Can you just raise your hands from the back to the front of this sanctuary? Can you just welcome the presence of the Holy Spirit in this room? It's his promise. Where two or three are gathered in his name, he is there. And where his presence is, there is freedom.

There is liberty. There is healing. There is salvation. Holy Spirit, we welcome you tonight. It's not just his presence in the room. It's the awareness of his presence that changes. We're aware of your presence. We welcome you, Jesus. Come on. just for the next 15, 20 seconds. Can you begin to welcome the spirit of God in this room in your own language, in your own tongue right now?

Just begin to welcome him. Holy Spirit, we welcome you here tonight. God, we welcome you into this week. Do what only you can do in the name of Jesus. We worship you. We glorify your awesome name. His presence is in the room. And right now, we're going to begin to pray.

And we're going to begin to intercede for our next generation. We're going to begin to intercede for teenagers in our city and in your city. I believe the world has called our generation a hopeless generation. But God has hope for our generation. He has a plan for our generation.

I want you to see this young man tonight, Isaiah Louise. Two years ago, this young man was suicidal. He was going to die out of a heart issue. But then he walked into a classroom where Jesus is not preached. But on this Tuesday, Jesus was preached. Where we do something called unashamed clubs.

And these unashamed clubs, we have over 22 of them across Washington state. And this young man walked in at 15 years old, suicidal, didn't want to live. Today, it's his 17th birthday. Yesterday, this young man preached the gospel in that same classroom and 10 people got saved. THE WORLD CALLS OUR GENERATION A HOPELESS GENERATION.

BUT JOEL 2:28 says, "In the last days, he will pour out his spirit on all flesh. Your sons and your daughters will prophesy and your young men shall see visions. I want us to begin to pray right now and I want us to begin to lift up our schools that revival will come into our schools. that this is the schools are where they the generation gets exposed to darkness.

Now the schools will be where the generation get exposed to the gospel. We will not lose our teenagers to the world. We will launch them in the name of Jesus. We will not lose them to drugs. We will launch them into our schools to deliver those from drugs in the name of Jesus.

I want us right now if we can begin to lift both of our hands. We're going to begin to pray for God to show up in our hallways. For God to show up in our classrooms, for there not to be the the dispersing of drugs, but of the gospel in the name of Jesus.

Yes, Father God, right now in the name of Jesus Christ, Lord, we call upon your name, Lord, and we plead the blood of Jesus over every single school, God, in our nation, Father, I pray over every single school in our city, Father. Use us, Lord. use this generation to spark a revival like we've never seen before.

God, we ask that your Holy Spirit may come in every single classroom into every single student. God, every single teacher, every single administrator, Father, I pray a revival like we've never seen before to sweep, Lord, and start with generation Z, Generation Alpha, Lord, hope to begin to arise again, Lord, in this generation.

In the name of Jesus, Lord, as we lift up your name, Father, you will draw the students back to you. You will draw the prodigals back to you. You will draw every lost student back to your feet. Jesus, we worship you and you love you, Lord. Jesus name we pray. >> And I want us to begin to pray, church.

I want us to begin to pray for our our principles. I want us to begin to pray for the staff in our school. Now, here tonight, we have multiple principles and high school teachers and middle school teachers that host our unashamed clubs. I'm telling you, our schools will begin to rely on the churches to bring the good news.

And our teachers, our principles, they're at the forefront. So, I want us to begin to pray. In this past year, we've seen too many shootings in school. We've seen too much of the woke agenda. We've seen too much of compromise. We've seen too much of the world in our school.

And we're going to begin to pray that the safety that the blood of Jesus will cover our teachers, our principles, the staff, faculty, that God will protect them from every single plan of the enemy. And God will use them to steer students to Jesus. So I want us to begin to pray for that in the name of Jesus.

In the name of Jesus Christ. Father, we come to you before come before you today, God. And we lift up every single teacher in the name of Jesus Christ, God. We lift up every single principle in the name of Jesus Christ, God. and we pray that they would begin to know you, God.

Lord, that boldness would come out of them in the name of Jesus Christ. God, we pray that our teachers would be on fire for you, God. We pray that our teachers would stand up for you, Jesus. Lord, we pray for our principles, God, that they would begin to get saved, God.

We pray for superintendent that they would begin to get saved, God. We pray in the name of Jesus, Lord, those who are in darkness would be turned to light. God, we pray in the name of Jesus Christ, Lord, that they would stand up for your gospel, God. And Lord, fire like fire, God, it would spread across this nation, God.

And we would pray for a surplus of Christian teachers, God, and those that are lost and economists, God, to preach your good news, God, to share Christian values, God, to help students that are hopeless in the name of Jesus. We pray protection in the name of Jesus Christ over our schools.

We pray against every single demonic plan of the enemy. We pray against every single demonic agenda in the name of Jesus Christ. God, we pray that parents would stand up. God, we pray that teachers would stand up. God, we pray that coaches would stand up, God, in that in the name of Jesus, revival would break out in every single school in this nation, God.

And Lord, that you would use our teachers here today, and you would mark them, God, in the name of Jesus. We pray for our teachers, God. We pray for our faculty, God, in the name of Jesus Christ. Lord, may you save them, God. May you reach them, Father.

May testimonies be reached out, God. May families be saved, Father, in the name of Jesus. Lord, we worship you, God. We pray, Lord, that the greatest revival in human history would happen now, God. We pray that you would use our teachers, God. You would use our principles, God.

You would use our schools, God, and mark them as a light in this generation. Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Come on. If you believe that prayer you prayed, shout amen. Shout hallelujah. Shout hallelujah. Amen. Amen. Amen. Oh, he's good. Hey, welcome to Revival Week day one.

Hey, where are you from? >> We got people from different states, different states, different cities. >> Hey, if you are from out of state, can you raise your hand if you're from out of state?

Welcome to the first night at Hungry Generation Tri Cities. Come on. God is good. Amen. >> Isn't he just wonderful? We are sitting right now in the fruit of generosity from the people all around the world, including you guys who are sitting here today. God has just been so amazing, so awesome.

You know, it's the kingdom work. It's going to be done one way or another. So, I would just advise, let's be obedient, right? The the word of God in in uh Romans chapter 12, it tells us that we actually have a gift. There's been a a spiritual gift given to us, a gift of giving.

Uh Romans chapter 12 says, "If you have the the gift of generosity, be generous." Amen. If you have the gift of giving, give generously. Amen. Come on. Come on. Don't shy away from me. God is good. He got me here. He got me here this far, right? He's with me day and night.

He doesn't leave me. He'll never leave me or forsake me. So, we just love him for that and we honor him. And I want you guys to know that because of your generosity and your obedience to the word of God and to him and to his kingdom work, we are sitting here today.

All of our conferences are completely free. There's no charge. And it's because of your obedience to the Lord. It's because of your generosity. So, we just want to thank you for that. Thank you guys. Amen. You guys are making an opportunity for somebody to have a seat to come in and to hear the word of God and for their lives to be transformed in the presence of God.

Amen. So, with that being said, we have ushers that are around the building. If you need an envelope for your gift tonight, go ahead and raise your hand and our ushers would be kind kind enough to give you a an envelope. There's also a QR code you can give on the church center app.

Tonight, our focus is on our conferences and uh you know what we can do to continue making those uh completely free of charge. Amen. So, if the Lord is stirring your heart to give into that, we want to encourage you prayerfully consider. And for those that are watching online, prayerfully consider and you can join with us.

You can partner with the Lord to continue the kingdom work to be moved forward in Jesus name. With that being said, we're going to pray. Father, I just thank you for the opportunity that you've given us to partner with you to see your kingdom come on earth. Father, we thank you and we bless each giver tonight, Lord.

And for those who are lacking, Lord, I pray that you would bless them, that they would have more than enough to give into your kingdom in Jesus mighty name. And with that being said, amen. Amen. Amen. Let's welcome Morgan to the stage. >> Good evening, Hungry Jen. We've come to our wonderful time of testimonies.

I have the honor of hosting testimonies. This is the time where we reflect on what God has done as we look forward to what he is doing. Our God is not a God of yesterday. He is the day of the God of today and forever more. So without further ado, help me welcome our wonderful testimony to the stage.

Please share with us your name and where you're from. >> I am Jessica Garza and I'm from Spokane. >> Thank you for coming all this way, especially with the weather. >> Yeah. >> Thank you. So, you came all this way. Please share with us what your life was like that had you praying to the Lord for your healing that you received.

Um, so when I was out of nowhere, I just started feeling very tired, very weak. Um, I knew something wasn't right. I started bruising and then I was like, "Okay, I need to see the doctor to see what's going on." So, I had went in, got some tests ran, and then I ended up finding out that I had capillite chain disease, which is a sort of cancer.

Um and then um share with us a little bit about what it was like to have that disease to live with that disease day in and day out. Okay. It got really I mean really bad that where my daughter would actually have to help me out of bed because my bones hurt so bad.

Um, and then I remember watching Pastor Vlad on on YouTube and I was like, "Man, wouldn't it be amazing to go to that church?" And I had my niece come over when I was watching it and she's like, "He's eight minutes away." Me thinking that he was far, but he was eight minutes away.

And she's like, "We can go." And I said, "All right, let's go." So, it was a actually a communion day when this had happened. And I remember walking in and I can just feel the tangible presence of the Holy Spirit already when I walked in. Um, and I remember Pastor Vlad saying, "Does anybody need healing?

Raise your hand." Um, and my daughter hit me and she's like, "Raise your hand." So, I raised my hand. Um, and I remember two young couples behind me started praying and I just remember feeling the Holy Spirit um, fire come upon my body and all of All of the pain left my body in an instant.

Praise God. So after that day, you said all the pain left, but did you go to the doctor and get confirmation that you had been fully healed? >> So yes, I had either two weeks I was supposed to go and I had to get rechecked every six months to see how bad it progressed.

And at that time, the doctor had already thought, well, it's probably less time that you have. So, they had already did bone marrow. And so, when I went in, that's when they did the bone marrow. And um he called and he said, "Uh, I would like you to come into the office."

And I know that when we usually get a doctor's call, it's because it's bad news. But my God had redeemed me from other things before. So I believe that he was already healing me. So as I sat out of the office, I had told him, "Lord, I am healed right now, no matter what they say cuz I am with you."

And um I remember walking in sitting there. The doctor made me wait forever for confirmation. He got on the computer and he said, "Your labs and everything came back negative. Your blood work is better than it was before. Let's give a round of applause for Jesus and how amazing he is.

So, you had confirmation from the doctor that you were completely healed and so many people want that miracle and are struggling in disease and their own affliction. What would you say to them as encouragement to them believing for their miracle? So at my home church, I shared about Peter walking on water and he was looking at the storm instead of looking at the Lord.

And so he was really looking at the reports that the doctor gave him. Right? And so we have the woman with the issue of the blood that already got the reports but believe that she knew she was healed. If I touched his hem of his garment, I am already healed.

So my what I'm trying to tell you is be like the woman with the issue of blood and believe he's already healed you. >> Come on. Come on. Thank you Jessica so much for sharing your wonderful testimony with us. God is a God of miracles. He does not just do miracles back in the Bible.

He does miracles today. So don't give up hope no matter what your situation is. Her situation was dire, but God is still in the business of doing miracles. So, please, with that being said, help me welcome Pastor Ivan to the stage. >> We want to welcome every single person watching us online and everyone here on person.

Welcome to day one of our revival weekend. Are you excited? >> Amen. Are you excited for the word of God? Well, tonight we have the honor and privilege of welcoming Pastor Russell Johnson, the founding and lead pastor of Pursuit Church in Washington, a growing spirit-led multiampus church founded with a heart to see people encounter God's presence and walk in true life transformation.

Before answering the call to full-time ministry, Pastor Russell spent nearly a decade in politics serving on the legislative and campaign teams. This unique background has shaped his bold and faithfilled approach to preaching. Firmly rooted in biblical truth and culture relevance. Known for his passionate revival centered leadership, Pastor Russell carries a deep burden for this generation to experience Jesus in a personal and powerful way.

Alongside with his wife, he continues to lead Pursuit Church with the vision of belonging encounter and Christc centered living across the Northwest. Church, get ready. Let's open up our hearts, lean in with expectation, and help me welcome Pastor Russell Johnson to the stage. >> Awesome. Hey, well, what a privilege uh to be here at uh conference in the grand opening of this beautiful building.

Uh, I want to say a big congratulations to my friend Pastor Vlad and the entire team. This is a major accomplishment. And, uh, just looking around this place, it's inspiring. It's beautiful. You guys have done an incredible job. And I know y'all are still working out some of the little details and and and things of that nature that are coming together, but just to see uh how faithful God has been up until this point and uh what what what may have started small.

Scripture says don't don't despise the day of small beginnings because it doesn't matter how small a thing starts when it's placed in God's hand. It's not going to stay small for long. And uh the fact that people are here in the house of God celebrating, pressing in, believing for a move of God in this region, it it gives me great hope. uh as I pastor over in in in the Seattle area and uh you looking across this state, it's like good to see other people who are believing God for similar things because it makes you feel like you're not crazy and you're not alone.

And I I sincerely believe that there's going to come a day where the Pacific Northwest, Washington State, will be known as a destination spot for people to experience the move of God. and you're sitting in the right church at the right time. You're worshiping the right God. You've got the right pastor.

I'm telling you, you've got the best seat in the house to see what God's going to do in and through your simple obedience. And you know what I love about the scriptures is that like God doesn't even need experts. He's just looking for people who are available. The Bible says in the year that King Uzziah died, Isaiah seen the Lord high and lifted up and the train of his robe filled the temple.

And he saw cherubim and and Saraphim flying back and forth crying out to one another, not tolerance, tolerance, tolerance, but holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty who was and is and is to come. And Isaiah is immediately aware in that moment that God is closer than he's ever given him credit for.

It's not that this is the first time that the Lord's ever been high and lifted up in the temple. It's the first time that Isaiah has had eyes to see what has always been true. And that's what happens in a move of God. >> Your eyes are cleaned to see what has always been true.

That God is closer than we think and better than we know. And revival isn't our idea. It's his idea. HEAR ME. REVIVAL IS NOT OUT WITH the old and in with the new. It is out with the old and in with the ancient. In eternity's past, as God's spirit hovered over the darkness, EVEN BEFORE GOD SPOKE INTO DARKNESS AND SAID, "LET there be light."

It was in the heart of God for his glory to cover the earth, even as the waters cover the sea. And the church still today is not plan B. It's not plan C. It's not, if I ever get around to it, it is still his plan A. It's his bride.

It's what he's building. And when the church gathers with expectation, God responds with impartation. And so, if you're here tonight, you know, it it doesn't even TAKE A PROPHETIC WORD for me to be able to tell you, you're going to receive in accordance with what you came expecting.

WHEN YOU PUT YOUR EXPECTATION AND YOUR EYE ON GOD, THERE IS SIMPLY NO WAY FOR YOU TO LEAVE the same way that you came in. I would dare to tell it to you like THIS TONIGHT. THERE IS NOT ONE THING THE DEVIL'S done to you that God in one second can't fix at this altar.

THERE IS NOT ONE YOKE OF BONDAGE SO STRONG THAT AT HIS NAME and anointing it won't be broken off of your life. GOD HASN'T SHOWN UP TO NEGOTIATE WITH YOUR DARKNESS, BUT INSTEAD TO SO SHINE HIS LIGHT THAT YOUR LIFE IS NEVER THE SAME FROM THIS MOMENT FORWARD.

AND YOU MIGHT BE HERE TONIGHT, YOU MIGHT SAY, "PASTOR, I AGREE WITH THAT." MAN, THAT SOUNDS GOOD AND I'm with you. BUT I'M ALREADY BORN AGAIN. WELL, GREAT. BUT YOU CAN GET MORE OF GOD THAN YOU CURRENTLY HAVE. AND YOU HAVE AS MUCH OF GOD TONIGHT AS YOU CURRENTLY WANT. >> But if you're to draw near unto him and he's to draw near unto you, there's nothing that GOD DRAWS NEAR TO THAT IS NOT FUNDAMENTALLY TRANSFORMED by the nearness of his presence.

And that's what happens in A MOVE OF GOD. THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS IN REVIVAL. REVIVAL ISN'T JUST LIKE AN EXTRA song during the worship set or an extended prayer service at an altar. It's when a collective group of people all of a sudden MAKE A DETERMINATION. WE'RE GOING TO BE MORE HUNGRY FOR THIS GOD TODAY THAN WE WERE YESTERDAY.

WE'RE GOING TO BE MORE HUNGRY FOR HIM TOMORROW THAN WE WERE TODAY. CUZ IF I CAN GET MORE of God, I want more of God. I don't want to allow my last encounter to be the ceiling AT WHICH MY SPIRITUAL growth stops. >> But instead, until the day that God calls me home, I want to be transformed into his image and into his likeness more and more, looking like WHO GOD KNOWS ME to be and less like the things that he saved me from.

And I I think this place is like primed for for for a move of his spirit. And I I would even say it to you like this. I mean, like the good news is the building's built. The bad news is it's like already too small, you know? And so it's it's going to feel like for the next decade here, it's going to feel like, and I don't say this in the sense of like exhaustion or in the sense of like um that you won't have enough.

Uh because the God that we serve is not he's not Elchipo. He's El Shadai. My God will supply everything you're in need of according to his riches and glory. But I'm telling you, for like the next decade, it's going to feel kind of like you don't know where one building project stopped and another one started.

Because as soon as you build it, God's going to fill it. >> You can't build big enough. As soon as you build it, God's going to fill it. You know why? Because the devil should have killed this church when he had a chance, >> but he missed >> and he's going to regret the day.

Because a thousand may fall by your left and 10,000 by your right, but it's not coming near you. You will not fear THE PLAGUE NOR THE PESTILENCE, NOR THE ARROW THAT FLIES BY NOON. For the Lord IS YOUR STRONG TOWER. THE RIGHTEOUS RUN INTO him and they are made safe.

The devil's going to be sorry that this church MADE A COMMITMENT THAT WE'RE going to serve God. We're going to open our doors with no turning back. Eyes set on him, the author and the finisher of our faith. There's only one option. We're going forward. We're going to see the kingdom of darkness diminish, the kingdom of light grow.

And in doing so, we're going to see his gospel reach people um THAT MAYBE FOR GENERATIONS HAVE BEEN UNDER the torment of stuff that THEY COULDN'T BREAK, CURSES THAT THEY COULDN'T ESCAPE FROM, hope that they couldn't see, purpose that they couldn't find, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN, GOD IN HIS INFINITE wisdom said, "Let me put a prominence.

Let me put a glory. Let me put a shine on a church that's believing for the impossible." I I'm telling you what this church represents is an answer to prayers that people have been praying for a long time. Stuff that they've been searching for that human worlds WORDS EVEN LIKE FAIL to comprehend.

And it's like the right time for this place to expand, for this building to get occupied, for people to begin to fill it. I It's like it's like the rain has begun. But the Bible says in the time of rain, pray for even more rain. And so I'm believing for an outpouring that the river of God, which makes a city glad, would proceed from this place in such a way that the Tri Cities are never the same from this moment forward.

AND SO YOU YOU GOT TO JUST BE AWARE YOU'RE A PART of a city transforming church, A REGIONAL SHIFTING CHURCH. THIS AIN'T A PLACE TO COME ON SUNDAY MORNING AND CHECK A RELIGIOUS BOX. THIS IS A PLACE TO COME WHERE YOU PUT YOUR FAITH ON A PROMISE FROM A COVENANT KEEPING GOD.

HE SAID, "IF YOU WILL ASK AND you will seek AND YOU WILL KNOCK, HE WILL OPEN A DOOR UNTO YOU. FOR HE SPOKE THESE THINGS CONCERNING HIS HOLY SPIRIT." And we're here this week to ask and seek and knock because not one word from God will ever fail.

All of his words are true. They are yes and amen. And when his word gets sent forth, it accomplishes everything has been sent forth to do. You were created for the moment that you are walking into now. The reigns have begun and they only increase from here. >> It really is encouraging.

You know, the enemy will work overtime to make you feel like you're alone and you're not. Yeah. Some people they end up subscribing to like the fatalism of Elijah in the cave. I'm the only one here. Everyone else is gone. No. The Lord has to speak to Elijah and say, "How many thousands of prophets do I got who haven't bowed their knee to Baal?" >> He said, "You need to take a nap.

You need to eat. And then once you wake up and get strength, you need to walk in the way that you should go that you would never depart from it." And so even just being here and seeing the move of God and this new building get completed and all the folks here, it's like encouraging to my soul because I know that there are more in this region that are for us than against us.

I'm telling you, the devil is nervous tonight. The enemy is nervous tonight. And it's just a great it's a great place to be. The church was birthed uh at at at Pentecost and and for 2,000 years it has survived war, famine, pestilence, persecution, trials, and and and hardship.

And when you've been born in the fire, the smoke of religion will not satisfy. Friend, revival is simply God remembering what has always been true. A church burst in fire must stay on fire. What begun in the spirit must continue in the spirit because we serve the same God who is pouring out the same spirit.

And he's just looking for ordinary men and women fully surrendered to the upward call of God which is in Christ Jesus. And that's kind of how I started. It's good news. Isaiah sees the Lord high and lifted up. And he says, "I'm unclean and the people are unclean."

The Lord says, "I can take care of that in one moment. >> I'll take the coal of heaven. I'll touch your life and you'll never be the same." And Isaiah is like, "If you'll do that for me, then here am I. Send me." IT WAS A FIVE-WORD PRAYER THAT ULTIMATELY shifted the trajectory OF HIS ENTIRE LIFE.

CUZ IT'S NOT LONG PRAYERS THAT IMPRESS GOD. It's authentic prayers. IT'S GENUINE PRAYERS. CUZ THE BIBLE SAYS THAT A BROKEN HEART AND A CONTRITE SPIRIT, he will not ignore AND HE CANNOT DENY. ISAIAH sees what has always been true. THE LORD IS HIGH AND LIFTED UP IN HIS SANCTUARY.

AND ISAIAH'S RESPONSE IS, "I'M NOT WORTHY. I'M NOT QUALIFIED. I DON'T GOT THE RESUME. I don't got the skill. I DON'T GOT THE MONEY. I DON'T GOT THE RESOURCES. AND EVERYONE ELSE AROUND ME IS IN THE SAME BOAT AS ME." AND God says, "In one moment, the coal from the altar of heaven can touch your life.

And from that MOMENT FORWARD, IT will forever SHIFT YOUR DESTINY AND YOUR TRAJECTORY. ISAIAH WAS JUST A NO-NAME POLITICAL LACKEY SERVING a king. AND SOMETIMES THINGS HAVE TO DIE IN ORDER FOR OTHER THINGS to live. It was in THE YEAR KING UZZIAH DIED THAT ISAIAH HAD A MOMENT WHERE HE COULD SEE HIS LIFE BEFORE A HOLY GOD AND MAKE A DETERMINATION ABOUT WHAT TYPE OF PERSON HE WAS GOING TO BE FROM THAT MOMENT FORWARD.

I WOULD VENTURE TO SAY TO YOU THIS EVENING, YOU CAN HAVE A MOMENT WITH GOD TONIGHT WHERE THE COAL of heaven touches your lips, WHERE HIS FIRE GETS DEPOSITED IN A FRESH AND in a new way in your heart. And one moment IN THE PRESENCE OF GOD CAN CHANGE EVERYTHING about you.

AND THAT'S WHY YOU SHOULD NEVER DISCOUNT WHAT HAPPENS ON NIGHTS LIKE THIS. YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT GOD IS DOING BEHIND THE SCENES. AND SOMETIMES you feel it and other times you don't. But it's not JUST ABOUT WHAT YOU FEEL IN YOUR FLESH. IT'S what you sense in your spirit.

You ever been sitting in a church service AND YOU'RE LIKE, I DON'T KNOW IF I FEEL SO MUCH IN MY FLESH, BUT I SENSE this is more significant than I realize. And for some of you tonight, it'll be like that moment of encounter where the cool of heaven touches your life and you recognize I was created for more.

I was created for different. I I I I I I WAS CREATED FOR SIGNIFICANCE. COULD IT BE THAT GOD WOULD CALL ME to the stage of history to MAKE AN IMPACT ON MY GENERATION? COULD IT BE THAT THE MOST VALUABLE THING THAT I OFFER GOD IS NOT MY RESUME, IT'S MY AVAILABILITY?

WHAT IF A FIVE-WORD PRAYER FROM A NO-NAME YOUNG ADULT OR YOUTH PERSON TONIGHT COULD SO TRIGGER THE ATTENTION OF HEAVEN THAT GOD WOULD TAKE HIS COAL, DEPOSIT IT INTO YOUR HEART, AND YOU WOULD BE LIKE A BURNING ONE FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE. Hear me, FRIEND. YOU ARE BORN LOOKING LIKE YOUR PARENTS, BUT YOU'RE GOING TO DIE LOOKING LIKE YOUR DECISIONS.

AND YOU OUGHT TO DECIDE TONIGHT, I'M NOT LIVING NORMAL. I'M not living religious. I'M LIVING SPIRITFILLED WITH A RIVER THAT PROCEEDS FROM MY INNERMOST BEING. I AIN'T NEVER GOING BACK TO NORMAL. I BELONG TO GOD. AND THIS GOD BELONGS TO ME. SEE, every great movement starts with calling back to memory the stories of what God has done.

Maybe like many of you, I've been raised on the stories of revival. Like you, I've sat under the leadership of men who in many ways this world was not worthy of like you. I've heard of the great awakenings that once swept this nation. And and like you, I'm sensing in my spirit that God is getting ready to do it again.

Could Could it be that we are beginning to see what will be the last great outpouring prior to his return? Could it be that we are living in a generation that will not die, but instead see him descend in the clouds? Could it be that the earth is groaning and the generations are crying and the nations are raging and God will once again remember his covenant and pour out a blessing that we cannot contain?

Not every moment under heaven is created equal. >> It's been a hundred years since Isuza Street. It's been 70 years since the Latin outpouring. It's been 60 years since the Charismatic Renewal. It's been 50 years since the Jesus people movement. It's been 40 years since John Whimber and Vineyard.

So my question for you tonight is, isn't it time for an awakening of our own? Isn't it time for God to do it again? IS THERE NOT A CAUSE FOR US TODAY? If he answered prayers back then, he's going to answer now. IF HE PROVIDED BACK THEN, HE'S GOING TO PROVIDE NOW.

IF HE MOVED IN POWER BACK THEN, HE'S GOING TO move in POWER TODAY. WHY? CUZ THE BLOOD THAT WAS SHED ON CALVAR'S HILL, IT HAS NOT LOST ONE OUNCE OF ITS POWER. AND THE SAME SPIRIT THAT RAISED CHRIST FROM THE DEAD NOW DWELLS IN ME. AND IT EVEN QUICKENS OUR MORTAL BODIES.

I want to share with you uh tonight out of the Gospel of Luke and then switch to the the Gospel of Mark. They're they're they're both telling the the same story. Each of the gospel authors is giving a little different like idiosyncratic details about some of the things that are unfolding.

But it's the story of the power of of of Jesus that impacts a region and unlocks transformation for a city. I I want to encourage you tonight to dream the dream of God for this region, >> to believe God for for for for more than just a good experience once a week or a casual check-in at at a conference that you would allow your mind to think how Jesus thinks about this region.

And in doing so, align yourself with the priority of God in this hour. You the Bible speaks to the difference between a Kronos time and a chyro time. A Kronos time is like checking your watch to figure out what time it is on on on a Wednesday night.

But but a Chyros moment is a moment not just in history, but a moment that defines history. It's like where God will split the heavens and pour out something supernatural on behalf of a people that quickens the work of their hands and in doing so things that people have been praying for or believing for sometimes for decades.

All of a sudden doors begin to open, things begin to fly. Stuff begins to shift and it's like God, you know, people have been praying FOR THIS FOR 40 YEARS. WHY NOW? And uh I can't always explain exactly how and and why and and and and and when God works, but it's like Elijah going up to Mount Carmel believing that for the first time in like three and a half years that that rain was was was going to hit the nation of of Israel.

And all of a sudden, way off in the distance, he sees A SMALL LITTLE CLOUD THE SIZE OF a man's hand. and and and he says, "This has been the first time in so long that we've seen even a cloud in the sky. And I'm not sure oh what it's going to accomplish, but I'm pretty sure rain is coming back to a famine-stricken land."

And it was enough for now all of a sudden Elijah to run and to outpace even the chariots and the horses. Why? Because when he sensed in his spirit that the famine was going to break and the rain was going to come, it provided the supernatural strength within him to go, if this is the moment where the land gets refreshed and the people get redeemed and THE PROPHETS OF BAAL get destroyed and righteous LEADERSHIP GETS PLACED BACK IN, I'm not going to miss my moment.

And and that's just what I SENSE WITH THE CHURCH IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST. Like I love what God has done in other countries and in other states and in other cities and in other nations and in other movements, but I refuse to allow THE NOSTALGIA OF WHAT GOD has done somewhere else to be the THING THAT CAUSES ME TO NOT HUNGER FOR GOD TO DO A SIMILAR THING IN MY GENERATION AND IN MY REGION.

PETER PREACHES THIS IN ACTS 10 IN THE HOUSE OF CORNELIUS. HE SAYS, "GOD IS NO RESPECTOR OF NATIONS. HE'S NO RESPECTOR OF PEOPLE. WHAT HE'S DONE FOR ONE, HE WILL DO FOR ALL. >> Not every moment is created equal. But I feel like if the church by faith is willing to strike THE GROUND IN THIS HOUR, I'm telling you, it's going TO NOT ONLY PUSH BACK THE FORCES of darkness, but it's going to fundamentally shift what this region is known for around the world.

The Northwest was created TO HOST AN OUTPOURING OF THE HOLY GHOST. And you and I get to be a part of that. I want to give you a framework or a blueprint for what it looks like for the power of God to impact a land or a region.

It starts with a person, but there's a region that's behind it. It starts in Luke 8. The Bible says this. Then they came to the other side of the sea of the country of the gatherings. And when he, meaning Jesus, stepped out on the land. Immediately there met him.

Out of the tombs, a man with an unclean spirit, Jesus is on a boat on the Sea of Galilee, him and his disciples. They're crossing the sea to the other side to a region called the Gatherines. And the Bible records in the Gospel of Luke that as soon as Jesus steps out on the land, there meets him out of the tombs, a man with an unclean spirit.

Now, hear me, friend. You don't have to be a demon hunter. When you walk in the spirit, YOU'LL HAVE TO FIND DEMONS. THEY'LL FIND YOU. >> NOW, demons are part of the fall. But the better news IS THAT YOU'VE BEEN GIVEN AUTHORITY over them by virtue of the cross because when you got saved, you became POSSESSED BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD.

And in doing so, he reminds you tonight that the devil IS THE SAME PLACE THAT he's been for 2,000 years. HE IS NOT OVER YOUR HEAD. HE is not eye to eye. He is under your feet. AND HE MIGHT BRUISE YOUR HEEL, BUT YOU WERE BORN TO CRUSH HIS HEAD.

NOW, now we we're not afraid of the demonic, but we are aware of the demonic. But I want you to hear me tonight. You got to have more faith in the power of God to save you, than the power of the enemy to to to harm you. My job is not to be an expert on what hell wants to do, but instead on a kingdom that is advancing by force, doing violence against darkness every day of the week.

I I'm convinced that there are some believers in their own minds who have a really small Jesus and a really big devil. And I would just encourage you tonight to like swap the positions of those two individuals. You've got a defeated devil and you've got the lion from the tribe of Judah who roars in your ears tonight.

It's not a big devil. It ain't a scary devil. It's not how Hollywood makes it out to seem or to be. You've been given authority by virtue of what Christ accomplished on the cross. making a public spectacle out of the, you know, it's funny when I go and preach places that are not in in Washington state, it's almost like people always want to come up and almost like apologize to me for having to plant a church in Seattle.

And uh yeah, like maybe not the best idea that there's ever been, but I mean my life has sure been interesting the last 11 years, but I I tell people this. I go, you know, you know, for me, I JUST THINK ABOUT IT DIFFERENTLY. I you know I I feel like a mosquito at a nudist colony.

There's harvest all around. There's opportunity all around. There's lost people all around. There's darkness all around. And you know, uh I'm glad to like be irritating the enemy in a city that he thought he owned. THE CHURCH EXISTS to serve an eviction notice on the kingdoms of darkness.

The kingdom suffereth violence, BUT THE VIOLENT TAKE IT BY force and the gates of hell will not CANNOT SHALL NOT PREVAIL AGAINST THE ADVANCEMENT of Christ's church. I'M TELL THE ENEMY IS OPERATING ON BORROWED TIME. He knows there's a day coming where he will be eternally bound, cast into the lake of fire.

And every day uh that that that you get to live uh here on on earth below, you get to live possessed by the spirit of God which just irritates the devil because it reminds him of something that he lost out on that he'll never have again. >> And yeah, we we've experienced some things in Seattle, some some some things that I never thought maybe in my entire life I'd ever have to deal with or manage crisises that we've had to respond to.

Governmental interference, shootings at in our at our church campuses. I mean, you name it, I I've been I've been I've been faced with it. But, um, it's like the nations who oppose the Hebrew children in the wilderness, they hire a phony prophet named Balum to try to curse him.

And every time Balum tries to curse him, uh, instead a blessing comes out of his mouth. until finally the nations are like, "What's going on?" Every time you try to curse God's people, you end up blessing God's people. >> And I I look at that as like the covenantal reality in in which we walk, you know, Hey, man, you got to be really careful uh in in Seattle.

You better, you know, because we heard, you know, what they've been doing. You got to be really care. No, the devil's got to be really careful of me. I The devil's not wearing me out. I'm wearing him out. I've got a covenantal promise he doesn't have. I can rise on wings like eagles and soar.

I've got a word like a sword that comes out of my mouth. I got a blood that still speaks a better word. I've got authority. I've got anointing. I've got power. I've got vision. I've got ability. I've got strength. I've got a God who does not sleep, NOR DOES HE SLUMBER.

I'VE GOT THE GREATEST ARGUMENT AGAINST DEATH, WHICH IS AN UNFINISHED ASSIGNMENT. I'm not trying to tiptoe around the devil. I'm trying to serve an eviction notice. You've been camping in my generation, but it's TIME FOR YOU TO GET YOUR REAR END KICKED RIGHT OUT INTO THE PACIFIC OCEAN.

SEATTLE BELONGS TO JESUS. YAKAMAL BELONGS TO JESUS. KENOWICK BELONGS TO JESUS. PASCO BELONGS TO JESUS. SPOKANE BELONGS TO JESUS. YOUR FAMILY BELONGS TO JESUS. YOUR PARENTS BELONG TO JESUS. THE NEXT GENERATION BELONGS TO JESUS. THE PUBLIC HIGH SCHOOL BELONGS TO JESUS. THERE'S NOT ONE SQUARE inch of this state that he owns.

The Bible says Jesus set sail towards the region of the gatherings or the city of Gdara. Gdara was a city just on the other side of the Sea of Galilee. But it was special for this reason. Hear me. Gdara was the gateway city to a region named Dicapus.

The capitalist from the Greek word deca meaning 10 was a collection of 10 cities that was filled with Gentiles and dominated by pagan worship and false idols. It was a region that was filled with unbelievers, a territory harassed by demonic entities. It was a land void of any gospel witness.

And this is exactly the type of place Jesus wanted to go. And here's the good news. Jesus still set sail to go in the direction of lost places cuz he didn't come as a doctor for the healthy but instead for the sick. Jesus is setting sail to Gdara but behind Gdara is decapus and you're going to read about in just a moment the miracle that happens in Gdara.

But oftentimes in scripture, if you're a careful reader of the text, what you'll discover is miracles wrapped inside other miracles. >> And what you're going to see tonight between the Gospel of Luke and the Gospel of Mark is that Gdara was a miracle in the sense that it was like a domino that began to fall.

Because once Gdara got impacted by the power and the authority of the God man Jesus Christ, it would crack open decaps and 10 more cities would be caught in the wake of power that came upon an individual who needed it in a graveyard in Gdara. Here's the reason why I'm preaching this message to this church tonight.

Because I'd like you to consider that maybe, just maybe, what God is doing here in Kenowick is a miracle wrapped inside another miracle. And by that I mean this, what if Kenowick is like the Gdara for Hungry Jen? And it was the obedience to build this building and to have faith to raise this money and open it just 72 hours ago that God is looking for like a seed in the ground that there will come a day not too many years from now where you look back at this moment of obedience and you see caught in the wake of this decision 10 other cities that have been impacted by your obedience to do this one thing.

It's the miracle inside the miracle. It's like, "Wow, man. Isn't that crazy what Jesus did in Gdar? MAN, PASTOR VLAD and the team, did you see their new building in Kenowick? Isn't that awesome?" I'm like, "That's not even the miracle. That was the miracle that began the chain reaction of all the other miracles that have now followed in the wake of their obedience."

So, YOU OUGHT TO GET READY FOR ABOUT THE BEST 12-MONTH RUN YOU'VE EVER HAD ON RECORD. THIS WASN'T YOUR LAST MIRACLE. IT'S NOT EVEN YOUR GREATEST MIRACLE. IT'S YOUR FIRST AND THERE'S 10 OTHERS that are coming. I'm telling you, I I just And I'm not even saying this like as like a prophetic word in the sense that that you're going to have 10 campuses, but it won't surprise me.

I'm just saying like when God finds men and women who are willing to be faithful, you know, me and PASTOR VLAD DROVE BY THE ORIGINAL building on the way here. I mean, that that thing looked like a Somalian daycare. You know, I'm going to be honest. It I apologize to the Somalian community of Kenowick, but what I'm SAYING IS THIS.

I SAID, "HOW LONG WERE YOU HERE? 6 months, 9 months, 12 months? 22 years?" I thought, MAN, I'M GLAD GOD sent a man with vision to this city >> who even while he was in that building, he was dreaming of another one. AND I JUST THINK GOD CAN TRUST A MAN LIKE THAT, NOT JUST WITH GDORA, BUT WITH THE DECAPIST THAT'S COMING.

I'M HERE TO TELL YOU TONIGHT, DECAP IS COMING. Decapus is coming. GET READY TO STRETCH OUT YOUR TENT. THERE'S MORE FOR HUNGRY JIN. YOU GOT to get ready. You got to get ready. Now watch. See, Dicapus was completely absorbed in the worship of pagan idols. And the principal deity that they worshiped was Zeus, the god of thunder, lightning, rain, and wind.

Don't you remember what is happening just prior to Jesus and the disciples reaching the shores of Gdora? A great storm with wind and rain is thrashing their boat and Jesus is asleep. And the disciples think that they're going to die. And what does Jesus do? He stands up and rebukes the storm.

And the disciples make it safely to the other side. Jesus is heading to a region whose principal deity is Zeus, who they believe controls the ren, the wind and the rain. And it's the wind and the rain that manifests on the Sea of Galilee THAT IS CHIEFLY TRYING TO OPPOSE Jesus and his disciples from getting across to the other side.

The region knows what's coming. Its false gods are trying everything they can to prevent the breakthrough that's arriving. Hear me. If the enemy wasn't so threatened with your destination, he wouldn't be trying so hard to stop your journey. And you've got to realize tonight there's entire regions that are hanging in the balance of your obedience.

AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHY the enemy has tried so hard to sink your boat. And do you know what remains of the temple of Zeus in the decap region today? Nothing. >> But a fallen temple representing a defeated god. He couldn't stop Jesus >> and his little friends won't stop us. >> I want you to notice what the scriptures say.

When Jesus stepped out on the land, immediately there met him a man with an unclean spirit. Hear me, friend. You don't have authority in the land until you're willing to step out on the land. See, some people pray prayers like this. Well, God, I wish you would just take care of every obstacle before I ever arrive.

No, the table he makes for you is in front of your enemies. Meaning this, YOU BETTER GET COMFORTABLE GOING TO DIFFICULT PLACES BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE THE TABLE IS. THAT'S WHERE THE FRESH OIL ON your head is. And some problems won't ever get solved until the people of God are willing to step foot in places that other people have fled.

And I love that. >> I love that. There'd be other easier places to go, >> but the fact that there's a spiritfilled church contending for revival planted in the Tri Cities is proof that when people attach themselves to the hem of his garment and refuse to let go, God downloads what I call the spiritual gift of stubbornness.

I'm not leaving until God does everything that he's promised to do. And I'm telling you, if not one word from God has ever failed, then you can have great confidence tonight. My eyes will live to see the goodness of God in the land of the living. I was young and now I'm old.

I've never seen God's people forsaken. I've never seen the seed of Abraham begging for bread. If God said he's going to do it, I can build my life UPON IT. SEE, AS LONG AS YOU TAKE THIS BIBLE AS GOOD ADVICE FROM A MIDDLE EASTERN BLOGGER, the enemy ain't threatened by your faith.

But as soon as you decide TO BUILD YOUR LIFE OFF OF PROMISES THAT YOU CAN TAKE TO the bank, IT SENDS A SHIVER DOWN THE SPINE OF SATAN HIMSELF. THIS ISN'T GOOD ADVICE. IT IS GOOD NEWS FROM A KING WHO IS STILL SEATED ON A GOLDEN THRONE IN FRONT OF A GLASSY SEA WITH A RAINBOW CROWN ABOVE HIS HEAD AND A GOLDEN SASH ACROSS HIS CHEST. >> Watch the story continues in Mark.

Jesus meets this man. and he had his dwelling amongst the tombs. And no one could bind him, not even with chains, for he had often been chained hand and foot, but he tore him chains apart, and broke the irons on his feet. NO ONE, HEAR ME, WAS STRONG enough to subdue him.

And always night and day he was in the mountains and into crying out and cutting himself with stones. Let me set the scene for you. This man is so demonized, the village don't even know what to do with him. So they chain him up in the graveyard and abandon him to his own self-destruction.

And if you think that village was bad, just be thankful he didn't live in any of our cities today. We would have built a monument to his demons, given them each a Tik Tok account, signed them up for government benefits, and affirmed their unique identities by celebrating possession under the banner of tolerance and diversity.

Eventually, this man becomes so overpowered by darkness and bondage that his outside circumstance begins to mimic his inside reality. He lives in the tombs cuz death is all around him. He's wrapped in chains cuz bondage is all he knows. He's cutting himself with stones cuz he hates what he's become. >> Hear me, friends.

You can't medicate a demon away. You can't negotiate a demon away. You can't legislate a demon away. Every problem we face in our society today has a spiritual root. And until you deal with the spiritual substance of a thing, you will only ever address symptoms until you're too tired to do anything else.

And because we are so enlightened and educated in the West, we have in large part denied the spiritual world while attaching our hope to the material one. We can HAVE ALL THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN the world and Seattle would still deal with a homelessness crisis. And you know why?

Cuz at its root, homelessness isn't an economic issue. It's a spiritual one. >> You can have all the rehab facilities IN THE WORLD RIGHT HERE IN THE TRI CITIES. AND GUESS WHAT? Y'ALL STILL DEAL WITH A DRUG and alcohol crisis. And do you know why? Because at its root, addiction isn't a biological issue.

It's a spiritual one. And until you get authority in the heavenly place, you won't have victory in the earthly place. In fact, the Bible says no one was strong enough to subdue him. And here's the reason why. The issue isn't strength, it's authority. Yeah, >> you can have the biggest muscles in the world, but if you get pulled over tonight on your way home from conference for speeding or talking on your cell phone, you can have just one Mr.

Universe, bench press a,000 pounds, and when those red and blue lights are flashing behind you, the issue isn't WHO HAS MORE STRENGTH, IT'S WHO has more authority. IN MATTHEW 7, THE CROWDS WERE AMAZED because Jesus taught with authority unlike the scribes and Pharisees. In Matthew 28, Jesus says, "All authority in heaven on earth has been given to me.

Therefore, go and make disciples." In Luke 7, a Roman centurion servant is healed because the centurion tells Jesus, "I understand how this works. Just say the word because I'm a man under authority." Now, hear me. Authority is like bad breath. When you have it, you don't have to tell anyone.

They just know. AND WHEN YOU'RE ENGAGED IN SPIRITUAL CONFLICT, what is most evident in YOUR LIFE IS YOUR Godgiven level of authority. In Acts 19, there are seven brothers who lived in Ephesus and they're trying to cast out demons, saying, "In the name of Jesus, whom Paul preaches, I command you to come out."

But the evil spirit answered them and said, "Jesus, I know and Paul I know, but who are you?" >> The Bible says after that, these demons jumped on these exorcists and BEAT THEM SO BAD they left the house naked and bleeding. I call it the world's first diddy party.

It was a bad day in the city of Ephesus. But I want you to see this. The goal of Christian living is not JUST TO HAVE YOUR NAME WRITTEN IN the Lamb's Book of Life. It's to BE ON THE TOP 10 MOST WANTED LIST in the hallways OF HELL.

THEY SAID, "WE'VE HEARD OF JESUS AND WE DON'T MESS WITH HIM. AND WE'VE HEARD OF PAUL AND WE DON'T MESS WITH HIM, but who are you?" Now watch, watch. Hear me today. In order for you to have authority over something, you've got to be submitted under something. For we are not autonomous islands of sovereign authority unto ourselves.

And in fact, your level of submission determines your level of authority. When Jesus sets foot on that land, he is going to a place the enemy never dared he would even ever set his foot. Think about it. A Jewish rabbi is walking onto Gentile land into a graveyard and close to a herd of pigs.

That would be three strikes against the law of Moses that outlined what was acceptable for a rabbi to be involved with. These three things would have made a rabbi ceremoniously unclean. The enemy thought that he could use the law to outline an entire piece of land and people that Jesus would never dare set foot in and in doing so exercise his authority.

But the devil never met a rabbi like this. Come on. >> I'm telling you, Hungry Jen is exactly the type of church that's going to go to every graveyard in this region, take authority over every unclean spirit in these neighborhoods. Cuz the enemy never imagined that you all have the guts and the faith to take a swing at the churches you've planted, the things that you've contended for, the stuff that you've asked God for.

But someone somewhere heard the cry from a man in the tombs. >> And so a church like Hungry Jen is going to do something about it. >> Now watch what happens. When Jesus was still some distance away, the man saw him. The man saw HIM AND HE RAN TO meet him and he bowed LOW BEFORE HIM.

WITH A SHRIEK he screamed, "WHY ARE YOU INTERFERING WITH ME, JESUS, son of the most high God? In the name of God, I beg you, don't torture me. Now, watch. Peter, a disciple of Christ, doesn't even recognize Jesus as the son of God until Mark 8. Yet, an individual with a demon, correctly identifies who Jesus is three chapters earlier in Mark 5.

Why? Because spirit recognizes spirit. And the book of James says, "Even the demons believe and THEY TREMBLE." NOW, YOU MAY NOT recognize what is happening here in this church or what's beginning to happen all across this region, but I can promise you this. As sure as I am standing here tonight, we are beginning to see the promised outpouring of God's spirit once AGAIN IN THE NORTHWEST.

AND EVERY DEMON in hell KNOWS IT BECAUSE THE ADVANCEMENT OF GOD'S kingdom is putting them ON NOTICE. YOUR TIME IS LIMITED. YOUR POWER IS FADING. AND YOUR TERRITORY IS DECREASING. JESUS hasn't even said a word and the demoniac has already concluded. The Messiah is here. HE'S GOING TO INTERFERE WITH MY LIFE AND HE'S GOING TO TORTURE my darkness. >> Correct. >> Correct.

Correct. See, I think the devil's gotten so used to like religious institutions being willing to draw up like peace deals and negotiation treaties with darkness. Like you can have that side of the tracks, but we get this side. And you can have the bad side of town, but but we get the good side of town.

And you know, the church can advance, but it just can't do it too much because we've got to keep the power balance in this city. But when you got like a spiritfilled church that's operating ticked off at the devil, you got like a chip on your shoulder and you want to make the devil pay for everything he stole from your generation.

THAT TYPE OF CHURCH THE DEVIL DOESN'T know what to do with. ARE YOU HERE TO TORTURE MY DARKNESS? ABSOLUTELY. ARE YOU HERE TO INTERFERE WITH MY KINGDOM? ABSOLUTELY. CUZ I SERVE THE SON OF THE LIVING GOD. AND IF DEATH COULDN'T HOLD HIM, DEATH'S NOT GOING TO HOLD THIS CITY.

For Jesus said to him, "Come out of the man, unclean spirit." And he asked him, "What is your name?" And he answered, he said, "My name is Legion, for we are many." And he begged him earnestly that he would not send him out of the region. Did you hear him?

He begged him that he wouldn't send him out of the region. There was a legion in the region, but God was on the move. See, that name legion was a military term, meaning a unit of 6,000 men. I want you to see what's happening here. When the enemy gains a foothold in your life, he doesn't ask individual permission to invite all of his friends.

When he has an open door, he'll move in trauma, bondage, addiction, darkness, infirmity, stuff that wasn't ever even connected to your original source of pain. And if every good and perfect gift come from the father of lights, then what do you think the father of lies brings to those who he afflicts?

See, strongholds don't begin as strongholds, they begin as footholds. >> And as soon as the devil has a foothold in your life through an area of compromise, it's not like he's asking you individual permission to bring all of his buddies who are standing behind him. This man, when Jesus ASKED, "WHAT YOUR NAME?"

HE SAID, "I'M LEGION." cuz cuz we are many. Essentially, I'VE GOT 6,000 LIVING inside of me. Watch. I want you to notice something interesting here. Um, the demons begged Jesus, "Do not send them out from the region." Why? Because they were on assignment in that location and received their power from the agreement of the people in that region.

The demons don't care about the man in the tombs. The demons are just using him so they can conduct business on the region around him. But until you address the territorial strong man, the regional spirit, you won't have authority to conduct spiritual business. Jesus is greeted by a spirit.

And prior to doing the father's business, he exposes and takes authority over an entire region. And when a region loses its lid, all of heaven breaks loose. >> Now hear me today. You can't deal with what you refuse to name. Principalities and powers thrive on anonymity. See, the enemy wants you to call your sin a whole lot of other things, like a preference, like an accident, like an oversight.

And God certainly doesn't want you to dwell on your sin. But until you name it, you can't defeat it. Jesus asks, "What is your name?" Verse 11. Now a large herd of swine was feeding there near the mountains. The demons begged him, saying, "Send us to the pigs that we may enter them.

And at once Jesus gave them permission. Then the unclean spirits went out and entered the swine. There was about 2,000 of them. And the herd ran violently down the steep place into the sea and drowned in the sea. Then the people began to plead with Jesus to leave their region."

Isn't it wild that when people get free, when people get healed, when people get delivered, when people get baptized, the response from the people in Gdara is leave our region and give us back our legion. You know why? Um, and this is why Jesus often in the New Testament asks people if they want to be healed before they're actually healed. >> Because to be honest, some people develop such a familiarity with their dysfunction, they don't know how to live without it.

They're like, "You know, that man screaming in the tombs all night, we had gotten so used to it, we don't know how to live without it. We so monetized his pain and dysfunction, we don't know how to live without it." You know why the politicians in a lot of our cities aren't interested in actually addressing the crisises that they talk about when they run their campaigns?

Because if they were actually to solve the issues that plague our cities, THEY WOULDN'T HAVE A MONETARY stream of income coming from all the fake stuff that they act like they're doing on the outside WHILE THEY'RE REALLY BENEFITING OFF OF PEOPLE'S pain on the inside. So all of a sudden, THIS MAN GETS FREE.

HE STOPS CUTTING HIMSELF, stops living IN THE GRAVEYARDS, STOPS SCREAMING all night, and the response of the city is, "Leave us alone. give us back our legion. We liked him. >> Yeah. I I ran into this in Seattle earlier in 2025. I thought it'd be a good idea to do like an outdoor worship rally and we did.

And then, you know, other people who didn't think that was a good idea showed up and got all upset at people worshiping. And you you know it's spiritual when you've got like a bunch of like retired grandmas um like worshiping Jesus in a city park and not doing nothing, not bugging nobody and um two or 300 m individuals in black masks chanting death threats, throwing water balloons filled with urine, uh you know holding up all sorts of vulgar signs threatened because people are singing you know like shout to the Lord in in a public park.

It's not political. It's it's spiritual. >> And so, you know, I I saw a bunch of our people get attacked and beat up and crazy stuff. And, you know, like I'm I'm saved, but I'm not that saved. Like, if you throw a punch, you know, I'm going to punch back.

And we did. But, you know, that night then the mayor comes out and says, you know, we don't we we we we're we're against these types of churches in the city. They are opposed to the values of Seattle. And I'm like, "Yeah, you're dang right. We are opposed."

Lord is still working on me some sanctification. But I I said, "Yeah, you're right. You're 100% right. We're opposed. The the values of like free needles and fentanyl for addicts, >> the values of like leaving crazy people on the street because apparently that's more empathetic." Yeah, you're right.

This church has come TO INTERFERE WITH OUR DARKNESS 100%. YEAH, you nailed it. But when they put out a press release about us, it irritated me. So then, you know, the next day we rallied a couple thousand believers down to city hall on the steps. And I said, "Well, you know, it we're going to host another worship rally until this entire city recognizes that, you know, we're not the people that you can just threaten or throw a couple punches at and then we go crawl back into our our safe little churches."

Like God's given us dominion and authority and boldness, not fear, but courage, power, love, and a sound mind. I'm not backing down cuz I haven't come this far just to come this far. I have not. Hear me. You have not come this far just to come this far. >> There's more for you.

And when we were down IN THAT CITY PARK, I JUST THOUGHT TO MYSELF, "NAH, THIS PLACE BELONGS TO GOD. NAH, YOU AIN'T going to run us out of this city. No, this place belongs to God. And and and and and you know, when we responded that way, it all of a sudden kind of caused this disruption and the city ended up making national news.

In fact, international news. The White House got involved. The FBI opened an investigation into Seattle for, you know, violating the rights of religious community. I mean, it turned out to be a big deal. And uh I just thought to myself, you know, this is what happens when a greater authority interacts with a lesser authority.

Just stepping foot on the land puts the devil on notice. Your time is limited cuz there's a new breed of brave Christians who aren't backing down from the assignment God has placed on their lives. The town's people are in sense. How dare Jesus cause our swine to drown in the sea?

But isn't that the tragedy of the human condition? We want freedom for our future without having to give up things that are unclean in our present. We want to receive the freedom God promises, but at the same time keep the pigs that man provided. And what if I told you that even though bondage is wrong and dysfunctional, when it's familiar, it'll make you feel right at home.

Jesus cleansed a man by casting out a demon. But he cleansed a region by clearing out some pigs. And God isn't just interested in your personal freedom. He's after the graveyard that you've called a home. He's after the tombstone that you've called an identity. He's after the region that you thought was too far gone.

Let me end here. Verse 18. And when he got into the boat, he who had been demonpossessed begged him that he might be with him. However, Jesus did not permit him, but he said, "Go home to your friends and tell him what great things the Lord has done for you and how he has had great compassion on you."

And he departed and began to proclaim in Decapus all that Jesus had done for him. And the people marveled. I want you to see something in closing tonight. Jesus has the power to save people and destroy demons. He permitted them to enter the swine and in doing so they ran off a cliff and killed themselves.

The demons wanted to stay in the region but upon death they would return to the arid place. Jesus didn't just deliver a man, he freed a region from a stronghold that had held the gospel back. Now hear ME. YOU MAY NOT THINK IT'S A BIG deal when one person gets saved or one person gets healed or one person can get delivered.

But I promise you this, every time the enemy loses his grip on an individual, the sound of freedom echoes like a bell across the entire region. And that's what nights like this are about. I preach the way I do cuz I always envision my kid sitting on the last row giving God one more chance.

And if he ever found himself in a SITUATION LIKE THAT, I'D WANT SOMEBODY ON THE STAGE TO PREACH LIKE THEIR HAIRS ON FIRE like a region hung in the balance compelling people to choose this day whom they will serve. YOU CAN SERVE THE GODS OF CANAAN. BUT YOU'LL HAVE DEATH.

BUT IF YOU SERVE THE GOD OF ABRAHAM, ISAAC, AND JACOB, YOU WILL HAVE LIFE, NOT JUST FOR YOU, BUT FOR A GENERATION THAT IS A FAR OFF. CUZ THE GOD WHO BEGUN A GOOD WORK IS GOING TO FINISH THAT GOOD WORK. AND HE IS NOT DONE YET. NOW, WHY?

YOU WOULD THINK that Jesus ain't great at really building a crowd. The masses are gathered. He says crazy things like, "Eat my flesh and drink my blood." The crowds leave. Jesus doesn't even offer an explanation. There's no QR code. There's no text visitor to 33200. There's nothing. This man gets radically encountered by the power of God.

And he's like, "Hey, um, I'LL JUST LIKE START FOLLOWING YOU AROUND FROM now on." And here we have the miracle in the miracle that's beginning to unfold. See, I I I know you were in the graveyard of the gatherings, but the gatherings is a gateway to decapas. And if you'll see your freedom and your encounter and your revival and your experience with the power of God not as an end in and of itself, but instead as a gateway that leads to a lifetime of obedience, then there will be a day where you cross eternity shores 100% unaware of how much the ripple effect of your obedience has gone around the world. and you will hear the words, "Well done, good and faithful servant.

Enter in to your reward." I'm telling you, this church, your life, your obedience, your availability, it's like a gatherings type experience. God, I see you for who you are. I'm saying yes and amen. I'm available to you. Take the coal of heaven and touch my lips. Give me new robes.

Give me new marching orders. Give me instruction. I I make my life available for you to use. But I think where a lot of people get caught UP IS THIS. THEY GET BREAKTHROUGH on a night like tonight, but they never marry it to the follow THROUGH OF THE FOLLOWING WEEK.

AND IF YOU DON'T MARRY BREAKTHROUGH TO follow through, then you'll live conference to conference instead of growing in wisdom, favor, and stature with God and with men. One of the greatest tragedies for your life could be to come back the next year to the same place to hear the same speakers to hear the same songs and not have grown yet 1% in your relationship with God.

I'm here and I need another breakthrough. Yeah. Cuz you didn't marry it to follow through. If you don't marry it to follow through, YOU END UP BACK IN the graveyard. If you don't marry it to follow through, then you don't understand the WHEEL WITHIN THE WHEEL. THE paradigm wrapped in the paradox.

The miracle hidden in the miracle. The point wasn't just the gatherings. >> The man didn't start the gatherings conference. He says to Jesus, "Where? WHAT DO I DO NOW?" And Jesus says, "Go and find every one of your former friends and tell them this. Tell them this. Jesus had compassion on me."

Which means this. I didn't deserve it. Which means this. I DIDN'T FIND GOD BECAUSE HE wasn't the one WHO WAS LOST. GOD FOUND ME. HE FOUND ME IN THE MYY CLAY AND HE PLACED ME IN THE FIRM FOUNDATION. HE FOUND ME IN THE KINGDOM OF DARKNESS. He translated ME INTO THE KINGDOM OF LIGHT.

I SHOULDN'T BE HERE. I SHOULD BE DEAD. I SHOULD BE OVERDOSED. I SHOULD BE CURSED. BUT YOU CAN'T CURSE what God has blessed. I'M THE HEAD, NOT THE TAIL. I'M ABOVE, not beneath. I've got surely goodness and mercy following me all the days of go and find all your friends and tell them Jesus had compassion on me.

So where did the man go? He went to 10 cities. Watch. who only ever knew an angry god who punished people with storms. And 2,000 years later, the temples of Zeus lay in ruin, but the church of Jesus Christ still stands strong. If you'll marry breakthrough to follow through.

I felt it. I like driving onto this property tonight. I felt it. Oh, the lid is coming off the Tri City. I felt it. I felt something's shifting. Something's breaking. And it's, hear me, it's not that you haven't had breakthrough before, but there's levels to this thing. And like even driving onto the property tonight, I felt like that that like thing in my spirit that went, "Oh, this is a different thing.

This is a new season." And hear me, it's not just a new building. You know, and I know people say sometimes, and even I've said it, you you can stay standing because I'm done. But I I I hear people say something like new new new level, new devil.

You know what I say? New level, new authority. I felt it on the campus tonight. I was like, "My God, hungry J's going to take the whole state. They're going to take the whole state. They're going to have campuses in all the cities on the eastern, the western part, in the middle, everywhere in between."

I thought to myself, man, I'm glad for faithfulness in Kenowick, but what started here isn't going to stay here. It's going to be the greatest season under heaven this church has ever had and your life has ever had. Cuz you can't build God's house without God helping build your house.

I'm telling you, if you're in the room tonight, if you're on the team tonight, you're a part of a train that ain't stopping. It's going to every region to tell them, you got to meet a Jesus WHO HAD COMPASSION ON ME. Something has broken loose in the Tri Cities.

Something's broken loose. Something's broken loose. The devil overplayed his hand. And I'm telling you, I think when the church opened this building two, three days ago, the devil thought, I tried everything in my power to keep that place closed. I tried to make it more expensive than it should be.

I tried to throw all the last minute changes at him. I tried to tell him it could never get built. I think he had a panic attack and he doesn't know what to do now. But if you got him on the run, keep him running by. Keep on building by keep on going by.

Keep on planting by keep on dreaming by keep on giving by keep on serving by keep on growing. I'm telling you the building's already too small. You're about to walk in to like a neckbreaking boat sinking catch of fish that you're not going to know what to do with.

You're going to have to call partners in other boats to help you reel it in. The demons who thought they controlled this place, they said, "YOU KNOW WHAT? WE'RE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND STAY IN THE REGION." NO, you ain't. And Jesus said, "Oh, yeah. Yeah. You want to go into the pigs?

Sure." Soon as they went into them pigs, the pigs ran right off the cliff. And now this man is called, "My my life has changed. Now what? Now follow through. Now follow through. Now follow through. Even hearing the testimonies tonight, Bible clubs, what 22 different schools, people getting healed, people coming to Jesus, I thought to myself, it's working.

It's working. And Hungry Jen is like the tip of the spear of some of what's happening in this state. I can't tell you how encouraging that is for me being on the west side to know God has sent in reinforcements. You got to understand, it's not competition. It's collaboration.

It's not competition. It's cooperation. I'm just a boat pulling up to your boat that says, "Do you need help pulling on the net? Let's pull on the net together. WE DON'T GOT A LOT OF TIME LEFT. SOON AND very soon, we will see the coming king. LET'S PULL IN THE HARVEST TOGETHER.

CUZ IF IT'S REVIVAL or we die, I choose revival. IT'S REVIVAL TIME in America again. It's revival time in Washington again. OH, what a time to be alive. If you're here tonight and you say, "Hey, look, I'm getting fired up, but I don't just want to get fired up in like my heart or my mind.

I want to commit like in this hour to be somebody who follows through with the fire that God is placing inside of me." Like in order for this church to fulfill the purpose for why it was planted in the first place, what God knows to be true about where you're headed, it's not entirely dependent on one stage on a stage or one anointed man or woman of the hour who's got the power, but like a community of people who buy in to the message of a resurrected Jesus and say, You know what?

If it requires me to go to every graveyard within a 50 mile radius, sign me up cuz I'm not backing down. There is more who are with us than against us. They might have a legion, but I've got the God who commands the armies of the angels of heaven.

Greater is he who is in me than he that is in the world. I believe tonight like in a sense like God wants to commission you. And I I don't know where you're at or you know what God's doing in your life entirely, but but he does. And if you're feeling that kick in your spirit tonight, one of the most powerful things you can do is respond in this moment like and do business with God.

Cuz if you'll dare yourself to make history with God tonight, God will rearrange heaven and earth to make history with you. All you got to do is be available. YOU DON'T EVEN GOT to be talented. Like that's the beauty of me in the Northwest. I wasn't God's first choice.

I was just the idiot that said yes. And God said, "I can work with that." But like, if you'll give your yes to God tonight, I promise you, you'll be in for the wildest ride that your life has ever had. The call of heaven will touch your lips.

He'll use you on the stage of history as a voice, not an echo. And we're going to empty out graveyards. Cuz God ain't just coming for the gatherings. He's coming for the capitalists. And I believe tonight, like as we respond, God like consecrates a thing within us where it's just like, "Hey, here am I, God.

Like, if you can use anyone, you can use me. I I'm just here to sign up on like the anyone team, but I'm willing I'm willing to put my faith on something tonight and and capture a heart for this thing because God, I don't just want to go home with like my emotions stirred.

I want to go home with like a commitment made at an altar that I'll be a burning one in this generation. I like God will do that for you cuz my life was marked in similar moments and altars just like this. And you don't even have to feel it in YOUR FLESH, BUT IF YOU FEEL IT IN your spirit, it'd be a good night to respond.

I'm going to try to lay hands on on on on some folks tonight. We've got other pastors and altar workers are going to help as well. But like, I'm telling you, your life gravitates in the direction of the quality of impartation that you've received. And there's something that happens when you get around fire and and and you get hands laid on you.

You get the word of God prophesied into you. It you can't go back to normal. It irritates that thing inside of you that says, "I'm not living common. I'm not living in the cheap seats. I'm not just going to be a person in a crowd. I'm going to be on the front lines.

I'm going to give the rest of my years to following this Jesus. Whatever it takes and whatever it costs, I refuse to live normal. I'm going to tell everyone I know about a Jesus who had compassion on me." I believe tonight if if you give your yes to God, God commission you in this moment.

And he'd do exceedingly abundantly more than you could ever ask, think, or imagine. If you're here tonight, I'm preaching to you uh in a moment. I'm going to count to three. I'm going to ask you to come to this altar. And it don't have to be like long tonight, but but but I just want to take some time to lay hands on some folks and pray for some folks cuz cuz what God did for me, God's going to do for you.

And I'm telling you, this room is filled with people who have been like set apart from the womb. Like while you were in your mother's womb, like God shouted into your soul, I know the plans and purposes I have for you, says the Lord. PLANS TO PROSPER you with a good HOPE AND A BRIGHT FUTURE.

You can't go back to ordinary if God would be see it. so fit to light fire on the altar of your soul tonight, friend. I'm telling you, this region will never be the same. You're in here tonight. That's you. Here we go. One. Here we go. Two. Here we go.

Three. Come to the altar if there's space. It's a moment of breakthrough. But it's married to your follow through. And it's that stubborn availability in your heart that says, "I have not come this far to come this far. I want more of this God in my life. I refuse to become familiar with dysfunction.

I'm out of the tombs. The grave clothes have come off and I'm getting commissioned with the coal of heaven in my mouth to let everyone know the same Jesus who had compassion on me can have compassion on you. Cuz there's not one person so bound that the power and the anointing of King Jesus can't set them free, clothe them, and put them in their right mind.

That power is available to you tonight. Come on, let's pray. Let's worship. I say yes to you. Say yes to you. Oh, wash me. Cleanse me and use me for your gloryy. Wash me. Cleanse me and use me for your glory and wash me. Cleanse me and use me for your glory and wash me.

Cleanse me and use me for your glory. Wash me. Cleanse me and use me for your glory. me and cleans me and use me for your love. Me and me. Heat. Heat. Heat. Yes. Means me. Use me for your glory. Means me and me for your glory. Heat.

We want to begin to pray for physical healing. So, we're going to ask just to to step back just a little bit if you have pain, physical pain in your body.

And we want to invite you up. We're going to have our pastors right now. We're going to begin to pray. Lay hands on the sick. And we're going to believe for healing to begin to happen right now in the name of Jesus. No pain is too big or too small.

It's too much for the power of Jesus. Right now, I want to begin to invite in the pastors, we're going to begin to lay hands on the sick and they shall be healed in the name of Jesus. Come on. We're going to begin to worship. Continue to worship.
