Happy happy Sunday. Welcome to Forward City online live right here from Chicago, South [laughter] Carolina. What is happening? >> No. >> Sign. I am sick of it. We are in the South. >> We miss y'all. >> We're in the South. We're not supposed to have this, but uh as I've stated, we miss you guys.

And thank you guys for tuning in online with us today. Wherever ((music playing)) you're watching from, from your living rooms, from your workout rooms, kitchen, uh wherever office space, wherever you are, I ((music playing)) pray that today's broadcast is a blessing to you. One thing about the spirit of God that I'm so grateful for and that he can show up any and everywhere.

And we don't have to necessarily be in the same room to experience the same power. So, right where you are, I want you to receive everything that God ((music playing)) has for you today. This is the second Sunday in the row uh that we have had to not be in person due to weather.

I hate that word inclement. Um and uh so ((music playing)) again, we've missed out on being able to come together and bring our big gifts um on a Sunday. Uh we did it at pursuit night for many of you all, but ((music playing)) uh for the mass majority of our congregation, Sunday morning is where we really wanted to be able to ((music playing)) uh touch and agree with you and believe God for the seed that you were sewing for ((music playing)) 2026.

Do not be dismayed. Do not be [laughter] discouraged. Uh we're going to have a time right now online to be able to do it together. Whether you are ((music playing)) tithing, which we believe here at Forest City, the first 10% of our income, it belongs to God. It's our way of saying, "God, I trust you.

I'd rather trust 90 in your hand than 109." >> The Bible ((music playing)) says when we bring the tithe to God, he'll open the windows of heaven. It's one of the few times in the Bible where it says, "Test me in this." In this, he said, "See if I won't ((music playing)) open the windows of heaven and pour you out a blessing that you do not have room enough to receive."

My wife and I have been tithers for all of our adult life. And we have seen ((music playing)) really just the hand of God. We've seen him elevate us continually and pour our blessings really on ((music playing)) the entire Green family. And we want that same favor in your home. And so please, we're asking you uh to be a tither and to show ((music playing)) God to demonstrate faith in that area.

And also an offering. An offering is something we bring to God just to say thank you that all that we have is because ((music playing)) of you and you are worthy of all that we have. And so uh that's the tithe and offering, but also big gift. Maybe you've been still holding on to ((music playing)) yours like, you know, I need to put mine in the ground today.

Um, hey, we're standing in agreement with you. ((music playing)) Uh, and and we're praying and next Sunday we'll be able to be in person and still have that prayer moment because we want to ((music playing)) be able to stand and pray uh with you and have an impartation, a spiritual exchange u believing God for supernatural favor and grace ((music playing)) in your life.

But the Lord did give us a big gift declaration. We're going to say this >> before we jump into it. Um the Lord has just been speaking this one word and it's just multiplication. I believe as we've been believing for the winds of revival that whole spirit of multiplication where he wants to make bigger, make larger, make alive, the thing that we hold in our hand has just been so loud in my spirit.

And so I will say that as we're preparing to sew to give our tithe or to bring our tithe and we're preparing to give our big gift as we make this declaration, I pray that you would even get in mind the seed that you're currently holding believing that the Lord will multiply the seed.

And so have it in mind. This is what the Lord told me. cannot multiply what we won't give. And so that's my prayer that as you give this offering that you will believe that the seed that you're sewing that the Lord of the harvest will multiply the seed in every single area of your life. >> Amen.

Hey, and remember you don't give to a church, you give through a church. And because of your generosity, we've been able to make tremendous impact >> been able to make tremendous impact throughout the world. So, thank you uh thank you for entrusting ((music playing)) um us uh our staff, our leaders, our board as stewards over your finance ((music playing)) to be able to continue to push forth the agenda of life and the kingdom of God throughout the world.

Hey, ((music playing)) I want to share these uh declarations um and they'll be on your screen as well, but I want y'all to shout this with me. This is my revival year. >> This is my revival year. >> Lord, >> Lord, >> I receive your win. >> I receive your win >> over my finances. over my finances, >> my resources, >> my resources >> are coming into divine alignment. >> are coming into divine alignment. >> There will be no lack. >> There will be no lack. >> No limitations. >> No limitations. >> New levels. >> New levels. >> And new territory. >> And new territory. >> There are partners. >> There are partners. >> Promotions. >> Promotions. >> And properties >> and properties >> looking for me. >> Looking for me. >> Now, >> now >> that the ground is open >> that the ground is open. >> Lord, open the sky. >> Lord, open the sky. >> Blow my mind. >> Blow my mind >> with supernatural surprises. >> with supernatural surprises.

Send favor. >> Send favor >> and increase >> and increase >> from the north >> from the north, >> south, >> south, >> east, >> east, >> and west >> and west. >> The harvest >> The harvest >> from this seed >> from this seed >> will be carried >> will be carried >> by the wind. >> by the wind >> for generations >> for generations. >> Amen.

I'm saying a 100 times. >> In [laughter] 2026. >> In 2026. >> This is the smallest. >> This is the smallest big gift >> I'll ever give. >> I'll ever give in Jesus name. >> In Jesus name. Amen. Amen. Give God right now. Yeah, man. We believe. We believe.

We believe in ((music playing)) Jesus name. I'm excited. There's a lot of things happening. >> I pray you enjoy worship. >> Yeah. My Lord, thank God for an amazing worship and production team. >> ((music playing)) >> Um, but I'm excited because permission is right around the corner. >> It is. I am so excited.

We are bringing the greatest thought provokers, prophetic sounds of our ((music playing)) time to Columbia, South Carolina. And I've been telling my four women, women all around the world. This is a gathering place that we need you in the building for. We set aside time for so much for our children, for our bosses.

This is a moment for you to be actually invested in, to be poured into, that you will be able to go out and affect your community. I'm excited about what the Lord is going to do for permission conference. It is ((music playing)) going to be life-changing. But we're not just bringing permission conference in April.

Actually, on today, we're opening up applications for my mentorship program called permission room. I know there's today there's some permission alumni going crazy right now. Over hundreds of women around the world. We've had Europe and Africa and women local to South Carolina, all different states join me for an opportunity to have a six week intensive where if you're wanting to go deeper in fasting and prayer and even your understanding of the word and being able to use your voice to be all that God has called you to be.

Permission room is what we call a destined place for your life to be not just started in in freedom, but to be transformed in a way that it lasts. So, I'm excited about it. We're only opening applications for 3 days. If you've been feeling a pull or a tug, I'm telling you, permission room is an application you want to be sure that you put in.

We're so excited about permission room. Check out this promo for permission conference and be in the building and do not come by yourself. >> Listen, you got to come to permission conference. I don't know what you're thinking. You got to be there. We're about to show you a quick video.

After that video there, the word from God from my dearest. I'm so excited. If you've been around Forward City this year, we're in a move of God. the Lord. >> Not a season, a shift shift >> that we're calling winds of revival. And we've already explored and gone through the north, south, east, and today is west wind. >> And my wife has a west side word for us right here, live from Chicago, South Carolina.

I'm excited. Y'all check out this permission video. >> This is your moment. No more holding back. No more waiting for permission. You already have it. From the very beginning, God marked you. He called you out ((music playing)) and gave you authority to live free. A freedom that changes the way you move, the way you speak, and the way you show up to fulfill purpose.

Whether you're currently on a mountaintop of victory or navigating the depths of ((music playing)) a valley because life hit hard, I want you to know some seasons demand a response, some doors don't wait. If you've been feeling that tug, I need you to lean all the way in. Join me for permission 26 where women that are desperate ((music playing)) and devoted will declare and surrender nevertheless.

If God placed the vision and the passion on the inside of you, that means that you may not be qualified, but sister, you are called. >> I said it won't lead you there. When you leave this room, the love of God, it won't leave you at the bottom.

But I am raising up a people who will no longer stand in the dark as the defense, but who will rise up and become the prosecution. >> The Holy Ghost attends wherever Jesus is preached. So, so you give people Jesus, you better know that the Holy Spirit will show up. >> The original qualification for leading worship had nothing to do with gifting or talents or stage presence or charisma.

It had everything to do with reverence. >> God wants you to be empowered. It's one thing to have permission. It's another ((music playing)) thing to have power. >> This conference, hear me, it's not Dr. Jackie's conference. This is your conference. I know we search all over the world for the THING THAT WE ALREADY HAVE.

BUT TONIGHT, WE'RE GOING TO STAND FLATFOOTED IN LOVE CUZ HE LOVES YOU. HE LOVES YOU. OH, HOW HE [screaming] LOVES YOU. >> FAMILY, I am so excited about the Winds of Revival. this series that we've been in. We have been making a declaration before we jumped in every single Sunday.

And what I will tell you because it's the first Sunday is make sure you pause for just a moment. Go grab you some bread and some Kool-Aid. We're going to be taking communion at the end of this time of me sharing. It's going to be a dynamic time to really remember not just what Jesus did, but why he did it.

We'll get more into that, but I want to start out by us focusing on our winds of revival declarations. And PT has taught us there's only one way to say this. You got to shout it. Even from your living room or your gym or wherever you're watching from, I need you to turn the volume all the way up.

Let's say these winds of revival decoration together. This is my revival year. Everything is about to shift. I prophesy to the north, the south, the east, and the west. Fresh wind is blowing on every dead and dry place. Dead dreams, live again. Dead gifts, live again. Dead faith, live again.

Lord, breathe on my mind, my heart, my health, my family, my anointing, my church, my city, my relationships, and my finances. This is our year for divine alignment. What was scattered must come back together. What was broken will be restored. Heaven's version of me is ready to rise.

I will not fight against the wind. Wherever it blows, I will go. Use me to do whatever, however, and whenever. This is my year to pray more passionately, to fast more fervently, and to be more devoted daily. I renounce every lie. I rebuke every idol, and I repent for doing things my way.

You know what you're doing. Take everything and give me you. My worship is my strongest place. And your response to surrender is revival. I receive. I need you to say that loud. I receive. I receive the winds of revival in every area of my life in Jesus name.

Amen. Somebody give God glory for those declarations. We're not just saying words. We're believing that. We are prophesying as the Lord has commanded us as he said to Ezekiel in Ezekiel 37. And this has been our foundational text for these winds of revival series. And so we're going to read Ezekiel's 37:es 1-10.

I want you to grab your Bibles and turn there with me. Ezekiel 37 1-10. This is what the NIV says. It says, "The hand of the Lord was on me, and he brought me out by the spirit of the Lord and set me in the middle of a valley.

It was full of bones. He led me back and forth among them. And I saw a great many bones on the floor of the valley, bones that were very dry. He asked me, "Son of man, can these bones live?" I said sovereign Lord only you know you alone know the then he said prophesy to these bones and say to them dry bones hear the word of the Lord.

I need you to know that every dead place in your life can hear the word of the Lord. We have to begin to speak. This is what the sovereign Lord says to these bones. I will make breath enter you and you will come to life. I will attach tendons and you will make flesh come upon you and I will make flesh come upon you and cover your cover you with skin.

I will put breath in you and you will come to life. Then you will know that I am the Lord. We will know as he shows up with revival winds that he is the Lord. Revival is a sign that Jesus is present that he is the Lord. So I prophesied as I was commanded.

This is the call for city. He wants us to say what he's called us to say. And as I was prophesying, there was a noise, a rattling sound, and the bones came together bone to bone. I looked and tendons and flesh appeared on them and skin covered them, but there was no breath in them.

Then he said verse n to them, "Prophesy to the breath. Prophesy, son of man, and say to say say say say say say say say say say say say say say say say say say say say say say to it this is what the sovereign lord says come breath from the four winds and breathe into these slain then they may live verse 10 so I prophesied as he commanded me and breath entered them they came to life and stood up on their feet a vast army we have been teaching that revival is not random revival is not random it is a response to a surrender people.

It's return on his investment for the moments when we make a decision. Father, I lay down. I surrender. Not mine will, but thine will be done. We want the winds of revival to show up. And we're asking for the father to respond because of our surrender. That's what we're believing.

That's what we've been declaring from series to series, from week to week. Week one, he taught us that this response that he's looking for, number one, is a response of repentance. The north wind is a wind of repentance. And pastor Travis, he talked very loudly about 2 Chronicles 7:14.

If my people, there's a condition, are who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face, then he says, I will hear from heaven. He says, I will heal the sick. I will forgive their sins and heal the land. We have a responsibility to not just pray for God to send revival, but to actually turn our hearts, to turn from our evil ways, to turn back to God, to believe that what he is desiring to do in us as we repent, as we leave behind, not say, "I'm sorry," but to say, "I'm done."

We are believing from this first week of understanding that the north wind is repentance. That it is redirection that the father's looking, reposting where we turn back to him, not saying, "God, I apologize," but saying, "I'm done." We talked about that in week one and I'm believing that that won't be a thing that just lasted in a moment in this sanctuary, but that you would carry a life of repentance.

We would pray for the north wind daily. Father, what is the area that you're asking me for me to lay down? What is the area you're asking for me to repent and turn from? And we move from the north wind to the south wind. The south wind is the wind of renewal.

We are asking in the wind of renewal to renew a right spirit, to renew our faith, to renew our strength, and to renew our passion. I loved in this week that Pastor Travis reminded us that it was a faith fatigue that many times we find oursel as we're living in a valley.

Sometimes you've been in the dry valley. You've been walking through bones and things scattered for so long that you give up on believing what God has said about you, what he said that he can do. And or maybe you believed him in the last season. I can remember um you've heard us talk many times about us coming to this building and laying our hands on this building.

And we believe that God would take $140,000 and turn it into 1.75 in the middle of a pandemic. We have to be careful that we don't stop praying for the south wind of renewal to renew our strength because after you believe like that, sometimes you stop believing. Sometimes you start to stand still again.

And so we have to move and ask the father, renew my renew the right spirit in me, God. give me my passion back to believe you not just for what you did in the past but for what you will do in the future. Week three we talked about the east wind.

The east wind is the wind of removal. This is where we're asking for the Lord to break the shackles, to break the shine, and to break the shame. The shame was a big one because many times when you've been bound for a long time, you carried the residue of shame, being embarrassed about the choices that you made, the decisions that you made.

And God is saying that he would he would blow the east wind to remove anything that would distract us or break intimacy in a way that we would not be able to walk forward in all the things that he's called us to do. I'm asking that if there is anything separating you, any high place.

We've talked about those high places, these systems, these ways of thought or these things that we've supported that is anti- kingdom. We're asking for him to demolish those strong place, those high places. Demolish those strong men that culture has said is okay. We're asking for God to send the east wind that he would demolish anything that would separate us from moving forward with him.

But I'm excited about today that after he has been so careful to bring us back to a heart of repentance to cause us to turn with the north wind, after we've had the south wind that has renewed our strength and given us courage to have faith to believe again. and even after the east wind where he's cleared the slate where he's been able to give us a firm foundation for him actually to build a a revival fire on that he would send the west wind of God.

I'm excited about what the Lord has to say about the wind of restoration which is what we're going to talk about today. Before we jump really deeply into the west wind, I wanted to bring to life a burden that the Lord has been bringing up all these different series, these different opportunities that we've had to talk about the winds of revival.

PT kind of stopped and middle service and he kind of got stuck here. And even as I was preparing uh family, my heart began to burn for this reality that we understand as Ezekiel is standing in this vision of these dried bones that are vast and they are very dried out and there's uh just things scattered all around that we recognize that this vision that he's seeing many times we're sitting in service or maybe you're watching service right now and I'm watching the word and I brought c I brought cousin Bobo who needs to know the Lord and we feel as if this word is only for him.

The revival fire that we're praying for God to see from the north, south, and east, west is only for him. We don't recognize that the prophecy and the prophetic vision that Ezekiel was seeing was for the church. But not just the church of old. It wasn't just for Israelite people exiled in Babylon, Babylonia.

It was also for the people of today. It's for you. He brought this verse to my heart in 1 Corinthians uh chapter 6. He says, "And such were some of you. I need you to get that such were some of you as we look at Ezekiel 37:2 that talks about how there were scattered bones across the ground and how they were very dried out.

That such were some of us that there were many times in our lives that when we were apart from God, we chose a way that brought us into living addicted and being bound to sin cycles. It brought us into cycles of having lust issues. It brought us into ways where we were continuing to choose things that were in opposition to God.

And I'll say this, you might even know the salvation power of God, but still be living apart from him and still be in a valley of dry bones that are very dried out. That this text, this this word of revival from the north, south, and east, west is not just for them.

It's for us. It's for us to recognize that the hope that Ezekiel prophesied that after looking at these dry bones and asking the sovereign Lord, uh, can these dry bones live? and him saying back to him sovereign Lord only you know that it wasn't just a prophecy of oh it is a promise for now that if you are currently in a dry place maybe your dreams have dried out maybe your belief in what God can do for your life is dried up maybe your faith isn't as passionate as it used to be I want you to recognize that this picture of what he's talking about Ezekiel 37 is a picture of you and I picture of what it looks like when we know God but we live apart from him such were some of you.

The picture of the bones is showing that we are sometimes spiritually dead. And Ephesians talks about it in uh in chapter 2 where we can live like dead men walking apart from God where we need him to come and restore us back to the joy of our salvation where we need him to do a thing to be able to resurrect a alive man on the inside of us.

And so I'm saying if you've been currently contending with barren areas in your life and you've been believing that you could have hope again, that you won't just come to service and sing words or songs of worship but not actually have fire or compassion or conviction to back those words, that you would hear the word that God said to Ezekiel and recognize that it's hope for you today.

That he could send a west wind of restoration that you could be restored back to the fullness of what it means to walk in fellowship with the Lord. Because where God is, there's freedom. There's life. There is resurrection power. We are once without breath when Jesus is not there.

But my prayer is that as we see oursel, as we assess the reality that even in our life today, even as believers, we might find areas in our life that we would say God's presence is in there. I haven't done what the Bible talks about as it talks about praying without seeking or ceasing or inviting him to be daily bread for me.

That I could pray for the West Wind. I could pray, Father, for him to restore unto me uh a prayer life, a a a passionate prayer, a daily devotion that would bring me back to life. I want us to believe today that whether we're broken or we were broken, whether we uh were dried out or we currently are dried out, that God can meet us right where we are, a invitation of restoration is before us.

And I want to take you into what we see that Jesus does for the person that is believing for the West Wind. Let's take a look at Exodus 10:1 19. The Bible says, and for those that are at pursuit night, you're going to get really excited about this particular version.

This is how he says it in the NLT. In Exodus 10:1 19, the Bible says, "The Lord responded by shifting the winds." We have been praying for a shift to happen. Not for a season, not for a moment. We've been praying for the shift to happen. And I'm saying when the west wind comes forward, city, I need you to hear me loud and clear that a shift has happened.

That he has restored you. He's renewed you. He has bring brought you out AND GIVING YOU A REPENTANT heart in a way THAT A SHIFT COULD show up and a strong west wind. The Bible says blew the locust into the Red Sea. In a way that not a single locust remain in the land of Egypt.

The NIV says it like this that the Lord changed the winds to a very strong west wind which caught up the locust and carried them into the Red Sea. not not a locust was anywhere in Egypt. I want you to get that the only reason that the Lord would send a west wind is that he would see a land that was worthy of saving.

He would see a land that's worthy of being um a rescued from the attack of uh an unlawful uh invasion. And this is what I want you to get about when we talk about the locust in Exodus chapter 10. The locust is symbolic of a systematic um overwhelming loss.

The locust is a is a creature that doesn't come to nibble on your crops. He doesn't COME TO JUST UH AGITATE THE DIFFERENT things that you're believing God for. HE COMES TO TOTALLY DEMOLISH anything that is currently growing. And let me tell you about the locust. The locust is not one that just nibbles.

It it goes after to totally desolate, to make the land, to make the dream, to make the hope, TO MAKE THE STRENGTH, TO MAKE THE ENERGY OF YOUR LIFE TOTALLY without hope. Not just for today, but for future. The locust doesn't just eat what's currently there. It eats the signs of what could be.

It eats the signs of future. It eradicates any life form, any ability for harvest. That's what the locust does. The west wind of restoration is so important because when the locust comes, we have to recognize that we don't the weapons of our warfare are not corner, but they're mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds.

There are are invasions. There are locust invasions, locust seasons that your strength, your natural strength is not strong enough to handle on your own. There are moments where you need God, the God of the universe, THE THE STRONG GOD, THE REVIVAL WIND sending God to send a west wind of restoration.

Well, he will blow anything that has come to demolish your hope, to demolish your faith. Not just into the sea for a moment, but to enter the sea for a lifetime where you've seen no hope, no harvest, no seed for the next season, economic collapse in your life, famine, even the Lord is saying, "Son and daughter, I'm sending I'm sending my west wind of restoration."

I need you to know that in the areas where you as a single mom, you might be working two jobs, trying everything with all your might. You might be giving all that you have. You might have put up savings and then the the the AC went out. You might have been riding in the car that you had just a little bit of money to put gas in and then the car broke down.

THAT IS WHAT WE CALL a locust season where he comes after every single ounce of hope that you have. Single mama, I need you TO KNOW THAT YOU'RE GIVING ALL THAT YOU HAVE to be mother and father TO THESE CHILDREN. AND GOD IS SAYING no more. No more to this OF THIS THIS ABILITY TO DO EVERYTHING THAT I HAVE BEEN CALLING YOU TO DO.

PROPHESY AS I COMMAND, BUT NOT see the harvest of what I said. I'm sending my west wind for you, daughter. I'm sending my west wind for you, son. Maybe you are a single father and you've given all that you had to be to those daughters and those sons what God has told you to be.

Or maybe you've been one of those old saints and you are looking at your life and you're saying, "Man, I thought I would be further than I am right now. I I I I prophesied as he commanded me when I was in my 20s and now I'm in my 50s and my 60s and my health is failing.

My my my husband's health is failing. I've had bad diagnosis." And I'm SAYING TO YOU THAT the west wind of God is moving on YOUR BEHALF RIGHT NOW. HE WON'T LEAVE YOU THERE. THAT THERE'S A MOMENT THAT he look at the land and he'll say, "I recognize that the locust has come.

I recognize that you feel THAT THERE'S NO HOPE. THERE'S NO HARVEST. But I've shown up with the West Ring of Revival that will restore back to you the ability to see the fruit of your labors. The ability for you to pray and actually see the manifestation of what you prayed for.

I'm praying women and men that you would pray for the West Wind of restoration to show up in your life. To my young adults who you might be in school and you might be pursuing the career that the father has placed in front of you. Maybe you feel like every internship that I go after, every application I put in, I'm not seeing any doors open, the locust is coming to eat up opportunity.

And when the West Wing of restoration shows up, all the things that you've been trying in human effort will be met by a supernatural God that will ensure that what you've been believing for will come to pass. What I'll say to you is this. One thing that is so strong about the west wind that you see in the text is that it doesn't come to just bring about uh momentary reprieve.

It comes to bring about total restoration, lasting lasting, hear me, I'm talking about a lasting uh way of life that you won't have residue of the loss. You won't have residue of the shame. You won't have residue of the thing that the enemy has tried by locust invasion.

I am reminded so much that as we have been naming this locust as the devourer of our life that we have an adversary that moves very much like this. John 10:10 says that the thief comes only to steal, kill, and destroy. That he's not just happy with stealing my joy or my peace.

He has to come to try to kill my seed or kill what I believe that my children will be and try to destroy our lives and our destinies and our legacies in the long run. The the enemy for us is the devourer. He's the one that will come to try to take everything that the father is trying to currently plan in our life to set us up to win for to believe for future that the latter reigns will be greater than the former reigns.

That's what we're believing that Haggi talks about and the Lord is saying that I will restore to you everything that the locust said that it came to steal. This is what I want us to look at that after the locust invasion, he shows up in Joel chapter 2:es 25- 27 to make a declaration of restoration.

Because I want us to slow down to recognize that the restoration is not just the restoration of houses and cars and lands. Restoration comes to restore our years, to restore our timing. This is what the Bible says in Joel chapter 2 verse 25. I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, the hopper and the destroyer and the cutter, my great army which I sent among you.

We think that restoration will only be physical. But I would just come to tell you that re restoration is also coming to restore back to us the intangibles. God, he holds time in his hands. And I'm saying that when he's able to to totally remove when he's able to leave no residue of the locust invasion, you will see that time that felt like it lapsed, the old saint that feels like THAT I SHOULD BE FURTHER.

THE ACCELERATION WILL come upon you in A MOMENT WHERE YOU'LL ACTUALLY see God make up time. You'll see him be able to touch things like your fruitfulness. Maybe you've been working that job for 30 years and you haven't seen the promotion that you were believing for. In in a moment I believe that a suddenly happens in the restoration of God that as HE TALKS ABOUT IN JOEL THAT HE WILL be able to do much more than be able to give us houses and cars.

He will be able to restore back to us everything that was promised, every opportunity, everything that we felt that was permanently lost. Maybe there's a relationship and I just felt that really strongly that you've been believing that God would bring back to your life that felt as if there's no way that that could be mended.

I hear the Lord saying that the west wind is blowing on that. The west wind has come to revive and bring life back to bring wind back to that relationship that was a divine relationship. I want you to know that I am here to restore satisfaction. Uh Joel chapter 26 and 27 goes on to say that we'll eat plenty and be satisfied.

What good is for God to restore our money and restore our cars and restore our houses, but us not be satisfied that we will eat the good of the land because now he's cleared the slate. He's removed everything that would steal away our harvest. And now that we see harvest, he says, "Eat and be satisfied."

He's bringing back contentment and satisfaction into our life. He's bringing back the ability to walk with our heads held high. He says in verse 27, we will praise God because the people will know that there will no be there will be no more shame for my people. And then he goes on to say the biggest thing that I feel like the Lord restores with the west wind that is so crucial to our lives.

He says that they will know that I am in the midst of Israel. He says that as I start to restore back what the locust stole, they will recognize that I am now currently standing as the center of it all. Jesus be the center of our families again.

Be the centers of our work. Be the centers of our motives. Be the center of our professions. We need to ask God to restore back a position where we walk in fellowship with the Lord in step with him in order steps with him where we're not just doing for God without him.

I'm asking that he would be center that he would be in the middle of every single thing. God, I thank you for restoring back to us the satisfaction of what you called us to. That we will walk in the doors of the church and we would be saved. that I was glad when they said unto me, "Let us go into the house of the Lord."

That we would have our joy back and our strength back. We would have the joy of our salvation when we first knew him. We would have the passion to to be more devoted daily where we won't just be uh having dry times with the Lord, but he would meet us in those times to do what he promised.

God in his presence being restored will stand at the center and make sure that whatever invasion of the locust had come, he would stand there and be able to bring to life everything that we've been believing him for. This is the same thing that he models again and begin to say to uh Ezekiel about the children of Israel as he has brought them out of this uh desolate place as he's breathed life back into them.

When you look at Ezekiel 37 1-10, he ends Ezekiel 37 1-10 by saying that they will stand up on their feet again as a vast army. But God says, I don't leave them there. He goes on to verse 12 and through verse 14 to say that he will open the graves.

I want you to hear that he'll bring you out your grave. That he won't just stand you up on your feet. He'll bring you up out your graves. I hear the father saying, "I'm taking the grave clothes off. You will no longer live sons and daughters as dead men and walking.

You won't even look like you won't even look like the scattered and broken PLACES WHERE YOU'VE BEEN. YOU WON'T look like the years that you lost. You will see restoration in every single area of your life. He will say that I will not only will I open the grave, I'LL BRING YOU OUT OF THE VALLEY.

He says, I'll fill you with my spirit and I will settle them back in Israel in their land. I will settle them back in their land. See, for me, I I understand restoration to be a thing where he'll bring to life. He will restore to me what was mine, but he will also reestablish me.

When he says that he will settle them back in their land, being reestablished is a part of restoration where it's more than just a thing that God brings intangible and tangible. IT'S A PART OF SELLING you into the identity and the personhood of who he created you to be.

I believe it's about reestablishing that we are seated as as co-airs and joint HES WITH JESUS AT the right hand of THE FATHER WHERE HE'S ABLE TO REMIND a son and daughter, I'll restore you back and I'LL SETTLE YOU. YOU'RE NOT going to be anxious. You're not going to be off.

You're not going to be guessing about who I've created you to be. No, no, no. Reestablishment comes with my restoration. Son and daughter, I call you the head and not the tail. I call you above and not beneath. I call you mine. Mine. I call you love. I call you prosperous.

I CALL YOU UH THOSE THAT WOULD be of good courage AND THAT YOU WOULD take new territory. That's what he says about us. That he would reestablish us. He would settle settle us. And I'm believing that in his restoration that he'll bring back the tangibles and the intangibles, but he would be sure to settle us as well.

One of the things that I feel is most potent about this theme of restoration is that if we miss the greatest restoer, if we miss the God behind the wind, we miss the greatest uh thing about the good news that we ever get. John 10:10, it starts by letting us know that yes, the saint that Satan is like the devourer of the locust that would come to steal, kill, and destroy.

But verse 10 doesn't stop there. It has a be clause. Jesus says, "But I've come that you might have life and life to the full." THAT'S REESTABLISHMENT. IT'S NOT JUST A A POSTURE OR a thing of abundant life. IT'S A PEOPLE THAT STANDS RECOGNIZED THAT I'VE BEEN BLESSED to be a blessing.

And I'm praying that you recognize that the restoration that God wants to bring that for our lives. His answer to what the enemy has come to DO TO ASSAULT US THAT WAS UNLAWFUL is that he brought a west wind of sending his son Jesus to Calvary to make sure that on Calvary WHEN HE SHED HIS BLOOD when he broke his body THAT WHEN HIS BODY WAS BROKEN we could be mended.

We could have everything that would CAUSE US TO BE SEPARATE FROM HIM TO BE BARREN TO BE DESOLATE AS THE LOCUST WOULD DESIRE AS the enemy would desire. He says, "No, no, no. I took stripes for that. I broke my body that their body wouldn't have to be broken.

I gave my breath so that they would have breath." He says, "I want you to recognize that I gave my blood that he would have no legal right to you." The locust and these locust invasions that the enemy will often try to send to keep us in this uh desolate place.

The Lord says that when you look at Calvary, that is not so for my son and my daughter. And if we've been living like that and we've received Jesus as a son, I ask you to look back at the cross today. I ask you to remember what Jesus did on Calvary for your sake.

Isaiah 55 says that he was bruised. He was wounded. He was pierced for us. That he wanted us to be able to live with peace. And so he took on himself the punishment that no one else could take to give US A FREEDOM THAT would be lasting. That's what the West Wing of Restoration does.

It makes sure that we don't have freedom for a moment, but freedom for a lifetime. That he can usher us back. You see it in Ezekiel 37, a mirror of what Jesus did for us on Calvary. That when he was clothing them again with skin and tendons, he was putting back on them what was going to be necessary for them to stand.

Just like Jesus clothed us, clothed us with righteousness. That when Jesus gave up his breath on the cross, that he breathed the breath of life back into those dry bones. And that's what I believe that the Lord wants to do with this wind of restoration for our lives.

That we cannot forget the picture of what Jesus did on Calvary. When we look at Ezekiel 37 and we see breath into those dry bones, when we see those bones be covered again, when we see the resurrection power of those bones that were once scattered and broken and very dry, stand back up as a vast army.

We get the same picture on Calvary that he would only send a king of glory to the earth because he saw something worthy to be stand to be stood back up. I pray that you recognize that you're valuable that you're on purpose for purpose that he sent his son Jesus to Calvary for you to be able to stand back up to be mended to be brought back to life.

God in his goodness wasn't satisfied with leaving us the way he found us. And so he did whatever it took for God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever and I am so grateful that if you're watching this screen that you are whosoever I don't care what dry season you're in.

I don't care what desolation you might have experienced in your life. I don't care how long he has been devastating your life with that. The west wind of God the picture of Calvary is standing inviting you to be restored today. What I'll tell you is many people believe when they look at Ezekiel 37:10 when he stands them back up as a vast army that that is the ending point.

I have good news. It is the very beginning of the thing that the God of the universe wants to do with you. He says, I stood him back up as a vast army. But the question that we have to ask is why would God devastate? Why would he send the locust into the Red Sea in into a a picture of deliverance?

The Red Sea was a place where he drowned. what was trying to drown us. Why would he leave no residue? Why would he bring about this total restoration only for us to stand back up and be still? Maybe you have been looking at your life and you've been forgiven and you've gotten over the testimony of the assault and the trauma.

Maybe you have had your heart rebuilt from the the word curses that have been spoken over your life, but you're still standing still. You've not been activated. You've not been moved into the things of God. You're still standing as a sideline Christian. And he's saying, "I stood YOU UP AS A VAST ARMY AND I GAVE YOU A PICTURE of a military for you to understand."

There's a difference between being on active duty and being in military reserves. THERE'S A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RECOGNIZING THAT MY PROMINENT JOB AND THE REASON WHY I EXIST IS to be able to RECOGNIZE THAT THERE'S NO DEMILITARIZED ZONE ONCE I ACCEPT JESUS, I HAVE A TARGET ON MY BACK.

AND EVERY SINGLE DAY THAT I WAKE UP, THE ENEMY HAS A DESIRE TO SIFT ME AS WE HE HAS A DESIRE TO TAKE AND RAVAGE. HE HAS A desire to take and to devastate and leave bearing everything that I'm believing God for. But he has required as he sends the west wind of revel restoration for us to recognize that he stood us back up as Luke talks about in chapter 19 to occupy until he comes.

Yeah. He says, "I need you to fill the earth and subdue it. I need you to reign. I need you to have dominion and authority on the earth recognizing that I sent you ON PURPOSE FOR PURPOSE and you don't have the option as a military reserve to only uh show up sometimes for active duty to do the training but never actually get in the war.

It's like coming to church. You you're coming to the place where you should be equipped and to you should be edified TO BE A ABLE TO GO BACK OUT AND FIGHT OFF THE FIERY DARTS of the enemy. But then you stand on the sidelines like you don't you don't know the word of the Lord.

You don't prophesy as he commands. You don't open your book, The Sword of the Spirit, to recognize that when you SPEAK THE WORD OF GOD, YOU PUSH BACK THE DARKNESS. I need you to get it that the Lord has called us to not just be a people, to not be a vast army that just stands up, but to be stand up, to stand up and be active, to do everything.

Do all of it is what I hear the Lord saying. Do everything that the father's created you to. And I'll tell you, if you're still on the earth and you still have breath, there's a sign that there must be more that he wants to do with you. Occupy until he comes.

Do everything that he's called you to. Stop being stifled by fear and by shame and by sin cycles. We have the north, south, east, and west winds for that. The wind of restoration is blowing today to blow away anything that would keep you from standing against the vast army that he's created to occupy and do what he's created us to do on the earth until it comes.

We are the ambassadors and tanks for Christ. We are the ones that he has sent prophets like Pastor Travis and Dr. Jackie to remind us there's still something in you, girl. There's still something in you, boy, that I want out of you. And I pray that as you hear the word of the Lord today, that you'll prophesy as he command.

West Wing, come restore everything that the locust tried to steal. Give me my years back. Give me my opportunities back. Give me my promotions back. Give me back everything that you promised in the precious name of Jesus. Amen. I wanted to end our time of believing that God would send his west wind with us being able to take a moment to remember what Jesus did on Calvary because I believe that when we take a moment to not not just remember what he did but why he did it, we will be moved to a point of conviction where we can no longer stand still.

That as we ((music playing)) think about this bread that Jesus broke his body for, we would recognize it was only broken that we would live mended lives. ((music playing)) That it was only broken that we could live restored lives. And so I pray that as we take the bread and we think about Jesus that you gave your body broken for us.

That you would go and you would live 33 years ((music playing)) perfect and show up as our unblenmished lamb to take on the sins of the world for us. That as you broke your body and as we break this bread that we would we would take in the reality that it was only broken that I might be restored.

And as I as I receive his restoration, I make a commitment in this moment that as I take this bread, I'll stand back up and occupy till he comes. Let's take and eat this bread. Thank you, Jesus, for your body broken that I might be made whole. I would say as we get ready to drink this wine or juice symbolic of the blood that he shed on Calvary that you would remember that this this blood gave the enemy no more legal right to you.

That Jesus went to death, hell, and the grave and led captivity captive. That the locust ((music playing)) and the locust invasion would have to stop from this day forward. that as we drink this blood and we remember the sacrifice of him forgiving us of our sins but equipping us as a vast army to move forward in freedom that we will drink this blood and be recommissioned back ((music playing)) into the vast army that doesn't stand still but we occupy until you come.

Let's take and drink. Father, we remember your sacrifice. We don't just remember what you did. ((music playing)) We remember why you did it. We recognize that you broke your body. that we could be mended, that we could experience the restoration power that would cause us to stand in power and might and not live in moments where we're inactive because we recognize that there's no day that the enemy takes off ((music playing)) coming against our family, coming against our faith, coming against our legacy, coming against our harvest.

I pray, Father, that as we remember your body broken and your blood shed, that we would recognize that the enemy has no legal right. And any moment we sense him trying to invade again, that we would declare ((music playing)) that we are not guilty, that you went to Calvary for us to be able to live in the freedom that we now have, we would remember that you went to hell, ((music playing)) got back the keys, and that you led captivity captive.

I pray, Father, that we would stand and we would occupy the earth, that we would subdue it, that we will reign, that we will have the dominion and authority as you told us in Genesis from the very beginning. That we would be your hands and feet on the earth.

In the precious name of Jesus, we pray and believe. Amen. If you've been watching this and you have sensed this West Wind of Restoration being a thing that your heart needs so much and you are in a position where you're like, I want to know this Jesus of the West Wind.

I want to know this Jesus of Calvary that died because he felt like I was valuable. I pray in this moment that you would just repeat after me and you would commit that God, I give you my life. That you would be able to do more with it than I've been able to do with it.

That you would be able to restore me. That you would be able to bring me into the fullness of what you created ((music playing)) me for. I'm praying that as you give your life to the Lord, that you will become everything that he's called you to be. That's his desire for you.

Repeat after me if that's your ((music playing)) decision. Lord Jesus, thank you for dying the cross on the cross for my sins. And thank you ((music playing)) for getting up so I don't have to stay down. I receive you as my Lord and my Savior and I ((music playing)) give you permission to reign, to have authority in my life.

I forget those things that are behind me and I press forward toward those things that are ahead. I declare you as my Lord and my Savior ((music playing)) in the precious name of Jesus. Amen. >> We want to take this moment just to say thank you God. We came back to say thank you. >> Thank you.

Anybody just grateful for this place we stand in, for the pastors that we have? We've been healed right here. I thank you, Jesus. I ((music playing)) remember where I was when you found me. They told me that I ((music playing)) was untouchable. you. You came and you wrapped your arms around me ((music playing)) and gave me hope in darkness.

You knew my secrets. You saw my broken pieces. You came anyway. So I came ((music playing)) back to say you have done so much more than I could ask you for. ((music playing)) Needed a miracle. You made a way. I ((music playing)) don't know. Gave me I had nowhere to go. I'll be the one to come back and say thank you.
