A lot of good things are happening over at TBO, so keep praying for us.
We've just had a lot of people come into Christ, a lot of deliverance going on.
And so I left hanging out with a group of people and then went and had to deal with something else until quite late.
But God intervened. God was so good. And so that's pretty cool.
But anyways, I want to talk a little bit before we get really going.
Just, you know, Red Lake, I just always want to give an update to the prayer people here because there's just so much that has gone on.
I had called the Red Lake team, the intercessors for Red Lake regarding, there was a shooting down in Minneapolis.
That was not last week, I think the week before.
And we were in service and the grandmother to the two girls that got shot was in the service.
And I mean, what are the chances, right? You're two and a half miles south of Red Lake and this little church.
And she just began to share how it was hard for her to get to the hospital.
Then when she got there, they didn't really want to leave her in or things like that.
But she had twin granddaughters and they were in a car in the back seat and the guy turned around and shot them both.
And one is still struggling for her life.
So let's agree in prayer right now.
Father, we just come before you in the name of Jesus.
We just thank you, Lord God, that you are intervene.
Lord, you are going to bring the words of her grandmother, which are the words of Christ that have been spoken into her life since she was a little girl.
Forward, bring it up, up, up, up.
So it will sustain her life.
So we'll bring her up into a place of peace and salvation power coming upon her in the name of Jesus.
We pray for all those who are mourning this tragedy and all those who, you know, other people that got shot and were involved.
And so, God, we just ask that you hover and brood over the situation.
Sure, the waters, the stagnant waters, especially, that are over the situation.
That which is murky, that's what you can't see through.
Sure, and clear it up so people can see that you are Jesus, the Christ, the son of the living God.
And you're the way, the truth, and the life.
And no man comes to the Father except through you. Amen?
Amen.
Last time I was here, that's where I have to say that.
Last time, you know, it was only a couple of weeks ago, but I spoke on the intent of the heart.
And I told you I was going to come back and just deal with that a little bit more because I feel like it's timely when pastors talking about tithing.
But it's timely even if he wasn't because God's asking us to go somewhere new.
And even the neurons in your brain are like, no, I'm pretty good right where I'm at, right?
And so those need to stretch, we need to get stretch marks on our brain from growing so much because otherwise it's pride to think we have everything we need to get over to that building.
But we don't. And when he's going to give us what we need is on the journey on the way, right?
But I don't want us to be like the children of Israel where we wander around the desert looking for the promised life.
Like, go around again. Oh, no, wrong attitude. Let's circle again. No, I'm good. Are you good?
I just, I really want it to just be the Spirit of God cleansing us and teaching us and getting us to where we should go.
So then we have to look at the intent of the heart. And I talked about that just to have that refresher.
It's kind of like what you intended. Many times we think spiritually and we'll hear from God and we have, it feels like we have his intention.
When we really have ours. Or we have his intention and when we go to walk it out, our shows up.
Right? And then we'll say things like, I never intended it to go that way.
You know, that was not my intention. You know, or whatever.
But many times what shows up in the heart, of course comes out the mouth or our actions.
And it starts to be that, you know, this is the rudder, this is the navigator is your mouth, but your mouth is only speaking what's already in your heart.
But who can know the heart?
To truly say that I know my heart. I know me. It's like, no, I find out all kinds of stuff about me. I did not know.
On a daily basis. I'm like, I did not know I was going to get angry about that.
Or I did not know. I mean, you just don't see you as well as many times you see other people or you think you see other people.
And we are outward focused so often because many times it's so painful to focus inward.
Because we've been touched by sin and we don't like that. I don't want to see that.
I mean, I don't want to wallow on that. No one says we have to.
But we should acknowledge where we came from because that's what got us to where we are now.
And our intention is to go where he's calling us.
But that comes through also servanthood. And the filter to our heart is servanthood.
So let's say that it's financial giving. That's a stewardship.
You're taking something that he's given you and you're stewarding it in a way of service.
It's servanthood. Right? He gives you a child.
Oh man, acts of service are going to start kicking in or social service is coming.
You know, some house CPS is showing up and saying, not a very good steward.
So there's something, there's something about us having the right intention
and having him show us what the intention is.
And when we go to serve, we find that out because servanthood puts pressure on the soul.
Our body doesn't usually like it. Right?
And then the spiritual aspects that we've seen or have been taught
or they're lurking around us that are generational or whatever,
our servanthood to our Christ is going to be opposite of that.
So it's going to get jiggy in our soul.
And so then it's very difficult because part of it is,
well, feel like we're going through spiritual warfare.
And when you feel that, you start looking outward.
You're like, is that a demon of or did this come from that sin?
I should have never had that thought. You know, many times people will do that.
Or they'll feel, you know, they need to start declaring things or whatever
because you're looking at right and wrong and you're trying to figure out
what's coming at me from out here. Right?
But what's coming at us from out here is only attracted to what's inside of us.
Right?
It'll challenge what's inside of us.
It'll pressure what's inside of us.
And the pressure that Jesus felt of 40 days in the wilderness.
Well, you know, wasn't something was inside of us or side of him.
But man, the demonic realm was trying to bring that out.
Like there's got to be something I can tap into.
So it comes against us and it challenges us.
And then we have choices we have to make.
And the choices are based on what's in our heart and our heart
will determine what our intentions are.
You know, to begin with, we can even...
I mean, I mean it. I'm making a vow.
I intend to do the right thing.
But the true intentions of the heart are different.
And as soon as you go to serve and steward
anything that he's given you or told you or prophesied over you
or, you know, interpretation of tongues
or showed you through the word or through a reema or whatever.
Those are all directions that take us somewhere.
And then when we go to do those directions,
we have to get in a mode of servanthood.
It costs money to do those directions.
It costs time.
I don't know which one's harder to give up.
Right? Depends on the heart.
Because time is so valuable and he says
in the last days they're going to be wicked
so buy up every moment.
Like you're taking... there's 24 hours in the day.
And how can I spend... you know, where am I going to get sleep?
And you're constantly recalculating what you're going to spend time on.
And the same thing can happen financially, emotionally.
Because here we're like a... we're like a bank.
And now, you know, the deposit comes from the Lord.
I pray that we get such a deposit today.
We make that exchange with him.
Ooh, that shores us up.
And then we go out to do what?
To do the thing he already asked us to do.
Which means we're going to be in a servant's mode.
It's not... we come here to serve.
That's one kind of service.
But there's more days in the week than Sunday.
And our servanthood to God is always.
Right? Because we gave him our heart.
And he is the great shepherd.
So when you think about that...
I mean, I'm just going to see if I can pull this up on my phone.
A couple of the scriptures that just talk about servanthood are...
I mean, you can just take one and it runs so deep.
Luke 22, 27 says,
For who is the greater one who reclines at the table?
Or one who serves?
Is it not the one who reclines...
Is it not the one who reclines at the table?
But I among among you as the one who serves.
So he's trying to let us know...
Here's how this goes.
Philippians 2, 7.
But he emptied himself by taking the form of a servant.
Being born in the likeness of men.
John 12, 26 says,
If anyone serves me, he follows me.
And where I am, there will my servant be also.
If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him.
So these are promises attached to the servanthood.
And it is our intention to serve.
Everyone would say yes and amen.
We're like, yes, that I fully intend.
Until we start serving.
And then every part of us, it starts to divide us out.
Because the part, there's a part of us that truly wants to serve.
And the whole rest of us doesn't.
Right?
You can be in a serve.
I know this because I've seen it happen.
It's happened to myself.
But I've seen it happen over the years where, you know, like...
I think I shared this a while back.
We had a missionary here.
I mean, service was phenomenal.
It was like, whoa, power of God.
And you could just feel, yeah, let's get on the mission field.
Right?
Anybody who wants to be a part of this ministry
and wants to go with me or whatever, come to the front,
front was packed.
From what I know, three people went.
Why does that happen?
That happens because sometimes our emotional state will go,
I fully intend to go.
Did God tell you to go?
I don't know, I felt it in the moment.
You felt it in the moment, but you should always unless...
I mean, there's some things you've got to decide right now.
But the way you can decide them right now
is through intercessory prayer.
You already have stuff settled in your heart
and you just know in the moment, say yes and amen.
I'm on standby.
I'm ready to go. Let's go.
Right?
So the servant's heart is...
he will ask us to do certain things, right?
Just because we believe in him, we make the exchange
and salvation power comes on us.
And we give him our crud.
And he gives us his absolute awesomeness.
And most Christianity thinks,
and that's where it ends.
Isn't that wonderful? I get born again.
I didn't get saved like that
because it wasn't presented to me like that.
Thank God.
I was at the altar.
It was probably three o'clock in the morning.
Revival meetings.
I was at the altar and the Spirit of God
was really strong on me.
And I said, God, I give you all of my life.
And I could just feel, you know,
there was this strong connection.
And then it moved to just like whatever you ask of me.
I owe you.
I was fully aware that he paid a price.
He didn't know.
And he bought me back.
And now I owe him my life.
So in that, when he asked me to do something,
that's been the, it's always my intention to, right?
But the challenge is on the way.
You're like, huh, I guess I had other intentions.
You know, you know, you can get excited
and want to go do something.
But to go do something for the Lord
and have follow through on it
is the servant's heart.
It's maturity that makes it follow through.
And we're all maturing in those areas, right?
So we could get excited about the building.
I mean, I think we did have it in a service.
Like, yeah, you know, extravagant giving is going to happen.
We're going to get over there.
I was like, yes, and amen.
Woo, woo, woo, woo, woo.
You know, it can end up being like that
because there's work involved.
There's meetings involved.
There's dealing with the county involved.
There's just all kinds of stuff.
There's money involved.
Huh?
And so all of those things
are all forms of service.
There's time involved.
And you use your time for a service.
You're either serving yourself
or serving God.
Amen?
And so then all of those things
are like a spending.
And here's why I think
that tithing God just sets it up
because it checks the heart.
Because we can intend to just be a giver
and whatever on our own
and we're amazing and we'll go to do this.
But when he sets up a pattern of how you do it,
it will hold you to that.
It will hold you accountable.
And it will challenge every aspect
of your intentions.
Yeah.
But the cool part about having your intentions challenged
is like, go ahead and grow me, God.
Because you asked me to do something
that's bigger than who I am.
I can't get there without growth.
See, so this is why he'll lay some things out
and he'll say, just be faithful to these things.
Because those are the things that are going to grow us
on the journey in that servanthood
and suddenly we're doing the thing he asked us to do
and we never thought we could.
It gets crazy.
And you go, how do I even get here?
I don't even know.
It's called faithfulness.
But to be faithful,
you have to be full of faith about each thing.
You must have faith regarding this church.
Because you faithfully come to prayer.
You must have faith that he hears you.
The more full of faith,
the more we're in that servant mode.
It's just like, but you don't start out there.
You start out being filtered.
That's the dying to self.
That's everything we've talked about for the last two years.
It's on the move is when this thing happens.
This is why he said it's the doers that are blessed, right?
It's not those who mentally think about it.
It's not those who go, we'll send someone else.
It's actually the blessing comes,
the empowerment to prosper,
to have success down the road is when we get up.
Not in our own strength, but we got up.
And our getting up said, I will serve.
And so the greatest among you is the servant of all.
But then we'll translate that to,
I'm going to be the hardest worker here.
Well, that's not really what it's saying either, right?
He's looking for faith on the earth.
Faith pleases him and faith will put you...
Faith doesn't just sit there.
Faith is always believing for something that will move you.
It can't just be any hears faith.
No, it's a dog hitting the end of the chain.
It's like, let's go, let's go, let's get this thing moving.
Faith does that.
And to be full of faith, you're going to move.
You're going to come into a servant's heart.
And in serving, you will be filtered.
Right?
It's crazy stuff.
You can be sitting here in the service.
The anointing come on you.
Somebody has a prophecy over you.
You're crying.
You're just shaking.
It's like, this is Jesus.
Yes.
Okay, now go do that.
You're like, what?
You know, first you feel inadequate.
Okay, but then what do you grab a hold of in that inadequacy?
Am I doing what he asked me to already do?
I'm not letting go.
Like if he asked you to have another child,
you don't quit taking care of the other ones.
You know what I mean?
Like, we already took care of you.
You had breakfast before.
So now we're on to this new thing.
People serve the church and serve God like that.
They're over here.
Then they're over here.
Then I got it.
That didn't really feel right.
Now I feel called to this.
And it's like, stop.
Calm it down, soldier.
Breathe.
And then just get a little more methodical even.
I'm going to learn how to tithe.
I'm going to learn how to show up.
I'm going to learn how to be faithful.
When I say I'm going to do something that I'm working on,
holding to my word.
All of those things are the character foundation of servanthood.
That's that steward's heart.
But, you know, that's why you don't give a million dollars to your four-year-old
because he doesn't have the capability of stewarding it.
I can remember, I think it was Ezra and...
Yeah, it was Ezra and Uriah, my grandson.
And I had all this monopoly money and fake money in the basement.
And they thought it was real.
And I remember them coming out.
I'm like, we got buckets of money because I had them in buckets.
I think we used them for a game or something like that.
And they were just little and they're like, we're rich.
And they just kept throwing it in the air.
And I'm like, and that's what it would look like if I gave you a million dollars.
Right? It's like, we're going to get toys.
We're going to get...
And then I explained to them it wasn't real.
It was really disappointing to them.
They were just like, are you sure it looks like money?
And it's like, no.
So, but God doesn't do with us where he's like, here, you know,
here's a million dollars and then go, right?
So think about this.
We've been asked to be extravagant givers.
How many of you were there?
Three different services that was brought up.
That's how I can find it so far.
There's three different services that that was brought up.
And what did we all say?
Amen.
Yeah, let's do this thing.
Strav, again, what?
Right?
Because we don't know where to place it in our mind.
And I think we're going to end up visiting that.
Because if you don't know where to place something,
you don't know how to have faith about it.
Does that mean we're all doing the same thing all at the same time?
No.
It's called faithfulness to God.
And the exact thing he tells you to do,
you do it extravagantly.
It can come down to that simple,
but we'll make it bigger in the mind.
Like, he's going to ask me to sell my house.
You know, he starts freaking out because we use the word extravagant.
He might.
But if you're full of faith, that won't even bother you.
You might have a moment, but then you'll be over it.
He's not a thief.
He's not some...
He's not going to do that to his children.
So we don't fear the word extravagant.
But, you know, I've been practicing in the chump change,
you know, the ten bucks,
and adding a five to it.
If I'm giving something to somebody,
like, you know, you need some gas money,
I want to add a five to it.
Well, that's not extravagant.
Extravagance millions of dollars.
Because you use the word extravagant.
Well, for me on the day that, you know,
that's all I have in my pocket, that's extravagant.
That's the starting point of somewhere I'm going.
But I'm not looking to stay there.
I want to bring a cause and effect.
I want something to just, like, change inside of me.
Inside of me where I don't even have to think about it.
I just know.
I just know this is God, this is what I'm going to do.
I don't, I don't overthink it, underthink it.
I just know.
We should do that with healing.
We should do that with deliverance.
We should do that with all things that we've studied
and showed ourselves approved, right?
And that becomes, it abides in us,
and we begin to trust him.
And then we have the kingdom mine on it.
But the fear will go through a congregation
just when you say the word giving.
I don't know what it is if it's like,
we're going to ask you all to do the same thing.
And we're going to ask.
Actually, we're talking about what God said.
Right?
And we've seen all kinds of stuff.
But there's like this fear, and the brain can't lock into,
what are you, what are you asking me to do?
What, what, what, what, what?
Then add the word extravagant to it.
That'll freak out your neurons right there.
And you're like, yeah, I agree.
Something we're doing so, I don't know.
Hope someone here is giving extravagant.
I mean, it can really take you out of faith,
but to be full of faith
means each of us is hearing from God
what he's asking us to do.
But I just, I'm, I'm, he's a God of more than enough, right?
So he anoints our head with oil
and our cup runs over.
So he's never, that servant who's like,
do you want a little something, a little tea?
It's like, oh, sorry, I spilled that all over you.
You know, I mean, he is that, that guy,
even in Israel or the Jews,
when they anoint people,
they don't just go like, like we do here,
like, here's the little thing on your forehead.
They're like...
They dump it on, it's extravagant.
We have to grow to even think like that
and wrap our head around it.
And if we try to put man's picture to it,
it's going to go awry.
But the intent of our heart,
where it'll sift through us,
is heading toward that stewardship
of what he's already given us.
And trying to figure out
what does he ask me to do and head there.
Let's stand.
So the greatest among us
is the servant of all.
That doesn't mean, you know,
I'm just out trying to kill myself
by working extra hard.
So, you know,
you should only be doing what he's asked you to do.
If he didn't ask you to do that,
don't.
Right?
But it's the attitude of the heart
that brings service.
And faith has to be involved.
So this is where he says
to remind yourself of the world.
That word. That's why the prayers
walked along the wall, right?
It says that in Isaiah.
And what did they do?
They reminded God of what he said.
So part of prayer is reminding,
hey God, you said,
you said if I move here from Idaho,
you would take care of all my needs.
You said that.
I didn't say that.
The church didn't say that.
We weren't like, you know, selling the deal
so Brian could move here.
We don't know how this whole thing's going to work.
I'm just giving an example of that.
It's like you said, Lord God.
Some people will take that
as we're being disrespectful to God.
When actually he's like, yes, I did.
Thank you very much.
And I also said this.
Right?
Now if you say it to him cocky,
that's a different thing.
I'm just talking to you reminding him
that your word says you said father.
So this is why the vision
booklet is so important,
because we go back and we said, well,
actually you said three years ago,
this is what's going to come to pass.
You're the ones who said
during the Friday night freedom
were group probably 25 people.
We went out and we laid hands on the fence
toward the direction of the building.
That was years ago already.
And commanded the land to come to us.
He said to do that.
Well, here it is.
What else did he say?
See,
how do we stir up our most holy faith?
But to start stirring
what he already said.
If we're trying to stir something he hasn't said yet,
it's kind of hard to stir that.
But we look in there and we're like, well,
it's already in the bowl, you know.
All right. And let's stir this thing.
Stir up your faith.
Father, we come before you
because our faith
we want stirred up
and we want to be very much a part of it.
Stir up the faith
that you've already given us.
The gifts that are already in us.
The things that you planted into our heart
when we were in our mother's wombs
that are a part of our destiny
that call the future
what it is.
And then, Lord God,
we line up with those future thoughts
and we line up with
what you said about the future prophetically
in prayers
and we call those things that are not
as though they were. We're pulling them down
from the heavenlies, Lord God.
You said you'd take care of us.
You said to my husband
and myself that that building would be debt free.
That's what you said, Lord God.
I don't know how you're going to do it, Lord, but you said.
You said, Lord God,
that the eagles would come
and they would land and they did.
And there's more on the way.
You said that, Lord God.
You said for us to
take TBO and to keep expanding it.
You said that.
Now take some of the things
that he's already told you about your life
and speak them out right now.
Praise you, Lord God.
And don't approach it. I have to tell you.
If you approach it like this, like, well, God, you said.
Like you're getting in trouble.
Well, you did say, I mean, you kind of said,
No, come boldly before his throne of grace
and you're our need.
I tell him what he said.
We're prayers walking along the wall.
We're rinding him. This is what you said, Lord God.
You said, Lord,
as we moved here
that you would add to us.
You said that the people would come
from far and near.
You said, Lord God,
that your benefits are ours.
You said we are the healed of the Lord.
That's what you said.
Your word has merit.
Your word is absolute truth.
You are not a man that you can lie.
You said, Lord God.
So we're aligning our lives this morning
with what you said.
You said extravagant giving.
It'll come from in the church
and it'll come from outside of the church.
You said,
you aligned us.
We aligned with you
to be able to be servants on that behalf.
We said yes and amen.
We said that, but you said
you'd cause it to come to pass.
And so, Lord God,
some of the weight's off of us
because it's on you.
We're just reminding you.
We remember because we believe.
That's the point of remembering.
Communion is so powerful. Why?
Because you're supposed to remember.
Amen.
What his broken body
and the blood has done for us.
That's the perfect time to be like,
oh, Lord, you said.
Let's take communion over this. Let's remember.
You said. You said, Lord God.
Whoo! This is what you did.
This is how you are.
And so we're so excited about
what you said here today.
You said that the north belongs to us.
That's what you said.
So as we go up to Red Lake,
we're already walking in ownership.
Wherever we go, it belongs to us.
It belongs to some other Christians, too.
But we're just walking in the anointing.
You've given us. You said that, Lord God.
So we're faithful. We're going to be full of faith
on the thing that you said.
You said
that we would be saved and our whole
household.
So we apply that
to our children, to our grandchildren,
to our great-grandchildren.
Oh Lord, I apply it to the ones that
aren't even here yet.
You said it, Lord God.
We would be saved and our household.
That's what you said.
Amen.
Amen. Let's have the band come
where we're saying what he said.
How about that?
You said that you sent healing
in your wings.
That's what you said.
So here for a purpose.
You said, Lord God,
as we would be faithful
to you, as we step up
full of faith, that faith moves mountains.
That's what you said. So whatever
is in the ways of any
of our life's commands
and the things that you've set up
in destiny, move out the way,
mountains.
The Lord has said
we have the authority to tread.
The Lord has said
greater is he that is in
us than he that is the world.
That's what you said, Lord God.
So we choose to believe it.
You said we are blessed
in the country and in the city
and in our going in and our coming out.
You said that.
Lord God. Now there's some ifs.
Like you said, you are the way,
the truth and life. You also
said you're the resurrection and the life.
So anything that's dead within us,
you're going to resurrect it into new life.
It's going to look like you.
We're so excited that we are in Christ.
But Lord, you said
that you would bring
about change in all things
because the blessing
brings change.
You said that as we give, Lord
God, that we should receive.
You said that.
Amen.
We released some things in the
offering price because he told us to do it.
But he also has promises
attached to it.
Amen.
You said, and you will multiply.
Multiply.
You said, Lord God.
Hallelujah.
See, this is a practice
that people have a problem with because
it jives wrong.
They get worried like, can I say that
to God?
He's expecting us to repeat what he said.
It's called the confession
of your mouth. How did you get saved?
If you confess with your mouth, believe
in your heart, right?
Yes.
That he did all the things he needed to do
for us, we will be saved.
Amen.
So we have to say.
So sometimes our piehole is stuck though.
And we're whispers.
We don't talk that way to our family
members.
We're bold about what we want
and different things like that.
But there's something that happens
that the heart feels like,
I don't know if I can say that.
I mean, I'm actually declaring this.
I'm saying it to him.
For us to move ahead
in any area of service,
whether it be the building or whatever,
we have to be able to declare what he said.
The power is in the word by the
spirit.
You have to have the spirit, but you have to
have the word.
See it?
Hallelujah.
Well, before we start singing, let's declare
some more things.
It gets jiggy though, doesn't it?
It's easier to do if the music is playing, because then
we can kind of put some things out
and not feel real intimidated.
There's some things I have learned to declare.
I don't care if I'm at Walmart.
My body is hurting.
I'm like, I am the healer of the Lord.
I try not to look weird.
I try.
But, I'm dealing with me at that moment.
I'm talking about what God said.
That's what he told me.
He told me he would rescue me.
He told me he would sustain me.
That's what you said, Lord God.
I'm just walking in the things that you told me to do,
because you said.
So, when we align our servanthood
up to what he said,
that's what fills us full of faith.
And whether we feel like it or not,
we go toward what he said.
If you can't speak what he said
out your mouth, you'll get stuck in reasoning.
Well, I don't see how we're going to do this.
I don't know.
Maybe pastors got a good idea
how this whole thing is going to come to pass.
But, you know, I'm just here. I'm just praying.
I'm hoping and believing.
What?
Yeah?
Maybe he'll go up and he'll say,
won't you help me?
And then people will just start extravagantly giving.
What?
We have to come up into faith.
It's faith that moves the mountains.
Woo!
And we come out of duo thinking.
Lord God, because you said,
if we stay in duo thinking,
we shouldn't think that we're going to receive anything.
So that's how important it is
that we get a single mind
and we're united
on what he's told us to do.
Singleness of thought.
It gets rid of the duo.
Doubt us the word standing in two places
at the same time.
It's like being between
tied to two horses' tails.
And you don't know who's going to get slapped
and take off running.
You don't want that.
So you said, Lord God,
that if we come to him
in singleness of mind.
Singleness of mind.
Our faith is set.
I don't care what our emotions feel like.
We set our mind according to Romans
and we set our faith
because of what he said.
Now I'll even challenge you
in this thought.
Christianity is awesome
when you come and God blows
your face off just with the anointing
and you're like,
that's such an awesome service.
But if you get in the habit
of that's how you're going to move ahead
you're just waiting on that service
that's going to have some more anointing.
Another service that's going to have some more anointing.
You're not going to get anything done.
You declare what he's already said
and faith without works is dead.
You get moving in the works area
declaring it and boom when the anointing
hits you you're like, thank you I needed that strength.
And you just keep going.
But in full gospel circles
many times it's about the glory moment.
The goosebumps.
He's looking for faith among us.
He's looking for the faithful.
He's looking for those that are
willing to move ahead. Hallelujah.
Hallelujah.
Let's just lift our hands to him.
Father, we just
confess that if there's any fear in us
that's afraid of what you said.
Because once we say what you said we said it.
And it's out there.
Which means we have to follow
what we've declared and chose to believe.
And that requires
some service on our part.
So many times we stay quiet.
So God help us
wash us clean
of all fear
and shore us up
in the area of stewardship.
That we become so sure
of what stewarding our time looks like
our emotions look like
our mental capability. Lord God
make us so sure
that we can walk with you.
Wherever you want us to go
Lord God we'll just walk
in the backdrop of your anointing
as we follow
the glory coming off
of your garment.
Hallelujah.
Hallelujah. So he told us
in Romans set our minds
that's where we got to be taught.
That's where the five-fold anointing like teach the crowd out of us.
Come on, come on, let's get it.
And then you move from
setting the mind like this is what I choose to believe.
Then you set
the heart.
And then you set your level
of faith.
I choose
life
that I might live. I pray right now
we pray right now for all those suffering cancer
that have come in these services
and a lady recently on stage four
is what they told her.
And we declare what the Lord
has said. Healing is the children's
bread. It is the children's
bread and we eat of you
every day. So anything that's opposite
of the father's kingdom that doesn't belong
in our body has to go.
It has to go. It has to leave right now.
We can declare that because of what he said.
We're not beggars
so we're not going before the throne
begging him for this to happen.
We're declaring what he already said.
Oh God
thank you for complete healing
for all of those who have stood
at this altar and those in the seats
in both churches and up north
Lord and they're coming against
sickness disease
and we're doing it by what
you said.
Thank you for that Lord God.
Thank you for that Lord.
Now it might feel like I'm jumping around
but this is how the Lord has given it to me.
If you have your checkbook on you,
if you have your wallet on you
or just think about it in your heart
I would start declaring something
over it. And that is
you don't rule me.
You thought I was going to do the
won't you help me
and God's going to do this
I don't know what his intention is
for your life
but I do know
that if
that thing somehow is our God
somehow it slipped in
and it siphons glory
off of where glory is supposed to be
that's when you have the overflow
yes I've got a great job it's me
but when it's not flowing well
And it's on the undercurrent.
Don't allow it to be your God. So let's just declare that right now. Our checkbook's not our God. Our bank account's not our God.
We don't rely on our source's credit cards. Those might be tools. They're just tools. That's a stewards language.
Here's the tools you give us. We'll use the tools. But they are not our God. You are our God.
You are our direction. You're the way. You're the truth about our giving.
You're the truth about our life. And nothing shall rule us. That's this earthly realm.
Part of suiting it is learning how to master it.
Thank you, Lord God. Thank you, Lord God. Fear you have no place here. You have no place here. You have no place here.
Do you know if you have fear regarding your finances when the pastor speaks about giving, you won't even be able to hear him.
Same way if you were full of fear and I was speaking about healing and your suffering cancer, you won't even really be able to hear me.
Fear is not of God. Leave now.
We just reset ourselves. We set our mind and we set our faith in a receiving mode. We want truth, Lord God. We want truth.
So we can get up and do the thing you've asked us to do with no fear. No fear. No fear. Full of faith. Full of faith.
