I'm just in awe of what the Lord is doing, and it gives kind of the fear of the Lord
feeling, even to go speak, because it's like that feeling like you don't want to
reroute things that He has in route a certain way. Amen. And so I got my Bible
marked, probably 15 different spots. Like you want me to say this? You want me to say
that? He's probably gonna tell me to say something totally different, but that's
okay. I'm gonna start out just by reminding, you know, there is prayer at 9
15 here on Sundays, and we are going through what it means to be a watchman, and
or a sentinel. And I just want to remind the congregation of that, because
that's not a special gifting for only a few people. God wants us all know how
to climb the tower, how to see the things that that we need to see. And I
want to say to you, if you feel like the last couple weeks you've been going
through something funky, you have. Because fasting brings that up, prayer brings
that up. Plus, we're addressing the spirit of witchcraft. We're addressing the
craft way of thinking. See, witchcraft is not, you know, like I said before, a
pointed hat and, you know, a ward on the end of the nose, and you're
stirring eye of newton, all this stuff. You know, it's not, it's not
that's not the main thing that we're coming against. There's so many works of
the flesh, and the craft, the word craft really means to craft you into
something. That happens over time. You know, we'll think like, all of a
sudden something came against me today. No, something's been crafting through
the generation. Something's been saying things, arranging things to craft
you into a certain spot. It does it through witchery or spells, you
know, like people will say, I don't know what got into him. Why do we say
that? Yeah, what did get in him? We don't know. You know, could be demonic. Or,
you know, we'll say things like, you know, that person just acts like
they're under a spell. Well, that's the witchery part. Even sin itself will
make you stupid. Proverb says it. That's how it says in the amplified
that if you come under sin, it makes you stupid, or you have a stupid
way of thinking, or you're in a stupor. So you're walking around almost
like you're drunk. You can't see straight. And the Lord is wanting to
bring this church, especially to a place of peace so we can have an
effect on the region. Well, what's in the region? All around us. What's in
the whole state? A craft that's been going on for so long, and it's
been doing it through witchery, works of the flesh, and satanic worship. I
sometimes, I think, we got it backwards, really. We all get all
pumped up and worried about the satanic church or something like
that, like they're the ones. When really the works of the flesh and
letting the demonic realm craft us through sin is actually more
powerful. Because if we're walking at a place of peace and
deliverance, so they're doing that. That can't come against us. But
if we're coming against that and we have not been delivered, that's
going to be trouble. That's a bad kind of warfare. I don't want to be in
that war, right? And so he is getting us to a point of being
ready and has been for so long, right? There's something about the
craft, if you think back to your own story, how some great things
happen, but you also see where sin got in to the family lines on
both sides and how somehow it ricocheted and landed on you and
your brothers and sisters. And now it's perpetuating your
children. You're just heart sick over it. It's a vamichess kind of
like, what is going on with my kids? And this is what parents
will say. I did everything right. I mean, we had them in
church. We went to Bible camp. We did, bum, bum, bum, bum.
Yes. But the craft has been working the whole time. In
deception. So what you said to them, they might only
have heard. It's because it blinds the eyes and it defends the
ears. And, you know, we'll think we got it, but then suddenly
that we don't have it. So this is bigger, you know, praying over
the region is big in the fact that we're making an
announcement. We're not saying what we're saying. Lord forbid,
I don't want to go and say something like I got something
really cool to say. I'm in warfare right now. But here's
what it says in, where am I at here? Habakkuk, your favorite
book of the Bible, right? You've been in it all the time.
Anyways, it says in chapter two, I will stand at my guard post
and station myself on the tower. You have a guard post,
you're supposed to be watching over things. Well, you
gotta know what you're watching for. If we can't even
see the craft that's been working, then you're at
the guard posts for what? You don't know who's the
enemy? What's the enemy? We can't take ownership of
anything or refute anything. I will stand at my guard
post and station myself on the tower, and I will keep
watch to see what he will say to me. So this time of
fasting, this time that we don't necessarily just
want it to be over, we need to live the fasted
Christian life. We need to be in this because he's
always going to tell us something. You know,
tradition says we fast always the first week of
January. Nice. Then the rest, the weeks to come, you
don't know what's happening. Right? I'm talking
about there's a fasted way of life, there's a fasted
way of praying. There's times that you really
push in. And then you see what he wants you
to see. I will keep watch to see what he will
say to me. Well, then we have to have the
capacity to house what he says to us. His commands
are suggestions. God never speaks with a language
of like, so maybe if some time you'd like to,
possibly, if you feel like ministering up at Red
Lake. I mean, it's really up to you. I don't
want to ask a lot. He's not like that. He's
like, this is what I want you to do. Because
when you moved his kingdom into you, you were
no longer king. That kingdom is his. And I'm the
under shepherd in my own temple. He's the
shepherd and I'm the under shepherd. Right? So
what does an under shepherd do? Only what the
shepherd says. You know, I'm just coming to
support. I'm the armor bearer. I'm the one
who says, tell me where to go. What do you
want to take that hill? We'll go take that
hill. Right? But I'm not doing anything
till I hear from him. And we have to be
in that position. We're going to station
ourselves on the tower. Why on the tower or
on the wall? Is what other scriptures say?
The watchmen or the sentinels, they're up
on the wall and they are going back and
forth on the wall. And they're watching for
what? I don't know. We better figure out
what we're watching for. Who is our
enemy? What is the craft that's been
working on your family lines? What is
that that causes such distress inside of
us? That caused us to fragment? That
causes us to be under the pressure of
this world? And we more stand when that
happens. We're more standing arguing
with ourselves and the thoughts in our
head than we are doing anything
productive against the kingdom of
darkness. And God is switching that up.
We are in the hour where witchcraft
definitely revealed itself. In 2020,
2021, you'd watch it right on the
news. Which is we're coming out of the
woodwork and everything. But that's not
the main thing he's coming after. They
were just instituting
stuff that the craft was working on us
over for years. To instill fear, anxiety,
manipulation, domination, control,
arguments and homes, all of those
kinds of things. And then we see that
and get worried some about that. And
it's like, I'm also look like, you
know, just shut your pie holes. I got
a project I'm working on right here.
And if I get this project to a
place in God where I am at peace, I'm
not worried about you. You can't craft
this. A curse cannot rest where the
blessing is. We have to be able to walk
in the blessing though and understand
that. So here he's going to tell us
something. Once we climb the tower, why
do we climb the tower? We have to get
to a higher place. Where you're
living, if you're stuck just in the
motion of the low ground, you can live
your whole life like that. Be a
Christian and go to heaven. But you're
not going to be good at warfare. You're
not going to be good at helping other
people. You're just surviving. Right? When
you climb the tower in God, when you get
on the wall, then you're climbing up
into something you're going to see. You
are going to discern, which means to
see into. A lot of times we'll see into
things and we don't want to see what
we saw. It's like, I didn't know as
bad as what it was. I didn't know
that was the thing coming against me.
So some people will climb up, see it, and
then climb down. We talked about this in
prayer. But the problem is once you see
it, you can't undo the seeing. Once you
know it, you can't not know it. So you're
held responsible for what you've seen.
And so this is where people will drop
away from prayer and just get out of
that. That's someone else's job. That's
your calling. And that's an easy,
peasy way to get out of it, right?
Communication with God is communication
with God. Right? And we go into higher
levels of that. So here we are. I will
keep watch to see what he will say to me
and what answer I will give as his
spokesman. That's what we're about to
do today. We're spokesmen and women.
When I am reproved, I'm going to give
this answer. And what answer I will
give as his spokesman when I'm
reproved? So any correction that he
needs to give us, I'm wanting that
right now. I'm wanting that before I get
in the car. I'm wanting like bring it
on. Bring it on on the way up on the
way over on the way praying here like
bring it on. I need to have that
correction in my life so that I'm
not saying something that he wouldn't
want me to say. And clarity of what
we see is a big portion of it. But
housing what we see is another big
portion. So this is why the scripture
constantly is on us about maturity. Be
perfect as my father in heaven is
perfect. That word perfect just means
mature. The word be is a word that calls
you to something. It's not an
announcement. Be good. When you tell
your kid that, you're actually saying
come over to where goodness is. Like I
want you to be in this realm. Right? And
we look at it like they're just gonna
snap into it. No, you might have to call
that a few times. And he calls that
over us. Be mature. We're imitators of
him. He's the ultimate of maturity. So
when I go try to imitate him, it really
shows me how immature I really am.
Because when I go to do what he
does, it doesn't work the same as
when he does it. And that's when you
get that aha moment. Like something
ain't right. And that will encourage
you to grow. So we're going to see
what's on the wall. We're open to
correction. Then the Lord answered me
and said, write the vision. That's that
scripture we talked about in prayer.
He's telling me to go over this again.
That we wrote down in, or we talked
about in prayer, that most people will
take that. And they don't talk about
the first part of it at all. Write
the vision. Put it down. You know,
secular companies take that same
principle. And they quote that. So that
when you write the vision, you're
really saying this is the way we're
going. And it works to a certain
degree in that. But what vision are
you seeing when you never climb the
tower? What vision are we
proclaiming? What did we hear when
we never went to higher ground? When
I'm on the lowland, I get a lot of
input from all kinds of people, you
know, instructing me from everything
how I should grieve to, you know,
all kinds of this, how you handle
sickness, disease, whatever. And I
just go, huh? Yeah, then I go climb
the tower. Because I really don't want
to hear what they have to say. Sorry. I
got to get to higher ground. You got
to get to higher ground. We cannot
take in this world's way of thinking.
Even what we talked about in prayer
this morning on peace. Peace I give
unto you, not as the world gives
peace. Here's where worldly peace
rules. It's like, here I'll give
you some money, then you'll be at
peace for a bit. Here, I'll do this,
and you know, go get high. You'll be
at peace. You'll get high for two
hours. That's something you're not
at peace. It's the world's peace. He
doesn't give us that. And this
morning we talked about that peace
bringing order. Glory to God in the
highest and peace to His people on the
earth, right? It's like order is
going to come to the earth, because
when you see peace, you will see how
dysregulated you really are. When you
see peace, when you experience peace, it
calms the soul and you can see what's
around you and like, oh man, this is
messed up. So we have to have peace. We
talked about that this morning. But he
tells us to go ahead and write the
vision and engrave it plainly on clay
tablets so that the one who reads it
will run for the vision is yet for
the appointed future time. We have a
bunch of people in this land, a bunch,
that keep talking future things or
prophesying future things and they're
not working... they haven't really left
the mainland. It's stuff that just
comes to their soul. You have to be
watchful of that, that we personally
don't do that, and that we're not
taking cues from people who are in
their soulless realm, right? Because
even your soul can come up with
some pretty intense stuff. It doesn't
mean it's God though, right? You can
make it sound really good. You can be
really influential. And guess what? What
breaks witchcraft is going higher than
where it is. But you have to go lower
in your attitude about yourself in
order to go higher. You're not going to
be able to climb up carrying all that
stuff. And so this is why I mean
everything the Bible does is mercy on
us. It's mercy. He's like, let me help
a guy out, you know? Let me help a girl
out. Let me help you get rid of these
weights. Let me help you mature. Let me
help... because then you're going to see
better, farther, and then what you see
you will house that. There's people
that are... they're stuck in an immature
state and they'll show up at a
conference. And the conference is one
of these that really it's on the
tower. And they don't understand it.
And they'll leave there thinking,
Christians are just weird. Because they've
never climbed the tower. They've never
gone higher than this low way of
thinking. Amen? They get offended by it
because it's like, you can't go there.
What are you doing up there? We don't
even have this. Right? It's either that
or we pretend we're somewhere we're
not. That's witchcraft. I was
listening to Kenneth Hagan a couple
years ago. And he was talking about... I
saw my husband when I go down to sit
in the sauna. I've been like, I'm going to
go hang out with Kenneth Hagan for a
little while. Or I've just been with
Keith Moore or whatever. And then I'll
come back up. But, I mean, Kenneth
we're talking. Anyway, and he was
sharing... sharing how he saw when
people would start out with a word of
knowledge. They would start out with
sounding good. And he could hear when
they would switch to their flesh and
then over to witchcraft. Prophecies in
the church, same thing. It would be
start out with the word of God says. The
Lord has said, and you know, sometimes
that's tradition to say that. Hope I'm
not slapping anyone in the face, but I
might be. You know, where it's like the
Lord has said, sometimes when we say
that, that's the clarifier like when
a woman tells her husband, well, God
told me to do this. Like, what's he
supposed to say? God told me to buy
this. What's he going to do? Right? You're
going to come against God? Now, that's a
way of clarifying this. We know it's not
you if you're prophesying. You don't have
to say the Lord has said. Right? Because
then that makes everybody nervous as
to if there is going to be a
correction, be hard to do that. Well,
not for us. But for the average
person, they'll just be like, well, I
can't correct that. The Lord said, well,
too late. It came out and it's not
scriptural or whatever. So what we're
going to see into the future, which is
we're about to speak some things that
are going to address the now, and it's
going to plow through future things
that aren't even here yet. That's what's
going to happen today. It's going to
bring order into the now and plow
through so that we can step into what
we pray through. Right? He always keeps
us ahead. He's a proper, prior planner.
That's our God. But when we are in the
vision, and we're looking for it to
produce future things, we have to be
able to have the capacity to house
that. And what Kenneth Hagin said is
that sometimes people are in such a
strong anointing they can't house
it. So they lose everything when
they leave because it was an
experience and then it's gone.
Because we have to be in a spot. It's
not you're earning these things from
God. Your relationship just gets that
deep. People will say that's
performance. That's, you know, legalism.
I'm sorry, but if I only saw my
husband once a year and our
relationship was supposed to be really
deep, that wouldn't work right.
Right? That's legalism. You're wanting
more of my time.
No. No, it's not. It's the deeper
your relationship goes the more you
hang out with him, the more he has
revealed to you, the more easily you
can rid yourself of certain things.
You allow conviction. You invite
repentance.
I have learned that repentance is my
best friend.
Right? Keep those avenues open. I don't
want anything in between me and my
God.
Keep it open. Move it out of the way.
And it's just an avenue. It is a
warfare weapon, repentance.
And so when that happens, and we allow
that, it grows us. And as we grow, we
increase in our capacity.
Brian Holley said something during
Open Heavens regarding the word
capacity. When I was up speaking at
Jennifer Cannon's church, we both
talked about how the Lord was
showing us the word capacity.
So that means there's something going
on with the body of Christ, and
there's something going on here where
God is saying, I want you to get in
that new building. I want you to take
the region. I want you to, but you have
to come up in your capacity.
We have to be able to house it. We have
to have stronger endurance. We have to
be the fruit of the Spirit just
flowing. That means we've been in
practice. So if things were funky the
last couple weeks, it's challenging
the craft that's been swirling
around you.
Amen?
Repentance is required.
Forgiveness is required. Forgiving
others is required. A release of that
in the name of Jesus is required.
Amen, amen. Then it's not how many
things God tells you. It's the one
thing he told you, did you do it?
See, a lot of the prophecy stuff
that's going on right now, and then
I saw this and they come out with
books of things they wrote and
everything.
But where's the fruit? I want to see
fruit.
Fruit is action. We get out there and
there's fruit. There's people getting
saved. There's people being delivered.
I want to see that. But the Jedi
thing that's going on right now,
the waving of the wizard's sword,
you know, and talking about all this
stuff with no fruit.
People are running over each other in
the prophetic, but now loving each
other with fruit.
To reach the region, we actually have
to care about all of those people.
While still ministering down south
and east and leaving out of state
and ministering and stuff, I don't
have the capacity for that.
So if you were sitting there this
morning and you thought you had the
capacity, I'm just giving you a reality
check. I've been working on this project
for a long time, God is going to have
to increase my ability to
oversee in a stronger way.
I'm being honest so you can be honest.
And with no prejudice, with just
open arms to try to minister,
noticing where the craft has been
in different areas of the region,
noticing how it's attacking and
making a mess of things,
we can't live on the lower ground to do that.
Amen.
Amen. And the growth of this church,
I believe God is bringing...
He can bring anybody here. We will
welcome them.
But we're believing for the next
generation of watchmen.
Because if you just want to come in
and we've got lights and, you know,
and I use the word experience, if the
whole thing of you leaving the
churches, we had such a great
experience.
That's off. That's off. That's off.
It'd be better if you came in and said,
man, I get convicted in that house.
I don't even know. I feel like I'm
not even saved.
All right. We're right on the money.
Right? Or I felt called of God. I don't
know what. I just totally like lost
that part of my relationship. That
first love is coming back on me.
That's what should be happening here.
So to grow over there, it is like
we're praying and praying, and then
God's just going to give us a bunch of
people. No, you grow into the
people and they grow into us.
And then we better be in the vine
to do that. Be grafted in the vine. The
only way you live is to suck the
juice from the main vine, because
you're the one grafted in. And if you
look at that story, people, for so
long, I had this when I first got
saved. I'm like, I'm so afraid God's
just going to prune me off of the
vine, because that's what it talks
about. He's going to come and prune
me. I'm probably not making it. I'm
probably not good enough. I'm
that's how we see that a lot of
times. But it describes it in the
amplified, is it's actually the
branch that's dry. It's dying
already anyway, because it ain't
sucking any juice, right? So if I
get pruned off the vine, I was
asking for it. So in case
anybody's had that fear, like maybe
he's pruning me. I'm not enough or
whatever. Get rid of that fear. Suck
the juice. Maybe what we'll call
this sermon, suck the juice. I don't
know. But that's what plants do. You
graft them in. You put something
around it. You put something, you
know, they have the sap and
different things. You're like, now
stay put. Stay put. Stay stuck on
there. And then all of a sudden, they
come into the vine and they get
what they need. And next thing you
know, they're producing. And vines
are different than a tree in this
way. Vines crawl all over the
place. That's evangelism all over
the place. And people will then get
grafted into what you're doing, but
they're really grafted into the
vine. Amen? We're going to see
that. People are going to come
through the corridors of victory.
That's been prophesied many years
ago. They're going to come
through to come here. We've got
to have a bigger building for
that to happen. We had the
privilege of maybe having six
people from Red Lake during
open heavens. That's just the
start. That's just the start. Some
of you, and I just talked to
Pastor about this. When we had,
you know, 700 to, no one really
had the count. Someone else
said close to a thousand and
four days on our property when
we did summer fest. And people
were asking me, where all these
people come from? Did you put
it in the paper? These, I,
there were very few people I
didn't recognize. They were all
coming from the region. Right? So,
if that's how many people show up,
if we, if we do this thing
correctly, we're going to be going
back and forth through the
corridors of victory a lot. There's
places opening up in the north that
I've been speaking at, and I'd love
to bring the band and different
things. I mean, it's a slow
filtration, but then they're also
going to come this way. Amen? That's
how you reach a region. It's going
to be, you know, first, I thought
it was the thing where they do, like
this is our main campus, and then
we'll speak here, and they'll have
video to all these came now. God
wants hands on. He wants hands on.
They can watch our stuff. They can
do whatever. But we need to show
up. And they're going to show up
here. Hallelujah. We're partnering
with different people. We're going
to be talking about that in the
next couple of weeks so that we
know who we're partnered with. For the
vision is yet for the appointed
future time. It hurries toward the
goal of fulfillment. It will not
fail. What's about to happen will
not fail. Even though it delays,
wait patiently for it. Because it
certainly will come. It will not
delay. It will not delay.
Now, that's big picture. That's our
calling, right? But to get to our
calling, you have to go detail to
detail to get to big picture. So
back up the train a little bit. I
know we're going out to our
calling and over to our calling.
And you know, the other people
that we're going to be talking
with is part of our calling. But
you got to back up the train to
the starting point. This is the
temple where God dwells. This is
the most important out of
everything. Because if you don't
have peace, you have no effect on
any other thing, right? To bring
peace into your heart, you need to
spend time with God. You need to die
to yourself. You need to put things
out of your life so you can focus
on the relationship. People lose
relationships because there's no
focus.
And what's weird is they'll say it's
over. You know, I always call
them big levers. You're going to
pull the big levers. And it's like
we're in a divorce. We were never
compatible. You know, there's all
these big line things you say and
then you look at the other person
and see if they're scared. Because
you're really trying to put it in
order. You're trying to be the
big voice in the house. You know,
like I'm saying it now, right? And
so that's what ends up happening
in a lot of situations. And yet
we're not ruling and reigning in
that situation and bringing peace
to it. But if I told you,
hey, could you fix your
relationships? Just take your
marriage for instance. I'll give you
a million dollars and I'll give you
six months to fix it. Somehow you'd
find a way. You get paid at the
end of the six months. Just so you
know. All of a sudden the whole
focus would be on the thing that
should have been important the
whole time. No, it's important for
the wrong reason, but I'm just
giving that as an example. You
don't wait till someone dies or
something happens where now we're
going to put the emphasis. My
mother passed away in our home and
people have been asking me because
some people grieve hard, right? I've
been taking care of her for almost
six years. Loving her with the
thought of her staying and loving
her with the thought of her going.
So did I cry? There was tears
because I'm like, oh, mommy, you're
going home. Some of it was
rejoicing tears. And some of us, I'm
going to miss you tears. And that's
about the end of that. And the
reason is because I don't grieve
like an unbeliever. There's
something about seeing into it,
having the privilege of working
through it. Cry the tears way
ahead of time. Say goodbyes
before that moment comes. Say
what you're going to say now.
Make a focus. Because once she
was passing, I didn't have like,
oh, I should have told her. Oh,
I didn't tell her. My mama was
a prayer warrior for sure. And so
sometimes my sister, my sister and
I, in the last few years, would
exchange taking care of her. So
when I'd go to Red Lake, you know,
sometimes she'd pick her up on
Friday, sometimes she'd pick her
up on Sunday morning. And but
whenever I'd go to minister and
leave, she would always say, I'd
say, bye, mama, I love you so
much. And then she would give me
a scripture or give me a phrase.
And when I go to Red Lake, she
would always say to me, now I have
prayed, go save your people. That's
how she says it to me. Go save your
people. I'm not a jibway, but close
enough, apparently.
So we had this thing. If I'm
going to miss something, it's her
intercessory prayer. But I knew
when she passed. I'm already an
intercessor, but I'm going to step
into the spot. And it's going to
expand. That's what's going to
happen. And oddly enough, I needed
what she had before we do what we
do.
Interesting in God's timing, how he
does things. Interesting in God's
timing. Hallelujah.
So I guess I'm just talking about
the watchman or what we're doing
today. That was not what I was going
to preach on. But part of if you
look back once again at the vision
of the church and look back at what's
been preached in the last two years,
it'll blow your mind. It'll blow your
mind on spiritual growth. How God,
here in this house, is we're
getting armed. We're getting
corrected. We're getting matured. We're
getting all of that kind of stuff.
Right? And then God sends us out and
we're practicing, operating at a
higher level. Then we come back in and
we get equipped. Going to gym classes,
you get equipped. We're getting
equipped. If we think it just ends
here, the buck stops here, it's like
we're missing the picture. We've got a
whole region. I ain't doing that by
myself.
Amen?
You know, so there's something to the
assignment to understand when you're
here, you're becoming a disciple, a
so that when we go out there, we're
actually carrying something and we've
grown in capacity. We have more room
for God's stuff. Amen?
Religion has limited God's stuff. You
got two hours and I better be out the
door one time a week.
You're starving to death, man. If you're
doing that, you are starving to death. I'm
talking to people online, you're
starving to death. I seem fine. I
said, you don't have the capacity
and when all hell breaks loose, you
won't have the capacity then to stand
against it. Whether it be cancer in your
own family, whether it be a death,
whether it be car accident, whatever.
When that breaks loose, you better have
the capacity that says, I have learned
how to endure. I have learned how to
be patient through this. I am carrying
peace no matter what I see. I don't
go by sight. I go by faith.
You have to grow into that. So thank
God. If you think we're mean
ministers, I've been told I'm harsh.
So I kind of wear that as a badge.
Sometimes like, I guess I'm harsh. I
don't know.
But where are you going to go to
learn discipleship when it's Mambi
Pambi?
What kind of disciple are you going to
be?
Huh? You hire a workout person to
instruct you so you can get abs,
right? And they're like, just do 20
of these.
All right. Oh, you broke out in a sweat. Oh,
you should go home now and rest. Drink
this.
I don't want to attend a church like
that.
I want to leave mad, sad, or glad, or all
of the above.
I could board at conferences when
they're just him Han.
I'm here to learn something, motivate
me, talk to me. Ah, you know, get in
my face.
I want to hear how I could change
because I want to
increase the capacity.
I can't take the capacity I have right
now and and think this would be pride
and think, you know,
this is the capacity and now I'm going
to take the region.
Really?
Part of the reason pastor and I
fasted is the knowledge of, like,
we ain't got that.
Thank you for the assignment, Lord,
but we must get ready for the
assignment.
It would be very cocky of us. Like,
we've been assigned. The Lord has
spoken to us
and we're going to go to the north,
you know, and just, like, we're him
Han about how great we are and
we have these assignments in our
church and, like, I know you actually
have to do the opposite.
The power comes at the opposite.
Amen.
So, uh, so then you're going to
address detail to detail. It gets a
big picture.
Then here I am on the temple. That's
the starting point and that goes out
to my family.
They're little churches, they're little
temples growing up.
They don't know how to run a church.
Talk about a chaos and a temple.
Little kids, they're all over the
place.
So it's us to apostle them.
Right, and out of your family should
come this great army.
That's how it's supposed to work.
But the craft sees that and doesn't
like that.
So he's working hardest on the
family. He's working hardest on you.
I think he works harder on that than he
does the region because when people
gather together and they have a
weakness, that sets it up in the
region.
You shore up that weakness, they can't
stay there.
That's why you drive through a certain
city and be, man this feels like
poverty.
Just like the people there think
poverty.
Well, if you change the people's
thinking, how can poverty stay?
The blessing will come and the
curse can't rest where the blessing
is.
So our job is to bring the good news.
But we have to live the good news in
order to bring it.
We don't have to be perfect, but we do
have to bring the good news.
So spiritual growth is so important.
And I think we're seeing the
dysregulated people, and yeah, I'm
going to say it.
You'll see it a lot on the news.
People screaming in people's faces.
They're out of control. They're
totally dysregulated.
It's witchcraft.
It's witchcraft. If you have to do
that to have authority, that's
craziness.
If you raise your kids like that,
where you come in and they didn't
clean your room, you're like,
you know, just lose everything on
them.
People got everything on to them
of how they never should have,
I never should have had kids or
whatever.
They don't care anything about
cleaning their room now.
They're just thinking, mama crazy.
And I don't want to see her crazy,
so I best do something, but they're
doing it for the wrong reason.
That's the craft.
And then even in the church,
through the 90s especially, we've
taken on different avatars
that's fragmented us.
Hollywood starts it, by the way.
Hollywood's supposed to be the
place in the United States, when
you lay the temple over, that's
the Holy of Holies.
Well, it's completely opposite of
it, right?
We're on the threshing floor.
We're in the state of repentance.
Well, it's completely opposite here,
right?
And so, when you look at that,
what happens, they say, what
happens in California, if there's
a new style, it takes 10 years to
get here.
And we'll look at the news and
stuff. We'll see people and we're
like, oh, that's just crazy what
they're wearing, what they're
doing.
Next thing you know, people are
doing it here.
It takes about 10 years for
that to happen.
So, when things are generated
on the television, it tells you
the vision of what you're
supposed to be doing, we start
adjusting our dress like that,
our talk like that.
What we have to do, and it all
is based around the worship of
idols and the worship of people
being famous.
So, what we're preaching on about
going low is completely
opposite of what's being
generated constantly coming
this way.
Tied with it is sexual sins,
tied with it is dominance, control,
witchcraft.
So, it's here and we can
complain about it, we can do
something different and that's
why going low, going to a
place of worship, where we do
this with and without the church.
That's how you know you're
growing. When you don't need
the church to have a
relationship with God.
The Bible says not to forsake
the assembling of yourselves
together and the corporate
anointings, something that
when you're in unity, the
devil can't touch that.
It's so powerful.
So, but at the same time,
we can't be bowing the need
to witchcraft.
So, let me just, just let me,
I know you're trying to
stop me, but let me.
Apparently that's, that doesn't
fit when I say that there, but
when we talk about the
triumphal entrance, let's go
there. I'm in Mark.
And I hadn't marked with a
packet of honey.
This is in my Bible.
All right, whatever.
I believe.
Yeah, it took me a bit,
but I am there.
I was going to speak more on
this this morning, but I just
want to read this starting
right at the beginning of
the chapter.
When they were nearing
Jerusalem at Bethphage
and Bethany near the Mount
of Olives, which
Olives means peace.
They were coming to a
place that represented peace.
Jesus sent two of his
disciples saying to them,
go into the village in
front of you, and
immediately as you enter
it, you will find a donkey
or a colt tied, which has
never been ridden
by anyone.
Untie it and bring it here.
First of all, that assignment
would make me a little nervous.
Like there's a caddy parked
around the corner.
Just go get that
and bring it to me.
And then if they ask a
question, this is what you
do. I mean, I'd be a
little nervous.
But if anyone asks you,
why are you doing this?
Say, the Lord needs it.
The Lord needs it.
And immediately he will
send it here.
They'll just release it.
They'll just know that you
said the Lord.
Now the word Lord there,
and when you look up the
word Lord all through,
especially the Old Testament,
it'll have, it'll mean
El Shaddai.
It'll mean, you know,
Seboith.
Or it'll mean these
different names,
but it always is translated
Lord.
That's how they do it.
Here it means the supreme
one, the highest ruler.
So when I say
about the donkey or the
Cadillac, I need this
car because the highest
ruler wants it.
All right.
So then they release it
and let it go.
Nowadays, I don't know
if I'd believe that.
If somebody told me that,
I'd be like, oh no.
I want to meet this ruler
first.
If anyone asks you,
why are you doing this?
Say, the Lord needs it.
Immediately he will
send it here.
So they went away
to the village and found
a colt tied outside
a gate in the street
and they untied it.
Some of the people
were standing there to
said to them,
what are you doing
untying the colt?
They replied to them
just as Jesus had
directed and they
allowed them to go.
So here's history on this.
If you had a colt
that had never been ridden
an animal that had
never been ridden,
that's the only one
that's fit for a king.
And in fact,
if you said the highest
ruler needs this
and I'm bringing it over
to him
because he's the only one
fit to ride it.
It's never been ridden
which automatically makes
it holy.
Which then I'm thinking
on the farm,
if we just got on a random horse
and they've been ridden
you know,
a donkey or whatever.
I don't know how that's
going to go down.
Maybe they trained it.
Maybe just the power
of his anointing
kind of set that thing
in order that he didn't
get bucked off.
I'm just saying.
But it never been ridden
and that's what that means.
It's the untying
of something holy.
Hasn't been touched
by sin.
Hasn't been touched
by any thing.
There's an unt...
I believe in the spirit
there's an untying
going to happen today
of something very holy.
That's been prepared.
Now there might be others
that have prayed through
the region or whatever.
For us,
we're bringing something
for our church
that hasn't been done
this way.
And God's...
God's going to come
riding in.
That's what he's going to do.
They replied to them
just as Jesus had directed
and they allowed them to go.
They brought the coal to Jesus
and put their coats on
and he sat on it.
And many of the people
spread their coats on the road
as an act of tribute
or homage.
Or homage is
how some people say it.
When you take your coat off,
it represents
like a biker takes his coat off.
You kind of know that's a biker.
Right?
They got their signs
or whatever on their...
on their...
It represents who...
who you are
or what anointing
you walk in.
That's how it was.
Your tunic meant,
you know,
like the coat of many colors
was a big stinking deal
because
if you were walking
around that colorful,
that meant something.
That meant rulership.
That meant anointing
of a certain kind.
That's why it made his brothers mad.
It wasn't just
they were jealous of dad.
And they thought
the coat was cool.
It's like, oh,
he's walking in something higher
than what we're walking in
and I don't like it.
Right?
So...
So that's that humbling part.
Here comes...
They see this
coat that's never been written
and they lay their coats
across it
so he can sit on,
which is a type of like
laying themselves down.
So the coat that's never been written,
the holy thing,
is being unleashed
and he can walk on in.
And so they did this
on the ground too.
Many of the people
took their coats off
and put them there
and then tribute
and homage.
Amage is the highest level of respect.
He tried to figure out a way.
You can see him coming in.
You know,
something's up here.
This looks...
This is Jesus.
And he's the king.
That's why he has a right
to ride this coat.
And I am gonna figure out a way.
How do I go low?
You're standing in the street.
How do I...
I got...
Okay, I'll just take my coat off.
Somebody started it,
but it was the type
of like laying yourself down.
Which goes back to the sermons.
I'm going low.
Right, so their immediate thing
was to go low
and he came in.
They brought the coat to Jesus,
put their coats on it,
and he sat on it.
And homage was paid respect,
the highest level of respect
before a new king
and others scattered a layer
of leafy branches
which they had cut from the fields
honoring him as Messiah.
The Messiah is just the king.
That's what that word there means.
Honoring him as the king.
Like to the degree of their knowledge
they were thinking,
that's the guy.
Right?
Before that,
if you go through Mark,
it starts out with Jesus arriving.
Right?
And then you go through
some more chapters
and it'll be healing,
deliverance, healing, deliverance.
It does this for a bit.
And then when you're watching the movie,
going through the book,
you realize the changes in it
are just like spiritual growth.
Right?
We're introduced to God
and then we see his miraculous.
We see his miraculous.
We see the deliverance.
And then suddenly,
people come against him.
Right?
People are starting to get mad.
Like you ain't showing up here,
whatever, and he senses that.
And then what does he switch to?
Speaking in parables.
Then the next few chapters
are one parable after the next.
Interesting, right?
If you watch the whole movie
and map it out,
you're like,
that is really interesting.
Parables are spoken
in a way so that you can find him.
You seek him till you find him
because you don't just get it.
And it says here in the amplified,
when parables were coming forth,
he took those who were closest to him
and fully disclosed what they meant.
The rest of the people are like, huh?
He's disclosing some things to us today
because we've been willing
and we're being obedient.
We're going to see some things today
and hear some things
and receive some things
that we couldn't see before.
But because we sought him,
it looks like a parable.
Your life might look like a parable right now.
Get close to him
and he'll bring you in
and disclose what he means.
Don't just sit and say,
why don't you and how come I don't know?
And you're not going to get any answers.
Come close to God
and he'll draw near to you
and suddenly you'll see what you needed to see.
So there's many other things in this chapter,
but I'm going to end here pretty soon.
But I want to say that then
he went back into doing some miracles,
a couple parables, miracles,
and then he moves on to the triumphal entry.
So he knows the ones that are closest to him
that really had this revealed.
They know.
Right?
They know this is where this thing is headed.
And then that gave him permission
then in the next part of chapter 11.
I mean they're praising him.
They're like, save us.
God is here.
This is wonderful.
He's coming from the line of David.
They recognize all that.
But then he goes to the temple
and he comes out of that
and curses the fig tree.
The fig tree that looks like it's producing,
but isn't.
And so that's the hand of the Lord dividing things out.
He does that in our life.
He'll divide things out of you.
If you're pretending to produce,
he'll be like, let me show you.
And next thing you'll know,
hey, this isn't working right.
Then he first goes in and drives out
the money changers.
Those who are selling things for sacrifice
that are halfway crippled
and at a discounted rate.
But wait, there's more.
We'll throw in a free dove.
This is what was happening.
And it slices, it dices.
It's that type of thing that was going on.
And what gave him the right then at this point?
If you follow the whole story,
now he's stepping into
where he's supposed to be going.
He's flipping tables.
Which then repeats and takes off some people.
He does some more miracles
and it leads up to his death.
So spiritual growth,
if you map that in your own life,
you can stay just like
glory to God in the highest.
We celebrate Christmas and resurrection.
Yay.
We stay at the beginning of the story.
But as we get going,
we're going to experience his miracles.
He's going to speak to us in parables.
And there's things that have been already brought to you
that you don't understand right now.
Prophecies that have been spoken over to you,
that you're like, I still don't get it.
Get close to God.
And he'll pull you in
and give you full disclosure.
Let's believe for that.
So none of these things are just wasted prophecies.
It's like, no, I need to see.
I need to see what, what is that?
Show me what that is.
He's going to do it.
Let's stand him.
He's going to do it.
Oh, Jesus.
You're so good.
I love how we came in unity right after prayer
and just all right in prayer and just went there.
That felt so good.
I don't like revenin engine, you know.
Women, did you know when it's really cold outside,
you shouldn't rev your engine?
So I thought I'd throw that in there
because I keep coming out in the middle of January
and I hear the woman, you know,
like you want to blow an engine, you just do that.
I don't like revving engines
to get people like to get going in worship.
We already should be with God
and bring that relationship in here.
And then find the corporate anointing
just increasing everything.
I want to speak something over the congregation,
those watching online, and those who will watch in the future.
If it's been funky, there's something dysregulated.
Don't do the condemnation thing
where you're letting him damn your nation.
That's what condemnation is.
It's a con man damming your nation.
Don't do that.
But look with clarity, like, I gotta see what's going on here.
If I need to own something, own something.
But I want to see what's happening.
If things are happening,
things are funky.
Something's not regulated, right?
And we need to get in his peace
and get in that worship
and begin to pray in the spirit like we were doing in prayer
and it will bring the regulation
where everything will just start lining up.
Fear will dysregulate you more.
I don't know if I should take another one of my meds.
I don't know if I should go over here.
I gotta call the doctor. I just can't even sleep.
It's dysregulating you more.
We have to learn how to reign it in.
That's not denying what's going on.
It's dealing with what's going on.
So Father, we just come before you in the name of Jesus.
And the craft that has swirled around.
That has lied.
That has been generational.
That is speaking trash even right now.
Lord God, we bind up its works.
We do not receive it.
We resist it.
We renounce it.
And we call it to nothing.
The Lord is bringing things into order.
Come into order, soul.
Come into order, body.
Come into order, ways of thinking.
Come into order.
And that order has no place for the demonic realm.
Get out!
We are under the order of the Lord Jesus Christ.
We are well decorated ambassadors.
That's who we are.
We didn't just for a moment.
We might have forgot who we were.
But we are reigning it into who we are.
Right here, right now.
Now, here is a warning.
Whenever God moves, everything moves.
And when he moves,
he is bringing his peace.
He is not coming in like,
I am going to just knock something around.
He is coming in with his peace.
And that starts to put pressure
on things that are not at peace.
Because that is the self-regulator, right?
He is going to bring that in and do that.
Well, if you start arguing over stupid stuff,
you already know.
Who left their socks here?
Like, who cares?
Pick them up.
Like, what? This is not world peace.
Let's just solve it and move on.
It's a trick.
It's a trick to keep the craft going.
That's what it is.
If you have unanswered questions,
seek until you find the answer to those things.
But do it in peace.
Don't do it with gossip.
Don't do it disgruntled.
Because where there is strife,
there dwelleth every evil and wicked thing.
God rid us of strife
within our hearts.
Rid us of the avatars
that we take on in order
to press down things
that we don't want to have to deal with.
That's immaturity.
Rid us of that, Lord God.
We are asking for a wave of your spirit
to just fall fresh on us,
let the wind blow through our souls
like it did in Acts chapter 2.
Lord God, you diffuse them
throughout their souls with the Holy Spirit
we ask for that right now.
It's not us trying to be better.
It's allowing you to be who you are in us.
We thank you for this, Lord.
In Jesus' name.
