Philip Anthony Mitchell — Send Me Lord — VOUSCon 2025

Hey, it's Dakota. Welcome to VU Friends and Family, a place for leaders just like you to grow, develop and be encouraged. Today, we're going to be hearing a life-changing message from Pastor Philip Anthony Mitchell from Meeting Two of VUConn 2025. I can't wait for you to hear it, but I'm also excited that we're going to be back in the Wasco Arena for VUConn 2026, June 10th through the 14th, and you need to be there. You can go to VUConn.com to get signed up. But for right now, let's dive into this word together. Before I jump into this word, I want you to hear my heart carefully. Everywhere I go around the nation, I'm trying to warn, hear the word, warn as many followers as possible that time is running out on us. No, hear me, I'm serious. I'm not playing around with you. Just like there's a clock in this room counting backwards somewhere, hear me, God has set a clock on humanity. No, I'm serious, and it is counting backwards to the end of the age and it will strike zero. And the only question that matters is if you're alive at that time is, will you be found faithful when that clock hits zero? At some point in time, we got to stop playing around with your Christian walk. We can't keep coming into rooms like this and running out of rooms like this and remain the same. You can't keep thinking because you're young, you have all this time in the world, or because you're old, you still don't have a calling. Now is the hour to be right. Now is the hour to run after Christ with your whole heart. Now is the hour. And everywhere I go, I'm trying to fill the nation with this message. If it was the last thing I preached before I died, I'll fill the whole country with this message.

And when the Word of God goes forth, do not think it's for the person next to you. No, when the Word of God goes forth, I want you to hear that the Word is for you. It's not for the person next to you, no. When the Holy Spirit speaks, He's talking to you and trying to minister to you and trying to get a hold of you. So this is more than a conference, it's a cataclysmic moment in history that we can shake the nation together if we leave here and go back to our cities alive and on fire for the Lord Jesus Christ, man. So Father, in the name of the Holy One, I pray that as your Word goes forth, God, it would do great work in the hearts of your sons and daughters. I pray you would move up and down these aisles from the floor to the rafters and that you would arrest the attention of my brothers and sisters. I pray you would drive away every distraction, every thought that does not matter, thoughts of restaurants, thoughts of what we're going to do after this, thoughts of everything that does not matter except this Kairos moment. We come against every demonic force that's await against this conference, against VU, against Richard D.C. We speak the blood over this ministry. We speak a covering over this ministry. We pray, had your protection around this great ministry. I had your protection around my friend, Manu, that mighty voice in this generation, my sister and co-laborer in the body of Christ. We pray this Word would not fall on deaf ears, but on the ground of good hearts. that it would bear a harvest, some 30, 60, or 100 full. And Lord, I pray you would help your servant, this weakened earthen vessel, to proclaim this word to my brothers and sisters. I ask in the mighty, look up that word. And the majestic, look up that word. And the matchless, look up that word.

Name of our soon-coming king, the Lord Jesus Christ. And all of God's people shouted and say hallelujah. To be seated. This morning, in my hotel room, I rose long before the sun came up. And I slipped out of my bed and got one of them fancy hotel towels and I threw it on the floor. I always do that. And I laid out on that floor and put another towel over my head and put my Bible on the floor. And I began to cry out to the Lord Jesus Christ, shedding tears on that Bible. And as I was praying this morning, I shed tears over you. I shed tears over every single person in this room. I shed tears over the pastors that are in this room. I shed tears over the worship leaders that are in this room. I shed tears over the spiritual leaders that are in this room. I shed tears over the brothers and sisters that's in this room. And I thought about all of the brokenness in this room. I thought about all of the idols that are in this room. I thought about all the people in this room who don't have vision, who cannot see, who are living their Christian life blinded from what God has truly called them to do. I thought about Helen Keller, that blind and deaf woman who got a bachelor's degree who said

that the only thing worse than being born blind is being born with sight and having no vision. And I think she spoke prophetically of the Christian church in this hour, that we are doing conferences without vision. And we're doing Sunday morning without vision. We're building ministries without vision. We're pursuing husbands and wives without vision. And all around this country right now, we got spiritual leaders on platforms without vision, and people sitting in chairs, listening to the doctrines of demons because you don't even have enough vision to discern truth from a lie. And we think because something is big or because it got a big following or because it's famous, we think it has been affirmed by God and the devil is a lie. He empowers his imps too. And what the church needs right now in this hour, hear me, we need to be able to see, we need vision right now in this hour. Man, I thought about the fact how right now as I'm talking to you on this platform, how God is moving the pieces of global things and events all around the world, preparing the world for the coming of the Antichrist and the rise of a new world order, preparing the world for the return of his son. Right now, as I'm talking to you on this stage, hear me, the headlines of the news are reading

right out of the pages of the scriptures and believers are not even paying attention. So we keep playing church while God is trying to prepare us for the end. No, I'm talking to you. We play in conferences and play in church while God is trying to, listen, raise up a remnant in this hour. I know there's a remnant in this room this morning. I see some of y'all looking at me like, you don't want me here. I know what you want. You want entertainment. You want to be told every Sunday that you're awesome. You want somebody to prophesy to you about all the blessings that God is about to bestow on your sinful, wretched life. Lies of the devil. No, what we need, we need to be awakened. What we need, we need to be confronted. What we need, we need the conviction of the Holy Spirit. Be poured out on us We need to be convicted we need to be awakened that God can do in you what he's always wanted to do You ain't waiting on God for some of you he's waiting on you No, I won't shut up I I Didn't come here to make friends or to be liked I came here to tell you dust says the Lord I Don't care What we need hear me this ain't no sermon What we need in this hour my young brothers and sisters and senior brothers and sisters

We need all around this country. We need to be awakened We need our eyes to be open hear me. We need something like scales to fall off our eyes That we can see clearly and it's with our sight We'll be able to run into the future of everything the Lord has in store for you. What we need is what Isaiah saw Young 20 year old Isaiah Before he was a great prophet Before he wrote anything that's preserved in Scriptures Isaiah saw something that radically Transformed his life and I believe I'm gonna fill the nation with this message that we need to see what Isaiah saw And we can't keep talking about revivals and having dead Conferences dead Sunday morning services dead sermons dead worship sets dead preachers dead worship leaders Dead Christians if we don't get a revelation of what Isaiah saw Long before he was a prophet Isaiah around the age of 20 wrote in a journal These powerful words preserved for us in Isaiah chapter 6 and verse 1. He said in the year that King Uzziah died I Saw the Lord we're high and lifted up and the train of his robe filled the temple stop Isaiah said in the year that King Uzziah died I Saw something that changed my life. My prayer is you will see the same in this arena this morning Isaiah punctuates This moment that changed his life With a counter about a man who died named King Uzziah King Uzziah was a godly man until the end of his life He came to power over the nation of Judah at the age of 16 He reigned over the nation for 52 years When he started smelling himself when he got prideful and arrogant he lost his way I Say who's 20 this is all he knows

This is the only voice of leadership. He knows For 52 years this man reigned from the time Isaiah was born until the time this man died. This is the only voice he knows the nation would exalt this man almost like a type of idol and Then Isaiah says in the year this man died I saw the Lord watch in the year this idol King died he saw the real king Watch and I want you to see in the text that there was a correlation between death and sight That sometimes things must die in Order for us to see and There are many of us who don't have vision because there's things that's alive in you That needs to die in order for you to see No, I'm telling you the truth. There are pastors in this room You have delusions of grandeur and that has to die in order for you to see. I Know what it is to be a pastor for 10 years with delusions of grandeur Just want to be famous Just want a big Instagram following just want a big budget Just want a big church all of that in my heart while the Lord never breathed on that ministry Until I put all of that on the altar and it died See there's some pastor in this room all you dream about is fame and status and because of that you see people like Rich Wilkerson and your heart is full of jealousy and You see people like Philip Anthony Mitchell and your heart is full of jealousy I want to encourage you to get free from that, man, to kill that stuff in your heart. God will do more with a pure heart than with all of that vanity in your heart. I don't care. I may not come back next year. I don't know if they'll bring me back. I'm going to say everything I got to say right now. How rich is my man? You got worship leaders in here. All you think about is who's going to sing your songs on the radio.

You're trying to write songs with no altar, trying to write songs with no scriptures. Man, listen, some of that has to die in your heart in order for you to see the Lord. Man, we got idols all over this room. that we've set up on the altar of our heart. You think more about marriage than Christ. You think more about a husband and a wife than Christ. You think more about money than Christ. I'm telling you what I know. This room is filled with idols, and some of us, we can't see Christ because you have something else set up on the altar of your heart. We worship men. We worship ministries. For some of you, you worship your dream and your vision. You want things badly that the Lord may not even want for you. For some of you, your vision board is an idol that has to die. For some of you, listen, you have to die. For some of us, we don't even have a cross. You have to die in order for you to see Christ more clearly. I'm telling you what I know. When you start burning on the altar all those things that you exalt above Christ, you will start to see Christ more clearly. The writer of Psalm 24 asked us a very powerful question. Who can ascend the hill of the Lord? Who's going to go up there to see Him? He who has clean hands and a pure heart. When purity shows up in the Scripture, it's not talking about sexuality only. It's talking about cleanliness. And in the Old Testament, when you see purity, it's talking about cleansing things on the outside. When Christ shows up in a new era, He moves purity from the outside to the inside.

Blessed are the pure in heart. Watch this. They shall see God. And there's a lot of you thought you have seen God, but we have not. You've seen church, but you have not seen Christ. We've seen conferences, but we have not seen Christ. We've seen preachers, but we have not seen Christ. Listen, I'm trying to help you out. I'm telling you today, if you crucify some of those idols you have in your heart, you will see Christ how Isaiah saw Christ. You will see Him, watch, where He belongs in your life, high and lifted up, above your favorite preacher, above your favorite worship leader, above your dreams, above your visions. What if the thing you want, He does not want for you? Could you lay that down for what His will is? We need to see Christ where Isaiah saw Him. High and exalted, above everything in this life. Hear me, that there is nothing we should love more than Christ. Nothing we should exalt above Christ. Not ministry, not man, not an idea, not a dream, not a vision. There is nothing in my heart we should exalt above Christ. Is Christ the highest thing in your life? Is there anything you love more than Him? Does that thing you love have a name? I'm telling you right now, you want to protect your relationship? You want to protect your ministry? Any idol that you have in your life, you give Jesus an incentive to touch it. That while the Lord is not against you having boyfriend, girlfriend, ministry, fill in the blank, He is against you exalting these things above Him. And so I just ask you, is there anything in your heart this morning that you actually love and adore more than Christ?

Isaiah saw Christ where we must see Him, high and exalted. And if you would exalt Christ above everything, watch this, if you would be most satisfied in Him, then everything else you look around and would just be gravy. Your heart would be full of gratitude when you look at Everything he has poured out in your life when you are most satisfied with him. I Learned watch you could get everything you think that you want and it's still gonna betray you You can get the husband and still feel betrayed You can get the big ministry and still feel betrayed get the car the house the bag the job and still feel betrayed You're still gonna wake up feeling empty That the only thing that would fully Satisfied the deepest longings of your heart It's when Christ has been placed firmly on the altar of your heart But he is above all things when you are most satisfied with him when you want him even a more than you want this platform See that don't move you Good for too many of us. He's just a name on a t-shirt a bumper sticker and a bracelet He's not the one that we endure No, I'm trying to help some y'all this morning. Something will shift in your life when you are most Satisfied watch this with Christ not Christ plus anything else Watch if he does not fill in the blank Could you be satisfied if you never got married could you be satisfied if you never hit that dollar amount Could you be satisfied if he sent you to another nation of suffice a missionary? Could you be satisfied? Here's my question is Christ enough I Want to encourage you to build an altar at your house a Prayer room and keep going in there and find Christ in there develop such an intimacy with Christ That nothing else satisfies you more than Christ place him where Isaiah saw him high and exalted the train of his robe filling the temple Verse 2 and above him stood seraphim

These angelic beings the only place they're ever mentioned in Scripture their name in Hebrew means fiery ones Burning ones they are on fire notice They are in the immediate presence of Christ and they are in fire Isaiah saw the pre incarnate Christ before he was born in Bethlehem and the ones who are above him They are on fire because you cannot come close to him and remain lukewarm Lukewarm It's impossible to have intimacy with Christ and be lukewarm He is a consuming fire So the closer you get to him the more he set your soul on fire. Does anybody want to be set on fire? He said I'd rather you be hot or cold I Know some you don't understand that like pause like let me just slide over here for just a second Like I've been to Turkey. I Seen the cities of the seven churches of Revelation That church Laodicea the one he said I'd rather you be hot or cold They had no natural hot water. No natural cold water. No natural water. So just to the north is Heropolis a Place with natural hot springs Cleopatra had a pool there and they build pipes from Heropolis all the way down To Laodicea by the time the water reached there It was lukewarm and full of pestilence and if you drank the water it will make you throw up To the east was Colossi they had natural cold water It was good for refreshing the hot water was medicinal They build pipes all the way to Laodicea by the time the cold water got to Laodicea It was lukewarm you drank it. It will make you vomit So when the Lord says I'd rather you be hot or cold He said I would rather you be on fire and be medicinal or be cold or be refreshing but not in the middle And Isaiah said when I saw Christ the pre-incarnate Christ above him stood the seraphim each had six wings With two he covered his face and with two he covered his feet and with two he flew These angelic beings were fashioned for the immediate presence of Christ and in them I see the behavior we should have when we approach the Savior

He said with two wings they covered their face why they cover their face, they cannot look upon the brilliance of Christ. That is an act of, watch this word, reverence. It's an act of, watch this word, homage. It's an act of, watch this word, honor. What we have lost in the body of Christ and what we need restored in our hearts is reverence and honor and homage unto Christ. He's not just your friend, He is the Lord of glory. And what we need to restore to our churches and to our platforms and to our hearts is honor for the Lord. He said we're two, He covered His feet, that is an act of humility. It's what we need to restore to the body of Christ, humility. That what we are filled with is arrogance and pride and we're fighting over songs and they didn't sing my song and I didn't get on the team and blah-blah-blah-blah-blah-da-da-da-da. I'm trying to. What we need in our heart is humility. We need to stop coming into His presence with our laundry list of everything that we want and start coming into His presence like this. This should be our posture before the Lord, honor, humility, reverence. And all day, day and night, they sing one song and one song only. They cry holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts. The whole earth is full of His glory. These angelic beings, when they get a glimpse of the front of Christ, they cry holy. And when they get a glimpse of the back of Christ, they cry holy. And when they get a glimpse of the side of Christ, they cry holy. And from every angle they see Him, they cry holy, holy, holy. This is the only triple pronunciation of any character traits of Christ. Nowhere in Scripture does it says He's love, love, love. Watch. Nowhere does it says He's grace, grace, grace.

Nowhere does it says He's merciful, merciful, merciful. No. This is the only triple announcement of any character of Christ, and the angels cry holy. It's what the church lost understanding of, holy, holy is what they cry, supremely separated from every being. We don't think about Christ as holy. We don't go into His presence as holy. We don't sing songs like He's holy. I mean, we be in churches all around the country with our arms folded, trying to turn worship leaders into chair leaders. People got to beg you to praise, beg you to worship, beg you to lift a hand, like He's not worthy of that. I said, is He not worthy of that? Come on, Vukon. I said, is He not worthy? And He's not holy because of some assent over every other creature like animal, human, angels, God. No. He is high above angels as He is above an ant on the floor. He is supremely holy, separated from every being. We should not treat Him the way we treat people. Watch, why is this the only triple annunciation of a character of Christ? Why? Because this is the only attribute of Christ that will radically transform a heart. To give Him the honor that He respects. See, in this country we overpreached love to you but you still don't have no honor for Him. We overpreached grace, you still don't have no honor. We overpreached His mercy, but you still don't have the honor. But if you get a revelation that He is supremely holy, you know what increases in your heart?

Honor. You know what increases in your heart? Reverence. You know what increases in your heart? Respect. You know what increases in your heart? Humility. You know what increases in your heart? Praise. You know what increases in your heart? Worship. We tell you every week that He loves you and you still don't honor Him. We overpreached love. Love and over-preached grace is why we have an American church with no respect for the Lord Jesus. So you think he's only a homeboy or a genie that you could just rub and he gives you anything you want, but you have not been taught that he is supremely holy and he demands from you. You don't walk up into the presence of a holy God any kind of way. You approach a holy being with awe, and with fear, and with trembling, and with humility, and with lowliness. They sing another part of the song, there's three verses in a song. They call him the Lord of hosts, in Hebrew, the Lord of armies. The Philip Anthony Mitchell translation, the Lord of warfare. The one that knows how to fight for you. The one that steps into your battles. The one that tells you, step aside, I'm going to deal with this for you. The one that says, get out of the way, I'm going to vindicate you. The one that says, move over, I'm going to deal with your enemies for you. The one that says, you don't even have to fight in this battle, I'm about to handle this for you.

He said, the whole earth is full of his glory, his beauty. You ever seen a ray of light come through the clouds? His glory. You ever heard of somebody being healed? His glory. You ever seen a beautiful painted sky? His glory. You ever ate a steak and cab and it tastes good? His glory. You laugh, but listen to me. All these things was given to point us to Christ. So when I eat food and I can taste it, it's supposed to point to the glory of Christ. See, you don't care about that until you lost your taste during COVID, and then you realize the brilliance of Christ in giving you taste buds. You got a good husband or a good wife, they're supposed to point to the glory of Christ. You're in a great church like VU Church, it's supposed to point to the glory of Christ. You have a great pastor in Rich Wilkerson, it should point to the glory of Christ. Everything you have that you enjoy should keep pointing you to the glory of Christ. If you see glory behind everything you enjoy, you know what increases in your heart? Love and offer him. I got good friends. Thank you. I got health. Thank you. I have children. Thank you. I can pay my bills. Thank you. I got a job. Thank you.

I got a car. Thank you. I got community. Thank you. I got a good shepherd. Thank you. I got a Bible. Thank you. When you see glory behind everything, then awe increases in your heart for Christ. Some of y'all are gonna leave today and look outside and see that beautiful sky, and you're gonna think, wow, the Lord, you created that. And the more you start seeing glory behind everything, your heart is just gonna be filled with awe for Christ. My wife is over there, and I say glory. My children are over there. I say glory. My mother is over there. I say glory. My sister and her husband is over there. I say glory. I travel with a team that supports me. I say glory. Somebody shout glory! I'm thank you. Thank you, brother. I'm trying. Man, I think about my brother Rich in D.C. This is public. All those years with no children, God—listen, all those years with no children, my wife and I, right over there, no cap, we would be on our knees praying for them to have kids

for years. And you know what I never saw? I never saw them not be faithful. I never saw them stop serving God. I never saw them not believing for other people. Watch. Then one child comes, glory! Then another child comes, glory! Then another child comes, glory! Then another child comes, glory! Somebody shout glory! Man, you eat a good meal and be like, thank you, Lord, that tastes good, glory. The whole earth is full of His glory. Verse four, and the foundations of the threshold shook at the voice of Him who called out, and the house was filled with smoke, now stop. Isaiah said when he saw this vision of the pre-incarnate Christ, he saw these angelic beings singing this song, and as they sung this song about the holiness of Christ, he said the temple shook, it moved as they sung. It said the foundations of the building moved as they sung, an inanimate object with no eyes to see, and no ears to hear, and no heart to believe, and no soul, and no spirit had more common sense than we who are alive. If an arena can move at the shout of holy, how much more beings created in His image with eyes to see, and ears to hear, and hearts to believe, then when you hear Christ is holy, we should move in His presence. How do we hear about Him and not affect our hearts? If a — listen to me, I'm almost done — if a building can hear about Christ and respond, how do you be in gatherings, hear singing, and don't respond? How do you hear His name exalted and don't respond? How do you sit in a chair with your arms folded while we're singing about the resurrected Savior and you don't respond?

How is that possible? Come on, Vulcan! How is that possible? Come on, Vulcan! How is that possible? Somebody give Jesus praise in this house! That's entitlement, that's bad preaching, that's arrogance and pride, that a building can hear holy and move. You hear Christ is holy and fold your arms. I wish I could just say the word holy and you respond. With worship, watch. Holy! Holy! Holy! Holy! Holy! Now, let me finish these last verses. And I said, now everybody watch, almost done. When Isaiah got a revelation of the true nature of Christ as a holy, exalted being. When he saw Christ, what did he do? Did he ask Him for a car? Did he ask Him for a house? When he came into His presence, did he start begging Him for a ministry and a platform? Verse 5, and I said, woe is me. For I am lost. For I am a man of unclean lips. Now listen to me very carefully. Because I want this for you. When Isaiah got a revelation of the true nature of God. When he saw Christ for who he really was, his first response to Christ was a recognition of who he really is.

A sinner before God. Who deserves wrath and death and hell and punishment. He did not see Christ and started begging Him for stuff. When he got a revelation of Christ, he realized how sinful he was. Because the closer you get to Christ, the more you hate all that garbage that's on the inside of you. I'm sorry, I'm telling you the truth. There is no way you can have an intimate relationship with Christ and enjoy sin and enjoy debauchery and enjoy licentiousness. It is not possible. I'm sorry, it is not possible. You cannot tell me that you have an intimate relationship with Christ and you can sin and go to sleep and it not bother you. No, we got to get to the point where we've been fed up with our own selves. Like I'm growing closer to Christ, I'm like, I'm fed up of being full of lust. I'm fed up of being full of anger. I'm fed up of being full of jealousy. I'm fed up of being full of envy. I'm fed up of... But the closer you get to Him, the more angry you should be with all of the junk that's on the inside of you. Watch, Isaiah was broken over his own sinful ways. His mouth, the prophet, watch, and something would change. I'm almost done. Something would change in our churches and in this nation when we start being grieved over our own sin. When we say, why do I keep acting like that? Why do I keep talking bad about my pastor? Why am I so judgmental? Why am I always so lustful? Why am I so greedy?

Why do I always think about money? Something will shift in your life when you start hating your own sinful nature. Listen, you need to learn to watch this. Hate sin, to stop treating it like a pet, to stop keeping it in the closet. You need to say, Lord, I love you, so I hate all of this in me. I'm about to help you, watch. I'm about to help some of you, watch, watch. The more I learn to hate sin, watch this, the more I will say stuff like, Lord, thank you, watch, that you went to prepare a place for us, because this can't be the best that you have. See, some of you are so attached to this life because you love sin. The more you hate sin, the more you will realize he went to prepare something much better for you and me. Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God. You will desire what he went to prepare for you, the more you start hating the sin of this life. I know I'm not the only one that will be like, dang it, I'm so tired of crazy people and crazy me. Lord, thank you that one day you're going to create a world where there'll be no more tears and no more sorrow and no more death and no more fights and no more jealousy and no more lust and no more death. I mean, come on. And you think I'm a fanatic? No, I just read the Scriptures. Paul said you should set your affections on things above. That's not good enough for you? No, it's not. No, it's not. It's not good enough for you. You read the Bible?

Romans chapter 7, the back half, Paul is complaining about his own self. The thing I don't want to do, I keep doing. And what I should do, I don't do. And he's complaining about his own self, and then he says, who will deliver me from this body of death? Thanks be to God, through Jesus Christ. Who will deliver me from this body of death? He's longing for what Christ went to prepare, eternity. Watch, not only was he broken over his sin, but he says, woe is me for I dwell amongst a people of unclean lips, for my eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts. Watch, Isaiah was not only broken over his own sin, this is what we need right now. Isaiah was broken over the sins of the nation. Now I'll talk to you before I close, look at me. How is it we're doing Christianity, and you don't care about the brokenness of our society? No, I'm serious. How do you see transvestites in the pulpit, blaspheming Jesus, and that not grieve you? How do you be on TikTok and Instagram and see? People blaspheme in Jesus and that not grieve you? How do you see liars in the pulpit, doctrines of demons and devils and that not grieve you? How do you see them trying to change the definition of marriage and that not grieve you? I'm about to get all the way in trouble now. I don't care. How do you see compromise in the American church and it not grieve you? How do you see us trading in the scriptures to preach alternate gospels and that not bother you? How will we ever have revival if there's no brokenness over sin, no repentance, no grief over what we see in society? I'm telling you, our churches would change, your marriage would change, your parenting would change, your house would change, your conferences would change, everything would change when you start being broken over sin in you and around you.

Hear me, captain. Give me that. I'm telling you right now, something would change in our churches and in our marriages and in our homes when we start being grieved over the state of the nation and the state of Christianity and the state of our churches, when you start shedding tears, when you start loving what he loves and hating what he hates, you'll be strolling and you don't care. So you got strong thumbs and a weak soul. I'm telling you today, something would shift in your heart, in your homes, in your churches, on your campus. Something would happen in the hearts of the people following you on social media when you start being grieved over the state of the church. You'll serve, you'll give, you'll pray, you'll take a stand for Christ. You won't be a coward, always got your tail between your legs. You'll take a stand for Christ's man. And there is Isaiah, watch, writhing in his sin. And the scripture says, the Lord speaks to an angel to take a coal from the altar and go to Isaiah and burn him in his lips. His lips is connected to the heart, for from the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. So what Jesus does symbolically in the text is atone for his sin. This is a picture of salvation. He touches, watch this, the thing Isaiah needed to use for his ministry. Just like right now, I'm about to pray that God would touch the thing that he wants to use in your life for ministry. See, watch, and then in this last verse, look right at me, Isaiah hears the counsel of heaven, the father and the son and the Holy Spirit saying, we see the brokenness of society. We see the state of humanity. Who will go for us? Who can we send? God is saying, who will go for us? Who can I anoint?

Who can I send? Who can I raise up? Who can I use? Who can I use in this hour right now? Where is the next DC? Where is the next Rich Wilkinson? Where is the next Manushka Charles? Where is the next Phillip Anthony Mitchell? Who can I trust? Watch. And the Lord is not asking that question because he had a shortage of people to choose from. He's asking. that question to give Isaiah this one opportunity to respond and right now all over this arena I hear the Spirit of the Lord saying who can I send who will go for me and that the only fitting response to the mercy and grace of God is here I am said that the only right response to the God who saved you washed you wrote your name in the Lamb's Book of Life the only right response to salvation washes is a whole life laid on the altar of service is that you know I'm serious I didn't come to play around I came to release an anointing over the person who says enough is enough I'm laying every idol down Lord I want to hate my sin I want to hate the sin of the nation I want you to use me in this hour I want my prayer life to be dangerous when I speak I want it to be dangerous when I walk into a room I want demons to tremble what who am I talking to I said who am I talking to who am I talking to all over this room if I'm not talking to you keep your hand down this ain't no game I ain't come to play around and this ain't no show God in heaven is watching you if you can't make this commitment put your hand down he's asking who can he send who will finally lay down their idols give me all of their

heart all of their soul all of their spirit that maybe I can use you you can be a teenager or 80 years of age he called Isaiah at 20 and Moses at 80 I say to some older person in the room the Lord has not done with you yet you see you say your hands are tired he hung on a cross six hours for you now is the moment this is the conference this is the hour that something shifts in your heart no more play in church no more loving sin no more backpedaling no more today you run forward into everything that Jesus has for you who's ready for that with your hands lifted high eternal God and of a wise father I pray for every hand lifted in humility I pray you would topple every idol that is in our hearts I pray you would open their eyes that they would see Christ exalted I pray you would burn them in their lips burn them in their hearts I pray they would love what you love and hate what you hate I pray you would set their souls on fire I pray you would anoint them for the assignments you have given them from the young to the old from the new believer to the season and now Lord I pray for every hand lifted that a fresh anointing falls from heaven on them right now for works of service and full surrender I pray favor over them over their homes and their ministries that we will be a dangerous remnant a dangerous people we will disrupt and tear down principalities and powers we would wreck rooms and take over places for the glory of Christ our soon-coming King I ask this right now in the mighty and the majestic and the matchless name of our Lord and Savior and soon-coming King If you received that, take the roof off this place right now. Come on, somebody shout! Come on! Come on!
