Revival Conference 2007 - Part 3

came and bore witness to his word that he was speaking in that in those meetings oh how dangerous i don't i think we're in greater danger from the religion that we've exported than from the homosexuals and the abortionists and everything else that's going on in this country we are in danger from the religion that we have exported and i'm ashamed to have to say it but i'm not afraid to say it don't remove the landmark and the lord said don't enter the fields of the fathers seven hundred thousand street children in zambia alone living in the streets from two years old and upward two years old children being cared for by children 10 years of age while the pastors believe that god has given them the right to drive a mercedes-benz or a bmw while there's seven hundred thousand children in the streets almost nobody feeding them the church having completely lost its moorings because they're getting their theological feeding from america folks the only way that god is going to set these people free he's got to bring down the economy of this country he's got to bring it down to set these people free from this entrapment because they look and they believe that this is god they believe that this must be the way that god does things in the way that god acts and yet seven hundred thousand children can be dying in the streets and they're completely oblivious to what the word of and the work of god really is we live in a society that's rejected godliness and will not see itself in the light of god's truth the only hope now for america lies in the pulpit there's no other hope now redemption is not coming through government you've seen it the religious right got into whatever they got into and there's it's powerless christ does not work thank god for good christian politicians thank god for the little they can do but the moral fabric of a country is not changed through legislation the moral fabric of a country is changed through preaching of the word of god through conviction of the holy ghost through repentance of sin every christian in our generation must become a preacher now and every preacher must speak for church it's come to that time folks it's time to stop playing all religious games it's time for men and women to get right with god it's time for every man every woman every young person to say god almighty whatever's hindering the testimony of your voice and your life within me jesus deal with it now this is not about heaven and hell for me this is about the future of others who need to know god this is about the honor of god the glory of god if the trumpet paul says makes an uncertain sound who will prepare himself to the battle how will they know how will they prepare if we preach to them as if there's a millions of morals when there might be only a few left how will the people know if we preach to them and present a false image of christ as if he requires nothing of the people as if sending sanctification is good enough as if a half-hearted following is acceptable to god when there's no evidence in the scriptures folks god help us to preach the christ of the bible again god help us to get involved in the work of the christ of the bible god help us to be able to stand as jesus did in the pulpit and say the spirit of the lord is upon me for this reason to preach to the poor to see the captives set free to give sight to the blind to see those that are bruised in heart given the healing that god offers to all men god help you and i to stand again and represent the christ of heaven in this generation jesus said whoever seeks to save his life shall lose it and whoever loses his life for my sake and for the gospels the same shall save it you see moses sought to save his life he wanted to keep this thing inside of him not realizing that it was going to cost him it was going to cost others perhaps the wisdom the leadership that he could have offered was going to be lost because he refused to deal with these things ever in his life god help us today to deal with the half-heartedness that is so rampant american society which i am part of and i love has in it the inalienable right to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness and so we've taken that and we brought that into the church and now the whole reason for christ and the church is for life and liberty and the pursuit of happiness the culture now has formed the church instead of the church forming the culture sad to say but there's always hope as long as you live and i live as long god what is god's remedy then the god's remedy has always been a man a woman god's remedy has always been a person who lays hold of the head of his garment one more time and say god almighty i want you to do something in me that nobody else can do i want you to give me a testimony i want you to put the burning fire that's in your heart in mind i want you to be so intertwined in my life that when i stand and speak or when i just simply walk down the street or when i just interact with my friends and family that you are seeing jesus that there's a reality there's that a conviction of sin comes that there's an understanding there's a righteousness that's far beyond anything that can be produced with human effort that men become aware there's a day of justice coming the cry of my heart yours has got to be god let me see what i'm trying to save of myself that will cause me to be an unclear or unfinished testimony of your purposes in your grace you've got to help me see what am i trying to save what what am i not willing to give what what area of my life jesus can't you touch there's no revival without this talk about it plan about it have a hundred thousand seminars about it but there's no revival until god's people get face to face with god and say you have the rights to my heart you have the right to my life you have the right to everything that is mine you have the right to send me to africa you have the right to cause me to die preaching the gospel on the street corner you have the right for my life i'm not my own i'm bought with a price you have the right to examine my heart you have the right to prove me and try me and test me and see if i'm in the faith you have the right to take me where i can't go in the natural and to make me what i could never be in my own strength you have the right of god to send me where i couldn't go and make me what i could never be you have the right jesus christ you are the lord of my life that's where revival comes from that's where young men and women go to the mission field that's where preachers who know how to preach christ are born it's men and women who say you have the right you have the right to this temple you're going to show my image of myself you're the right of god you have the right to make a fool out of me if that's what it takes for you to be glorified you have the right to my life and every part of my life and everything in my life my dear god you have the right to speak to me you have the right to have others speak to me you have the right to let me know that you may be lifted up high you have the You have the right to my finances. You have the right to my future. You have the right to my life. That's revival. I live in revival. I'm in revival. I'm not looking for it. I live in it. I've just come back from Burundi. I've just preached on television and radio to four nations. Tanzania, Burundi, the Congo, and Rwanda. The very airways that the voice of the devil used to have people rise up and slaughter one another. I've been there just recently. I've seen thousands of people dancing in the field as tootsies and hooters and twa. People chose to forgive each other. I've been in pastor's conference where pastors chose to stop preaching hate and embrace one another. I've seen the joy of the Lord break out. I've watched the president dance before God. I've seen revival. I've been there throughout the world. We're almost the only place on the planet that doesn't know that revival is happening all over the world. Now, the Lord took Moses and he showed him the promised land.
