II Kings 20:1-7 NKJV

Premise 

⁃When the Lord decides to revive you assurance is granted that the death that was set before you is reversed and turned in to life!

Prophetic insight 

1.A true cry for personal revival should reveal constant faith although your reality says different. What is your response to a answer you didn’t expect from God?

“In those days Hezekiah was sick and near death. And Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, went to him and said to him, “Thus says the Lord: ‘Set your house in order, for you shall die, and not live.’ ” Then he turned his face toward the wall, and prayed to the Lord, saying, “Remember now, O Lord, I pray, how I have walked before You in truth and with a loyal heart, and have done what was good in Your sight.” And Hezekiah wept bitterly.”

II Kings 20:1-3 NKJV

2.Can you hold on until the answers come? Divine turnaround can only occur if you don’t give up!

“And it happened, before Isaiah had gone out into the middle court, that the word of the Lord came to him, saying, “Return and tell Hezekiah the leader of My people, ‘Thus says the Lord, the God of David your father: “I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tears; surely I will heal you. On the third day you shall go up to the house of the Lord. And I will add to your days fifteen years. I will deliver you and this city from the hand of the king of Assyria; and I will defend this city for My own sake, and for the sake of My servant David.” ’ ””

II Kings 20:4-6 NKJV

3.Divine turnaround is born out of prayer and obedience to instructions that may not make sense at the time but is necessary for results.

“Then Isaiah said, “Take a lump of figs.” So they took and laid it on the boil, and he recovered.”

II Kings 20:7 NKJV

Acts 14:8-22 (NKJV) 

Revival has the opportunity to be born when something or someone has been presumed dead or at least a non factor. 

there’s something in me that needs to come back alive 

Luke pins (records) the resurrection

They had to leave the people they were comfortable with 

Some theologians state that Like wrote the book of acts for the defense for apostle Paul 

Gentiles - people who don’t know God 

Paul was stoned acts 14:19

They presumed he was dead , the believers gathered around Paul and he was revived as if nothing happened 

First making a decision of getting back up after getting knocked down 

Personal revival 

I’m not gonna sit down when I’ve been set down 

(John 10:10) 

he sends things to stir up our heart // so we can have a heart that’s after him 

Rise up again and head toward destiny 

We must first acknowledge that we are in need of vitality 

• What made you feel like you didn’t need him anymore ? 

• What made you decide to stay on the floor ? 

It is only revival that comes from dead places 

we can expect to usher people to revival that we haven’t experienced 

Don’t nobody believe what’s dead 

Life has thrown stones at you , and you settled to be down 

Romas 8:11 

Dueteronomy 20:

Roman’s 8:37 

Isaiah 54:17

I will walk In vitality , power , purity , purpose 

Prophetic insight 

1.) groups were formed 

Acts 14:19 

⁃ They were formed to be a nuisance

⁃ They were used by satan 

⁃ They were dismantling Paul so Jesus can be lifted in him 

⁃ The more of you that is crucified the more Jesus in you will show 

⁃ he had to become dead so he can go to dead people 

⁃ don’t let them push you away from the purpose 

2.) the enemy persuades crowds 

⁃ just because they are in number people seems to believe them  

⁃ The enemy will send onslaughts , to make it seems like everything that was said about you was a lie 

⁃ the did everything they did to kill them , to persuade the crowd to make it look correct 

⁃ you without sin cast the first stone 

⁃ The people wants to kill in you what they see in them 

⁃ sticks and stones may break my bones , but Jesus resurrects

⁃ what was shielding Paul that made him not cripple after the stoning !!!

⁃ he was bruised for our iniquity and beat for our transgression 

4.) take you from your destination

He goes back to the city where they tried to take him from.
Just because you were stoned does not mean you were done 
Get back up. 

5.) they supposed you were dead 

They assumed everything they did to him would kill him. 
They told him , being in the ground he might as well give up. 
It told the people he was assigned too look what God did (how he got up // resurrection).
They watched you focus on revival rather than retaliation. 

6.) the believers gathered in our life’s 

There’s a however in our life’s , that means the story isn’t done yet.
He could not rise until he was around the real ones.
You can’t get to your next unless you get up.
You may be down but your not out.

Genesis 22:1-18 NLT

Premise ⁃Being a child of God gives us rights to provision as our heavenly father is willing and able to provide all that we need and desire according to His will. But there is a prerequisite; obedience is required for the provision to flow.

Prophetic Insight

1.The testing of your faith is necessary in order to graduate to your next level in God. The only thing standing in between your next and you is your “Yes” to God.

Genesis 22:1 NLT

2.Obedience without hesitation is what determines your love for God as well as the what you can be trusted with. Covenant relationship with God is born out of extreme obedience.

Genesis 22:2-3 NLT

3.Everyone around you can’t go where you are going because they won’t understand your instructions. But everyone around you will have the opportunity to benefit from your obedience.

Genesis 22:4-5 NLT

4.You have to prophetically speak into your situation allowing your faith to produce results rather than your fear to produce doubt.

Genesis 22:7-8 NLT

5.In the midst of obeying, altars must be built.

Genesis 22:9 NLT

⁃Altars are places of divine exchange. Where humanity meets divinity. 

⁃Altars are places of remembrance.

⁃Altars are ineffective without sacrifice on it.

⁃Altars are spiritually built with prayer, obedience, worship, giving etc

6.God can only know how far you are willing to go based on your obedience. True sacrifice is when you will withhold nothing from God.

Genesis 22:11-13 NLT

7.God our provider (Yireh) shows up when you let go and obey.

Genesis 22:14 NLT

8.The blessing of God transcends situational provision giving you access to heavens resources for you and your descendants. Simply put, its bigger than you.

Genesis 22:15-18 NLT

Genesis 3:1-21 NLT

Premise ⁃In order to be fully “covered” you must be completely “naked”

Fundamental truths

1.Having knowledge of what tempts you allows the opportunity to choose between obedience and disobedience. 

Genesis 2:8-9 NLT

2.The decision to choose life equates to total reliance on the instructions of your father who covers you even in the confines and boundaries of His will for you. His wisdom is the beginning of covering.

Genesis 2:15-17 NLT
Genesis 3:22-23 NLT

3.Being convinced that the temptation must be explored implies lack of trust in the parameters of the instructions of God as well as His ability to completely satisfy you.

Genesis 3:4-6 NLT

Scriptural Insight 

1.Fear is fed by disobedience. When fear is present hiding is common because we hide from what we are afraid and ashamed of. True freedom is remaining naked in the father while He covers you from the evil one. 

Genesis 3:10-11 NLT
2 Timothy 1:7 NLT

2.Blame is usually given when we lack responsibility. Blaming another for our choices, mistakes, and shortcomings transfers authority to the one you blame insinuating that whoever you blame has control and influence over your actions.  

Genesis 3:12 NLT

Mercy is given when confession is released.

Proverbs 28:13 NLT 

3.The covering of God is far better than covering self. When we try to cover ourselves we are still exposed (fig leaves). When God covers, we are not only fully covered but protected (animal skins).

Genesis 3:21 NLT

God covered us with blood!

1 John 4:9-10 NLT

4.Sin began with a tree and ended on a tree. And because of the obedience of Christ you are now covered, clothed, and shielded with and by grace, righteousness, and the blood of Jesus!

Romans 5:12 NLT
Romans 5:17-19 NLT

Psalms 121:1-2 TPT

John‬ ‭15‬:‭4‬-‭5‬ ‭TPT‬‬

Premise - When it comes to prayer, many of us seek the hand of God rather seeking than the heart of God. There must be a shift from a place of simply asking in prayer, to a place of dwelling and intimacy in prayer. 

Scriptural Insight

1.Intimacy in prayer is cultivated when we remain. 

John 15:4a
Psalms‬ ‭121‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭NIV‬
Psalms‬ ‭32‬:‭7‬ ‭NIV‬‬
Psalms‬ ‭27‬:‭1‬ ‭NLT‬‬
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭27‬:‭10‬ ‭NLT‬‬

2.The miraculous is birthed out of intimacy with God 

‭‭John‬ ‭15‬:‭5‬ ‭NLT‬‬
Matthew‬ ‭4‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭NLT‬‬ 

(Jesus went to be intimate with His father through prayer and fasting before He began his public ministry)

Mark‬ ‭1‬:‭35‬-‭38‬ ‭NLT‬‬ 

(Jesus went alone to be intimate with His father in prayer before he healed and preached to many )

Luke‬ ‭22‬:‭39‬-‭41‬ ‭TPT‬‬ 

(Jesus went away to be intimate with His father in prayer and gained strength to endure the pains of dying on the cross the sins of mankind.)

‭‭Luke‬ ‭22‬:‭39‬-‭41‬ ‭TPT‬‬

3.A life without intimacy with God in prayer isn’t life at all, you’re merely just existing. 

‭‭John‬ ‭15‬:‭6‬ ‭NLT‬‬
Psalms‬ ‭139‬:‭23‬-‭24‬ ‭TPT‬‬

4.Intimacy with God produces answered prayer

John‬ ‭15‬:‭7‬ ‭NLT‬‬

I John 5:14-15 NKJV

Premise: Connection can only be established once our prayer lives and God’s will are merged

Scriptural Insights 

1.We have to have Faith before we even ask

Now this is the CONFIDENCE that we have in Him, 

“And it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him.” Hebrews 11:6 NLT
“But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord;” James 1:6-7 NKJV

2.He will hear what He said therefore We must learn to pray according to His word, which is His will 

that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. 

“You can ask for anything in my name, and I will do it, so that the Son can bring glory to the Father. Yes, ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it!” John 14:13-14 NLT

3.Not only will He hear us, He will grant us petitions 

And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him.

““Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened.” Matthew 7:7-8 NLT

“But if you remain in me and my words remain in you, you may ask for anything you want, and it will be granted!” John 15:7 NLT

Matthew 6:6 TPT

Premise ⁃There is a place called secret where all prayer warriors, intercessors, Jesus followers, and Jesus pursuers dwell. The benefits of this place can only be obtained once there is a an attempt to reside here as a residency and not a visitation.

Prophetic Insight 

1. Spending time in the secret place for the believer isn’t a “if” but a “when”.

Matthew 6:6 TPT

2.The secret place is designed for you to engage into deep intimacy that unveils your heart as well as The Fathers.

Matthew 6:6 TPT

3.Private prayer births public blessings. The eyes of God are more concerned with what happens secretly than publicly.

Matthew 6:6 TPT

Jeremiah 33:3 NKJV

Premise ⁃The answer can only come if the call is made. No call, no answer. 

Prophetic Insight

1. Effective petitions, fervent supplications, and intimate fellowship must be submitted and expressed in order to effectively invoke an answer. No call, no answer.

Jeremiah 33:3 NKJV
Psalms 65:2 NIV
1 Timothy 2:1 NIV
Ephesians 6:18 NIV

2.The Lord guarantees an answer because it is His desire to fellowship, provide solution, cultivate intimacy, and make known things that are hidden. One secret to answered prayer is effectively communicating and translating the will of God from the spirit to the natural and vice versa.

Jeremiah 33:3 NKJV
1 John 5:14-15 NIV

3.The objective of God in the context of prayer is to open up wells of revelation that leads to a more effective and productive life in Him. Effective prayer gives birth to fresh revelation that is only grasped and obtained in the secret place of prayer. 

Jeremiah 33:3 NKJV
Psalms 25:14 NIV
Daniel 2:22 NIV
