WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:03.300 Whoo! How many of you have been at the meetings? They've been wonderful. 00:03.960 --> 00:08.640 This morning is going to be wonderful, full of wonder. That's what wonderful means, right? 00:09.220 --> 00:14.960 You're going to go, whoa, I wonder about a lot of things by the time it gets done. 00:15.680 --> 00:22.380 I just always believe that when you favor the five-fold, 00:22.920 --> 00:25.460 meaning you pay attention to the five-fold ministry, 00:25.460 --> 00:30.920 and that is, you know, you make sure as an apostle that the churches 00:30.920 --> 00:34.600 have enough operation in it of all the different five-fold. 00:35.400 --> 00:39.360 You know, many of you have gone to a church that maybe the pastor was really an evangelist, 00:39.860 --> 00:41.760 and so you heard the same message all the time, 00:41.900 --> 00:47.440 God has a plan for your life, kind of plan and forgiveness to sin and everything. 00:47.600 --> 00:50.260 And that's truth and it's exciting and it's wonderful, 00:50.260 --> 00:55.240 but that's the bend in the rest of the five-fold many times is missing. 00:56.400 --> 01:00.920 And so whatever we operate and strengthen, 01:01.540 --> 01:03.940 many times we'll have people come in with the same strength, 01:04.000 --> 01:07.160 but a lot of times we'll be like, oh, we've got to pull from this person and that person. 01:07.260 --> 01:13.400 So every time a person comes in that's carrying a little bit different anointing, 01:13.500 --> 01:17.240 that's just like a fresh vitamin for the body, right? 01:17.240 --> 01:20.500 And I believe that's what's happening. 01:20.680 --> 01:24.780 I want you to turn your Bibles this morning to 1 John chapter 5. 01:25.740 --> 01:30.260 1 John chapter 5. There's a lot going on when it comes to prayer. 01:30.580 --> 01:34.380 So we had a lot of new people here last night, 01:34.720 --> 01:37.620 some TBOers came over last night, which was wonderful, 01:38.340 --> 01:42.120 but they're fresh in their journey. They're fresh and like, how are we doing this? 01:42.180 --> 01:46.500 What is all this? And it takes some bravery just to come on over. 01:46.500 --> 01:50.880 And participate in something that maybe you don't fully understand. 01:51.340 --> 01:55.360 Very few express that they do, but they want in, right? 01:55.700 --> 02:00.720 So that was exciting last night. There's a lot of new saved people. 02:01.420 --> 02:05.440 I've been out and about and just praying with different people and they're showing up. 02:05.700 --> 02:10.300 And that's wonderful. And some of you are inviting people. 02:10.940 --> 02:12.800 So we have this movement, right? 02:12.800 --> 02:15.900 If you remember, it's been probably eight months. 02:16.740 --> 02:20.200 I've said it in prayer times. I've said it in leader meetings. 02:20.460 --> 02:25.300 I've said it in staffings. It's like, we're going to grow 50 people. 02:26.660 --> 02:29.380 The Lord said we're going to grow 50 people. 02:29.480 --> 02:31.220 Now, we're going to grow far more than that, 02:31.300 --> 02:36.120 but that every department's supposed to get ready because we're going to grow 50 people. 02:36.360 --> 02:38.040 Now, he never said how we're going to grow that. 02:38.580 --> 02:40.620 You know, you get them all in one age group. 02:40.620 --> 02:42.780 Well, then that's what you got to work with, right? 02:43.280 --> 02:44.960 We don't know how many of those will be children. 02:45.180 --> 02:47.440 So that's going to affect the children's department or whatever, 02:47.480 --> 02:53.660 but we are expanding our thought life to grab that next 50 people. 02:54.320 --> 03:00.160 Now, we have had quite a few visitors, quite a few people checking the church out, 03:00.220 --> 03:05.580 quite a few people that have gotten born again or whatever come in and out. 03:06.540 --> 03:08.460 And this is a test for us. 03:09.180 --> 03:14.680 For those 50 people, this is a test in how we handle the people that are already visiting us. 03:15.280 --> 03:16.540 Well, more are on the way. 03:17.400 --> 03:19.260 So that means we think different. 03:19.440 --> 03:23.520 We think like, hey, should I move so some family can sit here? 03:24.140 --> 03:28.120 You know, I believe in that just like in the module, 03:28.320 --> 03:32.340 this place will once be full in such a way where people will make a choice 03:32.340 --> 03:34.320 to be like, I will stand in the back corner. 03:34.440 --> 03:37.820 That's where I'll stand just so we can fit people in. 03:38.560 --> 03:40.080 There was quite a few of us. 03:40.300 --> 03:43.020 Well, for the sake of the modular, I can't say quite a few. 03:43.120 --> 03:45.200 There's a handful of us that would just sit on the floor. 03:45.320 --> 03:49.320 A lot of times I would sit on the floor because there was no space for visitors. 03:49.500 --> 03:52.120 And I'd just go sit on the floor and it kind of was obvious 03:52.120 --> 03:54.200 because it's a modular and it's like right there. 03:54.580 --> 03:57.640 So would you do whatever you have to do to make space 03:57.640 --> 04:00.820 for the very thing we're believing for and that's revival? 04:02.860 --> 04:07.460 So, you know, even how Tom was talking about last night 04:07.460 --> 04:11.100 is very similar to what we've preached here on the NeuroPathways 04:11.100 --> 04:14.800 and expanding just by challenging them to do something new. 04:15.780 --> 04:19.000 And we get in ruts and ruts start with a rote. 04:19.700 --> 04:24.380 And a rote is that thing that you do that I talked about last night. 04:24.500 --> 04:26.460 It's just this is how it's always been. 04:27.040 --> 04:28.680 This is how it is. I've established it. 04:28.680 --> 04:33.440 So I can go to church almost like, you know, no brainer. 04:33.540 --> 04:37.400 I just walk into the same path, sit in the same spot, you know. 04:38.340 --> 04:42.100 But then we're not in a spot where we're thinking, 04:42.660 --> 04:43.880 how can we change this? 04:45.660 --> 04:48.360 What is it we're going to put pressure on for change? 04:49.180 --> 04:53.240 And so I say that because our prayers should reflect 04:53.240 --> 04:56.540 not just maintaining the ground we already have 04:56.540 --> 04:59.200 but pushing ahead to expand, 04:59.580 --> 05:02.820 which means we can't do the same thing that we've always been doing 05:02.820 --> 05:05.260 and many times not even the same way. 05:07.280 --> 05:07.760 Yeah? 05:09.140 --> 05:14.060 So very much, very much we have to pay attention to this. 05:14.440 --> 05:17.160 So we're expanding how we love people. 05:17.320 --> 05:18.440 We're expanding that thought. 05:18.740 --> 05:22.260 We're expanding in the way of like, I don't know how you want us to do this. 05:22.340 --> 05:24.660 I don't even know where we're going to sit 50 people. 05:26.300 --> 05:27.160 Show us. 05:28.100 --> 05:29.760 Show us how to do this. 05:29.940 --> 05:33.300 Which would mean everyone needs to adapt in such a way. 05:33.360 --> 05:35.980 We were at church where Rodney Howard Brown was at. 05:36.780 --> 05:38.580 Was that last year? I don't remember. 05:39.320 --> 05:41.220 These dates aren't that important to me. 05:41.620 --> 05:44.880 But anyways, they had overflow, right? 05:44.980 --> 05:47.280 So everybody's trying to get in the main sanctuary. 05:48.080 --> 05:50.940 But a whole bunch of people knew that, you know, 05:51.280 --> 05:52.420 you don't get in there or whatever. 05:52.420 --> 05:54.940 You have to accept the fact, you get to get in the overflow. 05:55.380 --> 05:58.380 And they actually had a whole another room that was overflow. 05:58.700 --> 06:01.480 And then another section out in the foyer was taken up. 06:01.560 --> 06:02.200 And it was full. 06:03.040 --> 06:05.720 And people stayed because they want revival. 06:06.060 --> 06:07.540 They were hungry and they want revival. 06:07.980 --> 06:09.040 But it's interesting. 06:10.000 --> 06:12.720 I don't know who the main church was there. 06:13.040 --> 06:14.840 And if their people were adaptable. 06:15.400 --> 06:17.720 So adaptable is like, we will change in the moment 06:17.720 --> 06:20.400 to do whatever needs to be done. 06:21.180 --> 06:24.320 We practiced this huge in Colorado when we were in schools. 06:25.100 --> 06:26.800 Because you could show up at the school, 06:27.400 --> 06:29.660 haul out all kinds of stuff for the children's church. 06:29.960 --> 06:32.680 And they've got it blocked off or something else. 06:32.900 --> 06:34.300 And now, okay, what are you going to do with the kids? 06:34.460 --> 06:35.400 And so we'd have to adapt. 06:35.720 --> 06:38.820 Or we'd have to adapt if they were using the area that we were in. 06:38.940 --> 06:40.700 Then we'd have to figure out where else we were going to go. 06:41.020 --> 06:45.940 And it was a constant movement that made you constantly think like, 06:46.240 --> 06:47.200 it may never be the same. 06:47.400 --> 06:48.360 We're not looking for the same. 06:48.360 --> 06:52.780 We're just going to roll with the moment and do what needs to be done. 06:53.300 --> 06:55.380 So everyone likes comfortability. 06:55.500 --> 06:57.220 And I just thought I'd bring this part up. 06:57.360 --> 06:58.600 It has nothing to do with First John. 06:59.000 --> 07:06.240 But I bring this up because it's just a reminder of how we see this now. 07:06.600 --> 07:08.520 What is it that we're going to say about it? 07:09.660 --> 07:12.120 And how uncomfortable are we willing to be? 07:13.480 --> 07:14.460 For the sake of souls. 07:15.660 --> 07:16.960 For the sake of the lost. 07:18.160 --> 07:20.300 So anyways, let's go to First John. 07:22.700 --> 07:25.000 Well, I got to go back with another thought on that. 07:25.700 --> 07:30.340 And a couple weeks, there's probably going to be a pretty good handful of people 07:30.340 --> 07:35.260 and maybe even some of our band members and stuff gone to Red Lake with us. 07:35.600 --> 07:40.460 Well, it would be on the 15th and the 16th for the outreach that we're doing there. 07:40.580 --> 07:42.780 Which could make it different here. 07:44.000 --> 07:44.860 No, different. 07:45.600 --> 07:47.980 What it says is we're going outside the walls 07:47.980 --> 07:50.440 and we have to figure out how to do inside the walls, 07:50.620 --> 07:54.120 maintain the quality and the level while we go outside the walls. 07:55.180 --> 07:57.720 And sometimes people will do things where they'll be like, 07:57.780 --> 07:59.320 wow, they weren't there this morning. 07:59.560 --> 08:02.280 I don't know if I want to show up, if that's how it's going to be. 08:02.700 --> 08:04.860 I mean, attitudes over the years, I've seen that. 08:05.500 --> 08:08.420 Because it's changed. It's changed. 08:08.860 --> 08:12.920 And so I just say that, you know, if you see something different, 08:12.920 --> 08:14.820 just label it exciting. 08:16.160 --> 08:18.980 Because, oh, change is on the horizon. Change is so. 08:19.180 --> 08:21.180 So in a couple of weeks, that will be happening. 08:21.340 --> 08:23.080 There will be different people up at Red Lake 08:23.080 --> 08:25.540 and we'll be praying for that here too. 08:25.620 --> 08:28.960 Because this is going to be a great outreach. 08:29.480 --> 08:32.360 We're going to start first, John, chapter 5 verse 1. 08:32.420 --> 08:35.920 Everyone who believes with a deep, abiding trust 08:36.780 --> 08:40.800 in the fact that Jesus is the Christ, the Messiah, the anointed, 08:40.800 --> 08:42.180 is born of God. 08:42.900 --> 08:47.000 That is reborn from above, spiritually transformed, renewed 08:47.000 --> 08:49.040 and set apart for his purpose. 08:50.880 --> 08:53.080 So King James doesn't say it that way. 08:53.200 --> 08:57.800 This is broke down, right? In word picture and in the Greek. 08:58.960 --> 09:02.640 But just that part says we're set apart for his purpose 09:03.400 --> 09:05.420 is something that's many times missed 09:05.420 --> 09:07.780 because we get born again and we're like, we're born again. 09:08.980 --> 09:10.480 That's what we did. We got born again. 09:12.040 --> 09:15.360 But literally it should be taught more often 09:15.360 --> 09:19.760 that we're born again to be set apart for his purpose, right? 09:20.440 --> 09:25.360 And everyone who loves a father also loves the child born of him. 09:25.940 --> 09:27.900 By this we know without any doubt 09:27.900 --> 09:29.220 that we love the children of God, 09:29.300 --> 09:31.220 expressing that love when we love God 09:31.220 --> 09:32.360 and obey his commandments. 09:32.800 --> 09:34.760 For the true love of God is this. 09:34.760 --> 09:37.540 That we habitually keep his commandments 09:37.540 --> 09:39.760 and remain focused on his precepts 09:40.520 --> 09:42.980 and his commandments and his precepts 09:42.980 --> 09:44.960 are not difficult to obey. 09:45.420 --> 09:47.780 For everyone born of God is victorious 09:48.460 --> 09:50.080 and overcomes the world. 09:50.640 --> 09:51.600 In case you didn't know. 09:52.140 --> 09:52.760 You're born a God? 09:53.600 --> 09:55.180 Then we're world overcomers, right? 09:55.980 --> 09:56.300 Ha! 09:56.800 --> 09:59.480 And this is the victory that has conquered 09:59.480 --> 10:01.440 and overcome the world. 10:01.600 --> 10:03.780 Our continuing persistent faith 10:03.780 --> 10:05.540 in Jesus, the Son of God. 10:05.680 --> 10:07.380 So if you want to know how to conquer the world, 10:08.460 --> 10:11.480 you know, it's through our continuing persistent faith 10:11.480 --> 10:13.660 in Jesus, the Son of God. 10:14.080 --> 10:15.460 I always say to my grandchildren 10:15.460 --> 10:16.860 when they come over, they'll be like, 10:17.280 --> 10:18.520 what are we going to do today, Grandma? 10:18.680 --> 10:19.640 I'm like, conquer the world. 10:20.660 --> 10:22.400 I don't know what that's going to program like. 10:22.760 --> 10:24.060 When they get older, they're like, 10:24.140 --> 10:25.460 I guess we're here to conquer the world. 10:25.700 --> 10:26.960 But I always say that to them. 10:27.400 --> 10:29.060 Who is the one who is victorious 10:29.060 --> 10:30.400 and overcomes the world? 10:30.560 --> 10:32.840 It is the one who believes and recognizes the fact 10:32.840 --> 10:34.440 that Jesus is the Son of God. 10:35.180 --> 10:38.360 That's the one he wanted me to really hone in on this morning 10:38.360 --> 10:40.220 as we go into prayer. 10:40.900 --> 10:42.340 Who is the one who is victorious 10:42.340 --> 10:44.760 and overcomes the world is the one who believes. 10:45.560 --> 10:46.240 First criteria. 10:46.940 --> 10:49.060 Second one is recognizes the fact 10:49.060 --> 10:50.560 that Jesus is the Son of God. 10:50.960 --> 10:52.420 So you can have received Christ 10:52.420 --> 10:55.240 and have some issue in your life financially 10:55.240 --> 10:57.880 or whatever, physically or whatever. 10:58.200 --> 11:00.100 And forget that Jesus is the Son of God. 11:00.820 --> 11:03.060 And how you know you forgot it is 11:03.060 --> 11:06.140 that there's not a faith toward your healing. 11:06.340 --> 11:08.140 There's not a faith toward change. 11:09.120 --> 11:11.520 So then you have to go back and revisit 11:12.100 --> 11:14.080 who is he that I received? 11:15.280 --> 11:17.700 What kingdom moved inside of me? 11:20.180 --> 11:20.800 Right? 11:21.640 --> 11:23.260 And then remind yourself 11:23.260 --> 11:26.700 that Jesus is the Son of the living God. 11:28.140 --> 11:29.840 He's the way, the truth, the life. 11:30.020 --> 11:32.700 He's the lamp unto our feet, the light unto our path. 11:32.920 --> 11:33.960 He is wonderful. 11:34.660 --> 11:35.420 He's counselor. 11:35.940 --> 11:37.200 His plan is good. 11:38.800 --> 11:40.420 He's the Son of the living God. 11:41.620 --> 11:44.340 So, you know, created the universe 11:45.500 --> 11:46.160 and more. 11:47.100 --> 11:48.260 And when you look at that 11:48.260 --> 11:49.160 and you take your problem 11:49.160 --> 11:50.420 and you put that next to it, 11:50.820 --> 11:52.760 it's, I don't know how we're going to get over this. 11:53.080 --> 11:54.520 I don't know how we're going to get past this. 11:54.660 --> 11:55.920 I don't know how this is going to be fixed. 11:55.920 --> 11:57.960 Who is the one who is victorious 11:57.960 --> 11:59.220 and overcomes the world? 12:00.060 --> 12:02.020 Out of all of us sitting here right now. 12:02.180 --> 12:02.840 Who is the one? 12:03.440 --> 12:04.700 Well, hopefully it's all of us. 12:05.140 --> 12:06.440 It's the one who believes. 12:07.440 --> 12:09.840 It's the one who recognizes the fact 12:09.840 --> 12:11.940 that Jesus is the Son of God 12:11.940 --> 12:13.920 which sets it up in covenant 12:13.920 --> 12:15.320 that we have right 12:15.920 --> 12:17.840 to invoke that kingdom 12:17.840 --> 12:19.600 to move on our behalf. 12:20.980 --> 12:21.400 Amen? 12:22.400 --> 12:24.140 So that's what prayer is about. 12:24.140 --> 12:27.180 That's where the base where prayer starts. 12:27.560 --> 12:29.500 There's a lot of people like I said 12:29.500 --> 12:31.500 who maybe even got born again 12:32.780 --> 12:34.800 and maybe the church they were in 12:34.800 --> 12:36.000 didn't carry it any further. 12:36.500 --> 12:38.880 Then it realized the power and the authority 12:38.880 --> 12:40.380 that was in the Son of God 12:40.380 --> 12:42.420 and the fact that you have to conquer 12:42.420 --> 12:43.620 these things through belief. 12:43.940 --> 12:45.600 But they know they're going to heaven. 12:46.140 --> 12:47.920 Right? That's the average church. 12:48.100 --> 12:49.380 That's the average Christian. 12:50.200 --> 12:52.020 I'm going to heaven, I hope. 12:52.600 --> 12:53.960 I mean I've been trying to be good. 12:54.320 --> 12:55.680 These are all terms that I hear 12:55.680 --> 12:56.820 when people talk to me. They're like 12:56.820 --> 12:58.040 I've been trying. 12:59.240 --> 13:01.560 I hope. I mean it's the thought 13:01.560 --> 13:02.660 that it does say. 13:03.840 --> 13:05.860 But there's not like a belief. 13:06.380 --> 13:07.080 When you believe 13:07.620 --> 13:09.560 there's an energy that goes with that 13:09.560 --> 13:11.460 that's like I got to do. 13:12.400 --> 13:13.980 It'll come out like I got to do 13:13.980 --> 13:15.240 because I believe. 13:16.000 --> 13:17.580 And if I believe he's the Son of God 13:17.580 --> 13:19.280 then I believe the rest of the word is true. 13:19.280 --> 13:20.720 And if I believe he's the Son of God 13:20.720 --> 13:22.920 then he's capable and started a good work 13:22.920 --> 13:24.340 in me and he's going to finish it. 13:24.420 --> 13:26.060 Then the assignments he's given me 13:26.060 --> 13:27.500 because he is the Son of God 13:27.500 --> 13:29.000 I am under his authority. 13:29.160 --> 13:30.620 He is the Lord of the Harvest 13:30.620 --> 13:32.000 and I've gone into his office. 13:32.180 --> 13:33.300 He's given me the assignment 13:33.300 --> 13:34.880 and he is the Son of God. 13:35.040 --> 13:37.040 So he will be the carry through 13:37.040 --> 13:38.240 on my behalf. 13:38.640 --> 13:39.580 I just got to follow. 13:40.880 --> 13:41.980 I just got to follow. 13:41.980 --> 13:44.460 So it's simple gospel. 13:44.620 --> 13:46.280 It goes back to the foundationals 13:46.280 --> 13:47.400 that we've been talking about. 13:47.560 --> 13:50.060 Just sometimes we miss the biggest 13:50.060 --> 13:52.020 truth that we need in the moment 13:52.020 --> 13:54.380 in the small thing that runs deep. 13:56.960 --> 13:57.560 Right? 13:58.560 --> 14:00.300 We're looking for some type 14:00.300 --> 14:02.140 of prophetic prayer that moves 14:02.140 --> 14:03.860 in some insight 14:03.860 --> 14:06.140 of I don't know, prism or something. 14:06.520 --> 14:08.200 Sometimes people are looking for something 14:08.200 --> 14:10.300 so like whoo 14:10.300 --> 14:12.080 and really it runs in something 14:12.080 --> 14:13.780 deep. If you stop yourself and go 14:13.780 --> 14:14.840 wait, hold on a second. 14:15.660 --> 14:18.220 I believe and I believe Jesus is the Son of God 14:18.220 --> 14:19.980 and I asked him 14:19.980 --> 14:22.360 and his kingdom to dwell inside 14:22.360 --> 14:24.500 of me. Rule inside of me God. 14:25.280 --> 14:26.260 Rule and reign 14:26.260 --> 14:28.100 inside of me. You're the one 14:28.100 --> 14:29.960 who puts things in order. I seek first 14:29.960 --> 14:31.840 the kingdom and his right way 14:31.840 --> 14:33.200 of doing things or his righteousness. 14:33.960 --> 14:35.100 All these things will be added. 14:35.500 --> 14:36.540 What am I worried about? 14:37.340 --> 14:38.260 What am I doing? 14:39.020 --> 14:40.580 And so even in that 14:40.580 --> 14:42.080 foundational thing you can 14:42.080 --> 14:44.680 build yourself up in your most holy faith 14:44.680 --> 14:46.220 and reset 14:46.220 --> 14:47.060 your mind. 14:48.000 --> 14:50.020 Because sometimes we'll have our mind set 14:50.540 --> 14:52.440 and then all of a sudden we're off of it. 14:52.580 --> 14:54.560 We fall off of it. It's like falling off a wagon. 14:55.120 --> 14:55.960 What happened? 14:56.700 --> 14:58.320 And then you try to regroup 14:58.320 --> 15:00.160 your thoughts or whatever. You have to reset 15:00.160 --> 15:02.140 your mind. Have you ever tried 15:02.140 --> 15:04.400 to tell yourself to think more positive? 15:04.400 --> 15:06.620 I just got to think more positive. 15:06.820 --> 15:07.540 That's what I got to do. 15:07.920 --> 15:10.500 I don't know why I'm talking like this. Okay, go think it. 15:11.020 --> 15:11.600 You know? 15:12.140 --> 15:14.120 You're going to think something. 15:14.380 --> 15:16.320 Well, that's not how it works. 15:17.180 --> 15:18.640 It's what does this word say 15:18.640 --> 15:20.600 and then you say out loud, I believe that. 15:22.120 --> 15:23.120 That's your best 15:23.120 --> 15:24.340 confession is I believe. 15:26.200 --> 15:27.080 Mine sometimes 15:27.080 --> 15:28.180 is I choose to believe. 15:29.380 --> 15:30.780 Because I can't see it. 15:30.940 --> 15:33.280 It's not happening in me up 15:33.280 --> 15:35.400 but then I choose it. It's like forgiveness. 15:35.600 --> 15:36.340 I choose to forgive. 15:37.420 --> 15:39.120 I don't need to wait until I get ready 15:39.120 --> 15:41.060 and work on a project and do all this. 15:41.340 --> 15:42.600 I just choose in the moment to forgive. 15:44.800 --> 15:45.340 That's how 15:45.340 --> 15:47.500 faith moves. It just says yes 15:47.500 --> 15:49.240 and it calls it and it moves 15:49.240 --> 15:51.380 forward. And so when we pray 15:51.380 --> 15:53.280 this morning we are going to pray 15:53.280 --> 15:54.800 for Red Lake and the service 15:54.800 --> 15:57.080 and however the Lord leads us to go into. 15:59.140 --> 16:00.400 We just choose to believe. 16:03.900 --> 16:05.440 And the basis 16:05.440 --> 16:07.220 of the power we stand on 16:07.220 --> 16:09.040 is the fact that Jesus is the Son 16:09.040 --> 16:09.400 of God. 16:11.200 --> 16:11.720 Yeshua. 16:12.880 --> 16:13.400 Salvation. 16:14.080 --> 16:15.680 He who takes the limits off 16:16.360 --> 16:17.660 is the Son of God.
