- [Narrator] Be revived in the face of evil.
No doubt there is so much decay
going on around the world today.
These evils are so shocking
that they almost make your heart skip.
However, if you are spiritually sensitive,
you will also sense that the spirit of God
is moving mightily across the earth at this moment.
Men have become conspirators with evil,
aligning themselves to do the bidding of demonic forces
and helping to hold other humans captive.
People have rejected the truth and replaced it with lies.
The God shaped vacuum in the hearts of men
has been replaced with worthless pursuits
that are empty and futile.
Jeremiah Six AMP says, thus says the Lord,
stand by the roads and look,
ask for the ancient paths where the good way is,
then walk in it and you will find rest for your souls,
but they said, we will not walk in it.
I have set watch men, prophets over you saying,
listen, and pay attention
to the warning sound of the trumpet,
but they said, we will not listen.
As believers, it is time to fight
and take back the earth for the father's glory.
The devil doesn't own the earth,
so he can't keep occupying legally
while we watch helplessly.
First Corinthians 10:26 KJV says,
for the earth is the Lords and the fullness thereof.
It is time to be strong, it is revival time,
time to work the work that will change the world
and rescue God's people.
Second Chronicles 15:7 AMP says,
but as for you be strong and do not lose courage
for there is reward for your work.
It is a season of work for God's people.
So what is the essential work when we are revived?
Number one, salvation of souls.
Zephaniah 3:17, the Lord your God is in your midst.
A warrior who saves.
He will rejoice over you with joy.
He will be quiet in his love,
making no mention of your past sins.
He will rejoice over you with shouts of joy.
I will gather those Israelites in captivity,
who grieve about the appointed feasts.
They came from you Oh Zion,
on whom the reproach of exile is a burden.
Behold, at that time,
I am going to deal with all your oppressors.
I will save the lame and gather the scattered,
and I will turn their shame into praise
and renown in every land where they have suffered.
At that time, I will bring you in.
Yes, at the time I gather you together.
For I will make you a name and a praise
among all the peoples of the earth
when I restore your fortunes and freedom
before your eyes, says the Lord.
God has promised that he will deal with the oppressors
and rescue his people.
Therefore, we must join him in this season
to bring the lost to the kingdom.
You went forth for the salvation of your people,
for the salvation and rescue
of your anointed people, Israel.
You struck the head from the house of the wicked
to lay him open from the thigh to the neck.
Selah, pause and calmly. Think of that.
Habakkuk, 3:13 AMP, he is the Lord of the harvest.
And we are his field agents,
assigned to pray or speak to the people.
And as the holy spirit convicts and converts them,
we then bring them into Zion to be taught his ways.
Mark 16:15.
And he said to them, go into all the world
and preach the gospel to all creation.
He who has believed in me and has been baptized
will be saved from the penalty of God's wrath and judgment.
But he who has not believed will be condemned.
These signs will accompany those who have believed.
In my name they will cast out demons.
They will speak in new tongues.
They will pick up serpents.
And if they drink anything deadly, it will not hurt them.
They will lay hands on the sick and they will get well.
So then, when the Lord Jesus had spoken to them,
he was taken up into heaven
and sat down at the right hand of God.
And they went out and preached everywhere
while the Lord was working with them
and confirming the word by the signs that followed.
Number two, we must continue to pray
earnestly for radical change
in the realm of the spirit and dislodge the rulers
of the darkness of this world.
From controlling the affairs of nations
and manipulating decisions
in favor of the kingdom of darkness.
Ephesians 6:10, finally, my brethren be strong in the Lord
and in the power of his might.
Put on the whole armor of God that ye may be able to stand
against the wiles of the devil.
For we wrestle, not against flesh and blood,
but against principalities, against powers,
against the rulers of the darkness of this world,
against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Wherefore take onto you the whole armor of God
that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day
and having done all to stand.
Stand, therefore, having your loins girt about with truth
and having on the breastplate of righteousness
and your feet shod with the preparation
of the gospel of peace.
Above all, taking the shield of faith,
where with the shall be able
to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked
and take the helmet of salvation
and the sword of the spirit, which is the word of God.
Praying always with all prayer
and supplication in the spirit
and watching there unto with all perseverance
and supplication for all saints.
He encourages us to ask him for a wave of salvation,
in Psalms 2:8.
Ask of me, and I will sure they give you
the nations as your inheritance
and the ends of the earth as your possession.
You shall break them with a rod of iron.
You shall shatter them in pieces like earthenware.
And in Matthew 16:19 KJV, Jesus says,
verily I say unto you, whatsoever ye shall bind on earth
shall be bound in heaven.
And whatsoever you shall loose on earth
shall be loosed in heaven.
Again, I say unto you
that if two of you shall agree on earth
as touching anything that they shall ask,
it shall be done for them of my father, which is in heaven.
Together as we pray, we can be a part
of such a unique move of the spirit for this generation,
for where two or three are gathered together in my name,
there am I in the midst of them, Matthew 18:18.
It is evident that the world is under a very strong,
demonic influence addictions, selflessness,
lust in different works of hell are springing forth
to disrupt the life of humans
and even threatening our existence.
Yes, the devil is influencing so much,
but the devil doesn't own the world, God does.
And we're God's representatives here on earth.
We can't watch the devil takeover
while God's people sit and wish things to go away.
Just like Paul said in First Timothy 6:12, KJV,
fight the good fight of faith,
lay hold on eternal life, where one too thou art also called
and hast professed a good profession
before many witnesses.
We must find for our world and the souls of men.
Even the church of God, Christ's body,
has come under serious attack and persecution.
It is obvious that the world doesn't just want
to hold sinners in the bondage of sin.
It also wants to wheel the control on the body of Christ.
Isaiah 24 KJV says, the earth is utterly broken down.
The earth is cleaned, dissolved.
The earth is moved exceedingly.
The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard
and shall be removed like a cottage.
And the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it.
And it shall fall and not rise again.
And it shall come to pass in that day,
that the Lord shall punish the host of the high ones
that are on high and the Kings of the earth upon the earth.
And they shall be gathered together
as prisoners are gathered in the pit
and shall be shut up in the prison.
And after many days, shall they visited,
then the moon shall be confined and the sun ashamed.
And when the Lord of hosts shall reign and Mount Zion
and in Jerusalem and before his ancients gloriously,
the move of God has started, but God's people need to pray,
prophesy and lay hold on victory.
Why, for whatsoever is born of God overcomes the world.
And this is the victory that overcomes the world,
even our faith.
So you see, even though we are predestined
to win over all these evils,
we still have to apply our faith to experience triumph.
Again he said unto me, prophesy upon these bones
and say unto them, oh, ye dry bones,
hear the word of the Lord.
Thus sayeth the Lord, God unto these bones.
Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you
and ye shall live.
And I will lay sinews upon you and will bring up flesh
upon you and cover you with skin and put breath in you.
And ye shall live, and ye shall know that I am the Lord.
So I prophesied as I was commanded.
And as I prophesied, there was a noise and behold
a shaking and the bones came together, bone to his bone.
And when I beheld lo the sinews and the flesh
came up upon them and the skin covered them above,
but there was no breath in them.
Then said he unto me, prophesy onto the wind,
prophesies son of man and say to the wind,
thus sayeth the Lord, God,
come from the four winds oh breath
and breathe upon these slain that they may live.
So I prophesied as he commanded me
and the breath came into them
and they lived and stood up upon their feet,
an exceeding great army.
Then he said unto me, son of man,
these bones are the whole house of Israel.
Behold, they say our bones are dried and our hope is lost.
We are cut off from our parts,
therefore prophesy and say unto them,
thus sayeth the Lord God, behold oh my people,
I will open your graves and cause you to come up
out of your graves and bring you into the land of Israel.
And he shall know that I am the Lord.
When I have opened your graves oh my people,
and brought you up out of your graves
and shall put my spirit in you and ye shall live.
And I shall place you in your own land.
Then shall ye know that I the Lord, have spoken it
and performed it saith the Lord, Ezekiel 37:4.
This revival season is a season of divine opportunity,
both for the church and people
who are laboring to see God's kingdom advance.
It is time to take back our world from the hold of demons,
because the holy spirit who makes bleak situations
become testimonies of his at work,
we must refuse captivity in dominion from hell.
Let's pray, God our father, thank you for revealing to me
the extent to which the devil
has exercised deceit to pervert the world.
He has made so many persons turn from good to evil
and has made their heart desperately wicked.
You said in your word in Jeremiah 17:9 KJV,
that the heart is deceitful above all things
and desperately wicked, who can know it?
We've seen it manifest in firsthand all around us,
but you are doing a great work
of redemption in this dispensation.
Thank you for the privilege to be a part
of rescuing so many from destruction.
Therefore Lord, I confront every scheme
of hell by the authority of your son,
my savior, Jesus Christ.
I demand the evil shall not take charge
of affairs of the world.
I stop your demonic influence over nations, governments,
scientists, entertainers, politicians in the name of Jesus,
every evil manipulations of hell against the well-being
of God's people and the world at large.
I decree an end in Jesus' name, take off your hands devil.
I plea the blood of Jesus over the minds
of leaders of nations and decision-makers.
I decree that they begin to make decisions
that will align with scriptures and make the world
a better place in the name of Jesus Christ.
Thank you father, because ultimately,
the kingdoms of this world became the kingdom of our God
and his Christ, in Jesus name I pray, Amen.
