John 1010. Good morning to all of you. And I pre-say that for those who are on the way. It's a good day. It's a good start of things here this morning. John 1010, I want to talk about just a little bit because we're going to pray on something. The Lord opened up to me something simple, but it's really deep. And we saw it happen at TBO last night. I spoke for a little bit, but Brian got up. Pastor Brian was a preaching machine last night. It was like, yeah. And so the altar ended up full and we saw God break into generational things. And whenever that's said, a lot of times we'll think of deliverance ministry. You know, we take authority over this generational demon that passed down. And we kind of capsulize it. And that's the end of that. But really salvation power, salvation means to take the limits off. Damnation means to put the limits on, right? And actually the word picture that goes with the word salvation is take the limits off by the finger of God. So the Holy Spirit gets in there and just takes the limits off. Well, when you break into generations, which we have been explaining vision-wise, the Lord has assigned us to reach the generations, right? And so we're always looking to the next generation to pass the baton. Well, if we think about it, it's like the Lord's really talking to us about our family line first, right? And so when someone comes and we're ministering to them, we're ministering to their family line. Both sides of their family that created them, that put into them information, misinformation, good information, all that stuff. And at that moment, God's busting into their family line. It might be for the first time, maybe there's many people that are born again and know Christ, and there's been a legacy and all of a sudden there's been a couple that just don't know Him and don't want anything to do with them. Well, you're breaking into something that's already been established. And that's a lot of fun because there's not as much of the other going on. You have that family line that's come down and it's been generations of Christianity, unless it was generations of religion. That's actually messier than if they just were out on, you know, carousing and doing whatever, right? Because it gets twisted. It gets twisted in the mind and it's a half truth. And then it's very hard to hear the truth where when you come from absolute darkness, the truth is the truth. And you can see it. It's absolute light compared to your darkness. But then when there's a twist, that makes it a little bit harder. And so religion has gotten into family lines. It's one of the big enemies I see when I minister to people at the same time. There's generational sins that come down. But there is a purpose that comes down the generational lines. I mean, if there was no sin, and we're created just live on this earth or whatever, God would have brought two people together, right? To create a child who's going to carry the same types of giftings, the same types of things lit up maybe in a different way. And it would just progress so that it's almost like music. You get music in a family line and somebody's just got their three little cords dangling, dang, dang, you know? You get a few generations of that rolling. All of a sudden, they ain't three little cords anymore. It becomes very, very like, wow, that's just intense. We're seeing it where, you know, we've got a couple grandchildren that just sit down at the piano and never had a lesson. And they're like, I heard this. And they're all over it. And you're like, wow, it's because there's been generations of music passed down. It isn't because everybody's been up early in the morning teaching music, even though you need to learn it. It's because there's gifting there that has been passed down from generations. What is your family supposed to be doing? What's your family line supposed to stand for? What is the, you know, what is the thing that has been brought from one generation to the next? And we looked at the story of Jesus and the story with Mary, you know, and it always mentions family line, right? The house of David. Why was that important? Because what was supposed to happen had to be in that family line. So it wasn't just that God chose Mary. It was there's a whole plan from the beginning, one generation after the next. So what is the plan for the last days? Because you were born for such a time as this. So something was supposed to culminate for such a time as this. Right? And so what many times happens is the demonic realm, the same way you have assigned angels. And many times angels will pass from one generation to the next as a guard, right? Somebody goes home, they just move right on. They have history of us, but so does the demonic realm. The demonic realm is more like, no, we have to keep this particular sin rolling because, man, it's going good right now. It's accumulated to a point that it's destroying people, not only their family, but the people around their family. This is, you know, and so that's why the war looks the way that it does. Because it's a culmination. We are in this hour as a last days ministry, as a house of revival, as a place to unify and come together as a regional section, regional ministry to affect the north, to affect everyone around us. But that effect isn't that we pray and we wait for someone to come in the door and hope God changes them. The effect is God busted into my generations, right? And just was like flight in the middle of darkness. And so now when I'm around people, I want to see the same thing happen for them that happened with me and better and more. So this is where you kick into words of knowledge, words of knowledge. Many times we just go, oh, it was a thought for me personally. Now if you think about it, it's been God speaking into the generational line to recall something within your spirit, to identify something within your spirit. That's to add to the thing and the place where you came from. That's how big this is. So deliverance is a part of it. I wouldn't say we're a deliverance ministry here at this church because deliverance ministry, that's all they do. Everything's a demon. We're just focused on demons. And if we can just get the demons, okay, so they need to get up out of the way, right? We're aware of that. God rendered them powerless. At the same time, we give them the power to enter back into the generational line. And so they get kicked out. But that's not the all of it. Why can they come and sit? They can come and sit in our generational line from lack of repentance. Lack of knowledge in the word and lack of repentance. The word repent, I said last night at TBO actually means not just to turn around, that means get new information, right? So when you get information from the word and you see how the kingdom of heaven operates, you realize, hey, we have not been operating like this. That is not what our family line looks like. And all of a sudden, you want to line up to the heavenlies and how God would do things. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it already is in heaven. We're to pray that so that we line back up with His will and His destiny for a life. Amen. Amen. It is His will that we are saved. It is His will for us to be healed. All the things that He bought on the cross was to add to us and deliver us so that what the purpose was in the family line, it could take place. And we could minister in these last days. Amen. So deliverance many times is just booting something out of the way that's trying to block something. It's not the all. The all is the repent of heart. Repentance is a form of deliverance. It's the biggest form of deliverance there is. I'll just let that soak for a little bit. Because you don't usually hear that in some of the the deliverance ministries. It's one of the biggest forms because when I say God forgive my sin, the word forgive means a great sending away, and the power of that thing lifts off of me. Now the limit, salvation power, takes the limits off. It's the biggest form of it. And so many times we're carrying something demonic or we're carrying something that we're just like, I'm just wrestling with this thing or whatever. Well, stop looking at the thing and start looking at your heart. Start looking at who's sinned against you that you need to forgive? And what did I participate in willfully or unwillfully? I don't care. I'm just gonna get it taken care of. We have to put things under the blood of Jesus. And then that causes the giftings that have been passed down to have a freer way to move. Huh? It causes us to have a different perspective about our gifting. You know, in Old Testament there were brick layers and their family was brick layers and the next generation was brick layers. That doesn't mean they couldn't do anything else, but it does mean they were good at it. Right? And so the psalmist would end up bringing up another psalmist and it would just go down through generations. Then there's added things that are unique to you that come alive. They just come alive. But it comes through repentance. So this is what John 1010, we John 10 6. Jesus used this figure of speech with them, but they did not understand what he was talking about. So he came at it like this. So Jesus said, again, I assure you and most solemnly say to you, I am the door for the sheep leading to life. Right? So to get to the door, we have to see the door, which means we need information about the door. And once we have that information, we realize we can't just waltz on in the door. We have to come through Jesus and what he did for us. And you can't go around it. You got to go through it. All who came before me as false messiahs and self-appointed leaders are thieves and robbers, but the true sheep did not hear them. I am the door. Anyone who enters through me will be saved and will forever and will go in and out freely and find pastor. Or what that means, the word picture is spiritual security. Oh, that sounds nice, doesn't it? But you have to go through the door. And so we go through the door, trueness, but sanctification makes us revisit our poor information so that we get different information so that we're able to use what Jesus did because we went through that door and apply it for things to change. It's simple gospel, right? But simple gospel has to be, we have to be reminded of simple gospel because when we come into something like open heavens especially, I mean, we're looking for legs to grow out. And I mean, our brain just goes, yeah, God to do it all, right? You know, let the glory fall. But if you don't have the horse in front of the cart, now we're backwards. And so there always has to be make a way straight for the Lord to show up. You're not trying to get perfect, you're just acknowledging how jacked up we are in certain areas. I mean, we're just being real. And so I am the door. Anyone who enters through me will be saved and will live forever and then goes on and says spiritual security. The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I come that they may have life and enjoy life and have it in abundance to the full, to let it overflows. I find it interesting, there's two schools of thought on this that I had never looked at because people take that scripture and they use it for the devil all by himself, right? The thief comes. But he's actually talking about in the whole part before that, people skipping the door and trying to get in some other way. That's like a robber. So we put her over on the devil because he's the thief, right? And we would never come in and steal anything from God. I have people that come into prayer lines, they don't want to serve, they don't want to be a part of anything. They don't have a repentant heart, but they want what they saw someone else get. That's the thief. Sorry, you got to go through the door. Go through the door and find a time of repentance. Find a time where you own your stuff. Find a time where change is coming. The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and enjoy life and have it in abundance to its full, till it overflows. I am the Good Shepherd. The Good Shepherd lays down his own life for his sheep. And so he goes on and talks about that. But this morning, we're going to start out just by praying that our hearts would be open to the main foundation so that we set the stage, right? We've been working on this in prayer. We probably worked on it last night. We worked on it the night before for prayer. Praying for the church or that we would have hearts of repentance. Right? So the main focus is to be at the door, to be with the door, to be getting in the door, to whatever stage of life that you're in, and then to treat the door, the Great Shepherd, the way he should be treated. All these things will be added unto us if we seek first him and his kingdom, him and his way of doing things. So even as worship starts this morning to focus everything, we're seeking him and his kingdom. We don't have to worry about signs and wonders. We don't have to worry about any of that. That just is what follows him, right? And if you worry about that, then you'll put all your focus on. You actually forget about the one that's here, the one that's the King. So let's stand. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Praise you, Lord Jesus. Praise you, Lord Jesus. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord. Hallelujah. Let's just begin by thanking him for everything he's already done. Lastly, come up out of your heart. And so we do that. Lord, we thank you for everything you've already done, for what you've done, for deliverances that are going to take place and signs and wonders and the magnificent way that you communicate with us, Lord. We're open to all of that, but we want you. But we want you. We want your ways of doing things. We want your kingdom. We want the sphere of your rule, your domain. And we want your angels to line up according to what your will is for this house and for our lives and for the sake of the generations, Lord. We are asking that you would bust into the generations and areas of our family lines that have never been touched before. Lord God, that renewal, change, and salvation power would break through those family lines and establish something brand new, something new, something new that salvation power, something new that has no limits. We're asking for that, Lord God. We're asking for We own the spot that we are in the family, in our family lines. Now we are part of the kingdom of God and we are part of your family. But the souls that are in our family, the flesh part of us did come from somewhere. And Lord God, there was a spiritual vein that came with it. And so we're bringing all that before your throne. That you would use us, Lord God. That you would use us, you impart into us knowledge that we would regret the old way things been done and we would purpose for the change. We are going to represent or represent the kingdom. We are not going to reflect the sinful things that came down the family line. Wash us in the blood of Jesus. Wash us in your blood. Wash us in your blood, Lord God. Wash us clean this morning. Wash our mind so that the mind of Christ sticks out the most in our thinking patterns. Wash our mind, Lord. Wash our soul, our mind, our will and emotions that have been touched by sin. Wash over our flesh, Lord God. It poses itself as an enemy of the cross. Wash over us, Lord. Let your spirit come up on us in the name of Jesus and let your fire come to purify. Let your fire come to purify. Anything that has blocked us from hearing destiny, hearing the next steps, whether it sets itself up against us financially, emotionally, mentally, whatever way that it does it, maybe through sickness and disease, we're announcing today enough, enough, enough, enough. God is establishing a steadfast point that will bring about change. We're not tolerating it anymore. We're not tolerating it. Thank you, Lord, for bringing it down through the heaven lace. Praise you, Lord God. Thank you, Lord. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. See, many times we're blocked from seeing how much God loves us, and it blocks us from seeing everything else, because we're just afraid of him in a way that it's like, well, we're going to get in trouble and whatnot. And so repentance, we stay away from that because it feels funky in that way. I get excited about it because it's like, you know, you go into a room that's all tipped upside down and unorganized like, let's get it done. Let's move it around. Let's get something. Now it can be used for what God intended. That's where the signs and wonders. That's where the place and avenue where he will rest comes, right? So there's much spiritual warfare in this house and above this house even right now. You can feel it. You can feel it. It kind of has that like, we're going to, I guess we're going to, it's like that displace kind of thing, because there's warfare going on regarding cancer, kidney disease, sickness of all kinds, dis-ease in our bodies, because we're coming and we're saying, I believe, therefore I'm going to get new information, anything I'm doing that's opposite of the information that I'm getting from him, Lord, download some things to me that I can see it so that I can make a change. I will make a change and forgiveness comes. A great sending away takes place and deliverance will take place. That's why it's funky. But what I just explained to you is, you know, when you look at what's happening, you just kind of know how warfare works. Even if you came in feeling funky, let there be a smile on your face for God's going to get it. He's going to get at it. He's going to get in there. But we have to have the willing heart to let him do it. That's all that's needed this morning is the willing heart that bows the knee and just says we humble ourselves, Lord God. Change it up inside of us. Change it up. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord. Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah. Let's have the band come and just play some soft music in behind. Because that's part of spiritual warfare. We don't just do it just because we believe in it, but we believe in it for a purpose. We don't know what to say as you want. You pray in the spirit, number one, but it is the sword of the spirit, you know, it is the word of God, but the spirit wields that. It's the spirit through us that wields it, right? She's in a brand. She's in a combo. No, no, no, no, so so. It did. Focus us so we become united after a purpose and a cause, Lord God. Focus is in that we come to a place of purpose and a cause in our worship because we're preparing to go to war this morning. You've made a way where there seems to be no way. Your name is Jehovah Soboeth, the God of war and the appointed time. Things are going to get done here today. It is the starting of good things. Change 2026 will not be the same as 2025. We do not settle for that. We do not settle for that. It's time for jubilee. It's time for change in our bodies, our minds, the way that we approach things. Lord God in our jobs, all of the areas of our life will be affected by salvation power. See, that's where you declare it. When you focus yourself, you grab something by the spirit and say, and here's what we're after. It's like a post. And then you stand post. You stand right next to it like, I ain't leaving this. This is purpose. This is the purpose. The apostolic prophets that are coming in this week are going to be used of God, but we have to seek God first, right? And as we do that, our focus is not on them, but the gifting. Think about it. The gifting is not evangelism. Evangelism can take place, but the main focus is not evangelistic. Have you noticed that? God lined the speakers up because there's war going on in the heavenlies to take us to that next place. We already promised the victory. We are on our way to it. And it starts as individuals. It starts with family lines. And this is where we make a mistake sometimes. We'll be like, you know, you go to church and I'll say, this is where the Lord's saying we're going to go. We're going to build a building. We're going to, you know, lay this whole thing out. People go, yeah. But if there's anything that's going to hold you back is your own personal family line. The thing that was passed on, that's a weakness. And that'll be the button that the demonic realm goes, go, run along, build a building. And then he'll just start touching buttons. And people are like, I don't know why I feel so frustrated. This is what's happening. See, it's a trick. Same old, same old thing he's done. Right? It's the way he wars. Hmm. So we have to be purposeful and uniting because God is going to make a way. Our Lord God, we even lay out to you as tithers, the Lord rebuke the demonic realm. The Lord rebukes it, rebukes it out of our family line. We have right to that as a tither. We have right to that as a tither. Isn't it good to know your rights? When you know your rights, then you can apply those things. Let's go back to praying in the spirit. Today there will be courage put into us. Someone's going to be here, moving and open to God. People are going to be here, moving and open to God, and courage will come on you. You're going to be encouraged by the Holy Spirit, so be ready for it. Courage will come. It's here. The courage is for stay power. The courage is to persevere. The courage is to stand post. Hold the line. Hold the line. Hold the line. We will not back off the ground that was already given us, but we're also open to new land. We're open to new land. We will maintain the old, but we're open to new land. And sometimes there's enemies on that new land that have to be driven off. And so Lord, we just posture ourselves with you that you're going to move. You're going to move on this because you said to go to war for it. So you're the one who is the mighty warrior. We just come into agreement with you. I see a person, but this can fit many people. I see someone in a dark alley and an enemy keeps showing its face and tantalizing you and you take off down that dark alley. And it's this feeling. It's like, I don't know. I don't know. Is he here? The hair in the back of your neck stands up because you know there's an enemy that's coming up and you've done good finding ways to avoid him. God is saying that in this week you're going to turn and face him. I'm not running in dark alleys. That's not where I belong. I'm not trying to find a place to hide. And he's going to give us a way to confront it. We're going to be right in front of it. We're going to be right in front of it. We're going to look it in the eye and say, stop it. Enough. I bind you in the name of Jesus. And we're not going to turn around and start doing that again. Which means you will face fear. It's a sweet place to face it. It's right here at the altar. Right there in praise and worship. I will not fear. I will not fear it's opposite of my father's kingdom. Most of the time it's something that is projected that's not even real. Okay. False evidence appearing real. All right. We can fear false evidence appearing real. And the voice of that thing following is like, I have you now. I have you now. I'm going to take you out just like I did before. Just like in your family line. Just like it never worked for them. It's not going to work for you. You liar from the pit of hell. Go back to where you belong. See, warfare, you don't play. That's not nice prayers. Lord God, we just ask that you would intervene and help us. That's not warfare. Somebody's got to get direct. Somebody's got to repent and cause forgiveness to happen toward another person. And then you turn around and you say, I have nothing to fear. I am covered in the blood of Jesus. I face you now, enemy. I want you to look into my eyes. Because in my eyes is the candle of the Lord. In my eyes, the same spirit that raised Christ from the dead dwells in me. And he's quickening my mortal body. No fear. No fear. You stand post. You hold the line. You're not just holding the line for you. Have you realized that in the things that you fight? You're holding the line for, against what tried to pass down and people who are still alive. And you're holding the line for the people who are next in line. I like what Pastor Verne's mom said before she passed. She said, some things will get kicked out. I probably won't get it all. She said, the rest I'll take to the grave with me. It's not going to be unleashed on my children or my children's children. That's a woman of war. That's somebody who's like... No, no, no, no. Right? Hallelujah. He is going to lose this body from lockjaw. Faith is not even in our mouth, but many times when we go to a dress, the thing that has traumatized us the most. We talk the quietest and our mouth kind of... Or we say nothing at all. And we just hope for his mercy hiding in a corner. You got to get up. You got to get up. I'm telling you he's going to put courage in you. It's going to be super on your natural. You're just going to be like, I've never talked like this before. I've never dressed things like this before. I've never looked it right in the eye and said, hey, no, no, no, no. The Holy Spirit, when it fills you, the Word of God that's in you, it's shut up in your bones. It's like fire. Sure that up within you. Allow him to make you a warrior. Because the ground that we take, we now can invite other people too. We have to say so. We've experienced it. We got the victory. And now I'm heat seeking other people who are stuck in the same spot. I'm heat seeking them. I'm like, I know I'm in for red and where are you? Right? And we find them and deliverance comes to them. Fire it up, Lord, inside of us. Fire it up, Lord. Courage. Courage, come. Courage, come. We're open. We're open right now in the name of Jesus. Courage, come. Causes to come together for a cause. No soldier left behind. We're in this thing to win it. We thank you, Lord God, that you've made the path the way and you have given us the authority to do it. Somebody's here or maybe there's more than one of you are watching online that you've come into prayer warfare. And sometimes we'll do where we said enough. You know, that's how it feels inside of us. Like, stop it. You're like, I can't believe I said that, right? Because we've been trained to fear the backlash. You come out of your bunker and you, you know, shoot out into there. You're like, there's going to be a backlash. Now they know I'm here, right? There's that type of feeling. And that's why he wants us to gird up. That's why he wants us to be in the truth. Then you take the truth of his word. And use that. We live in his truth. We think about it like the mind of Christ. I'm not going to fear the backlash. There's something about war that you just go, I could die today. But man, we're going to get it all the way up to the end. We're going to get ground all the way up to the end. That's the bravery and the courage he wants us to have. So our prayers stay consistently. We're on it like white on rice. Ain't moving. I'm not moving. I'm on it. I'm on it. Do you see that? He's going to put courage in you this week. And it's going to give you stay power to stay on it. To stay on it. You don't change your confession two weeks from now, or when you feel weak in the moment. I ain't changing my confession. Nope. I know who I believe in. He is able. He's able. He's able. And out of your mouth will come the words. And out of the mouth will come the words to shake the generations. Out of your mouth will come the words that will shake the generations, that will split the cords that have been put together to hold this thing together so sin passes from one generation to the next. We will have the cords removed this week. They will be cut. They will be cut. They will be cut. Loosed. In the name of Jesus. I pray that part. In the name of Jesus. In the name of Jesus. In the name of Jesus. Hallelujah.
