Old Burnt Stones And A New Wall

10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

11 And such were some of you: (but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God).

Such were some of you: The truth is; most of us weren't top shelf of societies who's who's to tell the truth some of us were the bottom of the barrel.

How many remember the mess you were in when God found you and picked you up? Some of you were drunk, some of you were high on dope, some of you were unfaithful to your spouse, some of you were behind bars, some of you were liars, cheaters, theives, and fornicators.

I know most of you tonight you're looking good, smelling good, got some money in your pocket, most of you drove here in a decent car, your eating good.

But the truth is, you weren't always this pretty, you didn't always have it together,

The truth is some of us, some of you got some ugly stuff in your past and the truth is if God was looking for perfect people you wouldn't have made the cut, I wouldn't have made the cut.

If God was looking for nice prim and proper people who never did anything wrong you would have been eliminated.

And if God was only accepting good people who never broke the law never cheated, never lied, never stole, never abused their bodies, never been abused by somebody else, you and I would have been rejected.

such were some of you

such were some of us

But God, but God loved us, but God had mercy on us, but God forgave us, but God delivered us, cleansed us

God didn’t go down to perfect street to choose his material

He came down to the rubbish, the heaps, the trash piles of life and he picked up the broken and the bruised the wounded and the burned, the most used and abused.

And he said this is what I'll use to build my wall.

This is what I’ll use to build my church.

*I'll take these old burn stones and I'll build a new wall*

I don't care where you came from in this life or where you’ve been or what you’ve been through

2 Co 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ he is a new creature old things are passed away behold all things are become new.

There's a spirit of revival in the land.

God is pouring out his spirit in unprecedented ways

There are signs and wonders and miracles being poured out today: But its not going to happen everywhere

There are going to be churches that are flooded with the glory of God

They’re going to be known as hot spots for revival’ the fire of God is going to fall in those places, miracles healing and deliverance will be common occurrences

But other churches are going to be dry, drought-stricken, barren places, no presence of God, no supernatural moves of God or visitations.

Why, what's the difference?

The answer is, the move of God is coming to where they have prepared for it.

It's coming to a people who have cleared the way for it

It’s coming to a people who are hungry for it

It’s coming to a people who are desperate for it.
