The Church Part 7
Pastor Kerry Wilson
• I will not be deceived
• I do have a song
• Jesus is coming
• I will make myself “known” for who I am…
• My enemies will fall at my feet…
• “Shaking”, or upheaval always produces at
least three things in the people of God. The
first of these is “reflection”, a questioning of
what in the world is going on. The second is
“repentance”, which is a turning around where
needed, and the third is “restoration” which is
an active participation in finishing the work.
• The cycle of the prophetic past often reveals to
us the prophetic present. How did we get
where we are right now.
• Knowing the prophetic present helps us to
know the future. In another words, we know
that the church is never going to go into
“another dark age”. The prophecy found in
Isaiah 60 or the “arise, shine” and the “glory of
God” is here.
• The prophetic present, in my eyes, is about who
is and who isn’t. I am amazed at the proven
cycles of humanity and yet here we are.
• The basic heresies of the New Testament are still
here, but this is the fact of it, there is a group of
“you” that are going to “know” Jesus and turn
this world upside down.
• From this time forward the church or you
specifically are moving on to perfection..
• The spirit of confusion
• A. Origin
• B. Time Span
• This generation will not have the option to
wander, remain in unbelief, compromise.
• Why, because the prophetic future is upon us, if
we fail as an individual, we will become subject
to delusion. Delusion that leads to destruction.
We must get it right now!
• Jeremiah 1
• But the LORD said to me:
“ Do not say, ‘I am a youth,’
For you shall go to all to whom I send you,
And whatever I command you, you shall speak.
8 Do not be afraid of their faces,
For I am with you to deliver you,” says the LORD.
• 9Then the LORD put forth His hand and touched my mouth,
and the LORD said to me:
“ Behold, I have put My words in your mouth.
10 See, I have this day set you over the nations and over the
kingdoms,
To root out and to pull down,
To destroy and to throw down,
To build and to plant.”
• 17
“ Therefore prepare yourself and arise,
And speak to them all that I command you.
Do not be dismayed before their faces,
Lest I dismay you before them.
18 For behold, I have made you this day
A fortified city and an iron pillar,
• And bronze walls against the whole land—
Against the kings of Judah,
Against its princes,
Against its priests,
And against the people of the land.
19 They will fight against you,
But they shall not prevail against you.
For I am with you,” says the LORD, “to
deliver you.”
• The split over the “YOKE”
• There has always been battles in God’s people
over the yoke.
• I believe there are two churches inside the
church, I also believe that the Spirit of God is
going to raise up young men and women who
will participate in the vision of Jesus for the
church.

• The Gospel and the Power
• 8 But you shall receive power when the Holy
Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be
witnesses to Me[a] in Jerusalem, and in all
Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the
earth.”
• You see the “power “ that we covet is directly
related to the gospel that we preach
• You are this gospel, every allegory used in the
New Testament concerning the church has to
do with multiplying or growing. The vine, the
olive tree etc.
• The power will come when this gospel is
preached and lived.
• I am going to examine myself
• I am going to grow this year
• I am going to populate the kingdom
• I am going to walk in power
