the Lord has done seven years of grace come on
yeah come on amen yeah well if you can shout
for Manchester United surely you can shout for
Jesus louder amen and Well, this morning it's
an absolute honor, absolute privilege to be with
you all this morning here at WavePoint. Man,
what a presence. What an atmosphere. What a moment.
What a moment to see WavePoint turn seven. Look
at what the Lord has done. Can you think back
where you were seven years ago? Can you count
all the blessings and the breakthroughs and the
answered prayers and the moments you needed God?
You came into the place and worship it was that
one song that changed everything it was that
one word that flipped everything it was that
one hello that just allowed you to believe that
he still loves it was just that one moment is
there anybody here that understands what one
moment come on man look at what the lord has
done i remember what the lord has done amen and
so i pray today that you would never forget and
that you and i would never forget what the lord
has done well i want to honor my friend and his
beautiful family pastor cj In his absence and
I want to celebrate what God has done in your
lives I want to celebrate. Oh, I feel the anointing
When I do that, I'm about to cry but so I'll
just quench it up real quickly And We celebrate
because I remember there was a day that I met
CJ in Cape Town And what many of you might not
know Was that what that moment was a transition
moment? It was a moment. He was walking and we
were talking and he was telling me about the
things that god has said to him and he had said
to me be but nobody believes a vision or a word
he said but be i'm going to jay bay it's because
i heard god i'm going to jay bay man i thank
god he came to jay bay man i thank god he came
Because if he didn't come they wouldn't have
been a wave point and I would not have seen all
your beautiful faces in different colors sizes
and shapes But look at what the Lord has done
and that's why I Got a bit emotional because
I remember what he was carrying When you carry
a word from God and you just got your wife and
your two kids and they were young They were young
they were Eight or nine or day round when he
spoke to me Ten how old you now? Yeah? 19 how
about Could it be about ten years ago? We walked
at Century City And he he just had a word and
I want to say this to you Celebrate your pastors
They are selfless They are Hear me They're not
even for gain for the applause and So I want
to honor you guys want to celebrate seven years.
I trust that God will give me and allow us to
experience that grace To experience seven years
in the ministry. Amen. Love you guys. Love you,
Amber Sometimes we must be sensitive enough to
the present. Oh man. Look at somebody next to
you, tell them there's something so divine in
you. Tell that neighbor of yours, say there's
something so divine in you. And so this morning
it's an honor to be here. Seven years. Seven
years, this is not just time passed. It's faith
proven. That is obedience sustained, it is seed
sowed in seasons seen and unseen. For all of
you who've been here, you've come now recently
or you've been here for four years or three years,
you're part of the story. And God saw it fit
not to exclude you and your family. God saw it
fit not to have you left out. But for you to
be a part of what God is about to do in this
city and in possibly every coastal town Because
I know that God is about to release away from
Jeffrey's Bay And I'm not here to say that the
tide is rising no I've titled the sermon the
tide has risen And so seven speaks of completion,
seven speaks of maturity, seven speaks of cycles
fulfilled, a new season initiated. The interesting
thing I love about Jesus is that it doesn't matter
where you came in, you still get to partake.
It doesn't matter if you were here at year one,
or you came in year seven, or you came in here
today. That seven years of completion is still
your portion as well. You say, prove it to me
in the word of God, there was a... There was
a parable that Jesus told about workers that
started early and workers that started late.
And they got paid the same wages as the worker
that started early. And it wasn't about when
you started, it was about your yes. It was about
that you were willing enough to say yes to Jesus.
And so here's what I want to say to you, that
the seven years, it's not a wave point thing,
it's a your thing. You need to hear what I'm
saying. Because wave point is not the building.
Wave point is not the name, wave point is the
people. My God, you need to hear me for a moment.
In other words, this wave that we are talking
about is not a wave that's coming from the ocean.
I know you have the best waves for all the best
surfers in the world, but I'm not speaking about
that wave, I'm speaking about a God wave. And
here's the crazy thing, that when that wave breaks,
it's going to break because of you. And so so
easily we can think wave point is a thing a name
or building no You've been Pulled from different
walks of life in different places and come and
put together so that they can be enough force
my god That has caused the tide to rise The other
day I took a run while I was taking a run Saw
I don't know. I don't even know if he's in this
church. Maybe easy. I don't know I don't know
who he's I don't know what he looks like I just
saw his bucky door open and I saw this is how
I fight my battles at 6 30 a .m. In the morning,
but he worshipping the Lord at that ocean at
that beach over there and I Immediately, I thought
wow God You're telling me revival is already
here Are you didn't hear it? I said revival is
already here And so today we're not celebrating
what has been. We are standing at the threshold
of what is now. I'll say it again. We are not
celebrating what has been. We are standing at
the threshold of what is now. Look at your neighbor
and say what is now. And so if you will go with
me to Ezekiel 47 verse 3 to verse 5. I want to
show you something real quickly. This is Ezekiel
and he sees a vision coming from the throne room
of God and there's a river flowing. And when
the man went out and I first have to do this,
I have my beautiful wife with me, my God, oh
Jesus. I just rebuked myself real quickly. Can
you please celebrate my beautiful wife over here?
And this is my newborn baby, Asher Jude. And
this is my eldest son, Zach. And my youngest
one is running around owning the space. Amen.
And don't show him your keys, he'll say, let's
go. Amen. And so I have the privilege of having
them with me in ministry. And I don't want to
overlook that moment because it takes families
to build what God wants in the earth. Amen. And
so thank you my love for coming with me and bringing
Asher with me. Both my sons were calm. My eldest
two, this one is Jesus. I need a lot of grace.
He's sleeping now. We praise the Lord. Amen.
And so this is Ezekiel and he sees a vision of
a river flowing from the throne. Look what he
says, and when the man went out to the east,
the line in his hand, with a line in his hand,
he measured 1 ,000 cubits and he brought me through
the waters. The water came up to my ankles. If
you go to the next verse for me, I'll show you
something. Again he measured 1 ,000 and brought
me through the waters and the water came up to
the knees and he measured 1 ,000 and brought
me through. The water came up to my waist, if
you can go to the next verse for me. Again he
measured 1 ,000 and it was a river that I could
not cross. For the water was too deep, water
in which one must swim. A river that could not
be crossed. I've titled the sermon, the tide
is risen. Present tense, not its coming. It already
has. You see, interestingly enough, it starts
with the ankles and then it rises to the waist.
To the knees and then it rises to the waist.
Until it becomes a river he cannot control. And
here's what struck me, it didn't all arrive at
once. It increased over time. You see, ankle
deep, knee deep, waist deep, then the river that
carries you. This is not just a river, this is
a tide that has risen. You see, Ezekiel saw prophetically
what Acts chapter 2, verse 17. shows us and it
shall come to pass in the last day says God that
I will pour out my spirit on all flesh you see
this is not just a moment here seven years is
not just a moment where you are today and the
Sunday is not just a moment I want to draw your
attention that this is not just a moment this
is not just an event and this is not just a Sunday
service that this moment right now is the beginning
of a movement I want you to hear and if you can
document with all I'm gonna do is just release
prophetically this morning that this moment is
the beginning of a movement and this is what
this signifies the tide is risen the spirit has
been poured out and he's still being poured out
and the river is flowing I want you to understand
that this is what God is doing in the season
and if you can catch it and you can discern it
and you can grab a hold of it and mix it with
faith, you'll begin to experience what God has
in store for you. You see, here's what we must
understand this morning. That just because the
river is flowing doesn't mean that everyone is
in it. Just because the tide is risen does not
mean that everyone has stepped into it yet. So
while that yet is still present that means there
is still time for you to Maximize the season
and maximize the moment and not just see the
number seven, but actually say God What are you
doing today now in my life? What are you saying
to me today? And now for me to step into it You
see in the seventh year In the seventh year now
when we look at the book of acts we We see the
effect of the outpouring. Acts 2 .17 shows us
that there is an outpouring. But Acts 2 .43 shows
us the effects of the outpouring. And this is
what I want to speak to us about today. I said
all of that to say mostly what I'm about to say
now. If you go with me to Acts 2 .43. Then fear
came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs
were done through the apostles. Now, that word
fear over there, the original interpretation
is awe. That word says that an awe came upon
them. An awe came upon every soul and many wonders
and signs were done. Notice the order. The outpouring.
The awe. and then the wonders. I don't know who
of you here need to see some wonders in your
life, who's trusting God for some signs in your
life. But in order for those signs and those
wonders to break out, there is a prerequisite.
That prerequisite is not just coming to church.
That prerequisite is not standing at the back
and maybe not enjoying your favorite song. That
prerequisite in order for there to be signs and
wonders Look what the prerequisite is there has
to be all Which means if always absent you will
misinterpret the outpouring See when we speak
about all filled wonder and we Want to maximize
the season you can't maximize the season with
the strategy You can't maximize the season through
a system. You can only maximize the season through
this one thing. And I believe that this is the
word for wave point, through all -filled wonder.
Can I ask a question today in the room? When
last did you come into the presence and you were
just wow? When last did you look in the mirror
at yourself and just be like wow? When last did
you look at your family and just be like When
lost were you in awe of what God was doing in
your life? You see the tide is risen not has
risen not will rise not it's about to rise the
tide is risen In other words you are in a move
of God right now In other words the presence
of God is flowing through Jeffrey's Bay and it's
moving in your life Right now whether you feel
it or whether you don't Are you heading for it?
Which means the shift has already occurred. I'm
gonna preach to somebody. The breakthrough has
already been done. Oh my God. The movement has
already started in your life. The thing you were
trusting God for has already been completed in
your life. Watch. The unseen has already turned.
Heaven has already aligned. What this purpose
require what the season requires can I said again
heaven has already aligned? Everything you need
for the my god In other words heaven has already
set it in motion Heaven's not waiting for your
permission to set something in motion. The tide
is risen because He is risen. The Spirit has
been poured out and it is still being poured
out. In other words, He has already completed
it, but you've got to step into it, but you can't
step into it if there is not all -filled wonder.
Man, I want you to hear me for a moment. Love
you're gonna keep my time because I want to finish
the whole word in time So I don't want to make
too much jokes Because You see heaven has already
aligned what was purpose for the season for this
house it has already aligned what has been purpose
for your life and So if you're not yet married
and he's sitting next to you. Don't worry. It's
coming And if you're trusting God for husband,
don't worry. He's also coming Because heaven
has already aligned. Some sisters were too scared
to say amen. Heaven has already provided for
you. Are you ready? Watch. Ecclesiastes 3 verse
1 to everything there is a season and a time
for every purpose under heaven. This is not merely
a new moment. This is the completion of a cycle.
I must say it again. That depression, those thoughts.
That were holding you bound that internal conflict
the number seven prophetic league means that
this is the end of that cycle and It is the consecration
of the next This is alignment for what must flow
now Seven alignment for what must flow now watch
because the seventh day was about inactivity
was not about inactivity it was about completion.
God rested not because he was tired but because
the work was finished and the system was set
in motion. What would you do if I told you right
now that at the seventh birthday in this moment
that whatever you need in your life it is already
done by God. In other words, I'm not gonna walk
around with worry and fear and anxiety Because
it is already completed You see the foundation
has been laid now the flow begins when the when
a tide rises no one sees it at first It shifts
beneath the surface before it manifests on the
shoreline I Went for fun the other day And as
I do, I sometimes speak to people. I saw the
most amazing sight the night before when I got
to Jay Bay. I saw a whole lot of fishing boats
on the water with their lights on, and I was
intrigued. So I stopped and I asked the fisherman,
what's going on? And he said to me, they're catching
choca. I thought it was somebody's name first.
I didn't understand what... I didn't know what
choca was. I said, what is chokha? He said to
me, it is squid. I said, how is it that they
all out at the same time? And he said to me,
they know the times. They know the times of the
ocean. I said, but why is the lights on? He said,
because the light draws the squid to the surface.
And immediately the Holy Spirit began to speak
to me and say to me, That how is it that we understand
the times of the natural but we can't discern
moments in the Spirit? And these men they understood
the times of the sea. They have the ability when
the moment has arrived they seized it. Did you
know that in this walk of faith you've got to
walk sensitive? Did you know that in this walk
of faith You can't be willy -nilly. You actually
have to be communicating with God all the time.
What are you saying here right now? What are
you doing here right now? How does these seven
years speak to my life? The DJ said in the first
service, it will be seven years of abundance.
Did you know that I'm not part of WavePoint,
but I took the seven years of abundance? I am
part of WavePoint. But I took it. Why? Because
it was a word. and i mixed that word with faith
and said the seven years of abundance is mine
because i'm sensitive enough to discern there's
something happening in the moment josh gets up
here early and he says something's about to shift
and what sounds like a word can you discern the
moment because moments will creep up on you and
if you don't see the moment you might just miss
the greatest opportunity in your life So watch
And this is the weight of this moment The tide
is no longer coming the tide is risen This is
the weight of the moment But we carry a responsibility
Not God The next move is not God's move the next
move is your move the tide has risen he has shifted
it he has brought the harvest to the surface
but the next move is your and my move and I know
for some of us might be difficult because we
want God to do all of the stuff sometimes I mean
I'm like that sometimes like why can't you just
do it but we have a responsibility to perceive
it to align with it and to step into it. And
the only way we do that is if we rightfully understand
what follows an outpouring. The way you align
with the season, and let me speak into that for
a moment, the way you and I align in the season
is not to lose your awe. Not to lose your awe
of what God is doing in Jeffrey's Bay. Not to
wait for somebody to come from outside and say,
oh my word, it's amazing what God is doing, but
you just sitting here like, oh, this is normal.
Because one of the ways you lose your awe is
by calling divine moments normal moments. And
so what awe does, awe allows us to look at the
moments through an accurate lens. I want to speak
to you for a moment to all of those of you that
wear to all those of you that wear bifocals and
you wear lenses that have prescription. You understand
exactly What a lens can do and cannot do and
if you have the ink the wrong ends You know how
difficult it will be for you to navigate through
life And so years what I want to drop to you
today that the lens through which you view these
moments have to be all In other words, it has
to be moments of wow It has to be moments when
you look at your spouse and if you don't not
enjoying your marriage right now You actually
have to get back to the place of all Oh my God,
your amen sounds unsaved. In other words, if
you're not enjoying something right now, a relationship
that you're in right now, maybe you gotta change
the lens. If you're not enjoying the church right
now, maybe it's not the church, maybe it's the
lens. I wanna show you something for a moment
because the lens determines everything, right?
And so watch. What it says, everything we're
talking about today comes down to a lens and
alignment. But whether you recognize it depends
on the lens. And whether you step into it depends
on the alignment. The tide is risen. But you
cannot step into alignment without the right
lens. You can be in the right moment and still
see it as wrong. You can be in the middle of
what God is doing and still stand outside of
it. Because God can be moving my God God can
be moving and your lens can be misaligned The
interesting thing it says that in X 12 X 2 12
13 it says and Some were amazed and perplexed
saying what does this mean others mocked and
said they are full of new wine Stay with me for
a moment same moment same outpouring same spirit,
but two completely different interpretations
I can come from Cape Town and stand in your church
and say, wow! I met the most amazing people and
you can be in the church and say, is there anything
new that's about to come out? Some saw the move
of God, others saw confusion. Some leaned in,
some dismissed it. Can I ask you a question?
Where are you? What do you see? Just a good church
for me to come to until... The grass gets greener
on the other side. Sorry, I don't want to offend
you, but I must say it. Is this a passing through
moment or is this the moment? You see, everything
comes down to can I discern the moment? It's
not whether the church has space for me, it's
whether I can see myself in the church. Oh my
God, I'm going to preach to you quickly. In other
words, The way I see things determines what I
receive from it Perception does determine the
reception now you didn't hear me I said again
Perception determines the reception based on
how you perceive me determines what you receive
from me That's just what it is You can't change
it. You can't alter it because the lens does
matter Same environment different lens and here
is the weight the difference between between
those who stepped into it and those who stood
Outside of it was not proximity. It was alignment
Because you can be close and still out of it
I Run a church back home and I say to some of
my team I say to them you can be next to me and
still not know where the movies And so watch,
we must define the lens. Let's talk about this
lens quickly. How many minutes do I have left,
Nance? How much? 10? 15? Jesus. Because you're
coming back tonight. And the reason you're going
to have to come back tonight is if you don't
want to come back tonight, you're going to lay
there and say, I'm missing a moment. That pastor
spoke about discerning a moment. Unfortunately
you're going to hear my voice because I am rememberable.
It's my own word, don't worry. Right, so watch.
And so this lens is called awe. Awful wonder,
that is the lens. Bible says, and awe came upon
them and signs and wonders followed. There can
be no sign and wonder if there's no awe towards
God. He is not moved by our By our anxiety or
through our anxiety. He's not moved by our tears
Guess what he is moved by faith and faith is
translated into all Because faith looks at God
and says God Wow Or fold wonder whatever you
do don't miss the moment There are moments that
will come in your life and my life and it will
not come again There are moments that might come
again, but there are certain moments of destiny
that will never come again. The Israelites journeyed
for 40 years. The next time their breakthrough
came was 40 years later. They came to the promised
land. Some theologian says they got there in
11 days. They saw the promise. When I was in
Egypt, I saw the distance. They got there in
11 days. but could not discern the moment and
it took them 40 years. I pray that that doesn't
happen to any of us. I pray that we will be able
to discern moments of destiny with God. Watch.
Not first signs, not wonders first, all came
first. All is not the reaction to power, all
is what allows you to recognize power. All is
the lens that says this is not normal, God is
in it. You don't step into what you don't recognize.
Can I say it again? You don't step into what
you don't recognize. The move of God can be going,
but you have to step into it. And the only way
we do that is through awe. The tide can be risen,
but if awe is absent, you will stand on the shore
and call it normal. You will sit in the room
and call it routine. You will hear God moving
and call it familiar. Awe is a holy awareness,
a deep reverence. a spiritual sensitivity, a
refusal to reduce God to something common. It
is an internal posture that refuses to say, I've
been, I've seen this before, I've been here before.
No, it's the ability to say, God, you are doing
something new. All is where true perception.
begins without all you don't just lack emotion
you lack accuracy always when you encounter God
and your only response is wow can I ask you a
question when last did you have a wow God moment
when last did you wake up and say wow God when
last did you look at your home and your family
and say wow It's as if nothing shifted but everything
shifted because of awe. Awe is when you encounter
God and your only response is no explanation.
Your response is not analysis, your response
is not logic, your response is wonder. Awe is
when the word lands deeper than information.
Always when his presence becomes unexplainable
when his movement silences your inner world When
you walk and you know God you in this thing Always
the moment your mind runs out of explanation
and your spirit takes over in reverence Or is
coming into his presence and saying wow or is
experiencing his grace and saying wow Always
when you read the scripture and it goes wow I'm
not speaking about church and I'm not speaking
about religious duty I'm speaking about a moment
when you're so sensitive to God that even in
that song that was being sung that you can be
shifted If I was a singer I would sing but For
the sake of your well -being I will not sing
But there's a line in that song that I'm gonna
get a tattoo about I'm standing over there now.
I must tell my wife. I'm gonna get a tattoo first
She's not looking at me it means there's no agreement,
but there's a song that in that song it says
my whole life my days tell a story let it be
of you only everything for the honor of your
name my whole life for your glory my whole world
for you only everything for the honor of if my
days tell a story let it be of you only everything
for the honor of my name my whole life for your
glory my whole world for you only everything
for the honor of your name Now right there, that
moment. That's all. That's all. All is not because
you gave me a breakthrough. All is because of
who you are. Or it's not because you've been
good to me always because of who you are Or it's
not because you opened up a door always just
because I beheld you And to step into the sky
to step into what God is doing you and I have
to have all See Psalm 33 8 says let stay with
me dear about you so blessed let all the earth
fear the Lord that all the inhabitants stand
in all of him All is the key that unlocks everything
I Need you to understand that all is the thing
That flips everything in your life upside down
always the thing that when there's an impossible
Moment that because you can behold His Majesty
it flips it Oh Oh Watch as I close always when
your inner man says this is God While I was busy
preparing this word how saying God may I never
lose my all Because you can be a Christian and
lose it You can do church and lose it But he
is to be beheld he is to be admired Because he
is not a man that he should lie and all the son
of man that he should repent we are speaking
about the god of all the universe the one who
put all of it together the one who gave you everything
that you have right now and you might not have
everything that you have that you want right
now but what he has given you my god he's still
being good it's all all changes everything If
ever you want to experience revival in your life,
put a worship song on and begin to worship and
begin to see Him, you'll be revived. If ever
you want to come awake, see Him for who He is
and I tell you to amazmerize you and I want to
say this to you, it's not duty. It's sensitivity
to the moment that what would you do if I told
you seven years right now? We are in a moment.
I'm saying Wow God You look at these young people
in this church oh When I look at some of you
some of you should be in bars Huh, you look the
part You should be drowning in your red bottle
of wines. Alcoholic, not knowing whether you're
coming or going, but when you see what God has
done, how can we not say, wow, God? Wow! How
can you not say, look at God? Look, some of you
were praying for your husbands to get born again,
now they're born again and on fire. That's the
moment you say, wow, God. That's the power. somebody
asked me one day how what has kept your fire
burning in ministry i said i never lost the ore
i look for god in everything i go for a run i
look for him where are you i meet somebody i
say wow what a beautiful person it's the ore
as i land Come back tonight for the last part
Didn't know it was gonna be this long, but I'm
only now at point number two And there's five
points But somehow always got me stuck here because
maybe just maybe he wants to resurrect your all
maybe just maybe he wants to uproot the complaining
for what you don't have yet to look at what you
do have and say God if it was not for you maybe
just maybe he wants to get you to a place where
you're on your knees and saying Lord thank you
because it could have been different it shouldn't
have been me You must understand it shouldn't
have been me. I didn't qualify to be a preacher
Nothing in my life Called me to be a pre you
don't understand. I said again. It shouldn't
have been me. I Don't know if there's anybody
here that knows it shouldn't have been me pasta
Because my sins were a scarlet It shouldn't have
been me pasta because I was out there in the
world and doing some things it shouldn't be but
his grace and his mercy. His grace and mercy
said my hand will still be on you. How can you
not be in awe of a god that decides over and
over again to love us even when we are unfaithful
in our love towards him. How do we forgive me
for a moment if my Passion seems to be getting
a hold of me, but I can't stand still when I
know it shouldn't have been me. Shouldn't have
been me. One morning I woke up and my second
younger son had a hole in his heart. He was about
to go to a cardiologist and the Holy Spirit looked
at me, nudged me, touched me and said to me,
I've healed him, it shouldn't have been him.
The moment you forget, is the moment all leaves
you. Don't forget all the things that He has
done. Because it's better now than it was then.
It's better now. You're more whole than what
you once were. Don't let your makeup and lip
gloss fool you and say it's because of what I've
done. No, it's because of Jesus I Remember it
shouldn't I shouldn't have been a dad of three
Nothing in me qualifies me for it But I was handed
a gift the gift of life And it came with destiny.
Oh, never lose. Wow. When you go home in a day
and you sit at the table, I dare you, double
dare you, look at your partner or your spouse.
Wow. Don't lose. The all Holy Spirit Yes, my
baby See quiet knows the voice of his father
Can can you descend the voice of your father
this morning Can you hear what your father's
saying to you this morning? Can you hear him
say that if you want to experience the next level
if you want something about to shift You've got
to return to the all I'm being led to say this
I'll say it All leaves or can leave sometimes
through the process of development think of that
for a moment because sometimes development is
not easy sometimes development says do better
sometimes development says leave this and sometimes
we interpret development a personal injustice
against ourselves but we got a reframe what development
looks like sometimes it's just the Lord saying
there's a better version in you I want to get
out of you this version is good for where you
were but there's a different version I'm bringing
out of you watch Because every time God develops
you he confronts you every time God grows you
he stretches you Every time God speaks says if
He corrects you but scripture tells me because
he he chester chastises those he loves and If
listen to this carefully you can stay with me,
but listen to this if the moment of development
is not met with humility it will be met with
offense. And offense is the root of familiarity.
And so sometimes when development came, we take
it personal. Growth came, we resisted it. Truth
came, we pushed it away. Inning in, we pulled
back. I got a word for somebody here today. Your
pulling back season is done. He's calling you
out. And he's saying, come. You say, what do
I have to do? You don't have to say seven Hail
Mary's. You don't have to go and do a list of
things for you to come back. All you need to
do is just say, Lord, you are my savior. All
you need to do is restore the all And so I want
to say this to you today Waypoint the tide is
risen Hmm The tide is risen How do I know I'm
in familiarity the same word that once shook
you now you analyze The same presence that once
moved you now you overlook The same worship that
once broke you now you observe. The same conviction
that once changed you now you resist. The same
moments that once mocked you now you manage.
The same voice that once led you now you question.
The same hunger that once drove you now you silence.
The same God who once amazed you now you treat
as common. Familiarity doesn't remove God from
the room. It just causes you to stop seeing Him.
And so this morning, I hear in my spirit the
Lord say that it's time to come into alignment.
Say, pastor, how do I do it all? Just behold
Him. You say, is it that easy? Yes, it is. You
don't have to do anything. You don't have to
roll on the floor. You don't have to do a somersault.
If I'm speaking language like that, it's because
you know I've got three young children right
now. But there's nothing you need to do. All
you need to do is just stand and say, Lord, here
I am. Thank you for everything you've done in
my life and restore the all. And when the all
is restored, you'll see that seven years of abundance
kick in. Seven years of abundance is about to
kick in. And this morning Pastor DJ said it.
I say this over your life, seven years of abundance
is about a kick in. Yeah. Yeah. Seven years of
abundance is about a kick in. I don't know what
the seven years has been like, but I'm saying
seven years of abundance is about a kick in.
Seven years. Come stand here. It's fine. Come,
come, come, come. It's fine. You can just face
towards me. And so even right now, Father, in
the name of Jesus, lift your hands for a moment.
This certain moment, God is moving. Did you see
that? You saw it. Because there's a moment. So
right now, Father, in the name of Jesus, every
cycle, every cycle, every cycle stops today.
In the name of Jesus, but maybe the season of
divine rest May it be a seasoned God of the activation
of destiny right now Father in Jesus mighty name
We release right now that which comes with the
seven years now in Jesus mighty name The blessing
and the breakthrough that comes with it In the
name of Jesus we release it now In Jesus mighty
name Right now father somebody say amen with
her Lord's about to restore You at the back,
I don't know your name There's a restoration
I don't know if it makes sense to you. It makes
sense. You've discerned the season. It's a season
of restoration. It makes sense, Nancy? It's a
season of restoration. And so as you even dive
in deeper, swim. Swim. Even if you splash, swim.
Swim. And as you come into alignment, you will
see. And while you're beginning to swim, the
splashes become smoother. And there's a gliding
that takes place. You're about to enter into
a seamless transition in your life. Seamless.
I see it in the spirit. I see it in the spirit
that you're about to move, that you are busy
moving. In fact you're going like a Boeing that
just came it's like a torpedo that God is going
to do something in the season and you're going
to move through the waters listen of his presence
and it's going to be I'm telling man I can see
it so right now receive it in the name of Jesus
Father restore in an accelerated time in Jesus
mighty name somebody say amen So I pray this
morning family That you will discern this moment
As you'll discern today That you will discern
seven I want to say this to you This moments
won't come again Seize the moment It's interesting
Natalie at at seven years of age Apostle DJ is

about to shift, but if you can perceive it today
You can mix it with faith today You will see
what God will do You will see it we're closing
we're done we're done because he finished it
but you must come into alignment awe comes with
language awe comes with language how speaking
a parable when it restores the awe Your language
changes when the language change and the confession
of your mouth changes mountains move Mountains

restored and Allow yourself to see what God is
