Carter Conlon from the historic Times Square Church in New York City. To change a nation is not back down soon as one person is as I know God is I know what he does not know what he can do. Thank you for joining us this week for a call to the nation with Carter, in Genesis 2612 we find I seem to be digging the well that his father Abraham had done years earlier, and when the Philistines saw the prosperity of God upon the life of Isaac by doing so they became jealous instead of drinking water from those same well and possibly prospering. Also, they decided to fill the wells with dirt to make the children of Abraham as weak as they. Here's Carter with more of the story with a message titled more. My there's a season in the Scripture, where there was a young man who was possessed by an evil spirit and the disciples couldn't do anything about it. And Jesus told them when they asked him why couldn't we cast the spirit out.

He said to them, this kind can't come out but by prayer and fasting. I thank God for getting back to where we should never left in the first place and Dr. per Dr. fasting back to believing that all of the evil ones to grip this in the next generation were going to believe God to break out power of hell believe God to bring victory and freedom. Once again I'm personally believing God for an awakening a spiritual awakening not only New York City, but all throughout this country and were standing with so many who are with us from various countries where your believing God for an awakening as well.

In urination we stand with you. I happen to believe is going to grade them time harvest before Christ comes one more time people turn to him.

I thank God for that with all my heart want to redo from Genesis chapter 26 is assured just for a few moments on thoughts on faith and prayer. Beginning in verse 12 of Genesis chapter 26 Scripture says that Isaac sowed in the land and reaped in the same year a hundredfold, and the Lord blessed him, and the men begin to prosper and continued prospering until he became very prosperous.

Possessions of flocks and possessions of herds and a great number of servants and so the Philistines envied him.

Now the Philistines had stopped up all the wells which his father servants a dog in the days of Abraham his father and they filled them with earth and Abimelech said that Isaac go away from us, for you are much mightier than wait and Isaac departed from there and pitched his tent in the Valley of deer are and Walter and Isaac Doug again the wells of water which they had dug in the days of Abraham his father, for the Philistines and stop them up after the death of Abraham. He called in by the names which his father and called them also. Isaac servants dug in the Valley and they found a well of running water there so important for you and I do understand.

Just as Abraham was, we are called to be a blessing to all the families of this earth were not called to be an argument were called to be a blessing recalled have something of God emanating from us and flowing from us that cannot be produced by anything of this world.

This was the promise to Abraham which of course was ultimately fulfilled in Jesus Christ being born from his lineage and you and I being born again because of the cross of Christ 2000 years ago on Calvary.

It's interesting it says the Philistines envied him no Isaac. Of course, is Abraham's son that he's carrying on this tradition of being a blessing to all the families of the earth, just like you and I are.

If we are by faith as the Scripture says the children of Abraham through Jesus Christ.

The calling on my life and on your life is to be a blessing where I traveled is to be freedom is to be hopeless to be life. This would be something sovereign that can only come from the hand of God. That is the call of Christ on the church of Jesus Christ were not called just occupy a seat somewhere in Houston to sing songs on Sunday and Thursday were called to make a difference in our generation and by God's grace were going to get back to the calling again in our time. Now Scripture says is the Philistines as a type of the godless who occupied the place were we travel were Isaac was traveling there regardless people are always will be godless people there people of the earth. The people that are born of another scene. There's something inside of them that hates the things of God. They hate the ways of God. They hate the will of God.

They hate God and the Philistines saw the prosperity of God that was on the life of Isaac and the envied him an interesting thing about the Philistines as Abraham was traveling in his initial journey he was digging wells and he was drinking from these walls and when the Philistines made the assumption that there's this blessing. That's emanating through this man that's called of God to be a blessing in the earth and through his lineage and limit the assumption of we just fill these wells of the been drinking from.

We can stop this power that is that is challenging our authority is challenging our power to dominate the earth. The children of darkness want to dominate this earth as much or more than the children of light. Do at times and this incredible thing you know water was a commodity in those days you need water to live in if there was a wall of freshwater for what heavenly reason would they ever fill it up with earth other than when I read this I have to assume that they thought this is where these people are drawing their strength from. So if we fill these wells with earth, then technically maybe they will become as weak as we are. You would think that they themselves would drink from the well but they had to recognize it came from the hand of God. Jesus himself said if any man thirst, let him come to me and drink it either believes on me as the Scriptures said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water, so the Philistines knew this, they sought and they knew that the children of Abraham were more and mightier than they were the children of darkness sometimes are wiser than the children of light. They know that we have a mic that this world has nothing they can't touch it.

They know it comes from God. And so to try to stop it. They have to fill up these places where we are finding our supply of strength or refining this provision of God's own generation, the Philistines of come in the filled up well of life in our schools.

They filled up the well of life in our colleges.

They filled up the well of life everywhere they can. Trying to stop this possibility people drawing from this well of life that God has provided us through Jesus Christ and then Abimelech said Isaac go away from us. We are mightier than we are. We don't want to dwelling in our borders is a recognition among those that are lost, that there's something of God that only his own people of access to and they didn't want their dominion challenge. They didn't want their darkness illuminated the didn't want their power to propagate evil broken and so they said go away from us and you and I are living in that kind of environment again today with the children in this world are saying to the children of light go away from us. We recognize your history. We know the places I do a drug from the past. We know the strength of God that has historically come to you and then yours and we don't want to interrupting our lifestyle. We don't want to interrupting our sin in our pursuits and our new definitions of right and wrong away from us. We get away from us while we take every possible sources apply and begin to fill it in with the things of this world.

It's the best thing that's ever happened to the church of Jesus Christ.

Thank God that we are finally being rejected by this world thing got bored with all your heart, hallelujah I want to tell you why it's a good thing this is Isaac departed from there and pitched his tent in the Valley beer are in Isaac dog again the wells of water which they had dug in the days of Abraham his father, for the Philistines and stopped them up after the death of Abraham and called them by the names which his father had called them as a church of Jesus Christ being rejected by this generation. By the grace of God were going to go back and were going to dig the wells again were strength always has been. Were going to start by digging again the well of salvation through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior were going to dig again into the victory that he won over sin, hell and death on the cross were going to dig again from that well is salvation and were going to draw from the well one more time. By the grace of God were going to draw were going to draw from that. Well were you and I are promised a new life in Jesus Christ were going to draw from that well of separation from sin and being separated to the purposes and the power and the newness of life that are ours rightfully because we have come to the cross and trusted in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. If any man be in Christ.

He's a new creation.

He doesn't need seven steps to this and 16 step to that pays a new creation, the spirit of God has come upon his life one more time were going to draw from that. Well the promise us the power to live a new life were going to read dig in and redraw the well of self-sacrifice that well, it says it is reasonable for me to give my life as a living sacrifice for the purposes of God.

It's not unreasonable. It's a reasonable thing for me to do is reasonable for me to take up my cross every day and begin to follow my Savior in the pathway that he has for my life is reasonable for me to drink it from that well of self-sacrifice that says I'm not to live my life for the benefit of myself on this earth but for the benefit of others. We are going to read dig.well were going to draw from the power of God that is found there. One more time to read, dig the well.

It's called the will of God, not my will but thine be done, not what I think mileage should be but what you have outlined it to be not asking Christ to come and bless my plans. Bless my image of myself and bless my own ambition but to lay that down by the strength of God and to take up the new life that is given to me and to walk in the pathway that he is set before me were going to read dig.well, and by the grace of God were going to draw from going to read, dig the old-fashioned well of prayer and fasting believing God again to break the bondage of darkness by the grace of God were going to draw from the well of victory. It's not my victory. It's not my strength is nothing to do with me.

It's everything to do with Christ in me who is the glory going to read draw from that well of victory and were going to march through this land one more time bringing that victory. Bringing that living water to everyone who thirsts were going to call out because Isaiah wants to know everyone who's Thursday come to the waters drink and drink freely as well some reason read to the name of Jesus, glory to the name of Jesus.

God God, Satan has told us to get away from them God's world no longer wants anything to do with the church of Jesus Christ because you and I are going to read the wells of our father rethink the wells of our salvation sells us as Isaac's servants dug in the Valley and found the will of running water there.

Hallelujah. Not stagnant water is running water is fresh water. It has and never ending supply doesn't go dry. No matter how many people drink from later on in the chapter says the Lord appeared to him the same night. This is Isaac.

It's that I am the God of your father Abraham do not fear from with you.

I will bless you and multiply your descendents for my servant Abraham's sake, so he built an altar there and called on the name of the Lord, and he pitched his tent. There and there. Isaac's servants dug a well they dug a well at that place where God says don't be afraid I'm with you. Don't be afraid I'm with you I will bless you, I will multiply you Christ died to give us victory were not going to settle for defeat were not going to whimpering to some cave and just hope it all goes away. No, just like David's mighty men were going to come out of the cave and were going to be ready to do warfare in the name of Christ.

The Scripture tells us the pitch the tent. There the golden altar there and they dug a well in that place.

God's promises to me will be true God's promises to you will be true and so will going to dig a well there are more than a rise up out of weakness were going to rise up out of self focus will going to rise up out of self-pity will go to rise up out of captivity to rise up out of this endless thirst that is never satisfied by anything in this world and working to drink again from the well of our salvation and we are going to be a mighty army on the earth one more time before Christ, I believe that with all my heart. Praise God. I believe it with every fiber of my being Christ will have a church in his church is a victorious church.

We are not destined for defeat. No matter who tells us to get lost were not destined for defeat and we're going to dig those wells again looking to draw from those wells. Mighty army in this last generation to take God's children, for the kingdom of God sake. I believe God is the strongholds broken were going to tear down thoughts that have exalted themselves about the knowledge of God and God is going to be God one more time consuming some heritage in Christ. That's what it means to be part of the church of Jesus Christ. Glory to God.

God glory to God, glory to God in the victory is to the hungry heart victory is not to the mighty, the victory is not to the noble, the victory is not to the naturally wise, although they are not excluded from know God has called themselves. Those of us who know we need a Savior.

Those of us who know we don't have sufficient strength to finish the journey before us. Those of us who know that the only way the selfishness of our own hearts is ever going to be broken is by the power of another like being lived out inside of us is going to get the victory glory to the name of Jesus were not going to let this generation die while we're still here city is not going to hell while instilling 200 people fasting and prayer in the city to darkness and neither are you going to stand. I believe God stand with me please, if you will.

Mandy would come lead us in prayer, believe God for a spiritual awakening in New York City is spiritually getting an American spiritual awakening. In other countries throughout the world but we are going to believe God were to stand on the side of faith were going to go home and doing whatever. Well, you got it. Did you get home and take it and I do think that well from the power of an endless life that is now inside of because of Christ Jesus. Let's you and I believe God old folks all it takes to change a nation is one person one person. History has proven that again one who won't back down one person is not taking no for an answer. One person is as I know God is by know what he is done not know what he can do one simple consent. 10,000 of life takes your family member. God said to the prophet Ezekiel saw that I should not have to judge the nation called was looking for was one person who would believe that he could still be merciful that he was still God's power was back darkness was falling, the testimony of God. God is one person to the Lamb of God message that we bring to our generation is that you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free but you and I can't bring that message if we are bound, we can bring that message if we're living in a place of compromise or personal imprisonment shortcoming. So the comes a point where we got the drink from the well of freedom. Jesus said that we should be free, then we should be free if he said it then that means is no prison door can hold us is no wonder the past can continue to bind us and harm us is no lie, they can destroy our future is no blindness it can keep us from seeing the will of God and watching it fulfilled in our lives. There's nothing the devil can doodle captivity that has not been broken by the cross of Jesus Christ. So I'm going to have something of the people are those that are with us online. The comes a point in your life when you just have to get up and say enough of this.

I'm outta here. Christ died to set me free from going to be free of walking, you have to make the choice you make the choice to walk away from ungodliness.

You make the choice to take that glass. It was getting ahead you make the choice to put that magazine will you make the choice to turn off the television.

You make the choice to not go to those places that are sapping away your strength. You make the choice to get up and get out and when you make the choice to get out God will give you the power not just to get out but you start drinking of something of his life. When you find out not just getting out to getting into something we ought to be a free people were to be a supernatural people were called to be a demonstration of the reality of God in Christ Jesus, not just an argument about menstruation. A bully is taught generation by God's grace to make the choice God gives the power we do not have to make the choice. Otherwise we're just hobbling into the church week after week, hoping to make it through to the next Sunday, and that's not really a testimony. That's the beginning of what should be a testimony if you're hobbling and you should be jogging on giving the Lord God, we sing a song in this church. At the end of every prayer meeting on Tuesday night. No more shackles no more chains no more bondage. I'm free. You make that declaration doesn't matter how you feel because is not about your feelings about what Jesus did for you.

2000 years ago. So you see God say, would you believe believe that you have the power. This is going to be an incredible moment in history. For those who have the capability of understanding it and laying hold Christ is, Christ is coming is coming soon. He's coming from. The threat is coming from God.

This is the son of man is coming some of your some very, very hard place near and restricted countries words is even dangerous to be a follower of Jesus Christ want to thank you for being with us and others that are in towns are lonely maybe there's not much in the way of spirituality in your town, your situation, your family, we want you to know that you're not alone. There's people from 100 aces who gather and fasting before you and with you every Tuesday nights and tell your friends about this permitting go online and take a look at what God is doing. You can look at the answers to prayer and you'll see the God's answering prayer in a wonderful way. Tell your friends about it, got on Facebook let everybody know about this permitting. Let them all know that God is answering prayer that Christ is calling to his church one more time. Amen and amen the message today has been brought to you by Carter Conlon from Times Square church.
