1 00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:02,920 Hallelujah. Come on. 2 00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:05,600 Can we lift our hands all over this house tonight? 3 00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:09,880 Can we lift our voices and just begin to talk to him in this 4 00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:12,200 place? And surely the. 5 00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:17,400 Presence of the Lord is in this house, and surely He's worthy of 6 00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:21,440 all honor, all praise and all. Glory. 7 00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:24,160 He's deserving. Of it tonight, he's deserving of 8 00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:27,680 it every. Day from the rising of the sun 9 00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:31,080 to the going down the same. His name is worthy. 10 00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:39,800 His name is worthy. Hallelujah, Hallelujah. 11 00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:44,320 It feels good to be in the House of the Lord on a Monday night. 12 00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:49,640 And the writer said, I was glad when they said unto me, let us 13 00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:55,000 go into the House of the Lord. And I don't care if it's Monday, 14 00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:59,280 Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and even Saturday. 15 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:03,600 I'm just glad to be in the House of the Lord and to feel his 16 00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:09,000 presence, to be with his people. And it's an honor, It's a 17 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,440 privilege to be here. If you've got your Bibles, I'd 18 00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:15,160 like to take our attention. To the Book of. 19 00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:20,560 Ezra chapter #2 It is such an honor and a privilege to be here 20 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:25,880 this week and certainly feel the presence of God in this house. 21 00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:28,800 And I believe there's a. Refreshing in the Holy. 22 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:32,920 Ghost for us here tonight if we want it and there's strength in 23 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,200 this house. If we want it, it's here. 24 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:40,000 And and we give honor today to your leadership, Pastor and 25 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,480 Sister McGee. We love them and appreciate 26 00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:47,640 them, appreciate their family, this church, such tremendous 27 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:52,040 host, always so kind. And appreciate your hospitality 28 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:55,840 to my wife and I. And we certainly say thank you. 29 00:01:55,840 --> 00:02:00,600 Thank you very, very much. And this is revival. 30 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:04,840 This is revival. It's a wonderful night for 31 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:09,759 somebody to be strengthened and somebody to be helped tonight. 32 00:02:09,759 --> 00:02:14,400 And Ezra chapter #2 I'm going to read one verse to us, and I'll 33 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:18,560 let us be seated. Verse #18 when you're there 34 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:19,560 shot. Amen. 35 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:29,480 The Bible says the. Children of Jorah 112, somebody 36 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:33,760 say God bless him. I don't want to be him. 37 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:43,520 The children of Jorah 112 I want to preach to us for just a few 38 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:45,840 moments tonight with the help of the Lord. 39 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,360 Ain't got a clue where we're going to get to, but I believe 40 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,520 the Lord's going to have his way in this house. 41 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:55,360 And but I want to talk to us from this subject. 42 00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:00,640 Dance in the rain, dance in the rain. 43 00:03:00,640 --> 00:03:03,920 I believe there's revival rains that are in this house and 44 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,960 there's a refreshing rain that is in this house tonight and. 45 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:09,920 Would you? Lift your hands. 46 00:03:09,920 --> 00:03:12,120 Would you lift your hearts? Towards Heaven Tonight 1. 47 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:13,760 More time, would you? Talk to him. 48 00:03:14,920 --> 00:03:16,640 God we love. You cheese. 49 00:03:36,570 --> 00:03:37,730 Hallelujah, Hallelujah. Come on. 50 00:03:37,730 --> 00:03:39,170 I think some of you ought to just go ahead and. 51 00:03:39,170 --> 00:03:43,250 Press for just a moment to go. Ahead and lay aside every 52 00:03:43,250 --> 00:03:47,560 weight, everything that's tried to beset you, everything that's 53 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,800 tried to bombard your mind. Go ahead and just cast it off. 54 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:54,480 Cast it aside and say, God, I'm going to be receptive to what 55 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:58,000 you have for me tonight, God. God, I'm not going to push away 56 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,800 the refreshing that you have for my mind and my body and my 57 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,400 spirit tonight, God. God, I believe there's a 58 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,560 refreshing rain for First Apostolic Church. 59 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:11,160 Oh God, would you have your way in this house tonight? 60 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:15,960 Lord God, would you accomplish what only you can accomplish 61 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:20,079 tonight In the name of Jesus, in the name of. 62 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:24,200 Jesus. In the name of Jesus, somebody 63 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:28,240 shout in. Jesus name in Jesus name. 64 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,560 Before you're seated, would you clap your hands? 65 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:36,000 Unto the. Lord, in the Jesus name, in 66 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:41,080 Jesus name, in Jesus name, you can be seated tonight. 67 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,320 God bless you. I know this has. 68 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:46,000 Already been echoed, but I want to echo it as well. 69 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:50,160 Thank you so much for being in the House of the Lord tonight on 70 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:53,720 a Monday night. And I am certainly very much 71 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:58,000 appreciative, just as your pastor and his wife and family 72 00:04:58,000 --> 00:04:59,880 are, that you are here because the. 73 00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:03,800 Truth is, if you weren't here. I wouldn't have nobody to preach 74 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:07,280 to tonight. And so I'm very grateful that 75 00:05:07,280 --> 00:05:10,680 you are here tonight and I, I certainly hope you'll be here 76 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:12,600 tomorrow night and Wednesday night. 77 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:16,440 And because I believe the Lords got greater things in store for 78 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:18,440 us this week. Somebody say ma'am. 79 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:24,440 For most casual readers, you just might miss it if you're 80 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:29,840 simply skimming through the scriptures because the truth. 81 00:05:29,840 --> 00:05:31,920 Is tonight it's. Just a name. 82 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,880 That rhymes with. Dora that is found amongst a 83 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:41,440 list of other names. There's no mention of miracles. 84 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:45,920 There's no armies conquered, you won't find where there is any 85 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:51,640 sea splits, you cannot find where he escaped the lion's den 86 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:55,120 unharmed, and you certainly won't read the scriptures of 87 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:59,200 where he came out of the fiery furnace unharmed without the 88 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:03,000 smell of smoke. Because it's simply a name. 89 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:08,000 And I don't know about you, but I'm sometimes guilty of skimming 90 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:09,720 the scriptures when there's just a. 91 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:14,280 Bunch of names. But this is a hidden name that's 92 00:06:14,280 --> 00:06:18,440 found amongst many other names. It's it's just a name, a name 93 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:21,320 Jorah. And while to many it's just a 94 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:26,120 name, a hidden name, you and I know that God never includes 95 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:30,440 something for nothing. Throughout the word of God, 96 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:36,040 there are no moments where he just wasted words or wasted ink 97 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:39,720 in the word of God. The Bible is not full of 98 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:43,840 prophecy to simply fill the pages for us. 99 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:48,200 The Bible is not full of instruction and inspiration so 100 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,720 that we have something cool to talk about. 101 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:55,920 The truth is God never includes something for nothing. 102 00:06:56,360 --> 00:07:00,840 The Bible teaches us that prophecy came not in old time by 103 00:07:00,840 --> 00:07:05,520 the will of man, by holy men of God spake as they were moved by 104 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:08,560 the Holy Ghost. The writer would declare to us 105 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:13,080 all scripture is profitable, is given by the inspiration of God, 106 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:17,680 is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for 107 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:22,120 instruction and righteousness. All scripture is profitable 108 00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:26,400 because God never includes something for nothing. 109 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:30,640 After all, the writer tells us that we know that all things 110 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:35,440 work together for the good to them that love God to them who 111 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:39,480 are the called according to His purpose, because God does not 112 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:43,760 include something for nothing. Can I tell us tonight there's 113 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:47,600 not one of us sitting here that was sitting here for nothing. 114 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:51,280 There's not one of us sitting here tonight just to feel a 115 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:54,280 seed. But there is a purpose behind 116 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,280 the reason that you and I are in the Pew. 117 00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:02,120 There's purpose behind the fact that we're in revival on a 118 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:05,480 Monday night. I believe we can receive victory 119 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:09,840 because we're in revival. We can receive joy unspeakable 120 00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:12,400 and full of. Glory, because here. 121 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:19,560 There's purpose behind us being here in this. 122 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:24,520 Moment in this moment. There's purpose behind this 123 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:29,200 hidden name that we find on the pages of our text in Ezra 124 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:34,440 chapter #2 you will find you will find in Hebrew that jorah 125 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:37,679 means the first rain or the autumn rain. 126 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:42,400 It's the early rain that softens the ground after a long dry 127 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:45,080 season. Stay with me for just a few 128 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:49,160 moments In the Bible days. Israel knew what drought would 129 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:52,640 feel like, both naturally and spiritually. 130 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:56,880 The Bible will frequently tell us of days of their days of 131 00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:00,200 drought as a consequence of their actions. 132 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:03,680 The days of drought, there was no doubt, had an effect on their 133 00:09:03,680 --> 00:09:06,920 lives, on their food, on their water sources. 134 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:10,160 It affected their chances of survival. 135 00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,560 But while Israel knew what drought felt like, both 136 00:09:13,560 --> 00:09:17,800 naturally and spiritually, there would come a time through the 137 00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:21,400 prophet Joel that God would promise that He will cause to 138 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:25,480 come down for you. The rain or the former rain and 139 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:28,320 the latter rain. Understand with me tonight, 140 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:31,000 Church. The former rain refers to the 141 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,360 autumn rain or the Jorah rain. In Israel. 142 00:09:34,680 --> 00:09:38,720 This was the rain that was essential for softening the 143 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:41,080 ground. It was the first rain through 144 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:45,320 the prophet goddess. I'm going to pour out what is 145 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:48,960 needed. My measured provision will not 146 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:52,400 be missing in the season of Chora. 147 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:54,680 I believe. I believe Chora. 148 00:09:54,680 --> 00:09:57,200 By name was a. Prophetic reminder. 149 00:09:57,560 --> 00:10:02,080 That God has a way of sending you what you need, when you need 150 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:04,320 it. And can I remind the church? 151 00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:06,960 On a Monday. Night that, that is just what. 152 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:11,440 God is still doing. For First Apostolic Church, He 153 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:15,680 is sending you what you need, when you need it. 154 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,720 I believe God's trying to tell somebody tonight. 155 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:22,080 I'll send you the right. Person at the right. 156 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,880 Time. I'll put you in the right place 157 00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:29,160 at the right time. After all, I am still Jehovah 158 00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:31,560 Jireh. I am still the Lord that 159 00:10:31,560 --> 00:10:34,440 provides. I am still God. 160 00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:48,160 I am still God, and my God shall supply every need according to 161 00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:52,320 His riches and glory in Christ Jesus. 162 00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:57,360 The rain may start small, but it's starting. 163 00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:01,840 The. Healing may start small, but I 164 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:03,800 believe there's evidence that it's starting. 165 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:07,640 And I believe tonight we ought to rejoice in the Lord our God 166 00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:11,160 because our blessing is not just in the rain. 167 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:16,320 We rejoice because we know we serve a God that is faithful day 168 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:20,360 after day, week after week, month after month. 169 00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:22,760 It. May have been dry for a little 170 00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:25,240 while, but there's a rain that's falling. 171 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:29,400 Upon first Apostolic Church. That is worth rejoicing. 172 00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:32,080 About. It's a rain that's softening the 173 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,520 ground. I believe God is sending this 174 00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:38,080 church what you need when you need it. 175 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:40,760 There's hope in this. House there's. 176 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:45,800 Healing in this house The power of the Holy Ghost is in this 177 00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:52,280 house I. Wish you lift your hands with 178 00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:56,640 them for just a moment. What we need is in this place. 179 00:11:57,680 --> 00:12:02,080 What we need is in this house. Tonight I don't need to feel 180 00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:04,520 good. Tonight, I just need a touch of 181 00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:07,600 the master. Tonight I just need his shrink. 182 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:11,080 I just need his presence. I just need his. 183 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:15,640 Power what you and I have. Need of tonight is in this. 184 00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:18,440 House tonight, it's not up the street. 185 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,800 It's not around the corner, it's right here. 186 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:26,800 At First Apostolic Church. Is where your hope is found. 187 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:31,880 Oh if you believe that, would you clap your hands unto the 188 00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:35,760 Lord? Come on, I wish you a clap a 189 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:40,280 little bit louder like you believe that God is sending you 190 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:51,840 what you need when you need it. In Ezra chapter #2 the Bible 191 00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:58,440 tells us the children of Jorah 112. 192 00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:01,560 I'll say it again, I don't want to. 193 00:13:01,560 --> 00:13:07,080 Be him. But you got to understand, I 194 00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:10,520 don't have time to read all of this tonight, But you got to 195 00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:14,360 understand if you was to read the Ezra chapter #2 you would 196 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:19,600 find a genealogical listing, A roll call of those who returned 197 00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:23,920 from Babylon to Jerusalem. I was those that returned to 198 00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:27,440 rebuild the temple to re establish life life. 199 00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:31,640 You can read it for yourself and you can find individuals that 200 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:35,280 were leaders and you can find individuals that were priests 201 00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:39,120 and Levites and servants. You can find a lot of great 202 00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:46,520 people listed in Ezra chapter 2. But also, you can find everyday 203 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:49,080 families like the children of Jorah. 204 00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:54,040 You can find everyday people like you and I that show up to 205 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:57,120 church on a Monday night of revival. 206 00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:01,560 You can find everyday people like us who are standing in the 207 00:14:01,560 --> 00:14:06,400 shadows, just us and our family or you and your family. 208 00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:10,680 Can I tell you, while it's true we can't read a lot about Jorah 209 00:14:10,680 --> 00:14:14,160 and his family, we don't know a lot about their history. 210 00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:16,280 We don't know a lot about their children. 211 00:14:16,560 --> 00:14:20,680 We just know because they're listed there that they showed up 212 00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:24,440 and they came back and I've come to preach to some people on a 213 00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:28,040 Monday night that feel like I'm just in the shadows. 214 00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:31,760 I'm just here. I'm just here on a Monday night. 215 00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:36,040 I feel overlooked. I feel like I'm nobody cares 216 00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:38,720 about me. I'm hearing the lies of the 217 00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:43,400 adversary that says I'm insignificant, that my family 218 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:47,560 doesn't matter, that I'm just a janitor, that I'm just a. 219 00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:50,080 Part of the praise. Team, I've come to tell them the 220 00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:54,200 church tonight, the role that you play in the Kingdom of God, 221 00:14:54,640 --> 00:15:00,280 it matters because the truth is you don't have to be loud to be 222 00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:04,680 faithful and you don't have to be famous to be fruitful. 223 00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:09,760 But when you made-up your mind I'm coming to revival, it made a 224 00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:12,160 difference. It made a difference in the 225 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:15,480 house when you chose to come to church. 226 00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:27,600 You don't understand. All I do around here is adjust 227 00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:33,440 the sound. Am I all right? 228 00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:37,480 Am I all right? I'm going to shut my eyes so I 229 00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:43,880 can't hear you. I don't remember what I'm 230 00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:50,560 supposed to say. Clock it you'll. 231 00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:58,800 Clock that 750. Clock that you don't understand. 232 00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:06,720 I'm just here because Pastor said I had to be here anyway. 233 00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:10,800 I'm here. You don't understand the role 234 00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:13,440 that I play. I'm just the first one in the 235 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:17,040 prayer room praying that the Holy Ghost will move. 236 00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:19,600 You don't understand the role that I play. 237 00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:23,800 I just play my instrument and I just pray for pastor and his 238 00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:25,880 family. You don't understand. 239 00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:29,600 What I do is no, no, it's not insignificant. 240 00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:33,320 The role that you're playing in this church is key to the 241 00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:36,560 revival that is taking place in the church. 242 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:41,160 I'm going to come over here and preach a little while. 243 00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:44,320 Can I tell you the role that you play in this church? 244 00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:46,600 It matters. It's making a difference to 245 00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:50,280 what's happening in this city. It's making a difference to 246 00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:52,160 what's happening. What we felt. 247 00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:54,440 Sunday morning what we? Felt Sunday. 248 00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:57,080 Night. What we feel right now is 249 00:16:57,080 --> 00:17:00,440 because somebody made-up in their mind, I'm going to show 250 00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:02,600 up, I'm going to roll up my sleeves. 251 00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:06,599 I'm going to be a part of Revival in Mount Carmel, IL 252 00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:16,859 because somebody showed up. It's not insignificant. 253 00:17:19,140 --> 00:17:23,859 It does matter. Tired, it matters. 254 00:17:24,940 --> 00:17:29,640 Don't feel good. It matters I ain't got all my 255 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,400 ducks in a row. It matters I ain't got 256 00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:34,160 everything together. It matters. 257 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:37,240 It matters that you walk through those doors on a. 258 00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:39,840 Monday night 'cause I. Believe something's going to get 259 00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:42,640 down inside of your spirit that. Says this ain't just. 260 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:46,080 Another Monday night service. There's revival happening in 261 00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:49,880 here, there's a rain that's falling, there's a glory that's 262 00:17:49,880 --> 00:18:02,640 being released in this house. The devil is a liar, I said. 263 00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:06,720 The devil is a liar. The fact that you made-up in 264 00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:10,800 your mind, I'm showing up. It made a difference when you 265 00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:14,080 made the declaration. As for me in my house, we're 266 00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:16,920 going to serve the Lord. It made a difference. 267 00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:19,880 It made a difference when you're made-up in your mind. 268 00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:23,960 I'm going to pursue the promise that God has for me and. 269 00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:29,160 My family, I may not get the recognition I want, but thank 270 00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:34,000 God I get the revival that the church deserves, that the church 271 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:42,480 needs, that the church desires. I heard it said once that 272 00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:46,400 sometimes the greatest legacy isn't the one written, it's the 273 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:50,960 one walked out in the rain when Jorah made his way back, his way 274 00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:55,600 back to rebuild, when he left in pursuit of his promise, in 275 00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:59,320 pursuit of everything that was designed to be rebuilt. 276 00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:03,240 I just believe Church, something got inside of his spirit that 277 00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:06,440 said I'm going to dance in the rain. 278 00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:10,560 I'm not going to wait for the rain to stop so I can stare at 279 00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:14,320 everything pretty that's been produced because of the rain. 280 00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:16,440 I'm going to. Learn how to dance. 281 00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:19,880 In the rain with. Every step back. 282 00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:22,640 I believe something got. Inside of His Spirit. 283 00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:25,960 That said, I'm not just going to enjoy the sights and the sounds. 284 00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:30,280 I'm going to rejoice over what God is doing as the promised 285 00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:33,920 provision is being poured out. I believe we're. 286 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:37,000 Living in our church where we don't have to wait for the 287 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:41,640 fulfillment of everything before we rejoice about what God is 288 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:52,920 doing in this hour. Dancing is biblical. 289 00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:58,280 I hope you brought your dancing shoes. 290 00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:02,440 Because it's biblical. You don't believe me? 291 00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:08,160 You can find in Exodus 15 that dancing is a natural response to 292 00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:12,240 God's goodness and mercy. The women danced to celebrate 293 00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:15,560 the Israelites deliverance from Egypt. 294 00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:20,160 You can find in Luke 15 there was dancing as the prodigal son 295 00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:24,160 made his way back home. You can find in First Samuel 18 296 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:28,120 as the victorious troops were returning home after killing the 297 00:20:28,120 --> 00:20:30,680 Philistines. There was dancing and there was 298 00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:33,680 singing. I still believe it's Apostolic 299 00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:37,800 that we dance unto the Lord. That's why the Bible. 300 00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:41,240 Said let them praise his name in the dance. 301 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:43,920 Praise him with a. Tremble and a dance. 302 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:48,360 I know there's a time to weep and there's a time to laugh, but 303 00:20:48,360 --> 00:20:52,160 there's also a time to dance. There's a time to rejoice. 304 00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:56,560 There's a time to be excited about what God is doing. 305 00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:00,720 David dance before the Lord with all of his mind. 306 00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:05,880 That means don't worry about and I believe First Apostolic Church 307 00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:11,160 has every right to dance as God is softening the ground, as God 308 00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:20,280 is preparing the harvest for this season, I'm glad. 309 00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:29,040 That I don't have to wait for 100 Soul Revival to get excited. 310 00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:37,200 Because I know. When rain is falling, the ground 311 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:40,680 is softening, and that's enough. That's enough in itself to 312 00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:48,080 rejoice about. The fact that the rain is 313 00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:52,200 falling is enough to rejoice about. 314 00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:56,840 God have mercy. I wouldn't embarrass nobody for 315 00:21:56,840 --> 00:22:00,680 nothing, but I'm so glad this sister's here tonight, I said. 316 00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:04,440 I'm so glad you're here tonight. I'm glad she's in this house 317 00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:07,840 tonight because it's proof that God is softening the ground, 318 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:11,440 that God is softening the ground for what is getting ready to 319 00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:13,600 come. We may not understand. 320 00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:16,320 It all but I just know I don't have to wait. 321 00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:17,880 Till there's a. Hundred of these. 322 00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:21,120 Sisters, I can rejoice because. There's one in the house. 323 00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:23,000 I can rejoice the fact that there's. 324 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,440 One in this place. That says, hey, I got to get 325 00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:29,040 hold of something. I don't know about you, but I'm 326 00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:33,720 glad tonight to know that God is still drawing, that God is still 327 00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:37,280 bringing in the harvest, that God is still restoring lives. 328 00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:48,440 It's worth rejoicing about. It's worth being excited about 329 00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:50,120 because. It won't be long. 330 00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:52,480 And your sons and daughters are? Coming. 331 00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:54,680 And your grandchildren are coming. 332 00:22:55,120 --> 00:22:59,600 It's worth dancing in the rain. It's worth being excited about 333 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:18,800 what God is doing in this hour. It's worth being excited about. 334 00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:23,680 I know some of y'all are thinking. 335 00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:26,240 I don't know if I can do what Bishop McGee just did. 336 00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:29,800 Yeah, I believe you can do it. I believe you can rejoice over 337 00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:32,120 what God is doing. Can I take us we? 338 00:23:32,120 --> 00:23:34,760 All got reason to dance. We all. 339 00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:38,760 The fact that we're breathing tonight is a reason to rejoice. 340 00:23:39,120 --> 00:23:42,880 The fact that there's life in the church, the fact that God is 341 00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:46,480 working is reason, isn't enough to rejoice. 342 00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:57,520 My God, it feels good in this house, I said. 343 00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:02,400 It feels good in this house. It feels good in this place. 344 00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:12,440 Feels like a place where we can dance, I said. 345 00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:14,440 It feels like a place where we can dance. 346 00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:21,080 We can dance unto the Lord because he's a good God, I said. 347 00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:27,720 He's a good God. He's a good God. 348 00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:33,360 Some of y'all think I ran out of words. 349 00:24:33,360 --> 00:24:37,080 I ain't ran out of words. The Holy Ghost is in this house 350 00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:39,960 right now and some of you are going to have to grab a hold of 351 00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:43,480 this that there's enough strength in this house to dance 352 00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:45,680 in the midst of your miracle dance. 353 00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:48,720 If you ain't got no other reason, you can rejoice because 354 00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:50,800 the rain is softening the ground. 355 00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:53,760 There's a rain in this house that is bringing. 356 00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:56,600 Revival. We can dance because we can look 357 00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:59,480 around. And see what the Lord has done, 358 00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:02,200 how He's healed our bodies, how He's. 359 00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:05,120 Touched our minds how he saved us just. 360 00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:08,400 In time. I know the adversary fed you the 361 00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:12,120 liar that the drought was going to be forever, but there's 362 00:25:12,120 --> 00:25:16,880 provision in this house. There's provision in this 363 00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:20,680 sanctuary. I just believe that God is 364 00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:24,120 getting ready to turn our morning in the dancing. 365 00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:29,520 I just believe there's a joy releasing in this house. 366 00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:40,640 Come on, there's a rain in this house. 367 00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:44,200 Come on, there's a rain in this.
