Bro. Joseph Ruiters delivers a powerful and prophetic message calling this generation of believers to rise and fulfill their spiritual mandate. He emphasizes the need to stay faithful to the original, unadulterated truth of the gospel, warning against compromise and distractions. The message calls for action, encouraging believers to take up the baton left by previous generations of faith, completing the race that has been set before them.

Bro. Ruiters shares a vision where he saw a cloud of witnesses, including biblical figures such as Moses, prophets, and revivalists like William Seymour and William Branham, cheering on this generation to finish the work. He urges the audience not to miss God's timing and emphasizes that every believer is a seed of a prior generation, tasked with reaping what has been sown before them.

He stresses the importance of the Holy Spirit, urging believers to seek beyond conversion and water baptism, pressing into the deeper gifts of the Spirit. The sermon includes a special anointing over young people, encouraging them to embrace leadership, prophecy, and healing ministries.

The message concludes with a call for unity, overcoming prejudice, and recognizing God's divine purpose for each believer. Bro. Ruiters challenges the congregation to awaken dormant spiritual gifts and to step into the prophetic promises spoken over them.
