You guys can collect the offering. I want to introduce our speaker for tonight and then Pastor is going to come up and share some things before our speaker comes. Our speaker tonight, there's a lot that I can say about him and his wife and his family is because Vito and Eugenia are dear, dear friends of Tanya and I, dear, dear, dear friends. So dear that in 2018, under my father's covering, we were ordained and commissioned into the ministry in 2018 together. So we've traveled together, we've done a lot of things together, but the number one thing that we've done together a lot is we spent a lot of time in prayer together over the years. So they're dear friends of mine and I'm excited of what God has for us coming through them tonight. So there's more I can say, but I'll leave it at that. Pastor, if you want to come up here. Could you bring up Revelation 8, New King James Version. Before they ever went to that song of break the seal, open the scroll. The Lord gave this to me and asked Pastor Igor, I said, what are you getting? And then he had the, yeah, God wants to unveil some things tonight. So I want to read this to you and show you a picture of where we're going. I believe this evening. Verse one, when he opened the seventh seal, now this is the scroll that he started opening in Revelation 5, three chapters earlier. He's now to the seventh seal. Every, as they opened scrolls, they would seal them after every message, then it would be sealed. You had to break that seal. Open again, break that seal, open again. And some of us have seals that are locking things away that God wants to break open tonight so that he can take us further. There was silence in heaven for about half an hour. We're going to do that, not for a half an hour, but we're going to do that because there's a progression here. And I saw the seven angels who stand before the throne or before God and to them were given seven trumpets. Then another angel having a golden censure came and stood at the altar. He was given much incense that he should offer it with the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar, which was before the throne. And the smoke of the incense and the prayers of the saints ascended before God from the angels hand. There's going to be a portion at the end of Vito's message that is going to involve us praying. I believe our prayers are going to go through this process right here. And an angel is going to take incense and he's going to mix it with our prayers at the end of this message. And the smoke of the incense, verse four, with the prayers of the saints ascended before God from the angels hand. Once that takes place, verse five, then the angel took the censure, filled it with fire from the altar and threw it to the earth. And there were noises and thunderings and lightnings and an earthquake. See the progression? He wants to break the seal that is locking things away in our life. Then we're going to take a few minutes and we're just going to honor him with silence. And Vito's going to come and reveal what God wants done. Then the prayers will go up before God. And once that's completed, God is going to release some things into our lives who've broken the seal. Into our lives who've prayed the prayers from the bottom of our heart. And it's going to be very dramatic. I'm not saying in the physical, doesn't have to get dramatic in the physical. It might, but it doesn't have to. But in us, in our spirit, it's going to get very dramatic. Noises, thunderings, lightnings and an earthquake. Why? Because he is going to invade the parts of our lives that we've held sealed shut. We're going to break that open right now. And then we're going to go silent for a bit. Then Vito's going to come and speak and that portion of scripture is just going to walk through. So I'm going to ask all of us to do this, if you would. Because I don't know who exactly the Lord's dealing with here tonight. So if you'd all stand. Now this is what I'm going to lead you in prayer, so it's not... So you say, I don't know what I'm going to be praying, so I'm not going to pray. This is what I'm going to lead you in prayer. I'm going to, we're going to ask the Lord to break the seal that is hiding those areas in our life. He's going to break it and open us tonight. And once he's opened us, that's going to be Vito speaking. He's going to open us. And once the word has penetrated and laid us bare, then the prayer goes up. Okay, so we're just going to simply ask him to break the seal on us. You good with that? Repeat after me, dear Jesus. I simply ask you to break the seal on my life where things have been hidden, kept in secret, kept in the dark. Open me up. Expose me to what? Expose me to your eyes in Jesus' name. Amen. Amen, you may be seated. Let's wait upon the Lord and pray in the Holy Spirit. Pray, pray on the keyboard. Pray, pray from your spirit. Oh Jesus. Jesus, we acknowledge our insufficiency. Spirit, we acknowledge our infirmity. For we don't know how to pray. For what to pray? How long to pray? What vocabulary to use when we pray? So Holy Spirit, we rely on your grace. That you would do the things that are in Jesus' heart tonight. Take the things that belong to Him and give Him to us tonight, God. And I bless you, Lord. And I thank you, God, for your holy presence and for your goodness and kindness to us. You have been good to us, Lord. Thank you. Thank you, Holy Spirit. Well, how are you doing tonight? Are you doing okay? It's good. I'm very glad to see you. And as Igor mentioned that we go back, we go back a few years. I actually used to live here for 17 years in Lakeville, a little bit in Burnsville and Savage. So, this is like our second home. We moved to Springfield, Missouri about five years ago, if I'm not mistaken, for the call of God. But still, Minnesota is our second home, if you will. And we have a lot of friends here, families, so we are blessed to be here. So thank you, pastors. Thank you, Igor, Tanya, for inviting us. And you got another slob preaching to you. I'll try not to yell, okay? I'll try not to yell. So, we will be doing lessons. So, we'll be learning from the Lord and from the Bible. And I believe God wants to open something to us and break those seals. You know, it takes God to break the seals, because the scroll is the mysteries of God. It's the prophetic words for our life. And they're sealed, they're classified. And it takes a certain level to break that of anointing in our life. That whatever God plans for you and for me, that it will come forth. Whatever words God spoke over your life, that would they come forth. So, today we're going to be talking about raising up holy priesthood of intercessors. Now, you have to understand that God does everything, absolutely everything, through prayer and intercession. In fact, in 2nd Psalm it says, God tells his son, ask of me, and I will give you the nations for your inheritance and the ends of the earth for your possession. So, the essence of intercession is asking. When God tells you for the things to ask him, that's intercession. When you receive by the Holy Spirit from God, what to ask for, that's intercession. So, everything that God does, he does through prayer and intercession. And before he does anything, he reveals his plans to his prophets and his servants. God doesn't hide anything from his servants and his prophets. He reveals those things, and then he tells us to pray. He reveals us things so we can pray. What is on the heart of God? And that is what makes us intercessors, people of prayer. We are called, we know that. And before God sets in our calling, there's a calling and there's a setting. So that distance between the calling and the setting, before God does that, he establishes us as people of prayer. The Bible says that we are the living stones. And every living stone will be tried. Jesus, precious cornerstone, was the stone that was tried before it was set. So, between the calling and the setting, there's testing. No one can get out of that. You will be tried. Because when God sets you, he gives you a measure of authority and power. God does not play loose with power and authority. This is why he will try you first before he gives you anything. So to grow in rank and power, you will be tried. So a lot of people are called, very few people are set in their calling. Because when you're set, everything you say, everything you do has impact and implications. Before I'm set, I can say anything. I can joke around and nobody would care. But if I'm set in my calling, whatever that may be, apostolic prophet, whatever that may be, when God set me, he gives or entrusts me a level of authority and power that impacts millions of people. This is why we can see a minister that is set. There's things that he's not supposed to do, it impacts global church. So before God sets us, he wants to make us people of prayer. People of prayer. Now Jesus, it says, sits at the right hand of God. He has ascended and sat at the right hand of God, which means that now Jesus is the administrator of God's will. God made Jesus head. He made him head of all power, authorities, everything. He's the head. He's the administrator of God's will. He's in the position of Christ. He rules through prayer. Jesus is a man of prayer. Now we look at the gospels. In Luke 5.16 he says, So he himself often withdrew into the wilderness and prayed. It is not a season of prayer that Jesus had to do. He's a man of prayer. Even now, he's praying. Even now, it's a lifestyle. There's no seasons, you know. People think, well, I have a season of prayer. No, it's a lifestyle. Now prayer gives God permission to break into our reality to fulfill his purposes. The Bible says, psalms 115 verse 16, The heaven, even the heavens are the Lord's. But the earth he has given to the children of man. Now we understand that God in Genesis by royal decree gave to possession to Adam, to mankind, the earth, water, land and atmosphere by royal decree. He gave it to Adam, to us, to rule. So now for God to intervene, he needs us to partner with him. To come in and do anything. He needs man to partner with God. So when the devil came in, he can't just come and take it. He needs to partner with people. And the only way the spiritual realm can rule in the dominion of man is through man. And how that happens is where heaven and darkness affect this natural reality is through the mode of altars. Altars is what connects the supernatural to the natural. Altars give access to the supernatural powers to come and manipulate the natural realms. So the altars of darkness are established by people that gives access to demons come in legally and manipulate the environment and take territory. They need altars. For God to come and control the territory. He needs altars. Altars is what connects the spiritual realm to the natural. And it involves priesthood. So prayer is a priestly function. It's a priestly function. Demonic altars have priests that are trained. Priests are trained. They know what they're doing. There's things they have to do to manipulate the spiritual realms. There's sacrifices that they have to bring to manipulate, to draw the dark forces into the area or the sphere of influence. So priests are people that are trained. You can do a lot of things in ignorance but you cannot do priestly ministry in ignorance. You cannot do it because priests are trained. You must be recognized by God as priest. The Bible says that Jesus made us, after his resurrection, kings and priests. Through the order of Melchizedek that's the heavenly priestly order where God appointed Jesus as the high priest according to the order of Melchizedek. And Jesus appoints us to do priestly ministry according to the order of Melchizedek. It's a priestly ministry. It's a ministry of prayer. In Revelation chapter 1 verse 5 it says that I'll read half the verse. To him who loved us and washed us from our sins in his own blood and has made us kings and priests to his God and Father. Jesus had to wash us with his blood. He had to regenerate our spirit. We are priests through the blood of Christ. That is the qualifier. The washing of his blood. Priests that are called by God are washed with his blood from their sins and are set apart. It is the setting apart. It is the setting apart. Therefore, priests or people that practice sin are disqualified from priesthood. You can have people put you in any church position. You can go to a Bible school. You can get all the degrees you can. And they can call you Reverend, whatever. But only God can recognize you as a priest or disqualifier. So priests must be trained in the things of God. Hebrews 514 says those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil. So to be a priest before God not only you have to be set apart you have to live life of temperance and disciplines. There are disciplines that you have to do. There's protocols that you have to follow. You don't wander in into priesthood. But here's the thing. God deals with us through altars. When we begin to pray consistently every day, specific times, specific hours, discipline what is happening is a priesthood is being established an altar is beginning to take shape. Because in order for the altar to be functional there has to be consistent priesthood around it. So every day the time of prayer if you come consistently, consistently day to day, day to day, day to day you're beginning the priesthood. You're building a prayer altar. Now there are sacrifices because the spiritual realm or the currency of the spirit realm is sacrifice. That's the language of the spirit world, sacrifice. demonic or godly or righteous sacrifice. And then there are three main sacrifices that the righteous altar requires according to Matthew chapter 6. The first one is Jesus says that when you pray meaning there's an established prayer in your life He says don't be like the hypocrites. Don't live your life in the natural. Don't pray before people, you know, only on church services. Because your reward will be in the natural they'll just, you know, clap. That's it. That's the extent. But rather He says what really counts is when in the secret of your heart, in the chambers of your heart when you walk before God God sees the secret of the heart your posturing your prayer and then He rewards it in a way that can be discerned. The next sacrifice is when you fast. Don't fast once a year with church just so people, so you don't feel like you're not fasting. Again, don't be the hypocrite that walks in the natural around people making sure that people notice because they will get reward by people saying that's amazing, you just got your reward. That's your compensation for what you're doing. You just wasted time. But when you do it before God in secret of your heart because He who searches the heart He who searches the heart the motives of the heart because fasting is an affliction of our soul and because altars are place of exchange we bring suffering we bring our weakness in exchange for His power that sacrifice So consistent fasting, so consistent prayer, consistent fasting, and the third is giving. It's a sacrifice. It's in relation of how much you have, the giving, like how much. The widow's two mites was a lot. It's in the relation of what is your world. Sacrifice always hurts. There's suffering involved. That's when it counts. When we suffer, not for what we do, when we suffer for the things we do, it's a just compensation. It's a payment. It's a payment. So their equilibrium is reaching the spirit realm. We do something wrong. They're suffering. It's a payment. But when we suffer unjustly, when we suffer for Christ, when there's pain, it's currency that's been accumulated in the spirit realm. It's currency. We look at Jesus, the greatest altar, the cross, the greatest altar ever built by the Holy Spirit. The greatest altar. When Jesus began to suffer, the Bible says he did no sin. And there was no deception in his mouth. So when the Pharisees and the priests, when they started striking him, he didn't do anything wrong, even though they charged him that by calling himself the Son of God, according to the law, he deserved death. Law came from Moses. And when Moses took the rod and he struck the rock, which is Christ, water flowed out. So Jesus, when God struck him, when pain to his soul, the affliction began. Not only pain in his body, but the affliction of his soul. Because he didn't do anything wrong, because he was blameless, all of that capital started to build in the spiritual realm. It's built for us. That's called grace. The sufferings of Christ. Even now, it's currency in the spiritual realms available for us. So suffering for the things you have not done is currency, spiritual currency. I remember my father. I had a sister. She died when I was three. Now she was born with cerebral palsy. And my dad said, recently we had a conversation about that. He said, when the doctors looked at when she was born, her name was Natalia, when she was born that her bones, they would start seeing signs. And they told her that she's not going to live long. So we were walking from the hospital and we were weeping. Like ministering to God, living life for God is a religious crime. For 14 years, they were feeding her through special means. I mean, her head was big and her body was small. 14 years. And my mom says, you know, we fasted. I mean, that brought us into the into the place of prayer and fasting, like this whole situation. And God spoke to me and he says, with sorrow, I have entered your house. And he says, she is a flower that will be a blessing to you. So when she died, I believe it was 1984. I was three years old. She died shortly after that in Ukraine. My dad becomes a pastor. In one day, the pastor just walks out and they're like, okay, what are we going to do? Brother Victor, you're going to be the next pastor. God puts him in his position in one day. Revival breaks out in our city. He says, anything I would do, I would make money. I mean, the resources just came in. I remember we did tulips. We were selling tulips. I saw the pile of money on there. But remember, we live in the communist country. People made same amounts. I mean, it was just resources opened up. Deliverance, healings in church. Power broke out. Because suffering is currency. In the spiritual realm. When you suffer, not for the things you've done, but you suffer according to the will of God. I know it's not popular to say that. But sometimes God breaks in through suffering. 1 Peter 219. For this is commendable if because of conscience toward God, 1 Ender's grief, suffering wrongfully. For what credit is it if you are beaten for your faults? You take it patiently. So the question is, where do I start? Where do I start? The first thing where we start is we're getting washed with the blood of Jesus Christ. That's the starting point of priesthood. It's getting cleansed from our sins. The second is setting ourselves apart to God. That's what holiness is. It's setting apart to God. Did you know there are levels of holiness? There's levels of holiness. Yeah, there is. So when we, in our hearts, turn our hearts towards setting ourselves apart. That's where it begins. Because to build an altar, there's one main requirement. It's faith. It is impossible to please God without faith. For one must believe that he is and reward those who diligently seek him. Faith. That's the requirement. You have to believe in an invisible God. So faith. So by turning your heart, we're activating faith. Because, you know, we know ourselves. How far? Oh, God, help us. Jesus. Jesus. So next step is we start establishing priesthood. We deal with sin in our life. We set ourselves apart to God and said, okay, I'm building an altar in my house. Oh, God. I am the result of an altar that has been in my generations. My grandmother, my father says she was a woman of prayer. And when I say woman of prayer, that means praying long, hours upon hours, upon hours in the Holy Spirit. And during the times of war, World War II, and as war broke out, an angel of God would appear to her at night and he would give directions. He would say to pack up, set off the horses, take the things and go to this city. The prophetic was so spot on. My aunt, that is dead now, she wrote a book. She kept a diary. She's with the Lord now. But she wrote a book. And she says that before the war started and they lived in Ukraine in the city called Mariupol. And they went to a prayer meeting. So my grandfather and my oldest uncle or my dad's older brother. And the Holy Spirit said that tomorrow the city will be taken without a fight. Germans are going to come in. They're going to loot everything. All of the stuff is going to be thrown out into the road. I said my people don't take anything. It is a curse. Don't touch anything. Don't touch anything. Don't touch anything. So she says they come home from the prayer at night and they're wondering what is happening. Nothing on the radio. I mean, it seems like they were begun but they seem not close. They don't know anything what's going on. And so in the morning they wake up. The Panzer Division already in the city. Motorcycles, Germans, everything. The looting begins and they're just watching how things get thrown outside and just like the Holy Spirit said what happened and one person from their congregation took a few things. So when they were in the prayer house I don't know, there were houses built inside the... they would dig out a hole and put like a roof on top of that. I don't know what it's called. It's called Zimlanka. If you know what I mean, it's like inside the ground. The houses are inside the ground. And so the praying and then the bombing started happening, the counterattack. And so this brother that took the stuff he got filled with fear. He ran outside and he got struck by shrapnel and he died immediately. Another instance she says when God said the angel said to pick up and leave and so they were going and they had a horse, a cart and there were two roads and so my grandmother and my grandfather they were arguing like should we go right or we go left? Like where are we going? So my grandfather said you know what let's pray and ask God and where the horse will go that's what God is leading us. So they pray and the horse goes right. Later they find out that the town that there was on the left side or the road left to the town there were actually shooting people, the Germans were cutting them off and they were shooting and they were killing all the people that tried to escape, break through the lines. Another incident when they were traveling they had chickens and the chickens that laid eggs were very precious because they would feel the family and they had a sister with them an older sister, she was a widow she was older so she looked over the children and one of the kids the chickens were in this basket with the cover on it and so one of the kids lift up the cover and the chickens escaped and my grandmother was very very upset at that widow but the widow was a person of prayer she was an intercessor so she was really sad and they all went to sleep and that night she says the widow wakes up because a man in white he wakes her up, says come with me so they go up the hill and he says there are your chickens so she gathers up her chickens and then she wakes up she's in the middle of the field with her chickens in her arms she runs home, knocks on the door says, we found the chickens so, alters I am the result of a generational alters the righteous altar that was built in my generations this is why I'm here so when you build an altar in your home you start praying every day start fasting at least once a week start sacrificing your money, giving it's an established priesthood an altar and a sacrifice on it it's a righteous altar righteous alters they speak they speak into your generations then you start seeing your family starting coming together things starting to shift curses begin to break because of a functioning altar the bible says in Genesis that when Abraham went anywhere he would pitch the tent he would build an altar and call on the name of the Lord so he came to Bethel and he put the altar on a high place He calls upon the name of the Lord. Time goes by. His grandchild, Jacob, is running from Issa. He ends up spending a night there. He puts a rock under his head. He falls asleep and behold, he didn't know he was in the place where his grandfather has built an altar and it was still speaking. He saw a ladder set on earth into heaven. And he saw angels ascending and descending, not descending and ascending. They were ascending from the altar. And he saw God, the Lord standing on top. And he receives the word of God. And he wakes up and he says, this is the house of God. And I didn't even know it. And he became afraid. Do you know why he became afraid? He became afraid because he was not right with God. And what God shows up is dangerous. When his holiness comes, it's dangerous. And we feel we're afraid for ourselves. Jacob did not choose the place where he would spend. The altar chose Jacob. That's where he received the promise. That's where he was dealing with God. God, if you bless me. When I come back, 10th of what I owe, I give to you. So altars are the place of exchange. God will start dealing with you when you have a functioning altar. When you're a priest recognized by God. Where do you start? One hour a day of prayer in the Holy Spirit. If you're not baptized in the Holy Spirit yet, content for the baptism of the Holy Spirit. The greatest gift God gave us was the Holy Spirit. The greatest gift the Holy Spirit gave us was the tongues. Tongues are the pathway to God. Spirit to spirit. Deep calls on to deep. It's a pathway directly to God. Satas are speaking in tongues all the time. Pray without ceasing. Pray in the Holy Ghost. Between you and God. And he'll start building you up. He who searches the heart. He starts searching your heart. You pray in tongues and you see problems in your life. You say, God, I see it. I repent of it. You know when you start seeing things, when you pray in tongues, you start seeing things that you're doing wrong. He who searches the heart knows what's in the mind of the Spirit. You want to know what's in the mind of the Spirit for your life. Pray in the Holy Spirit. You will know where to go. You know direction. You're not aimlessly walking and living this life. You know exactly where you need to be. One hour of prayer a day. One day a week of fasting. And giving. Three things. But going back to first. Being washed clean from our sins. In many of our lives, we have demonic altar speaking in our lives. And how do we know? Well, because we have curses in operation. How do you know there's a curse? All curses are patterned. They're cyclical. They always repeat themselves. Do you know why? Because there's intelligence behind it. There's an entity that's on assignment against you and he has legal rights to be there. And you pray and you pray and he... Accident after accident. Death in the family after death in the family. Cancers, diabetes, divorces. And people pray and they don't know what's going on. There's intelligence. There's this altar, demonic altar that is speaking. It's still speaking. It's not been destroyed, demolished and new altar hasn't been built. When Gideon was called, what did God tell him to do first? He said, go to your father's house and do what? Destroy the earth. Tear down the image and then build me an altar. So first is we're destroying demonic altars in our life and our generations and our bloodlines. Deals that were made in generations in our fathers, grandfathers, great grandfather's times where they made deals with the devil, made contracts, sold you down the line and now you're the recipient of those curses and we don't even know why. So tonight we'll be praying prayers. I will lead you through every prayer. We're going to pray them together. We're going to go into the bloodlines, the mother side, the father side. We're going to cover two bloodlines. Then we're going to pray for the doors that we have opened, unforgiveness, spirits of bondage, immorality. We will go line by line, witchcraft. I will lead you line by line. We will pray, prayer of repentance. We will ask Jesus to wash us with his precious blood. Then we will pray the prayer of breaking agreements with demons, breaking contracts and breaking those alters. And we're going to command them to be gone from my life in the name of Jesus Christ. And we'll do it together, corporately. Are you ready? Let's go. Stand up. Oh Jesus, repeat after me. Jesus, I repent for the sins of my mothers and the sins of my fathers in the bloodlines, in my generations. Forgive us, Jesus, for all sins and inequities. I repent. Forgive us, God. Wash us with their precious blood, Jesus. And in the name of Jesus Christ, I break all generational alters. I break all generational curses. I break all contracts with demons in my generations, in the name of Jesus Christ. I break its powers over me. I break its fruits over me. I break its fruits over me. And I command it to be gone from my life. In the name of Jesus Christ, rise up and be gone. In the name of Jesus, come out now and be gone. Say, Jesus, I repent for all pride and rebellion against your will in my life. Forgive me, Jesus, and wash me with your precious blood. And in the name of Jesus Christ, I renounce and I break my agreements with the spirits of pride, spirits of rebellion. I don't want it anymore. I command it to be gone from my life. I break its powers over my life. I break its fruits over my life. I break its fruits over my life. In the name of Jesus, I command you to rise up and be gone from my life. In the name of Jesus Christ. Say, Jesus, I repent for all bitterness and all forgiveness. I repent for cursing people and myself. I repent for anger and revenge. I repent for lies and deception. Forgive me, Jesus. Wash me with your precious blood from all of it. And in the name of Jesus, I break my agreements and I renounce spirits of bitterness, spirits of unforgiveness, spirits of anger, spirits of revenge, all the lying spirits. I don't want you anymore. I command you to rise up and be gone from my life with all of your powers, all of your fruits, all of your roots, because now, in the name of Jesus, leave. If you're coughing, that's normal. I repent for all sexual sins of all types and kinds. I repent for drunkenness and drugs. I repent for self mutilation, for cutting myself in every way, for attempted suicide, for wishing to die. Forgive me, Jesus. Wash me with your precious blood from all of that. In the name of Jesus, I break every spirit of sexual immorality, of drunkenness and drugs, self harm, suicide, spirit of death. I break my agreements with you. I break your powers over my life, your fruits and your roots. And I command you to rise up and be gone from my life in the name of Jesus Christ. Come out and be gone in the name of Jesus. Say, Lord, I repent for all occult practices in my life. I repent for all false religions and worshiping false gods. I repent for witchcraft, manipulation, sorcery, divination, fortune telling. Forgive me, Jesus. And wash me with your precious blood. And in the name of Jesus Christ, I break my agreements and I renounce all the spirits of witchcraft. All the spirits of divination. Every occult spirit. I don't want it anymore. It does not belong to me. I break its powers over my life, its fruits and its roots. And I command it to rise up and come out out of my life in the name of Jesus Christ. Be gone from my life. Be gone from my life. I accept Jesus as Lord of my life. I commit myself to him. I am his royal priesthood. I am a living stone. In the name of Jesus.
