Main Theme

Effective Prayer and God’s Glory in the Last Days
This episode, led by guest ministers Joel and Amy Siegel with contributions from Pastor Nancy Dufresne, centers on cultivating a deeper hunger for God, becoming proficient in prayer, and aligning the desires of the church with God's supreme desire: that His glory and presence would fill the earth. Through biblical foundations, personal testimony, and fervent corporate prayer, the speakers exhort listeners to pursue the supernatural work of the Spirit, support the rising of anointed voices in this era, and take up their roles in advancing God’s plan in these last days.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The Heart of Prayer: Hunger for God and His Glory

• Opening Prayer and Exhortation (00:08–03:53):
  • Amy Siegel notes the necessity of spiritual hunger as a foundation for receiving the things of God.
  • “If there’s two things I can attribute our success in following God: one is staying hungry. And number two is, stick with who God puts you with. Dance with the one who brung you, right.” (Amy Siegel, 03:40)

2. The Biblical Foundation for Powerful, Effective Prayer

• Paul’s Perspective from Prison (04:03–07:02):
  • Discussion from Philippians about how Paul's confidence wasn't in his circumstances but in the prayers and supply of the Spirit from the church.
  • “Paul didn’t say ‘my prayer’—he said, ‘through your prayer and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ.’” (Amy Siegel, 06:05)
• James 5 and the Energeo Prayer (07:04–10:59):
  • Focus on ‘effectual, fervent prayer’—prayer that is energetic, powerful, and effective.
  • “How do we get to powerful prayer? Not just our own ideas, but finding out what the Word has to say.” (Amy Siegel, 08:54)

3. Becoming Proficient in Prayer: God’s Rebuke & Invitation

• Personal Revelation of Prayer Proficiency (10:20–11:01):
  • Amy shares about God telling her, “Become proficient in prayer,” which she realized was a corrective word to grow in effectiveness and spiritual discipline.
  • “Become proficient in prayer. Get with it, girl. Get good at this. We need some effective people in the spirit realm.” (Amy Siegel, 10:55)

4. Aligning Our Desires with God’s—Heaven’s Cry for Earth

• Isaiah 6 and the Heartbeat of Heaven (13:09–19:01):
  • The repeated cry of the seraphim—“Holy, holy, holy, the whole earth is full of your glory”—is highlighted as heaven’s desire for the manifest presence of God to fill earth.
  • Amy calls the audience to “volunteer” to be “a landing spot for your glory.”
  • “If that’s heaven’s desire, it should be our desire. And when we go to prayer, we need to lock in with his desire.” (Amy Siegel, 17:30)

5. The Day of Pentecost and New Testament Fulfillment

• Acts 2—God’s Desire for Fulness (19:01–25:35):
  • Amy teaches that Pentecost is a model for believers to not only be filled with the Spirit but to overflow so that God’s power is seen in the world.
  • “We’re going to have to be so full, so full of Him and His glory and His things and His desires that we’re just… overflowing.” (Amy Siegel, 22:55)
• Purpose of Prayer—For Whosoever Will (24:17–25:10):
  • Effective prayer isn’t just for personal needs, but so “whosoever will call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”

6. A Cautionary Vision—John G. Lake’s Angelic Encounter

• Historical Context and Rebuke (26:24–32:12):
  • Amy recounts an angelic vision given to John G. Lake, warning that “human selfishness and pride have consumed and dissipated the very glory and heavenly power that God once gave... Should I say it again? Human selfishness and human pride have consumed, dissipated the very glory and heavenly power that God once gave from heaven to this movement.” (Angel to John G. Lake, quoted by Amy, 29:16)
  • The angel urges, “Strive for this, contend for this, teach the people to pray for this… for this alone will meet the necessity of the human heart... Pray, pray, pray. Teach the people to pray. Prayer and prayer alone, much prayer, persistent prayer, is the door of entrance into the heart of God.” (Angel, 32:05)

7. Aligning With God’s Priorities: Corporate Exhortation & Prayer

• Joel Siegel’s Emphasis on Focus (33:11–35:41):
  • Joel underscores Paul's note on Timothy (Philippians 2), “They all care for their own things, not those which belong to Christ.”
  • “It is needful that the things that live the biggest in us are the things that are big to God.” (Joel Siegel, 35:21)
  • The life of supernatural power is only possible by prioritizing the plan of God.
• Revival, History, and Outpouring (35:46–43:00):
  • Joel gives examples from past revivals (e.g., Azusa) and the extraordinary miracles borne out of hunger and prayer.

8. Prayer Is Partnership, Not a Burden

• Redefining ‘Contending’ for Revival (43:01–46:43):
  • “We’re not trying to talk God into His own plan. We’re cooperating… He needs the whole body... walking the same, in agreement. And that’s the purpose of the kind of prayer we’re talking about.” (Joel Siegel, 45:15)
  • True prayer is striving with God’s empowerment, not through drudgery.

9. Extended Corporate Prayer and Intercession (46:43–73:55)

• For God’s Manifestation, for Government, for the Church:
  • Thanksgiving and declaration that God's glory is manifesting in the earth.
  • Intercession for President Biden, national leaders, and wisdom for the nation (62:00–63:54).
  • Prayer for the rapid spread of the Gospel (64:54–66:29).
  • Specific intercession for the fivefold ministry: apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers (68:43–72:53).
  • Repeated musical expressions of thanksgiving and gratitude to God, inviting listeners to join (73:13–75:46).

10. The Rise of New Voices for the Era

• Pastor Nancy’s Reflection (77:01–78:22):
  • She shares a prophetic perspective that, in revival, God raises up new, previously unknown voices “out of the secret places.” Not via self-promotion or popularity, but by divine appointment.
  • “When God gives a voice, he doesn’t give it for personal views, opinions to be expressed. The voice is for one thing: to say what God says.” (Pastor Nancy Dufresne, 78:54)
  • Listeners are urged to pray for the purity and protection of these emerging voices.

[B]

Glory, glory, glory.

[C]

All the gifts of the Spirit.

[B]

All the gifts of the spirit. Hallelujah. All the gifts of the spirit. Hallelujah. That the body.

[C]

That the world might benefit.

[B]

Yes, yes, yes, yes. For it's the world. Glory to God. That needs to see the glory of God. The power of God in manifestation. Hallelujah. Oh, Father, we're so grateful for your miracles. We're so grateful for your power. We're so grateful for your goodness in this hour. Hallelujah. Oh, we magnify. We glorify. We worship you. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. We're hungry. We're hungry. We're hungry. Hungry. Hallelujah. Glory, Glory. Hungry. Hungry for miracles. Hungry. Hungry for all you have. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Oh, glory, glory.

[C]

Hallelujah. Are you hungry today? Praise the Lord. Hungry for his word. Hungry for his spirit.

[B]

Hunger for all that he has. Hallelujah.

[C]

Not just here in this place, but throughout the whole earth.

[B]

Hallelujah.

[C]

Glory to God. Glory to God. Glory to God.

[B]

Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Father, we're hungry. We're hungry. Thank you, Lord. Thank you. Thank you. You. Thank you.

[C]

Oh, bless the Lord. Bless the Lord. Well, you may be seated this morning. Glory to God. Glory to God. Hallelujah. You know, when. When I first got saved, I didn't.

[A]

Know anything.

[C]

About the Word, about the Spirit.

[A]

But you know, what I was is.

[C]

Even before I was saved, I was hungry for God. I was hungry for the things of God. And because of that hunger, God revealed himself to me. And he actually had to get me out of town, out of where my family lived, out of the church I was in. Hello. To get around folk that said, hey, you need to be born again, glory to God. But God will get you you to the place you need to be. He will put you, hook you up with the people that will feed your life and help your life and supply your life with the Word and with the Spirit and teach you the things you need to know to further your walk with him and to enhance your walk. And when he hooks you up with those people, it is great wisdom to stay there. It is great wisdom to never leave that supply, to never leave that place. Glory to God. And so if there's two things I can attribute to my success, our success in following God, one is staying hungry. And number two is stick with who God puts you with. Dance with the one who brung you right.

[B]

Glory to God.

[C]

Hallelujah. Well, turn with me to Philippians Chapter one. Is that where we were?

[A]

Sweet?

[C]

Hallelujah. Of course, you've probably figured out by now, my husband and I, we kind of tag team, especially on this subject. But this one verse here that he's brought us to the first couple mornings here, we want to look at that. We want to jump off here. Glory to God. And this, of course, is Paul in jail, writing to the Philippians. Praise the Lord. And he was not so concerned about himself. He was not so concerned about his situation in jail. You know, it's just circumstances. It wasn't pleasant, but it was just circumstances. But he was so occupied with the big picture. He was so occupied with those in Philippi and those in Ephesus in different places, that they enhance, that they move forward, that they come up in the things of God, that his focus really wasn't on where he was. However, he was still looking to get out. Glory to God. And he said in verse 18, he said what then notwithstanding every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is preached. And I therein do rejoice. Yes, and I will rejoice. No matter where I'm at, no matter what's going on, I'm going to rejoice.

[B]

Hallelujah.

[C]

For I know that this situation, this prison sentence, whatever death sentence they're trying.

[B]

To pass on me, I know that this shall turn.

[C]

For my salvation. How? Through your prayer? Not my. Paul didn't say not my prayer. Through your prayer and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ. And what we've been bringing out and looking at is his, the prayer of the people he was speaking to. Created, generated, directed the flow, the power of God to a certain situation. For I know that this will turn. Glory to God. It's going to turn. I know. He was so confident. What? In the people's ability to direct the power of God in the right direction. Direction.

[B]

Hallelujah.

[C]

Glory to God. I know that this is going to turn. It's going to turn for my salvation through your prayer and the supply of the Spirit. Hallelujah. And then James 5. Praise God. You know, there's so much we could. You could minister on on this subject for the rest of the year and never bring out all that there is for us to learn. So we're going to believe in God to hit exactly what we need to hit to help us get exactly where we need to go. I'm just not willing to leave here like I came. I'm just not willing to do church as usual. Glory to God. There is so much to accomplish in this last day. There's so much to get done, and we want to be effective in every area of prayer. And so in James 5, we looked at this as well. 5. Glory to God. Verse 16. Confess your faults one to another and pray for one another that you may be healed. The effectual, fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. It availeth much. Effectual, fervent. My husband was saying one word, right? Energeo. Ooh. Energy. Power. The power of God. Hallelujah. Energy. Glory to God. Hallelujah. The effective fervent. The energized prayer. The powerful prayer. The powerful. How do. How do we. How do we get to powerful prayer? Right. You know, people have lots of ideas of what prayer should be, and if we're not careful, we'll just create our own idea instead of finding out what the word has to say. Many years ago, oh, maybe six or seven years ago, not long after we had moved to Colorado, we were in a midweek service, and we were just beginning our church there in Colorado, and we didn't have a ton of people there that evening, maybe five or six people had shown up, and we were just led to sit around in a circle and pray. And so we were in prayer. And I was kind of lost in the spirit a little bit. And the Lord ministered to my heart. You know, I get excited whenever the Lord says anything, you know, and he ministered to my heart, and he said this. He said, become proficient in prayer. And I was like, ooh, that sounds good. I wrote it down. You know, when the Lord says something to you, it's wonderful. And it wasn't really until after I got home and started meditating on that when I realized it was kind of a rebuke. Become proficient in prayer.

[B]

I mean, we'd been in the ministry.

[C]

For quite some time at this point.

[B]

I'd been born again for a long time.

[C]

I'd been praying for a couple decades. And he was saying, get with it, girl. Become proficient. Get good at this. We need some effective people in the spirit realm.

[B]

It's not just.

[C]

It's good to come before the Lord to pray in other tongues. It's good to get in that habit. But we want to be effective, proficient. We want to get good at it. Hallelujah. And so this morning, if we could. Don't worry, my husband will come up after me and clean anything up. But I want to talk about. I want to just bring out one Point to you this morning, and that is this. If we want to be effective in prayer. Effective like God needs us to be effective. We need to desire what God desires. We need to want it, go after it. My husband and I, let's see, in December, we will have been married 30 years. We did not last 30 years in marriage by just doing our own thing, but just going our own way. Meeting up for supper once in a while and saying, hey, how you doing? No, no, no. His desires. I'm interested in those. My desires. He's interested. If we find out one another wants something or desire something, we're all over that. We're all over that. Like, we went shopping a couple weeks ago and he saw some things and he's like, oh, those are nice. And I said, yeah, those are nice. You need those. Glory to God. You should have those.

[B]

Those will look good on you.

[C]

Glory to God. What is that? My desire.

[B]

Because I care for Him.

[C]

His desires become my desires.

[B]

And if we really care for the.

[C]

Lord, as we say we do, then his desires, they must be.

[D]

Be.

[C]

They must become our desires. Glory to God. So would you this morning turn with me to Isaiah, chapter six. Hallelujah. Isaiah, chapter 6, verse 1. And it says this. In the year that King Uzziah died. I saw. Now this is Isaiah talking. I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train, his glory filled the temple. Where is Isaiah right now? He's in the throne. He's in the throne room. Praise the Lord. I saw the Lord sitting upon the throne high and lifted up and his train filled the temple. Above it stood the seraphims.

[B]

Each.

[C]

Each one had six wings with twain he covered his face. With twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly. I can't wait to see those guys. Hey, that is nothing like we have seen here on earth, right? God is so amazing. He is so amazing. The creatures, the. The things that have been created. Glory to God. And one cried onto another and said.

[B]

Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts. The whole.

[C]

The whole of heaven is filled with his glory.

[B]

Holy, holy, holy.

[C]

We can't wait until earth is filled with his glory.

[B]

No, no, no.

[C]

They are faith creatures. Glory to God.

[B]

Hallelujah. What are they saying? Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty. The whole earth is filled with your glory.

[C]

I'm sorry. What is the glory of God? The manifested presence. The power. The power of God. And what is the cry, Faith cry of heaven? What is the heartbeat at the throne room? One seraphim.

[B]

The whole Earth is full of your glory. And it shouts over to the other seraphim. And he says, the whole earth is filled with your glory. And continually, over and over, they're saying, the whole earth is filled with your glory. With your glory, with your glory, with your glory. With your glory, with your glory. Heavens cry.

[C]

Their desire. The whole earth filled with his power, with his manifested presence. Glory to God.

[B]

Hallelujah.

[C]

The whole earth. So if that's heaven's desire, it should be our desire. And when we go to prayer, we need to lock in with his desire. Father, it's your desire that this earth be filled with your glory. And I know your glory needs a landing spot. And so I volunteer, I flat volunteer to be a landing spot for your glory.

[B]

Hallelujah.

[C]

My church, we volunteer. We volunteer to be a landing spot for your glory.

[B]

Hallelujah.

[C]

Where it can flood in and reside. Stay for as long as you like and then flow out of this place. Glory to God.

[B]

Help us spill this thing over into the region.

[C]

Glory to God. Into the county.

[B]

Glory, glory, glory. We volunteer. We desire to be full, full, full, full, full.

[C]

Of his glory. If we're going to pray effectively.

[A]

We.

[C]

Need to desire what God desires. And if it's his desire. Oh, I'm. I'm just. I'm going to set everything else aside to make sure that this happens first. To make sure that this is my priority. Hallelujah. Acts chapter two, please. Glory, glory, glory, glory. I hope we're familiar with Acts chapter two. Hallelujah. The day of Pentecost, when the Holy Spirit was poured out. Hallelujah. Suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing, mighty wind. And it filled all the house where they were sitting. There appeared onto them cloven tongues as a fire. And it sat upon each of them.

[A]

They were all what?

[B]

Filled.

[A]

Ha.

[C]

They were all filled with the Holy Ghost and began to speak with other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance. And we know that at that fullness that didn't just stay in the room, it shook that room, it filled them to overflowing. And they wound up spilling out glory to God outside into town. And the ministers convention that happened to be there in Jerusalem at the time.

[B]

They all came by and said, what.

[C]

In the world is going on? Well, it wasn't of this world, praise the Lord. But it was a merging of the spirit realm, the spirit world being poured into this realm. And it caught the notice of everybody around. It caught the notice of everybody around because some people were willing to. To be a landing spot. And Peter Stands up Peter, who had just not long ago run away and denied the Lord Jesus. He stands up full of boldness, full of the Spirit. And he says in verse 15, for these are not drunken as you suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day. But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel. What was spoken? It shall come to pass in the last days. I'm sorry, what days are we in right now?

[B]

We are in the last days. It shall come to pass.

[A]

Pass.

[B]

In the last days, saith God, I.

[C]

Will pour out of my spirit upon all flesh. What's heaven's desire? To pour out. To pour out. To pour out. To pour out. Not just on his people, but get.

[B]

The people so full. So full.

[C]

So full that when they get out into that world, they're so sloshing over. You know, I clean up my kitchen quite a bit because it gets dirty. But your sponge can only get so full. Your sponge can only get so full until it can't even pick up anything else.

[A]

Why?

[C]

Because you just look at it and it oozes. That's the way we should be. Glory to God. If we're going to be people of prayer, we're going to have to be.

[B]

So full, so full of him and.

[C]

His glory and his things and his desires. Glory to God, that we're just. Mmm. Like Brother Smith Wigglesworth, just getting on the train, sitting down and people trembling, fallen down on their knees and saying, my God, man, you convict me of sin, pray for me. They didn't know who he was for nothing, what he was full. It shall come to pass in the last days, says God. It shall come to pass. It shall come. It shall come to pass. God's not messing around with this. It shall come to pass.

[B]

To pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my spirit upon all flesh.

[C]

And your sons and your daughters shall prophesy. And your young men shall see visions.

[B]

And your old men shall dream dreams. And on my servants and on my handmaidens, I will pour out in those days of my spirit. And they shall prophesy. Glory to God. I'll show wonders in heaven above, signs, in the earth beneath blood, fire, vapor, smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, the moon into blood. Before that great and notable day of the Lord.

[C]

And it shall come to pass that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. What's the end game, guys? What's the reason we're here? What's the reason we need to be effective in Prayer. Ha. So that whosoever shall call upon the name. We're making power available. We are directing the power where it needs to be.

[B]

So that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord. They'll have what they need. They'll have that person right there to.

[C]

Say, you need Jesus. You need to be born again.

[B]

Hallelujah.

[C]

To pray effectively, we need to know the word. We need to know how to be led by the Spirit. But we need to desire what he desires. Make it my priority. I'm preaching to me today. Glory to God.

[A]

Why?

[C]

Because we can all get better at this. We can all place our focus more intently than we have before. We all live in the natural realm. We all have natural responsibilities. We're always going to have things come up. We're all at different points in life. You might say, well, I have little babies. I don't have time. Listen, listen. Been there, done that. Glory to God. You can still be hungry for the things of God. You can be rocking that baby in.

[B]

The middle of the night and praying.

[C]

Father, I just worship you. I thank you for your plan coming to pass.

[B]

I thank you for the glory of.

[C]

God being, filling this earth.

[B]

We're so grateful. Hallelujah. You wherever you're at whatever stage you.

[C]

Might think, oh, I just.

[B]

I just got born again a little bit ago. I don't know nothing.

[C]

Listen, we've all been there, but if you're hungry, oh, God can put you light years ahead. Praise the Lord. Okay, can I read one more? I just want to read you a vision that. Well, part of a vision that Brother John Lake received. Is that all right? Many of you, probably you might have heard this. Glory to God. But I just want to remind us. Brother John Lake, of course, he was a minister, late 1800s, early 1900s. Many of you have probably heard of him. Tremendous, tremendous, tremendous man of God. He was missionary to South Africa, changed the nation, and then he moved back to America. This vision, he had a vision of an angel that came to speak with him, and it was in 1920. He had just recently moved back to Portland, Oregon. Started an amazing work with some healing rooms and just a tremendous, powerful man of God. And this angel in the vision took him really throughout the world, all these different nations of the world, and showed him what was going on in these different nations and how the power of God. Now, this is 1920. If you study any history, church history, and things like this, you'd understand the Azusa Street Revival had just occurred in 1906-1910. The glory of God was so strong in that revival in Los Angeles, California. It says the glory was so in manifestation there that there was an actual cloud that most everyone that was there saw. It was so thick.

[A]

Ha.

[C]

The train of his robe filling the temple, it was so thick that little kids would play hide and seek in the glory. In the glory.

[B]

Ha ha ha ha. Glory to God.

[C]

And So this is 10 years later, and the angel showing him how things had dissipated already, how things had waned. And the angel said, human selfishness and human pride have consumed and dissipated the very glory and heavenly power that God once gave from heaven to this movement. As you have beheld tonight. Should I say it again? Human selfishness and human pride have consumed, dissipated the very glory and heavenly power that God once gave from heaven to this movement. What's that? It's simply changing our focus, Being more consumed with the natural, our advancement, getting things done. Lord, I'll be with you in a minute. But really, I've got to focus on some natural things now. I've got to raise my babies. I've got to get a little bit further in my job. I've got to make a little bit more money and put it back there.

[A]

And then.

[C]

Then I'll be interested in your things. This angel was grieved at the way the humans behaved. And so the angel turns after he's done all this, and it says he took a step or two away. And John Lake says, in a sort of despair, my heart cried out, angel.

[B]

These.

[C]

These men, they're struggling for want of an ideal. What constitutes real Pentecost? What ideal should be held before the minds of men? And John Lake says, during all this time of the vision, I had carried my Bible in my hand. And the angel reached for the Bible, and he opened to the book of Acts, chapter two. And he ran his finger down over the second page, that portion where the spirit of God came down from heaven. And he proceeded through the whole book, Acts. The angels thumbing through page after page to the great outstanding revelations and phenomena. And he said, this is Pentecost as God gave it through the heart of Jesus. Strive for this, contend for this, teach the people to pray for this, for this. And this alone will meet the necessity of the human heart.

[B]

And this alone will have the power.

[C]

To overcome the forces of darkness. And when the angel was departing, he said, pray, pray, pray. Teach the people to pray. Prayer and prayer alone, much prayer, persistent prayer is the door of entrance into the heart of God. Thank you, jesus.

[D]

Lo, did I. Yeah, I did it right. You open up all them cans of worms. You got to stay up here. Come on. Praise God.

[C]

I'm good at opening cans.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

I loved so much of what was said in Isaiah there. The occupation of heaven, or what heaven is consumed with according to the Word, is the movement of God in the earth. And the plan of God in the earth. Isn't that interesting? Isn't that interesting? I mean, you might say, how do you know? All I know is what the Word said. Holy, holy, holy. The whole earth is full of. That's what's being spoken in. In the throne room. Something about the earth and the plan of God in the earth. And so I loved all that was said about us making our focus his focus. That's not something that we should presume is always the case. You know, Paul, when he was writing also in the book of Philippians, in the second chapter, he said, I'm going to send you Timothy. He said, I have no man like minded who will care for your state. Now, boy, if anybody needed help, it would be the apostle Paul. I mean, folk who were. And you know, you think about all the lives that had been changed from the time that the day of Pentecost started, and you see all the thousands getting saved and coming in. You think of all the people who were. Who would say, man, my life's been just rocked by Jesus, you know, And Paul has one person, and it goes on to say. Goes on to say, he said, they all care for their own things, not those which belong to Christ. And so I love that emphasis because it is needful that we have that the things that live the biggest in us are the things that are big to God. And you might say, well, that'd be such a sacrifice. No, it's not. Come on now. There's no. Are you kidding me? What is your life anyhow? If I understand this whole salvation thing correctly, and I don't know everything, that's why I married her, you know, I don't know it all, but if I understand this whole salvation thing correctly, he gave everything for us, and when we say yes, we give everything to him. Is that. I don't know that that's in the popular version of the gospel.

[C]

Oh, come on, come on, come on.

[D]

I don't know if that's in New Gospel, but that's in Bible gospel.

[E]

That's Bible gospel, right?

[C]

Yes, sir.

[D]

I mean, it's just Lord, yes. And I know for me, I didn't even know a scripture when I got saved. I didn't. Nobody told me John 3:16 and I. It's amazing. I got saved in spite of that, you know, I didn't know the right way to order the prayer, but somehow it just came out. And. But what I did say, I said, lord, if you can do anything with my life, here it is, you know? Well, I guess I meant it, you know. Did you mean it? Did you mean it? Well, then, if you do, when you hear that this is what God is all about, then that's what gets big in you. But the thing about it is, I guess over the years, I know this thing about what God's doing in the end times and what God's doing in the earth, it has gotten bigger and bigger and bigger in us. And at one point, the Lord dealt with me, you have to leave your church. And I'm like, say, do what? I mean, we put our everything into that. This was in New York. And he said, I need to send you somewhere else. You need to do that. But if I said, if it's for. If it's for this thing that keeps rolling around in me, then that's fine. That's no problem. And what we've discovered, you're not going to be too shocked about this, but what we've discovered is anytime we've put his plan first and his stuff first, man, he's taking care of us. I said, he's taking care of us and our desires and our stuff. And man, happy to do it, right? It's a joy. So the whole earth being full of his glory, that was prophesied back in Isaiah. And then we read over in the second chapter of Acts, really part of the fulfillment of that, didn't we? When the day of Pentecost came and we see power coming into the earth. Well, that's part of it, but that's not. We haven't reached the whole earth yet. There have been. She mentioned the Azusa revival. I mean, before Internet, before television, you know, they had some radio and all that. But I mean, that thing just did lapse around the earth. You know what I mean? Why? Why? Well, one thing that you could point to, if you study these different moves of God or revivals, one thing you can point to is a high concentration of power in that one. You know what I mean? If you studied it, and I mean, the miracles. It's been a number of years ago where that book about the little kids being. The kids being used had gone around. That was a popular book, but it was great because it talked about how all the young ones would. I mean, they just sit there in the service in the glory of God. And the young ones, they tell them, anytime you minister to somebody in a wheelchair, you make sure that those gates are open for them to come out. Because otherwise, you know, they get up and trip over the feet things. You don't want that, right? And they said. One of my favorites is they said they would put their. Find somebody who had lost teeth, and they would put their fingers. That's kind of gross. But, hey, if it causes somebody to be healed, we'll do it right. They put their fingers on the gums of people who didn't have teeth, and the teeth would just come in. Anybody had read those stories about that, well, they got to a level of the miraculous that we would call extraordinary, outstanding. And don't get me wrong, we're so grateful for anything that God does. We love it, all right? And so we don't minimize a shoulder being loosed like last night. We don't minimize that at all. We're grateful for that. We rejoice on. We rejoice about everything. But we're also like she talked about when the angel in that vision said, contend, contend for this, strive for this. Well, we just want all. We just want the fullness of all that God can do, which is infinite. And the Bible uses the word exceeding abundantly above all we could ask or think. And so it's our desire, because it's God's desire to manifest himself in the earth. It's God's desire to man. His, I think we could say his great desire, his supreme desire, even for him to be able to manifest himself wherever he wants, whenever he wants. You might say, well, he's God. Why can't he? Evidently, these things take the cooperation. We've seen scripture that shows it. These things take the cooperation of his body in prayer. Jesus, you know, when he went to heaven, before he went to heaven, he delegated his authority on the earth to his body. He said, all power, all authority, really, in the Greek, in heaven and earth, is given to me. Therefore telling you go. Therefore I'm telling you on the earth. The ones who reside on the earth, you take that authority. Go, go, go. What? Go where? Home? To the theater? To the restaurant? Well, as you go. Jesus said, he that believes on me, the works that I do, he'll do also, and greater than these. And so really, what. What is God doing on the earth today? Well, ultimately, Jesus is coming back. Jesus is coming back. But before he comes, there must be the completion of his body. Huh? You wouldn't want your body to go Somewhere without three of your limbs, would you. One eye, one arm, one leg. No. The body needs to be completed. I don't know at what point that is. I don't know at what number that is. If there is a number. Just when the fullness has come. But we know one thing that it takes for that to happen is the supernatural. An outpouring of the power of God. We appreciate everything that can be done in terms of outreach, you know, and you know, in our churches we were led at different times, have this outreach and there's folk who are with us today that 20 years ago we were giving out bottled water at some event in the community. We had just started our church and that's how they found us. You know what I mean? Those things are good. But you're not. We're not going to get. We're not going to get to the return of the Lord just with bottled water or cans of pop. Some churches go real big. Yeah. Give away the big screen tv. Well, I'd go and put my name in the drawing for an 80 inch screen. I would, but I don't know that I'd come back after I got it. So, you know, it's okay to be led in outreaches, but I'll tell you what will get the job done. Hallelujah. When the rivers of revival rise. Amen. And so, you know, I know I want to, I want to just taking things and pulling, pulling the thread and cinching it a little bit here. Praise God. I know when in that vision when the angel said, contend for this, strive for this in prayer, I want to bring this out if I can. And then we'll just get into some prayer if we can. But contend and strive makes it sound like, man, this is a struggle, this is a burden, this is heavy. And if you're not carrying this around, kind of walking around like this, you know, bowed over a little bit, then you're not doing it. That's not so. I said, that's not so. You hearing me? Matter of fact, I know a story of a minister who saw some church members and this one lady just had this like really scrunched up look on her face and was walking, bowed over and somebody said, what's wrong with that lady? And they said, oh, she's an intercessor. She ain't the right kind of intercessor. I said, she's not the right kind of intercessor. What was she doing? She was just trying to take the burden of all this. And listen, you got to understand this. We're not trying to talk God into his own plan. We just not. We're not trying. We're not trying to get God to do any of this. We're cooperating with him in prayer because he needs the whole body, head and body together, walking the same, in agreement. And that's the purpose. That's the purpose of the kind of prayer we're talking about. Amen. Are you hearing me? So that you don't have to walk with your shoulders all stooped over when it says contend, when it says strive. It's a cooperation with God's spirit in prayer. A cooperation. It's not a burden. It's not a burden. Guess who does all the heavy lifting? Not you, huh? Lord does the heavy lifting. And I know the Bible said in Acts, it shall come to pass in the last days. Well, to a degree, it has come to pass. From God's standpoint, we're not begging for revival. We're not begging for an outpouring. Huh? We're experiencing it to a degree already. But praise God, we're aligning ourselves and cooperating with all he's wanting to do. Amen. And as we do, power is released. Amen. And believe. We saw some of. Believe. We've even seen some of that. You know, we can't say that yesterday's prayer fueled last night's service. I'm not trying to say things like that. I don't know. But at some point when things start happening like that and different flows, there was some prayer released at some point, some prayer made. And so we just want to keep that going, because we do. We do not want the Lord to. And all of heaven to be saying, the whole earth is full of his glory. And we just be sitting on our. You know what I'm saying? How about. How about we get into the presence of God here a little bit and see where he lead us today in prayer? Amen. It's not hard. We're going to contend, we're going to strive. But it's striving with his power that works in us mightily. Glory to God. Glory. Father, we're so grateful. We can't tell you enough how much we appreciate you, how much we love you. You're a good God. You're a good God. You're a good God. We thank you, Father. We echo your word, which says, the whole earth is full of your manifestation. The whole earth is full of your glory. The whole earth full of your presence. The whole earth full of your power. Thank you that it's so. Thank you that it's so, Father.

Praise. Praise. Praise. Praise. Praise. Praise. Praise. Praise. Praise. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.

[C]

Praise the Lord. Hallelujah. I once heard Patsy Caminetti. She was one of dad Hagin's helpers who worked at the ministry for many years. Most of you probably have heard her name, but I heard her say one time that, you know, if you're just going to be a Christian that comes to church, you know, a couple times a month and just goes to God to pray for your family. I need my finances met. Please heal my elbow. You know, if you're going to be that kind of Christian, you probably don't need the Ephesians prayers. You know what I mean? The ephesians prayers. Ephesians 1, Ephesians 3. Glory to God. That we might come to know and to see that our eyes might be enlightened, that we'd have understanding. Glory to God. To know who we are in Christ. Christ. To know what belongs to us in Christ. To know the exceeding greatness of his.

[B]

Power that's towards us, in us.

[C]

Glory to God. You might not need those prayers to just kind of live a natural life. Just hook. Hook to God once in a while. But if you're going to pray the plan of God, if you're going to learn to be effective for him in the last days, if you are going to make an effect in your life, in your baby's lives, in your church's life, in your family's life, in your neighbor's life, in the people you work with in their lives, if you're going to make an effect in this earth for God, you're going to need to know some things. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. You can want to under. That's why we're praying out here. Oh, that we'd see, that we know. That we'd see, that we'd know.

[B]

Hallelujah.

[C]

All that you'd have us to see. All that you'd have us to know. Glory to God. It's not just about praying the same thing over and over and saying, oh, please, Lord, send. We've already. We've already said it on Monday, on Tuesday. There's nothing wrong with God's power. Glory to God. It's all available. Hallelujah. It's making sure that we're the vessel. Pastor Nancy's been masterful this week at helping us. Glory to God. Helping us make sure our vessel is able and in the right condition to receive all, all, all of his glory. Hallelujah. Glory, Glory, Glory, glory.

[D]

We're not done necessarily praying.

[C]

Yeah, yeah.

[D]

God's God's not awkward. He can. He'll help us hook back up.

[C]

Absolutely.

[D]

But sometimes stop and redirect things. Praise the Lord. I want us to just worship him a little bit from just. From where you are. Just, just, Father, thank you. Worship you. Worship you. Yeah. We love you, Magnify you, Glorify you. Bless you. Bless you. Bless you. Bless you. Bless you. Bless you. Bless you. Oh, praise you. Praise you. Okay. Okay. Thank you, master. Now we. We pray.

Your wisdom would be your wisdom. Your purposes would be their purposes. Your plan would become their plan. Oh, yes.

[A]

Hallelujah. I have. You can be seated. I have for some time been prompted in my time of prayer to be praying what Pastor Amy? Something that in line with what she was calling, and that was for God to raise up the voices that. That to lead the era. And I was talking about it because I remember I was talking about it with another pastor some time ago because I remember when I got saved, I got saved when the church was in revival. I got saved during the Word of Faith. And so I only saw what the church looked like in revival. So it baffled me when I saw it looking different. And I go, oh, so this is what the church looks like outside of a move of God, not on God's side, but on man's side. And so I. I remember when I got born again. And coming in, of course, there was dad Hagen, lester Sumrall and T.L. osborne, and Oral Roberts and Charles Capps, and, you know, all these scores of skilled.

[B]

Bold.

[A]

Keen, accurate ministers speaking and leading the body. And there was a wonderful abundance and supply for the body through these voices. And not only that, the precious pastors that were all the different ones that God was using. And I was saying to a pastor a couple of years ago, I said, I just don't see the same. And I'm just saying me. I'm just saying me and he, we were talking about it because we were saying the same thing. And then that night, he went to a meeting with Ken Jr. Dad Hagin's son. And he said something in the service that I appreciated because he said, you know, in previous revivals, he said, like the healing revival. And I get. And I don't know if he was quoting dad or other ministers or what, but he said this. He said there were no leading voices, so to speak. But when the revival started moving and getting momentum, all of a sudden, out of hiding, out of the secret places, God, like virtually overnight, they showed up. God's training people in secret. He doesn't train them in full public View always. He trains them in secret. And so people you've never heard of, all of a sudden, when God puts them. Not when, not when social media drives a certain thing. Not when, not when your own promotional things. But, but I'm talking about when God. When God puts someone in a place. And that's what we're going to see. And I believe that's what she's praying about now. I'm praying others, no doubt, the ones that God raises up, the ones not what popularity raises up and things. But the thing that I was just, I was just taking note of a moment ago was this, was that when God gives a voice, he doesn't give a voice for personal views, opinions to be expressed. The voice is for one, one thing to say what God says. And it's very critical when God raises up a voice that that voice peels away opinion, their own opinion, their own views. Because that voice is not for that. It's not for any social purposes, political purposes, economic purposes. It's for God's purpose only. That voice is for God. And Jesus understood that because he said, I only say what I hear my Father say. And you know, he had his own views as a man. He had his own views, he had his own thoughts towards something. But when he had the ear of the world, he. He only said what his father said. He did not use that, the. The platform that voice gave him to, to spread and then prophesy, supposedly prophesy, using the vehicle of prophecy to express their own views, Saying it's God, when it's really supposedly the outlet of prophecy being used to express and give credibility to their own views and stuff. We have to be trusted with the voice. And so it's so important that you pray for those that God raises up. And even the Holy Spirit, he does not express anything of himself. He takes what he hears of the Father and he makes that known. The Holy Spirit who dwells in the earth and indwells the body of Christ does not use that position to express his own. He's there expressing his Father. Amen. Him and the Father are one. Amen in that. So it's just very important, important that our pastors, that we pray for our pastors, we pray for those who have voices in communities and in states and nation that you pray for the purity of the voice. You know, praise the Lord, because the direct. What the voices say determine. Listen, Caleb and Joshua, their voice could have worked a whole different future if they'd have listened to the right voice. But those 10 spies, instead of being Voices for God to speak through. They became voices of their own views, their own unbelief, their own doubt. And they misled a nation. Well, praise the Lord. Just P.S. right there. Just a P.S. yeah. And so because if God. God can't leave in, in leading voice positions those who misuse the voice. Amen. And so we want to make sure that we're not misusing a voice. Praise the Lord, because God's going to raise them up more. Amen. Hallelujah. Well, we want to go ahead this morning and receive our morning offering toward the expense of. I don't have the totals from what was received in last night's offering yet, but yesterday afternoon we were about $5,000 away from meeting the budget. So that's. That's good. Praise the Lord. And we're believing double. I said we're. We're calling double. We're believing double. Amen. Hallelujah. And so if you're giving this morning by check, making it payable to Defrain Ministries dm, if you're giving by an cash, please fill out that offering envelope completely for us so that we can properly receipt you and your giving. And then of course we have on the screen the option for text to give. So if you want to give by that method, that may be something that you would rather use. Hallelujah. While you're doing that, of course we remind you of the services. You don't want to miss three more services. It's gone so fast. It's like, I don't know. I'd like to. I'd like to be able for us to say it sometime. We get to do what dad Hagin would talk about. You know, he says, I never accept a meeting for less than six weeks. It's like this generation doesn't quite know about that kind of thing. But I. At some point we're going to have to get into think things longer to go further. Thank you, Pastor. Hallelujah and praise the Lord. So brother Joel's materials did arrive. So go back there. Love this one. It's basically a daily devotional driving every trace of fear out of your thought life. Fearless. I have sent this to loved ones and different ones because so many times people have been so entrenched in fear, they don't recognize it's fear anymore. They just think it's their own way of operating when it's fear dictating it. And he helps you to recognize what you might have become used to. And I really believe that really. So, so few people in the body of Christ really knows what a life of peace is really in its fullness. I believe so few really know that. But fear, fear has so many things that go with it. Worry is nothing but fear. An outflow of fear, anxiety, panic attacks, all these kinds of things that people are self medicating for come from the spirit of fear. And so learning to recognize fear is the first step to taking your stand against it. Amen. And fear is a spirit. It's not just a feeling, it's a spirit that will produce a feeling, but it's still a spirit. And it's a spirit we have complete authority over. Wonderful book out there. And I said, I said, said to him when he wrote this, I said like where Were you like 25 years ago? What took you so long? Because you know when you're a young believer and you're learning to recognize and I wasn't one who was, who had any necessarily fear issues in my life except when the spirit shows up. It's a whole nother thing. It's one thing for people to have kind of like their temperament and their more pessimistic and they have a bend towards the negative. I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about it's one thing to be able to recognize and stand against fear just in your daily life. It's another thing to be untroubled by fear. When a demon shows up, you got to be able in both of those places to recognize and take your stand. So that is out there. And then this is a great, great book. So simple faith. See simple sea cover. Simple, simple. I'm so glad that God made it simple. Jesus did the hard part. But we can overcomplicate it. If something's not simple, it's because we have left the faith arena and the mind turns everything difficult and cloudy and overworked. And so wonderful, wonderful book on the subject of faith. And then we have out there also this one will help your, help you stay balanced in your faith. Knowing your measure of faith, people think, oh that's not faith to say I have a measure. Well, you better know your measure. You better know your measure because the whole spiritual life is a progression and even your faith will progress and grow. Amen. And then, and this book by my husband, there's a healer in the house, so that's out there for you to get hold of. These things will be a blessing to you. Of course we want to remind you of service times tonight. And then tomorrow night is our double up offering night. And if you say, well, I won't be here tomorrow night. Well, you can put it in beforehand. That won't hurt our feelings. You don't have to be that legalistic. And so that means double up, means whatever we're going to give, we're going to double it and give. Amen. Then tomorrow night there will be ministry to the sick for anyone who needs hands laid on them for healing. Amen. And also, if there's a testimony of healing during these services, we want to hear about it. So if you would, there's a card back at the book table for you to fill out. You can leave it at the book table once it's filled out, or you can mail it in or. Or you can go to our [e-mail] and there's a place to fill out a healing testimony. We want to hear about it. Amen. Are you ready to give this morning? Hold your offering up before the Lord. Father, we thank you for the opportunity to give. Every time we give, we're declaring you're our provider. We're so grateful for what we've heard in these meetings, for what you're working in us, Father, we say we change. We take the change in every service we're looking to change, for we come up into greater levels of glory as we change. And so, Father, we could never pay for that which is changing in us, but we can certainly honor it with this, with the. With the gift and the generosity. And so we thank you for the privilege and the opportunity to give. And this morning, we release our faith. As we give, we declare together that my God shall supply all my need according to his riches and glory by Christ Jesus. And everybody said, amen. Ushers, go ahead and pass the offering bucket as it goes your way. Say this with me. All the money that Defrain Ministries needs, it'll come. All the money that my church needs, it'll come. All the money that I need, it'll come. All the money that my business needs, it will come. Amen. Praise the Lord. After the offering bucket goes your way, stand with us to your feet. Turn to somebody before you're dismissed and say what God is interested in. That's what I'm interested in. Amen. We trust you've enjoyed this message.
