(Clip) Holding the Ground For Revival

On this one Because whatever happened to holiness It's not a weird thing holiness is coming out from among them being separate I look different What I watch is different how I conduct myself is different I want to be filled with the Spirit of God not fill with the things of the world. So I live differently I'm holy and set apart for God's glory. So God says I see a broken vessel. I see a humble vessel I see a man set apart for my glory. I see him working on holiness not perfection, but I see his heart's in the right direction He's holy set apart for me But people often say and they tell me this but I haven't done anything wrong Well, I can assure you you have not done everything, right? Just saying that statement is full of pride I Like what Dan you said yesterday that really impacted me you said be careful because An hour or two spent with God can be erased in ten minutes of watching the wrong thing on TV It's funny when I talk about these things people get rat that he's radical he's radical extreme I write locally for our paper often and Victorville paper and articles and Christian post and charisma news and hello Christian and and I wrote one locally a few years ago It just I could not believe the backlash It was something like darkness should not entertain the church and I talked about witchcraft Harry Potter movies Darkness casting spells and all these things that should not entertain the church We should not be watching these things and enjoying these things allowing our kids to watch it. That's dark. That's demonic Who do you think came after me? Christians You're legalistic, no, I just want to fill the Spirit of God, that's what I want. I want the presence of God Himself or I don't want to have anything to do with religion. Was that toes or I don't know But that's what we with is that desperation. Yes. I'm gonna look different. I'm gonna be odd Because that's what holiness involves you look different. That's the point That's the whole point There's a sweet smelling aroma of Christ on you because you look different There's a difference. There's a distinction. That's why Paul told the church come out from among them and what be Separate be set apart now I can use you So there's a cost there has to holiness has to be a focus And I use the interesting word here on the cost of holding Holding let me explain that for a minute. I believe in any revival personal revival corporate revival There is a season of testing Having done all stand stand Hold and that's what we're doing our culture. God just says you hold hold hold the line. Hold it. Hold it I know you don't see me moving and you're weeping in the morning praying. I know but hold it hold the four down Leonard Ravenhill said we want a painless Pentecost. I Don't want ten days in the upper room. I want ten minutes and let the fire fall God says no, I want to test your heart Will you wait one day or two days or three days even if you don't see me moving? Do you trust me because having done all stand? Therefore stand therefore and fight the good fight of faith. I haven't called you to leave the battle I haven't called you to trust your feelings. I've called you to trust in Almighty God. That is our only hope You have to hold the ground Hold it. Hold it. Hold it That's why the pulpit king pulpits can say gay marriage. Not. Okay. I don't care what the Supreme Court says You hold the ground that's what's happening the churches are not holding the ground
