TRANSLATION ALERT 150
Time Is Short (Part Two) Neal Frisby’s Sermon CD#1037 1-20-85 (PM)
Praise the Lord! Do you feel happy tonight? He probably, maybe he didn’t realize all he was talking about, but it’s the truth. When I first came on the field, some said, “What is this that feels like this?” See, what is it? It’s what He promised. It’s separating. Give the Lord a handclap. People think, people think, you know, every ministry that comes will just unite all the people. No, He will send ministries that will thin out, get rid of, and then bring together and unite the faithful. Do you believe that? The first revival is a little bit different. Now, we are coming into a different one. Well, that doesn’t mean He won’t touch everybody. He will touch any different people that can come for prayer and get to me. But at the same time, He is doing another work, too and that type of work is this: Whoever really means it in their heart and loves the Lord, then the ministry will not separate them. How many of you realize that? Those that love the Word and love the Lord, it can’t. But those that are just mouth service, you know, have no heart felt, do not believe in their heart, see, there’s a difference. It’s lukewarmness like in the traditional churches. Some of the Pentecostal churches that have lukewarmness in some deliverance places, same way, have kind of pined away, but the Lord understands.
Lord Jesus, you are touching your people’s hearts tonight, gathering them together in the love of their heart. And that’s how it’s done in the heart, Lord, and soul of the body of the spirit. Touch the new ones here tonight, bless them.
Take all the pain from here. Guide each one of them, Lord. Comfort their hearts in the days ahead, for surely, they are going to need it in the hour that we live in.
Sometimes when everything looks better, Lord, it is a sign other things are coming with perplexity, perilous times, and confusion and our hands will be up to you in worshiping you all of the time. We thank you. You’ve laid a straight path on a wonderful guidance and road for us. Give the Lord a handclap! Praise the Lord Jesus! Oh, bless the Lord! I am glad, I am glad I had to say that tonight, but there was a lot of truth. That was a message just before the service. It was kind of like a little message, but you’ve heard it before. If it was the first time that you’ve heard it, then you will realize it more than if you’ve heard it quite a bit. Some people start taking things for granted, but it is the truth. And more and more, not just, you know, speaking of my ministry at all, not just speaking of it, but more and more the Holy Spirit will activate the elect, the people that they go to, the people that they see and so forth, God calling the proper ones; the Lord is moving with His Spirit. Believe me, anybody with an honest heart, the Holy Spirit will never, never overlook it. The finest machinery on this earth, the finest computers, electronics can overlook something, but the Lord will never. He is infinite before it ever was or ever is, He is still infinite. Isn’t that wonderful? Go ahead and be seated.
1.Somebody said, “Oh, this building is so big. It isn’t big enough if you really get in and work, saith the Lord. Oh, my! Yeah, it wasn’t me, not at all. Why would I say something like that? You know, these things are coming from God, do you realize that? If you really get in, talking of the elect, see, this goes all over the country, wherever they are in their churches too, it tells them the same thing or whatever building they have. But God said, and He sent the Holy Spirit out three times and He told them, said, “But my house is not yet filled.” Whether He has a small house at that time, see, prophecy takes in all conditions. The Lord’s Word takes in all conditions, see, whosoever will, it said, and He says, “If thou can’t believe all things are possible,” male, female, boy, girl, or what. And when He says, and He preaches it like He does, and He says in the parables of the end of the age, He said this, they went out twice in a great moving across the earth. It’s typical of the 1900s, typical of the middle of 1947, so forth, over into the complete latter rain. And they went out several times in invitations and finally had a great healing revival, that’s even listed in there. And then the Lord sent a compelling whirlwind type, force of power, magnetic power. He said, “Go and compel.” See, people, yourself you cannot compel, but the Holy Spirit. See, a compelling force, because he said, “Master, the house is not yet full.” He said, “My house is not yet full.” So He said, go out again until she’s filled, see, going out. Now, whether they’ve got a hundred seats or whether they got fifty seats, I believe at the end of the age, those that love God, it is their duty [if they’ve got ten people there or a hundred or what] to do all they can to fill it with good souls to God. Amen? That’s right. And just like He said, and I believe with all my heart, that if you will, if a person will work hard enough, and the people will get behind it enough, and pray enough, now He put that in there, then the Lord will move. And like I say, it would not be big enough. Overseas, it wouldn’t be big enough at all and if I could get all my partners that live all over this country here at one time, it would not be big at all. So you see, the Lord at the end of the age has great things. Some people just think of themselves, well, that’s not going to work. Did you know that? You’ve got to pray for others to keep yourself going. That’s where your energy comes from, a prayer. When you pray for others, when you seek others, then God takes care of you. But when you don’t, you see, there’s a missing link with the Lord.
2.Let’s get into this message tonight. I’ve already said you can just tell God is on that by the reaction. You can tell what He’s doing. He never agrees with carnality. He never agrees with the physical thing, He always agrees with what His Word says. How many of you believe that? Okay, now let’s go into this. Time is short. We all realize that time is short. And I believe what was said before this service tonight, I believe it’s going to mix into this message here. And Paul said in Romans 13: 10 & 13, “It’s high time to awake.” And he wrote some things that would happen at the end of the age and being subject to the higher powers and so forth like that. He said it’s high time to awake. Time is at hand. The night is far spent. Time is short, it is far spent. Pray for revival and pray for our revivals that are coming. Awake, the trumpet sounds, calling ourselves to prayer, this kind of prayer. The hour of decision has come upon us all. We will all do our part. Will all do their part in prayer and seeking the Lord in what He tells them to do, to challenge the forces of evil that are in every direction running wild and rampant all over the country? How many of you realize that? And the Lord has a people and a standard of power to pray so that we can stand in the gap and make a difference in this nation and in the elect church. We will make a difference because if we did not, there would not be a translation, but He knows whom He has called. He knows whom He has trusted like Abraham, He said, “I know what he will do.” How many of you believe that? He knows what the elect will do. He is calling them to prayer, to burden prayer, to insistent, persistent prayer, not-to-be-denied prayer, the intercessory prayer for God’s spirit to move as never before. It is coming up and it is coming upon us for the Holy Spirit to strike and shake and even put terror in the heart of the saint and the sinner alike so they both can come together in salvation and power of the Lord. Now when I am getting down through here, I kind of set the standard. I looked over there for months, this little paper was laying over on the chair on some different type things around there, probably some of my books or something around there or something that was laying out. It’s been laying there for months and tonight while I was in prayer and I was reading in Romans and reading different places in the Bible, Ephesians, so forth a little bit and while I was, that’s kind of coming to me about God’s move on the earth and so forth. He was moving in that direction. I just finished some other work that will be coming out on prophecy and so forth like that and He just turned in a different direction totally. And so I just kept there for a moment, and I felt drawn to pick up this little paper. And I am going to read some of it tonight because it tells something similar to what has been preached many years here.
3.And let’s see and I will interpret in between and see what the Lord has for us tonight. Now we are getting to a more serious note. Listen to this right here in this scripture, 1 Corinthians 1: 5, “In everything you are enriched by him.” Isn’t that wonderful? No matter about your prayers, if it’s about your giving, if it’s about your faith, believing for healing, you are enriched by your work. You are enriched no matter, and you are witnessing, you are testifying, you are enriched by Him, no matter what you touch up, you are a doer and He will take care of you. I really believe that in my heart, in all of my heart. See, there’s a note for people to be awake and to listen. I feel like the trumpet has sounded, we are awake. I am going to read a little bit in this paper and just see how this will hit some of you because I believe it will touch every heart, if it is elect across the earth. “Trouble on the right hand, defeat on the left for many. Rifts, divisions among even earnest Christians, here we see it all over the country, petty annoyances, things bother them. You wouldn’t imagine, at the least, little old words, petty annoyances, laziness, lukewarmness.” Yeah, who is He talking to? Talking to the church. How many of you believe that? Just get your bible out, begin to read it. It is time to pray through church. It is time to awake until the Holy Spirit comes upon us and such a convicting power that we will have no heart to point the finger of criticism at anyone on the earth.” Isn’t that wonderful? Now revivals come, see, when people get their minds off of other people and get it upon the Lord and who cares who is doing this, just keep your mind on the Lord? Amen. Watch and see, there will be such a type of spirit coming, the anointing of the Lord upon the elect at the end of the age, that it’s an awe, it will be an awe. Such international crises, you can’t begin to tell what is going to take place, mixed in with the greatest miracles that we’ve ever seen and the greatest moving of the Holy Spirit that we’ve ever seen. The people will come until their minds will begin to come to the head and come right into the Lord. So great and powerful things will be worked and manifested then. It’s unbelievable, but it will be done. I believe every word of it myself. So, they won’t be able to point their finger of criticism to no one, their hearts so caught up until we ourselves are filled with the Holy Ghost completely full within and out. Do you believe that tonight? All right. Now we see this, Isaiah 58: 9 -12 will give it to you and Ephesians 5:18.
4.Now saith the Lord, turn ye. This is a scripture, “Now saith the Lord, turn ye even to me with all of your heart” (Joel 2:12). You see, weep between the porch and the altar, the ministers and the people. You’ve read that in the Bible. Just before the atomic, it said they were weeping and howling, some will be saved by then. And still through those chapters of Joel the atomic, atomic flames, and chill are coming. Weeping and howling, see, praying, warning revival, revival, get on your knees. Revival, revival, trouble is coming, see, in there. Seek me with all of your heart, the bible says. And then it says this here, “But who is turning to God with all of his heart?” That’s what it says. Who is weeping and mourning because of all the sins that are engulfing the whole world? Who is weeping and mourning? You know in Ezekiel it said, “Sigh and cry for the abominations.” And those that cry and sigh for the abominations of Jerusalem and Israel, He said, “Mark them, they will not be touched. My hand will be upon them.” But all that are not marked by my power, He said, “They will be swept away.” You realize that? He protected, He was with those that were sighing and crying for their children, for their family, for the people. You’ve got to have this to be a Christian. You’ve got to have a heart that will reach out. Why sometimes even in the world Jesus said that they have a heart for one another! Can’t you do more than that? The sin that is engulfing the whole world. Oh, people though are so very busy, worrying and fretting about a lot of little petty troubles and time is so spent in grieving about their failures and the real or supposed failures of other Christians. They can find all those failures of other Christians too, you see, that they have little strength or desire left to apply the remedy and that is to buckle down in persistent prayer. The prayer of faith shall save the sick, saith the Lord, I will raise him up again. If there are any sins, I will forgive them all. Isn’t that wonderful? Do you believe that? Just as true as can be. Now we know this, why worry so much about your troubles? Your troubles are guaranteed, Jesus said. Oh, you say where is that at? Well let’s see if I can find a scripture here in John 16:33, “These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.” Stay with Him, He will take you through everything. Your troubles and problems are guaranteed, but God through all of these lessons and things that He does, there is joy and there is a happy [happiness] and He is with you!
5.Some people have less than others because some people manufacture their own troubles, others do not. Amen. I don’t know where that comes from the Lord. Watch the wisdom of the Lord here, that’s right, you see satan is tricky. Now he will cause a lot of those different types of troubles. That’s why Jesus said it the way He did. He [satan] will try everything that he can and get you in all kinds of little bitty troubles and big ones if he can, and all kinds of little problems and criticisms in order to get your mind off of your true duty. Now you are so busy praying around for your own troubles and praying around for troubles around, fretting and fretting that you forget your real duty. And that is to pray for souls and worldwide revival that thy kingdom come. Not our kingdom, His kingdom. Do you realize that? So, they are so busy praying for these little things that are going on that they forget their real duty. And that’s satan: “Pray for that little trouble. Don’t pray for those souls. Don’t let that prayer of faith go out that the Lord shall save the sick and raise him up. See, just keep praying about these little things I am putting up in front of you all the time and then I will keep you so busy that you will fail your duty when you stand before Him.” You see, satan, he says “You’ve got plenty of time. Just keep on fretting about your own little things here.” We are to pray in our hearts. I believe that through this that God has given us tonight, He is revealing to us the revivals that are coming. Let us stay in prayer. You will be many nights in service, and the spirit of prayer will come upon you. Sometimes you have it so hard and that’s when you want to pray. And I feel this in all my heart through my anointing and through the anointing that the Lord has given that He will move on the people that a spirit of believing prayer will come upon them. It will be easy to pray before service, coming in service, and during service. They will have a song in their heart. How many of you believe that? And they will sing unto the Lord, a song in their heart. And a prayer can be in any manner of those ways that God moves on you because your faith is reaching out. So the spirit of prayer; one thing that the church is lacking, the elect across the earth is the spirit of prayer has not come upon her like it should and it will come whether some of them like it or not, saith the Lord, it is coming! Boy, I’ll tell you what, you know He can make nature and He can move around any way He wants to, and He can put prayer on you! I mean you won’t sleep day or night. I mean you will want to pray. That’s exactly right.
6.You know at the time that they had a certain time of day, and they couldn’t wait to get there. David sometimes he would run to the house of God. He was so glad to get in there because he was surrounded on every side sometimes, but he was glad to be there. And the Lord can move and when He does like my writing, you just can’t quit sometimes or you are preaching, going on messages after messages. Just to go on psalms and psalms, you see, writing, the writer in the Bible. The Spirit of God moves in such a way, I want you to see how that He moves and sometimes you could just write on and on. It’s just coming from everywhere and He breaks it up in pieces so I can get it together to people that can’t receive it all. And that same feeling or anointing that moves and does that in such a way will move upon the elect of the Lord God and the elect of the Lord God will not only bring in more of the wise, but they will unite and gather all the elect and they will come into them. They are the midnight cry. How many of you believe that? That’s the midnight cry. They are the midnight cry. The wise and the foolish were asleep. They were them; they were part of that wise that were not asleep at all. It’s high time to awake, Paul said, or you will miss the prize. He said, “Forgetting those things and problems in the past, but going forward for the prize of the high calling, the translation and the first resurrection.” Pray on! It’s high time. Time is at hand and time is short that we are living in. So, you will always have those problems. So, instead of this, satan getting your mind off those little things and getting it off the real intercessory duty, a spirit of prayer will finally come upon you. It will just dance around you like tongues of fire. Oh, that’s God, it will! He will help you in such a way. That’s what’s got to come and will come upon the church because they have so many pleasures, so many things to do, so busy it says. Such busy people just go and come and go and come! But still yet He will come. We are going to bring out a point here in a minute. He will come and He will move on His people. I am expecting it, and I know it in all of my heart and the prophecy of the Lord foretelling you things here tonight that are going to come to pass is very strong here tonight and I feel that. You can just feel the anointing of the Lord prophesied to His people that is coming upon them and it is coming our way. It’s coming from the Lord.
7.So instead of spending our time and strength fretting, worrying over troubles which the Lord has promised you shall have, it is up to each and every one who has been born again to be of good cheer, trust the Lord to work things out. See, that’s all you can do, trust the Lord to work things out. The Bible said that all things work for the good of them that love God. Can you say amen? So trust the Lord that He will work all things out while we ourselves then give the heed to the Holy Spirit’s urgent and soundful call. You can hear the wind rushing. You can hear the sound of the Holy Spirit, and their sound went throughout the land, the sound of the Spirit that we have in there. And weeping in prayer, see, when is the last time you’ve seen people weeping in prayer? He will come. Oh, you say, “What age are you in?” I am at this age here. Weeping, there will be people weeping that you’ve never seen before. The coming of the Lord, such weeping and joy too, intermingled. What a time that is ahead! Amen. Then as we pray the Holy Spirit will come upon the scene, in a terrific, a convicting power. Troubles will be handled in God’s own way. Difficulties will be adjusted by the Spirit of God. People would be so very busy praying, witnessing, and testifying that they will have neither a heart nor time to worry or fret about anything. Boy, that is being caught up in God! Getting into a vision now, going to a trance, see, they were in prayer and they would go into a vision while seeking God. Peter was in a trance while seeking the Lord. The Italian band, the man at that time I believe it was, was in prayer, went in a trance. How many of you realize this? And see where the Holy Spirit was poured out in the Bible, the Romans there, the house of Cornelius is where it was poured out upon those Gentiles. It was coming from the Lord. How great and how wonderful it is! See? So we find out on the scene, God will take care of those difficulties. You will be busy with the Lord in here, watching God move upon His people, testifying, witnessing, and praying. Oh isn’t this uplifting? You already feel good. I can feel it all over this audience, great! See you are getting ready, getting ready for a revival! Let God just come through there with that Holy Spirit. Boy, He will bless your heart!
8.Witness the revival. Listen to this right here. Here is something I took note of. It’s why I really felt led to go with some of this here, interrupted with my preaching. Listen to this right here. Witness the revival on the day of Pentecost, how that had gone forth and spread like it did. Listen to this right here and that was 24 hours a day working. It came like that, the spirit of prayer. Now witness the Welsh revival and the one that fell in Los Angeles. The first time the Holy Spirit came back in a way that it was poured out upon the people and witnessed the Welsh revival and the other revival that came in 1901 through 1905. Those revivals came with the Holy Spirit moving where people packed the churches day and night, where the churches never closed for even one hour out of the 24, now you are in revival. You say, “Did that occur?” They have witnesses to this day. People are still alive to this day that can remember that. Did you know that? Very old, but they can remember it and they have carried it on to others. If some of them have passed away, it’s in books, eyewitness books written 25, 30, 40 years ago are still on the market. In some places, the churches were open 24 hours a day, not losing one hour that somebody was weeping and crying at the altar and people were getting saved. The Holy Spirit was moving them, and they didn’t have the powerful gifts that we have today. There were just a few being healed of the Holy Spirit as they went along, but it was being poured out. And such a manifestation was on the fiery part of the Holy Spirit where people were moving! Now we have out of that great movement, we had four or five great Pentecostal movements spring out of there, see? Then, they tightened down. But God is coming now, out of there will come a great revival. He will move and shake things. He is coming. He is coming again. And here’s what it says, where the churches never closed for even one hour, see, somebody was seeking God in groups. And it says here out of every 24 not one hour was lost. That was during that time of that revival. God can do it again and on a larger scale and more universal. God can do it again.
9.Remember that before the service because of a little something that was said, you know, at the front of the service here by the boy and I came back and began to preach about those calls where the house was not full and how that God would move. Remember that? It comes right back into this message here. So we find out God can do it again on a larger, more universal, more mighty, and more powerful scale. Pray for revival, I say pray for revival and watch it run over you. Bless God, He is coming, He is coming! If you knew in your heart like I know in my heart you’d be prepared for it, so you don’t look silly later on. Praise God! The preachers when that first started, I read it, knew its truth way back there, “Well, this will burn itself out overnight. I’m not getting involved with these people.” And they were the very ones that had believed that way! “This thing that we preached is now happening, see, of the Holy Spirit.” They hadn’t seen the Holy Spirit move like that, very rarely did anybody get the baptism of the Holy Spirit. Oh no, they preached about it, but they didn’t see much of it until the early 1900s again because it kind of died away. The seven church ages from the time of Paul’s day in Ephesus right on into the group that’s here today, Philadelphia church, the brotherly love church of revival and zeal and power in the Lord Jesus, the very missionary church of power. And on the other hand, the old Laodicean church, the old lukewarm to be spewed out, see? That’s what we said in the beginning and they are both running side along. God will pull some from that Laodicean, get them on in there with that Philadelphia, the brotherly love church of revival and power, evangelistic power. It was this long, about the seventh church age, both of them coming together there, simultaneously working, God pulling His people. But that Laodicean will finally collapse in a terrifying, I would say, type of sins and abominations and worship of men and so forth, the antichrists and all of that until they are taken into images, joining the wrong powers so forth. But the faithful church of Philadelphia, the group alike akin to that symbolic church that was once in live power, that group now will be like this is tonight here as the Holy Spirit moves on across. As He shakes, there are a few going to fall from every direction right into His vacuum, I mean He is going to shake them loose. Did you know that? When He does He will guide them and they will come into that body. And what is left there will suffer great tribulation and some of the worst events of horror that they have ever seen on the face of the earth.
10.So we find out moving in such a way that a revival and it will come. It did before and when it does it will move. Now here’s another thing, in the early 1900s it began to come back and then built into the gifts later, almost a generation later, building into the gifts. And since this last revival has been poured out, it will almost be another generation, see, reaching on in, the three generations, reaching on to the next outpouring. But in those days, it was like more on the farms, very few people lived in the cities like today. They didn’t have all these things to look at, all these things to listen to, and all these places to go, and all these swift and speedy ways to do it, and all these pleasures and trips and different things that they can do, you know, all over the world. People today, rich and so forth like that, you can think about just the people of normal means, they have so many things that they can do today. They are faced with every type of temptation, every type of thing on the face of this earth to occupy their time, you see. But in the 1900s when it came, they were in church 24 hours. That was the best show on earth! Glory, Hallelujah! Can you say amen? Now it makes no difference at the end of the age what we are surrounded with, what we have, what’s around us, or the people, He is going to come the same way. Only a more powerful sound with more faith, more anointing to work miracles like we’ve never seen before and some of the greatest feelings from the Holy Spirit that have been denied the world up until this point and even in Jesus’ day. What a feeling of power coming! He has promised the works I do, so you do and greater now. It’s that Holy Spirit, see, not us, the Holy Spirit, the dimension of the Holy Spirit. Dispensations change, giving His people power to believe. And something that they have never felt in six thousand years is that Holy Spirit because it is so akin to the very thing and the deepness of faith is so akin to that translation that it begins to come like that.
11.And you are getting ready to be changed and as you are getting ready to be changed, there is that feeling coming. He is forerunning it now. He said Himself, “The Lord cometh, behold the Lord in clouds of glory!” Did you know that? He is coming in clouds of glory. He came to Solomon’s temple in clouds of glory. Now just before that change, translation will come, little by little, He will come in great power. And the glory clouds will rush in upon us, and the power and presence of the Lord will come on the people that love Him, the ones in their heart that love Him. He is going to move on the ones that believe in their heart in such a way the feeling of the Holy Spirit will move, never before in the history of our six thousand years will they have ever felt anything like it! Now you might talk to Elijah the moment that he was translated in that chariot. You might talk to Enoch that never died but was taken away with the Lord. They may describe to you a feeling of ecstasy and power. You know, “rapture” they use the word, is to translate or to rapture is being caught up in ecstasy! That’s what rapture means, but translate means to change, translating rapture is what it is. And if you talk to them [Elijah and Enoch], they may give you a few points on how it felt when they left this world without dying and went on up, but it will not be exactly like what we will change into, the glorified body. But their changing that they went into was into some kind of a change when they were translated and the feeling of that, but ours will be into the complete glorified body, you see. And before that comes, will come that feeling as we are preparing for the change. The church is changing. The elect is changing. The bodies of the people are changing. Faith is changing. Faith is growing as the faith of God. Glory, Hallelujah! As the faith of the Messiah, as the faith of the Lord Jesus again. And as He speaks, brother, we are moving on out and we are going on up! Glory, Hallelujah! How many of you believe that?
12.See don’t let the little things and he [satan] will give you plenty of those to keep you busy that your duty will go unheeded. Let us remember, we are at the time of the age that we live in now where God needs His saints. He knows that. He can do anything He wants without them, but it is our hour. What a time, in the hour that we live in to reach out in prayer! Believe me there are souls there, there are souls there, saith the Lord, for I know where they are at. How many of you can say, amen? You know the other night I said there are some wonderful preachers. I don’t know, somebody with a note said, “Where are the wonderful preachers?” Well, God knows where they’re at. Now if you look hard enough, you will find some of them in the United States. You will find some in South America. You will find a few in Canada. You will find a few overseas. And you will find a few in one state and a few in the next state. You may not know where all these are. But I tell you what, He’s got some. They are not known but they are preaching and they are preaching the Word. How many of you believe that? They may not be spectacular and have the greatest amount of anointing and power, but oh, they’re laying with that Word. They are staying right there. It may be hard for you to see the real people of God. Let me tell you this, they are so important I think to the Lord that only He knows exactly where they are. Can you say amen? I already believe that in my heart. You know, in the Bible days, the prophets, until He did otherwise, only God knew who it was or where it was or where it was coming from at that time. And the people at the end of the age, they’d be like Elijah, weeping sometimes, wondering sometimes. He thought, “Oh my, I, and I am alone.” But the Lord chastised him on that one, corrected him at that time but that’s the way he felt. Sometimes you may feel you are the only one in the world that’s really serving God or the only one in the world that really cares or the only one in the world that means business with God, or you are the only one in the world that is going through these things. But remember, God knows others, amen. He told Elijah there is a group that I have and a group that’s already been stirred by my power. The same here tonight, there are souls out there and God knows where they are at. There are preachers preaching. If you can’t see them God knows where they are at. How many of you say amen? They will be in the translation. There will be some in that translation.
13.Let’s get along here. But 24 hours a day when that revival broke out. I like to say the last day will be a quick powerful short work. Wouldn’t you like to see just for a little while 24 hours a day, God moving on every church that believes in God. Isn’t that going to be a sight? Oh my! Those that do not make it in translation but flee in the wilderness, oh they’d give anything, spend 24 hours a day in prayer. Oh, that’s God! Amen. So, we find out the folks in this age, see, they are in a rush, just don’t seem to have time to pray. How many of you realize that tonight? But we need this. He calls for us to put everything we have into this matter of praying, everything in our heart for a Holy Ghost revival that He has promised will come. And whether one or two or three or four or five hundred or ten thousand think otherwise, saith the Lord, it shall surely come on those I will take away. Glory, Hallelujah! How many of you believe that? How can He translate you until He prepares you in this restoration revival? Behold the Lord! See, He stands as the Refiner. He is coming to bless His people, and He will do it too. So we find out if the stark terror, this is the thing I was telling you about when I was reading it here too. There are two or three things here that caused me to turn this. If the stark terror of the conditions in the whole world today and even in our own blessed land does not drive us to real prayer, we are almost beyond hope ourselves. My! Do you know what they said in Israel? Just look at the barren land, they will never return there. Mark Twain, I believe it was written one time he’d been there and nothing but just a few wild animals around there, nothing. The Bible predicted it would be a fruitful land at the end of the age, and the Jews would be in their homeland just before His coming, He would draw them again. He drove them out. He said now, “Bring them again. I will bring them back.” And you know what? As the years went on, they became a nation again and came from all over the world, went in there, a fruitful land of trees. Nowhere in the world do you see such fruits and trees and flowers as they have in the land because the Old Testament predicted and Jesus said that He would bring them back again in their land. And they say, you know, how will God? How will He do that? He will do it. How many of you believe this tonight? God knows exactly what He is doing and He is preparing us to come together.
14.What the Lord was leading me to, and He is bringing it past me again. Remember the dry bones that were waking up in the spirit of Israel come back, and these bones will live again (Ezekiel 37: 1-14). How many of you believe that? That meant Israel would live again, and the old dry bones are a prediction and prophecy in the bible. Who would have thought of such a thing, the Lord said Himself? But it has come to pass, saith the Lord and yet it hadn’t even come to pass, but He said it that way. Who has seen such a thing? Who has thought such a thing the Lord said? But it has come to pass. Okay, that was the point that He was getting in, that is, they are being put back in the resurrection of the power of the Holy Spirit. I mean, in there the bones again will come alive meaning that the revival of the Lord will move on the spirit and people of Israel and who would have thought such a thing could have taken place, but it did? Now if the land and the trouble that it is in does not drive somebody and all of us to prayer then see, you are beyond hope. How many of you can see the suffering? How many of you can look around and see the young people? How many of you can see around in the country the crimes, the sins that people are in, and they are trapped, entangled in all of these? But it is the prayer of the saints that will set them free. How many of you believe that tonight? So, pray with all of your heart and pray with everything about you. That quote was right for them, if it does not drive us to a real prayer, we are almost beyond hope. It didn’t say you were beyond hope, almost beyond hope if you can’t see the conditions. In other words if you can’t see the things that are going on around you, if all of the things are wars, rumors, and famine, and all of the things that are taking place, if you can’t see that, you are beyond hope. Surely, you can see that, can’t you see that? Amen. Then put a heartfelt prayer in there and begin to really reach on out to the Lord.
- Then we find out, “Gather the people, let the priest and the ministers of the Lord weep between the porch and the altar.” How many of you believe that? For revival, Joel spoke about the great restoration that was coming upon the land, but he said afterwards would come a most terrible destruction, a flame through the land would come pillars of fire, blood, smoke, and famine, the creeks would dry up the cattle would groan, there’d be no food and so forth. So, he said, “Weep and howl before these conditions come.” And he spoke about a great outpouring that would come before all those conditions would be poured out, “Your sons and daughters shall prophesy and see visions and dreams, and I will pour out my spirit upon all the handmaidens and on everyone” (Joel 2: 28 & 29). It sweeps the Gentiles and when he said all flesh, it swept into the Jews, and the dry bones are coming up. Can you say, amen, that the dry bones live again? That’s Israel, that they will come back again and live and the rest of them in the Spirit of God.
16.I want you to stand on your feet here tonight. What a message! A person can get into dwelling on this. Are you now ready for a revival? Glory, Hallelujah! You’d be surprised, some of you people right here, while you are praying for God to save people, to heal people, to move on people, and while you are praying that way, you’d be surprised who the Holy Spirit moves on and when the Holy Spirit moves. Because you say” Well, I am praying here, I wonder what God will do around the corner.” Well, He may move around the corner but while you are praying, He may touch somebody in the deepest parts of India or China. He may touch somebody in the farthest parts of the jungles where a missionary has been praying and praying, they can’t seem to do anything. And your prayer of faith because you are being taught by the ministry of power, the anointing in your prayer will change things overnight and those people can come to God. You will be surprised He doesn’t use just you; He won’t just move just where you are standing and working many times, He will move there too, but He is worldwide. How many of you believe that tonight? So tonight, while you are praying for this revival, getting ready for this weekend, every one of you be here and get this revival started off. I want the people to get involved and see what’s going on and so forth like that and I want you to all pray.
- And Tonight, you come down here and you reach on out for souls, for the message has been appointed, saith the Lord. “And the Lord, your God, hath given the message and it shall occur, saith the Lord, and surely at the time that I have spoken. The night is far spent, the day is at hand, it’s more than high time to awake. It is now time to act. It is time to move in the Holy Spirit. I will go before you and I will bless you, saith the Lord. Utter your cry unto me. Let your heart and soul come up before me, saith the Lord, and I will not turn you away, but I will guide you in what I want you to do. Pray saith the Lord, for time surely is short.” Indeed, it is short, saith the Lord. I really believe that. You know, you could just see the ark door, you could just feel it closing there. In other words, the Spirit of God won’t always strive with man. Time is even short now. Time is short too for the translation that is coming upon the world, but time is short coming in this great quick short work revival that we are in now meaning let’s get them in before the door is shut, amen. That’s exactly right anyway you look at it. Time is short, saving souls and everything that we want to do.
18.So, tonight in your prayers, reach out and then I am going to pray that God touch every one of you and bless you and may this Spirit stay with you all week. Have a heartfelt prayer in your heart for the young people and the sinners of this nation and He will surely bless you for it. Okay, are you ready? Let’s go now. Revival, let’s have revival. Well, great, great revival. My, my, my! You want revival? He’s going to get it. Just reach on out there, just reach on out there. Oh, how sweet, He is God! He is really great! Oh, He will move on your heart. Well, now reach out there. You are going to touch their heart, Lord! Oh, bless their prayers now! You will hear them. You are going to save souls. Reach out! You are going to send them on; you are going to bless their prayers. Touch every one of them now with the Holy Spirit, let Him move. It’s really great! Thank you, Jesus. Oh my, thank you, Jesus! Lord, we agree with you tonight. Well, can’t you feel that moving now? It’s really great! He is really great! He is going to bless your heart, every one of you. Thank you Jesus! He is going to bless your heart. Thank you, Jesus!
