Brian Guerin emphasizes the need for the church to become a purified bride, calling for deep intimacy with God and a commitment to holiness. He highlights the urgency of preparing for Jesus' return, urging believers to come out from worldly influences and embrace a life of purity and power through the Holy Spirit. Guerin shares testimonies of miraculous encounters and the importance of being filled with the Holy Spirit, encouraging the congregation to raise their expectancy for divine encounters and transformation. He draws parallels between the ministry of John the Baptist and the current call for believers to live set apart lives, emphasizing that true revival comes from a heart aligned with God's will.

Wow, thank you Jesus. I've got a big space to work with. I've got to put stuff all over the place. Was this the one? No, this wasn't the one from last time, I don't think. Oh wow, I don't remember all this space. Wow, praise God. How's everybody doing? Doing good? Yeah, you can crank the lights up or whatever y'all want, it doesn't matter. Let me get situated. Yeah, wow. So how many of you are from here? From this house? Okay, wow, good bit of you. Praise God. And then how many of you are out of state? Whoa, where from? You can yell it out. Georgia, Atlanta. Eddie, what's up, my man? You're looking sharp, buddy. Got the fresh fade. Where else? Georgia, Atlanta, same place? Nashville. How many of you were here last night? Okay, cool, so we kind of hopped up. Yeah, we're not too far. Well, wow, excited to be here. We'll just jump in and just first off want to honor you, bro. Blake, love you, man. You know that. And I honor you to no end. So it's been three years now then. I didn't remember. I know it's been a minute since I've been up here. Always a great honor to be with you, dude. It's wild. I'll be traveling, whatever, and you more than anybody pop up. You know that. I text you, man. Random, out of nowhere. It's just Blake, brother. And before I get started, I just want to honor you. And like you know this, of course, but I think there's something to a public honor and just who you are in him. And bro, I was just even thinking sitting there like the well. And this is a precious place. It really, really is, man. It's got a tangible kiss of heaven upon it. It's a man of integrity, honor, loyalty, man. Deep in the word, but also of the spirit. But I was thinking you in and of yourself, you are a well, man. You know that. There's a depth in you, bro. I'm telling you, I don't. You can, you know, ask people close to me or my family. I've traveled all over. And I don't just sit there and just text pastors. And I'll be kind of all over. I'm like, man, Blake comes back, man. I'll text you. And, you know, I'm just loving on you and seeing what's up. But it's just rare I don't do that. And you're just special to me. I love you, honor you big time. I don't know who you are in the Lord. And just want to build your faith. I feel like something's going to hit tonight. Is that okay? Yeah. Okay. Because when you collide certain anointings and depths in here, that's just a dangerous spot in a good way. And Blake's that person, this house, Craig as well. I know he wasn't able to be here. And the whole crew, just love and honor you guys. But last time we texted, you had sensed it. Next time we joined up together, there would be something special. It's 8-8. Not to get too spiritual, but kind of also to get spiritual. There's a new beginning shift. And I just here in a minute already got his approval, if that's okay. Maybe clear off some chairs or not, whatever works. And let the Holy Spirit rush through this place. Is that okay? And, man, we've been seeing him move powerfully. And I'm super excited. The Holy Ghost isn't too worried about whatever you want to hear out that's going on in the world. He dominates the world. He's full of all life and power, freedom, liberation. And so we've been running pretty hard since, I don't know, a minute now, almost every weekend. And I'm seeing a different level of hunger and then potency being matched by the Spirit. It's different. I'm telling you, you can feel it. And I want to raise your expectancy. I'm going to be laying hands on each and everybody and get a hold of, if you want it. If not, just give me the whole, if you're worried about all the COVID, I get it. I don't blame you. But also, you know, just the Bible is the Bible. And, man, I'm telling you, I just really feel like the Holy Spirit is going to hit in this place. Heal bodies, miracles, divine encounters, dreams, visions. Break fear off. Fear is nowhere in the kingdom. And Holy Spirit's not a big fan of it. And it's okay. He loves you where you're at, but also he loves to obliterate it. And so anyway, but anyway, we were last night in a meeting, not too far, just to build faith and expectancy. Holy Spirit moved powerfully. A Methodist church, of all things, just rocking. Miracles, yeah, the Lord's moving. And there was, I found out after, the Lord always tricks me. I didn't know it, but I was speaking, sorry, on a specific word, with the burning bush and this whole thing. And transitioning over to Joshua, well, these burning smells got picked up all throughout the meeting. In the meeting, y'all smelled it? So nobody told me. I'm sitting there preaching. I finally talked to the pastor after. And it was different scents to different people. Literally, the pastor's wife told me, she goes, I literally, she was like, I kid you not, in my mind, she was like, I know we have a lot of people that persecute us, but she thought the building was on fire. And she goes, wait, no, no, no, it can't be. And then her son thought the microphone was burning something electronically. The head pastor thought it was burning, like, leaves at first, and it changed to incense, and there was a burning manifestation, like, in the meeting. And the last time I could remember, that was up in Whitefish, Montana. I was ministering up there. And we can go for it. I know you don't care, but wonders. And it's kind of wide open here. And if you're not open to it, it's your heart. Like you said, I'm decent, man. I'm taking that one, dude. That's glorious, man. I've never heard that one before, man. That was good. But, yeah, I was up in Whitefish, Montana, preparing for the meeting. And, man, all of a sudden, I know this is iffy for some people, we've just seen enough of it that it was authentic, backed by his word, where God moved. And I'm sitting there at the pastor's house, going to be preaching that night. And a white feather just appeared out of midair. You know, just take it up with heaven on some of this stuff. Right in front of me, Whitefish, Montana, right up by the border of Canada. And it appeared by my stomach, right in front of my stomach, just bam. And all of a sudden, it's in a room, in his house. It starts floating upwards right in front of my eyes. I'm like, that ain't gravity. That don't work like that. I'm not a scholar of any means on all this, but I knew something. So I checked the time. It was 8.03 in the morning. And the Lord spoke to me clearly. It was Revelation 8.3, where it says, the prayers of the saints go up like incense. So that night, we go in to preach, totally forgot about the wonder. And sure enough, all these people, but he always doesn't let me, I guess I would get distracted while I'm trying to preach. But all these people afterwards started saying, man, did you smell the incense, the burning? It was manifesting in the meeting, wonders like this. And I just really think the Lord's trying to break in in a fresh way and touching deep hunger. And he's on the move, man. It's crazy. I've been smashing the Brownsville stuff again. It's wild. It's been messing me up. It snuck in on us in a meeting recently. And I was just weeping. And I just sense there's an awakening and revival to this crazy mix about to hit the globe. And you want to be on the right side right now. So I'm super excited. But I want to honor you. If you don't want the laying on of hands, no worries. We'll pray corporately too before. And feel free to leave whenever you need to. But I do want to lay hands on people. Just want to break fear off. If I breathe on you, all the things you've got to worry about is getting the Holy Ghost and fire. And that's not an arrogant statement. It's just we're filled with the kingdom of heaven. The Bible's very real. It says we'll tread on scorpions. Man, I've just been feeling this new tenacious. Like, man, go for the word, man. Old school. Where are the Holy Ghost filled? Fasting, prayer, powerhouse, Bible believing. You know what I mean? I'm just stirred, man, recently. John Z. Lake, some of these gunners. Let me, because I'm going to get going. I want to honor my children, my man here, Jason. You want to stand up? Zoe, can we give her a hand? Zoe Lake. Yep. Isn't she beautiful? Zoe Lake. We named her after John Z. Lake, her middle name. And, man, they're getting big, huh? Blake, you ain't seen them in a minute. Yeah. Judah, you want to stand up? He looks like a gorilla now. He's 17. My buddy Jason Burns, if you don't mind standing. Dear friend. We've been all over the globe. He used to run with Lifestyle and Todd White a good bit. And we met back then and just kind of never stopped. We're all over the globe. But super proud of them. Hopefully they'll jump in with us if that's okay and just go for it and lay hands. And we'll just let the spirit move. Is that cool? But I've been sensing, man. There was, you know, John Z. Lake. This man was in the era of plagues and serious stuff. You know what I mean? Not to negate or minimize COVID at all. I've heard a mixed bag on all of it. And I get it. I'm not trying to illegitimize any of it. But also, I just want to remind us, the Bible is the Bible. That's what I love that Pastor Blake said that. I know how he believes. We're from the same thread. You heard him. He says, look, that which comes at you is not victorious. We have the kingdom. But John Z. Lake, they said he would get up, stare in the mirror, and say, God lives in that man. They said he had such a reality that God lived in him. And he walked in such authority and power. There's a plague of their day taking out this whole masses of people. A lot of you know the story. But he had them check it first, the plague, under a telescope. And it was alive, this deathly plague. And he says, all right, now put it in my hand and check it again. And this plague died on the spot in the palm of his hand. Because it was filled with the life of Jesus Christ and the power of God. This is what you and I carry. The kingdom of heaven is within us. What goes worse? Just some of these old school. I just really sense, listen to me, I remember years ago when I was locked up in prayer, I was just loving Jesus, which is still all I really do today, which is the highest prize in life. And we'll go there in a second. But I got taken into a vision. I'll never forget. And it's all just starting to stir back up to me of what I think we're on the brink of. And I got taken into a vision of a generation ago. They called it the Lateran Movement, Branham, Jack Coe, A.A. Allen. Do you guys know of some of these people that were gunners? I mean, Jack Coe, they said literally they would have a whole wheelchair section and line them up. And he would just run down the line, pick them up, and people hopping out of wheelchairs. There's a video they have on YouTube you can find it. There was a cancer on the person's skin, just pulls it off in the name of Jesus. Brand new skin. Cross-eyed lady. This is one of my favorites. Bold as a lion. They check the camera. She's just boom, full-out cross-eyed. And lays hands on her in the camera. Jesus' name. Pulls his hands off, and they're straight again. Full-out bonafide miracles. A.A. Allen, this young boy, it was the greatest recorded miracles in one instance. I think in our last generation. 27 miracles or something like that. Full-blown. Broken body, couldn't eat, bones, all this stuff. Oh, no way. You're kidding me. Was it really? That's crazy. Like a tent revival or something? Wow. He said it happened in Birmingham. But A.A. Allen. So anyway, I got taken to the division from that day. It was even in black and white how things were recorded from that era. And I saw them running, sprinting, you know, with great just tenacious, like this crowd running from that day into ours to see what we were moving in. And I'm telling you, there's like, and it's noted. If you do recorded history within the church a generation ago, nothing's matched it since. There's been some power, some spurts. But it was across the board, tent revivals. And then you had Kathryn Kuhlman and such follow. But I just want to raise your expectancy. God's on the move. And he's just moving powerfully. But right now we need people that are really hungry and all in. I mean, really, now's not the time. I love that he said that God's been working on his heart and mine as well. And he's cleaning up the garden. And he's just going deep right now. So who's not born again up in here? I just want to get down to it. How many of you are born again? All right. Just about to corner somebody that's not. But no. But more importantly, I just want to know. You may be like, what is he talking about? All in. And cancer is all faces and cross eyes. But if you need the Lord, you stumble up in here. Just want to pray with you again and the Lord touch you. So I had an instance, a thing happened this morning that shows me where to go tonight. A specific word. I want to kind of go there, see where the Lord leads. And then leave room for a prayer. And we'll just let the Holy Spirit move. Is that cool? Awesome. Well, so this morning, get my Bible going here. What time we watching? We kind of whatever. All right. Dude, where's Redneck Prophet? He still around? He's good? Okay, that's all good. No, no, it's all good. He's like. So this morning, how many of you understand the prophetic, how it works in mysterious ways and the Lord speaks? And okay, so I don't need to really teach you on it. But so this morning, 535 a.m., I'm back in some other town here in Alabama. And I heard my phone text go off just as audible as you hear me now. Except my phone was on silent. This will happen. Some things, it's ears to hear what the Spirit's doing. So I checked the time. I thought, really, somebody texted me 535 a.m. But nobody texted me. It was audible wonder. Like you'll hear things how the Lord will speak. And just in the prophetic, he does this often. It's beautiful. And it was a ding. I've got mine set on that one. If someone wants to text me right now to hear it or whatever, it's on silent. And 535 a.m. is when it happened. I begin to search and the Lord showed me. This is John chapter 5 verse 35. You don't need to turn there. I'm not going to keep you guys too long. But it's the burning message of John the Baptist. And I'm going to just hit it in a broad stroke tonight. But also, it's a now where the Lord's in. I'm telling you to prepare Jesus to come powerfully. And watch this. And I got afterwards why he made it come through the sound of a text message. One verse, it says, John was like a burning and shining lamp. And you were excited for a while about his message. And that's why it came in the form of a text message. But it was this window of John's message preparing Jesus to come. And so then I want to jump back to Matthew 5. I'm going to read a good little bit, if that's okay. I don't normally do this. But I just want to obey what the Lord's doing. Matthew 3. And again, you don't have to turn there. Because you know what? Anymore. I mean, you always want to be this way, minister. But I just want to do what the Lord's doing. You know what I'm saying? Otherwise, what are we doing? Don't get me wrong. I'm for preaching the word. It doesn't return void. We do that. But also, I just want to hear what he's saying in a line with it. Because that's where it's most fruitful. There's been plenty of times where I got out of a line because I thought something was more brilliant. He was like, yeah, that's great. Good job. Spirit lifted quicker than he came. Howard, what's up, buddy? Most beautiful daughter on the globe. Are y'all far from here? Huntsville. Is that far from here? An hour. Man, that's a powerful man I've got right there. We follow each other on Instagram. Yeah, y'all got to connect for sure. You got to connect with Pastor Matt, too. He's in wherever town we were just in. Yep. Moody. But I was telling him all about y'all, man. Y'all would love each other. Yeah, but y'all got to follow Pastor Howard, man. Plays the keys and straight glory. But anyway, I just want to align with him. That's really all I'm interested in anymore, man, because I just want him pleased at the end of the day. And he gets glory, and it's good. But this message I knew he's wanting this John the Baptist message. I know it's on this house already. Pastor Blake walks in this. It's who they are. But for many of you coming in, and I just know it's on the now heartbeat of God, preparing for Jesus' final return. Listen, how many of you know, it don't take a rocket scientist to see we're in the last hour. I've been doing just, I'm fun, I'm probing, but it's calculated. I've been checking in every stream I'm at, everywhere I go. It doesn't matter. People know we're in the last hour. There could still be a ways out, but you can tell things amped up recently. One of the things I saw recently in prayer was the Lord turn the watch in the heavens and speed things up. And it stirred up right after I could see the dark realm start to be unloosed. How many of you know the enemy can't do anything without the Lord allowing it? Not that he's ordaining what's going on, but he'll sure use it to culminate things quicker to the Lord's return and his victory. But anyway, I want to read quick John the Baptist, and then we'll make time for prayer. Because it's his message. It's what he's about. And I just want to pull out a few nuggets and pray. But watch this. In those days, John the Baptist came to the Judean wilderness and began preaching. I want to just stop right there. Listen to this. Because right when I heard the message of John the Baptist that the Lord's on it, and I've been seeing it, he's hitting it from all kind of different angles. But basically the gist of it, I'll just tell it straight to you, he's really after purifying his bride right now. He's on it, man. I'm telling you. Because there's all kind of offshoots of the word, God, the kingdom, angelic wonder. I love it all. I'm all in. But right now you can see the Lord's laser focused on the purity of his bride. Deep, deep intimacy like I've never seen. He's hammering this. From Revelation, I'm seeing it come through my children and how he's speaking to them. And the tone of his voice is changing a little bit. It's getting a little more stern. I'm just being honest with you guys. The Bible says, Behold the kindness and severity of God. Ty, what is up? How are you? My fellow Saints fan. Yeah. I don't know if they're going to do the NFL. No fans? They're going to do the screens or whatever? Anyway, that's crazy. That's wild. But anyway, he's really in a laser focused way calling his bride to deep, deep purity in a very loving way. God's so loving. His loving kindness leads to repentance. And we'll pray here corporately in a second. He's not condemning at all. He's just wooing her in a beautiful way. He's giddy almost about his bride coming up to a high, pure place. And he's getting down into the fine things of the heart. A lot of us, I've been famous for this in the past, where you justify the broad things or you compare yourself to others. Have you ever done that? Like, no, I'm good. So and so is like way off, you know. I'm holy as all get out next to them. And I used to do that in the world, man. Man, when Blake went into those old ones, dude, I was gone, bro. I love that about you, dude, what you carry and walk in. I saw you recently on Facebook with the grass cutting thing, dude. That blessed me so much. Man, I would have done exactly that. He got a new rod lawnmower, and I was able to catch this one. And he's showing his beautiful cut of the yard. And he goes, and then he flips the camera around, and he just cut a big trench out of the yard. Did you adjust it? Yeah. That would have blessed me, man. That's something I would have done. But I was reminded, man, in them old days, coming back to the heart of worship. I was just born again when a lot of those were out, coming out. I got born at the age of 20, 98, September. And I was living in a condo with my brother. We were both lost as can be. I was way worse, actually. He was in the world, but he was a little more calculated. Businessman, had it together with club and all this, but just had enough safety with it. And I was just kind of all in. I just didn't have any boundaries. And it got bad to where I found out later he actually called my parents because we were living together. He says, look, I'm worried about Brian. He's out there. He was getting felonies. It was getting wild. But the problem was I got born again shortly after, and we still lived in the same condo. And he's in the world now. And I'm like, it was talk about a house divided. And I'm in there, shut up. He's like, shut up. I'm like, Jesus, you're everything. Whatever. Turn your music off. It was like back and forth. I'm like, you need to repent. Get born again. You don't understand. Jesus is everything. And so I'd be in there worshiping, just weeping. Man, I met Jesus. And I'd be like, I'm coming back to the heart of worship. I'm like, I never had the heart of worship, but I'm coming back anyway. I don't know. It's all brand new. And I could sing of your love forever. I wasn't messing up. You brought me back there, man, hours. I sat on my knees like a little kid, man. And it was beautiful. But I'm seeing now more than ever. But I remember in the world I would do that. Even in the world, because I grew up in church, so I had a bit of an understanding. I was just lost. I wasn't born again. And even in the world, you think, well, I'm good. Because you would think of somebody else in a worse sin, and that's what you do. But in this hour, I'm noticing the Lord in an ever so merciful way, super kind and gracious and loving. He's wooing his bride, though, to a high, high place of purity. The teeth on the comb have gotten real tight that he's brushing through the bride right now. And he's pulling out the smallest of foxes, the intents of the heart, where we are showing our attention to other lovers. I'm telling you, he's starting to just cut the fat out. And I want to encourage us all, myself included, that we really get on that current right now because it's picking up. And there's doorways we can blow through right now. I heard something yesterday about he's testing the jars of clay from 2 Corinthians 4, 7. He said, well, the Lord doesn't test. He doesn't in the form of temptation of sin, but he'll test you in a heartbeat. That's what he did with Abraham and Isaac. He let them go all the way up to the – I went to a vision once, and I saw that. I saw his hand in there shaking before he was about to come down. And he'll test you only to call you higher and have you graduate through new doorways. And it's here right now. I'm telling you, we're in it. This is not the time to be playing games, not from a heavy thing, but an exciting, graduating-type thing. I've recently been liking it to, you know, like a regular season as far as sports. And then now it's getting into the playoffs and then the finals. It's getting a little more – it counts more. Are you guys tracking with me? In the realm of the Spirit, it counts more. So what worked in the past season is not working right now. And you can tell he's really going after small details, clean hands, a pure heart. And that's what John the Baptist did. So watch this. Right out of the gate, verse 1. In those days, John the Baptist came to the Judean wilderness and began preaching, meaning he was in the current society, but he left it. Listen, you better pay attention to who was the exact and precise calculated model to forerun Jesus' coming. And the Bible is crystal clear. That same Spirit that was on him is coming again before the Lord returns. And that's what he's – he's back. And it's going to ever increase until he comes, until he pops on the scene in Revelation. The two witnesses, Elijah is one of them. And he's back right before the Lord's return. And the Spirit of Elijah that was on John the Baptist, he's got this bent on him. And he's about purity and refining for the Lord to come. So he leaves. Let's call this pulpit the city. He leaves it, meaning come out from. There's a coming out from right now. He goes out of the way to go to the wilderness and preach from there. You know, this is what he preached. Isaiah prophesied it. He's a voice shouting in the wilderness. So he came out of the world. And I see the Lord doing this right now. He's pulling us out or the world out of us, whatever it is. But how many of you know sometimes there's a yielding and a cooperating in that? You know, I've heard this other side to preaching, which has some validity by the word. But when you solely lean that way alone, it gets imbalanced. But where the Lord will do it, I have the righteousness in Christ, and you do. But also the Bible says the bride prepares herself and makes herself ready. Hebrews says we, you and I are to throw off those sins that so easily entangle. Paul, I love this one, like the second Timothy chapter two. He's writing to Timothy. He says, look, partner, you want to be a special utensil? You want to be used greatly in this hour? And this is one we're in, I'm telling you. Timothy's crazy in the words that flow with the last times of people swaying away from the true faith in the word. We really need to dig deep in the word right now. We're going to fall madly in love with the Bible again. But he says basically there's sporks. This is how I teach it in the second Timothy. Special utensils are silver and gold, forks and knives for special occasions. You can check it later. And then there's sporks, like cheesy ones that you can just use for the trash and for like Taco Bell or something. Anyway, he says, look, if you want to be a special utensil, he writes this to Timothy. There's only one prerequisite. He says, if you keep yourself clean. Keep yourself pure. He didn't say study more, get more gifted, connect more, build whatever. No, keep yourself clean and pure. And you'll be one of the gold or silver utensils used in this hour. There's purity. But keep yourself. So the Lord does it. We know we can't access it by, you know, without his grace. But there's a cooperation. Does that make sense to you guys? I could just hammer this for a while. I won't stay there too long. But there's a purity and an aligning. And I believe even as I continue to speak, we read through the word, the Holy Spirit's going to begin to thump things and knock on your heart. And you can feel it. And to me, it's beautiful because it's like that narrow path is even getting more narrow. That highway of holiness is coming to a higher place where those things in the past won't go there. But watch this. Voice shouting in the wilderness, meaning he came out. Clear the road for him, Jesus. John's clothes were woven from coarse camel hair. He wore a leather belt, dressed just like Elijah. It's super crazy if you check it in Kings. They wore the same thing. He so had the spirit of Elijah on him that they wore the same thing. It's wild. He ate locusts in wild honey. The gist of this verse is the Bible is like, why are you going out of your way to say what he's wearing and what he's eating? The Bible never does that really, hardly ever. But it goes out of its way with Elijah to say what he's wearing and John the Baptist too. And there's obviously a deep connection of the spirit upon them. But you basically see there's nothing of this society, nothing of this world that has them. Camel's hair, a belt. He left the world. He's in the wilderness. You had to come out. You'll see in a second. You had to come all the way out to the wilderness just to hear him. He went to the hard place to preach. And they came by the droves. He had a revival on him. He was burning. When the spirit of God really rests upon people, you can be wherever. I've seen it. The Brownsville Revival, we were there. And it was off in the hood, horrible area. And it was beautiful. It was like a pocket of heaven. You didn't want to be anywhere else. So I want to encourage you guys. I sense the spirit of God just coming upon these forerunners in this hour. And they're going to be so set apart and out of the world. And heaven's going to be on them so strong. You don't need to be in the convenient areas or have the platform or the social media, this, that, and the other. People are going to come because the spirit of God's there. But basically, dressed however not in the current fad of the day, society didn't have a hold or a hook in them. Ate whatever, supernatural provision. It says the Pharisees, Sadducees came to watch. The religious always come to watch what he's doing. And he rebukes them. We all know the passage. I'll fast forward. He says this, even now the axe of God's judgment is poised, ready to serve, sever, sorry, the roots of the trees. And I want to share recently, I'll get light again. I can feel it. I'm not going to get too heavy with you guys. Is that okay? But we've got to release the word of the Lord. I love it all, man. I don't care however he wants to talk and whatever he wants to say because it's through him is life and power. The Holy Spirit is going to hit here in a second too. I know many of you are going to get filled. I had a power nap dream today. Once we got in town and somebody was hammered, I could see him in the dream. So I know drunkenness is going to hit and it's going to be beautiful. But also we need to obey the Lord. I'll never forget too, I was waiting upon the Lord one day and got into a deep intimate place and began to see him. And he surprised me on this one because I began to get taken into clarity of his eyes and his face. And I was just so intimate. And then I looked closer and I could see his eyes. There was a glare. Have you ever seen a reflection in people's eyes because of the light? And he was looking off at something sternly. He was intently focused on something. And as I looked closer into the glare, you could see an ax at the root of a tree. And that's this verse right here where it's poised in this hour. And I'm telling you, I've seen it again, not to get too heavy, but to encourage us like quit playing the games, man. Seriously, this is not the time. You can feel it in an exciting way like you can play them, but you will miss the boat. I'm just telling you straight up. The door will shut. This is the Bible, Matthew 25. He had a lamp burning from John 3 that I was just in, John 5, sorry. And same thing, these burning lamps of the ten bridesmaids in Matthew 25, because they didn't have amounts of oil in extra, in abundance, a door shut in their face. You know what I'm saying? And so that's just red letters. Jesus, I don't like the story. I'm like, man, why don't we all get in, you know? But in this hour, you want to live pure, all in, intimacy, cut the fat out, and just go for it. But I'll never forget, the ax was laid at the root of the tree. This is Jesus that you and I serve. He goes on further, the fan in his hand. John the Baptist says Jesus has a fan in his hand, winnowing fork in some versions, and he's purging the threshing floor. Meaning he's separating the wheat from the chaff. We got any farmers in here, anybody that knows about that stuff? No way. You do? How does that work? I know they separate, but is it what, do you know about the wheat and the chaff? But you farm? Oh, no way. I'm going to need some corn on the cob or something. Oh, chicken's wild, praise God. Kid you not, man. Judah will testify. I was flying to North Carolina a couple weeks ago, and this has never happened before and probably never will again. Had to have been a sign of wonder or something. I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me. So we're sitting up there on the plane, and already anymore flying is a trip, man. It's wild. I got it figured out, though, man. I'm not a big Mass fan. I'd love it if you do. I don't care. I think they've got some really cool ones, but if I don't have to wear them, I'm just not a big fan. So I get on the plane, and they're mandatory, but there's a small little writing in the print that says if you're eating or drinking something, you don't have to wear it. So I was like, got them. I bought this massive bag of almonds, and I'm eating one at a time. Oh, another one. Oh, salt was good on that one. Okay. I'm just going as slow as I can. Oops, slowly sit the water. And they're like, sir. Oh, he's eating, and they can't really say anything. But no. But we look over. Judah noticed first. She had her little pet case. We were like, oh, Judah said, oh, she must have her dog on the plane. Yeah, it must be. So I was kind of in prayer and came out, and I look over, and she's opening the bag to get her dog out. And I look, she pulls a chicken out of the bag. I kid you not. I thought I was flying next to a chicken. I'm like, I thought I was seeing things. I double looked. I said, you got to be kidding me. He had the whole red thing on his head or whatever. And I kid you not, my mind was thinking, I want it, because he was kind of over by the window with her in her lap. And I was like, I wonder if he's looking out the window wondering what it would be like to fly, because they can't fly. That's just how I think, man. It's bad. Like, I need help. And so he's in her lap, man, and she's just petting. Or no, her, yeah, she told me later she lays eggs and stuff, but she's just petting her and just chilling, man, like a cat in a lap or something. I was like, this is crazy. I was like, Judah, bro, don't look, but look. You know what I'm saying? Like, don't make a scene, but there's a chicken on the plane, man. And so I couldn't help myself. And I said, ma'am, is that a rooster or a chicken? What is that? She goes, oh, yeah, she's a chicken. I've had her for eight years. She's the best thing, lays eggs. And I was like, wow. Anyway. But that's awesome. But the chaff and the wheat he's separating, I'll never forget. That was crazy. I'll never forget I was in Montana. And again, just to share this side of the Lord that I think is beautiful, very scriptural, but leads also to his goodness, and it's just who he is. I was in Montana, a different one, preaching, about to preach on a campus at a university. And from this verse, and I got taken into a vision. There's this mountain that's really there that overlooks this campus. And I go into a vision where I saw Jesus on the side of the mountain with a fan in his hand. He's waving it over the campus. And I came out of the vision. I said, oh, that's the winnowing. That's the fan to separate. It's a purity verse. And he's really blowing that wind through the bride right now. And some of us, if you want to hold tightly to what you have, it's okay. I'm not questioning your salvation, but you can really miss the mark right now. Really. He's trying to graduate people, testing jars of clay. Again, he's not ordaining what's going on in the earth. The enemy takes cheap shots, but the Lord will sure use it. He's always got the checkmate at hand. And I just want to encourage you guys in this hour to really assess where we're at practically in our personal life, our deep, intimate time with the Lord, living pure, getting the little foxes out, turning from those things, throwing off those things that so easily entangle us, repenting, turning to God. That's what John's main message was, so Jesus can come more fully. Does that make sense to you guys? Jesus only walks on the highway of holiness. That's it. He's grace, full of grace and mercy, long-suffering, kind. But when he sees a holy platform, he comes in fullness. And that's what he's looking for right now. And some people, you know, I feel we could miss the mark if we don't in this hour. He'll still love us, and we're good. I'm not questioning salvation. But that day, hours later, that was a morning slot of prayer. I mean, these are things I don't talk about a whole lot, but I've seen it over the years. I've just watched this side of God. And you can just see it starting to come full. I saw recently that he's going to start raising up people with the word of the Lord like a hammer in this hour. Just start watching these John the Baptists that have come out of nowhere. Elijah the same, look at it. They just all of a sudden popped on the scene out of nowhere. And they were a little bit abrasive sometimes, but it was the Lord's preparing him to come in a full way. But hours later, a real wind, he was blowing this fan over the campus. It caused wind to separate the wheat from the chaff. Is that right? The wind is what, yeah. And he says he's purging his threshing floor, meaning purifying it. And in a second, we'll pray corporately. And it's just as easy as praying and turning our heart. It's a posture shift. Repentance is super easy. And it's going to make room for the Lord to move in a real powerful way, the slightest shift. But that day, a real wind blew through, high-powered wind blew through the campus only. It was crazy. It took the headlines of the newspaper the next day. And you say, well, no way. This is the devil. No, I've seen it. Power lines, trees uprooted, trucks crushed. And this is some of the stuff you just say, well, I don't get that. Well, you don't always in the word. But I've seen some crystal clear things. Where the Lord was in, devil was nowhere in it. And there was nothing to bind. And you just start to see the side of him that means business. And it just so happened that day, these winds, it was a wonder. People around were like, what was that? It wasn't even tornadoes. The headlines of the newspaper had to say just high-powered winds. They were so powerful. They blew through the campus, uprooted massive trees, crushed. I remember the trucks, cars, power lines. And it wasn't whirlwinds. It was high-powered winds, what a fan would produce. That same day the winds came through, it got exposed. It was the winningest football program in its whole college division where I was preaching that night. And listen to me. Sometimes you carry the kingdom of heaven in such ways it unlocks the authority of God to do something major in a city. And it's big what you carry. You carry the kingdom of heaven. You know, that's what Blake walks in. I love that, man, the authority that he carries in this house, in this region. And I feel like, man, you guys are a sense of John the Baptist. I know Gadsden's, the Pastor Matt told me it's bigger than Moody, Gadsden is. So I know it's still a very notable city. But also, let's be honest, it's not L.A. or New York or something like that. So I feel like you guys are that mouthpiece. And you're going to be burning. Because in a second, I skipped it. I won't go there for the sake of time. But you see, people from all over the main cities came out to hear John the Baptist. He left that main area to be set apart to wear nothing that made sense of that day. To eat his own just living supernaturally on faith by God. He was in his own frequency with heaven. So set apart, consecrated from the world. Well, you're getting legal, brother. Well, we'll see. Fruit will tell. I'm telling you, man, I feel authority of heaven on this, man. You can do whatever you want. But I've just been feeling it, man. He's not playing games. And people are going to think, you're kind of losing your marbles a little bit. But I can feel it. It excites me. I can feel it. I hear it in his voice as a different tone. And I'm like, man, let's do it. Who cares? Now is not the time to really care anymore. Go back to the closet. Rip out what's not of him. Start to really adjust things big time. Your schedule. Plug in Jesus. Cut the television off, man. Social media, man. Who cares? Seriously. It's a bunch of hogwash anyway. Impact. Use it to impact the world. But for coming in, who cares, man? Like, really. You know what I mean. I don't want y'all to take that the wrong way. But I can feel this edge of heaven. He's wooing people out away from it all to the wilderness to just catch them on fire. And they're going to burn in this day and age. And the religious are going to come. And they're going to rebuke. They're going to be a little edgy. But it's going to spark revival. You're going to see them start to pop up. I'm telling you. And I feel like there's really something on this house. But it takes a shift. It takes this coming out. But I want to encourage you guys practically. Start to really just set apart. Come out from it. Does that make sense? And let this purity come. And watch the baptism come. I love it that John the Baptist, he says, he's greater than me. He's coming. He's going to baptize. I'll baptize you in water. But Jesus will baptize you in the Holy Spirit and fire. You remember that? It's funny. I was on one of those Zoom things recently with Patricia King. She's amazing. Many of you may know her. She's an amazing woman of God. Anyway, like Zoom is like the whole thing now. All these little Brady Bunch cubes. And there's faces all over the place. You're looking up. It's like, you know, whatever. So it was just me and her, which is good. But sometimes it's all the faces. And you're like, yeah, okay. But it stirred me, man. She was talking about, we got off on this. She was talking about how she believes, and I agree. It lines up from a scriptural standpoint. But she believes that the church has been baptized in the Holy Spirit, but not yet in full fire. You see the word baptism means, one of the original definitions is baptismo. It means to pickle pickles, meaning full immersion. You guys understand that fully? Well, if you look on the day of Pentecost, they were baptized in the Holy Spirit, but the fire just rested on their heads. It wasn't a full immersion yet. She was saying how this full baptism of fire is right around the corner on the church, and I believe it stirred me up. But John talks about that in fire. What does it do? It purifies and empowers. So there's a level of purity and power, I believe, that's coming that's unprecedented. But it's taking a level of consecration that we've not yet seen. I think sometimes we just become numb to it and don't realize it. But I just want to encourage you guys to practically look at your schedule, however it may be. So anyway, it got exposed that day, the same day the wind hit, that the head athletic director in football, the football was the team, winning us for years in a row. They dominated their division. It got exposed that there was some sexual things going on, whatever. And then that took the headlines the next day. They fired them both. Since then, I don't know if the football program has been back. But you'd think, why does the Lord care? Like I was preaching to a Christian group on the campus. You know what I'm saying? But he's coming in, and he's not playing around, and that winnowing fan will purge and purify in a fresh way. And he's just doing it. So John the Baptist talks about that as well. So I just want to pray here in a second. Again, not a heavy thing. We'll pray corporately. And I believe this is going to be a great shift of purity hit. And then it's up to you how much you want to yield and walk with it. But there's this new realm of him he's pulling us into that then is only sustained through intimacy, obviously. You know what I mean? You can strive all you want to live pure. But if you don't have a strong intimate life, it won't stick. But I just wanted to stay mainly in this because this morning I saw that. And then it's about to get a little swirly. And I saw some people were getting hammered, that's all I know, in my power nap. And then the presence got real good in the hotel room. We stopped at a Bass Pro on the way. That was glorious. Got me a pocket knife and some fishing baits. You've always got to have a knife for some reason. You've got to have one of those and some fishing baits. And then we got back over here and got in the presence. But yeah, let's do that. Let's pray and see where the Lord would lead. But again, just want to, you know, broad enough for the word of the Lord, but practical enough that it makes sense that this is not a condemning thing at all. But it's that message that, ding, John 535, the message of John the Baptist, the message coming forth is what the Lord's on right now. And the whole thing was come out and make way for him through repentance and purity and fresh baptism. Listen to me. Have you heard of that revival up in North Georgia, something like that? I'm not that familiar, but Pastor Matt's tight with him. I know that we were just with him. And you've got to watch stuff like this. There's this revival happening in North Georgia where it's all in the baptismal pool. Have anybody heard of this? Yeah. Bonafide miracles. Crazy. Well, the little bit I do know, I'm not connected, haven't been up there yet or anything. But what I do know is it's bonafide. They just, they're having crazy bonafide miracles happen. They'll just baptize them. And these miracles, they have doctor reported undeniable. But this pastor, Pastor Matt from last night, is close with him. He'll be preaching there in a few weeks, something like that. This pastor was walking across the congregation just not long ago. It's been going for several years, I think. Or how long, April? Yeah, so two years. Listen, you've got to watch this, okay? And I'm only preaching this because of what I heard this morning. I just love to stay in the lane of the Lord. I don't care what he wants to do. He knows that anymore. I just want to go back to my hotel room and him smile. Listen to me, ministry in its purest form is doing what he told you to do. Yeah, I just love that, man. And anything about him is altogether lovely. He's perfect and true and beautiful. But this revival is fresh, right? A couple years. And apparently, have you been there, April? Whoa. Oh, no way. Was it crazy? Yeah, yeah. I've heard they're picking up on angelic stuff. I remember the Brownsville Revival, baptismal pool. I'd like to remember that. It had been some angels up in that muck. People were getting tasered. Go watch videos. Yeah, it's nuts. And I was there live. It was like good luck. At first, you're like, man, why they got three full-grown men in the baptismal pool? You're like, it just takes one guy to dunk them until you see them get tasered in the Holy Ghost. Man, you got to look up this one. I don't know her name. It's my favorite of all. Short-haired lady. Just look for the short-haired lady in the baptismal pool. It'll mess you up, really. It shows Jesus' passion and love, man. He's so infatuated with his bride right now. His heart's beating for his bride right now. Deep intimacy. He's wooing her to purity, complete infatuation. And it's beautiful, man. He's starting to show levels of him that we've never seen, I believe, through both the Word, but also revelation and encounter. But anyway, she was fresh, born again. And she looks up. Well, no, she's talking to the guy. Yeah, I was lost. I was a liar. Blah, blah, blah. The Lord said, no, now your name is this. Blah, blah, blah. Changed your name, and it's special. And she's telling the pastor, hey, how are you doing? I just kind of saw you there. What's your name? Brittany. Wow, you're beautiful. My name is Brian. Were you on the drums? Yeah, that was amazing. So she turns just for a second. Listen, a pure hungry heart that turns to him is an incredible place to be. So she just kind of gets lost. Are you from here? Really? How old are you? Twenty-five. Wow. What do you do right now? What? Like college? That's cool. I just feel drawn to you. Sorry. This is really. This is like heaven's going to hit you, man. This is something special. That's really cool. I love the hair, too. Anyway, I'm getting kind of hammered all of a sudden. But so this lady, she's talking to him, and she shifts her attention. New, new in the Lord. And then she just kind of went for it, and she goes, Lord, I don't care anymore. I want all of you, if you'll take all of. And she couldn't say me. He just possessed her. Literally, watch it. It'll mess you up. Play it over and over again. She goes, Lord, I don't care. I just want all of you. If you'll take all of. Bam. She got smashed. Flew in the water. Pastors were trying to get her out of it. Shot her. It's like the Lord couldn't even let her finish her sentence. Possessed her in a deep, intimate way in the baptismal pool. And yes, it's feeling good now. I think we got through the John the Baptist thing. Sorry if that was heavy for some of you. But it's good, because it's purity, and it brings more of a river anyway. He's called the Holy Spirit for a reason. And so anyway, you've got to watch. This pastor in north Georgia is walking through the sanctuary at one point. And he sees over the baptismal pool these flames of fire burning on it. Have you heard of this, Pastor Howard? Anyway, it's north Georgia. These flames, he sees them in a vision. He said it didn't last long. Goes into a vision. He sees fire burning, flames not very tall, on top of the baptismal pool. And the Lord told him to start baptizing people. That was it. Just a pastor. And they start doing that. And ever since, it's still going on. There's a crazy revival. People are just showing up to just be baptized. There's lines. They'll baptize them, healings, miracles, revivals, healing. But you've got to sit back and watch. You'll be like, hold on, why was the method? See, Brownsville was a move of God Father's Day. You've got to watch all this. The Lord knows, hey, today will be a fun day. Let me just do it this way. This will be cool. Watch, I'll wow him with some fire over the baptismal pool. It's all calculated. It's now seasons and how he speaks in his voice. But literally, they said a river came through John Kilpatrick's legs. You can see the video, Father's Day. He's coming down the stairs. You've got to watch where, why, why that day, what happened. I love that Heather was talking about. Wasn't it 45 years to the day right now where Bob Jones got caught to heaven and that whole profound being soul harvest thing to the day? But anyway, river comes through his legs. And I don't think before that he was much of a manifest type guy. And he buckles, wham, falls out onto the stage and lays out like a limp noodle. Didn't get up for, I think, hours. And from that day forward, the revival hit for five years. River went through, took out his legs. And I told you, I can just feel it. It shifted. But you have to watch that. Why did the Lord in this current hour of a revival pick the baptismal pool as the sign and the method by which it would spark and sustain? You guys track it with me with fire on top of it. The Holy Spirit, baptism in water. It's John the Baptist. It's the spirit of Elijah. He's preparing his bride. It's what he's doing right now. And he's really got his voice on it. And there's a period he's dunking folks, pulling them back up brand new, baptizing them in the Holy Spirit and fire. Look, John too, and I'll land it here. I love it. Jesus, the first miracle we ever did. I love it because it's in the context of a wedding. I believe it speaks of a lot with the bridal realm and what he's really here for. Ultimately, the spirit and the bride say come when it all culminates. But we all know the story as Mom woos him finally ahead of his time to make water into wine. Man. I'm getting there. Yeah, if you read closely, it says that there were six vessels for ceremonial washing. Just read it. It's in John 2, John chapter 2. I think it's going this way, bro. I'm serious. If anybody wants to come, they got more seats. But I feel like it's you started something. But John chapter 2, there's six ceremonial washing vessels. And the Bible says they all could hold about 20 gallons, 20 to 30. I'm positive there's 20 in there because there's six of them. Six times 20 is what? It's 120. How many were on the day of Pentecost in the upper room? Yeah. And he turns water into wine. Six is the number of a man. So the cleansing and purity, the ceremonial washing of man, of the water baptism, it gets turned into wine, new wine. People think, oh, what are they doing laughing? Holy Ghost is super sneaky. He knows what he's doing. He's wooing his bride. He produces purity. People get drunk, come up totally free of sins, addictions. I've seen it, man. He's super sneaky. You don't want to be hungry at all. Let's get more deep and spiritual. And people are hammered in a deep spiritual way. And he's super contagious, too. He's way worse than COVID, man. I'm telling you right now. He's way worse. Talk about airborne. Ain't no mask going to stop the Holy Ghost. I am serious, man. Well, I'll tell you one last funny story. And then we'll just see where we end up. But one of the first times I got hammered by the Holy Spirit was, anyway, a long time ago. And so the Lord spoke to me clearly to pray in the Holy Spirit that whole day. And you missed it, man. There was all six times 20 and this whole mathematical just genius revelation. But, yeah, so God spoke to me to pray in the Holy Spirit all day. And so I did. And he came in really strong. It was all I knew. I didn't know what I had got into. And all I know is he just really smashed me. But I wasn't around people all day. So I didn't know. I had nothing to gauge my depth of where I was at. Have you ever done that? And you don't know where you're at. Yeah, until you get around some normalcy and you're like, okay, yeah, I'm not normal. You know what I'm saying? That's kind of what happened. And so, yeah, a person, a dear friend in North Carolina calls me that night. And I had just come out of prayer hammered, man. He came in waves of she-ka-ma-da and a bunch of others. And so I answered the phone. And I was trying to say hello. And it was only supernatural tongues would come out. And I was very embarrassed. To be honest with you, my natural mind was like, what's happening right now? I'm in Louisiana. This is North Carolina. So ain't no COVID mask going to stop the Holy Ghost. That's my point. I'm on a phone call. Whoa. That's awesome, man. That's awesome. Come on. What is it? Oh, wow, come on. And, yeah, so I pick up. And I'm like, what? I was just stopped, man. I was like embarrassed. And I tried to say it again. I was saying hello in my mind. And it was tongues. And then I just stopped. And immediately the person got hit by the Holy Spirit. Hammered instantly. This wasn't a buildup or anything. The Bible says suddenly a rushing mighty wind came. And so the person is laughing drunk and then trying to talk back. And they're like, eat my face. And then I'm hammered. So we're just laughing at each other and then talking in tongues. And we couldn't understand. We finally just had to hang up. And didn't call back the next day. I had to explain. But, anyway, all that being said, the Holy Spirit is way more contagious than COVID. So I just thought you'd enjoy that. Awesome. Let's stand. Welcome the Holy Spirit. Oh, yeah, purity to Holy Ghost possession. Yeah, that changed real fast, man. What time do y'all service in the morning? 11. Y'all got to come back, man. Who's staying through the night here? Okay, yeah, y'all got to come back at 11 a.m. Yeah, man. Awesome. So just begin to focus on the Lord. I want to pray corporately. I feel like it already moved in our hearts, but thank you, Jesus. Yeah, thank you, Jesus, for purity, intimacy. Be glorified. It's really strange. I just saw a level, typically used for construction, but a level was off. And I saw it level out perfectly with a bubble. Any of you that know construction, this is leveling to balance things off horizontally. And the bubble got right aligned perfectly. There's something to do with balancing. And I believe breakthrough in somebody's lives. I don't know, because horizontally, normally with me is something in the earth. I'll see plumb lines if it's vertical alignment. But there's something aligning in the earth. So I want you to receive that right now. Relationally, financially, there's some type of breakthrough where something's been off, and the Lord's going to align it horizontally and bring breakthrough. Something needs to balance out. If that makes sense to you or bears witness, just lift your hands into heaven right now. Just receive by faith. God, thank you. Balance it supernaturally. Work a miracle right now. Balance the horizontal offset. Do it, Jesus. Come, Holy Spirit. Financial breakthrough in Jesus' name. Supernatural provision for the vision. Breakthrough relationally and in the home. Receive that by faith right now. We've seen crazy miracles financially. But whatever's been off, whatever's been off, align right now. Just saw the bubble. It lined up perfectly. Alignment, balance by heaven. Make all things straight and new in Jesus' name.
