Episode Overview

In this spiritually charged episode, Jentezen Franklin delivers a powerful message on the remedy for unanswered prayers, focusing on the metaphor of "the treasury of snow" from Job 38:22. He explores how consistent, even short, prayers accumulate over time like snowflakes, creating spiritual reservoirs that unleash God’s blessings when the season is right. Franklin uses biblical analogies, personal anecdotes, and memorable stories to urge listeners not to give up, especially during spiritual "winters," but to keep praying in faith and expectancy, knowing that every prayer counts.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The "Treasury of Snow" – Prayers as Spiritual Reservoirs

• Scriptural Foundation: Job 38:22 and Isaiah 55:8-10 are used to show the comparison of God’s word and snow—accumulating quietly until it brings life in the right season.
  • “Have you entered into the treasury of snow which I, God, have reserved...for the day of trouble, for the day of battle?” (01:00)
• Prayer, like individual snowflakes, may seem insignificant alone, but their collective power can move mountains (or Mack trucks).
  • “One single snowflake doesn’t have much power... But if enough of them get together, they can cause a big Mack truck to go off of a cliff.” (04:19, Jentezen Franklin)

2. Short Prayers Build Long-Term Miracles

• Encouragement to persist in "short prayers," stacking them continually, even when answers are delayed or circumstances seem unchanged.
  • “Every time you pray it...you don’t get weary in doing right... For you will reap if you faint not.” (06:13, Jensen Franklin)
• These prayers accumulate into "mountain peaks" in the spiritual realm, flowing into breakthroughs at God’s appointed time.
  • “If you have stored up enough snow when the season changes...the river begins to flow down with life-giving water. Only if you’ve been storing up in the treasury of snow.” (05:08, Jensen Franklin)

3. The Best Time to Pray: In Spiritual "Winter"

• Prayers during cold, lifeless seasons—the times when nothing seems to be happening—are especially precious to God.
  • “Nothing’s alive. It’s cold. I’m in a spiritual winter... That’s when you store up snow.” (06:51, Cherise Franklin)
• These stored prayers become blessings and breakthroughs, sometimes even for future generations.
  • “Many of the blessings that I walk in were piled up in prayer peaks generations before I ever got here.” (08:08, Jensen Franklin)

4. Persistence and Expectancy

• Notable illustration: Daniel’s 21 days of prayer and fasting led to angelic breakthrough (13:39–14:08).
• Story of Cornelius from Acts 10, whose persistent prayer and giving created a "spiritual glacier," opening salvation to the Gentiles—blessings that still flow today.
  • “Your prayers and your giving have come up as a memorial...like a memorial in Washington D.C.—Boom!” (15:17, Cherise Franklin)

5. The Unemployment of Angels

• Citing Revelation 5:8, Franklin states: if we don’t pray, angels have "nothing to do"—prayer fills bowls in heaven that, when full, are poured out as answered prayers.
  • “The greatest tragedy of prayerlessness is the unemployment of angels... keep praying and fill it up, God will tip it over.” (17:00–17:30, Cherise Franklin)

6. Historical Example: Pensacola Revival

• Franklin shares a story from the Brownsville Revival, where persistent prayer for over a year birthed a mighty move of God.
  • "I was so discouraged... so weary... for over a year I kept that prayer meeting going... and then, all of a sudden, the river of God swept over my feet." (24:50–26:10, Jentezen Franklin)
• Point: Revival and breakthrough do not come instantly but are the product of accumulated, sometimes unseen, prayers.

7. End-Times Expectation: Last Days Outpouring

• Link to prophecy in Joel 2 and Acts 2: The accumulated "treasury of snow" (prayers) will be released in the last days, bringing about global spiritual revival.
  • “In the last days, saith God, the snow peak...have been stored up waiting for this time. I will pour out my spirit on all flesh...” (27:02–27:52, Cherise Franklin / Jentezen Franklin)

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On the Power of Small, Persistent Prayers:
  • “Your prayers are like snowflakes that collect and store up...if enough of them collect, they become mountain peaks.” (04:47, Jentezen Franklin)
• On Praying in Difficult Times:
  • “When things are cold, when you’re in a spiritual winter, that’s the best time to store up prayers.” (06:41, Cherise Franklin)
• On Reviewing Generational Blessings:
  • “Many of the blessings that I walk in was piled up in prayer peaks generations before I ever got here.” (08:08, Jensen Franklin)
• On Prayer Bowls in Heaven:
  • “The greatest tragedy of prayerlessness is the unemployment of angels...if you keep praying and fill it up, God will tip it over.” (17:00–17:30, Cherise Franklin)
• On Not Giving Up:
  • “You just never know when you’re one ‘Hallelujah’ away from the prayer bowl being full, from the mountain peak...and all of a sudden, all heaven breaks loose.” (17:43, Jentezen Franklin)
• On Praying for the Next Season:
  • “The greater the snow, the greater the flow. When the breakthrough comes, it’s going to be quick.” (20:23, Jentezen Franklin)
• On Revival as the Result of Prayer:
  • “I was so discouraged...for over a year, I kept that prayer meeting going...and then, all of a sudden, the river of God swept over my feet.” (26:10, Jentezen Franklin)

Transcript

[Jensen Franklin]

Hello, this is Jensen Franklin, and thank you so much for joining us for this week's podcast. Our goal is to provide you with biblically based teachings that will challenge, inspire, and equip you to live for Jesus. If you haven't already, I'd love for you to go ahead and subscribe today to this podcast so you can get the latest updates from us and you don't ever have to miss a new message. Let's go right into the service. Record it at Freechapel. I believe it's going to bless you today.

Job, chapter 38 and verse 22 have you entered the treasure, the treasury of snow? Have you entered the treasury of snow? Or have you seen the treasury of hell, which I have reserved for the time of trouble? Notice snow and he's talking about hell,

[Cherise Franklin]

meaning

[Jensen Franklin]

frozen rain, he says, which I have reserved for the time of trouble. Reserve what snow for the time of trouble? For the day of battle and war. Verse 26 to cause it to rain on the land where there is none to verse 27 to satisfy desolate waste to cause the to spring forth the growth of tender grass. Verse 30 the waters harden like stone, and the surface of the deep is frozen. So you're wondering, what in the world is that about? Well, I want to preach to you for a few moments on having Creating, building a treasury, a reserve. Another word for treasury would be a reservoir. A reserve. Snow in Isaiah 55, 8 it says that the word of God is powerful, and he said, it will not return void. He said, your thoughts are not my thoughts, and your ways are not my ways and my words. As the rain comes down and the snow from heaven, just remember that and does not return there but the water on the earth to bring forth and to cause buds and cause the seeds to grow. So shall my word be that goes forth out of my mouth, so shall what the word be. It'll be like snow from heaven. It'll be There's a comparison that he's drawing to snow and to God's Word. And even when we speak God's Word, when we read God's Word, when we pray God's word, it's a type. It's in this text. It is a symbol of snow. And I'll show you that more and more as we go. I love the scripture in Isaiah 45 and verse 3. I'll give you treasures of darkness and hidden secrets in secret places. I love that verse. I've always loved that verse. I see it as the word of God is hidden treasure that you don't get unless God opens your eyes with revelation. I feel like this is one of those messages today. It is something that if you get a hold of it, it can change everything. And my main text today is job 38 and verse 22. Have you entered into the treasury of snow which I, God says reserve. I reserve it. If there's snow that someone has piled up and built up in prayer, I have a place there. And have you entered into the treasury of snow which I have reserved? Notice what it's for. For the day of trouble, for the day of battle. It's a metaphor about snow and prayer. For just as snow collects, one single snowflake doesn't have much power. If it hits the asphalt or hits the road, there's no transfer truck that's going to be deterred by one snowflake.

[Cherise Franklin]

But if enough of them get together

[Jensen Franklin]

and stick together, they can cause a big Mack truck to go off of a cliff. It's collective prayer. It's not just one, but the. And it's. And it's a little bitty tiny thing, you know, a snowflake. This is a fact. It has, it has six points. It is the Star of David perfectly. Every snowflake that falls forms the Star of David, like on the Israeli flag.

[Cherise Franklin]

And he said, your prayers are like

[Jensen Franklin]

snowflakes that collects and stores up and piles up. Snow collects and if enough of them

[Cherise Franklin]

collect, they become mountain peaks up high

[Jensen Franklin]

in the clouds and in the mountains of the highest mountains.

[Cherise Franklin]

And it builds a huge reservoir.

[Jensen Franklin]

And when the season change, the snow changes, the snow begins to melt. And suddenly that part of the, of your life that was dried up, that was withered up, that there was no breakthroughs coming. If you have stored up enough snow when the season changes and the river begins to flow down with life giving water, it will hit your life. Only if you've been storing up in the treasury of snow. You have to understand that snow collects, snow joins together, it piles up, it gathers, and it starts as a small thing. And that's what I've been preaching and

[Cherise Franklin]

writing about the power of short prayers.

[Jensen Franklin]

You just keep praying for those children,

[Cherise Franklin]

keep praying for that situation, keep praying

[Jensen Franklin]

for deliverance for someone that you love. And at first it just seems so far away. But every time you pray it, every

[Cherise Franklin]

time you ask God for it, you

[Jensen Franklin]

don't get weary in doing right, in doing good.

[Cherise Franklin]

And prayer is doing good and labor. Prayer is labor. But when you pray, keep doing it, for you will reap.

[Jensen Franklin]

If you faint not storing up snow and notice that you the best climate for snow is cold, is the atmosphere of cold. And when things are cold and when

[Cherise Franklin]

things in the winter, the trees are dead and everything's dead, that's the time

[Jensen Franklin]

that is most conducive to storing up prayers. Nothing's happening.

[Cherise Franklin]

Nothing's alive. It's cold. I'm in a. I'm in a spiritual winter. It doesn't feel like anything's happening. That's when you store up snow. And God keeps up with every one of those snowflakes. And one is joined to another and another. And for in some cases, some of you are only here because a granny or somebody in your family, a mother, a father, they would not give up. And even after that died, they had built a snow peak over your head. And when things were right, and God knows when the timing is right, don't ever give up on anybody. I don't care how bad they look, I don't care how messed up. I don't care what kind of winter they're in. And they're down to skin and bones. I will not give up praying. I will store up prayers for even generations to come because I know God says that's how my word will be. It will not return void. Every prayer matters. Every prayer is a snowflake connected to another. And sometimes for like in my family and in Cherise's family for generations, I believe that many of the blessings that I walk in was piled up in

[Jensen Franklin]

prayer peaks generations before I ever got here. If you don't have a collection of

[Cherise Franklin]

yet to be answered prayers, then you must not expect the flow in the river of God that brings life to hit your life. You have to keep praying yet to be answered prayers. And if they haven't happened yet, stack up some more, collect some more, send up some more. Pray about it while you're driving. Pray about it while you're doing the laundry. Pray about it while you're going through the drive through. Pray about it and keep storing it up.

[Jensen Franklin]

It's snow.

[Cherise Franklin]

It's the treasury. The scripture said Job said, I found out something about God. I'm in a winner in my life. I've lost so much. He lost his health, his wealth, his children. He was devastated. But he said, I've got a treasury

[Jensen Franklin]

of snow that's been stored up for

[Cherise Franklin]

the time of battle, for the day of trouble.

[Jensen Franklin]

You know where rivers come from? They come from mountain peaks where snow is piled up. And when the snow begins to melt, the river begins to flow. If there's no snow piled up, there'll Be no river that flows. No snow, no flow. The more you snow and you send

[Cherise Franklin]

snowflakes of prayer up.

[Jensen Franklin]

Just pray for that son.

[Cherise Franklin]

Pray for that daughter. I told the Lord I was praying for one of mine on the ride home. And I said, how long, O Lord? Because I'm believing for them to get a breakthrough.

[Jensen Franklin]

It's nothing bad, it's good.

[Cherise Franklin]

But I said, this is how long, Lord. I just want you to know I'm going to keep storing it up until avalanche on their life. Expecting to get a call any day. Hallelujah. I've been praying on that one for years and years.

[Jensen Franklin]

And you ready to give up because you didn't get it before lunch. And you won't get it before lunch today, I guarantee you. I'm kidding. No snow, no flow. When you begin to pray and seek God, when you begin to store up the word of God, when you begin to store up even the Bible, when you're reading, it is snow. He said, so shall my word be. It's like the snow. Keep storing it up. Keep going to that book. Don't get weary. Keep doing it. His word and prayers are like snow that collect in the storehouse and the river will begin to flow. I claim your deliverance. I claim your healing. God.

[Cherise Franklin]

Don't get weary because you keep getting bad. Doctor reports in the name of Jesus, just declare his word. He was wounded for my transgressions. He was bruised for my iniquities. The chastisement of my peace was upon him. And by his stripes I am healed.

[Jensen Franklin]

I just sent up a snowflake.

[Cherise Franklin]

Hallelujah. Keep claiming his promises over your provision and over the miracles that you need. There are times when it looks like nothing is happening, when it seems like nothing is taking place, when what you're doing is you're storing up in that time, forming mountain peaks of spiritual snow. You're filling the treasury of snow with something that when the season is right and God's timing is then that he says, I will send the flow of

[Jensen Franklin]

the river of life in Jesus. Name a snow peak. Build it up and build it up and build it up. That's why in 1st Thessalonians 5 and verse 16 and 17, it says, Rejoice always. Listen to this. And then he said, pray without ceasing.

[Cherise Franklin]

Pray.

[Jensen Franklin]

What keeps sending up snowflakes. Pray without ceasing. God, give me a baby. Somebody wants to have God give me a baby. And people laugh at you. They laughed at. They laughed at Sarah, they laughed at Mary, the Virgin. Oh, look at. Look At. Look. They laughed at Hannah.

[Cherise Franklin]

She couldn't have children.

[Jensen Franklin]

They laughed.

[Cherise Franklin]

Keep sending them up.

[Jensen Franklin]

You don't know what God can do.

[Cherise Franklin]

It is. It doesn't hurt to ask. Just keep ask. Never too late with God. I've seen God defy. Thank God for medicine. Thank God for our wonderful doctors and nurses and people who keep us healthy and help us all that they can with their amazing ability and talents. But I still believe in healing. I still believe that with long life he can satisfy us and show us his salvation.

[Jensen Franklin]

Praise God. Daniel.

[Cherise Franklin]

For 21 days in Daniel, chapter 10,

[Jensen Franklin]

he sent up snowflakes of fasting, snowflakes of prayer, snowflakes of God.

[Cherise Franklin]

You said in the prophecy and in your word that you would revisit the nation of Israel.

[Jensen Franklin]

And it's not happening.

[Cherise Franklin]

And he didn't stop on the first day. He didn't stop on the 10th day. He didn't stop on the 20th day. God told him 21 days.

[Jensen Franklin]

And he went 21 days and on.

[Cherise Franklin]

On the 21st day, here comes. Here comes the snow that's turned into a river. And an angel of God stands and

[Jensen Franklin]

he says, I have come to give you this word. And he began to tell him what God would do in his time and in his generation.

[Cherise Franklin]

I couldn't help but think about Cornelius

[Jensen Franklin]

in Acts, chapter 10. Who built a snow peak.

[Cherise Franklin]

He built a collective peak. The Bible said in Acts chapter 10 that he built such a memorial before God. A snow peak, a glacier, a spiritual glacier. This is a man who was a Gentile. Jews only had been exposed to the power of the gospel. But this man watched from the outside. And at that time, there was no Christian church. You and I, Gentiles, were shut out of the covenant.

[Jensen Franklin]

But here comes a Gentile man who does two things.

[Cherise Franklin]

Your prayers and your giving have come up as a memorial. You have created year after year, praying, even though you didn't even know who you're praying to. You were praying for, if there's any God out there, bless my family, bless my home.

[Jensen Franklin]

And as you.

[Cherise Franklin]

The angel comes and says your prayers and your giving have come up in heaven. They burst through the.

[Jensen Franklin]

I'm going to preach it like I want to. It's my sermon.

[Cherise Franklin]

I can see them bursting through the streets of gold. Hallelujah. Coming up like a. Like a memorial. Like you see in Washington D.C. the Washington Monument. Boom. And all of a sudden, God looks and he sees this memorial. And God says, send Simon Peter to go to that man's house and preach and let salvation come to the Gentiles think of that. We are here today because a man named Cornelius started praying prayer after prayer after prayer, and it formed a mountain peak, a snow peak. And when the snow started melting, it fell on his house. If you read the rest of that story, the Holy Spirit fell on his house and everyone that was in there when Simon Peter went and preached in that home. And I couldn't help but think, and even then, that river that he started is still flowing at Free Chapel this Sunday morning and wherever you are at because of one man who kept praying

[Jensen Franklin]

short prayers that stacked up, that piled up.

[Cherise Franklin]

Hallelujah. What I'm saying to you is, keep praying for your babies. Prayers never die. God puts them in veils in the book of Revelation. He said in Revelation chapter 5 that your prayers go into a golden veil. And when the. And when that vessel gets full, then an angel turns it over, and there comes the pouring out. Some of you. The greatest. The greatest tragedy of prayerlessness is the unemployment of angels. Some of you have angels in heaven and the sitting around doing nothing because you don't ever fill up the prayer bowls in heaven. But if you keep praying and you fill it up, God will tip it over, and then the angels of the Lord come. Oh, that don't sound. I don't care if you believe it or not. I believe in the supernatural. And if you're going to win the battle in the heavenlies, you're going to have to store up some snow prayers. You're going to have to have the treasury of snow.

[Jensen Franklin]

The entire Gentile population owes a great gratitude to a man named Cornelius who just kept praying. We're still in the flow today from the power that he stored up in his prayers. Especially when nothing's happening, that's when you are to pray. Your prayers are not vain. Now, I want to close with this and listen, but that don't mean come to the music yet. I'll let you know. I mean, you just never know when you're one. Hallelujah. Away from the prayer bowl being full from the mountain peak. You ever seen that? Those avalanches. And then there's a break. And then all of a sudden, all heaven breaks loose. Loose. In Psalms 147, in verse 15, it says, he sent forth his commandment upon the earth. He sent forth his commandment in verse 15 upon the earth. His word runs very swiftly. Watch. He gives snow like wool. He scatters the frost like ashes. And he casts out his hail like morsels. And that hail is the frozen rain. He's doing A comparison of frozen things and prayers as snow. This is the great question. Who can stand before it's cold? Who can stand it long enough? Who will keep praying long enough that even though it's cold and it's not happening and it doesn't seem like I'm

[Cherise Franklin]

getting the breakthrough, but I'm not, your prayers that are unanswered are if God's not answering them. Now you are storing up a mountain peak in that area that if you will keep praying, even God's will, that's something to pray constantly. It's something I pray every day of my life. Not my will thine be done. I go through the Lord's Prayer. I go through all kinds of prayers in my prayer place. I love my prayer place place. It's my favorite place on the earth. And I pray there every day. And I know, I know that he hears my prayers. Hallelujah. And he says, who can stand the cold? Who will not give up when things get cold spiritually? Who will not stop prematurely from asking because it didn't come in a day, a week, a month, a year, or 10 years, who can stand the cold if they'll just keep praying, if they'll just keep praising, if they'll just keep worshiping, if they'll just keep standing on the word. Store up for the cold season. When it gets cold, that's the time to store up. The greater the snow, the greater the flow. When the breakthrough comes, it's going to be quick. I used to go.

[Jensen Franklin]

I close with this, but I used to go to. I don't know, many of you probably have never heard of it, but you can do some research. There was a revival that broke out in Pensacola, Florida, and it was. They had three and a half million people in a local church like this go through in three years and get born again. That they documented three and a half million. It's pretty. Pretty incredible. And it was the most amazing thing. And I went during it. And when the evangelist Steve Hill was there and Pastor Kilpatrick, our friend Pastor Kilpatrick, a great man of God. But. And then. And then there came a time when Steve Hill needed to travel and they started asking me to come. The last year or so, Anthony, I think you, you went with me almost every Friday night we would go down to Brownsville and I would preach that revival. And it would be a crowd bigger than this. Every Friday night they would stand hours outside. And for over a year, I preached that revival on a Friday night. And then Pastor Kilpatrick would do it Saturday and Sunday. And I asked him one time, I said we'd had a glorious. I still remember some of those services. It was just unbelievable, believable. I remember walking out and leaving to come home and preach here and. And there would be thousands of people at midnight still in the. Still in the building. And it wasn't about the preacher. It wasn't about. It was about the atmosphere of worship that was so unbelievable. And so I asked Brother Kilpatrick one time, I said, what happened? And I'm going to just sum it up. I jotted down some of the things that. That he told me. But the bottom line was he was in the most discouraging season of his life, Pastor Kilpatrick. And he said that they were squabbling. His exact words, I quote, I wrote it down. I found it in some of my notes. He said the congregation was squabbling. That's an old timer country. Squabbling means fussing. Some of you were doing it with your wife, you know what I mean, when you pulled in the parking lot. Squabbling. Isn't that a word? Squabbling and fussing and fighting in the church. The church that he was pastoring was having fights and people jealous and people mad with one another. And he said, I had. I canceled Sunday night service. And people got furious about that because he wanted to call a prayer meeting. And he called a prayer meeting and he said, now, I want to give you a couple of the details. He said he set up in the sanctuary for flags from the American flag, Israel flag, and some of the nations that were on his heart. But he said to start praying over these flags. And he set them up and he would ask the people. And he said the first one that he had, he only had three people show up besides he and his wife. And they walked from flag to flag and they prayed for the nations. And it was no big deal. And so they were just going through this. And finally the prayer meeting started getting bigger, bigger on Sunday nights. Big crowds of people. By that, I mean maybe two or 300 people, but that's it. That's a good sized prayer meeting. But they got to Father's Day and he said, we just had so much trouble. And he said, I was so discouraged. This is important to hear. I was so discouraged. And he said that went on for a year. That kind of prayer meeting went on for a year. And he's still. The stuff was going on in the church. And he said, I was so discouraged that I called up Steve Hill, the Evangelist and said, I'm so depressed, so discouraged, I'm so weary. Will you just come preach? And he said it was Father's Day. Father's Day.

[Cherise Franklin]

So Steve Hill comes in on Father's

[Jensen Franklin]

Day to preach for a worn out, broke down, tired of it all, weary pastor who had been praying, though at God's instruction for over a year. And he said, and he said when the man finished preaching, he said Steve started acting funny and that this evangelist. And he, whoo, I feel something. He said that he kept saying those words. And Brother Kilpatrick said, I was standing and I want to. I'm glad I wrote it down. He said, I was standing and he said, all of a sudden he said, this is his exact words. And I thought about it when I was getting this little message together. He said, I felt, you know, the book of Ezekiel 47 talks about the river of God and it started flowing and it was ankle deep and then it was knee deep and then it was waist deep. And then it was so powerful that it just swept people away. And he said, I was standing there and people started coming to the altar. And he said, I sat up there and I thought, well, God's in this place. Something's going on here this morning. What's going on? And he said, all of a sudden I felt going over my feet like a river. He said, I felt like a creek,

[Cherise Franklin]

like I had stepped into a creek.

[Jensen Franklin]

And I felt the river of God sweeping over my feet. And he said it buckled my knees and I fell to my knees. And he said when I looked up, it was three hours later and not one person had left.

[Cherise Franklin]

What would we do at Free Chapel

[Jensen Franklin]

if God decided that all the prayers, decades and generations. There's a mountain peak called the mountain peak for the last days.

[Cherise Franklin]

In the last days, saith God, the snow peak, that even the prayers of the saints who have gone before us

[Jensen Franklin]

in heaven have been stored up waiting for this time.

[Cherise Franklin]

Do you believe Jesus is coming again soon? Do you believe the trumpet is going to sound? Do you believe we shall be changed moment in the twinkling of an eye? Do you believe that mysteriously millions. Do you see the headlines? Do you see that they're saying that there are UFOs? Even presidents are saying that this could be true. Do you see how nothing's going to shock society, especially when millions and millions are missing? Oh, I just believe that we need to know that there's a melting going on in the heavenlies. And all those prayers, snowflakes that have been collected in the treasury of snow in the last days, saith God. Watch the wording.

[Jensen Franklin]

I will pour out my spirit on all flesh and your sons and your daughters. And I don't know how and I don't know when, but I do believe that the river's already ankle deep. I believe we're running out of time. I believe the Lord is coming soon. I'm going to be preaching about that more and more.

[Cherise Franklin]

I'm going to do a whole series on Jesus is coming back again.

[Jensen Franklin]

I am. I'm doing it.

[Cherise Franklin]

I told him to get ready for it. Hallelujah. Somebody throw your hands up and shout about it. Just a minute. When we all get to heaven,

[Jensen Franklin]

what a day of rejoicing. But you know what I sense is you don't need to get weary now. You may be like brother Kilpatrick. You feel like I have prayed about it and prayed about it and prayed about my family and prayed about this and prayed about that. Not one of those prayers has been wasted. It's been stacking up, piling up. Keep praying over that son. Keep praying over that family, keep praying over that marriage, keep praying over that. Because the river is coming. An avalanche spiritually is hitting the world, and he's going to pour out his spirit on.

[Cherise Franklin]

And that's why we must be steadfast in prayer. I've done a lot of things wrong, but one thing I have always been

[Jensen Franklin]

consistent in is praying. Reach over and lay your hand on somebody's shoulder. Say in the name of Jesus, I speak life. I speak water. I speak the river. To your dry spell, to the dry places where it seems like you're in a wilderness. The river's going to find you, it's going to find your children, it's going to find your family. In the name of Jesus, I speak life. Because the Bible said in that Ezekiel 47 and everything the river touches.

[Cherise Franklin]

Lives, lives, lives, lives. I speak life.

[Jensen Franklin]

I speak life to your career, to your business.

[Cherise Franklin]

I speak life.

[Jensen Franklin]

To your properties.

[Cherise Franklin]

I speak life. I speak life to your home, homes, to your dreams. I speak life to the marriage that

[Jensen Franklin]

you don't have yet, but you want to be married.

[Cherise Franklin]

I speak life to that. Don't you give up on that. Ask him. Remind God of what he said. His word is like snow, and when you send it out, it won't return.

[Jensen Franklin]

Void.

[Cherise Franklin]

And you know when you 11 that you ought to say a lot if you're single is, you said, put it back on him. You said, it's not good for man

[Jensen Franklin]

or woman to be alone.

[Cherise Franklin]

So Lord, I don't like it. Now, if you like it, don't pray that. Just be happy all by yourself. That's great. And God gives grace for that. But. But if you're not happy about it, keep praying about it. He's going to come down the river on a canoe. Hallelujah. Smiling at you, serenading you like one of those Italian guys. Hallelujah.

[Jensen Franklin]

High tenor.

[Cherise Franklin]

Nowadays we'll take baritones.

[Jensen Franklin]

I don't trust tenors anymore. Amen.

[Cherise Franklin]

Hallelujah. I feel the Lord in this place. I felt him all day long. I feel like I could run through a troop and jump over a wall right now. Does anybody feel victory? Not defeat, not depression, not discouragement. The river is coming. The river is coming. The river stand up on our feet and give God a mighty praise. Give him a mighty praise. That's a snowflake when you praise him. Now look at me. I just feel like putting it out

[Jensen Franklin]

there and saying that somebody's been praying for you. And it's time, it's time to respond.

[Cherise Franklin]

So if you're in this room or you're in any of the rooms there where you're worshiping. And you just need to feel that life giving river that is Jesus. He said the Holy Spirit would be like a well, a spring of living water. The Holy Spirit is ready to touch you today.

[Jensen Franklin]

We piled it up for 21 days in January.

[Cherise Franklin]

It's on this church. And the devil can't do one thing about it. And when the enemy comes in, actually it ought to stop right there like a flood, the spirit of the Lord will raise up a standard against it. So if you're in this room today and you need a miracle, we believe there is a mountain peak of snow and fasting and prayer. If you need deliverance, if you need salvation, just bow your head a minute. Pastor, pray for me. I need to get right with God. You're preaching to me today. If that's you, throw your hand up unashamed.

[Jensen Franklin]

I want to see it all over this room. Amazing, amazing, Amazing.

[Cherise Franklin]

Every one of you that threw your hand up, slip out of your seat and walk down here. This is not something strange and this is not something you need to bypass. This is your morning. The river is flowing in this house for a changed life. Come quickly, Come quickly. Come backslider. Come lost. Come searcher. Come seeker. You've been looking for something that's real, something that's alive. I believe America. I believe the world is ready for the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ like never before. This is Beautiful. Come on, get in. Down here. Get in. Come quick. The king's business takes haste. Pastors are coming at every campus. This amazing. Come on, come on, come on, come on. Clap your hands, church, and give God praise. Heaven is taking a praise break. Angels are taking a praise break. Glory to God. Send them that way. Hallelujah. Come on, come on, come on, come on. They're still coming, and I'm gonna wait on them. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. Come on, come on, come on, come on. This is your morning. This is your day. This is what we prayed for. This is what we fasted for. Come on, come on, come on. Here they come, here they come. Here they come. To God be the glory. Praise the mighty name of Jesus. You can get it right. You can get it under the blood. You can leave here washed and cleansed. Pastors, lead people over this way. Lead people so that we can get them down here. Thank you. Praise the mighty name of Jesus. Praise God. God bless you. Come on.

To God be the glory.

[Jensen Franklin]

Let's raise our hands toward heaven. This is important. This is big. This is a moment that will mark

[Cherise Franklin]

you for the rest of your life.

[Jensen Franklin]

He's heard your cry. He's heard your cry.

[Cherise Franklin]

No man comes to the Father but by the Spirit drawing them. The reason you walk down that aisle is the Holy Spirit started with work before you ever stepped out into the aisle. And he doesn't start things he can't finish.
