## Transcript

[0:00] Thank you for tuning into this message by David Entry.
[0:05] Every true revival is a product of the strong preaching of God's word.
[0:08] May you receive a word from this message that will spark a revival in you.
[0:13] !
[0:30] That release.
[0:32] Number one is their Holy Spirit.
[0:36] Somebody say their Holy Spirit.
[0:38] Their Holy Spirit.
[0:39] Yeah.
[0:40] Their Holy Spirit.
[0:44] An angel came to Ananias and said,
[0:50] Your prayers and your arms have come before God for a memorial.
[0:55] In other words, God has heard your prayers.
[1:01] Amen.
[1:01] Amen.
[1:04] God has heard your prayers.
[1:05] Amen.
[1:08] God has heard your prayers.
[1:09] Amen.
[1:12] And so send to Joppa for Peter.
[1:15] And when Peter comes, Peter begins to speak.
[1:18] And in Acts chapter 10 verse 44, it says that whilst Peter was speaking, it looks like that's why Peter came.
[1:32] Whilst he was speaking, if I told, the angel told him, send Peter, he will come and tell you what to do.
[1:38] In Acts chapter 11, it says, send to Joppa for Peter.
[1:42] He will tell you words by which you will be saved.
[1:46] Words.
[1:47] Acts chapter 11 verse 5.
[1:54] It says that he will tell you words by which you will be saved.
[1:58] So Peter was supposed to go and speak words.
[2:02] But in Acts chapter 10 verse 44, we hear that whilst he was speaking, the Holy Spirit fell.
[2:10] So this whole thing starts with the Holy Spirit coming upon somebody.
[2:14] Amen.
[2:14] Your real glorious face in God, your real amazing testimony in God starts with the Holy Spirit coming upon you and into the situation.
[2:30] The Holy Spirit when it was time for Mary to have that wonderful testimony that will change his head.
[2:37] Mary said, behold, from henceforth, all generations shall call me blessed.
[2:44] Wow.
[2:45] Luke chapter 1 from verse 47, 46, 47, 47.
[2:50] He said, from henceforth, all generations shall call me blessed.
[2:55] 48.
[2:56] For he has regarded the lowly state of his male servant.
[3:01] For behold, from today onwards, all generations, not only in this time,
[3:06] all generations are calling me, what?
[3:09] I believe from today onwards.
[3:13] You know, we all have a lineage.
[3:17] Your great-grandfather or great-grandparents gave birth to your great-grandparents,
[3:25] and your grandparents gave birth to your parents,
[3:28] and your parents gave birth to you,
[3:30] and you give birth to your children.
[3:32] Your children will give birth to your grandchildren.
[3:34] Your grandchildren will give birth to your great-grandchildren.
[3:38] Your great-grandchildren will give birth to your great-great-grandchildren.
[3:42] Your great-great-grandchildren will give birth to your great-great-great-grandchildren.
[3:47] I mean, it continues like that.
[3:49] There are things that have not existed in your family line
[3:52] from your great-great-great-great-grandparents.
[3:55] but it's about to start from today.
[4:00] Now I'm speaking as a prophet.
[4:04] Whether you have a child or you don't have a child,
[4:09] something is about to come upon you
[4:11] that is changing and is shifting the game
[4:16] in your family line, in your family tree,
[4:20] in the name of Jesus.
[4:23] Shout a glorious amen.
[4:28] Please be seated.
[4:31] So he said,
[4:33] Henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
[4:36] Why?
[4:39] Because he that is mighty has done great things for me
[4:42] and holy is his name.
[4:44] For he who is mighty has done great things for me,
[4:48] verse 49, and holy.
[4:49] What are the great things?
[4:50] The great thing that was about to happen
[4:52] at that time Mary was singing this song.
[4:55] Jesus was not yet born,
[4:57] but she said,
[4:59] Generations shall call me blessed
[5:00] and he that is mighty has done great things for me.
[5:04] Now, when did the great things start?
[5:07] The angel told her,
[5:08] You have found favor and a testimony is coming.
[5:11] But Mary in the verse 34 said,
[5:12] No, how can these things be?
[5:14] Because there's a problem.
[5:15] This, there's a block.
[5:16] This thing cannot happen.
[5:17] But angel said that,
[5:18] Do you know where testimony starts from?
[5:20] Do you know where testimony turns from?
[5:22] Verse 35, it says that,
[5:24] The Holy Ghost shall come upon you
[5:26] and the power of the highest shall overshadow you.
[5:30] Shout yes!
[5:32] So, it says that,
[5:35] The holy,
[5:36] the angel said,
[5:36] You don't have a problem.
[5:38] What you don't have,
[5:39] who you don't know is not your problem.
[5:42] It's if the Holy Ghost can come upon you.
[5:44] And today,
[5:45] I'm announcing to somebody,
[5:47] because of what is about to happen on your life,
[5:50] by virtue of the Holy Ghost,
[5:52] all generations,
[5:54] all generations,
[5:55] shall call you blessed.
[5:57] If you believe in,
[5:58] shout and believe in,
[5:59] Amen!
[6:02] Now,
[6:03] he says,
[6:05] even Jesus couldn't start his work,
[6:07] also the Holy Ghost came upon him.
[6:09] And the Holy Ghost comes,
[6:12] the coming of the Holy Ghost
[6:13] is easier in certain environments.
[6:17] Number one,
[6:18] in the environment of prayer,
[6:20] in the environment of prayer,
[6:23] especially when fasting has gone on,
[6:27] like in the collineous case.
[6:29] Number two,
[6:30] in the environment of
[6:31] Word of God being spoken,
[6:34] when the Gospel
[6:36] and the Word of God
[6:38] is being taught,
[6:40] it creates an environment
[6:42] for the Holy Spirit
[6:43] to fall on people.
[6:46] Number three,
[6:47] in the environment of desire and thirst,
[6:50] when somebody is thirsty,
[6:52] he said,
[6:53] he has filled the hungry
[6:55] with good things.
[6:57] When somebody is thirsty,
[6:59] blessed are they
[7:00] that hunger and thirst
[7:02] after righteousness.
[7:03] Matthew 5, 6,
[7:05] and then Luke chapter 1,
[7:06] verse 53,
[7:07] he has filled the hungry
[7:09] with good things.
[7:10] My soul thirsts after you,
[7:12] Psalm 63.
[7:14] The Holy Spirit works better
[7:17] or flows better
[7:19] in the atmosphere of thirst.
[7:23] In Luke,
[7:23] John chapter 7,
[7:25] verse 37,
[7:27] on the last day,
[7:27] the great day of this feast,
[7:29] he stood down with a loud voice
[7:31] and said,
[7:32] if any man,
[7:34] that is the condition
[7:35] for the Holy Ghost
[7:36] to come upon somebody.
[7:37] If any man thirsts,
[7:39] it's not for everybody,
[7:41] it's only for those
[7:42] who are thirsty.
[7:43] It's for the thirsty.
[7:45] It's for the thirsty.
[7:46] It's for the thirsty.
[7:48] Sharia!
[7:50] Sit down.
[7:52] And the Holy Spirit
[7:53] also flows well.
[7:54] So,
[7:55] what are the conditions
[7:57] that make it easy
[7:58] for the Holy Spirit
[7:59] to come?
[8:00] Number one,
[8:00] prayer.
[8:01] Number two,
[8:02] the word.
[8:03] Number three,
[8:04] desire.
[8:07] Or thirst,
[8:07] desire.
[8:08] Number four,
[8:09] number four is
[8:12] encounters with
[8:13] divinely appointed vessels.
[8:16] or so you can use,
[8:19] you can say,
[8:20] to make it short,
[8:21] appointed vessels.
[8:24] Samaria had received
[8:25] the word.
[8:27] Peter and John got there.
[8:29] They received the Holy Ghost.
[8:32] God sent Ananias
[8:34] to go to Saul.
[8:35] Acts chapter 9,
[8:37] verse 17.
[8:38] And Ananias went in
[8:42] because he was going
[8:44] for him to receive
[8:45] the Holy Ghost.
[8:46] Verse 16 says that,
[8:47] actually verse 17,
[8:49] he says that,
[8:50] the Lord who appeared
[8:51] to you on the road
[8:51] has sent me,
[8:53] the Lord,
[8:54] the Lord who appeared
[8:55] to you on the road
[8:57] to that,
[8:57] has sent me
[8:58] that you may receive
[8:58] your sight
[8:59] and be filled.
[9:00] That's why I came.
[9:02] I came for two reasons.
[9:03] Your sight,
[9:04] that physical thing
[9:04] has happened,
[9:05] but the Holy Spirit
[9:06] is about to fall
[9:08] upon somebody.
[9:12] Appointed vessels,
[9:14] and then let me add
[9:15] one more.
[9:18] Laying on the fence.
[9:20] Laying on the fence.
[9:22] When I talk about
[9:22] the Holy Spirit,
[9:24] I'm not only talking
[9:24] about Holy Ghost baptism,
[9:26] I'm also talking
[9:27] about spiritual gifts.
[9:29] I have a strong conviction
[9:30] that some people
[9:31] are receiving
[9:31] spiritual gifts.
[9:35] Some of us,
[9:36] your heart desire
[9:37] has been God.
[9:38] anoint me with
[9:39] supernatural gifts
[9:40] to do unique things
[9:41] for you.
[9:42] So I can accomplish
[9:44] strange things for you.
[9:46] That's one of the,
[9:47] one of the best things
[9:48] to desire.
[9:49] That Lord anoint me
[9:51] to do great things
[9:52] for you.
[9:53] And those,
[9:53] those kind of desires,
[9:55] you easily
[9:55] get it answered.
[9:58] Amen.
[9:59] Please be seated.
[10:00] So,
[10:01] one,
[10:02] to provoke testimony
[10:04] or to generate testimonies,
[10:06] it is a function
[10:07] of the Holy Spirit.
[10:08] Jesus said,
[10:10] don't step out of Jerusalem
[10:11] until you are endued
[10:12] with power by the Spirit.
[10:14] Until you are endued
[10:15] with power
[10:16] from on high.
[10:18] It takes
[10:18] the power of the Holy Spirit.
[10:20] Luke chapter 24,
[10:21] verse 49,
[10:23] and Acts chapter 1,
[10:25] verse 4.
[10:28] it says that,
[10:28] don't depart from Jerusalem.
[10:30] Wait
[10:30] for the following
[10:32] of the Father
[10:33] which you have heard
[10:34] of me say.
[10:35] And then in the verse 8
[10:36] it says that,
[10:37] you shall receive power
[10:38] after the Holy Ghost
[10:40] has come upon you.
[10:41] Somebody say power.
[10:42] Power.
[10:43] So he taught them,
[10:44] wait first
[10:45] because you need
[10:46] this impartation
[10:47] for the work ahead.
[10:50] You need this impartation.
[10:51] So,
[10:52] back to Acts chapter 10,
[10:53] when Cornelius
[10:54] sends,
[10:56] the angels
[10:56] asked Cornelius
[10:57] to send
[10:58] for Peter to come.
[10:59] When Peter came,
[11:01] when Peter came,
[11:03] as he spoke,
[11:04] the Holy Ghost
[11:05] fell upon them.
[11:06] In Acts chapter 11,
[11:08] verse 15,
[11:09] it says that,
[11:10] and when I speak,
[11:12] as I was speaking,
[11:13] it says that,
[11:14] as I began to speak,
[11:15] the Holy Ghost
[11:16] fell on them
[11:17] as upon us
[11:18] at the beginning.
[11:23] Acts chapter 19,
[11:25] verse 2.
[11:26] Paul,
[11:27] having met
[11:27] some disciples,
[11:29] asked them,
[11:30] have you received
[11:31] the Holy Ghost
[11:32] since you believed?
[11:33] Have you received?
[11:35] And they said,
[11:35] we don't know
[11:36] because after you believe,
[11:38] the first thing,
[11:39] the next thing
[11:40] that must happen
[11:41] is the Holy Spirit.
[11:42] In Acts chapter 8,
[11:44] verse 14,
[11:45] when the apostles
[11:46] in Jerusalem
[11:46] heard that Samaria
[11:48] has received the word,
[11:49] they sent,
[11:51] apostles who heard
[11:51] that Jerusalem
[11:52] heard that Samaria
[11:53] has received the word,
[11:54] they sent unto them
[11:57] Peter and John,
[11:58] who,
[11:58] when they came,
[12:00] prayed that what?
[12:02] That was the main reason
[12:03] why they came.
[12:05] Because after you
[12:06] have been born again,
[12:07] the next step
[12:08] is Holy Ghost baptism.
[12:12] Acts chapter 10,
[12:14] verse 45.
[12:15] But those of the Christian
[12:16] who have been,
[12:17] as many as came,
[12:18] because,
[12:18] were astonished
[12:20] because the Holy Spirit
[12:22] has been poured out
[12:22] on the Gentiles also.
[12:24] How did they know?
[12:25] The next verse says that
[12:26] because they heard them,
[12:27] for they heard them
[12:28] speak with tongues
[12:28] and prophesy.
[12:29] Simon the Sosha,
[12:30] how did he know
[12:31] that the people
[12:31] have received
[12:32] the Holy Spirit?
[12:33] The Bible says
[12:34] in verse 18
[12:35] of Acts chapter,
[12:36] let's start from verse 17,
[12:38] Acts chapter 8,
[12:39] and when they had laid,
[12:40] and then we laid
[12:41] their hands on them
[12:41] and they received
[12:42] the Holy Spirit.
[12:43] Then verse 18 says,
[12:44] when Simon saw
[12:46] that through the laying on
[12:48] of the apostle signs,
[12:49] the Holy Ghost was given.
[12:50] What was the initial
[12:51] outward evidence
[12:52] that people could see?
[12:54] Do you understand that?
[12:55] They could see
[12:56] when they saw,
[12:57] oh wow,
[12:58] something has happened.
[12:58] Oh wow,
[12:59] today a wow factor
[13:00] is about to happen
[13:01] in somebody's life.
[13:03] When they saw it,
[13:04] when someone saw it,
[13:06] said,
[13:06] ah,
[13:07] I also want this thing,
[13:08] that whoever
[13:08] I lay hands on,
[13:10] they will also receive it.
[13:12] Hallelujah.
[13:13] And so,
[13:13] there's always
[13:14] an initial
[13:14] outward evidence
[13:15] by Acts chapter 19,
[13:17] verse 6 says that,
[13:19] and when Paul had laid
[13:20] his hands upon them,
[13:21] the Holy Spirit
[13:21] fed upon them
[13:22] and what happened?
[13:23] They began to speak
[13:24] with tongues
[13:25] and prophesied
[13:26] Acts chapter 2,
[13:27] verse 4,
[13:28] they were all filled
[13:29] with the Holy Spirit
[13:30] and they began
[13:31] to speak with tongues.
[13:32] Hallelujah.
