for the sake of kingdom assignments. I reject the spell of scarcity, of shortage, of empty handedness. I must be empowered. If it was for the purpose of this Day 1 that you came for this Conference, you have heard too much. Acts 8:8.
Exodus 12:36. The flight we used to go and come one person paid for it. Let me not give you headache by telling you the cost. It is not a hundred thousand dollars, it is in excess of it. That is the kind of thing you will be doing for the sake of the kingdom. Outright purchases for the sake of the kingdom. We went to one country one time and one man said the kind of aircraft you used to come is not good, it is too small. Don’t use that again, he rented another one, a bigger one. He said it is like using a small car, don’t use that again. I don’t like it. That person has three of his own. People dey oh! In the name that is above every name, Jesus Christ the resurrected Lord, the spirit of scarcity and shortage will never be your portion. So when we came back from that particular crusade we came back with two planes. Since we already paid for it, there was no way it could return empty. That one brought the rest of the people.
Terrorism is sponsored by people with money. I was talking with a service person the other day lamenting that they go to face these people and they give them four magazines of ammunition. Before you know it you have run out of magazines and these people have endless ammunition. Church Gist. Plenty of people paid for it, countries are paying for it. That is money doing evil work. Money doing wicked work of bloodshed and then the devil raises his ugly head and says the church should be poor. That devil is a bastard liar. Both the church and the members of the church are going to conquer wealth until we persecute the devil with resources and go where we want to go per time to snatch people from the pit of hell and the pit of darkness.
13. The explosion of joy and celebration.
That is one thing you can’t miss in a revival. There is an explosion of joy in a revival. Acts 2:13. Church Gist. Because of the level of ecstasy and excitement they saw with them, they said these men are full of wine. Acts 8:8. That is revival.
I made up my mind that if somebody comes from Zimbabwe and stays here for one session till 12 midnight, it is worth it. Church Gist. Somebody paid money from the U.S.A. not to transact business but to come and receive from God. Time makes no sense to them, provided they will receive what they came for.
We are going to pray. Lord, this character of revival express it in my life. I am not going to give all the secrets tonight because the secrets are what we are going to be dealing with throughout this conference, but there is something you must not forget. There must be the marriage of human desperation with divine visitation to birth spiritual revolution. That is a man is desperate at the same time God is visiting. Then a spiritual revolution which is what we call revival can be born. Acts 2:1-3. The day of Pentecost talks about divine timing, so there is a connection between the right time and the right place. Many of us are here now, against all odds you came. Church Gist. The right timing. I just told you that God is up to something in the world. It is called revival. The right time and the right place. See where the problem is, many people the day of Pentecost came but they were not in the Upper Room. They were not where they were meant to be in prayer, in fasting, in desperation and in the right location. For many, many days of Pentecost have come and nothing has changed in their lives. They were not in the Upper Room, they were in the Lower Room, some were in the Side Room. Some who were meant to be in the Upper Room were in the Supper Room, when they were meant to be fasting they were feasting. There was a signal to wait on the Lord because God is up to something and they didn’t notice it.
