Pat: WE HAVE A TREAT
FOR YOU TODAY.
A DEAR FRIEND, DOUG SHEETS,
HAS BEEN A MAN PRAYING FOR
REVIVAL.
AND HAS HEARD FROM GOD.
IT IS SO GOOD TO HAVE YOU
WITH US.
THANK YOU, PAT.
ALL RIGHT.
Pat: WHAT IS GOD
TELLING YOU ABOUT AMERICA?
YOU KNOW, I FEEL LIKE
WE'VE MOVED INTO A WINDOW OF
OPPORTUNITY THAT I ACTUALLY
AGREE WITH YOU, WHEN YOU
SAID EARLIER IN THE PROGRAM,
WE'RE WARING FOR THE FUTURE
OF THE WORLD.
I HAD A DREAM RECENTLY GIVEN
TO ME, WHERE IN THE DREAM I
HAD GROWN TO 6' 9," WHICH
WAS INTERESTING.
Pat: YOU COULD PLAY IN
THE NBA.
YEAH.
AND I KNEW INSTANTLY THAT IT
WASN'T A STATURE THING.
IT WAS A SCRIPTURE.
AND IT WAS GALATIANS 6: 9,
WHICH IS DON'T GROW WEARY OF
DOING RIGHT.
SO I STUDIED THE VERSE.
"DUE SEASON," THERE IS A
WORD, KIROS, AND IT'S A
WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY.
IT IS NOT A GUARANTEED
THING.
THE VERSE SAYS IF YOU DON'T
FAINT.
SO THE BEST TRANSACTION
WOULD BE A WINDOW OF
OPPORTUNITY.
IDIOS IS A WORD THAT MEANS
OWNERSHIP.
AND AS FAR AS GOD IS
CONCERNED, WE OWN THIS.
WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY THAT
GOD HAT GIVE HAS GIVEN TO
US.
AND HE IS WAITING FOR US, TO
DETERMINE IF WE GRAB THE
OPPORTUNITY.
I FEEL LIKE THIS IS THE
SEASON.
THIS IS THE SEASON WE'RE IN
RIGHT NOW THAT WILL
DETERMINE OUR HISTORY FOR AT
LEAST THE NEXT 40 YEARS.
Pat: WHAT HAPPENS IF WE
FAIL AT THIS POINT?
I THINK WE GO -- AT THE
VERY LEAST, WE GO THROUGH
ANOTHER CYCLE OF JUDGMENT.
AND THE ECONOMY WON'T
RECOVER, BUT WORSE THAN
THAT, WE COULD LOSE A
GENERATION.
THERE IS A GENERATION OUT
THERE THAT DOESN'T KNOW
GOD.
THERE IS A HARVEST, I
BELIEVE -- IF WE GO THROUGH
THIS WINDOW, I BELIEVE THAT
WE WILL SEE AT LEAST A
BILLION SOULS SAVED IN THE
NEXT 10 YEARS AROUND THE
WORLD.
BUT I FEEL LIKE IT CAN HANG
IN THE BALANCE, BASED ON
WHETHER OR NOT THE PRAYING
CHURCH RISES UP AND SHAKES
OFF WEARINESS AND CONTENDS
FOR WHAT GOD IS OFFERING US
RIGHT NOW.
Pat: THAT PRIZE IS SO
INCREDIBLE.
THE GREATEST MOVE OF GOD IN
THE HISTORY OF MANKIND IS
STANDING RIGHT THERE,
WAITING FOR US.
I BELIEVE IT WILL BE A
THIRD GREAT AWAKENING THAT
WILL SWEEP THE WORLD.
GOD IS TALKING ABOUT ELIJAH,
THAT EVEN THOUGH IT WAS TIME
FOR RAIN AND HE RECEIVED
SOME VICTORIES, AND THE FIRE
HAD FALLEN, HE STILL HAD TO
GO ON TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN
AND PRAY SEVEN TIMES BEFORE
THE RAIN COULD BE RELEASED.
THE NUMBER SEVEN STANDS FOR
COVENANT.
IN THE OLD TESTIMONY, WHEN
THEY WOULD MOVE TO COVENANT,
THEY WOULD TAKE AN OATH.
THEY WOULD REPEAT IT SEVEN
TIMES.
OFTEN IN SCRIPTURE, WHEN GOD
IS DEALING WITH YOU IN
JUDGMENTS IN ISRAEL, OR
RESTORATION, YOU'LL FIND THE
NUMBER SEVEN.
IT'S GOD'S SIGN.
WHETHER IT IS SEVEN YEARS --
IT IS GOD'S SIGN THAT, HEY,
YOU MOVED OUT OF COVENANT
WITH ME.
MANY TIMES, WHEN HE IS
BRINGING THEM BACK INTO
REDEMPTION AND RESTORATION,
YOU'LL FIND THE NUMBER SEVEN
OVER AND OVER.
ELIJAH HAD TO CONTEND SEVEN
TIMES.
WHY?
BECAUSE HE WAS WARRING FOR
COVENANT.
APRIL 29th WE PLANTED THAT
CROSS ON THE BEACH.
APRIL 29th, YEARS LATER,
GEORGE WASHINGTON DEDICATED
THIS NATION TO GOD.
SAME DATE, WASHINGTON FOR
JESUS, YEARS AGO,
APRIL 29th.
WE HAVE A COVENANT WITH GOD,
AND WE HAVE A ABANDONED THAT
COVENANT, AND GOD IS SAYING
TO US, RETURN TO COVENANT,
WAR FOR COVENANT.
I'M SO GLAD YOU GUYS ARE
DOING THIS, 51 DAYS OF
PRAYER.
Pat: YOU'RE
ENCOURAGEMENT TO US.
I WANT TO REITERATE WHAT I
SAID EARLIER.
NOW IS THE TIME FOR PRAY FOR
THIS NATION.
I KNOW YOU CAST OFF
WEARINESS.
THERE IS SO MANY STUFF IN
ALL OF OUR LIVES, BUT WE'VE
GOT TO GET BACK TO BASICS.
AND, REMEMBER, I WANT YOUR
NAME TO BE UP ON THIS BOARD
BEHIND ME.
TO SAY I AM GOING TO BE
PRAYING.
BY THE WAY, DON'T LET THIS
OPPORTUNITY PASS.
DUTCH IS A GREAT AUTHOR.
HE HAS WRITTEN A BOOK CALLED
"DREAM."
WHAT ABOUT DREAMS?
YOU KNOW, I FEEL LIKE THE
LORD GAVE ME THIS BOOK TO
CHALLENGE PEOPLE, NOT IN
NIGHT DREAMS, BUT TO DREAM
WITH HIM.
AND I STARTED STUDYING THE
CONCEPT OF DREAMING, AND TO
MY GREAT SURPRISE, I FOUND
THAT THE WORD "CREATE" AND
THE WORD "DREAM" OR
"IMAGINE" ARE THE SAME WORD
IN HEBREW.
WHEN WE COME INTO
PARTNERSHIP WITH GOD AND
ALLOW HIM TO DREAM OUR
DREAMS, THAT AWAKENS A
CREATIVE FORCE IN US, THAT
ENABLES US TO ACCOMPLISH THE
DREAM, AND WE BECOME NOT
ONLY SUCCESSFUL, BUT WE
BECOME AN OUTLET FOR GOD'S
DREAMS.
Pat: I FOUND THAT ALL
WE HAVE TO DO IS LISTEN TO
WHAT GOD SAYS.
IF GOD SAYS IT, THEN IT WILL
COME TO PASS.
HIS DREAMS BECOME PHYSICAL
REALITY VERY QUICKLY.
HE SPEAKS THAT CREATIVE
WORD.
THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT.
AND HE GAVE US HIS DREAMING
NATURE BECAUSE HE KNEW HE
WOULD NEED PARTNERS.
AND SO WE DREAM.
HE GIVES US DREAMS.
HE HELPS US ACCOMPLISH OUR
DREAMS.
BUT AS SOME POINT WE
REALIZE, YOU KNOW, GOD HAS A
DREAM IN MY DREAM.
AND A PART OF MY DREAM IS
FOR HIM.
AND WE BECOME AN OUTLET FOR
HIS DREAMS.
