Matt
Sorger: "Awakening:
The Invasion of God into our Culture"
ÂÂ
 Recently,
while I was in Texas, covering a lot of territory, I
found one ingredient was the same wherever I went. The people were hungry and
desperate for a fresh move of God.
The Heart of Texas Will Be Revived-- Awakening
The Heart of America
The Lord communicated His heart to me in a profound way
during my time in Texas. One night, as I stepped to
the pulpit, I was instantly caught up into an open-eyed vision. As the Spirit
caught me up, I could see the entire state of Texas. Then I saw a large heart
beginning to beat stronger and stronger; it was the heart of Texas. The Holy
Spirit spoke to me and said, "I am about to revive and
awaken the heart of Texas." He said, "When you see
the heart of Texas revived, the heart of the nation will be revived as well."
In the midst of this vision I realized that Texas held a key to releasing
national revival in America.
We are about to see Texas visited with a mighty move of the Holy Spirit. As
the heart of the Church is revived and awakened in Texas, it will then cause an
Awakening to hit the entire nation of America; turning the heart of our nation
towards God.
Governmental Authority Is Being Given to
Reverse The Death Culture
Dallas is a key city in Texas. There is a governmental authority God is giving
to Dallas to reverse the death culture that was released over our nation in Roe
vs. Wade back in 1973. As the heart of Texas is revived, we will see a reversal
of this death culture and the Spirit of Life released over our nation. Dallas,
TX is a key city for prophetic decrees to be released and to see a breakthrough
in the Supreme Court of America.
Three Groups Will Be Visited: Government
Leaders, Spiritual Leaders, and the Remnant
As Awakening is released in our nation, not only will it revive and renew the
Church, but we will also see a shift come as society begins to get radically
impacted by this move of God. This anointing and outpouring will reach into many
areas of society and bring great Kingdom transformation.
Haggai 1:7, 8, 14 and
Haggai 2:1-9, are key scriptures for the
Awakening that is upon us. God speaks through the prophet Haggai, for the people
to consider their ways and to build God's temple, so that He may be glorified.
In verse 14, the Lord ‘stirs up' the spirit of Zerubbabel (the governor of
Judah, and the high priest, Joshua, and the remnant of the people), to build the
house of the Lord so that God could have a temple in which to dwell.
As the prophetic voice was released, there
was a supernatural stirring that took place. In Hebrew the word ‘to stir' is "ur".
It means "to awaken, to stir up, to excite, to raise up, to arouse to action, to
open one's eyes". It means "to awaken someone from sleep and rouse them to a
place of action." This ‘awakening' hits three groups of people: the governor,
the high priest, and the remnant. The Lord showed me that there will be three
groups of people hit with this Awakening: political leaders, spiritual leaders,
and the remnant in the Church.
We will see the prophetic word of the Lord invade the government arena as God
opens doors for His servants to prophesy the word of the Lord to government
leaders. God's Spirit will even invade the Oval Office of the White House as
well as the Supreme Court. Many other political leaders will receive divine
encounters as God's heart is shared with them. We will also see the hearts of
many spiritual leaders across our nation and the world stirred with a fresh
moving of the Holy Spirit. Their main ambition in ministry will be to build a
habitation for God's glory in the earth through His Church.
We will also see the remnant of God's
people arise in this hour to offer their lives in a new and deeper way as a
living habitation for God's presence and glory. Kingdom pursuits will become
much more important and prioritized than just living a comfortable lifestyle.
People will even be willing to sacrifice, so that God's glory can have a
dwelling place in the earth through their lives.
Guard Against False Comparison and
Discouragement
As God's glory is outpoured and fills His house again, we must be careful not to
compare what God does today with what has happened in the past. He gave me a
prophetic warning not to fall into false comparison. In
Haggai 2:3, the Lord saw that the people were comparing the temple
God was calling them to rebuild, to what it was in its former glory in Solomon's
day. Haggai 2:3 says, "Is this not in your eyes as
nothing?" They remembered how glorious Solomon's temple was; how the
cloud had filled the temple so that the priests could no longer continue
ministering (2 Chronicles 5:14). An internal
enemy of discouragement through false comparison was trying to hinder them from
building God's temple.
As God calls us to build a habitation for His glory, we must be careful not to
put God nor how He moves into a ‘revival box'. God may show up in a way that is
very different than our preconceived ideas. We must be careful not to fall into
a false comparison (even with past moves of God), and allow God to release His
greater glory in the way He wants to do it. We must stay open and sensitive to
the Holy Spirit so we don't miss Him when He comes.
Greater Glory and Supernatural Provision
Haggai prophecies in Haggai 2:4-9, "Yet now be
strong…and work; for I am with you. Once more I will shake heaven and earth, the
sea and dry land; and I will shake all nations and they shall come to the Desire
of All Nations, and I will fill this temple with glory. The silver is Mine, and
the gold is Mine. The glory of this latter temple shall be greater than the
former and in this place I will give peace," says the Lord of hosts.
His promise is that no matter what the temple looks like on the outside, the
glory shall be greater on the inside! He also throws in there a promise for
continual divine provision to get the job done. God reaffirms that all the gold
and silver are His; He owns it all. We will see a great supernatural provision
for the Church to build God's Kingdom in the earth; building a place for His
greater glory to dwell.
God Will Invade Our Society: In Politics and
Media
There is a greater glory upon us. Awakening is about to hit America and the
nations on many levels including both spiritual and political. As political
leaders catch the heart of God, they will begin to rally causes that are on
God's heart. This is where we will begin to see the walls broken down once again
between Church and State. Not only will the Church be set on fire, but society
will be impacted through righteous political leaders. We will also see an
invasion of God into the media.
Jesus is about to be glorified in Hollywood and through the media, both secular
and Christian. New networks will be formed that will glorify God. The church
must be prepared to take the airwaves for God as a new wave of media outreach
and anointing is upon us.
This next Awakening will shake the Church and bring a great transformation in
our culture and society as the Holy Spirit empowers us to reach the world with
His supernatural grace and power.
Get ready not only to be refreshed, but
empowered for the end-time harvest of souls!

 "Shadow Boxing"
The Dynamic 2-5-14 Strategy to Defeat
the Darkness Within
by Henry Malone
$12.00
Book
(also Available on Audio Book--see below)
"Extremely insightful, yet profoundly simple, Henry Malone
provides clues to why so many people continue to suffer unnecessary heartache
and defeat. Filled with hope, direction, encouragement, and specific procedures,
I wish I had read Shadow Boxing twenty years ago. I highly recommend this
book!" - John Paul Jackson, Founder, Streams Ministries International
"This book is for the tired, the defeated, the frustrated, and the ashamed. For
the hurt and broken, those walking in powerlessness and fear. For all who have
found truth but are failing miserably at living it. For those walking in bondage
and limitations imposed by forces over which they seem to have no control. For
those secretly wondering why their lives don't portray the overcoming reality
God has purposed. For those to whom it seems a strong unseen hand holds them to
a course they feel incapable of changing." "Shadow
Boxing is a book that will change your life and give you the keys to seeing
your destiny fulfilled." - James Robison Founder, LIFE Outreach
International

"Captured"
by Alberto and Kimberly Rivera
$15.00
Music CD
The first three songs fall into the category of,
"...if I speak with the tongues of men and of angels..." or,
"...I will sing with my Spirit...", mentioned by the apostle Paul in
I Corinthians 13 and 14.
 Many times human words cannot express the deep things of our spirit man. The Holy Spirit Himself intercedes for us with, "groanings too deep for words". Hence, engaging the realms of eternity by simply releasing "sounds," positions us to go to deeper places in God through His Spirit, which "searches the deep things of God".
We carry inside of us the River, Fire and Wind of the Spirit, all of these earthly elements
to make the "sound of Heaven" or the "sound of many waters" mentioned in scriptures. As we release sound,
we begin to experience the atmosphere of Heaven, where we are seated with
Christ, our true position as sons and daughters of the Living God.
In His Joy! Alberto & Kimberly
