Opening night in the Clear Span TENT!!!
David T: This isn’t about a man. This isn’t about a worship leader. This isn’t about a building. It’s about Jesus Christ.
We’re in the tent of meeting tonight. I know we’ve all come for different reasons. Some need a healing. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled.
We are here tonight because one Man in history decided to obey God, His Father, and died on a cross so we could live. Give two people a high five. Jesus is in the building tonight.
Todd: A.A. Allen, Oral Roberts, Jack Coe, William Branham had revivals in tents just like this. We’re going to dedicate tonight with healing signs and wonders. There is another healing revival coming and its here.
Jack Coe: Everyone had been text messaging me to watch GodTV and I don’t even have GodTV. The Lord spoke to me and He said the drought is over. The Bible says if you will decree a thing it will be done.
I was lying in bed with a diseased liver, kidneys, and colon. The doctors gave me six to eight months to live. Jesus came and He spoke to me, “I will raise you back up for the end time revival.”
My Daddy would break people’s crutches before he prayed for them. In Tampa, they tried to shut my Daddy down. Curtis Hickson, the Mayor, ordered that the roads be blocked to the revival. So people would park their cars and walk to the tent.
In Miami they put my dad in jail for ‘practicing medicine without a license.’ He said to me once, “Look out over the Big Dipper. That’s going to be the outpouring that will come later on.” There will be a greater glory than what took place in that era.
Todd: I would like you to pray for the gift of faith.
Jack: In Jesus’ name. I release it! I release it! I release it! You are going to minister your healing anointing. Right now! Right now! Right now! I’m decreeing it. I hear the sound of ABUNDANCE. I hear it in the spirit realm.
Todd: In the sixth chapter of the Gospel of Luke, verse 19 it says “. . . for power went out from Him and healed them all.”
God, that’s what we need tonight, that Your power will heal every sickness, every disease. Come, Holy Spirit. The gift of faith will be released tonight. I command that the healing anointing be released right now in the name of Jesus. I want to see this healing anointing come on the body of Christ.
If every person will lift up their voice and call out to Jesus you will be healed. I don’t need to deal with all of the roots of sickness. The power of Christ in you will begin to regenerate organs. Your healing is here right now. Begin to mov. I’m telling you there are creative miracles in this place.
We want to see the same glory we saw at Ignited Church, in Auburndale, in the stadium, in the open field and in the convention center.
I want tonight to be the night of creative, notable and unusual miracles in the name of Jesus. I’m taking authority over disease, over illness. Sometimes when you move in faith that’s when the anointing kicks in. I’m telling you right now if you will believe God you will be healed.
Lord, I present my body, this physical body, as a temple to You. I present it as a living sacrifice. Holy Spirit, come into my body and heal all my diseases. The healing anointing, the power of the Lord, is present to heal in the name of Jesus.
TESTIMONIES:
Kim: I never went to the doctor. I believed the Lord would heal me. I could not lift my arms for 10 years. I felt fire on my shoulder and now I can lift my arms over my head.
Interviewer: Five years ago she broke her neck.
Todd: Did you have any arthritis? Could you move your neck?
Lady: I felt heat and fire. I felt a tingling. All of the pain is gone.
Todd: There is still a realm we haven’t broken through. We’ve only hit 60%. We’re going to pray for 6,000 people plus tonight. I feel like somebody is watching me who is on their deathbed is being healed.
Shabbat: I had a left deaf ear since I was 5 or 6. I had a hole in my eardrum. When I prayed for my friend’s knees they were healed and my left deaf ear opened.
Samantha (NC): Ears had 90% hearing loss for 18 years. My ears just popped open.
Todd: I felt an unusual, reckless boldness. You need to get aggressive against your sickness.
Interviewer: He’s had osteoarthritis for 10 years. The pain has been getting worse. He felt the presence of God when you called it out.
Man: I’ve had three surgeries on my left knee. I had to retire from the sheriff’s office. I came tonight and said, “Lord you’ve got to be specific.”
Todd: “I actually saw someone get a kneecap.”
Man: I can run all over the place.
Interviewer: Rachel has 90% hearing loss in one ear and 70% hearing loss in the other ear. Here are both of her hearing aids.
Rachel: Tonight I felt a lot of pressure in my ear. I have a prosthetic eardrum. During my second surgery they scraped the bone to make them vibrate.
Todd: I heard the Lord tell me someone’s getting a new eardrum. I think Jesus just gave you a new eardrum.
Jan: An MRI revealed that I had thoracic cancer of the spine. I saw lesions. My pastor prayed for me. When I had a bone scan I saw that I had been healed. I still have problems with a pinched nerve in my neck. I couldn’t move my neck. Bam!
I came tonight to see if anything would happen. My son has had to wear glasses since he was six. He can see clearly now.
Kathleen: I had celiac disease. My stomach would swell to three times its normal size. I couldn’t eat wheat, rye or barley. I felt heat and I went outside and bought a hamburger.
Lady: I could not make a fist with my hand. I had surgery in October and the surgeon put metal in my hand. Since that time I have not been able to make a fist. I play the guitar and I want my full range of motion back.
Lady: I’ve had four surgeries in the left eye. My pastor prayed over my eye. My eye was straight.
Todd: As soon as I spoke the Word – she screamed – and her eye was healed.
Lady: I was six years old. I wore a patch over my eye. I couldn’t watch TV or go out into the sunlight.
Todd: We didn’t even lay hands on her.
Mercy (CA): Deaf ear. With all of this noise I couldn’t hear anything. Now I can hear everything. I love it! My pastor’s wife prayed for me.
Noah: I had 60% hearing loss. I could feel my ear was really hot and I felt it pop open and I could hear.
Kristy: I have a herniated disc and when I was dancing earlier it was hurting. Now the pain is gone.
Carlos: I had a crushed, messed up ankle. I had it in a cast. I have been watching the revival for 54 days because I couldn’t get out of bed. You said to get out of bed. So I took off my cast and got out of bed.
Todd: Then you got out of bed?
Carlos: Sure, I did. My back was fused. It came undone. I’ve had 46 surgeries. When we were worshipping I just felt a peace.
Todd: This is an outstanding miracle. You have not run for eight years?
Carlos: I could barely walk from the parking lot. I was in a handicapped parking space. Now I can run.
Marjorie: I had lymphoma. The doctors only gave me two years left to live. I said, “I rebuke those words.”
Eight-year-old girl: When I was three I fell out of a window. I was watching you on GodTV. I had headaches and pain. Now they are gone.
Todd shares THE SPIRIT OF REVIVAL
I’m so hungry for the power of God. I got something from the Lord today about the SPIRIT OF REVIVAL. I believe people are going to receive the manifest presence of God so every time you pray you will feel His presence.
The Lord started speaking to me about pressing in. We cannot be satisfied. We can prepare the atmosphere when we ask for the Holy Spirit. When we ask for the Holy Spirit we’ll get the Holy Spirit. When we ask for miracles we’ll get miracles. It’s going to be easy.
Take it to the Next Level
I want you to open your Bibles to Luke chapter 16. We can call this message: TAKING IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL.
Father, I pray for another Holy Ghost Pentecost.
When the Gospel of the Kingdom is preached there is an expected response. Most people I know don’t know how to break through. I’ve learned some things about pressing in. Sometimes the Kingdom of God does not come because there is no pressing in to it.
The fact that you press in means you are seeking. God, You are my God. Early will I seek You. Seek ye first the Kingdom. Blessed are they that are hungry.
You must get hungry!!!
If that means that I have to rearrange my schedule, my life then I will. I’m talking about earnest prayer. The Kingdom of God is near. Commit. There are sacrifices to be made. That implies earnest desire, seeking never gives up.
The word implies keep on pressing in. The word pressing in implies never give up. Kingdom of God does not come without force. That tells me there will be demonic opposition.
I feel the realm of favor, the anointing, the glory. It’s breaking out, it’s raw, it’s fresh. The prophet called me up and said, “The Lord has called me to be your watchman. I’m watching what the enemy is up to. You don’t have to worry. You’ve already got the breakthrough.”
You want to penetrate the darkness? How do you think the disciples turned Jerusalem and Rome upside down? They were passionate. We’re talking about a burning heart, a burning lamp.
We can’t press in without power, passion and conviction.
Pursue the Kingdom of God
There are four things we need to do to in pursuit of the Kingdom of God:
1) Seek / Be earnest in your seeking.
2) Battle / Confront the powers of darkness.
3) Burning heart for Jesus
4) Passion / The fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.
How many want something to happen when you pray?
I get results because I work. I just keep pressing in. If I have to pray for 20 minutes for a deaf ear to open, I’ll pray for 20 minutes.
In verse 24 it says, “A certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man and mighty in the Scriptures . . . “
Don’t tell me he had zeal without knowledge. This man was mighty in the Scriptures. The Bible said they could not resist the Word that Stephan spoke. He was fervent in spirit. He spoke and taught accurately.
In verse 28 the man vigorously refuted the Jews. I’ll tell you what I love. I love fervent theology.
Be Fervent in Spirit of Prophecy
Fervent means commanding, convicting and convincing. It means showing great emotion. I’ve never met a passionless lover. I know when one of my team is in love because they can talk for 10 hours about nothing. When my wife and I first fell in love, my phone was glued to my ear.
Fervent means to be fiery hot, to seethe, to be impassioned, to be intense in spirit, to bubble over, to hiss, to be hot and glowing like a volcano erupting.
I can’t imagine talking nice to the devil. I know it’s not in the volume; it’s being diligently devoted, motivated and vigilant to the Lord. It’s the only way to receive answers to your prayers.
There are evil men who are extremely religious. If we are going to overcome we need a baptism of fire. Jesus said, “I want you to wait and tarry in Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high.” What did that look like? Ten days.
We have to be in One Accord
They were in prayer, waiting in one accord. I can just see the expectancy. They had no understanding of what was going to happen. What does power from on high look like?
When I heard about the power of God… I wanted the power of God... I studied, I prayed four to 12 hours a day every day for three months. How do you know if you are endued with power from on high? I’m talking about praying yourself into an encounter with God. I pray until I feel the power of God.
In verse 40, 3,000 were added to the church that day. In verse 42 ‘they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread and in prayers’ and then in verse 43 God brought another level of revival.
The next level is FAVOR
Now I want you to read Acts 2:42.
The next level was favor. Now it went from 3,000 and fear came upon the people. Fear falls then they move in miracles. Turn to Acts 4:31. They’re already moving in signs, wonders and miracles. And they were being persecuted.
God grant to us what? Boldness! There’s something about a holy boldness. Instead of backing off, they said “God stretch forth Your hand.” I want to go to another realm of notable and unusual miracles. God stretched forth His hand.
Not one person in lack!
Look at Acts 4:33-35: Nor was there any lack among them.
What brought the revival? We gave ourselves to the Word of God and to prayer. Every revival fizzles out because they lose their intensity. We get too familiar with the power of God. After awhile you can only run on grace too long. I refuse to be the one who carries this revival. That’s why you need to show up and take it to the streets.
We must give ourselves to the Word of God and to prayer. We need to give ourselves to the very thing that started the revival.
I want you to tear open the heavens for your city. This thing isn’t going to stay in Lakeland. It’s going global. This is your moment to pray down your impartation. This is your moment to pray down your healing. This is your moment to pray down His glory.
They were all in one accord, in one place, to be endued with power from on high. I call it being fervent in spirit. Pray for revival. Pray in the Holy Ghost. Lord, I pray, make your people fervent in spirit. We’re going to have another Pentecost.
Repent of your complacency
Some of you need to repent of your complacency. I haven’t been fervent, I’ve lost the fire. Forgive me, Lord.
If you’ve backslidden, repent of your sin. It’s time to get right with heaven. Don’t just make a bunch of noise. Pray with purpose.
My God, we want a third wave. God told me to preach, “TAKE IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL.” The people of God are taking ownership of this thing.
We have an opportunity to take it to the next level. Come on! We just came into this new venue. We have to take the ground tonight. Let the glory cloud cover over.
I want you to pray against the demonic spirit that comes against the revival. We need to battle the principalities and take authority. Let’s get the devil before the devil gets us. I bind in the name of Jesus the devil’s plan to bring this revival to nothing.
Come on intercessors! Come on watchmen! All over the world, pray!
