I hope everyone's doing well, um, laid on my heart of what to pray about this morning,
um, and hopefully we'll have some time to pray.
But, um, kind of going a little bit, Pastor Vern did it last Sunday.
It's a recap of what Open Heavens was.
And, um, what the Lord laid on my heart.
Now, I wasn't here in every single service,
um, but I wasn't here for half of them.
The other half I watched.
And something that the Lord laid heavy on my heart,
which we all kind of experience with every Open Heaven.
But, um, that this is our assignment.
This is our homework, um, for this year, 2026.
And it's kind of self-explanatory of, like, well, obviously there's a reason
why we have Open Heavens in the beginning of the year.
You know, we're allowing the heavens to, we're not,
we're asking for the heavens to open down.
Um, so that we can encounter the Lord, we can know Him.
And it gives us, in a way, a direction for the rest of the year.
And so we all kind of have that understanding of it.
But I just felt an emphasis on, like,
like, we have to pay attention to what was spoken to us.
Because not only was it good, but, man, it was convicting.
And, like, Pastor Igor said, too,
we, we passed through a threshold.
Is that how you said it?
We passed through a threshold, and there's no going back now.
And so I think we just have to be attentive to that.
And so, um, so Open Heavens 2026,
it's like an outline that God has given to us
to put into practice for 2026.
And it is His expectation for us as individuals
to make up this local body.
So He is testing us this year,
and this is kind of what I got, was the Lord said,
hey, this is gonna be our guideline,
what He expects from us in 2026.
And He's gonna see in 2026
who, in this local body, who is faithful.
He said, I gave you an assignment.
This is now your homework.
He's like, I gave, Igor said, Pastor Igor said this, too.
He said, it's like He gave us all the answers before the test.
And now, the day after Open Heavens, that Monday,
that's when the test began.
And the Lord is saying, I gave you this homework,
this assignment, these answers to this test,
and now it's starting.
Now I will see who's gonna be faithful.
Like Pastor Igor also said,
we have passed through a threshold
that we can no longer go back,
and nor should we want to.
Right?
Now I feel like when we pass through something,
it's always somewhat bittersweet.
Like for an example,
when you are in a newborn stage with kids,
it's so exhausting.
You're like, I can't wait for the next thing.
But then when the next thing comes,
you're like, oh, but like, I love this stage, right?
And I feel like we as humans,
we have that like tie to both,
where we are excited for the new,
but we're also bittersweet where we're like,
oh man, but I love this.
And so I feel like this threshold that we passed through,
that Pastor Igor is saying,
and we don't want to go back,
I don't want to go back.
But there is this bittersweet where we're like,
wow, what we had was special.
And to be honest,
I don't think a lot of us knew that at that time.
And unfortunately, a lot of us don't realize until it's over.
And that's the beauty of being with the Lord
and being in his presence,
because he keeps us present.
He gives us an understanding of what we're actually going through
and appreciating what we're going through.
I think it was Amanda Hill who was saying this,
but I love how she said,
where with the enemy,
and I don't remember all the points,
with the enemy it's like lies and deception,
or his tools,
but with God it's thankfulness and gratitude.
And so when we are thankful in gratitude,
or we are thankful and have gratitude,
we can be grounded in what we're going through.
So what we had last year,
and the years past was good,
and it brought us to this moment.
It's a beautiful thing to be able to be brought to the threshold
and to be able to pass it,
because we did not do that.
It was the Lord.
All we did was repent and say,
yes, my Lord.
And that's his qualifications.
That's his requirement for us.
So we didn't bring ourselves to the threshold.
He brought us there.
And it was only by our obedience.
So he is testing us this year to see
if we will take what he has given us
and work it out in our lives
so that to see if he can trust us in the years ahead,
because there is prophecy that the babes are coming.
Obviously, we're building a building too.
That's not out of necessity.
It's not out of our desire.
It's what the Lord wants.
And so in order for that to come,
and we're kind of instilling this
in our local body right now in our church,
we are prepping as if we are already
a five to seven hundred people member church,
or covenant partner church.
And that's how you prepare.
You prepare now for that.
And I like how Amanda Hill also,
I believe she said,
she said the Lord will provide
not where you're at, but where you should be.
And once you start walking there,
then he'll provide.
So now that we did,
will you be faithful to him this year
in implementing what he has given to us as homework?
And that's really what's important.
That's what we really should be focusing on
because there was a lot of good things
that was said and spoken, prophesied, declared.
But now it's actually walking the walk.
And the deeper we go in him,
the deeper is the responsibility.
It's keeping our convictions
and our homework as well as,
which I think is the most important,
the deeper we can hurt him with our decisions.
So there's responsibility in everything that we do
and we learn that from infancy.
But when we take a step in growth,
there's responsibility, a greater responsibility.
And so with this passing through this threshold,
we no longer can go back
and don't want to go back.
But we also have to understand,
as exciting as it is what's to come,
there's a heavy responsibility in us now.
We no longer can come before the Lord and say,
well, I did not know, you didn't tell me.
He gave us all the answers.
And the hard part is that when we do make a wrong decision,
we hurt him deeply.
And we always have to have that in the back of our mind
that's called the fear of the Lord.
It's not we fear him and we all know this.
It's not we fear him because he can destroy us,
which he can, but it's a fear out of love.
I don't want to hurt my husband in any capacity.
So there is a fear that I have in every decision that I make.
And so we always have to have that concealing
in the back of our mind,
especially since we passed through this threshold.
So I want to review a basic summary
of what each word was given to us.
And then at the end, I want to give, in a way,
my assignment to you or encouragement to you
of what to do with this information,
some practical things, because that's what I am.
I'm very practical.
You can tell me the fire of God,
and I'm like, okay, now is it tangible?
Like describe it to me as a feeling.
I'm very practical. I need to know these things.
So on Sunday, Pastor Brad Breedy, he talked about prayer.
And maybe for some of you,
the type of prayer that he was talking about was very foreign.
And a little bit later on, Pastor Vito Kashubin,
he is someone that Igor and I did ministry at the church with.
And he brought to me this perspective of prayer,
of this laborious, Holy Spirit driven,
fervent, travailing, deep realm of prayer.
And I'm so grateful for Vito for instilling that in us
and giving us an experience in that
because you won't know until you're there,
like Pastor Brad was trying to share.
Some of these things you just can't explain.
You just have to be there.
You have to seek it out.
And then the Holy Spirit will come.
And then you're like,
oh, I remember he was talking about this.
This is what it looks like. This is what it feels like.
So it's a prayer that's laborious.
It's Holy Spirit driven. It's fervent.
It's travailing. And it's a deeper realm of prayer.
It's a prayer that gets things done
and it's not something we can conjure up ourselves.
But it comes from trust of the Holy Spirit
that we are committed and he leads us into that kind of prayer.
And that's a prayer that we should not strive to do ourselves
but desire to go to.
We should be a people of prayer.
We should.
I mean, that is one of the themes
I noticed through this open heavens
is many people were talking about prayer.
On Monday, prophet Brian Holly,
I was not here for this but I did listen to it.
It says leadership driven congregants
that are fueled by a choice made in your heart
for a deep passion for Jesus.
That was a summary.
Leadership driven congregants
that are fueled by a choice made in your heart
for a deep passion for Jesus.
That was the other theme that I noticed
throughout this whole open heavens
is the focus was Jesus.
There's a lot of cool things that he does
but he won't do them unless we are focused on him.
He is the attraction of heaven.
He should be the attraction for us here on earth.
So a leader is usually,
and I believe he spoke something like this
or maybe the Lord was speaking to me
when he was doing that revelation.
But a leader is usually not wanting to do
what God asks of him or her.
When the Lord asks me,
hey, through Pastor Vernon Mary,
I want you to do the first Sunday of prayer.
I don't want to do it.
Do you know how hard it is to prep?
Do you know how much self-death I have to do
in order to be up here?
I've never spoken before Word of Life.
Up on stage, never.
And then all of a sudden I come here
and within a couple of months up on stage
it's a lot of death to self.
And that's one of the things I was battling with this morning.
Oh, Jesus, I need you.
Because literally without him I'm nothing.
I have nothing to give.
And it makes that scripture that Paul is talking about,
I know nothing but Christ and Him crucified.
And to be honest, I don't want to know nothing
but Christ and Him crucified.
Because in Him that's all that I need to know.
So a leader, when the Lord is asking that leader
to do something usually,
they don't want to do it.
But they do it because they love Him.
Their love for Him is greater than their selfishness,
than their flesh.
And so you do what He's asking you to do,
you take those little steps.
And it's not fun, but you know there's growth in it.
And sometimes I hear this a lot
and I don't feel it ever.
But people will say,
oh pastor, you look like you just had a great week
with the Lord, or you look like you spend
every single day with Him,
or you have so much time for Him,
or you probably spend every morning with Him.
And they're like, it's as if I make it look easy
to you guys.
Or a pastor, e-girl makes it look easy.
Or a pastor in a Mary make it look easy.
Or any leader in a leadership role
makes it look easy.
But that's because we're partly dead.
You know, with growth, with understanding who He is,
you have to die.
You have to die to your identity
and you have to take on your husband's identity.
That's why I personally,
my opinion it's not like needed,
but I love when a woman,
when a man and a woman get married
and the woman takes on her husband's last name.
Because she's no...
Tanya Kravitz no longer exists, she's gone.
She will never return, she is dead.
I am now Tanya Kondratjuk.
I am a new creation.
And I love that because it gives me a deeper...
We as women have such a privilege here on Earth.
I don't think we always...
we always tend to look at the negative parts
of being a woman, but there's so many beautiful, positive parts.
And one of them is getting to experience
being a bride,
being fully consumed by His identity.
That wherever I go, they're like,
oh, you're Pastor Igor's wife.
Yes, I am Pastor Igor's wife.
I'm not Tanya Kondratjuk or Pastor Tanya.
I'm Pastor Igor's wife.
I love that.
It's an identity that I have
that's obviously not grounded in my husband,
but it's the idea that I'm grounded in my husband
up in heaven.
So the reason why leaders kind of make
following God and seeking Him look easy
is because they've already died.
There's a reason why they're in leadership.
God has found them somewhat trustworthy
to bring them up to that point.
And the higher He takes you,
what should be is the higher you die to yourself.
And there's a higher consequence,
a positive consequence and a negative.
Knowing your identity and security in Jesus
in order to fulfill what He is asking of you,
because if you don't, it will hinder you
and the glory that He deserves.
Pastor Prophet Holly, I apologize.
Prophet Brian Holly spoke a little bit on that.
I'm kind of taking what he took
and I gave my own words.
But if you don't know your identity
and the Lord, who you are in Him,
if you don't know that you are secure in Him,
the more that you step to fulfill
what He's asking you to do,
it will actually hinder you
and He won't get the glory He deserves.
Because again, it's not about us.
It's about Him. It's about His glory.
I want my husband to be glorified.
Serving Him is usually inconvenient
and that's easier to hear right now
than it is to actually walk it out
and be in that moment.
Serving the Lord, loving Him
and serving Him is very inconvenient.
You don't want to do it.
You would rather be at home
sitting on a couch with a warmer
watching us the service on the TV.
It's so much easier.
It's not an inconvenience.
Or for example, when Pastor Mary
was going through cancer,
it would have been easier for her
to stay home and rest.
No, she chose to come to service.
Why? Because he is here.
Her healer is here.
Not because he's going to heal her
but because she loves him.
There's a draw to him.
Now again, one of those things,
if you have that legalistic mindset,
the religious mindset that prophet
Amanda Hill was saying,
you're going to excuse, I'm like,
well, that's works. We can't do that.
We are preaching against works.
And I feel like this year
we've been trying to get
and understanding the difference
between works legalistically
and works through the spirit.
So it's easier to hear,
oh yeah, serving him is inconvenient
but when you're actually doing it,
when you decide to commit to something
to serve the vision here at this church
and you're with the kids out there
for 20 or for two hours,
when there's a powerful prayer
coming up here
and all you want to do,
oh, I want to go to the prayer
but no, you're serving the vision.
You're serving him. It's inconvenient
to what you want.
So that's why you build your life
around him
and you don't build him
around your life.
He's not an accessory.
He's not this little doll
that you can attach to your life
and be like, oh Jesus,
that's not who he is.
You revolve your life around him.
There's something that Igor and I have done
ever since the kids were born.
We don't live our life around the kids.
There are seasons where you have to,
you know, do certain things
because they're little.
They need that attention.
But Igor and I have never lived this life,
oh, it's about the kids
or, you know, we got to do this
because the kids,
we lived our life as husband and wife
and our kids revolve around us,
around our activities.
And that's how it is with the Lord.
We are his children.
He doesn't revolve his attention around us.
What does Tanya need?
Oh, Tanya needs this right now.
No, I should revolve myself
around the Lord.
Okay, Tuesday, Pastor Jennifer Cannon
churned a Laodicean-filled heart
into a lovesick and anchored intimacy
with a...
Sorry, let me re-say that again.
churning a Laodicean-filled heart
into a lovesick bride
and anchored intimacy
with a foundation built on Jesus alone,
which will be refined through the fire.
And I love the analogy that she took out of that scripture
where you can't build your house on hay and wood.
It's gonna burn.
The only thing you can...
you can build your temple is with his gold
and you have to purchase it from him.
You can't go anywhere else and get it.
So the Laodicean church is a strong...
has a strong independent spirit.
And it makes it about us and not Jesus, the people rule.
You know, and one of the things that we always tend to...
I think our brain does it because it justifies.
I think it was...
I don't remember.
Amanda Hill or Pastor Jennifer.
But she was saying that our brain tries to justify
what's solidified in our heart.
And so hearing all of these things, it's like,
oh yeah, that's good.
And you know what, my brain?
Oh, but it'd be good for this person.
And then I'm like, no.
It's as if it's to me.
There's a reason. I'm part of this local body.
This word is being spoken to our local body.
Guess who they're talking to?
They're talking to us.
That means these things are in us.
Sometimes we try because we come to a spirit-filled church
or because we have certain counters with the Lord.
We sometimes think, oh, but that doesn't...
It's not towards me.
Again, self-righteousness.
Didn't you see what I did last week?
Didn't you see, Lord, I spend every day with you?
What are you talking about?
I have the laodicean spirit in me.
Or influencing me.
Or influencing my decision.
Guys, they're talking to us.
It's in us.
This is why we have to take things seriously.
Our brain wants us to reroute it.
Oh, but like it's maybe to our neighbor
or to the babes that are coming
or the people that just started.
No, we are covenant partners here.
It's to us.
And it's hard to accept.
So the people rule.
Luke warm is indifferent.
It is, in turn, is unbelief.
So being lukewarm is you're indifferent
or in turn, it's unbelief.
No longer dependent on him
as a provider and a source.
He becomes an accessory in our life
instead of being our every breath,
our only sustainer.
We should ask for a fresh appetite
of Jesus consistently asking,
seeking and knocking.
Wednesday prophet Amanda Hill.
This is what the Lord revealed to Amanda Hill
that this decade,
it was the eight.
I don't remember all the names,
but it was the eight.
It's a decade to declare,
proclaim, decree.
Okay, so 2020 is the,
or yeah, the 2020 is the decade.
These next 10 years now,
it's what, next four years.
It's not wild.
Six years, just blink of an eye.
These next four years, it's still
to decree, to proclaim,
to speak out.
So then this year,
the Lord revealed to her certain,
so the Vav, remember the six.
She said this year will be
a year of suffering,
suffering for the Lord,
for his cause.
Not our own personal suffering
of like, oh, I have to fast.
I can't eat.
Oh, I have to lose weight.
Like, that's a personal suffering.
Suffering for the Lord.
That means if it's four in the morning
and you randomly wake up,
when you never wake up,
it's most likely for me,
in my case, it's the Lord.
And the first thought is like,
I should go pray.
And the second thought is like,
ah, I don't want to.
And I'm not, I'm not,
I don't always make the right
decisions, but when I do, I'm so thankful
that I get up out of that bed
and I go pray for that hour.
That's the suffering he's talking about.
It's for him, not for us.
So she said it will be a year
of suffering and bloody,
in a bloody year,
in which we combat
spiritual warfare with
the weapon of communion.
Ah, so, so grateful
that the Lord spoke that through her.
There's so many things as the church,
I feel like even within the last,
let's say, not even
maybe 15, 20 years,
there's things that have been so
buried by the enemy,
that we've been deceived of like,
oh, it's not, it's not that important
or that's legalistic,
it's a ritual,
like we don't have to have prayer
services, certain things
where they've been just buried
and the Lord is little by little
bringing them up and he say,
no, this is important.
And with the right mindset,
communion is not a ritual,
it's not legalistic.
It is a command that he gave us.
And it's very important.
I love communion
because for me, what the Lord revealed
to me, when we started sharing
communion with our children at home,
I remember one time, it's one of those
things where you start talking
and then you're like, whoa, I didn't know, I knew that.
And we were praying and Igor asked
me to pray for, I think it was the body.
And so me, Benjamin, Igor,
I know I was a baby at the time
and I'm holding this.
And I remember when I first came to the Lord,
like radically encountered him,
like he actually encountered me
and not just went to church because I was,
that's what I was brought up.
I remember I accepted him
and every communion, I would just
bawl, I would weep.
And in the beginning, I didn't understand why,
but I was weeping and then the Lord
started revealing to me.
And so when I'm holding this
and I'm praying, I started my prayer
and I said, Lord, I love
communion with you.
And I love that you establish this
because by faith, when I put it
in my mouth, it is Jesus.
And that's why the 70 left him
after he said that.
He said, this is my body.
It's not a symbol.
It is my body.
And us and our human, what do you mean
your body? Cannibalism?
What? No, he said this is my body.
You take it by faith.
And I remember praying and I was like,
Lord, thank you for your communion.
This is the closest that I can be
to you right now.
Because he's sitting next to his father
in heaven.
I said, this is the closest
I can be with you right now.
And it put it in my mouth.
And I remember this thought process
back in the olden days.
The Victorian area or something
like that, in that age.
Where when a boy
and a girl, they fall in love.
The girl would snip a little bit
of her hair and send it off.
Now, I don't know if this is
100% true. I'm sure it happened
somewhat.
But when the boy would receive it through the mail,
it's like, oh, I got a piece of her.
She's not here.
Far away.
But I have a piece of her. That's how I felt
with the Lord.
Communion is so important.
We actually get to be close with him.
And through communion,
we can receive healing.
Remember, we focus our
eyes on him on that
cross and him bleeding.
The perfect lamb.
What an honor
and a privilege it is to take communion.
So when she said that,
I was like, yes, it's a
holy act.
A harvest within a harvest,
she spoke.
Relationships that
we are to be aligned with.
It's important this year, guys.
Who are you
choosing to be in your inner circle?
Who
are you choosing to spend time with?
One thing Igor and I have always
tried to...
We've always tried to
not strive, but that's the only word that's coming
to me. It's to surround
ourselves with people who
know the Lord deeper, who have
gone farther.
Because that instills
a hunger in us.
So who are you aligning
yourself with? Who are you doing
life with?
I want to go back to the
harvest within a harvest,
realigning our
hearts with his heart
for the lost.
We get so caught up
with, oh, we got to do this and that
and we don't...
Okay, I'm
speaking we, but really I'm talking about
me. I don't stop
and think, man, if
my cousin died right now,
she would not be going
to heaven.
And if you have that
thought actually penetrating
your mind
and understand who in your life
if they were to die,
they would be eternally
in hell, away from the
presence of the Lord,
that's where our drive
is. That's who
he's after.
And it was spoken a
couple of weeks back. I don't remember
by who...
excuse me, but
it's not about us anymore.
We are already a new creation.
He's already dealing with us. It's not
about us anymore what
we need to receive. It's about the lost.
We go
to the lost and we get them.
We bring them and then it's no longer
about them. It's about the lost again.
And
we get so caught up
about me.
What can I receive?
What will be prophesied over me?
It's about the lost
and within that harvest he will provide.
Judgment
of sexual immorality
within the house.
I feel like
that one's pretty self-explanatory.
It's one that
nobody really wants to talk about, but it's
happening.
And the one thing that comes
to my mind is even if you think it in
your brain,
even if it comes into it, it sneaks
in a little bit.
You've already done it.
This
is a holy place
and it has to remain a holy place
and he won't come
if it's
not holy, if we are not holy.
It's a hard one to swallow.
Being in the Word.
Again, so fundamental.
Yet somewhat we forget
and our Bible sit with dust on it.
We should be in the Word way more
than we really are.
And I love how Amanda Hill
said this. She said
I mean, I'm going to take my own words.
We have so many resources.
Guys, there is no...
We can't even say, oh, but how?
Oh, we have a phone
with us 24-7.
We churn on the Bible. I love
how she said that. Churn on the Bible
and have it play. We do that
with Netflix.
We do about
our things that have Netflix in the back.
Conviction, guys. Conviction.
Starting
with me first.
Heavenly
portals over altars we have built
for the Lord as we sacrifice
as we are the sacrifice
to receive the revelation.
Because that's the whole point. It's not about the power.
It's receiving
the revelation of who Jesus is
and him getting his glory.
Stretching the
tent or stretching
yourself for the capacity
of harvest.
Thursday, again, Amanda Hill
preparing
for where he is going
to take you. We prepare
by honoring. Honoring our pastor.
Honoring
our covenant partners.
Honoring
anyone who's serving or ministering.
To bring you favor which opens
access to things of him.
She also talked about the key
of authority. The mantle
of integrity and courage.
I feel like that's one that we
tend to forget
is integrity.
Being a person of your word.
If you said,
I think the Lord is calling me
which is a huge statement, we have to
watch our tongue.
I think the Lord is calling me
to Red Lake.
And then you're done a month
later.
You missed it.
Either it was in the beginning
or the end.
And unfortunately, it makes
you look like a fool, and it makes
the Lord look like a fool.
Dangerous game to play.
The Belt of Truth.
On Friday, Vito talked
about establishing prayer altars.
Now you understand when I come up here
and I can pray for like three hours
in tongues and intercession.
Now you know where I got it from.
He talked about
the altars of
establishing prayer altars
as living stones for
intercessional prayers and generational
success in the Lord.
Not generational success
of where my kids will be blessed
and they'll have businesses and they'll
have freedom and they'll have this.
No, they'll know the Lord.
And my ceiling
will be their floor.
And yeah, they might not
be in the worldly eye successful,
but they'll have so much
deep riches when they go to heaven.
I had a dream. My dad passed away.
I was very close with him.
And I had a dream not too long
after he passed away.
And it's a vivid dream that
like, oh, I'm just so thankful the Lord
gave it to me. I'm going to do it quickly because I'm
running out of time.
I remember being in this log cabin
with him and my mom was there too.
And I was in this log cabin
and it's like one of those log cabins
that looks so like
ruggedy.
But when you go to a ruggedy
log cabin, it's dirty.
It's dusty. There's stuff on the floor and
you know what I mean? But this one was
pristine. I remember even thinking
there's no dust anywhere in this
cabin. It was a beautifully
built cabin, a bunch of tools,
everything. It was beautiful.
And my dad and me were talking and I don't remember
the conversation anymore. But I remember
I'm like, okay, well, I'm going to go outside.
I go outside
and there's crops and they're like
10 to 12 feet high every
crop. And I remember
walking and
each crop it was like
like a square
and there was like pathways
around and it was just everywhere
to the eye that you can see. And I
remember going to these crops and one of them
was a zucchini. Again
10 to 12 feet high.
I remember grabbing the zucchini.
It was the size of my arm.
And I remember thinking these are
huge.
How?
And then I remember walking
and my dad joins me and we're walking to
see more crops and a
corn just huge the size of my
arm. I was like
this is wild. And then it's as if
I was still walking.
I saw myself walking with my dad
and I'm like drifting up
and it's just these
squares to the eye can see.
And I remember waking up
and the Lord he said
your father's reward
is in heaven. It's crops
huge as the size of your arm.
My first thought was
thank you Lord because I know everything
that my dad went through and more things that I
never will know until I get to heaven and
he'll share his testimony of Jesus
about that.
But that's what I want.
I want these huge
crops in heaven
not for my glory but
for his.
So that's the generational
success I'm talking about.
Oh my goodness I was thinking
I didn't have enough material.
Thank you Jesus.
He came through for sure.
So he's talking about
to be trained priests that are
heart set apart practicing
a life of discipline.
Becoming trained
priests that are
hard to set apart
practicing the life of
discipline. Prayer
fasting and giving. Suffering
is suffering for
Christ. Not suffering for ourselves
like I have to wait another
hour of service in order to eat.
That's suffering for yourself.
Suffering for Christ
is currency
that blew my mind. It was amazing.
Like Moses
who struck the rock who is Jesus
and water came out. Power and authority.
That's the currency he's
talking about.
Vito also talked about David's
tabernacle. Continuous prayer and worship.
This is my heart.
This is my heart. Corporate
altar gathering. He talks about
personal altars at home
that you will establish through consistent prayer
every single day at 7 p.m.
I remember this one evangelist.
I mean he's just
world renowned now. He's
a Slavic man. But I remember
when we sat together and broke
bread and he shared a testimony.
He's like, for years, he's like
my wife would be so upset with me.
We'd be hanging out with people
7 o'clock or not 7 o'clock, but like
6.30, 6 o'clock came.
We got to wrap up the kids. Go home.
I got to spend time with the Lord.
Talk about an inconvenient time. 7 p.m.
You have to drop everything you're
doing. That means your kids' games.
That means family
gatherings. That means turning off
that TV. That means family
dinners. You drop it all and you go
spend time with him.
Look at him now. He has
a power and authority.
Oh, man.
So put in the
effort to have God's altar
established so that no enemy can
be victorious in our region, in our state.
That's
David's Tabernacle. 24
hour, 24
hour prayer
and worship.
For example, Minnesota
and this is interesting.
Minnesota is
in my eyes known
as a state of firsts.
And the reason for that is I
remember I was doing interpersonal communications
in college, a class, and
this very liberal
professor, at the end we had
a paper to do. And he said
for this paper what you have to do is you
have to write an event that happened
in Minnesota that affected our nation
and that affected our world.
And I remember thinking Minnesota
really, and he's like
and as if he
read my mind, he's like you would be
surprised how many firsts Minnesota
has.
Quiet little northern
state has so many
firsts. Two examples. Number one,
member 35 W. Pritch
affected Minnesota, affected
our nation, affected the world.
George Floyd.
Now I'm not saying these are all good stuff.
But can you
imagine if we created an altar,
a corporate altar gathering
of 24 hours,
seven days a week prayer
and worship, what do you think
Minnesota would be known for? The
other one. There's a guy named Carl
N. Plateau.
He established, he took
he started this in Minnesota.
He took, probably
might not be good about it, but
he took the business realm of banking
brought it to the hospitals
and he took that small community
hospital and he made it into a
healthcare system.
That not only affected Minnesota
because it started here, Fairview
was the first hospital that agreed to it.
Brad Breedy.
Fulfill the sacred vision God
is given with hard work, unity,
submission and obedience. Working
for the vision, not for what you want.
Well, I feel
I feel like I don't want to
be any ministry
during service because I want to be in the service
and receive. You're not working
for the vision, you're working for yourself.
Being in the background
doing the mundane, serving when
everyone else is being saturated in the
presence that is suffering
for the Lord. Working together, not
against for his plan, it's not
about us.
What do we do now? Okay, this
is where my assignment comes in
but really I think the Lord is saying, okay
who's going to take this on?
Who can I find trustworthy
at December 2026?
A challenge.
There's eight services.
We had eight services, eight
different topics.
I'm very practical. This is how my brain
works. Take one sermon
and
re-listen to it every week
and start implementing
what Pastor Brad Breedy
preached about that first Sunday
and implement it in the month of
February. Next,
go grab what our prophet
Brian Hill spoke about.
Listen to it weekly.
Take in all that information
implement what he asked you to do
what we're supposed to do. Stop
being lazy.
That's one of the practical
things. It's when the rubber meets
the road. It's exciting knowing that
you're going to take off on a fast car.
But when
you're actually, when the rubber actually
meets the road, it's pressure.
It's uncomfortable. It's hot. It's
sticky.
It's painful.
You persevere.
It's a make a choice in your heart.
That's what I believe prophet
Brian Holly said.
Make a choice in your heart.
Re-watch the sermons.
Pray for the Holy Spirit
to reveal to you.
Set a time.
Day routine.
So much more and I can't. I'm done.
Thank you Lord.
I was so nervous for today.
I thought ten minutes and I'd be done.
Praise Jesus.
But guys, this is serious.
I think this is more serious than
we actually understand right now.
Right now we're like, yeah, this is serious. This is heavy.
But I think it's even more than
that. We want to go through.
We pass this threshold. We can't
go back.
Okay. We have to go forward.
Amen.
This is serious. We have to take
what was being spoken to us and
implement it. And I can guarantee
you, 2027,
we will see
the evidences of who took that
seriously. Who did
their homework.
Hallelujah. Thank you Jesus for your
goodness. Thank you Lord.
That you
that you're
so faithful.
That you're so faithful.
That even in
our weakness, that's when you were
you were made strong.
Thank you
that you take us
deeper and you reveal to us
and that you love us and you
show us mercy and grace
when we don't deserve it.
May you
take this seed and
bring it into our hearts
and give us a revelation about it.
Let us meditate on it day and night
and receive our own personal revelation
of how deep, how serious
this is.
Holy Spirit, may you
find this sacrifice, this
repentance now. May you
find it pleasing and may it draw
your presence here. May it draw
the eyes of the Father to look
at our house today this morning
right now.
And won't you come, Holy Spirit,
we welcome you. Won't you come
and manifest yourself
because you find
rest?
You don't manifest
yourself because
there's a bunch of things happening
and it makes you happen. No, you find
rest and that's where you abide
and that's where you are comfortable
and that's when you start revealing yourself.
Find rest in us, Lord. Hallelujah.
Be glorified through the worship.
Amen.
