We've been talking just to get us up to running speed. We've been talking about
our identity in Christ. And we just got started. This would be the third message.
And the first message, we talked about what the human race, the human being, was created for.
What we were created to be. What we were created to do.
And understanding that peace helps us understand where we're going because Jesus is going to restore back and has restored back.
Let me jump in the middle of this. There is a difference between positional and progressive.
And I don't know if we're all aware of that. So let me sit on it just a bit.
Positionally, we are, from the Father's perspective, the righteousness of Christ.
Progressively, the Holy Spirit is working on us daily.
To take us to where the Father is calling us to be.
Positionally, healing is all bought and paid for and done.
Progressively, we have to receive it by faith and apply it.
There is a difference between the God who calls things as are not as though they were
and the actual working out to conform to what he's calling.
There is a process in the progressives even though God is saying, I call it done.
Jesus came to restore our identity as a human race.
We were created, we were formed, we were made to be a certain type of being for a specific reason
and we won't go back and talk about all that again.
But for a specific reason, that is why he made us.
And then we lost it, Adam and Eve sinned and we lost it.
And everything was lost. The reason we were made, the purpose we had.
Everything was lost from God's perspective.
What he made Adam and Eve to be, they were no longer.
And what Adam and Eve were to be, they were no longer.
So they lost it, God lost what he was after, the whole thing.
And Jesus came to restore us back to what God designed us to be.
If you buy a truck and you drive it for a while and then you hit a deer, whatever.
When they restore it, they're not going to make a car out of it.
They're going to restore it back to what it was originally designed to be.
A truck. Not going to be a bigger truck, not going to be a littler truck.
It's not going to be an SUV, it's a truck.
God designed the human race to function and do certain things.
Jesus came as the second Adam to restore that back to us.
That is the identity we're supposed to pick up now is what we were made to be.
And we're going there, we're moving there.
We talked about what we were in the first message.
We talked about what we became when we lost it all in the second message.
And this morning I was going to begin moving forward in...
Let's talk about what Jesus is restoring us back to.
And it even goes more than what Adam and Eve originally had.
We walk in greater now, because that's just how God does things.
When the devil comes in and tries to break something,
and we let God in the scene,
he says, well, since he went in there and messed, I'm going to make it better than it originally was.
It's just kind of like a kick in his teeth.
If you'd have left him alone, they wouldn't have ended up as well.
But since you wanted to attack Job,
and you wanted to take him out,
yes, now in the end I'm going to have to make him just so much more than he was originally.
It's just kind of God's way of thumbing his nose at the devil.
And what he does with us is so much more than what Adam and Eve had.
That's the goal. That's where he's taking us. That's where he wants us to be.
So that's what I was going to start in on this morning.
And during that real strong holy time, the Lord said, can't go there.
I said, can't go there. I want to go there. I'm excited about this.
This is good. What do you mean I can't go there?
He said the system of this age, this world, has so deeply ingrained into us
that if you go there and run through it too quickly, it's just going to blow over their heads.
It'll be words, but it'll never change the core.
It's the same thing with deliverance.
If someone has had demon problems for 10, 15, 20 years, maybe most of their life, whatever,
getting the demon out is easy.
Changing how the demon taught them to think is lots of work.
Because the longer that spirit was there, it kept forming how they viewed life.
And you can get rid of the spirit and you know what? They think the same way.
Because they've been trained to think that way.
Guess what? We have not been trained in how God sees us.
We have been trained in how this world system wants us to see ourselves.
And in order to defeat, you know, the whole morning is kind of just lined up.
I'll just pick the last one.
In order to defeat what Felicia quoted there, where the Father wants to wield his raw power through us.
Put yourself in Satan's sight. That's not news to him. He's knowing that.
In order to stop that, he has to stop it from happening through us.
So the easiest way to do that is to help us come from the perspective of something that is way below what God created us to be.
Condemning ourselves, questioning all the time, worry, fear, upset, lack of trusting God.
Just a lot of stuff we've been trained in that won't fly with the revelation of the raw power of God through us.
So as long as he can keep us thinking like a bunch of turkeys, we will never fly with the eagles.
I'm not insulting you. I'm trying to draw a picture for you.
Some of you got the look in your face like, he just called me a turkey.
Well, like a wise man once said, the shoe fits, put it on.
If we're living down here in everything we've been trained by this world system, we will never flow in the raw power of God.
We have to understand who we are and it's not these people down here.
He has created a new person.
It's not even Adam and Eve's level.
Do you realize, I just want to throw this in just to kind of wet your appetite of where we're eventually going.
We're not going there this morning, but I want to wet your appetite.
Adam and Eve were given the authority to rule and reign the earth.
Had they not sinned, they'd still be here helping call their shots and ruling and reigning the earth.
They lost all that. Jesus came, restored it.
And the father says, well, you know, let's just upgrade that a little bit.
Give them a new download.
Rather than just ruling and reigning the earth, I'm going to have them ruling and reigning from the heavenly realms.
Why do you think we're seated with Christ Jesus in the heavenly realm?
That's the seat of authority at the right hand of the father.
Why do you think Jesus said, if you'll be faithful with little, God will give you much.
If you'll take care of what you're supposed to take care of now, God will make you a ruler over 10 cities.
Where's this going to happen?
What Jesus restored to us is actually way bigger than what Adam and Eve had.
Adam and Eve were never intended to live in a mansion in heaven with God.
We are.
But we don't always understand, wait a second, that's me?
Well, then why is my day going so bad?
Because he's trying to keep you thinking like a turkey.
So he said, don't go there. He said, I want you to pray over the people this morning.
I was going to start in Ephesians 2. We're going to back up.
We're going to go to Ephesians 1. I'm going to read out of the Amplified.
If you've been following our podcast, we went through that first half of the chapter real thoroughly dealing with predestination.
So we're not even going to touch that, except to say this.
And it shows up in chapter 2. He says exactly, let's see if I can find it.
It was kind of funny when I was putting this together.
It says exactly what we were saying, verse 10.
Can you bring up Ephesians 2, 10 in the Amplified? And I think I used the classic one.
For we are his workmanship, we are God's own handiwork.
Wrong version. If you can find the other one. I know Mary uses that one.
I use the other one. And there's a few more.
So I'll just start reading.
For we are God's own handiwork, his workmanship recreated in Christ Jesus, born anew,
that we may do those good works which God predestined planned beforehand for us,
taking paths which he prepared ahead of time,
that we should walk in them, living the good life which he prearranged
and made ready for us to live.
God has a life planned for us.
He predestined us to live that life.
We have the choice whether we're going to live it or not.
It's not that we're without choice. We have the choice.
If we're going to live what God has planned for us, and many, most people don't,
many Christians don't.
But he pre-planned it.
He pre-planned it from the beginning all the way down to
God knows the number of days in the plan, Psalms 139.
Got the exact, this is how she's supposed to go.
A destination. You have a destination to reach while you're on this earth.
He pre-planned how you're going to get there.
That's called predestination.
If you're not in Christ, you have no predestination whatsoever.
The thief comes just to kill, steal, and destroy.
And he'll knock you out any direction he can.
His whole plan is destroy you.
Well, I've got a plan from the devil.
Yeah, to kill you, destroy you.
That's the only plan he's got.
God has everything else worked out pre-planned item by item,
detailed by detail of where he wants us to go.
That's verses 1 through 15 of chapter 1.
Now jump back to verse 16 of chapter 1.
If you could put that up, we'll start there.
And I'm going to walk through a couple of verses here.
I do not want, I do not cease to give thanks for you,
making mention of you in my prayers.
Okay? So now he's coming from the context of
you have a life laid out by God.
And it is a good life. It is a powerful life.
It will produce awesome things for you
and it will produce awesome things for the kingdom.
It will produce fruit for eternity.
God did it for you. It's all there pre-planned.
He says, so now I got to pray for you.
Why? Verse 17.
I always prayed to the God of our Lord Jesus Christ,
the Father of glory, that he may grant you
a spirit of wisdom and revelation,
of insight into mysteries and secrets,
in the deep and intimate knowledge of him.
Which is that? I mean, that's just a huge mouthful.
I'm praying that God gives you a spirit of wisdom
and revelation into all these things that are hidden.
Well, what are the things that are hidden?
What did he just talk about?
You have a pre-planned life.
You need to see it.
You need to understand the next step you take by faith
and the next step you take by faith.
Realizing this is a God-ordained, lined up life.
If you don't see that, the whole plan goes down the tubes.
And we just wander around this earth groping.
Well, I don't know what God wants from me.
I don't know what His will is from me.
Paul says right out of the gates,
you have got to see His plan.
So I'm praying for wisdom.
We're going to pray that over each other here
before we're done this morning.
That the mysteries and secrets of your life...
You know how when Abraham missed it
and he went to Egypt,
got in all kinds of trouble,
came back, he went to the exact same spot
where he decided to go to Egypt.
Some of us could be wandering around here in Egypt.
He will bring you back to the exact same spot
where you walked away.
Some of us, that might be so many years ago,
we can't remember what that spot was.
Well, he'll show you.
Let's go back and pick it up where you dropped it.
And we'll walk it forward.
He's not going to show you the whole thing.
He's going to show you some of the next steps.
Because if he showed you the whole thing,
you'd be so scared you would just
shrivel up and go into a fetal position
and lay there shaking.
It's too big for us at this point.
We have to grow into these things.
He said, I'm praying that God gives you wisdom
and revelation to see the secrets.
What are the secrets?
The deep intimate knowledge of him.
What's that knowledge?
We'll go up to the first 15 verses.
He's the one who laid out how our life
can go and should go.
Well, how am I going to get that?
By having verse 18,
the eyes of your heart flooded with light.
See, now I've got to point something out here.
And at some point, we're going to deal with this in the podcast.
The difference in Scripture between
the physical and the spiritual.
If we read this book continually
from a physical perspective,
we're going to miss most of it.
For instance, that first phrase,
he's not talking about our physical man,
he's talking about our spirit man.
Since he started talking about our spirit man,
you can't switch to the physical man
in the second phrase.
So that you can know and understand
the hope to which he has called you.
And how rich is his glorious inheritance
in the saints.
He's talking about
you've got to see this in your spirit man.
Know it and understand it in your spirit man.
And he throws the word hope in there.
Understand the hope.
What is hope?
What's the definition?
Excellent.
Star for today.
Joyful, confident expectation of something good.
Until God's joyful, confident expectation
of my life is going to produce
something good, drops in your spirit man,
your physical realm will not respond.
We know it here first,
out of the abundance of the heart.
Guard the wellspring of your heart.
That's your spirit man.
It drops into our spirit man,
comes alive and out of our spirit man
comes this anticipation, this excitement,
this
my God, what he's asking me to do is impossible,
but I don't know why I'm excited about it.
This in the physical, this can never happen.
But in my, I always say in my gut, in my heart,
it's like I know.
And see that's what Paul was talking about,
a knowledge that passes knowledge.
The spirit man knowledge comes first
and then the physical man has to get in line.
Our thinking has to get in line.
That's the war because our soul,
our flesh doesn't like the things of God.
It's our spirit who hungers and craves
and thirsts after him.
That's why in a service like we had this morning
where the presence of the Lord gets heavy,
some of you are going, I don't know what's wrong with me.
It's just like there's something inside of me.
It's just like, oh man, I love this.
And your head's going, what's going on?
I'm going to make a fool out of myself.
I've never raised my hand before in my life.
I don't know about you, but something inside me
wants me to raise my hand.
Go like this.
And there's this war going on.
That's your spirit man responding
to its creator, to its Lord, to its master.
And your physical side going,
I mean, if you start listening to the thoughts of the flesh,
you know, I'd rather be fishing.
I'd rather be in a boat.
And your soul's going, well, I don't know which to choose.
Of course, some says the soul cleaves to the dust.
So if you give a choice, eventually it'll go to the flesh.
But the soul is where the war is at.
You need the eyes of your spirit man flooded with light.
Then you will know and understand this good thing
that he has called you to.
Well, I don't know if it'll ever happen.
And how rich, how rich is his glorious inheritance in the saints?
What he drops in our heart, he wants to see it happen
because he wants to be able and we're going to get into that.
Okay, I better stay here because we're going to go there.
He wants to be able in eternity to show, look what I did.
See, he gets all the glory.
It's not going to be, oh, look how well they turned out.
They did really good for themselves.
Nope.
Look what I did because of my love and my grace and my mercy.
I created this.
He wants us to change into his likeness.
He doesn't want to go.
Well, they made it by the skin of their teeth, so to speak.
Through those who don't brush often.
Made it.
You know how Mary was talking in prayer?
You say something and it gives you a picture.
Well, that was it right there.
They made it, but they're just a basket of losers.
And some, that's going to be true.
Their life produced nothing on earth for God.
But by grace they made it.
That's not what he's after, but we first have to understand that in our spirit man.
Because our soul man, our physical man, our mind, our emotions have been so inundated with the negative, the opposite of God, the wrong.
That it continually tries to talk us out of what we feel in our heart.
God will speak to us and say something, and we'll come up with a thousand reasons why it probably wasn't God.
We'll never work.
I'm not going to make a fool out of myself.
See, we've been trained in that.
Why would we be trained in that?
Because if he can successfully keep us thinking like a bunch of turkeys down here.
We will never rise up to and accomplish what he just dropped into our spirit man.
What's in our heart, our mind, our thinking, our emotions has to grab and hold on to and be changed, conformed to agree with it.
And then this flesh thing, we just rule it.
I mean, it's not going to change till we get our new body.
We just tell it what to do.
So he's saying, for you to get that preplanned life, you got to get some wisdom, some revelation, some insight.
And the way that's going to happen is going to be in your spirit man.
It starts there first.
You've got to know and understand and get it inside first, verse 19.
And so that you can know and understand what is the immeasurable and unlimited and surpassing greatness of his power in and for us who believe it.
As demonstrated in the working of his mighty strength, which goes into the next verse.
So let's just back up, leave that last phrase out as demonstrated.
We'll pick that up as we get to it.
And so you can know, he says you've got to get the wisdom, you've got to get the revelation.
This needs to be spoken into your spirit man, your heart.
You've got to have light there where there's darkness.
You're, you're groping around.
I don't understand life.
I don't understand what we're supposed to do next.
I don't get it.
I don't get it because your spirit man has not been flooded with the knowledge and the like yet.
Once that happens, verse 19, the reason that needs to take place is that so that you can
know and understand what is the immeasurable, unlimited, and surpassing greatness of his
power in us, in and for us who believe.
You say, why would that show up there?
Because we, if we've been trained by this world system, we honestly believe whatever
dropped into our heart can never happen for me.
I don't see any way how that could ever happen.
It's going to take too much money.
It's going to take too much time.
It's going to take too much.
I mean, I'm committed to this.
I'm committed to that.
I'd have to rearrange my lifestyle.
It's just... and we can never see it happening for us.
And Paul says, once you see where God wants you to go, now I'm praying you get a
revelation of the immeasurable and unlimited and surpassing greatness of his
power.
Why?
Because he's going to get you there, not you.
It's his power that takes us there, not our power.
Until we can get to the point of going, well, I'm doing everything I know how to
do, but it's going to have to be you.
Until we get to that point, his power can't really kick in.
Because as long as we're thinking, well, look what my hand has produced, God's
just going to stand back and go, yeah, you're taking all the glory, so I can't
get involved in that.
Look what I've done with my gifts.
Yep, you go ahead and glory.
Have at it.
Until we cross over into, yeah, I might be able to do something with the gifts God
gave me, but it's nothing compared to what I'm seeing in my heart.
God's going, oh, we got a live one.
If this is going to happen, man, this is going to be God, and I'm going to
do everything I know how to do, but this is going to have to be, oh, yes.
Now he'll step in, because when it's all said and done, you know what's going to
drop out of our mouth?
Yeah, that wasn't me.
I could never pull that off.
That was God.
And he gets the glory.
That's why we have to see this.
See, this is all groundwork to chapter two, where he says, by the way, this
is who you are now.
This is your identity in Christ.
But if we don't get that, some things are caught, not taught.
And the prayer we're going to pray over each other this morning is God help us
to catch it, because I can teach it, teach it, teach it, and it may not
ever reach the mark.
But if the Holy Spirit can open the eyes of our understanding and just
reach in and go, pooh!
It'll go, whoa!
I'm seeing life totally different.
I don't know how we'll ever get there.
That's why you need that verse.
That's how you're going to get there, in God's power.
Now let's pick up that last phrase.
As demonstrated in the working of his mighty strength, which he exerted
in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his
own right hand in the heavenly places.
The same, Romans 8.11, the same spirit, the same power
that raised Christ from the dead dwells in you.
The same power dwells in you.
Well, I don't see it that way.
That's the problem.
Well, it sure doesn't feel like it.
That's the problem.
Still going by feelings.
Well, I don't understand it.
That's the problem.
But the fact is, the Holy Spirit's sitting in you going,
we're burning daylight here, another year older,
never went anywhere yet.
How are we going to get this person motivated?
How are we going to get them going?
They don't see it.
They don't get what the Father has in store for them.
That's the problem.
I'll just wait until you're all done watching that.
And that's awesome, that God working in a person's life.
Golly, golly, golly.
So the same power that raised Jesus from the dead,
we have to understand that's the power he's talking about
in verse 19 when he said,
this is the power for you to make it happen.
Where did he put Jesus?
Well, verse 21,
far above all rule authority, power, dominion,
every name that is named,
every title that can be conferred,
not only in this age,
but in this world,
but also in the age and in the world,
which are to come.
Now get this,
pull your religious cap off,
and put your revelation cap on.
Where did Jesus go?
He raised him from the dead,
seated him at his own right hand in heavenly places.
That's his position of authority.
We see it in the next verse.
Far above all rule and authority,
and power and dominion,
and every name that is named above,
every title that can be conferred,
not only in this world,
this age,
and in this world, this time,
but also in the age and the world to come.
And who's seated with him?
Just for the tickles?
The thrill of it?
No.
See, when God said,
let's fix the damage truck.
Let's fix the damage human being.
And just so the devil knows,
you should have left it alone,
because when I'm done,
it's going to be way beyond anything
that you ever thought I was going to do.
So he created this human race
in his image, in his likeness,
going back to message one,
made us just below Elohim,
in authority, in power, in position,
just below Elohim,
we're seated,
that must be a big, wide throne,
because we're all lined up like kids.
Seated right there with Christ.
Father's here, he's at the right hand.
We're all lined up there.
Why?
Because we are in the spot of authority,
not with him,
just under him.
He's still boss.
Just like when you're driving the kids to McDonald's,
and they're seated in the same vehicle with you,
and they start mouthing off and smarting,
you know, your kids maybe never did that.
At some point you have to remind them,
even though you're with me,
I'm still the boss.
We can turn this car around and go home,
if you don't quit hitting your brother.
We raise kids too, we know what it's like.
It's really good for the sanctification process.
If you've never had a child,
you've missed out on a lot of opportunity to grow.
And if you have one or two, that's great,
but you need more than one to really grow.
Amen.
One of the reasons God wants us,
well, he calls it a quiverful,
I had a really little quiver, and that's okay.
But one reason he wants more than one in the quiver
is because that child has no one to fight with,
that child has no one to be jealous of,
that child has no one to compare what they're doing.
I mean, that child is the center of those parents' world.
I mean, it's easy to raise a one child.
So when the second one comes along
and stirs things up,
and then the third one comes along and lights the fuse,
and tries to blow the whole home up.
Now, it's like,
now mom and dad get a chance to grow.
We are seated with Jesus.
That's not just a pretty position.
That's a position.
He just described it as a position of authority.
So now I'm going to stretch you.
Remember, you took that religious cap off
and you got the one on that goes,
I never thought of it that way before.
I'm going to pray about that.
Okay, you got that one on?
Where is Jesus seated?
Right hand of the Father, far above everything,
all dominion, all power, all authority,
every name, every title,
not only in this age, but in the one to come.
We're right there with Him.
That's why we will judge angels,
because angels in authority structure
now are beneath us.
Angels are not seated at the right hand
of the Father with Jesus.
We are.
So you've got to have that structure of authority.
It has to flow all the way through.
Now, just in case you're going,
ah, I don't know if I can buy that.
You know, that means in eternity that the whole universe,
God the Father, Jesus, us,
and it flows down from there.
Yep, that's what it means.
Well, that's just, I don't know if I can buy that.
Well, read on with me.
And He has put all things under His feet
and has appointed Him.
So the Father is talking about Jesus here.
The Father has put all things under the feet of Jesus
and appointed Jesus the universal
and supreme head of the church,
a headship exercise throughout the church,
which is His body.
Woohoo, that's us.
The fullness of Him who fills all in all.
For in that body lives the full measure of Him
who makes everything complete
and who fills everything,
everywhere with Himself.
That's us.
That's who we are.
Woohoo.
Everything that's put under the head
is also under the body.
That's why God told Eve,
you're going to squish His head with your heel.
That wasn't her power.
That was God's power.
If Jesus is the head and we're the body,
the body flows under the signals of the head.
But it's the body that gets the job done
as it follows the directions of the head.
And I have yet to see anyone go to their boss at work
and say, I'll agree with your head.
But what your body is trying to tell me to do
with these notes and all this stuff, I ain't going there.
They'd look at you like you're, what?
You're off your rocker.
The head and the body are one.
If the head says you're fired
and writes the note and gives it to you,
you're fired.
The body carries out what the head wants.
All of everything has been given to the head.
And how is he going to read it?
Fill all in all the body
for in that body lives the full measure of the head.
Who makes everything complete,
he fills everything everywhere
with himself.
You know who's going to, this is out of the box,
but since you've got your revelation hat on
and you're going, okay, I'm going to pray about that.
Give you one more point.
Do you know who's going to rule the universe?
Obviously God.
Through us.
We are going to fill everything
as his body.
Not over Christ, under, we're under Elohim.
But we're right there.
Some of you are like, it's glitching, it's going.
Computer screen just froze.
It's like, come back online, come back online.
Take it and pray about it
and read what the word actually says.
Not what religion said, not what VBS taught you,
not what Sunday school taught you.
Read what the word actually says
about who you are.
And you will be amazed
what God has vested in us
through the death and the resurrection of Jesus.
You're going to be amazed.
So now just kind of watching at some of the reaction
or feeling some of the, I don't know,
I can see why he said they're not ready for it.
If you just jump into it, oh, it'll be good information.
It's going to blow right over them.
It's not going to internalize
and say that is me.
Because what Paul just prayed for the Ephesians
we're struggling with.
Wow, is it really?
I mean, come on, really?
See, we have been so diminished
by this world system.
We believe we're stupid.
We believe we're incapable.
We believe we're not gifted.
We believe the other shoe is going to drop.
We didn't have a silver spoon in our mouth
that we were born.
We're not good looking enough.
We just believe, believe, believe, believe, believe.
We got turkeys and I talked with them once in a while
so I practiced that.
That's how we believe.
Without God's help,
you can open a gate right in front of a turkey
and they're trying to get in the fence.
That's got to be God with us.
Right there it is.
Follow what I dropped in your heart.
He's saying I want to pray over you people.
That your spirit man gets this.
Because if you get it on the inside,
there's hope it will eventually come out.
Now we're going to pray these things
over each other this morning.
This is voluntary.
If you don't want to be part of this,
that's fine.
But I'm going to have everybody stand
and I want us to hold hands.
We can link arms.
We can do whatever.
We can cross the aisles.
However you want to do it.
But we're going to pray for the turkey
to get crucified.
And for the eagle to come out.
And as I'm praying,
I'm just going to look at the points of the verses
we just looked at.
And as I'm praying, just agree with me
for the person on your right
and the person on your left.
Just agree.
Yes, God, do this in them.
For I always pray
to the God of our Lord Jesus Christ
the Father of glory.
Father, we address you this morning
in Jesus' name.
And we stand here
as the sheep of your pastor.
We stand here as your people this morning.
And I pray for us
and we pray for each other
that the spirit of wisdom
and revelation
into what we are,
who we are,
what we're on this earth for,
that pre-planned life,
that insight into the secrets
and the mysteries,
we call it to drop into the hearts
of these people,
those watching online,
drop into us in Jesus' name.
Get it in our spirit.
What you've created us to be,
the path you want us to walk,
drop it into us,
I pray in Jesus' name.
Open the eyes of my spirit man
to see this.
Open the eyes that my heart
might be flooded,
my spirit man,
our spirit man
might be flooded with light
so that we can know and understand.
And once we know and understand
that hope will light up inside of us.
We don't even understand
or know in the physical yet
why this feels right
or why this feels good
and why if we actually meditate on it
and pray about it,
we get excited.
In our head it's just like,
I don't get it, this is crazy.
Drop that into our spirit.
Drop it so we see it.
Light that up inside of us
in Jesus' name.
Help us to see it in our spirit man first
and then it will come out.
That we can understand this.
No one understand
the immeasurable,
unlimited,
surpassing greatness of
your power.
Because you're the one
who's gonna do it in us.
You're the one who's gonna do it for us.
Yes it says,
understand the greatness of your power
for those of us who believe.
What is our job?
Believe.
Keep the face.
Keep walking this thing.
Hang on.
With everything cling to,
adhere to.
Him.
Believe.
But it's your power
that's gonna make it happen.
Lord help us understand
our role
and help us understand your role
and the fact you're not
wanting to withhold your power.
That's why it's already
given and living inside of us.
It's already there.
This isn't a question of what
I don't know if God's power is for me.
He's already in you.
Already there.
Waiting.
And that we understand
Jesus didn't have
all these great advantages
over us when it comes to
fulfilling the reason we're here.
Father, but we understand
that the same power
that raised him from the dead
and set him
where he was supposed to go
is the same power
living in us.
It's the same power.
And it will place us
into the position we need to go.
Appointing us
to carry out
your purpose on this earth.
And Father, I pray we don't
get super spiritual there
and think only
scriptural stuff.
We need godly leaders
in this state
and in the Congress.
We need godly sheriffs.
We need godly local representatives.
We need godly companies
that do the electric,
that do the plumbing,
that build the roads,
that make the houses,
that fix the things that are broken.
These are all part
of what you've dropped into people's hearts.
We need to see it in our inner man.
I pray in the name of Jesus
over the course of the next few weeks,
this drops in us.
Who am I, God?
Who am I?
What have you made me to be?
That is going to be the cry of our heart
the next few weeks.
Who am I?
What have you made me to be?
Show me. Drop it into me.
So I don't miss
what you call me.
What you've said I should be.
What you said I should accomplish.
I've got to see it.
I need wisdom. I need understanding.
I need revelation.
And Lord, we're agreeing for that
right now
in Jesus' name.
We're touching.
If two or three agree
is touching anything, it'll be done.
We're not only touching
that spirit realm side.
We're physically locking in
and saying I am calling this
over my brother, over my sister.
It's going to be easier for them
to see it than it will to not
see it.
Because we agreed in faith.
In Jesus' name.
So Lord, weld that question
into us here for the next few weeks
and then we're going to start opening it up.
Who am I?
What is my identity?
How do you see me, God?
And help me to quit
thinking like a turkey where when
I say God, how do you see me?
We start feeling bad about ourselves.
We getting depressed and I'm such a failure.
I'm probably not doing what God wants me to do.
And I've made so many mistakes
and I've meshed so much up
and now I'm supposed to believe
oh, I can't believe. Who am I?
I don't know what...
God, that needs to get
washed out of us.
That all is the thinking
that keeps us way below
where you've designed us to be.
So as we keep saying
daily, maybe many times a day
show me my identity.
Show me who I am.
Show me. I want to see it.
I want wisdom and revelation in this.
Show me.
Drop it into my heart. Drop it into my spirit, man.
Light it up in me.
Show me.
Lord, I'm believing
for supernatural
to take place over
every one of us
in Jesus' name.
Can you agree?
Amen.
