6
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:34,120
Good morning everyone.

7
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:35,560
So good to see your smiling faces.

8
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:36,560
You made it.

9
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:39,080
We have a little bit of white stuff falling but it's still warm.

10
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:40,720
So it's just kind of like white rain.

11
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:42,720
Okay, that's all it is, white rain.

12
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:46,720
If you're joining us from home, thank you for welcoming us into your space.

13
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:48,320
A couple additional announcements.

14
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:50,780
You heard Alan say that we're having skate night tonight.

15
00:00:50,780 --> 00:00:52,020
We are not.

16
00:00:52,020 --> 00:00:53,020
It's supposed to get harder.

17
00:00:53,020 --> 00:00:57,640
The snow is supposed to get worse later this afternoon and extremely cold.

18
00:00:57,640 --> 00:00:58,640
We have rescheduled.

19
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:00,060
We haven't canceled.

20
00:01:00,060 --> 00:01:05,360
We have rescheduled our skate night for Sunday, February 2nd, same time.

21
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:07,640
Four-thirty to six-thirty at Turner's.

22
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:10,180
So just fast forward a couple weeks.

23
00:01:10,180 --> 00:01:11,600
Invite your friends, invite your family.

24
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:15,400
Let's pack the place out and have a good night skating together.

25
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:20,000
Another announcement I want to make that's not and wasn't in your announcements.

26
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,520
We have an incredible opportunity.

27
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:30,560
Vineyard USA has partnered with Seminary Now and we now as being a part of the Vineyard

28
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:35,560

Absolutely, positively free.

31
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:40,720
Okay.

32
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:44,880
So just because you're a part of HCV, you're here and you want to grow closer to Jesus,

On that homepage, you can scroll down and you can see the courses that are offered.

38
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,520
There's actually two courses.

39

Rudy is leading one on Tuesday nights here at HCV and Jess is leading another.

40
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:15,460
Those two courses are highlighted and then if you go below those, there's all the courses

41
00:02:15,460 --> 00:02:19,120
that you can take absolutely free.

42
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:22,560
Okay, so totally free, no charge.

43
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:26,640
I want to encourage you, check out the link, check out the classes.

44
00:02:26,640 --> 00:02:27,840
It will deepen your faith.

45
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:32,400
It will grow you closer to Jesus and again, it's absolutely free.

46
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:33,400
Free.

47
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:38,140
Okay, now for some of you that want to get your seminary degrees, you can pay for it.

48
00:02:38,140 --> 00:02:39,280
Go for it.

49
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:40,360
It's all good.

50
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:44,760
You can get your degree, you can graduate, but what we're offering to you again is absolutely

51
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:46,200
free.

52
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,600
So there's no reason not to check it out, right?

53
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:54,400
All right, so I want to launch out this morning by asking you a simple question and I just

54
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:56,240
want you to ponder it for a few minutes.

55
00:02:56,240 --> 00:03:00,040
No reason to shout out or respond.

56
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:03,320
Just listen to the Holy Spirit as I ask you this question.

57
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:08,760
Do you believe in the power of prayer?

58
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:13,440
Do you believe in the power of prayer?

59
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:20,560
Or do you happen to have a prayer life that's a little confusing, maybe weak, will lead

60
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:25,560
you to being surprised when God answers your prayers.

61
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:31,480
See, we are in the third week of our 21 days of prayer and fasting that we begin with every

62
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:39,200
new year at HCV and our focus this year is to become mountain movers.

63
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,800
And our scripture of the year is Mark 11, 23 that reads, I tell you the truth, you can

64
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:48,000
say to this mountain may you be lifted up and thrown into the sea and it will happen.

65
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:52,680
But you must really believe it will happen and have no doubt in your heart.

66
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:59,200
See, we have been praying and we've been fasting, we've been inviting God to intervene in situations

67
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:04,860
in our lives that seem impossible, that seem improbable to answer.

68
00:04:04,860 --> 00:04:10,160
We kicked off our series by discussing how a fresh anointing moves mountains.

69
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:15,920
And as we get closer to Jesus, as we become more like him, we develop the faith needed

70
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:17,120
to move mountains.

71
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:22,320
Last week we jumped into the Old Testament and we learned how Joshua took over as leader

72
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:28,480
of the people of Israel and immediately challenged the people to consecrate themselves before

73
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:34,320
God to prepare their hearts for God to move powerfully amongst them.

74
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:40,360
And this morning, and I'm going to continue in that story and speak to anyone who is currently

75
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:44,000
discouraged in their prayer life.

76
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:50,320
So you've been praying and praying for God to break in or for a breakthrough to happen,

77
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:52,800
but unfortunately nothing has.

78
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:57,680
Maybe you've been praying for months or even years for this mountain in your life to move.

79
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:01,200
And now you're wondering, God, am I, am I doing something wrong?

80
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:05,640
God, are you hearing my prayers?

81
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,480
If so, why are you not answering?

82
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,960
See, God, I'm desperately in need of a breakthrough.

83
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:12,960
I've grown tired.

84
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:16,800
I've grown weary in my prayer life.

85
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,760
And let's be honest.

86
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,420
We've all been there.

87
00:05:22,420 --> 00:05:26,460
We know what it's like to cry out to God and to see nothing.

88
00:05:26,460 --> 00:05:31,160
And then all around you, there's other people experiencing healing or, or they're seeing

89
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:36,560
a son or a daughter or give their life to Jesus or they're having these financial breakthroughs,

90
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,080
but not me.

91
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:45,600
And if you find yourself here today, if you're online watching and that's your position,

92
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:50,520
you're tired, you're frustrated, you're disappointed by this crisis, this mountain that you're

93
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:56,180
facing that in your prayer life, the prayers have not been answered and the mountain is

94
00:05:56,180 --> 00:05:57,440
not moved.

95
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:01,720
In fact, maybe your situation's gotten worse.

96
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,920
And maybe you're at a point in life where you're thinking about quitting.

97
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:10,400
You're moving on from believing in the miraculous, in the miracles of God.

98
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:15,200
Well, this morning, God challenged me with a, with a message that will encourage you

99
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:22,880
to press in and to pray through doubt because I believe walls will fall today.

100
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:26,540
I believe that the walls will come down.

101
00:06:26,540 --> 00:06:31,440
So we're going to continue discussing Joshua's story in Joshua chapter six.

102
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:38,240
And if you remember last week, we ended with Joshua entering the land of Jericho and he's

103
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:41,160
met by the commander of the Lord's army.

104
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:48,160
So we said that scholars believe is the pre incarnate person of Jesus and Jesus is standing

105
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:50,520
there wielding the sword.

106
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:56,760
And Joshua's told to take off his shoots because he was standing on holy ground.

107
00:06:56,760 --> 00:07:01,320
And then they would set off to conquer the city of Jericho, opening up the promised land

108
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:05,160
for the Israelites to have.

109
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:09,400
And I believe this story that we're going to discuss literally runs parallel with, with

110
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:14,160
prayer and fasting as we currently seek to see God move.

111
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:21,120
And God wants us to encourage us as a community of faith to press in and press on, which leads

112
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:27,760
us to our first thought this morning and see God, he gives simple instructions to follow.

113
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,340
God gives us simple instructions to follow.

114
00:07:30,340 --> 00:07:32,700
Listen to Joshua six, two through four.

115
00:07:32,700 --> 00:07:39,600
But the Lord said to Joshua, I've given you Jericho, it's King and all its strong warriors.

116
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:45,760
You and your fighting men should march around the town once a day for six days.

117
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,840
Seven priests will walk ahead of the arch, each carrying a ram's horn.

118
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:52,680
And on the seventh day, you were to march around the town seven times with the priests

119
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:54,680
blowing the horns.

120
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:59,960
And when you hear the priests give one long blast on the ram's horn, have all the people

121
00:07:59,960 --> 00:08:04,420
shout as loud as they can.

122
00:08:04,420 --> 00:08:09,320
Now I believe when receiving instructions like that, Joshua could have quickly questioned

123
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:15,240
God, could have argued with God saying, this makes no sense.

124
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:20,240
Really God, this is the stupidest plan I've ever heard or received.

125
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:25,080
Why not just let me go cut down a tree and create a battering ram and knock down those

126
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:26,080
doors?

127
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:30,560
Why not just establish a siege and starve them out?

128
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:36,760
Why not sneak more warriors over the walls at night, just like our spies and overwhelm

129
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,160
them from the inside?

130
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:45,320
Why God would I simply march around the walls for seven days when I have these warriors

131
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:49,160
and the strength to do it on my own?

132
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:55,760
See, quite often I believe that is our problem when it comes to prayer.

133
00:08:55,760 --> 00:09:01,640
We want mountains to move our way, not God's way.

134
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:06,360
But God wants us to believe in the miraculous and he gives us simple instructions to achieve

135
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:07,360
it.

136
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:13,520
See, God often reveals to us plans for success, instructions for living and experiencing the

137
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:20,440
miraculous in life, but we question him and we make it harder than it has to be.

138
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:25,080
I mean, Jesus shared these words in Mark chapter 12, verses 20 to 31.

139
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:28,600
One of the teachers of religious law was standing there listening to the debate.

140
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:33,680
He realized that Jesus had answered well, so he asked him another question of all the

141
00:09:33,680 --> 00:09:36,360
commandments, which is the most important.

142
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:42,080
Jesus replied, it's almost like you can see Jesus, just this is easy.

143
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:46,800
The most important command is this, the Lord your God is the one and only Lord and you

144
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:50,720
must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind and all

145
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:54,260
your strength and the second is equally as important, love your neighbor as yourself.

146
00:09:54,260 --> 00:09:58,480
No other commandment is greater than these.

147
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:02,840
And when we hear those words, many of us maybe haven't memorized, have read them often, we

148
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:10,800
think well, well that's easy, but if we really look at those two simple commandments, we

149
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:19,200
quickly realize it centers around one simple word and that word is all.

150
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:22,280
Jesus wants all of us.

151
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:27,500
He wants our hearts, he wants our souls, he wants our minds.

152
00:10:27,500 --> 00:10:29,680
Does he want us to ask questions?

153
00:10:29,680 --> 00:10:35,840
Yes, but he doesn't want us to doubt and believe that our ways, that our plans are better than

154
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:36,840
his.

155
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:42,360
I mean last week we discussed how God's ways are higher than our ways, how his thoughts

156
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:44,680
are higher than our thoughts.

157
00:10:44,680 --> 00:10:50,760
So when he tells us to fast and pray for seven days while we walk around the walls of Jericho,

158
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:55,440
even though it makes no sense, we should do it.

159
00:10:55,440 --> 00:11:01,460
We should go after it because the plans of God are revealed in the presence of God.

160
00:11:01,460 --> 00:11:05,360
As we get closer to God, his plans for our life is revealed.

161
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:10,080
Remember Joshua and the people of Israel, they consecrated themselves before they began

162
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:15,880
this journey and we discussed how consecrated means they're all in.

163
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:18,960
They're all in with God.

164
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:25,800
So this morning ask yourself, are you all in with God?

165
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:33,080
And if so, will you respond to God even if he asks you to do something that makes absolutely

166
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:35,680
no sense?

167
00:11:35,680 --> 00:11:36,960
Which leads us to our next thought.

168
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:41,280
You see the enemy, the enemy places walls of doubt in our lives.

169
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:46,520
Joshua 6, 1, now the gates of Jericho were tightly shut because the people were afraid

170
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:47,900
of the Israelites.

171
00:11:47,900 --> 00:11:51,560
No one was allowed to go out or in.

172
00:11:51,560 --> 00:11:56,880
See Jericho was an ancient city with walls that stretched into the sky.

173
00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:01,560
So the people of Israel, they crossed into the Jordan River, into the promised land,

174
00:12:01,560 --> 00:12:03,840
but they did not possess the land.

175
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:08,780
There was this one city standing in their way and it was Jericho.

176
00:12:08,780 --> 00:12:13,440
And sometimes when we read or hear these stories, we think that's what they are.

177
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:14,920
They're just, they're just stories.

178
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:21,080
I mean, some of us remember growing up in church with our felt board or the video and

179
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:28,720
we sung songs about Joshua circling the city and walls falling down.

180
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:31,720
But this isn't just a story.

181
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:34,160
Jericho is an actual city.

182
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:38,480
In fact, it claims to be the oldest city on planet earth.

183
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:44,280
Our archaeological digs have proven the city existed as far back as 8,000 BC.

184
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:47,920
And today Jericho is home to Arabs, Israelis and Palestinians.

185
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:50,400
It's a real city.

186
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:57,040
So when we're reading about these walls, many scholars believe that the walls were 25 feet

187
00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:01,200
high and 20 feet thick.

188
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:08,060
Means soldiers could stand on top of the walls, walk back and forth and see for miles.

189
00:13:08,060 --> 00:13:10,440
Jericho could not be taken by human force.

190
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:12,080
That's the reason.

191
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:17,360
Hey Joshua, you're not going to knock those walls down.

192
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:21,720
And the Canaanite people, they were wicked people.

193
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:27,160
History tells us they used their children as prostitutes for false gods and they sacrificed

194
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:29,040
them on pagan altars.

195
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:33,080
They were into all kinds of idolatry and perversion and sin.

196
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:35,920
And this evil had gone on for years and years and years.

197
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:41,960
And God told Joshua and the people, I've already given you that city.

198
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:45,120
He made a promise to his people.

199
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:49,960
Just like you and me, God has promises for us.

200
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:54,800
And if you're in a relationship with Jesus, you need to fight for those promises.

201
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:57,600
And we fight for those promises in prayer.

202
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,940
We fight for those promises by fasting.

203
00:14:00,940 --> 00:14:05,940
And there's times in our life when the enemy, see he builds these walls against us.

204
00:14:05,940 --> 00:14:11,280
Remember John 10, 10, the feast's purpose is to steal, kill and destroy.

205
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:17,360
And these walls in our lives are created brick by brick, you know, bricks of doubt and fear

206
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:22,080
and a brick of negativity and hate and frustration.

207
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:26,200
And then you throw in the brick of depression or the brick of addictions.

208
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:29,560
And then we hear that voice, there's no hope for you.

209
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:32,360
There's no way out.

210
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:34,080
You're never going to be free.

211
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:39,840
And friends, when those feelings attack us, we need to fight back.

212
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:41,120
We just don't let it happen.

213
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:47,280
And Ephesians 6, 11 from the Amplified Version says, put on the full armor of God for his

214
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:52,720
precepts are like the splendid armor of a heavenly armed soldier.

215
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:58,440
So that you may be able to successfully stand up against all the schemes and strategies

216
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:01,800
and the deceits of the devil.

217
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:09,520
See the enemy uses worry and fear to steal our peace, to steal our joy.

218
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:12,960
That we're not able to be present with our children.

219
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:17,360
We're not aware of the blessings of God in our life.

220
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:21,520
And when he attacks us with this doubt, it hinders our prayer life.

221
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:24,920
And it calls us to drift further and further from God.

222
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:30,800
The dictionary defines doubt as distrust, the lack of confidence in or to call into

223
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:33,960
question the truth of God.

224
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:39,800
And when we doubt God in prayer, that's bad because it makes us a double minded person.

225
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:44,640
It's like in our heart we want to trust him, but in our mind we're doubting and we're

226
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:47,280
torn into two.

227
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:49,920
And that's hindering our prayers.

228
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:55,040
That's why Jesus reminds us in Matthew 6, 27, can all your worries at a single moment

229
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:56,040
to your life?

230
00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:59,040
Of course not.

231
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:00,560
But I get it.

232
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:02,080
The walls are big.

233
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:03,440
The mountain seems huge.

234
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:07,880
It's not moving anywhere, but we have to remember our next thought.

235
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:11,480
Faith is the substance of things not seen.

236
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:15,880
Joshua 6, 1 through 2, now the gates of Jericho, they were tightly shut because the people

237
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:18,800
were afraid, notice they were afraid of the Israelites.

238
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:21,080
No one's allowed in or out.

239
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:26,400
But the Lord said to Joshua, I've given you Jericho its king and all its strong warriors.

240
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:30,680
And notice, so often we miss, God is speaking in the past tense.

241
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:33,920
Yes, those walls are big.

242
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:37,920
They're tightly secured, but I've already given it to you.

243
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:41,680
And I believe that is what God is saying to us this morning.

244
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:43,720
He looks at our mountains.

245
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:48,040
He looks at that huge wall and he says, it's done.

246
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:52,640
I've given you victory because the enemy's already been defeated.

247
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:56,280
Jesus has already defeated Satan, sin and death.

248
00:16:56,280 --> 00:17:01,360
He's declared victory with his death, burial and resurrection and now all the spiritual

249
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:05,320
blessings of God is ours.

250
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:10,240
If you're in a relationship with Jesus, you have to walk by faith.

251
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:15,320
See God's perspective of our mountains as he looks down from his kingdom, they pale

252
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:21,080
in comparison to us because as we walk through our everyday life, we look up and we focus

253
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:25,280
on them and we think they're huge.

254
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:28,320
But God says, that's not what I want you to see.

255
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:30,920
Don't focus on how big it is.

256
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:35,200
Don't focus on how you haven't received the healing or you haven't gotten the promotion

257
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:39,880
or your finances aren't improving or your children haven't changed or I'm still not

258
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:42,760
married Chris.

259
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:48,240
Because it's in those instances that we want to take control of our life and try to move

260
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:51,800
those walls ourselves, but we can't.

261
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:56,800
Notice what God tells Joshua in Joshua 6, 3 through 4, you and your fighting men should

262
00:17:56,800 --> 00:18:00,440
march around the town once a day for six days.

263
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:04,140
Seven priests walk ahead of the ark, each carrying a ram's horn and on the seventh day

264
00:18:04,140 --> 00:18:09,060
you were to march around the town seven times with the priests blowing the horns.

265
00:18:09,060 --> 00:18:10,760
God had a plan.

266
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:16,440
The people to walk around the city one time for six days, but on the seventh day they

267
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:18,840
had to walk around it seven times.

268
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:24,800
Have you ever thought, why did God tell them to walk around the city seven times on the

269
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:25,800
seventh day?

270
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:33,400
Well, in the Hebrew scriptures, six always represents the number of man, all that man

271
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:36,360
can do in his limited strength.

272
00:18:36,360 --> 00:18:41,960
But in the Hebrew scriptures, again, seven is the number of God because it represents

273
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:45,120
perfection and completion.

274
00:18:45,120 --> 00:18:49,440
In other words, only what God can do in his strength.

275
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:54,320
And as we continue in verses 10 through 11, notice what Joshua says, do not shout, do

276
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:56,080
not even talk.

277
00:18:56,080 --> 00:19:01,040
Joshua commanded not a single word from any of you until I tell you to shout, then shout.

278
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:05,320
So the ark of the Lord was carried around the town once that day and then everyone returned

279
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:08,480
to spend the night in the camp.

280
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:12,920
Have you ever thought for a second, imagine what the warriors were thinking.

281
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:15,720
I mean, they're ready to fight.

282
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:17,360
They have their swords on.

283
00:19:17,360 --> 00:19:21,560
They're going to take the city by force, but God keeps telling them, eh, just walk around

284
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:23,680
the city.

285
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,680
Just walk around the city.

286
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:30,320
And he's desiring that they walk by faith.

287
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:35,320
Hebrews 11, one through three says, faith shows the reality of what we hope for.

288
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:38,320
It is the evidence of things we cannot see.

289
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:41,520
Through their faith, the people in days of old are under good reputation.

290
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:46,920
By faith, we understand that the entire universe was formed at God's command.

291
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:51,640
And what we now see did not come from anything that can be seen.

292
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:59,360
See, faith is believing in something even when you cannot physically see it, touch it,

293
00:19:59,360 --> 00:20:00,760
or experience it.

294
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:06,800
Essentially, we're trusting in something unseen based on our relationship with Jesus.

295
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:13,240
And this verse is part of a larger passage in Hebrews that discusses the lives of biblical

296
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:14,520
heroes.

297
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:19,240
Those men of great faith that demonstrated walking by faith.

298
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:24,240
And in verse 30 of chapter 11 in Hebrews, we read, it was by faith that the people of

299
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:28,000
Israel marched around Jericho for seven days.

300
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,520
Then the walls came crashing down.

301
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:36,760
See, we have to realize when it comes to our mountains, when it comes to our walls, we

302
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:42,600
have to realize the outcome is God's responsibility while obedience is ours.

303
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:45,240
We're called to be obedient.

304
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:48,200
Outcome is God's responsibility.

305
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:49,200
Obedience is ours.

306
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:53,520
And it doesn't matter how long you've been praying.

307
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:55,000
Keep on believing.

308
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:57,900
Yes, the enemy is going to come at us.

309
00:20:57,900 --> 00:21:02,520
We're going to have doubt in our minds, but we must remember, church, you're in a spiritual

310
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:04,000
battle.

311
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:09,720
And when the enemy is coming at us, chances are you're doing something right.

312
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:11,480
You're praying the right prayers.

313
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:15,520
You're believing for the miraculous.

314
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:21,440
Because it's not our power, it's his, which leads us to our final thought.

315
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:26,040
If we pray through, God will break through.

316
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:32,360
Imagine what would have happened if Joshua would have stopped the marching on day six.

317
00:21:32,360 --> 00:21:35,320
The people would have not made it into the promised land.

318
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:38,560
They wouldn't have experienced the goodness.

319
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:42,680
So I want to encourage you, don't stop praying on day six.

320
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:49,720
Day six is the number of man, while seven is the number of God, which leads us to continue

321
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:51,400
verses 15 to 16 and 20.

322
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:56,360
On the seventh day, the Israelites got up at dawn and marched around the town as he

323
00:21:56,360 --> 00:21:57,640
had done before.

324
00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:02,020
But this time, they went around the town seven times.

325
00:22:02,020 --> 00:22:06,400
And the seventh time around, as the priests sounded the long blast on their horns, Joshua

326
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:11,400
commanded the people, shout for the Lord has given you the town.

327
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:15,440
And when the people heard the sound of the ram's horn, they shouted as loud as they could.

328
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:20,680
And suddenly the walls of Jericho collapsed and the Israelites charged straight into the

329
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:23,920
town and captured it.

330
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:27,120
And there's someone here this morning.

331
00:22:27,120 --> 00:22:32,600
You're gathered here or you're watching online and you feel like giving up.

332
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:36,360
And God is challenging you this morning.

333
00:22:36,360 --> 00:22:38,200
Don't quit.

334
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:40,400
Keep praying, keep believing.

335
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:47,320
And on the seventh day, he wants you to shout because those walls will fall down.

336
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:51,840
Now some of you are, Chris, how do I know it's the seventh day?

337
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:54,440
You'll know because the Holy Spirit will tell you.

338
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:57,000
But you can't give up.

339
00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:00,480
Especially don't listen to those family members or those friends.

340
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:03,320
They're telling you it'll never happen.

341
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:07,280
Don't allow them to create a space of doubt in your mind.

342
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:11,560
If we pray through, God will break through.

343
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:13,080
And it's amazing.

344
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:17,240
Just share with me the story of a family that's now a part of our community of faith.

345
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:20,920
And they're a part of our community of faith because of the backpack giveaway.

346
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:24,920
A few years ago, they came to our backpack giveaway, received the backpack, loved how

347
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:28,600
our church was so generous and practical and how we reach out to them.

348
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:31,920
Now they're plugged into our community of faith thriving.

349
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:37,320
And their story after story of how God is changing lives in our community of faith.

350
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:40,800
On Sunday mornings when I share those words of knowledge, people are coming up here and

351
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:44,960
experiencing the miraculous healing of God.

352
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:49,440
But it all comes from taking a step of faith.

353
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:54,540
As we walk around the walls, as we pray and believe that God will break in, he's preparing

354
00:23:54,540 --> 00:23:57,200
us for a victory he's already given us.

355
00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:58,200
How do I know that?

356
00:23:58,200 --> 00:23:59,580
Look at 2 Corinthians 1.20.

357
00:23:59,580 --> 00:24:06,080
For all of God's promises have been fulfilled in Christ with a resounding yes.

358
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:11,280
And through Christ, our amen, which means yes, ascends to the glory of God.

359
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:14,360
We've got to believe in the power of prayer.

360
00:24:14,360 --> 00:24:19,720
We've got to rely on the power of God to move our mountains and to tear down our walls.

361
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:26,400
Jesus guaranteed victory for his followers with these words, Matthew 16, 18.

362
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:34,840
Upon this rock, I will build my church and all the powers of hell will not conquer it.

363
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:39,160
And notice he says the church and that's not this building, it's you and me.

364
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:41,600
It's those who belong to Jesus.

365
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:46,280
And what happens to our mountains, they get torn down because the gates of hell will not

366
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:47,840
stop us.

367
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:53,080
But I want to challenge you this morning, you need to go on the offensive.

368
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:57,880
We need to move forward claiming and declaring victory.

369
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:02,920
And too often the church, they're on the defensive, they're on the retreat, they're backing up

370
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:09,800
and God says no, you have the power to tear down the walls if you believe in me in prayer.

371
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:14,920
Will you continue to fall on your knees and pray and believe for the miraculous which

372
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:16,700
leads us to our action steps.

373
00:25:16,700 --> 00:25:18,560
The walls will fall.

374
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:22,200
Three simple steps in experiencing the walls falling.

375
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:25,040
Number one, you got to focus on Jesus.

376
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:29,920
When Joshua was near the town of Jericho, he looked up and saw a man standing in front

377
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:32,080
of him with a sword in his hand.

378
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:34,200
Joshua went up to him and demanded, are you friend or foe?

379
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:35,200
Neither one.

380
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:38,800
He replied, I'm the commander of the Lord's army.

381
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:43,720
And at this, notice what Joshua did, he fell on his face to the ground in reverence.

382
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:47,240
And remember, that commander is Jesus.

383
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:53,720
And in this context, I want you to visibly see, Joshua would have been able to see the

384
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:56,200
giant walls in front of him.

385
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:58,800
That's how big they were.

386
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:00,120
But who did he focus on?

387
00:26:00,120 --> 00:26:01,680
Did he focus on the walls?

388
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:03,200
Did he talk about the walls?

389
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:08,640
No, he focused on Jesus and fell before him in reverence.

390
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:12,440
And we have to do the same if we want the miraculous to come in our life.

391
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:15,200
We have to worship Jesus, focus on Jesus.

392
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:19,600
It's not our problems, it's not our mountains, it's his.

393
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:24,760
Hebrews 12, one through two, therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of

394
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:29,960
witnesses to the life of faith, that a strip off every weight that slows us down, especially

395
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:34,560
the sin that so easily trips us up and let us run with endurance to race God has set

396
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:35,740
before us.

397
00:26:35,740 --> 00:26:45,380
We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith.

398
00:26:45,380 --> 00:26:47,720
Let us strip off doubt.

399
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:49,440
Let us throw off shame.

400
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:53,520
Let us get rid of negativity and frustration and instead what?

401
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:56,600
Focus on Jesus.

402
00:26:56,600 --> 00:27:03,140
When we spend our energy focusing on Jesus and all that he's done for us, guess what?

403
00:27:03,140 --> 00:27:07,520
It's a lot harder to be disappointed with our lives and doubt the power of God.

404
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:11,000
When we're grateful, that's when the miracles come.

405
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:13,640
Sure, I get it.

406
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:17,600
Circumstances happen, you have a bad day, things might not always work out the way we

407
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:22,960
want them to, but when we focus on Jesus, we rise above those circumstances and that

408
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:27,720
doubt and we find peace in him, which leads us to our next step.

409
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:30,720
We focus on Jesus, we forget the past.

410
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:36,640
Joshua 515, the commander of the Lord's army replied, take off your sandals for the place

411
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:40,560
where you're standing is holy and Joshua did as he was told.

412
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:46,120
And so we must realize their shoes, their sandals, if you will, it represented the past.

413
00:27:46,120 --> 00:27:47,120
How do I know this?

414
00:27:47,120 --> 00:27:53,600
Well, Deuteronomy 29.5 says, for 40 years I led you through the wilderness, yet your

415
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:58,080
clothes and your sandals did not wear out.

416
00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:04,960
For 40 years, the people of Israel wandered the wilderness wearing the same shoes.

417
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:09,560
And God is saying, you will not continue to walk as you once did.

418
00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:14,580
You're now crossing into the promised land, you're going to experience the new promises

419
00:28:14,580 --> 00:28:17,600
of God and all that I have for you.

420
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:23,120
And he's inviting us to experience the same, to get rid of our past, to move on from the

421
00:28:23,120 --> 00:28:28,960
doubt, to move on from the negative self talk and to walk into promises of God.

422
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:34,280
He's inviting us to allow him to fight our battles, to allow him to move our mountains

423
00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:36,440
and to tear down our walls.

424
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:40,460
God is challenging us this morning church, don't live in fear.

425
00:28:40,460 --> 00:28:47,600
Live in my promises because God's Holy Spirit elevates everything it touches.

426
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:52,000
It elevates everyone he is living in.

427
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:58,260
Again, Joshua 6, 17 and 22, Jericho and everything in it must be completely destroyed as an offering

428
00:28:58,260 --> 00:28:59,260
to the Lord.

429
00:28:59,260 --> 00:29:05,080
Now notice, only Rahab the prostitute and the others in her house will be spared for

430
00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:07,360
she protected our spies.

431
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:13,200
Meanwhile, Joshua said to the two spies, keep your promise, go to the prostitute's house

432
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:17,680
and bring her out along with her family.

433
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:23,160
Rahab the prostitute now appears in the bloodline of Jesus.

434
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:25,560
Read Matthew chapter one.

435
00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:33,160
Joshua had no idea that his actions, that his obedience would impact generations and

436
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:37,080
literally would change the entire world.

437
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:40,160
See God doesn't hold our past against us.

438
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:43,820
He uses it to change the world.

439
00:29:43,820 --> 00:29:49,480
And as we pray, I want you to realize you're impacting your family, you're impacting your

440
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:53,640
children, you're impacting your community, our nation and the world.

441
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:58,720
I mean I just shared at the beginning of this series about how, you know, six short months

442
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:02,660
ago we now built a kitchen in Kenya, right?

443
00:30:02,660 --> 00:30:06,160
We're changing lives all around the world.

444
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:11,060
But that all started 15 years ago when we were praying God use us.

445
00:30:11,060 --> 00:30:15,800
God use us to change this community, use us to change the world, use us to change the

446
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:16,800
nation.

447
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:21,900
It all started with prayer, which leads us to our final step.

448
00:30:21,900 --> 00:30:30,440
Focus on Jesus, forget the past, stop talking and believe.

449
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:31,840
Joshua 5 14.

450
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:37,660
At this, Joshua fell with his face to the ground in reverence.

451
00:30:37,660 --> 00:30:42,880
Like when Joshua realized it was Jesus, he stopped talking, he stopped asking questions,

452
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:47,560
he fell on his face out of reverence and fear, healthy fear, right?

453
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:49,720
And all of God.

454
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:54,720
And then as they were marching around the walls, notice what he says, Joshua 6 10, do

455
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:58,040
not shout, do not even talk.

456
00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:03,280
Joshua commanded, not a single word from any of you until I tell you to shout, then shout.

457
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:09,640
Believe as we fast, as we pray, I want to encourage you, stop speaking negative talk.

458
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:10,640
Right?

459
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:15,360
Don't talk about your boring wife or your arrogant husband.

460
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:18,040
There shouldn't be negative talk coming out of our mouths.

461
00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:21,800
Don't talk about how big your mountain is or how the wall doesn't change.

462
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:23,720
Don't speak doubt.

463
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:25,480
Don't blame others.

464
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:28,340
Take responsibility.

465
00:31:28,340 --> 00:31:31,160
Don't allow others to speak negatively in your life.

466
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:32,160
Right?

467
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:36,680
I would like the Holy Spirit to come to overwhelm your life, to open your heart, to receive

468
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:38,520
his encouragement and his direction.

469
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:43,000
Psalm 46 10, be still and know that I am God.

470
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:44,880
I will be honored in every nation.

471
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:48,000
I will be honored throughout the world.

472
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:51,360
And you say, Chris, why would you tell me to stop talking?

473
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:55,880
Because it's hard to hear God's voice when we're always the ones talking.

474
00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:59,340
It's hard to hear God's voice when we're always the ones scrolling.

475
00:31:59,340 --> 00:32:03,320
It's hard to hear God's voice when we're bins watching TV shows.

476
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:09,560
Instead, as he says, no, fast, pray, and march.

477
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:17,880
In Mother Teresa's last interview that she ever gave, she was asked the question, what

478
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:25,160
do you say to God that you've impacted the world in such a powerful way?

479
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:27,120
Her response?

480
00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:30,640
I don't say anything, I listen.

481
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:32,960
I listen.

482
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:39,600
Philippians 4 13, for I can do everything through Christ who gives me strength.

483
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:43,960
And this is not about achieving in our own strength.

484
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:49,080
When it says all things are everything, they're the trials, the tests, the mountains, the

485
00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:50,080
walls.

486
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:54,600
They can be overcome through Jesus's presence in us.

487
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:57,760
See, prayer is our weapon.

488
00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:02,600
It's our weapon that we use to wage war against our enemies and against the mountains.

489
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:09,840
And we have to realize, public victories are the result of private visits with God.

490
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:15,760
Joshua had a private visit with Jesus before going into battle with Jericho.

491
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:17,920
And church, we need to do the same.

492
00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:19,720
We need to do the same.

493
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:23,600
Will you stand with me?

494
00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:26,120
So I want to give you a little direction on what we're going to do this morning.

495
00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:29,200
Every one of you on your bulletin, you have a Post-It note.

496
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:33,320
And we have thousands of these Post-It notes at the Welcome Hub.

497
00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:37,720
That little circle thing right in the middle of our cafe.

498
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:39,880
Here's what I want to encourage you to do as a community of faith.

499
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:42,240
You already see our crosses.

500
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:44,780
Sherry Rand built us crosses this week.

501
00:33:44,780 --> 00:33:46,000
Thank you, Sherry.

502
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:48,120
I want you to take your Post-It note.

503
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:52,960
I want you to write down your mountain or your wall that is in front of you.

504
00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:55,120
I want you to write it on a piece of paper.

505
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:56,520
And don't even put your name on it.

506
00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:59,360
Just write down what it is.

507
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:03,520
And then before you leave, I want you to either come up here to the front or in the back as

508
00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:04,520
you leave.

509
00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:08,000
I want you to stick that Post-It on this cross.

510
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:09,000
And that's not it.

511
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:10,680
Part two is next week.

512
00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:14,260
There's another step in the process that I'm going to challenge you to do.

513
00:34:14,260 --> 00:34:18,600
But step one is put your mountain and leave it on the cross.

514
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:21,600
Hand it over to God and say, God, this is yours.

515
00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:23,760
I want you to do with it what you must.

516
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:28,320
Now, as a community of faith, we're going to pray a simple prayer as we always do because

517
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:32,240
we believe God brings people in our midst that are far from God, have walked away from

518
00:34:32,240 --> 00:34:35,120
God, and He wants to welcome them home.

519
00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:36,120
Amen?

520
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:37,120
Let's pray.

521
00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:39,280
Jesus, I'm broken.

522
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:44,240
I'm full of doubt, shame, regret, sin.

523
00:34:44,240 --> 00:34:45,240
Change me.

524
00:34:45,240 --> 00:34:47,880
I believe you're God's son.

525
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:50,920
I believe you died for me.

526
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:52,320
Make me new.

527
00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:54,000
Set me free.

528
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:55,880
Fill me with your Spirit.

529
00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:58,320
Help me, God, to serve others.

530
00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:00,040
In Jesus' name.

531
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:01,040
Amen.

532
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:02,320
If you prayed that prayer, hold on.

533
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:03,320
We're not done.

534
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:04,320
We're not done.

535
00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:05,320
We're about to shout.

536
00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:07,320
We're about to shout.

537
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:09,920
If you prayed that prayer, see me, hug me.

538
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:11,680
I'm going to give you the next steps.

539
00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:15,880
Our prayer team will be here on the right to pray for any need in your life.

540
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:17,960
Real quick, four words of knowledge.

541
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:19,880
You have pain in your abdomen.

542
00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:23,760
You have pain in the top of your left foot when you walk.

543
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:28,580
You have on the right side of your throat, you have an abnormality or a growth.

544
00:35:28,580 --> 00:35:30,040
You have right ankle pain.

545
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:34,120
Or you have abnormalities in your stomach that is causing you pain.

546
00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:37,520
If any of those are you, we want to pray for you here on the right.

547
00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:40,240
But before we go, listen.

548
00:35:40,240 --> 00:35:43,520
Our team is going to lead you to shout.

549
00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:44,560
Okay?

550
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:49,000
This is the ram's horn that would have been used when the walls came down.

551
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:51,720
I don't believe we have to use this ram's horn anymore.

552
00:35:51,720 --> 00:35:54,560
I believe our voices will do the same.

553
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:58,680
And I want you to sing and shout like you've never had before.

554
00:35:58,680 --> 00:35:59,680
Amen?

555
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:00,680
Let's go.

556
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:01,680
There's no impossible.

557
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:02,680
I believe that you are working now.

558
00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:03,680
So pour it out.

559
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:19,160
Oh, pour it out.
