1. What a Mighty God we Serve.

Glorious, Marvelous, Loving Faithful, Dependable Jesus.  Glory be to your Holy name.
Today in all your churches all over the world, do something new. Let there be a mighty Outpouring of your Power and Mercy.

*Introduction*
From this day forward you will receive the outpouring of the Holy Ghost in Jesus Name.

*What is Outpouring?*
Outpouring is a combination of 2 words; *Out* & *Pour*
It means *To pour out from a full container.* "Fill thine horn".

Unlike today, in those days, they always pour a full bottle/horn of Oil to anoint a person.

*Ps.  23: 5. Thou anointest my head with oil, my cup runneth over.*

*Outpouring causes Overflow.*
There will be an overflow of Joy, Success, Anointing of Hallelujah in Jesus name.

Gen. 17:1 God is more than Full (Enough)
When someone is full he overflows.

What does the Outpouring upon a man do?
*1. It positions you to fulfil God's purpose*
1 Samuel 10:1, When Samuel anointed Saul, he began to prophesy like the prophets.

1 Sam. 16:1 God was about to choose a new King.
Outpouring empowers the fellow to lead.
1 Sam. 22:1-2 When David was in hiding several people gathered themselves together for him to be their captain though they vagabonds. No matter what; whether the man is hidingbor not, through the outpouring people will find him, they will reach out to him.

*You yourselves will begin to Overflow.*
*1. In Words(through your mouth)*
1 Sam. 10:9-11. As soon as Saul received the Outpouring,  he became a prophet.

Through the Outpouring, David became a prophet and he prophesied 3 critical and major prophesies about our Lord Jesus Christ.

i) Psalm 22:1
ii) Psalm 23:1-6 The Lord is my Shepherd,
iii) Psalm 24:7-10 Talking about the future return of Jesus Christ; it came from the mouth of David.
All these prophesies came from David.

It becomes difficult not to witness
Acts 1:8. You will not be able to keep quiet anymore.

*It also brings healing*
Acts 9:33 - 44 Paul spoke and Ananais was healed.

*To Kill/destroy our Enemies.*
Act 5:1 - 11

Majority of Christians don't really know who God is and they suffer for it.
Jesus is a combination of the Lamb and the Lion.

*Prayer*
Anyone that will not allow me to reach my goal shall die.

We suffer because we don't really understand the Scriptures.

God is Love but according to Heb.12:29, He is a also the Consuming Fire.

*Prayer*
Anyone who is troubling your Joy, Peace; the consuming Fire shall consume them in Jesus Name.

Acts. 13:6-12. Paul was preaching Salvation to a Governor and a Sorcerer was hindering him, immediately Paul decreed blindness on him and it came to pass.

*Prayer*
Anyone focusing on me,  my family and my church for evil intentions shall go blind.

*Prayer*
Everyone that is trying to slow you down by criticising you even when you have done NO wrong. They will loose their lives in Jesus Name.

*2. Outpouring is not only through your mouth but also through your Sweat.*
It will flow from your sweat.

*How is healing produced*
By killing the germs and viruses responsible for sickness and diseases.

*Prayer*
Every Spiritual Germ/Virus in your home, marriage and churches shall be destroyed in Jesus Name.

In Acts 13:11-12, the Aprons of Paul brought healing. You are meant to overflow through your Sweat.

Healing can also come through your Shadow. Acts 5:14-16. Paul's shadow brought healing.
When people shake you they shall be healed.

*3. The Outpouring Empowers*
2 Sam.  33:8-39. The same people who were vagabonds that came to David became Mighty Men through the Outpouring.

*4. To build Disciples*
Is. 61:1-4 The purpose of the outpouring is to heal the sick, raise the dead set the captives free but it will also be used to build disciples. That is, producing people like yourself who in turn will go out and do exploits.

The Outpouring is what you must be willing to pay any price for because the moment it comes upon you, you will become stronger than your enemies.

*Prayer*
Whether the enemies like it or not we shall receive the Outpouring today in Jesus Name.

God's horn may be full and ready to release the anointing but the head of the receiver may not be right.

1 Sam. 16:1-10. Samuel arrived at the house of Jesse and the heads of all the other children of Jesse were not right to receive the Oil until they brought David from the bush where he was tending the sheep. Only David's head was right to receive the outpouring.

*Prayer*
My head will be right.
My head will not reject Oil.

Acts 2:37-39 When the people saw what the anointing found in the lives of Peter and co, ordirinary fishermen was doing, they said that they too wanted the outpouring.
Peter asked them to confess their Sins, Repent, give their Lives to Jesus and be Baptised. So, if you are here today and you haven't given your life to Jesus Christ, come to the altar now as I count from 1 to 20.

*Prayers*
1. Father,  I decree now, everything holding me down,  let your fire fall and consume them in Jesus Name!
