In this sermon, the preacher shares stories of miraculous interventions by God in people's lives. He talks about a man who was able to rescue someone stuck in an elevator, and a woman who had been praying for time to see God and had a whole night to pray when the electricity went out. The preacher emphasizes the importance of finding rest in the Holy Ghost and not being provoked by evil doers. He also speaks about a new thing that God is going to do in the last days, where a fire of evangelization will spread and bring people back to God. The sermon concludes with a call for everyone to pray together for God to send fire and bring about this supernatural work.

Welcome, Zion, he welcomes me over death and darkness. I will praise you with all my strength. With my love, my presence and my goodness. I will praise you with all my strength. I will sing, you are my firm castle. When I am troubled, when sin overwhelms me, I will stand on your words. My heart has a song of love for you, my dear Lord. I am happy that you are my dear Lord, my precious Jesus. I am glad that you have called me too. I do not know greater joy than your love. You have come to my heart, Lord. Anticipating God doing something very fresh and new tonight. Okay, just take one more picture and that's going to be it during the preaching. I'll smile for you. No more pictures, please. Thank you. I want to bring a prophetic message to you this afternoon. Something the Holy Spirit has been speaking to my heart about. And what I'm telling you, I believe with everything in my body and soul. God is going to do a new thing. This is the name of my message. Now, you've heard of God doing new things. Every time there's a so-called revival somewhere, it's advertised as God's new thing. And it lasts for about four or five years and it dies. What I'm telling you this afternoon is not going to die. He's going to do exactly what He says He's going to do. It's not going to be in one location. It's going to be all over the world. And it's going to last until Jesus comes. I say it again, God is doing a new thing. Let's pray. Heavenly Father, I ask you to speak through the Holy Ghost, through my lips, the prophetic Word of God. We're not preaching about something that's not scriptural. We didn't dream this up. This comes from your Word. Lord, I'm one of your watchmen. Just one of many. But you do speak. And you're speaking to us today. There is a new work coming to this country. It's something God has in His heart. It's something He will do supernaturally. And we give you the power, the honor and the glory in Jesus' name, Amen. Please turn to Isaiah 43. 43, starting from verse 18 through 21. Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing. Now it shall spring forth. Shall you not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. The beast of the field shall honor me, the dragons in the isles, because I give water in the wilderness and rivers in the desert to give drink to my people, my chosen. These people have I formed for myself. They shall show forth my praise. I will do a new thing. God is going to be praised at the end of time. His praises are not going to dim or die. Praise is going to spring up from every nation. He begins by saying, all the things that you have heard that I have done, all of the things of old, now think of this, the miracle of the Red Sea, all the miracles of the Old Testament. God says, remember not all of these. He's not saying, don't think on these things, but in comparison to what I'm going to do, they are as nothing compared to what I have in mind. He said, don't consider the things of old right now. I am going to do a new thing. It is springing forth. And you will know it. And the Jeremiah the prophet said, these things will happen in the latter days. You will understand when they spring forth. God is going to rise up and defend His own name. Go to Isaiah 48. And here's the prophecy. Verse 11. One verse I want to read. For my own sake, even for my own sake will I do it? For how should my name be polluted? I will not give my glory to another. All the prophets talked about this new thing that God would do. And I call it a new thing because that's what the Bible calls it. And all the prophets saw what would happen in the last days. How the name of God would be so dishonored. His name would be so cast down in the mire, in the mud. And God says, there's a day I'm going to arise. There's a day when God's going to say, it's enough. My name has been mocked. My name has been ridiculed. And what He's going to do is not just an answer to prayer. We have been praying about God's rending the heavens and coming down for over a hundred years. We quote that scripture. If my people are called by my name, shall humble themselves and call on my name, I'll hear from heaven. No, those scriptures are true. And we need to continue to pray and fast. But we need to change the direction of our fasting and our prayers. God said, what I do, I'm doing it for my namesake. Not for your faithfulness. Not because you're fasting and praying. I want you to fast. I want you to pray. But I want you to pray within a new framework. I want you to pray according to my mind now. God said, for my namesake, I will arise and defend my honor. And I'm telling you, and I believe this with everything in my heart, He has already made a decision. He said, it's springing up. God said, I've been patient. But now I'm going to act. I am going to do this because of the honor of my own name. Every nation on earth has dishonored the name of Christ. When you speak of the name of God, you speak of the name of His own Son. In the United States, we're trying to push God's name out of our society. You can't name the name of God or Christ in our schools. A schoolteacher in my church had a Bible laying on her desk. And she was told she had to remove it or lose her job. You can lay a Koran on the desk. You can lay a pornographic magazine on your desk. But you can't put a Bible on your desk. We are pushing God out of our courts. We have already banned the name of God out of our schools. And the very year we did that, they murder in our schools. Kids were shooting other kids. And chaos came to our schools because God's name was defamed and mocked and ridiculed. Now we have a pledge to the flag, we call it. And they want to remove the name of God out of that. It's one nation under God. And now they say it's not under God. On our coins it says, in God we trust. And now they're trying to remove God's name from all the coins. And now two senators are introducing a new piece of legislation. It's just been announced. No one can be appointed to any court, no judge can be appointed in the United States if he believes in God. He has to be a totally faithless man. We have countries now who announce that they are atheistic. The United States of Europe is now forming. And when they were planning the Constitution for the United States of Europe, when they were planning the Constitution for the United States of Europe, everyone who's in the European Union will be finally joining the United States of Europe. And there was an argument in the framing of the Constitution. Where does God come in? They said there is no place for God in this Constitution. The new Constitution has outruled the very language of God. Your own country is becoming a godless nation. It's going to be politically incorrect to have anything to do with the name of God or Christ. I was in London and I spoke at a gathering in the Parliament invited by some of the MPs. And I spoke about, I warned about the exclusiveness of the name of Jesus and how every Christian in Parliament is going to be tested and they'll lose their position soon. They will not be invited in office because the very week I was there Tony Blair wanted his speech he just wanted to say thank God and his writers and his advisors refused. And here's what they said England is not into the God thing. How long do you think that God will endure? The mockery of his name there's a big argument in the United States right now to remove from every courthouse every plaque or every picture on the wall that has the Ten Commandments thousands of Christians are rising up and they can't seem to be able to stop it in Alabama for example there's a Christian judge and he erected in the courthouse out in front of his courthouse ten commandments in marble atheist groups came and said you have to remove it thousands of Christians gathered but they picked it up and took it in the back room and said it's against the law in any public or any government building to show the Ten Commandments and it's just the beginning folks the Antichrist kingdom is being set up right now in France those who are in the United Europe and I read this just a few weeks ago they said what we need now is the United States of Europe and we need a super president a man with international power power over every court of every nation with our own army so we can challenge any army on the face of the earth and the folks we're talking about setting up the Antichrist we're living in the very last of the last days and we can cry and we tremble sometimes and it looks like the devil's winning the battle the church seems so weak against it but if you think the devil's going to win if you think the devil's winning now you just wait God is going to rise up and he's going to protect his own name he's going to take authority he said beyond anything you know beyond anything you remember you've seen my power in the past you saw me rise up against Pharaoh I rose up against Nebuchadnezzar I rose up against Babylon and I'm going to rise up against every army every national president and every supreme court and I will take authority I will honor my own name and he's doing that even now Isaiah 42, verses 13-14 the Lord shall go forth as a mighty man he shall stir up jealousy like a man of war he shall cry and roar, he shall prevail against his enemies that's chapter 42 I have long time held my peace I've been still, I've refrained myself now will I cry like a travailing woman I will destroy and devour at once God said I've been very quiet I've been very patient I've been silent I have been waiting for the fruit I've been waiting for the last soul to be saved I have been patient while they have mocked my name they have refused the name of my son but the day has now come I am going to stir up my wrath I have long time held my peace I've refrained myself but now I am in pain like a travailing woman and I've come to destroy and devour those who think that they are going to bring in power Islam those who want to erase the name of God just wait the iron curtain came down the bamboo curtain came down and now in Russia just two weeks ago God rose up while in the United States we are aborting five million babies a year the Russian government has taken a stand against abortion in the last four months I can't speak Jesus in any school in the United States but our people can go all over Russia invited into the schools and into the army do you remember the days when they mocked God in Russia and they said they are going to wall God outside the walls did you see how God rose up and He brought down the walls do you remember how He brought it down in this nation do you remember that in China they were going to push God out of their nation and while they were boasting that they were Godless nation Church of Jesus Christ was growing like wildfire ten million Christians being saved now every year God rising up no one is going to stop God from honoring His name David asked the question how long oh God how long shall the wicked triumph how long shall they speak these hard things how long shall the workers of iniquity boast oh God they are breaking your heart of your people to pieces oh God they are destroying your heritage in other words what David is saying when we hear about your name the cursing and the mockery they are cutting our hearts to pieces God what will you do will you not hear from heaven they are tearing our hearts folks doesn't it break your heart isn't there something stirring in you when you see the wicked prevailing when you walk the streets of New York City every year in this past year especially homosexual parade down 5th Avenue 500,000 homosexuals many of them totally nude waving signs Jesus is gay is homosexual and seats a little Christian group here saying Jesus loves homosexuals just repent Jesus loves you and I watched they jumped out of the crowd pushed them aside tore up their signs cursing the name of Christ walking into St. Peter's Cathedral on 5th Avenue cursing and making a scene chaining themselves to the seats cursing the bishop and the archbishop mocking Christ and something happens inside and here is what God answered David he said David I made the ear do you think I don't hear I made the eye do you not know that I see he that chases the heathen shall he not correct he who teaches knowledge I taught knowledge I gave knowledge to man do you think I don't know they did set their mouth against the heaven and their tongue is earth and the nations are saying does God know about this and God has a dream when one dreams oh Lord you shall awake and you shall despise their image and you will bring it all to desolation God said to David don't worry, don't fret don't be afraid because I have everything under control I who made the eye I see it, I made the ear, I hear it and one day I will rise and I will defend the power of my own name let me show you what I believe this new thing God is going to do basically it starts with this in the last days when everything is spinning out of control Jesus said men's hearts are going to fail them for fear watching the things coming on the earth folks it's been two years since 9-11 in New York and the United States is living under nervous tension constantly and now they tell us it's possible that men are going to come into the country with shoulder fired missiles from the shoulder missiles that are shot from the heat sensor missiles rockets from the shoulder suitcase bombs we've had Afghanistan we've had Iraq we've had 9-11 we've had tornadoes, we've had floods economic confusion you go to a restaurant and you listen to people talk and they say what's happening what's next everybody's nervous, everybody's wondering where does it happen next you don't know what it's like to live under that now maybe if you lived years ago here in this country you knew something of that but to live in New York City and to hear it every day before you go into the tunnels under the river to get into Manhattan I go through there every time I go and you say is this the day they blow up this tunnel everybody who lives in the tall buildings is this building going to be next and it hangs over the head and Jesus warned that times will become so bad that men's hearts will fail, they'll be having heart attacks just thinking of what's about to happen do you understand that 9-11 was allowed by God to wake up a vaccinated nation that's turned God away from its borders God didn't do it but he permitted it God could have stopped it at any moment but God was trying to wake up this country and I listened to a news reporter one of the top commentators a television commentator one hour it was right as the buildings were burning in Washington the Pentagon in fire he said can you believe it and he didn't know he was quoting from the 18th chapter of Revelation oh Babylon in one hour your destruction is come they shall be out in the sea and weeping over the fire that they see this is what he said he said who could ever believe that in one hour the two symbols of our power the most powerful nation on earth the symbol of our wealth and the symbol of our power the Pentagon and Wall Street I'm down in one hour and they showed the picture in the harbor all the boats that's not the only definition that's not the only thing that Revelation 18 is speaking about and New York is not the only Babylon but all how the Bible came to life and now we've come to that time when people are fearful and they're afraid but God said in the last day I'm going to rise up and here's the new thing I believe he's going to do he's going to bring a holy remnant those who truly love Jesus and he's going to bring them into his rest now the Bible said there was a rest it was offered to Israel that rest is a completeness it's a place where you live without fear live or die I am the Lord live or die I belong to the Lord the rest that he offered was just to believe in the promises of God I will protect you I will keep you I will never fail you that's the rest that he offered they refused that rest it was offered to the age of the prophets it was offered to the dispensation of the kings they all refused it and they didn't enter into the rest they lived nervous lives they lived in fear no faith, no promises of God but God said before Jesus comes Jesus asked the question when I come back, will I find faith on the earth? he did not say that he simply asked a question will I find faith? I tell you he will find faith he's going to have a holy remnant that he brings into his rest this has to do with the cross this rest has to believe in righteousness by faith that's the truest meaning of rest I am forgiven by the blood I rest in the work of Calvary but there are expressions of that rest there are human expressions of that rest that rest, and I want to show it to you now has to do with having no more fear this is a very practical thing the Lord said, be fearful lest a promise left to us of entering his rest any of you should come short of it fear lest a promise left to us to enter into that rest I want you to go to Isaiah 51 please Isaiah 51 let me hear the rustling of the leaves let me hear the rustling of the leaves are you turning there? Isaiah 51 verses 12 and 13 I, even I am he that comforts you who are dull that you should be afraid of a man that shall die and of the son of man that shall be made as grass and you forget the Lord your maker that has stretched forth the heavens and laid the foundations of the earth you fear continually every day because of the fury of the oppressor as if he were ready to destroy and you forget the Lord your maker that has stretched forth the heavens and laid the foundations of the earth and you fear continually every day because of the fury of the oppressor as if he were ready to destroy look this way please God says, why are you afraid? I created this earth I'm the maker that stretched forth the heavens why are you afraid of this that's happening today? now listen closely to what I'm about to say the greatest testimony in New York City is not great preachers it's not great buildings and churches the greatest testimony in New York City is a lover of Jesus a man or woman of God a teenager who's not afraid who walks the streets without fear and have a smile on their face who can lay down at night not afraid they're not afraid of a bomb they're not afraid of anything that comes because God has brought them into a rest he's going to do that supernaturally he's doing it in Times Square Church he's doing it in other churches in New York City he's doing it in other churches around the world people are not afraid we had a blackout in New York just a few weeks ago all the electricity shut down the whole east coast was black there was a lady in our church stuck in an elevator one of the tall buildings and she had her daughter with her and there was another woman in the elevator the other woman wasn't a Christian she panicked she was crying, what are we going to do? she was about to lose it and this dear sister from our church just worshiping the Lord just as quiet as she could be the rest that I talk about had come upon her a man was walking by on the street and a thought came to his mind that has an elevator maybe somebody's stuck in an elevator and he walked into the building and he saw that it was stuck between two floors and he was able to get somebody and bring the elevator down and our sister walked right out the door God sent a man right off the street we had another lady in the church she had two jobs to support her little girl and for three months she'd been praying oh God, please give me some time to seek you give me four or five hours only just to pray and worship I've been so busy that was four o'clock at five o'clock all the lights went out all the power shut down she had all night with Jesus praise of the Lord that's the rest of the Holy Ghost that's the rest that God promised the Lord said to her and in the original it reads like this don't let them provoke you don't let it get into your spirit let me illustrate years ago, about twenty years ago a new musical show came to Broadway in New York City it was called Jesus Christ Superstar and all the newspapers were advertising this new big hit on Broadway I was a much younger preacher and I saw the picture all of these long haired hippie types mocking Jesus and I get up in the pulpits in my crusades I said, look what's happening how they're mocking the name of my Christ and there was an anger in me and I have to tell you, it bothered me Christians all over, how terrible that God's name be mocked and the man who was playing Christ was a drug addict and in the picture it shows Jesus coming down on a wire, right hanging almost naked over the crown his arm stretched out and he was so stoned he didn't know what he was doing hardly he was so high and they said it's in one of the most beautiful theaters in New York and I got angry for nothing I wasted my anger because God said 20 years ago because you mock my name here I'm going to turn it into a church that theater is now Times Square Church the actor who played Jesus got saved and he dedicated the building to Jesus when we had our dedication he came in the building and he looked around he said, this is beautiful I said, you were here for years mocking Jesus he said, I was so high on drugs I never saw the building he said, can I go back to my dressing room I said, well that's the pastor's study now I said, come on and we went in he said, let me tell you why I want to see this this is why I used to worship the devil I would seal the windows and light a thousand candles and wait for the devil to come and blow them all out at once and it happened once and it scared me and I ran out he said, we used to fornicate up and down these halls I said, we've cast all those devils out there are no devils here now and he got up to praise the Lord where he once mocked Jesus don't tell me the devil's in control no, no, no, God says I will honor my name I will rise up and honor my name glory be to God don't let it get in your spirit don't fret say it to yourself God has everything under control I want you to say it God has everything under control God has everything under control say it again God has everything under control let me tell you what the devil believes we have a song we sing in America I don't know if you know that song or not it's called when the saints go marching in have you ever heard that song? in English we know that the devil has the idea that when Jesus does come the saints of God are going to barely get in they're going to come limping in to the kingdom beaten down and discouraged broken, crippled just barely getting in that's not what my Bible says the Bible says we're going to be more than overcomers we're going to come dancing into the kingdom we're going to come rejoicing we're going to come shouting Jesus is Lord of all he is king of all nations every knee is bowing every tongue is confessing because God rose up and he protected his name and he gave victory to his people we are more than conquerors God's going to let your country know it there's not a politician in your country big enough to keep God down your churches are not going to die your churches are going to grow God has young men and women here that are going to bring the house of God to glory I wish you would get excited as I am about your country there's a dancing and leaping in my heart because God is doing a new thing in this nation your young people are going to turn to Jesus hundreds and hundreds of young people are going to come to Christ and you're not going to need somebody to tell you how to do it because you have praying men who are going to trust in God and not in methods you're not going to need an American to tell you what to do you're going to get all your directions from your communion with Jesus he's going to tell you how to reach this nation and young men are going to rise up with fresh ideas they didn't get from a book, they got it on their knees and God's going to break the power of the enemy and there is going to be a moving of the Holy Spirit in this republic glory be to God I believe with all my heart I want you to stand up, raise your hands and say dear God, you're going to rise up you're going to honor your name in our country honor your name Jesus we thank you Lord we believe you Lord we thank you for your Spirit pour out your Spirit oh God glory be to Jesus folks it's time to rejoice it's time to rejoice in the Lord hallelujah hallelujah glory be to Jesus praise the name of the Lord he shall rise up and defend his own name for my own name's sake he said not for your sake but for my sake not just because you're faithful but because I'm faithful I believe that with everything I say and with everything I believe in my heart glory be to Jesus not only in Bratislava but all over this country I see people coming to Christ glory to God and I see young men, young women going as missionaries going to other countries the church of Jesus Christ in this nation is going to become a missionary church beyond anything that's ever known I believe this prophecy I believe it in all my heart here's what I see it's like a fire, it's just burning embers they're red hot coals and they've been cooling down but today, in this past week even in the past few months the breath of God has been breathing on those coals he's breathing and the coals are getting hotter and one day soon the flames are going to start firing up and there's going to be a fire and that fire's going to spread and that fire's in the hearts of priests that are in this building young men, young women, middle-aged and ancient men like me the fire's going to burn the fire of Christ's love true evangelism that comes out of a relationship with Jesus ask God to let the fire burn ask God to let the fire burn in this country in every church glory be to Jesus I want you to do one thing in closing I want you to get a little circle, four or five people turn around, get in a circle and I want everybody to pray together send fire send a new fire on this nation, and all our churches and all our families, and all our ministries I want everybody to pray and I want you to lift your voice for the next ten minutes, God send fire we believe you for it bring this prophecy to pass and rise up, oh God, and do it now hallelujah, the Holy Ghost is here and he wants to answer this prayer let's cry out to heaven oh God, honor your name in this nation bring us back to God bring us back to yourself the greatest work you've ever done thank you Jesus my precious Jesus I am glad that you invited me as well I don't know a greater joy than your command stay with me I have a sin, my heart has a song I have a sin, my heart has a song
