Well, we've got a lot to cram in a short period of time here this morning.
And I'm trying to figure out how I jump just right into that, right?
We're going to start by... usually you have the word first and then you take authority over something,
but we have enough word here in our hearts that we can use for taking authority over some things here this morning.
Now, just letting you know, I'm going to be teaching on the demonic realm
and dealing with the basics of deliverance and stuff up in Red Lake for probably the next five weeks.
So just give me in your prayers for that, or keep them in your prayers,
because they're really the ones that are about to get delivered.
So that part's kind of cool.
But at the same time, I have had... there's probably been about four tragedies this last week,
and one just happened last night.
For those of you who know the Borgensen family, they lost their daughter in a boating accident.
So we're going to pray for them this morning. Rachel said it's been very devastating.
And let's go ahead and stand and we're going to lift them up.
It sounds like they were trying to move a boat around a pontoon or something,
and anyway, she ended up falling off and when they got airlifted, she was already gone.
So, Father, we bring up the Borgensen family to you.
Every single one of them that's been touched by this, all the friends.
Lord God, I feel such a requirement, Lord, to just ask you for mercy.
As this type of grief hits really hard.
And it can surround people, and those who are in a weak state, especially,
it can cause things to get worse and worse and worse, whatever they're dealing with.
And so we cut that off right now in the name of Jesus. Grief, loss is a thing,
but we don't have to be buried in it. We don't have to be taken over by it,
is more what we're saying. So anyone who's being affected in that way, we bind that.
And I ask just for a lifting, Lord God, a lifting of all forms of, you know,
just grief that is beyond something that's just a normal feeling.
And Lord, we thank you that any fear that was instilled that you are ridding the family of that right now.
They will have such a peace that will be so super on the natural in the name of Jesus.
We also pray for Curt and Holly because of the loss of their son, Lord God,
and the funeral coming this weekend. We pray for souls, we pray for the people
who have been affected by this loss. And we ask, Lord, that through all of this,
that someone will come to Christ and that you take the thing that was meant for harm, Lord God,
and in someone's life make a difference in the name of Jesus.
We bind up anything that is just in an extra surge here now against the church.
We bind you in the name of Jesus. We thwart your plans.
And because we're tithers, the Lord rebuke you. The Lord rebuke you in the name of Jesus.
How dare you try to come against families? How dare you?
Now, accidents happen. I get that. But there's an onslaught here.
There's an attack here. There's snares here. And the Lord rebuke you.
See, we can say that with confidence because we're tithers.
The Lord rebuke you in the name of Jesus. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
We thank you, Lord God, that you are surrounding the families that have had loss
or the potential of loss, Lord God, and has shocked them.
You just surround them, let your angels' wings just come around them
and bring the peace of God that passes all understanding.
It's going to pass their understanding. It will keep them in Christ, the anointed one,
and his anointing in the mighty name of Jesus.
So, if you think of the Borgansons throughout the week, or Curt and Holly, please,
just keep them in your prayers.
Vince's funeral is going to be on Saturday. I'll be doing that this coming Saturday.
And then, I don't know the details on Sarah's. So, okay.
No one likes to start prayer like that, but we are here to support and be there for the people, right?
So, you can go ahead and be seated. And then I'm going to jump into what else we were going to take authority over, right?
I woke up this morning knowing that when you don't deal with certain things, then there's a depression.
Depression is just like, I'm not going to deal with that. I'll dissociate from that. I'm not going to, whatever.
And then you press that down, right? Then another thing comes along, you're like, why can't deal with that?
Or whatever you keep pressing that down, that's what causes depression.
If we can unload things and unpack them and put them where they belong, even if they're ugly,
we can put them where they belong, then that's more helpful.
But there's something unleashed that I felt so strongly last night, and it's oppression.
Which depression always plays around in that, right? Stuff we're not willing to deal with.
But oppression is that pressing from the outside, and it's very demonic, and it's very spiritual, right?
And so there's many, many scriptures on God just releasing us from oppression.
Or those who are oppressed. It'll talk about the widow who has been oppressed.
It'll talk about families going through things who have been oppressed.
So it's a pushing up against. And it's also that thing that breaks when praise happens.
Very difficult to praise when you're under oppression. Have you ever noticed that?
You're just like, praise you today. I mean, it doesn't...
And you'll give it your best shot, but it's like, ooh, because it's a spirit of heaviness.
That's what the Bible calls it. It's heavy.
So what happens many times is with that, there'll be this happen and that happen.
And you'll try the depression part. You'll be like, I'm not going to deal with that right now.
I can't handle that right now. And you push it in.
But what that does is that attracts the spirit of heaviness.
Because it's like, oh, we're just going to wait till you're breaking forward and sit on you.
And what it does is it cluster things. You know, there's this, there's that bill.
There's this with my son. There's this with this. You know, it'll start doing that.
And after a while, you're like this. Spirit of heaviness loves that.
It wants to fragment our minds out and to a point where we can't even think straight.
Right? Anybody ever experienced that? I think we've all experienced that.
It always plays with everybody at a certain time in your life.
And so what's happening right now, especially for young people, you know,
that just follow what they see on Facebook or whatever.
And some adults do the same thing, but it's more the next generation has been cultured
to believe what's on the TV, it's the television.
And on our other screens, it's almost fact, right?
And so with the bombing that took place,
there is a fear that just swept through all kinds of people.
They're like, World War III, this is what's going to happen. People start prophesying.
Right? And they're prophesying online. This is exactly what's going to happen.
And you know this. So you have to put a rain on our mouth.
Stuff's going to happen when it happens, right?
But as we're calling things that are not as though they were,
as we're bringing our faith out there,
as we're trusting him no matter what happens, we're going to be okay.
Yeah? Our biggest fear in America is that somehow we're uncomfortable.
The bigger the news report, the more like, that's going to be really uncomfortable.
You know, it's what am I going to lose? What's going to be taken from me?
All of those things. When really people are suffering,
are suffering in all this up close and personal,
they need our prayers more than ever.
We are in a great awakening.
And part of an awakening is knowledge.
And to just know enough to be dangerous, but not enough to know,
it'll slap you around. You're like, oh, this, this, and then I saw that.
We just got pieces of things. The same way the spirit of oppression
or the spirit of heaviness likes to fragment thinking.
It's like, and that's just like the time my mother and this over here
and your brain will just fragment, it won't come down to, you know,
a center thought so you can anchor yourself.
Like, here's the real project we're working on.
No, there's 70 other things that seem to be all important right now.
Anybody experience that at all this last week?
Okay. And if it tries to come on, you're like, I was fine.
A lot of times you'll be like, I was fine.
And it'll just be like this heavy thing.
And even just, you know, sharing what happened with grief and loss
and some of the family's lives.
If you add that to everything you were already feeling,
that's just like, come on, what next?
And we'll actually say that, we'll say what next,
which will lead us into believing to look for the next thing
that's going to be negative.
So we're actually more faving for the next thing
that's going to be negative than we are to be solid in faith.
Now, this is new under the sun.
This has been going on, war, all that stuff, forever.
You know, since sin has touched us, it's been there.
And so we just got to give ourselves a reality check.
I did a little bit of something like this last night at TBO.
But here's the thing, there are people who are going through
such horrific stuff and have come under such a heaviness.
Sometimes just having somebody talk to you like this,
kind of like, look at me, we need to come up out of this,
is not enough.
You've tried to do self-talk.
You try to get a reality check for somebody else.
You've tried, you know, speaking the word really loud
or whatever it is, and it's still heavy on you.
If you're here this morning or watching online,
we can pray for you as we're praying for people.
And you need that lifted off of you.
Let's pray right now.
Go ahead and stand where you are.
Just want to make sure that there's okay.
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
Yeah.
So, what we are doing is,
I'm not going to speak something that's going to take care
of all the fragments.
What we're going to do is we're going to bring that cluster
down under the power of the blood of Jesus.
And it's going to submit and stop telling us what to do.
I will think about these things when the Lord directs me to.
I will deal with that problem when he directs me to.
You don't get to be the boss of me.
See, that's you taking control.
Sometimes we'll be like, we've got to get that demon up.
No, you take control of your thoughts.
Amen?
And you name those different things if you have to
and just say you come under the blood of Jesus.
Amen?
And the spirit of heaviness,
how does that lift the garment of praise?
Is there for the spirit of heaviness?
Doesn't that seem too lame for what you're feeling?
Because the way we think of a worship service
and then you think about how intense you're feeling
and you're like, okay, that's really going to take care of that.
Right?
That's how it works.
That's why we don't get heavily involved in praise
when we're feeling oppressed.
Ooh, I can feel this thing.
It makes sense even just in the fact that
when fear gets released,
you know, when 2020 happened, when 2021,
all the different things,
when, boom, there was this thing that happened,
well, then everybody...
Right?
We breathe in like that.
And then we pause because there's a fear there
and then that's almost like the invite
for like, come.
Spirit of heaviness, come.
Right?
And we don't have enough knowledge about
whatever we're worried about.
We're feeling abandoned, whatever it is.
God wants to deal with that right now.
So, but we're learning here
that not everything is a demon
that Pastor Mary chases or
or Pastor Vern chases.
We'll come alongside of you
is the better way
to do it.
But you have to be able to release the word of faith
yourself, right?
Amen?
So, the first thing we acknowledge is that
God brought it up this morning.
I don't make this stuff up.
I had a whole thing I was going to share, you know?
And so, word of knowledge is like
you need to deal with this and so
come in and that's exactly
what we're going to do.
But that shows he cares, he sees it
and he wants you free.
Amen?
Hmm, shoot.
Why don't you all come to the front?
Instead of standing where you're at.
Because this is...
I just feel like this inside of me.
I get a holy anger
not at a person,
but I get a holy anger that
Spirit of heaviness
thinks it has a right
to even mess with us to begin with.
Right?
But it's so much of the mind.
Spirit of heaviness doesn't come on you
because you stubbed your toe and it's a physical
feeling. It comes on
because we don't know what to do
with the swirling in the mind.
Right?
So the best thing you can do
is slow everything down.
Because the devil
drives,
that's what I said last night at TBO
and God directs.
But I can't hear him yet because
everything is going too fast.
So we slow everything down.
Peace.
In the name of Jesus.
He doesn't give us peace like the world does.
With vain promises
He gives us His peace.
He is the Prince of peace.
Yahweh, Jesus,
Yeshua, the Christ
is the Prince
of peace.
And we receive that peace right now
supernaturally
slow down
the thoughts.
Slow
down. So I'm even going to pray slow
which is hard for me.
Because I'm a machine gunner.
So I want you to just repeat
after me. I renounce
the spirit of heaviness.
I will not
allow my mind
to be
fragmented out.
To be pressured.
I'm not the superhero.
I'm not Jesus.
But I am submitted to His kingdom.
I am submitted to His kingdom.
So ultimately He's in charge.
I'm just waiting on His instruction.
And I will do that.
Might feel awkward but I'm doing this on purpose.
Because I know even
with myself when this has tried to come on me
it goes right with that
driving thing. You've got to solve. You've got to call that person.
You've got to...
So I'm learning
as I'm getting gray under this color
we have to just slow it down.
That's the biggest power we have.
I'm actually not submitting to that
way of doing things.
That's not how I roll.
That's not how God rolls. I'm slowing it down.
Even when
tragedy comes and it's all around us
we're slowing it down. That's how we know this
as He prepares a table before us
in the presence of our enemies.
So how do you sit down and eat?
Right? If you're running around
doing all kinds of stuff and taking authority
and binding this or whatever. I mean we're all worked up.
Just sit down and eat.
Digest it.
He prepared it. We're going to be alright.
So Father I bind. We bind together.
Any and all things that have tried to settle
in ways of thinking
and have gone down
pathways in the mind
and revved them up
and presented things that we don't know
what to do with it. It's okay
if we don't know what to do what God does
and so we just submit it to Him.
We roll the cares over
onto Him according to Proverbs. It says
when we do that, we're like, here you go. Here's all the
care part of it.
I'll do whatever you say
for me to do, Lord, but here's the care part
of it and when we roll that over
Amplified says it this way. He will line
our thoughts up with His will.
His will is His precepts, His commands,
His ways of doing things.
Suddenly we're not thinking like
how we think. All of a sudden we're over
in supernatural thinking.
Like this is the will of God.
Right? So right now
as a church we take the cares
of this world
and roll them over to God.
You give us
assignments, Lord God? That's
our job. That's what we do. We're servants.
And we thank you for those
assignments and we'll do that thing.
But the care of it, we will not
carry. We refuse
that in the name of Jesus.
Peace.
Hallelujah.
I just got lay hands on you. Is that okay?
As we talked last night,
Father, I thank you for a deliverance
of what someone else put on her
that will lift right now.
In Jesus' name, lift up
off of her.
Lift up off of her.
From the, oh.
Yes, God.
Yes, God. Lift it.
You're the lifter of her head.
You're the lifter. Oh, God.
Thank you. So you can feel
his anointing. It's not me.
It's his anointing. Oh.
Thank you, Jesus.
Get off off of her.
You don't have a right to her.
Get up off of her in Jesus' name.
Thank you, Lord.
Praise you, Jesus.
Now, there's something about
Daniel. And when you're ready,
you can take your seats.
There's something about Daniel
who was so about prayer, right?
And
I don't have time to look it up right now
because I didn't plan for all this.
But it talks about Daniel's
gifting, was that
because he was a man of prayer,
he could solve naughty problems,
K-N-O-T-T-Y.
And we've talked about that here before
and I'm just going to remind you of that.
Naughty problems are the things that it's like,
it's so twisted.
So like, you can't even, like, what is that?
It's kind of like a ball of yarn that
hurts how I wind up
electrical cords.
My husband's like, what is that?
I don't know.
So I thought I wound the cord.
But it's like that.
It's all messy
and you can't figure out where the beginning is,
you can't figure out where the end is,
so you definitely don't know what the middle is doing.
Right?
Isn't it interesting that wisdom,
the meaning to the wisdom
is that
character of God
that shows us who he is
and the part of him
that opens us up to see
past, present, and future.
I talk about this a lot, right?
So it applies this morning.
He's talking to me just as much as he's talking to you,
that we have to
reign it in and go past, present,
future, see big picture.
Trauma says, see this.
And you're just fixated on it.
And you can get fixated on it
in a fearful way.
You can get fixated on like a pit bull
or like one time my boxer
was fixated on something.
They don't even hear you when that happens.
You're like, hey, knock it off
and you're trying to tell them,
they're doing that and they're fixated
and it's just what they see here.
So if you get offended,
that's what that fixation looks like.
I can't see any... I don't see big picture.
I don't see how we're supposed
to all work together. I don't see how they're supposed to
work out in the end. I don't remember
what was prophesied over me.
I don't remember what I felt my calling was
or any of that because I'm like right here.
This happened. There it is.
This happened and we're fixated.
Right?
There's something, there's a pattern interrupt
that has to happen where the dog goes,
what? And literally
you can see their face where they just come
out of it. Wisdom
is what we need
and it will get rid of that
fixation as we own anything
we're offended about.
I don't want to be offended with anybody.
I don't want to get fixated on the problem,
the problem, the problem.
I have to see big picture
that's wisdom.
Amen?
So part of
what oppression does,
depressions like I can't see anything.
I can't even handle, press it in.
Oppression is like
I see it all I think.
Right? But it's usually
all right here.
It's in the now right in front of you
and you're trying to grab it and you can't figure out
what the deal is. So then what it does is
if you go to try to touch it, it'll be like, you're past.
Remember when you got hurt, no one cares about you,
lalalala.
And then you're past and you're now
start congregating together
almost like against you
and your brain lights up in such a way
that the bottom part of your brain trumps
your actual ability to think.
Your frontal lobes just go, I can't.
I just, I just can't.
We're not going there.
As a church, as individuals,
we're not going there.
So I just believe God is going to
in this awakening, he's going to
wake us up.
So we're not fixated all of a sudden. We go, yeah, I see that.
But anyways, this is where I came from.
This is the call he has on me.
And that's where I'm going.
I just got to mess with the now to get there.
Right?
He's big picture.
Wisdom is big picture.
It's the whole meal deal.
He sees what we cannot see.
And when we get fixated, we're out of faith.
We're just the dog going
rrrrr.
And we're fixated.
And everyone's going, stop it.
Hey, no, get down.
But you can't,
you can't seem to control that dog.
And so he's given us the ability
as that seed inside
by faith
to look up like we talked about last week
and see him.
This is his big picture.
Mine is, ah, but
pull out of that and I'm going to see the bigger picture.
This is why we should
write down prophecies and things
of where he's
talked to us. You flip through the Bible
and all of a sudden, oh, I remember March 17th.
You know, 22, he said this to me.
Or that, oh, that's right.
I'm going to remind myself of the big picture.
He brought me all this way
to not to forsake me.
But he brought me this way because this next hurdle
I'm going to jump.
And it's going to be by faith.
And I'm so excited for my future.
See how that sounds so different than, ah, come on.
Because that's our traditional.
Ah, you know,
those things are ways of just that
expression of like, I'm at the end.
I can't figure this out.
Well, good. Now you realize he's God.
And you're not.
Amen.
