they're here with you senior leader at the awakening House of Prayer in South
Florida author of many many many books and you probably know me if you're
watching this broadcast if you're listening in you've probably heard of me
you're probably following my ministry and I've got something I want to share
with you that's on my heart tonight regarding Billy Graham's prayer mantle
so I'm going to pray I want to open this broadcast up in prayer but I'm gonna
dive into this quick message to just cast some visions share what's on my
heart I think this is going to be really interesting for many people in Tampa
many people in Florida North Carolina and beyond so father I thank you that
you give us ears to hear God what you're saying to your church in this hour god
help us to see know and understand reveal to us your will with regard to
the prayer movement the evangelism movement God your will be done your
kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven god help us today to really really hear
your heart with regards intersession for this nation for our state's for our
cities for our families for our schools for the seven mountains of society God
would you help us today to press in in Jesus name Amen amen amen
listen I want to talk to you about Billy Graham for just a moment now what is it
what there's so much going on in the prayer movement right now listen the
prayer movement is shifting the prayer movement is changing you see that Mike
Bickle has made a massive announcement about I hop there will be no more one
thing conferences for several years we're not sure if there will ever be any
more conferences that I hope right now they're shifting they have a word of the
Lord they're shifting there they're not stopping praying but they're shifting
their focus is shifting Lou Engel has stopped the call he has shifted to the
send which is evangelistic in nature you know when Billy Graham passed away the
Lord showed me that many people will be talking about Billy Graham's evangelism
mental and I think that's appropriate I think that's accurate
you know we do leave in metals we live in partitions we
passed the baton so to speak we train up others raise them up to do the work of
the minister to complete this the assignment that God has given us the
assignment continues until Jesus comes back so many were praying and talking
about Billy Graham's mantle and Lou Engel says he received Billy Graham's
mental nod he's not saying he's the only one that received it we see Todd while
I'm here in Dallas listen I've been all day locked up in a room with about 40
prophets and part of the apostolic council prophetic elder but with Cindy
Jacobs and James gall and and and those sorts of people all day long
props I'm praying worshiping the Lord Lou Ingalls not saying he's the only one
that has it but many people have it so you know many people have this this
mantle was there for the picking up but what I wrote listen what I wrote the
article I wrote when Billy Graham passed away did not focus on his evangelism
mantle it focused on his prayer mantle see we know very well that Billy Graham
in the last many many many years of his life focused on prayer he was no longer
actively evangelizing in massive stadiums he was no longer doing the
Crusades he was focusing on praying for people praying for presidents praying
for our nation he shifted his ministry listen to me now this is vital he
shifted Billy Graham shifted his ministry in the last part of his life
unto intercession and so while somebody needs to pick up the evangelism mantle I
agree we know his grandson his daughter his son the men even his family I picked
it up listen there remains a void in the prayer movement Lou Engel
I know his people are still praying don't get me wrong I'm not insinuating
that they're not still praying they're still praying but wow I just had a
revelation my god wow I'm sorry I had a dream with Lou Engel in it a few weeks
ago and it just hit me what it's about and now I've got to call him and let him
know my goodness forgive me I digress so I was focusing on
billy graham's intercession intersession mantle well she was very effective
many believe that when he left judgment will fall in america now that hasn't
happened but listen so so there's a prayer void because we're seeing a lot
of smaller part ministries lose their focus we're seeing some larger prayer
ministries shift their attention and so there's somewhat of a void what you
don't know though is that billy graham started his ministry in tampa did you
know that Billy Graham actually just to me may have read at the newspaper
Billy Graham started his ministry in Tampa that's where he attended the
Florida Bible Institute in Temple Terrace which is a city in which my
mother used to work it's a suburb Tampa that's 15 miles east of Tampa he was
there from 1937 to 1940 in his Flitton his first preaching opportunities came
in small churches and on street corners in Tampa at that time in the 30s and the
40s it was during that time that he received his calling and he committed
his life to proclaiming the gospel can you imagine this happened in Tampa
there's a mantle to be picked up for prayer in Tampa not just Tampa I'm
focusing on Tampa a lot tonight because I'm here to cast a vision about an
awakening House of Prayer in Tampa so you know I've been doing meetings and
you say this I grew up in Tampa sometime I was five until the time I was 19 I
lived in Tampa what is that it's almost 15 years I lived in Tampa I don't live
far from Tampa now I lived down at Fort Lauderdale and I go back to Tampa now
and again I grew up there I went to elementary school there I went to middle
school there I went to high school there and I went to cut part of my college
education was there in Tampa so Tampa very near and dear to my heart you live
on singing court place in town and country if you have any idea whether
it's a lot different now than it was back then back then it was a full
brand-new houses you know brand-new housing developments now some of its
kind of run-down but that's where I grew up in Tampa and I've been doing meetings
in Tampa now for a while I've been there I've done a handful of meetings I've
done a few ignite meetings and I've also done
a prayer movement called awakening blaze so we have a small prayer group there
that meets in the blick law firm there in Tampa and so I'm very invested in
Tampa and I've been pressing I've been praying you know we've lost awakening
house of prayers now of course our home base is in Fort
Lauderdale our second one was in Atlanta we're launching in Perth Australia
Mississippi Northwest Arkansas and it goes on from there this is discusses
breathing on this awakening House of Prayer why I believe because we're
moving deeper into the end times and Tampa is my old stomping grounds Tampa
is my hometown so I'm very interested in Tampa I've been doing meetings there all
year long and the Lord told me believe it was the last time I did a meeting
there no is the second to the last time it was two times ago the Lord told me
listen the Lord told me that Tampa is the tuning fork Tampa is the tuning fork
and so you know that means that if things are calibrated there's that
there's a sound it's tuning the state so there's something very significant about
Tampa and we know that Tampa is poised for revival and we know that there's
good and bad in Tampa you're their 20% poverty rate in Tampa that's not good we
need to pray there's there's a there's a crime rate that's higher than sixty-one
percent of the state's cities and towns there's a high crime rate in Tampa
that's not good we need to pray about that there's a lot
of those a lot up there's there's a big homelessness problem in Tampa that's not
good we need to pray about that there's many problems in Tampa that we see in
many other cities there's also problems that are unique to Tampa but at the same
time Tampa is a great place to live it ranked so one of the best large cities
to live top 20 in wallet hub survey and it ranks third in among cities to retire
it rot eight of Tampa's of schools in Hillsborough County ranked among the top
and the nation so it's a great place to live there's good and there's bad but
again this is where Billy Graham got his start in ministry I believe that Tampa
has a great destiny not just an evangelism
but in prayer in revival you know when you mix prayer and evangelist
you'll get revival amen I'm not just after revival anymore I'm after
Reformation I want to see not just a goose bump I want to see not just a move
of God within the four walls of the church but I want to see cities
transformed I want to see the glory of God
infiltrate cities I want to see bars closed I want to see abortion clinic
shut down I want to see God do what only he can do so we are launching listen to
me now we are launching an awakening House of Prayer in Tampa and I would
love for you to be a part of it I called this special event tonight just to be
with you for a few moments to let you know we will be launching in Tampa now
