WEBVTT

00:00.000 --> 00:08.780
Good morning, good morning. We're going to be chatting on some things, but before we get to that point,

00:09.980 --> 00:16.700
during the last song I was very aware, the Lord said there's four people that almost feel like

00:16.700 --> 00:21.740
manifesting. If you don't know what that is, it's almost like I'm going to lose it right here right

00:21.740 --> 00:29.440
now. There's four people that this is going on with. And so I asked the Lord, should we deal

00:29.440 --> 00:34.540
with it right now? Because sometimes we just go there. But I think what we're going to do is

00:34.540 --> 00:40.460
bind up the works of what's happening because it's a distraction inside the person or whatever

00:40.460 --> 00:46.240
swirling on them to get them to not hear the word. And in the end, if you need prayer,

00:46.600 --> 00:52.560
we'll take care of business. Okay? So Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus and we bind

00:52.560 --> 00:59.100
up the operation of these things that are on and in and around people that are causing their

00:59.100 --> 01:05.720
brain to fire so fast, they almost can't listen. And it's causing things to be raced up to a point

01:05.720 --> 01:13.320
of panic. And I speak to you, Silencia, quiet, quiet, quiet within the soul, be bound so you

01:13.320 --> 01:19.320
cannot operate in the mighty name of Jesus. Because after all, the Word of God is about to be

01:19.320 --> 01:25.140
preached. So the demonic realm and even the power of sin has to shut its pie hole.

01:28.300 --> 01:35.120
Just saying. Okay, let's turn our Bibles to Philippians 2. And I didn't even get the chance

01:35.120 --> 01:40.300
to share this with our media because everything changed. Everything else is going to preach

01:40.300 --> 01:46.640
on change. So it's like surprise. And so, but we're going to go here, Philippians 2. And then

01:46.640 --> 01:52.720
if you have, I don't know if Pastor had it on his iPad or if it's online, that harvest,

01:53.400 --> 01:58.460
it starts with harvest. It's a circle and it talks about sifting. It's like four words.

01:59.460 --> 02:03.320
If you can look and see if you can find that and put that up, that would be great. If not,

02:03.960 --> 02:11.240
we can wrap our head around it, right? So there's been a lot of talk about sifting.

02:12.520 --> 02:22.700
Hasn't there? Everyone's so excited about this, right? We're just like, I love sifting. It's

02:22.700 --> 02:29.740
we end up seeing the production that happens after the sifting, and we know where we've been sifted

02:29.740 --> 02:37.320
before and what it produced. We're like, well, let's get it, right? You know, sometimes even facing

02:37.320 --> 02:42.200
pain to get through something, the more you retaliate like, I don't want to go through that.

02:42.320 --> 02:45.520
I don't want to feel that. I don't want to, the more it gets hyped up, it's like, just get

02:45.520 --> 02:53.660
it done. Get it done. Amen. And so we're not begging to be sifted. We just know that it will happen.

02:54.040 --> 02:59.640
Oh, thank you. Yes, the children can be released. So we're not begging for that,

02:59.720 --> 03:04.100
but here is something that Pastor brought forward, and he's going to do with this a

03:04.100 --> 03:09.060
little bit at a time, but we have to understand this this morning. There's something about

03:09.060 --> 03:19.520
even what Pastor Igor just prayed, put a demand on the Spirit, put a demand and put a banner

03:19.520 --> 03:26.720
over us that we just agreed with God on something. See, God is love, and he establishes, he is

03:26.720 --> 03:31.520
structure. He's the yes and the amen. He started it. He'll finish it. I mean, all of that.

03:31.840 --> 03:38.240
And we agreed to how he operates, and so it put a structure for us to come up to the

03:38.240 --> 03:43.060
higher thought regarding that. Right? Because we think lower thoughts, because, you know,

03:43.280 --> 03:47.800
if we're just above the earthly thoughts, we think we've arrived. You know, like, I would never think

03:47.800 --> 03:54.780
like that. No, but you'd think like this, and that's still not God. Right? So there's something about

03:54.780 --> 03:59.700
coming up to the higher thought is almost mind-blowing. It's just like, I don't even

03:59.700 --> 04:05.460
know how to wrap my head around how God thinks. It's so deep. That's why you can read one

04:05.460 --> 04:09.340
part of the Scripture and go, yep, I know what it says, and then he'll bring it back around to you,

04:09.380 --> 04:13.240
and you'll read it again. You're like, I did not see that before. Three years later,

04:13.420 --> 04:19.540
oh, it blows your face off. Same Scripture. And that's revelatory power. That's

04:19.540 --> 04:25.100
revelation knowledge. That's what this is. So we're going to go ahead and start just with

04:25.100 --> 04:36.800
reading Philippians 2, and then I'm reading from the Amplified, because it starts out in my Bible,

04:36.840 --> 04:40.660
it has a heading that says, be like Christ. So that's what went through me, and I was like,

04:40.740 --> 04:45.160
what you trying to say, God? All right, be like Christ. And those are those kind of statements

04:45.160 --> 04:49.840
like, I know we're supposed to be like Christ, I know. It's kind of like when you remind

04:49.840 --> 04:53.740
your kids of something, you know, you remember you have to, and they're like, I know.

04:55.220 --> 05:00.360
Well, if you really knew, you'd actually do that thing each time, right? That's why we remind you,

05:00.400 --> 05:05.740
shut the lights up. I know. Okay, well, be like Christ can do that same thing. The Word can do

05:05.740 --> 05:09.540
that same thing where it gets repetitive, and especially in our immature areas, we're like,

05:09.600 --> 05:16.280
I know, I'm doing it. And so we're going to visit this, because last time I was here,

05:16.280 --> 05:22.400
the Lord spoke to me very clearly, and he's been dealing with me on making sure as a measurement,

05:22.460 --> 05:29.080
we're actually doing the basics. Because we have some pretty supernatural things going on. I mean,

05:29.120 --> 05:34.600
people getting healed and just dreams and visions and stuff that a lot of people don't even operate

05:34.600 --> 05:40.800
in that, right? But if we get caught in that, and that's our main, then we forget

05:40.800 --> 05:46.440
the foundation and there's no basics. And it gets crazy, right? I'm not saying we're doing that.

05:46.620 --> 05:52.800
I'm just saying we have to remember, are we measuring ourselves against the basics? And the

05:52.800 --> 06:00.580
basics of or basic thing of Christianity is loving one another. You're like, I cast four demons out

06:00.580 --> 06:04.660
last night, and I was like, but you can't love your neighbor. You don't have the basics.

06:04.840 --> 06:08.920
So there's no foundation. And this thing that you're doing is going to come back and bite

06:08.920 --> 06:14.380
you eventually because you're not standing on anything solid, right? It's kind of mom talk right

06:14.380 --> 06:19.000
there. But there it is, right? So here we're going to just start by reading and let the word reveal

06:19.000 --> 06:25.760
itself. Therefore, if there is any encouragement and comfort in Christ, as there certainly is an

06:25.760 --> 06:31.360
abundance, if there's any consolation of love, if there's any fellowship that we share in the

06:31.360 --> 06:36.620
spirit, there's anything going on here, there is any great depth of affection and compassion,

06:36.620 --> 06:45.080
make my joy complete by being of the same mind. So Pastor Igor prayed something just a little

06:45.080 --> 06:50.680
bit ago. Lord had already told me to deal with this and highlighted that spot to be of the same

06:50.680 --> 06:57.380
mind, right? Having the same love toward one another, knit together in the spirit,

06:57.920 --> 07:03.780
intent on one purpose and living a life that reflects your faith and spreads the gospel.

07:04.300 --> 07:09.140
Well, that's meat right there. Like you had chewed that for a little bit. We don't have time to chew

07:09.140 --> 07:12.940
it this morning, so you might want to put it in a Ziploc, take it home and really chew on it.

07:13.600 --> 07:21.140
And so love toward one another, knit together in spirit, intent on one purpose and living a

07:21.140 --> 07:25.380
life that reflects your faith and spreads the gospel. So it's going to produce spreading the

07:25.380 --> 07:31.160
gospel. The good news regarding salvation through faith in Christ. Do nothing from selfishness.

07:32.940 --> 07:40.360
Oh, that's pretty basic. But to stay in that basic thing means we have to be able to see

07:40.360 --> 07:48.060
ourselves. On my best day, I might still be selfish. I don't know. I can't see it till he

07:48.060 --> 07:52.280
reveals it to me. I have to do something pretty obvious, so I was like, oh, I probably shouldn't

07:52.280 --> 07:55.940
have said that just by the reaction of everybody. Maybe that's something I shouldn't have done.

07:56.240 --> 08:00.080
But just to see it within my heart, many times we're not able to do that.

08:00.080 --> 08:06.260
Do nothing by selfishness or empty conceit through factional motives or strife. Because we know

08:06.260 --> 08:11.480
where there's strife, there dwelleth every evil and wicked thing. I can't stand strife for that

08:11.480 --> 08:16.140
reason. It's like an invitation card. Come to our party. That's what it is. You know, it's like

08:16.140 --> 08:19.840
somebody gets offended and nobody wants to deal with it or whatever. Strife. And then it sends

08:19.840 --> 08:24.560
out all these invitations to spirits and things. It's like, here dwelleth every evil

08:24.560 --> 08:28.580
and wicked thing. Come on over. We're going to have a party. Nope. I don't like to party

08:28.580 --> 08:33.080
with that. But with an attitude of humility, so saying, don't be selfish, but come with

08:33.080 --> 08:40.520
humility, being neither arrogant or self-righteous, regard others as more important than yourselves.

08:41.600 --> 08:46.320
We just did that in that prayer. He had no way to know what I was going to speak on.

08:47.060 --> 08:52.120
Do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but for the interests of others.

08:52.120 --> 08:55.240
That's pretty basic. Just do that one.

08:57.580 --> 09:01.560
That'll challenge your soul. That'll challenge your flesh just to be like,

09:01.800 --> 09:05.840
okay, so I got to include some other people here, and then I'm taking care of. Okay.

09:06.680 --> 09:11.260
Have this same attitude now. He's dealing with the attitudes in yourself, which was in

09:11.260 --> 09:19.000
Christ Jesus. Look to him as your example in selfless humility. Who, although he existed

09:19.000 --> 09:25.160
in the form and unchanging essence of God, as one with him possessing the fullness of all the

09:25.160 --> 09:31.040
divine attributes, the entire nature of the deity was in him. He did not regard

09:31.700 --> 09:37.380
equality with God, a thing to be grasped or asserted, as he did not already possess it,

09:37.480 --> 09:45.500
or was afraid of losing it, but emptied himself. See, he's our example, and the word says,

09:45.500 --> 09:49.040
you know, who are we to think we're greater than our master? Like, well, he did that,

09:49.060 --> 09:55.580
so we don't have to do that. And it's like, he emptied himself. And then it says,

09:55.700 --> 10:00.040
without renouncing or diminishing his deity, he didn't pick on himself. He didn't say, well,

10:00.060 --> 10:05.640
no, I'm not God anymore or whatever. But he did empty his self to be able to be here

10:06.340 --> 10:12.320
and operate as a human. Right? We're already here, and we're operating as humans,

10:12.320 --> 10:18.840
but we still have to empty ourself, amen, and get out of the way and let God work through us.

10:19.600 --> 10:24.000
So without renouncing or diminishing his deity, but only temporarily giving up the outward

10:24.000 --> 10:29.160
expression of divine equality and his rightful dignity by assuming the form of a bond servant,

10:29.800 --> 10:34.380
and being made in the likeness of men, he became completely human, but without sin,

10:35.300 --> 10:40.220
being fully God and fully man. And so we're kind of on the opposite thing,

10:40.220 --> 10:46.280
like we're fully human. And now we get born again, and we're back in touch with the Creator,

10:47.020 --> 10:54.620
and we're brand new inside. And now here we've crossed over into becoming like him, right?

10:55.880 --> 11:00.960
Because it's the life of God in us. It's not our own thing. After he was found in terms of

11:00.960 --> 11:05.960
his outward appearance as a man for a divinely appointed time, he humbled himself. And it's

11:05.960 --> 11:11.960
like constant, right? And this is God. Still further by becoming obedient to the Father,

11:12.120 --> 11:17.900
to the point of death, even death on the cross. For this reason also, because he obeyed and so

11:17.900 --> 11:25.360
completely humbled himself, God has highly exalted him and bestowed him the name which is above

11:25.360 --> 11:32.320
every name. That's what gave him the right to be the name above every name, right? So that at

11:32.320 --> 11:37.400
the name of Jesus, every knee shall bow in submission of those who are in heaven and on

11:37.400 --> 11:42.740
earth and under the earth. And every tongue will confess and openly acknowledge that Jesus Christ's

11:42.740 --> 11:50.460
Lord is the sovereign God to the glory of God the Father. So then, see we're still going on here.

11:50.940 --> 11:56.220
So then, my dear ones, just as you have always obeyed my instructions with enthusiasm, not

11:56.220 --> 12:03.800
only in my presence, but now much more in my absence. Continue to work out your own salvation.

12:04.720 --> 12:10.560
So there's a work part of salvation where we keep growing. It's like, I gotta continue to grow.

12:11.200 --> 12:17.860
That is cultivate to bring to full effect, actively pursue spiritual maturity.

12:19.580 --> 12:23.840
So now we can just stop there and be like, these are all basics, aren't they?

12:24.700 --> 12:28.560
He's laying out, like, here's how you live the Christian life. Here's how Jesus did it.

12:28.860 --> 12:35.800
This is what we need to do. And it's not really what we want to hear. Because it's so wonderful to

12:35.800 --> 12:40.340
talk about the power things. It's so wonderful to be able to come and share and be like, man,

12:40.340 --> 12:45.380
that person had this happened. And, you know, they puke green and cast the demon out of them.

12:45.400 --> 12:51.840
It was so high, you know. And it's like, woo. But to be able to live life like we can

12:51.840 --> 12:58.580
tie our own shoes, we have to be able to comply to these things. Okay. But now,

12:59.460 --> 13:06.400
much more in my absence, continue to work out your salvation, cultivate it, bring to full effect.

13:06.560 --> 13:12.040
We're not done cooking yet. Actively pursue spiritual maturity with awe-inspired fear

13:12.040 --> 13:18.700
and trembling. That's how big a deal this is. This is no little thing, this basic thing.

13:18.700 --> 13:23.780
Using serious caution and critical self-evaluation

13:25.060 --> 13:29.760
to avoid anything that might offend God or discredit the name of Christ. Now, sometimes

13:30.780 --> 13:34.520
people will skip a whole chapter in the Bible like this, because they're like,

13:35.320 --> 13:41.640
I just believe in grace. And I don't see where we should have to. I think looking at our sin

13:41.640 --> 13:47.040
is just having sin consciousness. See, I hear this stuff all the time. And yet their life

13:47.040 --> 13:50.440
isn't working for them, but they're like, you know, it's just so negative. You're always

13:50.440 --> 13:55.280
bringing up negative. Now, why is God putting all this to me? I can't even live this life.

13:55.480 --> 14:00.980
And now all this demand is, he's not that kind of God. He's the God of grace. Well, his grace

14:00.980 --> 14:07.400
is for you so that you can do this. Because we've already proven we can't. But his grace

14:07.400 --> 14:14.260
is here for us so that we can do this, right? So, that we might offend God or discredit

14:14.260 --> 14:18.840
the name of Christ. We do not want to do opposite of this because it actually discredits the name of

14:18.840 --> 14:26.460
Christ. For it is not your strength, but it is God who effectively at work in you, both to will

14:26.980 --> 14:33.300
and to work that is strengthening, energizing, and creating you the longing and the ability to

14:33.300 --> 14:37.940
fulfill your purpose. If you don't have a longing and ability to fulfill your purpose,

14:38.500 --> 14:44.120
then we have to allow God to do that in you, right? I have to allow God to do that in me.

14:44.420 --> 14:51.200
And it's for his good pleasure. Amen. Do everything without murmuring. Oh, come on.

14:53.700 --> 14:59.540
Right? Without murmuring. And questioning is how, you know, the Scripture talks about it in the

14:59.540 --> 15:04.100
Amplified. We're questioning the providence of God, how he operates or whatever.

15:05.320 --> 15:09.780
You know, murmuring can start out with just come on when something doesn't work right.

15:10.180 --> 15:15.200
And then whatever follows that, sometimes, you know, turn smoky in the air because we're

15:15.200 --> 15:22.120
saying other things we shouldn't say. But God is saying, you know, he's giving us instructions

15:22.120 --> 15:25.900
here, do everything nice. So there's nothing we get out of without murmuring question.

15:26.160 --> 15:29.600
Okay, so we need help with this stuff, don't we? Because this is the basics.

15:29.600 --> 15:36.260
So that you may prove yourself to be blameless and guileless, innocent and uncontaminated

15:36.260 --> 15:42.880
children of God without blemish in the midst of a morally crooked and spiritually perverted

15:42.880 --> 15:48.800
generation. Wow, does that not describe what's happening right now? So he's telling us how to

15:48.800 --> 15:56.800
operate because all around us is just perversion. It's just decrepit. It's blah, blah. That's

15:56.800 --> 16:02.480
just a real word. Among whom you are seen as bright lights, becoming shining out clearly in

16:02.480 --> 16:09.080
the world of this darkness, he wants this done so the world can see what Christ is like.

16:09.860 --> 16:17.480
He wants this done, these basics, so that we can win people. So here, the evangelist part of me

16:17.480 --> 16:21.860
over the year has gotten irritated because, and don't think I'm irritated with you if you've

16:21.860 --> 16:26.320
said this, but the evangelist part of me will blame it on that, gets irritated with this

16:26.320 --> 16:33.080
phrase. I'm just waiting for a door or window to open, and if that happens, I'll share Jesus.

16:34.040 --> 16:36.920
The door never opens neither does the window. We don't even know where it is.

16:37.920 --> 16:42.800
And we're waiting and hoping and praying. Seventeen years later, we're still waiting for the door

16:42.800 --> 16:52.000
to open. So sometimes we'll do that. Sometimes we'll say, I'm just going to try to do these

16:52.000 --> 16:57.320
basic things and really live the life. And when I really live the life, just tons of people will

16:57.320 --> 17:03.200
come to Christ through that. And I'm always like, where are they? He ever has a question like,

17:03.280 --> 17:07.560
where's the tons of people coming to Christ because you lived it so well?

17:09.620 --> 17:15.920
See, it has to be that he's empowering us with his grace. So what they see is grace,

17:16.140 --> 17:21.140
what they taste is grace, what they have is grace given to them. What they know is you're

17:21.140 --> 17:26.720
under grace, but you're in motion of heading toward working out all this with fear and trembling.

17:27.340 --> 17:31.760
The kind of fear where you have an awe and respect of God. That's why I'm headed that way.

17:32.680 --> 17:37.280
And we're real people. Real people have real success, but real people reach real people.

17:38.560 --> 17:42.680
The church does not want to reproduce, you know, plastic reproducing plastic individuals.

17:42.980 --> 17:47.960
And then we have a plastic church that's very fake. Then we just take the mask off when we

17:47.960 --> 17:54.240
leave and do our own thing. We don't want to do that. And yet this is so important right now,

17:54.340 --> 17:58.720
because it goes along with what we just prayed. So it's kind of a, I probably should have preached

17:58.720 --> 18:02.740
this first, and then you prayed that prayer. But there's something about, you know, it's

18:02.740 --> 18:06.320
naming things like murmuring and all that. And you can get exhausted. You can be like,

18:06.520 --> 18:10.480
ah, there's a lot for me to handle. That's what maturing feels like.

18:12.200 --> 18:17.900
That's why when you turn a certain age, maybe it's 16, you get more requirements or whatever.

18:18.260 --> 18:24.520
First, we're so excited to get older. You know, 16, 18, whatever. Like, I'm almost that age,

18:24.560 --> 18:29.620
and I'm almost an adult, or I'm almost whatever. And we're excited about that,

18:29.640 --> 18:34.700
but then we don't realize the filtering process it takes for us to be able to handle that.

18:35.320 --> 18:37.800
And then it starts getting painful, and then we're like, I don't like this.

18:38.600 --> 18:43.600
Well, it's the same thing in any form of maturing. We're going to feel something,

18:45.240 --> 18:50.640
but we have these measurements in the physical that says when you're 18, you're an adult,

18:50.680 --> 18:58.180
which is not true. Well, then when you're 21, what makes you an adult? Well, you can drink.

18:58.940 --> 19:05.240
Well, it's not true. We've talked about even the brain, the foundational pathways in the brain,

19:05.240 --> 19:12.700
are not an adult until between 26 and 30 years old. Jesus was gone into the ministry at what age?

19:13.580 --> 19:21.400
Because he was no longer considered a kid, right? And so the maturing process for us,

19:21.440 --> 19:27.180
and these measurements are all whacked out here in this world, you know? And so we're always

19:27.180 --> 19:30.960
looking where we can hang our hat and go, there, I've arrived. Well, the measurements are off.

19:32.880 --> 19:37.500
The measurements should be with love. That's where we hang our hat. Like,

19:37.840 --> 19:41.900
that was God through me. I don't even have the capability of doing that.

19:42.420 --> 19:44.620
He just gave me such a love for that person.

19:47.360 --> 19:52.740
And now I know I'm going to do these other steps to just protect them and see now you're

19:52.740 --> 19:58.980
maturing. It's not an age, it's a heart. It's a heart that's willing to serve and

19:58.980 --> 20:03.520
willing to change, right? All right, we're going after and then I'm going to come back and we'll

20:04.620 --> 20:12.520
apply this even more. Verse 16, holding out and offering to everyone the word of life.

20:12.680 --> 20:14.900
There's an M of our church just wanted to point that out.

20:17.580 --> 20:23.040
In order to be able to hold out the word of life, these are the things we should be

20:23.040 --> 20:27.460
operating so that in the day of Christ I will have reason to rejoice greatly because

20:27.460 --> 20:32.960
I did not run my race in vain nor label without results. So this is Paul talking

20:33.460 --> 20:39.680
and we look up to him and we're like, amazing man of God. And I'm glad he did that.

20:40.680 --> 20:45.900
And he's saying, actually we all need to do this. And I'm still at work in progress.

20:46.220 --> 20:51.440
But even if I am being poured out as a drink offering on the sacrifice and service of

20:51.440 --> 20:55.940
your faith for preaching the message of salvation until I rejoice and share my joy with you

20:55.940 --> 21:01.240
all, stick with the story. You too rejoice in the same way and share your joy with me.

21:02.060 --> 21:07.000
Then he says, but I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon so that I may also

21:07.000 --> 21:13.040
be encouraged by learning news about you. For I have no one else like him who is kindred,

21:13.520 --> 21:19.780
a spirit who will be genuinely concerned for your spiritual welfare. What did we just

21:21.140 --> 21:27.740
grab arms over loving each other in such a way that we become kindred spirits

21:28.800 --> 21:34.920
like we are one. Once again, you had no way to know that, but the spirit where I have no

21:34.920 --> 21:41.800
one else like him. It's so, it's so sad. Here's Paul. This is Paul, right? Made all

21:41.800 --> 21:48.440
this difference for Jesus. But he's like, I only got this one guy. That's sad.

21:49.780 --> 21:53.580
A kindred spirit who will be genuinely concerned for your spiritual welfare.

21:53.920 --> 21:57.760
There's only one guy I know that's actually going to continue this and care for you.

21:58.120 --> 22:06.260
Oh man, that's a big statement. The others who deserted me after my arrest all seek to advance

22:06.260 --> 22:13.260
their own interests, not those of Jesus Christ. So there's a key thing here that we're also,

22:13.260 --> 22:18.700
we know if we're kindred spirit and we're one, we're not seeking our own interests.

22:21.580 --> 22:26.580
These are measurements. If you don't know, well, maybe I am seeking my own interests. I don't

22:26.580 --> 22:31.000
know, whatever. Well, okay, the measurements are laid out for the others who deserted me.

22:31.240 --> 22:35.360
There is that feeling. And this is the temptation, even going into the new building,

22:35.580 --> 22:39.680
going after a new project, going after your new job, whatever it is that's ahead of you

22:39.680 --> 22:45.240
that's supposed to be an advancement, it will challenge you to desert the project

22:45.240 --> 22:50.840
or the people around you to leave you in the process. But you got to keep going,

22:52.680 --> 23:00.800
right? So know that that same temptation will be here. This is straight up talk, right?

23:01.080 --> 23:04.760
We can handle this, can't we? We're mature enough to handle this. Okay, so

23:05.240 --> 23:08.560
for I have no one else like him, which shows an immaturity,

23:09.140 --> 23:12.980
you know, but they're starting the gospel and they're doing this, so there isn't a longevity

23:12.980 --> 23:20.360
of a bunch of disciples and people coming up. But it's like, wow, for the others who deserted

23:20.360 --> 23:25.480
me after my arrest, like, you got arrested, I'm out. It's getting hard for so-and-so, I'm out.

23:26.160 --> 23:32.260
That person ended up becoming manic, I'm out. This person has a need greater when I'm out.

23:32.960 --> 23:39.000
No kindred spirit stays in the process with people. You're not the answer, but you stay.

23:40.080 --> 23:46.760
You have the stay power, right? For the others who deserted me after my arrest, all seek to advance

23:46.760 --> 23:51.440
their own interests. So if you're with somebody and it seems like you're powerful together and

23:51.440 --> 23:57.280
all of a sudden they go off the rails, you're like, I'm out. You're messing with my advancement.

23:58.780 --> 24:05.300
I got to get rid of you. You're messing with where I'm trying to go. It can be as simple as

24:06.240 --> 24:11.420
everything's fine. You're following the gospel and something gets preached and you've been

24:11.420 --> 24:19.060
hot pursuing a mate and you're after this guy, right? And he's amazing. And then you see all

24:19.060 --> 24:24.860
these different flaws, but that's okay. You'll change him, right? He slows me so much. He'll

24:24.860 --> 24:32.780
listen to my every word. Okay, so that's what's going on. And somebody says to you, hey, red flag,

24:33.360 --> 24:36.560
you might want to watch some things here. You want to check this out or whatever.

24:37.960 --> 24:42.740
I have some interests that I'm trying to advance in and I'm going to disregard

24:42.740 --> 24:49.220
any warnings that you see. I'm out. Now, somebody can try to destroy a good relationship

24:49.220 --> 24:53.580
by talking too much in it. And all you need is a boundary for that. Still love you,

24:53.580 --> 25:00.500
but no, right? But if you're talking yourself into something you already know, has some red flags,

25:00.760 --> 25:07.400
but somehow you're going to overlook it, amen? You're not going to want to hear truth. So then

25:07.400 --> 25:11.860
it's kind of like I'm out. You can leave the church, you can leave the Bible study,

25:11.920 --> 25:15.840
you can leave a friendship, you can leave a mentor, you can leave whatever, right?

25:17.020 --> 25:22.300
Because it's like, ah, I'm trying to advance in this. Leave me alone. I have my own personal

25:22.300 --> 25:27.480
thing. Just leave me alone. So we have to be careful when we're not into doing those things.

25:28.600 --> 25:35.040
So then he goes on and talks about Timothy was tested and he has a proven character and

25:35.040 --> 25:41.440
we're going to introduce him into all of this. So now let's go to what we've been talking about

25:41.440 --> 25:48.440
a little bit here is that circle. So do we have the... did he leave it there? Yes, I like it.

25:49.000 --> 25:55.940
Good job, hubby. All right, so we get just to jump over and I'm going to tie these things together

25:55.940 --> 25:59.540
because I didn't have a chance to really work this through. Okay, so you look at harvest.

25:59.820 --> 26:05.100
Harvest is representative of anything that is going to be satisfying for advancement. You're

26:05.100 --> 26:11.220
like harvest. Yes. Right? And so whenever you get something new or he tells you,

26:11.420 --> 26:15.160
this is where you're going and it can get almost grandiose in your mind. You're like,

26:15.160 --> 26:18.460
we got to go harvest now. Well, you didn't plant seed.

26:20.400 --> 26:24.380
I know, but he told us we're going to have the harvest. So he's supernatural God. He's just

26:24.380 --> 26:27.920
get that over to us and then we'll just have harvest because that's what I'm all about is

26:27.920 --> 26:34.060
harvest and I don't like the rest of the cycle. The rest of the cycle has to do with growth.

26:34.700 --> 26:42.040
Growth. And so we look at some of the things we're about to harvest. We planted poor seed and

26:42.040 --> 26:48.200
we're about to harvest some poor stuff. That's when you pray. Sometimes if you're new to church,

26:48.400 --> 26:52.760
you'll hear us sing and we'll say, bring your fire, stuff like that. People leave and they're like,

26:52.820 --> 26:57.860
what are they talking about? They're inviting fire, rain, wind. What is happening? Maybe that

26:57.860 --> 27:02.060
was the storm last night. You know, it's like, it gets confusing to people. So I'm going to

27:02.060 --> 27:08.680
explain fire, the purpose of fire is purifying. And on the farm, if we had a field where

27:08.680 --> 27:14.960
weeds just took over, you burned it down. Before you planted, just burn the whole thing down.

27:15.600 --> 27:20.620
So sometimes there's been stuff that was planted and we don't want to harvest that.

27:20.920 --> 27:28.320
So you pray for God to bring the fire. He wipes it out, painful, but clearing. And once it's over,

27:28.440 --> 27:31.780
you're like, oh, see how nice that looks? All right, let's work this thing up and plant

27:31.780 --> 27:37.860
some seed. Different seed that was there before. We got to make sure we have different seed.

27:37.860 --> 27:43.020
Well, if we only know of the seed we already planted and we have no idea of the seed of God,

27:43.180 --> 27:48.380
or what he's going to give us, then we can feel lost. But here's what Scripture says. He says,

27:48.680 --> 27:53.720
he gives seed to the sower. So if we ask him for the right seed, he's going to give that seed.

27:54.100 --> 27:59.320
So that's his word being planted into us and bringing about a harvest. And then we have this,

27:59.460 --> 28:03.060
the seed shut up in our barns. And it's like, we go to that seed and we're like,

28:03.060 --> 28:09.260
this is what I'm going to plant. This is precious. This is truth. And sometimes we just have a little

28:09.260 --> 28:14.800
handful. Sometimes we've been working this farm for a while, and he's taught us some things,

28:14.900 --> 28:20.080
and we've got a barn full. But you start out with one seed and get it in the ground

28:20.580 --> 28:24.160
and make it produce, right? So, but we're all after harvest and that's really great.

28:24.400 --> 28:29.820
But that next cycle that it shows is the maturing cycle. So he gives you the dream of your

28:29.820 --> 28:33.300
heart. He says, and here it is. Here's your destiny. Go after this. And you're like, yes.

28:33.920 --> 28:38.120
And then he says, mature. I'm like, I know, but you told us we're going to get, can't we just,

28:38.520 --> 28:41.980
because I know once I have harvest, it'll be so much easier for me to mature.

28:42.500 --> 28:46.640
I'll have more time that I can spend with you. And we have all this like thing that we write

28:46.640 --> 28:54.440
out that really maturing is on the way to the promise. It'll mature. You serve on the way

28:54.440 --> 28:58.740
to your promise. You're faithful on the way to the promise. You look up to the heavens

28:58.740 --> 29:01.940
on the way to the promise. Your eyes are fixed on him on the way to the promise.

29:02.180 --> 29:07.580
There's a lot that goes on there. I mean, it's kind of scary. The thousands of acres,

29:09.440 --> 29:14.540
my brother-in-law Rudy had owned in North Dakota. And when you think of when you just,

29:14.640 --> 29:19.340
if you were just to hand that to a new farmer and be like, go farm that. And they had to go

29:19.340 --> 29:23.740
to the bank and get the money for the seed just to buy the seed.

29:26.120 --> 29:30.780
Oh, that'd be scary. We're talking thousands of acres. And now you're going to go

29:30.780 --> 29:36.100
trust that it's this little thing you have in your hand and somehow this is going to bring

29:36.100 --> 29:41.920
money to you. And then you go out and you spend more money making sure your equipment

29:41.920 --> 29:46.180
is good. And you spend more money for the gas. And you spend more money and you're like

29:46.180 --> 29:50.380
giving out. And you're giving out. And you're like, what's the deal? Where's the harvest?

29:52.860 --> 29:59.160
And then you have to trust that when that goes in the ground, praying the sun and the right amount

29:59.160 --> 30:04.160
of rain. And you have to trust that it's actually going to come up. And the scripture says, when

30:04.160 --> 30:08.720
we plan a seed, it grows. We go to sleep that night, it grows. We don't even know how.

30:09.600 --> 30:12.480
Like we walk it, we put it in the ground, cover it over, and we walk in the house.

30:13.400 --> 30:16.800
See, there's a trust that just says, oh, that'll come up. That's happening.

30:18.240 --> 30:23.720
But that's great when you're watching a tomato plant. Like you did when you were in kindergarten

30:23.720 --> 30:29.200
and you grew a flower for your mom at school. And then every week you would look and you'd

30:29.200 --> 30:33.020
water it and everything before you brought it home. It's like, look, it came up. That's one

30:33.020 --> 30:39.040
seed. But if you're a farmer at that size, we're talking a lot of seed and a lot of trust.

30:39.760 --> 30:43.640
And almost could feel like an all or nothing at that point. The bigger the vision,

30:44.220 --> 30:52.040
the more seed is needed. Right? The more care-taking is there. It's a whole lot easier to grow that

30:52.040 --> 30:57.260
little flower, that little tomato plant than it is a whole field, let alone thousands of acres.

30:57.860 --> 31:06.320
So there's a trust in it that takes place. And that's going to have us mature. And

31:08.260 --> 31:12.580
in that process, that's where we lose a whole bunch of people.

31:15.920 --> 31:21.940
I lost myself in areas of harvest, you know, where I lost years on something,

31:22.160 --> 31:26.920
because I was working on this and I don't work on that. Because I was having success over here

31:26.920 --> 31:35.020
and it felt so good and so I don't want to see that. Ever do that? And yet he was calling me

31:35.020 --> 31:41.420
to seed something new so it would produce. To watch over it with prayer so it would produce.

31:41.420 --> 31:47.740
It takes maturing to have that happen. Now maturing is the natural growth and development.

31:48.020 --> 31:52.400
That's really what it means. It's supposed you're just going to naturally move into this

31:53.720 --> 31:59.480
and do it, right? That's what Webster says. But the Bible indicates it don't come natural.

32:01.380 --> 32:06.420
Or we just all be doing what we need to be doing. There is some declarations that have

32:06.420 --> 32:10.180
to happen. There's some push. There's some putting down your flesh. There's some dying

32:10.180 --> 32:15.620
to self. There's like we are going that direction stuff, you know, where you hold yourself accountable

32:15.620 --> 32:23.540
to truth stuff. Amen? And so there's a little bit of difference. Well then as you choose to mature

32:23.540 --> 32:27.940
and it doesn't happen overall. It isn't like God says you're going to mature in every area

32:27.940 --> 32:31.540
right now. And then when I sift you, it's going to be every area all at once.

32:32.840 --> 32:38.880
He loves us. He knows that would be rough. So we end up being sifted in this area

32:38.880 --> 32:42.660
and then we get some establishment. We're planting new seed. We're watching over that

32:42.660 --> 32:45.460
right when we think we're all that in a bag of chips. All of a sudden he's like

32:47.000 --> 32:55.820
end this. And you're like, okay, right? You're expanding your farm. Okay? So here we are and

32:55.820 --> 33:01.740
we're looking at this cycle. I believe we're in every area. This church is in every area of

33:01.740 --> 33:08.080
this cycle. Some of us are really harvesting right now and it feels so good. It's been

33:08.080 --> 33:15.360
long waited. You're like, it's harvest time. Get the harvesters out. And it's fun doing that. I'd sit on

33:15.360 --> 33:21.000
the harvester with my husband sometimes when he'd just go out and visit. We'd go help harvester.

33:21.340 --> 33:24.980
And it's fun. You're watching all this. Get sorted out and it's getting there.

33:25.380 --> 33:30.140
And then, you know, it isn't that we're being sifted in every area all at the same time.

33:31.320 --> 33:36.960
But the church is being sifted now to the things he's already spoken to us.

33:40.210 --> 33:43.890
This is why the vision booklet was laid out. I thought we were just reminding

33:43.890 --> 33:51.130
ourselves. I thought wrong. Because really it says you either missed it on the front end

33:51.130 --> 33:56.050
or you're missing it now. See, whenever you have a prophecy, that's what it does. You have

33:56.050 --> 34:00.870
to call it on the front end. I missed it. This is an even of God. Or I'm missing it now.

34:01.130 --> 34:05.310
Why doesn't this have movement? See, that's how you hold yourself accountable to it.

34:06.770 --> 34:12.030
And so many times what we'll do is we'll back up enough from this process. We're like,

34:12.050 --> 34:17.970
I'm not going to let this happen. Well, you back up too far. The kingdom of darkness will start sifting

34:17.970 --> 34:27.010
you. But you're going to get sifted. Amen? So here we are in this process. We know we're

34:27.010 --> 34:31.430
going through all of these different things, but there's things aspecific right now that he

34:31.430 --> 34:37.810
told us in the vision booklet. He told us that open heavens. And he's telling us through the word

34:37.810 --> 34:41.870
that's been preached up to this point. And he's telling us by the prayer we just prayed.

34:43.690 --> 34:47.530
Otherwise, we would look at the prayer that Pastor Igor prayed, wasn't that sweet? He's such

34:47.530 --> 34:54.750
a nice guy. And he's once all to love each other. And it's so wonderful. I really like him.

34:58.210 --> 35:03.390
You might not like him if you connect the fact of what you're going through in the maturing process

35:03.390 --> 35:10.610
just got ramped up because you agreed to something. Then you'd be like, stop praying those prayers.

35:12.030 --> 35:16.630
I don't care how nice you are. No, but he's doing it under the direction of the Holy Spirit.

35:16.730 --> 35:21.230
So it wasn't a nice idea. It was a God idea. It was God said, now introduce this now.

35:21.790 --> 35:26.870
Because he knows in the sifting process how fast to crank off the sifting.

35:28.370 --> 35:33.170
He loves us. He's not going to harm us, even though we think it is.

35:33.830 --> 35:37.150
Like I talked about this morning in prayer, sometimes we can get to be whiny babies a

35:37.150 --> 35:41.470
little bit. We're like, it hurts. It hurts so bad. And it's really not as much going on

35:41.470 --> 35:50.410
as we think it is, but it's our interpretation of the pain. Amen? So the sifting, when we look

35:50.410 --> 35:56.310
at harvest, the word harvest is the season for gathering. Are we in the season for gathering

35:56.310 --> 36:04.550
right now? Yes, to a certain degree, we are. On where he's taking us, we have to harvest off

36:04.550 --> 36:13.350
what we planted before. What if we didn't handle that planting very well and now he's

36:13.350 --> 36:16.530
requiring us to go over here? We're going to need some forgiveness. We're going to need

36:16.530 --> 36:20.770
him to give fast-growing seeds to the sower. There's all kinds of different things he can do

36:20.770 --> 36:25.170
supernaturally, but we have to know that there's going to be a process, for instance, to get us

36:25.170 --> 36:31.270
over to that new building. So now is our opportunity to seed a different kind of seed,

36:32.130 --> 36:40.430
a higher level growth seed, a higher yield seed. Amen? Don't get edgy like I'm trying to force

36:40.430 --> 36:44.990
you to give. I'm just talking about how the farm works. You can farm or not. It's up to you.

36:44.990 --> 36:50.490
That's how the farm works. So there's going to be certain things that yield more than others.

36:51.170 --> 36:54.930
So in the sifting process, I don't have one of those flower, you know those my grandma had,

36:55.090 --> 36:59.270
the flower cranker, you put the flower in, it's just bugs and everything. He still used the flower

36:59.270 --> 37:04.130
to sow, right? We sifted those bugs. I don't remember that, you know, and to do that.

37:04.690 --> 37:08.730
So I had this. This is what I put my tomatoes in, if I'm blanching them, you know, as they

37:08.730 --> 37:13.210
say. And there's a crushing that goes on inside of here, because you're trying to get the juice

37:13.210 --> 37:17.210
out, but you're trying to get the outside off, just like what happens when you plant a seed,

37:17.570 --> 37:22.830
like we showed in the one picture, the outside shell has to come off. Well sifting is very much

37:22.830 --> 37:28.850
like that. Wherever a heart is hard, we are in unbelief toward the things of God.

37:30.750 --> 37:34.730
Wherever that shell is, it's saying, stay in there. I don't want you to come out, right?

37:35.130 --> 37:38.690
It's a housing that's saying, I don't want you to advance, right? I'll hold you,

37:38.690 --> 37:44.190
but don't try to advance. Just stay the seed. And it wants to keep the form. That's why it's hard

37:44.190 --> 37:48.670
enough, but it's going to take the life inside of it to break through that thing that wants to

37:48.670 --> 37:52.790
keep the form. And that's painful. I just keep naming things that can be painful.

37:54.070 --> 37:58.670
So, but they're measurements that we lay our life next to and go, possibly that could be

37:58.670 --> 38:03.210
what I'm going through right now. And sometimes we have to look at things differently,

38:03.210 --> 38:08.890
that not everything's a demon. Some things you're going through can feel so demonic,

38:08.890 --> 38:18.230
but it's the outer shell. And you're like, oh, right? And some things, it can be that

38:18.230 --> 38:23.130
the demons attracted that, but you can't blame everything on a demon. Sorry,

38:23.270 --> 38:28.870
doesn't work that way. If you do, you won't mature because it's always someone else's fault.

38:30.830 --> 38:36.510
Am I not right? It's always someone else's fault. So he starts this, he gives you a picture,

38:36.650 --> 38:40.230
you head toward the maturing, it starts to get painful. And then on top of right when you

38:40.230 --> 38:47.230
think you're stretched to the things like hop on in here. Right? And that's what it feels like.

38:47.290 --> 38:50.230
I like the scraping sound kind of gives you that feeling what it feels like when you're

38:50.230 --> 38:55.190
being sifted. It's like, oh, you know, you're in there and you know, it's just like

38:55.190 --> 38:58.170
squishing the oil out of something, the insides out of something.

38:59.190 --> 39:05.770
That's what this does. And the word sifting actually means to sort out what is valuable or useful

39:06.430 --> 39:12.250
to separate. So here's the crazy part. He just told us we all need to come together and be unified.

39:12.990 --> 39:17.230
God said that. Banner over us is love. We're being called to this, stay unified,

39:17.450 --> 39:20.590
stay in the faith, stay of one mind, all these different things that I just read.

39:20.590 --> 39:28.590
Don't murmur, don't talk about, stay in it to win it, right? And yet he's separating our insides.

39:29.610 --> 39:32.310
So that's why I feel so funky because you're like, I'm it, okay.

39:34.090 --> 39:36.750
So I'm being separated while I'm trying to be unified.

39:38.530 --> 39:42.790
That's what's happening to you right now. And you just thought you were cray-cray.

39:43.990 --> 39:48.050
You're not. You're going through what you're going through. And you can try to run from

39:48.050 --> 39:51.390
it too late once, you know, you can't not know the words already happening. And

39:51.390 --> 39:57.850
you could go to a different church right now and would follow you. You would hear that in your

39:57.850 --> 40:05.970
sleep. You're like, hello. It calls your name. And it's like, almost done separating. Are you with me?

40:07.910 --> 40:12.350
Right? And then the part where you've been planted, you chose to die to yourself and

40:12.350 --> 40:16.470
you're, you're laying there in the ground. It's also the inside of the word is starting

40:16.470 --> 40:20.750
to push through that cell shell. And it's just like, that's how it feels.

40:21.990 --> 40:26.730
And then that's when we'll right away, like the kingdom of darkness is coming against me.

40:28.170 --> 40:37.620
You know, the movie backgrounds, shriek, shriek, shriek. Is it? How much of it is?

40:39.280 --> 40:48.760
Or are you just being asked to mature? Now, I don't say to throw a spiritual warfare

40:48.760 --> 40:54.320
in the garbage. No, don't do that. But it's really interesting if I reposition myself,

40:54.800 --> 41:01.300
all of that has to listen. So if I'm postured wrong, the wrong attitude, whatever, I can do

41:01.300 --> 41:06.540
the whole bind you and cast you and all that kind of stuff. It ain't leaving. It's not going anywhere.

41:07.720 --> 41:13.960
As soon as I change how I view it, even the word demon, the end of that word is mon,

41:13.960 --> 41:20.880
which means of the mind how you think. See, so if I said you had a spirit of poverty,

41:21.780 --> 41:27.120
then I, you know, we're going to cast that out, the spirit of poverty. Well, okay, we'll get the

41:27.120 --> 41:33.460
force off of you once you confess your sin, right? Because when you ask forgiveness,

41:33.620 --> 41:37.760
there's a great sending away. So already God's doing deliverance. He sends it away.

41:38.860 --> 41:44.920
And so then what's left is our ways of thinking. We've gone over this before. I'm just reminding you,

41:45.020 --> 41:51.160
because when we go through this process, we have to know a big area between our ears is so

41:51.160 --> 41:56.200
going to be tipped upside down. And it's going to some mornings, some nights when we're trying

41:56.200 --> 42:00.800
to sleep and we're trying to acclimate to the change. It sounds like this, and you can't

42:00.800 --> 42:06.840
sleep because you can feel yourself morphing from an old thought to a new thought and

42:06.840 --> 42:11.320
trying to believe that as truth and stick to it. That's part of what matures us.

42:14.180 --> 42:18.840
See, I speak sometimes in really religious places, you know, because it's just kind

42:18.840 --> 42:23.500
of dead in there. And so when I'll ask questions, I'll say, how many believe that God can heal?

42:24.140 --> 42:28.860
And then the people a lot of times will be this, a couple. It's kind of kind of, you know,

42:28.960 --> 42:35.440
you never know. He's sovereign. You never know what he's going to do. And so that's kind

42:35.440 --> 42:42.500
from that. Well, how many of you believe that he would heal you right now? Because now faith

42:42.500 --> 42:47.820
is the substance of things hoped for. We want to do this right now. Oh, no, whoa, hey.

42:49.660 --> 42:56.460
Right? It keeps us, that type of immaturity spiritually keeps us in a place where we

42:56.460 --> 43:02.720
hear but we never do. You've heard me share the story when I was leading youth in Colorado,

43:02.720 --> 43:05.660
I was talking about evangelism. They're getting hyped. They're like, this is so good.

43:06.060 --> 43:09.400
Yeah. And I would tell this person this one. I'm like, well, let's go do it right now.

43:09.520 --> 43:12.160
They're like, you're so fun. I'm like, get your coats on.

43:14.340 --> 43:19.180
They were in shock. Well, we left the building. It was like, okay. And we ended up going across

43:19.180 --> 43:22.320
the street and lead somebody to Christ. And we came back. I said, didn't that feel good

43:22.320 --> 43:28.860
to actually do it? So what puts the church asleep is talk about it, talk about it,

43:28.920 --> 43:32.360
talk about it. We should be doing it or practicing doing it.

43:32.780 --> 43:37.340
And when you practice, you don't always get it right. But we have to give grace to be able to

43:37.340 --> 43:43.160
practice. So part of heading toward this harvest is there's some things we've got to get up and do,

43:43.300 --> 43:47.800
which is going to require maturity of us. And then in the middle of that maturing,

43:51.510 --> 43:55.690
I kind of want to annoy you with it. So, you know, when you have those certain thoughts,

43:55.690 --> 43:58.670
you're like, oh, shut up. I just hear that thing in my head.

44:01.850 --> 44:09.790
So, but you know, stuff just comes out the bottom and you're like, I can tell that's tomato,

44:09.990 --> 44:15.190
but it's not what it used to be. And we're about to make it into something different.

44:17.670 --> 44:20.610
Right? But the stuff that's left in here, we'll throw that in the garbage,

44:20.610 --> 44:21.990
or I give it to my chickens.

44:25.390 --> 44:29.790
Right? We don't have chickens here that we can give parts of our heart to, but I'm just saying,

44:30.170 --> 44:36.590
as you're being squished like that, you're going to come out being recognizable that,

44:36.790 --> 44:41.770
oh, yeah, that's tomato or that's whatever, but it's changed.

44:43.450 --> 44:48.370
You can make some pretty cool pasta with that. You can make some salsa, getting hungry,

44:48.930 --> 44:53.350
salsa and eat that with chips. I mean, it can produce something totally different

44:53.350 --> 45:00.610
than what its original form was. So, you look at a seed, that outside shell, you're like, it's a

45:00.610 --> 45:06.390
seed. I don't know. And when it starts popping out of the ground, like I said, it's almost like,

45:06.590 --> 45:11.430
what's crazy is the seed's head is down like this and most of the time then it comes up

45:11.430 --> 45:16.710
and then it pops through the soil. Right? Isn't it interesting when a baby's forming in the womb?

45:18.430 --> 45:22.230
That's that stage where they go through. They look like aliens. The head's totally down

45:22.230 --> 45:27.790
and part of they're maturing. Is there able to move their head around? Isn't that interesting?

45:28.330 --> 45:38.670
Seed. They're seed. And so he's asking us to recognize this is this process and we're in

45:38.670 --> 45:44.490
it right now. So that when we battle, we battle correctly. Ever wear yourself out battling on

45:44.490 --> 45:47.730
something? Like you can take this, like say you're being sifted and God wants you to

45:47.730 --> 45:52.850
change and you're like, I'd bind that in the name of Jesus. I will not refuse that. I declare.

45:53.230 --> 45:57.490
And we're going off and in half the night we lose sleep and everything else. When really he's

45:57.490 --> 46:01.550
like, stop, I actually asked you to go over here. Yeah, but I don't want to do that.

46:01.770 --> 46:05.550
And I don't want to acknowledge that that's you talking to me. Because that would actually

46:05.550 --> 46:11.970
require me to change. Then I'm going to look totally different. I'm uncomfortable with looking

46:11.970 --> 46:18.290
totally different. Being used totally different than I was when I was in my original form.

46:20.130 --> 46:25.230
Better to be sifted than never be used at all. Tomato just sitting there is going to rot.

46:27.030 --> 46:31.310
And when I teach recovery, I got this little fake chicken that I bring, little tiny chick,

46:31.450 --> 46:38.770
like it just popped out of the egg. I always tell people this is a simple fact. If you don't

46:38.770 --> 46:45.590
So start pecking out. It's a visual. It's a visual where it's like you can sit and go

46:45.590 --> 46:49.630
in hurts and I don't know how to get out of this show. Start pecking out. Start moving something.

46:50.450 --> 46:55.170
You got to get out of this thing in order to live. And it's the same thing that happens with

46:55.170 --> 46:58.450
a seed. It's the same thing when we're in motion to try to get somewhere we've never

46:58.450 --> 47:05.430
been before with information that we don't yet have. So then he's like, once I change you

47:05.990 --> 47:12.590
into a different form, then I can use you to do the thing that I intended. Now we're

47:12.590 --> 47:20.290
headed for harvest, right? So that's that preparing. So you get sifted. And here it is.

47:20.410 --> 47:24.410
And I was like, well, let me prepare this into something that's suitable to get the harvest done.

47:25.270 --> 47:31.050
That's that process, right? So preparation is the action or process of making something ready

47:31.050 --> 47:39.330
for some occasion or test or duty. Go back to the vision booklet. How many assignments are in there?

47:42.070 --> 47:47.030
This is not a quiet church that just sits still because we're in constant preparation

47:47.030 --> 47:52.430
to fulfill the prophecies that have been spoken. Otherwise, they're just floating words.

47:56.080 --> 48:00.320
Pastor Igor had brought something up, oh, probably a month or so ago when

48:00.320 --> 48:05.440
we were looking at the words that were spoken. Let's say you had a prophecy or something like that

48:05.440 --> 48:12.740
in At Open Heavens. Have you touched that? Have you moved on that? Have you allowed God's sift

48:12.740 --> 48:18.240
to you about that? Have you said, yes, mature me so I can do that? Or did we just get excited

48:18.240 --> 48:23.520
in the moment and might have wrote it in our Bible and then walked away with those are great

48:23.520 --> 48:30.760
meetings? Power of God showed up. Yes, but what did you do with it? See, conference junkies will do

48:30.760 --> 48:35.060
that. They'll go over here and they're like, I saw Pastor Igor. Power was on him. I went over here

48:35.060 --> 48:39.520
and I saw Pastor Jim. Yeah, woo, you know, and we'll just keep moving and we're gathering

48:39.520 --> 48:45.440
information, but there's no preparation for actually doing it. So when you come back to

48:45.440 --> 48:51.000
the basics, that means you're reining everything back. You're not stopping operating in the

48:51.000 --> 48:54.800
spirit and doing, you know, maybe I'll call them the power gifts and things like that.

48:55.140 --> 49:01.000
But you're reining it back and holding yourself accountable. Am I actually doing the basics?

49:02.840 --> 49:06.440
Because to do the basics is what's going to mature you. It's not whether or not you

49:06.440 --> 49:11.080
can lay hands on somebody and they get healed. Because the Word of God has its own inherent

49:11.080 --> 49:18.020
power. I have been in my worst state when we lived in Colorado and I, somebody was in

49:18.020 --> 49:21.240
congestive heart failure and they said, oh, there's water. They don't want to remove the water

49:21.240 --> 49:25.320
anymore. They just want to die. Then I talked to them about living and they didn't know that was

49:25.320 --> 49:30.000
possible or whatever. The whole time I'm like, I am so tired. I gotta get out of here.

49:31.880 --> 49:37.140
Is it okay if I be honest? I have flesh feelings too, right? But my spirit overrides

49:37.140 --> 49:42.380
whatever I can hear in the background of my flesh talking trash. So I just spoke the

49:42.380 --> 49:48.540
Word over them. They were healed. So you walk out and you realize, I had nothing to do with me.

49:49.500 --> 49:55.220
That was the power of God through His Word that actually did it. And I was kind of a poor vessel

49:55.220 --> 50:01.660
to use at that moment. Because we're not always excited about it. We're just faithful. It was

50:01.660 --> 50:05.960
the right thing to do. And so I didn't have anything to say, but the Word had everything

50:05.960 --> 50:10.540
to say and it produced. It was the seed they needed and went in there fast acting,

50:10.540 --> 50:16.860
poof, healed. They were out mowing their lawn two days after that. No water around the heart,

50:17.040 --> 50:24.080
no procedures. Isn't that cool? All right, so sift means to sort out what is valuable or useful.

50:25.100 --> 50:29.660
So we think when we're in an original state, when we're like, just leave it, it's gonna be good.

50:29.960 --> 50:32.640
I mean, look at me. I'm a tomato or whatever it is. I'm just awesome.

50:33.320 --> 50:37.280
Right? And you're like, yeah, he's like, but that's cool. I brought you to that point,

50:37.280 --> 50:43.780
but I can't use you in that state. There's only a few people that you can minister to that'll just

50:43.780 --> 50:49.680
take a bite out of a tomato and that's how they used it and it's gone now. Right? Let's do something

50:49.680 --> 51:00.080
when we can feed the many, shall we? Huh? Let's do something that we can produce even more

51:00.880 --> 51:08.560
and feed and feed and get that. What it said in Philippians is it, it said that we can feed,

51:08.640 --> 51:16.360
get the word of life out to everybody. All right? So preparation is the action or process of making

51:16.360 --> 51:21.040
something ready for some occasion, some tests or duties. So we've got all kinds of occasions

51:21.040 --> 51:26.800
that are coming and we know they're coming. And so we don't just wait and go, yeah,

51:26.800 --> 51:31.140
there's something coming. Anyway, go back to our stuff. Oh yeah, today was that thing.

51:31.320 --> 51:35.240
There better be some preparation. There's a children's event that's coming or whatever

51:35.240 --> 51:40.200
and we can go announcement. There's children's event. We go, uh-huh. We never asked if we were

51:40.200 --> 51:44.520
supposed to be involved. We never checked in to see if God wants to use you in that area.

51:44.880 --> 51:51.200
Well, what? Well, I'm doing my own thing. You should always check. God, are you asking

51:51.200 --> 51:56.640
me to do something here? I want to be used by you. Remember, you took me through

51:57.600 --> 52:03.220
and now I'm in a different form and I'm just sitting here ready to feed the flock of 5,000.

52:05.860 --> 52:11.140
Yeah? The church overall, the body of Christ gets excited about just reaching that one in

52:11.140 --> 52:16.820
your lifetime. Like, I led someone to Christ. It was beautiful. I remember it was 1982. I had on

52:16.820 --> 52:22.480
my black shirt. We have a whole testimony around it and it's beautiful, but it's not good farming.

52:26.540 --> 52:33.000
See, this is the evangelist speaking right now. It's not good farming. It's not how you farm.

52:35.040 --> 52:39.560
And to get the bigger things, you can't wait on every other farmer to come in and work your

52:39.560 --> 52:45.160
fields. You know, like, I thought you were going to work the back 40. He never helps out.

52:46.000 --> 52:49.020
It's your field. You better get up and get out there.

52:49.820 --> 52:54.720
There's some things that are required of us that we have to do and that can make us uncomfortable.

52:54.980 --> 53:00.480
That's part of the maturing and the sifting. I would rather be so thoroughly sifted.

53:01.620 --> 53:07.000
Hurts like crazy even. Just get it, God. No, you missed a piece. Take it back around,

53:07.140 --> 53:10.620
go the other way. Sometimes you have to do that with these. You take it back around and

53:10.620 --> 53:17.700
squish it out the other way and then scrape it. I'd rather be so thoroughly sifted because

53:17.700 --> 53:24.960
my heart is for the many. I want to be that vessel that's not just for the one. Now, I look for the

53:24.960 --> 53:29.860
one. When I'm out evangelizing, I'll tell people, they'll say, how do you evangelize? I look for

53:29.860 --> 53:37.440
the one. Knowing that if I take care of the one, the many will follow. Amen? Somebody said

53:37.440 --> 53:41.840
to me, it wasn't it hard at Red Lake when there were two people sitting there in that whole big church

53:42.440 --> 53:47.760
and you preached to them? You drove all that way? Yeah, because I'm taking care of the one

53:48.500 --> 53:53.260
because the many will follow, right? And when I'm taking care of the one, that sifts me,

53:53.940 --> 53:58.380
that matures me, that puts me in a little bit of pain where I have to push through.

53:59.760 --> 54:05.680
It's a weird idea that you just, you know, let's say that one day you just want to

54:05.680 --> 54:09.360
have a church this size. And God called you to the ministry, so you're like, tomorrow I'm going to

54:09.360 --> 54:16.240
have the church this size. You never grew into that. And the churches who don't grow into it and all

54:16.240 --> 54:19.840
of a sudden it appears, I'm like, I wouldn't go there. I'm just going to be honest with you.

54:20.380 --> 54:24.780
How did the thing move ahead in any structure that has any form of maturity and learning how

54:24.780 --> 54:30.480
to love each other? It can look pretty though. Man, it looks pretty. It's like walking through

54:30.480 --> 54:37.660
a mall and you're just like, that's so awesome. But what's really there is totally different.

54:41.380 --> 54:44.820
I preached at a place and one of the elders said to me,

54:45.640 --> 54:49.380
well, I think this place is ready for this and that and the other thing. Well, I had already

54:49.380 --> 54:52.700
counseled a bunch of the people there. And I'm like, that's an illusion.

54:55.000 --> 55:00.320
People show up, they dress pretty, you know, they're there, they might give

55:00.320 --> 55:05.140
them the offering, whatever. That's an illusion. If they haven't gone through this,

55:05.580 --> 55:11.220
I will not go to war with them. I'm not going to be on their team to go take the hill.

55:14.480 --> 55:19.160
See, part of what's going on here might hurt and it might be something intense and you're

55:19.160 --> 55:23.640
like, ever since I went to Word of Life, there's just been so much change and so many attacks.

55:23.940 --> 55:27.480
It must be because and we'll come up with all kinds of reasons that many times not even

55:27.480 --> 55:33.320
God. It's just, he's sifting your heart because we're open to it here and we believe in it. So,

55:33.340 --> 55:40.140
it's going to happen to you. It's going to happen to you. Sometimes people come through

55:40.140 --> 55:42.960
those doors and they're so uncomfortable, they leave and never come back and they don't even

55:42.960 --> 55:47.180
know why and we can blame it on this or that. But there's some in that place that you can

55:47.180 --> 55:56.280
feel the requirement to come up to mature. Love will mature you. Won't it?

55:59.640 --> 56:05.260
Yes. So here again, I'm just going to go over the highlights of what we read here this morning.

56:06.720 --> 56:11.380
Verse two, we're supposed to have the same mind and love toward one another,

56:11.740 --> 56:17.240
knit together in spirit, intent on one purpose and living a life that reflects your faith

56:17.240 --> 56:21.940
and spreads the gospel. Well, that's enough right there of a project to work on, isn't it?

56:22.580 --> 56:26.960
I'm going to need God for that. Then do nothing from selfishness. Verse three,

56:27.480 --> 56:32.860
make sure your attitude is an attitude of humility and be neither arrogant or self-righteous.

56:33.560 --> 56:38.120
These are basics of Christianity. This is the basics of love because the banner over us

56:38.120 --> 56:44.300
is love. And if we stay to that higher thought, it will mature us, sift us and we'll keep going.

56:44.760 --> 56:48.540
If you play and you're in and you're out, that's yo-yo Christianity and that's really

56:48.540 --> 56:52.460
sufferable. That'd be like going to the doctor and you know you need a shot

56:53.440 --> 56:56.820
and they poke the needle in. Oh no, we're going to wait till next time and pull it out. And the

56:56.820 --> 56:59.940
next time they poke you a little bit. Wow, we're not going to give you the whole thing. And they

56:59.940 --> 57:05.860
just keep poking you. Just stick it in there and release the thing and we go. Right? That's

57:05.860 --> 57:09.800
what yo-yo Christianity can feel like. It's like, painful, you're in, you're out. Okay,

57:09.920 --> 57:15.340
do nothing from selfishness. Do not merely, verse four, look out for your own personal interests.

57:16.660 --> 57:24.560
Well, hoody duty. That's a new one for this world system. It's all about you do you boo and all

57:24.560 --> 57:29.480
that stuff. You know it's all about us. But also for the interests of others. Have this same

57:29.480 --> 57:37.340
attitude in yourselves that you're going to be an example of selfless humility. And then

57:37.340 --> 57:42.140
he talks about how Jesus emptied himself. That's that dying process that says I'm actually

57:42.140 --> 57:48.100
going to set aside what my plans were or whatever. I'm going to submit to the Father. That's what Jesus

57:48.100 --> 57:56.320
did. That's how he emptied himself. That altar time, that quiet time, that time you're driving

57:56.320 --> 58:03.660
in the car and God's like, I need that from you, is painful. It's a wrestling. Quicker you give it

58:03.660 --> 58:09.040
over and just hand that to him and don't take it back. It's one of those things you're

58:09.040 --> 58:15.640
like, off me. Good. Take me to the next step, God. But you wrestle with it. You're wrestling

58:15.640 --> 58:22.200
with the command of God. You ain't that strong. I was raised in a wrestling family and a boxing

58:22.200 --> 58:27.200
family. You're not that strong if you posture yourself like you got it and you don't have it.

58:29.140 --> 58:38.140
Don't wrestle with that. Call it what it is and be like, okay, God, here you go. You

58:38.140 --> 58:43.340
up the outward expression of divine equality. Okay. Then we went down verse eight. He humbled

58:43.340 --> 58:50.800
himself again, so further becoming obedient to the Father. Verse 10, every knee shall bow. I find

58:50.800 --> 58:55.120
it interesting. We pull that because Christians are famous for this. We're like, that's a verse

58:55.120 --> 59:01.000
that's really powerful. We'll just pull that out. Yes, but what was it talking about? Why was

59:01.000 --> 59:06.340
it there? He's telling us all these things, how we should posture ourselves. And then he

59:06.340 --> 59:14.760
announces so that at the name of Jesus, every knee shall bow. Why do you think that's there?

59:15.780 --> 59:24.510
In submission to the heaven and on earth and under the earth. That's when we're going through this

59:24.510 --> 59:30.190
process. That's when we're going through the preparation time. That's when we're maturing

59:30.190 --> 59:36.150
and all of a sudden you have to announce to yourself and to the entities around.

59:37.510 --> 59:44.490
All knees will bow. I am going that way. That's not only scripture to declare that in the end,

59:44.670 --> 59:49.170
that everybody's going to bow to Jesus, whether you're like it or not. He's the ultimate authority,

59:49.290 --> 59:54.090
but you're announcing in the middle of all these basics of Christianity, you're announcing,

59:54.370 --> 59:59.770
hey, this is going to bow because every knee's got to bow. So, ergoncy shut your pie hole and bow

59:59.770 --> 01:00:06.490
your knee now. See, that's when you get rough with yourself and the spirit realm.

01:00:08.430 --> 01:00:15.650
But this weird seeker sensitive user-friendly that came in in the 90s would say, no, that's being

01:00:15.650 --> 01:00:22.290
way too aggressive. That can actually offend people when you talk like that. There's no need

01:00:22.290 --> 01:00:29.790
that a loving God, and then they always put it on God, yet that's his word. But he's a loving God.

01:00:30.030 --> 01:00:36.670
He would never let you in that situation. His grace is, come here, I love you so much.

01:00:37.870 --> 01:00:42.790
Actually, he's the God like, you ready? You want to go? Let's go.

01:00:44.690 --> 01:00:49.590
Quicker we get this done, the more the people are going to get reached and my son can return.

01:00:50.650 --> 01:00:54.270
We're getting ready for a wedding feast, so get in the hopper.

01:00:58.150 --> 01:01:02.890
Amen? I'm giving you kind of a crude farmer thing, but there it is, right? I was raised on a farm.

01:01:03.650 --> 01:01:08.010
Every knee's going to bow, and every tongue will confess and openly acknowledge that Jesus

01:01:08.010 --> 01:01:14.430
Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father. This is how it's going to go down. Try to

01:01:14.430 --> 01:01:20.890
work on these areas and hold yourself to love, but in the end, every knee will bow. So we might as

01:01:20.890 --> 01:01:32.440
well bow our knee right now. Wow. And yet, back then, there's nothing new under the sun. Here he is,

01:01:33.400 --> 01:01:38.120
he gets arrested, he's been burned, he has all these different things going on, Paul does, right?

01:01:39.120 --> 01:01:44.600
And he's got the one guy that's going to show up and speak into the church since I'm in prison

01:01:44.600 --> 01:01:53.100
right now, or I'm doing this right now. I got one guy. We can't be that here. Not when you're kindred

01:01:53.100 --> 01:01:58.060
spirit, not when you pray to prayer like he prayed, not when you become one. If you don't like something,

01:01:58.140 --> 01:02:03.300
bring it up, we'll resolve that. That's part of this. Part of preparation is like,

01:02:03.340 --> 01:02:08.860
stuff's going to come to a head, it's ugly. Let's talk about it, shall we? It's been there

01:02:08.860 --> 01:02:15.520
the whole time anyway. Back it up. Scrape it out. Amen.

01:02:20.020 --> 01:02:25.120
Bichurying is natural growth and development. Harvest is the season of gathering. Preparation

01:02:25.120 --> 01:02:33.420
is the action or process of making something ready. God is making us ready. Amen.

01:02:34.640 --> 01:02:40.460
So to fight the process is going to cause more problems. I'm talking about between you and

01:02:40.460 --> 01:02:50.100
him than it would if we just yield. Just yield. See, that's death to self. You know, there are

01:02:50.100 --> 01:02:53.500
people online, there are people, I've talked to other church and stuff about death to self. It's

01:02:53.500 --> 01:02:58.080
crazy, people will come up. I don't believe God does that where you have to like die to yourself.

01:03:00.580 --> 01:03:03.560
One night, it was right there because my response, and I didn't say it, but my

01:03:03.560 --> 01:03:08.540
response was like, when was the last time you read the word? Sometimes I do say stuff

01:03:08.540 --> 01:03:13.100
like that because it needs that little blunt moment, right? Because that's deception.

01:03:13.800 --> 01:03:19.420
And it's holding that person in a deceived thing which means it paralyzes them from moving ahead.

01:03:19.860 --> 01:03:24.100
They're not on the go, go you into all the world. They're not on the go to make a difference.

01:03:25.320 --> 01:03:29.420
They're paralyzed by some thought and they're just starting to be loved.

01:03:31.380 --> 01:03:34.600
Guess what? I was here to be loved and you still got to get up and do something.

01:03:36.040 --> 01:03:39.840
Try announcing that to your parents when you're 12. They're like, make sure you

01:03:39.840 --> 01:03:45.060
clean your room, you do this. No, I'm just here to be loved. That's why I'm here.

01:03:46.500 --> 01:03:48.360
Your grace comes on me right now.

01:03:51.200 --> 01:03:53.080
You're getting out of that bed and you're going to clean your room.

01:03:54.620 --> 01:04:00.860
And that's my love towards you, right? And don't look at the word sifting as

01:04:00.860 --> 01:04:06.380
it gets in here because I'm going to punish you. Fear brings with it the thought of punishment.

01:04:08.520 --> 01:04:12.600
Righteousness, when you're called to righteousness, it's just you're very aware of the stuff that

01:04:12.600 --> 01:04:16.760
needs to fall off. And if you're wanting to hold on to it, that's when it gets painful.

01:04:17.480 --> 01:04:23.940
If you're wanting to let go of it, it's like, ugh. But then you were sifted and you changed form.

01:04:24.160 --> 01:04:27.500
And you have to grow into that new form and start liking the feel of it. You're like,

01:04:27.500 --> 01:04:34.620
wow, I'm kind of saucy. I just got made from a tomato into something else.

01:04:36.240 --> 01:04:40.740
And it could be useful for many different purposes. You see it?

01:04:42.720 --> 01:04:47.740
So I should do this about 20 times. So you're like, shut it off. So that when you leave,

01:04:47.820 --> 01:04:54.980
you're like, okay, I heard you. So basics of Christianity are all over in the Scripture.

01:04:54.980 --> 01:05:03.400
But man did Paul lay it out here, didn't he? And it's something that has to be spiritually achieved.

01:05:06.760 --> 01:05:11.940
Now, I want to go back and address the thing I talked about. There might be more than four people.

01:05:12.260 --> 01:05:16.040
And maybe this isn't your moment where you want to do this thing right now,

01:05:17.060 --> 01:05:20.560
which you can talk to me after service. But I find when God points something out,

01:05:20.560 --> 01:05:27.680
you might as well, right, and get some stuff going. Here's what's happening.

01:05:27.840 --> 01:05:33.460
And I'll just take a little bit to show you one side of the battle that a lot of people don't look at.

01:05:34.200 --> 01:05:38.860
We have synaptic nerves and do this really fast. And they fire and they get too hot

01:05:38.860 --> 01:05:41.840
if they don't have enough of good chemicals around them like serotonin.

01:05:42.480 --> 01:05:49.520
You produce 86% of serotonin in your stomach lining. So wouldn't it be just like evil

01:05:50.060 --> 01:05:55.520
to put stuff in our food that interrupts that communication and now you don't have enough serotonin?

01:05:55.900 --> 01:06:02.920
We are in the age that that has happened. So we're running on empty in a lot of areas

01:06:02.920 --> 01:06:08.240
that are physiological. But we just think it's demons. We're like, oh, it's a demon.

01:06:08.700 --> 01:06:12.360
Okay, well, demons like that kind of thing because they see it's like, you know, if

01:06:12.360 --> 01:06:16.920
you're out hunting and you're lying, you're looking for the weak. So they see it's already

01:06:16.920 --> 01:06:22.940
weakened and they'll want to move in on something like that. But what it requires not a demon cast

01:06:22.940 --> 01:06:30.880
out at that point, it requires healing. If you've ever had where you're like this and you're shaking

01:06:30.880 --> 01:06:34.720
inside like you're laying in bed, you're like, I don't know. It's like, it's like there's a

01:06:34.720 --> 01:06:41.480
vibration inside of me. You don't have enough serotonin. Your brain is not protected. You

01:06:41.480 --> 01:06:49.320
burnt up through stress. What you needed to protect your brain. Well, that's so demonic. No,

01:06:49.360 --> 01:06:54.960
that's what happened in the physical. You need healing. So what'll happen is you'll feel these

01:06:54.960 --> 01:06:58.000
things and no one else is feeling these things. You really are convinced no one else is feeling

01:06:58.000 --> 01:07:03.760
the shaking or the racing thoughts or the I'm crazy or any of that stuff. Or I just feel like

01:07:03.760 --> 01:07:12.060
dying today. Nobody around me is feeling that I must be the crazy one. You may have, besides the

01:07:12.060 --> 01:07:18.940
demonic, something very physiological that needs to be healed. The communication from the brain in

01:07:18.940 --> 01:07:23.540
your stomach because you have a brain there is not communicating well with your brain.

01:07:25.120 --> 01:07:30.780
See, if we don't know that, we can hyper-spiritualize things, you know, in the 1500s they used

01:07:30.780 --> 01:07:35.240
to take a big drill, those grinder drills stick it on a person's head and let the demons out,

01:07:35.360 --> 01:07:38.040
right? They drill a hole in and I don't know, you didn't survive that one.

01:07:40.380 --> 01:07:44.520
Because they don't understand what's going on. But now we can go to in the physical and talk

01:07:44.520 --> 01:07:48.840
so much about that and that's probably what's happening and get all wound up about that.

01:07:49.220 --> 01:07:55.640
What we need to get into is God healing us. And in that healing, if you need to be delivered,

01:07:55.640 --> 01:08:01.300
he'll take care of that. But give yourself some grace. If you've been through chemo, if you have been

01:08:01.920 --> 01:08:08.400
through heavy stress where cortisol just ripped at your body, you know, cortisol actually causes

01:08:08.400 --> 01:08:14.380
brain damage. If you've gone through a long period of time where cortisol has just got at you,

01:08:15.860 --> 01:08:20.680
there'll be parts of your memory that just don't work well. So demonic I took authority over,

01:08:20.680 --> 01:08:27.020
is it? Now the base, if you dig it all the way down, started with sin, so there's something very

01:08:27.020 --> 01:08:33.580
demonic about that. But to fix it, we need to change how we view our life and do some self-care

01:08:34.540 --> 01:08:42.920
and change some things up. Amen? If you're here today and have, like, that you suffer with

01:08:42.920 --> 01:08:48.980
the shaking, you suffer with that like, ah, and it gets you so ramped up that it feels like

01:08:48.980 --> 01:08:53.940
you're crossing over into the demonic, I want to pray for you. Would you be brave enough to do that

01:08:53.940 --> 01:08:59.660
this morning? No condemnation? If you're like, I don't do groups of people that makes me more

01:08:59.660 --> 01:09:05.580
shaky? Well, then talk to us after. We have a group of people who will pray. But I feel like I have

01:09:05.580 --> 01:09:14.200
to address this because there's lies around it. If you haven't slept for days, you got some

01:09:14.200 --> 01:09:19.860
stuff going on that needs healing. And don't always think, demon, I must have done something so wrong,

01:09:19.980 --> 01:09:29.660
did you? If that's where you're at, yes Felicia, if that's if that's where you're at and you want

01:09:29.660 --> 01:09:34.200
prayer right now, corporately, let's do it. Let's do it right now. We've got a few minutes,

01:09:34.280 --> 01:09:39.100
we can do this. It's all part of change. Just come on up to the front. If not,

01:09:39.240 --> 01:09:50.990
then we'll do something different. That's like fragmented thoughts and taking on different

01:09:50.990 --> 01:09:57.030
personalities because of fear isn't always demonic. But if you do it long enough, you will attract demons.

01:09:59.070 --> 01:10:06.290
It comes out of rejection and it's something that says, I want to be loved and it projects the

01:10:07.670 --> 01:10:12.970
passion toward a character rather than the passion toward God. You just need healing.

01:10:24.290 --> 01:10:29.130
Hallelujah. There's a couple other people and I think this is a moment and I'll just

01:10:29.130 --> 01:10:40.620
wait for a little bit. I hate the stigma that goes with the word mental illness

01:10:45.600 --> 01:10:50.300
because if your kidney wasn't functioning right, you would freak out mentally.

01:10:51.240 --> 01:10:55.180
It was like an elderly person when they get a bladder infection. They freak out. It's like

01:10:55.180 --> 01:10:58.520
they're all over the charts. It looks like they're going crazy. They have a bladder infection.

01:10:58.520 --> 01:11:06.800
Okay. We don't condemn that. We're like, oh, they have a bladder infection. Let's pray.

01:11:07.460 --> 01:11:11.040
But when the brain isn't functioning right because it doesn't have what it needs,

01:11:11.100 --> 01:11:19.360
now suddenly that's a to-do and there's shame attached to it. That's garbage. That's garbage.

01:11:21.500 --> 01:11:25.240
Thank you. It takes bravery. It takes bravery.

01:11:32.980 --> 01:11:37.520
The biggest part of what happens to people when they experience these things

01:11:38.180 --> 01:11:43.300
is most of the time you experience it alone and you don't want to talk to anybody about it.

01:11:43.820 --> 01:11:47.900
And then that makes you feel more isolated, which makes you feel more rejected,

01:11:48.060 --> 01:11:55.940
which makes you feel like a weirdo. I don't think anybody's a weirdo.

01:11:55.940 --> 01:12:00.260
It's just something you're experiencing. You stubbed your toe and the nail fell off.

01:12:00.320 --> 01:12:04.680
I wouldn't think you're weird because that happened. You screamed a little bit and

01:12:04.680 --> 01:12:07.340
held it or whatever and contorted. I'm not going to think you're weird.

01:12:07.680 --> 01:12:16.500
That's a reaction to what's actually going on. Hallelujah. And I really want to say this,

01:12:16.600 --> 01:12:22.700
too, that in loving and being united and reaching out to people, we cannot do that

01:12:23.640 --> 01:12:28.140
to our children or other people's children. I just wish they'd have them where they could behave.

01:12:29.340 --> 01:12:33.420
We're feeling them full of excitement. No toxins. Their brain is, you know,

01:12:33.460 --> 01:12:36.560
on all kinds of food dyes. Well, they should just get it together.

01:12:37.500 --> 01:12:43.860
There's more going on besides other things. God is the God of wisdom,

01:12:44.040 --> 01:12:50.020
and he always pans out to see, he's like, let me show you the whole picture, the all of it.

01:12:50.020 --> 01:12:53.940
Do you realize I had someone come and bring their six-year-old child to me

01:12:53.940 --> 01:12:59.720
and said, I need you to cast a demon out of them because they are just violent and full of the devil.

01:13:01.240 --> 01:13:04.440
And so I noticed, first thing I noticed is a rash on the kid's arm,

01:13:04.680 --> 01:13:08.940
and I'm looking and I started asking questions, whatever. I said, well, I'll pray over them

01:13:08.940 --> 01:13:12.840
in two weeks. Return that two weeks. I'm going to ask you to do some kind of crazy.

01:13:13.020 --> 01:13:14.640
I want you to take them off all milk products.

01:13:16.420 --> 01:13:20.540
So they did. This was by the spirit and what little I know about natural health.

01:13:21.480 --> 01:13:27.820
They were allergic to milk and needed healing. As soon as that started leaving their body,

01:13:28.060 --> 01:13:31.880
all behaviors changed. Now, we could have been in the name of, you know,

01:13:32.620 --> 01:13:36.520
as soon as a little head back and, you know, doing the whole thing and leaving this thing

01:13:36.520 --> 01:13:40.180
where they leave and they're like, I'm a freak. I'm the demon kid in the family.

01:13:40.620 --> 01:13:46.800
No, you have a milk allergy. We shouldn't do it to adults and we shouldn't do it to kids.

01:13:47.320 --> 01:13:51.820
God is the God of wisdom. So if you're learning how to operate in healing gifts, especially,

01:13:52.680 --> 01:13:58.520
you're going to see big picture. And man, you're going to stretch that to like,

01:13:58.580 --> 01:14:05.840
what are you saying? God, word of knowledge, word of wisdom. Amen. Praise you. Praise you.

01:14:06.520 --> 01:14:11.380
Hallelujah. I'm not going to take a long time that I think, but we're just going to go down the

01:14:11.380 --> 01:14:33.430
line of prayer. Jesus. Thank you. Sometimes the vibration inside of us, molecular, is moving so

01:14:33.430 --> 01:14:39.690
fast that we're afraid to get prayer because we're afraid we'll scream out and then everyone will

01:14:39.690 --> 01:14:45.770
think we have demons. That's how bottled up you have stuff. When that happens, you bottled

01:14:45.770 --> 01:14:49.090
it way too long. That's how that works.
