Dutch Sheets: Trusting God When Adjusting Your Plans (Acts 10:17)
Dutch speaks at Expression Church of Huntington on March 3, 2023. Quotes: “God made it clear to me how I needed to shift my life, that I needed to trust that He would show me how to do that. He wants to show me what I need to lay down, what I need to change, and how I need to think differently, so that He can move me into a new phase of what He's doing, and what He needs for me to do. I'm still in that process, but I'm in that process and I'm doing it. I've told the Lord, “I'm sorry for complaining! I will stop complaining and trust that you will teach me how to do this.”

I know churches in the 1970's that grew
from a hundred people to a thousand people
in a matter of two or three months.
I know of a young adult ministry,
college-aged kids, that grew from a hundred
to a thousand in just three or four months.
What are we going to do when we're not
struggling to fit another hundred people in a room?
But a miracle just took place and the whole city knew the person.
And he jumped up and was completely transformed.
And now thousands of people, maybe tens
of thousands of people are on our doorstep
saying, "OK, I know He's real, I want this."
We are going to have to position ourselves for great change.
And sometimes, as willing to do that as I am
and as hungry for what God is about to do as I am,
there is still part of me that,
when I process and meditate on this,
it becomes a very sobering thing.
I am desperately trying to prepare
my heart for what God's about to do.
There are people, there are types of people
I don't even like, and I know
I'm going to have to disciple some of them.
There are people that if I had my way,
I'd probably send them to Cuba.
But I probably will find myself weeping over some of them
and fathering them in the kingdom.
They will come into our gatherings with a lot of baggage.
Have you seen the Jesus Revolution?
How many of you have seen it?
Even though that was a very small part
of the Jesus people movement at the Calvary Chapels.
Because this happened in thousands
of churches, and millions were saved.
But it is a good picture of the challenges
that are coming. Because in the Jesus people movement,
these kids were sitting around
smoking joints, talking about Jesus.
You know how I know? (Audience laughs) And I inhaled.
So, He was literally capturing the imagination of a generation.
And though they knew nothing about Him,
they had no measuring stick for what He liked
or didn't like, they just wanted peace and love.
So literally sit around the room, or the campfire,
what do you think about this Jesus?
And you know, it was just like Jesus
when He walked the earth, with the prostitute.
I mean, it's like He didn't run these hungry people off
because they smelled bad, or they still smoked joints
or they were still sleeping around, living with some, the fifth guy
that they weren't even married to now.
He was thrilled to go out of His way.
So this is about to happen.
He's going to do what we can't to awaken their hunger level.
He's going to show them that He's real,
through signs and wonders,
and personal things He does with them.
They're going to start seeking and searching.
And we are going to have to be ready
to lay our lives down, to disciple
and steward, a third great awakening.
I mean, you get to the point where you're 67 years old,
and you've averaged traveling to 70 cities a year
for the last multiple years.
And you're just feeling worn out,
and you just get to the point
where you think, I'm going to slow down now.
I'm not going to retire... I'll never retire,
but I'm going to slow down now.
I'm going to be very selective, and just,
because I want to stretch this thing out, you know?
I don't want to wear myself out prematurely.
And so I'm going to slow down now.
Because I feel like we're getting close
to this revival, and my forerunning,
gathering thing can sort of shift,
because we're about to move into this
and now you don't forerun, you build,
you father, and then these posts come along.
I had no intention of doing these posts every day.
I had no intention of doing five days a week.
I had an intention of just doing them
for a couple months during the elections.
And we prayed for the election process in 2020.
And then when 400,000 people a day
were watching these and praying with us
and they started begging, "don't stop, don't stop!"
And I said, "I don't know what to do with this Lord."
And quite honestly, maybe this will surprise some of you.
So since I'm just trying to be brutally honest with you tonight,
