Sermon Transcription
Wow, thank you Jesus. You guys are a wild bunch. I can tell this is gonna get interesting for sure. Steve, love you. Give a hand for Steve Swanson. Oh my goodness. I miss you, buddy. Yeah, you too, man. We, uh, it's been a minute. I think me and Steve were in Maryland last time, whenever that was. Tony, bro, love you to no end. You got to give it up for Tony Kemp. He is a legend. Yeah. You guys have no idea who is in your midst. I love and honor Tony to no end, really. He's been a father mentor. I've been following him for years. And, uh, I'm telling you, if you want to stay sick or don't encounter God, do not come to his meetings. It's going to be out of hand. I'm telling you. I just saw you the other day, man, deaf ears popping open. He's just been rocking the globe for years. It's going to get wild. So anyway, and please come get the mic. If you see anything, he'll start seeing Elijah come through here. I'm just telling you, I'm serious. It was no joke. Anyway, very excited to be with you all want to honor pastor Darren. If we can please give it up for an SRC. Yeah. I know. Uh, I think he stepped out, but he'll hear this later, but man, just really love and honor him. This is our first time meeting, but I've followed you guys for a while now. And just, I'm like, who is this guy? How many of you are from this house? Raise your hand. Okay. Yeah. I'm like, man, this guy is amazing. I was telling my buddy Mikael. I'm like, he's a pastor. He's ridiculous pastor, but then I'm like, well, no, he's an evangelist. I see him out and like chop, just prophesying and like on the streets of Portland and just healing the sick, like a madman. And, uh, but he's real prophetic. He's like Apple saw my, who is this guy? He's one of these new hybrids that carries heaven. That's all I can say. He loves Jesus deeply rooted in the word. And, um, just honor you guys really, really honored to be here. So let's pray. I hope Jesus just smashes us. Is that okay? You know, the term smashes us. Does that work up here? It's been a minute. I, um, I was trying to think back. I I've been through here a good bit, but, uh, I think it was honestly, 2012, 13, last time I ministered in Seattle. So it's been a while. Um, I'm originally from Louisiana. A lot of you can probably hear the accent, but now I'm up in Atlanta, not too far up, maybe eight hours. Um, but let's pray. I just want Jesus to have his way. Is that okay? Jesus, we love you be glorified. Come Holy spirit glorify Jesus. We pray have your way, do whatever you want to do whenever, however you want to do it. Be glorified in Jesus name. Amen. Awesome. So, um, are we watching a certain time or just want to honor leadership? Oh, you sure? Okay. We'll let you know. It'll hook me and pull me off the stage, but, um, how many of you are from the Seattle area? Okay. Wow. How many of you from out of state? Okay. So a lot of people from, from local. Um, so I had a couple of dreams. How many of you understand the prophetic? I just, this is my first time here. Good. All right. So I won't have to go into a whole lot of teaching on that, but I had a couple of dreams I want to share and do my best to align with them. How many of you know? Um, you know, it's amazing. The word of God's always stands true, but if you can align with his now voice, it's really more potent and just what he wants to do. So that's really what I'm trying to always look for in ministry. And, uh, and then in a second, if we can lay hands on people, is that okay too? If you want prayer, but I just, I was on the plane and, uh, I saw Psalm 92, 10, uh, the horn being exalted and being oil poured out. And so I don't know if anybody has anointing oil, hardly do this with oil, but I just saw it. That's all. If anybody has oil and you want prayer, I want to lay hands with oil just because I saw it on the plane. And I believe people are going to get rocked, healed in your bodies, commissioned. How many of you know, listen to me, if I breathe on you, I'm not being arrogant. I just believe the Bible and Jesus. If I breathe on you, the last thing you need to worry about is COVID. You're going to get that Holy ghost. I'm just telling you right now. I don't, I mean, uh, I did it to each his own, but I'm just not a big fan of fear. And I love the Bible. And, um, anyway, the end of book of John says, Jesus breathed on the disciples and they received the Holy spirit and wherever the Holy spirit is a complete Liberty. What you got? Oh yeah, here we go. What flavor we got anyway? It looks beautiful. So awesome. We'll just follow Darren's order on that. But I just like to do as you see, I'll never forget years ago. Um, and Tony can take you way deeper into this, this taken experience with the Lord. But I began to learn, you know, even like William Branham, I would watch generals and like generals, like Tony and like, okay, man, you do, you literally do what you see the father doing like Jesus did. And I was in prayer one, uh, uh, morning and I go into a vision. I was still in Baton Rouge, Louisiana at the time. And I see myself in a hospital over on this highway laying hands on an old man, but I was laying hands on his ankles, super strange to be healed. And I came out of this vision. I was like, that was strange. Um, I go to Best Buy. I totally forgot about the vision. It was from my morning slot and being with the Lord. And my mom calls me out of nowhere. She goes, look, I just got a message. She didn't know I was right across the street, but there's a dear friend of mine. Her father's dying in the hospital. I said, where at our lady, the Lake right across the street, the vision I'd seen what rooms he had. Okay. So I go in there, I go in, I don't understand these, the ways of heaven. Always. You just obey though. And I'm building your faith. Cause I think there's going to be something with laying on of hands and oil. So I'm 92 10. I saw it just on the plane flying here and heaven's going to smash them of us. And I pray I'm right in there with you. So, um, so I go in there and he's dying of throat cancer. All the issues are up here. Maybe it was for their own confidence or whatever it was, but I know they were probably thinking, what is wrong with this young man? It's his throat that needs prayer, but I did obey the vision, laid hands on his ankles. He was totally healed. Miraculous. He's eating. Yeah. Last time I heard he's doing amazing. Um, which was obviously the Lord, but there's something to do with anointing and then fire that they were picking up, man, listen to these, the orange show, these quick dreams. And I'm excited because it has to do with the fire of God, the purity of the Lord, the fear of the Lord in a beautiful way. I just love it all. How many of you just love Jesus? Yeah. I really don't care how he comes when, what he wants to do. Just show up, you know? And, uh, when I warn you ahead of time, sometimes I found out he's not very fond of my preaching. He'll just thump me, man, and start moving ahead. So if you start experiencing the Holy spirit, I won't be offended, but I just want to encourage you to let him touch you. Um, the only place I can find this is where it says, while Peter yet spoke, the Holy spirit fell on the people. But I began to learn this and I just try and navigate it. And I'm pretty confident. He's just not impressed with my, my preaching, which is totally fine. I really don't care. I almost failed. Uh, what was it like hermeneutics or one of those Bible school where you have to learn how to preach. I got like a C it was really bad. So be encouraged in the Lord. If you feel inadequate, look, man, it'll use you. One of my favorite verses is, uh, acts four 13. It says the, the train scholars of that day, they looked at Peter and John and they saw power on a man. And that's what I'm feeling, man. Uh, lately I'm just really stirred. I feel myself going back to like the a Allen, the Seymour, the, the Jack Coe stories, Wigglesworth, John G Lake, man. How many of you know, I can just feel it. We need some raw, Holy ghost filled. Yeah. I love that about pastor Darren. I've been hearing what he's preaching. I'm like, come on, bro. I'm feeling this church, just Bible believing, raw, Holy ghost filled believers. And, uh, but anyway, the, um, I forgot what I was talking about just before that. Do you all remind me? Yeah. Acts four 13. Thanks. The scholars of the day are assessing Peter and John, but they noticed something about them. There's a power and authority. The anointing heaven was on their natural mind kick in. And they said, these are untrained, unordinary, just common men, just common untrained men. And if you read further verse 13, it says the light bulb went off. Basically my version. It says they realized they had been with Jesus and they said, ah, they connected to do theirs with the powers that listen in this day. I want to encourage you still study to show yourself approved, hone in on your craft. I'm for all of it, but more importantly, be with him. Listen, that's what we need. I love that. He was praying that look in Seattle. We don't need like any other trained, whatever it is. We need power. We need the Holy Spirit. We need people fill of heaven. And I've been sensing that again, that we got to get back to the basics, man, really simplify, just cut the fat out of life and go for him. You know what I mean? And, uh, soon I'm a stoked. So, uh, I left my phone down there, but basically I want to show these quick two dreams, teach on it for a brief minute. Won't keep you too long. And then love to lay hands on some people. If you want prayer, if you don't, we'll pray corporately. Yeah. And as long as pastor Darren is cool with it, but listen, man, we, um, been traveling now again for a few months and I'm sure Tony will tell you the same. There's a potency I'm seeing it's different. I'm telling you, there's a hunger. Let's be honest. If you're up in this jammed building in these times, you're hungry. I'm just telling you, this isn't normal just so you know. And, uh, it was awesome with me and pastor Darren, we, we got a coffee right before and he rose up. He totally forgot his mask. It was awesome. He was so used to like the kingdom. You know, like we don't, we don't think about it. You know, he's like, dude, let's go through drive through, get our coffees and still drink them outside of Starbucks. He was about to glitch the system. It was awesome. But I'm seeing this hunger level and this tenacity for heaven and heaven meets hunger. And we're just seeing blow places up. Look, I was just up in Indiana and they would chose the tent route. I don't care where we're at. Jesus, it didn't matter to him. Listen, years ago I was visiting a brother, David Hogan's work. Do you all know of him? He's amazing. Yeah. I love them dearly. And, uh, we were out in the middle of nowhere, Mexico, huts, hard dirt floors, stick, huts, bamboo. And you know, I'm, I'm having the Western mindset. We need like Steve Swanson in the background. We need some angelic pads, something for the glory to come. And there's none of that. It's just dry. You know, you're backwards and they had Coke though. I don't know how they had Coca Cola out there. But anyway, heaven starts moving through this, through this, uh, hut chickens running around. And I learned a big lesson that day. Nothing stops heaven. Hunger attracts him and he'll blow through. He started smoking the place and the fire fell. And, uh, but anyway, we've been in Indiana. Yeah. They chose the tent routes and bodies are just falling out in the fireflies out in their lightning bugs, whatever you call them. And, uh, all over the place you've been healing bodies, touching people, deliverance, and he's moving. You know, we serve a God who's the same yesterday, today, and forever. Acts 10 38, Jesus went about doing good healing, all that we're oppressed of the devil. And just want to raise your expectancy. We're seeing a real potency and hunger. And, um, and I can just feel it lately. I'm just being honest with you guys that, um, there's another side I'm seeing of him where he, the games are over. You know, I know it's not real popular, but I'm seeing this other side to him turn. It's still Jesus, but he means business. It's really, really pretty. And, um, it's all, it's altogether lovely, still beautiful, but he's kind of amping it up. And, uh, I just want to encourage you guys that that's still Jesus too. The Bible says, behold, the kindness and severity of God. Hebrews 10, we're talking all new Testament here. Hebrews 10, the Bible says, it's a fearful thing to fall into the hands of a living God. There's an angel just reading revelation recently that soars over with the good news. And his first proclamation is fear of the Lord. And that, that fear of the Lord, that reverential all I'm telling you is coming back. You're going to see it come on the forefront. Yeah. I think it's beautiful. Um, but anyway, so I, I, uh, uh, had these dreams last night. Typically it gives me a good parameter of where I'm going. It shows me the depth of the house and it really helps me a lot, uh, but also kind of where the Lord wants to go in a real simple. The first one I saw was these, what I knew to be these new higher levels of darkness starting to pop up in these streams. They were definitely coming through waterways, which I believe are false movements of the world. We would look at them in the prophetic as movements of the spirit, but they were movements of the familiar spirit, but they were popping up new. This isn't a fearful thing. This is just insightful. And obviously you can see where the world's going, but new higher level realms of opposition. Cause also, you know, we're not to be naive. I mean, listen, I'm not a dark focus guy at all, but Ephesians six, super clear, you know, the armor of God. And, uh, you can see we're in a battle. Of course I'm Jesus focus all the time, but sometimes the Lord highlights the emphasis on what he's doing and what's happening worldwide for, you know, our knowledge and insight. All I know is I saw dark forces, um, on a level we've not yet seen starting to pop up and increase. And, um, the beautiful thing was that was the first dream. And then it goes straight into the second dream where I saw now the temple of God being made and almost finished for his glory to fill. And it showed me that he's recently, I was reminded I was in prayer and I saw the Lord. If you can hear this, can you hear my like the watch? I saw the Lord, like a timing watch in the heavens, turn it and start to kind of speed up time, speed up the activity of heaven. And right after he did that, listen, I don't by any means condone the Lord ordaining a lot of what you're seeing happening there. No, no way, but he'll sure use it. He always wins. He's not taken back by surprise. And so the devil will often play a hard hand and the Lord's like, bring it, bring all you got really put all your chips up because I just, I'm about to checkmate you and fill my house with the glory. He dominates every scene. Yeah. And, uh, and so it was funny. I saw almost like the Lord speeding up time. And right after that, I saw these almost like jellyfish type realms coming out of the dark world and descending more rapidly and potently into the earth, the dark world. I knew it to be this. They were even red. Well, apparently just last month, they captured this. It was a photo. They emailed our ministry and all this stuff. Exactly how I saw it. I didn't even know this was possible by weather pattern, but they, they captured this crazy lightning strike. They literally called it jellyfish sprites that manifests and trickled down out of the sky. And they're red. And, uh, it was almost like atmospheric wonder of what I had seen, um, which I think is encouraging for us to just know the times and seasons and knowing what you're seeing. And there are things are amping up. Why for the Lord to capture his bride for the Lord's return, things are speeding up for him. So the dream, I think was very similar to the two of an increase of darkness, but you're going to see an increase of God's glorious temple being built. So his glory can come in a more full potent way. And what was specific about this dream was, um, it was all about right around the Holy of everything was gold, all the utensils, the tools I was actually building. And that was super fun to me. My background is, uh, custom homes for like a decade. I built custom homes for years and we dealt with a lot of high-end architecture and designers, things like this, but I'm looking at it and I knew it's the temple, basically the Holy of Holies where everything's gold, listen to fasteners, everything I was dealing with was gold. And you only see that be the prerequisite nearest the Holy of Holies where everything's gold. You come out a little further into the temple, things can be bronze, but you get nearest the glory and everything's gold in this dream. And it was actually real close to being secure. I knew a few last things weren't quite plum and straight to finish it. And look, if you read, I won't bog down the time through, through the word, but if you read when Solomon finished the temple, that's when the glory came. I read it sometimes the Lord's just waiting on you to finish what he told you to do. His glory is on the edge, waiting to pour into something. But have you ever left anything unfinished that he told you to do? I've done that a million times, man. What is up dude, bro? How you been? Are you still in California? Sandy? Yeah. Yeah. Wow, bro. Looking swole as ever. Oh yeah. Right. No, dude, you look good, man. Miss you. Love you too. But basically when it's complete and I could see a last wall or two getting plumbed up and his glory is going to come, listen to me. I'm telling you, I really sense you're going to start seeing potent realms of glory hit corporate houses in this one. I had the dream just last night. And so obviously there's, look, we know there's an increase of darkness in realms we've not seen, which I kind of like that. I know that sounds weird, but it shows me like, okay, yeah, this is not the day for games. Do you guys tracking with me? It's not the time to be naive. It's the time to be sober, alert a week of awakening. Look, December 25th, Christmas day, the one that just passed. I thought I was having a great time with my family. Um, I started to feel anointing men now. Um, I mean it was before, but I just started, I can just feel a different, uh, December 25th, Christmas morning. My parents are in town. We're doing the whole Christmas thing. You know, we don't do Santa. Sorry for the yells at do. That's just not true, but we give gifts and it's fun. We eat. So I'm, we stayed up late. It was not, I was not being super spiritual by my standards by any means. How many of you, most of the time God encounters you, you're not doing anything really spiritual. That's a lot with me. I don't know why I guess just to keep me humble and realizing he also, I'll just, I'll tell you with me, he also breaks in meetings when I'm not saying anything cool at all. I wish he would. It's the most non-assuming times. I'm not kidding you. I wish I could say something really like, wow, like a, you know, nice phrase and him break in. It never works like that. It just thumps me. Uh, so Christmas morning, three 24 on the dot, um, I'm awakened week of awakening to the hand of the Lord. I saw it hovering out over my bed. There was a thin heavenly veil and I could see the fist, all knuckles of the Lord himself. Knock this veil forcefully. It wasn't a dainty romantic song of Solomon. This was a boom for like four times. It startled me. It awakened me, scared me. Honestly, the hand of the Lord knock in this, this thin veil right over on bed. Christmas day. I checked the clock. Cause I know these encounters, they're very calculated, very strategic. Three 24. I was a little Lord. What was that about? I knew right away. The knock of the Lord is the church of Laodicea. So the remedy to all of revelation, obviously the Lord, he comes as the remedy in his display. He first says, I am he who has a seven stars on my hand, whatever church it is. He comes as the remedy, corrects rebukes, encourages, and then gives a remedy at the end as well. Well, the remedy to Laodicea is deep, deep intimacy. Hopefully I better go into that some tomorrow morning. Um, but the knock of the Lord, anybody that hears my voice, we all know it. I'll come in and dine with them. And then with me, basically his whole correction, rebuke and everything can be remedied by deep intimacy and hearing his knock and letting him come in and dine with him. So I knew that I've had that experience various ways. I knew that's three 20. I was like, why three 24 Lord? And the Holy spirit showed me he was, this is how he works with me. Prophetically he'll overlap things that I don't ever would. I would never see before. Plus he tied it into the years. And this is just insightful. I think week of awakening aptly named, but he tied it also into revelation three versus two through four, which is the church of Sardis. I had never seen these two churches are most similar. Uh, in, in like each other, Sardis and Laodicea, but also he told me from 20, three, two revelation, three 20 year 20 to 24, the next four years are really going to be a time of awakening, wake up preparation and getting solidified in the Lord. Like, like you never have needed to before in a good way and a real way. Is that okay? Uh, I know a lot of people, this isn't always popular, but I'm just telling you these next four years in a good way, you want to really get rooted in the Lord, man. This is not the time to, to play games deep in the word. And, uh, cause he's wanting to come on a people. And I believe that 10 bridesmaids have been on this for a long time. There's five foolish that don't have enough oil in this hour. The door is going to be shutting on them and you'll miss destiny windows. Anyway, I know these are shout me down versus, but I can feel it. And, uh, but anyway, Sardis revelation three, two through four, the Lord, if you read closely, he says, wake up. And also what happened in the encounter was awakened. And that's what he's doing. I had no idea what was to come of course, leading into 2020, but he's been awakening through shaking and he's really shaking, allowing, again, I'm not saying he's ordaining a lot of this stuff, but he's allowing shaking to awaken. And right now we've got to wake up. Listen, that's what's been happening. And, uh, Sardis and Laodicea they're similar in that they think they have it going on. Which one are we on? Um, yep. Rouse yourselves, wake up. And if you read further Sardis, it it's a church that they think they have it going on basically. But Jesus says your works aren't complete. And Laodicea same thing. He says, look, you think you're rich. You have it all going on, but you don't. And I could tell it was the Lord's assessment on the church at large that we're not quite there yet. Does that make sense to you guys? And I love it because he corrects those he loves in such a pure way. But also I just want to encourage you guys. I can feel it, man. He's preparing that temple right now. And for those right now that will hear that knock and hear the voice, he's preparing them to fill them with a glory you've never seen. I don't think we've ever seen. I'm reminded by, uh, years ago, I was taken into a vision where I saw the lateral movement camp running into our day to see what we were flowing in. This is A.A. Allen, Jack Coe, uh, William Branham. A lot of these guys that to date, I don't know that the earth has seen anything just like it since on a consistent basis. And I could see they were all running into our day to see what we were moving in. Does that make sense to you guys? But the Lord's got to prepare a people. And that's how I was building that temple. And, um, part of it has to do with purity. I could sense that was the main theme in, in watch, watching all of the gold put together. I knew the main thing was purity and, uh, and just want to touch on it briefly. Won't keep us here too, too long. And then we'd love to lay hands on you guys and let the spirit move. And then we'll see where we end up tomorrow. But, um, on the, on the level of purity, I'm really seeing the Lord in different ways, uh, kind of call the standard higher with the bride by the beautiful fear of the Lord. Listen, years ago, I was went into a vision where I saw Isaiah six, uh, the coal, and I could see the, the angel with the whole coal look like a normal burn burning coal to me. I'm thinking, why am I seeing this? And I see the angel look at the coal as though it was the most beautiful thing they had ever seen the burning coal. And, uh, it wasn't even the Lord. It was the coast. So in, in looks at me, the angel says, isn't it beautiful. And I was thinking it looked like a cold to me, but I, and then the vision ended. I'm just being honest with you guys. I wish I was more spiritual sometimes, uh, came out of the vision. But I realized from that, that the, the purity of the Lord, that it produces that coal, look at touch the lips and cleansed Isaiah, uh, is so beautiful to the Lord. And I think he's really purging in a fresh new way right now, not legalistic. Listen, um, you know, he, his loving kindness leads us to repentance. And also I've got to preface this with, you can't strive to be holy. You know, you can't do anything without Jesus and intimately loving him. You know, I love Hebrews. I think 12, one, where it says we are, but, but there is this cooperation that I'm hearing a lack of being preached that I think is very clear in scripture that needs to be highlighted. That's all. Sometimes we put everything up into the sovereignty of God, his grace, I'm righteous in Christ. We are, that's biblical, but also Hebrew says clearly that you and I are supposed to throw off those things that so easily entangle us those sins. It doesn't say Jesus in his blood does it for you. You guys hearing me? Listen, second Timothy, Paul writes to Paul writes to Timothy. It's beautiful. I love this one. I've been on this one for a while. I see he goes into utensils for the kingdom. I'm telling you, man, I can feel it. Sometimes it's this, listen to me. It's the smallest adjustment and alignment. It's the littlest Fox that's still in our life. That's hindering the fullness of Jesus to come in. The Bible says Jesus walks on straight paths only. He doesn't do crooked paths. He does not do them. He walks on the highway of holiness and perfect love and beauty. It's not some legalistic condom condemning thing. He's so loving. He woos you into purity, but he sends John the Baptist to straighten crooked paths. And sometimes there's little Fox is still there. They still loves you. Your salvation is not on the line, but they're hindering the fullness of him coming. Does that make sense? And I've been there plenty. He's like, yep. Nope. That's got to go. Joshua. I love it before they went into the promised land. He said, look, boys, purify yourselves tomorrow. The Lord will do great wonders amongst you. There's something to a purity right now. Just come higher. Look, I don't care that they, they let it slide. I'm not letting you I'm the standard. Now it's, it's coming higher that the teeth on the comb of the fear of the Lord. I liken it to are getting tighter and listen, you want it anyway. It's so beautiful. It's so freeing to live pure. Nothing holds you. It's it's, it's lesser lovers and the fire that we talked about tonight. It's, you know, it's interesting that it talks about Jesus and God being a jealous God connected with the all consuming fire because he'll have nothing else before him. Does that make sense to you guys? And he's starting to burn it out in a beautiful way. Anyway, Paul second Timothy two, he writes to Timothy. He says, look, there's special utensils used for special occasions for the kingdom. They're gold and silver. They're very, very special. Then there's other utensils, wood, clay, just basically everyday use is how Paul describes them. And he says, if you want to be a special utensil, there's only one prerequisite. It's beautiful. Second Timothy, read it when you have a chance. He says, Timothy, if you want to be used as a silver and gold, how many of you want to be used as a silver or gold utensil for the Lord? I liken the other utensils as Sporx. Have you ever seen Sporx? They're not good for anything, man. They bend and, but you can't scoop, but it's poke stuff. They're useless. They're for the trash. It's similar between the five bridesmaids with too much oil and those with less. It's all kingdom. That's one of my favorite parables because it talks about you and I within the church. And that's what Paul's writing to Timothy. He says, look, you can be a Sporx. You can still make the kingdom one day, but I'm telling you the Lord right now is raising up silver and gold utensils in the only prerequisite. Paul says for Timothy, he says, look, if you, if you keep yourself pure, that's it. I said, that's it, Lord. Help me because Hebrews 12 says, look, we are to throw off those sins that so easily entangle us looking unto Jesus. That's how it's done intimacy. And I'm going to hammer that at some point, hopefully we can get it in there. But purity can only be sustained by looking at him. We know that, but often I'm noticing, and I've been guilty of this plenty. We'll look at him, but then we'll go right there and keep hanging on to our little foxes and his voice will start to get dull about those things. The more you don't yield and become pliable to what he's addressing. He started, he starts getting mute on those topics to us. Does that make sense to you guys? I know this isn't a shout me down message, but listen to me. It will set up heaven to rock you. Heaven can step in. Listen, I was just in Alabama preaching from a different passage, but the Lord still went here from a dream and a man haven't snuck in before we got through with the thing and joy smashed the place. And I just, I really had no control after that, but also in your personal life, you'll be like, oh my goodness, what was I doing? They seem small and insignificant. Some things were even just not even blatant sin, but permissible in last season, but they're no longer beneficial in this one. There's new wine skins where the old stuff's not working in the new, there's a cloud moving. And I'm telling you, purity is a beautiful, beautiful thing that he's taking us into. And that's what these, um, these gold utensils were and find the final preparations of his temple for his glory to come. And look, anytime you get close to his rich, potent glory, it's the purest realm. There is everything's gold. Go to heaven. If you want and look at the four living creatures and nearest proximity to him, what are they crying? Holy, Holy, Holy. And it's a deep, intimate rooted thing, but it's, but it's purity. And so just want to encourage you guys personally. Um, we're going to pray here in a second, probably corporately if that's okay, but Jesus searched me, uh, search me. Oh yeah. Before I forget with, uh, also with pastor Darren, this is really good on the plane. I heard 1914 and I knew it was not only the year. I don't know why that year, but Psalm 1914 with you. It tells me a lot. It said, and I didn't remember what the verse was, but let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight. Oh Lord, my rock and my redeemer. It says a lot to me about you, man. Uh, I just, to me, for your, the words of your mouth and the meditation of your heart shows me you're very, very pure vessel and everything about you. So pleasing to him. And that tells me a lot because often we can have the outside appearance, but when nobody's watching what, what about ourselves is pleasing to him is a big, big deal. And, uh, and, and I don't know if there's something with the year 1914. Um, but anyway, real quick again on purity, just hammer it home. Am I boring you guys? So sorry. Yeah, I know this isn't a year type message, but the fire does this man. And it's so freeing and it, it just gets the few kinks out of the crooked path. And then you're like, Oh my goodness, Jesus came. That's all that fire was on, on Tony, man. He can come, his fire can come in a pure, pure way, but he won't come on, on tainted realms. He can purify it, but also in the interesting Hebrews 12 says first for us to throw them off, you know, even submit, no submit to God, resist the devil and he'll flee. There's a submitting of a yielding of ourselves to him fully. And that's how the enemy can flee. But Psalm 24 says that, um, you know, who may ascend the hill of God? He that has clean hands and a pure heart real quickly, clean hands speak of your outward deeds seen by men in a pure hearts. The thing's not seen by men. It kind of amps it up a little bit. And often within the church where we do pretty good on the clean hands part, but our hearts can be pretty off. Do you guys know what I'm saying? We can listen and take in, listen to me right now in this hour, watch what you're, you're watching with your eyes, what you're listening to, who you're around. I mean, let's just go for it. Shall we really, man, just, just let, just search my heart. Oh Lord. Um, gossip, things like this motives of the heart, the Holy spirit is going down into real deeply. Like, why'd you do that? Why did you say that then? That wasn't pleasing to me. What's up, man. God bless you. But, um, he's just coming in a very beautiful, loving, loving way, wooing us. His loving kindness leads us to repentance. He's not browbeating at all, but he's like, yeah, yeah. Please come higher. Listen to me. You don't know what's on the other side of that door. Jesus on the edge of heaven. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I've been talking about that right there. No, I know it's, it's not a big deal to whoever it is, but with you listen, he's starting to really touch things that may not even pertain to your crew, but let it move and watch the fruit and the power and the potency of him come on you and then through you and then let the fruit do all the talking. Really? Let, let him be the standard. Have you ever like justified yourself by making sure you pick someone else that's way worse at something in like your job? Do I do it all the time? And the Lord's like, yeah, no, I didn't tell you to do that. Like I'm the standards, you know, I remember in the world I would do that because I was, I was raised in church, but I was really out there for a while, felonies and all this. And, and I would just justify by picking somebody really bad and think I was still okay. But yeah, I just want to pray here in a second corporately, Lord washes is beautiful. Listen to me. You don't need that junk anyway, whatever it is. That's just anymore. We want to be a vessel that's so pleasing to the Holy spirit. He's Holy in the slightest things anymore. It's like, Oh, I'm so sorry. Holy spirit washed me. I love Steve Hill. Uh, I was at the revival for years and in Brownsville, it was real simple. How do you know repentance? This is real simple. You don't need to come down here and beat your chest and mourn. And you can, if you want. I love that too. I don't really care, but I love it all. I'm whatever, but the word repentance literally means a part or area or motive of your heart, whatever it is, is going one way. And then you, you, you heed the Holy spirit. He's like, no, no, no, that doesn't please me. That's not my highest for you. So you stop and you start going the other way. It's real simple. And when we pray on areas and windows like this, especially when I saw it in a dream, listen, that was the inner workings of that temple getting ready for his glory to come. He, his bride prepares herself in revelation. There's so many, I won't bog you down with verses where it's, it's, it's our cop cooperation, sorry, of purity. Listen to, I'm not trying to negate the truths of it all being the Lord, but there's a cooperation. There's a yieldedness. There's a pliability of turning from things and, and, um, training in godliness and things like this. And, uh, but anyway, it's a simple turn and we'll pray here in a second. And listen to me, heaven will start rocking you here in a second, but also your dream life and, and just heaven is in my, have any, uh, partial deafness in the right ear. You can raise your hand. Oh, wow. Okay. Maybe we'll pray for you. My right ear just started kind of going up. Pray that you'd be healed in Jesus name. But, um, but yeah, purity. So clean hands, a pure heart. Just, just touch me, Lord. Listen to somebody, you may have to go home and clean house on things, cut things off. Um, that's okay. Like I was telling you guys earlier, this is not the time to really play games anymore. You know, it's kind of like, it kind of like, if you follow sports, it's been in regular season for the past decade. And now things just went to the playoffs. Like it really matters. Does that make sense? Some of you women, what would be a good female analogy? Um, you were cooking, you were baking, making the recipe, but now it's like ready to take out of the oven. I don't know. Your bread's ready. Um, it matters more. Yeah, that was pretty lame. Sorry. I just wanted to land with everybody. But yeah, it, uh, it matters more now. So we'll pray and then we'll get ready. I got the oil, but you guys get it. Just heaven moving and just turn us however you want to make us pliable and pure, pleasing to the Holy Spirit and, uh, have your way. Awesome. So if you guys want to stand, thank you, Jesus. You're amazing. Yeah, I played, I pray do it tonight. Manifest, show us your glory. That was another thing I saw on the plane. There was a huge Emerald, uh, something with this house and a massive Emerald that got unzipped from the high realm of heaven to be unlocked. So I don't know if you guys see gemstones or, or, um, or going to, or just what's that? No, no, it's not. Well, that makes sense. That's awesome. Wow. Come on, Jesus. No way. How, how, how is that, uh, like what, what's it connected to? The evergreens. Ah, wow. Come on, Jesus. Yeah. It was like, I want to see that, that green light that just turned on at me, but it was a massive Emerald. It got unzipped to just almost like a pinata bust, bust open in this house. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So come on Jesus. With me, normally green is, is not only new beginnings, but even financial increase and things like this, but, but you may start to see gemstones. Sorry if that offends some of you, but we see some wild stuff in meetings and, um, yeah, come on Lord. All right. Uh, let's pray. You want to just put your hand on your heart. I'll pray corporately. Sometimes that helps just corporately to say it out loud together. Jesus, we love you. Yeah, but show us your glory wreck in this place. Lord, I pray you smash people tonight. Come Holy spirit, do whatever you want to do. Show us your glory that we may know your ways. Yeah. So real quickly, just repeat after me. Say, wash me Lord Jesus, set me free. Help me turn from those things that don't please you. Make me clean, purify my heart, be glorified in and through my life. In Jesus name. Awesome. Now, before we pray, continue to focus on the Lord, but just touch the person next to you. You can even just put one finger on their shoulder or begin to release the spirit of God right now. Come Holy spirit. There it is. Come Holy spirit. The Bible says you have the kingdom of heaven within you. Just begin to release the river of God into your neighbor right now. There it is. Healing flow, joy, anointing flow in Jesus name.

Brian Guerin (birth year unknown–present). Brian Guerin is an American pastor, author, and founder of Bridal Glory International and Ascend Church in Atlanta, Georgia. Raised in a non-religious home, he became a Christian in college after a profound spiritual experience he described as a divine encounter with a falcon, which ignited his pursuit of intimacy with God. Guerin serves as the senior leader of Ascend Church, where his preaching emphasizes a deep relationship with Jesus, the power of God’s presence, and preparing believers for Christ’s return. He founded Ascend Academy, a ministry school, and travels globally, speaking at conferences and on platforms like TBN and GOD-TV, often highlighting signs, wonders, and prophetic insights. His books, including God of Wonders: Experiencing God’s Voice Through Signs, Wonders, and Miracles, To Know Him: Discovering Experiential Intimacy with God, The Altar: Preparing for the Return of Jesus Christ, and Divine Encounter, focus on spiritual growth and encountering God. Known for sermons like “Mary’s at His Feet” and “The Secret Place,” he encourages distraction-free prayer and devotion, drawing from Scriptures like Luke 10:41–42 and Matthew 6:6. Guerin’s ministry seeks to draw the Church into closeness with Christ, which he calls the “highest prize in life.” He said, “Your heart can burn, and you still not know Him.”
