Pour out my Spirit
Continuing Vision 2020
Last time I spoke on Can you really live a life without sinning?
this sermon came out a prophesy God gave me at the end of 2019 beginning of 2020
I want to continue expanding on this prophesy today.
picking up where we left of....
Do not resuse old containers, for God is giving you a new container to house His Glory that He will release upon the earth.Do not try something because it worked in the past, likewise do not discount something because it never met your expectations. Walk in step with the Holy Spirit. He will equip and empower you.
God will reiterate
NASB95“It will come about after this That I will pour out My Spirit on all mankind; And your sons and daughters will prophesy, Your old men will dream dreams, Your young men will see visions.
For those who hunger will be filled, those who are content will never be satisfied.
Prophesy is not just for the exalted, but any who hunger after God’s presence.
For God wants to share His heart with His creation and chooses His children to make the connection.
Use the tools God has supplied to carry out His desires.
Let’s pray!
Do not resuse old containers, for God is giving you a new container to house His Glory that He will release upon the earth.
Do not try something because it worked in the past, likewise do not discount something because it never met your expectations
I believe that God is doing something that He has never done before on the earth.
“Do not call to mind the former things,
Or ponder things of the past.
“Behold, I will do something new,
Now it will spring forth;
Will you not be aware of it?
I will even make a roadway in the wilderness,
Rivers in the desert.

They Key for this is to occur is to be lead by Holy Spirit rather than tradition.
Holy Spirit will adjust our thinking and the way we do things
Yes there have been great moves of God in the past, Each one adding to the foundation of Jesus Chirst.

The words of smith Wigglesworth are in the process of becoming our reality.
but I believe we are not only seing a revival
Revival What is it?
A revival is sent by God at a specific time to a specific people based on the desire of the people. God initiates the awakening but its up to the people to respond to His Call
it literally means to re-live again.
can go my many names, awakening, revival, stirring renewal, regeneratio, resurgence, quickening,
but the the movement always means new life is breathed in by Holy Spirit!
Work of God
Spiritual awakening is a work of God. Spiritually dormant Christians cannot resuscitate themselves! Those in a coma cannot push the button beside their hospital bed to alert the nurse's station of their dire condition. They cannot give themselves medicine or go for a walk to get some fresh air. God is the Creator and sustainer of life. Only He can dispense it. Even when people begin to sense their need for revival and they start meeting with others to pray for it, they are simply responding to a divine initiative, convicting them of their sin and prompting them to return to God.
Place of Repentance
In times of revival, God takes His people to the place of repentance. There will be no revival where there is no repentance. Scripture clearly teaches that sin brings spiritual death (). The only remedy for sin is repentance (). Just as the first word of John the Baptist and Jesus in their earthly ministries was "repent," so the first place the Holy Spirit will always take people experiencing the spiritually deadening effects of sin is to the place of repentance (; ).
Returning to God
Spiritual awakening involves returning to God. God urged His people through the prophet Malachi: ". . . Return to Me, and I will return to you" (). Just as in the days of Malachi when God's people asked, "In what way shall we return?" (), so God's people are often unaware of how far they have departed from God until He leads them to return. In times of revival, God's people suddenly become aware of how far they have strayed from God, and return.
Holiness
True revival always leads to holiness. You cannot continue to practice sin and simultaneously experience spiritual renewal.In Isaiah chapter 1, God rejected His peoples' worship when they entered the place of worship with sin-filled lives (). When the prophet Isaiah experienced a fresh encounter with God, his immediate concern was his lack of holiness (). More than our worship or our service for Him, God desires holiness (; ). It is only after God restores us to holiness that we are free to pray, worship, and serve Him in the manner He deserves.
Filled with the Holy Spirit
In times of revival, people are filled with the Holy Spirit. Preaching becomes powerful when anointed by the Spirit. The congregation can sing the same songs, yet now they are invigorated by the Spirit and the times of corporate worship are characterized by the joy and presence of God's Spirit.
Willing Obedience
Revival stimulates an attitude of willing obedience to whatever God requires. Much of carnal Christianity comes not from ignorance of what God expects, but from hearts unwilling to do what God has clearly commanded. Revival, because it draws people back to the Lord, inevitably produces an eagerness to do His bidding.
Love Relationship
Most importantly, revival brings God's people back into a love relationship with Him and each other. When revival comes, people recognize their sin for what it is: a renunciation of God and a violation of the love relationship.
Salvation
Because of the presence of the 1st 6 characteristics the 7th always occurs. Salvations upon salvations
People become followers of Jesus Christ. and the cycle continues.
It is estimated that more than 600m of estimated 900m protestant Christians worldwide, find their roots in the pentecostal movement that marks its beginning at Azusa St, and is today far and away the fasted growing sector of the church worldwide.

Reformation
Ill Story of 14 year in BC Parents in court
Blow a trumpet in Zion,
And sound an alarm on My holy mountain!
Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble,
For the day of the Lord is coming;
Surely it is near,
A day of darkness and gloom,
A day of clouds and thick darkness.
As the dawn is spread over the mountains,
So there is a great and mighty people;
There has never been anything like it,
Nor will there be again after it
To the years of many generations.
A fire consumes before them
And behind them a flame burns.
The land is like the garden of Eden before them
But a desolate wilderness behind them,
And nothing at all escapes them.
Their appearance is like the appearance of horses;
And like war horses, so they run.
With a noise as of chariots
They leap on the tops of the mountains,
Like the crackling of a flame of fire consuming the stubble,
Like a mighty people arranged for battle.
Before them the people are in anguish;
All faces turn pale.
They run like mighty men,
They climb the wall like soldiers;
And they each march in line,
Nor do they deviate from their paths.
They do not crowd each other,
They march everyone in his path;
When they burst through the defenses,
They do not break ranks.
They rush on the city,
They run on the wall;
They climb into the houses,
They enter through the windows like a thief.
Before them the earth quakes,
The heavens tremble,
The sun and the moon grow dark
And the stars lose their brightness.
The Lord utters His voice before His army;
Surely His camp is very great,
For strong is he who carries out His word.
The day of the Lord is indeed great and very awesome,
And who can endure it?
“Yet even now,” declares the Lord,
“Return to Me with all your heart,
And with fasting, weeping and mourning;
And rend your heart and not your garments.”
Now return to the Lord your God,
For He is gracious and compassionate,
Slow to anger, abounding in lovingkindness
And relenting of evil.
Who knows whether He will not turn and relent
And leave a blessing behind Him,
Even a grain offering and a drink offering
For the Lord your God?
Blow a trumpet in Zion,
Consecrate a fast, proclaim a solemn assembly,
Gather the people, sanctify the congregation,
Assemble the elders,
Gather the children and the nursing infants.
Let the bridegroom come out of his room
And the bride out of her bridal chamber.
Let the priests, the Lord’s ministers,
Weep between the porch and the altar,
And let them say, “Spare Your people, O Lord,
And do not make Your inheritance a reproach,
A byword among the nations.
Why should they among the peoples say,
‘Where is their God?’ ”
Then the Lord will be zealous for His land
And will have pity on His people.
The Lord will answer and say to His people,
“Behold, I am going to send you grain, new wine and oil,
And you will be satisfied in full with them;
And I will never again make you a reproach among the nations.
“But I will remove the northern army far from you,
And I will drive it into a parched and desolate land,
And its vanguard into the eastern sea,
And its rear guard into the western sea.
And its stench will arise and its foul smell will come up,
For it has done great things.”
Do not fear, O land, rejoice and be glad,
For the Lord has done great things.
Do not fear, beasts of the field,
For the pastures of the wilderness have turned green,
For the tree has borne its fruit,
The fig tree and the vine have yielded in full.
So rejoice, O sons of Zion,
And be glad in the Lord your God;
For He has given you the early rain for your vindication.
And He has poured down for you the rain,
The early and latter rain as before.
The threshing floors will be full of grain,
And the vats will overflow with the new wine and oil.
“Then I will make up to you for the years
That the swarming locust has eaten,
The creeping locust, the stripping locust and the gnawing locust,
My great army which I sent among you.
“You will have plenty to eat and be satisfied
And praise the name of the Lord your God,
Who has dealt wondrously with you;
Then My people will never be put to shame.
“Thus you will know that I am in the midst of Israel,
And that I am the Lord your God,
And there is no other;
And My people will never be put to shame.
“It will come about after this
That I will pour out My Spirit on all mankind;
And your sons and daughters will prophesy,
Your old men will dream dreams,
Your young men will see visions.
“Even on the male and female servants
I will pour out My Spirit in those days.
“I will display wonders in the sky and on the earth,
Blood, fire and columns of smoke.
“The sun will be turned into darkness
And the moon into blood
Before the great and awesome day of the Lord comes.
“And it will come about that whoever calls on the name of the Lord
Will be delivered;
For on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem
There will be those who escape,
As the Lord has said,
Even among the survivors whom the Lord calls.

How bad does it need to get before the church rises up?
We live in a world desperately in need of Jesus.
Politicians are not going to fix it,
Courts are not going to fix it
Protests are not going to fix it
the Media are not going to fix it
the only chance this world has is if the Church rises up in Love and carry’s out the will of the Father.
‘For I will pour out water on the thirsty land
And streams on the dry ground;
I will pour out My Spirit on your offspring
And My blessing on your descendants;
So rejoice, O sons of Zion,
And be glad in the Lord your God;
For He has given you the early rain for your vindication.
And He has poured down for you the rain,
The early and latter rain as before.
“It will come about after this
That I will pour out My Spirit on all mankind;
And your sons and daughters will prophesy,
Your old men will dream dreams,
Your young men will see visions.
‘And it shall be in the last days,’ God says,
‘That I will pour forth of My Spirit on all mankind;
And your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
And your young men shall see visions,
And your old men shall dream dreams;
We are in the Last Days. they began in the book of Acts and culminate with the return of Jesus to reclaim His Bride on the Day of the Lord!
“As for Me, this is My covenant with them,” says the Lord: “My Spirit which is upon you, and My words which I have put in your mouth shall not depart from your mouth, nor from the mouth of your offspring, nor from the mouth of your offspring’s offspring,” says the Lord, “from now and forever.”
We are God’s voice on the earth. We are to speak life
The hand of the Lord was upon me, and He brought me out by the Spirit of the Lord and set me down in the middle of the valley; and it was full of bones.
He caused me to pass among them round about, and behold, there were very many on the surface of the valley; and lo, they were very dry.
He said to me, “Son of man, can these bones live?” And I answered, “O Lord God, You know.”
Again He said to me, “Prophesy over these bones and say to them, ‘O dry bones, hear the word of the Lord.’
“Thus says the Lord God to these bones, ‘Behold, I will cause breath to enter you that you may come to life.
‘I will put sinews on you, make flesh grow back on you, cover you with skin and put breath in you that you may come alive; and you will know that I am the Lord.’ ”
So I prophesied as I was commanded; and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold, a rattling; and the bones came together, bone to its bone.
And I looked, and behold, sinews were on them, and flesh grew and skin covered them; but there was no breath in them.
Then He said to me, “Prophesy to the breath, prophesy, son of man, and say to the breath, ‘Thus says the Lord God, “Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe on these slain, that they come to life.” ’ ”
So I prophesied as He commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they came to life and stood on their feet, an exceedingly great army.
Then He said to me, “Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel; behold, they say, ‘Our bones are dried up and our hope has perished. We are completely cut off.’
“Therefore prophesy and say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God, “Behold, I will open your graves and cause you to come up out of your graves, My people; and I will bring you into the land of Israel.
“Then you will know that I am the Lord, when I have opened your graves and caused you to come up out of your graves, My people.
“I will put My Spirit within you and you will come to life, and I will place you on your own land. Then you will know that I, the Lord, have spoken and done it,” declares the Lord.’ ”
“Turn to my reproof,
Behold, I will pour out my spirit on you;
I will make my words known to you.
“For the promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off, as many as the Lord our God will call to Himself.”
Until the Spirit is poured out upon us from on high,
And the wilderness becomes a fertile field,
And the fertile field is considered as a forest.
