Thank you. Let me try father. Thank you for pizza other. I thank you for his ministry. Father, I thank you for the word for the nation for preaching. The Gospel Four, singing Chuck-E-Cheese arise and be different. I'll be toxin field by your spirit. Father. I pray that Lord you move in our hearts, as we hear your word today in Jesus name, amen. Amen. Thank you. Yeah. Good to be with you and this expression of what was Rowdy made, Christian fellowship or Community Church and its various times. I've been in four different meeting places, I think, since I started visiting you many, many years ago, we were in that little chapel guide of that we were in the school, then we were around the corner by the station and here we are. And I think this is the best of the law. Yeah, yeah. And that is the beginning of a new adventure for you. I'm sure. So it it really is encouraging to be with you. I was Saturday and Sunday morning. I play the keyboard a little bit while the piano I don't like the keyboard is too big. I did. The acoustic piano is my limit. Apply a bit like Les Dawson for those of you who are older and remember this morning. And one of the songs, I, I played was for you. Oh, Lord. Hi about all the things I told you it was really encouraged this morning to fill. Hey, we're in the flow and this is good news. So I mean courage that we going to experience something of God's presence and power this morning. As we meet together, I've been around for many years lost week, lost Sunday with my birthday. How old do you think I was at? So, how did you think I was lost Sunday? Come on. BB honest. I've got a daughter of 53 or we've got a daughter 5303 nearly ya, ya know, I was 76 lost, we came in and I got married in 1970, so we've been married fifty-three. Yes, we also started in Ministry, not that far from here. If Bonnet know if London in 1970. So we're playing around and we still going and we're looking forward to it, a new season for us as well. We're actually moving to Walton on the knees up on the Essex Coast there in the next couple of months, not to retire. Well, kind of, but in response to prophetic encouragement and we believe we got into another new season for us, so we're excited. We're not settling down or dying living with a real sense of expectation of being part of the move of the spirit of God, I've written five books, actually type the password about the Holy Spirit. Lots of prophetic words about what I believe God is going to do. I know what size is a basic physiological outline of the work of the Holy Spirit. Anybody like that book. Hey you are my didn't catch that number to yes you're very encouraging yet. Come and get that. Ya. Alright. Alright everybody wondering what my brother from here, on the back. Yeah, yeah. Yeah.

That's for you. All right, I've got two of us and I'm not giving them away. I left to buy them the story about at Journey, we've got somebody read it and said to me I believe God is going to use this book to bring people back to him. People have known what it is to walk with God and it walks away from God, that they're going to read it and be touched by God and start their Journey Back To God. That's so valuable five of that one. And this one is a funny book. I wrote it off to the Kobe thing when there was a lot of miserable people about and it's full of stories of mission experiences. When we've been on Mission, some funny things have happened, some of them will make you smile. Some of them will make you laugh. Laugh out loud? Some of them will horrify you.

Money from that book. I raise the money to have it printed and every penny from the side of that book goes to Mission and that survivors run. In fact, every book on the back table that is a five. And if you buy four for 20 lb, you can have the fifth one. But nothing. So do I say you are, I'm not trying to get rid of them. I just want to give you the opportunity to to take these off my hands and whatever. Okay, so that's the commercial and I can take called, by the way as well. So I'm speaking this morning on a prophetic word, that came to us at a little while ago in the church but I felt it's more than a wood for our church. It's a wood for the church and then for you as part of the church is a word for you, it comes in three statements, white cop. Look up. And Rise Up. And I've been leaving those three statements. We have a word from God to encourage and Inspire Us in this present day, in which we living waike. Cuz if you don't wake up your sleep through it I miss it. Have you had that experience at 7 to 6, it's increasingly happening to me. I'm a football fan and for some reason they put match of the day on light Saturday night and I start my team, I never on first cuz they're not good enough. So I stopped at half past 10 watching the football and I can't do the first couple of matches and then I wake up in the middle of some of the match and I slept through it. Admits that experience. What happened? Cuz you go to sleep now. He is a really date that we got some students here this morning. Yeah. So that clever students listen to this. Don't know, you've been to sleep until you wake up. Think about it. This is very thing. You don't know you're asleep. Until you wake up true, isn't it look bad as hell? I went to sleep then when you wake up you think I've been asleep and you don't know, but your brain to sleep until you wake up so it's possible to be asleep and not realize it. In fact you never realize you were asleep until you wake up. You think I've been asleep and I think for many Believers and many churches and networks and Christians to die, they are asleep. I did not aware of it. Asleep. I'm not aware of it. That's a really unfortunate disappointing condition to be. And I believe that God wants us to wake up, you know. God worked among these people through. Joshua is a very powerful chapter chapter 3 of Joshua. I did not chapter, we find Joshua waking up early in the morning. It says a Joshua, a rose early in the morning and God did incredible things through him that night. They went through the Jordan, the Jordan Howerton. Miracles happen for the feed, to stay to sleep, either missed it. If you're going to be

We have to wake up to what he's doing. You know, you and Isaiah 51 and 52 three times. God says, exactly the same thing. How do you stop all three of those verses with these words. Awake awake, o Zion awake awake. Why did he tell these people to awake? Because they were asleep. In fact, his some really deep theology following Isaiah 51. You guys are 52. I didn't say nose chapters. Three times, God, says awake awake. I'm going to do something. I'm going to move, I'm coming. I mean, I saw a 53, which follows our eyes on 52. We have this prophetic word about the coming. Messiah was going to come and suffer and die and pay the price for people selling white caulk, white caulk cuz your salvation is coming of what happened, when he came to his people, They were asleep and I missed it. Cuz the very people he came to that the Jewish Nation to Israel when he was born and live. When Jesus came what happened? They missed it cuz I were asleep. I need long for them to respond to him and come to an experience this wonderful salvation but I slept through it and missed it really serious, you know, to be asleep. I'm not aware of what is happening. We need to be aware of what's going on in our world is aversive 1 Chronicles 12, one of my favorite verses and it says, this is 1 Chronicles 12:30 to talk to about the sons of issachar who had understanding of the times to know what Israel or to do that, with these people who had an understanding of the times and knew what the people of God should do. And I believe, for us at the church, with this prophetic anointing that we have. This prophetic gifting that we have, we need to be aware. Of the time in which we living and know what we ought to be doing. The world is in chaos. The world is in a mess. What is going to be the next horrific news item that? We watch it so much like a lunchtime today. You might switch off the news and you just know that there's going to be another bomb drop. There's going to be another chaos, chaos 6 situation. He's going to be another flood, another fire, another disaster. Another train crash that it's like, we're living in a world full of chaos. And we need to understand that I'm Jesus spoke about time of chaos ad wars and rumors of wars. And as I understand what I'm reading and what I'm seeing, I believe that God, he sang to us one of two things or even both. One thing I, the Jesus is coming again very soon cuz this world is in such chaos. Or we desperately need a move. Holy Spirit to come and change the situation because we can't go on in this chaotic. Well, I'm kind of I know many people will looking for the change of government to make a difference and he's homeless like within 3 months.

Beyond Series in a significant powerful intervention of the Holy Spirit. That's the only thing that's going to change it. All Jesus is coming again or it's probably cuz the scriptures speak of both. And we need to wake up to what's happening. I don't know if you are aware of this but in 1917 in Moscow and Russia, oh, what's the stalling? And his friends and his friends gather together to plan the other probably the tsar of Russia and to and to initiate the communist regime. I'm very successfully within a few years, the whole of the Eastern Bloc countries came under the domination of an atheistic. Communist take philosophy. I'm up the road at exactly the same time. The Orthodox Church were having a convention. I'm back with discussing what color vest the priest should wear on Easter Sunday, whether it should be purple or blue. While the world is coming on the Demonic influence and activity. The church is discussing. What color shirt to wear with. Need to wake up, to, what's happening church? We need to wake up to what is happening in. I will, there are things going on in our world that we need to be aware of in order to respond as God comes. You knowing the church, extraordinary things are happening. God is pouring out his spirit and unprecedented ways and unprecedented places. The church is in decline in the West. About 10 extraordinary growth Partners in the East. It's interesting that we've got to a brother from around here, you know, where the fastest growing Church in the world is today it's in the Iran and Afghanistan. Both of which got a bad press as countries for that political stocks and other activities but God is working. A China is still Express experiencing extraordinary growth and God is working in India. The church in India is larger than it has ever been in the whole of History. Hey to God, he's working. God is moving by his Spirit called he's doing extraordinary things. In extraordinary ways. We got some students here this morning. Let me encourage you. God is moving, amongst the student population last year in February, or the end of January in a small College. Small Christian College University in a spray, a few students. Behind after that service to pray and wait upon God. The service was over the benediction that happened in half. A dozen students began to cry out to God, that he would come and he came I'm a power cord broke in upon that place. So God came with his presence in these pallets, the rest of the college was impacted and students began to gather from. Are there any 1,000 students in the college I'd like packed into the whole tutorium, the main one, which held 650 people and within the short time, it was jam-packed with Judas crying out to God and the Holy Spirit fell upon them and kids were having radical transforming experience has an encounter with God and it broke out all over the place until people from all around the world with gathering in a friend of mine called Rich Wilson. Actually went, I was part of it, he knew the leaders of it and he came into the middle of this. Think he said it was the most extraordinary thing he'd ever seen in the church that the police had put up signs half a mile out from the town. The small town of aspirate saying, Revival. Parking space cuz people couldn't get into the town and people. The move of God was so powerful. That two people watching on the screens outside waiting to get in the Gathering. We're having these transforming encounter with the power of the Holy Spirit. Hey, I need didn't stop there all around the world with hearing stories of student communities, being impacted by the presence of God, you're in the right place goes, yeah, you're in the right place cuz God is coming by your spirit and moving powerfully in the world in which we live. We need to be aware of that and respond to what God is doing, is great to hear that. You moved out so it A diet that cuz you believe God is going to work in that way for you guys, we need to be aware of what's happening in the world. In terms of mental health, I don't need to go through this statistic with you but just to say it is absolutely phenomenal. What is happening? I watch the news just about a year ago on BBC News and they declared the three hundred thousand people have not returned to work. Following covid with mental health issues, 300,000 the next week, there was an article on the News, BBC News, the hundred thousand 11 to 18 11 to 18 year old to not return to school, Juju to anxiety and fear. When I spoke about that in the Midlands. The Director of Education First for the West Main Collins was in the meat to get came to me. He said, it said, it's not just a hundred thousand, he said, it's a phenomenal number of 11, to 18 year old, whose mental health has been absolutely devastated by the covid, experience and fear and anxiety. And depression is rampant amongst teenagers with with, with living, in a world where people, you know, people in your street, your neighbors are struggling with mental health issues, it's a massive, massive problem, and I could speak of her ideas about that, but I don't want to accept to say this Did I believe God's heart is moved by people who are in need? And I believe that God sees the need of the people in our nation. And I believe the Cry of the people is being Hood in heaven. You know, in the Old Testament, in Exodus chapter 28, talk about how the children of Israel. And he says this in Exodus 223, the Israelites was still groaning under their slavery and they and they cried out the hell, they cry went out to God who heard, they're groaning. He saw the bondage of the Israelites and was concerned for the hood. That groaning, I believe is the groaning of people who are struggling and suffering with anxiety, and fear, and oppression in our day, in our country, and our streets in downtown. I believe it. When Jesus spoken, Matthew 9 is he looked across the, the, the, the multi true that he's hot was moved with compassion because you saw, they were tired and Scattered like sheep without a Shepherd. I believe that Jesus heart is still the same back in heaven, and he sees people struggling and suffering and his heart is moved with compassion and I believe we ask the judge other people with the answer to thank God forever. I will goodnight station for National Health but every medication and help that is available. But actually it's an encounter a transforming Encounter With Jesus. That's going to make the difference.

We need to wake up. We need to wake up. I believe, God hears the Cry of people's hearts. I think I've been reading a lot about the move of the spirit, 100 years ago, the Pentecostal move of the spirit in the twenties and early thirties. There was a phenomenal move among the working classes of our country. It didn't top the established church in the middle classes. It was a working class movement. The Trenches were very difficult years. There was massive unemployment. There was no National Health, any medical treatment, you need it, you had to pay for and people had no money. The Homeland is homelessness was right there were major social problems. Alcoholism was rampant and people will living and Dreadful, poor condition in the twenties. The notorious you read the history of social history of this country and you'll read that in the trenches. They were massive, massive problems. I believe God, heard the Cry of the people. In those days I near a you stop healing, evangelist, George, and Steven Jeffries, and Smith Wigglesworth were rampant in this country. Held message through save in, working-class areas, holdover have, London to visit parking regularly and the balcony 1924. There was an extraordinary, move out the Holy Spirit and their hundreds and thousands of people came to Christ. Incredible, Miracle took place cuz God heard the Cry of the people. And I believe, God is hearing the Cry of people with with mental health, problems and anxiety, and fear, and oppression. And he's raising up people in Ministry and Julia to minister to people with those needs because he hears the Cry of those people as he did in the 1920s. Got moved at work done, extraordinary things have David miracles of the most extraordinary Laura. My favorite Miracle is a miracle of a young nine-year-old. Go who had no eyes at all. Just I suck it and hands were laid on her and she was prey full by George Jeffries. And Instantly. Beautiful blue eyes appear, what a wonderful glorious! God, how great! How great is? Yeah, I need hears the Cry of suffering people as you did in the Old Testament, as Jesus responding to the needs in the dude, he's the same. God he hasn't changed. These hot is moved with compassion. Other generation of, people are struggling of young. People struggling with mental health, issues of old people struggling single parents struggling of the needs of the hour. And we need to be aware of that. We need to wake up to that and respond on the second thing cuz I could talk about why you're not for ages, cuz I believe it's really important that we the real challenge. I what's happening? Wake up to what's going on around us. God, save us from becoming like that church in Russia. This when discussing about what color shirt to wear, when there's a world out there that needs desperately needs to know Jesus and he's transforming Paola. We don't just need to wake up. We need to look out cuz the problem with waking up. When you become aware of the needs, you can go down the tubes as we say. You're going to actually give out, you can say what what can we do about it. You know the government can't do anything about it. Whichever Crowder it. So what could we hope to achieve? We can only read this one or that one? Well, actually, the answer is that having woken up with that. Need to look her up cuz we talked to this week console this week, Aunt resolve this only God kind and so we need to look up courage to do that in both the Old, and the New Testament in someone 21 of the Sami says, is I will lift up my eyes to the hills. Where should my help come from? He also question, where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord who made heaven and that's where I help comes from. We don't give up, we don't go down the tubes, we don't lay down and die. If we don't come under some heavy depression, cuz we have been In Heaven, There is a guy who could move powerfully into any situation and change it and transported. As he's doing today has he is always done in the past when we were encouraged to worship and sing. How Great Is Our God. I was reminded of occasions with Irene and I I've ever experienced God's help in Hopeless situations. I could keep you for a few hours. If you like telling you stories of where there was no way out there was no possibility of change, but God stepped in a dream, one time to come and help us cuz we were in a mess and we couldn't get out on their own. I got sent somebody by retrieve. I mean he is incredible. And nothing is impossible with him. Nothing is impossible. Not, anything is impossible with him. And so we need to look how he packed. Jesus told us to look up when these things were happening at. Luke 21 where he says, about the time win wars and rumors of wars and famines. And I know, all this stuff was happening. What did Jesus say? Go into a flat spin and go in a depression and, and shut your door and hope? It's all going to go away. Now, he didn't, he said, when you see these things be happy again to happen. Luke 21:28 then look out for your Redemption draws near. Now, I know that's joking about the second coming, but I want to tell you, I believe with all my heart, we need to look out for our Redemption draws near. Might come in the form of a significant Revival, a significant move out, the Holy Spirit Nation. I didn't forget any Ugandan. See anybody from Uganda. Hear ya Bow. Wow, wonderful. Uganda was stripped of everything in 1995, it was in an absolute mess. The infrastructure was broken down, one in four people and being infected with AIDS, as a result of EDI means, hideous, 10 is a dictatorship. And then five years of Civil War has left the nation. Absolutely. On its knees in 1995, a move out, the Holy Spirit started and the nation began to transfer. Be transformed. And now other message church is all throughout the land. Extraordinary Miracles, have been happening for the last 35 years. God has been working and their economy has grown. They're still got away. To go, but he's one of the fastest-growing economies in Africa, the AIDS statistics or one of the only countries where it's going down because people are living in monogamous monogamous relationships. And so are the statistics are changing cuz God has broken in to that Nation. I got come through that anywhere in any place. At any time I believe God is going to do it. I believe God is going to come. I believe God is going to move. I can take you back to that chapter in in Joshua Tree, you know, he woke up Joshua to what was happening. And then God says to him, look up in Joshua 3, verse 5 godsister Joshua sanctify yourselves for tomorrow, the Lord will do wonders among you. Get yourself ready cuz it's coming right at the beginning of the service. I was rushing here and there and blacking out windows and make sure everything was all right. But he did just got a few seconds with me and he said that he said called said to us. At the end of last year he's going to send this is tsunami.

Yeah, get yourselves ready? Yeah, look up. Get ready. Cuz tomorrow tomorrow, God is going to do wonders among you.

New season we need a new. Would we need to do things in the new way? You know one of the things God says to just you in those verses in Joshua 3 is this you have not passed this way before. Yeah, you're not passed this way before you're going to do things. You're going to be involved in in things that you've ever it is for of Joshua 3. I know you're not passed this way before God's doing new things. In new wife, what I love about that story is that they went, they went towards the Jordans and to get into the promised land. And God said, you know, you're not passed this way before the new day, new word, new thing. Some of the people would have been around, who remember, Moses open in the Red Sea and I can imagine some of the old fogies like me. You no pain around 4, he is coming up to Joshua. The young man or the younger man inside to Nellis and Joshua, we told Moses to it. This is what you do. You take the stuff and you hold it over the Red Sea and you say it just like chocolate. Masturbating to tell you, say you see you say stand still and see the salvation of God says, now that's nuts a new day. Is a new word, just different Miracle. So God said to Joshua, what I want you to do is get the priest to pick out the ark and will towards the red safe. I like imagine the old fogies side. What work? You know, that's not how you do it. Did it yesterday, something different, something. Fresh. That's why we need to be open to God doing something new and fresh, and different for us. In this in this generation will not pass this way. Before we're going to have to adjust to, to meet the needs of people. I want to tell you that, a lot of these folks is struggling with anxiety and fifth concept, through 45 minutes to wash it and 45 minutes of some old guy at the front spot and his mouth o, they can't do it. We're going to reach them. We got to find. Is that right to this? We got to find new ways of communicating of connecting. The gospel doesn't show in terms of the importance of all of these things. But it's a new season. A new day Dawns. Going to do something new and fresh. We must be people willing to change. I believe we have a really

I really wonderful opportunity to be part of what God is going to do. I'm convinced, he's going to move a lot that you're ready for it. I love that you didn't stay where you were and said, hey, we can stay here and wait till it happens, and then we'll do it. But you actually took a risk, I took a step of faith and in a fight that, hey, you are preparing yourself because why? Because you convinced that work out says, he's going to come to cost yet. There might be a few PSI. Do you know, we really love this cozy and all of that and we live with all of that. But we understand the importance of moving forward and believing God for a fresh new movement of the holy spirit. All I could say a lot more but I but I don't want to. What I want to do is I want to bring up, Isaiah 61 verse 12, Barrel nut on the overheads. Can you flip through to the last swab? Yeah. Okay. Well that was quick.

These are the words of Jesus. And I believe, you know, you say what should we do with this is what we should do. This is what God's calling his dick. This is why God has moved you here so that you can fill this place with people. Huh.

He's moved you here because he has a heart for those who are struggling and suffering for those who fear and anxiety struggling to survive. If the people who are going through all kinds of problems with depression and other issues for people struggling to pay their bills for people struggling in relationships with, people are struggling with issues of sexuality, for people who is broccoli just to get up in the morning.

Call, that's annoying. To this with a message of Truth, the spirit of the Lord God is upon me. What for do? I have great meetings, just fabulous worship. The second reissues and then the blessings that come to us. But this is the reason for the anointing of the Lord has anointed me to preach. Good news to the poor. Good news to the poor. The poor. He sent me to heal. The Brokenhearted. We're living in a nice section of broken, a world of broken hearted people. You caught what ship television news saying, people who have lost fathers and mothers and children. Without being moved the broken hearted people. Jesus come to heal. Broken. Hearted people, whether their hours of Jews of it right in a white British people? He's come to heal the brokenhearted, to Proclaim Liberty to the captives captive. In slavery of different kinds is come to open the prison of those who are bound. And next to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, the day of Vengeance of our God to comfort or who every one of those statements about the purpose of the Holy Spirit has to do with meeting the needs of people. Heal the brokenhearted set, the captive free comfort, those who preach the gospel to the poor? The purpose of God filling us with the Holy Spirit is for people's lives to be radically transformed by the power of the Living God. That's what you're here for. Are you still running me? Christian Fellowship Ronnie made Christian Fellowship. God is adding to your growing, you students of the University, you all they have to do is agree and I want you to study really hard, but God's purpose for you is much bigger than that, the spirit of the Lord is upon you because there's a whole generation of students who are lost and broken and moved it and struggling with fear and anxiety. This move of the spirit in Ashbury. Fremont, software happened. They did an evaluation of the effect of this move of the spirit. Before it happened. In any one month around 40 or over 40% of the students would go for counseling. Mainly for anxiety and fear over 40% of the students 3 months. After the move of the spirit, they did an evaluation and they found only 2% to 2% of the students, we're going to counseling. Was that? Well, because Jesus Jesus heals, the Brokenhearted Jesus releases the captive Jesus Comforts those who mourn. Jesus release anxiety and fear depression.

Jesus, does it? The spirit comes upon us and through us. So you girls had any other students. Answer you in your workplace. I didn't your street.

Where you live God wants to anoint you. To bring this message, I couldn't use the Jesus. Make people Holland sets. People free. And I prophesy Ivo. If you respond a white cop, Look up. Get up. Rise up, get active. Not just come to meetings on Sunday to discuss whether you like this song or that song Or what that's you should wear or whether you like this one leading worship. Well, that one lady was, whether the preacher goes on too long or not most weeks, we do.

And actually get serious. Get serious about seeing this anointing released into a weld. They struggling a broken. I believe God will fulfil every prophetic. Puppets that he has for you running Mead Christian Fellowship. I look around and I see all the faces. I see some really black face, stocks, can I see some brown skin? I see some lighter skin. I even see some Chinese software. Bringing the nation's, the Runnymede Christian Fellowship, why Goes through you. He wants to talk to the world. I see many people from different nations watching today through the, through the

Camera. Yeah, what do you call it?

Yeah, that's right. The livestream. Yeah. Can I see God wanted to touch and bless and reach the world? Through this ministry father, in the name of Jesus calling your name today. I pray for a new Fresh Dynamic increasing anointing of your wonderful. Holy Spirit. I pray, you will come with new Dynamic sense of your presence upon your people to release through the your purpose in this day. Help us to wake up and see the need all around to see. The people are struggling all around us and pray that we will look out. And I understand that in our own strength out of our own resources, we can't do this. Go to rise up under the anointing of the Holy Spirit and in your name, to lay hands on the sick and see them recover in, your name to speak, deliverance and freedom to the cops is in your name. To bring your word to bring release to fear and anxiety, and depression. And to see your glory released in all day, in our generation, in our nation, in the Nations represented in this Gathering, and across the live stream, in the name of Jesus, in the name of Jesus, please come to his Lord. We really do want to wake up and not be relevant in a diet generation. Pray for the leadership of this judge pray for every person in this Gathering. Pray for the students in this place, Lord of that together. We might rise out to fulfilled. Your purpose for us and through us. Play this generation in Jesus name. Hi babe. I'm in books at the back if you want them. And if you would like prayer because you're struggling with anxiety,
