00:00.460 --> 00:11.620
So, we're going to talk about something really exciting tonight, and angels are the after effect of it.

00:13.000 --> 00:16.220
They work with it, but they're the after effect of it.

00:16.940 --> 00:23.480
Remember, I'll just briefly review. This is message number four in a little series here on the word in the supernatural.

00:25.120 --> 00:28.860
When we moved up here, God said, this is what I want you to build the church on up here.

00:28.860 --> 00:30.100
The word in the supernatural.

00:31.160 --> 00:34.980
The first message, we talked about what we believe supernatural is according to Scripture.

00:36.220 --> 00:45.640
We gave some examples of things, gave one example of a vision that a man had concerning our property and the modular and angels there and so forth.

00:48.980 --> 00:58.200
And then we had the second message was basically examples and answering questions that had come in and that pop up around this.

00:59.420 --> 01:12.720
And then last Sunday, we talked a little more about the supernatural and watched some videos and things like that to kind of say, here's how it really got rolling here. Here's what happened.

01:15.080 --> 01:23.600
Side thought, we have three or four series. Well, there's one individual and there's two or three series on angels.

01:23.780 --> 01:33.180
If you go to the main message tab on our website and in the search bar, you just put in angels, it'll bring them up.

01:33.540 --> 01:40.680
So this is a repeat of some of the things you've heard me say before, and then we're going to talk about some things you haven't heard.

01:41.760 --> 01:43.540
We'll have some others join in.

01:44.760 --> 01:48.860
But before we can talk about angels, we have to talk about open heavens.

01:49.460 --> 01:53.000
So guys, if you could do me a favor and hand these out.

01:53.160 --> 01:58.940
I think we've got enough one per family unit of your single. You're considered a family unit.

02:01.600 --> 02:06.280
So we've got Abbey made 50 of them. I think we've got enough.

02:10.540 --> 02:16.220
Whenever you have an opens heavens setting in scripture, you have angels active.

02:16.500 --> 02:22.320
And of course we talked already about how that with the human race, God uses angels a lot.

02:23.020 --> 02:26.360
Believers have their own angels that are assigned to them.

02:28.280 --> 02:36.000
I don't know how far that goes into the unbeliever realm, but I know for believers scripture says we have that.

02:37.140 --> 02:44.800
But what we're going to talk about tonight, there is a huge amount of angelic activity that takes place in this room.

02:45.880 --> 02:52.000
I haven't seen so much elsewhere, but then I don't spend enough time in the rest of the building when things are going on.

02:52.080 --> 02:54.360
So I don't have any input there.

02:55.160 --> 02:58.680
But the reason it's here is because of the open heavens.

02:59.680 --> 03:04.800
So I want to go over just briefly this booklet.

03:05.000 --> 03:10.580
This was the one that I was referring to that I wrote for 2009, the open heaven meetings then.

03:12.360 --> 03:17.100
And there's a few things in here that will be helpful for us to understand what we're talking about tonight.

03:17.660 --> 03:20.420
So if you go to page one, top of it says open heavens.

03:23.080 --> 03:26.160
Roman numeral one a little over halfway down. What is an open heaven?

03:27.500 --> 03:33.580
An open heaven is when God is spiritually unrestricted in his ability to move and work in our lives.

03:36.360 --> 03:40.620
His blessing flows freely. The land is free from curse.

03:41.040 --> 03:44.260
Things of the spirit are easily brought into the physical realm.

03:45.560 --> 03:46.760
What is a closed heaven?

03:47.220 --> 03:52.880
A closed heaven is when God is spiritually restricted in his ability to move and work in our lives.

03:52.880 --> 03:57.540
Curses develop. The land and heavens become hard and unresponsive.

03:58.800 --> 04:01.000
Prosperity in all areas of our life, wanes.

04:01.840 --> 04:05.660
And demonic activity becomes strong and seemingly unbeatable.

04:06.240 --> 04:13.220
So when we're talking about open heaven, we're basically talking about an unrestricted access to God.

04:14.180 --> 04:16.280
Jump over to page five.

04:17.820 --> 04:19.720
Actually, we'll start at page four.

04:22.880 --> 04:25.240
What causes the heavens to be open or closed?

04:26.800 --> 04:30.920
Open heavens come from, and I have a number of things listed there.

04:31.700 --> 04:36.320
Number one, covenant plays a huge role in opening the heavens spiritually.

04:39.280 --> 04:47.140
Through the covenant of Jesus, we have the right to unrestricted access to the kingdom.

04:49.200 --> 04:52.600
That has been bought for us. That's one of our rights.

04:53.340 --> 04:59.340
And that's why Jesus in the Lord's Prayer said, we need to just, it's open, just call it down.

05:00.340 --> 05:03.820
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

05:04.860 --> 05:07.200
Covenants play a huge part of this.

05:08.080 --> 05:13.600
The one thing we have to remember is if we have ambassadors in a different country...

05:14.640 --> 05:17.860
Let's say we've got an ambassador to China.

05:19.460 --> 05:22.220
Who are they, what country are they a citizen of?

05:24.540 --> 05:28.760
United States. Whose rules do they live by?

05:30.460 --> 05:31.260
United States.

05:33.280 --> 05:36.500
They are exempt from any Chinese laws.

05:36.900 --> 05:42.460
Now it's good to not just go out there and thumb your nose at the rest of them and say,

05:42.460 --> 05:43.940
Na na na na, you can't touch me.

05:45.040 --> 05:52.840
But in reality, ambassador is exempt from that society and how that society runs.

05:53.740 --> 05:57.960
They run according to the U.S. society and their citizenship here.

05:58.980 --> 06:02.240
We are ambassadors of that kingdom here.

06:04.220 --> 06:08.060
We run by, our citizenship is in heaven, Scripture says.

06:08.540 --> 06:12.760
We run by the rules of that kingdom, not this one.

06:13.580 --> 06:17.540
And when we are transferred from the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of light,

06:19.460 --> 06:25.740
this kingdom of that, that rules and reigns in this earth too much of the time, the kingdom of darkness,

06:26.360 --> 06:28.880
it has no rights over us. We are exempt from it.

06:29.320 --> 06:32.560
It has no right to touch us. It has no right to mess with us.

06:33.180 --> 06:35.820
The only rights it will ever have is if we give it right.

06:37.420 --> 06:45.140
So that's why we walk circumspectly, how the King James says it, so that we don't give it right.

06:45.720 --> 06:52.560
Covenant plays a huge role. We have to know who we are in God to experience an open heaven.

06:54.040 --> 07:01.080
So Covenant plays a huge role. Number two on page five, faithfully obeying God is part of this.

07:01.080 --> 07:05.080
Number three, obeying God. And their Scripture is listed for that.

07:05.800 --> 07:10.040
Prayer and repentance, of course, that's what's needed. Number four, to be able to obey God.

07:10.460 --> 07:15.980
Number five, huge Scripture there that explains some things, humbling ourselves, praying, seeking God's face,

07:16.640 --> 07:19.100
turning from wickedness, you know, obeying God.

07:20.260 --> 07:23.320
Malachi three, number six, obedience to God.

07:24.760 --> 07:30.440
Well, now surprise, surprise, letter B on page five, closed heavens come from the opposite.

07:31.480 --> 07:37.560
Not listening to God, turning away from God, not obeying God. Number four, sinning against God.

07:38.120 --> 07:40.380
Number five, being a rebellious unbeliever.

07:41.820 --> 07:49.300
So just because we have something doesn't mean we can't lose it.

07:51.220 --> 07:55.400
The way we establish it is the way we can lose it.

07:56.740 --> 08:00.760
Works same way. Just want you to understand that will play in a little bit later.

08:01.740 --> 08:06.260
Page number 12, angels in open heavens.

08:07.780 --> 08:11.740
Scripturally, there's a lot of angelic activity that takes place in open heaven situations.

08:11.960 --> 08:15.940
Letter A in the Old Testament, specifically Genesis 28, Jacob's Ladder.

08:16.520 --> 08:21.320
We're going to refer to that more directly going through the PowerPoint, so I won't take much time here.

08:21.320 --> 08:25.440
But it is one of the big examples in the Old Testament of an open heaven.

08:25.940 --> 08:32.800
Letter B, New Testament, John chapter one, verse 50 and 51, if you drop to the last line in that paragraph.

08:33.500 --> 08:39.480
Jesus told Nathaniel that he would see an open heaven over Jesus with the angels ascending and descending on him.

08:40.600 --> 08:42.420
We don't know when that happened.

08:43.620 --> 08:47.580
There's no scriptural reference. Nathaniel wasn't on the Mount of Transfiguration.

08:47.580 --> 08:53.080
So I don't think he was referring to that time when everything opened up on the glory.

08:53.220 --> 09:00.020
The Lord got so bright and Jesus' clothes glistened and that was all an open heaven thing going on.

09:00.500 --> 09:10.940
So I don't know when Nathaniel sought, but Jesus had unrestricted access to the Father.

09:11.040 --> 09:12.620
He lived under an open heaven.

09:13.980 --> 09:18.120
Nothing ever closed over him and made it difficult for him.

09:18.400 --> 09:23.980
The only thing that made it difficult for him was his flesh, especially in the Garden of Gethsemane.

09:25.120 --> 09:28.080
When he thought, oh man, I just really don't want to do this.

09:29.600 --> 09:31.600
But it had nothing to do with the heavens.

09:32.680 --> 09:37.060
So you've got Old New Testament, it works together, page number 14.

09:40.000 --> 09:44.480
Roman numeral three at the bottom. Angels are to be highly active in the New Testament church.

09:45.980 --> 09:50.700
We're going to bring this up a little more again in the PowerPoint, but I just wanted to point it out here.

09:51.300 --> 09:55.920
In Hebrews 12-22, I'll give you the context in the PowerPoint. I just put the verse in here.

09:56.640 --> 10:01.320
The NIV says thousands upon thousands of angels in joyful assembly.

10:02.200 --> 10:05.420
The King James says an innumerable company of angels.

10:05.420 --> 10:11.760
The Amplified says to countless multitudes of angels in festal gathering.

10:12.640 --> 10:20.960
This is the three ways the different translations describe the angels that are gathered with the church of the firstborn, which is Jesus church.

10:22.020 --> 10:29.020
This is speaking of angels involvement and what God wants, how God wants angels involved in the New Testament church.

10:30.800 --> 10:38.020
Thousands upon thousands, innumerable company, multitudes gathered in festal gathering.

10:39.720 --> 10:43.640
So we'll hit that a little bit more, but I wanted to point it out and get you thinking about it a little bit.

10:44.080 --> 10:51.020
Now jump over to page 48. If any of you still have the original one, I edited this a bit.

10:51.180 --> 10:57.000
I did not say that on the title page, but I added some things.

10:57.000 --> 11:04.240
Starting at page 48, I added some things here. I ran across this. It's a few years back already.

11:04.880 --> 11:11.020
I don't remember if it was sent to me by someone or how I found it. I don't know who wrote it.

11:11.900 --> 11:13.520
But it's got some good points.

11:14.920 --> 11:16.960
What will sustain in open heaven?

11:19.640 --> 11:23.720
That is an important question because we have one here.

11:25.600 --> 11:28.180
We don't have to ask for one. We already have one.

11:29.420 --> 11:32.720
It's already established. We just need to sustain it.

11:35.380 --> 11:39.560
Intro, open heaven is not simply a sovereign act of God, which can happen,

11:40.300 --> 11:45.620
but is the expected result of the application of a specific biblical principle.

11:45.980 --> 11:48.260
And he refers to the one in 2 Chronicles 7.

11:49.060 --> 11:54.380
We are to stop waiting for the sudden leaves and begin aggressively to pursue his presence

11:54.380 --> 12:00.320
till we see the transformation of our church community nation and nation into a...

12:00.320 --> 12:03.260
and to have a global impact too.

12:04.700 --> 12:08.500
There is a wrong belief that God simply chooses a place.

12:08.700 --> 12:11.500
He will pour out his spirit and whamble.

12:12.260 --> 12:13.560
We get an open heaven.

12:13.560 --> 12:19.620
Number one down below. Some believe open heavens outpouring is simply a sovereign act of God.

12:20.060 --> 12:21.080
That is not scriptural.

12:22.860 --> 12:26.660
There are certain things that open the heavens and I gave them to you.

12:28.260 --> 12:32.520
Of course, covenant is huge in that. We have to know our covenant rights

12:33.600 --> 12:38.340
so that we can pursue what is ours by faith.

12:41.720 --> 12:48.260
Number two on page 49, you must get to the place where you don't care what it looks like, sounds like, or manifests like.

12:50.540 --> 12:57.160
That is probably the biggest hang-up for churches and why heavens won't open in churches.

12:59.420 --> 13:06.560
Because we want to make sure we have control of what this thing is going to come out like.

13:06.560 --> 13:08.460
And you can't do it.

13:09.640 --> 13:15.420
It's going to go where it wants to go and the only thing we can do is follow it by the spirit and steward it.

13:15.640 --> 13:17.720
If it gets off, bump it back on.

13:18.540 --> 13:24.280
But we can't start it or stop it or put limits on it.

13:24.420 --> 13:26.720
We'll do this, but we won't do that. Things like that.

13:27.820 --> 13:30.800
Number three, open heaven is the most delicate of things.

13:32.360 --> 13:35.620
It's very, very solid and powerful in one hand.

13:36.220 --> 13:40.300
But on the other hand, many greatly misunderstand the nature of an open heaven.

13:41.120 --> 13:43.880
Go to the paragraph below.

13:44.100 --> 13:47.280
Open heaven outpouring is simply the Holy Spirit coming closer to us.

13:47.960 --> 13:52.500
The closer he gets, the more of God is manifested and the more people are changed.

13:53.440 --> 13:58.380
However, the closer he gets, the easier it is to grieve him.

14:00.060 --> 14:02.980
To him who has been given much, much is required.

14:03.460 --> 14:04.840
Our God is a jealous God.

14:05.400 --> 14:08.380
He wants to be the total center of our attention.

14:09.380 --> 14:16.480
If we don't stay humble, hungry and broken, the Holy Spirit will withdraw and the open heavens will cease.

14:17.780 --> 14:19.140
That is absolutely true.

14:20.760 --> 14:23.820
There's a few more points here you can read through them. They're very good.

14:23.820 --> 14:31.560
I just wanted, you know, you can take this home. I think all of you can read and work your way through it.

14:33.920 --> 14:43.180
The basic thing I want you to remember is as we get a deeper understanding of covenant and who God is to us and who we are to him

14:44.120 --> 14:47.860
and what he wants for us in this dispensation.

14:50.140 --> 14:52.700
Our job is to follow in on that.

14:53.960 --> 14:57.720
To submit, to obey, to follow.

15:00.500 --> 15:06.380
If we don't, that's where a problem is going to come in.

15:06.700 --> 15:11.000
So I want to show you something that the Lord pointed out to me, showed to me.

15:11.540 --> 15:16.200
And I thought that's really good. In fact, he showed to me this week during the night.

15:18.260 --> 15:21.620
So I'm going to add it into what we're talking about here.

15:26.550 --> 15:29.110
Opening the heavens and sustaining and open heavens.

15:30.230 --> 15:40.230
At this point, just by our brief overview in that book, you should see obedience is one of the key things that will open the heavens.

15:41.030 --> 15:48.650
And I've always said because of the book of 1 John, if you drive obedience deep enough, you will eventually end up in love.

15:49.690 --> 15:53.630
If you love me, you'll obey me.

15:56.250 --> 16:01.470
So obedience is rooted not in rules and regulations, and this is what our church demands.

16:02.050 --> 16:08.590
Obedience is rooted in we love God. That's why we obey Him.

16:10.730 --> 16:17.110
To have obedience, you have to have repentance and submission.

16:19.470 --> 16:25.110
This may be a surprise, but none of us automatically obey.

16:31.770 --> 16:36.490
We obey after the Holy Spirit works on us.

16:37.850 --> 16:44.250
And if we don't have repentance, and they could have been two lines, but I put them together because if you have repentance, you're going to have submission.

16:45.710 --> 16:47.950
You can't have submission without repentance.

16:49.610 --> 16:50.670
So I put them together.

16:52.410 --> 17:06.610
Obedience directly stands on. The first layer underneath obedience is us being willing to get a change of mind, realize what we're doing is wrong, turn around, go the other direction and submit to what God's asking, obey Him.

17:10.830 --> 17:14.330
There are a lot of things that show up in between.

17:15.810 --> 17:17.350
I've listed a few of them.

17:19.670 --> 17:30.810
Because God loves us and because we love Him, He is going to John 16, the Holy Spirit is going to work on convincing us of three things.

17:31.790 --> 17:34.370
What is right, what is wrong, and that the devil is judged.

17:37.070 --> 17:39.210
That is way down at the bottom.

17:41.010 --> 17:53.850
So once we're convinced what's right and what's wrong, then the Holy Spirit will start sifting us to separate what's wrong out and keep what's right in our life.

17:55.410 --> 18:02.150
That's the point you and I have to make decisions whether we're going along with this or we're going to stop right here.

18:05.950 --> 18:11.150
Unfortunately, my perspective is the greatest bulk of believers stop right there.

18:12.250 --> 18:14.030
They're not going to follow in deeper.

18:15.450 --> 18:18.570
I'm a believer, I don't have to follow in deeper.

18:20.050 --> 18:21.610
We're going to follow in deeper.

18:23.710 --> 18:31.890
Once we realize, whoa, I'm wrong and the Holy Spirit starts shaking on us a bit and we decide, okay,

18:32.150 --> 18:36.550
I'm going to deal with this. The first thing we go for is God forgive me.

18:38.110 --> 18:40.010
Forgiveness and repentance are not the same thing.

18:42.050 --> 18:48.270
Forgiveness is receiving pardon, receiving the blood on our life to wash us clean.

18:49.250 --> 18:52.370
Repentance is the change of mind of how we were living.

18:54.050 --> 18:57.630
So we ask for forgiveness for our sins.

18:59.770 --> 19:08.010
Now we have the chance to discipline ourselves to repent, change our thinking,

19:08.590 --> 19:12.290
change our lifestyle, change our habits by the Holy Spirit.

19:12.670 --> 19:17.510
And rather than going this way and the Holy Spirit, no, you can't go this way.

19:17.590 --> 19:21.070
He starts convincing us and he starts sifting us and he starts working on us.

19:21.070 --> 19:24.890
And we come to a decision. Do I want to keep going this way or do I want to turn around?

19:26.090 --> 19:28.890
The reason we're going this way is because we want to go this way.

19:30.150 --> 19:31.690
Folks, we like our sin.

19:34.330 --> 19:35.550
Or we wouldn't do it.

19:37.450 --> 19:38.710
Don't look at me so shocked.

19:40.070 --> 19:41.250
You like your sin.

19:42.150 --> 19:45.270
That's why it's so hard to give it up, to die to it.

19:46.650 --> 19:49.990
But he will convince us, you can't do this and he'll start shaking on us a bit.

19:50.050 --> 19:51.170
Now we need to make a decision.

19:51.670 --> 19:53.830
Okay, I realize this is wrong.

19:54.510 --> 19:57.610
I'm going this way in life. He wants me going that way.

19:58.170 --> 19:59.370
I realize this is wrong.

19:59.850 --> 20:02.290
The first thing we do is God forgive me for going this way.

20:02.510 --> 20:06.210
I was wrong. I'm sorry. Forgive me. Forgive my sin.

20:06.850 --> 20:07.410
Cleanse me.

20:09.050 --> 20:11.870
And we have to make the choice.

20:12.030 --> 20:14.090
God is not going to grab us by the head.

20:17.550 --> 20:18.690
Now go that way.

20:20.410 --> 20:24.650
We come to the realization that way is wrong.

20:26.490 --> 20:29.250
I have got to change. God forgive me.

20:30.090 --> 20:33.270
To make that change is not always easy.

20:33.350 --> 20:34.330
It requires discipline.

20:36.750 --> 20:39.150
And then we start moving the other direction.

20:40.690 --> 20:45.490
The turn and the movement is repentance.

20:47.190 --> 20:50.550
It's submitting to his will rather than doing ours.

20:52.190 --> 20:54.230
That turns into obedience.

20:56.290 --> 21:03.590
If we don't have that as a church, we won't have open heavens.

21:04.570 --> 21:07.230
This is not just a nice title for a set of meetings.

21:08.250 --> 21:11.810
This is something we want in place to live by.

21:13.690 --> 21:19.750
If you don't have that as an individual, you will never experience open heavens in your life.

21:24.220 --> 21:28.840
Those things have to be there and the Holy Spirit may even add a few more.

21:29.700 --> 21:32.840
And say we got some other things here I need to work with you on.

21:33.700 --> 21:37.440
So with that in mind, we'll go back to what we were talking about.

21:38.740 --> 21:42.580
So now that we have the concept of open heavens,

21:44.020 --> 21:48.140
let's talk about angels in this a bit and show you how these work together.

21:48.820 --> 21:53.100
And if you can, give me the PowerPoint at this point.

21:54.360 --> 21:56.580
See if it works. Here we go.

21:58.820 --> 22:02.620
So let's see if the PowerPoint works. It does.

22:03.960 --> 22:06.440
Okay, so that is a reminder.

22:06.860 --> 22:09.480
Okay, now can you jump me ahead? I don't even want to start back there.

22:09.500 --> 22:13.240
You got to jump me all the way up to where it says God's designed for the human race.

22:13.440 --> 22:15.180
It's about halfway, maybe not quite.

22:18.320 --> 22:21.780
We used this, that we used last Sunday.

22:22.540 --> 22:25.420
Now we need to move forward to... there it is.

22:26.280 --> 22:29.480
God's designed for the human race is that angels work with us.

22:31.200 --> 22:34.220
We operate from and in the physical side.

22:36.600 --> 22:45.220
They operate from the spiritual side to help us as we're living in the physical side.

22:46.300 --> 22:49.180
This room is full of angels right now. None of you can see them.

22:50.640 --> 22:53.120
Well, I can't say none of you. Some of you might be seeing something.

22:53.780 --> 22:56.900
But typically speaking, we don't see them.

22:56.900 --> 23:03.160
But they're all here. You have angels with you all day long, every day of the week.

23:03.260 --> 23:06.020
When you're in bed, there's one right there. At least one.

23:07.320 --> 23:13.040
They're working with us from the spiritual side to help us as we're going through this physical realm.

23:13.360 --> 23:15.100
That was God's design.

23:16.120 --> 23:19.940
I mean, there's so many examples of Scripture we could spend the whole night talking about them.

23:20.320 --> 23:21.820
Old Testament is full of them.

23:22.360 --> 23:25.100
Jump to the New Testament. Jesus' birth. Angels.

23:25.100 --> 23:27.820
Jesus and the wilderness. Angels.

23:28.960 --> 23:33.320
Cornelius. Gentile. The first Gentile to get saved and baptized in the Holy Spirit.

23:33.780 --> 23:35.260
How'd that come about? Angels.

23:36.240 --> 23:38.360
Paul on the shipwreck. Angels.

23:39.040 --> 23:41.700
John's revelation. His vision. Angels.

23:42.420 --> 23:44.480
Angels are very active with humans.

23:45.020 --> 23:49.660
I mean, you can just go on listing the time Scripture talks about angels working with humans.

23:50.380 --> 23:54.200
He gives us enough input to show us this is how it works.

23:55.200 --> 23:59.800
But he doesn't, you know, he doesn't, not every time is there example of what an angel is doing.

24:00.480 --> 24:06.020
But angels are spirits and ministers of flame of fire.

24:07.500 --> 24:10.640
That's what angels are. That's what Scripture calls them.

24:11.500 --> 24:16.540
They're in the spirit realm and his ministers of flame of fire.

24:16.660 --> 24:22.800
Well, the Holy Spirit baptizes us with fire, so they work right in hand with what the Holy Spirit's doing in our life

24:22.800 --> 24:25.440
and what he wants done and etc.

24:26.160 --> 24:35.040
If you jump down to I believe verse 14 in that chapter, it says that angels are sent to those who are going to be heirs or inherit the kingdom or eternal life.

24:36.840 --> 24:38.160
So they're sent to us.

24:39.320 --> 24:40.320
Psalms 103.

24:40.720 --> 24:47.880
Bless the Lord you as angels who excel in strength, who do his word, heeding the voice of his word.

24:49.440 --> 24:51.600
That's how you activate your angels.

24:52.060 --> 24:57.780
The ones that have been assigned to you, they don't respond to us telling them what to do.

24:58.840 --> 25:04.120
There's no place in Scripture that I can find where it says I have authority to tell any angels what to do.

25:04.960 --> 25:06.960
And I hear Christians doing this all the time.

25:07.840 --> 25:10.040
And it's like, well, I can't show me in Scripture.

25:11.440 --> 25:15.320
Well, I'm sending my angels to go do this, sending them to go to, they're not going to do a thing.

25:15.420 --> 25:17.020
They're going to stand and look at you like what's wrong with you.

25:17.860 --> 25:18.940
You need to read the word.

25:19.300 --> 25:19.860
That's what they're thinking.

25:20.820 --> 25:23.600
Angels do his word.

25:24.880 --> 25:26.580
So now put two and two together.

25:27.940 --> 25:32.740
We're supposed to confess the word of faith is in your.

25:34.140 --> 25:37.520
If we will speak his word.

25:38.660 --> 25:40.020
Boom, they go.

25:41.200 --> 25:41.980
They get active.

25:43.080 --> 25:44.800
Heeding the voice.

25:44.800 --> 25:50.320
They're listening for someone to say his word.

25:52.600 --> 25:54.540
That someone is us.

25:56.660 --> 25:58.580
They're sent to minister to us.

25:59.660 --> 26:01.880
A lot of angels are really bored.

26:03.680 --> 26:05.760
Because you're not giving them anything to do.

26:08.840 --> 26:14.600
We have to speak his will, his word over our life.

26:14.800 --> 26:18.040
And they kick into gear to accomplish his word.

26:18.920 --> 26:20.480
We cannot dispatch them.

26:20.600 --> 26:21.780
We cannot give them orders.

26:22.060 --> 26:24.680
I find nothing in Scripture that tells us we can do that.

26:25.080 --> 26:29.010
But when we hear the rama word, we get the revelation.

26:30.220 --> 26:32.580
Oh, that's what God wants from me.

26:32.840 --> 26:37.580
And we let that drop into our heart and we begin calling that by faith.

26:38.240 --> 26:39.980
That just revs them up.

26:39.980 --> 26:46.800
Because now they're working with us to get what we're calling to take place.

26:49.340 --> 26:54.860
Bless the Lord all you, his hosts, you ministers of his who do his pleasure.

26:54.900 --> 26:55.960
And it's talking of angels.

26:56.680 --> 26:58.420
They don't do our pleasure.

26:58.760 --> 27:01.300
They don't minister for us.

27:01.500 --> 27:06.440
They minister for him and they do his pleasure.

27:07.480 --> 27:11.420
And here is the Old Testament verse that I quoted to you out of Hebrews 1.7.

27:11.520 --> 27:13.040
I just thought I'd give you the reference on that.

27:13.740 --> 27:16.860
So I want you to see something here as we're talking about this little bit.

27:16.980 --> 27:17.920
Revelation 22.

27:18.980 --> 27:20.540
And I, John, saw and heard these things.

27:20.640 --> 27:25.840
And when I heard and saw, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel who showed me these things.

27:26.280 --> 27:31.900
Do you realize that the entire revelation that John wrote down that we look at as the book of Revelation?

27:34.080 --> 27:36.340
He was guided through that whole thing by an angel.

27:40.410 --> 27:44.210
An angel showed him all this, explained to him what he could.

27:46.290 --> 27:47.790
And John was overwhelmed.

27:47.990 --> 27:49.090
So he fell down to worship.

27:50.110 --> 27:51.630
Verse nine, then the angel said,

27:52.490 --> 27:54.570
See that you do not do that.

27:56.150 --> 27:57.710
We don't worship angels.

28:01.370 --> 28:02.610
We don't submit.

28:03.690 --> 28:07.110
Offer yourselves a living sacrifice, which is your spiritual worship.

28:07.110 --> 28:09.230
You don't offer yourself to angels.

28:10.210 --> 28:11.510
We don't worship them.

28:12.570 --> 28:13.770
We worship God.

28:15.210 --> 28:17.890
They are, read on, fellow servants.

28:18.510 --> 28:19.430
Don't do that.

28:19.590 --> 28:22.910
Don't worship me, for I am your fellow servant.

28:23.090 --> 28:24.270
They're serving God with us.

28:25.250 --> 28:26.370
They're just in a different realm.

28:28.190 --> 28:34.490
And I, and of your brethren, the prophets and of those who keep the words of this book.

28:34.590 --> 28:36.250
And I want you to notice those three things.

28:37.990 --> 28:41.530
I am your fellow servant.

28:43.210 --> 28:44.350
That's John.

28:44.730 --> 28:45.370
That's not you.

28:46.670 --> 28:49.750
The angel wasn't talking to you or me when he made that statement.

28:54.730 --> 28:56.270
That was to John.

28:57.450 --> 28:59.570
Said, I am your fellow servant.

29:00.210 --> 29:03.230
And of your brethren, the prophets.

29:03.890 --> 29:09.250
Prophets have angels assigned to them so they can prophesy clearly and accurately.

29:10.490 --> 29:17.690
In case any of you are wondering, where's the scripture that says, I'll just use Jim as an example,

29:18.370 --> 29:26.610
that says God would use an angel to help him prophesy or speak what God wants spoken into a person's life.

29:27.730 --> 29:28.870
Right there it is.

29:32.950 --> 29:38.030
Angels help prophets say what God wants said.

29:38.890 --> 29:42.650
I am John's servant, fellow servant.

29:42.970 --> 29:45.210
I work with John, not servant, but fellow servant.

29:45.970 --> 29:48.450
I'm a fellow servant with prophets.

29:50.570 --> 29:52.510
And here we are.

29:54.030 --> 29:56.310
Those who keep the words of this book.

29:59.110 --> 30:04.470
Believers, angels are fellow servants of believers.

30:06.590 --> 30:14.330
Not just believers, but those who keep the words.

30:16.450 --> 30:21.470
Oh, there's a difference between believing there's a God and actually doing what he says.

30:23.390 --> 30:27.650
Angels work with you when you do what he says, not just because you believe there's a God.

30:29.330 --> 30:30.490
I mean it's right there.

30:31.470 --> 30:33.450
So he says worship God, don't worship me.

30:34.470 --> 30:35.930
One more verse on that.

30:36.110 --> 30:37.650
Let no one cheat you of your reward.

30:38.290 --> 30:39.690
Do not worship angels.

30:40.450 --> 30:41.650
Colossians chapter two.

30:42.050 --> 30:43.470
It has to stay about Jesus.

30:44.530 --> 30:52.530
And we don't get all puffed up that angels are working among us because it's not supposed to be an exception to the rule.

30:53.010 --> 30:56.950
The angels were given to minister to the New Testament church.

30:57.110 --> 30:59.250
I'll show you that here just real clearly in a bit.

31:00.290 --> 31:09.850
But it's something that seems to happen so rarely from our understanding that we can actually get proud about something that we shouldn't be proud of.

31:11.390 --> 31:13.250
Why so an angel? I have an angel.

31:18.490 --> 31:19.290
That's normal.

31:21.430 --> 31:23.410
You shouldn't get all wound up about that.

31:23.510 --> 31:23.990
That's normal.

31:24.970 --> 31:26.990
If you don't have one, you should be concerned.

31:28.690 --> 31:29.410
Something's wrong.

31:29.410 --> 31:34.750
It's available to every believer, every church who will allow it to be.

31:35.890 --> 31:40.990
Now since the beginning, and I'll just start with Minnesota, I won't go back into Colorado, just start with Minnesota.

31:41.590 --> 31:45.030
We've had a lot of supernatural activity taking place at Word of Life.

31:45.690 --> 31:48.310
A lot of angelic activity with that.

31:49.390 --> 31:55.430
People besides myself, numerous people, see them, hear them, see what they're doing.

31:57.430 --> 31:59.390
They can watch their activity.

31:59.910 --> 32:01.910
Numbers of people have been touched by them.

32:05.490 --> 32:07.730
Who was it? Somebody just told me the other day.

32:11.950 --> 32:14.650
It happens so often. It's just like meh.

32:15.210 --> 32:17.910
I don't hang on to the details that well, but they were...

32:17.910 --> 32:22.530
Somebody spoke behind them, and I can't remember if they said something to do or what the deal was.

32:22.530 --> 32:26.250
But somebody was behind them, spoke behind them, and they turned around and there was nobody there.

32:27.450 --> 32:29.810
Well, that was an angel working with the person.

32:31.750 --> 32:35.730
Let's look at Genesis. Here's Jacob's ladder.

32:37.610 --> 32:38.890
Jacob is on the run.

32:40.970 --> 32:42.970
He's afraid his brother is going to kill him.

32:44.330 --> 32:48.670
So he's headed back to his home country, and he stopped for the night,

32:48.810 --> 32:51.470
and he dreamed to behold a ladder was set up on the earth.

32:51.470 --> 32:53.030
This was in his dream. He saw this.

32:53.470 --> 32:57.890
And it's top reached to heaven, and there were angels of God that were ascending and descending on it.

32:59.050 --> 33:01.210
And behold, the Lord stood above it and said,

33:01.450 --> 33:07.830
I am the Lord God of Abraham, your father, and the God of Isaac.

33:08.270 --> 33:10.470
So you got Abraham, Isaac. Now he's talking to Jacob.

33:11.650 --> 33:14.770
The land on which you lie, I will give to you and your descendants.

33:14.990 --> 33:16.210
Who did he say that to before?

33:17.610 --> 33:18.010
Abraham.

33:19.310 --> 33:20.750
He also reaffirmed it to Isaac.

33:21.470 --> 33:29.370
That's why when you get past Jacob, God often refers to himself as the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

33:30.350 --> 33:34.630
They're the foundation of this covenant that was in place.

33:37.850 --> 33:44.690
That right there, we experience every time we're here.

33:45.790 --> 33:47.230
It's just not a ladder.

33:48.610 --> 33:50.830
I'll explain to you what it is in a bit.

33:51.470 --> 33:55.170
It's a ladder, but angels ascending, descending the heaven open and so forth.

33:55.310 --> 33:56.370
We experience that all the time.

33:56.810 --> 34:03.370
Something interesting, God in this section, every time the word God shows up from here on down, it's speaking of Elohim.

34:04.830 --> 34:07.690
Lord is Jehovah, verse 13.

34:07.850 --> 34:12.370
And behold, Jehovah stood above the ladder and said,

34:12.490 --> 34:14.930
I am Jehovah Elohim of Abraham.

34:15.390 --> 34:19.250
And I'm Elohim of Isaac.

34:22.310 --> 34:25.190
It's good to know what those names mean and plug them in.

34:26.630 --> 34:29.930
Now, it would make perfect sense he'd refer to himself as Jehovah.

34:30.370 --> 34:32.130
Do you know why? He's talking covenant.

34:33.490 --> 34:36.050
Jehovah is the name of the covenant God.

34:37.490 --> 34:40.050
So it always makes things clearer if you plug them in.

34:40.150 --> 34:41.810
It's like, oh, now I see it.

34:42.650 --> 34:44.870
Then Jacob awoke from his sleep.

34:45.730 --> 34:46.790
Let me get past that.

34:46.790 --> 34:51.370
Then also your descendant shall be as the dust of the earth.

34:51.470 --> 34:53.070
So he's still talking to him about this covenant.

34:53.870 --> 34:57.890
And you shall spread abroad to the west and the east and north and the south and in you and in your seed.

34:58.010 --> 35:00.570
All the families of the earth shall be blessed.

35:01.450 --> 35:04.250
Behold, I am with you and will keep you wherever you go.

35:04.490 --> 35:10.970
And will bring you back to this land for I will not leave you until I have done what I have spoken to you.

35:11.130 --> 35:12.690
He's making covenant with him.

35:12.690 --> 35:16.830
He's re-expressing the covenant that was made with Abraham.

35:17.430 --> 35:18.850
He's establishing it with Jacob.

35:19.770 --> 35:22.890
Then Jacob awoke from his sleep and said,

35:23.610 --> 35:27.370
Surely, Elohim is in this place.

35:27.490 --> 35:28.070
Who is Elohim?

35:30.590 --> 35:31.470
Go deeper.

35:32.530 --> 35:40.150
Trinity, the God of who is all sovereign, the God of creative or creation.

35:40.470 --> 35:42.090
God of creative power, creation.

35:42.690 --> 35:43.230
Elohim.

35:46.090 --> 35:48.250
Surely Elohim is in this place.

35:48.950 --> 35:50.410
Wow, and I didn't know it.

35:51.150 --> 35:52.610
And he was afraid and said,

35:53.150 --> 35:54.750
How awesome is this place?

35:56.510 --> 35:58.970
Awesome meant, it's freaking me out.

36:00.470 --> 36:02.450
This is none other than the house of God.

36:04.810 --> 36:07.110
And this is the gate of heaven.

36:08.250 --> 36:10.130
So he knows what's going on here.

36:10.130 --> 36:12.470
Then Jacob rose early in the morning,

36:12.630 --> 36:14.890
took the stone that he had put at his head

36:14.890 --> 36:18.950
and set it up as a pillar and poured oil on top of it.

36:19.350 --> 36:21.950
He's reciprocating on the covenant offer.

36:22.890 --> 36:25.410
And he called the name of that place Bethel,

36:25.490 --> 36:27.070
which means house of God.

36:27.910 --> 36:30.810
But the name of that city had been Luz previously

36:30.810 --> 36:34.270
because it, here's an interesting thing.

36:34.270 --> 36:39.270
From my research, where Jacob slept

36:41.270 --> 36:44.630
was either right there or right in the vicinity

36:45.270 --> 36:47.690
of where Abraham built the altar

36:47.690 --> 36:49.490
when he came from the ear of the Keldees.

36:50.530 --> 36:53.530
He built an altar, said,

36:53.630 --> 36:54.730
Okay, God, we're here

36:54.730 --> 36:57.450
and God made covenant promises to him.

36:57.710 --> 36:58.750
I'm going to give you the land.

36:59.070 --> 37:01.030
I'm going to give you descendants this, that and the other.

37:01.450 --> 37:02.530
Times got tough

37:05.550 --> 37:06.870
Bethel means house of God.

37:08.050 --> 37:09.350
Abraham called it Bethel.

37:09.450 --> 37:11.330
Times got tough. Abraham went to Egypt.

37:12.530 --> 37:13.790
God into all kinds of trouble

37:16.710 --> 37:19.030
because I don't think he was supposed to go to Egypt.

37:19.570 --> 37:20.870
Egypt is a picture of the world.

37:20.950 --> 37:22.510
He wasn't supposed to go to the world to get help.

37:23.310 --> 37:24.050
But he did.

37:26.470 --> 37:28.510
And once that played out

37:29.050 --> 37:32.710
the first place he went to when he came back from Egypt

37:33.670 --> 37:36.510
was that altar he established at Bethel.

37:38.370 --> 37:40.450
And it says he cried out to the Lord.

37:40.530 --> 37:41.650
I'd love to know what he said.

37:41.770 --> 37:43.650
I'd love to know what that played out like.

37:43.930 --> 37:45.170
But he cried out to the Lord.

37:47.650 --> 37:49.910
This is found, I believe in Genesis 12.

37:50.910 --> 37:52.390
12 in the beginning of 13.

37:53.690 --> 37:57.890
My opinion, that's when the heavens opened.

37:59.430 --> 38:04.250
Or shortly thereafter in 15 when God actually laid,

38:04.530 --> 38:06.050
Abraham laid the pieces out

38:06.050 --> 38:07.430
and God came and made covenant.

38:07.630 --> 38:08.970
Him and Jesus walking through the pieces.

38:10.110 --> 38:11.870
The heavens opened there.

38:14.390 --> 38:15.390
Isaac came.

38:16.930 --> 38:17.550
Jacob came.

38:17.810 --> 38:18.490
Jacob got in trouble.

38:18.670 --> 38:19.990
He's headed back to the earth.

38:20.170 --> 38:22.690
Kelly's headed back to Abraham's relatives.

38:24.650 --> 38:27.590
And he happens to stop at the place

38:27.890 --> 38:29.170
where Abraham built the altar.

38:32.270 --> 38:33.850
Jacob didn't open the heavens.

38:34.270 --> 38:34.930
Abraham did.

38:36.450 --> 38:39.370
Jacob just was part of the covenant

38:40.930 --> 38:42.550
of that open heaven.

38:43.810 --> 38:46.430
In other words, I am going to do in you

38:46.430 --> 38:47.870
what I'm going to do

38:48.610 --> 38:51.250
and there will be nothing that will restrict this.

38:51.450 --> 38:53.570
It will flow and the picture of that

38:53.570 --> 38:54.970
is angels going up and down.

38:56.190 --> 38:57.270
It will flow.

38:57.890 --> 38:58.650
There will be no restrictions

38:59.210 --> 39:00.670
on what's going to happen here.

39:01.370 --> 39:02.150
Now notice this.

39:02.250 --> 39:03.010
I think this is really good.

39:03.130 --> 39:03.950
I'll have to throw this into.

39:04.330 --> 39:06.410
If I ever get to that last message on tithing,

39:06.770 --> 39:07.390
put this in there.

39:08.430 --> 39:09.670
Then Jacob made a vow saying,

39:09.830 --> 39:10.890
if God will be with me

39:10.890 --> 39:13.050
and keep me in this way that I am going

39:13.050 --> 39:14.310
and give me bread to eat

39:14.310 --> 39:15.510
and clothing to put on

39:16.130 --> 39:18.290
so that I come back to my father's house

39:18.290 --> 39:21.050
and peace, then the Elohim

39:21.050 --> 39:22.150
shall be my Jehovah.

39:28.250 --> 39:30.910
And all that you give me,

39:31.190 --> 39:33.090
I will surely give you

39:33.990 --> 39:36.230
the tithe, a tenth.

39:37.510 --> 39:40.390
Anytime there's an establishment of covenant,

39:40.950 --> 39:43.130
the exchange on the human side

39:43.130 --> 39:44.350
is the tenth.

39:44.710 --> 39:45.670
They knew that.

39:46.810 --> 39:49.210
We don't always, but they knew that.

39:51.070 --> 39:53.610
That is a description

39:53.610 --> 39:55.210
of open heavens.

39:57.890 --> 39:59.170
Let me take you through

39:59.170 --> 39:59.910
a couple more scriptures

39:59.910 --> 40:00.830
then we're going to give stories.

40:01.250 --> 40:02.530
For if you have not come to the mountain,

40:02.750 --> 40:03.750
this is the one where

40:04.370 --> 40:06.730
open heavens, it's on the page 14

40:06.730 --> 40:08.190
at the bottom where I said

40:09.050 --> 40:10.670
angels are supposed to be active

40:10.670 --> 40:11.370
in every church.

40:11.630 --> 40:13.170
Here's the context of it.

40:15.590 --> 40:17.410
He's comparing the Old Testament

40:17.410 --> 40:19.550
Mount Zion to the New Testament

40:19.550 --> 40:20.130
Zion.

40:20.470 --> 40:22.090
New Testament Zion is the church.

40:22.790 --> 40:24.490
For you have not come to the mountain

40:24.490 --> 40:26.150
that may be touched and that burned

40:26.150 --> 40:28.110
with fire and to blackness

40:28.110 --> 40:29.330
and darkness and the tempest.

40:29.390 --> 40:31.310
See that was the Old Testament

40:31.310 --> 40:33.030
Mount Zion where the law,

40:33.590 --> 40:35.290
the Mount Hermon the law was given on

40:35.290 --> 40:36.410
or referred to as Zion.

40:37.210 --> 40:39.070
The people were told to stay away from it.

40:39.250 --> 40:40.230
Don't touch it if you touch it

40:40.230 --> 40:41.750
you'll die blah blah blah blah blah.

40:42.130 --> 40:43.730
He goes on and explains that up

40:43.730 --> 40:44.750
through verse 21.

40:46.090 --> 40:47.310
Verse 22 he says,

40:47.310 --> 40:49.070
but you didn't come to that one.

40:49.430 --> 40:51.070
You have come to Mount Zion

40:51.070 --> 40:52.610
to the city of the living God

40:52.610 --> 40:54.130
the heavenly Jerusalem

40:54.130 --> 40:57.190
to the innumerable company of angels

40:57.190 --> 41:01.590
to the innumerable company of angels

41:02.230 --> 41:03.950
to the general assembly

41:03.950 --> 41:05.750
and church of the firstborn

41:06.670 --> 41:08.830
who are registered in heaven

41:09.690 --> 41:11.410
to God the judge of all

41:11.410 --> 41:13.270
to the spirits of just men made perfect

41:13.270 --> 41:15.590
to Jesus the mediator of the New Covenant

41:15.590 --> 41:17.370
and to the blood of sprinkling

41:17.370 --> 41:18.850
that speaks of things that

41:18.850 --> 41:20.830
are better than that of Abel.

41:21.390 --> 41:22.950
So without taking it all apart

41:22.950 --> 41:25.370
let me just summarize all that by saying this.

41:25.950 --> 41:27.070
He's saying in the Old Testament

41:27.070 --> 41:28.150
they had a physical mountain

41:28.150 --> 41:29.510
that they could not go to

41:29.510 --> 41:30.770
or they could die.

41:31.050 --> 41:32.270
He said in the New Testament

41:32.270 --> 41:34.210
here is what I'm bringing you to

41:34.210 --> 41:36.950
as a church and it involves

41:36.950 --> 41:40.910
an innumerable company of angels.

41:42.550 --> 41:44.730
The church in the New Testament

41:44.730 --> 41:47.470
is supposed to be loaded up

41:47.470 --> 41:49.010
with angels.

41:50.450 --> 41:52.170
It's part of the promise.

41:52.390 --> 41:53.410
It's part of our inheritance.

41:55.390 --> 41:58.050
They really first manifest greatly

41:58.050 --> 41:59.770
when the heavens will open.

42:01.930 --> 42:03.830
For the heavens to open

42:03.830 --> 42:05.810
we have to understand what's available

42:05.810 --> 42:06.850
to us in covenant

42:06.850 --> 42:09.410
and go for our covenant rights

42:09.410 --> 42:10.250
our inheritance

42:11.190 --> 42:12.490
and obey him.

42:14.770 --> 42:15.810
Which we've done.

42:18.670 --> 42:20.590
Mark chapter 16 verse 20

42:20.590 --> 42:22.330
and they went out and preached everywhere

42:22.330 --> 42:23.770
the Lord working with them

42:23.770 --> 42:25.410
and confirming a word

42:25.410 --> 42:27.130
through the accompanying signs, amen.

42:27.730 --> 42:29.570
Signs are supernatural workings of God.

42:29.690 --> 42:31.270
When you find supernatural workings of God

42:31.270 --> 42:33.350
in Scripture you a lot of times

42:33.350 --> 42:33.890
find angels.

42:34.970 --> 42:36.790
I think angels work with

42:36.790 --> 42:37.970
the confirmation

42:38.890 --> 42:39.910
of the signs.

42:43.190 --> 42:44.030
So now

42:45.130 --> 42:46.690
we're going to talk about things

42:46.690 --> 42:47.950
that some of you have seen.

42:49.790 --> 42:50.350
Some of...

42:50.350 --> 42:51.870
I think probably most of you have not.

42:52.330 --> 42:55.370
But God wants us to talk about it.

42:55.870 --> 42:57.650
We're going to talk about angelic

42:57.650 --> 42:58.810
activity around us.

43:00.730 --> 43:02.310
It's really prevalent in Scripture

43:03.610 --> 43:06.150
and it's fairly prevalent with us.

43:07.730 --> 43:10.330
Remember the end of 2008

43:11.410 --> 43:13.610
the vision the man had of the angels

43:13.610 --> 43:15.110
at the four corners of the property

43:15.110 --> 43:17.110
and things that were happening

43:17.110 --> 43:18.570
when the church was in the modular

43:18.570 --> 43:19.410
back at our house.

43:21.090 --> 43:22.650
I'm not going to go back over that

43:22.650 --> 43:24.490
but we're going to use that

43:24.490 --> 43:25.670
as kind of a starting point.

43:25.790 --> 43:26.970
Then we went into the open heaven

43:26.970 --> 43:28.050
meetings 2009.

43:28.570 --> 43:29.890
Had all kinds of things happen.

43:29.990 --> 43:31.690
I've got a picture or two to show you from that.

43:36.450 --> 43:39.150
It was a Saturday night, July 18th.

43:41.930 --> 43:43.150
In the modular

43:43.150 --> 43:45.570
there were two angels stationed.

43:45.850 --> 43:46.810
They were there continually.

43:47.750 --> 43:49.010
If you'd look at the front

43:49.010 --> 43:51.010
it was at the door that left

43:51.010 --> 43:52.410
the sanctuary on this side

43:52.410 --> 43:54.250
and by the drums on this side.

43:55.370 --> 43:56.930
They were there continually.

43:57.530 --> 44:00.370
Pretty much normal human sized angels.

44:00.850 --> 44:02.570
They might have been six feet

44:02.570 --> 44:03.910
little over whatever, normal.

44:05.310 --> 44:07.870
The one at the northwest side

44:09.050 --> 44:12.090
during the summer fest on Saturday night

44:12.910 --> 44:15.310
asked, so he was talking to me now,

44:15.570 --> 44:16.690
asked if he could come out

44:16.690 --> 44:18.090
and join us outside.

44:18.590 --> 44:21.610
His station was, I'm pointing there

44:21.610 --> 44:22.690
but that's where it was

44:22.690 --> 44:24.390
in the little building there.

44:25.210 --> 44:26.510
So I gave him permission

44:27.650 --> 44:29.950
and this happened on Thursday or Friday.

44:29.950 --> 44:31.550
Well on Saturday night during worship

44:31.550 --> 44:33.190
and I'm just going to read it

44:33.910 --> 44:34.330
in a number of stories.

44:34.450 --> 44:35.530
I just want to get the details right.

44:36.130 --> 44:37.910
I noticed that in the middle

44:38.630 --> 44:39.550
of the tent

44:40.970 --> 44:42.290
this angel was dancing

44:42.290 --> 44:44.090
in like a war like fashion

44:44.090 --> 44:44.890
with its sword.

44:45.090 --> 44:46.270
Just the one angel

44:47.410 --> 44:48.890
and it would spin.

44:50.330 --> 44:51.630
It would hold its sword a lot of times

44:51.630 --> 44:53.370
with two hands, sometimes one

44:54.790 --> 44:56.190
and it could go either hand

44:58.170 --> 44:59.550
but a lot of times with two

44:59.550 --> 45:00.850
and it would spin.

45:03.910 --> 45:05.530
Well I'm not the only one who's seen this

45:05.530 --> 45:06.830
but when angels get going

45:06.830 --> 45:07.770
for whatever reason

45:07.770 --> 45:10.570
there are times they spin like a top

45:11.670 --> 45:12.190
just

45:12.190 --> 45:14.830
and they actually become a blur.

45:16.030 --> 45:17.450
They spin like a top

45:18.450 --> 45:20.450
and he wasn't going that fast

45:20.450 --> 45:21.210
but he was spinning

45:21.210 --> 45:23.570
and while praise and worship was going on

45:23.570 --> 45:25.050
he was dancing

45:25.050 --> 45:27.950
but his actions with the sword

45:27.950 --> 45:29.370
were very war like

45:30.550 --> 45:32.510
like stabbing and cutting

45:33.170 --> 45:34.410
and very war like.

45:34.890 --> 45:37.130
And I thought, huh, it's interesting.

45:37.350 --> 45:38.350
I wonder why I'm seeing this

45:38.350 --> 45:39.210
because you're not going to see it

45:39.210 --> 45:40.350
if God doesn't want you to see it.

45:40.750 --> 45:42.570
So I'm wondering, I wonder why I'm seeing this.

45:44.350 --> 45:45.550
Then all of a sudden

45:45.550 --> 45:46.890
he twirled

45:48.050 --> 45:49.210
this would have been north

45:49.210 --> 45:50.850
in the tent with the stage.

45:51.590 --> 45:52.390
He twirled

45:52.870 --> 45:53.910
this way I believe.

45:54.590 --> 45:56.670
He took his sword and he threw it

45:57.330 --> 45:58.670
and I watched it go

45:59.430 --> 46:00.990
and it went out into the field

46:00.990 --> 46:03.530
and stuck into some kind of demonic being out there.

46:05.030 --> 46:06.310
And I thought, huh,

46:07.730 --> 46:08.470
that's interesting.

46:09.750 --> 46:11.110
So now I'm not doing a lot

46:11.110 --> 46:11.890
of praise and worshiping

46:11.890 --> 46:12.830
I'm just watching the movie

46:13.750 --> 46:15.130
and I thought, well now he's going to

46:15.130 --> 46:15.930
have to go all the way out there

46:15.930 --> 46:16.410
to get it.

46:17.690 --> 46:19.470
And just like Thor's hammer

46:22.090 --> 46:23.650
he was looking at it

46:23.650 --> 46:24.370
and he turned

46:24.370 --> 46:25.670
and as he turned

46:25.670 --> 46:27.370
it just spun back

46:27.370 --> 46:28.590
he grabbed it

46:30.650 --> 46:32.430
and he started throwing it

46:32.430 --> 46:33.950
in different directions

46:34.790 --> 46:36.870
and it started coming back fast

46:36.870 --> 46:38.750
and he was throwing it over and over

46:38.750 --> 46:40.030
and it was going out

46:40.030 --> 46:40.910
beyond the property

46:40.910 --> 46:41.970
and sticking into

46:43.050 --> 46:43.870
demonic beings.

46:45.670 --> 46:47.570
Well, apparently one wasn't enough

46:47.570 --> 46:48.550
all of a sudden I saw him

46:48.550 --> 46:49.210
going with two

46:50.530 --> 46:51.950
and just back and forth

46:51.950 --> 46:52.470
going with two

46:52.470 --> 46:53.510
and then more angels came

46:53.510 --> 46:54.550
by the time it was done

46:55.030 --> 46:56.690
there was about 20 angels

46:56.690 --> 46:58.170
they were all doing

46:58.170 --> 46:58.770
the same thing

46:58.770 --> 47:00.110
all directions

47:00.110 --> 47:01.730
just whipping the swords

47:01.730 --> 47:02.570
the swords come back

47:02.570 --> 47:03.110
they'd whip them

47:03.110 --> 47:04.050
and whip them and whip them

47:04.050 --> 47:07.110
and just warfare stuff going on

47:09.110 --> 47:10.670
Now if the band

47:10.670 --> 47:12.290
at that point is sensitive

47:14.230 --> 47:15.890
that's when you need a warfare zone

47:20.420 --> 47:21.520
that's not a time

47:21.520 --> 47:22.880
to get into soaking music

47:24.380 --> 47:25.560
you're going to miss everything

47:26.360 --> 47:28.200
because they are in the process

47:28.200 --> 47:33.200
This is the first sentence of defending the atmosphere. To keep it open. To keep it clean.

47:34.600 --> 47:38.360
Remember they do the bidding of the word of the Lord.

47:39.540 --> 47:48.240
It's time for us to be led by the Spirit to begin to declare warfare things.

47:49.030 --> 47:52.640
Which gives them more right to do what they're doing.

47:55.180 --> 47:59.080
I didn't use one of the clips because I thought it might freak you out.

48:00.380 --> 48:07.200
But there was numerous times in that 2009 Open Heavens. Jess was the predominant drummer.

48:09.300 --> 48:18.580
Numerous times we went into a war beat. Numerous times. Nothing playing, just the drums.

48:18.580 --> 48:22.780
And it just felt like we need to do some warfare right here, right now.

48:24.140 --> 48:29.580
If the heavens would be open to us every time, we would see why.

48:31.320 --> 48:34.280
But we're just following in the Spirit by faith.

48:35.260 --> 48:38.600
In the Holy Spirit saying you need to get into some warfare here.

48:39.020 --> 48:44.540
And start declaring who you are, what you are, and the victory, etc.

48:48.960 --> 48:53.200
If we don't, that's when you wander off what the Spirit wanted to happen.

48:54.220 --> 48:59.500
And the service will start slowly. It might be winding up.

49:00.220 --> 49:05.440
If you catch it, it'll just go. If you miss it, it'll just slowly start winding down.

49:07.660 --> 49:09.200
It's just how it works.

49:09.200 --> 49:13.520
Here's a picture of that sanctuary in the modular.

49:14.380 --> 49:18.620
Again, it went from about that flag to that flag. That was the full width.

49:19.520 --> 49:23.640
And it went out to about the second row. That was the whole sanctuary.

49:27.440 --> 49:34.420
Notice Mary and Felicia were over there cleaning this particular day.

49:35.540 --> 49:37.140
Do you want to share anything about this?

49:42.160 --> 49:44.960
Felicia might remember some other details of it.

49:45.500 --> 49:53.240
But in the modular, because everything had to be just so, we rearranged these chairs 15 different ways.

49:53.440 --> 49:57.240
Every possible formation just to try to fit more people in.

49:58.100 --> 50:00.160
And so we were out there cleaning.

50:00.160 --> 50:07.240
And at one point I said we got to take, because after a while you mark the floor where the chair is going to go.

50:07.280 --> 50:09.400
Because we could never get it right if someone else came in and cleaned.

50:09.900 --> 50:14.480
But we took a picture of the chairs. We were just out there cleaning.

50:15.740 --> 50:18.000
And then this is what happened.

50:19.140 --> 50:22.080
This was later, I believe, Felicia caught this.

50:22.820 --> 50:27.240
So they took a picture. Are you able to expand it at all from the computer? No.

50:28.220 --> 50:33.820
Bottom left-hand corner. I might be able to screen share that.

50:34.240 --> 50:36.560
Let's try it, because I can expand it then.

50:42.540 --> 50:45.840
You took the picture. Do you remember? Did you take the picture?

50:51.400 --> 50:53.020
Okay, there's that one.

50:59.900 --> 51:02.000
They caught a piece of an angel wing.

51:02.820 --> 51:05.880
Now is that the one that stood in that corner? I don't know.

51:07.780 --> 51:12.880
It doesn't look like bird feathers, but they're not a bird.

51:13.900 --> 51:14.740
They're angels.

51:18.940 --> 51:25.620
So there was a lot of activity, and I also want to say not all angels have wings.

51:25.620 --> 51:31.260
A lot of them don't have wings. That particular one did.

51:33.460 --> 51:38.380
So there was... that's just a piece of some of the activity.

51:40.900 --> 51:43.080
I don't have time to get into a bunch of it.

51:44.920 --> 51:46.780
Let's jump ahead and go to this building.

51:48.980 --> 51:51.280
Talk about some things here. I'm going to borrow the mic.

51:52.340 --> 51:59.960
At our first open heavens in 2013, that's when Jim was here.

52:00.080 --> 52:06.720
It was our first one in this building. Jim saw a well being dug.

52:08.000 --> 52:09.060
Could you describe that, please?

52:11.980 --> 52:18.300
Yeah, I was ministering on the platform, and all of a sudden the Lord gave me a vision out in front of me.

52:18.300 --> 52:23.280
And it was from the steps there, from the platform, all the way into the front row.

52:23.880 --> 52:27.620
So I don't know what that is. 10 feet, 12 feet, something like that.

52:28.040 --> 52:32.580
And it was round and circular. It's not like a traditional well.

52:32.720 --> 52:36.920
We think of a well now like an 8-inch pipe. You dig down and that's the well.

52:37.080 --> 52:42.000
That's where the water comes from. No, this was an open well that was like 10 to 12 feet.

52:42.580 --> 52:49.640
It was radius, round in diameter, and it was there.

52:50.140 --> 52:53.080
And then what I saw was it was an open well.

52:54.340 --> 52:58.740
And it had, as I would stand there and I would look this way toward the steps,

52:59.080 --> 53:03.520
it had steps going down into the well.

53:03.820 --> 53:07.820
It's kind of like those old wells maybe back in Jesus' time, way back when.

53:07.820 --> 53:13.000
And I don't know why, but it had steps that went down circular all the way down and around

53:13.000 --> 53:15.220
and around until it got down to the water.

53:15.780 --> 53:25.100
And then there's angels that are around that area also and around the rim of it.

53:25.400 --> 53:30.760
And they were like peering into the well. They were looking into it.

53:30.840 --> 53:32.940
There's water there. There's water there.

53:32.940 --> 53:36.180
Many times Mary has shared too about the wells.

53:36.300 --> 53:40.180
We got to re-dig the wells that were here before revival.

53:41.160 --> 53:43.100
And so there's a big well there.

53:43.640 --> 53:46.100
I know one time when I was ministering in one of the classes,

53:48.020 --> 53:50.960
the Lord even reaffirmed that because I was standing up there

53:50.960 --> 53:54.640
and it was really tough to stand anymore.

53:54.840 --> 53:59.540
I had to grab onto the platform and the stand that was there.

53:59.540 --> 54:02.760
And he said, well, you're standing in the well.

54:04.060 --> 54:07.020
He gave me a reason why it was so tough to stand there.

54:07.080 --> 54:08.400
You're standing in the well.

54:08.680 --> 54:11.360
And this is right where the angels were at also.

54:12.040 --> 54:14.040
I don't know if you want to go any further on other stuff.

54:14.080 --> 54:14.980
Hold the rest for a bit.

54:15.940 --> 54:18.000
So 2013, that was our first...

54:18.000 --> 54:20.240
We moved in here in December of 2012.

54:20.520 --> 54:22.520
So this was our first open heavens here.

54:24.320 --> 54:28.800
Our desire is for the open heavens that was at the modular to come here.

54:28.800 --> 54:31.440
And to establish here.

54:32.840 --> 54:34.220
And we were praying for that.

54:34.400 --> 54:35.920
We were, this is our right.

54:36.060 --> 54:37.000
This is our inheritance.

54:37.380 --> 54:39.380
This is our promise just because we moved locations.

54:39.520 --> 54:40.600
Doesn't mean it can't happen here.

54:42.180 --> 54:43.720
Remember how it happened over there?

54:43.800 --> 54:45.920
The guy saw a vision where the heavens were ripping open

54:45.920 --> 54:47.280
and the angels were placed.

54:48.020 --> 54:49.900
God rarely does the same thing twice.

54:51.340 --> 54:53.660
Here he said, you guys need to dig a well.

54:55.100 --> 54:57.020
If you want to open heavens, you need to dig a well.

54:57.020 --> 55:00.040
And that first open heavens meeting in 2013,

55:00.760 --> 55:04.960
I have no recollection that anything opened at all.

55:05.700 --> 55:06.080
Here.

55:07.740 --> 55:09.720
Our assignment was to dig a well.

55:09.920 --> 55:11.080
Now if you go to the book of John,

55:11.900 --> 55:15.340
the well that springs up is speaking of what?

55:21.350 --> 55:22.630
Nope, that's the river.

55:24.270 --> 55:25.810
John 4, I believe it is.

55:25.970 --> 55:27.350
And there will be a well.

55:27.350 --> 55:31.010
I think Jesus was doing evangelism.

55:31.510 --> 55:33.670
And he said, there will be a well in you springing up

55:34.530 --> 55:35.790
to eternal life.

55:40.100 --> 55:43.760
Wells in God's realm can depict a number of things,

55:44.140 --> 55:45.760
but it always starts with salvation.

55:47.820 --> 55:50.760
A well springs up for salvation.

55:52.380 --> 55:54.500
So at the end of 2010,

55:54.740 --> 55:57.420
he asked us a question that probably should be asked again.

55:59.380 --> 56:02.160
End of the open heaven meetings 2010.

56:03.880 --> 56:05.920
He said, why don't you love the lost?

56:10.300 --> 56:13.160
And see, that's one of the typical downfalls of churches.

56:14.640 --> 56:15.740
We get inward.

56:16.540 --> 56:17.880
We lose the outward.

56:19.040 --> 56:21.680
And everything becomes about us, our comfort.

56:22.080 --> 56:22.960
God bless me club.

56:25.200 --> 56:28.180
And so then at 2011, then Randy Mitchell came

56:28.180 --> 56:30.160
and he spoke on that specific subject

56:31.180 --> 56:34.540
of why don't Christians love the lost?

56:36.780 --> 56:39.060
So just as, and I don't want to raise hands,

56:39.360 --> 56:39.940
just a thought.

56:41.400 --> 56:44.320
How many of us have people in our lives

56:44.320 --> 56:47.180
who are unsaved that we are pursuing to get saved?

56:47.700 --> 56:48.640
Don't, I don't want to see any hands.

56:49.280 --> 56:52.240
Just, this is a check.

56:53.060 --> 56:54.240
Do we love the lost?

56:54.940 --> 56:57.540
Are there any unsaved in our life

56:57.540 --> 56:59.280
we are pursuing to get saved?

57:01.480 --> 57:03.920
Even something as simple as

57:05.260 --> 57:07.240
how many of us have

57:08.160 --> 57:10.580
two to however many,

57:11.540 --> 57:13.440
unsaved people we're working with,

57:13.700 --> 57:15.960
we're in the family with,

57:16.040 --> 57:20.000
whatever, that we pray for regularly

57:20.350 --> 57:21.400
for their salvation?

57:25.670 --> 57:27.690
Do you know that statistically

57:27.690 --> 57:29.270
most Christians don't do either one?

57:30.570 --> 57:32.270
We're not praying for the lost

57:33.410 --> 57:35.230
and we're not trying to befriend them

57:35.230 --> 57:36.190
so we can get them saved.

57:37.210 --> 57:38.530
Do you know who we buddy up with?

57:39.550 --> 57:41.290
Other Christians who think just like us.

57:41.830 --> 57:43.390
Because see, that's what's comfortable.

57:44.990 --> 57:47.950
And as a result, we lose our evangelism edge.

57:50.050 --> 57:53.750
The church was never designed to be exclusive.

57:54.130 --> 57:55.130
You guys all stay away.

57:55.130 --> 57:57.210
One of you wonders in now and then we'll rejoice.

57:57.650 --> 57:59.110
But other than that, it's all about us.

58:00.570 --> 58:05.250
The church is the evangelism tool of the kingdom.

58:07.290 --> 58:10.770
And evangelism should be at the forefront of everything we do.

58:12.770 --> 58:18.190
That well is representing salvation.

58:19.370 --> 58:24.150
And digging down until salvation start flowing.

58:26.930 --> 58:29.490
That was our assignment. That was our job.

58:31.030 --> 58:32.090
Go after that.

58:34.750 --> 58:36.790
Side thought, this is interesting to me.

58:37.530 --> 58:41.130
There's four or five people who have seen that well

58:41.130 --> 58:43.130
and described it just like Jim described it.

58:43.590 --> 58:45.090
Without ever having talked to him.

58:46.170 --> 58:48.470
They've seen it and they explained it to me and this how it looks.

58:51.490 --> 58:54.070
Pastor, do you know there's a well in the middle of the...

58:54.070 --> 58:56.810
I said, yeah. I have never seen it.

58:59.670 --> 59:00.710
I have never seen it.

59:02.250 --> 59:03.650
But numerous people have.

59:05.630 --> 59:08.550
So God picks and chooses what He wants us to see.

59:14.260 --> 59:17.060
Why did we get the assignment to dig the well?

59:18.380 --> 59:22.220
It directly correlates to why God wants to open the heavens.

59:26.410 --> 59:28.490
Why does God want to open the heavens?

59:29.610 --> 59:36.710
Why did God give Abraham an open heavens so that his lineage would continue to carry on?

59:38.210 --> 59:46.170
Because all the families of the earth would be blessed through him.

59:47.710 --> 59:48.770
How did that happen?

59:51.810 --> 59:54.610
How did all the families of the earth get in a position?

59:54.790 --> 59:56.190
They could be blessed through Abraham.

59:57.410 --> 01:00:00.590
Who brought the Messiah into the earth?

01:00:02.530 --> 01:00:03.530
Abraham's lineage.

01:00:07.600 --> 01:00:15.720
God exchanging Jesus giving him to die for us on the basis of Abraham gave Isaac to die.

01:00:15.880 --> 01:00:20.380
That exchange symbol was about one thing.

01:00:20.640 --> 01:00:23.700
Getting Jesus into this earth, Jesus came to seek and save the lost.

01:00:24.620 --> 01:00:27.740
We needed his sacrifice so we could be saved.

01:00:30.970 --> 01:00:36.550
Open heavens are not about a blasphemy club.

01:00:38.870 --> 01:00:42.350
They're not about a badge we can wear.

01:00:43.350 --> 01:00:47.570
Well, if people just knew what we have, that's how you lose it.

01:00:48.170 --> 01:00:49.210
It's called pride.

01:00:52.930 --> 01:00:55.950
Open heavens open for a reason.

01:00:59.090 --> 01:01:02.710
To keep a heaven open, you have to stay in the reason.

01:01:06.140 --> 01:01:07.660
So let me jump ahead.

01:01:07.920 --> 01:01:11.280
This is 13, so let me jump ahead 12 years now.

01:01:13.200 --> 01:01:17.520
Last spring, when we said,

01:01:19.180 --> 01:01:22.240
okay, if we absolutely need to,

01:01:23.540 --> 01:01:29.620
if you absolutely want us to set up a building and get ready for what's coming, fine.

01:01:30.080 --> 01:01:30.820
We'll do that.

01:01:33.300 --> 01:01:35.880
If we would have said no,

01:01:37.980 --> 01:01:40.100
the open heavens would have closed right here.

01:01:40.740 --> 01:01:42.640
No reason for them, no need for them anymore.

01:01:43.840 --> 01:01:44.780
There's no purpose.

01:01:45.960 --> 01:01:49.000
They're given for a purpose, and I'm just hitting the basic one now.

01:01:50.620 --> 01:01:53.040
You have to keep obeying God.

01:01:53.300 --> 01:01:55.200
You have to keep following God.

01:01:55.920 --> 01:02:00.080
If you don't, then what happens is

01:02:02.840 --> 01:02:06.420
everything closes up and goes dry.

01:02:09.620 --> 01:02:12.580
Because the reason, and it's right here, it's right above the well.

01:02:12.580 --> 01:02:16.640
I've never seen the well, but in a bit here I'm going to describe the open heavens that I've seen.

01:02:16.900 --> 01:02:21.740
And there's, again, about six people who've described it to me,

01:02:21.760 --> 01:02:24.700
and I never told them anything, and they described the exact same thing to me.

01:02:25.020 --> 01:02:27.380
Oh, it's Julie who was here. She's one of them who described it to me.

01:02:28.520 --> 01:02:30.900
But I want to play a little video for you.

01:02:30.960 --> 01:02:31.920
It comes off of Instagram.

01:02:36.040 --> 01:02:37.740
And let me see.

01:02:37.980 --> 01:02:41.860
I don't like Instagram because it automatically starts playing when it wants to.

01:02:43.400 --> 01:02:45.680
So let me see if I can get this set.

01:02:49.640 --> 01:02:56.420
I want you to notice something because it has to do with the angels that were at the property

01:02:56.420 --> 01:02:59.740
that either they came or others came in their place.

01:03:00.160 --> 01:03:05.540
But once the angels finally came, so I want you to notice the size,

01:03:05.660 --> 01:03:07.060
and I'll point them out to you.

01:03:08.380 --> 01:03:10.660
See if it brings up the right one. There we are.

01:03:10.660 --> 01:03:15.620
Okay, so now I will try to screen share this.

01:03:17.420 --> 01:03:20.120
When it's happening, I'll say that one.

01:03:20.240 --> 01:03:23.360
Did you know that God assigns angels to watch over certain people?

01:03:24.080 --> 01:03:28.760
According to Hebrews 1.14, angels are heavenly beings sent by God

01:03:28.760 --> 01:03:30.980
to serve those who will receive salvation.

01:03:31.780 --> 01:03:35.560
Those who belong to God are supported by health that comes directly from heaven.

01:03:35.880 --> 01:03:39.100
It's not about a winged figure hovering over your shoulder,

01:03:39.100 --> 01:03:40.700
but a spiritual truth.

01:03:41.540 --> 01:03:45.280
God sends messengers, protectors, and helpers from above

01:03:45.280 --> 01:03:47.920
who step in during key moments of their life.

01:03:48.840 --> 01:03:53.760
Psalm 34-7 reminds us that the angel of the Lord surrounds and defends those

01:03:53.760 --> 01:03:56.980
who step in during key moments of your life.

01:03:57.560 --> 01:04:02.520
Psalm 34-7 reminds us that the angel of the Lord surrounds and defends

01:04:02.520 --> 01:04:03.560
those who honor him.

01:04:03.620 --> 01:04:07.980
You might not see them, but when something works out against all odds,

01:04:07.980 --> 01:04:09.580
when peace replaces two.

01:04:09.960 --> 01:04:12.140
And the size that we're talking about.

01:04:12.980 --> 01:04:18.520
Because it'll give you something to correlate with as I share this.

01:04:19.680 --> 01:04:22.220
The open heavens of 2014.

01:04:23.020 --> 01:04:25.860
This is a year after we got in here.

01:04:25.960 --> 01:04:27.180
The first one was 2013.

01:04:27.980 --> 01:04:32.120
A year later, first week of January 2014, we were having meetings again.

01:04:33.420 --> 01:04:37.180
We were focused on digging that well

01:04:37.180 --> 01:04:41.180
and doing everything we could to follow and obey what God was asking us to do

01:04:41.180 --> 01:04:42.780
all of 2013.

01:04:45.220 --> 01:04:48.120
2014, Thursday evening, the 9th.

01:04:49.080 --> 01:04:55.020
During praise and worship, I saw a large 20-foot-plus angel.

01:04:55.600 --> 01:04:57.860
That's about like those two you saw in there.

01:04:58.660 --> 01:04:59.780
Just massive.

01:05:01.640 --> 01:05:05.040
With wings on the west side of the building on the outside.

01:05:05.740 --> 01:05:09.660
He was one of the angels who came Tuesday night when we welcomed them

01:05:09.660 --> 01:05:12.280
and asked for those who are commissioned to be here.

01:05:12.740 --> 01:05:13.700
So this was Thursday.

01:05:14.260 --> 01:05:18.180
So on Tuesday, as a congregation, we asked for the angels

01:05:18.180 --> 01:05:21.980
that are given to us, assigned to us.

01:05:22.860 --> 01:05:24.020
You say, how do you know they are?

01:05:24.520 --> 01:05:27.040
Book of Revelation, the seven churches.

01:05:27.700 --> 01:05:29.180
Look up the word messenger.

01:05:30.000 --> 01:05:32.400
And to the messenger of the church of Thyatira,

01:05:32.560 --> 01:05:34.820
to the messenger, that word messenger is angel.

01:05:36.940 --> 01:05:40.360
Every church is supposed to have angel one, for sure.

01:05:41.420 --> 01:05:44.080
Of course, if you go to Hebrews, there's supposed to be

01:05:44.800 --> 01:05:46.340
innumerable number of angels here.

01:05:47.160 --> 01:05:49.740
So we were asking for what is our right.

01:05:49.920 --> 01:05:51.240
We want these angels here.

01:05:51.420 --> 01:05:53.300
We did that on Tuesday night, Thursday night.

01:05:54.600 --> 01:05:57.760
When I saw him, he was spinning in praise and worship,

01:05:58.240 --> 01:06:00.620
right outside, just almost like right behind the platform.

01:06:01.100 --> 01:06:01.880
He was just spinning.

01:06:03.100 --> 01:06:05.840
He was motioning exaltation toward the heavens.

01:06:06.000 --> 01:06:07.240
He'd spin and then he'd stop.

01:06:07.720 --> 01:06:09.900
And with his arms and his wings and unison,

01:06:10.060 --> 01:06:13.900
he would offer up exaltation to the heavens.

01:06:15.020 --> 01:06:17.460
Now remember, he's about 20 feet tall.

01:06:18.340 --> 01:06:21.420
This wall is about 12 feet, 11 and a half.

01:06:21.420 --> 01:06:23.620
So he's way up there.

01:06:24.140 --> 01:06:24.480
Big kid.

01:06:26.500 --> 01:06:29.580
Then in one of the songs, he began doing something different.

01:06:29.760 --> 01:06:31.220
He would be standing on the ground,

01:06:32.280 --> 01:06:35.320
just kind of like looking this way when he's out there.

01:06:36.020 --> 01:06:38.820
And he'd quickly lift both wings straight up.

01:06:38.960 --> 01:06:40.380
Not his arms, just his wings.

01:06:41.100 --> 01:06:43.400
And he would rise up into the air

01:06:43.400 --> 01:06:47.320
so that his feet were probably about 30 feet off the ground.

01:06:47.320 --> 01:06:51.360
Then he would put both wings down very quickly

01:06:51.360 --> 01:06:53.360
and he...

01:06:53.360 --> 01:06:56.700
It's like driving a post into the ground with a post driver.

01:06:57.340 --> 01:06:58.300
He just went...

01:06:58.300 --> 01:06:59.980
and hit the ground.

01:07:01.040 --> 01:07:03.140
And I could feel the things shake.

01:07:03.920 --> 01:07:06.880
And he put his wings up and up and down.

01:07:07.320 --> 01:07:08.500
Up and down.

01:07:08.980 --> 01:07:11.400
Up and that's when I realized there was more than one

01:07:12.180 --> 01:07:14.560
around the property, doing the exact same thing.

01:07:15.280 --> 01:07:18.020
Hitting the ground with extreme force.

01:07:19.980 --> 01:07:22.920
I saw three on each fence line besides the corners.

01:07:23.680 --> 01:07:24.940
Every corner had one.

01:07:25.440 --> 01:07:28.000
And then in between three on each fence line.

01:07:28.820 --> 01:07:30.520
I don't know if there were more or not.

01:07:30.640 --> 01:07:32.540
They were doing this in unison over and over.

01:07:33.680 --> 01:07:36.560
And I was wondering, what in the world are they doing?

01:07:37.560 --> 01:07:39.000
And the Holy Spirit said,

01:07:39.000 --> 01:07:42.700
they're causing the demonic spirit realm to be terrified of this place.

01:07:47.160 --> 01:07:48.280
That would do it.

01:07:50.180 --> 01:07:53.720
I remember once he crashed down so hard he couldn't stand

01:07:53.720 --> 01:07:55.400
and he went down to one knee.

01:07:55.700 --> 01:07:58.940
He hit so hard everything just would shake in the spirit.

01:08:00.060 --> 01:08:02.140
I asked, well, why are there so many of them

01:08:02.140 --> 01:08:03.700
compared to the modular we had four?

01:08:04.460 --> 01:08:07.220
Here we've got five and then

01:08:07.220 --> 01:08:10.120
well three and three and three and three and then one on each corner.

01:08:10.540 --> 01:08:11.600
So you've got 16.

01:08:13.400 --> 01:08:17.480
He said because he knew what was coming here.

01:08:19.120 --> 01:08:21.300
I didn't see any weapons at this time.

01:08:23.180 --> 01:08:26.920
I knew they were some kind of warrior guarding, protecting angels.

01:08:27.400 --> 01:08:29.300
Not sure what. Didn't see anything.

01:08:30.200 --> 01:08:33.320
So then this was Thursday the 9th.

01:08:33.320 --> 01:08:35.660
Saturday night the 11th.

01:08:36.520 --> 01:08:39.180
I'm on the floor over here like I did tonight face down

01:08:39.720 --> 01:08:41.180
and I saw his boots.

01:08:42.440 --> 01:08:45.700
And they were like Roman style boots and they went up to the knee

01:08:47.420 --> 01:08:50.380
and during praise and worship the one on the west side here

01:08:50.380 --> 01:08:52.560
I presume they were all doing this in unison.

01:08:52.660 --> 01:08:53.640
I only see this one.

01:08:55.160 --> 01:08:59.220
He was oscillating his arms and wings in worship

01:08:59.980 --> 01:09:02.080
and his wings and his arms were in unison

01:09:02.080 --> 01:09:03.180
and it looked like this.

01:09:05.500 --> 01:09:08.820
And he was in time with the song.

01:09:09.300 --> 01:09:13.280
It was a slower song and he was just oscillating in worship

01:09:14.140 --> 01:09:16.720
and when the song was over he bowed down

01:09:16.720 --> 01:09:19.200
and totally covered himself. Couldn't see him at all.

01:09:19.520 --> 01:09:21.320
He covered himself totally with his wings.

01:09:23.100 --> 01:09:25.540
The next day Sunday the 12th.

01:09:25.560 --> 01:09:27.540
Before service I saw his lower half.

01:09:27.540 --> 01:09:30.960
He's standing with a large sword, point down

01:09:31.820 --> 01:09:34.980
both hands resting on top of the heel of the sword.

01:09:35.200 --> 01:09:36.620
So he's got a large sword now.

01:09:37.100 --> 01:09:39.280
Both hands resting on top, point is down.

01:09:40.100 --> 01:09:44.260
During praise and worship Dean and Eugene and Sam

01:09:44.880 --> 01:09:46.460
not that same different Sam

01:09:47.200 --> 01:09:49.100
started dancing around the sanctuary.

01:09:50.340 --> 01:09:51.400
You remember that Dean?

01:09:51.960 --> 01:09:52.820
I don't know if you remember that.

01:09:53.020 --> 01:09:54.400
It's back a few years already.

01:09:55.140 --> 01:09:58.760
You guys started doing around.

01:10:00.820 --> 01:10:06.600
As they did that his sword which he had both hands resting on top

01:10:06.600 --> 01:10:09.880
began to burn like it was on fire, a flame.

01:10:11.380 --> 01:10:12.980
So he took it and he lifted it.

01:10:13.080 --> 01:10:15.340
The flame height was a few inches off the sword.

01:10:16.280 --> 01:10:19.820
We continued to praise and he would move the flaming sword

01:10:19.820 --> 01:10:21.720
around over his head in the front of him.

01:10:21.720 --> 01:10:25.780
The movements were a mixture of smooth and warlike.

01:10:26.300 --> 01:10:29.960
Some were like praise, others were like war kind of stuff.

01:10:30.800 --> 01:10:32.980
He did this for the rest of the faster songs.

01:10:33.260 --> 01:10:35.940
I noticed during this time that his wings were almost not visible.

01:10:36.520 --> 01:10:38.660
He is able to fold them up on his back

01:10:38.660 --> 01:10:41.960
so that they are almost not able to be seen at all.

01:10:42.760 --> 01:10:45.340
When we all knelt in worship he knelt down

01:10:45.340 --> 01:10:46.540
with his face to the ground.

01:10:47.080 --> 01:10:50.000
He covered himself again completely with his wings

01:10:50.660 --> 01:10:53.220
which we see that happening in the book of Ezekiel.

01:10:55.000 --> 01:10:57.120
He covered himself totally with his wings.

01:10:57.380 --> 01:10:59.360
He laid the sword out in front of him.

01:10:59.420 --> 01:11:01.060
The point was pointing towards us.

01:11:01.920 --> 01:11:05.160
And the fire, it was still flaming a few inches off the sword

01:11:05.160 --> 01:11:08.720
it just continued to burn as we were praising and worshiping.

01:11:09.560 --> 01:11:15.080
So this was a year later that the perimeter angels

01:11:15.080 --> 01:11:16.360
established here.

01:11:17.280 --> 01:11:19.960
It didn't just happen because oh God we want them to come

01:11:19.960 --> 01:11:20.660
this, that and the other.

01:11:21.020 --> 01:11:24.240
There is a pursuit after the rights that are ours.

01:11:25.300 --> 01:11:27.560
After the things that belong to us.

01:11:28.220 --> 01:11:29.220
We want them.

01:11:29.460 --> 01:11:31.380
So you have to know it belongs to you.

01:11:31.620 --> 01:11:33.800
Or you can't pursue it.

01:11:35.480 --> 01:11:38.640
So that's the first time I saw...

01:11:38.640 --> 01:11:40.020
I like sitting over here.

01:11:40.640 --> 01:11:42.340
In case you haven't noticed we sit over there.

01:11:43.240 --> 01:11:46.260
That was the first time I saw this thing right here.

01:11:47.380 --> 01:11:50.200
It's an upside down funnel shape.

01:11:50.560 --> 01:11:52.020
It comes down to about here.

01:11:52.560 --> 01:11:53.960
It goes up and down a little bit.

01:11:54.180 --> 01:11:56.220
But generally it's about right there.

01:11:57.240 --> 01:11:58.840
Upside down funnel shape.

01:11:59.640 --> 01:12:02.120
That is completely comprised of angels.

01:12:02.760 --> 01:12:04.480
It's totally made of angels.

01:12:05.180 --> 01:12:07.220
There's a hole that goes up in the middle of it

01:12:07.220 --> 01:12:08.500
that goes all the way up to heaven.

01:12:09.000 --> 01:12:11.260
There's angels that surround it all the way up.

01:12:12.200 --> 01:12:15.660
And this thing is always working.

01:12:16.120 --> 01:12:17.320
Jim, have you ever seen this?

01:12:18.000 --> 01:12:18.660
You've seen this?

01:12:18.800 --> 01:12:19.880
Okay, I'll have you share it here in a bit.

01:12:20.740 --> 01:12:21.680
Julie has seen it.

01:12:22.020 --> 01:12:23.220
There's a few people who have seen it.

01:12:24.860 --> 01:12:27.480
Like for instance, Tuesday night prayer.

01:12:28.000 --> 01:12:29.320
I was sitting right here.

01:12:33.660 --> 01:12:35.360
And as we were praying

01:12:35.980 --> 01:12:37.960
it's like the funnel closed a bit.

01:12:38.440 --> 01:12:40.940
And it typically is about the size of the well you described.

01:12:41.500 --> 01:12:42.480
It closed a bit.

01:12:43.060 --> 01:12:45.140
And I couldn't see any individual angel.

01:12:45.140 --> 01:12:47.180
Everything was spinning so fast

01:12:47.760 --> 01:12:49.160
that it was just a blur.

01:12:50.220 --> 01:12:52.660
And I was looking up into the inside of it here.

01:12:53.080 --> 01:12:53.740
Just the blur.

01:12:54.320 --> 01:12:56.120
And it was like a big vacuum cleaner.

01:12:56.220 --> 01:12:56.860
It was just sucking.

01:12:58.600 --> 01:13:00.400
As we were praying and interceding

01:13:00.400 --> 01:13:03.120
it was just sucking it.

01:13:04.120 --> 01:13:05.300
Right into heaven.

01:13:07.000 --> 01:13:10.120
It is the most...

01:13:10.120 --> 01:13:12.140
When the Lord lets me see it

01:13:12.140 --> 01:13:13.620
it's the most entertaining thing

01:13:14.660 --> 01:13:16.600
because it's always different.

01:13:18.260 --> 01:13:19.520
They're always different.

01:13:19.640 --> 01:13:20.900
One time during praise and worship

01:13:22.160 --> 01:13:24.780
and space is not like it is on earth.

01:13:25.440 --> 01:13:30.480
You can't describe how size or space works in the spirit realm.

01:13:30.980 --> 01:13:32.580
But the angels in the funnel

01:13:32.580 --> 01:13:34.060
all were with their wings out

01:13:34.660 --> 01:13:36.460
and they were fluttering.

01:13:37.780 --> 01:13:41.520
And it was row after row after row after row after row.

01:13:41.520 --> 01:13:43.320
And they're just fluttering their wings.

01:13:43.720 --> 01:13:45.580
And you can see the praise and worship

01:13:45.580 --> 01:13:47.220
come from different people

01:13:47.220 --> 01:13:50.060
like light, like little strands of light.

01:13:50.740 --> 01:13:52.020
And it would come

01:13:52.940 --> 01:13:54.740
and as they fluttered

01:13:54.740 --> 01:13:56.720
it would suck up in there and go

01:13:56.720 --> 01:13:58.020
it was gone.

01:13:58.880 --> 01:13:59.920
And they were fluttering.

01:14:06.040 --> 01:14:07.660
This may sound odd.

01:14:08.820 --> 01:14:11.520
That's why I say it's entertaining sometimes.

01:14:12.640 --> 01:14:17.640
When we get going in good praise

01:14:17.640 --> 01:14:21.100
and it's lively, it's moving

01:14:21.660 --> 01:14:24.820
they oftentimes will dance in choreography.

01:14:26.440 --> 01:14:28.140
Every row is doing...

01:14:28.140 --> 01:14:28.880
There's different rows.

01:14:29.480 --> 01:14:30.860
They're kind of stacked.

01:14:31.800 --> 01:14:34.160
And every row is doing something different

01:14:34.160 --> 01:14:35.560
but everyone in that row

01:14:35.560 --> 01:14:36.680
is doing the exact same thing.

01:14:37.920 --> 01:14:39.880
And one row will be spinning this way

01:14:39.880 --> 01:14:41.440
and they'll be making motions

01:14:41.440 --> 01:14:45.360
and they're all exactly doing the same thing.

01:14:45.700 --> 01:14:47.320
The other row is spinning the other way

01:14:47.320 --> 01:14:49.320
and they're doing...

01:14:49.320 --> 01:14:50.700
I almost laughed one time

01:14:50.700 --> 01:14:52.880
because it was...

01:14:53.600 --> 01:14:55.300
it was like almost...

01:14:55.300 --> 01:14:56.460
how can I compare it?

01:14:56.820 --> 01:14:58.220
To like an Egyptian thing.

01:15:00.820 --> 01:15:01.500
And they were...

01:15:01.500 --> 01:15:02.600
everything was with the hands

01:15:02.600 --> 01:15:04.260
and they were bopping a little bit.

01:15:04.260 --> 01:15:06.280
And the other row was doing that.

01:15:07.160 --> 01:15:09.420
Mostly in white, but their outfits change.

01:15:09.900 --> 01:15:10.600
They change color.

01:15:14.180 --> 01:15:16.800
This is active all the time.

01:15:18.940 --> 01:15:20.540
You want to speak into it a little bit?

01:15:20.900 --> 01:15:21.900
Sally, have you seen that?

01:15:22.380 --> 01:15:24.260
I know you've seen things, but...

01:15:27.020 --> 01:15:29.400
Yeah, there's times you mentioned

01:15:29.400 --> 01:15:30.780
before the angels twist.

01:15:32.220 --> 01:15:33.340
Spin, I think he is.

01:15:34.260 --> 01:15:36.080
I use the word twirl.

01:15:36.600 --> 01:15:38.720
There's twirlers that come here.

01:15:39.400 --> 01:15:41.600
Has anybody ever seen twirling angels?

01:15:42.060 --> 01:15:43.340
Maybe in this house?

01:15:44.060 --> 01:15:44.800
Here's one.

01:15:45.080 --> 01:15:45.380
A few of you.

01:15:45.580 --> 01:15:46.660
A few of you here.

01:15:47.480 --> 01:15:47.920
They'll come.

01:15:48.340 --> 01:15:50.220
It is entertaining.

01:15:50.540 --> 01:15:52.420
It's when you really get into an atmosphere

01:15:52.420 --> 01:15:54.320
of praise and worship

01:15:54.320 --> 01:15:57.000
and then up they go and whoop.

01:15:57.600 --> 01:15:59.180
And then they go...

01:15:59.180 --> 01:16:00.780
you know, come back down.

01:16:00.780 --> 01:16:03.340
And it's just, it's exciting to see

01:16:03.340 --> 01:16:04.760
what they join in with us.

01:16:04.880 --> 01:16:06.980
Just like last Friday night

01:16:06.980 --> 01:16:10.120
we had where we played a little bit of the music

01:16:10.120 --> 01:16:12.000
at another Rodney's place

01:16:12.000 --> 01:16:13.980
where the angels joined in

01:16:13.980 --> 01:16:15.840
for praise and worship there,

01:16:16.020 --> 01:16:18.460
singing with them for two hours.

01:16:19.220 --> 01:16:21.720
And we had that experience personally

01:16:21.720 --> 01:16:23.480
with us when we went down to Brazil

01:16:23.480 --> 01:16:25.240
and we were at a meeting.

01:16:25.520 --> 01:16:26.420
That same thing happened.

01:16:26.620 --> 01:16:27.700
The angels sang with us.

01:16:27.960 --> 01:16:29.580
I'm sure there's times when the angels

01:16:29.580 --> 01:16:32.060
have sang with us here also.

01:16:32.600 --> 01:16:34.500
And so I encourage you to be praying.

01:16:34.880 --> 01:16:36.320
You know, it's one of the gifts of the spirit

01:16:36.320 --> 01:16:38.340
is discerning of spirits.

01:16:38.760 --> 01:16:42.020
You know, that's seen into the spirit realm.

01:16:42.460 --> 01:16:43.880
And so pray for that.

01:16:44.140 --> 01:16:45.600
Pray for that to take place.

01:16:45.880 --> 01:16:47.900
And for you, as God wills.

01:16:47.940 --> 01:16:48.060
Remember?

01:16:48.500 --> 01:16:49.320
In 1 Corinthians.

01:16:49.640 --> 01:16:50.900
As God wills.

01:16:50.960 --> 01:16:52.080
Don't be pushing, pressing.

01:16:52.520 --> 01:16:53.380
I got to see an angel.

01:16:53.520 --> 01:16:54.300
I got to see an angel

01:16:54.300 --> 01:16:58.080
because the devil will provide you

01:16:58.080 --> 01:16:59.540
with what looks like that.

01:16:59.600 --> 01:17:01.360
I had that happen a long time ago

01:17:01.360 --> 01:17:02.220
when I was a young Christian.

01:17:02.800 --> 01:17:04.620
Like a light appeared on my wall

01:17:04.620 --> 01:17:05.260
in my bedroom.

01:17:05.580 --> 01:17:07.000
And it wasn't from God.

01:17:07.440 --> 01:17:09.640
And so you want to be careful.

01:17:10.440 --> 01:17:12.820
And the other thing you want me to do

01:17:12.820 --> 01:17:14.500
is tell them about the river now.

01:17:14.700 --> 01:17:14.980
Go ahead.

01:17:15.820 --> 01:17:17.180
The well was here.

01:17:17.440 --> 01:17:19.480
Then again we were in some meetings

01:17:19.480 --> 01:17:22.140
with the open Holy Spirit meetings.

01:17:22.740 --> 01:17:24.520
And I was up there and the Lord

01:17:24.520 --> 01:17:25.640
opened my eyes again.

01:17:25.760 --> 01:17:26.760
And I saw the well.

01:17:26.760 --> 01:17:29.340
But then I also saw the river.

01:17:30.020 --> 01:17:32.560
And that's when we changed kind of the

01:17:32.560 --> 01:17:34.420
even the abs for it.

01:17:34.520 --> 01:17:36.900
If you see it now for those that says

01:17:36.900 --> 01:17:37.740
come join us.

01:17:37.880 --> 01:17:38.600
Jump in the river.

01:17:38.840 --> 01:17:39.560
Come, you know.

01:17:39.600 --> 01:17:41.440
And we have John 737 and 8.

01:17:41.800 --> 01:17:44.380
And I saw a river coming from those

01:17:44.380 --> 01:17:46.100
doors over there, the north doors

01:17:46.100 --> 01:17:47.960
and flowing right through here

01:17:47.960 --> 01:17:50.820
and going all the way out this door.

01:17:50.980 --> 01:17:53.000
And then I saw the other river

01:17:53.000 --> 01:17:54.920
come from the platform here

01:17:54.920 --> 01:17:57.540
and go out this way and go out the double doors.

01:17:57.960 --> 01:17:59.420
And so there's like a crisscross

01:17:59.420 --> 01:18:01.280
north, south, east, west river

01:18:01.800 --> 01:18:03.240
that's now extended there.

01:18:03.640 --> 01:18:05.300
And that is where I believe like

01:18:05.300 --> 01:18:07.580
what God is wanting us to jump into the river

01:18:07.580 --> 01:18:10.620
get into the flow of the Holy Spirit.

01:18:10.940 --> 01:18:12.240
And that's where we need to be.

01:18:12.900 --> 01:18:13.840
We need to be there.

01:18:13.940 --> 01:18:17.180
We can't be content with where we're at.

01:18:17.980 --> 01:18:20.520
There is so, so, so much more

01:18:20.520 --> 01:18:23.540
of God that we have not tapped into.

01:18:24.100 --> 01:18:25.780
That we haven't pressed into.

01:18:26.000 --> 01:18:27.380
We've lost that first love.

01:18:27.720 --> 01:18:29.760
We've lost that passion on the inside.

01:18:29.880 --> 01:18:32.560
We've become content with what we have.

01:18:33.340 --> 01:18:34.780
And God's not happy with that.

01:18:35.480 --> 01:18:36.760
He's not happy with that.

01:18:36.880 --> 01:18:38.960
You're getting to that place of being lukewarm.

01:18:39.400 --> 01:18:41.540
Even in a full gospel spirit field church.

01:18:41.940 --> 01:18:42.980
So you got to be careful.

01:18:43.120 --> 01:18:44.260
You want to keep on pressing in.

01:18:44.560 --> 01:18:46.440
Anything else you want me to go subject-wise?

01:18:46.440 --> 01:18:47.040
That's good for now.

01:18:47.500 --> 01:18:47.600
Okay.

01:18:47.820 --> 01:18:48.640
I might come back to you.

01:18:48.860 --> 01:18:49.120
All right.

01:18:49.580 --> 01:18:50.680
I sent you an email.

01:18:52.240 --> 01:18:54.200
So, I'll need that in a bit.

01:18:56.540 --> 01:18:58.640
Remember, we don't worship angels.

01:18:59.460 --> 01:18:59.900
Yeah, amen.

01:19:01.240 --> 01:19:03.100
Seeing angels is not the big thing.

01:19:04.360 --> 01:19:06.380
It's getting into the presence of God

01:19:06.380 --> 01:19:07.940
to where they, remember,

01:19:08.180 --> 01:19:10.320
they do the bidding of the word of the Lord.

01:19:10.700 --> 01:19:11.040
Yeah.

01:19:11.620 --> 01:19:13.840
When we are in heartfelt,

01:19:13.980 --> 01:19:16.880
spirit-led worship,

01:19:18.200 --> 01:19:19.700
they go totally to work.

01:19:21.180 --> 01:19:23.780
I mean, it's just like giving them assignments.

01:19:23.980 --> 01:19:25.120
It just releases them.

01:19:25.660 --> 01:19:28.100
When we sing to God

01:19:28.100 --> 01:19:31.160
and declare what he has for us,

01:19:31.480 --> 01:19:33.720
they are being given their assignments.

01:19:35.360 --> 01:19:36.680
There's times...

01:19:36.680 --> 01:19:39.960
I don't know if it was you or who somebody...

01:19:39.960 --> 01:19:44.360
I've seen this once, maybe twice.

01:19:46.420 --> 01:19:48.200
I'm getting ahead of myself a little bit,

01:19:48.200 --> 01:19:49.660
but it's there somehow, say it.

01:19:50.040 --> 01:19:51.080
It's like a dome.

01:19:52.440 --> 01:19:55.840
And all you can see is basically from this up,

01:19:56.080 --> 01:19:58.900
heads, and it's just a dome

01:20:00.400 --> 01:20:03.120
of thousands of angels watching us.

01:20:05.420 --> 01:20:06.920
You say, well, where would that be in Scripture?

01:20:07.320 --> 01:20:09.040
Well, I'll show you Scripture here in a bit in the PowerPoint,

01:20:09.200 --> 01:20:12.260
but it talks about angels are longing

01:20:12.260 --> 01:20:15.680
to look into what we have here.

01:20:15.680 --> 01:20:19.980
And there's times they gather and they just look in.

01:20:23.360 --> 01:20:25.560
Seeing them, is that in Scripture?

01:20:27.320 --> 01:20:28.520
It's called a vision.

01:20:30.860 --> 01:20:33.700
Last days, Acts chapter 2.

01:20:34.740 --> 01:20:36.460
In the last days,

01:20:37.480 --> 01:20:40.480
I will pour out my spirit, God says.

01:20:40.620 --> 01:20:41.900
I think it's about verse 10 or 11.

01:20:42.920 --> 01:20:47.100
And he talks about three things that has to happen

01:20:47.100 --> 01:20:48.120
in the last days.

01:20:48.900 --> 01:20:52.640
Dreams, visions, and prophecy.

01:20:55.760 --> 01:21:01.860
It is our mandate to see visions,

01:21:02.680 --> 01:21:07.020
to dream dreams, and to speak forth for God.

01:21:08.420 --> 01:21:09.440
It's a mandate.

01:21:09.440 --> 01:21:14.480
It's what is supposed to be happening in the last days.

01:21:15.020 --> 01:21:17.080
Well, when you start seeing visions,

01:21:17.220 --> 01:21:19.260
then you start seeing stuff that's going on around you.

01:21:19.540 --> 01:21:20.640
It just happens.

01:21:21.500 --> 01:21:22.860
I'm going to give you one more.

01:21:26.400 --> 01:21:28.220
And we'll see where it goes from there.

01:21:29.800 --> 01:21:32.620
This was December 6, 2015.

01:21:33.900 --> 01:21:36.680
There was a strong move of the Spirit in praise and worship.

01:21:36.940 --> 01:21:38.180
No preaching happened that morning.

01:21:38.180 --> 01:21:39.960
It was just all praise and worship that morning.

01:21:40.600 --> 01:21:43.300
During the singing, I saw pulses of light

01:21:43.300 --> 01:21:47.280
going out from this funnel.

01:21:47.720 --> 01:21:49.720
It's like it was instead of going in,

01:21:50.300 --> 01:21:53.960
it was pulses of light coming out.

01:21:54.300 --> 01:21:56.520
Just not all the time, just pulses of it.

01:22:02.260 --> 01:22:02.920
Let's see.

01:22:03.980 --> 01:22:06.040
During the singing, I saw pulses of light

01:22:06.040 --> 01:22:09.300
going out from the earthly and angelic bands.

01:22:10.400 --> 01:22:12.740
So it was coming out of here.

01:22:15.500 --> 01:22:17.220
As this would pulse,

01:22:18.180 --> 01:22:21.340
there would be a pulse of light that came off the band.

01:22:22.200 --> 01:22:24.400
And we have our own angelic band.

01:22:24.580 --> 01:22:26.520
They're over in this area on the outside of the wall.

01:22:27.960 --> 01:22:30.420
And I'll give you something interesting

01:22:30.420 --> 01:22:32.280
to mull on here in a bit concerning that.

01:22:32.800 --> 01:22:35.540
And there was pulses of light coming off of them

01:22:35.540 --> 01:22:36.380
at the same time.

01:22:36.640 --> 01:22:41.900
They all blinked at the same time.

01:22:43.900 --> 01:22:44.340
Pulsed.

01:22:45.940 --> 01:22:47.480
And I thought, that's really odd.

01:22:47.700 --> 01:22:49.540
Really strong presence of the Holy Spirit.

01:22:49.700 --> 01:22:51.140
Really good praise and worship service.

01:22:52.920 --> 01:22:54.520
So since I was seeing this,

01:22:54.940 --> 01:22:57.260
when you're seeing it, you can sometimes interact with them.

01:22:58.040 --> 01:22:59.680
So since I thought, well, give it a try.

01:22:59.800 --> 01:23:00.460
I don't know what's going on.

01:23:00.460 --> 01:23:01.400
I was standing there.

01:23:01.540 --> 01:23:02.360
So once I was seeing it,

01:23:02.380 --> 01:23:05.320
I turned to the one who leads the band over there.

01:23:06.300 --> 01:23:08.520
And I said, what's going on? What's happening?

01:23:09.740 --> 01:23:11.220
And he said, it's a God thing.

01:23:11.720 --> 01:23:12.660
Oh, I figured that much.

01:23:14.260 --> 01:23:16.180
I said, so what does it mean?

01:23:17.740 --> 01:23:20.580
He said, I don't know. God is about to do something.

01:23:22.120 --> 01:23:24.720
And the pulses of light started getting stronger.

01:23:26.780 --> 01:23:29.460
And it was like shock waves that happened.

01:23:29.460 --> 01:23:31.460
And the best thing I can describe...

01:23:32.160 --> 01:23:34.840
Did any of you watch the Star Wars film series?

01:23:35.960 --> 01:23:36.520
The Death Star.

01:23:36.520 --> 01:23:38.940
The Death Star.

01:23:40.060 --> 01:23:42.660
When they activate the Death Star to blow up a planet,

01:23:45.100 --> 01:23:46.140
it goes...

01:23:48.960 --> 01:23:50.080
It just releases.

01:23:50.900 --> 01:23:52.040
I heard that sound.

01:23:53.780 --> 01:23:55.820
It's like they started getting more intense

01:23:55.820 --> 01:23:56.680
and a little slower.

01:23:56.680 --> 01:24:03.300
And it would just blow through the place.

01:24:05.240 --> 01:24:08.560
And I'm going, what in the world is that?

01:24:09.820 --> 01:24:12.920
I turned around and if they show up,

01:24:13.020 --> 01:24:14.920
they're usually on that wall, north wall.

01:24:16.140 --> 01:24:19.340
A group of witnesses had gathered, Hebrews 12-1.

01:24:19.660 --> 01:24:21.460
They were sitting on the north side of the sanctuary

01:24:21.460 --> 01:24:22.300
and the outside of the wall.

01:24:22.500 --> 01:24:24.340
Of course, the wall is not there to them.

01:24:25.400 --> 01:24:26.600
It's non-existent.

01:24:27.700 --> 01:24:29.680
From what I could tell, there was probably

01:24:29.680 --> 01:24:31.200
10 to 12 people watching.

01:24:31.960 --> 01:24:33.860
They were not there the entire service,

01:24:33.880 --> 01:24:35.580
but they were there when this was happening.

01:24:36.620 --> 01:24:40.220
The gathering of the witnesses to see what's going on in here

01:24:40.220 --> 01:24:43.580
had not happened since the end of 2009 in the modular.

01:24:44.220 --> 01:24:47.220
So this was six years later,

01:24:47.620 --> 01:24:48.860
the first time it happened again.

01:24:51.500 --> 01:24:54.320
And it just went, it was just wild.

01:24:54.600 --> 01:24:58.800
It was just, whoa, whoa, whoa.

01:24:59.380 --> 01:25:01.560
And it would just, in the spirit realm,

01:25:01.580 --> 01:25:02.700
it would just blow back.

01:25:03.100 --> 01:25:05.180
It would just blow back.

01:25:05.600 --> 01:25:07.460
The angels that I could see, it's like it just hit them

01:25:07.460 --> 01:25:08.220
and blew them back.

01:25:09.260 --> 01:25:10.880
And then it started dying down.

01:25:11.740 --> 01:25:13.900
And once it had died down,

01:25:16.260 --> 01:25:18.720
the Holy Spirit just dropped it in my heart.

01:25:20.120 --> 01:25:21.640
Manasseh has now been born.

01:25:23.660 --> 01:25:26.640
So to understand that, you have to understand

01:25:26.640 --> 01:25:28.360
the story of the Joseph's Anointing,

01:25:28.740 --> 01:25:30.780
which God had talked to Mary about.

01:25:31.420 --> 01:25:34.460
And we were waiting for Manasseh to be born

01:25:34.460 --> 01:25:36.800
because there were certain things that would come with that.

01:25:37.460 --> 01:25:39.420
Specifically, Manasseh represents

01:25:39.420 --> 01:25:41.400
forgetting the toil of your youth.

01:25:42.740 --> 01:25:45.560
And we were waiting for that change to take place.

01:25:46.540 --> 01:25:49.960
Now we're waiting for Ephraim to be born.

01:25:52.000 --> 01:25:56.320
Ephraim means to abound and super abound.

01:25:57.800 --> 01:25:59.120
So we're waiting on that.

01:25:59.200 --> 01:26:00.080
That's a whole different story.

01:26:00.280 --> 01:26:01.160
Can't go into that tonight.

01:26:01.680 --> 01:26:06.880
And as it calmed down, after service I told Mary,

01:26:07.080 --> 01:26:09.880
I said, Manasseh was born today.

01:26:10.620 --> 01:26:14.560
She said, I had a feeling something was going on.

01:26:16.760 --> 01:26:18.540
It was really intense.

01:26:24.050 --> 01:26:26.970
Angels work with what God is doing.

01:26:31.050 --> 01:26:32.250
We have...

01:26:32.250 --> 01:26:36.410
It's up to God to decide when and what and where and how.

01:26:37.150 --> 01:26:40.730
But we have the right to see what they're up to

01:26:40.730 --> 01:26:41.470
from time to time.

01:26:42.960 --> 01:26:44.550
It was bought for us.

01:26:45.790 --> 01:26:47.490
And we have the right to do it.

01:26:47.910 --> 01:26:49.630
Again, you got to know who you are in covenant

01:26:49.630 --> 01:26:51.310
and what rights you have.

01:26:54.710 --> 01:26:56.110
It's just the way it works.

01:26:56.850 --> 01:26:58.110
Did you get that email?

01:26:58.650 --> 01:27:00.050
There's a song there.

01:27:01.210 --> 01:27:02.690
Okay, so let me describe this.

01:27:03.190 --> 01:27:06.250
Jim played one from Rodney Howard Brown's church.

01:27:07.010 --> 01:27:09.210
This one came...

01:27:10.330 --> 01:27:11.430
Give me a second.

01:27:11.710 --> 01:27:12.990
I might be able to

01:27:14.190 --> 01:27:16.470
give you the story behind it.

01:27:21.590 --> 01:27:22.930
One of them had it.

01:27:24.090 --> 01:27:25.350
Okay, so you're going to hear...

01:27:25.350 --> 01:27:26.390
This goes on for five minutes.

01:27:27.090 --> 01:27:29.470
This happened probably 50 years ago.

01:27:29.530 --> 01:27:31.430
I think it was in the 70s when this took place.

01:27:32.010 --> 01:27:35.210
And they recorded it on a little cassette tape.

01:27:36.730 --> 01:27:37.990
He's going to describe it.

01:27:37.990 --> 01:27:39.990
It's a little bit hard to understand what he's going to say.

01:27:41.310 --> 01:27:43.230
But we've played it here before,

01:27:43.290 --> 01:27:43.970
but it's been years.

01:27:45.270 --> 01:27:47.530
There was a choir, a band,

01:27:48.230 --> 01:27:50.230
a praise band in a church in Texas.

01:27:50.690 --> 01:27:52.010
They were practicing,

01:27:52.390 --> 01:27:54.090
and it was before service,

01:27:54.090 --> 01:27:57.310
and they were trying to get their sound right.

01:27:58.730 --> 01:28:02.950
So they acapella sang

01:28:02.950 --> 01:28:03.910
Alleluia.

01:28:04.750 --> 01:28:06.570
No instruments, nothing,

01:28:06.570 --> 01:28:08.870
just as the band members who sang,

01:28:09.350 --> 01:28:11.630
they sang Alleluia.

01:28:12.770 --> 01:28:13.890
Alleluia, Alleluia.

01:28:14.230 --> 01:28:15.710
And then they stopped and they took a break,

01:28:15.710 --> 01:28:16.990
and the guy was making adjustments,

01:28:17.250 --> 01:28:17.950
this, that and the other.

01:28:18.670 --> 01:28:21.010
And then they sang it a second time, acapella.

01:28:22.530 --> 01:28:23.890
No music, nothing.

01:28:24.910 --> 01:28:26.970
They recorded the whole thing

01:28:26.970 --> 01:28:29.890
because they wanted to see what it would sound like

01:28:29.890 --> 01:28:31.850
if the balances were there.

01:28:32.570 --> 01:28:35.570
So the guy who got the tape

01:28:35.570 --> 01:28:38.330
from a friend is going to describe that at the beginning,

01:28:38.850 --> 01:28:40.850
and then they're going to,

01:28:41.110 --> 01:28:43.450
he's going to say they did this,

01:28:43.590 --> 01:28:46.150
and then they played the tape to see how their balance was.

01:28:47.530 --> 01:28:49.690
And lo and behold on the tape,

01:28:49.990 --> 01:28:52.010
there was an angelic orchestra

01:28:53.250 --> 01:28:54.430
that had joined in.

01:28:55.070 --> 01:28:56.310
And the tape picked it up.

01:28:56.850 --> 01:28:58.930
None of them could hear it, but the tape picked it up.

01:28:59.550 --> 01:29:01.270
And the interesting part is,

01:29:01.590 --> 01:29:03.770
he will say it, but he's a little garbled,

01:29:03.770 --> 01:29:05.890
it's a little hard to hear because it's an old recording.

01:29:08.750 --> 01:29:09.610
There's a verse

01:29:11.090 --> 01:29:12.630
between the two choruses,

01:29:14.810 --> 01:29:16.810
and nobody sang that verse.

01:29:17.630 --> 01:29:19.110
Nobody knew that verse.

01:29:19.250 --> 01:29:20.770
Nobody knows where that verse came from.

01:29:20.830 --> 01:29:22.010
An angel sang the verse

01:29:22.010 --> 01:29:24.170
while they were readjusting the sound.

01:29:24.670 --> 01:29:26.750
And then when they started singing Alleluia again,

01:29:26.970 --> 01:29:28.310
they were all in time.

01:29:28.550 --> 01:29:29.950
And it's like, wow, amazing.

01:29:30.150 --> 01:29:30.730
Go ahead and play that.

01:29:34.230 --> 01:29:35.650
Hopefully I sent you the right one.

01:29:40.790 --> 01:29:43.130
Well, I listen to this tape, I listen to Reapers.

01:29:44.110 --> 01:29:46.550
And every time I listen to it, I still can't believe it.

01:29:47.130 --> 01:29:50.810
But I go entirely by the integrity

01:29:50.810 --> 01:29:52.430
of the good friend of mine

01:29:52.430 --> 01:29:54.250
who knows the people that recorded this.

01:29:54.690 --> 01:29:56.470
And if it wasn't for him and his reputation,

01:29:56.750 --> 01:29:59.710
I would say something is really weird about this tape.

01:30:00.530 --> 01:30:01.850
What happened was,

01:30:01.850 --> 01:30:05.530
and as it relates to me by Dr. Schneider from Kansas City,

01:30:05.930 --> 01:30:07.730
a group of seven people in Kansas City

01:30:07.730 --> 01:30:09.110
got together for fire practice.

01:30:09.830 --> 01:30:10.510
Have you heard this?

01:30:11.610 --> 01:30:12.870
Okay, a few people have.

01:30:13.510 --> 01:30:14.510
Every while I go around the country,

01:30:14.770 --> 01:30:15.910
one or two people have heard it.

01:30:16.230 --> 01:30:17.230
Or I've heard about it.

01:30:17.510 --> 01:30:18.850
But this is the tape of it.

01:30:19.330 --> 01:30:21.510
Seven people got together for fire practice

01:30:21.510 --> 01:30:22.610
in Kansas City.

01:30:23.050 --> 01:30:26.190
And they were checking the sound equipment

01:30:26.190 --> 01:30:27.190
and their harmony.

01:30:27.730 --> 01:30:29.650
And they sang the chorus Alleluia through.

01:30:29.650 --> 01:30:32.070
They paused and then they sang it through again.

01:30:32.610 --> 01:30:34.550
That was the autopilot, no instrument.

01:30:35.290 --> 01:30:36.950
And when they started playing it back,

01:30:37.090 --> 01:30:38.790
they thought something went wrong with the system

01:30:38.790 --> 01:30:41.430
until they realized that there were thousands

01:30:41.430 --> 01:30:43.130
of voices singing with them.

01:30:44.050 --> 01:30:46.270
There was a harp, bass guitar,

01:30:46.910 --> 01:30:49.170
trumpet, all sorts of things in there.

01:30:49.450 --> 01:30:51.370
And then during the time that they had paused,

01:30:51.770 --> 01:30:52.470
there was a solo.

01:30:57.980 --> 01:30:59.400
To complicate matter,

01:30:59.960 --> 01:31:02.280
one of the men that was singing with them

01:31:02.280 --> 01:31:04.480
a few months later went down to Haiti

01:31:04.480 --> 01:31:05.820
on a mission trip.

01:31:06.640 --> 01:31:07.680
And when he was down there,

01:31:07.860 --> 01:31:10.400
the church that was ministering at,

01:31:10.680 --> 01:31:12.340
the song leader was leading them in the

01:31:12.340 --> 01:31:13.680
the Alleluia chorus.

01:31:14.820 --> 01:31:16.680
And during the middle of it,

01:31:17.240 --> 01:31:19.460
he started singing this chorus,

01:31:19.980 --> 01:31:22.220
or the verse that's down on this tape.

01:31:23.360 --> 01:31:25.320
And he went up to the song director afterwards

01:31:25.320 --> 01:31:26.540
who didn't speak any English

01:31:27.060 --> 01:31:30.020
and asked him where he got the word

01:31:30.020 --> 01:31:31.440
through that verse that he sang.

01:31:31.960 --> 01:31:33.200
And he said, I didn't sing a verse.

01:31:34.160 --> 01:31:36.440
How can you explain it? You can't.

01:31:37.060 --> 01:31:39.820
I have a friend in Lubbock, Texas.

01:31:39.980 --> 01:31:42.340
I'll be with him next weekend. He's a music professor.

01:31:42.980 --> 01:31:44.440
And he listened to this tape and he said,

01:31:44.560 --> 01:31:47.160
there are voices on there that are higher

01:31:47.160 --> 01:31:49.000
than the human vocal range can go.

01:31:50.180 --> 01:31:52.920
And they are sustained for a longer time

01:31:52.920 --> 01:31:54.680
than what the human voice can sustain

01:31:54.680 --> 01:31:56.380
one note with that much clarity.

01:31:57.440 --> 01:31:59.040
And so there's no other explanation

01:31:59.040 --> 01:32:02.000
for it except...

01:34:36.300 --> 01:34:37.620
...being transformed.

01:34:37.900 --> 01:34:38.700
What's it do with the rivers?

01:34:41.940 --> 01:34:44.420
A well, like you were saying before,

01:34:45.240 --> 01:34:48.620
a well is generally a benefit

01:34:48.620 --> 01:34:51.260
of the people that live on that land.

01:34:52.500 --> 01:34:54.380
Like farms or wherever.

01:34:54.620 --> 01:34:55.720
You got a well on the farm.

01:34:56.280 --> 01:34:58.800
It generally is the benefit for the landowner,

01:34:58.960 --> 01:35:00.580
the people that are there.

01:35:00.580 --> 01:35:02.340
Now in the Old Testament days, they had wells

01:35:02.340 --> 01:35:04.660
that everybody used, but I'm talking about today.

01:35:05.220 --> 01:35:08.680
So a well is generally for the landowner use.

01:35:11.660 --> 01:35:12.980
Rivers are different.

01:35:14.060 --> 01:35:15.000
They're for everybody.

01:35:15.880 --> 01:35:18.180
Anybody that comes by them, through them,

01:35:19.060 --> 01:35:20.840
you got a river out here, Mississippi River,

01:35:20.980 --> 01:35:22.040
all the way from up here north,

01:35:22.340 --> 01:35:24.700
by Bemidji, all the way down to New Orleans.

01:35:25.560 --> 01:35:28.700
And everybody can benefit from that river.

01:35:28.700 --> 01:35:32.200
And that's now the stage, I believe,

01:35:32.660 --> 01:35:35.240
that we're going into is the river

01:35:35.240 --> 01:35:36.780
where the rivers are going out,

01:35:36.880 --> 01:35:37.880
north, south, east, west.

01:35:38.640 --> 01:35:39.720
It's going out.

01:35:40.080 --> 01:35:43.180
But it's going to be carried by you,

01:35:43.980 --> 01:35:45.160
all of us here.

01:35:46.200 --> 01:35:48.080
We've got to take the river out

01:35:48.080 --> 01:35:49.500
to all the other people.

01:35:49.680 --> 01:35:52.120
Salvation, healing, deliverance.

01:35:53.180 --> 01:35:54.780
All those miracle signs, wonders,

01:35:55.000 --> 01:35:56.700
all those are going to be...

01:35:56.700 --> 01:35:58.620
We must be the hands and the feet of the Lord, right?

01:35:59.840 --> 01:36:01.900
Yeah, and so that's what's got to flow out

01:36:01.900 --> 01:36:02.940
through that river.

01:36:03.780 --> 01:36:05.460
And you are it.

01:36:06.060 --> 01:36:06.860
God chose you.

01:36:09.040 --> 01:36:11.000
And if we disobey taking it out,

01:36:11.240 --> 01:36:12.100
it's going to dry up.

01:36:12.740 --> 01:36:14.120
Because there's no reason for it.

01:36:15.260 --> 01:36:17.040
So I actually have something to share,

01:36:17.160 --> 01:36:18.240
but then it's kind of a question,

01:36:18.380 --> 01:36:19.420
maybe you'll go over this,

01:36:19.500 --> 01:36:21.920
but during one of the Holy Spirit meetings,

01:36:22.220 --> 01:36:23.480
I think it was in the summertime,

01:36:24.220 --> 01:36:26.300
there was an angelic activity happening

01:36:26.300 --> 01:36:28.180
and there was a prayer line here

01:36:29.060 --> 01:36:31.060
and I came up, Jim called me up

01:36:31.060 --> 01:36:32.420
and we were laying hands on people

01:36:32.420 --> 01:36:33.940
and somebody tapped me

01:36:34.740 --> 01:36:36.620
on my shoulder and I turned around

01:36:36.620 --> 01:36:38.020
and there was nobody there.

01:36:38.940 --> 01:36:41.160
And so Bruce Fanata is somebody

01:36:41.160 --> 01:36:43.260
that I learned a lot from, he mentors me

01:36:43.260 --> 01:36:44.760
and I asked him about it

01:36:44.760 --> 01:36:46.520
and he laughed and he said, oh yeah, he said,

01:36:46.560 --> 01:36:48.080
we have a lot of angels do that

01:36:48.080 --> 01:36:49.960
during these meetings.

01:36:50.300 --> 01:36:52.160
So my question is, what are you supposed to do

01:36:52.160 --> 01:36:53.060
when they tap you?

01:36:53.240 --> 01:36:55.480
Well, what he said, he said they want to do something.

01:36:55.820 --> 01:36:56.920
There's something they want to do,

01:36:57.020 --> 01:36:59.160
so do you just ask the Holy Spirit,

01:37:00.060 --> 01:37:00.840
what do I do?

01:37:01.160 --> 01:37:02.160
What do they want to do?

01:37:03.540 --> 01:37:05.700
Do you speak like a reema?

01:37:05.860 --> 01:37:07.300
Is the Lord going to give you a reema?

01:37:07.560 --> 01:37:09.080
The Lord may give you...

01:37:09.080 --> 01:37:10.820
The tap is to get your tension.

01:37:11.200 --> 01:37:12.820
Stop, think a little bit here now.

01:37:13.600 --> 01:37:14.880
Of course don't think in the physical,

01:37:15.420 --> 01:37:16.840
Lord is there something I should be saying

01:37:16.840 --> 01:37:17.960
because they're going to activate

01:37:17.960 --> 01:37:19.000
through the word of the Lord

01:37:19.000 --> 01:37:20.120
that comes out of your mouth.

01:37:22.120 --> 01:37:24.240
So it's get your attention,

01:37:24.420 --> 01:37:25.120
get you to stop

01:37:25.120 --> 01:37:27.820
and let the Holy Spirit speak something

01:37:27.820 --> 01:37:28.780
through you.

01:37:30.860 --> 01:37:32.000
Could you bring up

01:37:32.000 --> 01:37:33.340
1 Peter 1.12,

01:37:34.020 --> 01:37:35.900
I want to talk about one thing here yet

01:37:35.900 --> 01:37:37.840
and then we're going to start wrapping this up.

01:37:39.200 --> 01:37:39.740
Because sometimes

01:37:39.740 --> 01:37:41.400
it's one of these things of

01:37:42.540 --> 01:37:44.120
is this really real?

01:37:44.480 --> 01:37:46.040
And I think I'd shared this with you,

01:37:46.040 --> 01:37:47.000
Jess, I'm not sure.

01:37:48.020 --> 01:37:50.100
If not, this will be your first run at it.

01:37:50.240 --> 01:37:51.080
I think I did though.

01:37:52.200 --> 01:37:54.040
The second time you went to Afghanistan

01:37:54.040 --> 01:37:54.940
you were deployed.

01:37:56.040 --> 01:37:57.260
They had told you

01:37:58.020 --> 01:37:59.840
a number of months before

01:38:00.520 --> 01:38:02.020
the word became official

01:38:02.800 --> 01:38:04.000
that it could happen.

01:38:04.520 --> 01:38:04.960
Remember that?

01:38:06.020 --> 01:38:07.720
And you came and said, hey,

01:38:07.760 --> 01:38:10.360
they're thinking of deploying us again

01:38:10.360 --> 01:38:12.220
to Afghanistan and blah blah blah

01:38:12.220 --> 01:38:14.080
and they're not saying if it's going to happen

01:38:14.080 --> 01:38:14.980
not going to happen

01:38:14.980 --> 01:38:16.580
when whatever.

01:38:17.580 --> 01:38:20.180
It was a Sunday morning

01:38:20.180 --> 01:38:22.160
almost a year before

01:38:22.160 --> 01:38:22.980
you were deployed.

01:38:23.900 --> 01:38:25.740
All we knew is it was a possibility.

01:38:26.800 --> 01:38:27.980
The one who

01:38:27.980 --> 01:38:29.340
leads the orchestra

01:38:30.500 --> 01:38:32.080
said to me that Sunday

01:38:32.080 --> 01:38:33.700
morning, he said

01:38:33.700 --> 01:38:35.800
you won't see me for quite a while.

01:38:36.080 --> 01:38:37.820
He said I'm leaving this my last

01:38:37.820 --> 01:38:39.180
time here for now.

01:38:39.620 --> 01:38:41.780
I'm leaving to get ready.

01:38:41.780 --> 01:38:42.660
I'm being trained

01:38:42.660 --> 01:38:44.920
to go with your son when he goes

01:38:44.920 --> 01:38:45.480
to Afghanistan.

01:38:47.080 --> 01:38:48.800
And I thought, wow.

01:38:49.340 --> 01:38:50.460
Got home, I told Mary.

01:38:50.620 --> 01:38:51.980
I said Jess is going to Afghanistan.

01:38:52.020 --> 01:38:53.380
Don't tell him, but Jess is going

01:38:53.380 --> 01:38:53.920
to Afghanistan.

01:38:55.920 --> 01:38:57.800
Of course, she started binding it

01:38:57.800 --> 01:38:58.800
and taking authority.

01:39:01.260 --> 01:39:02.700
Not my baby boy

01:39:02.700 --> 01:39:04.140
going to Afghanistan again.

01:39:05.720 --> 01:39:07.580
And it was like five or six months later

01:39:07.580 --> 01:39:08.600
he came with the word

01:39:08.600 --> 01:39:10.600
well, now we've got official deployment

01:39:10.600 --> 01:39:12.520
official day and then it was

01:39:12.520 --> 01:39:13.900
a number of months and they deployed.

01:39:14.760 --> 01:39:16.460
That was the one where

01:39:17.000 --> 01:39:17.980
everything was

01:39:18.430 --> 01:39:20.400
pretty much cool as far as what he shared

01:39:20.400 --> 01:39:22.400
with us until they were

01:39:22.400 --> 01:39:23.880
coming back and then that missile

01:39:23.880 --> 01:39:25.200
hit the airport.

01:39:28.280 --> 01:39:28.780
And

01:39:30.340 --> 01:39:32.360
you'd say, well, why would he tell you

01:39:32.360 --> 01:39:33.760
that? Well, a couple of reasons.

01:39:34.480 --> 01:39:35.880
One is to confirm

01:39:37.820 --> 01:39:38.720
this is really

01:39:38.720 --> 01:39:39.100
happening.

01:39:40.680 --> 01:39:42.120
I mean, this is real.

01:39:43.900 --> 01:39:44.380
Because

01:39:44.900 --> 01:39:46.080
sometimes you start going,

01:39:46.580 --> 01:39:48.480
am I making this up? Is this real?

01:39:49.240 --> 01:39:50.480
Well, when they predict something

01:39:50.480 --> 01:39:52.140
out like that and then it actually happens

01:39:52.140 --> 01:39:53.640
it's like, whoa, that was real.

01:39:55.220 --> 01:39:56.020
Number one

01:39:56.020 --> 01:39:58.260
and number two, it's a heads up.

01:39:58.980 --> 01:39:59.620
You got to start

01:39:59.620 --> 01:40:00.940
praying about this.

01:40:01.960 --> 01:40:03.440
So that's when I asked for a

01:40:03.440 --> 01:40:05.440
rainbow word. What's the rainbow

01:40:05.440 --> 01:40:06.920
word for this trip?

01:40:07.300 --> 01:40:09.380
I'm going to believe he comes back

01:40:09.380 --> 01:40:10.300
unscathed.

01:40:10.520 --> 01:40:13.460
I gave it away. I could believe he comes back unheard.

01:40:14.940 --> 01:40:15.360
And

01:40:15.360 --> 01:40:17.520
what's the rainbow word? It took a few weeks

01:40:17.520 --> 01:40:19.500
and he gave me this word. On a Sunday.

01:40:20.040 --> 01:40:21.340
It's amazing how much stuff

01:40:21.340 --> 01:40:23.420
I'll get when the people are

01:40:23.420 --> 01:40:23.980
together

01:40:25.880 --> 01:40:27.400
in corporate anointing.

01:40:28.380 --> 01:40:29.300
On a Sunday

01:40:29.300 --> 01:40:30.580
he said unscathed.

01:40:32.260 --> 01:40:33.320
That's all he gave me

01:40:33.320 --> 01:40:34.600
for his trip.

01:40:34.940 --> 01:40:36.260
Unscathed. I got to go home and look it up.

01:40:36.560 --> 01:40:37.640
It's like unscathed.

01:40:38.040 --> 01:40:39.740
What does unscathed mean?

01:40:40.600 --> 01:40:42.300
Okay, so now he's going to

01:40:42.300 --> 01:40:42.900
Afghanistan.

01:40:43.900 --> 01:40:45.440
He's going to be in harm's way.

01:40:46.860 --> 01:40:47.500
He said

01:40:48.080 --> 01:40:50.500
you start calling unscathed

01:40:50.500 --> 01:40:51.120
over him.

01:40:52.160 --> 01:40:54.320
What in the world is unscathed?

01:40:54.380 --> 01:40:56.560
Let me read it to you. You will be amazed.

01:41:00.920 --> 01:41:01.280
Holy

01:41:02.500 --> 01:41:03.220
unharmed

01:41:03.220 --> 01:41:04.800
not injured.

01:41:07.400 --> 01:41:08.800
He will come back

01:41:08.800 --> 01:41:10.940
W-H-O-L-L-Y

01:41:10.940 --> 01:41:13.340
Holy completely unharmed

01:41:13.340 --> 01:41:14.900
not injured.

01:41:16.800 --> 01:41:18.500
And that's how he came back

01:41:18.860 --> 01:41:19.540
even though

01:41:20.660 --> 01:41:22.880
that missile had exploded

01:41:23.940 --> 01:41:25.520
way way way too close

01:41:25.520 --> 01:41:26.520
as far as I'm concerned.

01:41:27.520 --> 01:41:29.320
There's the verse that talks about

01:41:29.320 --> 01:41:30.880
angels wanting to

01:41:30.880 --> 01:41:32.560
they want to look in

01:41:32.560 --> 01:41:34.980
and see what's going on in the church

01:41:34.980 --> 01:41:36.200
in God's people.

01:41:37.720 --> 01:41:38.760
And I said that

01:41:38.760 --> 01:41:40.040
sometimes like a dome

01:41:40.040 --> 01:41:42.120
there's just thousands of them just watching.

01:41:43.420 --> 01:41:44.880
There's the verse that says

01:41:44.880 --> 01:41:46.920
yeah, they want to do that.

01:41:49.240 --> 01:41:50.880
A bunch of other things to talk about

01:41:50.880 --> 01:41:52.160
we've gone long enough. Let's start

01:41:52.160 --> 01:41:53.340
bringing it to a close.

01:41:58.440 --> 01:41:59.100
Two things

01:41:59.100 --> 01:42:01.040
God showed me that I want us to agree

01:42:01.040 --> 01:42:03.340
in prayer here on before we're done.

01:42:03.900 --> 01:42:05.300
The last Friday night

01:42:05.300 --> 01:42:06.200
after Christmas

01:42:07.160 --> 01:42:09.160
when they had the Holy Spirit meeting here

01:42:10.380 --> 01:42:11.840
I just felt like the Lord wanted

01:42:11.840 --> 01:42:13.240
and I'm not going to go into this much

01:42:13.240 --> 01:42:14.920
I'm going to go into this one on Sunday morning

01:42:14.920 --> 01:42:15.820
a little more.

01:42:16.860 --> 01:42:18.880
It's a Sunday morning thing but I want to bring it up.

01:42:20.000 --> 01:42:21.960
I felt like the Lord wanted to talk to me

01:42:21.960 --> 01:42:23.780
so I thought well I'm here I'm going to do that.

01:42:24.020 --> 01:42:26.380
So I just in the back row there I just kind of laid down

01:42:27.420 --> 01:42:27.860
and

01:42:27.860 --> 01:42:30.380
a way of tuning everybody out

01:42:30.380 --> 01:42:31.900
and just me and God

01:42:31.900 --> 01:42:33.540
and he made this statement to me

01:42:34.400 --> 01:42:36.020
and we're going to deal with this Sunday morning

01:42:36.020 --> 01:42:37.760
but I wanted you to see a pattern.

01:42:38.260 --> 01:42:40.100
He said there are people

01:42:40.100 --> 01:42:40.960
in this church

01:42:41.740 --> 01:42:43.560
who are not getting healed

01:42:44.440 --> 01:42:46.100
and they're trying to get healed

01:42:46.100 --> 01:42:47.840
or something but they're not getting their healing

01:42:47.840 --> 01:42:50.040
because they have attitudes

01:42:50.040 --> 01:42:51.700
with other people

01:42:51.700 --> 01:42:53.840
and they've taken communion

01:42:53.840 --> 01:42:55.160
in that condition.

01:43:00.320 --> 01:43:01.540
So they violated

01:43:01.540 --> 01:43:03.560
1 Corinthians 11 principle

01:43:04.300 --> 01:43:06.100
and Paul said if you do that

01:43:06.100 --> 01:43:08.360
weak, sick and some are dead

01:43:09.480 --> 01:43:10.940
because they violate that

01:43:10.940 --> 01:43:12.140
I'm going to talk about that Sunday morning

01:43:12.140 --> 01:43:13.560
well that kind of bothered me it's like

01:43:13.560 --> 01:43:14.800
that's not good

01:43:16.320 --> 01:43:18.200
we got attitudes floating around here

01:43:18.200 --> 01:43:20.360
that just turns into division

01:43:20.360 --> 01:43:21.780
and strife stuff like that.

01:43:23.180 --> 01:43:24.000
Monday night

01:43:24.000 --> 01:43:25.140
at the meeting

01:43:26.940 --> 01:43:27.900
prayer meeting

01:43:27.900 --> 01:43:30.180
I'll just read to you what I got

01:43:30.180 --> 01:43:31.720
some of you've heard this before

01:43:31.720 --> 01:43:32.700
but I'll read it to everybody

01:43:33.800 --> 01:43:35.080
I'm sitting over there

01:43:35.080 --> 01:43:35.940
part of the prayer meeting

01:43:37.040 --> 01:43:38.620
and I started writing

01:43:38.620 --> 01:43:40.300
I find myself highly disturbed

01:43:40.300 --> 01:43:42.120
as I am in our prayer meeting tonight

01:43:42.900 --> 01:43:44.300
there's nothing wrong with anything

01:43:44.300 --> 01:43:45.640
the people are praying for

01:43:45.640 --> 01:43:47.400
it's what the Lord is telling me

01:43:47.400 --> 01:43:53.760
Today, as we're in His presence, tonight, as the people are praying and specifically asking

01:43:53.760 --> 01:44:00.480
God to move in the upcoming meetings next week, the Holy Spirit started asking me. They say,

01:44:00.920 --> 01:44:05.780
Lord, we, you know, I'll just... hypothetical. Lord, we pray that you just move in power

01:44:05.780 --> 01:44:14.480
next week. And the Holy Spirit started asking me, why? Why should I? And Lord, we pray that

01:44:14.480 --> 01:44:18.780
people get, you know, people come and they sense your presence and it changes their life.

01:44:19.720 --> 01:44:26.840
Why? Why should I do that? And everything they were praying, he kept following it up with,

01:44:28.060 --> 01:44:34.360
why should I do that? Why? And he directed me back to 2 Chronicles 7.14, if my people

01:44:34.360 --> 01:44:40.140
who are called by my name shall humble themselves, pray, seek, crave, and require of necessity

01:44:40.140 --> 01:44:44.900
my face, which that is explained in the Open Heavens book that you've gotten. Those are yours

01:44:44.900 --> 01:44:49.920
to keep. So you'll want to read that part. It's really fascinating. And turn from their

01:44:49.920 --> 01:44:55.160
wicked ways. Then will I hear from heaven forgive their sin and heal their land. The

01:44:55.160 --> 01:45:01.360
words humble themselves stuck out to me. So I looked it up. The word humble means

01:45:01.360 --> 01:45:08.220
to bend the knee, to humiliate, to vanquish, to bring low, bring into subjection,

01:45:08.220 --> 01:45:14.820
bring under, to subdue. And then I felt like he directed me. He said, if they humble

01:45:14.820 --> 01:45:20.300
themselves. So put the definition in with yourself. If you will humiliate yourself.

01:45:21.340 --> 01:45:27.840
And that we applied directly to quit trying to hide your sin and keep people from seeing it.

01:45:28.240 --> 01:45:34.200
If we will confess our sin, he's faithful and just to forgive us. And if we confess

01:45:34.200 --> 01:45:41.260
our sins one to another, we will be healed. Well, it's humiliating to do that. Well, humble

01:45:41.260 --> 01:45:51.800
yourself. If we will bring ourselves down low, if we'll bring ourselves into subjection,

01:45:51.840 --> 01:45:55.440
which could be talking of attitudes, could be talking of emotions, could be talking

01:45:55.440 --> 01:46:02.860
of the flesh. If we'll bring ourselves under, if we'll subdue ourselves, then

01:46:02.860 --> 01:46:12.190
he will do these things. And I started asking myself the question, and I just wrote, wrote

01:46:12.190 --> 01:46:25.080
as it was coming. Have we lost the repentive attitude at word of life? Have we picked up

01:46:25.080 --> 01:46:29.220
the laodicean attitude of the church that says, we're good. I mean, we're good.

01:46:29.400 --> 01:46:38.170
I'm good. I'm good in my spiritual life. I'm fine. I'm good. Have we become nonchalant

01:46:38.170 --> 01:46:46.450
or complacent towards the supernatural and the presence that God has given us to where

01:46:46.450 --> 01:46:50.690
it's like, well, you just take it for granted. It just happens and it's all exciting,

01:46:50.750 --> 01:46:55.690
but we're getting kind of complacent towards it rather than reverencing God's presence,

01:46:56.250 --> 01:47:08.030
honoring it, holding it holy. Have we become spiritually sloppy and we're allowing

01:47:08.030 --> 01:47:13.290
sin and other things to come into our life because we're good. I mean, we're good. We're

01:47:13.290 --> 01:47:19.010
fine. I mean, it's good. But yet if Jesus was standing right there, we probably wouldn't

01:47:19.010 --> 01:47:26.490
do what we do now because we're just getting kind of sloppy. Are our motives beginning

01:47:26.490 --> 01:47:33.450
to slip in why we seek him, why we seek his presence, why we seek his guidance,

01:47:33.450 --> 01:47:44.410
his leading. We talked about a lot of supernatural stuff that happens here. We usually just sense

01:47:44.410 --> 01:47:53.170
the spiritual side of it. I believe we can enter in deeper than that. Scripture tells

01:47:53.170 --> 01:48:00.210
us if you will pursue it, God will show you some of your rewards he has for you

01:48:00.210 --> 01:48:09.340
in heaven. Scripture says that. I is not seen, ear is not heard. I is not seen,

01:48:09.360 --> 01:48:21.380
heard, nor has it entered into the heart of man. What God has prepared for them. But

01:48:21.380 --> 01:48:35.100
by his spirit, he will show you. Look it up, Corinthians. God wants to show us glimpses

01:48:35.100 --> 01:48:44.100
of what we're running toward. A lot of times the church presents the gospel of what we're

01:48:44.100 --> 01:48:51.820
trying to run away from hell. Well, that's not a bad idea either. But we have no clue

01:48:51.820 --> 01:48:58.440
what we're running toward, and yet Scripture specifically says God wants to show you

01:48:58.440 --> 01:49:09.270
what he has prepared for you. Keep running. Keep pushing. The open heaven thing that we

01:49:09.270 --> 01:49:16.790
have, and there's numerous speakers that come, one of the last ones was Charles Carucu.

01:49:17.130 --> 01:49:21.850
When he was here last year, it opens heaven. After that second night, of course he was

01:49:21.850 --> 01:49:27.250
drunk in the spirit. They had to kind of carry him out. And as he's going out

01:49:27.250 --> 01:49:33.850
those back doors, he looked at me and he said, you got an open heavens here. I said, yeah,

01:49:33.870 --> 01:49:46.370
I know. He said, wow. And he staggered on. We've had numerous people pointed out, this

01:49:46.370 --> 01:49:55.130
is not again something for us to go good for us. This is an impartation of responsibility

01:49:55.130 --> 01:50:05.050
and authority and something that he wants to spread, to envelop the area, to envelop the

01:50:05.050 --> 01:50:13.390
community, to spread into the region that he has asked us to work in. This is all the

01:50:13.390 --> 01:50:16.710
angels do just the bidding of the Lord. It's not about the angels because without

01:50:16.710 --> 01:50:23.830
the Lord, they're powerless and useless. He empowers them to do his word over

01:50:23.830 --> 01:50:32.470
our lives. And the more that happens, the more people's lives are changed. We are honored

01:50:32.990 --> 01:50:45.230
to have this thing, but you know what? He expects more of us because we have it. To

01:50:45.230 --> 01:50:50.270
whom much is given, much is required. And one of the reasons he shows us what we

01:50:50.270 --> 01:50:56.790
have is so that we can go, you know, maybe we shouldn't horse off too much here with

01:50:56.790 --> 01:51:06.010
spiritual things. We better take this very methodically, carefully, making our choices

01:51:06.710 --> 01:51:15.700
willfully trying to follow and please the Lord because it's open through obedience, it

01:51:15.700 --> 01:51:22.620
can close through disobedience. And the same thing that's here, he wants over

01:51:22.620 --> 01:51:31.640
every one of us, our home, our lives, where we go, there should be no restrictions between

01:51:31.640 --> 01:51:44.410
us and God. Folks, if we have lost a repent of heart or it's just not as strong as

01:51:44.410 --> 01:51:54.250
it should be, remember that. I can show it to you again because I want to make

01:51:54.250 --> 01:51:59.910
a statement now that those of you who know Brother Caseman, this will make sense to you.

01:52:00.790 --> 01:52:16.670
There's something he says over and over and over. He says, I am quick to obey. When

01:52:16.670 --> 01:52:24.230
God shows me something, I'm quick to obey. We can get bogged down in our lives,

01:52:24.250 --> 01:52:31.790
in all the stuff. Our love for God is motivating us to do something, but we never really get

01:52:31.790 --> 01:52:35.550
up to repent and submission and obedience because we get bogged down in all kinds of

01:52:35.550 --> 01:52:43.350
stuff. His point is, once the Holy Spirit convinces you or convicts you of something,

01:52:43.610 --> 01:52:52.870
just go straight to the top and obey. Don't get bogged down in between. Getting

01:52:53.930 --> 01:53:01.150
bogged down is what shuts down the moving of the spirit. We don't want to shut down the

01:53:01.150 --> 01:53:04.430
moving of the spirit. And there's other things you could add in there. That happened.

01:53:04.550 --> 01:53:11.090
Different people go through different things while they're working their way up toward

01:53:11.750 --> 01:53:22.850
okay, I'll repent, I'll submit, I'll obey. I refuse to let the Holy Spirit

01:53:25.010 --> 01:53:31.830
insubmission, disobedience, lack of reverence, lack of the fear of the Lord. I refuse to let

01:53:31.830 --> 01:53:38.990
those kind of things slowly creep in and grab our body and we lose what He's given us.

01:53:40.510 --> 01:53:48.290
I refuse that. And a body is made up of all kinds of individual parts. So here's

01:53:48.290 --> 01:53:57.470
the question. Is there areas you are not living in the fear of the Lord like you should? And

01:53:57.470 --> 01:54:03.810
repentance has slid on some things. You're not always obeying quickly, sometimes you're

01:54:03.810 --> 01:54:14.280
not obeying at all. In other words, take inventory of your life. Do I have attitudes

01:54:14.280 --> 01:54:21.440
with people that are not godly attitudes? These are the kind of things, there's only

01:54:21.440 --> 01:54:27.660
one thing, there's only one tool the kingdom of darkness has against the church of Jesus

01:54:27.660 --> 01:54:36.560
Christ. It's division. The only thing he's got is to divide us, get us fighting with

01:54:36.560 --> 01:54:41.400
each other, get us on different pages, we're just not in agreement, and it's

01:54:41.400 --> 01:54:49.160
the only tool he's got. And the way he wiggles in is through the flesh. It's through our flesh.

01:54:52.280 --> 01:55:02.780
Lord, if there are any areas where we as a body are sinning, number one, we ask forgiveness

01:55:02.780 --> 01:55:10.460
and number two, we ask show us what we're doing wrong. Any areas, it may be just

01:55:10.460 --> 01:55:20.600
in a very seed form of an attitude or a very seed form of an emotion. It might not be even

01:55:20.600 --> 01:55:26.100
active yet, but you see it's there and it's trying to grow. And you're pointing it out

01:55:26.100 --> 01:55:32.040
and saying, humble yourself. Humble yourself. Don't pick up the laodicean thing of I'm

01:55:32.040 --> 01:55:41.440
good enough, I can do this, I've got this. Humble yourself. Seek his face. Call upon

01:55:41.440 --> 01:55:51.620
him. Turn from our wickedness. We can't play games with what God has given us and is asking

01:55:51.620 --> 01:56:00.000
us to be responsible for in Stuart. We can't play games with our own personal lives.

01:56:06.660 --> 01:56:16.140
So Lord, we very sincerely as a body come and we say Lord speak to us, correct us.

01:56:18.120 --> 01:56:32.020
Direct us. Show us. Speak to us. Anything we could be wrong in as a body. Lord, we pray

01:56:32.020 --> 01:56:42.620
as a body. Come and speak to us. Correct us. Counsel us. Show us. Lead us. In anything

01:56:42.620 --> 01:56:51.260
we could be doing wrong as a body. Okay folks, I'll just give you a heads up.

01:56:51.740 --> 01:56:59.680
I'm going to keep repeating it until we as a body agree. I'm praying a prayer for the

01:56:59.680 --> 01:57:06.940
body that's you and me, all of us. Lord, we pray that you come and speak to us. You

01:57:06.940 --> 01:57:13.420
teach us. You guide us. You lead us. You correct us. You do whatever needs to be done

01:57:13.420 --> 01:57:19.300
to show us what we could be doing or are doing wrong as a body.

01:57:21.400 --> 01:57:32.120
Do we agree? Yes. Forgive us. Even before we know. Forgive us. And Lord, we will be quick

01:57:32.120 --> 01:57:38.620
to repent and obey. We will be quick to repent and obey. Lord, I pray specifically for any

01:57:38.620 --> 01:57:44.220
individuals who are struggling to gain their healing. We can be so blind to ourselves.

01:57:44.220 --> 01:57:53.020
Myself included, if I or any of us have an attitude towards someone, point it out and

01:57:53.020 --> 01:58:00.700
help us clean it up so the healing can come. Again, it's basically saying the same thing

01:58:00.700 --> 01:58:12.400
as 2 Chronicles 7.14. And then he will come and heal the land. Well, that's what

01:58:15.020 --> 01:58:39.120
we're asking for. Lord, that's what we're asking for. That's what we're asking for. We

01:58:39.120 --> 01:58:46.140
are going to be a people who will accomplish our purpose here on this earth. We are not

01:58:46.140 --> 01:58:50.120
going to be thrown into the ditch. We are not going to be sidetracked. We are not

01:58:50.120 --> 01:58:57.160
going to end up in some kind of wreck spiritually, so to speak. We are going to fulfill the word

01:58:57.160 --> 01:59:03.200
of the Lord over us. We are going to accomplish what he's asking us to do and be in this

01:59:03.200 --> 01:59:08.980
area. We are going to be a body that is going to walk in power. Individuals all the

01:59:08.980 --> 01:59:14.440
way up to the corporate. We are going to, by walking in power, I mean we will

01:59:14.440 --> 01:59:22.080
demand our rights and promises as heirs of Almighty God. And we will not stay under

01:59:22.080 --> 01:59:28.040
discipline, as Hebrews 12 talks about as a bastard child, where we do not walk in

01:59:28.040 --> 01:59:33.800
the supernatural because we're being disciplined. An illegitimate child as an illegitimate

01:59:33.800 --> 01:59:41.960
child would. We will not be stubborn. We will not be rebellious. We will not be

01:59:41.960 --> 01:59:49.240
headstrong. We want to hear what you have to say. We want to know what you have to

01:59:49.240 --> 01:59:56.880
say. And we are asking for you to come and administer to us by your spirit in whatever

01:59:56.880 --> 02:00:05.120
way we need. This is not about us having a week of exciting meetings next week. This

02:00:05.120 --> 02:00:11.120
is about us taking another step closer to fulfilling why we're here. And Lord

02:00:11.120 --> 02:00:17.480
whatever that is, whatever that's about, shove it into us next week. Put it deep into

02:00:17.480 --> 02:00:24.440
our hearts. Get it on us and in us and over us so that we will rise up to another realm

02:00:25.720 --> 02:00:34.720
of obedience and freedom and submission and life and the flowing of your spirit which

02:00:34.720 --> 02:00:42.640
is supposed to take place in us and among us. We commit it to you but we know it starts

02:00:42.640 --> 02:00:52.580
with us. So Lord between now and Sunday morning we're taking inventory. Talk to us. Open

02:00:52.580 --> 02:01:00.320
our minds to see our hearts to understand our ears to hear. Anything you want us

02:01:00.320 --> 02:01:09.620
to know. For we absolutely refuse to turn loose of the covenant and all the things of

02:01:09.620 --> 02:01:17.380
the covenant that are available for us. We refuse to turn loose of it in Jesus name.

02:01:17.840 --> 02:01:25.420
The north is ours and we will invade it. We will influence it and there will be

02:01:26.040 --> 02:01:35.540
people, churches, lives changed for eternity because we refuse to turn loose of what you

02:01:35.540 --> 02:01:45.040
have asked us to do. We're going there. We're going to do it. We will be quick to obey.

02:01:46.580 --> 02:01:50.620
We're not going to fuss with you. We're not going to make excuses. We're not going

02:01:50.620 --> 02:01:58.880
to hang on to our favorite petty sins. We're going to repent and move on and get changed

02:01:58.880 --> 02:02:13.240
to become more like Jesus. So open our hearts and minds to receive this. This isn't at

02:02:13.240 --> 02:02:17.500
its core. This is not about angels. This is about open heavens and that comes from

02:02:17.500 --> 02:02:23.100
obedience and taking a stand on who you've asked us to be and obeying it and taking a

02:02:23.100 --> 02:02:29.220
stand in covenant of what you have bought for us. And we're not turning loose of either

02:02:29.220 --> 02:02:37.880
one. We will be a people who do whatever you command. And we will be a people who

02:02:37.880 --> 02:02:45.300
will take a stand in what you bought and paid for because it's our right. And

02:02:45.300 --> 02:02:50.980
we will hold on to both with everything within us in Jesus' name.
