But you see, there's a scripture that says, I will raise up watchmen, and if you see a storm coming, and you won't warn the people, the blood's on your hands. I don't want any blood on my hands. And there are some of you that have to make the same decision.
God's speaking to you. And God wants you to make a clear stand. And you who are not in the ministry, watch out.
Now let me give you the good news. When you get to the end of 16th chapter, of the prophet Ezekiel, in the midst of all of this warning, the Spirit of God comes on the prophet Ezekiel. He said, in the midst of all of this, there's going to be a people who turn away from all apostasy.
He said, I will cause you to turn away from the harlotry. And this is what the prophet is saying. And this is the message I really bring to you now.
In the midst of all the things that are coming, I can't begin to describe to you what I see coming. But in the midst of all of this, the Lord said, I'm going to have a people. And I'm going to move by the Spirit in their hearts.
I'm going to call them out of the Spirit of this era. And I will cause them. He said, I will cause them.
I will do it by my Spirit. I will turn you away from all the idolatry. And I will raise up a remnant who know my name, who are immovable, and who will accept the Spirit of this age.
And God will anoint you to turn away from all these voices that call you to the flesh. And the Spirit will bring you into the fullness and make you unafraid. Take all fear out of your heart.
He's going to have a humble people, a broken people, a people who are not moved, immovable, anchored in this Bible, anchored in this Bible. Nobody can move you. Pastor, make up your mind.
And ask the Holy Spirit to give you the courage. I will not compromise. I will not cheat people in the Gospel.
I don't care what it costs me. I will preach the full Gospel of Jesus. Do you understand? Spirit of God, come.
Confirm your word now. Awaken us. Awaken us in this hour.
Raise up prophets. Raise up watchmen. God, open your word.
The revelation of truth. Let no apostasy take over the church. Awaken the Pentecostals.
The Baptists. The Presbyterians. The Episcopals.
The Catholics. Wake them up. You're coming, Jesus.
Wake us up. Hallelujah.
