Episode Transcript
Lance: We’re experiencing an extraordinary visitation that God is in his sovereignty bringing to the earth right now. Dutch sheets and Gene Bailey and I were at an event out in Tucson where he was sharing about a vision that God gave him about a campus wide move of God that was going to begin to happen and culminate in a deliverance move. And we haven’t talked about that yet,but the deliverance anointing is coming back to the next generation but it’s starting. I believe in Asbury on the campus there. This is like a divine anniversary 53 years after the last visitation in Asbury on the campus. Ironically the same year that the Kansas City Chiefs won the Super Bowl there was a move of God and it’s happening again 53 years later. Exactly 75 years to the date of the Latter Rain Movement starting. It’s happening right now.
I want to make something available for you. It’s called the Gathering of the Dangerous. It’s the message that was forged in the fires of the revival in the tent meeting with Mario Murillo just recently. As I was reflecting on something Kim Clement had told me that he had overheard hell spying out the movement of God and pointing out where God was raising up awakeners and he warned there’s the gathering of the dangerous ones. I believe God is gathering the dangerous ones out of this fire of revival. You don’t want to miss this message. Go to “Lancewallnau.com/gathering” and get a hold of what we believe is a fulfillment of a prophetic convergence of God‘s activity with awakening that touches your life.“Lancewallnau.com/gathering” and let’s go right into the message.
Welcome to the Lance Wallnau Show. Today we are actually going to be zeroing in on the revival that is happening in Asbury, Kentucky. And looking at the flow of that spirit as it works in our own what what’s happening right now that’s coming upon you. You’re going to experience revival while we’re talking. There’s something contagious about this particular movement. I think it’s so brilliant coming out of a COVID era and out of the anarchy of riots and all the negative stuff. God literally is coming down on the youth and this is especially sweet sense we’ve been believing that the university and the education system and the Family Mountain has been the area Satan’s targeted so viciously. How like Jesus to shepherd a movement over the young people and he’s showing up right now in Asbury and I want to go to a verse.
I’ve got Larry Sparks with me and Mercedes Sparks with me. We’re doing part two of a show we started yesterday. Those of you that missed part one, you’re not going to want to miss it. Once you see this, go back and watch that. Because we’re covering this Asbury Revival and something is lively that’s happening right now. And I believe Larry’s going to have a real word for us hereon what this Asbury type revival has is different then. Different revivals we’ve grown up with are moves of God. Those are the Pentecostal, that love the Toronto thing movement and Pensacola and etcetera. This is different. This goes to a deeper I think probing of a heart. And perhaps a more powerful awakening. More of the type that we prior to the Civil War that took place in the United States in the 1860s under Charles Finney’s revival. We had a different spirit.
I want you to go to a verse here. Jesus is going to Jerusalem and as he’s going to Jerusalem, he tells his disciples to look for something. Says going to the village, Luke 19 if you got a bible verse 30. Going to the village opposite you Jesus says and when you enter, you’re going to find a cult that is tied. On which no one has ever yet sat. loose it and bring it here. And if anyone asks you, why are you losing it just say to them because the Lord has need of it. So, those who were sent their way went and found it just as Jesus said and as they were losing the colt. The owners of it said to them, why are you losing the colt? And they said, the Lord has need of him and then they brought him to Jesus and they threw their own clothes on the colt and they sat Jesus on him.And as he when many spread their clothes on the road then as he was now drawing near, the descent of the Mount of Olives. The whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice saying, blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord peace in heaven and glory in the highest.
Now stop here and see the similarities between what we’ve been predicting for years what happen in America and what’s happening now. We’ve been saying that Jesus would arrive in a way that would shake the nations on an unwritten cult. Meaning a cult is the foal of an ass is the King James version. It means it’s the young unwritten offspring of the older written movement of God. So, what you’ve got now is an unwritten move of God, meaning a young movement that’s never had a revival. A young people that have never experienced revival. And there’s a great testimony which we could play here that’s two minutes long. I want to put it in of a young man and you’ll hear the sound of a cult who says hey man if Jesus was enthroned himself in some building somewhere I drive 6 & 1/2 hours to get there and he said, that’s why he went to Asbury and he showed up. Want you to hear this testimony.
When we come back, I want to talk with Larry, Mercedes about the characteristics of a sustainable move of God and what this could be if properly steward and what the threats are to aborting it or thwarting it early on. Let’s go ahead and play that.
Testimony: We’ve been crying out for revival in our city. We’ve been learning about revival but I’ve never seen it. I didn’t even know it was reals. I’m like they’re I’m just sitting in class and they’re telling us all these stories on college campuses and then going across the nations and we’re like when is this going to happen? And then they lock you in a prayer room and you’re just like, hey, you got to ask for it and we’re just sitting there, God I’m asking. What does it look like? And then all of a sudden, my friend Jaden says dude if Jesus just localized himself and just sat his throne in a room how could we not drive 6 & ½ hours to go. We get here and it was like complete we get here like 6 AM and it’s completely silent. I’m like, oh, is this revival God? And then chapel starts and immediately we just see people flooding in and God said, ‘Revival isn’t hype it’s ordinary people who are hungry.’
And he said, Gage, I’m going to need you to go to the altar. And I’m like, I don’t want to go to the altars. And he’s like go to the altar, and I go to the altar and worship starts. And he’s like this is revival. Look left. And I look left. And there’s this young college woman getting prayed over by an older woman. And he says, look right and then there’s this young guy praying over an older guy. And he says, look behind you. And everyone’s just raising their hands and he said, Gage this is revival. It isn’t hype. It’s ordinarily people crying out. For a move of God in our generation and I’m here. What an honor is to be here. Revival’s real. It isn’t just a story we’ve heard about. It’s come and it’s not just come here today, but it’s about to spread out to the nations. I’m here to talk to every young person in this room. I just gave my life a year and a half ago to Christ and it has been the greatest thing I have ever done. I left everything and I’m here to talk to every young person in this room. Forget the job. Forget the girl. Forget the guy. Forget everything. He’s worthy. He’s worthy and I’m here and I’m just saying oh, it’s such an honor. If you don’t feel that joy inside of you, I don’t know what’s going on. It’s real. Amen. I love you guys.
Lance: Alright, so wow. You hear this young man and this is I don’t know how old he is, but you can hear the sound of an unwritten cult. This is the sound of what I’m talking about here. Jesus rides that cult and it’s a worship move. This is a move and when Jesus goes in the city, they’re all stirred and they’re worshiping and they’re throwing their coats down. Jesus rides the unridden revival. Meaning, it’s never been broken in. Now, how do we keep this pure?
Mercedes: Yeah.
Lance: Is our question, because I really believe it’s great potential in this, but the potential isn’t in the what we would focus on the phenomenology or you were talking yesterday in Mercedes about people that in our charismatic movement are all about the experiencing the touch of God. This is really about allowing the spirit of God to come down and do a deeper work in us so that we’re transformed. What are your thoughts on that? Larry, I’ll throw it to you as a historian in revival.
Larry: One of the portions of scripture that I feel like really models what true revival looks like is Isaiah chapter 6 and I see 4 points in here that I think if we hang on to these things, we will be protected. We will keep the revival pure and something will be sustainable that I believe can increase. So, Isaiah 6, it says in the year King Isaiah’s died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne lofty and exalted with the train of his robe filling the temple. The first thing is our eyes are on the Lord. Our focus is on the Lord. Right there, the prophet Isaiah is having an encounter with Godand I believe that is where revival is birth. A genuine encounter with God but it doesn’t stop there. Then, it goes on to outline what he saw. Seraphim stood above him each having 6 wings with 2 he covered his face and with 2 he covered his feet. With 2, he flew and one of the Seraphim called out to the other and said holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts the whole earth is full of his glory.
And even in Asbury in the chapel, you see the one statement written up in that building,“holiness unto the Lord”. It’s not a call for us to simply practice behavior modification, it’s seeing God as he is and that’s where actually a true revival encounter is birth. I saw the Lord just like Isaiah. Verse 4, it says. “In the of the threshold trembled at the voice of him who called out while the temple was filling with smoke”. And Isaiah responds, he says, “Woe is me. I am ruined and undone”. That’s number two. In the presence of the Lord, I understand there’s great joy, I understand there’s refreshing. But when you encounter the holy presence of God which we’re seeing right now God. setting down in a building. You will be undone. You will feel completely wonderfully overwhelmed. He go on to say, I’m ruined because why, I’m a man of unclean lips and I live among a people of unclean lips. For my eyes have seen the king, the Lord of hosts.
That’s basically Isaiah saying, listen, when I see God, when I behold who God is and I measure myself next to that, it’s not God trying to make somebody feel bad. It’s simply having a revelation of who God is and then I see myself measured next to his holiness. There’s only one and that saying God I’m undone and the good news is there’s cleansing. Verse 6, it goes on to point out number 3 which Mercedes pointed to me. I didn’t even factor this in when I’ve been using this as a model of revival. Says verse 6, then one of the seraphim flew to me with a burning coal in his hand which he had taken from the altar with tongues. He touched my mouth with it and he said, “Behold, this is touched your lips and your iniquity is taken away and your sin is forgiven”. And that’s one of the key testimonies we’re hearing right now about this revival.
People are going up because of their experience with God. No preacher hyping them up. No one really trying to make them feel bad about their sin. It’s not that. It’s conviction because they’ve encountered a holy God and they’re actually experiencing cleansing in the presence of the Lordwhich is wonderful. And then we go on to see the next thing, but Mercedes, did you have any further thought there about. Because you’re the one who really brought that up me about the purification that happens in the prayer.
Mercedes: Well, I don’t think, to me I don’t think the like the presence purifies you. It’s the redeeming work of Christ that would. So, in this analogy I think that Christ the rock is symbolic of Christ cleansing us from our iniquity and our sin. So, if we’re going to make it for me if I’m making a model for revival which I think is a beautiful thing you’ve put together there. On the break I was like, but isn’t that where he’s cleansed with the stone from the altar. And so, here we take the stone and he’s cleansed of that sin. It was interestingly it’s because you were talking about that on the last show where it’s like what you’re feeling under that is a type of conviction as a desire where God‘s kind of poking and prodding people and saying you’re made for more. You’re called for more. There’s some incongruencies here. You need to, let’s look at these things and it’s not a I need to white knuckle it and change it myself, but I’m in need of a savior. I am undone and I need to be cleansed. It’s a redeeming work in Christ that I think cleanses us.
Larry: When I think of your testimony though Mercedes when you met the Lord when you, like Isaiah saw the Lord had an experience with God. You didn’t need somebody to tell you how you need to change the music that you’re listening to. Or you didn’t have somebody tell you, you need to go out and forgive these people like you had that experience with God, received the redeeming work of Jesus and it was just holy spirit who provoked you to do that.
Mercedes: Yeah, I mean, there’s a response, obviously we’re all filled with the Holy Spirit when we accept the Lord and that’s really what happened. I just had a conviction that said I don’t even know all the wrong stuff that I’ve done with my life. I don’t even fully understand Father, Son, Holy Spirit. I had no concept of that but I knew I needed forgiveness. I knew I needed a savior. And so, that moment I prayed that prayer. And Lance, and I talked about this because you have a similar testimony Lance where you call it you were zapped. It’s like, for me I was like taking a breath for the first time. It was like being hit by a wave in the ocean, but it came down and inside of me and filled me all up. It was such, it’s something I’d never felt before. It’s my never experienced before but it was the Holy Spirit that came in and took up residence and filled me all up. So, but yeah, he comes in. I mean, the Bible says, he corrects, he trains, he rebukes for righteousness sake and so that’s his job.
Lance: Well, let’s take a look at this verse a little more soberly on in terms of what’s going on with Asbury and what we believe is coming to America. Because what preceded the experience of Isaiah encountering the Lord. By the way, I think that this is an anointed sequence. This encounter with God by the Holy Spirit as a holy God versus Toronto is all about intimacy with the father. The theme was kind of God‘s a good God and his intimacy and people were having a love fest. I mean, the classic song about a sloppy wet kiss whatever that line is that became like the famous theme song of Toronto. That was an intimacy movement, but I think what’s happened in America is a prelude, dare I say to the great shaking of divine discipline. So, there’s a sobriety attached to this which is why the Lord showing up with more like prepare yourself to meet God.I think this is going to have a great effect on America because look at what precedes the four phases Larry talks about.
First, the encounter with the holy which is the holy, holy, holy. Second, the conviction. I am an unclean man. This is the prophet. He was already prophesying. God already chose me. He’s going whoa and that’s what I’m saying when as I’m looking at the Jasper Revival. I don’t care how God has used me up till now. I don’t feel entitled to wait in and see what God‘s doing and I actually feel like a fear of the Lord like alright I better upgrade. Because now we’re going to another level of refinement in the fire. I feel convicted. Lord, I have to my eyes are seeing the king and the Lord of hosts. So, conviction settling down. So first is holy presence of God,personal conviction than cleansing. He touched my mouth like Larry said. He touched my lips. Now I feel a little bit more qualified to speak. I really am reluctant to speak right now. I mean sincerely. True. And then fourth whom shall I send?
Larry: Yeah.
Lance: So, I wrote these down. I never had this before, Larry. I wrote down first is the encounter with the holy. Second is conviction. Third is cleansing and fourth is commissioning.
Larry: Yeah.
Lance: So, then we have the commission, the scent. But I’m reading my notes in my spirit-filled Jack Hayford.
Larry: Jack Hayford Bible.
Lance: Classic Bible I’ve got Larry. You got my New American one over there. So, here’s what the note says. This will really shake you up. The prophet chapter 6, verse 8. “Whom shall I send? The prophet enlightened, cleansed, and called is now ready to volunteer for the crucial of prophetic ministry”. And then verses 9 and 10. This is where we stopped our sermon here. And the Lord says, “Go and tell them. You’re going to keep on hearing but you won’t understand. You’re going to keep on seeing but you will not proceed. Make the heart of the people dull. Make their ears heavy. Their eyes shut. For they understand with their heart unless they understand with their heart and return and be healed”. Here’s what the verse says down here, the commentary. It says, the prophet is given. No reason to expect a positive response to his message. God knew the nation was now almost beyond remedy as it would be in the day of Jesus.
See the note on Mark 4:12 where Jesus brings this verse up again and says, “You got eyes but you don’t see”. He would repeat this as the one sent by the father. So, I would say it might be that this great move of God is going to prepare a remnant.
Larry: Yeah.
Lance: Because what happens next is God knew that a remnant would a tent would return from captivity and so the next verse 13 says, “A tent will be in it”. Meaning that a remnant will respond, but it doesn’t matter. What God‘s going to do is he’s going to bear witness to America and there’s going to be a great harvest. I believe this harvest has the potential to be an extension of peace depending on what they do. Because remember when Jesus went into Jerusalem riding that movement that had never yet been written. The first thing he did was he shook things up in the temple, and then the politics and the religion kicked in and they tried Jesus. They came against him. So, this is a rather interesting period of history that we’re in right now.
Larry: Can I say this just in response to that? Because this is just that spirit of prophecy, Holy Spirit highlighting something. I feel like one of the things the Lord might be even saying to people who are watching or listening is that, you are invited. You are required to be obedient to the word and the commissioning of the Lord regardless of how people respond to you. As you’re talking about that Lance, I’m thinking of people who are called to spirits of influence like youand Mercedes teach. Government, I’m thinking of places that are not easy because if I want to go and see immediate fruit or immediate positive response to God talk, then I’ll go to the Church. I’ll go and do a revival meeting, but if I want to go or I think it was Jesus who said, don’t be afraid of their faces. I mean, that’s the language of the scripture where you’re called to preach something. Don’t be afraid of people responding either not responding to you or responding negatively to you. You are called to go to those places.
If you are commissioned, if you had encounter with God, you are called to go to whatever people group. I’m not referring to a missional group. I’m talking about if you’re called to go to Hollywood media, if you’re called to be a politician or a governor. You’re called to go to those places. Be faithful to the assignment God has given you and don’t fear the response of the people. Your primary assignment is to be obedient to God whether or not you receive an immediate benefit or not. Like I love this and I saw, I don’t typically read verse 9 and below because it’s kind of negative but the Lord said no. But well, makes me think of kind of that slogans like you don’t want to be so negative but the reality.
Lance: Lance, you are so negative. I go, who can turn this move of God into something. I can because as the Jew in me, the Jewish prophets, Isaiah’s commission and then the next thing he’s told us but don’t expect much.
Larry: Yeah. But you know what you can expect though. If you are faithful to your assignment, you will expect. Well, done. Good.
Lance: Thou good and faithful servant.
Larry: Yeah.
Lance: And listen, I think that the real point is are you serving the Lord? Are you doing what is pleasing in his sight?
Larry: Yeah.
Lance: Because when the great replay tape, I’ve watched in the Super Bowl and they would go back and play in slow motion these great exhilarating moments to see whether they were done inbounds or out of bounds etcetera. Well, the great replay tape is at the judgement seat of Jesus,and that’s when your reward is determined. That’s when the judge of all the earth says, no, you were inbounds I’m giving you points for that one. No, you were doing exactly what I told you to do. I nullify the response that was against you. And your fruit is based on fidelity to the assignment. I think that’s the reason why this conviction and this cleansing is a very good thing.Because we all need to go to the refiner and refine ourselves in the presence of the Lord and see what and in a sense, I think God is going to qualify Larry the new mouthpieces for the great awakening.
Larry: Yeah.
Lance: I don’t think it’s an automatic given that someone that had a microphone a mouthpiece and a trumpet before is authorized. I think there’s going to be recommissioning’s which is those that are enlisted have the privilege of being tested and tried. And those who have never come in. I believe that they’ll be young great Awakeners. I prayed in the 90s for God to raise up Whitfield’s and Wesley’s when I was pastoring in Rhode Island. And I prayed that the college campuses would have a great visitation. Because I knew there were such strongholds of darkness. I would always be amazed at parents who don’t understand that these are like really weird places because your kids away from parent responsibility, the fraternities, the partying, the stuff that I saw when I was in the 70s was intense. It’s just become even more of an indoctrination camp for Marxist since then.
Mercedes: Yeah.
Lance: So, what a great place for God to raise up. I pray that the moves from Bible Colleges because right now, I’m hearing Bethel in Austin, and various other charismatic and Holy Spirit-inspired campuses. Of course, they’re going to grab this. We’re hungry for a move of God. I want to see it at UCLA. I want to see it at Berkeley. I want to see it at Michigan State. I wanted to cross over to Harvard Yard. I want to see the great awakenings raised up in the secular campuses. My prayer is that this move will stay pure, will stay deep, profound, convicting, terrifying to the devil. They will cause the fear of the Lord and a genuine repentance among God‘s people so that it can raise up great awakeners on the secular campuses, young men and women.
This is what this is what Donald Trump prayed for in that faithful moment when he touched the coffin of Billy Graham. Five times as Billy Graham was laid to the earth, and when was that?2019, 18, 19, when he had passed away. Trump prayed that, “God would raise up a new generation of young Billy Graham’s male and female”. This was the prayer of the on the coffin of the great awakener of the last move. That God will raise up a new generation of young Billy Graham’s male and female on these campuses. Let’s agree together that that can happen. So,what if I dare us to say, what could possibly derail? A move of God can be derailed.
Larry: Yeah.
Lance: Curiously enough, the one thing that Charles Finney warned about which is so antapicalto what I’m all about. He said, an unhealthy preoccupation with sectarian politics can derail a move of God. And his warning that the anti-slavery sentiment leading to the Civil War could kill the revival that God was doing. So, he had the tension of being an anti-slavery abolitionist who felt that the best way to overturn slavery was through a revival and mass conviction and conversion of Christianity for the kingdom to come. But he was worried that politics would actually thwart and we’re coming in within two years of the critical presidential election. I think we got a different kind of thing we got to do this time but I’m just saying historically getting off on divisive subject matter can kill the activity of God. What do you think Mercedes?
Mercedes: I think right now we have an epidemic of the counterfeit in the body. I think there’s something Larry and I are probably going to write a little book on. But I got this book I want to write called Many Will Come in My Name. I believe there are quite a few false Christ in the body right now and people aren’t awake to it. So, if I were the devil and I wanted to throw this off, I think I would start releasing counterfeit moves and call it, oh it’s just like the Asbury Revival like in Meenham 4 to 6 weeks from now that one’s going to break out someplace else but it’ll be counterfeit. It’ll be like mingled fountain. It feels strange. So yes, that’s if I was the devil,it’s probably what I would try to do.
Lance: Well, that makes sense. Larry, the antidote to the counterfeit is what?
Larry: I would just say these few things based on just studying this throughout history. Number one it cannot rest on the personality of a single person that’s for sure. Even I think of things like Lakeland with Todd Bentley. I think of situations even in a good revival situation like Brownsville where you had multiple notable invisible leaders. It went 5 years the positive about Toronto, I’m just giving you historical observations is there is a plurality of leaders. Which I love about Asbury in the sense nobody’s coming to see the personality. No one’s coming for the notable demonstrative eccentric evangelist character. People are coming and that is again, I know people have different perspectives on Toronto. They came to meet God. Asbury, they’re coming to meet God.
So, I would say cannot be personality driven. I think there needs to be a plurality of leadership. Mercedes and I’ve been talking about this. We see God raising up a company particularly of young people who are in covenant together. Relational covenant working together. Groups of couples. Cindy Jacobs gave a prophetic word. Isaiah 65:8 that new wine would found in a cluster, in a group. So, it’s no longer just one person. I think the preaching of scripture is an absolute nonnegotiable. Even and listen I love all the charismatic stuff. That’s who I am charismatic. Pentecostal. I always tell people I don’t tolerate the manifestations of the holy spirit.I celebrate them. So, I celebrate that. My concern though is sometimes the diminishment of the scripture and the elevation of experience.
I would absolutely agree my wife who comes from PCA Reformed Presbyterian background. I would actually wholeheartedly agree with that. That’s what I admire about people like Jonathan Edwards. That’s why I admire about people like Steve Hill from the 1990s. Every revival service at Brownsville, that man was up there preaching from the pulpit. And just as a side note Steve Hill wrote a book, I think in 2012-2013 prophesying of the day that we’re in right now called Spiritual Avalanche where he Had a dream. He had a vision of actually some of the false theology that would try to invade the church and even the charismatic movement. I’ve dusted that book off my shelf because I believe that is going to help us as we navigate revival with purity in the days ahead.
Lance: Well, we’ll have to have you back on and talk to us with some highlights from the book on what really you were talking about. I was and so that I can clarify things. I’ve been a revival junkie since I discovered Charles Finney, the spear library in Princeton University. I have the original Finney manuscripts I got a hold of. I think they thought it was a student. I went into the vault of the original 1820s, 30s, 40s, 50s volumes that were written that. So, I loved reading the original documents before Ravel and various Bethel Bethany publishers cleaned them up and removed the supernatural. I noticed that they scrubbed Finney’s accent experiences from the text most of you have read. But I was on Randy Clark’s board during the Toronto Revival. I was right on it. I served his board.
So, I had a front row seat. My challenge always was, I was felt that it was unto something and that the revival was unto the nations. I didn’t feel like there was a whole lot of people that were hearing me and I was saying it’s going to come down to fake media, fake news, anti-Christcontrol of government. Academia being flood with indoctrinating theology that would be antithetical to truth theology. And all the things that I saw coming were happening and I always felt that the disconnect for me was a church that wanted to have experiential transformation of a move of God that was somehow do the work of reformation for them while they went deeper into the end zone of intimacy and became spectators.
Mercedes: Yes.
Lance: Even a guy that I really love. I’m not going to call out right now by name should know better. A great Pentecostal prophet was reading a prophecy recently from a prophet and he said, just sit back and watch and don’t get involved with all the drama that’s going to go on because there’s going to be a lot of strife in political and economic warfare. But it’s kind of like that attitude of sit back and be a spectator. That I’m going to call them up on and say, ‘Brother, you taught me how to discern God. I’m going to tell you, you missed it on that one.’
Larry: Yeah.
Lance: Because God‘s not telling us to sit back and become a spec He’s saying, go into the fight and don’t go in combustible. You got to get all the hooks out of you. You got to get to the point where the enemy can’t control you with fear and anger and emotion and hate but you got to show up for the battle and you have to be someone the enemy can’t get a hook on. To do that, you need this revival.
Larry: Well, can I propose this? Where is God coming out of? So, Jesus is the only one left to come out of heaven. I’m not waiting for the Holy Spirit to come out again. Jesus will return until then where is the move of God or how is a move of God going to happen. You and I are filled with the Holy Spirit which means when we move, when we get off the couch, when we get off or behind, when we actually go to the systems that need transformation. We are in essence being and carrying the move of God. So, lots of people I admire would say the same thing. Oh, just sit back and watch. I don’t think we have the luxury to do that. I think that’s actually disobedience and I think that’s poor stewardship of the Holy Spirit we’ve received. Because I know this much Lance is we do have a very strong prophetic word about the last days in the end times from the mouth of God himself.
He said in the last days, God declares, “I’ll pour out my spirit, not on all charismatics, not on all Pentecostals”. He said, “I’ll pour out my spirit on all flesh”. And the Lord told me, do you know how all flesh is going to experience the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. All flesh can’t fit in the church building. All flesh can’t fit in the largest building that we can offer them. All flesh to experience the Holy Spirit to experience outpouring, to experience transformation. You and I and the people who are watching and listening need to go where all flesh is.
Lance: Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Thank you Lord and we’ve run out of time and I had a special segment I wanted to play for you. I’ll have to do just another episode on this which is okay. I mean, I got some of my folks won’t mind this at all. We’re just going to keep on talking about the move of God. Can anything be more important? I was talking to a group of CEOs today and we have 7 Mountain initiatives. We’re doing very important work on Supreme Court in movies and in a lot of great and city-wide awakenings which are going to be like City Serve and Missions Me and all that stuff’s going to different city. But I told them when they asked me to close out in prayer. I said, we’ve got initiatives in all 7 Mountains but God, if God is moving as I think he is in Asbury and other campuses, how can we continue to ask God to bless what we’re doing without stopping to say we will join God in what he’s doing and then see how it connects with what we’re doing.
I’m encouraging in the same way. This is a divine window. Doesn’t take much. I’m going to play for you in the next broadcast the testimony that really impacted me. It was from funny thing was it wasn’t from what’s happening in Asbury now. It’s from what happened in 1970. Because it’s like Elijah’s bones. There was a dead body thrown on the corpse of Elijah and when he hit the bones, there was enough anointing in the history of Elisha. Boom, the resurrection life got into the sky. This is where the doctrine of re–digging wells has some credibility to me where Godkeeps moving in the same locations geographically. Because there’s a history of God moving. Asbury’s one of those places. It’s had ten revivals and then it’s happening right now and it’s happening right now in the 75th anniversary on Valentine’s Day of the Latter Rain Revival of 1948.
So, the same time in 1970 when the revival happened in Asbury Kentucky and then there in anhour south of Lexington. Boom, Kansas City Chiefs won the Super Bowl and here it is again. Well, I think there’s something’s cosmic going on here. There’s a divine timing and the president of Asbury University said that when he was out of town, he was in Canada when he found out about the revival. He was in a phone booth and the spirit of God came upon him so powerful in a phone booth, what does that tell you? It’s almost quantum physics. The move of God maybe happening in the bones of somebody buried in the location of some place historic. But if a guy’sin a phone booth talking to someone and the anointing or the presence of God, you can call it the anointing is like Methodist. He just said, the spirit of God was so real to him in that phone booth. It was more real than any other experience in his life. And he was in Canada like Clark Kent in a phone booth. And he had a supernatural experience with God.
So, I’m believing this move of God will be like the Covid. The irony of Covid is it was mystery. It was the unseen enemy. It would show up. It would take people out. It would neutralize people. I don’t want to go into that. But you know what? God‘s counteraction to that is a natural super spreader move of God that you just get in proximity to someone that’s carrying that anointing and that mantle of revival and that spirit. Here’s the thing Larry and Mercedes that I was most moved by the testimony of what’s happening now and what happened before.
The carriers of the Asbury Revival were the most unextraordinary students of revival. They basically were just sitting there and were in it and then went and felt God told to go tell someone about it. They drive 2 hours, tell them about it, and impart it the revolve to prove it wasn’t in the natural. It was a supernatural move of God. So, I’m believing this thing’s going to be highly contagious and Larry, if you go, you’re going to have to give us some live feedback on what’s happening.
Mercedes: I think he’s going tomorrow.
Larry: Yup.
Lance: You’re going tomorrow?
Larry: As of when we’re recording this right now, yes.
Mercedes: Well, no, no, this little error. It’s okay.
Larry: That’s what I thought. Yeah.
Lance: Well, whenever possible, we want to how many of you agree. We want to hear from Larry, our reporter out there on the street.
Mercedes: I want to say one thing because I know we didn’t play the clip, but there was a girl who did an interview with a local news station. She said, look listen, I don’t know how long this is going to go on for Michael for a couple of weeks, but I think it’s going to end in a commissioning and people being sent out which is very in line with what you were saying. But then I looked up, this would be really interesting if it happened. But February 28 in 2018 is when Trump made those comments. So, it would be interesting to see if a commissioning took place close that time and not forget too Purim is the beginning of March. So, that’s also around the corner.
Larry: Sounds like a chaos code to me.
Mercedes: I like that club there Larry. I trained him well.
Lance: Sounds like you trained him. Well, it sounds like a chaos code to me too. Alright, ladies and gentlemen we went a little bit over today’s broadcast. But if you want to see the clip that I want you to see that really impacted me from 1970 or from, well after 70.
