Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Context of the Season: Stewarding God's Move

• Transitioning to a New Era:

  • The church has entered a new wave of grace and glory, requiring not just participation but careful stewardship (06:46).
  • "It's one thing to have a move of God. It's another thing to steward a move of God." (06:46 – Pastor Touré Roberts)

• The Gift of Hunger:

  • God is granting the "gift of hunger"—troubles arise not as punishment, but to ignite a yearning for Him (08:29).
  • "You're calling it trouble. God's calling it blessing you with the gift of hunger." (08:29)

• Redefining Blessings:

  • Spiritual blessings may come through adversity, which drives believers to their knees: "If it gets you down on your knees and it makes you hungry for the things of God, baby, that is a blessing." (09:05–10:20)

2. Revival: Restoration, Not Invention

• Historical Waves of Revival:

  • First Great Awakening: Rediscovery of personal relationship and new birth (16:21).
  • Second Great Awakening: Church embraces evangelism and mission (17:30).
  • Welsh Revival: Reignites prayer, holiness, and the manifest presence (19:12).
  • Azusa Street Revival: Power of the Holy Spirit and unity beyond race (20:51).
  • Healing Revival: Power through healing and public demonstration (23:54).
  • Modern Revival: Presence-driven, cross-denominational movements (24:18).
  • "Revival has not been about God introducing something new. It has always been about God restoring something that his church had gradually neglected." (27:07)

• True Legacy of Revival:

  • Each revival recaptures a neglected biblical reality—salvation, mission, prayer, power, presence—pointing back to the early church’s fullness in Acts (28:05–28:31).

3. The Final Wave: The Gospel of the Kingdom

• Prophetic Pivot:

  • Roberts asserts the next (final) wave focuses on the Gospel of the Kingdom—a holistic kingdom revelation, not just personal blessing or church tradition (28:31–30:08).
  • "This final wave is going to be a wave where the sons and daughters of God are going to get a radical revelation of the kingdom of heaven." (30:38)

• Kingdom over Self:

  • Critiques self-centered church culture: "When did church become about me? What you gonna do for me?" (31:57–32:11)
  • Shifting to 'blessed through me' rather than just 'bless me.' (34:15–34:23)

• Scriptural Anchor:

  • Cites Matthew 24:14 – This Gospel of the Kingdom must be preached to all nations before the end will come (29:46–30:08).
  • "If you seek this one thing, you ain't got to worry about no thing." (35:25)

4. Recognition: Rediscovering What Was Always Ours

• Epignosis – True Knowledge is Recognition:

  • The Greek for "knowledge" in 2 Peter 1:2 is better rendered "recognition" (38:34–39:02).
  • "It means to identify someone or something previously known." (39:55)

• Ontological Truth:

  • We are on a journey to “recognize” who we already are in Christ—"Previously known... You are on a discovery mission to recognize. To cognize, to recognize who you are." (40:09)

• Clarity Through Encounter:

  • Like Isaiah, we receive clarity and vision when our 'idols' die and our spiritual eyes are opened (44:43–47:51).

5. Full Integration: Aligning Eyes, Mouth, and Life

• Isaiah’s Conviction: Eyes and Mouth (Isaiah 6)

  • Vision of God leads to conviction about unclean lips—discrepancy between what is seen and what is declared (47:44–48:07).
  • "There's some dissonance between what I see and what I say." (47:51)

• Power of Integration:

  • True spiritual authority requires all aspects—eyes, mouth, heart, actions—to be fully aligned (50:40–55:07).
  • "In order to move in a dimension of my power and my grace... we have to be fully integrated." (50:40)
  • "Your mouth is a divine chamber. It is a prophetic weapon... just like a pistol... you gotta keep it clean." (52:43)

• Regulation and Purity:

  • "When you are fully integrated, you shift atmospheres." (55:27)
  • Regulation of speech, thought, and body is central to stepping into God’s fullness (56:16–56:29).

6. Obstacles to Recognition: Confronting 'Uzziahs'

• 'Uzziah' as an Idol or Blockade:

  • Isaiah’s vision happened only after King Uzziah died—a symbol for anything in life that blocks our view of God (59:41–61:19).

• Five Common 'Uzziahs':

  • Success & Achievement: Where do you root your identity? (62:21)
  • Comfort & Control: Are you addicted to predictability? (62:52)
  • Relationships & Approval: Who's opinion matters more than God's? (63:48)
  • Possessions & Financial Security: Do you instinctively look to your bank account or to the Father? (64:39)
  • Self: Want God as Savior but resist Him as Lord? (65:25–65:39)
  • "What in your life is obstructing your view of God, making God difficult to recognize?" (67:11)

• Heart Check:

  • Roberts urges a time of self-inventory to identify and ‘lay down’ every idol at the altar.

7. Invitation & Application

• Call to Salvation & Surrender:

  • Three-pronged invitation:
    1. Salvation—owning faith for the first time (68:43).
    2. Surrender—laying down personal "Uzziahs"/idols (69:49).
    3. Integration—giving the mouth (and life) to God anew (70:13).

• Tongue as Spiritual Rudder:

  • “Some of you are going to get the victory from your mouth—because you made a covenant with your mouth, fully integrated.” (71:00)

• Aligning All of You:

  • "Present your bodies a living sacrifice... bring all of yourself into alignment." (71:30–71:51)
  • "Our mouth is the biggest one. That's why Jesus says—and it seemed radical—Bless those who curse you." (72:03)

---

Notable Quotes & Timestamps

• On Stewardship:

  • "It's one thing to have a move of God. It's another thing to steward a move of God." (06:46 – Pastor Touré Roberts)

  • "You're calling it trouble. God's calling it blessing you with the gift of hunger." (08:29)

• On Uzziah/Idols:

  • "What in your life is obstructing your view of God, making God difficult to recognize?" (67:11)

---

Memorable Moments & Spiritual Activation

• Impromptu Worship & Prophetic Activation:

  • Listeners are invited (43:18) to worship and declare, "God, open my eyes. Cause me to recognize." A call for "eagle eyes" is given with deep prophetic unction.

  • Threefold invitation to salvation, surrender of idols, and consecration of the mouth—with prayers for healing and breakthrough.

• Call to Full Integration:

  • "Job said, I made a covenant with my eyes... Full integration. Your eyes, your mouth, your heart, your ears, and your body." (71:00)

You're tuned into the Potter's House podcast, where we are encouraged by powerful testimonies and life changing truth. Let's go.

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

In the year

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

that King Uzziah died,

[Pastor Don / Dr. Crumpton / Supporting Speaker]

I saw the Lord sitting on a throne high and lifted up, and the

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

train of his robe filled the temple. Above it stood Seraphim. Each one had six wings, with two he covered his face, with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. And one cried to another and said,

[Pastor Don / Dr. Crumpton / Supporting Speaker]

Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

The whole earth is full of his glory. And the post of the door was

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

shaken

[Pastor Don / Dr. Crumpton / Supporting Speaker]

by the voice of him who cried out.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

The post of the door was shaken, but the voice of him who cried

[Pastor Don / Dr. Crumpton / Supporting Speaker]

out and the house was filled with smoke. Isaiah so I said, woe is me, for I am undone, because I am a man of Unclean lips.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

Not only that, but I dwell in

[Pastor Don / Dr. Crumpton / Supporting Speaker]

the midst of a people of unclean lips.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

For my eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts.

[Pastor Don / Dr. Crumpton / Supporting Speaker]

Then one seraphim flew to me, having

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

in his hand a live coal which he had taken with the tongs from the altar.

[Pastor Don / Dr. Crumpton / Supporting Speaker]

And he touched my mouth with it, said, behold, this has touched your lips.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

Your iniquity is taken away and your sin purged. Also I heard the voice of the

[Pastor Don / Dr. Crumpton / Supporting Speaker]

Lord saying, whom shall I send and

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

who will go for us? Then I said, I, like old King James.

[Pastor Don / Dr. Crumpton / Supporting Speaker]

Then said, I, here am I.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

Send me. Second Peter 1, beginning at verse 2. Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, as his divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness through the

[Pastor Don / Dr. Crumpton / Supporting Speaker]

knowledge of him who called us by glory and virtue, by which having been

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be

[Pastor Don / Dr. Crumpton / Supporting Speaker]

partakers

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

of the divine nature, having escaped

[Pastor Don / Dr. Crumpton / Supporting Speaker]

the corruption that is in the world through lust. I want to speak from this thought today. You better recognize. You better recognize.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

Father, in heaven, we bless you.

[Pastor Don / Dr. Crumpton / Supporting Speaker]

Hallelujah. We honor you. We feel the weight of your glory,

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

the weight of your presence.

[Pastor Don / Dr. Crumpton / Supporting Speaker]

You are here with us and you have purpose to do great things in our midst. The opening of the blind eyes, the deliverance of the captives, the healing of the sick. Hallelujah. And so much more.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

And so have your way.

[Pastor Don / Dr. Crumpton / Supporting Speaker]

Hallelujah.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

God, your servant, thanks you for the

[Pastor Don / Dr. Crumpton / Supporting Speaker]

spirit of wisdom and revelation and insight and knowledge and prophecy, and full access to the secrets of heaven that I

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

might feed your sons and daughters.

[Pastor Don / Dr. Crumpton / Supporting Speaker]

May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight. I thank you for not only us coming in, but how we're gonna leave out.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

In Jesus name, Amen. Amen. Do me a favor. Give God a shout. Greet somebody as you take your seat in God's house. Hallelujah.

[Pastor Don / Dr. Crumpton / Supporting Speaker]

Go to work, baby.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

I want to. I want to. Yes, sir. I want to continue with something that we started. I was going to say Wednesday night,

[Pastor Don / Dr. Crumpton / Supporting Speaker]

but Wednesday night was a continuum of

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

the things that have been happening in our movement, in our midst, really, since we concluded 30 years of ministry.

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

Yeah.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

Because it became emphatically clear that we had stepped into another era, another wave of grace and glory for our church. And it became also clear, and I gathered many of our ministers and prophetic people together. What also became clear is that we would need to steward such a move. It's one thing to have a move of God. It's another thing to steward a move of God. Are you tracking with me? And so when God graces you with the glory, encounter when he graces you with the glory, experience when he graces you with an unusual measure of his spirit, then it is incumbent upon us to not think it common, but to begin to pray and stir things up so that all that God watch this

[Pastor Don / Dr. Crumpton / Supporting Speaker]

sent that glory for can be realized.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

Are you tracking with me? And so that's what we have been endeavoring to do. We're meeting on Sundays very early, praying, seeking the Lord, sensing the Lord, and awesome and mighty things are beginning to take place. On Wednesday night, the Spirit of God moved mightily and there were miracles, signs and wonders and healings and various things. But I believe that. That it was only just the beginning. And let me say this, sometimes it is more than just what God wants to do, because the Bible teaches us that the Spirit is always willing. But the issue is that our flesh is weak. And so what God has done in this season is he has blessed us with the gift of hunger.

[Pastor Don / Dr. Crumpton / Supporting Speaker]

Let me lean into that for a second.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

He's blessed us with the gift of hunger. It isn't that he doesn't want to move oftentimes, it's that we are not hungry enough because we are full of other things. You're gonna get it today. And so you're calling it trouble. God's calling it blessing you with the gift of hunger. You're calling it your brook drying up. God's calling it a blessing with the gift of now seeking God in a moment where you would not have sought him.

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

Oh, oh.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

Can I tell somebody about their season really quickly? You're saying, God, this is tremendous warfare. God is saying, I'm trying to get you back to your knees. You're saying, God, God, the money's not flowing the way it used to flow. Or on my health, I. I don't feel as good as I used to feel. And God is saying, watch this. I am blessing you spiritually. Because we oftentimes don't know how to fully perceive the blessing of the Lord. We think the blessing of the Lord is when the financial breakthrough comes. We think that the blessing of the Lord is when the healing comes, when the promotion comes. And sure, that is the blessing of the Lord. But there's a reason why God says, I have blessed you with every spiritual blessing in heavenly places. In other words, there are other types of blessings that you wouldn't counter blessing. But if it gets you down on your knees and it Makes you hungry for the things of God, baby. That is a blessing. Because your hunger. Watch this. Your hunger needs to match the moment in the spirit that we are in. Say that again.

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

Your hunger needs to match the power

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

of what God wants to do in a moment. So sometimes the issue is not that God lacks power. It's that we lack hunger. Mm. The Bible says in Proverbs, chapter 13 that it is to the glory of

[Pastor Don / Dr. Crumpton / Supporting Speaker]

the Lord to hide a matter.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

You break that Hebrew word down, that word literally means word. So it is to the glory of God to hide a word, to conceal

[Pastor Don / Dr. Crumpton / Supporting Speaker]

a word, but then it's balanced with

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

saying, and it is to the glory

[Pastor Don / Dr. Crumpton / Supporting Speaker]

of kings to search it out.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

So sometimes God, when he wants to give you a word, doesn't just give you a word because you don't value that word enough in the moment in which he wants to give it to you. So what he will do before he gives you the word is he will allow trouble to give you a hunger. Because I need to value the word. I. I need to. I need to esteem it more than my necessary food. I. I need to recognize that I don't live by bread alone, But. But I live by the words that

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

come out of God's mouth.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

I need to be hungry. And if you read in Deuteronomy 8, he says, I led you in the wilderness. Watch this. And made you hunger so that I can feed you, that you will know that you don't live by bread alone, by every word that proceeds out of

[Pastor Don / Dr. Crumpton / Supporting Speaker]

the mouth of God.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

I cannot wait to teach this thing. And so God blesses us with the gift of hunger, and we oftentimes call

[Pastor Don / Dr. Crumpton / Supporting Speaker]

it trouble, but really, it is the

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

quickening and the chastening and the correction that ultimately.

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

Watch.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

This keeps working you until you get into the right posture, because posture matters. Are you tracking with me all my kingdom? People, make some noise. And so, of course, as we consider

[Pastor Don / Dr. Crumpton / Supporting Speaker]

what's happening in our midst, it brings

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

about the term revival, because that's what

[Pastor Don / Dr. Crumpton / Supporting Speaker]

happens when hunger meets God and what

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

God wants to do. Revival takes place. Now, depending on who you ask, revival means different things. When I was growing up, I grew up in the Baptist Church, and we would have revival every year, and there would be a speaker who came in for multiple nights. And we called that a revival. And the value was expectation. We had an expectation that as the man or the man of God was coming through, that something was going to happen, and particularly if it happened night after night. So the value was in expectation with the rhythm. Multiple nights all these services taking place, and that this particular revivalist would bring various aspects of his expression of God to the church and powerful things would take place. And to a certain degree, some degree of revival. We'll touch on that in a minute. Did transpire in those moments. But the revival that I'm talking about is a bit different. This revival is about an awakening. And it's an awakening that radically transforms a people. And as those people are radically transformed, it begins to spread through those people and into the society and the spheres of influence that those people have access to. Are you tracking? I just need about 100 people to get this.

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

So.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

So this revival that I'm talking about is when the church gets awakened. And when the church gets awakened, they can't help but to take this awakening to the streets, to their homes, to their families, to their workplaces. And as a result, society is never the same again. So let's talk about the history of revivals in our land. Now watch this. There is no one but the Lord that can fully capture all of the revivers, all of the revivals that have ever taken place, because they just happen. You don't hear about it, but revivals are happening even right now have happened. But I want to bring you into the history of revivals that are most noted and most known because you're going to see a pattern and it's going to help us to understand where we are today. Are you tracking? Can I teach today? So let's go to. And we'll call these the great waves of modern revival. The first was the first Great Awakening, and this was between 1730 and 1745. It happened in Britain and the American colonies. The leaders were men of God like Jonathan Edwards, George Whitefield, John Wesley. And the condition that this revival started in was the church had become religious and.

[Pastor Don / Dr. Crumpton / Supporting Speaker]

But.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

But spiritually complacent. It would be something like maybe having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof. It was kind of more cultural as opposed to transformational. Are you tracking with me? And so after the revival, people begin to rediscover revival. We're going to come back to that. Re part, rediscover that Christianity is not something that is inherited. In other words, it can't be your grandmama's God. At some point, it has to be your God. And so this was about personal relationship. And the focus on that revival was the new birth. And it became central to evangelical Christianity. Are we tracking? Can I break it down real quick? So that was the first one. The first one was, oh, My God, this is. I really need to have a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. That was the first great awakening. Right. The second great awakening happened in 1790 through 1840.

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

And.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

And the theme of this awakening was the church as a missional institution. Right? And so this was about. And I'll just give you some of the leaders. And this happened in the United States, especially in the expanding frontier, as the United States was expanding. And the key leaders here were Charles Finney and Barton W. Stone. And so America, watch this. America was expanding faster than the church. Are you tracking with me? And so that was the context of the revival started in and then after. There was a focus now on not just personal salvation, but on evangelism, on soul winning, on church planting and on missions, and social reform exploded across the nation. And so ultimately, the. The Spirit and the tone and the legacy of that revival was the church embracing its responsibility to take the gospel beyond its four walls. Now, some of you are looking at these things, and we'll look at a few more. But some of you look at these things like these are like duh to you, but. But it was not duh to them. It was revelation. And there was an awakening to that reality. Are you tracking with me? But let's look at a few more because we're going to teach this thing today. And so. And so the third one was the Welsh Revival. It happened in Wales in 1904 through 1905. And the focus and the theme of this revival was prayer and holiness. And the key leaders was a brother named Evan Roberts. He had a wonderful last name, Evan Roberts.

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

And before.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

Before this move of the Spirit happened, many churches had become. Had fallen into this spiritual routine because of, you know, of outward activity. You know, in other words, it was very works based and. And it become routine. And. And, you know, as long as I'm doing this over here, that's nice. I can be raggedy over here.

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

Mm.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

And so. So. So that's where they were. And then after it, entire communities check it. Entire communities experience a deep conviction. And, you know, the Holy Ghost is the only one that can really give you that deep conviction. And we started seeing repentance, and there was a renewed devotion to God. And if you even go back to the Children of Israel, we see revival. It didn't start here. We see revival all the way back

[Pastor Don / Dr. Crumpton / Supporting Speaker]

with the Children of Israel.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

Okay, are you tracking? And so that essentially was a reignition of a passion for prayer, a passion for holiness, and the manifest presence of God. In other words, I don't want church. I want God. Is there anybody that can testify to that? I don't want church.

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

I want God.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

Right. And so at the end of the day, this was about the manifest presence of God. And it was about preparing the. This prepared the spiritual atmosphere for the Pentecostal movement. And so let's go to the Azusa Street Revival. I'm going somewhere.

[Pastor Don / Dr. Crumpton / Supporting Speaker]

Trust me.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

The Azusa street revival was in 1906. It lasted for three years, 1906 to 1909. And the theme of this revival was the power of the Holy Ghost, the power of the Holy Spirit. And it happened in Los Angeles, California. Hallelujah. Thank you, Jesus. The key leader there was a black man who was blind in one eye named William J. Seymour. Now, what was the condition before? The condition before was many churches believed in the Holy Spirit, but watch this. But they rarely expected the gifts and the power to show up like we saw in the book of Acts. So again, a form of godliness, but a denying of the power thereof. And so afterwards, what happened? It was a worldwide Pentecostal movement that was started right there in Los Angeles. And it was marked by gifts of healing, gifts of deliverance, breakthrough, bold witnesses. We saw unity in the body of Christ. This wasn't a black revival. It wasn't a white revival. It wasn't a Latin revival. It wasn't a Chinese revival. People were coming from all around the world. And it began to look like heaven on earth.

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

And.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

And the spirit of God move. The church of God in Christ was birthed out of that denomination. This was one of the modern beginnings of the Pentecostal movement. And it was absolutely incredible. And here God is reminding. Was reminding his church that we don't just need truth, we need power. Are you tracking with me? And then in 1947 through 1958. Can I walk you through this a little bit? Can we. Can we learn? Can we be educated? 1947 through 1940, 1958 was the healing revival. And the theme of this one was power on display. And this primarily happened in the United States. But the impact and the influence was global. And the key leaders in this movement was a gentleman by the name of Oral Roberts. That's a wonderful last name once again. And a guy by the name of William Branham. And so before, Pentecostal theology had spread, but its public influence was still relatively limited. But within this movement, there were healing crusades that filled tents and arenas. And miracles became a visible part of modern evangelism. And God would have it that through that these. These crusades and these movements, these things that God was doing, began to get spread on television. And that's how it spread. So God began to. So we had miracles happening, but they weren't just happening in the back room of a small church. The cameras started rolling and so the demons kind of like now where the cameras are rolling and the gospel, even though it was primarily happening in the United States, it began to spread all over the world and reshaped everything. Are we tracking

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

and then.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

And the theme there, Let me just say this last part. We'll move to the sixth revival and

[Pastor Don / Dr. Crumpton / Supporting Speaker]

then I'll tell you where I think we are today.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

God was ultimately reminding his church that his power is not meant simply to shout and dance, but his power is

[Pastor Don / Dr. Crumpton / Supporting Speaker]

meant to reach the hurting. And then the modern revival, we'll call

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

it the modern revival movement. And this was marked by, you probably heard of the Toronto Blessings in Toronto and Brownsville, the outpouring in Lakeland and Asbury University. I think there was recently another outbreak on this college campus. And the theme of this was the presence of God. Presence of God. And this started in 1994. We can argue it's still happening. And this was taking place in various nations. So you had leaders like John Kilpatrick, Steve Hill and student led movements and gatherings at Asbury and other places. And before many churches had become effective in ministry, but they were hungry for spiritual revival, renewal. And I believe that God is the one who created that hunger because of

[Pastor Don / Dr. Crumpton / Supporting Speaker]

what he wanted to do. Are you tracking with me?

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

And then after we saw an emphasis, a renewed emphasis placed on worship, repentance, on healing, on prayer and the manifest presence of God. And it emerged across denominational lines. And the permanent legacy of that movement was a generation was reminded that revival can't be manufactured.

[Pastor Don / Dr. Crumpton / Supporting Speaker]

You can't fake.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

Takes humility, surrender and a hunger for God. And ultimately what God was reminding the church during that revival was that his presence changes everything. That's why I don't really rush through stuff, you know what I mean?

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

We.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

I don't rush through stuff here because I know that if the presence gets and sits down on us real good, you won't even need a preacher. Hello, somebody. Because the ultimate preacher, teacher and life changer will have filled the building and it'll be like what took place in chronicles where the ministers couldn't even minister because the chabad of God, the glory of God had filled the house so powerfully and sat on it so powerfully that demons would just begin to leave and go and tremble. That healing would take place, you wouldn't have to say nothing. They would recognize the glory and the power of the King of kings and the Lord of Lords and would begin to. Dad talked about backing up off you will begin to back up off you. That's how powerful our God is. That's how powerful his presence is.

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

You think you need a miracle. All you need is his presence. You think you need a breakthrough. All you need is his glory.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

And so we have seen

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

waves

[Pastor Don / Dr. Crumpton / Supporting Speaker]

of revival throughout history.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

And as I mentioned, things that. That I haven't even talked about. The first great awakening was about salvation. The second was about a restoration of mission. The Welsh Revival restored, restored, restored prayer and holiness.

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

The.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

The Azusa street restored, restored, restored the power of the Holy Spirit. The healing revival demonstrated God's power to the world. And the modern revival movement has renewed our hunger for God's presence. And so here is what's important, and this is where we're going today. Throughout history, revival has not been about God introducing something new. It has always been about God restoring something that is church had gradually neglected. Because isn't it interesting if we go back to the Book of Acts, all these things that they're doing, and it's like an awakening is really nothing new there. Watch this. Picking up parts of who they are

[Pastor Don / Dr. Crumpton / Supporting Speaker]

that got neglected. Are you tracking with me?

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

And so every great awakening has restored a very vital dimension of the Christian life.

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

And.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

And it has been a calling of the church back to the fullness of

[Pastor Don / Dr. Crumpton / Supporting Speaker]

what Christ intended from the beginning.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

And I'm going to tell you where I believe we are. I believe we're in the final wave. And I believe that the final wave revival is the wave of us being restored back to the gospel of the kingdom. I wish I had about 47 weeks with you. Where you get that from, Pastor? What are you talking about? The last. How's that going to be the last

[Pastor Don / Dr. Crumpton / Supporting Speaker]

way we talk about Gospel of the King? What are you talking about, pastor?

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

Matthew, chapter 24 and 14. He's talking about the last days and he's talking about all the things that are going to take place. And if you read all the verses that precede this verse, you will see evidence of things that are taking place right now. Wars and rumors of war, earthquakes in various places, issues with the weather, signs in heaven, signs on our men fighting against men, the love of many, growing cold division. All the sort of things are taking place right. Then he says something peculiar in Matthew 24:14, he says, and this Gospel of the what, huh? Say it again.

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

Of the. This gospel of the.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

Come on, shout it like it's God.

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

This gospel of the.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

Oh, one more time.

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

This gospel of the. Yeah.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

And this gospel,

[Pastor Don / Dr. Crumpton / Supporting Speaker]

the kingdom.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

Of the kingdom of the increase of which there is no end of the kingdom. And we don't hear kingdom preaching very

[Pastor Don / Dr. Crumpton / Supporting Speaker]

much,

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

which is not a bad thing. It means there's an opportunity. And this final wave is going to be a wave where the son and

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

daughters of God are going to get

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

a radical revelation of the kingdom of heaven.

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

They're not going to have a revelation of church. They're not going to have a revelation of God. Bless me.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

They're not going to have a revelation of God.

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

Heal me. They're going to have a revelation of the kingdom. Because when they understand the kingdom, like Jesus said, all other things are going to be added unto you.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

Look at what it says. Oh, we about to have a good time in here.

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

And this gospel, it is a particular gospel. It's not any gospel.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

It's not a gospel of God prospering you.

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

If you get a hold of the kingdom, you're prosperous already.

[Pastor Don / Dr. Crumpton / Supporting Speaker]

Listening, listen.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

Somehow, particularly in our nation,

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

somehow. And we see this not just in

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

the church, but in the world. Maybe it's what dad was talking about, how the world kind of creeps in the spirit of the world creeps into the church. When did church become about me?

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

What you gonna do for me?

Oh, bless me. Somehow we lost sight of what the gospel was about. The Gospel of the Kingdom says things like, blessed through me. The fact that Jesus says, and he

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

makes it a point to say, and this gospel, the kingdom will be preached

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

to all the nations, and then the end will come.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

Watch this. And we know we go from glory to glory. And the path of the just is like a shining sun that is brighter and brighter until the perfect day. That means that we're going to get a much clearer and clearer and clearer recognition of.

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

Of what the Kingdom is. We're not going to be speaking about the kingdom.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

Watch this with unclean lips. Oh, I'm about to tie it together in a minute. There's a way to talk about the Kingdom.

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

And it cannot be mixed with your lust. It cannot be mixed with your want. It cannot be mixed with your doubt. It cannot be mixed with your flesh. It cannot be mixed with your preference. It is a pure and adulterated, unadulterated word of the living God. And it's powerful. So powerful that the Lord says, if you seek this one thing, you ain't

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

got to worry about no thing. Oh, track with me.

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

And this Gospel of the Kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations. In other words, something's gonna happen when the true Gospel of the Kingdom is. Is preached. And not only that, but what's going to happen is going to be so powerful that it will be a witness that cannot deny who God is. We can deny your gospel, we can deny your denomination, but when you preach the Kingdom with signs following, Gonna be a witness that the Lord is real. Cause it's bigger than you. It's bigger than your church, it's bigger than your ministry. It's bigger than your presence. It is a. Turn to your neighbor. Say, you better recognize.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

I can't wait to teach this thing. So, so, so, so, so, so this opens up that Peter passage a bit more. So let's look at it. Have a seat. It says grace and peace. Grace, divine enablement, divine influence upon the heart.

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

And peace.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

We're going to come back to that. It's the Greek word eirene, and it means to join, to be one, to be at peace. It speaks to integrity. Integrity, integration. Everything is one. We're Going to come back to that grace and peace. The apostle Peter is speaking this blessing even unto us today. Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, as his divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life.

[Pastor Don / Dr. Crumpton / Supporting Speaker]

Godliness.

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

Stop.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

This passage parallels masterfully Matthew 6:33, where it says, ultimately, don't worry about what you're gonna eat. Don't worry about what you're gonna drink. In other words, all things that pertain to life and godliness. But seek first the kingdom of God

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

and his righteousness, and all other things will be added.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

These two passages of Scripture complement each other. Now let's look at that word knowledge so that we can understand what it means. If you break that word knowledge down, it is the Greek word epicnosis. And a better translation is not knowledge, it's recognition. So it better reads grace and peace

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

be multiplied to you in the recognition. In other words, I need you to recognize something. And if you recognize something and you recognize it well, all things that pertain to life and godliness will be yours. And you will ultimately become a partaker of the divine nature. And I have exceeding great and precious promises for you. Recognition. Then I looked up.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

Recognize. I was curious about this word, Dr. James. And I said, what is. Where do we get the English word to recognize from? I wanted to look at the etymology of that word. And watch this. It's powerful.

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

It means to identify someone or something previously known.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

Previously known.

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

In other words, it's only new to you. But it's not new about you. Before I formed you in your mother's womb, I knew you. You ain't just getting started. You are walking out what I worked out before I put you in your mother's belly. You are on a discovery mission to recognize. Cognize. To recognize. To recognize who you are. There's more to you than you think. But your Holy Ghost knows what you don't know.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

The great why Solomon said in Ecclesiastes

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

that he puts eternity in your hearts. Everything you will ever be is already on the inside of you in seed form. You just better recognize. Uh huh.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

Recognize. You break that word down to the Latin. It's from the Latin recognocere. It's combining re, which means again, and cognuxere, which means to know. It literally means to know again.

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

To know again. Hallelujah.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

And so Peter is saying that in order for us to realize our fullness, we are going to have to recognize God.

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

Oh God, I feel the Holy Ghost

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

which leads us To Isaiah, chapter six. I feel the Holy Ghost in this place right now. I feel like God is getting ready to make you recognize.

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

I feel like God is getting ready to move the scales off of your eyes. Hey. I feel like God is getting ready to wake somebody from their slumber, and you're gonna start seeing differently and you're gonna start moving differently. I feel like God is getting ready to turn, take you up in the spirit. I hear the Lord saying, come up higher. I gotta show you some things. I gotta show you who you really are because you're living too low. I hear the Lord say, I have seated you in heavenly places, in Christ Jesus, far above principalities and everything that can be named. You're down too low and that's why your vision is blurry. Come up here. If that's your word. Give God a shout of worship, Huh?

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

Let's work this thing real quick. I don't know. I feel like worshiping a little bit. We going to work it in a

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

minute, but we going to worship. Some things are taught, other things are caught. I dare you to say God, open my eyes. Cause me to recognize. Come on. Come on. He's moving the scales off of your eyes. You're getting ready to have a Damascus road experience in this place. The issue is you ain't been seeing right, but you are getting ready. Ready to have clarity like never. Hallelujah. I hear the Lord saying, eagle eyes. Eagle eyes. Eagle eyes. Eagle eyes. Eagle eyes. Eagle eyes. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Holy Ghost, come. Holy Ghost, come. Holy Ghost, come. Hey, Holy Ghost, come. Move the stairs. Remove this. Okay, okay, okay. So check this out.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

So the prophet Isaiah, he's given his testimony. He says, in the year that King

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

Azai died, I saw the Lord high and lifted up and his train filled the temple. I thought the temple was big enough to contain all there was to God. But when my eyes got open, when I got my sight back, I realized just how big my God was. He's bigger than your church. He's bigger than your perspective. He's bigger than your opinion. He's bigger than your will. He's God. The lowermost part of the his garment

[Pastor Don / Dr. Crumpton / Supporting Speaker]

completely filled the temple.

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

The lowermost part of his garment. There's some people in this room, you

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

ain't even seen God yet.

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

You've only seen the temple.

[Pastor Don / Dr. Crumpton / Supporting Speaker]

And so he sees God high and lifted up, and he sees the angelic

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

host,

[Pastor Don / Dr. Crumpton / Supporting Speaker]

and they're crying, holy, holy, holy

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

is the Lord God Almighty.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

It sounds like that song from Revelation.

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

Because it is who was and is and is to come. Hallelujah.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

And then something strange happens. His attention is drawn by what he

[Pastor Don / Dr. Crumpton / Supporting Speaker]

sees to his mouth.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

Track with me, family.

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

His.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

His attention

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

after being

[Pastor Don / Dr. Crumpton / Supporting Speaker]

in the presence

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

of the Lord, after seeing God, Aunt Jackie. Now all of a sudden, he's convicted about his mouth. Let's read it.

[Pastor Don / Dr. Crumpton / Supporting Speaker]

Let's read it. Let's read it because we're going to see something. Go to Isaiah 60:1. Put it up there.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

I catch up somewhere in verse two.

[Pastor Don / Dr. Crumpton / Supporting Speaker]

But just.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

I'll catch up.

[Pastor Don / Dr. Crumpton / Supporting Speaker]

Just put it there.

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

Keep going, keep going, keep going.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

We got to see this. I think it might be verse three.

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

Keep going.

[Pastor Don / Dr. Crumpton / Supporting Speaker]

Push it up there.

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

Push it up there.

[Pastor Don / Dr. Crumpton / Supporting Speaker]

Flow with me.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

Next verse four. Come on, let's go. Let's go, let's go. Yeah, and the post. We're gonna come back to that, I think. And the post was shaking. Let's go to the next one. Come on, come on, let's.

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

Oh, there it is.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

So he sees what he sees. And then he says, woe is me,

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

for I am undone.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

But look at what he says.

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

He says, because I am a man of unclean lips.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

In other words, I ain't talking right. Feel the Holy Ghost. What I see is there's some dissonance between what I see and what I say.

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

He says, I'm a man in Mario Kusha of unclean lips. And not only that, I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips. Watch this, he says, for my eyes has seen the king, the Lord of hosts. So. So. So we see, Dr. James, this connection,

[Pastor Don / Dr. Crumpton / Supporting Speaker]

this and this connection in the anatomy

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

between eyes and tongue.

[Pastor Don / Dr. Crumpton / Supporting Speaker]

We.

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

We see.

[Pastor Don / Dr. Crumpton / Supporting Speaker]

We see.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

He could have said anything.

[Pastor Don / Dr. Crumpton / Supporting Speaker]

He said.

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

He could have said, I drink too

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

much or I do this too much or whatever.

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

But he says, no, no, no, no, no. My problem is my mouth.

[BetterHelp Advertiser / Sydney Sweeney]

A better help ad matching with my

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

therapist was very quick and easy. I just filled out a couple of questions. Before you know it, I was matched with the therapist.

[BetterHelp Advertiser / Sydney Sweeney]

I just fe weight just was lifted off of my shoulders, and I felt like it was a good match from the first time we talked.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

And the Lord, as I inquired, began to talk to me about that what are we saying?

[Pastor Don / Dr. Crumpton / Supporting Speaker]

And God brings this term up and

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

this term and I'll unpack it as much as I can with what I

[Pastor Don / Dr. Crumpton / Supporting Speaker]

have left pertaining to time.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

He showed me that in order to

[Pastor Don / Dr. Crumpton / Supporting Speaker]

move I can't wait to pray for you.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

I can't wait till you stay right there.

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

He said in order to move in a dimension of my power and my grace.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

Watch this you we have to be fully integrated.

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

Oh, I feel the Holy Ghost.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

What do you mean by fully integrated?

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

It means that my mouth is connected to my eyes. Oh, I feel the Holy Ghost. In other words, I cannot see God and speak the same way. Oh, I feel the Holy Ghost. When the Bible says present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable unto God. He wants your eyes, your mind, your mouth, your heart and your body, which is what you do it all in to be free. Fully integrated. Oh, I feel God.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

I got to say this right?

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

Fully integrated. The reason why we don't see oftentimes power demonstrated in our lives is because

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

there's too much dissonance.

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

We, we hear, but what we hear

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

we don't believe in our hearts. Even salvation is based on integration.

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

If thou would confess with thy and believe in thy that shall be saved. So things don't move in the Spirit because we're not fully integrated. And when I see God right, it should change how I use my mouth. Because death and life is in the power of the tongue. And what you don't realize is you're cursing your life by not regulating your mouth. The Lord is dealing with me because sometimes if I get a little, a

[Pastor Don / Dr. Crumpton / Supporting Speaker]

little angry, something might slip out.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

Can we have a real conversation? If I get a little frustrated, I

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

might say oh snap. But I don't say oh snap, can I talk to some real people in God's house? And the Holy Spirit said, son, you don't know what your mouth is for. I know you don't always quiet Now. I know you don't think it's a big deal, but your mouth is a divine chamber. It is a prophetic weapon and just like a pistol and just like a rifle, you gotta keep it clean. You gotta clean it every once in a while so it don't backfire on you. Somebody ought to catch that revelation. He said, Torre Thomas Roberts, he said, I know you don't mean no harm.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

And sometimes in. In some cultures, especially where I grew

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

up in, you would say a cuss word. And it wasn't bad. You weren't. As a matter of fact, some cuss words were a compliment. Man, you are bad. And so I understand various subcultures and I do believe that there's a difference

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

between cursing someone and cussing.

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

But what I'm telling you in this season is you're gonna have to wash your mouth and you're gonna have to preserve your word for kingdom things, kings that matter. That's what I mean when I say it's bigger than your preference. The Bible says in Ephesians 4 and 29, let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, only that which is useful for the edifying of the hearer. And I hear the Lord saying, when you train your mouth, when you get your tongue under control, when you regulate the things that are coming out of your mouth, out of the breath of your mouth, like Bishop said earlier, Imma destroy some things. If you taking that off, just shout hallelujah in here. Train my mouth. God.

[Pastor Don / Dr. Crumpton / Supporting Speaker]

Fully, fully integrated. See if you're not. See, when you're fully integrated, when you speak according to what you have seen and heard,

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

you keep your heart pure.

[Pastor Don / Dr. Crumpton / Supporting Speaker]

And you are committed to taking your

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

body and using your body for the purposes of God.

[Pastor Don / Dr. Crumpton / Supporting Speaker]

In other words, move when he tells you to move.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

That causes you, Marie Carisse,

[Pastor Don / Dr. Crumpton / Supporting Speaker]

to be fully integrated. We almost there. Fully integrated. And when you're fully integrated, you shift atmospheres. You shift atmospheres when you believe the one who speaks. When you believe the one who speaks and watch this. And anything other than what he spoke, you're dead too.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

In this season. You can't listen to everybody in this season. I promise you.

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

Do you have the word of the

[Pastor Don / Dr. Crumpton / Supporting Speaker]

Lord in your mouth?

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

For my season. Season.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

And I will know it because you're confirming what God told me in private.

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

See, full.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

Full integration necessitates regulation. I don't just listen to anything. And I don't just listen to anyone.

[Pastor Don / Dr. Crumpton / Supporting Speaker]

How much time are you spending in the uninterrupted presence of God when you say P.T.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

i have time.

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

You.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

You better find the time. Because we're moving in a way that we have never seen before. And you need time in his presence to work out all your flesh stuff

[Pastor Don / Dr. Crumpton / Supporting Speaker]

and get into heaven stuff. And when you are fully integrated, you will shift atmospheres. I was thinking about Paul and Silas, and there's a parallel between what happened in the jail with Paul and Silas

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

and what happened in the presence of

[Pastor Don / Dr. Crumpton / Supporting Speaker]

God that Isaiah saw. In the presence of God. The Bible says that. That in that the doors, the post of the doors of the temples were

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

shaken as a result of the worship that was taking place in heaven.

[Pastor Don / Dr. Crumpton / Supporting Speaker]

Go back and study it when you get a chance, because I'm landing now. And then Paul and Silas, when they

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

were in the prison, had to be fully integrated. Because if they were not fully integrated, their circumstances would have affected who they were.

[Pastor Don / Dr. Crumpton / Supporting Speaker]

But the Bible says, put it up there. But the Bible says In Acts, chapter 16, the Bible says, flow with me. Hallelujah. Thank you.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

But at midnight, Paul and Silas were

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

praying and singing hymns to God. They were creating their own. Because they were fully integrated. I might be in chains, but I'm not in chains. I might be bound, but I ain't bound. You might think you have me, but who the son sets free is free indeed. I may not have the money, but I'm rich in Jesus. Fully integrated. But at midnight, Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God. And.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

And the prisoners were listening. The atmosphere is shifting.

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

And the Bible says suddenly there was a great earthquake so that the foundations of the prison were shaken. Can't you see? Heaven starts touching earth. And the Bible says, and immediately all

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

the doors were open and everyone's chains were loose.

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

Why? Their full integration released heaven's reality into their earthly soul.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

Circumstances. Turn to your neighbor and say full integration. Turn to your other neighbor, Say it's time to recognize. Now, there is one last detail in this text that I must share with you. And it is very, very important part of this whole conversation.

[Pastor Don / Dr. Crumpton / Supporting Speaker]

And this is around Uzziah.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

Isaiah doesn't just randomly see the Lord. He sees the Lord in a particular moment.

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

And if you don't understand Uzziah's history, you may not be able to make

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

the connection

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

because the Bible says in

[Pastor Don / Dr. Crumpton / Supporting Speaker]

the year that King Uzzah died is

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

when I saw the Lord. Let me tell you about Uzzah really quickly.

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

He became the king of Judah at 16. He is one of the oldest.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

He had one of the longest reigns

[Pastor Don / Dr. Crumpton / Supporting Speaker]

of all the kings of Judah. 52 years on the throne.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

His reign was marked by remarkable prosperity, military strength and might.

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

Innovation.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

Just turn to your neighbor. Say he was a bad boy.

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

Innovation and national security. He fortified Jerusalem. He expanded Judah's borders, he developed agriculture,

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

and he had built a powerful army.

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

As a result of that, Judah experienced stability unlike it had known in generations.

[Pastor Don / Dr. Crumpton / Supporting Speaker]

Are you tracking?

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

He had been a strong and stable

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

king whose reign defined an entire generation.

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

Which means that his death likely created national uncertainty.

[Pastor Don / Dr. Crumpton / Supporting Speaker]

You tracking with me?

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

And in this undeniable moment of instability is when Isaiah receives a vision of the true king.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

Oh, you better catch it today.

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

Sometimes God gives his clearest vision, the clearest vision of himself, when the earthly

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

structures

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

that we have the tendency to depend on are shaken. Oh, you better catch it in the

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

Holy Ghost right now.

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

What, Uzziah, might you have in your

[Pastor Don / Dr. Crumpton / Supporting Speaker]

life right now that's keeping you from. From recognizing God?

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

I'm gonna give you five common ones and we're done.

[Pastor Don / Dr. Crumpton / Supporting Speaker]

Uzziah number one, Success and achievement. The mentality is, I'll be okay when I accomplish enough, Right? But if your success or your achievement disappear tomorrow, would you still know who you are?

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

Or better, whose you are?

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

You ain't gotta answer me now.

[Pastor Don / Dr. Crumpton / Supporting Speaker]

Isaiah number two, Comfort and control.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

Here's what you say, I just need

[Pastor Don / Dr. Crumpton / Supporting Speaker]

everything to go according to my plan.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

Come on, somebody.

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

So.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

So you're not worshiping money or fame. What you are worshiping is predictability. As long as I can predict it, I'm okay.

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

I. I've got to know what's next.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

And uncertainty feels completely untolerable. And here's your question.

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

What are you trying so hard to

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

control that you've stopped trusting God with it? That's a side number two.

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

Azah number three, Relationships and approval. Here's what you say, not out loud,

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

but in your heart.

[Pastor Don / Dr. Crumpton / Supporting Speaker]

I need them to affirm me. I need them to affirm me.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

A spouse, a parent, a child, sometimes a mentor. Your social media following your social circle.

[Pastor Don / Dr. Crumpton / Supporting Speaker]

Right?

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

Some of those things can become a source of your identity. And watch this.

[Pastor Don / Dr. Crumpton / Supporting Speaker]

And their approval matters more than God's voice.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

Here's your question. Whose opinion has more influence over your decision than God's?

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

That's our number four.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

Your possessions and financial security.

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

Here's what you say, if I have enough, I'll finally feel safe.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

And here's your question.

[Pastor Don / Dr. Crumpton / Supporting Speaker]

Where do you instinctively look first when

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

you need some peace?

[Pastor Don / Dr. Crumpton / Supporting Speaker]

Your bank account or your father. And Uzzah number five, and this is a big one. Self, here's what you say, I know what God says, but I know what's best.

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

And it's subtle. It might even be the most subtle idol ever.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

Because sometimes we want God as savior, but we resist him as Lord.

[Pastor Don / Dr. Crumpton / Supporting Speaker]

That's why he is our Savior.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

Our Lord and Savior. Watch this in that order.

[Pastor Don / Dr. Crumpton / Supporting Speaker]

My Lord and Savior.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

And so, so, so this one produces us trusting our own instincts and our own preferences and our own desires above God's wisdom.

[Pastor Don / Dr. Crumpton / Supporting Speaker]

That's as like Uzai number five. And here is your question. If that's your Uzziah and it could

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

be a number of, of things that

[Pastor Don / Dr. Crumpton / Supporting Speaker]

become idols in our lives, what part of your life have you said to God, God, I'll handle this one. Why do I take my time to break this down? I do not think. Stand with me too. Don't leave. You don't want to miss this part. I do not think that it is random that King Uzziah dying is in that text. The text is all about Isaiah. But it starts by saying that something had to move. Something was blocking, something was hindering, was

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

obstructing the view of God.

[Pastor Don / Dr. Crumpton / Supporting Speaker]

What in your life is obstructing your view of God, making God difficult to recognize? That's a real question. What makes you say yeah, God, but. Or what makes you go to God? Second, third, I am convinced that we cannot get to the place of recognition which the Bible says is where all things that pertain to life and godliness exist. We cannot get to this full integration that will allow us to move differently, to literally be unbothered by circumstance. Because you see God, right? I want you to think about it because we're going to lay it at the altar. If you're here, it's going to be a multi party invitation. First and foremost, if you're here and you have never opened up your heart to the Lord, maybe, maybe for the very first time God makes sense, makes sense enough for you to not make them your grandmama's God, your mama's God, but your God. If you hear and the Spirit is drawing you to say yes to the Lord, I want you to come and meet me here at this alt. Just come on. You can come while I'm talking. The second point of this invitation and you, you, you come closer. You come right here, please. The second point of this invitation is if there is a conviction that's fallen upon you and you know what your AI is and today you say, I'm gonna lay it down at the altar. I'm not going to let Uzziah live because Uzziah is blocking me from seeing God and it's affecting my life. If that's you, I want you to come and bring your Uzzah with you and we're gonna Lay that idol right down here, and God's going to remove

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

the scales from your eyes and you're going to walk in something different.

[Pastor Don / Dr. Crumpton / Supporting Speaker]

Third point is, if you need to give your mouth to God. And you say, yeah, yeah, yeah, it really is. I didn't look. I ain't no better than nobody. It really matters to God. I get it. My justification would be, well, if it

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

ain't cursing nobody, I ain't wishing that

[Pastor Don / Dr. Crumpton / Supporting Speaker]

no hex on nobody, then it's okay. No, that's not true. Your mouth is holy. Think about it. It's supposed to carry the word. That's why Jesus would say, why you got blessings and cursing coming out of the. And when you train your mouth. When you train your mouth, stuff's gonna happen for you. Sometimes we literally, we curse our blessing because we don't control our tongue. The Bible talks about how a tongue is like the rudder of a ship. And we look at that, and we always look at it in the negative. But that means that your tongue, even though it's small, can move big things.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

Some of you are going to win.

[Pastor Don / Dr. Crumpton / Supporting Speaker]

You're going to get the victory from your mouth. From your mouth. Because you. You made a covenant with your mouth fully integrated. Job said, I made a covenant with my eyes that I would not look on a maiden. Full integration. Your eyes, your mouth, your heart, your ears, and your body. Present your body a living sacrifice.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

And when you present your body a

[Pastor Don / Dr. Crumpton / Supporting Speaker]

living sacrifice, Paul says, I beseech you,

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

by the mercy of God, you present your bodies living, sacred, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

[Pastor Don / Dr. Crumpton / Supporting Speaker]

And you may not conform to this

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

word, but be transformed by the renewing

[Pastor Don / Dr. Crumpton / Supporting Speaker]

of your mind that you might prove what is that?

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

Good and perfect will of God.

[Pastor Don / Dr. Crumpton / Supporting Speaker]

In other words, that alignment brings you into that good and perfect will of

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

God what he saw before he put you in your mother's womb.

[Pastor Don / Dr. Crumpton / Supporting Speaker]

So you have to bring all of yourself into alignment. And our mouth is the biggest one. That's why Jesus says, and it seemed radical. Bless those who curse you.

[Holy Spirit Voice / Worship Leader / Interjecting Speaker]

What?

[Pastor Don / Dr. Crumpton / Supporting Speaker]

Yeah. Because the power is in your mouth. Be quick to hear, slow to speak. Why? Because I got to regulate my words. Third point is invitation. If you need a healing in your body, I want you to make your way to this altar as well. And those who need a healing in their body, bring them to the front. To the front. Hallelujah. Yep. Just come to the front. Fully integrated. Fully integrated. Fully integrated. And I thank God all my. All my ministers and elders are moving in. Fully integrated. Thank you, Jesus. I want you to repeat after me. And then we're gonna pray. Heavenly Father, I thank you for your love. I feel it. I thank you for your word. I receive it. I thank you for Jesus. Thank you for making him who had no sin all of mine, all of my weakness, all of my limitations, all of my shortcomings, you put in his body, nailed it to the cross and put it to death. And just as you raised him up on the third day, free and victorious, because I'm in him, I'm raised up, too. Holy Spirit, fill me to the overflow. I yield to you. I yield my heart, my mind, my soul, and my body. I'm yours completely. Lord God, I lay down my Azaya. I lay down my idol.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

Reveal to me

[Pastor Don / Dr. Crumpton / Supporting Speaker]

where. I have other gods before you. I'm gonna be like David. I'm gonna set you before me. Because if you are at my right hand, I shall not be moved.

[Pastor / Main Speaker]

Now, I want to do something really

[Pastor Don / Dr. Crumpton / Supporting Speaker]

You can stay if you want to. God's going to move, but we're going to pray for the sick today. Here is a soft benediction again for

[Pastor Don / Dr. Crumpton / Supporting Speaker]
