Wow. What you've been hearing and what you've been feeling in this place, you can't put a price on it. I'm not taking an offering, but I'm go ahead and prepare you for the offering. Is that all right? >> What God's been doing here and thankful for the great messages that we've heard. >> And as you're making your way back to your seats, I want to thank brother and sister Varnum, Bishop and Pastor Varnum, and the church here. By the way, thank you choir. Great job, choir. They sang my theme song, Happy Hataba. Well, you'll get that on the way home. Amen. We've bragged about this conference. One of my favorite conferences. You saved a lot in advertising because I've been promoting it all over. I'm promoting it all over. Amen. I want to say also, remain standing because we're bringing the man of God. Remain standing. We're going to bring the man of God. I want to say thank you for giving young men opportunities and opening doors for young men. I I started preaching when I was 12 years old. Brother Cley, where you at? I started preaching when I was in Rosario, just few feet up from the Parana River, right there in Rosario. My first message, I don't think anybody got the Holy Ghost, but I don't think anybody lost it. And that was my goal. They kept the Holy Ghost. And uh the young man I'm bringing to you today, I'm honored to introduce him. And I was thinking, how do I introduce this young man? And I thought, he's such a model young man. But I went to the dictionary and model says he's just a small imitation of the real thing. Then I thought, what a warm young man he is. And the dictionary says warm, not so hot. I didn't think that would fit. And I thought, he's got a lion spirit. But a lion sleeps 20 hours a day. Remember, brother Crosley in in Africa. Amen. There's two kinds of preachers. Those that are nervous, those that are liars. You You'll get that later on. And let me say about Brother Justin, don't let your family situation determine the limit of what God can do in you. Don't let your story of your family put a limit on God. If you're looking for an excuse, you'll have one. But I thank God for brother Justin. If Jesus was introducing him, he said, "The he that is among you, the greatest shall be your servant." And I'm introducing a servant. Whatever you ask brother Justin to do. And by the way, a servant is never out of a job. >> Find a place to serve. Serve wherever you can. You know, you can be too God for you can be too big for God to use, >> but you can never be too small. You'll find him on the drums. You'll find him cleaning the church. You'll find him early in the morning when nobody's watching him in the prayer room praying in our 5:00 a.m. prayers. I've seen him there. You'll find him with the broom. You'll find him with the mop. You'll find him with a video camera. You know how you know you have the right servant spirit by how you react when you're treated like one. >> Brother Justin, I'm so glad his mom is here. Thank you so much. And his family members are here. We love you. He's not just on the front row and in the altar here. He's on the front row and in the altar in our church. >> And I thank God. By the way, you there's five reasons you need to be in the altar every service. >> You got to be there for yourself. >> You got to be there to pray with somebody. >> You got to be there to pray for somebody. And if you ain't got nothing else to pray for, pray God fills the altars. >> And if you don't want to pray that, at least come to the altar, make the devil mad. Amen. Brother Justin's often in the altars praying for souls and praying for people to get the Holy Ghost. Brother Justin has not been looking for a pulpit. He's been looking for souls. And if you want to be used of God, this isn't where it starts. Seek a soul more than a pulpit. I'm honored to introduce to you, Brother Justin Pantalleion. I love you and God's going to use your great Amen. And why don't we clap our hands unto the Lord tonight? He's worthy of it all. He's worthy to be praised ever more. Blessed be the name of the Lord. Blessed be the name of the Lord. Come on, clap your hands, all ye people, and shout with a voice of triumph. Shout unto God with the voice of triumph, for he has conquered it all. You have victory over your situation in Jesus name. In Jesus name.
I'd like to give honor to your pastor and your bishop. They have been very impactful. I'd like to give honor to this great church, Souls Harbor. I've been here many times for TTF and never once has there never been a new experience and a new encounter of God in this place that I have felt. And it's been new every single time I come. And so I'm thankful for this conference. Um, I'd also like to give a quick thank you to my pastor, Pastor Happy Hatabal. He's been a voice in my life, the man of God for me. And just a quick thank you to my mom. She's been with me 17 years and more to come. Amen. But I believe the Lord is going to speak to someone today. It's going to speak into your life, into your family, into your situation. So, if you would open your Bibles to Habacook 2:3. Habacook 2:3. Amen. And the word of the Lord says, "For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak and not lie, though it tar." Wait for it because it will surely come. It will not tear. Now, I like to look at the vision part of this scripture and it shows me and I saw it and I read it and I was like, this reminds me of promises, visions of promises that are yet to come. And so, my title tonight is the promise is worth the wait. The promise is worth the wait. So, if you would just raise your hands really quickly and why don't we give God some praise, Lord. Oh God, we come before you. We come before your presence. We pray, oh God, Jesus, that you would have your way. We pray, oh God, thy kingdom come and thy will be done in Jesus' name. And if you believe that, you may be seated tonight and why don't you clap your hands in Jesus' name. In Jesus name.
Now we look at in um we look at preparation and the waiting and we look at that season of time where you are being prepared in that waiting season. And a story I always love to be reminded of is David. And he's one of the best examples for that because David could have killed Saul. We see that in scripture where he had chances where he could kill the Lord's anointed. But you know what he said? He said in his mind, "No, I can't kill the Lord's anointed. He's still anointed. The crown is still on his head. I still need to give reverence to the Lord's anointed because the promise was worth the wait for him. The promise was worth the wait for his situation, for his life. In Jesus' name, you may be seated." We look at Lamentations 3:25 and it says, "The Lord is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him." And David saw after the Lord. We would see it in the songs that he would sing unto the Lord in Psalms, and we would see how present he was, that he needed the Lord's presence. >> David could have killed Saul when David was asked, but the Lord knew that every battle was his. David knew that the battle was the Lord's before he even became king. >> The weight isn't an obstacle, church >> in your way. It's a preparation in your spirit. If you have an obstacle in your way right now, just know it's not there for it's not there by accident. No, God has put it there so you can be ready when the time comes. You may be seated.
The second point is when you are in the promise. And a lot of times sometimes we lose we lose where are we in that promise? What am I supposed to do? God, I'm in the promise. I I already waited. Now, what am I supposed to do? And we look at Moses and the children of Israel as they were coming to the promised land. Oh Moses, if you wouldn't have struck that rock, if you wouldn't have struck that rock twice, if you would have just spoken to the rock and let the water come out, how much the promise would have been there. >> If you would have seen Joseph as he was a slave, he was beaten. He had anything. It wasn't going for him. But God, but God, he came in and Joseph waited. He waited for that time of approval where now he was giving visions to Pharaoh and then he became the second most appointed and he led God's people and God's people were sought out because God protects his people always. You see, the children of Israel needed Philippians 4:19, but my God that will supply all your need according to his riches and glory, but in Christ Jesus. You know, the children of Israel had a complaining attitude. They always wanted to complain about this. Hey, why do I get food? Why do I get water? But they never realized who brought you out of Egypt. >> Who brought you out of this city? who brought you out of Pharaoh's hand. They forgot that my God that will supply all your needs to the riches and glory. Come on, church. We have to supply. We have to look to the Lord cuz he will give you the victory. He will give you the plans. He will give you the purpose. Don't forget who brought you in the promise because he will bring you through >> in your own job, in your own life. Life may try to bring obstacles in your way, but don't forget God will bring you out. >> Don't forget the Lord God Almighty who brought the children of Israel. Don't forget the Lord God Almighty that saved David from lions. Don't forget the Lord God Almighty that gave Samson strength once again to break the walls and conquer the Philistines.
This third and last point and this is so to the point that we have been talking about in generations and pastor I was watching the TTF live stream for the preview and I was seeing that y'all were talking about generations and I looked at my message and I was like this is specifically what I'm talking about. Abraham and Sarah. We see the story of those three men that came to Abraham. And we see that Sarah laughed. She didn't believe that she wouldn't have a child. >> You know, there's some times where we don't believe God for things. And we wonder why we're still stuck in it. >> We wonder why we're still stuck in that situation that God could have brought you out of five years ago. We wonder why. God, I've been in this struggle. I've been in this oppression. But why? Because you haven't looked for me. >> Why haven't you stopped me? >> And we see that Abraham gets told about his seed. And we see that God tells him, "Your seed will be as much as the sand." >> And I don't even know how much sand is in our seat. We don't know. It's approximates of billions. Okay. And I don't even know that. But God does. God does. And we see that Abraham's seed still lives on today. We still see that the that the seed has not been has been planted. It's been coming and it's been going, but the seed is still moving forward. I got to move on. I got to move forward into the promises of God. We see in Acts 2:39 where it talks about everything. It talks about how your sons and your daughters, >> they shall prophesy. >> Your old men shall dream dreams and your young men shall dream visions. >> And we see that. And if my assistants could come, I have a I have a a little demonstration of this. And I believe I believe this so powerfully. Sometimes our promises are held in this envelope. Sometimes they're encaged. They're entrapped. Sometimes we're not the ones that are going to open it. >> It's going to be God. But sometimes we don't even believe that God's going to open that promise. Sometimes we have some doubt that the enemy puts in our lives. Sometimes we have some fear that the enemy puts in our life that it says no that promise won't be open. It's going to be in cage. But I've come to tell you Souls Harbor. I've come to tell you TTF that promise is open by God and him alone. You may be seated. You may be seated.
You see, sometimes we look at that promise and sometimes we have this generation. I'm not calling my pastor old. I have respect. But our generations, >> they don't just stop here. >> It's moving on to the next generation. Okay, we've seen God move. Now he's going to duplicate it. And we see it in this generation. And now, okay, I've seen the next generation. Let's move it on. We're going to move it. We're going to receive it. Oh, God, it's duplicated. It's tripled. Now, we're going to move it on to the next generation. Oh, it went from triple to quadruple. And now we're going to move it to the next generation because, church, the promise is worth the wait. My God. >> Thank you. My assistance. You may be seated. >> Pastor Barnum, we were just talking about this morning about the baton. And Brother Crossley, when you spoke about the baton, I was thinking about it in my message and I was like, "This is God confirmed. Sometimes in our walk, it's like a race. We have every generation racing towards the mark of heaven. >> We have every denomination that we're trying to reach so they can push towards the mark. >> But sometimes it's got to start where we're going to pass it on. Sister, if you could start passing this on. Start passing it on. It starts moving. God starts changing lives. Revival starts coming. Revival starts moving. And we start seeing it over and over and over again. As God starts moving across, as God starts moving and he says, "That's right. That's right. It'll multiply. It'll multiply. Your seed, your family will break the curse. It is up to you that you break those generational curses. It is up to you that you break the seeds that were once lost. But no, I've got a God who is able to do exceedingly, abundantly, above all, I can ask or think according to his power. Come on, why don't you give God some praise? Why don't you give him some glory? We've seen our three points. There's preparation and the waiting. There's being in the promise and there's our generational promises. You see, sometimes church, we ourselves get it mixed up God's plan and God's wondering, "What are you doing? What are you doing with the plan I have in your life? Why are you disreing what I have seen in your life and what's going to happen? Why are you taking that generational promise that I'm giving to you and throwing it away? >> Sometimes we're filled with the Holy Ghost and we and we start to speak in tongues. But church, let this not just be an act. Church, let this not just be another day. Let this just never be another minute, but no, we want apostolics that are looking after the promise. We want apostolics that are saying, "God, I need you." We're looking for apostolics that say, "God, help me." Sometimes we become too overconfident in ourselves. Sometimes we see that >> the promise becomes too bearing. But we forget who gave us that promise. >> We forget who made the seas, who parted the Red Sea for the children of Israel. We forget who brought David throughout every single barrier that he went through. We forgot the God that came down to earth and sacrificed himself a living sacrifice. Church, let us not forget who created us. Church, let us not forget the promise that was worth the wait. Come on, church. Why don't you stand to your feet? Why don't we pray for a little bit longer? Come on, church. Why don't we ask God, Lord, let this promise be worth the wait? Oh God, let me have the burden. Let me have the desire that the promise is worth the wait. Come on. Why don't we pray in the Holy Ghost for a little bit? >> Oh, let's take a moment right here. Let's take a moment right here and lift up our hands. Let's thank you for the promises. Let's thank you for the visions that's been cast. Oh, we magnify, we glorify, we exalt your name together. Oh, I will say of the Lord, he is my refuge, my rock, my fortress. Oh, magnify the Lord with me. Let us exalt his name together. Come on, somebody just begin to magnify him. There's been great and precious promises preached unto us. The vision, I like when Habach said, "Write the vision and make it plain." Somebody needs to be saying, "Make it plain, pastor. Make it plain, preacher. Give us that vision. Make it plain." So grateful for the word of God that we have heard thus far. Uh again, echoing brother Hatabal. It's well worth the price that you've paid just to be here to hear these messages. But along with that, if you have registered, there's a meal prepared for you after service is over. If you haven't registered, please do so before you would try to enter into the gymnasium. So, register there. There's also merch and material out in the lobby. And uh you will be blessed to have a part of it. I get I got this nice hanky that says generations. I think I've got man, I've got like everyone for the last several years. I just use them probably more often than I should without washing them. But that's but something special about TTF sweat. You know what I'm saying? I mean, anytime I need to reach back and get one of those messages like we just heard this morning, classic TTF message. It's going to go down, Brother Crosley. That's going to go down forever. That's going to be one you got to go back and listen to that one again and again and again because in every stage, listen to me. In every stage of your life, there's going to be an old man that's going to try to enter in to try to pull something back from you. And I I'm telling you right now, it's never it's never too late to just listen to that message. Don't make any major decisions without getting a hold of God, making sure you're in the will of God. Amen. One choice, one decision. Amen.
I'm going to receive an offering. Uh if you're going to be back tonight at tonight's service, I want to say this before we receive the offering and pray over the offering. If you're coming back tonight and uh you do not have reserved seats, you probably should be here a little early because as you could tell, last night it was standing room only. And this is Friday night. It's going to be more than standing room only. I'm not even sure where we're going to be able to put everybody. Amen. But we're going to do our best to make sure everybody can get in the house and hear the word of the Lord. But come early. Uh, as we say in Florida, vote early and often. Come early. Get your seat. Amen. And make sure you're here for the word of the Lord. We're going to pray. We're asking God to bless the offering. Amen. Now, one thing I found out that can open up revival in your life, and that's a spirit of giving. If you learn how to give and especially financially, God will bless you in ways that revival is just going to open up in areas that you not you didn't even imagine in your life. So, if you were planning on giving one, I know we're on this in the house, but if you were planning on giving one, give two because the devil wants you to give one. >> I I've made it a practice in my life. I've always said, you know, if if the devil comes and tells me, you know, don't clap your hands, I clap my hands twice as loud. If he tells me, you know, don't run the aisle, I'll take two laps instead of one. I try to set a precedent. If you would just leave me alone, I'll probably only do half as much. But but if you give me the opportunity, so you're going to give five, give 10. You're going to give 10, give 20. >> Hello. Let's pray. Lord Jesus, we know your blessing is in this house. We know your power is here. We know your glory is here. We know your anointing is here. But Lord, right now is when we become participants in this where we not only give of our soul, but we begin to give of our substance, where we begin to pour into this place with a great financial blessing and a miracle. God, I believe you're going to bless each and everyone that gives into this offering. And God, we carefully give you the praise for what you're going to do in the name of Jesus.
What a God. What a God. What a God. What a God. What a God. What a God. What a God. I thought you'd show your perfection. Cuz what kind of God looks for the lost? They say he's over for his leader. Although you say no it's not. No it's not. >> But you say no it's not. No it's not. Yeah. Heat. Oh, the highest place I reach Jesus. And I've done it all. And the best thing that I've seen is your glory. Oh, I've seen it all. Your love has changed my life forever. Satisfied God. You are my everything. >> If the highest place I reaches at your feet it all. >> Then I've done it all. If the best thing that I've seen is your seen it all. Your love Heat. Heat. Heat. Yeah. Heat. Yeah. Heat. Yeah. Heat. Yeah. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Yeah. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Better is one day in your court. There is one day in your house. There is one day in your court found elsewhere. There is one day your court. There is one day your house. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Yeah. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Better is one day in your heart. Better is one day in your house. Better is one day in your thousandwhere. >> Just lift your hands all over this place. >> Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. God, you're so good. Thank you Jesus. Thank you Jesus. Thank you Jesus. Thank you Lord. God is so good.
As you make your way back toward your seats listening to such wonderful preaching that we have already heard. My goodness, Brother Huntley, what a word from the Lord. Brother Cley, just absolutely important for every every minister to hear. It's um you know, I'm looking here at just people that I love. I've got so many different friends that are older and younger. You can be seated because you're probably going to get stood up again. And you know, it's just rough to have seats right below you and you just can't sit down. It's so aggravating because you don't want to be the unspiritual one. You can sit down and speak in tongues. Just keep shouting. You keep shouting. But um I'm listening to this song. I'm thankful for the youth choir. Thank you youth choir for singing and blessing us. But I'm listening to the song they sang. And then knowing the minister that is about to come is someone that I consider a friend of mine and I am privileged to call him a friend of mine. Uh his family is wonderful. Last night we were eating and I kept looking for him. He had went back to the hotel to prepare and I finally found his wife and her family sit I'm looking for I can't find her right now. I know you're over here some. There you are. Sitting under a tent. They were the only ones there. I'm like, you just can't get away from tents for nothing, can you? Your husband brought you here. Now you're just comfortable under a tent eating. But listen to this song just betters one day. Brother Anderson does not just sing that song. He exemplifies it. He made a decision when he found Jesus. You can take this whole world, but give me Jesus. He was placed with a decision. You can have that or you can have this. And he said, I found Jesus and I don't care what anybody else says or does. He has lived his life that way. He goes around the country and he is ministering in in such a powerful way. I believe that his ministry is awakening something that is so needed in the apostolic min in circles as a whole. Every apostolic, I believe, needs to get a hold of this mentality. Whether or not you put a tent up, it's revival time. It's time to make a difference in our world. It's time to just get out of the building and to do something for Jesus Christ. Brother Anderson is a man of God on a mission. And I believe he's here with a word from the Lord. Will you clap your hands to the Lord as Brother Anderson Anderson comes to minister.
Oh, thank you, Jesus. Amen. It is such a tremendous honor to be here. We truly uh truly view this place like a second home. I was looking at my schedule. There's actually no other church we spend this much time at this year. And it is such an honor to be here with you today. I'm so excited about what God is doing in TTF. the the messages that we have heard have been revolutionary and I hope that somebody has taken notes. I hope that you'll remember to listen to these over and over again. They'll change you. They'll define the entire trajectory of your faith. And God's not done yet. What you're going to continue to hear through this weekend is really going to change your life. I'm just just an honor to be here. Thank you, Pastor Varnum and Bishop. Thank you for letting me and my family be here. Thank you to our speakers, man. So good. Didn't we enjoy that today? Brother Cley, so amazing. Brother Huntley, just thank God. Amen. And the speakers we have coming, I am so excited to hear today. Amen. While you're standing, I want you to turn with me to Jeremiah 8 and 7. And uh well, I I'm starting to say this more and more. I told my wife, I said, "I think I have a weird message, but I'm starting to say that enough that perhaps that just isn't the new normal for me." So, let's have some weird preaching today and just see what happens. Amen. Jeremiah 8 and 7. Let me make sure yet my timer is running so I won't hold you long. Jeremiah 8 and7 says, "Yay, I can't believe I'm about to preach on this. The stork. Turn to somebody next to you. Say the stork. I've established I'm a bad preacher prior, so we're good to go. Yay. The stork in the heaven knows her appointed times. And the turtle and the crane and the swallow observe the time of their coming. But my people know not the judgment of the Lord. Now, this is probably not for you. Maybe only for my kids. Let me give one quick definition. A stork is a bird. So, if you didn't know that, now you do. This particular bird is not glamorous. It is all kinds of awkward on the ground. Man, we were at Bush Gardens the last time we were in Florida. This is the dorkiest thing you ever saw walking on the ground. When it goes to take off, that thing is slow. But there is something about the stork. It is built for distance. It is built for distance. If you put your Bibles down and lift your hands to the Lord. Jesus, we love you today. I pray that God for the next few minutes that you would speak and that you would have your way. I pray that you would help me impress on somebody what you have already put in them, what you have already called them to, what you would have with them by the power of the name of Jesus. Let your kingdom come and let your will be done. Would somebody say in Jesus name and give the Lord a hand clap for praise? Oh, thank you Jesus.
As you're seated, turn to somebody and I want you to say this. The appointment of a lifetime. >> Turn to somebody else. Say, the appointment of a lifetime. Jeremiah 8:7 again says that the stork in the heaven knows her appointed time and the turtle and the crane and the swallow are observing the time of their coming. But my people know not my people know not what I see here. And I never dreamed that I would preach from this passage. But I see the Bible doing something so strange. It is trying to define something in you by something in them. >> And God chooses the stork to expose both the call and the fall in man. In this regard, the stork is made the same as you. >> Buried inside the architecture of its being is something that was placed there by God. Inside of that animal is a pull. It is a restlessness. It is an internal call to an external field. >> That bird was not designed to stay in its nest. Uh it was not designed to walk. Uh it was not designed for something small. It wasn't designed for insignificance. Uh God put something in it that is in you. I'm telling somebody today, come on. I'm trying to tell somebody today that there is an appointment written into your DNA. Before it ever broke out of its shell, it had a call from God for something more >> woven in a way that we cannot explain into every neuron in its brain. It was going to do something significant before it ever emerged. It is a symptom to this animal that scientists cannot comprehend because that instinct is not just described by anatomy. It is of divine origin. >> I read these articles about it cuz I'm a nerd and it's they they call it all these different things. They call it biologic impulse. This bird just has a biologic impulse. They call it in the most articles now, the most recent of which a migratory anxiety. But none of those words are capturing the weight of what is happening inside of the stork. >> When it is a baby, it doesn't feel it. When it's young, it doesn't feel it. Before it can fly, it can feel it. But all of a sudden at God's appointed time, >> it is like a flip is switched inside of it. And all of a sudden, the stork begins to ache for a place it has not seen. It begins to ache for a land it has never known. Inside of the DNA of that bird, there is something God designed to get restless, to get uneasy. He designed an internal tension that at the appointed time, it would wake up to a purpose that is bigger than where it's been and what it's done. a calling that is higher than its own survival today. >> It is called to the saving of its species. >> And if it doesn't get beyond just filling its belly for today into the battle for tomorrow, >> it will the species will end. What once become what's once was comfortable to the stork >> is unbearable >> for no reason. >> I'm talking to somebody that's built the very same way. >> Hey, I get it. If this ain't for everybody, you might be as comfortable as could be. Hey, man, that's all right. Somebody's got to sit in the nest. But there's going to be a time. There is going to be a time when something activates in you. It is no longer about what the church can't give me. It is no longer about my blessing and my goosebumps. It's no longer about me praying through again Sunday to Sunday. I'm not here. Come on for a performance. Coming through these summer months, these birds welcome the cold. But all of a sudden, the cold begins to agitate them. The skies themselves when they look up, there is a there is a magnetic draw to take flight. And then with no conceivable way that we could put on paper how it works. They have no map. They have no experience. They have no education. They have no compass. They have no cheering. They have no rehearsal. They have no reward. They will just rise into the wind and begin to work for a vision they have never seen. Turn to somebody next to you. Say, "That is in you." >> Turn to somebody, say, "That is in you." >> I'm not going to name these species, they sound funny, but this particular species of stor will fly nonstop for over 7,000 miles without landing. 7,000 miles without landing. It does not eat. It does not sleep. Its body will literally consume its own organs for fuel because there is a call that is bigger than itself. There is a call bigger than comfortable on your life. There is a call bigger than money on your life. Uh there's a call bigger than popularity on your life. This thing is not about self-preservation. It's not about how much I can get or who can follow. This other breed is documented flying 12,000 miles in a single migratory year. And many will die in their attempt to migrate. But if they don't fly, then they all die. >> Why in the world? Because hidden in the stork is an appointment from God. >> And the only hope the species has for survival is if the individuals within it will heed the call of the creator. I'm telling you, the only hope for humanity is the call that is sitting in this room right now. We don't win Florida without you. We don't win the Souththeast without you. We don't win America without you. We don't win the world without you. The stork feels it as basic and as essential as the drive to eat when it emergs from the shell. At that appointed moment, it feels it like any other urge, like any other call, like any other thing wrapped into the fiber of its being. So that stork offers no resistance, no debate, >> no procrastination. >> It will extend its wings and it will hear and follow the call of God. The stork knows her appointment. But then by terrifying contrast, God asks you to look yourself in the mirror and he says, "But my people know not." And all of a sudden, the story becomes a startling picture of our resistance, of our procrastination, of all of our caveats to following the call of God. The bird knows and the crane knows and the swallow knows and the turtle knows. But in the same way that he knit a higher purpose into their anatomy, he wo a mission into your soul. And he's saying you can miss it. >> In the most sobering of terms, I wish you to know that there is an appointment for your life. There is a purpose beyond what you see at face value. He didn't save you to sit on a church pew and feel goosebumps once a week. Uh there is an appointment uh of a lifetime on you. Uh something so much bigger, so much higher. There are souls that weigh in the balance. There are generations that weigh in the balance. And as I was preparing for this, I began to wonder, how many of you are here today? How many of you registered for this this very week uh because you feel something stirring inside of you that you can't fully explain? You feel unrest. You feel a pull. You feel a burden. You feel a direction. You feel a lack of fulfillment. Uh there's emptiness in everything else that you touch. You're I'm telling somebody, it's because you're made like that stoic. Something in you is trying to wake up. Something in you is trying to follow the call. The longer that you try to satisfy the migratory spirit with stationary living, the more unfulfilled you will be. >> Money will not replace the call. Degrees won't replace the call. >> Popularity won't replace the call. >> Man, I don't know what that bird's favorite food is. I'm telling you, you could mound it to the heavens and it will still look at the sky with longing. Cuz God didn't just call you to graze here. There's a higher purpose for you. Somebody in this place, what used to be comfortable for you is getting convicting. >> You know you're called to more. >> Somebody in this place is something in your soul that is screaming. You're not made to sit there. You're not made to stay there. You're not made to be silent, my friend. It's not an accident. It's an appointment. It's an appointment. I think what God has put on you is not some trivial emotion. I'm not after your enthusiasm. I'm not just trying to inspire you because we're in a group of people cheering for this. I'm after how you feel and how you act and how you live and how you give and what you do on Monday and Tuesday and I'm after you five years from now 10 years talking about an appointment of a lifetime. I need you to know that God is the one that put this in the stork. Job 39 and 26 speaking to man he asks the question does the hawk fly by thy meaning man's does the hawk fly by thy wisdom and stretch her wings towards the south no my friend we don't put that call in them only God does that uneasiness in you that burden in you that call in you don't you dare think that a pastor put it there or a song put it there or a youth group put it there. That is the call of God on your life and therefore you ought to do something for it. Uh you ought to work for it and give towards it and sacrifice for it. Let it be the guiding call of your life. Uh let it be your priority. Let it be what you think about and obsess over. Isaiah 46 and 11. Calling a ravenous bird. That's a bird of prey. Calling a ravenous bird from the east. The man that executes my counsel from a far country. Yay, I have spoken it and I will bring it to pass. I have purposed it and I will also do it. This thing God has put in you if you'll follow it. Uh you're going to see things uh that no sports celebrity ever did. Uh you're going to see things uh that no singer ever can. Uh you're going to see things that the doctors don't. Uh you're going to see things that the rich don't. Uh that call is not of you. Uh it is of him. God is in it. and he's going to do something with it. I think that this will be the appointment of a lifetime if you'll let it. I'm not talking about a hobby. I'm not talking about a portion of your life. Uh I'm talking about the preoccupation of everything you will ever do. It will be your highest ambition. It will be your divine obsession. It will be the reason you give God holy and completely my entire sacrificed life. Lord, you take it all. You write my future. You tell me where to go. You tell me what to do. John 4:4 and he must needs go through Samaria >> unavoidable he must needs go through Samaria Luke 19 and5 Zakius make haste today I must abide at the house inescapable burden there is nowhere else I can go Zakius I have to go to your house Luke 2 and4 49. I must be about my father's business. Come on. My purpose is bigger than anything else. Give me the father's business. Give me the kingdom. Give me souls. John 9 and4. I must work the works of him that sent me. I must work the works of him that sent me. It's a fixed priority. I don't have any other option. I am a slave to the call of God. >> 1 Corinthians 9:16, "Woe is unto me if I preach not the gospel. I don't know what would become of me. I don't even want to see it." Come on. Woe unto me if I even tried anything else. I'm going tell somebody, before this, I had other interests. It's weird how this can replace them like that. The kingdom of God will replace the kingdom of you like that. It'll replace a love for money. It'll replace a love for sin. It'll replace a love for self. Oh, I'm talking about the appointment of a lifetime. They would even write in Acts 20 and 22, "And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem." >> Amen. I'm all for the chains falling off, but actually I have yolked myself again. I'm not entirely untethered. I am bound in the spirit. Uh I go where he says I do what he says. I live how he says. I give when he says. I work when he says. I win souls when he says. I don't need to like it. Uh I don't need to have goosebumps. Uh I don't need any of you watching or cheering or applauding. I am bound in the spirit with a call from God. Why in the world would they speak like this and write like this? Because when you got the spirit, God appointed your life a higher purpose. Uh you do not exist to eat uh and drink and be merry. Your life is not about weddings and birthdays and funerals. The goal of God for you is not homes and cars. It's not even children and white picket fences. I pray you have them all, but at the end of the day, you were endued with power from on high that you might be a witness. I may or may not be rich, but I am a witness. I may or may not be popular, but I am a witness. I may have much. I may have little. I may live long. I may live short, but I am a witness. Ye shall be witnesses unto me. >> The day you got the Holy Ghost, it started. >> A whisper in your spirit. >> You're a witness. You're a witness. You're a witness. That was the day. Something was born in you. You're born into the kingdom, but something was born in you. An appointment got whispered into your spirit. This
Thing's no longer about you. It's no longer about what I can even forgive. Now I'm charging you. I am calling you. I am appointing you a witness to the lost.
I don't think you would be here if you've not heard it. I don't think you'd have sat yourself on this seat if something in you hasn't been tugging and screaming if you didn't feel that anxiety. There has got to be more in this life. Uh the Lord has called me to do more, to go higher, to press deeper, to win somebody. All right. I hope we can be friends through this next part. But I I did want to have a brief moment. I speak plainly. You will never be fulfilled any other way.
You may wonder if you would. You may be sitting there wondering if I ever had x amount of money. If I ever got to marry this person, if I ever got to have this title, wouldn't it be enough? If I ever got to be so popular, if I whatever it is, but I need you to know that this calling can never be fulfilled with anything less than obedience. I wrestled with this next sentence. Uh you can if you want you can prostitute that gifting for personal gain. You'll never be fulfilled.
Some of the greatest soul winners on the planet called and designed by God exited soulwinning for sales. And they're rich as I'll get out. But they hit their head every night knowing they were called to something more. They can't put their finger on why, but every car feels empty. Every home feels worthless. Come on, somebody. I'd rather follow the call. I've seen the most charismatic of personalities, electric and lovable people use it all for self gain. They would have made an upset in the kingdom of hell if they would have applied it to the kingdom of God. At the end of the day, my friend, you were not made to use some of these things that we use for ourselves. God designed you like he did that stork. From the day it was born, it was designed for a purpose. I'm telling you, from the day you were born, you were designed for a purpose. We're not kidding when we say there are pastors in the making sitting in this room right now. We're not kidding when we say there are evangelists sitting in this room right now. We're not kidding when we say there are missionaries in this room right now. I wish somebody would lean into that call. I'll tell you from firsthand experience. Nothing will satisfy till you follow the appointment of God. You're never going to feel fulfilled uh till you're baptizing people in the name of Jesus. Uh you're never going to feel fulfilled uh till you're laying hands on the sick and they recover. You're never going to feel fulfilled uh till you're praying with everybody you can, seeing God fill them with the Holy Ghost. I wish you would take the gospel to the ends of the earth. You're a witness before you're anything else. You're a witness before you're a singer. You're a witness before you're a giver. Come on. You're a witness before you're holy. The first call. The first call. God, make me a witness. Oh.
Oh. Come on. Holy Ghost. All right, let me try and make a just a couple more statements here. I I'm going to try and not hype you up yet. Man, I just picturing this animal. I kind I like animals a little bit. Not as much as Pastor Varnum. He had an emu. It's weird, man. This is a good TTF. Sorry, I won't be back. Uh, okay. And I am just picturing if I could stand behind this bird and it couldn't see me and I didn't spook it off. I would love to see that moment right before it crouches its knees, it opens its wings, and it's by virtue of flight saying, "I am done with where I've been." It's go time, man. And I would love if TTF 2026 that a young person that says, "Man, I am just done. I am done living at status quo. I am done at average. I am done being ineffective. I'm done not doing anything for God. I'm done being unconsecrated." Come on. It's go time now. I wish to call you to duty today to enlist you in the Lord's service to demand of you a level of sacrifice that is beyond a trivial hype shoutout moment.
There's nothing glamorous about what this dude is about to face. Thousands of miles. Thousands of miles with no choir singing, no lights, no show, no applause. You and the wind. You and the rain. You and every storm, you in the night. You in the day. No. What I'm asking you for, I want you to hear upfront. More often than not, will lack glamour, will lack applause, will lack res uh will lack recognition, and it will lack renumeration. More often than not, this is you and your best friend named sacrifice. If I could tell you my honest ministry, it just represents an insane body of work that no man ever task me with, no man ever applauds, no man even knows. I would argue if you follow this call, when you get off that ledge in a short order, nothing of you will remain from what once started on that ledge. It will demand a radical change of your lifestyle. It'll change what's in your bank account. It'll change how you pray. It'll change how you fast. Nothing of you will remain. It will take your youth. It will take your strength. It will take your pride. It will take hours and days. It will leave you scratching your head at points and discouraged. Can I Is it okay to be real? The STRs aren't signing up for any of that. And many of them will just die trying. You will go broke trying. You will lose friends trying. You will have to walk away from jobs trying. You will leave careers trying. You will leave comfort trying. I'm not trying to soften this. Let me double down. So die already. Get over that idea and die already. You cannot protect a life that God designed you to sacrifice. It is better to die out for Christ than it is to live for self.
There is no stor on top of a mountain with the storms coming in at its tail. With the snow coming in at its tail, with the hails coming in at its tail, looking towards a promise over the horizon that is standing perched up on the mountain, negotiating with the wind for a better day. Telling the storm, "If you give me a title, then I would." telling the storm. If I had this or I had that, if I was more wealthy, if more were behind me, if it was easier, if it was more comfortable. No, there is just an alarm clock wired in its soul. You were born for this moment. Now fly. I wish you got that in your spirit. What you're feeling is the divine alarm clock and it's saying just fly. You don't have what you wish you had. You're not as smart as you wish you were. Come on. You might not even have a title. Just fly. Come on. Just fly. I'm talking about the idea of duty like my reality is I don't feel spiritual when I engage in migration. Most soulwinning doesn't feel spiritual. I'm trying to save a species. Who cares how I feel when I wake up that day? I have a call on my life. There's somebody in this place. Come on. I'm telling you, I'm not going to be able to goosebump your way to longevity in this. I'm trying to teach you duty. God wired you for it. When you feel it, when you don't, when you're rich, when you're poor, when you're sick, when you're well, he wired you for it in a big city and a little city. He wired you for it when nobody is applauding you. He wired you for it when you're doing it alone. You are designed with a call on your life. That stoic is just obeying an instinct that was written into them at creation. You are supposed to obey something that was written into you when you receive the spirit. Paul, I don't believe he traveled because he liked the roads. I certainly don't believe he traveled because he liked the shipwrecks. I believe he traveled because there was something in him that would not let him sit there when somebody out there is still lost. So then it justifies the roads and it justifies the shipwreck and justifies the jail cell and justifies the uncomfort, justifies the poverty. My friend, you are a witness now. Let me tell you three quick things you need to know about the called. Somebody say the called.
Number one, it is not from the weather. It is internal. Now, I I literally looked this up. Inside of these animals, I didn't know this. They have like a rhythm in their biology. I'm omitting the large words. And it causes them to start desiring migration. It usually precedes the weather change. Uh when the food is abundant, they eat their calories and take flight and then the weather changes behind them. They said this that migratory anxiety happens even in a closed lab condition where light and food and temperature do not change. I'm telling you, if you have a call, you don't need all the right variables to do something with it. If you have a call, you don't need somebody pushing on you. You don't need somebody paying you. Uh you don't need somebody applauding you. You don't need a roll. You don't need a stage. You don't need a following. You say, "I'll go anyways. I'll go before anybody else does."
Number two, let me tell you somebody with a call. They can awaken the birds that missed it. I'm reading this today. Some birds are love this word broken. That's apostolic. Don't follow the call. Broken. Some birds are broken and they show signs that they would have missed the migration. But when they do see their peers take flight, if everything else in them failed to fly, then they'll take to the air. They all So, so the one that flies first can offer the broken a shared intensity and direction and synchronization. just one first bird's movement. And that anxiety can ripple through a flock and trigger others to begin to fly. When you've got a call, come on. When you've got a call, hear me. I need somebody to hear me. You may start alone, but you're never going to finish that way because there are movement makers in the room. Come on. God may only be able to activate a handful of you at the beginning, but just watch. You're not going to finish this thing alone. Your youth group will become electrified. Your church will get electrified. Your city will turn upside down. I'm talking about the appointment of a lifetime.
Last thing I'll tell you that triggers will accelerate the cold. When the weather does change, when the snow does fall, when the food does dry up, they lose their minds. And likewise, I would say those with the call, we'll start when nothing is shaking, nothing is moving, nobody is with us. But when they are, I said, but when they are, when revival starts to break, man, we lose our minds. This is a self-perpetuating upwards obsession. You don't baptize one and say that was good enough. You say give me a hundred. Come on somebody. You don't pray through one and say that was good enough. Give me a thousand. Come on Jesus. If you can reach them through a Bible study, give me 50. If I can reach them in a van, let's fill it up. Come on, somebody. Jeremiah doesn't write it as an encouragement alone. It's an indictment. Jeremiah 8:7. Yeah. The stork in the heaven knows her appointed time. But my people know not. My people know not. It's not written. So we pity the stork that it has to fly miles. that it has to migrate through the storms. It is written to showcase the tragedy of a man that felt the call and did nothing to follow it. Saying that the birds obey their instinct better than you obey conviction. Always wanting another word, another confirmation, more finance, more comfort, more ease, more fleeces, more followers. And God is saying just follow the call. Just follow the call. You can feel a call, but leave hell full. Not me, my friend. Come on. Not you, my friend. We're going to follow the call.
All right, let me just give you my last point here is that you can I perceive buried in this a statement of urgency as well. You can miss this. Uh you can miss this. The language it used is appointed time. Appointed time. You know we have a word for delayed migration. It's death. And at some point if you table what you feel in this room long enough. That part of your spirit will die. It won't be there when you go to pick it up. After you're rich, after you're graduated, after you're married, after you're promoted, my friend, you've got to put this kingdom first. Now, I wish for you to be rich and promoted and married. But that is not to the exclusion of the kingdom of God. Don't let your appointed time die. Don't let your calling die. That stork does not have the privilege of migrating whenever it felt inspired. Migrating whenever every variable was right and the wind was at its tail. There is an appointed time that it is simply designed to take flight. You don't need the goosebumps or the variables. Somebody needs a burden right now. You don't need to wait. You need to do something now. I'm telling you, don't procrastinate this. Don't excuse this. Don't sit on this. This is the appointment of a lifetime for somebody in this room. I think this call is not perhaps going to inspire you as much as you would wish. Maybe a better word is it will disturb you. That's right. Every other color becomes paler when you have a call of God on your life. Every other hobby becomes so much more insignificant than seeing somebody born again of the water and of the spirit. Every other priority you used to have so much more unimportant. I'm telling somebody, it will ruin your ability to live small. It will ruin your ability to stay where you are. It will ruin your ability to do nothing and talk to nobody. Baptize nobody. This will get under your skin and change how you think. Uh it'll change how you dream. It'll change how you pray. Everything will shift.
But today we're not talking about stors. We're talking about souls. And they die when we delay. Man, there's an appointment on you and it's going to save a city. It's going to save a region. It's going to save a country that you've never even set foot in. Faces you've never seen. Stories you've never heard. Generations you never knew would be born. Way in the balance of you taking flight right now. Of you deciding, I'm done with the level I've been at. And I'm going after the call of God in my life. Uh I don't need another word. I don't need another confirmation. I am resolving this right now. God first, me second. His kingdom not mine. His will not mine. Come on. Come on. Come on. I'm not trying to preach. I'm trying to recruit. I'm trying to recruit. Uh God didn't fill you to sit there. He needs somebody that'll answer the call. Give your life to this. Come on. Give your life to this. Give your accounts to this. Give your time to this. Give your energy to this. Uh give your ambitions to this. Give your dreams to this. Come on. Come on. Lift your voice. Come on. Let me make this clear. I want again. Man, I'm thankful. Man, I am thankful for the passion in this room, but man, I'm I'm kind of kind of coming for an intellectual decision right now. I need you to resolve this thing once and for all. Who's on that throne, man? Who's on that throne of your life? Who governs where you go? Who governs what job you get? Who governs what city you go to? Who governs your Monday? Who governs if you knock a door? Come on. We got to get off the throne and give it to Jesus.
Here's what I'm after. After three types of people. And if you don't feel that tug, ignore me. That's fine. Because I know there's a clock on you, too. And that light switch is going to flip at some point to where you get dissatisfied. But I'm after those of you right now that are feeling that internal agony I'm preaching about. You know what it feels like to sit on top of that mountain and know you're supposed to move. Yes. You don't know where you're going. You don't know how to do it. You never taught a Bible study, never won a soul, never prayed anybody through, but you know you can't stay there. I'm after you. I think that would be three groups.
Number one, there are some of you in this room that have never said yes to the call. You know God's got a call on your life. And if you didn't before this service, I brought it right to the front of your spirit. I'm asking you to say yes. And I'm asking you to say yes now. I'm asking you to say yes right now. Don't wrestle it with it. Don't think about it. I don't know your story and I don't care. I believe in your call. Even if you don't, even if your parents don't, even if your friends don't. You might think you're the worst Christian in your church. Man, I don't know that backstory and I don't care. I just need you to take flight.
Number two, there are some of you that have said yes, but not today. man, you don't know how, but you got stuck in a holding pattern and you're just circling. You said, "God, I'm going to do something with my life." And then you didn't. God, I'll say yes. But then I didn't. I didn't begin. It never changed my Monday. Come on. What I said I'd do on Sunday didn't actually change my Monday and my Tuesday and my It didn't change how I go to college. It didn't change what I do at high school. Doesn't change how I pray. It doesn't change if I actually read the word. It doesn't cause me to fast. Come on. It's all right. We're going to take flight together. I don't care how long you've been in waiting, man. We can do this thing together. I don't care how long you It's been since you said yes. If you've been stagnant, I'm telling you, just like anybody else, you can crouch down. You can lift those wings. And this thing is different tomorrow than it was yesterday.
And number three, there are some of you, and this is just between you and Jesus, that you did answer the call and you got off course. You got way off course. Man, that's all right, too. You can lock back in with us. I think this is something that God put in the church. You're designed to be a part of it. I don't care how much of the periphery you've ended up on. I want to give you invitation back into the pack right now. I think it's the will of God that this room turns this world upside down. Let's forget about the backstory. Let's forget about the excuses and let's do this thing together. So, I'm going to ask you to come right now. I'm going to ask you to get up out of your seat right now. If you're in one of those groups, I want you to resolve to do something with what you feel. Come on. The worst thing you can do is feel what I'm saying and leave unchanged and leave unresolved and leave undecided. Come on. Generations are waiting for a preacher that will go. Come on. God needs another labor. He needs another witness. Come on, somebody. Would you lift your hands? Come on, somebody. Would you lift your hands? I'm not staying where I was. I'm not staying as I've been. I'll go. I'll go. I'll give. I'll work. I'll win them. I'll go. Come on, somebody. Come on. Come on. Come on. I need you to resolve it now. Get out of the valley of indecision right now. This life is yours. Every moment is yours. Every plan is yours. Every ambition is yours. My time, my effort, my finance, my plans, they are yours. Come on. Come on. I can feel you. I can feel your holy discontentment. You know you were made for more. You know you were designed for this. Uh come on world changers. Lift your hands. Lift your voice and go. Come on. This you have an appointment on you. Come on. I need you to pray till you don't care about anything else. I need you to pray till you don't care about pride anymore. I need you to pray till you don't care about money anymore. I need you to pray till you don't care where you go. You don't care what you do. La. Oh. Come on, somebody. Hear the call. Hear the call. Hear it from the Lord. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Come on. Come on. That's it. Pay attention to what the Holy Ghost is doing. Come on. That's it. Stop wrestling. Say, "Yes, I didn't put that on you." He did. Your pastor didn't put that in you. He did. A song didn't inspire you. He did. Hear the call. Hear the call. hear the call. With his hands on his face, that's Come on now. Reach over. Pray for somebody beside you. Come on. We're in this thing together. I Come on, reach over. Come on. World changer. I pray anointing on you. I pray the call gets louder in you. We're in this together. Oh, no. Heat. Heat. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. Why don't you lift your hands one more time and just thank the Lord for working in this place? Maybe one more time, just make that commitment. Lord, just use me. Lord, just use me. Use my hands. Use my feet. Lord, use me, Jesus, for your glory. Use my children, my family, God. Get the glory out of my life in the name of Jesus. Oh yes, Lord. I love seeing all these children in this altar. Let me tell you kids, you're not too young to go ahead and tell Jesus, I want to be used by you. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Lay your hands on some of these children and pre-teens. And I want you just to lay your hands on them. God, keep them from the mess of this world. Keep them from the pollution of this world. If there's some children, pre-teen, young teenagers, God, don't let them get wooed by this world. Let them want to work for Jesus. Hallelujah. Take this whole world, but give me Jesus. Take this whole world, but give me Jesus. Hallelujah. Use them, Lord. Use them, Lord. Use them for your glory. Use them for your kingdom. Hallelujah. That's beautiful. Thank you, Jesus. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Thank you, Jesus. We don't want to stop the spirit of prayer that is here. If you would like to continue to pray in this altar, please do so. We don't want to have conversations in the altar space, but the uh lunch team is ready for the registered ministers in the gymnasium now. So, as you are finished praying, please go ahead and make your way over to the gymnasium. service tonight is at 7:30 p.m. It was already mentioned, but you're going to want to get here early, not just to get a good seat, but to create an atmosphere of prayer and expectation for what the Lord wants to do in Jesus name. Brother Huntley has some books in the lobby as well. Let's see what the Lord will do tonight. God bless you. You're dismissed in Jesus name.
