04:49You know, revival is a funny thing, isn't it?
04:52That term is very loosely thrown around the church.
04:56Everybody kind of uses it.
04:57It's kind of a catch-all term in a way.
05:00But in essence, I know everybody defines it differently.
05:04But in essence, you've got two kind of revivals.
05:07One, that God pours out the Holy Ghost on a certain area.
05:14And then two, where God pours the Holy Ghost into a person.
05:20And then they travel around sparking many revivals.
05:24Click, click, click, click, click, click.
05:26Yeah.
05:28Similar to lightning in California and Arizona.
05:32Lightning hits the ground, and boom, a fire starts.
05:37And we're kind of the latter.
05:39Okay, we're looking for God to spark a revival starting next Thursday.
05:47You won't want to miss this thing.
05:50And if you look past through history,
05:53man, I tell you what, you'll see a lot of really interesting stuff, won't you?
05:57Yeah, there's been all kinds of revivals in history.
05:59The Great Awakening was one and two.
06:01Fantastic.
06:03The Welsh Revival.
06:04The Azusa Street Revival.
06:05The Scottish Revival.
06:07The Fuller Revival in New York.
06:09Wow.
06:10Then you have recently college revivals.
06:13There's been some kind of an outpouring of the Holy Ghost on colleges.
06:16The Ashbury Revival, for example, popped up a year or so ago.
06:21That was the third time Ashbury's had a revival like that.
06:24Really interesting.
06:25The first one was back in the early 1900s or late 1800s.
06:29I forgot.
06:30Sorry about that.
06:32And then you look at the people that sparked these revivals.
06:34The Azusa Street Revival.
06:36A total nobody and a nothing.
06:38Bill Seymour.
06:40The Welsh Revival.
06:42Another very flawed human being, Evan Roberts.
06:45Just nothing special there.
06:48Then God sent around a bunch of revivalists to spark revivals,
06:54Wesley and Finney.
06:56Edwards, Whitfield.
06:58Later on, Billy Sunday.
07:00Billy Graham in his early days.
07:03And he would send these evangelists around,
07:05kind of trying to spark mini-revivals.
07:07You know, small campfires kicking in.
07:11And that's what we're going to be doing this Thursday,
07:14starting a mini-revival at the Arizona Deliverance Center.
07:17I've never had a revival there before,
07:19so I can't wait for the thing to start.
07:23And really looking forward to learning a lot in this revival.
07:26It's going to be fantastic.
07:29Let's go back to the greatest revival in history.
07:31You know what it was.
07:34The birth of the church.
07:37Jesus told his disciples before he went back to heaven,
07:41carry in the city of Jerusalem until you be endued with power from on high.
07:47You shall receive power after that the Holy Ghost has come upon you,
07:50and you shall be witnesses to me into the uttermost parts of the earth,
07:54all over the place.
07:56And then Jesus said,
07:57this gospel must be preached throughout all the entire world,
08:01and then the end shall come.
08:05Now, of course, there's a giant revival occurs during the tribulation,
08:08thank God, before the end and before the second coming.
08:13But right now we're not there yet.
08:15The tribulation is only a few years away now.
08:17You need to be getting ready to go.
08:20That's one of the reasons we're having a revival,
08:22is to help people get ready for the upcoming tribulation.
08:26It's only a few years away now.
08:29But you know, on the day of Pentecost, remember that?
08:34Yeah, he lifted up his voice.
08:36Pentecost Day is a Greek word that means 50 or 50th.
08:4250 days after the waving of the sheaves in the Old Testament.
08:45Leviticus chapter 23, 50 days after that was the harvest.
08:49And this is harvest time now.
08:52You can jump in if you want to.
08:55Peter stood there, this verse 14, Acts chapter 2,
08:58the biggest revival in history.
09:00Here it is.
09:01It'll be eclipsed during the tribulation, but up to then, this is it.
09:05This is the biggest one ever happened.
09:07Peter stood up with the 11.
09:09He lifted up his voice and said to them,
09:11you men of Judea and all that dwell at Jerusalem,
09:14be this known to you and hearken unto my words,
09:18for these are not drunken people as you suppose,
09:21but it is but the third hour of the day.
09:26Right?
09:27Three o'clock in the afternoon.
09:29But this is that which is spoken of by the prophet Joel.
09:33And here's where this thing hits.
09:36If you look, Joel's predicted this revival,
09:43and Peter quotes it in Acts chapter 2.
09:47This is that spoken of by the prophet Joel.
09:50That was Joel chapter 2.
09:52This is Acts chapter 2.
09:53Easy to remember.
09:55It will come to pass in the last days, says the Lord,
09:57I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh,
09:59and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy.
10:03Your young men will see visions.
10:08Your old men shall dream dreams.
10:09On my servants and on my handmaidens
10:13will I pour out of the spirit in those days,
10:17and they shall prophesy.
10:20Now, servant is doulos.
10:23A doulos is a slave.
10:25A handmaiden is a doulet.
10:28A doulet is a female slave.
10:32Do you notice that people who get the Holy Ghost poured out
10:35on them are trusted servants or slaves of the master?
10:42Back in the day when people had slaves here
10:45in the United States, back in the Middle East,
10:49I mean, everybody's had slaves forever.
10:53Slavery is just part of humanity.
10:57Your trusted slaves, your most trusted slaves,
11:01were the ones that were allowed in your house.
11:04The other slaves worked in the barns, the factories,
11:08the fields, and so on.
11:10But the most trusted slaves worked in the house.
11:16And they had to have a track record of being trustworthy.
11:21Trustworthy.
11:23And this is what God is talking about.
11:26My servants, my slaves, both male and female,
11:31doulos and doulet, I will pour out my spirit,
11:38and they shall prophesy.
11:41Utterly amazing, this massive revival
11:44took place in Jerusalem.
11:47And it was overrunning the city.
11:49The scribes, the Pharisees, and the Sadducees
11:51were beside themselves.
11:52They couldn't believe what was happening,
11:55that the Lord Jesus had come back to bite them, so to speak.
11:59And they were absolutely stunned.
12:02And they had to do something about it, and the devil told them,
12:05look, you can't let this thing continue.
12:07You've got to stop it.
12:09And if you look back over history,
12:12all these revivals I mentioned, plus there's
12:14dozens more I didn't mention today,
12:16I've just taken a random sample here,
12:19all of these revivals were snuffed out by the devil.
12:22Every single one of them.
12:24The tribulation revival is a different story,
12:27but I'm talking about up to the tribulation.
12:30All these revivals, every single one of them, got snuffed out.
12:35Revivals are, by nature, temporary.
12:38As soon as the revival breaks out,
12:42Satan sends in hordes of demons and fallen angels
12:45to stop the revival.
12:49But in this case, it backfired on him.
12:51He figured, look, I'll start persecuting
12:53these people in Jerusalem.
12:56I'll blow them away.
12:59And they'll give up and quit.
13:01Well, he didn't know he was getting played
13:03by the Holy Ghost again.
13:06And everybody started to run.
13:11And that was God's plan.
13:14He had set up the revival here in Jerusalem,
13:16but he wanted to spread it.
13:18And the only way to get the Christians
13:20to leave the glory of the revival
13:23was to send them persecution, which forced them out.
13:27It forced them out.
13:28And then you have what we have today.
13:31And what we've seen over the years
13:33is these satellite revivals breaking out here and there.
13:37And the devil got beat again.
13:41He lost again.
13:44He always loses.
13:46And here it goes.
13:47As Philip, remember when I said about Seymour and Evan Roberts
13:52and all these other people, most of them
13:56are nothings and nobodies.
13:58Most of them are failures and losers.
14:00And God renovates them.
14:01And they get this massive outpouring of the Holy Ghost
14:05because they remain faithful.
14:07And they were learned to be an overcomer.
14:09And God could trust them.
14:11God doesn't give out his gifts to people
14:14unless he can trust them.
14:17So he looks at your character.
14:18He looks at your integrity.
14:19He takes a peek inside your soul.
14:22And he wants to know if he can trust you.
14:25If he can trust you, if he knows you'll
14:29take care of his precious gifts, which are priceless,
14:33he's going to start giving you stuff.
14:36Well, it happened here.
14:37Now we have these mini revivals sparking up,
14:41like I mentioned earlier.
14:43Verse 5 in Acts chapter 8, Philip
14:45went down to the city of Samaria and preached Christ to them.
14:50And the people, with one accord, gave heed to what Philip said,
14:55hearing and seeing the, what?
14:58Samean miracles he did.
15:01Unclean spirits.
15:04Crying, Greek word bo'o, means to bellow or howl.
15:12Bellowing with loud voices came out
15:16of many that were possessed with them.
15:19Greek word dimonizomite, excuse me,
15:22the Greek word is echo, in the grip of the people that
15:26were in the grip of these spirits.
15:28And many with palsies, parallel, people
15:34who had spinal cord injuries, and those that were lame,
15:40kolas is the Greek word for lame,
15:42means somebody who limps, somebody who limps.
15:47They were healed.
15:49And there was great joy in the city.
15:50Well, yeah, there's great joy.
15:51Whenever the Holy Ghost shows up, you can believe two things.
15:55Number one, when he's done, there's
15:57going to be all kinds of joy.
15:58And number two, the devil's going to get his face kicked in.
16:02And you know the rest of the story
16:04there, that Philip had this enormous revival breakout.
16:13And it was so effective, it got back to Jerusalem.
16:18Well, the apostles that heard about it in Jerusalem
16:21bolted down there to Samaria to make sure
16:25they had received the baptism of the Holy Spirit.
16:29Because apparently at that time, Philip was not focusing on that.
16:33He was focusing on healing and deliverance and salvation.
16:37So the apostles apparently had heard or something,
16:40something motivated them to go down there.
16:43And the people were not getting filled with the Holy Ghost.
16:46So they went down there.
16:47And then they laid their hands on them.
16:49And the Holy Spirit would come upon them.
16:52And they would start flowing in glosa.
16:55That's the Greek word for tongues.
16:57It means a language you didn't learn, glosa.
17:01And the people would get filled with the Holy Spirit.
17:03And then they would become mini evangelists, so to speak.
17:06And they go from here to there to here to there.
17:08All born-again Christians, if you're born again,
17:10are supposed to be a mini evangelist.
17:13You're supposed to be a fire starter.
17:15Right?
17:16Have you ever seen those fire starters you buy?
17:18I got one at True Value.
17:21You click it, and it lights at the end of it.
17:26Weird.
17:27Yeah, a lot better than magic.
17:30Well, that's what you're supposed to be.
17:31You're a fire starter.
17:32Boom.
17:33Boom.
17:34Boom.
17:35And that's what we're going to try to do at the revival,
17:37starting Thursday nights.
17:40Call me for details, 602-636-5800.
17:43Thursday night, we start the revival.
17:45And you are to be converted from a born-again Christian
17:50into a fire starter.
17:52That's your job.
17:55You're a fire starter.
17:58And that's what's going to happen.
18:00That's on top of, of course, people
18:03that will be healed and delivered from demons
18:05during this revival.
18:06It's really going to be remarkable.
18:08The fruit we're going to see out of this revival
18:10is really going to be mind-boggling.
18:13And that's what happened in Jerusalem,
18:16and that's what happened to the evangelists.
18:19They went out into the communities.
18:22And the same thing happened in the United States
18:25and England and Scotland and so on.
18:27These evangelists would go out, spark a mini revival.
18:32They were fire starters.
18:35And then later on, the devil would come in
18:37and quash the thing.
18:39And that's a normal pattern.
18:42You don't not do a revival because the devil sooner
18:45or later is going to quash it.
18:46No, you don't do that.
18:48Here's how it works.
18:49During a revival, you gather in this many souls.
18:53But over a period of time, tribulation, trials,
18:56and persecution, that group whittles down to that.
19:00There it is.
19:01There's the results of your revival.
19:04Can you see me?
19:05It's right there.
19:07That's all you've got left.
19:08But that's enough to keep the spark fire starting system
19:13going.
19:15Right.
19:16Exactly.
19:18A similar scenario occurs with Luis Palau and Billy Graham.
19:22They kept track of their converts.
19:24They would get this many converts, thousands of them.
19:29And then six months or a year later,
19:32they would do follow-up research.
19:34And they only had that many left.
19:38All the other ones had scattered.
19:41Yeah, it scatters.
19:43And the system, of course, is the same
19:46as being born again at a church and turning your life over
19:49to the Lord.
19:50You've got enormous enthusiasm.
19:52Your first love is booming.
19:55You're massively in love with God.
19:57And then over a period of time, trials, tribulations,
20:00heartaches, sorrows, different things come into your life.
20:03And oops, the joy of the Lord kind of whittles down to that.
20:12And so God knows that.
20:15Yeah, God knows that.
20:18The Holy Ghost revival could be a bowling strike.
20:25It could be when you split a pair.
20:30You get a pair split in bowling.
20:33And then you throw the ball.
20:35Maybe you'll get one of them.
20:37And sometimes that's how it works.
20:39You get a whole bunch of pins knocked down on the first bowl.
20:44And you miss on the second one.
20:47And that's how revivals work.
20:49Because the devil, he freaks out when the Holy Ghost is poured out.
20:53Because number one, he can't stop it.
20:55There's nothing he can do to stop it.
20:57All he does is take a beating.
20:59But then he comes in with trials, tribulations, pressures, and so on.
21:03And then the people start to scatter.
21:07And then the quality of the Christian drops to here.
21:11Then you only have this small core group of fire starters
21:16who are able to replicate it.
21:19That's how the system works.
21:21All revivals are the same.
21:24The Azusa Street revival.
21:27Here's the great thing.
21:28Started by a nothing and a nobody.
21:30The Samaritan revival, Acts chapter 8,
21:33started by a nothing and a nobody.
21:35This Philip guy was a table server during the Pentecost revival.
21:43He was a table server.
21:46He wasn't some great doctor of the law or some minister.
21:49No.
21:50The guy was bussing tables, cleaning up food, sweeping,
21:57delivering food, serving food, washing cups, bowls, washing.
22:03He was a table server.
22:06See?
22:07But the problem is,
22:10your ability to get a revival just for yourself
22:14is almost impossible.
22:15Why?
22:17Why is that?
22:19Yeah, you've got to pay the price for it.
22:21You've got to be willing to become a table server.
22:24And Philip saw that, and he had no problem with it.
22:28He was bussing tables,
22:30and he watched his friend, Stephen,
22:34get there before him.
22:37And he saw how God poured out his spirit upon Stephen.
22:42And that planted in Philip's mind.
22:45He saw that.
22:48And he replicated it later.
22:52See?
22:54You've got to remember that Bill Seymour,
22:56the Zusa Street revival,
22:58this guy was a nothing and a nobody.
23:00He was blind in one eye.
23:03Not a genius, not an Elon Musk.
23:06No, just, you know, there wasn't much there.
23:08But listen, you and the Holy Ghost
23:11become an unstoppable force
23:14regardless of your lack of assets.
23:18If you lack assets,
23:20that is no problemo to God
23:26because he has all the assets you'll ever need.
23:29And so, Philip, a nothing and a nobody,
23:34became a fire starter.
23:39Seymour, a nothing and a nobody,
23:42started the incredible Zusa Street revival.
23:46And this thing was so big, it was unbelievable.
23:48It swept across the United States.
23:51It truly did.
23:52It was freaky.
23:54And guess what happened?
23:57Right, the devil took a look at that
23:59and said, hey, we're not doing that.
24:02No way.
24:05Moved in, smashed the revival.
24:08The little Zusa Street church
24:10was down to about 10 people.
24:13And poor Bill was sitting there in the church
24:16during the services practically by himself.
24:20The devil wiped him out.
24:23Was that a reason to not do it?
24:25No, of course not.
24:27No, absolutely not.
24:30The number of fire starters that came out of the Zusa Street,
24:33you can't even imagine it.
24:35It was so big.
24:37And Seymour didn't realize it until after his death.
24:40And he got to heaven and saw all the productivity
24:43of the Zusa Street revival.
24:48So if you're a nothing and a nobody,
24:50you got no assets, no money, no popularity,
24:52no personality, no charisma, no nothing,
24:56baby, you are lined up perfectly for God.
25:01Yeah.
25:04What are you, an addict, criminal, felon?
25:07What are you?
25:09Okay.
25:10Well, I'll tell you what, friend,
25:11if you'll repent of your sins
25:13and give everything you have to God.
25:16I hate to quote Kathryn Kuhlman now,
25:18but she, again, was another one of these evangelists
25:21who went around fire starting.
25:24She said when she came to God, she looked up to heaven
25:27and she said, Lord, I don't have anything.
25:29I have nothing.
25:31And if you'll take nothing, I'll give you all I have.
25:36And the Lord said, that's exactly what I need,
25:39somebody, but nothing.
25:44Yeah.
25:45If you got, have you got nothing?
25:47Oh, man, you got to start signing autographs.
25:51You've been diagnosed mentally, oh, friend,
25:53you're going to be healed and delivered.
25:55All you got to do is repent of your sins, renew your mind,
25:59change your behavior, and the spirit of God will pour out.
26:04I will pour out my spirit upon my slaves, male slaves,
26:10dulas, female slaves, dulay.
26:16I will pour out my spirit.
26:18That's how you do it.
26:20That's how revivals start.
26:22Repent.
26:23People change.
26:26Oh, brother Mike, I'm not doing any bad sinning anymore.
26:29I don't sleep with anybody.
26:31I don't rob, rape, or steal anymore.
26:33Those are good.
26:34That's good news, but that's not going to get you a revival.
26:38You got to change the way you think.
26:40You got to repent in your mind.
26:42You got to stop taking offenses.
26:45You got to stop living on negative thoughts
26:47and nourishing them and blessing them and rehearsing them
26:50over and over and over.
26:53You got to apologize to the people you've hurt over the years
26:57because you won't get an apology back, and you don't need one.
27:01God forgave you, so he requires you to forgive others.
27:05You got to go around on an apology tour.
27:08I'm so sorry.
27:10I'm a drunk, and I'm an idiot.
27:12I acted like a fool.
27:14I was wrong.
27:16Man, the Spirit of God will hear you say that, and wow.
27:22My goodness.
27:25You got to understand something, friend.
27:27Listen to me carefully.
27:28I preach this all the time.
27:29I don't know why it's not common knowledge in Christianity.
27:33Nobody's listening to me, of course.
27:36God uses flawed people.
27:40Every one of these evangelists, all of them.
27:45Evan Roberts.
27:47What happened to that guy?
27:48God, it turned out horrible.
27:52Alexander Dowie.
27:53What happened to him?
27:54Ah, that thing turned out horrible.
27:57Amy Simple McPherson.
27:58What happened to her?
28:00Ow.
28:01Turned out bad.
28:05A.A. Allen.
28:06What happened to him?
28:07Ow.
28:08Turned out bad.
28:11But before that, they were highly blessed
28:14and highly anointed people used by God because mercy,
28:23mercy overcame their lives.
28:29Yeah.
28:30A lot of people ended badly, and it happens.
28:36That's what happens when you're working
28:38with people who have flaws.
28:42People who have flaws.
28:44Never let that hold you back.
28:46Never let that discourage you, because God specializes
28:51in people who have flaws.
28:58Yeah, and Chris just brought up something on the podcast
29:00right here, talking about Kathryn Kuhlman.
29:03Yeah, as I just said, God uses people with flaws.
29:07The devil came to her and hit her hard
29:10because she was lonely, and she wanted love.
29:13And she always dreamed of being married
29:15to a husband, a family, and all these different things
29:19in her mind.
29:20And she got sucked in by demons into marrying somebody she
29:24shouldn't marry.
29:26And she repented within, I don't know what it was, 10 or 12
29:29months or something like that.
29:31Anyway, she repented of that.
29:32She got rid of him and went back into the ministry.
29:36She was single the rest of her life.
29:39Yeah.
29:40Again, people make mistakes, and people are flawed.
29:44Don't let that stop you.
29:48You and I cannot count, literally,
29:51the number of people that got saved and healed
29:54in Kathryn Kuhlman's ministry after she repented
29:59of the marriage and after she came back to God.
30:05God forgave her, and the anointing
30:08was greater than ever.
30:10So you can fail, and you can have a bad history.
30:15You may have a bad bloodline.
30:16You may have a rotten family tree.
30:19OK, join the club.
30:21Not a lot of celebrities out here.
30:24I mean, I kind of should be a celebrity.
30:26I don't know why I'm not.
30:27But I'm not, and that's my fate in life.
30:31That's the way that worked.
30:34Yeah, you and nothing and a nobody?
30:37Oh, man, congratulations.
30:38Read 1 Corinthians chapter 1 and just repent of your sin.
30:43OK?
30:44Just repent of your sin.
30:46OK?
30:47And God will bless you, because he can trust you.
30:52King David was a man after his own heart.
30:54Why was that?
30:55Because he was such a perfect man.
30:56He always followed the Lord and did everything right.
30:58Are you kidding?
30:59What are you?
31:01I'm talking like I'm on crack.
31:03King David was the Peter of the Old Testament,
31:06a certified screw-up.
31:08Guy had a card in his wallet.
31:10I'm a screw-up.
31:12He was notarized.
31:14No, what made him a man after God's own heart?
31:17He repented.
31:20He made mistakes.
31:21He screwed up.
31:22And he cared enough to repent of his sin
31:28and apologize to God and tell him how sorry he was.
31:36Listen, for some reason, I'm the only person
31:38that knows these things.
31:39And I don't know why.
31:41If you do a little research, it just pops right out at you.
31:44But at the Arizona Deliverance Center,
31:47that's exactly what I do.
31:49I try to find somebody who's kind of a nothing,
31:52a nobody, a total loser.
31:55People who have been divorced, drug addicts, drunks,
31:58whatever it is.
32:00And I give them a chance to be in the ministry.
32:03And this many people I let in, and then I end up
32:06with this many, which is the same process of a revival.
32:12You get this many people saved and healed
32:14and delivered at your revival.
32:16But in the end, you kind of end up with this amount.
32:19That's perfectly normal.
32:20You don't get discouraged over that.
32:22It doesn't even faze me.
32:24I've been around so many years.
32:26I've seen this replicate itself so many times.
32:29It doesn't bother me the least.
32:32I do that exact same thing I saw in 1 Corinthians 1.
32:35I try to find people who kind of have nothing.
32:41You know, as Cool Hand Luke once said,
32:45nothing's a pretty good hand to have.
32:49That's what he had when he kept kicking it a buck.
32:52Kick a buck.
32:53Kick a buck.
32:55You say, Brother Mike, you've lost your mind now.
32:58You're quoting the lines out of a movie
33:00nobody's ever heard of.
33:01Well, that's true.
33:03As an old person, I did watch Cool Hand Luke.
33:06Paul Newman was in it.
33:08Yep, and he became the leader of his prison
33:12simply because of his behavior.
33:13People watched him behave, and they said,
33:16Man, this guy appears to be a nothing and a nobody,
33:19but actually, he's a great leader.
33:22And every time they raised him, he'd kick it a buck.
33:27And pretty soon, the guy folded.
33:30They looked at his hand, and he had nothing.
33:33He had nothing.
33:34He didn't even have a pair.
33:35He just had a collection of cards that were worthless.
33:38That's you, friend.
33:39I just described you.
33:40You are perfectly, perfectly suited
33:44for a Holy Ghost revival.
33:47And if you don't believe me, look at the Pentecost revival,
33:51the greatest one in history.
33:52Peter was a card-carrying imbecile.
33:58He was a gasping loser.
34:00He had to be restored after the resurrection.
34:03Jesus had to take him aside.
34:06He couldn't take Judas aside because Judas had committed suicide.
34:10Peter didn't commit suicide.
34:11He just went back fishing.
34:15And then Jesus asked him three times,
34:18Do you love me?
34:20First two times, do you love me?
34:21Agape.
34:23Do you love me?
34:24Agape.
34:25Third time, do you love me?
34:26Phileo.
34:27Do you like me?
34:31Peter said, of course I love you.
34:32Of course I love you.
34:33And then he got upset a third time
34:36because Jesus only asked him,
34:37Well, if you don't love me, do you like me?
34:40That broke him.
34:42And then Jesus gave me his commission.
34:46Strengthen your brethren.
34:48God's given you that commission today.
34:50Listen to this podcast.
34:52Yes, sir.
34:53You're a privileged person to listen to the podcast.
34:57I made that up, but what I am saying now is important.
35:01You are perfectly suited for a Holy Ghost revival.
35:08This is your time.
35:09We only got a few more years left.
35:11Tribulation is going to be upon us.
35:13The second coming.
35:15Seven years after that.
35:16I mean, this this thing's starting to wrap.
35:21It's wrapping up, friends.
35:25And you're to be a revivalist of some kind.
35:28Could be Philip.
35:30Could be Peter.
35:31Could be a massive revival at one spot.
35:33It could be satellite.
35:35Fire starters, whatever it is, is great.
35:39Either way is wonderful.
35:41It's all wonderful.
35:42Anything involving the Holy Ghost.
35:44Wonderful.
35:47I will see you Thursday night.
35:50The start of the revival.
35:52It's going to be awesome.
35:54I'll be doing some cleanup at the revival.
35:56I'll be doing work in the altars at the revival.
35:59We got some great speakers lined up.
36:03And the people are getting healed and delivered from demons.
36:07Thursday, Friday, Saturday.
36:10Man, you're not going to believe it.
36:13It's going to be the hot spot of the state of Arizona.
36:17No question.
36:20Thursday, Friday, Saturday.
36:22Boom.
36:24And the incredible joy I will have
36:27is seeing these people get healed and delivered.
36:29That's my number one reason for being in the ministry.
36:33I don't get any money from it.
36:34I don't get any fame from it, nor do I get any glory.
36:37I get none of those things
36:39because I was never looking for any of those things.
36:42What I was looking for is you.
36:46You are what I was interested in from day one.
36:52I've never gotten any fame.
36:54I never got any glory.
36:55I've never been paid any money out of the ministry.
36:58Never took a penny.
37:00Neither did my wife.
37:01We don't get any salaries.
37:03We don't get paid.
37:05But I do get paid like you wouldn't even believe.
37:09And I may be one of the richest people
37:11in the entire United States.
37:13I get to see the Holy Ghost move.
37:18That makes me some rich person, friend.
37:21Yes, sir.
37:22I am rich.
37:24All right.
37:26Now, here's what we're all doing.
37:28We're all working in this life.
37:31And we all have our birth names.
37:35My name means nothing.
37:39I mean, it's pathetic.
37:42Mike Smith.
37:43Are you kidding me?
37:44That's an absolutely worthless name.
37:48But I'm not looking for my name.
37:52I'm looking for a new name written down in glory.
37:56And it's mine.
37:58And it's mine.
38:01All of us.
38:02If we make it to the judgment seat of Christ
38:06and we make it to our heavenly home.
38:09If we do.
38:10Obviously, not everybody's going to make it.
38:12But if we do,
38:15we get a new name
38:18to describe
38:21exactly who we really are.
38:26We get a new name.
38:28Okay?
38:29And that's what we're striving for.
38:31Not glory or money or fame or fort.
38:35None of those things.
38:36We are looking for a new name
38:40written down in glory.
38:42And it's mine, friend.
38:44Oh, yes, it's mine.
38:45And the white robed angels sing the story.
38:48A sinner has come home.
38:53Give me a call.
38:54602-636-5800.
38:56Send me an email.
38:57Mike at HardcoreChristianity.com.
39:00It's time for the revival.
39:02I'll see you there.
39:18You
