WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:04.420 He's wanting to accomplish something here this morning, a little different. 00:06.440 --> 00:12.620 And I was sitting in the office and told my husband how, you know, 00:13.340 --> 00:18.500 I was at a rest regarding prayer, like, it doesn't just feel like it's going to be... 00:18.500 --> 00:23.560 I don't know, it's the service or something has got a little bit more umph on it. 00:23.820 --> 00:24.820 Let's put it that way. 00:25.440 --> 00:31.960 And then I walked in and be real careful when you walk into, even before prayer starts, 00:32.320 --> 00:38.720 when the band is playing, they're not practicing music as much as they're trying to find a flow. 00:39.600 --> 00:44.960 Right? Because they may pick songs or whatever and when they're in here, they will find that flow. 00:45.380 --> 00:49.520 And it, you know, it may take them down a whole different avenue than what they thought. 00:49.600 --> 00:51.400 And we have to be careful not to interrupt that. 00:51.400 --> 00:54.980 But you could feel the anointing is already here. 00:56.260 --> 01:00.020 So we don't want to just kind of move on and act like nothing's up. 01:01.620 --> 01:07.080 So he is sustaining us, he is remaining in us and we remain in him. 01:08.060 --> 01:11.940 And this is what he said. He said, go to Genesis because I got my whole thing. 01:12.040 --> 01:15.360 I'm going to preach on, but he says go to Genesis. So I did. 01:15.360 --> 01:23.220 First chapter, this is how it says it in Genesis 1 verse 4, and it says it like this in the Amplified. 01:23.840 --> 01:25.740 So he's in the middle of creating, right? 01:25.920 --> 01:34.740 And he created by having that image in his head and then spoke it out his mouth just the same way that we do. 01:35.140 --> 01:40.700 Right? That's why we have to be watchful of what images we take in. 01:42.000 --> 01:44.320 What's an idol but an image, right? 01:45.360 --> 01:50.600 And so we get pictures and words and pictures that connect in our mind. 01:50.800 --> 01:56.560 But yet when we, because we're created like him, then when we speak these things, we speak them by faith and they come to pass. 01:56.700 --> 01:57.860 This is how it says in the Amplified. 01:58.320 --> 02:01.980 God saw that the light was good. So he just spoke, let there be light. 02:02.240 --> 02:07.280 Or actually in the original text, old, old school, it says light be. 02:09.040 --> 02:16.560 He wasn't, the let part kind of suggests like let it happen kind of thing, but it was light be. 02:17.380 --> 02:23.860 And God saw that the light was good, pleasing and useful, and he affirmed and sustained it. 02:24.280 --> 02:27.520 And God separated the light, distinguishing it from the darkness. 02:28.220 --> 02:31.140 So I said, okay, so what's up with that? 02:31.140 --> 02:49.380 And he said this morning throughout the service time, he is going to affirm and sustain some things that we have stood on, that we spoke into, that he told us to say something. 02:50.020 --> 02:54.760 And you know, it would be like we said light be, right? 02:55.600 --> 03:00.080 And even if you've been in a battle and you feel like you lost part of the war or whatever, 03:00.080 --> 03:02.700 there's still remnants that have to be. 03:03.540 --> 03:07.200 You pick up and you move on from that spot. 03:07.360 --> 03:10.860 There's still remnants that he's going to affirm and sustain. 03:11.080 --> 03:15.840 So if you look at the word affirm, you know, like the word affirmation means to firm up. 03:16.520 --> 03:20.180 Like if I give you an affirmation and it's smoothie, I'm just like, oh, you like nice and that. 03:20.260 --> 03:21.720 I might not even mean it, right? 03:22.400 --> 03:29.040 But an affirmation that is something solid that I give you firms up where you're at. 03:29.940 --> 03:37.360 And he wants to take us and affirm us in the things that are principles of his. 03:38.460 --> 03:41.340 They are the things he's already told us to do. 03:41.820 --> 03:43.900 They are the things that have already been spoken. 03:44.600 --> 03:47.180 And you know, I like to use the phrase hold the line. 03:48.260 --> 03:50.500 I have to be affirmed to be able to hold the line. 03:50.500 --> 03:55.660 I have to be affirmed by my God so that I can firm up in the thing to hold the line 03:55.660 --> 03:58.100 on the thing we've been believing for, right? 03:58.500 --> 04:03.500 And so, and then sustain means you have something in motion, 04:03.500 --> 04:09.820 but you're taking anything that's either left or anything that's moving you into another season. 04:09.860 --> 04:15.520 And you're literally saying, we're going to make sure this thing stays put, right? 04:15.520 --> 04:21.740 And stays intact so he affirms it and he sustains it for the work. 04:22.540 --> 04:27.500 So I will say that, you know, being present when my mother passed away 04:27.500 --> 04:34.940 and, you know, that happened in our house and we were able to be right alongside of her 04:35.520 --> 04:39.320 and she affirmed things that she had said in motion. 04:39.860 --> 04:42.840 There were certain things that it was like, this is how it will be. 04:43.340 --> 04:47.380 And it didn't matter if she was leaving, she was leaving that with us. 04:48.080 --> 04:53.620 And then the sustaining part is not only do you have that firm thing you're holding on to, 04:53.800 --> 04:56.800 it's like, and God will take care of making sure that happens. 04:56.980 --> 05:00.120 He will sustain it. It'll be there for the long haul. 05:02.480 --> 05:04.640 So I might have shared a little bit of this, 05:04.760 --> 05:09.600 but one of the things that she had been believing for is my dad's salvation. 05:11.060 --> 05:14.380 And it was really bugging her that she was about to go home 05:14.380 --> 05:16.300 and she didn't get to see that happen. 05:18.460 --> 05:23.460 And so I was able to say to her mom, it's okay, I knew that in my spirit. 05:23.580 --> 05:27.520 I said, don't let this bother you, just fly to Jesus. It's okay, you can go now. 05:28.580 --> 05:32.300 And because she was holding on and she squished my hand. 05:32.420 --> 05:35.620 She wasn't able to talk, but she squished my hand when I said, 05:35.620 --> 05:39.780 is this bothering you? And it was like the hardest squish for that moment, right? 05:40.300 --> 05:43.480 And I said, it's okay, we got it. We got it. 05:44.180 --> 05:46.900 And then I realized what I said. It was like, oh boy. 05:48.260 --> 05:49.660 Oh boy, you know. 05:50.840 --> 05:56.120 And so in that, her prayer, that had been for years 05:56.120 --> 06:00.200 when it came to my father and people in our family 06:00.200 --> 06:03.880 and, you know, life change and attitude changes. 06:03.880 --> 06:06.520 And those of you who were at the funeral, I read. 06:06.920 --> 06:10.340 I found one of her prayers that was written out and it starts out. 06:10.520 --> 06:14.620 I would, my desire is that my family would, right? 06:14.840 --> 06:18.340 And it went down and dealt with anger and all kinds of stuff. 06:18.980 --> 06:23.740 Like she, she was affirming. She got something from God and it's firm. 06:24.000 --> 06:26.600 And now we're going to see this thing through 06:26.600 --> 06:30.000 and it's going to take his sustaining power to get that to happen. 06:31.420 --> 06:36.740 Right? So having hang time in God, that's what I call it, 06:37.020 --> 06:40.740 is where you're able to walk the whole process through. 06:41.880 --> 06:44.840 And this life is walking the whole process through. 06:45.260 --> 06:49.020 So whatever we got going on in our life, the church, the vision, 06:49.520 --> 06:52.940 he wants to reaffirm and sustain. 06:53.780 --> 06:58.240 And we pull on him for the sustenance or the sustaining power 06:58.240 --> 07:01.180 that literally girds us up. 07:02.620 --> 07:03.800 He's sustaining us. 07:05.300 --> 07:05.580 Right? 07:06.400 --> 07:08.200 And it comes through that affirmation. 07:09.100 --> 07:10.660 He's created all things. 07:11.260 --> 07:14.120 He is, he's in that spot where he's done that. 07:14.240 --> 07:18.820 Okay, so going back to my dad as soon as my mom passed, 07:18.920 --> 07:23.020 I realized the gravity of like, oh my goodness. 07:23.500 --> 07:26.920 Because we've also been praying for him for so long. 07:26.920 --> 07:31.860 And he knows who God is, he knows all that. 07:32.720 --> 07:35.920 But you can know all that and not know him. 07:36.820 --> 07:38.980 And that's kind of what the situation was at. 07:39.100 --> 07:42.700 One of our family members had a dream about him being lost, 07:42.840 --> 07:43.620 so that was there. 07:43.740 --> 07:49.700 Bruce Vanada had a word over my mom regarding the things she was praying for. 07:50.000 --> 07:54.060 He firmed up another aspect of it just by prophesying over her. 07:54.060 --> 07:57.920 He didn't know she was praying for this for years and he firmed that up. 07:58.400 --> 08:00.160 And that gave her the sustaining power. 08:01.000 --> 08:04.840 But now you could tell she felt like, ah, I'm exiting too early here. 08:05.380 --> 08:06.220 I haven't seen this. 08:06.600 --> 08:08.760 This is the one thing she wanted to see. 08:09.920 --> 08:11.600 So we did a funeral here. 08:11.740 --> 08:16.680 Then we took her ashes back to Wisconsin and did a funeral there with family members. 08:17.480 --> 08:23.180 And we went right after the funeral to my father's house. 08:24.040 --> 08:26.620 And, you know, so I say this like this. 08:27.180 --> 08:30.340 You could drop me off in a foreign land. 08:30.840 --> 08:33.000 You can put me down in Minneapolis. 08:33.500 --> 08:34.980 I don't have fear of those things. 08:34.980 --> 08:38.420 I mean, you could surround me with people and I'd be witnessing and everything. 08:38.800 --> 08:43.400 But when you face your own flesh and blood and there's been some stuff. 08:44.360 --> 08:47.660 I mean, my legs like, oh Lord Jesus, you know. 08:48.200 --> 08:52.320 And yet my hubby went with me and we called. 08:52.320 --> 08:53.100 There was no answer. 08:53.220 --> 08:55.360 And there was a part of me who was like, oh, they're not answering. 08:55.580 --> 08:56.260 So we're out, you know. 08:56.640 --> 08:58.400 Or they didn't answer the door, so we're out. 08:58.480 --> 09:01.800 But yet I knew this has to be fulfilled. 09:02.200 --> 09:09.560 So it took him sustaining my insides to everything that we had declared that was firm. 09:10.300 --> 09:12.760 I was holding on to those affirmations. 09:13.500 --> 09:17.860 And then part of what fueled the sustaining was those affirmations. 09:18.820 --> 09:21.640 So creative power had to do something different. 09:21.640 --> 09:24.040 So we were let in and we chit-chatted. 09:24.220 --> 09:26.280 You know how you do, we haven't seen each other for a long time. 09:26.420 --> 09:27.820 For about an hour we chit-chatted. 09:28.080 --> 09:31.700 And a little raccoon in their backyard that came up and they were feeding it. 09:32.500 --> 09:34.760 So it was like, oh, this is really nice. 09:35.580 --> 09:39.040 And the whole time I'm like, the evangelist's going, how do I get in? 09:40.080 --> 09:41.520 Do I have to kick down a door? 09:41.720 --> 09:43.840 Because I'm not one that just waits for the door. 09:44.340 --> 09:45.800 We're just waiting for a window. 09:46.440 --> 09:49.340 Okay, the window's there and nothing's opening. 09:49.540 --> 09:52.700 We need to pop the window open. That's what we got to do. 09:53.260 --> 09:55.720 And so I knew that these things are on a timer. 09:55.900 --> 09:57.500 And he shared where he was at physically. 09:58.260 --> 10:03.600 And that opened the door to me saying, Dad, where are you going to go when you die? 10:04.800 --> 10:07.440 And he said, well, you can't know that. 10:08.800 --> 10:10.440 And I went like this, I do. 10:11.420 --> 10:13.000 And then Vern did the same thing. 10:13.000 --> 10:19.900 And we were able to lead in that way for the first time in all of my life. 10:19.960 --> 10:22.040 He sat there quiet and listened. 10:23.280 --> 10:27.840 And I'm saying this because we've been believing for certain things 10:27.840 --> 10:31.840 or there were certain things my mother was believing for and she went home. 10:32.320 --> 10:35.720 So you don't just go, oh, well, that didn't happen. 10:36.240 --> 10:39.060 It's like, no, there's something that was firmed up 10:39.060 --> 10:41.320 that other people are now going to carry 10:41.320 --> 10:45.440 that are going to cause a sustaining in this thing. 10:45.540 --> 10:48.400 And we're actually going to see revival. 10:48.800 --> 10:50.240 That's what happens in situations. 10:51.840 --> 10:53.720 And so, but you got to have hang time. 10:53.880 --> 10:55.980 You got to be able to stay in faith, 10:56.100 --> 10:58.540 which means we go back and have them firm us up again. 10:59.620 --> 11:03.160 You always revisit what he's already told us, right? 11:03.780 --> 11:06.480 So that's where the vision booklet for the church is. 11:06.480 --> 11:09.400 That's where you write all over in your Bible, 11:09.520 --> 11:11.340 which they told us not to do when I was a kid. 11:11.580 --> 11:12.940 You're wrecking the Word of God. 11:13.300 --> 11:16.160 But if you look at my Bible, it's like almost a mess. 11:17.060 --> 11:18.340 And then I'm like, oh, that's right. 11:18.460 --> 11:19.540 That happened on that date. 11:19.680 --> 11:21.380 And this is what he told me about this or whatever. 11:21.640 --> 11:24.360 And you correlate everything in there 11:24.360 --> 11:26.680 because those are your affirmations. 11:29.060 --> 11:31.980 And then we have his great precious promises. 11:32.320 --> 11:33.980 And he's not a man that he can lie. 11:36.200 --> 11:36.640 Amen. 11:37.500 --> 11:40.040 And so we take his promises and they firm us up. 11:40.100 --> 11:43.860 We take the words he said to us and they firm us up. 11:44.120 --> 11:45.500 And then you run the race. 11:46.080 --> 11:49.800 You figure out, okay, this is where this was at. 11:50.020 --> 11:52.260 Now, we got to pick up and go back at it again. 11:53.120 --> 11:56.500 And so I look at change in my family now. 11:56.800 --> 11:58.700 It's like a season just changed. 11:59.280 --> 12:01.500 My mother was holding on the line on something. 12:01.500 --> 12:03.740 And when the season changed, 12:04.160 --> 12:07.200 what she was holding the line on just spread to all of us. 12:09.600 --> 12:10.560 It just spread. 12:12.360 --> 12:12.700 Whoo! 12:13.780 --> 12:16.820 I think that's why when martyrdom happens, 12:17.000 --> 12:19.620 when somebody's a true martyr, revival happens. 12:20.180 --> 12:23.140 Because they're carrying this and they're carrying this and they're carrying this. 12:23.380 --> 12:26.720 And all of a sudden they're gone and it just explodes on a whole bunch of people. 12:27.440 --> 12:30.640 And really what happens with those people is it gets affirmed to them 12:30.640 --> 12:33.300 and suddenly they said, well I need your sustaining power 12:33.300 --> 12:35.500 and this creative thing comes on them 12:35.500 --> 12:37.920 and all of a sudden they're all in it to win it. 12:38.700 --> 12:40.060 It isn't just the one person. 12:40.620 --> 12:43.240 So I feel like God wants us to look at that 12:43.240 --> 12:47.680 because we are harvesting where other people have tread. 12:50.800 --> 12:54.500 When we go up to Red Lake, the prayers that have happened in that area, 12:54.840 --> 12:57.420 when we're here, when we're in Cambridge, 12:58.180 --> 13:02.560 whatever we're doing, we're walking where the prayers have spread, 13:02.660 --> 13:05.060 where someone else laid their life down 13:05.800 --> 13:07.500 because there was an affirmation. 13:09.960 --> 13:11.600 See, perspective is everything. 13:11.760 --> 13:12.980 We have to look and go, ooh. 13:13.720 --> 13:16.620 So part, I don't want to be separate from my mom, 13:16.780 --> 13:21.440 but boy, she'd slap me up if I ever tried to bring her back here, right? 13:22.180 --> 13:23.700 She wants to be where she's at. 13:23.700 --> 13:29.400 And at the same time, if I have to look at what we're about to carry out, 13:30.180 --> 13:33.700 just on her behalf, just on the one person who is in faith, 13:34.700 --> 13:35.920 it's going to get explosive. 13:39.400 --> 13:42.940 She would pray and almost every time I would leave, 13:43.420 --> 13:44.560 it's going to make me tear up, 13:45.480 --> 13:46.660 when I would leave to go to Red Lake, 13:47.240 --> 13:49.360 she'd say, go, save your people. 13:50.980 --> 13:53.600 I'm not a jibway, but she would tell me that every time. 13:53.880 --> 13:55.060 Just go, save your people. 13:55.460 --> 13:57.160 And I'd say, Mom, I receive that. 13:59.060 --> 14:00.460 Now, okay, so I'm going to go, 14:00.660 --> 14:02.240 well, I'm missing that, she's gone or whatever. 14:02.380 --> 14:04.560 No, actually, I'm walking in that, 14:04.880 --> 14:07.320 and it's making it more firm in me, 14:07.360 --> 14:10.500 and it's sustaining me because she called the blessing over me. 14:10.800 --> 14:12.260 That's what I'm walking in. 14:14.700 --> 14:16.560 So Pastor and I go up there today, 14:16.960 --> 14:18.240 I'm taking the blessing with me. 14:19.000 --> 14:22.500 And there was a command by someone in authority 14:22.500 --> 14:25.580 who was a watchman who spoke fat over me, 14:25.720 --> 14:27.300 and so now I just step right in, 14:27.680 --> 14:28.320 step right in. 14:28.340 --> 14:31.660 So I have a confidence at a higher level, 14:31.660 --> 14:34.260 just because of the change. 14:36.120 --> 14:38.420 So I look at TBO and I think, 14:38.780 --> 14:40.000 you know, there were some pastors 14:40.820 --> 14:42.880 that, I mean, there was revival there 14:42.880 --> 14:44.040 years and years ago, 14:44.220 --> 14:46.400 and I've heard stories about it, 14:46.400 --> 14:50.580 and the prayer times that were had were intense, 14:51.660 --> 14:53.500 and the sacrificial giving, 14:53.720 --> 14:55.280 and the sacrificial prayers, 14:55.500 --> 14:57.340 and the part of being a watchman 14:57.340 --> 15:01.720 is knowing how to sacrifice, right? 15:02.140 --> 15:03.260 And it's really not, 15:03.540 --> 15:04.960 I'm gonna figure out something, I'll sacrifice. 15:05.180 --> 15:07.720 No, it's when God requires something of us, 15:07.760 --> 15:08.440 we say yes. 15:09.620 --> 15:10.600 That's what it is. 15:11.220 --> 15:13.180 When I'm truly, I can build the altar, 15:13.400 --> 15:14.980 I can get there and I can pray, 15:14.980 --> 15:16.500 but what's the sacrifice? 15:16.820 --> 15:18.420 He'll require that of us. 15:19.060 --> 15:21.080 He'll tell us exactly what that is, 15:21.140 --> 15:23.140 and our job is to let it go. 15:24.820 --> 15:25.060 Amen. 15:26.200 --> 15:28.460 So it's interesting to me, 15:29.380 --> 15:31.580 like I said, it was gonna talk about other things, 15:31.600 --> 15:32.740 but this is what he said. 15:33.200 --> 15:35.800 There's something gonna happen through the service, 15:36.100 --> 15:38.460 through the prayer time here, 15:38.580 --> 15:39.800 just in the heavenlies, 15:40.080 --> 15:43.240 where he's going to reaffirm some things 15:43.240 --> 15:45.740 or affirm for the first time some things, 15:45.960 --> 15:48.800 and then put sustaining power to it. 15:49.220 --> 15:51.900 And he does that with his creative voice. 15:52.580 --> 15:55.500 He does that when we see into his realm. 15:56.020 --> 15:56.920 It firms it up. 15:58.640 --> 15:59.400 It firms it up. 16:00.900 --> 16:01.680 Oh, hallelujah. 16:02.660 --> 16:03.300 Hallelujah. 16:04.440 --> 16:05.740 Oh, thank you. 16:06.080 --> 16:08.300 Thank you. Thank you, Lord God. 16:09.520 --> 16:11.260 You are our affirmation. 16:11.260 --> 16:14.280 You are our sustaining power. 16:15.880 --> 16:16.920 Thank you, God. 16:18.260 --> 16:18.580 Hmm. 16:19.520 --> 16:22.320 I'm just watching to see where he's gonna go with this. 16:30.940 --> 16:34.320 The watchman has to understand the fear of the Lord. 16:36.920 --> 16:38.240 Anybody can pray. 16:39.860 --> 16:41.820 You know, an unsafe person will pray. 16:42.360 --> 16:43.860 They'll even pop off the Lord's prayer, 16:43.940 --> 16:44.800 not even know what it means, 16:44.860 --> 16:46.720 but they were taught to do that, right? 16:47.560 --> 16:49.340 And now I lay me down to sleep. 16:49.560 --> 16:52.220 Pray the Lord, my soul's getting lots of people do that one. 16:52.660 --> 16:55.620 You know, so there's something to that. 16:55.740 --> 16:58.560 But the person who's a watchman has a fear of the Lord. 16:59.840 --> 17:03.100 And it says in Proverbs chapter 9 verse 10, 17:03.180 --> 17:06.720 the reverent, so it's not just anything. 17:07.600 --> 17:09.680 It's like a reverential fear of the Lord. 17:10.220 --> 17:13.920 That is worshiping him and regarding him as truly awesome 17:13.920 --> 17:16.080 as how they amplified says it, 17:16.360 --> 17:20.740 is the beginning and the preeminent part of wisdom, 17:21.020 --> 17:23.880 or another version says the choice part. 17:24.160 --> 17:26.580 It's starting point and its essence. 17:27.480 --> 17:31.300 So to be in a spot where we're going to have wisdom fall, 17:31.860 --> 17:36.340 we need to be in a spot where we're doing what he's saying, 17:36.400 --> 17:37.520 not going through the motions, 17:37.620 --> 17:41.420 but we're literally saying, I want to worship you. 17:41.420 --> 17:45.360 I'm going to come into a spot where it's a starting point 17:45.360 --> 17:48.120 that wherever we left off on something, 17:48.200 --> 17:50.220 now you're going to give us a fresh start 17:50.220 --> 17:52.720 and it's going to move us forward 17:52.720 --> 17:54.500 and you're going to sustain it. 17:55.420 --> 17:57.280 And we have the fear of the Lord about it. 17:57.960 --> 17:59.600 It's an honor and respect like whoa. 18:00.220 --> 18:04.480 So part of what sustained me in facing my father, 18:05.300 --> 18:07.120 you know, because you got rejection 18:07.120 --> 18:08.400 and everything else that can happen. 18:08.480 --> 18:09.340 You're just like right there, 18:09.340 --> 18:10.600 but yet we prayed with him. 18:11.580 --> 18:13.800 We prayed with him before we left and it was awesome. 18:15.340 --> 18:18.420 Anyways, part of that was the fact 18:18.420 --> 18:21.700 that built inside of me I had made a promise to my mother 18:21.700 --> 18:23.660 who had made a promise to God. 18:27.190 --> 18:31.030 Fulfillment of promises are huge when it comes to God's kingdom. 18:35.220 --> 18:36.780 So that's why we don't make vows. 18:37.320 --> 18:38.880 The Bible tells us not to make vows. 18:39.040 --> 18:41.140 Oh yeah, I'll do that, or I vow to you, 18:41.180 --> 18:42.220 I'll do this, or whatever. 18:42.880 --> 18:43.940 No, don't do that. 18:44.820 --> 18:46.720 But when you're operating in a promise, 18:46.920 --> 18:48.960 and a promise sounds like this, yes. 18:51.120 --> 18:51.600 Right? 18:52.860 --> 18:54.720 You know, our fleshly promise is oh yeah, 18:54.880 --> 18:56.720 I'll be there and you don't have to worry about it 18:56.720 --> 18:58.300 and we'll add all kinds of stuff to it. 18:58.540 --> 19:01.580 And God looks for us to just say yes. 19:02.700 --> 19:04.600 And once we say yes, 19:05.600 --> 19:07.620 we've entered that realm 19:07.620 --> 19:10.100 that like I'm affirming from my side, 19:10.100 --> 19:11.840 you affirm from your side, 19:11.920 --> 19:12.900 this is what's going to happen 19:12.900 --> 19:14.660 and out of the fear of the Lord, 19:15.020 --> 19:17.980 come heller high water, this will come to pass. 19:19.380 --> 19:21.340 And so people will say things like, 19:21.680 --> 19:22.600 am I dying breath? 19:23.460 --> 19:24.700 This will come to pass. 19:24.880 --> 19:27.240 You know, it's like, it doesn't matter how long it takes 19:27.240 --> 19:29.560 because it's so welded into them 19:29.560 --> 19:31.040 up for the fear of the Lord. 19:32.400 --> 19:35.820 There's a respect because he reveals something to us, 19:36.180 --> 19:37.420 the reverent fear of the Lord, 19:37.420 --> 19:40.240 that is worshiping him and guarding him as truly awesome 19:40.240 --> 19:41.900 or being in that presence. 19:42.140 --> 19:44.760 Is that beginning part, the preeminent part, 19:45.000 --> 19:47.740 the most important part of the fear of wisdom? 19:47.900 --> 19:49.400 It's the choice part. 19:51.660 --> 19:53.520 Wisdom wants to fall here today. 19:57.990 --> 19:59.570 I don't know how he's going to do it. 19:59.690 --> 20:01.250 He's saying all this to me right now. 20:01.450 --> 20:03.330 There's no plan on this or whatever. 20:03.910 --> 20:06.770 But when I walked in and Jesse was still standing up here, 20:06.930 --> 20:08.450 it was like, what up? 20:09.550 --> 20:11.150 I don't know if you could feel that or not 20:11.150 --> 20:12.270 when you came here before, 20:12.310 --> 20:13.970 but it was like, pay attention. 20:16.430 --> 20:20.150 Impartation happens when it's set up like that. 20:20.450 --> 20:21.370 That means pay attention. 20:21.650 --> 20:22.750 He's about to do something. 20:23.010 --> 20:25.970 But he's also checking our hearts on what we're firm on 20:25.970 --> 20:29.210 and what he's been sustaining us on 20:29.210 --> 20:31.050 or where we've dropped the ball 20:31.050 --> 20:33.390 and are not even doing the thing we said we were going to do. 20:38.930 --> 20:40.830 That's what's in the house this morning. 20:54.850 --> 20:55.370 He said, 20:55.370 --> 20:57.990 After it talks about the Reverend fear of the Lord, 20:58.150 --> 20:58.330 it says, 20:58.550 --> 21:00.990 and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding 21:00.990 --> 21:02.710 and spiritual insight. 21:04.710 --> 21:06.010 The fear of the Lord comes, 21:06.150 --> 21:07.450 we get spiritual insight. 21:07.870 --> 21:09.630 For by me, wisdom from God, 21:09.630 --> 21:10.990 your days will be multiplied 21:10.990 --> 21:12.710 and the years of life shall be increased. 21:12.850 --> 21:14.550 And it goes on and talks about 21:14.550 --> 21:16.730 how wisdom will take place in us. 21:19.010 --> 21:20.230 Let's go ahead and stand. 21:30.140 --> 21:32.160 It's interesting in churches, you can stand, 21:32.400 --> 21:34.760 Neil, you know, you get commands to do different things. 21:35.180 --> 21:37.180 But there's a posturing with myself 21:37.720 --> 21:39.980 that if I'm listening, 21:40.040 --> 21:41.440 a lot of times I will be standing. 21:41.920 --> 21:42.840 I'll be walking. 21:43.560 --> 21:46.200 I'll be like, God, what, what, what, what? 21:46.200 --> 21:48.520 But when he affirms something in me 21:48.520 --> 21:50.080 and it gets so real, 21:50.680 --> 21:52.660 that I know if I say yes to this, 21:52.740 --> 21:53.720 this is for real. 21:54.060 --> 21:56.420 This is like, this is so God right now. 21:56.680 --> 21:57.520 That's when I kneel. 21:59.000 --> 22:00.640 That's when it becomes overpowering. 22:00.700 --> 22:02.580 That's when it's like, I better hit the deck 22:02.580 --> 22:05.520 because I just said yes to something I can't do. 22:06.640 --> 22:08.360 He's going to have to do this. 22:11.460 --> 22:12.500 Praise you, Lord. 22:13.460 --> 22:14.740 Praise you, Lord God. 22:14.740 --> 22:15.740 Let's just begin. 22:16.140 --> 22:17.820 Just quietly praying in the Spirit. 22:30.620 --> 22:33.240 Lord, you have given us knowledge. 22:36.560 --> 22:38.560 You're expanding our understanding. 22:40.360 --> 22:43.180 This builds the landing pad 22:43.180 --> 22:45.780 for wisdom to land on, Lord God. 22:46.200 --> 22:48.480 We have expanded into something now 22:48.480 --> 22:50.500 that we know we can't not know it. 22:50.720 --> 22:51.920 We've come too far. 22:52.180 --> 22:53.100 We've seen it. 22:53.240 --> 22:54.740 We've seen it as watchmen. 22:54.840 --> 22:56.880 We've seen it looking over onto things. 23:00.980 --> 23:01.960 Wisdom, come. 23:02.820 --> 23:04.800 You said in James, if we asked for wisdom, 23:04.940 --> 23:06.480 you'd freely give it to us. 23:09.920 --> 23:13.100 And wisdom always tells us where we came from 23:13.100 --> 23:14.740 and what's happening now 23:14.740 --> 23:16.740 and what the future looks like. 23:16.880 --> 23:19.440 So we might call things that are not as though they were 23:19.440 --> 23:21.620 and pull the future toward us. 23:29.900 --> 23:32.260 There are some who say 23:33.280 --> 23:35.660 after the Lord has told us something, 23:35.660 --> 23:38.040 well, what would be the purpose of that anyway? 23:39.940 --> 23:42.160 His purposes and His plans 23:42.660 --> 23:44.540 will come as we follow Him. 23:46.140 --> 23:47.720 He will not reveal them before. 23:48.340 --> 23:51.900 It's just like the disciples in Acts chapter 1 23:51.900 --> 23:53.500 when it starts out and they're like, 23:54.000 --> 23:55.340 so when are you returning? 23:55.580 --> 23:56.320 How's this going to work? 23:56.420 --> 23:56.740 How's that? 23:56.840 --> 24:00.500 And he just goes, hey, it's not for you to know. 24:01.960 --> 24:02.440 Right? 24:03.060 --> 24:04.000 Don't worry about it. 24:05.220 --> 24:07.220 You go do what I'm telling you to do. 24:09.400 --> 24:09.960 Right? 24:10.320 --> 24:13.580 Which is go and wait for the promised Holy Spirit. 24:14.300 --> 24:16.000 And so he's doing that. 24:16.180 --> 24:18.840 He's going to break that whole questioning thing for us. 24:19.100 --> 24:21.300 Also, where as wisdom comes, 24:21.480 --> 24:23.660 we can't over question wisdom. 24:24.060 --> 24:24.780 We just do. 24:25.400 --> 24:28.020 We just do the next right hard thing 24:28.020 --> 24:29.620 and obey Him. 24:33.550 --> 24:35.110 Ready our hearts, oh God. 24:37.170 --> 24:40.210 Ready our hearts for wisdom to land. 24:40.950 --> 24:44.490 And let her light up all of the understanding 24:44.490 --> 24:47.470 and the knowledge we have regarding things. 24:50.030 --> 24:53.570 Affirm to us today that very thing we need to hear 24:53.570 --> 24:56.790 that will make the situation so firm, 24:57.450 --> 25:00.510 your creative power will make it firm within us 25:00.510 --> 25:03.050 that we know you will sustain us. 25:03.950 --> 25:07.250 You will sustain us to do the thing you're asking us to do. 25:24.810 --> 25:28.050 Holy, holy, holy, holy is the Lord. 25:28.150 --> 25:30.150 Let's have the band come and just play quietly. 25:32.150 --> 25:34.610 We're going to just stay in this aspect of prayer. 25:36.110 --> 25:38.410 I think things are going to be birth now, 25:39.070 --> 25:40.650 but in the service for sure. 25:41.350 --> 25:45.210 Whether pastor preaches on the subject he had planned to or not, 25:45.550 --> 25:46.810 but whatever is going to happen, 25:46.950 --> 25:48.350 something is going to open up. 25:48.670 --> 25:50.470 And you grab that affirmation, 25:50.590 --> 25:51.770 you grab that command, 25:52.050 --> 25:53.550 you grab that knowledge, 25:54.070 --> 25:55.210 and you hold it. 25:57.030 --> 25:58.350 You accept it. 25:59.410 --> 26:03.550 You bring it close to you and let it firm you up. 26:07.390 --> 26:10.590 That will cause the sustaining power to come upon you. 26:11.130 --> 26:12.230 That will cause that. 26:12.330 --> 26:13.390 So we press into you. 26:13.510 --> 26:16.110 That's a lot to just kind of try to ramrod 26:16.110 --> 26:17.930 in just a few minutes here. 26:18.150 --> 26:20.770 So we're going to take a little bit extra time 26:20.770 --> 26:22.510 just being in your anointing 26:24.470 --> 26:25.350 and worship. 26:30.770 --> 26:34.370 And we're going to pray. 26:35.570 --> 26:38.470 Even if it's just quietly praying to begin with 26:38.470 --> 26:41.450 or praising or I should say just playing. 26:47.570 --> 26:48.690 And we're going to pray. 26:48.890 --> 26:50.070 So I declare something. 26:50.370 --> 26:51.330 We will not flounder. 26:52.530 --> 26:54.130 We're not going to flip flop. 26:54.490 --> 26:56.470 We're not going to be tossed back and forth 26:56.470 --> 26:58.910 on every wave of belief system or doctrine. 26:58.910 --> 27:01.950 We're going to be pulled to a place 27:01.950 --> 27:04.030 because wisdom will pull you to a place 27:04.030 --> 27:05.570 that you're tied to. 27:06.670 --> 27:08.770 And it's absolute truth. 27:09.470 --> 27:10.890 Here is where the truth is. 27:11.010 --> 27:11.830 We don't flip flop. 27:12.170 --> 27:13.550 We're not duo-minded. 27:14.150 --> 27:16.690 We're not standing in two places at once. 27:16.890 --> 27:20.490 Part of affirming something is bringing it together 27:20.490 --> 27:22.870 so it stands in one spot. 27:24.130 --> 27:25.930 That's what affirmations do. 27:27.650 --> 27:29.510 If you're a person who likes to compliment, 27:29.770 --> 27:30.550 that's something different. 27:30.670 --> 27:32.830 An affirmation will pull you 27:32.830 --> 27:35.210 out of all those duo-triple-thinkings 27:35.210 --> 27:37.110 and it'll just pull you into one spot 27:37.110 --> 27:38.910 and you'll stand there for her. 27:39.470 --> 27:40.050 I see it. 27:41.210 --> 27:42.190 I see it. 27:42.890 --> 27:44.550 The Lord is affirming my heart. 27:44.830 --> 27:45.510 I see it. 27:58.550 --> 28:01.270 Maybe you need to be firmed up in your finances, 28:01.630 --> 28:04.110 your destiny, your next step. 28:06.250 --> 28:07.730 It doesn't matter what it is. 28:07.910 --> 28:09.830 What has He already told you to do 28:09.830 --> 28:10.850 that you haven't been doing? 28:12.190 --> 28:13.210 Deal with that first. 28:14.570 --> 28:16.090 What has He already said 28:16.090 --> 28:17.210 that we haven't been doing? 28:17.430 --> 28:18.230 Deal with that first. 28:23.730 --> 28:25.050 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. 28:28.040 --> 28:28.860 He said, 28:32.620 --> 28:33.300 jurnamananayera 28:39.100 --> 28:39.780 Jesus. 28:42.340 --> 28:44.060 Holy Spirit, you're welcome. 28:45.120 --> 28:48.080 Move on us and through us and in us. 28:57.640 --> 29:00.860 Move on us, in us and through us. 29:00.880 --> 29:00.960 Move on us. 29:04.380 --> 29:05.920 Come like a wind. 29:06.960 --> 29:08.480 Come like a fire. 29:09.980 --> 29:12.500 Come where we're parts, like a rain. 29:15.560 --> 29:17.500 You do the work, Lord God. 29:17.740 --> 29:19.080 You are the creative God. 29:19.240 --> 29:20.560 You're the one who makes a way 29:20.560 --> 29:22.160 where there seems to be none. 29:22.920 --> 29:24.580 You are adonai. 29:26.100 --> 29:27.260 Hijo celerea. 29:27.260 --> 29:29.940 Impairo tolo celerea. 29:30.300 --> 29:32.440 You are adonai. 29:36.040 --> 29:37.260 Hijo celerea. 29:41.280 --> 29:43.120 Hijo celerea. 29:45.040 --> 29:53.270 Oh, Jesus. 29:57.530 --> 29:59.830 We take our losses and we bring them 29:59.830 --> 30:00.650 before you, Lord. 30:02.690 --> 30:04.830 We take the things that we've gained. 30:05.750 --> 30:08.410 The knowledge and all of the 30:08.410 --> 30:12.850 extra finances, emotional support, 30:12.990 --> 30:13.990 anything that we've gained. 30:14.230 --> 30:16.390 We bring it all to you 30:16.390 --> 30:18.450 and lay it at your feet. 30:19.670 --> 30:22.350 Any of what we consider a loss, Lord, 30:22.490 --> 30:24.330 we lay that at your feet. 30:25.710 --> 30:28.810 And we come to become one-minded, 30:29.250 --> 30:31.110 single-minded with you. 30:31.750 --> 30:33.870 We have the mind of Christ. 30:34.730 --> 30:36.830 We think like the anointed one 30:36.830 --> 30:38.810 and we think like his anointing. 30:38.890 --> 30:41.110 We think like the anointed one 30:41.110 --> 30:44.110 and we think like his anointing. 30:44.830 --> 30:48.030 We're coming to become one with you, Lord God. 30:49.790 --> 30:50.470 One. 30:51.370 --> 30:53.750 One in the spirit, one in mind. 30:55.510 --> 30:56.190 One. 30:58.470 --> 30:59.150 Jesus. 30:59.150 --> 30:59.510 Jesus. 31:03.860 --> 31:04.840 No confusion. 31:05.660 --> 31:06.980 No flip-flop. 31:08.500 --> 31:09.880 No doubt being duo. 31:10.500 --> 31:11.680 We refuse it. 31:14.320 --> 31:16.020 No jumping thoughts. 31:17.780 --> 31:20.820 We come into being one with you. 31:23.760 --> 31:25.600 We stick to our destiny. 31:26.300 --> 31:27.980 We stick to the next things that 31:27.980 --> 31:29.000 we're supposed to do. 31:29.000 --> 31:31.240 You bring us to that spot 31:31.240 --> 31:32.480 where we're not scattered. 31:33.460 --> 31:35.120 We are one as a church. 31:35.400 --> 31:36.640 We are one as individuals. 31:36.840 --> 31:37.900 We're one as families. 31:38.160 --> 31:40.720 We are one thought, one mind 31:41.480 --> 31:42.760 that wisdom come. 31:46.180 --> 31:47.100 Wisdom come 31:47.720 --> 31:49.620 and sort that out for us. 31:50.380 --> 31:51.920 Wisdom speak louder 31:51.920 --> 31:53.120 than these other things. 31:53.980 --> 31:55.440 Wisdom put in order. 31:55.580 --> 31:57.600 The power of wisdom put in order 31:57.600 --> 31:58.640 our next steps. 31:59.860 --> 32:02.440 Affirm who we are to our Lord. 32:04.520 --> 32:05.560 Wisdom come. 32:20.150 --> 32:26.320 Thank you. 32:26.800 --> 32:28.800 Where we have been broken in heart, 32:29.160 --> 32:31.020 broken in our spirits. 32:33.660 --> 32:34.960 Oh God, 32:36.020 --> 32:38.000 causes to draw closer 32:38.000 --> 32:39.680 than we've ever been before. 32:41.260 --> 32:43.480 Help us to draw closer 32:43.480 --> 32:45.260 than we've ever been before. 32:56.840 --> 32:59.860 We accept your will and your ways. 33:00.700 --> 33:02.900 Your precepts and your commands 33:02.900 --> 33:04.160 and we say yes. 33:05.100 --> 33:06.180 We say yes. 33:06.780 --> 33:07.960 We say yes. 33:08.600 --> 33:11.200 We get up and we say yes. 33:23.580 --> 33:25.820 A lot of us have gone through 33:25.820 --> 33:26.920 some different things. 33:27.400 --> 33:29.080 And one thing I know about people 33:29.080 --> 33:31.440 is we have not had permission 33:31.440 --> 33:33.700 or the freedom many times 33:33.700 --> 33:35.740 to express to God how we feel. 33:38.440 --> 33:40.380 So then we're like a clogged pipe 33:40.380 --> 33:42.880 and we're trying to think 33:42.880 --> 33:44.200 so much digitally 33:44.200 --> 33:46.600 when really something just needs to come out. 33:48.100 --> 33:49.500 The cry of our heart 33:49.500 --> 33:50.460 needs to come out. 33:51.460 --> 33:53.760 The clearing of the threshing floor 33:53.760 --> 33:55.520 needs to happen through 33:55.520 --> 33:57.340 the cry of our heart. 34:00.870 --> 34:03.150 So let's begin to sing in the spirit 34:03.150 --> 34:05.010 because you can do that 34:05.010 --> 34:06.130 and kind of play around with it 34:06.130 --> 34:08.190 like you do singing a choir song. 34:09.070 --> 34:10.510 Or you can allow 34:11.270 --> 34:12.950 him to touch your emotions 34:12.950 --> 34:15.010 while you're singing 34:15.010 --> 34:15.930 in the spirit. 34:17.290 --> 34:19.290 And he gathers those things 34:19.290 --> 34:20.470 that are not of him. 34:20.510 --> 34:21.910 And he gathers those tears 34:21.910 --> 34:24.090 that we would normally feel. 34:24.270 --> 34:25.730 And he gathers those things 34:25.730 --> 34:28.030 and sifts it all out through us. 34:30.810 --> 34:32.410 It's part of us letting go. 34:32.570 --> 34:34.190 It's part of us changing.
