WEBVTT

00:00.000 --> 00:15.460
We empty ourselves, fill us with fresh oil, fresh fire, fresh focus, reveal, reveal, reveal, revelatory in Jesus' name.

00:17.360 --> 00:19.720
Amen. We're just going to go right into the sermon.

00:20.980 --> 00:26.080
So if I could get the podium. Hallelujah.

00:27.820 --> 00:31.680
We don't want to miss a beat here when it comes to following the Spirit.

00:35.120 --> 00:35.980
Thank you, sir.

00:37.360 --> 00:44.080
You can turn your Bible size to Isaiah 54. It is a chapter, one of the chapters that's been assigned to the church.

00:44.200 --> 00:49.780
But before we jump into that in the revelation of it, it's been gone over before.

00:49.980 --> 00:53.740
You can find it in the Covenant Partner Series and different things like that.

00:53.740 --> 01:00.920
But I want to address the first, the most important thing for those of you watching online or are here today.

01:01.960 --> 01:14.220
If you are now becoming aware of your need for a relationship with Jesus Christ, for a relationship with Him, not a religion.

01:15.920 --> 01:21.260
You know, you can't sing that song, can't be in the anointing that's here, and then be so excited about a religion.

01:21.260 --> 01:26.040
Religion's man made. Part of the meaning to the word means to go back to bondage. We don't need that.

01:27.420 --> 01:32.600
We've been there already. We don't need that. We need to be set free. Salvation power is everything.

01:33.080 --> 01:39.200
And that was provided on the cross. 2000 years ago Jesus didn't die just to die.

01:40.400 --> 01:45.380
He took back everything that was stolen from us. And He's handing to us right now.

01:45.460 --> 01:49.920
And He does it through relationship. He doesn't do it by joining a religion.

01:49.920 --> 01:56.840
Anybody can make that stuff up. And so I just want to put out to you to pay attention.

01:57.120 --> 02:05.820
Because yes, we'll be talking about revelation, just revelatory stuff, revealing stuff in the spirit regarding the vision of this church.

02:06.820 --> 02:13.660
But this church is under the Lord Jesus Christ. And without relationship with Him, who cares about the church?

02:14.480 --> 02:21.120
Right? You are the church. And in order to build the church, we develop relationships with Him, not religion.

02:21.540 --> 02:29.500
I just want to challenge you in this way. If you don't understand how we're applying this to the church and you haven't been here and all of that stuff.

02:29.500 --> 02:40.120
Okay, the whole time I'd be asking in my heart, God, I want to get to know you. God, I need you.

02:41.380 --> 02:48.700
Reveal to me who you are. Reveal to me. Oh, it'll count even better than if I preach in your face.

02:49.560 --> 02:59.480
If you're listening online, if you're here this morning, it's when He reveals Himself to you,

03:00.320 --> 03:08.840
I need God. I got to quit playing games. I need God. I need to get to know the one who created me and the one who will take my breath at the very end.

03:08.940 --> 03:20.060
He'll take it back. He is the life. He's the way. He's the truth. That is the biggest revelation of all time.

03:22.080 --> 03:31.780
Amen. So I couldn't go on without addressing that. If you want to know further about that, I will hang around after service.

03:31.940 --> 03:38.580
There's people here you can talk to regarding it. I don't even... I don't know. It's presented as a prayer.

03:38.840 --> 03:46.220
Many times you're going to say that prayer, you know? And I do, I lead people into prayer, but to start a relationship,

03:46.220 --> 03:56.480
really I'm starting an introduction of saying, do you want to meet Christ? Right? And you start that introduction by bringing Him and you together.

03:57.420 --> 04:05.760
That's how you start the relationship. It's not, I said a little prayer, so now I'll go to heaven. There's deception in that.

04:07.400 --> 04:12.920
Anybody can do a little deed. It's the heart changed by His love. That means everything.

04:12.920 --> 04:21.560
All right, we're going to talk about Isaiah 54 this morning. The Lord had brought this up in many different ways.

04:21.720 --> 04:28.580
I preached a conference in October with Jennifer Cannon and her crew up in Duluth.

04:29.140 --> 04:36.340
And one of the things that... there was a prophet there. One of the things that she said over me was...

04:36.340 --> 04:41.460
And it will be like, she was including all kinds of other things, she said, but it will be like Isaiah 54.

04:42.080 --> 04:49.960
And just like I said in prayer this morning, it's a phrase, right? It's a phrase, no way she could have known that that's one of the chapters that's assigned to this church.

04:51.640 --> 05:01.460
Right? So my listening ears were wide open. And she was talking about intercessory prayer and some different things that I have been assigned to.

05:01.920 --> 05:08.680
And she said something over me that I'm aware of, but it just sealed the deal. And she said, you are the hammer.

05:08.840 --> 05:13.900
And you'd have to be there to understand everything that she preached on. And I don't have time for that this morning.

05:14.300 --> 05:21.840
But basically, if you're driving a stake peg in, up in the north especially or wherever I travel,

05:22.520 --> 05:30.960
to be the hammer means you're being used by God to split the earth open, to split something open, to make a mark, to make a difference, to do that.

05:30.960 --> 05:38.960
And so I've been researching that. And then I just kept going back to Isaiah 54. And because we're coming up on open heavens, it's...

05:39.660 --> 05:43.320
Like I said in prayer this morning, we always go back and visit everything that's already been said.

05:44.220 --> 05:48.300
And then you lay yourself next to that as a measurement. And you go, where are we at in that?

05:49.600 --> 05:53.820
Because God's not the one who's like, and let me tell you some more. And then I'll give you a couple other things you can do.

05:53.820 --> 05:59.120
And that's like telling your kid five instructions. Go upstairs, get your clothes, do this, blah, blah, blah.

05:59.220 --> 06:02.500
And they come down, they're like, huh? It's the same thing with us.

06:03.200 --> 06:08.120
He's not just going to keep dumping stuff out until we do the thing that he's already asked us to do.

06:08.360 --> 06:15.440
Which means part of growing in maturity, just like your child, is you have to learn how to remember more than one thing.

06:15.580 --> 06:18.960
And concentrate on more than one thing. And that takes focus.

06:20.000 --> 06:24.560
Bringing the brain into a spot, bringing the heart to a spot that says, I'm going to focus on something.

06:24.760 --> 06:30.080
And I will take my time about it. I will dissect it. I will look up every word that it has to do with anything.

06:30.840 --> 06:36.520
Because you're hungry for revelation. Amen?

06:38.160 --> 06:43.940
Kind of like, you already know certain restaurants like McDonald's or whatever.

06:44.200 --> 06:47.980
You just go Big Mac, blah, blah, blah. You kind of got what it's going to taste like. You eat it.

06:47.980 --> 06:52.220
It's no big deal. You go on. But you've got the people who know how to cook.

06:53.700 --> 06:58.660
They go, what is in this?

07:01.320 --> 07:05.940
Our son-in-law, Braden, is like that. He can figure it out just by...

07:05.940 --> 07:13.180
And he knows what spice goes in or whatever. It's like taking the meat of what he's given us and taking it apart deeper.

07:13.180 --> 07:18.880
And we don't want to overthink things, but I don't think we're near doing that.

07:19.140 --> 07:23.760
I think we have to be reminded to really push in on certain things and pay attention.

07:24.080 --> 07:27.300
And use that as a measurement. So I'm actually going to read the whole chapter.

07:27.960 --> 07:32.120
And because the whole chapter fits, and because I have this morning to deal with it.

07:34.560 --> 07:40.400
Sing, oh, bear in one. You who did not bear. Break forth into singing and cry aloud.

07:40.640 --> 07:45.440
You who did not travail with child. For the spiritual children, I'm reading out the amplified.

07:46.040 --> 07:51.440
Of the desolate, one will be more than the children of the married wife, says the Lord.

07:52.400 --> 07:57.760
Now, I have to stop and say this. You can't just grab anything out of the Old Testament and go, that's for me.

07:59.620 --> 08:03.160
People do that. They're like, well, the Bible says in Ezekiel, and you're like, yep.

08:03.440 --> 08:08.900
But did the Lord say that was for you? There's certain things he did in covenant that's for us all.

08:09.320 --> 08:14.820
But he specifically said chapter 54 of Isaiah is for this church.

08:15.300 --> 08:22.160
And so we know what it's like to be in a barren spot and doing everything we can to break forth and nothing happening.

08:22.160 --> 08:29.960
And yet he promises us for the spiritual children of the desolate, one will be more than the children of the married wife, says the Lord.

08:30.800 --> 08:34.860
Enlarge the place of your tent. I think we're in process of doing that again.

08:35.840 --> 08:38.880
And let the curtains of your habitations be stretched out.

08:39.780 --> 08:45.260
Spare not. Lengthen your cords and strengthen your stakes.

08:47.060 --> 08:50.300
For you will spread abroad to the right hand and to the left.

08:50.440 --> 08:55.420
And your offspring will possess the nations and make the desolate cities to be inhabited.

08:56.180 --> 09:01.520
Now, one of the first times we read this, we were putting packets together to go door to door in Colorado.

09:02.660 --> 09:09.300
We had like three people in our church, you know, and it was like, but the command was that.

09:09.440 --> 09:14.460
That's how prophecy works. Many times you'll get prophesied something that's way beyond where you're presently at.

09:15.160 --> 09:21.260
And you're like, so, okay, we're just going to enlarge our tent right now with our three people or whatever.

09:21.680 --> 09:27.860
Yeah, you push in on it. And so that's what we did. We went out and we spread the good news, started witnessing.

09:28.780 --> 09:32.400
We needed to let people know that we were there. And that's where it started.

09:32.620 --> 09:35.400
For you will spread abroad to the right hand and to the left.

09:35.480 --> 09:40.460
And your offspring will possess the nations and make the desolate cities to be inhabited.

09:41.080 --> 09:45.980
Fear not, for you shall not be ashamed, neither be confounded and depressed.

09:46.380 --> 09:51.380
For you shall not be put to shame, for you shall forget the shame of your youth. Yes, and amen.

09:51.980 --> 09:56.780
And you shall not seriously remember the reproach of your widowhood anymore.

09:57.260 --> 10:01.520
For your maker is your husband, and the Lord of hosts is his name.

10:04.880 --> 10:10.980
And the Holy One of Israel is your redeemer, the God of the whole earth, he is called.

10:10.980 --> 10:16.720
For the Lord has called you like a woman forsaken, grieved in spirit and heart sore.

10:16.940 --> 10:22.900
Even a wife wooed and won in the youth, but when she is later refused and scorned, says your God.

10:24.040 --> 10:29.720
For a brief moment I forsook you, but with great compassion and mercy I will gather you to me again.

10:30.820 --> 10:38.800
In a little burst of wrath I hid my face from you for a moment, but with age-enduring love and kindness I will have compassion and mercy on you.

10:38.800 --> 10:40.720
Says the Lord, your redeemer.

10:41.680 --> 10:47.500
For this is like the days of Noah to me, as I swore that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth.

10:47.880 --> 10:51.520
So have I sworn that I will not be angry with you or rebuke you.

10:51.940 --> 10:59.320
For though the mountains should depart and the hills be shaken or removed, yet my love and kindness shall not depart from you.

10:59.760 --> 11:03.660
Nor shall my covenant of peace and completeness be removed.

11:03.660 --> 11:09.060
Says the Lord, who has compassion on you, which we've just talked about.

11:10.260 --> 11:13.800
O you afflicted city, stormed, tossed, and not comforted.

11:13.920 --> 11:22.580
Behold, I will set your stones in fair colors and antinomy to enhance their brillanites and lay your foundations with sapphires.

11:23.640 --> 11:33.540
And I will make your windows and pinnacles of sparkling agates and rubies and your gates of shining carbuncles and all your walls or your enclosures of precious stones.

11:34.720 --> 11:41.760
We go for going any further, the Lord showed us as a type to us. That is the people that he gives to us.

11:42.840 --> 11:51.360
I remember the day that Dean called. I think you were still in Utah and you said, I have just had a revelation.

11:52.600 --> 11:59.400
I am one of the precious stones in the wall. I'm selling everything and moving to where you are.

12:01.600 --> 12:05.620
That's when you get revelation, right? That's when it's like, there's nothing else I can do.

12:06.280 --> 12:10.420
He has shown me this. I can't do anything else, but the thing he has showed me.

12:11.140 --> 12:15.920
And all your spiritual children shall be disciples taught by the Lord and obedient to his will.

12:16.300 --> 12:19.720
And great shall be the peace and undisturbed composure of your children.

12:19.720 --> 12:29.680
So, before going any further on that, just to say, if you're new to the church or whatever and this is spoken over us,

12:29.960 --> 12:38.300
that means you come under this, right? And so for your children, all your spiritual children shall be disciples taught by the Lord and obedient to his will.

12:38.680 --> 12:41.960
And those include your children because I hope you're discipling them.

12:42.980 --> 12:46.720
And great shall be the peace and undisturbed composure of your children.

12:46.720 --> 12:51.620
You shall establish yourself in righteousness, rightness, and conformity with God's will and order.

12:51.760 --> 12:54.440
And you shall be far from even the thought of oppression.

12:55.240 --> 12:58.120
Far from even the thought of oppression or destruction.

12:58.500 --> 13:02.420
For you shall not fear and from terror, for it shall not come near you.

13:03.140 --> 13:12.600
It shall not come... See, some of this is war, but he already announced to us that it's the Lord Jehovah Soboeth, the God of war in the appointed time.

13:13.300 --> 13:14.460
So, hoo-hoo!

13:16.480 --> 13:21.960
Behold, they may gather together and stir up strife, but it's not for me.

13:22.420 --> 13:25.800
Whoever stirs up strife against you shall fall and surrender to you.

13:26.680 --> 13:28.520
I announce that to the spirit realm right now.

13:28.960 --> 13:34.380
Behold, I have created the Smith who blows on the fire of coals and who produces a weapon for its purpose.

13:34.540 --> 13:40.120
And I have created the Devastator to destroy, but no weapon that is formed against you shall prosper.

13:40.120 --> 13:44.680
And every tongue that shall rise against you in judgment shall show to be in the wrong.

13:45.280 --> 13:53.760
This peace, this righteousness, this security, triumphant over opposition is the heritage of the servants of the Lord.

13:55.140 --> 14:03.300
Those in whom the ideal servant of the Lord is produced, this is the righteousness or the vindication which they obtain from me.

14:03.520 --> 14:08.260
This is that which I impart to them as their justification, says the Lord.

14:08.260 --> 14:12.040
I didn't say any of these things because it kept saying, says the Lord, right?

14:12.460 --> 14:17.100
So this came from the throne of God for in this time, but the Lord said,

14:17.140 --> 14:21.840
I'm saying the same thing to you as a church many years ago.

14:21.960 --> 14:25.800
We've been here over 20 years, but word of life started in Colorado.

14:27.340 --> 14:30.160
And we carried with the vision, right?

14:30.280 --> 14:34.460
I felt like we were traveling with the vision in all of our entourage.

14:34.460 --> 14:39.840
When we came up, we literally had a train of cars and trailers and coming up.

14:40.020 --> 14:43.280
And it was like we were carrying, the biggest thing we were carrying was the vision.

14:44.300 --> 14:49.000
The vision that he started there and the vision that he will finish here.

14:50.280 --> 14:52.560
So it's not by accident you are here.

14:52.840 --> 14:59.780
It's not by, you know, just happenstance where you liked our foyer or our nursery department or something like that.

15:00.200 --> 15:01.800
Some people choose churches like that.

15:01.800 --> 15:04.960
If you've been drawn here and there's a conviction in your heart,

15:05.500 --> 15:10.080
there's a sensation in your heart that's just like, I know I have to be a part of this.

15:10.880 --> 15:13.560
Even when it annoys you, I just got to be a part of this.

15:14.720 --> 15:17.380
Right? Right, right, right.

15:17.640 --> 15:21.740
And so you know that when you're part of something,

15:22.780 --> 15:26.780
once again, mature Christians know when you join something, you build an alliance.

15:27.400 --> 15:30.040
We talked about this in prayer last Sunday, you can look it up online.

15:30.040 --> 15:35.080
So you become an ally with it. It's an ally to you and you're an ally to it.

15:36.040 --> 15:39.160
Which means you just don't go do that just out of a whim.

15:40.200 --> 15:44.300
You don't just become a covenant partner here just because it sounds like a great idea.

15:44.600 --> 15:45.840
Or your friend goes here.

15:46.420 --> 15:52.700
Because you're harnessing up, you're yoking up with us in a bigger picture in a call.

15:53.300 --> 15:56.680
And that call is for this region first, but it's going to spread to the nation.

15:58.140 --> 15:59.080
That's been spoken.

16:00.640 --> 16:07.640
And so when we read this, I find it interesting that every time we go through church growth,

16:07.800 --> 16:15.240
every time we go through a shift or a change, it's like we go through parts of this all over again.

16:15.860 --> 16:20.160
So you're always in a spot where you know maybe you feel like you arrived in a certain area,

16:20.180 --> 16:24.720
but all these other areas, you're shifting into it and you're going through some of these things.

16:24.720 --> 16:29.240
So some of these things are attitude, you know, things that would cause us fear,

16:29.260 --> 16:34.160
or things that are passed to say, well, you can't minister, you can't do this, or whatever, shame.

16:34.640 --> 16:38.560
It deals with a big portion of, hey, you're not going to be ashamed.

16:38.840 --> 16:40.360
Don't worry about your youth.

16:40.940 --> 16:43.540
Quit toiling about what happened or what has been.

16:44.620 --> 16:48.600
So you come under the authority structure of word of life.

16:48.740 --> 16:51.220
You're actually coming under this chapter and other chapters

16:51.220 --> 16:58.660
that basically put in order spiritually can help to put your life in order spiritually, those types of things.

16:59.680 --> 17:01.300
That's why we're a how-to church.

17:02.500 --> 17:05.100
You know, I'm not just telling you, hey, go do this.

17:05.500 --> 17:06.560
The Bible says go do this.

17:07.040 --> 17:09.240
I'll show you how to do this. Let's break it apart.

17:09.820 --> 17:11.580
Let's look at it. What do you think?

17:11.760 --> 17:15.360
And we go back and forth and we grow into it as a how-to church.

17:15.440 --> 17:18.120
Nobody wants to be talked at. We like to be talked to.

17:19.120 --> 17:24.800
And when you're being talked to, there's a given, a take, and there's a reasoning together.

17:24.920 --> 17:27.100
Even Jesus said, come, let us reason together.

17:27.700 --> 17:29.000
He didn't just talk at us.

17:29.540 --> 17:34.720
And so as he's going through these different verses, as he's taken us through this,

17:35.080 --> 17:38.400
we know we're coming through another round of this whole thing

17:38.400 --> 17:42.940
where carbuncles and sparkling agates and rubies are going to be added to us.

17:44.660 --> 17:47.520
Those who are in the wall already got to make room for them.

17:49.960 --> 17:50.360
Right?

17:52.140 --> 17:53.700
And don't get yourself misplaced.

17:54.500 --> 17:58.560
You hold the line on what God's asked you to do, because you count here too, right?

17:59.760 --> 18:01.480
But we know that that's coming.

18:02.000 --> 18:03.740
When he said, sing, O baron one.

18:04.600 --> 18:07.840
When the Lord tells you to sing, what are you going to do? The dirge?

18:07.880 --> 18:10.900
Are you going to do a song that's just like, it's been so hard.

18:11.100 --> 18:12.880
You know, bust out the country music.

18:12.880 --> 18:17.780
And do the, no, you sing because you're rejoicing,

18:18.300 --> 18:21.820
knowing that nothing's been produced like you thought it was going to,

18:22.160 --> 18:26.800
whether it be in your life, in the ministry that you have, whatever's going on.

18:26.880 --> 18:28.800
It's like, I've been barren on this one.

18:29.520 --> 18:32.280
But you sing, O baron one, you did not bear.

18:32.400 --> 18:34.800
You break forth into singing and cry aloud,

18:35.220 --> 18:37.960
you who did not travail with child, you didn't produce.

18:39.440 --> 18:41.920
We sing before things happen.

18:41.920 --> 18:45.780
We sing knowing he's making promises to us that say,

18:45.880 --> 18:50.500
people are coming, child's coming, change is coming.

18:51.440 --> 18:53.140
We sing, that's done by faith.

18:54.040 --> 18:56.320
Faith is sure about something you haven't seen yet.

18:58.880 --> 19:00.720
And he's telling us to go ahead and sing.

19:01.180 --> 19:03.500
Go ahead and sing because what's going to happen

19:03.500 --> 19:06.180
is for spiritual children of the desolate,

19:06.420 --> 19:09.040
one will be more than the children of the married wife.

19:12.760 --> 19:15.120
Now, sometimes religion can do, you know,

19:15.200 --> 19:16.240
like, I don't have a background

19:16.240 --> 19:18.040
and I've just been perfect all my life.

19:18.140 --> 19:19.540
And I don't know people like this,

19:19.560 --> 19:21.500
but there are people who assume that position.

19:22.260 --> 19:24.800
I don't know that that's anyone's actual story,

19:24.900 --> 19:27.460
but they'll assume that position.

19:27.820 --> 19:29.820
And it'll, it'll seem like, you know,

19:30.600 --> 19:33.880
in times religious stuff will kick you while you're down.

19:34.060 --> 19:35.780
And it'll always remind you of your past.

19:35.940 --> 19:37.640
Where'd you come from? What, what you made of?

19:37.840 --> 19:38.940
What were your parents like?

19:38.940 --> 19:41.020
You can't do this. You can't do that.

19:42.300 --> 19:44.800
And yet he's telling us to rejoice and sing.

19:46.420 --> 19:50.100
Sing because there's going to be a production,

19:50.560 --> 19:53.280
a producing of more souls,

19:53.460 --> 19:56.240
of more things bringing about change.

19:57.080 --> 19:58.660
And yet we come from backgrounds.

19:59.160 --> 20:01.540
And yet we come from stuff that's like,

20:01.600 --> 20:03.260
well, I don't know if I can produce that.

20:03.280 --> 20:05.260
No, we can't. God's going to do this.

20:05.320 --> 20:06.920
This is what causes us to sing.

20:06.920 --> 20:09.080
Then he says enlarge the place of your tent.

20:09.240 --> 20:11.720
He didn't say, so wait till they show up.

20:11.900 --> 20:13.440
And then we'll go ahead and enlarge the tent.

20:14.040 --> 20:16.580
You know, if they show up, we'll do that.

20:16.960 --> 20:19.380
No, no, no enlarge the place of your tent

20:19.380 --> 20:23.060
and let your curtains of your habitations be stretched out.

20:23.460 --> 20:25.860
So there is a stretching that it's going to take

20:25.860 --> 20:27.820
for us to get that new building.

20:29.780 --> 20:31.200
And it's all about the lost.

20:32.600 --> 20:35.660
It's all about those that need to be produced.

20:36.180 --> 20:38.840
It's all about those that he's promised us.

20:38.900 --> 20:39.700
That's why we're singing.

20:40.140 --> 20:42.420
We're rejoicing because we're always coming.

20:43.300 --> 20:43.980
It's coming.

20:44.680 --> 20:46.220
There's some times...

20:46.820 --> 20:50.440
I don't know if it's just the operation of evangelism or what.

20:50.680 --> 20:53.460
I was with my husband one time just going to

20:54.160 --> 20:56.900
get some drums for Ari when she was first learning

20:56.900 --> 20:57.500
how to play drums.

20:57.720 --> 21:00.540
And we pulled into the person's yard.

21:00.900 --> 21:02.600
I turned to my husband with, you know,

21:02.600 --> 21:04.360
the crazy look I get sometimes.

21:05.220 --> 21:06.900
You know, and he said,

21:07.400 --> 21:08.360
what's going on?

21:08.440 --> 21:09.880
I said, somebody's getting saved today.

21:11.100 --> 21:12.020
I could feel it.

21:12.880 --> 21:15.240
So we get out and he's doing the, you know,

21:15.300 --> 21:17.280
pay for the drums, do that whole thing or whatever.

21:17.820 --> 21:18.980
And I could feel it.

21:19.120 --> 21:21.780
It was just like, so I just started poking around

21:21.780 --> 21:24.260
and asking questions and, oh, you're moving soon?

21:24.520 --> 21:26.260
And, you know, that's why you're getting rid of the drums.

21:26.440 --> 21:27.180
Okay, or whatever.

21:27.360 --> 21:30.320
And just all of a sudden, oh, she just says her whole story.

21:32.280 --> 21:33.360
Divorce is what happened.

21:33.480 --> 21:34.300
I don't know what I'm going to do.

21:34.460 --> 21:34.860
Right.

21:35.940 --> 21:39.840
And so there's a rejoicing, though,

21:39.880 --> 21:42.560
before I didn't even know who was in the house.

21:43.180 --> 21:43.460
There's a rejoice.

21:43.620 --> 21:45.660
It's like when you know something from God,

21:45.800 --> 21:47.020
when he's promised you souls,

21:47.160 --> 21:48.680
when he's promised you different things,

21:49.160 --> 21:51.120
you know it before you can see it.

21:51.860 --> 21:53.320
And you should be excited about it.

21:53.900 --> 21:55.180
If I burst out in song right then,

21:55.300 --> 21:55.940
that would have been fitting.

21:56.500 --> 21:59.500
And so ended up leading her to Christ.

21:59.500 --> 22:02.500
And the picture that we have at TBO,

22:02.840 --> 22:03.900
that is the bridge,

22:04.840 --> 22:06.540
that's right as you come in the front door,

22:06.660 --> 22:08.280
there's a little foyer area.

22:08.680 --> 22:09.640
There's a big picture there.

22:09.760 --> 22:12.580
And before I left, she just turned to me

22:12.580 --> 22:14.820
and she said, I think this belongs to you.

22:15.700 --> 22:18.240
And gave it to me as we walked out the door.

22:18.740 --> 22:20.320
And it was like, whoo, whoo.

22:20.460 --> 22:23.380
That's how, when the Spirit of God is moving,

22:23.840 --> 22:26.240
how simple evangelism can be.

22:29.230 --> 22:30.170
I'm telling you.

22:30.630 --> 22:32.930
When the Spirit of God comes on this church,

22:33.410 --> 22:34.570
more than it is now,

22:34.770 --> 22:35.990
I mean, it's here to produce now,

22:36.090 --> 22:38.290
but we have not seen anything yet.

22:38.730 --> 22:40.610
I know because I got saved in revival.

22:40.850 --> 22:41.830
When I got saved in revival,

22:41.950 --> 22:44.710
my form of witnessing was so low level.

22:44.830 --> 22:45.730
You heard me say this.

22:45.890 --> 22:47.650
I mean, literally, I would go to my friends and say,

22:47.990 --> 22:49.310
hey, you want to go to a church?

22:49.470 --> 22:50.470
Like people cry and stuff.

22:50.610 --> 22:51.230
They raise their hands.

22:51.530 --> 22:52.770
I don't know all about that,

22:52.830 --> 22:53.730
but you want to go?

22:53.810 --> 22:54.430
And they're like, sure.

22:57.190 --> 22:58.830
Over a hundred people got saved

22:58.830 --> 23:00.390
in the three month period of time.

23:00.930 --> 23:03.350
Out of that, we counted 25 ministers.

23:03.690 --> 23:04.450
I was one of them.

23:05.470 --> 23:06.470
My brother, Joe, was another.

23:08.390 --> 23:09.770
And you could go back and be like,

23:09.870 --> 23:11.290
what was the sermon that did that?

23:11.790 --> 23:12.270
What was it?

23:12.390 --> 23:13.990
No, it was the Spirit of God.

23:15.550 --> 23:16.850
It was people who had prayed,

23:17.170 --> 23:19.930
people who cried out, people who worshiped

23:19.930 --> 23:21.750
on behalf of knowing this is coming.

23:24.270 --> 23:24.990
Mm-hmm.

23:26.090 --> 23:27.370
Enlarge the place of your tent

23:27.370 --> 23:29.590
and let the curtains of your habitations

23:29.590 --> 23:30.390
be stretched out.

23:30.530 --> 23:33.250
So what I want to say in warning to that

23:34.390 --> 23:35.950
and the rest of the verses says,

23:35.950 --> 23:37.350
spare not, lengthen your cords

23:37.350 --> 23:38.450
and strengthen your stakes.

23:38.790 --> 23:39.710
Nobody likes change.

23:40.090 --> 23:41.870
It's probably the most stressful thing

23:41.870 --> 23:43.470
that our body experiences,

23:43.650 --> 23:44.330
even if it's good.

23:44.430 --> 23:46.370
We just don't like it, right?

23:46.810 --> 23:48.890
Where our neurons grow in such a way.

23:48.950 --> 23:49.910
It's like, that's my pattern.

23:50.070 --> 23:50.590
Leave it alone.

23:51.570 --> 23:54.250
And yet you can't have patterns

23:54.750 --> 23:56.430
of always staying the same

23:57.090 --> 23:58.550
when you go to grow a church.

23:59.410 --> 24:00.350
When you minister.

24:03.660 --> 24:04.700
If you think about it,

24:04.880 --> 24:05.920
religion does what it's best

24:05.920 --> 24:06.920
to open the doors

24:06.920 --> 24:08.900
and then get some people in

24:08.900 --> 24:09.840
and teach them the pattern

24:09.840 --> 24:11.120
we need to stay in there

24:11.120 --> 24:12.040
and now stay in that.

24:12.740 --> 24:13.320
There you go.

24:13.380 --> 24:14.360
Now we got church.

24:14.540 --> 24:15.420
We stayed in a pattern.

24:15.660 --> 24:15.700
Whatever.

24:16.160 --> 24:17.100
Where revival is,

24:17.140 --> 24:18.320
it's like, I don't know what's going to happen.

24:19.220 --> 24:21.020
I mean, we got ushers and stuff trained,

24:21.200 --> 24:22.320
but, you know,

24:22.720 --> 24:23.940
we don't know what's going to happen here.

24:24.920 --> 24:26.960
He's taking us to that.

24:29.500 --> 24:29.980
Hallelujah.

24:31.480 --> 24:33.680
And we're to enlarge the place of our tent

24:33.680 --> 24:35.140
and let the curtains of your habitation

24:35.140 --> 24:36.040
be stretched out.

24:36.420 --> 24:37.140
Spare not.

24:37.380 --> 24:39.420
So even it's dealing with attitudes, too.

24:39.960 --> 24:40.740
Lengthen your cords

24:40.740 --> 24:41.740
and strengthen your sticks.

24:41.820 --> 24:42.400
Where's the people?

24:42.620 --> 24:43.040
I don't know.

24:43.740 --> 24:44.680
We're just going to do it.

24:45.440 --> 24:46.440
We're getting ready.

24:46.980 --> 24:48.160
Just like I said to him,

24:48.240 --> 24:49.200
somebody's getting saved today.

24:51.160 --> 24:52.200
You know it.

24:53.260 --> 24:55.140
And so part of

24:55.860 --> 24:56.900
revelatory knowledge

24:56.900 --> 24:58.080
is the knowing.

24:59.120 --> 25:00.340
You've seen something

25:00.340 --> 25:02.200
that's not here in the physical.

25:03.360 --> 25:04.100
It's like too late.

25:04.320 --> 25:04.840
I saw it.

25:06.460 --> 25:08.600
I remember Friday night freedom

25:08.600 --> 25:09.740
when we first started it.

25:10.320 --> 25:11.340
The Lord said,

25:11.580 --> 25:12.560
take the group of people here

25:12.560 --> 25:13.600
and go walk outside

25:13.600 --> 25:15.680
to the back area here.

25:16.000 --> 25:17.220
That was the fence.

25:17.420 --> 25:18.740
And we had asked for that land,

25:18.880 --> 25:19.220
nothing.

25:19.540 --> 25:20.440
And we asked again,

25:20.680 --> 25:21.020
nothing.

25:21.620 --> 25:22.620
And we took group of people.

25:22.720 --> 25:23.640
This was years ago.

25:23.640 --> 25:27.180
And we just laid our hands on the fence.

25:27.980 --> 25:29.000
I called it ours.

25:29.760 --> 25:31.800
And that God would work it out in time.

25:34.900 --> 25:36.160
And was refused again.

25:36.440 --> 25:38.240
And God would work it out in time.

25:39.660 --> 25:40.660
Where's the building going?

25:40.900 --> 25:42.720
Where God worked it out in time.

25:44.260 --> 25:44.460
Right?

25:45.420 --> 25:47.240
We're not in the position

25:47.240 --> 25:48.100
as Christians,

25:48.300 --> 25:50.000
we can't posture ourselves

25:50.000 --> 25:51.280
as we'll wait and see

25:51.280 --> 25:52.240
what happens to Christians.

25:53.200 --> 25:54.260
No, we say,

25:54.260 --> 25:55.680
we call things that are not

25:55.680 --> 25:56.580
as though they were.

25:57.240 --> 25:59.180
And we get up and do something about it.

26:00.360 --> 26:00.980
That's faith.

26:01.620 --> 26:01.920
That's faith.

26:02.460 --> 26:04.180
So he wants us to be in that position.

26:04.720 --> 26:06.760
I like how made some of you

26:06.760 --> 26:07.580
nervous when it says,

26:07.680 --> 26:08.260
spare not.

26:09.540 --> 26:11.280
What are they gonna spend on this thing?

26:12.420 --> 26:13.000
Spare not.

26:13.120 --> 26:14.180
Whatever he tells us to do,

26:14.240 --> 26:14.960
that's what we're gonna do.

26:16.720 --> 26:17.940
So that worries you.

26:17.980 --> 26:19.020
You might want to read this

26:19.020 --> 26:20.000
and get settled with God.

26:20.840 --> 26:21.400
Spare not.

26:22.280 --> 26:23.200
For you will spread

26:23.200 --> 26:24.940
abroad to the right hand

26:24.940 --> 26:25.760
and to the left

26:25.760 --> 26:26.660
and your offspring

26:26.660 --> 26:27.940
will possess the nations

26:27.940 --> 26:29.960
and make the desolate cities

26:29.960 --> 26:30.920
to be inhabited.

26:31.780 --> 26:33.820
We're seeing just little bits of that.

26:34.480 --> 26:35.940
Like in the natural

26:35.940 --> 26:38.340
we're moving into little places

26:39.020 --> 26:39.960
in the north

26:39.960 --> 26:41.000
as far as influence

26:41.000 --> 26:43.640
and there is change coming to pass.

26:43.900 --> 26:44.820
But you will spread

26:44.820 --> 26:45.920
abroad to the right hand

26:45.920 --> 26:46.680
and to the left.

26:47.220 --> 26:47.460
Now,

26:50.320 --> 26:51.720
you have to catch that

26:51.720 --> 26:52.680
in the spirit too.

26:54.560 --> 26:55.720
Because for some of us

26:55.720 --> 26:56.540
just to

26:57.260 --> 26:59.140
say where we're gonna have a second service

26:59.140 --> 26:59.520
is like,

26:59.680 --> 27:00.600
oh my goodness,

27:00.640 --> 27:01.700
that's a lot of change.

27:02.320 --> 27:03.420
See, but when you're used to,

27:03.580 --> 27:04.780
like flowing in the spirit,

27:04.900 --> 27:05.660
you're always changing.

27:06.540 --> 27:08.360
You just shift to wherever he wants to go.

27:09.900 --> 27:10.960
Now it needs to be established,

27:11.220 --> 27:12.460
whatever it is that we do,

27:13.000 --> 27:14.280
it needs to be established,

27:14.320 --> 27:16.300
but we have to get into a place

27:16.300 --> 27:18.060
where we're movable.

27:19.560 --> 27:21.320
We have to stay in a place

27:21.320 --> 27:22.660
where we're always movable.

27:22.660 --> 27:24.920
And there is no place in the spirit

27:24.920 --> 27:25.760
where we arrive.

27:26.700 --> 27:27.620
This is what happened

27:27.620 --> 27:28.700
when we moved from the modular.

27:28.860 --> 27:30.380
I mean, revival meetings,

27:31.060 --> 27:31.920
stuff's happening,

27:32.100 --> 27:32.900
people getting saved,

27:33.000 --> 27:33.800
crazy stuff.

27:34.360 --> 27:35.300
I'll just tell you one thing,

27:35.360 --> 27:36.480
we were running a preschool,

27:36.880 --> 27:37.440
Bonnie and I,

27:37.920 --> 27:39.820
and Kristen was a part of it

27:39.820 --> 27:41.500
and a few other people.

27:41.740 --> 27:43.240
And we ran a preschool

27:43.240 --> 27:45.780
in that modular on our property.

27:46.160 --> 27:47.120
Then we'd clean it all up

27:47.120 --> 27:48.020
and then we'd have services,

27:48.020 --> 27:48.460
whatever.

27:49.040 --> 27:50.060
Well, we had the little tent

27:50.060 --> 27:50.760
that's out back

27:50.760 --> 27:51.780
sitting in our yard

27:51.780 --> 27:53.760
and I came out early,

27:53.920 --> 27:54.860
it's like six o'clock in the morning,

27:54.880 --> 27:55.480
you've got to get there

27:55.480 --> 27:56.160
before the parents

27:56.160 --> 27:56.980
and get everything ready.

27:57.740 --> 27:58.740
And there's a man

27:58.740 --> 27:59.940
sitting underneath the tent

28:00.540 --> 28:01.300
with a cane,

28:02.320 --> 28:03.600
sitting on a random chair.

28:04.780 --> 28:05.420
And I was like,

28:05.880 --> 28:06.300
okay,

28:07.060 --> 28:08.160
because this is our yard.

28:08.320 --> 28:08.500
And I'm like,

28:08.620 --> 28:09.200
what are we doing?

28:09.700 --> 28:10.560
You know, it didn't have anything

28:10.560 --> 28:11.980
to do with the daker

28:11.980 --> 28:12.820
or anything like that.

28:13.860 --> 28:15.360
But where I went over

28:15.360 --> 28:16.080
and I talked to him

28:16.080 --> 28:17.660
and he said the hospital sent him.

28:18.480 --> 28:19.880
They dropped him off by bus.

28:21.620 --> 28:23.160
And he gave me the piece of paper.

28:23.320 --> 28:24.380
Now, he was African

28:25.040 --> 28:26.680
and so he had a really strong broke

28:26.680 --> 28:27.800
and he said,

28:28.280 --> 28:29.380
they've sent me to you.

28:29.940 --> 28:30.620
And I was like,

28:30.740 --> 28:31.800
okay, you know,

28:31.920 --> 28:33.400
so he gives me this piece of paper.

28:33.540 --> 28:35.300
Sure enough, a line of hospitals.

28:35.840 --> 28:36.660
And it says,

28:37.620 --> 28:38.000
demonization,

28:39.080 --> 28:39.460
recommendation,

28:40.020 --> 28:40.760
word of life.

28:44.300 --> 28:44.780
I was like,

28:45.260 --> 28:45.980
ah, ah,

28:46.300 --> 28:47.400
so I remember going out

28:47.400 --> 28:48.160
telling the girls,

28:48.280 --> 28:49.240
you got to take this

28:49.240 --> 28:50.020
or I got it,

28:50.100 --> 28:50.720
where were we going to do?

28:50.720 --> 28:51.320
Right?

28:51.780 --> 28:52.980
And so I'm looking for verdict.

28:53.180 --> 28:54.940
So we ended up taking him to the house

28:54.940 --> 28:55.860
and doing deliverance.

28:55.980 --> 28:56.320
He had,

28:57.200 --> 28:58.620
like literally his flesh

28:58.620 --> 29:00.100
was rotting on his legs

29:00.100 --> 29:01.060
from the knees down.

29:01.960 --> 29:03.860
And we ended up doing deliverance

29:03.860 --> 29:04.360
with him.

29:04.520 --> 29:05.520
And then I found out later

29:05.520 --> 29:06.240
that cleared up.

29:07.440 --> 29:08.400
Interesting enough.

29:09.080 --> 29:09.300
Right?

29:09.860 --> 29:10.640
That's revival.

29:12.020 --> 29:13.620
That stuff happening now.

29:13.920 --> 29:16.100
Now, should we be doing stuff on purpose?

29:16.300 --> 29:16.480
Yes.

29:16.720 --> 29:17.940
I try to witness to people

29:17.940 --> 29:19.500
wherever I go on purpose.

29:20.060 --> 29:21.660
Because that's the go into all the world.

29:21.820 --> 29:22.280
That's my job.

29:22.580 --> 29:23.480
That's your job, too.

29:24.200 --> 29:24.840
And you just do it

29:24.840 --> 29:25.480
because you do it

29:25.480 --> 29:26.360
because you care about people.

29:26.660 --> 29:28.440
You're looking for that hurting person

29:28.440 --> 29:30.080
or the one who's open to the gospel.

29:30.960 --> 29:31.860
But these are like,

29:31.920 --> 29:32.680
what are you doing here?

29:32.980 --> 29:33.160
You know,

29:33.320 --> 29:34.080
that's the kind of stuff

29:34.080 --> 29:35.000
that happens in revival.

29:35.260 --> 29:36.360
Like, how, what?

29:39.000 --> 29:40.860
I've never heard of a hospital doing that.

29:42.260 --> 29:43.340
But he had the paperwork.

29:43.980 --> 29:44.380
And so,

29:44.840 --> 29:46.420
and they sent him by bus

29:46.420 --> 29:47.680
out to our property

29:47.680 --> 29:48.200
and he walked

29:48.200 --> 29:49.020
and just was way...

29:49.020 --> 29:49.980
I don't know how long he was there.

29:50.080 --> 29:51.080
He just waited underneath,

29:51.720 --> 29:53.340
you know, the tent.

29:54.140 --> 29:54.760
For us.

29:55.000 --> 29:56.220
I know, crazy stuff happens.

29:56.720 --> 29:59.040
I could name story after story

29:59.040 --> 30:02.080
that have bits and pieces of revival.

30:03.420 --> 30:04.460
And many of them,

30:04.460 --> 30:05.680
we never shared with you.

30:06.120 --> 30:07.640
And some of them were you.

30:08.620 --> 30:10.000
And that's why you're here now.

30:11.100 --> 30:12.160
But if you look,

30:12.320 --> 30:13.800
the illusion is like,

30:13.960 --> 30:14.640
oh my goodness,

30:14.780 --> 30:15.760
the church is filling up.

30:15.760 --> 30:16.360
Huh.

30:20.210 --> 30:21.610
It might have got saved at TBO.

30:22.010 --> 30:23.130
Might have got saved over here.

30:23.310 --> 30:24.290
Somebody else in the body.

30:24.630 --> 30:26.570
But it just looks like we just fill up.

30:28.770 --> 30:31.290
Revival is just people will hear about it

30:31.290 --> 30:32.450
from all over the place.

30:32.570 --> 30:34.110
You don't know who's going to show up

30:34.110 --> 30:35.750
and we best be ready for it.

30:35.970 --> 30:37.610
So we have to stretch

30:37.610 --> 30:40.050
and strengthen the stakes.

30:41.610 --> 30:44.150
We got to make sure this thing is strong

30:44.150 --> 30:46.530
in order to house revival.

30:47.930 --> 30:50.010
Now revival for us

30:51.050 --> 30:52.130
does come in waves.

30:52.510 --> 30:54.890
It's just a pattern that the Lord uses us at.

30:55.130 --> 30:56.070
We are not...

30:57.850 --> 30:59.110
We're not the like,

30:59.850 --> 31:00.830
you know, here it is,

31:00.990 --> 31:01.690
shebang it's over

31:01.690 --> 31:02.990
and we never see it again.

31:03.150 --> 31:03.950
We're also not.

31:04.350 --> 31:05.570
Every day is revival

31:05.570 --> 31:06.870
and we're just going to do this

31:06.870 --> 31:07.210
for years.

31:07.530 --> 31:09.410
No God will bring it in waves

31:09.410 --> 31:10.850
and then he expects us

31:10.850 --> 31:11.870
to take care of what happened.

31:12.630 --> 31:13.950
Then it'll come another wave

31:13.950 --> 31:14.930
and then he expects us.

31:15.530 --> 31:17.430
But just like the blessing

31:18.390 --> 31:20.110
that Revelations talks about

31:20.110 --> 31:21.130
I mean if the blessing truck

31:21.130 --> 31:21.850
runs you over

31:21.850 --> 31:22.830
then you're in a spot

31:22.830 --> 31:23.810
you're so overly blessed

31:23.810 --> 31:25.090
you can't see straight.

31:25.510 --> 31:26.570
It's the same thing

31:26.570 --> 31:27.590
can happen in revival.

31:27.810 --> 31:28.050
You're just like,

31:28.090 --> 31:29.170
I don't even know

31:29.170 --> 31:30.030
there's so many people.

31:31.170 --> 31:32.150
We have to be ready

31:32.150 --> 31:33.430
for all those things

31:34.070 --> 31:35.290
but the waves

31:35.290 --> 31:36.670
we need to recognize

31:36.670 --> 31:37.950
you can feel it.

31:38.270 --> 31:39.130
I could feel

31:39.130 --> 31:40.650
just a strength

31:40.650 --> 31:42.170
of the spirit in here

31:42.170 --> 31:43.450
this morning when I walked in.

31:43.450 --> 31:45.430
It was just like

31:48.390 --> 31:49.510
he's poising us.

31:49.670 --> 31:50.770
You can feel it's like

31:50.770 --> 31:52.010
it's like surfer

31:52.010 --> 31:52.870
I don't know how many of you

31:52.870 --> 31:53.970
have surfed here in Minnesota

31:55.050 --> 31:56.790
but I've watched him in California

31:56.790 --> 31:58.030
you know they just wait

31:58.030 --> 31:58.770
they're on the board

31:58.770 --> 31:59.430
and they're just like

31:59.430 --> 32:00.450
doing the thing

32:00.450 --> 32:02.430
they're waiting to catch the wave

32:02.870 --> 32:03.650
they'll see it

32:03.650 --> 32:03.950
and they're like,

32:03.970 --> 32:04.530
okay that's one

32:04.530 --> 32:05.310
I got to get out there.

32:06.730 --> 32:08.050
That's how it works with revival.

32:08.990 --> 32:10.290
So the basics though

32:10.290 --> 32:11.350
of the physical part

32:11.350 --> 32:12.610
is you always have to

32:12.610 --> 32:14.110
have the base foundation there

32:14.110 --> 32:14.730
no matter what

32:14.730 --> 32:16.010
you have to have a building

32:16.950 --> 32:18.110
we have to have workers

32:18.110 --> 32:20.030
we have to have people in place

32:20.030 --> 32:21.830
we have to have the gems

32:21.830 --> 32:23.010
in the wall

32:23.010 --> 32:24.830
placed exactly where they need

32:24.830 --> 32:26.370
to be ready to shine

32:29.300 --> 32:30.620
you have to have that

32:30.620 --> 32:32.660
and that should always be there

32:32.660 --> 32:35.100
but that's not just

32:35.100 --> 32:36.680
what church is

32:36.680 --> 32:38.460
that's a foundation

32:38.970 --> 32:40.820
that you house the rest on

32:41.800 --> 32:43.500
and so for you

32:43.500 --> 32:49.560
You will spread abroad to the right hand and to the left. That's a promise he gave us. And that is exactly what's going to happen.

32:50.700 --> 32:57.600
We are pushing in and your offspring will possess the nations and make the desolate cities to be inhabited. Now for

32:58.260 --> 33:04.300
Mission 61 for core programs for some of the stuff that I've done. I've watched God

33:05.220 --> 33:07.420
do revival type stuff and

33:08.140 --> 33:13.480
We're not going about it the right way. See the right way was I'd get online and I'd be advertising this all the time

33:13.500 --> 33:19.400
Make sure I'm on this program and that and we'd get the name out. He's spreading, you know all kinds of stuff

33:19.400 --> 33:24.460
But it's crazy to me. I can go up to Pine City and run into somebody like you're Mary Peltz, aren't you?

33:25.320 --> 33:31.160
I'm not doing that. I'm not advertising all over the place. Well, I had a friend who told me about blah blah blah

33:31.160 --> 33:32.680
She said you were connected to

33:33.460 --> 33:34.500
Where's your church at?

33:35.240 --> 33:39.440
See there's some things where he's doing that supernatural not just with me

33:39.440 --> 33:46.160
But with all kinds of people pushing into this that's spreading into the region and it seems like it's so far out there

33:46.160 --> 33:48.260
Like how are we gonna reach it? He already is

33:48.260 --> 33:51.720
He's already reaching the region through this church

33:53.400 --> 33:54.620
He already is

33:55.120 --> 34:00.240
It's so exciting and and yet then all of a sudden the fruit of that will show up and

34:00.740 --> 34:06.420
People will come from far and near now. They might not come from far and join the church as a covenant partner

34:07.620 --> 34:11.560
They might because we have far away covenant partners right now, Colorado

34:13.800 --> 34:15.300
But they might not

34:15.800 --> 34:21.020
You know be here every Sunday or whatever, but they'll be traveling through what was called the corridors of victory

34:22.240 --> 34:27.220
Which was a prophecy that talked about them getting to us safely and us getting to them safe

34:27.220 --> 34:28.820
We are going to take the region

34:34.080 --> 34:37.700
Label me is crazy, but we're gonna take the region

34:40.240 --> 34:40.780
And then

34:41.480 --> 34:45.680
The same way that church building is going to come to pass

34:46.560 --> 34:49.640
It's a thing. It's a thing now when we first started in ministry

34:49.640 --> 34:53.700
It was like if you if you had to believe God for a thing. It was like a big deal when you got it

34:53.700 --> 34:58.860
It was like look we got our first podium. I mean remember that love is like

34:59.680 --> 35:04.600
Don't let the kids mess with it. This is the podium. We now have I mean it was like that and

35:06.120 --> 35:13.300
And everything was just really it was like, you know, like we're accomplishing this big thing because we now have a new drum set or whatever

35:13.300 --> 35:14.900
it is and

35:14.900 --> 35:20.740
It's kind of can be the same thing if you look at the church building you can look at it like oh

35:20.740 --> 35:26.060
It's it's so big or what I I'm in my spirit. I'm to the point of like it's a thing we need to do

35:27.580 --> 35:31.840
It's nothing to be worshiped. It's not just get it up like we don't got time for this

35:32.560 --> 35:38.700
Every time, you know, the news comes on or whatever. We don't got time for playing around with sticks and mortar

35:39.920 --> 35:44.460
Because we have no place to house the loss. I just want to get the loss in something

35:45.780 --> 35:51.020
See he'll change it. He'll change the attitude and when you grow into that where you're like

35:51.020 --> 35:53.540
Let's just make this sucker strong and we're not gonna spare

35:53.540 --> 35:58.420
We're gonna make sure we got a spot for everybody and every type of ministry that we could possibly do

35:58.420 --> 36:04.440
Man, we've been gonna go in over that building looking at it like yeah, but where are we gonna have for this group of people?

36:05.420 --> 36:06.660
It all has to fit

36:09.810 --> 36:11.230
Then it just needs to get up

36:12.010 --> 36:12.710
Be built

36:14.490 --> 36:15.630
We're after the lost

36:16.670 --> 36:20.270
We're after the law. I want to clarify that because sometimes people will

36:20.990 --> 36:27.590
Be watching online or whatever and like they're just after people's money to get a building and where are we going to put the people?

36:30.230 --> 36:35.350
Right, it's a no-brainer. We have to have something to put them in

36:36.930 --> 36:41.370
Right, so it's just sticks and mortar cement. I mean, it's just that's what it is

36:41.370 --> 36:44.970
But it's going to be made in such a way that we can house

36:44.970 --> 36:50.830
The most people for the type of anointing that God is going to use this church for

36:51.510 --> 36:54.350
So we're a protector of the anointing first

36:56.230 --> 36:59.170
Because we can't let down on the anointing then go over to

36:59.690 --> 37:02.750
Sticks and mortar and be like and he's just going to show up

37:02.750 --> 37:09.130
No, we have to make sure we protect the well that's here that we're we have the right attitudes about this

37:09.130 --> 37:10.870
So we're looking for the lost

37:12.830 --> 37:16.090
I'm so stinking excited right now. I could go get somebody saved. I'm not even kidding

37:16.550 --> 37:20.130
Sorry anybody in the house who needs to I mean I could feel it. It's like

37:21.430 --> 37:27.370
And so where you will spread abroad to the right handed to the left and your offspring will possess the nations and make the

37:27.370 --> 37:33.010
Dessalus cities to be inhabited fear not for you shall not be ashamed. So every time

37:33.010 --> 37:38.230
I don't care if it's these verses or God tells you something personally. I want you to do such and such

37:39.190 --> 37:40.930
Well, then these are steps

37:40.930 --> 37:46.910
You really could go step number one two three as far as spiritual growth down this chapter and how it would work

37:46.910 --> 37:50.150
It's like whatever he's told you you don't you're not already equipped for

37:50.830 --> 37:54.150
Whatever he's told you to do you don't know how you're going to get it done

37:54.710 --> 37:56.970
We'll start singing. Oh baron one

37:58.250 --> 38:00.290
Right that's step number one start singing

38:01.230 --> 38:05.470
Start singing rejoice and believe that he's going to add to you

38:06.250 --> 38:13.090
In these promises right and so then and then start enlarging the place of your tent and let the curtains of your

38:13.090 --> 38:20.130
Habitations be stretched out spare not lengthen your cords and strengthen your say you go do that in whatever it is

38:20.130 --> 38:26.350
He's asked you to do a business, you know expanding your family whatever it is sing

38:27.190 --> 38:28.450
And then go get ready

38:29.630 --> 38:33.710
That's what that's we're in that stage again and he promises us

38:34.310 --> 38:36.730
That it's just going to spread out. It's just going to happen

38:36.730 --> 38:41.470
But then he deals with what everyone deals with after they get an assignment fear

38:43.490 --> 38:49.590
Because when you're in the anointing it's like whoo-hoo. Yeah in the praise group. Yeah on with jim on friday night

38:49.590 --> 38:54.310
But then all sudden you're sitting at home and you're like, I don't know how we're going to pay for this

38:58.330 --> 38:58.730
Huh

39:01.670 --> 39:06.270
Yeah fear not for you shall not be ashamed. He's not going to put you in a spot

39:06.270 --> 39:09.390
You can put yourself in a spot to be shame by the way

39:11.530 --> 39:14.590
Fearing fearing shame itself you can put yourself in a spot

39:15.230 --> 39:15.790
To be ashamed

39:16.610 --> 39:23.210
But when it comes to him fear not for you shall not be ashamed neither be confounded like confused and depressed

39:24.490 --> 39:28.950
I don't know how i'm gonna pay for college. I don't know how i'm gonna. Whatever it is

39:28.950 --> 39:32.570
It's the very thing. He told you to sing about and settle

39:33.250 --> 39:35.810
And then go start making it happen

39:36.290 --> 39:39.930
Detail the details the only way you're going to get to big picture crying about anything

39:39.930 --> 39:41.230
It's not going to get us there, right?

39:42.030 --> 39:44.990
So this fits not only church but everything that goes on in our life

39:45.230 --> 39:49.270
And when you come under isaiah 54 these steps will get you there

39:49.790 --> 39:54.410
So you might be in a spot where you're like, I am doing those things. I am strengthening the stakes

39:54.410 --> 39:56.990
I do think he's going to do this. We'll stop fearing

39:58.410 --> 40:03.390
Fear not for you shall not be ashamed. You're not going to be confounded or depressed

40:04.210 --> 40:05.690
You'll not be put to shame

40:06.250 --> 40:11.230
For your you you shall forget the shame of your youth. What does that have to do with it?

40:11.250 --> 40:12.770
Why are we bringing up when I was a kid?

40:13.970 --> 40:20.190
Because your program is set by the time you're 30 years old the main foundational pathways in your brain

40:20.190 --> 40:22.110
Grew to what they were going to grow to

40:23.510 --> 40:28.930
Now the only thing that can happen to change things is change the renewing of the mind

40:30.050 --> 40:31.570
But you are your information

40:32.410 --> 40:36.070
And so he's literally telling us not to be afraid

40:36.650 --> 40:40.230
But he's also saying and don't let the way you thought in your youth

40:40.730 --> 40:45.570
Change what you're going to do right now. Well, I'm always left out of things and I

40:45.570 --> 40:50.610
remember the time I got beat up. Oh, I can remember lots of things. I don't have time

40:50.610 --> 41:00.450
for that stuff anymore. Trying to get some people saved, right? And so,

41:00.690 --> 41:04.110
devil can try to bring up my past or someone else and it's like whatever it

41:04.110 --> 41:09.590
is what it is. Anyways, moving right along, that's how we should treat that.

41:09.590 --> 41:14.610
Moving right along, where you shall forget the shame of your youth. That is a

41:14.610 --> 41:18.590
powerful thing he's promised us. So if you've gone through trauma, which we all

41:18.590 --> 41:23.570
have, if we've been touched by sin and we have, if you've got stuff that keeps

41:23.570 --> 41:27.810
repeating in your brain, this is a promise for the entire church. You come

41:27.810 --> 41:31.050
under the anointing of this church, that's what's going to happen. You hang

41:31.050 --> 41:34.290
out with the anointing and all here, it's going to do with your past, your

41:34.290 --> 41:41.510
present, and your future. If you want everything to say the same, this is a

41:41.510 --> 41:46.750
dangerous place to be in. This is a place that'll make you mad, sad, or glad.

41:46.930 --> 41:50.370
This is a place where you'll find him. This is a place where the anointing will

41:50.370 --> 41:54.670
break every yoke of bondage in your life and the stuff that was in your past

41:54.670 --> 41:59.110
that is talking against your future will have to be settled in this house.

42:00.750 --> 42:06.970
By the Spirit. By the Spirit, it'll take place. Hallelujah. So that's the

42:06.970 --> 42:10.110
next step, you know, because when you go to do something it's always some

42:10.110 --> 42:13.030
past thing like, I don't know if you can do, and that's why you don't have the

42:13.030 --> 42:19.710
money, and remember the time, and mom loved my brother more. Okay. But we are in

42:19.710 --> 42:24.630
the now. And now faith is the substance of things, hope for. The faith you have

42:24.630 --> 42:29.550
right now, use that. Don't go back and try to use the stuff where things were

42:29.550 --> 42:34.550
all jacked up. Amen. All right, for you shall forget the shame of your

42:34.550 --> 42:37.830
youth, and you shall not seriously remember the reproach of your

42:37.830 --> 42:41.610
widow head anymore. That's where things didn't produce. That's where things

42:41.610 --> 42:45.930
failed. You're not even gonna remember that. For your maker is your husband. The

42:45.930 --> 42:52.610
Lord of Hosts is his name. Now I like this because sometimes we'll think, well I

42:52.610 --> 42:57.690
sang, I rejoiced, I've enlarged things, I'm moving to, I'm getting education, I'm

42:57.690 --> 43:02.630
doing all these different things, I'm dealing with my past, and now it

43:02.630 --> 43:08.150
just feels like war is breaking out. Every time we grow, the church will go

43:08.150 --> 43:13.750
through this pattern. For your maker is your husband though. The Lord of Hosts

43:13.750 --> 43:22.090
is his name. The Lord of Angel Armies is his name. Jehovah Seboeth, the God of

43:22.090 --> 43:30.130
war in the appointed time, is his name. Right? You won't lock into that though

43:30.130 --> 43:33.230
if you don't get the verses before, if you're just like under, if you're the

43:33.230 --> 43:37.970
victim to your past, everything else is a bully. You have to be in the now

43:37.970 --> 43:42.670
saying, okay, hold on a second now. I might not have the goods but my maker,

43:43.350 --> 43:49.330
the Lord of Hosts does. My maker is bringing us forward. My maker will war

43:49.330 --> 43:56.770
on my behalf. The Lord of Hosts is his name and the Holy One of Israel is

43:56.770 --> 44:02.030
your Redeemer, the God of the whole earth he is called. So pretty sure he has

44:02.030 --> 44:06.090
everything you need to go on your mission trip that you're freaking out

44:06.090 --> 44:11.150
about. See when you when you lay it against who he is it just seems like

44:11.150 --> 44:15.790
oh I forgot it was this little thing. But when it's far away from who he is

44:15.790 --> 44:18.930
you're like I don't know how I'm gonna go and I promised him I'd raise

44:18.930 --> 44:23.530
$500 and what am I gonna do and you see how it just gets huge and then

44:23.530 --> 44:29.350
God's way in the distance. But when you start to recognize that I'm with the Lord

44:30.590 --> 44:33.790
of Hosts. The angels are gonna do something about this. I'm gonna do

44:33.790 --> 44:38.410
something about that. We're all we're all in the oak together. He's gonna work

44:38.410 --> 44:43.430
it out and it shall come to pass and it shall come to pass. For the Lord has

44:43.430 --> 44:46.790
called you like a woman forsaken grieved in spirit and hearts or

44:46.790 --> 44:51.890
even a wife wooed and one in your youth when later refused and scorned.

44:51.890 --> 44:55.830
So even if you're refused and scorned now and you thought you were something else

44:55.830 --> 45:00.550
then or other people thought you were something else then. Hey, God's got you.

45:01.870 --> 45:06.330
This is all past stuff. For a brief moment I forsook you. There were times

45:06.330 --> 45:09.950
God had I mean he's there but he was backed up and we were backed away from

45:09.950 --> 45:14.870
him. But with great compassion and mercy I will gather to you to to me

45:14.870 --> 45:19.090
again. He's gonna take and gather us. That's the stage. That's the stage.

45:19.090 --> 45:25.130
You're like this is gonna be good. In a little burst of wrath part for this day

45:25.130 --> 45:29.410
verse 9 is like the days of Noah to me as I swore that the waters of Noah should

45:29.410 --> 45:33.430
no more go over the earth. So I have sworn that I will not be angry with you

45:33.430 --> 45:37.950
or rebuke you for though the mountain shall depart and the hills be shaken

45:37.950 --> 45:43.270
or removed yet my love and kindness shall not depart from you nor shall my

45:43.270 --> 45:46.810
covenant of peace and completeness be removed says the Lord who has

45:46.810 --> 45:52.470
compassion on you. See I like that he put that in there who has compassion on you

45:52.470 --> 45:56.610
because if you are stuck in those other verses where shame is eating your lunch

45:56.610 --> 45:59.970
you don't believe he has compassion on you. So if you're going through the

45:59.970 --> 46:05.670
steps and you're you're starting to see oh man I just my past and I don't

46:05.670 --> 46:08.710
know how he's gonna do this because look at me and look what I've been

46:08.710 --> 46:13.530
through and then he tells us don't worry about it. He's gonna take care

46:13.530 --> 46:19.110
of this and he's the one who has compassion on you you'll be ready to

46:19.110 --> 46:25.070
receive that but if you're not quite through four or five and six that stage

46:25.070 --> 46:28.330
of it you're not really ready for compassion. You ever prayed for some

46:28.330 --> 46:31.550
people and then they'll call you the next day as if you never prayed for

46:31.550 --> 46:35.590
him and the next day and they're still complaining about the same things

46:35.590 --> 46:39.490
like you never gave him advice. They're not ready to receive the

46:39.490 --> 46:45.490
compassion that's coming out of you. They're still stuck in verses four, five, and

46:45.490 --> 46:49.270
six. They're still fearing they're in their shame and you can't get through

46:49.270 --> 46:52.750
because it's like a shield there. See God wants us to go when we go through

46:52.750 --> 46:56.570
church growth and there's people coming in they're gonna go through this and

46:56.570 --> 46:59.170
we have to recognize there's going to be a stage. We went through the

46:59.170 --> 47:03.730
stages guess what buddy you get to go through the stages too. And this is

47:03.730 --> 47:08.110
the victory that is ours though. He goes on and tells us what's

47:08.110 --> 47:12.430
promised to us and oh you afflicted city storm tossed and not comforted

47:12.430 --> 47:17.170
behold I will set your stones in fair colors. Oh and brilliance and lay your

47:17.170 --> 47:20.930
foundations with sapphires and I will make your windows and pinnacles of

47:20.930 --> 47:24.950
sparkling agates and rubies and your gates of shine and carbuncles. So you've

47:24.950 --> 47:30.190
gone from shame not even sure how you're going to expand this tent to

47:30.190 --> 47:36.770
that. These are all his promises and all your walls of your enclosures are

47:36.770 --> 47:40.510
going to have precious stones. You just do that first part I'll put the precious

47:40.510 --> 47:48.170
stones in I'll take care of it. He's promising this to us. We already had it

47:48.170 --> 47:52.290
take place and then it went through and then we had to take place again and then

47:52.290 --> 47:56.650
went through a season and then we had guess where we're at right now. Yeah

47:57.370 --> 48:02.150
we're at that spot and if you understand that you've gone through it and

48:02.150 --> 48:05.750
you understand the teachings and stuff that have been handed to you you

48:05.750 --> 48:09.690
can turn around and help the next person and that's how revival is going to

48:09.690 --> 48:20.050
work. It cannot be based on the pastors here. Amen. I ain't that amazing. I'd like

48:20.050 --> 48:23.650
to be but I'm not. And I will make your windows and pinnacles of sparkling

48:23.650 --> 48:27.130
agates and rubies and your gates of shining carbuncles and all your walls

48:27.130 --> 48:32.410
all of the walls of your enclosure of precious stones and all your spiritual

48:32.410 --> 48:36.650
children shall be disciples taught by the Lord and obedient to his will and

48:36.650 --> 48:40.350
great shall be the peace and undisturbed composure of your children. Now something

48:40.350 --> 48:44.690
that the Lord had asked me a while back I was preaching on something that we're

48:44.690 --> 48:47.590
supposed to go and make disciples and the Lord said how do you make a disciple

48:47.590 --> 48:54.110
and I was like well yeah there's stuff you do you know like making them into

48:54.110 --> 48:58.550
it you just like tell them and then they got to learn to pray and you

48:58.550 --> 49:01.530
know so all that what I found is what was coming out of me my first answers

49:01.530 --> 49:07.470
were all pad answers Christians you have to love them show them Jesus what

49:07.470 --> 49:13.870
does that mean how how what does it look like to be a disciple and because a

49:13.870 --> 49:19.670
disciple is a disciplined one so as we learned you come from being a believer

49:19.670 --> 49:24.310
like yeah I believe there's a God can be at the lowest form of belief right

49:24.310 --> 49:28.770
even the demons believe that and tremble that's the lowest form of

49:28.770 --> 49:33.650
You believe to our God. Then you move into believing, and the next thing you believe enough, you start to follow.

49:34.550 --> 49:41.690
Get out the way. Now I'm a follower. And then when you go from a follower, you're going to go through some things that will lead you into...

49:41.690 --> 49:43.390
And I got to discipline myself to even do this.

49:44.950 --> 49:50.450
Snap. I don't even want to do this. Like it's 5.30 in the morning. Why do you want me to get up right now?

49:50.630 --> 49:57.170
And you go through that wrestling. At the same time, Isaiah 54 is taking place in you.

49:57.170 --> 50:04.110
He's making you into a disciple. Because we can't take people where we haven't gone and we can't give them what we don't have.

50:04.230 --> 50:08.890
We can't make a disciple if we're not made a disciple ourselves.

50:09.870 --> 50:10.130
Amen.

50:11.850 --> 50:12.350
We ain't got it.

50:13.770 --> 50:18.430
We can talk schmoozy. That means stupid talk. You know, we're like, you know what you need to do?

50:18.650 --> 50:22.250
And I kind of give them some instructions. We're not doing it.

50:23.090 --> 50:28.850
But when the anointing is there and the people that are in the chute of discipleship headed to martyr,

50:29.850 --> 50:34.070
the anointing increase because of faithfulness and obedience,

50:35.330 --> 50:42.490
the people coming in that are choosing to follow, they'll just get sucked right into that vacuum and be changed.

50:43.430 --> 50:46.090
But if we don't have it, then they're not going to have it.

50:47.430 --> 50:49.890
So he's taking us through these different things.

50:50.150 --> 50:56.330
And even the storms we go through, they are storms, but when we go through them, they hurt.

50:58.030 --> 51:00.970
And it causes us, God doesn't have to cause a storm.

51:01.610 --> 51:02.690
Storms in this life happen.

51:03.470 --> 51:06.310
Like he didn't cause cancer in my body, but it happened.

51:09.010 --> 51:10.210
I learned some things.

51:11.930 --> 51:14.210
I'm a different warrior now than I was before.

51:17.580 --> 51:19.100
And so I'm thankful.

51:19.500 --> 51:24.660
I don't want to have to go through that again, but I tell you what, the end result is valuable to me.

51:26.020 --> 51:30.580
Because now it's given me an ability to see in the two things that I could not see before.

51:30.780 --> 51:33.680
And how is an anointing that I didn't have before?

51:35.440 --> 51:37.880
See trials would do that if you use them the right way.

51:38.920 --> 51:40.080
You push into God.

51:40.940 --> 51:46.800
Oh, and I will make your windows and he talks about who's going to add to us and go down to verse 14.

51:46.940 --> 51:52.120
You shall establish yourself in righteousness, rightness and conformity with God's will and order.

51:52.680 --> 51:58.420
So this is another reason why we know here we can't do those sermons where it's like,

51:58.540 --> 52:00.680
I understand what you're going through.

52:01.180 --> 52:04.600
And I know you have to drink before you go to sleep at night to relax.

52:04.900 --> 52:07.940
And it's okay if you're sleeping around and it's all right.

52:07.940 --> 52:10.360
Because God's grace is here for you.

52:10.880 --> 52:12.920
I don't know why, but usually their voices are like that.

52:13.280 --> 52:15.980
So that's why I have to, because I don't have that voice.

52:16.400 --> 52:20.320
I have to pretend that it's just, he loves you no matter what.

52:21.420 --> 52:23.300
Can you receive his love right now?

52:23.400 --> 52:25.920
Well, if I receive his love right now, I'm not in that condition.

52:26.180 --> 52:26.960
I'm getting corrected.

52:28.100 --> 52:29.160
Because that's love too.

52:30.260 --> 52:32.080
I don't know why it works only for me.

52:33.380 --> 52:35.260
I start looking like, how'd you get out of that?

52:35.260 --> 52:37.680
That's not what happens when I get in his presence.

52:38.780 --> 52:43.320
But it's a way of hoaxing people into church.

52:44.120 --> 52:47.340
That church so understands me. They understand my emotions.

52:48.100 --> 52:50.180
God cares about your emotions, but it's way down here.

52:51.500 --> 52:52.720
He wants you to grow into faith.

52:54.100 --> 52:56.980
He knows your emotions can take you to places that will kill you.

53:00.000 --> 53:00.200
Amen.

53:01.880 --> 53:07.020
And so, bucking up, buttercup, we have to get up and move on.

53:07.680 --> 53:10.800
And so he's telling us that he's going to establish us.

53:11.060 --> 53:13.020
But how is he doing it in righteousness?

53:13.880 --> 53:18.700
That means we have to change in conformity with God's will and order.

53:18.840 --> 53:22.180
So what pastor said a little bit ago during the praise and worship,

53:22.620 --> 53:24.060
that might seem harsh to some people.

53:24.220 --> 53:26.040
Like, oh, why does he have to talk that way?

53:26.100 --> 53:27.460
Because the Bible says it first of all.

53:27.460 --> 53:30.020
And secondly, we have to hold to our mandate.

53:31.380 --> 53:33.700
Our mandate is to conform to his will.

53:34.320 --> 53:36.820
The word will is his ways of doing things.

53:38.180 --> 53:38.620
Yeah?

53:39.360 --> 53:42.640
That's what the word will means, his ways of doing things.

53:43.460 --> 53:45.580
And so, here we are.

53:45.740 --> 53:47.580
Behold, they may gather together and stir up stripes.

53:47.660 --> 53:49.520
So then he starts talking about people coming against us.

53:50.200 --> 53:52.260
Haven't we been through enough in this chapter already?

53:52.980 --> 53:54.280
Del with the shame of our youth.

53:54.460 --> 53:56.120
That took like four weeks of crying.

53:56.120 --> 53:58.060
And, you know, I've gone through some of this,

53:58.200 --> 54:00.760
where he'll take you through and it's almost like you're going through a filter

54:00.760 --> 54:02.260
and you're like, this again, what?

54:02.480 --> 54:04.780
And he's just filtering out more stuff.

54:04.980 --> 54:08.140
And then he gets you to a place of faith that you address some things.

54:08.440 --> 54:11.060
And then you decide, I'm going to be a disciple on this.

54:11.180 --> 54:12.260
I'm doing this no matter what.

54:14.520 --> 54:16.180
I like to say, come hell or high water.

54:17.600 --> 54:18.900
It's kind of a bigger announcement.

54:19.460 --> 54:20.120
Come hell or high water.

54:20.620 --> 54:21.540
I can't even swim.

54:21.880 --> 54:23.780
I'm that person that floats to the bottom of the pool.

54:25.280 --> 54:28.160
I can sit on the bottom of the pool. No problem.

54:28.840 --> 54:29.720
But I can't swim.

54:30.440 --> 54:32.220
So you needed to know that somehow.

54:32.400 --> 54:35.260
But anyways, so now here we are.

54:35.400 --> 54:36.680
We're going through all of this stuff.

54:36.900 --> 54:38.880
He's telling us he wants us disciples.

54:39.260 --> 54:42.300
And then that will be far from verse 14.

54:42.460 --> 54:44.100
Even the thought of oppression.

54:44.600 --> 54:46.560
What is oppression, but the spirit of heaviness?

54:47.040 --> 54:49.020
Where does the spirit of heaviness come from?

54:49.520 --> 54:51.920
Go back around to verse four.

54:51.920 --> 54:52.700
Fear.

54:53.460 --> 54:55.760
Fear brings with it the thought of torment

54:55.760 --> 54:57.440
or the thought of punishment.

54:59.840 --> 55:01.080
It's opposite of faith.

55:01.540 --> 55:03.440
And so if that's what's happening

55:03.440 --> 55:05.500
and yet he's telling us

55:06.240 --> 55:07.680
that we're going to be

55:07.680 --> 55:09.840
far from even the thought of oppression.

55:11.080 --> 55:13.440
Don't even try to weigh me down with stupid thoughts.

55:14.520 --> 55:15.500
I don't care.

55:15.900 --> 55:17.280
I mean you can get to that point.

55:18.600 --> 55:18.960
Huh?

55:19.880 --> 55:22.080
See, way over here in our world system

55:22.080 --> 55:23.220
they just called it triggered now

55:23.220 --> 55:24.780
before we had different names for it.

55:24.840 --> 55:27.040
But over here if you're triggered, what does trigger mean?

55:27.480 --> 55:29.200
Oh my goodness, you brought up the very thing

55:29.200 --> 55:30.860
that I've been stuffing and I've been in denial

55:30.860 --> 55:33.180
and trying to disassociate from.

55:33.320 --> 55:35.160
And now there it is. It's so real I'm reliving it

55:35.160 --> 55:36.780
because I never brought closure to it. Ah!

55:37.680 --> 55:38.840
Why did you do that to me?

55:40.020 --> 55:41.780
That's what we do, right?

55:43.480 --> 55:44.580
Oppression does that.

55:44.680 --> 55:45.440
That's how it works.

55:45.620 --> 55:47.960
And it releases the ability like you're freaking out.

55:47.960 --> 55:49.620
Here comes the spirit of oppression.

55:49.800 --> 55:52.360
It goes, let me make this really weighty and heavy on you.

55:52.500 --> 55:54.320
Let me push your shoulders down.

55:55.560 --> 55:58.440
Push you down so far you can't even lift your head up

55:58.440 --> 55:59.900
and see where your help comes from.

56:00.920 --> 56:01.840
That's what it does.

56:02.660 --> 56:03.600
Anybody been through that?

56:04.720 --> 56:04.940
Yeah.

56:05.660 --> 56:08.260
That's all part of going through the spiritual growth.

56:08.480 --> 56:11.180
It's like, I would like to give a list

56:11.180 --> 56:13.240
that Lord would give us

56:13.240 --> 56:15.120
and be like, oh here's the chapter where it's like

56:15.120 --> 56:17.460
and then you come to word of life and we rejoice.

56:18.720 --> 56:21.640
And then after that you're put in a position of ministry

56:21.640 --> 56:23.780
and everything goes wonderful.

56:24.280 --> 56:25.960
All of the people praise you.

56:27.120 --> 56:29.380
There are no chapters like this is the chapter

56:29.380 --> 56:31.380
that it's like, okay that hurt.

56:31.680 --> 56:33.260
All right, okay, yeah, I got to adjust myself.

56:33.600 --> 56:34.660
Oh, that hurt again.

56:35.100 --> 56:36.180
All right, but here's the promise.

56:37.280 --> 56:38.860
This will walk you through

56:38.860 --> 56:41.120
what you're going through right now.

56:41.700 --> 56:42.180
Yeah.

56:43.200 --> 56:44.340
By you adjusting,

56:45.160 --> 56:46.740
you might have to just go back to verse one

56:46.740 --> 56:48.020
and start singing, oh Baron one.

56:49.100 --> 56:50.060
Can't seem to produce

56:50.060 --> 56:52.240
is start singing what he said over you.

56:54.000 --> 56:54.780
Start singing

56:54.780 --> 56:55.540
and rejoicing.

56:57.080 --> 56:58.580
Anyways, he's going to establish this

56:58.580 --> 57:01.220
in righteousness and right after that verse 15

57:01.220 --> 57:02.760
Behold, they may gather together

57:02.760 --> 57:04.540
and stir up stride. People are going to try to come

57:04.540 --> 57:06.560
against you and talk to Shemaak.

57:08.220 --> 57:08.900
They do it.

57:09.600 --> 57:10.480
It's been going on for years.

57:10.480 --> 57:12.940
I had someone again tell me, did you know so and so said?

57:13.680 --> 57:13.980
And I'm like,

57:14.780 --> 57:16.740
yeah, add them to the pile.

57:17.480 --> 57:18.620
I don't have time

57:18.620 --> 57:20.400
for this. It's

57:20.400 --> 57:22.460
supposed to suck you out. It's supposed to be

57:22.460 --> 57:24.500
like you're supposed to run off and go, I have to solve

57:24.500 --> 57:26.960
this major thing. They hurt my feelings.

57:27.180 --> 57:28.540
Well, now you're not working on the thing you're

57:28.540 --> 57:29.340
supposed to be working on.

57:30.240 --> 57:31.380
I got to work on the tent.

57:32.720 --> 57:34.820
Whatever my assignment is, this thing's got to get big.

57:34.960 --> 57:36.100
I actually don't have time.

57:37.360 --> 57:38.520
Now, if he signs me to go

57:38.520 --> 57:40.960
settle something, I'll settle something, but he's going to be short.

57:41.520 --> 57:42.560
We're not dragging this thing out

57:42.560 --> 57:43.120
for weeks.

57:43.940 --> 57:46.640
If the heart is right in the person,

57:46.760 --> 57:48.040
the things will go a certain way.

57:48.120 --> 57:50.320
And if they're wrong, it goes another way.

57:51.840 --> 57:53.060
Boundaries are definitely there.

57:53.720 --> 57:54.700
And so then we

57:54.700 --> 57:56.500
we know that he's going to take care of it,

57:56.500 --> 57:58.020
but it's all a part of it.

57:58.160 --> 58:00.220
Don't think it's not going to happen to you.

58:00.280 --> 58:01.200
I don't care if it's your grandma

58:01.880 --> 58:03.260
suddenly trying to stir up strife.

58:03.660 --> 58:05.660
Because the spirit of strife,

58:05.660 --> 58:06.840
the word says,

58:07.040 --> 58:08.620
where there is strife, there dwelleth

58:08.620 --> 58:11.520
every evil and wicked thing.

58:12.520 --> 58:13.840
That's the whole purpose for it.

58:13.940 --> 58:14.740
Like, let's get it going.

58:15.460 --> 58:17.400
Let's rock this thing. Let's take this person off.

58:17.480 --> 58:19.040
Let's bring up their past or whatever.

58:19.580 --> 58:20.520
But behold, verse 16,

58:20.640 --> 58:22.700
I have created the smith who blows on the fire

58:22.700 --> 58:24.160
and the coals and who produces

58:24.160 --> 58:26.320
a weapon for its purpose.

58:26.480 --> 58:28.900
And I have created the devastator to destroy.

58:29.220 --> 58:31.760
But no weapon that is formed against you

58:31.760 --> 58:33.300
shall prosper and every tongue

58:33.300 --> 58:34.900
that shall rise against you in judgment.

58:35.240 --> 58:36.860
You shall show to be in the wrong.

58:37.080 --> 58:39.200
This peace, righteousness, security,

58:39.520 --> 58:41.000
triumph over opposition

58:41.000 --> 58:43.060
is the heritage of the servants of the Lord.

58:44.320 --> 58:45.680
Those in whom the ideal

58:45.680 --> 58:47.640
servant of the Lord is reproduced.

58:48.080 --> 58:49.520
This is the righteousness

58:49.520 --> 58:51.540
and vindication which they obtain

58:51.540 --> 58:53.320
from me. This is that

58:53.320 --> 58:55.440
which I impart to them as their justification,

58:55.800 --> 58:57.240
says the Lord. Justification

58:57.240 --> 58:58.620
is justify, which means

58:58.620 --> 59:00.240
just as if you've never sent.

59:00.240 --> 59:01.520
It will move you to a spot

59:01.520 --> 59:03.080
or just as if you've never sent.

59:04.940 --> 59:07.320
Now, this is one of those verses, verse 17.

59:08.080 --> 59:09.460
How many times is a Christian

59:09.460 --> 59:11.440
or in groups, per groups or whatever we hear

59:11.440 --> 59:13.520
but no weapon formed against us

59:13.520 --> 59:15.920
is going to prosper. It is one of those verses

59:15.920 --> 59:16.520
we pull out.

59:18.040 --> 59:20.460
But in the conversation of this,

59:21.820 --> 59:23.800
have you gone through all the first verses

59:24.320 --> 59:25.600
before you claim that verse?

59:26.900 --> 59:28.060
Did you deal

59:28.060 --> 59:29.720
with the fact, do you feel barren?

59:30.180 --> 59:31.980
Did you deal with the fact of your past

59:31.980 --> 59:33.100
shaming you

59:33.100 --> 59:35.760
and oppression trying to get on you

59:35.760 --> 59:37.980
and all those, did you go through the war

59:37.980 --> 59:38.780
it took

59:39.980 --> 59:41.880
to get to the point that you can say

59:41.880 --> 59:43.940
you know what, no weapon formed against me is going to prosper.

59:46.520 --> 59:48.080
You can't just pull verses

59:50.160 --> 59:51.560
and blab and grab it.

59:53.860 --> 59:56.000
You have to come to a point

59:56.000 --> 59:57.980
where you are looking like, well what did they have to do

59:57.980 --> 01:00:00.060
to get to this, but no weapon

01:00:00.060 --> 01:00:01.840
that is formed against you shall prosper

01:00:01.840 --> 01:00:03.660
and every tongue that shall rise against you

01:00:03.660 --> 01:00:05.220
in judgment you shall

01:00:05.720 --> 01:00:08.300
show to be in the wrong. Now, here is the thing

01:00:09.100 --> 01:00:10.140
you can be

01:00:10.140 --> 01:00:12.160
onto that part of the scripture

01:00:12.160 --> 01:00:14.140
while you are still cleaning up the other stuff.

01:00:16.460 --> 01:00:17.960
Anybody know what I am talking about?

01:00:18.380 --> 01:00:19.960
You are like, is this end here?

01:00:20.120 --> 01:00:21.440
I am trying to deal with this

01:00:21.440 --> 01:00:24.100
and now grandma wants to fight and there is this over here

01:00:24.100 --> 01:00:25.400
and so and so accuse me of that.

01:00:25.780 --> 01:00:27.380
I am just trying to get to the point

01:00:27.380 --> 01:00:29.220
where the no weapon thing happens.

01:00:30.100 --> 01:00:32.080
Well, he will protect you

01:00:32.080 --> 01:00:34.640
if he sees you are going through these steps.

01:00:35.460 --> 01:00:36.100
But if we are not

01:00:36.100 --> 01:00:38.320
going through the steps and you come here for prayer

01:00:38.320 --> 01:00:40.280
I am just going to be blunt about it.

01:00:40.540 --> 01:00:42.260
You come here and you say, Pastor Mary pray for me

01:00:42.260 --> 01:00:44.220
I got stuff going on and this is horrible

01:00:44.220 --> 01:00:45.760
what I am going through and it is horrible.

01:00:45.920 --> 01:00:47.440
You tell me and I say, yeah, okay.

01:00:48.120 --> 01:00:50.420
And then I am like, but suddenly I am just going to pull you into

01:00:50.420 --> 01:00:51.920
no weapon formed against you

01:00:51.920 --> 01:00:52.680
and you will show prosper.

01:00:54.520 --> 01:00:54.860
No.

01:00:55.260 --> 01:00:56.300
You have to spiritually grow.

01:00:57.060 --> 01:00:59.080
Now he might get you to a safe place

01:00:59.080 --> 01:01:00.480
like if you are drowning he might pull you out

01:01:00.480 --> 01:01:02.300
and just put you here and be like, okay, breathe.

01:01:03.120 --> 01:01:03.820
Now you got to grow.

01:01:06.100 --> 01:01:07.140
Now you have to grow.

01:01:07.920 --> 01:01:08.160
Amen.

01:01:09.860 --> 01:01:11.680
It is weird in this world

01:01:11.680 --> 01:01:13.440
if you get an operation and you are cut open

01:01:13.440 --> 01:01:14.860
or whatever they put you back together

01:01:14.860 --> 01:01:16.180
you think, I will just be able to go home.

01:01:16.680 --> 01:01:17.940
No, now you first have to heal.

01:01:17.940 --> 01:01:19.440
There is always a thing

01:01:20.520 --> 01:01:21.620
that you go through

01:01:21.620 --> 01:01:23.200
to get to that next thing.

01:01:23.840 --> 01:01:24.040
Yeah.

01:01:25.480 --> 01:01:26.920
That is the anointing we carry.

01:01:27.760 --> 01:01:27.960
Yeah.

01:01:28.260 --> 01:01:30.620
So why it is important that we know this

01:01:30.620 --> 01:01:32.480
is that you will go through it in waves

01:01:33.060 --> 01:01:34.380
as the church grows.

01:01:34.560 --> 01:01:36.900
People will be coming in and putting a demand on the body

01:01:36.900 --> 01:01:38.400
and you are right in verse 7

01:01:38.400 --> 01:01:40.880
and you are like, my own personal life

01:01:40.880 --> 01:01:42.320
I am in verse 7, you know

01:01:42.320 --> 01:01:43.900
and you are going through it

01:01:43.900 --> 01:01:45.880
but we have to find a way in maturity

01:01:45.880 --> 01:01:47.240
to go through that

01:01:47.860 --> 01:01:49.140
and still do this.

01:01:49.940 --> 01:01:51.480
So it does not break us.

01:01:52.020 --> 01:01:54.000
So it is better to just yield

01:01:54.000 --> 01:01:55.480
to all of this

01:01:55.480 --> 01:01:57.500
as quickly as we can knowing

01:01:57.500 --> 01:01:58.640
there is a bigger thing coming.

01:02:01.800 --> 01:02:02.360
Amen.

01:02:04.300 --> 01:02:04.860
Hallelujah.

01:02:06.400 --> 01:02:08.340
Hallelujah. Thank you Lord Jesus.

01:02:09.520 --> 01:02:10.660
Thank you Lord God.

01:02:10.660 --> 01:02:12.960
So there is something

01:02:12.960 --> 01:02:14.360
about making disciples

01:02:14.360 --> 01:02:16.740
I want to go back and say

01:02:17.680 --> 01:02:18.720
if you hang

01:02:18.720 --> 01:02:20.300
with chapter 54

01:02:20.300 --> 01:02:21.960
it will make you into a disciple.

01:02:25.700 --> 01:02:27.280
If you allow yourself

01:02:27.280 --> 01:02:28.940
to hold on to what he said

01:02:28.940 --> 01:02:30.940
see when we claim a Scripture

01:02:30.940 --> 01:02:32.640
it is not just that

01:02:32.640 --> 01:02:34.240
we are saying something in the atmosphere now

01:02:34.240 --> 01:02:35.980
go get it, go get it Scripture

01:02:36.460 --> 01:02:38.800
make a way for me. No, we are actually

01:02:38.800 --> 01:02:40.620
pulling on the things

01:02:40.620 --> 01:02:41.740
from the heavenly realm

01:02:41.740 --> 01:02:44.620
and getting them to manifest in our life.

01:02:45.680 --> 01:02:46.580
We are also

01:02:46.580 --> 01:02:47.740
headed to where they are.

01:02:49.700 --> 01:02:50.760
We are headed to what

01:02:50.760 --> 01:02:52.600
that Scripture says that you are standing on

01:02:54.080 --> 01:02:55.620
which means we have to go low.

01:02:55.980 --> 01:02:56.620
We have to conform

01:02:56.620 --> 01:02:58.360
to his word. We have to be changed.

01:02:58.500 --> 01:02:59.600
We have to become disciples.

01:03:00.460 --> 01:03:01.720
And to make a disciple

01:03:01.720 --> 01:03:03.640
you are going to go through all of this.

01:03:05.300 --> 01:03:06.480
Now I hope

01:03:06.480 --> 01:03:08.220
you are not mad at me because

01:03:08.220 --> 01:03:09.780
I didn't come with something pretty.

01:03:11.260 --> 01:03:12.660
That is how you make a disciple.

01:03:13.200 --> 01:03:14.000
Have fun guys.

01:03:14.720 --> 01:03:16.400
Yay, another discipleship class.

01:03:16.700 --> 01:03:17.500
Let's go do that.

01:03:17.720 --> 01:03:19.180
They have classes for that.

01:03:19.600 --> 01:03:21.500
There is a difference between going through a class

01:03:21.500 --> 01:03:22.500
and actually living it.

01:03:23.180 --> 01:03:25.320
You can go study how the disciples did

01:03:25.320 --> 01:03:26.200
different things or whatever

01:03:26.200 --> 01:03:27.780
but then when you go to do it

01:03:27.780 --> 01:03:29.740
that is when it is first happening to you.

01:03:30.740 --> 01:03:31.200
Amen?

01:03:33.560 --> 01:03:35.260
We are making disciples.

01:03:36.620 --> 01:03:38.360
I would have to say

01:03:38.360 --> 01:03:40.020
in ancient days

01:03:40.020 --> 01:03:41.580
when they had their swords and everything

01:03:41.580 --> 01:03:42.480
they made disciples

01:03:42.480 --> 01:03:43.960
but some of those stories were

01:03:43.960 --> 01:03:46.480
all of you getting in the caravion

01:03:46.480 --> 01:03:47.700
you are going to be Christians now.

01:03:48.320 --> 01:03:49.040
And they made them.

01:03:49.680 --> 01:03:50.820
Or you got killed.

01:03:51.940 --> 01:03:54.760
That is not what he is talking about.

01:03:55.360 --> 01:03:57.120
That was an interpretation.

01:03:57.700 --> 01:03:58.240
That happened.

01:03:58.780 --> 01:04:01.640
So what to be made a disciple

01:04:01.640 --> 01:04:03.520
I actually can't make you

01:04:03.520 --> 01:04:05.260
do much of anything you don't want to do.

01:04:08.850 --> 01:04:09.690
So there has to be

01:04:09.690 --> 01:04:11.250
a desire in the person's heart

01:04:11.250 --> 01:04:13.650
to be like, here is what he said

01:04:13.650 --> 01:04:14.950
here is the verse he gave me

01:04:14.950 --> 01:04:16.290
here is the prophecy he gave me

01:04:16.290 --> 01:04:17.830
here is what he said for us to stand up

01:04:17.830 --> 01:04:20.530
I am way over here. How do I get there?

01:04:21.510 --> 01:04:22.510
Well on your way

01:04:22.510 --> 01:04:23.590
you are going to become a disciple

01:04:23.590 --> 01:04:24.490
just so you know.

01:04:25.870 --> 01:04:27.690
Because I am going to teach you how to follow

01:04:27.690 --> 01:04:30.330
and following will turn you into a disciple.

01:04:37.150 --> 01:04:38.430
God wants us to follow

01:04:38.430 --> 01:04:40.770
first before he brings in

01:04:40.770 --> 01:04:41.550
a whole bunch of babies.

01:04:42.710 --> 01:04:43.390
Let's stand.

01:04:45.490 --> 01:04:47.210
I think that is why he has gotten

01:04:48.050 --> 01:04:48.490
us

01:04:48.490 --> 01:04:50.590
you know if you just look at 2020

01:04:50.590 --> 01:04:52.030
was the year of the scene

01:04:52.750 --> 01:04:54.610
right? We all began to

01:04:54.610 --> 01:04:56.050
see stuff that was there the whole time

01:04:56.050 --> 01:04:58.090
that we weren't aware it was

01:04:58.090 --> 01:04:59.010
as big as what it was.

01:05:00.130 --> 01:05:01.650
By the time we got to 2022

01:05:01.650 --> 01:05:03.670
there was the great divide. Families

01:05:03.670 --> 01:05:06.090
divided over stupid stuff.

01:05:07.490 --> 01:05:08.470
And some families

01:05:08.470 --> 01:05:09.950
divided over righteousness and

01:05:09.950 --> 01:05:12.190
unrighteousness. And then there was

01:05:12.190 --> 01:05:14.110
the great shaking. That is what they

01:05:14.110 --> 01:05:15.870
call it right? And the sifting

01:05:16.810 --> 01:05:18.110
and now we have moved

01:05:18.110 --> 01:05:20.110
into the shift. Well I drive

01:05:20.110 --> 01:05:21.890
motorcycle and I do a lot of it by

01:05:21.890 --> 01:05:24.490
sound. I relate to vehicles

01:05:24.490 --> 01:05:26.170
and stuff by sound like it is a song.

01:05:26.750 --> 01:05:27.510
So if it is winding out

01:05:27.990 --> 01:05:29.130
you better shift. You know

01:05:30.490 --> 01:05:32.050
there you can hear when you are

01:05:32.050 --> 01:05:33.690
getting. I don't even have to look at this

01:05:33.690 --> 01:05:35.770
phenomenon. I can hear. It is time for

01:05:35.770 --> 01:05:37.790
me now to shift. Well

01:05:37.790 --> 01:05:38.930
the body of Christ

01:05:39.390 --> 01:05:41.730
is in a shift. But

01:05:41.730 --> 01:05:43.610
we are not only a shift now. See what

01:05:43.610 --> 01:05:45.490
happens when you do finally shift

01:05:45.490 --> 01:05:46.950
it gives you the ability to go

01:05:48.850 --> 01:05:49.650
faster. Doesn't

01:05:49.650 --> 01:05:52.170
it? You

01:05:52.170 --> 01:05:53.510
can't sit and grind the gears

01:05:53.510 --> 01:05:55.610
or waste the, you know. You

01:05:55.610 --> 01:05:57.470
have to shift when it is time. And you are

01:05:57.470 --> 01:06:00.610
like that means I am going to have to do this at a whole other level. Yes!

01:06:01.130 --> 01:06:02.770
That is what he is doing with

01:06:02.770 --> 01:06:04.630
our body right now. He is shifting

01:06:04.630 --> 01:06:06.470
us. Which means we are going to get more

01:06:06.470 --> 01:06:08.390
accomplished in a shorter period of time

01:06:09.950 --> 01:06:11.570
which requires more of us.

01:06:12.730 --> 01:06:14.010
The motor is running higher.

01:06:16.050 --> 01:06:16.530
Hallelujah.

01:06:17.570 --> 01:06:19.050
Father we just come before you

01:06:20.530 --> 01:06:21.750
and I ask you Lord

01:06:21.750 --> 01:06:23.390
God once again like we did in prayer

01:06:23.390 --> 01:06:25.870
if we have had prophecy spoke over us

01:06:25.870 --> 01:06:27.430
if we have had direction

01:06:27.430 --> 01:06:29.090
that you have given to us and we

01:06:29.090 --> 01:06:30.030
haven't done that thing

01:06:30.030 --> 01:06:32.190
Lord we are either missing it

01:06:32.190 --> 01:06:33.930
on the front end of the whole thing

01:06:33.930 --> 01:06:35.850
or we are definitely missing it now

01:06:35.850 --> 01:06:38.290
and I ask that you forgive us

01:06:38.290 --> 01:06:39.870
those watching online and those

01:06:39.870 --> 01:06:41.650
that are at the other churches

01:06:41.650 --> 01:06:43.990
and hear that you forgive us

01:06:43.990 --> 01:06:45.510
if we are missing it now.

01:06:45.790 --> 01:06:48.030
Bring us back around to the very

01:06:48.030 --> 01:06:49.930
thing you told us to do so that

01:06:49.930 --> 01:06:51.890
we will be obedient to that first.

01:06:53.970 --> 01:06:55.970
Bring it back around Lord God

01:06:55.970 --> 01:06:58.490
remind us, convict us

01:06:58.490 --> 01:06:59.530
bring about change.

01:07:00.670 --> 01:07:02.370
I also ask Lord revelation

01:07:02.370 --> 01:07:04.450
knowledge would come out of

01:07:04.450 --> 01:07:06.430
Isaiah 54 and we would

01:07:06.430 --> 01:07:07.810
be able to peg ourselves and know

01:07:07.810 --> 01:07:09.850
oh that is where I am at and this is what I need to do.

01:07:10.450 --> 01:07:12.630
This is what I need to do. You are not getting out of it

01:07:12.630 --> 01:07:14.530
you are not, don't pray those prayers

01:07:14.530 --> 01:07:15.730
where you try to get out of it.

01:07:15.990 --> 01:07:17.790
A disciple is a disciple because

01:07:17.790 --> 01:07:18.830
they are a disciplined one.

01:07:19.950 --> 01:07:22.470
Go through it, don't try to go around it.

01:07:23.410 --> 01:07:24.470
Whatever you got to do

01:07:24.470 --> 01:07:26.450
to go through it, don't try

01:07:26.450 --> 01:07:27.210
to go around it.

01:07:28.390 --> 01:07:30.430
The church will be healthy, you will be

01:07:30.430 --> 01:07:32.370
healthier for it and you will come to

01:07:32.370 --> 01:07:34.430
a place of change where you

01:07:34.430 --> 01:07:36.450
can house the anointing in a whole different way.

01:07:37.410 --> 01:07:37.810
Hallelujah.

01:07:39.110 --> 01:07:40.150
Thank you Lord God.

01:07:41.430 --> 01:07:42.510
Thank you Lord

01:07:42.510 --> 01:07:44.470
for the change that

01:07:44.470 --> 01:07:45.890
we go home and suddenly

01:07:46.450 --> 01:07:48.530
things begin to open up.

01:07:49.010 --> 01:07:50.650
As we believe for open heavens

01:07:50.650 --> 01:07:52.470
and what they are bringing in for information

01:07:52.470 --> 01:07:54.590
we will already be ahead

01:07:54.590 --> 01:07:56.790
of the game. You are going to share

01:07:56.790 --> 01:07:58.670
things with us before we ever

01:07:58.670 --> 01:08:00.730
get there and they will be coming

01:08:00.730 --> 01:08:02.730
in with confirmation. Thank you

01:08:02.730 --> 01:08:04.430
Lord that you are bringing us to that

01:08:04.430 --> 01:08:05.810
place of Christianity

01:08:06.630 --> 01:08:07.970
where we know ahead of time.

01:08:09.690 --> 01:08:10.770
Draw us to your

01:08:10.770 --> 01:08:12.850
spirit in Jesus' name.

01:08:14.010 --> 01:08:14.150
Amen.

01:08:18.390 --> 01:08:19.330
Amen. You may

01:08:19.330 --> 01:08:20.890
be seated. We will get to the announcements

01:08:20.890 --> 01:08:23.430
here in a couple of minutes. I just want to add a couple of things.

01:08:24.130 --> 01:08:25.310
This chapter was given

01:08:25.310 --> 01:08:27.130
to Word of Life in

01:08:27.130 --> 01:08:29.590
1986. That is 39 years

01:08:29.590 --> 01:08:31.470
ago. Coming up in 40 this coming year.

01:08:34.530 --> 01:08:35.630
It is a pattern

01:08:35.630 --> 01:08:36.990
of how this church grows

01:08:36.990 --> 01:08:38.190
and expands.

01:08:39.370 --> 01:08:40.770
You can't get away from it

01:08:40.770 --> 01:08:42.670
because it wasn't our idea. It was God's idea.

01:08:43.270 --> 01:08:44.630
Someone who had been sent

01:08:44.630 --> 01:08:46.050
to the church said

01:08:46.050 --> 01:08:47.850
the Lord said this is for the church

01:08:47.850 --> 01:08:49.810
and you hear that kind of stuff

01:08:49.810 --> 01:08:51.230
and you go meh whatever.

01:08:51.930 --> 01:08:53.070
But I thought I better read it

01:08:53.070 --> 01:08:55.170
and then when I read it, it came to life.

01:08:56.630 --> 01:08:57.110
So

01:08:57.110 --> 01:08:58.950
this is a pattern. So I want to point

01:08:58.950 --> 01:09:00.250
something out. Verse 11

01:09:01.150 --> 01:09:02.930
12. It starts verse 11

01:09:03.930 --> 01:09:05.190
how he is going to create

01:09:05.190 --> 01:09:07.130
this church with the stones.

01:09:07.450 --> 01:09:09.050
The stones are people. We know

01:09:09.050 --> 01:09:10.950
that from the book of Revelation

01:09:10.950 --> 01:09:12.630
and the book of Peter. Living stones.

01:09:12.950 --> 01:09:13.390
That is people.

01:09:14.910 --> 01:09:16.690
And he lays out

01:09:16.690 --> 01:09:18.690
all these beautiful stones. Starts

01:09:18.690 --> 01:09:20.510
verse 11, verse 12.

01:09:20.510 --> 01:09:22.130
I will make your windows and pinnacles

01:09:22.130 --> 01:09:24.290
of sparkling, agates and rubies.

01:09:24.470 --> 01:09:25.930
All expensive, beautiful stuff.

01:09:26.070 --> 01:09:28.230
So the people will be made

01:09:28.230 --> 01:09:30.070
into beautiful things

01:09:31.210 --> 01:09:32.310
in this church.

01:09:32.950 --> 01:09:34.610
That wasn't our idea. That was

01:09:34.610 --> 01:09:35.210
his idea.

01:09:37.410 --> 01:09:37.970
So

01:09:38.410 --> 01:09:40.030
to come here is

01:09:40.030 --> 01:09:41.790
your life is going to have to change

01:09:41.790 --> 01:09:42.870
into something beautiful.

01:09:44.130 --> 01:09:45.750
To get that to happen

01:09:46.270 --> 01:09:48.310
always takes a lot of pain

01:09:48.310 --> 01:09:48.630
and effort.

01:09:50.290 --> 01:09:51.610
It just doesn't happen by itself.

01:09:53.590 --> 01:09:54.150
Example

01:09:54.150 --> 01:09:55.630
verse 12

01:09:56.310 --> 01:09:58.070
in the Amplified it says this

01:09:58.070 --> 01:09:59.270
and it's correct.

01:10:00.110 --> 01:10:02.510
Let me recommend, make a recommendation.

01:10:02.930 --> 01:10:03.510
This is number

01:10:04.210 --> 01:10:06.130
message 3 and 4 in the Covenant

01:10:06.130 --> 01:10:08.110
Partner Series. So before you become

01:10:08.110 --> 01:10:10.210
a Covenant Partner you have to listen to these

01:10:10.210 --> 01:10:12.070
two messages. Message 3

01:10:12.070 --> 01:10:13.890
and 4 in that series because this is

01:10:13.890 --> 01:10:15.150
core to our vision.

01:10:15.150 --> 01:10:17.610
So I really recommend go

01:10:17.610 --> 01:10:18.070
online.

01:10:18.850 --> 01:10:21.510
Go to our messages full catalog page.

01:10:21.790 --> 01:10:23.370
It'll say interested in becoming

01:10:23.370 --> 01:10:24.950
Covenant Partner. Click here.

01:10:25.650 --> 01:10:27.310
Click on that. It will take

01:10:27.310 --> 01:10:28.970
you to a whole group of messages.

01:10:29.370 --> 01:10:30.830
Number 3 and 4 are

01:10:30.830 --> 01:10:33.170
Isaiah 54 because this is the foundation

01:10:33.170 --> 01:10:34.470
of our vision.

01:10:35.050 --> 01:10:37.330
It will explain all this word

01:10:37.330 --> 01:10:39.090
by word because what the Lord had me do

01:10:39.090 --> 01:10:40.610
is do a word study on it.

01:10:40.830 --> 01:10:43.150
Take apart every word

01:10:43.150 --> 01:10:44.750
every phrase.

01:10:45.210 --> 01:10:47.130
So those two messages do that

01:10:47.130 --> 01:10:48.830
but I want to point this out to you.

01:10:49.810 --> 01:10:50.810
Verse 12

01:10:50.810 --> 01:10:52.610
I'm going to make you out of all these beautiful

01:10:52.610 --> 01:10:54.350
make you into all these beautiful

01:10:55.410 --> 01:10:57.170
people in this church

01:10:57.170 --> 01:10:58.490
agates, rubies

01:10:59.150 --> 01:11:00.770
sparkling things and your

01:11:00.770 --> 01:11:03.190
gates of shining carbuncles

01:11:04.410 --> 01:11:06.790
and IV says sparkling jewels.

01:11:07.490 --> 01:11:08.650
You know what a carbuncle is?

01:11:11.050 --> 01:11:12.930
Carbuncle is a chunk of coal.

01:11:15.710 --> 01:11:17.710
Chunks of coal don't sparkle.

01:11:17.710 --> 01:11:17.810
Chunks of coal don't sparkle.

01:11:20.870 --> 01:11:21.970
Any of you know anything

01:11:21.970 --> 01:11:23.150
about chunks of coal?

01:11:23.390 --> 01:11:24.150
It don't sparkle.

01:11:26.370 --> 01:11:27.510
I'm going to make you

01:11:27.510 --> 01:11:28.050
I'm going to make you

01:11:29.090 --> 01:11:31.070
to become shining

01:11:31.070 --> 01:11:32.590
chunks of coal.

01:11:33.850 --> 01:11:34.770
Okay, so now this might be

01:11:34.770 --> 01:11:35.830
a revelation to some of you.

01:11:35.830 --> 01:11:37.350
You might just be a reminder.

01:11:38.410 --> 01:11:40.290
What are diamonds made out of?

01:11:42.910 --> 01:11:45.050
And how does a chunk of coal

01:11:45.830 --> 01:11:46.990
turn into a diamond?

01:11:49.230 --> 01:11:49.790
Pressure

01:11:49.790 --> 01:11:50.730
and heat.

01:11:55.130 --> 01:11:57.210
You say I'm just a dirty filthy

01:11:57.210 --> 01:11:58.730
mess. That's alright. God's going to

01:11:58.730 --> 01:12:00.670
put pressure on you. He's going to

01:12:00.670 --> 01:12:01.850
put heat on you.

01:12:02.370 --> 01:12:04.310
You're going to say why in the

01:12:04.830 --> 01:12:06.570
world every time I go to

01:12:06.570 --> 01:12:08.450
that church they just grind

01:12:08.450 --> 01:12:10.330
on me and it's like the Holy

01:12:10.330 --> 01:12:12.310
Spirit's just poking at me.

01:12:13.090 --> 01:12:14.530
Why is he doing this?

01:12:14.650 --> 01:12:16.710
Because he's going to turn you into a diamond.

01:12:19.330 --> 01:12:20.590
He's going to turn you

01:12:20.590 --> 01:12:21.630
into a diamond.

01:12:24.530 --> 01:12:26.470
All your spiritual, all your

01:12:26.470 --> 01:12:27.850
children will be disciples

01:12:28.510 --> 01:12:30.030
taught by the Lord and obedient.

01:12:30.450 --> 01:12:31.370
How does that happen?

01:12:31.750 --> 01:12:32.710
Through repentance.

01:12:33.790 --> 01:12:35.490
You don't become a disciple

01:12:35.490 --> 01:12:37.650
until you repent of some

01:12:37.650 --> 01:12:38.850
things and let them put the pressure

01:12:38.850 --> 01:12:40.590
and the heat on and change you

01:12:40.590 --> 01:12:41.630
into something nice.

01:12:42.270 --> 01:12:44.270
You will establish yourself in

01:12:44.270 --> 01:12:45.870
righteousness. Verse 14.

01:12:46.430 --> 01:12:48.470
Let me just say one thing here

01:12:48.470 --> 01:12:50.210
in regard to that because my mind was

01:12:50.210 --> 01:12:52.010
floating numerous different

01:12:52.010 --> 01:12:53.510
directions as she was speaking

01:12:54.410 --> 01:12:56.090
of things the Lord has said and done

01:12:56.090 --> 01:12:56.630
over the years.

01:12:58.970 --> 01:13:00.490
At the heart of this church

01:13:00.490 --> 01:13:01.890
has always been repentance.

01:13:02.510 --> 01:13:02.830
Always.

01:13:05.170 --> 01:13:06.530
So if you're going to stick

01:13:06.530 --> 01:13:08.550
with us, if you're going to watch us grow

01:13:08.550 --> 01:13:10.410
if you're going to be part of this, he's going to lead

01:13:10.410 --> 01:13:12.470
you into repenting of a lot of stuff.

01:13:15.090 --> 01:13:16.030
Just the way it is.

01:13:17.050 --> 01:13:17.190
Okay?

01:13:18.990 --> 01:13:20.390
It was in Colorado. It was

01:13:20.390 --> 01:13:22.050
the beginning of August. I think it was August

01:13:23.010 --> 01:13:24.610
the first few days of August

01:13:25.090 --> 01:13:26.470
there was a Sunday. My mind

01:13:26.470 --> 01:13:28.330
says the fifth but I'm not sure it was the fifth

01:13:28.330 --> 01:13:29.770
of two thousand

01:13:30.250 --> 01:13:31.030
two thousand

01:13:33.090 --> 01:13:33.610
one

01:13:34.630 --> 01:13:35.150
maybe?

01:13:37.950 --> 01:13:40.070
And the Lord gave me a prophecy

01:13:40.070 --> 01:13:42.270
and I started prophesying and he

01:13:42.270 --> 01:13:44.130
said the future of this church has not

01:13:44.130 --> 01:13:46.350
been determined in this state, in this area

01:13:46.350 --> 01:13:46.670
yet.

01:13:47.450 --> 01:13:48.630
And I'm going what?

01:13:49.790 --> 01:13:52.410
When you prophesy you hear it coming out

01:13:52.410 --> 01:13:53.790
and you try to be obedient to that

01:13:53.790 --> 01:13:55.790
but in the background your mind is kind of going

01:13:55.790 --> 01:13:58.450
what the world is this about?

01:13:58.750 --> 01:13:59.570
You know, because you're thinking

01:13:59.570 --> 01:14:02.090
while your spirit's speaking.

01:14:02.810 --> 01:14:04.130
It says the future of this church

01:14:04.130 --> 01:14:05.730
has not been determined yet because

01:14:05.730 --> 01:14:08.130
and he was speaking about the Denver

01:14:08.130 --> 01:14:08.590
area.

01:14:09.630 --> 01:14:11.130
He said I despise

01:14:11.790 --> 01:14:13.030
what is in this area.

01:14:13.690 --> 01:14:15.670
It is wicked. It is evil.

01:14:16.170 --> 01:14:18.190
It is corrupt. It is filthy

01:14:18.190 --> 01:14:19.150
spiritually.

01:14:19.710 --> 01:14:21.470
And he said I'm going to prove it to you

01:14:21.470 --> 01:14:22.450
and I'm going

01:14:25.270 --> 01:14:26.130
I'm going

01:14:26.130 --> 01:14:26.610
I'm saying this

01:14:26.610 --> 01:14:28.510
and I'm going I have no idea

01:14:28.510 --> 01:14:29.630
where this is going

01:14:30.630 --> 01:14:32.330
and now he's going to prove it.

01:14:32.530 --> 01:14:34.430
And then he goes on and talks about

01:14:34.430 --> 01:14:36.990
how spiritually decrepit it is

01:14:36.990 --> 01:14:38.370
and how full of

01:14:38.370 --> 01:14:40.790
of demonology and witchcraft

01:14:40.790 --> 01:14:42.270
and the high places

01:14:42.270 --> 01:14:44.250
of the mountains from the planes going

01:14:44.250 --> 01:14:46.190
into the mountains. How that has been made

01:14:46.190 --> 01:14:47.830
a high place. Anton Leves

01:14:47.830 --> 01:14:50.150
wrote his Bible just up a little bit from

01:14:50.150 --> 01:14:51.930
Boulder. I mean

01:14:51.930 --> 01:14:53.130
the whole place

01:14:53.130 --> 01:14:55.730
and he just goes on describing maybe

01:14:55.730 --> 01:14:57.790
15-20 minutes how

01:14:57.790 --> 01:15:00.090
the whole area stinks

01:15:00.090 --> 01:15:02.450
and he loathes

01:15:02.450 --> 01:15:03.610
the spiritual

01:15:03.990 --> 01:15:05.030
atmosphere of the area.

01:15:06.710 --> 01:15:08.210
And he said in some of you

01:15:08.210 --> 01:15:09.930
the question and I'm going

01:15:09.930 --> 01:15:10.530
yeah that's me.

01:15:12.430 --> 01:15:13.970
I'm saying it and I'm going

01:15:13.970 --> 01:15:15.930
oh man he said I'm going to prove it

01:15:15.930 --> 01:15:17.810
to you that this

01:15:17.810 --> 01:15:19.790
place is decrepit and

01:15:19.790 --> 01:15:21.130
everything spiritually.

01:15:21.610 --> 01:15:23.370
I'm going to prove it to you and I'm going

01:15:24.310 --> 01:15:26.070
what is he going to say?

01:15:27.370 --> 01:15:29.850
And all of a sudden right there it was

01:15:29.850 --> 01:15:31.890
he asked this question. He said here's

01:15:31.890 --> 01:15:32.310
the proof.

01:15:33.810 --> 01:15:35.530
Where is the repentance?

01:15:42.200 --> 01:15:44.340
If we can't repent

01:15:45.960 --> 01:15:47.480
we are loathsome

01:15:47.480 --> 01:15:48.000
to God.

01:15:50.460 --> 01:15:51.920
And he despises

01:15:51.920 --> 01:15:53.880
what sin has done

01:15:53.880 --> 01:15:55.260
when we can't repent.

01:15:57.120 --> 01:15:59.320
So don't be surprised

01:16:01.260 --> 01:16:03.580
when a lot of repentance kind of things

01:16:03.580 --> 01:16:04.120
happen.

01:16:05.620 --> 01:16:06.800
Because it's who we are.

01:16:08.180 --> 01:16:09.400
It's just who we are.

01:16:11.620 --> 01:16:13.320
So I don't know what's coming. I've got

01:16:13.320 --> 01:16:15.400
some plans for the coming Sundays. We're going to talk

01:16:15.400 --> 01:16:16.440
about prayer and fasting.

01:16:17.220 --> 01:16:18.320
Sunday maybe too.

01:16:19.080 --> 01:16:21.700
We're getting a run towards open heavens.

01:16:22.020 --> 01:16:23.440
And we're going to encourage all of you

01:16:23.440 --> 01:16:24.260
to pray and fast.

01:16:24.960 --> 01:16:26.860
So we're going to talk about it. Explain it.

01:16:26.960 --> 01:16:27.560
Describe it.

01:16:28.700 --> 01:16:30.020
Teach on it and so forth.

01:16:30.300 --> 01:16:32.680
So we'll just see how this all plays out

01:16:34.740 --> 01:16:35.940
and go there.

01:16:36.140 --> 01:16:38.620
But we're beginning to gear up

01:16:38.620 --> 01:16:40.100
towards something that

01:16:41.200 --> 01:16:43.140
I had someone come up to me this morning

01:16:43.140 --> 01:16:44.980
and say, I don't know what's going on,

01:16:45.140 --> 01:16:46.940
but open heavens this year is going to be

01:16:46.940 --> 01:16:49.180
really important to where this church

01:16:49.180 --> 01:16:49.880
is supposed to go.

01:16:51.320 --> 01:16:53.100
So I'm kind of in the fear

01:16:53.100 --> 01:16:55.400
of the Lord going, oh God, help us

01:16:55.400 --> 01:16:55.760
get there.

01:16:57.660 --> 01:16:59.180
So Father, we thank you

01:16:59.820 --> 01:17:01.260
for the word that was spoken

01:17:01.260 --> 01:17:01.840
this morning.

01:17:02.800 --> 01:17:04.920
We pray it's a prime to the pump

01:17:06.640 --> 01:17:07.420
in us.

01:17:09.800 --> 01:17:10.900
And Lord, I call

01:17:10.900 --> 01:17:12.840
that for the whole month

01:17:12.840 --> 01:17:13.580
of December,

01:17:14.480 --> 01:17:17.080
we don't live like we live November, October

01:17:17.080 --> 01:17:17.780
and September.

01:17:19.080 --> 01:17:20.900
But that there is a focus

01:17:20.900 --> 01:17:22.320
that comes on us.

01:17:23.340 --> 01:17:24.680
A hunger and a desire

01:17:24.680 --> 01:17:26.060
to see you.

01:17:26.680 --> 01:17:29.020
To see you in a greater way, to see you

01:17:29.020 --> 01:17:30.020
in a different way.

01:17:31.560 --> 01:17:32.740
Do that in us.

01:17:32.900 --> 01:17:34.740
We pray in Jesus' name.
