This message stands on the prophecy of the prophet Malachi that God is going to restore to us faith for healing. There will be suffering but we have God’s Word that tells us though the mountains fall into the sea and the economy shakes and falls for those who fear the Lord, the Son of Righteousness will rise with healing in His wings. In the darkest hour when it looks hopeless and everything is gloom and doom the Sun will shine and we will have the greatest revelation of Jesus Christ and His keeping power. In these last days there will be a Holy Ghost Joy to manifest the faithfulness of Jesus Christ. We must begin to make a joyful shout to the Lord and begin to praise Him.

i want to speak to you blessed i know

how

uh how the prophets prophesied

uh what we’ve already seen

for example

in joel there was a prophecy that in the

last days god would pour out his spirit

on all flesh sons and daughters shall

prophesy

and when the holy spirit fell in the

upper room

i’m sure they looked at one another and

the first question

was probably asked is what is this what

what is god doing

the spirit of the lord came down as fire

he said upon each of them they spake

with heavenly languages and they

prophesied and they had boldness in

speaking the word of god

and they were possessed something laid

hold of them

and i’ll tell you what when the holy

ghost comes everybody in the house knows

he’s there when the holy ghost comes he

manifests himself

and so the disciples i’m sure questioned

one another and those who

knew

the word of the lord those who studied

the prophets

said this is that this this is what we

to expect this is what they said

this was what joel said years ago that

in the last days

and

christ said

told us that these are the last days

folks

this when jesus came that was the

beginning the first of the last days

and now we are living in the last of the

last days

there was a former reign that was

prophesied a former reign of the holy

spirit coming down

and he said he poured on all flesh

and they knew it because they studied

the scriptures and they knew when they

understand

the prophet joel said this and what

we’re seeing now

what we experience

now is the fulfillment of all the

prophets

and folks in one way or another all the

prophets from isaiah isaiah especially

and you can find it in jeremiah and

ezekiel and all the minor prophets

we likewise can hear and see and know

and understand what has been prophesied

about our time

prophesied now

now you know all of the prophecies of of

the

of the darkness the gross darkness that

has been prophesied in the bible in the

last days

i’m going to take you

into one of the prophets the minor

prophets i’m going to take you to the

last chapter

of the old testament

the last

book of the old testament the last

chapter in the old testament the last

six verses in the old testament and show

you what

the bible says what the prophet malachi

said is to come

now if the first outpouring of the holy

spirit there’s the first ring and

there’s a ladder rain

the first rain was at pentecost

now before jesus comes i believe this

with all my heart and in the last of the

last days

the holy spirit is not going to whimper

out he’s not going to come to a

generation the beginning of the last

days and pour out his spirit around the

world

he’s not going to do that in the last

days allow the devil to have power and

authority over the saints of god he’s

not going to leave his church empty and

dry

he’s not going to leave us sick and

afflicted with no authority with no

healings

with no

movement of the holy spirit and people

just holding on till jesus comes

that’s not what the bible says that’s

not what the prophets prophesy

if you have your bible

i hope you do malachi the fourth chapter

the last

book in the old testament

all six verses i read beginning to read

now folks

believe me now and the scripture said

believe the prophets and you will be

blessed

believe the prophets

i have every right to tell you that this

is for today just as surely as peter

could stand up and say this is what joel

said and we are seeing it fulfilled i

can tell you this is what malachi said

and we’re going to see it fulfilled

for behold the day cometh

that shall burn as an oven

and all the proud yea and all that do

wickedly shall be stubble the day that

cometh shall burn them up and the lord

of hosts

that it shall lead saith the lord of

hosts that it shall leave them neither

root nor branch

now let’s stop right there for a minute

and look this way

we are living in this very time right

now

we are in the oven

things are getting very hot

economically

socially spiritually

in all ways

behold the day is coming that it shall

burn as an oven and all who do wickedly

shall be stubborn

stubble

folks this is a prediction this is a

prophecy in the last days of a fiery

holocaust

in all areas of society

ten years ago

i released a book called

america’s last call

a fiery economical

and economic holocaust a fiery economic

holocaust is coming

i pleaded and i warned that there was

going to be a

breaking of the housing bubble that

there would be sellers and very few

buyers

i’ve been in conferences and pleaded

with congregations to

uh stop flipping their houses and sell

everything and flipping and and that the

crash was coming that there was going to

be a fiery fiery holocaust

i i i i pleaded and begged about fires i

saw coming

to the northeast especially new york

city a thousand fires and i i honestly

believe that we

are within a few years of seeing that

fulfilled

and i don’t

i told you for a little while you you

may

say i don’t want to hear any of this

gloom but this is what prophet malachi

is talking about he said it’s going to

burn like an oven

and and and

i i was called a doomsday preacher and

and actually

the ministry here in the united states

just about closed up on me

now overseas i was holding conferences

last five years i think i’ve been in 50

countries around the world

preaching and warning but i i think i’ve

only been one or two conferences in the

united states because there were no

invitations

now it’s changing now a lot

you know people are calling the office

ordering the books now

and i don’t have anything in my heart

saying i told you so i don’t have

anything in my heart that says i warned

you

i i spent most of my time in prayer now

pleading for messages of hope and and i

i said from this pulpit a number of

years ago less than 10 years ago that

when this fire came those of us who’d

been warning would become preachers of

hope

that we would be the encouragers and

these that have been preaching

prosperity and that there’s nothing to

be concerned about this you know it’s

going to be like this is going to the

stock market’s going to go to 30 000 and

all of these things that we were hearing

and buy your house and flip it and and

put every bit of mortgage you can put on

your house and cash out and people were

cashing out going on vacations and

spending for boats and everything and

they think they were going crazy

and i i said that those preachers are

then going to start preaching doom

because people are going to say you

cheated us and and now they’re going to

get in here so that they say no we

didn’t teach you we’re telling you now

but

they’re saying it when it’s too late

it’s too late

but you see he said the wicked are going

to be burned the wicked are going to be

affected now this is not just talking

about homosexuality

this is not just about uh pornography

and and fornication and drugs and

alcoholism it’s more than that

it’s arrogance

it it’s a spirit of proud

arrogance they that do

wickedly

wickedness is

is your nose up at god

it is called arrogance now how arrogant

can a society be

that can

rip out of this book

everything

that is moral and holy and clean

and reflects the heart of god

how is it that do we we seem to have no

power to stop our courts from legalizing

marriages between men and men women and

women and now this past month in

california they’re bringing this to the

courts

the man boy associations men

having sex with boys want to be

considered a minority with rights

how long

did we think how long did this society

think that we could get along get by

with this and that god is not there god

will not do anything about it he will

not bless he will not curse he would he

won’t do with him because god is

non-existent and that’s what the message

is it’s arrogance

and god says i’m going to deal with that

wickedness that’s wickedness

that is something that takes people

beyond the the realm of grace because

they harden their hearts and

and sometimes oftentimes grace cannot

reach it because of the hardness of

their hearts

the european union

has taken god out of the constitution

and they have declared that the european

union is a secular union

and they have said god is dead in

essence god is dead

and now we have pushed god out of our

schools we have pushed god out of our

course we’re trying to push god out of

our society now why do you say we i’m

talking about americans now hear me

please i love america i love my country

i thank god for america still the freest

nation on earth

but we have stuck our nose up at god

we have dared god to act

we we have lived as if the

starving people around the world can go

as they please and we will live high on

the hog and we will we we will just soak

in all of this prosperity and we will

have everything in our hearts desire and

and in the process mock god and say we

did this on our own strength through our

own mental inventions we have come to

this great place mightiest nation number

one

and god says no

the prophet said said the day shall burn

as an oven

and this wickedness in hebrew

suggests arrogance

the prophet malachi’s prophecy are being

fulfilled right before our eyes

america has out-sinned

noah’s generation

america and the world today

there’s more wickedness in europe i

believe now than in the united states

this uh horrible wickedness sweeping

over europe england

and and now god is shaking every nation

ireland had this big bubble this housing

bubble

bigger the united states and now it’s

broken and and and ireland now is

heading for a deep recession and england

and germany and all over the world

and now russia’s being shaken because of

the of of the cheating and the arrogance

and the robbery

the neglect of the poor and and uh

mafia types

driving around in their rolls royces

ignoring

the nation of poverty

and we we see this shaking of the whole

world we see wickedness being dealt with

and that’s what god is doing behold

darkness here’s what isaiah said

darkness shall he he’s talking about the

end times darkness shall cover the earth

gross darkness the people

and gross here in hebrew is doom gloom

gloom

jeremiah

give glory to the lord your god before

he caused darkness

and before your feet stumble on the dark

mountain and while you look for light it

turns into the shadow of death and it

will become gross darkness in other

words it will be an hour of gloom

malachi said in that day

in that day of gloom

and i’ll tell you the good news in just

a moment

this week’s economist magazine on the

cover

has a cartoon

of the statue of liberty

not standing holding the flame

but she is sitting

dejected her

face in her hand and the flame laying on

the ground and the headline says

unhappy america

and here’s what the people told

the writers of the economist magazine

now word for word

there’s a furious one woman said there’s

a furious gloom sweeping the whole world

another said we’ve been greedy for so

long and it’s caught up with us

another said it’s too late the slide is

on

another america

is in a horrible mood we’re slouching

towards sodom and gomorrah

another said the economy is tottering

in the echo eco fanatics are telling us

the world is cooking

folks we have come to that place

and it has to be said

i have never ever preached

on a prophetic word without a broken

heart and a contrite spirit with a

weeping inside

because you see

i don’t want to talk like this and

malachi didn’t want to talk like this

but this this is what he said is coming

and it is it is totally being fulfilled

isaiah

spoke of our day in chapter 24 of isaiah

he will turn the entire world upside

down he’s going to bring down the proud

there will be there will be confusion

everywhere and all the merrymakers will

now be sighing

all the joy will be silenced

all laughter will cease and all will be

shaken as an olive tree is shaken and

the habits of the earth shall fear

folks you you’ll find it hard to find a

smile

our our our advanced team are eventually

king just came back from one of the

major cities of russia just got back

yesterday

a team of three

and they said it

this is one of the major cities in

russia

and they said that everybody there’s

such economic despair

people are only getting half of what

they need to live and the cost of of

gasoline and electricity and everything

is going out of sight

and they said you couldn’t find a smile

anywhere you couldn’t find a smile

except in the house of god

and in the house of god they were

singing and dancing and shouting in the

church that they attended but there was

there was no smile there’s the very

thing the prophets have warned about us

joel said

is not the meat

in in hebrew means prosperity

cut off from before our eyes

yes joy and gladness have been cut off

from the house of our god

joy is withered from the sons of men

you say okay pastor wilkes and that’s

enough let’s get

you said you’ve got something for us

i do

it’s not mine it’s the prophet

prophet malachi

i was thinking

what if malachi

were living today

i’m talking about you know

raised from the dead

and enabled to come and he’s a visiting

i’ve got john bueno with me here today

my dear friend

charge of missionaries hundreds and

hundreds of missionaries all over the

world just got back from the congo

i got to thinking what if malachi

was our visitor today

and he spoke

and he told you all that i’m telling you

now

but he describes it he goes into detail

about how you know you you all other

problems times like these the roots were

not touched because these institutions

came back to life and this and then

people say this is just another like

that we’re just it’ll just be

maybe five years ten years everything

will be recovered but

if what have you told you he’s

got down to the roots this time

and we sit stunned like you’re sitting

here now

and to tell you the truth my knees

tremble

but malachi the prophet malachi would

give you verse 1

and go into detail

and i believe then he’d close

the word

the prophets and

all of the scripture that he had

available

and i believe he’d get down

go around stage and start walking

down the front of this church

and uh

twinkled in his eye

and he’d start up this owl

and he start shouting

verse two

but

boy that’s a big word

but unto you

that fear my name

and malachi would say wait a minute that

message you just heard is not for you

had nothing to do with you

yes there’ll be collateral damage you

you you and i

we’ll be

we will they’ll be suffering

but there’s a word for you

and this word will hold you

this world will keep you

let the mountains fall into the sea

let the economy shake and fall let

everything that can be shaken be shaken

but for you who fear the lord the son of

righteousness is going to arise with

healing in his wings

he said in that darkest hour when it

looks hopeless and when there’s fear on

all sides and everything is gloom and

doom

you’re going to see the sun shining the

lord jesus christ himself is going to

rise in greater revelation than you and

any generation in the past has ever seen

we are going to have the greatest

revelation of jesus christ and his

keeping saving power

that

that’s not a cliche folks

we based the whole pentecostal

experience on the prophecy joel

in other words this is a prophetic word

and and for ever ever since the

outpouring of the holy spirit we’ve

stood on that the prophet has spoken and

we have seen it and we have lived it and

i’m telling you now this is the word of

the prophet and it’s the word for today

even though it’s been fulfilled in other

generations

it is going to be fulfilled in its

greatness and its majesty and its power

in our

time and it’s happening it’s happening

now and i’m telling you i agree

i stand on the prophecy of malachi

that in these last days there’s going to

be a fresh outpouring of the holy spirit

and

they’re going

god is going to restore to us

faith

for healing

i’m gonna give you three words that many

of us don’t even like to repeat

we are embarrassed by them

signs

wonders

miracles

and the one word we fear more than

anything else is manifestations

i’ll tell you why because of all the

tomfoolery because of all of the

foolishness over the years where certain

healing evangelists were trying to sell

healings one was trying to sell healings

for cancer for a thousand dollars over

television until the courts laid hold of

him found out that he was drunk all the

time anyhow

you know i’ve seen so much you’ve seen

so much of absolute foolishness and and

manifestations that were absolute flesh

and so we have backed away from healing

and many of them say i have prayed for

healing and i don’t receive it and so we

back away and there’s a nagging

something in us that says does god

really heal today

i hear more and more people asking these

questions

uh is this all there is to it this is

the focus in the last day on suffering

and pain and affliction i’ve preached so

much on pain pastor carter all the

pastors we we have been trying to find

everything in the scripture to encourage

the saints in their suffering in their

affliction and in their their economic

uh turmoil

and the questions are being asked does

god heal anymore

why are so many hurting why are so many

sick and so many that apparently are not

being healed

it’s because we’ve allowed the devil to

ramrod over our faith

we have pulled back because

we we we have not pressed in we’ve not

taken our authority in the name of jesus

christ

and we no longer honestly we no longer

believe the holy ghost is being poured

out

i have to confess to you that that i’ve

been a little bit afraid of the

manifestations of the holy spirit to

break out in this church because it

would drive people away

well folks i still stand against the

foolish manifestations of the flesh

where people trying to bring attention

to themselves and just flop on the floor

or or or try to run around the building

without an anointing of the holy spirit

but if the holy ghost really is upon you

and the holy ghost does it we should not

be afraid of manifestations true

manifestations of the holy spirit

and the manifestation that i’m talking

about that will accomplish and accompany

this

last day outpouring of the holy spirit

is going to be

a holy ghost joy

a holy ghost rejoicing

and this will be the testimony of jesus

christ in the last day in a world full

of gloom

in a world full of fear when everything

is shake the foundations and the roots

are being plucked up

there will be a people walking out in

times square outside this church and

other churches where they’ve been prayed

for and the and all of the elders have a

re-baptism and a re-anointing of the

holy ghost and really stepping on their

faith and saying jesus name be healed

and we have a people who believe that

glory to god

i see people giving up

on being healed

people giving up and say this is the

cards that have been dealt to me in so

many words

folks there are healing afflictions

we’ve talked about that david said if i

had not been afflicted i would not have

sought the lord we know that and we know

the pattern of god’s testing to get pure

faith we know that

but there has to come a time where we

stand up and say lord jesus

i’m claiming

your word

you said you’re going to rise up

with healing in your wings now are you

under the wings of jesus

has he called you are you under his

wings

we’ve lost our fight

i said we’ve lost our fight

god put holy ghost fight in us

the devil is not in control god is in

control the devil has no power has no

authority

if you weren’t dancing by this time with

malachi he’d be running down this aisle

and he said the better part there’s

still something more

son of righteousness itself rise with

healing in his wings

i don’t know whether you’re going to

believe this or not

but you will go forth leaping like

calves released from your stall

now here’s what the king king james says

uh uh it says you will go forth and grow

up as catholic stall but the original

hebrew and you get that in all in

america new american standard and many

many and most of the theologians that

i’ve read say the very words of this you

will go forth leaping like calves

released from the stall

the word the word stall here in hebrew

is

to be cornered

to go in circles in a limited space

i’ve seen calves in the stall and

they’re looking out in the green grass

and there there’s a a gate there and

it’s locked

and and they’ll they’ll run around round

around making their sounds and kicking

and some of them when what i saw they

were chewing at the gates

and this is what has happened

the devil has come to lock you in a

stall

and there are so many people confined

now they’re not out in the open they

don’t have the joy of the lord they’re

not in the green pastures not drinking

the cool water

and i’m telling you the holy ghost

prophesies through malachi and he’s

going to tell you now i speak his words

through the anointing of the holy spirit

there’s coming and release the stalls

are all going to be

broken and set free

and he said you’re going to go forth

from your stall leaping

that’s what it says you’re going to come

leaping out of your stall

there’s that stall

of hopelessness

boredom

that hopelessness that says where is god

how long do i suffer and and until

finally that’s the only testimony you

have

the only word you have you get up every

morning and you have that same cloud

hanging over your head and you’re locked

in this stall you don’t have freedom

that’s your whole world is wrapped up

and i know many people that’s their

whole world now if you talk to them

that’s all they can talk about they

can’t talk about god they can’t talk

about freedom they can’t even talk about

the joy they once had

they’re joyless they’re hopeless they’re

in a stall

locked up

there’s this stall of bitterness

there are people now who can’t come into

the full blessing of the lord they can’t

be healed because of bitterness in their

heart

god cannot and will not work where there

is bitterness

the bible calls it a gall or a poison

if you hear and this morning you want a

baptism of the holy spirit a fresh

outpouring if you want to be released

from your stall you have got to honor

you have to acknowledge it and say

there’s something in my heart towards

somebody there’s something i’m not

forgiven there’s there’s there’s

something in my heart towards someone

brother sister get it out or you’re

going to be locked in your stall and

you’ll never get out

you’re going around a little circle a

little circle full of meanness that

spreads to other people and i said with

love when i say it with grace this is my

biggest battle

and it’s your biggest battle to keep out

of your heart anything

anything of racial not that’s not my

battle but if there’s any racial

prejudice in you

if you’re into the struggle that’s going

on here in the united states now this

racial thing is going on folks stay away

from it it’s poison it’s poison stay

away it’ll keep you locked up in a stall

but the holy ghost through the prophet

said this outpouring of the holy spirit

he’s going to come and he’s going to

release you from the stall and you’re

going to come leaping out of your stall

can i read it again to you

you will go forth leaping like calves

released

say it released

he wants to release you today

everyone who’s watching me everyone who

sees me i’ll point a finger right at you

a loving finger the love of god saying

god wants to release you today right now

he wants to release you

from the fear of your affliction from

bitterness

from loneliness from mourning from

whatever it may be

god’s going to release his church

he’s in the process of doing that right

now

i said the holy ghost is here the holy

spirit is here

now you have a part

you can’t just sit and say well i’m

waiting for the holy ghost to do i’m

waiting for the little ghost to release

me i’ve got fear in my heart

that

no folks says there’s a human fear it’s

a natural thing it comes from being a

father a husband

concerned of his family and and

a single person who working and sending

money to the philippines or mexico or

wherever it may be and you have these

fears the human fears that come upon you

but god wants

to release you

from

your fear before it takes root until it

gets a hold of you and eats up your

innermost being

and and

kills your faith

there’s something you have to do

and folks i have proven this

i have proven it

you have to take a step now

to make a joyful noise

unto the lord through praise

and i’m not talking about meditation

yes meditate

thank god i meditate and walk i walk and

talk with jesus sometimes for

an hour at a time just quietly before

him and letting him speak to my soul but

there comes a time when the devil seems

to have a foothold and when you can’t

get out and you’re locked in

and you’re confined

the only way out of that confinement the

only way is is

is to find a place

get somewhere alone with god

and and

i tell god said lord i’m sorry this past

week i haven’t prayed like i should pray

i have felt locked up

so many things coming from so many

directions

never seems to stop

it just keeps coming at you anybody know

what i’m talking about

and you’re in that and and you go down

down down until you don’t hear anything

you want to go to hawaii and find an

island you can’t nobody can find you go

fiji islands and fish

in that time

you take a walk with god

and say no devil

no

i’m the son of the living god i see the

sun shining i may not feel like it i

don’t feel like praying i don’t feel

like shouting i don’t feel like anything

but i’m going to stand by faith and i’m

going to proclaim god is victorious

hallelujah

just stand

lord i’m going to shout

and i’m going to praise you that’s when

the holy ghost comes

the holy spirit comes

raise your hands

come on

god release this congregation

release everyone who sees and hears

right now wherever they may be

open the doors open the gates

o son of righteousness come

blessed be the name of the lord my god

will you bless his name

i want you to call on his name call on

his name

i want you

i will not before a holy god work a

crowd

and trying to get you

hyped up that doesn’t work

but

it’s in this rejoicing

it’s in this opening up to the holy

spirit and allowing a spirit of gladness

and rejoicing in spite of how you feel

you have to rise above those feelings

and take a step of faith
