For those of you just coming in, we've been talking about Abraham and Isaac.
Let's go ahead and turn our Bibles to Genesis chapter 22. We're going to continue on with this.
And it's not just a story that has some good points in it.
Right now, it's literally prophetically something the church is walking through.
We're walking through this as individuals. It's something you can be at a different stage in one area.
You know, and walking up the mountain ready to sacrifice in another area.
It's just spiritual growth. It's how this all works.
But before we get started, Genesis chapter 22, I want us all to stand and we're going to agree in prayer for a new opening.
And that's in nato wash. And so I will be leaving here right after prayer and going up and preaching in nato wash to the native community.
And then heading up to red lake. So if we could stand and agree in prayer.
Father, we thank you that in the region, you raise up churches. You raise up kings and priests.
You put it together. You put it. You're a dot connector.
We thank your Lord. The puzzle pieces are coming together for the region.
One little area at a time. One little place at a time.
Thank you, God, for openings of the doors. We take authority over anything that's saying no to me being there.
And we say yes to you. And therefore the angels plow the way. The word of God is there to settle what we've already prayed.
We thank you for that. We agree for safety, guidance, and even more of an opening as we walk through this new door in the name of Jesus.
Amen. Thank you for that.
Yeah, so we are back talking about Abraham and Isaac.
And a lot has happened in the last few weeks where questions have been posed of, you know, back in chapter 21 where we talked about settling past things.
You know, like the well was covered over and they had to make a covenant regarding settling that argument.
Or that thing that was done wrong.
And then Abamelech and Philco, the commander of the army, wanted to make sure that there was an oath, a promise that could be kept that said,
I can see the blessing on you, the blessing of God in all you do. So please don't mess with me.
And don't mess with my children or my children's children.
Like can we live in this land of peace? Because I know you have the blessing even though they have the army.
And he's the king. He's asking Abraham for peace.
So that was huge.
And then we talked about these binding agreements, but we also talked about the well of oath and then the tamaris tree.
So before I go on into chapter 22, someone asked me a question. How do I know if I planted a tamaris tree?
Well, if you planted tree, you do have to water it, right?
You have to make sure it's got what it needs. You have to check on it. It's a brand new tree.
I popped one on the ground this last summer.
I popped two in the ground, apple trees, and one made it and the other didn't.
But was out there checking on it all the time? No. I was like, God be with you.
And so you do need to culture it. You need to watch over it, or there's a chance that it will die.
It's the same thing with relational things.
If tamaris means new beginnings, that means they settled with an oath and a covenant and made an agreement
that this is the sign that that happened. Now there's a new beginning.
That means we don't get to go back and argue about the well, right?
Because that's already... we already have a promise regarding that.
We don't get to go back and say, are you picking on me or whatever?
No, we already settled it. There's an oath. He swore to it.
So it's the same thing if you've got something that's been unsettled in your marriage
or unsettled in relatives or whatever it is.
And you think you kissed and made up.
And then next week you're bringing up the same stuff over and over.
And it's like, see, I don't trust you with the well thing.
You know, it's like that. And you know, when there's a covenant, you've made an agreement
and you make a choice to hold your side of that covenant.
And you have to trust that they're going to hold their side.
You can't get in there and dabble. You can't change that other person, right?
You just got to hold your side of the deal.
And so that's what he did.
So the timorous, the questions that came in was like, how do I know that it's...
that I know that it's settled?
Well, just because you settled something doesn't mean, you know, like emotions don't come up about it.
Or, you know, well, I still wonder about this or whatever.
That doesn't mean it's unsettled.
What marks it being settled is that you're still moving ahead even if you have those questions.
There's a new beginning. Beginning of what? The thing I'm into now is new.
And so I'm going to keep moving along with that.
But if you planted a tamarind tree but you keep looking back and there's no new beginning.
You say there's a new beginning, but we're not working the system that he's got you now in.
The tree don't count.
See, I like that it's a reminder.
You know, if you've had something where there was disagreements between you and another person or whatever,
and this went on for a long time and you tried to settle it.
You look out the window and you see a tamarind tree, you're like, yeah, we did settle that.
We already talked about that. We already have an agreement, so I don't need to get into it.
It's a reminder for you first.
Then it's a reminder or an announcement to everyone else.
Don't worry about this because we planted the tree. It's a new beginning.
Amen? Hopefully I didn't make that muddier, but it cleared it up.
So when you're planting your tree, you're settling it in the covenant first or in the oath first.
Then you're saying, this will be the sign of the new beginning.
And trees grow, right?
And they get bigger so everyone can see, I remember that. That's when that tree was planted.
That's when that happened. This is a sign. Don't mess with the well. All those things.
So, now we're on to chapter 22.
We just started it last week where we talked about...
Now after these things, God tested the faith and commitment of Abraham and said to him,
Abraham, and he answered, here I am. I'm just going to bring it up again so it's welded into us.
Now after these things, remember I said that counts?
That's not just filler words. And in my Bible and the Amplified, now after is all caps.
I don't know if they have it up there, like, oh, everything's caps there.
But it says now after. And it's clarifying these things had to take place.
And then God tested the faith and commitment of Abraham.
Because the new beginnings say, I'm going to move on to the thing God called me to do.
And that marked the moment. Nothing's going to hold me back.
You know, I even lived, he lived in the Philistine area for many days.
So he lived at peace in the enemy's camp.
You know how to do that because of the oath and the promise and all that.
Now after that was settled, now he's going to be tested.
His faith and commitment will be tested now after counts.
And now after is after the Tamarist tree.
Once you say new beginnings, after you made that announcement, we better be headed somewhere new.
Even how the brain works, even how your soul works, we're faith people.
We're meant to move ahead and not stay looking, just looking at the past.
You visit the past, you put the past in order.
You unpack things that maybe you left a mess and you clean it up.
But then you plant the tree, we're moving on.
I don't have time.
Like, I don't have time to think about the stupid stuff I did in 1982.
That was a bit ago.
And there was some stupid stuff.
It made sense to me at the time, but now I look back and I'm like,
I don't even know if I want to talk about that.
My attitudes, my everything or whatever.
Thank the Lord, I don't have to live with that.
I can look back and go, yeah, that was a marking point.
But here's where the new beginning happened.
And I'm walking in the new beginning.
Amen?
Just in that one area.
And then you're planting Tamara's trees as you go.
You're like, and here's another new beginning.
I just let go of this, you know, or whatever it is.
So now after these things, God tested the faith.
That's how he's working with us.
Otherwise, he wouldn't had us deal with the spirit or the way of thinking of fear.
When COVID broke out, he wouldn't have us have to settle things on the threshing floor.
I mean, look back at the series.
We didn't know that, but when you look back, you can see the Tamara's trees.
You can see the settled things and the oaths that were made.
Look back in the sermons and you go, oh, that's right.
That was the day I made this commitment or whatever it was.
And then we moved into many things like talking about offense.
Can't be offended.
He did that.
He did all of those things to lead up to now.
Now there'll be new people that'll come to the church
and they didn't get the chance to go through this.
God will catch them up.
He'll start the process.
But the main covenant partners, especially here, we have covenant together.
He moves us as a unit.
It isn't a scattered thing that we bring together some concepts on a Sunday.
He's moving us by faith to do that next thing that we're supposed to be doing
because it's a new beginning.
So now after these things, God tested the faith and commitment of Abraham
and said to him, Abraham, we talked about that.
When your name is called, your name has your destiny tied to it.
Mary Pelt says a lot of things.
All right.
And I would hope that people aren't remembering the name Mary Pelt's for everything in 1982.
Back in there or whatever.
But that you know that when you say that, you identify.
Like I've said before, like you say the word bread,
your favorite bread will come to mind.
You might even have a little honey on it.
Butter's melting.
You know, I don't know.
But you'll get a picture in your head.
So if you say Mary Pelt's, you'll get a picture in your head.
Not everybody's picture of me is wonderful.
But you'll get a picture and it'll talk into, it'll say my destiny.
So when he answers, he says Abraham and he said, here I am.
That part is so important.
We've gone over it several times, but we have to know
that every time he calls us to something new,
every time he calls us to a different place,
every time he just wants to talk to us,
we say here I am, which means the all of me is here.
The complete of me just showed up.
In my flaws, in my imperfections,
and the best parts of me that he's renewed,
the all of me is here.
I'm showing up.
Amen.
So here I am.
This part he's looking for us to do this on a continual basis.
To get in the habit of the all of you showing up.
I've counseled people where half of them showed up.
But the half commitment, the sort of wanting to change,
kind of, we'll see.
I don't know if I'll like her.
You don't get very far in those sessions
because I'm not working harder on this problem
than you should be working.
This is your problem.
I'm just here as guidance.
And so when I, you know, when they show up,
I want the all of them there.
The nasty stuff and the good stuff.
Be as real as you can be
because real people have real success.
Okay?
And it's just a rule of thumb.
Then verse two said, God said,
Take now your son, your only son of promise.
How it says it in the amplified
is it's taking the word picture
and it's saying son, but yet,
this is your promise.
He may have given you something else in your life.
You know, it might not be your son,
but he might give something else to you
that that's where your promise is attached to.
That's where your name, your covenant name,
you know, he gave Abraham a new name
because there was a covenant made
between him and Abraham, God and Abraham.
And so here you have this going on
and then the marking point
of the outpouring of that is Isaac.
There's your promise right there.
So if it wasn't about a person,
whatever you can put in that spot,
that's your promise.
So the only son of promise
whom you love, Isaac,
and go to the region of Mariah.
We talked about last week how Mariah,
one of the main pictures of the word Mariah
is a teaching zone,
like you're in a place of learning.
So the test is about to come.
He's going to test the commitment of Abraham.
He's going to test the faith of Abraham.
And, you know, there needs to be some training before.
There needs to be some study before you take the test.
Amen.
Thank God for that.
How many of us...
I was that person that went in...
I was that person that was so messed up
that I hated SATs
and I had this attitude against it
where it was like, I don't care what my scores are.
I wanted to get in there and get out as quick as possible.
I just marked anything.
I didn't even read the questions.
So I was like, fire me if you need to.
Kind of, you know, that rebellious kind of feeling.
I had a few friends that did the same thing.
It created a whole thing,
but at the same time,
I needed to have learning and understanding
and those types of things.
Then I'm ready to take the test.
Will you know all and see all and everything?
No, you won't.
But we need to be and know enough to be dangerous, at least.
Right?
Know enough to be able to relate in the situation.
We need to go to the place of Mariah.
We need to go to the place of learning.
And he said, go to the region of Mariah.
I like that because then I can go to conferences all over.
In the region.
I'm just taking that literal.
And offer him as a burnt offering
on one of the mountains,
of which I shall tell you.
And we've heard that phrase before
and we'll hear it again.
It's the place where I shall tell you.
Being obedient
is also part of seeing God
in a way that I don't do nothing
unless he tells me to.
I'm talking about major things.
I'm talking about, well, if he told me
I couldn't ride my motorcycle today
then I can't ride my motorcycle today.
I might not even know why.
But he told me that, so I'm just not going to do it.
Or he'll tell you what to do
and you go do that.
But definitely for destiny things,
Abraham, Isaac, destiny,
his name, father of many nations.
For destiny things,
we better find out
what he is telling us.
And part of that we'll do
in the learning.
Part of that we've been doing this whole time
since Word of Life started.
How do you hear the voice of God?
Then we have helper ministries
like Jim's Ministry
that hone that in a little bit better.
How do you hear from him?
But once you hear from him,
then you do the thing he told you to do.
That's the motion that
a lot of people just, they drop off at that point.
Well, if we drop off at that point,
we're not really going to finish out the test.
And we need our hearts tested
when it comes to faith and commitment.
No, I got it, God.
I mean, no, seriously, you told me to do it, I'll go do it.
I don't need to run through a test.
Ha!
You don't know yourself.
There's times that I've said,
yes, Lord, send me.
And then he sends me and I'm like,
what are we doing, God?
I don't even know if I want to do this.
But he said, and I still got to go.
So, it's best if we get the training.
It's best if we're listening.
And then we respond,
going to the higher places on one of the mountains
of which I shall tell you.
He hasn't even told him yet.
He says, there's going to be a mountain.
And I'll tell you where it's going to be.
Just get ready.
Because you love when you don't have information.
He tells you certain things, but you don't...
He said, could you give me more detail?
I would really like that.
No, it's going to be one of the mountains.
But it'll be the one that I shall tell you.
Get some training, get some learning and move on.
These are all attitude stuff
that God is saying to word of life,
we have to know how to do this.
We have to know how to navigate through this.
So Abraham got up early in the morning,
saddled his donkey,
and took two of his young men with him
or other versions say, servants,
with him and his son Isaac.
And he split the wood for the burnt offering.
And then he got up and went to the place
of which God had told him.
He's going to the place that God had told him.
But there's a preparation even in that.
In this last year,
people have asked me so many questions.
I've had people just all over the region
will ask me questions about
how to get in the ministry,
how to get moving in their destiny.
And the details do count.
You know, even him going up,
he's got to get to Mariah.
He's got to be in the region of learning.
Then he's got to prepare
to be on the right mountain.
Then he's got to prepare what he's taking with.
There's an idea.
It's very immature.
And a lot of the questions have come in.
It's lack of knowledge.
It's a projection of like,
you're called, the anointing is great on you,
and you step into this thing that God has you to do.
Just like, we just arrive.
It's like, I never got that opportunity
to just arrive at anything.
How come you guys are getting out of it?
That's why I want to ask the person,
how do you think you're getting out of this?
I never got out of it.
There's a work that has to be done.
There's things that have...
We got to go chop some wood.
Get ready for this sacrifice.
We've got to saddle the donkey,
which in dream language is like your ministry.
We got to get this thing ready.
And the two young men or servants that came with them,
or people that are going to help pull this task off,
just like in a church,
you have people that come with the leadership.
He split the wood for the burnt off,
and then he got up and went to the place
which God had told him.
On the third day of travel,
Abraham looked up and saw the place in the distance.
So that's a type, you know,
of Jesus dying and being raised from the dead.
The third day counts for something here.
And Abraham said to his servants,
settle down and stay here with the donkey.
Stay here with the ministry.
Stay here and just watch over everything.
The young man and I will go over there and worship God.
And we will come back to you.
So he knew that Isaac is the promise.
But part of a phrase here is the end of verse 2,
when it says go to the region of Moriah
and offer him there.
Offer him there.
The first thing that we think is what happened with Isaac
is he was taken up the hill
and he was supposed to be killing him, right?
Well, because he's a human being,
how else do you offer him to God?
How often do you take the promise
and you're saying, I'm going to sacrifice it,
also means I'm offering the whole thing back to you.
Here you go. Take the whole thing.
So let's say your promise is something different.
It's not a human.
Your promise is something in your ministry
or something like that.
You don't even have a way like just to back off of it.
I suppose you could kill it that way or whatever.
But you're bringing it as an offering.
You're bringing it to offer it back to him.
Child dedication is very much like that.
You have promised me this child.
We receive it and now I give the baby back to you.
We'll steward the baby, but he's yours.
Right?
There's an offering.
So sometimes we get hung on the fact that, you know,
I don't know if I could kill my son
and all the stuff that happened in this story.
It's not just about a person
and your promise of your destiny,
your promise of how you're made of,
the thing that you would be bringing there.
You're literally saying,
let's say that you went to school for something,
that you thought you were going to be in a certain zone
or whatever, and God called you to something different.
But later he wants to include that,
but you don't know that.
And he's like, I want you to do this right now or whatever.
You have to bring that thing as an offering.
Like, I offered this over to you.
I'm giving it back to you.
I thought you gave it to me in this,
what we're supposed to be doing.
I'm offering this back to you.
You have the heart that none of this belongs to me anyway.
I'm a steward.
None of this belongs to me anyway.
And the things I've given back to God,
ooh, it hurt.
You know, and then I learned,
there's almost always a ram
that he replaces it with,
or it takes me down an avenue
that I think, well, that thing is so dead.
Ten years later,
that's the thing that helps me in a certain area.
And that's why he told me to get that education.
Or whatever it is.
But there's this ten years space in between.
I didn't see that.
But I gave it back to him.
And then he said, here's how I want to use you in this.
Right?
Truly, truly, here it is.
I'm making a way for you.
And so there's something to that in that attitude
when we're bringing things.
We're bringing our destiny.
We're bringing it before him.
And literally saying,
let's say my destiny,
offer the whole thing to him.
Here you go.
I'm giving it back to you.
You do with it what you want to do.
Rearrange me, do whatever.
But I know you're supplying
because you promised this to me.
But if certain parts of it don't come back to me,
they don't come back to me.
You want to use them later?
Use them later.
But my attitude is
I'm offering this over to you.
Because if we don't have that attitude,
then we thought it was ours the whole time.
We thought we produced it.
Hard to do that,
not think that when you have a kid.
It's like, actually it came out of my body,
so I produced it.
But when you give it back to God,
it's like this child never belonged to me to begin with.
You're the creator. You're the one
made him grow in my stomach.
And the whole process gave me the right to do this.
You're the one.
What it is, is a sign of giving
everything back is really the ultimate honor.
It's the ultimate like it's all about you.
I'm not going to the wrong mountain
because I'm going to the one you shall tell me.
I'm not going to step out and do this or that
unless you shall tell me.
I offer even the promise,
the very precious thing
that my whole life is built around.
The name Abraham is built around.
I'm giving it back to you.
The attitude of the heart is it's all yours.
It was yours to begin with.
You're the beginning and it'll be yours in the end.
And all glory will go to you.
Oh man.
He's bringing us toward that kind of thinking.
In the last days especially,
we've been in the last days for a bit.
It was the last days when I was born.
Days, right?
But at the same time,
we're getting closer and closer.
Things are getting hotter and hotter.
And this is a required attitude
for sure for what's coming.
We have to be at any time
willing to just offer it up.
Whatever it is he's asking.
Here you go.
Our finances, our time,
our emotional state.
I'll set me to the side and put more emotions for this person.
I will offer this to you
in the place that you shall tell me.
This is what he's after.
You can't do that on your own even on your best day.
Even on your best day.
Sometimes I have those days where I feel like this good day.
Like you're at your best.
And your best is so lame compared to him.
But it's one of those things where
we're giving it all over to him.
And then once you've given it to him,
what he gives us back,
how he wants to operate that or whatever.
We gave him all control.
We gave him all honor.
We gave him everything
that was promised to us.
Because he will take a promise many times and we regulate it.
Well, this is how it's going to go.
You know, I'm going to have a house like this
and I'm going to, and I'm going to, and I'm going to.
We forgot to ask him.
He's the one who gave us the promise.
But when you have to head up the mountain
and make it an offering to him,
really what you're saying is
anything you want, yours.
Anything.
The promise.
The one I love.
The thing I love.
The thing that's built into me
and was built into me in my mother's womb.
I'm willing to give it all.
See it?
We can only truly see that spiritually.
And saying it to your frontal lobes
will register as behavioral modification.
So, that's a good idea.
We should do that.
Right?
And it's, and whatever we do,
it'll modify our behavior.
No?
This is a heart change.
This is a heart change.
And when we've gone through something tough
we think we have given it all.
Sometimes we've gone through tough stuff
and suffered.
But we didn't give everything over to him.
We just suffered.
It was tough stuff.
For real.
Yeah, I acknowledge.
Things hurt.
Tears come.
But I'm talking about
giving over that the ultimate
honor is yours.
And I'll even help you.
I'm bringing the wood.
I'm bringing the fire.
I'll get this thing ready.
I'll have the servants come.
I bring the special knife to do this.
I'm gonna do all the works part of it
because I know I'm bringing
to give it all over to you.
And a big part of the test is your will.
That's why when you make a commitment
you say I will to do something
or I will not.
The offering affects our will.
The offering test is about our will.
You know where we'll say I would do this
or I will do this but I won't do that.
And God's like actually I want it all.
I want the all of your promise.
I want the all of what your name stands for.
I want it all.
And you're gonna prepare to make sure that happens.
You're gonna gather the wood.
You're gonna bring the fire.
You're gonna set it all up
because that's part of the test.
And you're gonna go to the place
I will tell you.
It's gonna take some training to do that.
It's gonna take some training but
part of our will is not
learn, learn, learn, learn, learn, learn.
Okay.
But then I will is a gear shifter in your brain.
It's literally where you say
well we just shifted.
Right.
And that means you're gonna be in motion of.
That means faith is alive
and you're sure about this.
But you're giving it all over to him
and you're shifting.
There's movement toward where we're going.
We don't get stuck in debating about this.
We're headed towards the mountain
that he shall tell us.
I don't know when that's going to
take place.
There's a whole journey that comes before that
but spiritually over this church
there's a place he's taking us to
in the spirit.
That's gotta be the one he says.
How he says it.
And on the way we're carrying everything
to give him everything we are.
Give it back to him.
That's the test of the heart
that we're in right now.
Let's stand.
Hallelujah.
Praise you.
Praise you Jesus.
For some of you it's going to take
even though it's watching online
or that aren't here this morning
but watch this later
it's going to take God
to even just help you plant the tamarind tree.
Even if you made the oath and you made
the covenant and that was painful
and why do I have to do this and whatever
it's going to take a lot to plant
that tree and watch over it.
It's going to take a changed heart.
But if that part of the heart doesn't change
you won't have what it takes
to go to the mountain he tells you.
We have to do this first part
and complete it.
It'll always be work in progress
but I'm talking about the big chunks of it
complete settling things in your life
because then he's going to say
now after these things
now after that your story will say
now after these things that they settled
they're headed up to the mountain
I'm telling them to go to
and they're bringing the sacrifice.
Father we praise you.
We praise you Lord God we thank you
let's have the band come just get in position
we thank you Lord God for
insight and wisdom
these concepts have to go past
our frontal lobes and to the heart
they have to
come past that there has to be
training and teaching
even on repentance and even on
what is a sacrifice
and how do I prepare the wood
all of those different things
we're going to need to research
we're going to need to be at Mariah
Yeah, for a little bit here. And take everything we already know. Take everything that we've already learned and bring it to that place till we head to the mountain, he says. Jesus.
The fear of the Lord that goes with this is at any time any of us can just opt out of participating.
It isn't that the church will make this happen. Your individual destiny tied into the faith of moving ahead will make this happen.
Whether you're here or you're not, he's still going to require a tree. He's still going to require things to be settled.
He's still going to call your name and you have to show up the all of you. And then when all of you is standing there, he gives you the next instructions.
And now, after all these things, here comes the test. It's the test of the heart that divides good from evil.
It's the test of the heart that makes pure motives come out and the dross that needs to be drained out, just leave. It's the test of the heart.
What's exciting about this is he doesn't do that unless something super naturally, super big is coming.
When he is requiring the all of you, it's not for some little piddly thing. It's for something big. We're moving into the time of revival.
Thank you, Lord Jesus. Let's pray in the spirit for a little bit here.
Somebody here and some peoples have been asked to create something new. It's been stirring in your heart. It's been stirring. You might be online. You might be here.
It's more than one person. There's something that's coming up and it's something you haven't seen role model before or done before.
It's a new idea. It's a new thing that you know you can reach people. For Christ, you can help benefit families through this.
Creative, creative, creative ideas. Go to the place of Mariah, the place of teaching. Go to the right mountain.
Let it be birthed in you and then bring it as a sacrifice. He'll show the way. He'll show you where the ram is.
There's someone here this morning that has gone through your mind like, wow, these people are really serious.
Maybe you've only come a few times or whatever or you're watching online. They're very serious. You don't need to be that serious about the things of God.
I'm going to say something right to the camera. I'm going to say something very bold.
I would go to God and check your heart. I would go to God and check your heart of the importance that you believe.
How important is he to you? Where are you at with him? Because to even have that thought makes me question salvation.
It makes me question knowing him. It makes me question where you're at.
He is the all in all. He is the Alpha and the Omega. He is your beginning and your end.
He is the one who has your life in his hands. He is calling you by name. He's calling you.
Be serious about it. Be serious about it. Show up with the all of you.
Life change.
If you have the thought, for those of you who have the thought, I've always wanted to.
I'm not talking about crazy stuff. I'm talking about in the area of the kingdom of God.
I've always wanted to participate in this. I've always wanted to lay hands on the sick so that they might recover.
I've always wanted to do that. That's not your thoughts.
That's a desire that God put in you while you are knit together in your mother's womb.
And he's awakening it right now. I don't know who I'm speaking to, but I'm speaking to it.
He's awakening it right now. Don't leave it in the category I always wanted to.
Go to Mariah and get your teaching. Go submit under somebody who's already doing that thing.
Get there. Get up from your depression. Get up out of anything that's holding you down.
And head toward that place of promise.
We pray in unknown tongues. It edifies our spirit. It makes us stronger to lean toward the things of the spirit and not our flesh.
There's a crossover mark that some of you are on where you've got to cross over.
You've got to come out the same old thing, doing it the same way.
You've got to step over the line and go to a different place, a new place in Him.
Je ne d'ai bré qu'est ce n'a, n'a y'a r'a m'a n'a li'a si'a li'a. Je n'a li'a ch'a r'a n'a r'a m'a si'a li'a.
Someone's watching or here that has said,
Well, I've never seen miracles.
Well, I've never seen miracles.
I think they're just all talk. I just think that doesn't happen.
You sitting in your depression, you surrounding yourself with all the dross that we were talking about.
You're surrounding yourself in that way. You're not going to see miracles.
Get up out of the thing that's holding you down.
Get up out. Use your faith to say,
I am going after the things of God. You'll see miracles.
You'll see miracles, but you need to be in motion.
When you're a victim, it makes everything else a bully.
When you're a victim, it makes cancer a bully. I'm not a victim.
Neither are you.
I don't know who that one's for either, but that's what was coming to me.
This is the day of salvation.
This is the day of salvation.
The word salvation means to take the limits off.
The limits can come off your life today.
Today, he's here right now.
It's just coming to me to address it.
It might not fit anybody here. It might be online, but I am speaking to the cycle of addiction.
And everybody many times will think heroin, cocaine, but I'm speaking to the cycle of addiction.
You can have a cycle of addiction. You're addicted to cutting yourself down.
It doesn't have to be a drug. It doesn't have to be something like that.
There is a cycle of addiction that is harassing some people.
It's harassing. It's poking the bear in you.
It's causing a throwing off. It's causing the feeling of like,
wait, I've been free from drugs. I've been free from these different things.
Then why does this cycle keep speaking to me?
I pray right now that God will give you revelation knowledge,
that you will press into the truth, to the place of Mariah, to the place of teaching.
I pray for you to be loose free from that cycle.
From the thing that is harassing you. I pray right now in Jesus' name.
Stop. Stop it. Stop it.
They are free to move on. They're free to make choices.
They're free to move into the new things you have.
They're free to plant the tamarind tree. They're free to do that.
So I want to say this, and it might seem odd if it doesn't apply to you.
I give you permission to leave the cycle.
I give you permission to walk right out of that cycle.
To divorce that cycle. To not pay attention to that cycle.
You need to know that you have permission.
As someone who has authority in the name of Jesus,
I am giving you permission to be loose free from your present spot
and walk right out the door. Abandon that cycle.
Father, I pray that they become so aware of what it is
that just hangs itself out all over.
When they look in the mirror, they'll know if it's present.
So that they can divorce the thing and be fed up with it.
Be done with it. This cycle. The way of thinking.
Stop it. In the name of Jesus.
Let's raise our hands before Him as a sign of just like, you know,
and it's by choice, but as we raise our hands before you, Lord God,
it's a sign of surrender that whatever it is you want to do today,
wherever you want to take us, wherever it's your mountain,
whatever you tell us to do, it's your thing.
Lord, we just, we surrender. This is a sign of surrender to you.
We're tired of being Lord. You be Lord.
We're tired of being in charge of our little stuff.
You're in charge. We give you all glory and honor.
Then we do just what you say to do.
You're in charge. You are Lord.
We surrender. We surrender this service to you.
This time to you. In the mighty name of Jesus.
