How many of you believe in the supernatural power of the Almighty God? How many believe He still works like that today? We are going to deal with that question today and the question is there a mighty revival that will come to the church of Jesus Christ before His second coming? Is there Biblical evidence to support that before Jesus comes there will be a mighty move of God with signs and wonders shown to the world? If there is such revival coming and Biblical evidence of this then how can we be involved in it and do we want to be involved in a move of God such as this? Do we want to see blinded eyes open, the crippled walking, and miracles in the church? Do you think that will happen or do you not believe that will happen? First Bro Thurman will come to share what God showed him in 1998.

(Bro Thurman) The Lord revealed after 40 years of ministry and countless hours of study, what would happen right before Jesus Christ comes to the earth. In Genesis 6 is where it starts with the number 120 when God is talking to Noah and says mans days will be 120 years. That was talking about jubilee years. And ever jubilee year is every 50 years. 50 x 120 is 6,000. Then the 13th chapter of Mark, Jesus talks about it again. A contract with mankind to take dominion of the earth. He talked about a time in Isaiah 30:26 He gives us real insight. Peter picks it up again on the Day of Pentecost. He talked about a time that in is chapter 20 he gave us insight into what's going to happen spoken of by the prophet Joel. In the Hebrew it doesn't say last days it says in the days. Gives us an idea as to what the outpouring is going to be like. When God takes back control of the planet, at the end of the 6000 years of human history, by God's time, the glorious church will be here for 40 days. What's coming is greater, 7 times greater, than what happened in the book of Acts. More than revival, it is refreshing and restoration. One church and no domination. God is rising up that church right now today calling everyone to be apart of the glorious church. The Bible tells us very clearly how long it will be here. The time when the church will do the greater works in John 14:12 that Jesus could not do during that time. The spirit will be poured out on us without measure. Miracles will happen everywhere. Cancer will be healed instantly because that is the spirit Jesus brought that He began to teach and do that was to last through the last days. Get ready because revival restoration is on the way.

Reading out of T.L. Lowry's book, Walking in the Supernatural, in his introduction to his book he states through the years God has shown me he is the same all powerful God that revealed himself to the children of Israel as Jehovah the supernatural God that rolled back the red sea and miraculously delivered his people out of Egypt. He has not changed. He is and always will be a supernatural God, a God of miracles signs and wonders. But as great and wonderful as these miracles were to the children of Israel, I believe the church of Jesus Christ has not seen anything yet and the best is yet to come. It is going to be better than what the older folks have ever seen. It is going to be greater than you thought it could ever be because there is going to come a fulfillment of the manifestations of God. I'm going introduce to you how to be involved in the last movement. Some people are going sit and not believe. It is only going to happen to them that believe. The Lord has sent me here to get this church ready for the supernatural works of God. To be the beacon in Soddy Daisy that is going to tell people you have to come and God will deliver you. Dr Lowry's says, we are moving into a new a powerful time when God will reveal his glory as never before. Supernatural manifestations will take place, in other demonstrations of Gods power and glory we haven't seen yet. Miracles have happened today but not on the scale that is coming. Before Christ returns the church will move into a dimension and manifestation of His power and glory greater than anything we have ever seen. A great majority of the church does not believe that. The rapture is not a back door escape for those who are not living right. The rapture is not coming for the dead church it is coming for those that are alive in Jesus Christ doing the work of the almighty God. The Holy Spirit has said I want to give you what you believe. If you want a church that is dead I will give it to you but if you desire a supernatural miracle working ministry I will give you what your heart desires. I'm hungry. I want to see people get out of wheelchairs. I want to see miracles happen. I want to see the miracle of God to come to his church. Dr lowery continues, the church as a whole is not operating in the unlimited supernatural power that God intends for use to have. We have failed to come into a lifestyle where we believe and expect God to manifest. Only a few of us come expecting this. That is why God is not working miracles. We don't expect him to. The church today doesn't believe. They think it was just to the apostles. The God of miracles and signs and wonders is still alive. As you believe so be it done unto you. Dr Lowry compares the coming revival to the recent Asian tsunami that hit in December 2004is earthquake was 2.5 gigatons of TNT. The energy release so huge it caused the earth to wobble on it axis. It made a significant impact on the geography of the seabed. I believe what we saw in the natural realm has a parallel on the spiritual realm. There is a brand new move of God's spirit. It will radically change the lives of believers. The church of Jesus Christ will enter a new spiritual dimension in the greatest manifestation of signs and wonders the world has never seen. This will occur in conjunction of the preaching of the gospel, right before Jesus returns. In the next few years, I believe there will be such a demonstration of miracles there will be no comparison to the miracles He performed thousands of years ago. God will pour out his spirit in supernatural power to enable the church to fulfill there spiritual destiny of this end time generation of evangelizing the world. He says we must move with the coming wave of his supernatural power that will be the fulfillment of the sign of return of Jesus Christ and not to become overcome by it or left out of it. Dr Lowry says something must happen to the church to bring it to the position of power Jesus Christ intended for it. God is preparing the church to fulfill His purposes and to bring in a great harvest of souls. An awesome demonstration of Gods supernatural power will be released through the church to counteract Satan's stronghold on the world. Satan has a deadlock on the world. It is going take the God of power to deliver people from the bondages they are in. There will be more in heaven than there are in hell. It is time for God to move on this earth like never before. Here's the question, do you want to be involved in what God is going to do in the last days? Say God I want to be a part. As I began to read this and began to look at the word of God that's when the Lord told me to begin to position this church for the supernatural move of God that is coming to the earth. I'm not saying it's going to happen today or next week. We got to get ready for it. When it comes it's going to just sweep the earth. I believe it will be so great you will hardly be able to pray for God to do something before He does it. It will be a wave of His glory. People will unhook themselves from the hospitals and just walk out. They will do it without a preacher or a man. Just the spirit of God will move in hospital rooms. My God is an awesome God and can do what man cannot do. So I would say to folks like Rene and Marcene, hang on, hang in there, don't give up who knows when God is going to move on your body and make it whole. The diagnosis is so bad because the miracle is going to be so great. God will not share His glory with any other. What do we have to do to position ourselves to be inline with this move of God?

1. If you are going to move into the position of the supernatural working in your life, get ready for God to move on your jobs. Tim get ready. God's going to save them first and then bring them into the church. Tim will have to shut the worksite down because there will be a mighty move of God and you will have to stop to pray for people. Paul Lutrell will lock the door of the Wal-mart because there is something happening inside and people will be healed and set free. God is putting people into place, people like Janice Cagle. When people come through Soddy daisy and they see the sign and something will happen to them. It will make them feel better. They will try to find where it is coming from. I believe the churches that want to be involved, God will just draw people, and say this is where it is coming from, not a dead dry pond; it is coming from streams of living water that flow with the spirit of the almighty God. We must move to a new season of discernment in the body of Christ. We must discern. This is a new day. You don't do things in the new days the way you did them in the old days. Let's do things backwards. We ought to change that way we do things. Throw the devil off. Instead of sleeping you'll wake. You won't know why but you will say there is something moving in my dead body that causes newness. We must move to that new season.

2. We must move beyond knowledge into experiences. Have you experienced God? Have you experienced his deliverance? You know about God but do you know God? Churches know about Him but they don’t know Him. We are going to have to move beyond a God that can to a God that does. Faith is saying God will heal Tony Creasmen's fingers not that He could heal. That is moving beyond knowledge to experience. That is wanting to experience God. When are you going to get up and do something instead of waiting for Jeff Gann to do it? You are filtering your spiritually through Jeff Gann. It's time that instead of you waiting on man and not God some of us started moving. God uses him because he lets Gods use him. You want to run, God is telling you to run, but you are waiting on someone else to do it. It's time some of your should of begins I did. You go ahead and do it and quit waiting on someone else to start it. That is what God is looking for.

3. We must move to the place in our lives where we see every experience and circumstance as another opportunity for God to supernaturally intervene and work a supernatural miracle. 2-3% of the church believes in God. Don't you know God is going to bring Marcene out of that hospital? If you believe like that, don't pray for me. I want someone to walk into the hospital tell them they are fixing to get out of that bed and be made whole. I'm telling you how to get the job done. You are gloom doom and despair and listening to the devil. You need to hear God say there is victory if you will praise Me and glorify My name. There is anointing if you will praise God and glorify his name.

The gloom doom agony on me church is the hee-haw church that God doesn't need. He needs the church singing the power glory honor and majesty of our God. How great is our God and how awesome is our God. The hee-haw church is the donkey church. What Abraham had when he went to the mountain to sacrifice Isaac and he took his servants with them and they stayed behind and watched. The donkey church sets back and watches and doesn't get involved. God didn't design you to be a donkey. Take authority and power. And everything that happens to you if you go tomorrow and they say you don't have a job anymore your action should be thank God and God must be really getting ready to bless me. The Bible said the last shall be the first and when you put me down God must be ready to take me up. Turn it around and turn it upside down for the Lord Jesus Christ. In your darkest hour and trying time that is when He will show up.

4. We must move to a position of believing the word of God regardless of what man says. Are you going to believe man or the Word of God? The Word of God takes precedence over man or even over what church tradition says. The word of God takes precedence over anything in my life. That is where we have to move to. If you go to John 14:12 look at the context but as Jesus Christ is getting ready to Go to Calvary, He says, Let not your heart be troubled, I am the way the truth and the light. Greater works than these shall you do. I'm going to the father. Study that on your own.

Open up your bibles to Ephesians Chapter 1. When the spirit of the lord spoke to my heart. And he said go to Ephesians Immediately he brought to my mind the Thursday morning when Doyle Cagle read Ephesians at his breakfast table, knelt down and gave his life to Jesus Christ. When you are a changed man you don't care who says what about you, you know you are going to praise God because you have been set free. The man who tried to steal our church van got saved through the marvelous power of the Almighty God two years ago. But he is a changed man, not rehibiltated through the jail system; he got saved by the Lord Jesus Christ. I wonder if there would be enough power of God that if we left the doors unlocked and someone came to steal something, the power of God would get hold of them. Reminds me of that song, "I came there to fight but oh my that night something got hold of me". If Ephesians can change Doyle cage, there must be something in there. Ephesians chapter 1. "Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints which are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus: Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. Blessed be the God and Father of our lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessing in heavenly places in Christ." You are a blessed people. You are blessed. Just as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world. He saw Doyle Cagle kneeling down and giving his heart to the Lord Jesus Christ. "According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: Having predestined us unto the adoption of children By Jesus Christ to himself" We are sons of God. Not a soon of allah. But a son of Jehovah. Jehovah never tells me to die he says I want you to live because I live. "To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the believed. In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; wherein he hath abounded toward us" God doesn't give you the bare minimum. We are all the way in. poured out upon us. "Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence; having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself;" God said there is going to be an administration of believers that will work in the times. People will be hooked on so much sin; the church that God has brought to the last days is an administration suitable to the times. They say there isn't a drug on earth that God can't deliver you from. God is not going to let Patty and Terry go to hell. We are going to wrestle them out of Satan's hands. God's power is greater than the devil's power of addiction. Change the way you talk and think. Start looking at the addict and says that is no longer greater than the power that is working in me. The summing up of all things in Christ, things in heaven and on earth. The Holy Spirit showed me, when Christ prayer and the Lord's prayer is prayed, he says, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. There are not bondage people in heaven. There are no sick people in heaven. Let it be here like it is up there. Quit living in doubt. Because to you that have been saved, the kingdom of God has already come to you. If I had a card it would say Calvin Nunley, my earthly address and phone number, but I own a dual citizenship. I have a residence in heaven. And just because I haven't set my foot in the door doesn't mean I don't already own it. Paul says our citizenship in heaven. When we pray for that baby, Lord let the way it's going to be in heaven go ahead and be like that on earth. No tears, no death in heaven. I know it's stretching some of us because we are so bent we are going to live in misery to God comes to get us out of it. I'm just waiting on something else to go wrong with me. I'm just telling you what Jesus prayed. I'd rather believe if he can do it up there why he can't do it down here. God get us in a position, that when people start coming up here for prayer, pray that God is going to heal you. You might say that is a lot of new stuff to me and I don't know if I can embrace that or not but I'm willing to take one step with you, Lord whatever I can find in your word I'm going to embrace it. We don't know when those 40 days will start or what God is going to do before those 40 days. Pray and lay hands on people. When you go on your jobs tomorrow, when you go to those family members tomorrow, don't be in despair or be down and out. Because this wave of God's glory could start any moment. Could sweep through your home at any moment. Here is my prayer for you, that God would give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him. Do not concentrate on the miracle, concentrate on the miracle maker. Look to Jesus, don't focus on the situation. Always give God glory. I pray that God would give you the knowledge. You know of him but you don't experience him. I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened and spiritual enlightenment will happen. He has more than saved you. The glory of his inheritance of the saints is in you. You already own it. The power working in you that raised Jesus from the dead works in you right now.

Message given

"I would say to you, to activate your faith, activate the power that has laid dormant in your life for many years for it is for this day that I have deposited my spirit within you to bring my power and my glory to you in these last days"

Message given

"Embrace this spiritual movement I have given you. Embrace the Shepard that is leading you. He will be attacked, you will be attacked. But bind together and trust in Me. Because I will show you wonder and you will dream like you've never dreamed before. Open your hearts and open your minds and seek Me with all that you have. You receive My power, you receive My strength. Seek me while you can. Because you seek me I will not hold back. I will pour out everything I can give you. I will pour out love. I will give you strength. I will give you encouragement. I will give you the mighty move of the Holy Ghost."

We need to get on our knees right now and bow before the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. I believe there are those that up until this message today from the Holy Spirit of God, not because you are a bad person, but up until that point you wanted to believe but didn't know if it would really happen. But when brother Grady gave you this message God gave you a peace to embrace what He is going to do. To settle your spirit within you. I believe that God has confirmed his word in this house. Don't make the mistake that everything that we said has covered everything. I believe this is the beginning of God putting us in the position to do what he wants us to do. God has really lain upon my heart there is going to be some major disasters to this country, this church must be the one to step in as the care givers. Counselors, people that can put their arms around people. Resources where there is famine the church can give food. I believe there is going to be floods, earthquakes, and God will say to us there has to be a group of people in this church that will socially position themselves to help people.

::Bro Thurman. For two years, I have prayed almost daily God show Bro Nunley show him what he preached this morning. God has laid something on my heart that I've wanted to preach for 2 years. I prayed for the Lord to call the time and tell me when. God sent me here for this. I haven't told anyone but God sent me here for this very reason to help get the church ready I know that God sent me here for that reason. I've got some things to tell you. Tonight the ice has been broken in my life and I'm going to tell you something you've never heard. For two years I've been in the book. God has been showing me things. My heart has been turning upside down. The devil doesn't want me to preach these things. I’m going to reveal scriptures that will revolution your life. This is the absolute truth. There has got to be something supernatural to change the church. It's going to happen very soon. God is fed up with a lukewarm church. With people who just act like they want to worship. A brand new generation of people called a glorious church.

Brenda, I have seen you singing on this stage with the glory of the Lord all over you. It is going to happen. There is something in her that has never come out but it is going to come out in the future. There are others in this house, Debbie; the desire of your heart God is going to give it to you. It is coming. Hang on. Those nights of tears and weeping are going to turn to days of joy and laughter. It is going to happen. Sister, when I talked about the laying on of hands. That is you. You are one of them. It is going to come to life. That gift that God has deposited in you. Mark, God is waited on you for a long time, God sped up the process. When you step on the stage tonight, and off of it, you're going to know some things. You are going to be ministering to people, Mike, God's going to do what he promised. He's not forsaken you. Gayle, what God has told you is going to happen will happen. Stacy, God is going to heal you. There is not doubt in my mind. Keep in every prayer line everytime. You are going to take that plug out and be healed. God has put it in our spirit and because we have embraced it. I'm going to need your prayers; I know I'm going to be attacked. I want God to protect my eyes, heart and spirit. I don't want to let God down. I want to stay faithful and bold in saying what I have to say to you. Its 12:55 and you're still here, you are lovers of God more than self or you wouldn't still be here. Everything God does in your life, it begins with forgiveness. Your life with God began with God forgiving you. Your ministry begins with forgiving one another. If someone has wronged you, go ahead and forgive them and let God flow within you. Forgiveness flows to love and leads to joy and then the spirit of God working in your life. Renee I'm waiting on the day when your body is whole. God has confirmed it.
