amazing testimonies an old-fashioned

baptism service we we’re going to take

you into for a few minutes but first i’m

going to preach a message that I think

is a word that is in season for your

life I really believe many of you feel

like you’ve been put on hold and it

seems like nothing’s happening and

everything that that you thought would

happen it just feels like Lord have you

forgotten about me that’s why I want you

to hear this message this message is

going to speak to you and it’s going to

let you know that you may feel stuck in

the same place in life but God has a

breakthrough coming your way and God has

a plan that where you are right now he’s

using it really to fulfill his promise

and his Blessing in your life life God

always has a plan his timing is always

perfect and if you will hold on a

midnight Miracle is coming to your life

listen to this message and let it speak

to you

today together we’re inspiring people to

live for Jesus if you’re looking for

more in life to live with purpose and

peace to make a difference for your

family and those in need around the

world Jesus is the answer and our

mission is to Simply point you to to him

you’re watching Kingdom connection with

Franklin acts chap

16 and I want to read verse

25 but at midnight Paul and Silas were

praying and singing hymns to God and the

prisoners were listening to them

suddenly there came a great earthquake

so that the foundations of the prison

were shaken and immediately all the

doors were opened and everyone chains

were loosed suddenly there came a great

earthquake and it was happening

according to verse 25 at midnight I want

to preach to you I really felt the Lord

uh lead me in this and I felt like it

was confirmed in the first

service I want to talk to you about what

to do when God puts you on

hold in the midst of Prayer in the midst

of Praise in the midst of

singing God suddenly invaded that prison

house and every door that was closed

opened and every chain that bound was

loosed

suddenly tension is good when it’s used

on the violin it’s the bow and the

tension of the string that that causes

the Beautiful

music but the tension that I’m preaching

on is the kind that if they press too

hard on the bow it will break the

string and the tension of where you are

and where you want to be sometimes is

that in between place where God puts you

on

hold and you know that midnight is God’s

invasion of your problem but there’s

11:59 at 11:59 Paul and Silas had no

idea when they were praising in pain

when their backs were bleeding when it

was so dark it was midnight they had no

idea at

11:59 that everything suddenly was about

to

change and that’s what I’m preaching on

when God has you on hold between the one

minute away from a breakthrough one

minute there’s always a timing to God’s

Miracles at midnight the earthquake came

and the doors open and the chains

fell and many of you right now are at

that unrecorded

1159 and you have to make it to midnight

before the earthquake

comes and I want you to understand this

morning that Paul was at a place in his

life where he was feeling forbidden and

he was feeling like he did not

understand everything that was going on

but he praised

anyhow I want you to look with me for

just a moment at this familiar

story and if you’re living in an 1159

and nothing’s

happening I want to encourage you when

nothing’s happening keep moving in the

right Direction when nothing’s happening

keep praying keep praising great

Apostles live through the 11:59 to the

12 Paul tried to go to Asia in Acts 16-6

and the Bible said the Holy Ghost forbid

him have you ever tried your best to

make something happen and all God gives

you is a stop

sign but what God did with Paul was

every stop sign and it’s important to

understand that when the door is closed

by

God it’s working for your good if it

hasn’t happened yet it’s working for

your good Paul backed into the will of

God instead of walking forward into the

will of God he was forbidden from going

where he thought he was supposed to go

by now and God said no it’s not

time you see a closed door is as much

God’s will will when he gives you one as

an Open Door is if the door’s been

closed and it has not happened and you

keep saying I can’t wait till I get in

the will of God a closed door is as much

the will of God as an open door and

don’t ever forget that it’s important if

God has closed the door it’s just a

matter of timing and you’re in

11:59 but midnight is

coming midnight I’m preaching this

morning on midnight Miracles are on the

way come on and if you’re in the holding

place you got to keep praying and

praising and moving in the right

direction don’t get

discouraged little did he know that four

verses later God would give him a vision

and he would see a man in Macedonia

saying come here we need help and when

he got there this is where this story is

centered that I just read out of the

Bible when when he got there there were

women praying by the river and the power

of God began to move he even went to the

elders and said is this the will of God

cuz the last time I tried it didn’t

happen the Elder said the Lord’s in this

go and he went and when he got there he

was encountered with a demon-possessed

woman and he cast The Devil out of her

now I want you to think about what I’m

saying Paul had a vision he had a word

from God God told him what to do the

elders confirmed it and all of a sudden

he’s fighting Devils I want to preach to

you that sometimes we have the wrong

assumption that everything in God’s will

is going to fall in our lap and

sometimes you’re right in the middle of

God’s will and you don’t even feel like

it and nothing seems to be working real

easy and real fun nothing happened like

he saw it in the vision he saw a man but

when he got there there were women

praying by the river no man and then he

prays he gets to preaching and a woman

starts following him full of devils and

she was a fortune teller and you better

leave that stuff alone you better leave

that stuff you better leave those little

fortune tellers alone you better leave

that Ouija board alone you better leave

that psychic alone especially a

California

Psychic my

Lord I’d rather know the holy spirit is

leading me not some evil Spirit not some

witch I don’t need that I’ve got the

Holy Ghost Hallelujah and he knows how

to lead me and guide me into his will

and if he says I close the door I say

I’ll Stand Here In Praise in my

1159 cuz the door is going to open at

12:00 right on time somebody praise him

it’s God’s

[Applause]

timing you say well Pastor it just feels

like God God’s put me on hold I felt

somebody this week I don’t know who but

you got in my heart and you feel so Lely

and you feel so Forsaken and you feel

like it’s just not happening and the

enemy’s made you feel like that God has

forgotten about you and I just feel like

that I’m on hold but when God puts you

on hold make sure you don’t hang

up if you won’t hang up in

11:59 his voice oh I know it’s been a

long time but his voice will come

booming in the Midnight Hour with a

midnight miracle that will open the door

and loose you from the chains and you’ll

walk in a new thing that God is doing in

your life give him a great praise if you

believe

it let me show you something real quick

I want you to understand that midnight

is God’s favorite time which means 11 59

is Satan’s favorite time to double down

on his discouragement in your life right

before your Miracle comes

through the Bible said in Exodus 11 in

verse 4 that at

11:59 they were slaves at 11:59 they

were in generational bondage at 11:59

they were broke and they were poor and

they were devastated but at Exodus 11

and4 said at midnight at Mid midnight

they were set free by the blood of the

lamb and I’m simply telling you that God

was inactive for days and months and

years and they were put on hold but you

never know when you’re standing in your

1159 moment and you’re one moment away

from a miracle in the middle of your

midnight and I believe I’m sent to

preach to somebody today to say just

when the enemy me thought and by the way

the story that I read in Acts chapter

16 after God opened the prison doors and

set the captives free from the prison

with an earthquake at midnight the next

verse says that the Apostle Paul stopped

a man from committing suicide and taking

his

life and I believe that somebody is in

such a dark season that the enemies

whisper to you there’s no hope and no

future and you know that’s a devil when

you hear that

voice Exodus said the miracle happened

at midnight do you know that judges or

the Book of Judges chapter 16 and verse

three it was at midnight the power of

God Came Upon Samson and he tore up the

gates of Gaza off of the off of the

hinges the power of God I believe that

the power of God is coming on the church

in this hour and if we’ll hold on on

through the

1159 we’re going to and I’m praying for

the nation of Israel to tear up the

gates of Gaza amen and God would move

mightily I believe it’s time for the

spirit of Samson to come on this church

and every church and the body of Christ

not be a bunch of victims but we tear

the the Gates of Hell shall not Prevail

somebody say praise the lord it’s

midnight

he’s a Vietnam evangelist by the name

and I’m sure I’m slaughtering his name

new

Jen and he was in Vietnam as an

evangelist a Christian evangelist

preaching during the Vietnam war and

when the Communists took

over the Viet Kong took over they

invaded the village where he was found

out he was a pastor and imprison him and

put him in what they called a

rehabilitation Camp he was not allowed

to read anything he was isolated for two

and a half years and every day he did

the same thing two times a day he

cleaned the latrine he cleaned the

toilets the filthy toilets he had to get

down and dig with bucket and shovel and

clean out the toilets of the Viet Kong

soldiers

and he hit a point after not having any

Christian support any hearing a sermon

hearing a song hearing an encouraging

word he got so

low that he said God if you’re

there if you’re there you’re going to

have to speak to

me and while he was there with his boots

and His Bucket and his

shovel hell laughing at him it’s

11:59 he starts cleaning and he notices

something he has never

seen in that latrine he sees pages of

paper not just any paper but he

recognizes that

paper one of those generals had decided

when he found a Bible to turn it into

toilet paper and he was using the Bible

as toil

paper and somewhere when he said Lord if

you’re there I need to hear from you he

reached

down and you say I wouldn’t touch it if

you hadn’t seen the word in two and a

half years you don’t know what you’d go

through to get to that

word and he got him a rag and he cleaned

it off the best he could and he had

found one page called Romans chapter 8

and this is what he said he

read in verse

35 who shall separate us from the love

of Christ shall tribulation or distress

or persecution or famine or nakedness or

Pearl or sword as it is written for your

sake wipe some off I can’t see it it’s

blurred as it is written for your

sakes it’s 11:59

we’re counted as sheep for the

slaughter oh but yet in all these things

we are more than conquerors through him

who loved us for I am persuaded that

neither death nor life nor angels nor

principalities nor powers nor things

present nor things to come nor height

nor death nor any other created thing

shall be able to separate us from the

love of God which is in Jesus Christ I

Lord I don’t know who I’m preaching to

but I feel like telling you that you

need to hold on because you’re at

11:59 and you’re one moment away from

your breakthrough and when it comes it’s

going to be suddenly and you’ll see God

open the door and loose the chain and

perform his prophecy in your life give

him a great praise give him a great

praise in this room oh yes I know he’s

real I know he’s

real God bless you sir what is your name
