 If the church is going to survive this hour, not just survive, but thrive in this hour, we need the baptism with the Holy Spirit and fire. It's the only chance that we have of really coming against these strategies of the enemy that are for today, and there are many wicked agendas playing out before us in this day and age. This is why God has raised you, friends of the Holy Spirit, because that's what this room is filled with. That's who's watching us online. We are friends of the Holy Spirit. People who walk with Him. It's why you're here. Because you love the presence of the Holy Spirit, because you love His Word, because you love to worship Him, because you love to have your faith stirred. You are God's answer to the wickedness in this generation. God has determined to place you here and now on the timeline, because there is a call on your life, because there are gifts within you. There are ministries yet to be birthed. There is spiritual, powerful potential packed within you, and the Holy Spirit is your partner in releasing that which God has placed inside of you. You are called for such a time as this. Don't worry about what's going on in the world. Whenever I see society and political parties and economic structures tending toward disorder, if I compare it with the rest of human history, I become excited, because I know that God always seems to show up right when you think it's over. When you think it's done and there's no way out, the Holy Spirit comes in and surprises everyone. It's like the prophet Elijah, when he called down fire from heaven. He wet the altar. Why did he wet the altar before calling down fire? Elijah wet the altar before calling down fire, because he wanted to prove that it wasn't a work of man. He wanted to prove that this fire can burn through anything. When I look around at the way the world is now, I don't see demise. I don't see the end of the church. I don't see things tending toward the end as far as the world believes the end will go. What I see is a glorious church rising and the power of the Holy Ghost moving. And I don't care what prophet told you what, God is not done with America. I saw that America is not in the book of Revelation, yet so are hundreds of other nations not in the book of Revelation. But that's because the focus is on Israel, but that doesn't mean that America doesn't have a part to play. In fact, in the Scripture you'll see in the book of Jeremiah that there's something that you'll see. It's like a prophetic clause where God will relent of punishment or from punishing a nation if that nation will turn to him. If a nation turns to him, he blesses that nation. If it turns from him, he brings down judgment. But here's the great thing about it is that what God needs in any nation is a righteous remnant who are not willing to let go. So stop throwing up your hands in defeat and saying, OK, Lord, get me out of here. He put you here. That revival might come. Stop listening to conspiracy theory prophets. That's really what's happened in this day and age. The conspiracy movement in America has blended with the prophetic ministry, and we have pollution. I'm just being real with you guys. There's pollution, and whereas the prophetic ministry was supposed to bring godly warning that led to repentance, some of the prophetic movement is now bringing this sense of doom and gloom from which there is no turning back. But every time God sent a prophet, it was always to turn the hearts of the people. It's when God stops sending prophets that you're in trouble. So stop listening to the mixture of the flesh and put your ear to what the Holy Spirit is saying. Lift your eyes and see. The harvest is ready. The harvest is ripe. Laborers are few. The issue is not the harvest. The issue is the laborers, that God is looking for people who will surrender themselves and say, Here I am. Send me. I'm just looking for a select few, and you are that remnant. You are that spirit-enpowered group of people who isn't going to back down from the lies of the enemy. You're not going to back down from the darkness. If you only knew the power God put in you, you're not a beggar. You're royalty in the Spirit. If you only knew the places of authority you're seated in, I'm not coming at this going, Oh my goodness, I'm just going to do what little I can to see what little can be accomplished. And hopefully God blesses my meager efforts. And Lord, please, just a little drop of your spirit here and a little drop of your spirit there. No, God has given you the authority of heaven to call down the rain of the Spirit and turn things around. We're the head, not the tail. We're the authority, not the servants. We are God's authority in the earth.
