Dean Braxton expressed to us that when he looked at the Lord
and he took in the greatness and the beauty
and the glory and the love,
and he's processing that in his mind for just that moment
and he looks again and he's more so.
So you have this idea of when we exalt him,
we're seeing him grow right before our eyes.
Wow.
And when we exalt him, we're empowering him
to make us grow.
God promises in Joel 2.28 to pour out his spirit
on all humanity.
Welcome to Global Outpouring,
where we contend for that promise outpouring,
we equip for that outpouring
so that we may engage in that very outpouring.
I'm Philip Bus.
And I'm Sharon Bus.
Thank you so much for joining us today.
I believe this is going to be a life-changing podcast
for you.
It certainly has been for me as I've studied this.
We want to talk about the principle
that what you exalt, you empower.
We're so glad that you've joined us today.

There's so many things on our website that you can enjoy
and we want to make sure if you haven't already done so
that you have subscribed to our email lists
because that's how we can stay in touch with you.
If other forms of communication don't work for some reason,
it could happen, it could happen,
then this is a really good way for us
to be able to stay in touch with you.
I also want to mention, we are so excited
about something that is coming up in 2025.
We are working on getting all the details in place
for convention 2025.
It's going to be our 50th annual event.
We haven't always called it convention or world convention.
We had some years of having a tent meeting instead,
camp meeting, but every year we were gathering.
And so this is going to be our 50th gathering.
It's going to be over Memorial Day weekend
starting on Wednesday night, May 21st,
and we're going through Saturday night, the 24th.
It's going to be an amazing time.
We will be in St. Louis at the St. Louis Airport,
Marriott Hotel right across from the airport.
It's just, you get on the shuttle and you're there in-
Minutes.
Minutes, like three minutes, five minutes.
I suppose it depends on traffic,
but it's really just across the highway.
So, I mean, you can see the airport from the hotel,
you can see the hotel from the airport.
It couldn't be more convenient.
So we want to encourage you.
This is our heart that this be kind of like a family camp,
that you can come with your family.
We will have nursery and we will have not just childcare,
we will have child ministry.
So your children are going to be ministered to
regardless of their age,
whether they're newborn right up into the youth.
We've got something special for them that they will,
that they will be able to be built up in their spirit,
be built up in their walk with God,
and have a real experience with Jesus personally,
get to know the Holy Spirit personally.
And we even teach the children how to minister.
It's going to be a glory time for every member of the family.
And whether you have small children
or whether you have grandchildren,
whoever it is that is important in your life,
why don't you make this an opportunity
to grow in God as a family?
This is a marvelous time.
We're really excited about it.
We hope that you'll join us.
So we'll have more information on our website soon.
It's not there yet.
This is going to be a blessing for you
and for everyone that attends.
Now, Philip and I just got back from a glorious,
glorious road trip, ministry trip.
We were in St. Louis and Bloomington, Illinois
at Pastor Tony Kemp's Supernatural Conference.
And we went up into Wisconsin.
Then we went to Chicago.
Then we went to Niagara Falls, ministered there.
We've ministering all along the way.
God opened supernatural doors to us
that we did not expect when we left home.
Yeah, it was just amazing.
It was amazing.
And God has just,
I believe that there were lives that were changed.
That's our whole desire as we are doing things for the Lord,
that people's lives are changed,
that we grow, that we get empowered,
that we get equipped so that we can participate
in what God has for us.
So we went from Niagara Falls
to the Cleveland Akron branch of our ministry.
Then we went up into Michigan
and had a glorious meeting there in Detroit
and visited some of my family members in Michigan.
And then we went to Indianapolis,
met with some of our members there
and some new folks that we hadn't ministered to before.
And then we came home.
So, wow, it was a whirlwind trip.
We were gone for almost four weeks.
And by the way, if you want to invite us to come
to wherever you live,
we are certainly open to praying about that.
Let us know if we can be a blessing to you.
We're ready to do whatever God has for us to do.
So today, we're going to be talking
about what you exalt, you empower.
So while we were at Pastor Tony Kemp's
Supernatural Conference,
Ira Milligan was ministering.
And someday I want to have him on our podcast.
We'll interview him.
He is like a wealth, a deep, deep, deep well,
full of treasures from the scripture, full of treasures.
He's walked in a revelatory kind of walk with God,
digging things out of the word.
And I really, really enjoy him.
But he said a couple of things that went into me.
Now I've wanted to walk very softly
about wanting to be a voice rather than an echo.
So I always want to be a voice and not an echo.
And you'll find me quoting people all the time
because I hear people say things
that go into me and make a difference.
I don't want to just repeat what somebody else has said
because it's really cool.
I want it to be that I have taken it in and digested it
and made it my own, made it part of me.
Like the word becomes flesh, okay?
That we apply the word.
And then out of meditation on that
or meditation on what God is saying,
sometimes these things just kind of weave in.
Well, I meditated quite a lot on those things
that Ira Milligan said.
There were two things that were particularly moving.
Impacting. Impacting, yes.
That's exactly the word.
And I took note of the fact that he went
to Hebrews chapter seven and verse seven.
And he used this scripture that says,
I'm reading out of King James,
and without all contradiction,
that means you can't refute this.
The less is blessed of the better.
And out of that, he said, what you exalt, you empower.
In other words, as we lower ourselves
and empower something higher,
whatever that higher thing is that we're empowering
is going to affect our lives.
Now it's out of the story of Melchizedek
that Abram on his way back from the battle with the kings
where he was rescuing his nephew Lot,
the story is told in Genesis 14,
but it's also kind of retold here in Hebrews seven.
But he talks about this Bible person called Melchizedek.
Now I began to study about Melchizedek
and I've heard lots of sermons about Melchizedek.
Yeah, we sure have.
Yeah, it's kind of a popular subject.
So what the Lord gave me was not
what I've heard other people say,
not to say that I've got any great thing,
but it made a difference for me, okay?
It was something that impacted my life
and I trust it will impact yours.
And that is where in Hebrews seven,
it's talking about Melchizedek being by interpretation,
this is chapter seven, verse two,
first by being interpretation king of righteousness
and after that also king of Salem, which is king of peace.
And it goes on to say without father, without mother,
without descent or pedigree,
having neither beginning of days nor end of life,
but made like unto the son of God,
abides a priest continually.
Now you hear people talking about Melchizedek
and I just want to make a couple of comments
that there are various schools of thought
about who Melchizedek was.
And one of them is, and this comes out of Judaism,
that Melchizedek was actually Shem
and that Abram went to learn from Shem
and spent time in his school and that sort of thing.
Well, they didn't read the book of Hebrews.
So while that is a lovely theory,
I don't think it could possibly hold water
because the book of Hebrews says that he is without father,
without mother, without pedigree,
neither having beginning of days nor end of life.
Well, we know Shem.
It sounds like somebody supernatural.
I'm pretty sure that,
I'm pretty sure you've got that right, Philip,
because obviously we know who Shem's father was
and we know that he had Mrs. Noah as his mother.
And if you look in the book of Jasher,
it says that Mrs. Noah was actually Enoch's daughter.
That's quite fascinating.
Yeah, it's very fascinating.
So it's, you know, we know that it's a very clean line,
clean lineage.
Anyway, we don't wanna take that bunny trail for very long.
So I have to say he's probably not Shem.
And then there are others who only looking in,
well, I don't know how they're even reading it,
but they say that he was just a Canaanite king
and that who he called the most high God
wasn't necessarily the same most high God
because he was a Canaanite,
so he must've been worshiping somebody else.
Well, that couldn't be possible either
because of this description that is in the book of Hebrews.
So I think, Philip, you have it right.
I really believe for what it's worth.
Here's my two cents worth.
This is not a doctrine,
but this is a subject of my meditations before the Lord
that because God had a plan for Jerusalem,
he sent somebody supernatural to be king over it,
to keep it as a holy place,
to start it as a holy place.
Obviously we know the Jebusites moved there,
took it over and they were Canaanites,
but that's what the devil often does
with something that God starts as something holy.
He'll send somebody unholy in to try and-
Try to defile it.
Defile it, yeah.
I mean, if you look at the city of Los Angeles,
for instance, Los Angeles, it was named for the angels.
It's a place of the angels.
And we know that God moved in mighty ways there at times,
but Hollywood sprung up there and it's unholy.
It's really unholy wood and lots of other very bad things.
So if you see something bad going on in a place,
you need to look for what God intended for that place to be
and get a vision for how to pray for that place
to loose it from the darkness and bring the light.
That's another bunny trail we won't go on.
But the thing that came to me as I was studying this,
when you see the interpretation
that the writer of Hebrews gives,
that he is the king of righteousness and the king of peace
because Salem means peace.
Well, it's true that Salem is the root word for shalom,
which means peace, but it comes from the verb shalem.
And when I dug around a little deeper in Genesis 14,
where it says that he was the king of Salem,
in Hebrew it's pronounced shalem.
So he's the king of shalem.
And shalem means whole, perfect.
It means a full and just number and measure,
like as in a just weight.
I'm reading from Gezanias that I found
in the Blue Letter Bible app.
It's also the word that is used
to refer to a complete army.
And I love this, this is really interesting.
Stones that have been untouched or unviolated by iron.
In other words, if you think back
to how God gave instructions for the temple to be built,
they were not to be touched by iron.
They were to be shaped just by stone.
So stone sharpening stone, okay?
In fact, I think they used sapphires.
I've heard that they use sapphires for polishing
to make the stone smooth,
but they were not to be touched with iron.
Wow.
And they're whole stones, in other words.
Now also the name Melchizedek, Melki.
Melki.
Melki means my king.
My king, okay.
So it's not just king of righteousness.
The tzedek part is righteousness,
but it's really my king of righteousness.
So it becomes personal.
And here is this supernatural person laying a foundation
for the city that would become the city of the great king.
And Melchizedek was a pretty great king.
He really was.
But it's for God's city.
It's his city.
And we know that there is a new Jerusalem that's coming.
So this idea of it being the place of wholeness,
my king of righteousness dwells in a place of wholeness
and perfection and completeness.
And so when we invite him to come into us,
guess what he does?
Brings righteousness.
Yeah, he brings his righteousness and he brings wholeness.
Everything, like if you remember what we talked about
a couple of episodes ago about if nobody's perfect,
why does God command it?
We covered some of this idea about being whole
and being complete and being sound
and being all of the things that God does in us
when he's at work in our lives.
So this idea of Jesus coming into us,
the Holy Spirit coming into us when we welcome him in,
when we make him Lord,
in other words, when we exalt him
into that place of lordship.
And what does lordship mean?
It means you make him your master.
You make him your master, yes.
So when we make him master,
we are coming into that place of subservience
where we submit to him
and we let him make the decisions
and we let him lead us and guide us
instead of us trying to always do it our own way.
That's the worldly way.
The world teaches you do your own thing.
Why do we always try to do it our own way?
I think that's-
Sometimes turning to God is the last thing.
Yeah, yeah.
It happens in situations where it's life and death.
Yeah, and sometimes I think God allows us
to get into those life and death situations
so that we'll finally surrender.
Yeah, it would have been easier
if we would have surrendered a lot earlier though.
Exactly, exactly.
And that's why we have to learn to walk that way
where he gets to be first all the time.
Some of the best experience is watching people
walk through theirs in similar situations
that you might be in and get a more tuned ear.
Very true, very true.
And we can learn from each other
so we don't have to go through those things.
I think that's why God put so many of the details
in the Bible of the stories
that the Bible characters went through
that he doesn't cover up their mistakes.
Yeah, that's true.
Everything is there, warts and all.
Warts.
All the stuff that they did is all there.
And then you see how God redeems it.
And you also see how there's consequences.
But the point is that there's the consequence
of exalting something, the consequence is whatever we exalt,
we empower to do something back to us.
So if we're exalting our circumstances,
whatever our circumstances might be,
whether our circumstances are financial issues,
poverty or great need or whether it's sickness
or disease or some kind of breaking,
some kind of trauma that we've been through,
if we're busy exalting that,
we're actually empowering that
to continue working in our lives.
So if we exalt that,
it's just gonna keep feeding it like waves.
When we exalt the Lord, when we praise him,
we worship him, the worship goes up,
the praise goes up and his blessings come down.
Yes.
His empowering comes down to us and changes us
and gives us what we need.
He is Jehovah Jireh or Yehovah Yireh.
He is the one who sees everything that we're gonna need
and he sees to it.
Yeah, the more we empower him,
the more we will be closer to him.
Right, and the more we exalt him,
we're empowering him to do something back in our lives.
So the other thing that Ira Milligan did
at this conference was he took two glasses.
One was empty and one had water in it
and he stood them side by side.
He held them up side by side.
And he said, as long as this empty one is the same height,
they were side by side,
as long as it's in the same position side by side
with the glass that has something in it,
the empty one will never get anything from the full one.
It's when the empty one lowers itself, okay?
You cannot pour from one to another
when they're side by side.
One of them has to go up and one of them has to go down.
So what you exalt, you empower to pour into you.
Yeah, that's so good.
So what an illustration that was.
Yeah, the power of your words.
Yeah, so when we exalt the Lord our God
and when we worship him,
we're empowering him to pour back into us.
And isn't that what this whole podcast is about?
The empowerment of the outpouring.
We wanna see the fullness of the outpouring
of the Holy Spirit on all flesh.
So as we exalt our Father,
as we exalt him as the Lord our God,
as we exalt him, as we worship him,
we are empowering him to pour out.
And it's like he spoke to me
when we got this name global outpouring,
he said, don't ask me for the outpouring,
ask me for my heart for the outpouring.
So as we're exalting his heart,
his heart is all about his love.
He is love.
He is the very source of love.
He's the essence of love.
Love doesn't exist except that it comes from him.
Yeah.
Now that's the agape kind of love.
That other kind can come from elsewhere.
But the true love of, the love of God,
that perfect love that casts out fear comes from him.
So we have to exalt him.
So this idea of exalting him,
we see it in Psalm 99 from the Amplified Classic.
Starting with verse one,
the Lord or Yehovah reigns,
let the peoples tremble with reverential fear.
He sits enthroned above the cherubim,
let the earth quake.
Now that picture of he sits enthroned above the cherubim
is both in heaven and on earth in the Ark of the Covenant,
because the cherubim are right there
on the top of the Ark of the Covenant.
And he sits enthroned there.
The Lord is great in Zion.
He is high above all the peoples.
Let them confess and praise your great name,
awesome and reverence inspiring.
It is holy and holy is he.
The strength of the King who loves righteousness,
there he is, there he is, Melchizedek.
Jesus is after the order of Melchizedek.
The strength of the King who loves righteousness and equity,
you establish in uprightness.
You execute justice and righteousness in Jacob or Israel.
Extol the Lord our God and worship at his footstool.
Holy is he.
So in the King James, it says, exalt the Lord our God
and worship at his footstool.
So one of the places where you see a description
of the footstool of God is in 1 Chronicles 28 and verse 2.
It says, then David the King stood up upon his feet
and said, hear me my brethren and my people.
As for me, I had in my heart to build a house of rest
for the Ark of the Covenant of the Lord.
Yehovah and for the footstool of our God.
And had made ready for the building.
And he goes on to talk about how Solomon his son
is going to do this.
But the footstool of God is actually
the Ark of the Covenant.
And you see that with the, it's like his presence comes down
upon the Ark of the Covenant.
So it's as though that's where his feet go.
He's occupying that place above the Ark of the Covenant.
So you see that as his footstool.
So exalting him, this word exalt
is from the Hebrew word room
and from the outline of biblical usage
from the Blue Letter Bible app or blueletterbible.com.
This comes in the polel stem formation of this verb.
I won't try to take time explaining what that means,
but it's a formation of the verb.
So when you're looking at what a word means in the Hebrew,
if it says polel, those are the meanings.
So the polel version of this word means to raise
or rear children, to raise as in children,
to cause to grow up, to lift up,
to raise, to exalt, to exalt or extol.
So exalting the Lord, remember how we've said before
that Dean Braxton expressed to us
that when he looked at the Lord
and he took in the greatness and the beauty
and the glory and the love
and he's processing that in his mind for just that moment
and he looks again and he's more so.
So you have this idea of when we exalt him,
we're seeing him grow right before our eyes.
And when we exalt him, we're empowering him
to make us grow.
We're made in his image.
So we're in that place of exalting him
and it's part of relationship that as we exalt him,
he's doing something in us.
So we also have Psalm 34 and verse three
that says, oh, magnify the Lord with me
or magnify Yehovah with me
and let us exalt his name together.
So it's the same word exalt
where you're causing his name to grow.
And remember what Yehovah means, it means he who was,
he who is and he who always will be what he is.
He never changes in the essence of who he is,
he just grows, he just becomes more so.
So when we exalt him, we're causing that growing
in our eyesight before him.
The more we exalt him, the more we see his greatness
and the more we see his greatness, the more we magnify him.
So this word magnify comes from the Hebrew word gadal
and we get the word gadol from that, which means great.
And like you see in the Hebrew that like the high priest,
the Hebrew expression is Kohen Hagadol.
So a Kohen is a priest,
but the high priest is Kohen Hagadol.
So he's the great priest,
he's the exalted priest so to speak,
he's the big guy.
He's the big shot.
So this word magnify also means to cause to grow
or to make great or powerful or to magnify.
So I remember years ago, Philip and I are worship leaders
and we were singing a song about magnify the Lord.
And as we're singing, I'm meditating on
what does that look like?
What does that mean to magnify him?
And the thought came to me,
it's like all of a sudden in that moment,
I got a picture in my mind of a magnifying glass.
And then the question came in my spirit,
well, what is significant about that magnifying glass
that enables it to magnify?
And what I got was it's transparent.
So when we have allowed the Holy Spirit to be working in us
to make us transparent before him.
When the light lights us up.
Yeah, what lights us up.
And when we're honest, people will say,
you're so transparent.
You tell things about yourself
that you're not hiding anything.
You're being transparent.
And I think it's when we,
another way to say that would be to humble yourself.
In humbling yourself, you're magnifying him.
Yeah, and he will exalt you in due time.
Exactly.
And there was a song out of the 80s probably.
Remember that, humbly yourself in the side was around.
Oh yeah.
And he will lift you up higher and higher.
Oh yeah, I remember that one.
Yeah.
So. And that's true.
It's very true.
So as I was meditating on that,
getting ready to record this podcast,
as I was meditating on that,
I saw something else that I'd never seen before.
And another aspect of a magnifying glass is its shape.
Its shape is convex.
Now, when I was a kid,
I knew I had to learn the words convex and concave.
And they're opposite each other, but which one is which?
So concave means it's shaped like a cave
and it turns inward.
So that a lens that is concave turns inward on both sides.
Yeah.
And a convex lens turns outward.
Yeah.
It's like a bubble in the middle.
Yeah, it's like a bubble.
So I looked it up in the free dictionary.com
and it says rising or swelling
into a spherical or rounded form
that I'm talking about convex.
Rising or swelling into a spherical or rounded form.
And it says regularly protuberant.
Well, I didn't even bother looking that one up,
but I think it means sticking out, right?
Or bulging, okay?
So it's bulging in the middle, but it's in a regularity.
It's not like a house of mirrors
that has all of this distortion.
It's a purely smooth, rounded surface.
And when you look through it,
it magnifies the thing you're looking at.
Yeah.
So when we magnify the Lord,
we are making him look bigger to ourselves.
Ooh, I like that.
Okay.
And we're giving him the place that's due him
because he is greater than what we can understand.
He's greater than what we perceive.
He's more so.
He's always more so.
But if you are looking at yourself,
you know, the enemy of our souls,
the accuser of the brethren,
is always trying to magnify our faults.
Boy, that's for sure.
Yeah.
Just reminds us about them.
Yeah.
And I'm reminded of what Dean Braxton says
about how Lucifer fell to begin with was,
okay, so back up.
In heaven, you communicate thought to thought.
And the part that we don't know,
we didn't know until Dean told this truth,
was that you have to ask for permission to give a thought.
The person you wanna give it to grants permission
for you to give it, okay?
So what Lucifer started doing was putting thoughts in
without permission.
And that is still his MO.
That is still how he operates.
He's putting thoughts in our heads
that we've given him no permission to give.
And he never gives up.
He doesn't seem to,
but I think we have authority to stop him.
We just have to stay on top.
Yeah, we have to just keep saying, no, no,
that's not who I am.
The real me is my spirit.
And my spirit is one with the Holy Spirit.
And he's perfect.
He sees us as perfect.
When we've asked Jesus into our lives,
even if he hasn't worked out all the knots
and warts and things like that,
we're in process.
We're in process.
The whole Christian walk is a process,
but we're in process.
And our father sees the finished work through Jesus.
Thank God.
He sees us as finished.
So we mustn't give any place to that accuser
when he's accusing us to ourselves,
or when he's accusing others to us,
or when he's accusing God to us, he does that too.
The accuser, the brethren is cast down
by the power of the blood of Jesus.
And we have to keep applying the blood of Jesus
to keep our minds heavenward.
And Isaiah 55, God says,
my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways.
For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts.
So our father is challenging us to keep looking at him
to learn his ways and learn his thoughts,
so that we renew our minds with his thinking.
That's the goal.
That's where we're supposed to be going.
But if we're looking at ourselves through a concave lens,
and we're seeing our faults, and we're seeing our failures,
if you look at something through a concave lens,
it shrinks it.
And so we're actually magnifying our weaknesses
and making ourselves smaller in our own eyes.
So when we magnify our father,
one of the things that Dean says,
and I'm still trying to wrap my head around it,
is that although he didn't say it this way,
these are my words,
although you see our father in the shape of,
like our shape, with a head and arms and legs and so on,
he said that he's like a sphere, like a bubble,
and that we are too.
So what I'm imagining,
and I'll have to get with him about this
to make sure I've got this right,
but what I'm imagining is that it's kind of like
the circular or spherical glow
that is around a candle flame.
Okay, yeah.
If you ever look at a candle kind of in the darkness,
you'll see this circular flame,
so, or the circular glow around it.
And I think maybe that's kind of what this is like.
We'll have to ask him on the next podcast
that we do with him, which I hope will be soon.
So what I'm seeing is this idea of being spherical,
like this convex lens that we're using
as we're meditating on him, as we're exalting him,
as we magnify him.
He is the one that sets us into that place of wholeness,
because he is my King of righteousness, right?
Melchizedek, my King of righteousness,
dwelling in that place of wholeness and perfection.
He is in that process of doing that for us.
And the Melchizedek from Genesis 14
was placed there in that place as like a placeholder
to protect what God was going to do
on that mountain of Moriah.
Because the southern slope is what is the city of David,
and the upper slope is the place
where the Temple Mount was.
And if you look beyond that,
what used to be the northern slope was quarried away
to be the place where they quarried the rock
for the Solomon's Temple.
And beyond that is the place of Golgotha.
So the same place where Abraham was ready to sacrifice Isaac
and God counted it as though he actually did it.
He was enacting on earth something
that God was going to do himself.
But he needed a human being who was willing to do it
on earth as it is in heaven,
because Jesus was sacrificed
from before the foundation of the earth.
So we have this beautiful thing that comes
from our Father as we exalt him together.
Now, Philip, would you be so kind as to read Psalm 34
from the Passion Translation?
Let's read verses one through 14.
Lord, I'm bursting with joy over what you've done for me.
My lips are full of perpetual praise.
I'm boasting of you and all your works.
So let all who are discouraged take heart.
Let me just give you that in the-
King James.
King James, verse two.
My soul shall make her boast in the Lord.
The humble shall hear thereof and be glad.
So what does it say in the Passion for that?
I'm boasting of you and all your works.
So let all who are discouraged take heart.
Yeah, so humble or discouraged, it works for both.
Yeah.
But I think we need to make sure that we see both.
Go ahead.
Okay.
Join me, everyone.
Let's praise the Lord together.
Let's make him famous.
Let's make his name glorious to all.
Yes.
Listen to my testimony.
I cried to God in my distress and he answered me.
He freed me from all my fears.
Yes.
Gaze upon him, join your life with his and joy will come.
Your faces will glisten with glory.
You'll never wear that shame face again.
When I had nothing, desperate and defeated,
I cried out to the Lord and he heard me,
bringing his miracle deliverance when I needed it most.
The angel of the Lord stooped down to listen as I prayed,
encircling me and powering me
and showing me how to escape.
He will do this for everyone who fears God.
Drink deeply of the pleasures of this God.
Experience for yourself the joyous mercies he gives
to all who turn to hide themselves in him.
Worship in awe and wonder all you who've been made holy
for all who fear him will feast with plenty.
Even the strong and the wealthy grow weak and hungry,
but those who passionately pursue the Lord
will never lack any good thing.
Come children of God and listen to me.
I'll share the lesson I've learned of fear in the Lord.
Do you want to live a long good life,
enjoying the beauty that fills each day?
Then never speak a lie or allow wicked words
to come from your mouth.
Amen.
Keep turning your back on every sin
and make peace your life motto.
Practice being at peace with everyone.
Amen.
So as we watch what comes out of our mouth,
what are we exalting?
What are we empowering?
Are we exalting and empowering evil?
Are we speaking so much about the agenda of the darkness
that we're empowering it?
Uh-oh, we better not.
We better be speaking about our Father's agenda.
What does he have planned?
Because he's got some great things planned
that are awesome and glorious.
Instead of exalting what is being done in darkness,
what is being planned in darkness,
just because they're planning it
doesn't mean they can pull it off.
Yeah, that's right.
So if we exalt Yehovah our God,
as we exalt Jesus and what he finished on Calvary,
he finished it.
He said, it is finished.
It is complete, it is whole.
He is our King of righteousness.
My King of righteousness did the work in Salem,
for Salem, for Shalem, for wholeness, for perfection,
to make me into a picture of him in the earth
glistening with his glory.
Yes.
Glistening with his glory.
So we exalt him together.
Yes, thank you Father.
Father, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ,
we ask you to cause each listener
to receive your presence right now.
That they will be like that Ark of the Covenant
where you put your feet down,
where you make your seat,
where you make your town of Shalem,
that place of wholeness,
that place of perfection,
that place where there's nothing missing, nothing broken.
Everything has been restored.
Everything is like a rock that hasn't been cut with iron.
Lord, we're asking you to cause each one
to see themselves as whole in you
because you fill up all the places where we're deficient.
And we thank you for that.
We empower you Lord, by our exaltation of you.
In Jesus' name.
Amen.
