WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:18.000 We just come before you. We thank you for this time together. We thank you, Lord God, that every time we come into a prayer of agreement, we're pushing into things, things that don't want to be pushed on, and those that are welcoming those areas that have just been waiting for us to speak the word and come forth. 00:18.180 --> 00:27.420 And so we thank you, Lord, for these opportunities to be united, to come against things, and be for things in the name of Jesus. Amen. 00:27.420 --> 00:45.440 All right. Let's turn our Bibles to 1 Corinthians 16-13. And Shudi Burridi, we'll go back to 15 verse 58 first, just for kicks. How about that? 00:46.400 --> 00:55.200 I woke up and I was going to continue something actually on the well, and the Lord said to just encourage the body to stand firm. 00:55.200 --> 01:06.180 And whenever you get an encouragement, it isn't like a, you know, a savvy thing that you say or, you know, a compliment that doesn't have much weight. 01:06.840 --> 01:15.780 I mean, encouragement means somebody or some way God put courage into you. He put it in encouraging you, right? 01:15.780 --> 01:26.020 And so it comes at the right time for those watching online and for here this morning. It can just change your decision making factor for the day. 01:26.440 --> 01:34.780 Because when you need courage, it isn't that we gain courage just out of anger. Sometimes we think that's courage. 01:34.960 --> 01:39.080 We're finally ticked off enough to say something now or break. No, you're just ticked off. 01:39.080 --> 01:47.180 So there's a difference between that and just being full of courage gives you peace, that everything's going to be okay. 01:47.440 --> 01:57.260 And you go on no matter what you see, right? No matter what the report is, you go on with the assignment, you're committed to it, and you keep moving. 01:57.920 --> 02:03.920 Well, being encouraged in the words that he gave me this morning is to stand firm. 02:04.660 --> 02:12.100 You know, you could say stand firm, stand strong. I like to use the term hold the line. I love that in the movie The Patriot. 02:12.520 --> 02:19.640 I mean, hold the line. I can identify with that. I've been in situations where I know God has told me to be a certain place or whatever. 02:19.980 --> 02:26.620 And he will put courage into me when just, I mean, all hell is breaking loose around. You're just like, what is going on? 02:26.880 --> 02:31.840 And the courage is there to just be like, oh, I'm just going to hold the line. And you do. 02:31.840 --> 02:41.560 But it's not something you can conjure up. It's supernatural. It's something that's based in the Word and what he's shown you about himself and how much he loves you. 02:41.840 --> 02:51.820 And that revelation causes you to go, I'm staying firm. I'm staying to the assignment. I'm staying strong in this, whether my emotions feel like it or not. 02:52.060 --> 02:58.620 So here's what it says in 1 Corinthians 15 verse 58. I'm reading from the Amplified. 02:58.620 --> 03:07.780 Therefore, my beloved brothers, what for? If you go back, you'll be able to reflect on what for that he's saying the therefore, you know, about. 03:08.440 --> 03:18.680 Therefore, my beloved brothers and sisters, be steadfast, immovable, always excelling in the work of the Lord. Always excelling in the work of the Lord. 03:18.960 --> 03:27.880 Always doing your best and doing more than is needed. What? Right now I'm hurting. Right now, you don't understand. I hardly slept last night. 03:28.480 --> 03:36.420 Let's go back over again. Always doing your best and doing more than is needed, being continually aware that your labor, even to the point of exhaustion, it says. 03:37.160 --> 03:44.000 That's the word picture there. In the Lord is not futile nor wasted. It is never without purpose. 03:44.600 --> 03:54.300 Now you can be without purpose when you're in your flesh and sometimes people will think they heard something from God and they're just like wearing their self out trying to make it happen. 03:55.080 --> 04:00.860 Sometimes we'll make an announcement out of our own pain and that announcement will be like I'll show them. It's inside. 04:01.220 --> 04:10.720 Maybe it comes out your mouth, but it's inside like I'll prove to them. I heard from God or whatever. And you will wear yourself out trying to change opinions of people around you. 04:11.500 --> 04:18.840 Which we really shouldn't be interested in. What we should be interested in is what God's assigned us to do. Right? 04:19.600 --> 04:25.700 Because nobody's got a hundred percent, yay, opinion around when you're going after the things of God. 04:27.120 --> 04:32.640 If you go by other people's opinions it's like well you're going to stop, start, stop, start. And he wants us to be consistent. 04:32.780 --> 04:33.780 So let's read this again. 04:34.200 --> 04:45.020 Therefore my beloved brothers and sisters, be steadfast, immovable, always excelling to the work of the Lord, always doing your best and doing more than is needed. 04:45.020 --> 04:55.720 Being continually aware that your labor even to the point of exhaustion in the Lord is not futile nor wasted and it's never without purpose. 04:56.720 --> 04:59.460 That's a true description of holding the line. 05:00.900 --> 05:06.220 Right? It's that like no I know whom I believe in and he is able. 05:06.220 --> 05:17.780 He told me and I remember on this date and the prophecy said and the interpretation of the tongue said and the word of God said and I wrote it in my Bible and I received it which means to take it. 05:17.940 --> 05:25.520 I took it in so it's in me and it's changing me and I adhere to it and it hears to me and like we're bound together. 05:26.800 --> 05:31.960 And so it doesn't really matter what my soul is freaking out about. This is in me. 05:32.920 --> 05:39.320 And so then that keeps you doing things. How many of you have had, well, we've had it during open heavens sometimes. 05:39.640 --> 05:46.360 Like if I asked you to just come and stand in a line at some, I don't know, Disneyland or something like that and you really didn't want to be there. 05:46.880 --> 05:52.900 If you had to stand for 45 minutes and be like, oh my goodness that line was so long and it's so intense. 05:53.400 --> 05:59.820 But yet we can be caught away and worship for two hours during open heavens or during a service. 05:59.820 --> 06:03.900 And you look at the clock you're like, oh it's over already. Isn't that interesting? 06:04.480 --> 06:12.280 There's something about the super on the natural where it God empowers you because you're right in the vein of where you're supposed to be. 06:12.780 --> 06:18.640 And even to the point of exhaustion in the Lord, not futile nor wasted, it is never without purpose. 06:18.840 --> 06:24.960 Now if I go through those types of services, you know, like a couple of weeks ago I preached seven times in a week, right? 06:24.960 --> 06:30.760 And that's what traveling in between. So then when you do that, man, it's just the anointing carries you. 06:31.380 --> 06:37.580 And then the Monday when you get home you're like, oh well, you do need to rest, right? 06:38.500 --> 06:44.920 But it isn't that you're just, you know, like really having to push on yourself to get something done. 06:45.140 --> 06:52.040 If the cause is in front of you and it's part of you, it is the vision. It's what you see. 06:52.040 --> 06:56.680 You see it so clearly, you've heard it, so you see it and now you believe it. 06:56.800 --> 07:03.220 So then you say it and hold yourself to what you saw, right? That's what the confession is for it. 07:03.280 --> 07:07.060 Confession isn't like a lot of people took that one that was taught on years ago. 07:07.520 --> 07:12.080 Like you just go around confessing stuff and then it'll happen. 07:12.200 --> 07:18.820 Well, if you don't have a revelation about what you're confessing, there's a lower degree of happenings that follow that. 07:18.820 --> 07:26.960 When you have the revelation it's been revealed, all of a sudden it's a part of you see it, you live it, you eat it, you breathe it. 07:27.080 --> 07:31.020 It's like I know that, I know that, I know, right? 07:32.340 --> 07:37.800 And there's other things that I haven't been assigned to do. So when I go to do them, they do feel harder. 07:39.360 --> 07:46.180 They just do. It'll feel like, okay, somebody's got to do this so it needs to be done. 07:46.180 --> 07:51.720 But I tell you what, when you are right in the vein where God is, you got hang time. 07:52.780 --> 07:57.340 Like you can hang out with God in that and it can be for hours and you're not wore out. 07:57.780 --> 08:00.640 And it's okay and it's okay to serve that, right? 08:00.760 --> 08:08.400 So here's what he's telling us though, he's telling us to keep excelling in the work of the Lord to be steadfast and immovable. 08:09.120 --> 08:16.340 If you do that out of anger, for instance, you're like, that's it, I'm going to do this and you're angry. 08:16.820 --> 08:19.460 And anger says I want something to stop so you have a boundary about it. 08:19.680 --> 08:25.800 Well, that's great, but then as you hold the line in anger, eventually that anger goes down. 08:26.020 --> 08:31.440 The emotion of it, the adrenaline of it goes down and you're like, well, I don't really know if we really have to do this. 08:32.300 --> 08:35.100 You know, maybe I went too far or whatever it is. 08:35.100 --> 08:39.760 This is regarding revelation of what we're supposed to be doing. 08:40.400 --> 08:43.980 And we're not to back off of it. We are immovable. 08:44.560 --> 08:46.940 Yeah, but this happened. Doesn't matter. We're immovable. 08:47.460 --> 08:50.200 Yeah, but I got a telephone call. Doesn't matter. Immovable. 08:50.780 --> 08:53.220 You don't understand what I just went through. I know. Immovable. 08:54.380 --> 09:00.680 Sounds rough, but the benefits of holding the line will show. 09:01.480 --> 09:05.600 Right. And so nobody likes when things drag out too long. 09:07.600 --> 09:13.480 We're impatient Americans to begin with. And so nobody likes when that feeling of it just drug out too long. 09:13.980 --> 09:21.200 Well, what's too long? Here's what I know. If you do the next right hard thing, there's going to be movement. 09:22.500 --> 09:26.460 And I add the word hard to it because you're putting your flesh down the whole time. 09:26.460 --> 09:30.400 Anything that's easy breezy, you're not really putting pressure on anything. 09:30.780 --> 09:35.540 But when it puts pressure on you and you have to agree with what he told you, whoo! 09:36.340 --> 09:40.480 Then when something moves, there's a clear marker that said, that just moved. 09:41.040 --> 09:46.160 We just gained a foot. We just, you know, did something here in the spirit. 09:46.540 --> 09:50.480 And that comes from being immovable, always excelling in the work of the Lord. 09:50.480 --> 09:58.480 Now right now, the game that's being played during sifting, that, you know, the demonic realm loves that. 09:59.120 --> 10:01.840 Even if you're just going through growth and it sifts you, right? 10:02.020 --> 10:05.600 And so they're like, how can we get the distractions going? 10:06.320 --> 10:12.900 How can we get the emotions to come up so that they're more vested over here than they are here? 10:14.040 --> 10:16.760 How can we do that? So that's their game plan. 10:16.760 --> 10:21.820 And the only thing that they can touch is the things that are left open to be touchable. 10:22.880 --> 10:25.880 Remember when Jesus said, the prince of this world is coming? 10:26.760 --> 10:29.220 He's not worried about it. That's my translation. 10:29.760 --> 10:34.660 Because he has nothing in me. I have nothing in common with him. 10:36.900 --> 10:39.800 I have nothing in common with him. So I'm going to move ahead. 10:40.560 --> 10:45.920 And so he wants us to come to that point, but we're learning and growing, 10:46.060 --> 10:50.880 and we have experience in raking havoc on our families and stuff for generations. 10:51.300 --> 10:54.040 And so we're in the middle of various different kinds of wars. 10:55.100 --> 10:59.240 And the biggest thing you can do is the anchor is holding the line. 11:00.520 --> 11:07.420 Because when emotions come, when distractions come, when horrible traumas are real and they come around us, 11:07.420 --> 11:11.080 what you're looking for and maybe not knowing it is the anchor. 11:11.400 --> 11:14.480 You're like, I don't... what are we gonna... who should I... 11:14.480 --> 11:17.940 And we're all over it and you have to grab the anchor and the anchor is hope. 11:18.080 --> 11:21.920 Where do you get hope from? It's a joyful, confident expectation of something good. 11:22.020 --> 11:25.660 Where are you going to get that from? One from what he already told you. 11:26.380 --> 11:30.080 You have to go back and rehearse that, stir up the gifts in you, 11:30.580 --> 11:35.240 refocus to the cause and hold the line. Amen? 11:36.560 --> 11:40.980 So I'm just giving you marching orders to... if there's any distractions happening. 11:41.400 --> 11:43.460 Now, some of us are going through real life crisis. 11:43.680 --> 11:48.120 I mean, there's been, you know, change in family dynamics and things like that. 11:48.360 --> 11:51.960 And anytime you feel like there's a change, it feels like a crisis. 11:52.680 --> 11:56.400 Sometimes it can be a good change and it'll feel like a crisis because we don't like change. 11:57.320 --> 12:00.740 You know, it's like, why is everything changing now? And that'll happen. 12:01.020 --> 12:04.480 Well, if you already know what he said and you don't know what else to do around it, 12:04.480 --> 12:09.620 stick to the thing he already told you. That's why we have to know what he already said. 12:10.040 --> 12:16.340 Which I mentioned a few weeks ago, the body of Christ is actually weak in the foundational principles of Christianity. 12:17.760 --> 12:21.480 I know because when I teach all over the place, I'll ask questions. 12:22.080 --> 12:23.840 And I was talking about this at TBO last night. 12:24.760 --> 12:29.380 The answers are so pat answers that it's scary. It's just scary. 12:29.380 --> 12:34.400 I'll ask questions. Let's say I asked a question about, you know, how do you hold the line? 12:34.820 --> 12:40.180 This is what mature Christians, aged Christians, will answer something like this. 12:40.320 --> 12:45.600 They'll say, well, you just hold on to Jesus and you just let him love you. 12:46.260 --> 12:48.540 And then you just give your praise to him. 12:50.460 --> 12:53.260 Okay? Anybody done those three things? 12:54.540 --> 12:58.340 Okay, so are you moving ahead? Did it cure the problem? 12:58.340 --> 13:04.660 Well, it's a part of it, but it's too pat answer because it's not actually telling you how you do this. 13:04.840 --> 13:12.500 It's creating this umbrella of uncertainty that's just kind of floundering and hope you figure it out kind of things. 13:12.620 --> 13:16.520 We need for sure answers that they sound more like the Bible says. 13:17.400 --> 13:21.580 Like this scripture, he told us to be steadfast and immovable. 13:23.460 --> 13:26.200 There's nothing to be a variable of that. 13:26.960 --> 13:32.120 It's just, I call them exacto-knife, it's cut just right there. 13:32.340 --> 13:35.860 There isn't like a way you could, it's boom. 13:36.600 --> 13:42.160 And so when you find those, an anchor, you know, when you throw an anchor out in the middle of the ocean, 13:42.280 --> 13:45.500 everything's going, you're like, put down the anchor. It isn't the anchor. 13:45.720 --> 13:49.100 It can move over here and then it's coming up and then it's down again or whatever. 13:49.100 --> 13:53.940 No, it's solid. Boom. The more weighted it is, it goes down. It has hold power. 13:54.680 --> 14:01.060 And so our anchor is in the hope that we have in him, but it has to be based on the revelation knowledge he's already given us. 14:02.380 --> 14:07.680 That's foundational. It can't be an idea in our head. It has to be a revelation in the heart. 14:08.540 --> 14:12.720 We adhere to trust and rely on you, Lord God. 14:12.720 --> 14:19.420 We are in the vine. And this is what you said. So here is where we're going. Amen. 14:19.920 --> 14:26.980 So now we go 1 Corinthians 16 verse 13 says, you have to read in between there were things going on here, 14:27.000 --> 14:31.900 but it's a good example of standing firm. Be on guard, stand firm in your faith. 14:32.820 --> 14:37.760 So it's not stand firm in your anger. You're so ticked off. Now you're just not going to let this happen. 14:37.800 --> 14:39.760 And I'm mad now and all this kind of stuff. 14:39.760 --> 14:42.860 It's in your faith. What is it that you believe? 14:44.680 --> 14:53.400 Any crisis, any change, anything that poses a question to you really isn't necessarily always attacking us. 14:53.540 --> 14:57.280 It's posing the question. Hey, here's what's happening. What do you believe? 14:58.900 --> 15:03.940 What you going to do with this? What's your heart thought on this? What do you believe? 15:04.440 --> 15:08.300 And so you could look at like an argument in the family, for instance. 15:08.500 --> 15:13.540 Let's say you have a knock down drag out one and it's an argument by golly someone's going to win. 15:15.140 --> 15:19.820 But you could look at it like this as soon as that cycle because it's usually cyclical in the home. 15:19.860 --> 15:21.860 You argue about the same things because you never resolve them. 15:22.280 --> 15:26.440 And so it could be cyclical in the home and instead of stopping and going, 15:26.600 --> 15:29.000 what is it I actually believe about this conversation? 15:30.020 --> 15:31.980 What would God say into this conversation? 15:31.980 --> 15:37.040 We're not trained to do that. We're trained to win the argument, right? 15:37.720 --> 15:42.040 Or disappear if you're a runner. It's like, I'm just out. I can't deal with this and that. 15:42.120 --> 15:46.440 It never gets dealt with rather than saying, you know, we're going to deal with this. 15:46.460 --> 15:50.280 Where the person who's more of a fighter will say, by golly, we're dealing with this right now. 15:50.820 --> 15:55.420 And you just start machine gun in the other person. I remember the time and you're going to blah, blah, blah. 15:55.760 --> 16:00.140 And there's no, you're really there just to win. It isn't about both of you winning. 16:00.620 --> 16:05.820 But we're not trained in the habit of stopping and saying, what do I believe about what just happened? 16:06.820 --> 16:09.920 What is it God said to me about this subject? 16:10.360 --> 16:14.260 It's weird because when you do it, you'll actually pan out. 16:14.580 --> 16:17.580 When wisdom does that, it'll pan out and you see the big picture. 16:18.100 --> 16:23.040 You're like, this is coming up again because of this and this and that's tied to that discernment. 16:23.580 --> 16:27.060 Literally, we'll start taking place and you're like, I see into this. 16:28.300 --> 16:31.700 Thank you, Jehovah Jairah, because he's the God who sees. 16:32.400 --> 16:36.360 And I have your characteristics. I am in Christ and he is in me. 16:36.540 --> 16:39.340 I have the mind of Christ, therefore, I think like Christ. 16:39.540 --> 16:41.460 And that's the anointed one and his anointing. 16:41.540 --> 16:44.340 So what could solve this through the anointing? 16:44.480 --> 16:46.040 How many of you just automatically think that? 16:47.640 --> 16:49.180 We weren't trained that. 16:49.800 --> 16:53.860 You know, most of your training before how you problem solve comes before you're seven years old. 16:55.640 --> 16:58.040 That's bad in my situation. 16:58.320 --> 16:59.100 That's not good. 17:00.340 --> 17:04.300 And so, but you're supposed to stay on guard, stand firm in your faith. 17:04.460 --> 17:11.080 So you're in your faith in God, respecting his precepts and keeping your doctrine sound. 17:11.480 --> 17:18.080 So everything should take you back to what is it that the word says and what is it that I've chosen to believe? 17:18.740 --> 17:23.080 Because the word can say all kinds of things, but have no effect on you unless you believe it. 17:24.660 --> 17:25.220 That's good. 17:25.880 --> 17:31.380 Right? So then it comes down to be on guard, stand firm in your faith. 17:31.560 --> 17:33.160 Well, what is it? I believe what is my faith? 17:33.560 --> 17:34.840 And faith is sure. 17:35.740 --> 17:41.200 Well, most of the time when we're arguing, the fear that's in there that's bound up with anger and all kinds of other emotions 17:42.000 --> 17:44.500 is that we're not going to be heard in the end anyway. 17:45.420 --> 17:46.460 So it doesn't matter. 17:46.620 --> 17:52.640 I always come out on the raw and the deal and it keeps going and this will probably happen for the rest of our... 17:52.640 --> 17:58.560 And we start prophesying in our own heads where it's going because we don't know what we believe on the subject. 18:02.140 --> 18:04.060 God's been challenging me on that. 18:04.680 --> 18:10.280 I don't care if it's about paying a bill, settling an argument or whatever it is. 18:10.760 --> 18:13.840 It's like, know whom you believe in and that he is able. 18:14.900 --> 18:15.400 Right? 18:15.780 --> 18:18.880 And he's going to keep that which you committed to him. 18:19.220 --> 18:23.380 But if we don't commit to him like this argument, I need to commit this to God. 18:23.380 --> 18:27.460 I need to sign it up with Jesus, right? 18:27.920 --> 18:31.200 We're taking this thing to his ward where he rules. 18:31.600 --> 18:36.180 And it's got to submit to how he thinks about it because clearly we don't know how to think about it. 18:36.220 --> 18:36.660 How do I know? 18:37.000 --> 18:40.500 We've been arguing about it for 10 years or whatever the situation is. 18:41.280 --> 18:43.900 That's how you know you don't know. 18:45.560 --> 18:48.540 It's because it never gets resolved, right? 18:48.540 --> 18:52.060 And so then he tells us, get knowledge, get understanding. 18:52.920 --> 19:00.260 And understanding is a form of patience or patience has in it the meaning to understand or to be able to stand under something. 19:01.420 --> 19:04.940 That's like when you're really mad, you're driving behind some lady. 19:05.700 --> 19:08.280 Like she's all over the road, you know, whatever. 19:08.600 --> 19:09.780 Well, you might not be understanding. 19:09.940 --> 19:11.000 She's got four kids in there. 19:11.260 --> 19:12.920 And one just punched the other one in the face. 19:13.080 --> 19:15.120 And the baby's crying because it's lost its nook. 19:15.220 --> 19:17.800 And she's trying to reach through the back seat. 19:18.420 --> 19:20.780 To get it in its mouth because no one's listening. 19:21.860 --> 19:25.120 But if you don't understand that, if you've never lived that, there'll be no understanding. 19:25.280 --> 19:25.980 There'll be no mercy. 19:26.200 --> 19:27.720 There won't be anything. 19:28.180 --> 19:29.500 It'll just be judgment. 19:30.880 --> 19:38.740 So part of fixing even things we're offended about, many times we're offended because we don't understand it. 19:42.690 --> 19:46.130 Like someone commented, I think we blocked it. 19:46.190 --> 19:47.670 I don't know, we get comments online. 19:47.670 --> 19:50.450 It's kind of fun to think how people think or whatever. 19:50.850 --> 19:52.390 But I think it was the last time I preached. 19:52.650 --> 19:54.430 It was a comment about all my jewelry. 19:58.600 --> 20:05.540 And if you want some understanding about me, if I had money just laying around, I would buy the nicest Indian motorcycle. 20:06.380 --> 20:07.660 I would not look for jewelry. 20:08.220 --> 20:09.680 That would be way down here. 20:09.940 --> 20:10.800 I don't care about diamonds. 20:10.900 --> 20:11.720 I don't trust diamonds. 20:12.380 --> 20:12.960 You know why? 20:13.100 --> 20:14.940 Because I wear costume jewelry. 20:15.620 --> 20:16.640 That's what this is, right? 20:16.640 --> 20:19.260 And so that way if I lose it, who cares? 20:19.560 --> 20:20.500 Cost me ten bucks at Walmart. 20:22.040 --> 20:22.480 Right? 20:22.840 --> 20:25.000 But the people commenting, they don't understand that. 20:25.300 --> 20:28.360 The bracelet I had on when they commented, I got from you. 20:28.800 --> 20:30.540 Which is really a form of... 20:30.540 --> 20:34.020 It was a gift, plus it was a form of costume jewelry. 20:35.960 --> 20:38.260 It's silly when you don't understand. 20:38.500 --> 20:41.580 But the comments were two watches and there's this whole thing, right? 20:41.700 --> 20:41.980 Went down. 20:42.420 --> 20:44.800 So that's from lack of understanding. 20:44.800 --> 20:48.780 And so I could get offended because it's like, who do they think they are? 20:48.980 --> 20:49.540 Blah, blah, blah, blah. 20:49.980 --> 20:50.700 I don't. 20:51.320 --> 20:51.960 It's silly. 20:52.240 --> 20:53.900 Because I already know they don't get it. 20:54.460 --> 20:55.260 They're clueless. 20:57.000 --> 20:57.200 Amen? 20:58.780 --> 21:01.360 Same thing, I had someone comment about my motorcycle. 21:02.320 --> 21:06.180 You know, you gotta have some bucks to have an Indian motorcycle and a drive, you know. 21:06.300 --> 21:07.400 And they said it to my face. 21:07.640 --> 21:11.280 And so I said, how much do you think that cost me? 21:12.300 --> 21:13.840 I said, my husband bought that for me. 21:13.840 --> 21:14.780 How much do you think that cost? 21:16.020 --> 21:16.100 Right? 21:16.460 --> 21:18.060 First of all, it's not an Indian motorcycle. 21:18.360 --> 21:18.980 It's a Kawasaki. 21:22.530 --> 21:23.850 And it's not brand new. 21:24.250 --> 21:27.230 Just the guy who owned it did for me what I really wanted. 21:27.390 --> 21:29.530 He fixed it up to look, you've seen it, right, Paul? 21:29.810 --> 21:30.550 And you know motorcycles. 21:31.030 --> 21:37.350 He fixed it up to look like an Indian motorcycle until they shut down some of the people who were doing that. 21:37.450 --> 21:38.970 They were like, can't do that. 21:39.110 --> 21:41.110 I can't get the parts from us anymore to do that. 21:41.490 --> 21:44.150 And so now I have something that looks like what I want. 21:44.150 --> 21:45.550 But it's a Kawasaki. 21:45.890 --> 21:46.650 I don't care. 21:48.330 --> 21:49.230 I don't care. 21:51.670 --> 21:58.870 And so understanding that, you can give that understanding and some people will go, oh, now I understand. 21:59.230 --> 22:01.030 But there are controversial people. 22:01.530 --> 22:03.050 It's like, no, I don't understand that. 22:03.730 --> 22:04.730 Because they want to fight. 22:06.930 --> 22:09.810 Okay, we'll fight away, my friend, because you're not fighting against me. 22:11.790 --> 22:20.050 So we have to be on guard, stand firm in our faith in God, respecting his precepts and keeping your doctrine sound. 22:21.630 --> 22:24.570 So when we get desperate, we're going through different things. 22:24.690 --> 22:26.810 One of the things we do is just grab random scriptures. 22:27.590 --> 22:31.010 Well, they're scriptures, but is it sound to how you're applying them? 22:35.520 --> 22:35.740 Right? 22:37.360 --> 22:40.820 Like some scriptures have the word if with a little phrase in front of them. 22:41.960 --> 22:46.180 If you abide in my word, oh, then these things will come to pass. 22:47.180 --> 22:49.880 Or, you know, the scripture, all things work together for good. 22:50.280 --> 22:51.720 I hear people, they'll just quote that much. 22:52.480 --> 22:55.360 But they haven't read what it said before or after. 22:55.880 --> 22:58.820 And there's some application that really comes through wisdom. 22:59.380 --> 23:03.140 So then if you have a half truth, you can hold somewhat of a line. 23:03.220 --> 23:08.840 But it is hard to hold a line on a sort of a precept, kind of a command. 23:09.240 --> 23:10.820 Because that's what the word precept means. 23:12.580 --> 23:15.580 We grow, line upon line, precept upon precept. 23:15.900 --> 23:20.420 Precept means command upon command, which means not just God bossing us around. 23:20.580 --> 23:23.240 It's like, oh, I see this is what you'd have me do. I'm going to do that. 23:24.000 --> 23:25.560 That's what you want me to do? I do that. 23:26.140 --> 23:29.000 I don't know what to do. I don't know what else to do in this situation, 23:29.020 --> 23:31.100 but to do what I already know to do. 23:31.600 --> 23:34.780 And I'm sound about it because I've already researched it. 23:34.900 --> 23:37.840 It's become real to me. It's revelatory to me. 23:38.340 --> 23:38.740 Amen? 23:40.480 --> 23:45.600 This is how, you know, in a prayer group, what we have to understand is prayer is so holy, 23:46.180 --> 23:51.000 and you get the most effect. I mean, God can answer any prayer he wants to. 23:51.100 --> 23:51.840 He's God, right? 23:52.680 --> 23:56.860 But when you're moving in faith is when you can move his hands. 23:58.580 --> 24:01.680 Faith pleases him, and he's like, ah, thank you, you're using faith. 24:01.880 --> 24:04.720 Your faith has made you whole. There's all kinds of scriptures around that. 24:04.720 --> 24:09.860 So when we're moving in faith, he sees that we're sure this is actually 24:09.860 --> 24:12.640 we're lining up with what he's sure about, we're sure about. 24:13.240 --> 24:14.640 And it gets things moving. 24:14.960 --> 24:19.780 But in prayer sometimes, we'll say, there's a hurricane in Florida, or hit Florida. 24:20.460 --> 24:21.300 Let's all pray. 24:22.040 --> 24:25.060 And then many times, it's not to pick on anybody here. 24:25.140 --> 24:27.380 I'm just talking about all prayer groups, all Christians. 24:27.880 --> 24:29.280 We'll start getting desperate. 24:29.440 --> 24:32.480 We don't know how we're going to approach this thing with the hurricane. 24:32.820 --> 24:34.240 And so we'll grab a scripture. 24:35.740 --> 24:38.640 And they'll put it in there, and you're like, I don't even know if that makes sense. 24:39.480 --> 24:41.640 I don't even know if that applies to that situation. 24:42.180 --> 24:44.880 But it sounds good because we grabbed it, right? 24:45.040 --> 24:46.600 That's what desperation does. 24:47.380 --> 24:51.140 And part of us says we don't want to look stupid if somebody asks you to pray for them. 24:51.660 --> 24:54.200 Like if I had many people ask me to pray, would you pray right now for this? 24:54.300 --> 24:55.760 And I say, no, not right now. 24:56.800 --> 25:00.800 I'll agree that God's going to show you, and he'll show me, and I'll get back to you two days from now. 25:02.100 --> 25:03.380 There's no harm in doing that. 25:03.620 --> 25:07.240 Because I'm not going to grab something wherever. 25:07.580 --> 25:10.700 Like, well, this applied to her last time, so I'll apply it to you this time. 25:11.040 --> 25:12.120 See, prayer is holy. 25:13.100 --> 25:17.720 And it's to hold on and guard, to stand firm in our faith. 25:18.180 --> 25:22.080 It's what we know that we believe in and that he is able. 25:22.840 --> 25:26.720 And in God, respecting his precepts and keeping his doctrine sound. 25:26.720 --> 25:30.420 Act like mature men and be courageous. 25:30.820 --> 25:31.500 Be strong. 25:32.960 --> 25:34.480 Women can be courageous too. 25:36.380 --> 25:38.940 He just mentioned men though, so I had to throw that in there. 25:39.700 --> 25:44.060 I mean, that's where the bear, the term mama bear comes from. 25:44.940 --> 25:47.540 They can be courageous too when they need to be, right? 25:47.740 --> 25:52.980 So there, but there is something about courageous prayers, courageous approaches. 25:53.540 --> 25:57.960 And we have to understand that when we're going through things, 25:58.140 --> 26:01.000 it's not that we're looking for, and this is key. 26:01.740 --> 26:04.140 Something bad just happened, I never expected it to happen. 26:04.420 --> 26:06.600 I need to grab for a new revelation, a new thing. 26:06.700 --> 26:07.680 There's got to be something new. 26:07.820 --> 26:09.740 No, it's God's the same yesterday, today and forever. 26:09.940 --> 26:11.420 Go back to your foundational things. 26:11.960 --> 26:12.780 Use that first. 26:14.020 --> 26:16.700 Make sure you're actually in the foundation. 26:17.080 --> 26:18.980 Standing on the foundation first. 26:22.200 --> 26:25.780 I was working with a lady that she did, she went through something horrible, 26:26.000 --> 26:28.860 but she started just instead of going foundational 26:29.220 --> 26:31.820 and correcting certain things in her life or whatever, she went prophetic. 26:33.140 --> 26:36.060 I just prophesied of this and she's just going all the way. 26:36.360 --> 26:40.500 But she was way out of whack over here in like your foundation is totally out. 26:40.540 --> 26:42.280 You're not even standing on anything. 26:43.600 --> 26:46.240 You're prophesying to something with no foundation. 26:47.780 --> 26:50.020 Or you'll hear people announcing that 26:50.020 --> 26:52.880 I just mainly work in the prophetic, but they don't know the word. 26:53.100 --> 26:59.480 You can't be prophesying at any higher level of prophecy without knowing the word. 27:00.360 --> 27:01.980 Because you have to have a foundation. 27:02.520 --> 27:04.200 Or you can lead people astray. 27:04.400 --> 27:06.840 Or how do you speak on behalf of God? 27:07.700 --> 27:10.180 Who is the word if you don't know the word? 27:10.940 --> 27:13.800 I'm here speaking on behalf of God and I got a word for you. 27:14.020 --> 27:14.500 I'm sure you. 27:15.500 --> 27:17.300 It's a word, but it's not from God. 27:18.360 --> 27:18.840 Right? 27:21.120 --> 27:26.140 And so in the weeks to come, I feel like we're just pray about this. 27:26.340 --> 27:30.000 I want to be dealing with the Lord told me to deal with divination. 27:32.620 --> 27:36.840 And that's not to cause us to go in a creepy mode of thinking or anything like that. 27:37.140 --> 27:41.980 But sometimes divining things are happening around us and we don't know they're affecting us. 27:42.440 --> 27:44.460 Or that we're participating in it. 27:44.460 --> 27:48.920 And I think we have to make sure in these last days as we begin to move in the supernatural, 27:49.200 --> 27:50.840 because that's where he's asked us to go. 27:51.440 --> 27:54.280 He's asked everybody to go there, but that's what we said yes to. 27:55.780 --> 27:59.080 So that we need to understand what's divination? 28:00.040 --> 28:01.560 What's the soothsayer? 28:02.080 --> 28:06.120 What is that other side to things so that we can clearly say, 28:06.360 --> 28:09.800 I am standing on the word and I am firming what I believe. 28:09.800 --> 28:15.020 This is doctrinally sound and I am headed that way and I will stand fast. 28:15.960 --> 28:18.960 Doesn't matter who comes against me, I'm headed that way. 28:19.780 --> 28:23.900 Amen? Still none go with me, still I will follow, I always say. 28:24.960 --> 28:32.650 So let's stand this morning and I could say we all need to stand firm. 28:33.130 --> 28:36.910 You know how when you're told to do something, go do this and you're like, 28:36.950 --> 28:40.910 oh okay, you might not know what you're doing or the full revelation of it. 28:40.910 --> 28:42.990 That's not what I want to do this morning. 28:43.230 --> 28:47.090 I just want to ask God to give us a revelation of what it means to stand firm. 28:49.750 --> 28:50.250 Amen? 28:52.330 --> 28:56.090 Something that's firm you're not going to fall off of, it's not the sinking sand. 28:56.530 --> 28:57.350 It's solid. 28:58.590 --> 28:59.590 It's solid. 29:00.470 --> 29:02.130 It's solid. Hallelujah. 29:03.130 --> 29:06.770 Hallelujah, we welcome Holy Spirit. 29:07.730 --> 29:13.050 How you reveal the Word to us, we welcome that more and more. 29:13.930 --> 29:19.430 Your revelation power, you raised Jesus from the dead and he is the Word. 29:19.870 --> 29:23.690 You raised him from the dead and so where the Word to us has been dead, 29:23.830 --> 29:28.670 Lord God, resurrection power, that we will see how to stand firm. 29:29.170 --> 29:35.510 We will see how to plant ourselves, to be on standby, to be always ready. 29:35.510 --> 29:39.530 These are other things the Scripture talks about in any form of crisis. 29:39.690 --> 29:43.210 We're just ready because we have a foundation. We're standing on, Lord. 29:43.670 --> 29:50.190 I just ask that you give us that type of revelation where it's not how many Scriptures we speak. 29:50.530 --> 29:56.470 It's the weight of the Scriptures we speak because faith will light it up. 29:56.830 --> 30:04.150 And as it lights it up and we proclaim it, it's weighty to the things of this world. 30:04.150 --> 30:08.190 And there's just no room for those things because this is so fat. 30:08.370 --> 30:13.590 It's so weighty. It's so potent with everything that is the character of God. 30:15.390 --> 30:22.370 That one word will clear a room of the demonic because it's a word in faith. 30:22.830 --> 30:27.570 It's a word in faith. It's a word in faith. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. 30:28.050 --> 30:32.530 So I want you to do something in the weeks to come to just try to check your... 30:32.530 --> 30:36.790 I've had to do this as an evangelist because people do it for you. You have no choice. 30:37.190 --> 30:41.110 So like you're out street evangelism or you're just talking to somebody and they say, 30:41.230 --> 30:47.070 well, I don't believe in tongues. And you're like, what is it that you believe? 30:47.390 --> 30:50.690 What are you going to say to them? You're like, I heard so and so said that. 30:50.950 --> 30:56.870 You have to know what you believe. And this is why I believe that a lot of questions aren't getting answered out there 30:56.870 --> 31:04.630 because we're not sure about the foundation of it. And it isn't as much as heavy on the teacher side of it. 31:04.970 --> 31:13.550 It's as heavy on the revelation side to it. You could take one scripture that confesses your sins. 31:16.730 --> 31:20.510 Right? Comboli before the throne of grace. Any of those scriptures. 31:20.910 --> 31:24.990 And if it's waiting in you, the anointing off of that will get on that other person. 31:24.990 --> 31:28.990 And suddenly they'll have understanding and they don't even know why you didn't really answer their question. 31:32.130 --> 31:37.590 Right? But if you get into logic, it's my logic against your logic. And we got to know who we believe in. 31:38.050 --> 31:40.910 Praise you, Jesus. Praise you. Let's have the band come. 31:42.130 --> 31:46.770 Hmm. Make our knowledge that we already know understandable, Lord. 31:47.630 --> 31:54.210 Like let us get such understanding. We grow patient. We grow patient. We grow patient, Lord God. 31:54.210 --> 31:58.710 Because we understand our surroundings. We see what other people may be going through. 31:58.990 --> 32:02.830 We see the evil. We see the good. We're able to discern. 32:03.970 --> 32:08.450 And Lord, even more so instead of discerning our surroundings first. 32:08.850 --> 32:11.930 We're able to discern. You're able to show us our own heart. 32:13.730 --> 32:19.810 So that our foundation becomes so firm. Praise you, Lord Jesus. 32:21.250 --> 32:25.090 Praise you, Lord Jesus. Hallelujah. 32:26.170 --> 32:33.750 When it says Jesus had compassion or he was moved by compassion on people because they were like a sheep without a shepherd. 32:35.010 --> 32:41.390 I've seen that so many times in the last few months because there's been so many deaths, whether it be overdose or whatever. 32:42.490 --> 32:48.910 And what just ricochets through the family is the fact that in that moment they're shocked with the fact of like, 32:48.910 --> 32:53.250 I don't have a foundation. Like when we're comfortable we think we're standing on something. 32:54.510 --> 32:57.790 And all of a sudden the tragedy says, what's your foundation? You're like, I don't know. 32:58.430 --> 33:03.170 And there's this panic that will whip through the people and it comes from a lack of foundation. 33:03.370 --> 33:10.190 They're like sheep without a shepherd. We have to have answers for them too. 33:11.050 --> 33:14.930 Father, I just thank you that you're giving us that knowledge, that understanding. 33:14.930 --> 33:19.150 And the pureness of who you are comes upon us. 33:19.210 --> 33:22.250 Let's begin just to pray in the Spirit as we go into worship here. 33:35.330 --> 33:39.190 From glory to glory we return to you. 33:42.610 --> 33:46.170 No man can come on to the Father except through Jesus. 33:46.690 --> 33:48.590 And you restore us to the glory. 33:51.950 --> 33:56.310 Glory has understanding. The glory has knowledge. 33:56.750 --> 34:00.110 The glory matures. The glory moves. 34:00.470 --> 34:04.990 And there's creative miracles that come out of it because we chose to believe. 34:04.990 --> 34:10.650 We choose to believe. And we start with our foundational things, Lord God. 34:12.370 --> 34:18.510 We ask ourselves the question, like you said to Peter, who is it that you say I am? 34:19.570 --> 34:22.290 Who is it that we say God is? 34:23.550 --> 34:25.470 And do we really believe that? 34:26.170 --> 34:29.490 Bring us to the foundation right now in Jesus' name. 34:29.490 --> 34:36.730 And anything that is a spirit of divination or ways of operating that has misled us 34:36.730 --> 34:42.230 or caused us to be lazy because we are counting on information from someone else and not by the Spirit. 34:42.730 --> 34:44.930 We bind that right now in the name of Jesus. 34:45.490 --> 34:50.550 Let there be a shaking off this morning of anything that contradicts the Word. 34:51.430 --> 34:54.730 Shaking off in the Spirit in the mighty name of Jesus. 34:54.970 --> 34:58.150 We're being delivered of any of that indoctrination. 34:59.610 --> 35:00.250 Witchcraft. 35:02.750 --> 35:03.390 Devonation. 35:05.490 --> 35:06.130 Serpy. 35:06.690 --> 35:07.610 Snake-like. 35:08.930 --> 35:09.870 Fake love. 35:10.250 --> 35:10.810 Fake grace. 35:12.850 --> 35:14.550 Shit.

It's Christ only. 35:34.950 --> 35:35.910 And Him crucified. 35:37.270 --> 35:40.370 Jotán embayon olekes en el ayuruto la mayista. 35:40.870 --> 35:43.970 Ayakala yantoloma baradalala sesedereya. 35:44.170 --> 35:45.910 So you're participating in self-deliverance. 35:46.410 --> 35:49.010 A lifting of anything that's tried to settle here. 35:49.150 --> 35:52.270 Get off this church.
