We're going to pray for some people here this morning and then some online, but I have to unleash a concept first so that we're all in agreement on how we're going to go about it. Does that sound good?
Yeah, all right. Well, I woke up around four o'clock this morning with something just so intense in my heart. It's an old song we used to sing in Colorado. We sang it a lot.
We had a few really good Jewish songs. Actually, they're good flavor to them or whatever. But what I woke up was with this song just coming up so strong in me that it was just like, you know how when you have a dream or something that it feels like you're in it, not like you're listening to it, like, I'm in the song and it's in me and I'm in it.
And so it talks about in the scripture and the song is based around that, Awake O Israel, out of your slumber for the truth has set you free. And out of Zion comes your deliverer in the year of Jubilee.
So I was in the song and the song was in me this morning. It's still really strong on me right now. And what it is is about three scriptures put together and they made a song out of it.
Which then I said, what, Lord? What are you trying to say to me? And so when you take it apart, those scriptures, the truth will make you free is how it says it. And so God's bringing us into more and more truth.
And we're getting to a point where it's like his desire for us is to burst forth and be made free. Positionally, we are free. But for it to manifest, we're still looking for some things, aren't we?
Yeah? And so Awake O Israel is the type of salvation, the type of God's people we are, his people. And as that's coming up, it's like there's a great awakening.
So I started thinking back to some of the things I've been re-listening to this last year's Open Heavens. And when Anthony was speaking, he referred back to Pastor Igor and both of them saying the same thing.
That there's awakening over this body, like over the house of God, that there's a great awakening, right? And so for him to now say to me this morning, Awake O Israel, it's like, well, something's going to wake up today.
Something's going to happen today where we're going to see what we couldn't see before. But isn't it interesting when you wake up?
Some of us just have an inner timer that just, you know, like I can tell myself many times, you've got to be up by this time. And boom, I'll be up half hour before that.
Just like my subconscious knows, get her up. And I'm just up, right? There's other times you're in a sleep that shaking you is hard to wake you up. Amen?
I think I slept like that on vacation, like drool, come, you know, just like, you know, in this deep level of sleep. And so if you have to be awake, you're just not instantly awake.
So there's some things we awaken to quicker than others. But for him to have said prophetically in this last open heavens that awakening is over us, that means we're sleeping certain areas and that's not a condemnation.
Sleep can be a type of just being out, you're in a place of rest even, and it's not time for that to be revealed. Death can also be a sleep.
And so death can have touched us in an area and caused us to be asleep. And we're in a slumber and we're not seeing the things that we need to see.
So all of us are conquering areas. All of us are moving ahead. He's got assignments for us. We've rehearsed many of those assignments for the body.
But then you have your own personal assignments that he's called you to. And we need a great awakening for that to happen.
And prophetically, even, you know, bigger picture, Oral Roberts saw that vision so many years ago of the sleeping giant.
Right? And the last day's revival, and all of a sudden there's a great awakening. And as this giant is coming up, demons are jumping off of its chest.
And, you know, things, when you wake up, darkness flees. Because when you're awake, you're in the light. Be in the light as he is in the light.
And light, you know, darkness hates the light, doesn't it?
And so he's been bringing us into more and more light. And we need to really pay attention to even those sermons, the series that pastors in and the different ones that are speaking here.
Because it's very prophetic in the timing of what is to be revealed.
The things that he wants us to wake up to right now is a new area we can't assume we know.
Right? We can't assume, like, no, we already, I learned this in Bible school, or I, you know, taught a Bible study on that or what.
No, he's going to awaken us to something that we're not presently seeing.
Now, when Anthony was speaking at, I think it was January 6th, he was speaking and he said, he said, I'm going to speak to you.
And plant seeds, right? But I believe the Lord wants to awaken the seed that's already in you.
To awaken what you already think you know. To awaken what was already planted. The thing that is sitting dormant, the thing that's there.
So I did send a picture of germination. Do you guys have that picture? Yeah, we'll go ahead and put that up.
And there's no way I can deal with this all this morning. So this will get dealt with in other prayer times.
But this is seed in the ground and moving up into growth out of the ground.
So I'm just, I mean, you got to catch this because I'm going to go so fast at this. There's not enough time to deal with everything.
You've got your seed unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it abides alone.
So the only way that you can reproduce or have fruit is you got to die.
What have we been talking about forever? The sifting and the dying and even the sifting is before you're shaking out the next seed, right?
That has to die and go into the ground. And so we willingly say, Lord, I want to die and I want to go into the ground.
The ground around us many times, you know, what do we bury bodies in?
The physical body is dirt and water. And then we put it back into dirt and water.
So the seed gets planted into the ground. And here's the thing we call it grave.
The word grave is out of the word grief.
So this world has been touched by sin. And the grave actually stands for a grieving that goes on.
It's like a place of loss. And this dirt and water has been touched by sin that I live in.
And the dirt and water of the ground has been touched by sin.
And so here we're planting, we're dying to ourselves spiritually and we're laying ourselves into a ground that's been touched by sin, right?
Are you with me so far? And so the seed that we are is encapsulated.
And what's inside of it is the life of God. It's spiritual, right?
You ever take a seed apart and peel it and look in the inside and all that?
It's just a thing. But there's a spiritual life inside of it that causes it to come forth.
Our spiritual life that he planted inside of us, we are new creations.
But he also planted the fact that we operate by faith.
Faith is that part that's sitting there. As we die to self, our flesh has to go under.
And it's in there. And there's a grieving process that goes with that.
You know, you're like, I'm in grave right now.
He's corrected me on some things. He's asking some things from me.
I don't even like where I'm at. And you'll be in what you feel like grave.
But you've chosen to die to self and plant yourself.
So that outer hard part on the outside of the shell kind of thing of the seed has to break off.
And the inner side of the faith has to come up, right?
So what happens is many times we will pray from the outside for healing or those things.
Because really what we're looking for is the anointing of God to show up on a service,
to show up on a person, to show up in the atmosphere.
The anointing is the power of God that breaks every yoke of bondage.
This is all basic stuff, but we're just trying to draw a picture here.
So we pray from that and we're like, if I could just get this over onto you, then you would be healed.
But so many times in the scripture it talks about your faith has made you whole.
Where is your faith? It's not on the outside of you. It's in the inner part of you.
So we can have a ton of word seed planted there.
And it needs to come to life and it comes to life by faith.
So we have to have the faith inside the seed that's been planted, which is the word,
to let that thing come alive and become where it becomes a plant.
It pushes outside of the grave walls, amen, and pushes up and out.
So on the outside really what the anointing is, is the heat of the fire.
The sun is fire, right?
And so when it shines on the ground and heats up the ground,
and that tells the ground and the seed, it is time for you to raise from the dead.
That's what it says.
So you don't know Christ and you come into a service that's so anointed.
All of a sudden inside there's a calling to who you are, that faith person inside,
that it's time for you to be raised from the dead.
And you just know you have this need, this call to God.
That's that faith inside the seed.
The seed can sit there in the ground and do nothing and you'll produce nothing.
And yet he wants us to come up into the light, be in the light as he is in the light.
So we have rain also. We'll pray, Holy Spirit, send your rain.
Well, four, send your rain so that anointing of rain comes down and touches all the seed that's already been planted.
What is the seed but the word? Who is the word but Jesus?
This is farm and talk, believe it or not.
So what's interesting and most seeds, when I looked it up,
most seeds, they break that outer shell off.
That's that faith just going, okay, I'm engraved right now.
I'm in the dirt right now.
I'm in such an earthen place really right now.
But there's this life inside that says there's more and where is that more?
I look to the hills, where does my help come from?
I look up, he is the lifter of my head.
Isn't it interesting how plants will do?
They're all like this and then suddenly as they're pushing up through the soil,
it's almost like they're lifting their head.
You see that?
So here we are, the lifting of the head is taking place.
At any point if they just stop, if that faith inside of them would just stop,
they'd die in the ground.
They just say earthen, right?
But because of the sun, because of the anointing, because of that heat,
God is literally calling that seed and saying,
the faith that's in that seed that says,
I'm coming alive, I'm going to reproduce.
I want you, right?
The point of lifting our head is we're in an upward motion of worship.
We're deciding, we're going to come out of something earthen
and be a part of something very spiritual, right?
The kingdom of the living God.
So this is why praise is important.
Praise is important because you might have just died in something
and now you feel like you're in grave.
What are you going to do?
Out of Zion comes your deliverance.
Out of worship comes your deliverance.
In the year of what? Jubilee.
Jubilee is that part that literally is talking about the year of freedom
or the year of absolute forgiveness.
The word forgiveness means a great sending away.
I always see the great sending away of, you know,
if I lead someone to Christ and they say,
God forgive my sins, I just hear it in my spirit.
There's a great sending away.
The memory of everything is still there.
But the power of it...
He sent it away.
Isn't that powerful?
And so here we are.
The Lord is spirit.
And where the spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
2 Corinthians 3.17 says that.
The word liberty means emancipation from bondage.
If the seed stays in grave, it stays in bondage.
Bondage to itself in the outer shell.
Bondage to the earth that's around it.
But here's where something changes.
As that seed breaks forth,
and it's looking to the hills, where does it help come from?
It's looking to the sun.
It's looking for the anointing.
It's being called up out of earthen things,
earthen ways of thinking.
And it begins to look up.
This is what happens.
It starts sucking any nutrients and everything
out of this earthen soil.
Isn't that interesting?
So in some sense, it's calling things that are not as though they were.
I had nothing. I'm here in the grave.
I don't know, you know, feel some water.
I feel some heat.
And all of a sudden, when it starts to come alive,
what happens is as it's coming up out of the ground,
it's demanding something of its surroundings.
Just like the Scripture that says
the wealth of the wicked is laid up for the righteous.
We can walk through this wicked world,
but you know, we can require something of it.
Since I'm in faith, whatever is in the nutrients
of the soil around me, even though we're in the earth,
you got to give it up to me.
You got to give up those things
that you think you're going to withhold from me.
They belong to me.
And part of that's from the sun,
and the other part is from the rain.
See how the anointing from the outside is so important.
But our faith from the inside is hugely important.
He wants to awaken the seed that's already been spoken.
The seed that you've already read.
The seed that you kind of talked about
or did a Bible study on,
but it still hasn't become alive in you.
And that happens when you're in worship,
because worship is that lifting of the head.
You're pushing through the earth in ways,
even in your dirt and water that you're living in.
You're pushing through that to worship many times,
because this doesn't want to do it.
Our surroundings doesn't want us to do it.
And if you have grave thought,
like you're never going to pop out of the ground,
you will think like grief,
and your speech will be like grief.
The speech will sound like we're never getting out of here.
I died to myself, and lay down,
and you know he said,
lest a grand of wheat falls on the ground,
dies, it abides alone.
I don't see where anything's happening.
We start talking like that.
We're actually talking the same as the grave that we're in.
Jesus was raised from the dead on the third day.
The first day is to establish that it is.
It's the beginning of the end.
And the end is when it's finished.
When it's done, and it's come complete.
The second day is that dividing out the things.
The third day is that revelatory,
revelation, resurrection power from the dead.
So we can be planted in one area,
and have our head just about poking out of the ground,
and have another area where we're like,
I just died to that.
I'm grieving over this, but I'm victory over this.
And I'm ruling over this,
and now I've come out of the ground to the point,
branches are growing off of me,
and I'm getting ready to produce fruit.
So soil, you must give up.
Anything that I need, earthen area,
give that up to me.
And it comes by faith.
You see it?
So we go after healing.
It's very much like that.
The word comes into us.
And yes, the anointing from the outside.
You can be in a service of such strong anointing,
where it just like blows your face off.
You're like, oh, right?
But then you walk out the door and you don't feel nothing.
You ever have that where you're just like, huh?
But yet he's trying to say,
the anointing from the outside needs to connect
to the kingdom of God, which is faith inside of you,
in such a way that the seed who Jesus is,
the life force that's in there,
is going to come alive.
And he will lift your head.
And you will push through the soil
of this grave grief around you.
Amen?
So when you look at that song once again,
O Waco Israel,
when you died to something,
it's just dormant.
And you'll go through a little bit where you're like,
I'm so in the grave.
I can't believe he asked me to do this.
I just, I don't even know why.
It's a dead zone.
I don't even know how this is going to happen.
Where are we going to get our needs met?
How is this going to take place?
I can't see, we'll say many times,
I can't see how this is going to happen.
That's because you're in grave talk right now.
Right?
But there is a third day.
Right?
The resurrection power of the Lord Jesus Christ
will bring you up out of that grave
in that way of thinking.
So there's a process that we're in.
And I feel like there's some of us that
popped out. There's some of us
who are just lifting our heads.
Some of us are out of the soil in certain areas
and you're like, I need more nutrients.
I can't even...
What I lived off of before,
financially, emotionally, spiritually,
I have to have so much more.
Because now, I don't know why,
since last year to this year,
it's like, oh, I need more.
Right? We're all at different stages.
And so the awakening
is going to hit every stage
of where you're at.
Now, when the pastor is talking about tithing,
it's not to...
It's not to settle an argument.
Because that's how they present it online.
It's like, do you believe in tithing? No, I don't.
There's like arguments all over the place.
When it's a principle
of this very thing.
Because what he does is
he requires something of the seed
when you're in grave.
He requires faith
that he put in the seed.
He gave us a measure of faith
when we chose to die
to self and his...
He made us a new creation.
He gave us a measure of faith.
We were born with that.
And so he has a full trust.
Like, you go ahead and plant yourself.
I will shine on you.
I will water you.
But you have to make a choice to come up.
You have to make a choice
of worship.
Tithing is a choice of worship.
It's a check of the heart.
So are so many other things.
Right?
Well, we like to pick and choose
which ones we like the best.
I don't really like that one.
But this one's really cool, so I'll die.
I'll give him that.
I like to worship.
That's my way of...
It's a form of worship. It's tithe.
Because what it's saying is my passion
is for you
to the point of obedience.
You ask this of me?
I will give this to you.
And you can have grave all around you.
But what gives you eventually right
to require something of the earth?
So we're not little victims in the ground
and we just don't know how we're going to get out
and what's going to give us nutrients or whatever.
No, actually the plant will get to a point
where it will demand something of the earth.
It starts with that outside source
bringing us to life.
The water and the sun.
But then it will
turn where our roots come down
and we're like, you know what?
I'm requiring something of you.
Earth.
Give it up.
Give up the finances.
Give up the information.
Give up the things that we need
around. Give it up.
And if it's been unsanctified
because the earth and things
have been touched by the...
God will change that too.
It's called the blessing.
He will bring the blessing where there is curse.
Amen?
Do you see that?
So, where the Spirit of the Lord is
there is liberty. The word liberty means
emancipation from bondage.
It means a graduating out.
Can you see how that looks like a graduating out
of the grave?
We should all have the testimony
of grave times.
Like, I came from that.
I remember the day I died
for that thing.
I remember the day I started breaking out of that
thing and it was so hard to realize how
hard the shell was on the outside
of me. My heart was.
But then I decided,
here's where I am. I'm going to root
down in this.
And I'm going to start requiring something.
That's the faith that says I'm headed
towards something bigger.
I'm required something
of this earth
that's going to support
where I'm going, which is something bigger.
Resurrection power.
Resurrection power
is the awakening.
Amen?
It's the great awakening.
And so Jesus is the resurrection
in the life, but who dwells within
us by his kingdom
is the resurrection in the life.
So we are the seed
in this earthen vessel.
And when we choose
to just say, I'm just going to plant myself
I don't even know what to do. I'm going to plant
myself. And
you do that, you will go through
this form of reproduction.
And the whole time
he's saying, and you will produce fruit.
So whatever the big picture is of what
he told you to specifically do with your
life, and if you haven't gotten that
yet, it would be good to get that.
At least something of it.
So you go toward big picture, but you
heard pastor and I always say, you got to
have detail to detail to get to big picture.
Detailed to detail
looks like that.
I got an area I'm just cracking
out in. I know it.
There's areas, like
I am actually, I know that
I'm a pretty good size tree in these areas
because people come to me for shelter.
And the seed and the
reproduction, I can plant to them
and they can start a whole new tree.
I know I'm that in certain areas,
but I'm still
in areas dying to self for I'm just
cracking out and I'm figuring out
how hard the outer shell
of this is, because I'm
trying to get the faith
to push past this
and the creation that he put inside
in that area to come out and
then become brave enough at some point
that I planted down enough that I can look
to this grave that we're planted
in and go whatever
I require something of you.
I'm going to call things that are not as though
they were. You are going to
help me get up out of this ground.
You are beneath me.
You don't get to hold me
in this grave.
I'm going to use the grave
for the nutrients I need.
And I'm going to push forth. Awake,
O Israel. Out of your slumber
for the truth has
set you free. But out
of Zion comes your deliverer
in the year of Jubilee
in the year
of the great sending away.
See it? Okay,
so we're going to pray for a few people who
who need healing. And there's
a couple people online that we're going to speak
into or whatever. This was
just so short and so, you know,
there's so much depth if you
dig into it. It's so simple
on one hand, but it's the simple things
of God that have the most depth.
Right? Because
when we see it simply, we're like, oh, I know that.
No, you don't know that.
You go back to that simple
thing. And he is calling the church back
to the basics because we like to
be going after all the big stuff out
here and stuff. Sometimes we're
inventing stuff that isn't even him,
even though he's the same yesterday, today and forever.
It's like we go back to the basics
and milk that.
There's something in what you already
know that he wants you to apply.
It will cause
an awakening. So an awakening
for you could be
that there's a shell.
You planted, but there's a shell
that's got to come off your heart.
That'll cause an awakening.
It could be for you that you need
to lift your head and see who your
source is. Head toward
the heat that's coming on you. Stay in the
anointed one. Stay in the rain.
Amen?
Sometimes we even
call on the fire, which is a
higher level of the heat.
The fire is what takes care of all the weeds
that are up top that are wanting to suck
the life out of the soil before you get the life
out of the soil.
So then we just ask God for fire
and he burns that off. So we have
a clear spot to come up.
Amen? So he's
wanting this from the outside, but
he's requiring us from the inside
his worship
our giving
our heart change
the release of the shell that's
on the outside of us and the lifting
of our head.
You are the way the truth of life.
You are the answer.
Let's stand. You are the one.
You are our deliverance
in the year of Jubilee.
For out of Zion
comes our deliverance.
Out of the
house of praise comes
our deliverance
in the year of Jubilee
in the time of a great forgiveness
in the time of a great change
out of Zion comes us.
And so we choose by choice right now
to awaken.
You've shaken us.
You've turned the light on.
You've called to us.
You've said come on get up. You've said
you've got to get ready. You have said
so many things to the body that have
to do with awakening Lord.
Awaken our hearts
where the faith comes alive.
We stir that up
this morning in the name of Jesus.
We stir that up.
Hallelujah!
We're coming up out of this grave
but we're taking anything
that can profit with us
as part
of funding the kingdom.
Funding what
you've called us to do.
Funding that in the name of Jesus.
