WEBVTT

00:00:16.170 --> 00:00:18.769
honor and privilege it is for us to be here.

00:00:19.510 --> 00:00:25.469
Just an incredible weekend. I just want to, before

00:00:25.469 --> 00:00:28.230
I get started this morning, just say a huge thank

00:00:28.230 --> 00:00:31.589
you to all of you. Some of you may be online

00:00:31.589 --> 00:00:35.250
watching, but everyone that helped pull off this

00:00:35.250 --> 00:00:37.750
weekend, the marriage of Jackie and Trenton,

00:00:37.770 --> 00:00:39.869
thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts.

00:00:40.649 --> 00:00:44.909
You made that moment just an extra special. It

00:00:44.909 --> 00:00:48.310
was a perfect day. It was a perfect day. The

00:00:48.310 --> 00:00:51.270
wedding was just incredible. Two beautiful young

00:00:51.270 --> 00:00:54.149
people knitting their hearts and lives for a

00:00:54.149 --> 00:00:57.750
new future together. And you made that possible.

00:00:57.950 --> 00:01:01.469
And thank you for all of you who served and helped.

00:01:02.429 --> 00:01:06.650
Hours and hours and hours, just for days, just

00:01:06.650 --> 00:01:09.890
helping make that happen. So thank you very much.

00:01:09.890 --> 00:01:12.569
Appreciate all that you did. Thank you so much

00:01:12.569 --> 00:01:17.590
for that wonderful gift to us. Back in May, I

00:01:17.590 --> 00:01:20.150
decided I would come up for Father's Day to surprise

00:01:20.150 --> 00:01:24.909
Trenton, which we did, and was here just to spend

00:01:24.909 --> 00:01:30.239
some time with him and Jackie as well. enjoying,

00:01:30.439 --> 00:01:32.640
I love my son a lot. We have a great relationship

00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:36.420
and being able to spend some time. And it so

00:01:36.420 --> 00:01:38.459
happened to be there was a wedding here that

00:01:38.459 --> 00:01:41.299
weekend and Cheryl and I had kind of come here

00:01:41.299 --> 00:01:43.560
and all the people were back there by the big

00:01:43.560 --> 00:01:45.700
tree and chairs out and everything celebrating.

00:01:47.120 --> 00:01:51.019
But I came over and was just enjoying the view

00:01:51.019 --> 00:01:54.099
and the water and the river and the flowing of

00:01:54.099 --> 00:01:56.099
the waters and just the wonderful, beautiful

00:01:56.099 --> 00:01:59.700
spring, early summer day. wonderful weather,

00:01:59.859 --> 00:02:01.879
there with my wife, and we're just looking out

00:02:01.879 --> 00:02:04.079
over it and enjoying it, and the Spirit of the

00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:07.840
Lord began to speak to my heart about you and

00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:12.400
about this church. And it's funny how God works

00:02:12.400 --> 00:02:14.580
with that sometimes, but man, I was just standing

00:02:14.580 --> 00:02:16.560
there, and all of a sudden the Lord spoke very

00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:21.199
clearly and said, this house shall be known as

00:02:21.199 --> 00:02:26.210
the house of the river of God. and just very

00:02:26.210 --> 00:02:29.949
clear, very powerful, succinct, just clear into

00:02:29.949 --> 00:02:32.830
my heart, this house should be known as a house

00:02:32.830 --> 00:02:35.889
of the river of God. And immediately dropped

00:02:35.889 --> 00:02:39.289
into my heart the two passages of scripture that

00:02:39.289 --> 00:02:41.729
I will speak from here in a minute out of John

00:02:41.729 --> 00:02:44.569
chapter seven and Ezekiel 47 about the river

00:02:44.569 --> 00:02:48.210
of God. And I just began to just think about

00:02:48.210 --> 00:02:50.090
it, wait about it, and just say, okay, well,

00:02:50.169 --> 00:02:52.490
and we had planned to come here and be a part

00:02:52.490 --> 00:02:56.129
of a prophetic, weekend and time here, but Brad

00:02:56.129 --> 00:02:59.810
so graciously canceled that on us, and I'm just

00:02:59.810 --> 00:03:04.870
kidding. COVID canceled it, and so I just thought,

00:03:04.889 --> 00:03:08.409
well, okay, I'll just trust God with how that

00:03:08.409 --> 00:03:11.310
works out, and here this weekend came, and Brad

00:03:11.310 --> 00:03:13.550
invited me to share, and the Lord really clarified

00:03:13.550 --> 00:03:15.710
it in my heart. I want you to speak that word,

00:03:15.789 --> 00:03:18.169
and so here we go. Are you ready to hear about

00:03:18.169 --> 00:03:23.080
the river today? Let's jump in. Jesus, in his

00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:26.240
ministry, began to encourage his people and his

00:03:26.240 --> 00:03:29.620
disciples and the followers gathered to really

00:03:29.620 --> 00:03:34.020
be people who understood, embraced, and got into

00:03:34.020 --> 00:03:37.500
the river of God. This is how he said it in John

00:03:37.500 --> 00:03:41.159
chapter seven, verse 37. On the last day, that

00:03:41.159 --> 00:03:43.879
great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried

00:03:43.879 --> 00:03:46.759
out, saying, if anyone thirsts, let him come

00:03:46.759 --> 00:03:50.319
to me and drink. He who believes in me, as the

00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:54.319
scripture has said, out of his heart will flow,

00:03:54.580 --> 00:03:59.819
let's all say it, rivers of living water. But

00:03:59.819 --> 00:04:02.759
this he spoke concerning the spirit whom those

00:04:02.759 --> 00:04:05.960
believing in him would receive, for the Holy

00:04:05.960 --> 00:04:08.939
Spirit was not yet given because Jesus was not

00:04:08.939 --> 00:04:12.819
yet glorified. So Jesus here kind of setting

00:04:12.819 --> 00:04:15.639
the stage for how he wanted his followers to

00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:19.629
live. He wanted them to Be filled with, he wanted

00:04:19.629 --> 00:04:24.610
them to experience the river of God. Out of your

00:04:24.610 --> 00:04:29.009
life, out of your heart would flow rivers of

00:04:29.009 --> 00:04:33.490
living water. Years, hundreds of years before

00:04:33.490 --> 00:04:36.149
the prophet Ezekiel received a vision from God.

00:04:36.939 --> 00:04:39.160
And it too was about the river. And a messenger

00:04:39.160 --> 00:04:42.060
from heaven was sent to him as he began to have

00:04:42.060 --> 00:04:44.680
this vision from the Lord about what it was going

00:04:44.680 --> 00:04:47.319
to be like as the house of the Lord was established

00:04:47.319 --> 00:04:50.579
and built in this season and time. Jesus, I think,

00:04:50.579 --> 00:04:54.019
confirming it in John 7. But in Ezekiel 47, the

00:04:54.019 --> 00:04:56.899
prophet encounters this messenger from God with

00:04:56.899 --> 00:05:00.720
this incredible vision. The Bible says in Ezekiel

00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:03.519
47 verse one that he brought me back to the door

00:05:03.519 --> 00:05:06.160
of the temple and there was water flowing from

00:05:06.160 --> 00:05:08.000
under the threshold of the temple toward the

00:05:08.000 --> 00:05:10.699
east for the front of the temple faced east.

00:05:11.100 --> 00:05:14.199
The water was flowing from under the right side

00:05:14.199 --> 00:05:16.720
of the temple south of the altar. He brought

00:05:16.720 --> 00:05:19.019
me out by way of the north gate and led me around

00:05:19.019 --> 00:05:21.379
on the outside to the outer gateway that faces

00:05:21.379 --> 00:05:24.920
east and there was water running out on the right

00:05:24.920 --> 00:05:28.329
side. And then the man went out to the east with

00:05:28.329 --> 00:05:31.750
the lion in his hand and he measured 1 ,000 cubits.

00:05:31.750 --> 00:05:35.069
A cubit is a measurement unit like a yard or

00:05:35.069 --> 00:05:37.889
a meter. He measured out 1 ,000 cubits and he

00:05:37.889 --> 00:05:40.189
brought me through the waters and the water came

00:05:40.189 --> 00:05:43.269
up to my ankles. Again, he measured 1 ,000 and

00:05:43.269 --> 00:05:46.209
brought me through the waters. The water came

00:05:46.209 --> 00:05:49.529
to my knees. Again, he measured 1 ,000 and brought

00:05:49.529 --> 00:05:52.089
me through and the water came up to my waist.

00:05:52.699 --> 00:05:54.959
Again, he measured 1 ,000, and it was a river

00:05:54.959 --> 00:05:57.839
that I could not cross, for the water was too

00:05:57.839 --> 00:06:04.319
deep, water in which one must swim. A river that

00:06:04.319 --> 00:06:07.199
could not be crossed. He said to me, son of man,

00:06:07.379 --> 00:06:10.360
have you seen this? And then he brought me and

00:06:10.360 --> 00:06:14.139
returned me to the bank of the river. When I

00:06:14.139 --> 00:06:15.800
returned there, along the bank of the river,

00:06:15.860 --> 00:06:19.339
there were very many trees on one side and the

00:06:19.339 --> 00:06:23.329
other. And he said to me, this water flows toward

00:06:23.329 --> 00:06:25.810
the eastern region, goes down into the valley,

00:06:25.910 --> 00:06:29.829
and enters the sea. When it reaches the sea,

00:06:30.029 --> 00:06:35.550
its waters are healed. And it shall be that every

00:06:35.550 --> 00:06:38.430
living thing that moves, wherever the rivers

00:06:38.430 --> 00:06:42.629
go, will live. There will be a very great multitude

00:06:42.629 --> 00:06:48.730
of fish because these waters go there. For they

00:06:48.730 --> 00:06:51.529
will be healed and everything will live wherever

00:06:51.529 --> 00:06:56.069
the river goes. It shall be that fishermen will

00:06:56.069 --> 00:06:59.290
stand by it from En Gedi to Englaim. They will

00:06:59.290 --> 00:07:02.350
be places for spreading their nets. Their fish

00:07:02.350 --> 00:07:04.470
will be of the same kinds as the fish of the

00:07:04.470 --> 00:07:08.810
great sea, exceedingly many. But its swamps and

00:07:08.810 --> 00:07:13.550
marshes will not be healed. They will be given

00:07:13.550 --> 00:07:17.920
over to salt. Along the bank of the river on

00:07:17.920 --> 00:07:20.579
this side and that will grow all kinds of trees

00:07:20.579 --> 00:07:23.379
used for food. And their leaves will not wither

00:07:23.379 --> 00:07:26.360
and their fruit will not fail. They will bear

00:07:26.360 --> 00:07:30.560
fruit every month because their water flows from

00:07:30.560 --> 00:07:35.019
the sanctuary. Their fruit will be for food and

00:07:35.019 --> 00:07:40.180
their leaves for medicine. Isn't that a great

00:07:40.180 --> 00:07:42.920
passage of scripture? I mean, you just read that

00:07:42.920 --> 00:07:46.759
and you're like, where do I get in? Right? I

00:07:46.759 --> 00:07:49.519
want to jump in that thing like nobody's business.

00:07:49.680 --> 00:07:52.000
I mean, that's just incredible. I want to be

00:07:52.000 --> 00:07:54.459
a part of that. Before I dive into the rest of

00:07:54.459 --> 00:07:57.040
my message, I just want to hone in on verse 11

00:07:57.040 --> 00:08:01.639
where it says this. Its swamps and marshes will

00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:06.139
not be healed. They will be given over to salt.

00:08:07.100 --> 00:08:11.439
How is the salt and marsh formed? How does a

00:08:11.439 --> 00:08:14.680
swamp and marsh get... birth or how does that

00:08:14.680 --> 00:08:17.180
occur? Let me tell you how it happens. River's

00:08:17.180 --> 00:08:19.639
flowing and all of a sudden the part of the river

00:08:19.639 --> 00:08:24.720
gets diverted, gets distracted, gets disconnected

00:08:24.720 --> 00:08:28.389
from the flow of the river. And what happens

00:08:28.389 --> 00:08:32.210
is that part goes over and becomes still. Now

00:08:32.210 --> 00:08:36.129
there's no flow. Now there's no infusion or release

00:08:36.129 --> 00:08:38.370
and flow of the river through it. Now it just

00:08:38.370 --> 00:08:41.909
becomes stopped up, held up, and the water begins

00:08:41.909 --> 00:08:45.850
to die because it has become disconnected from

00:08:45.850 --> 00:08:49.629
the river. I'm going to tell you the danger of

00:08:49.629 --> 00:08:52.950
this season right now is people becoming swamps

00:08:52.950 --> 00:08:55.899
and marshes. because they have begotten through

00:08:55.899 --> 00:09:00.220
a habit of disconnection. And we love all of

00:09:00.220 --> 00:09:01.779
y 'all that are in the room, and we love all

00:09:01.779 --> 00:09:04.340
y 'all that are online. But I gotta tell you,

00:09:04.360 --> 00:09:06.299
and I recognize there are circumstances that

00:09:06.299 --> 00:09:08.299
are beyond our control at times, but let me say

00:09:08.299 --> 00:09:12.620
this. Do not become disconnected from the river.

00:09:14.480 --> 00:09:17.940
You will get into a place where the waters will

00:09:17.940 --> 00:09:20.759
begin to die and it will become salt and you

00:09:20.759 --> 00:09:23.860
will turn into marsh and swamp and the water

00:09:23.860 --> 00:09:26.519
will not produce life like it should because

00:09:26.519 --> 00:09:30.480
you have been distracted. You have been diverted

00:09:30.480 --> 00:09:39.279
from the river. End of that. Moving on. I want

00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:41.700
to share with you five things about life in the

00:09:41.700 --> 00:09:43.000
river this morning. I'm going to speak to you

00:09:43.000 --> 00:09:44.919
about that. Five things about the life in the

00:09:44.919 --> 00:09:47.440
river. The river of God is incredible. It's an

00:09:47.440 --> 00:09:50.139
amazing thing. If you're here in the meeting

00:09:50.139 --> 00:09:54.539
today, I've got to tell you, it's almost as though

00:09:54.539 --> 00:09:59.899
the heavens just opened over our time today.

00:10:00.960 --> 00:10:05.279
I could almost just take off my shoes and kneel

00:10:05.279 --> 00:10:08.379
down on this ground right here. And just let

00:10:08.379 --> 00:10:12.320
the Lord do what the Lord does. It's that kind

00:10:12.320 --> 00:10:15.399
of moment, that kind of atmosphere in this place.

00:10:15.940 --> 00:10:17.940
What I'm gonna share with you, and I felt as

00:10:17.940 --> 00:10:20.379
I was worshiping in the second service today,

00:10:20.460 --> 00:10:23.700
to share with you, I honor the legacy and history

00:10:23.700 --> 00:10:28.080
of this church. I'm grateful for what God has

00:10:28.080 --> 00:10:34.350
done before. But we don't live in the past. We

00:10:34.350 --> 00:10:36.850
live with our eyes on what God is getting ready

00:10:36.850 --> 00:10:42.230
to do next. What he wants to do next. And I believe

00:10:42.230 --> 00:10:44.690
that there are many people that are here that

00:10:44.690 --> 00:10:47.409
are watching online. You have been up to your

00:10:47.409 --> 00:10:50.509
ankles. You've been up to your knees. But God's

00:10:50.509 --> 00:10:53.090
wanting you to go down. deeper. He's wanting

00:10:53.090 --> 00:10:56.629
you to experience more and all that God has done

00:10:56.629 --> 00:10:59.389
and all of the wonderful things. Listen, I prophesied

00:10:59.389 --> 00:11:02.090
rise up and build I think a few years ago and

00:11:02.090 --> 00:11:04.049
here we are. This is my first time preaching

00:11:04.049 --> 00:11:07.029
in the new auditorium. You did it. You came here

00:11:07.029 --> 00:11:10.769
and as great as it is, God has got more for you.

00:11:13.889 --> 00:11:16.210
There's more things to be done. There's more

00:11:16.210 --> 00:11:18.169
anointing to be experienced. There's another

00:11:18.169 --> 00:11:21.899
level God wants to bring you to. So I want to

00:11:21.899 --> 00:11:24.799
share with you this, that the river, first of

00:11:24.799 --> 00:11:28.580
all, the river is the flow of the Holy Spirit.

00:11:29.940 --> 00:11:33.700
The Holy Spirit is presence and is power and

00:11:33.700 --> 00:11:38.360
is purpose flowing in your life. Man, I got to

00:11:38.360 --> 00:11:40.519
tell you, God's got an incredible life for you

00:11:40.519 --> 00:11:42.759
to live and you're going to need the power and

00:11:42.759 --> 00:11:47.399
presence of the Holy Spirit to do it. It's so

00:11:47.399 --> 00:11:50.259
important. Jesus said, don't you dare leave Jerusalem

00:11:50.259 --> 00:11:53.759
until you receive power from on high. And once

00:11:53.759 --> 00:11:56.220
you've got it, go do what I've told you to do.

00:11:56.279 --> 00:11:59.240
But don't you dare try it without the Spirit

00:11:59.240 --> 00:12:04.139
of God. The river is the flow of the Holy Spirit.

00:12:04.240 --> 00:12:07.899
In John 7, 38 and 39, out of his heart will flow

00:12:07.899 --> 00:12:11.159
rivers of living water. This he spoke concerning

00:12:11.159 --> 00:12:14.679
the Spirit. It is the river is the Holy Spirit

00:12:14.679 --> 00:12:18.159
of God. The river of God is the Spirit of God

00:12:18.159 --> 00:12:21.120
flowing, his presence and power in your life.

00:12:21.740 --> 00:12:26.200
And it flows from his throne. Revelation chapter

00:12:26.200 --> 00:12:29.600
22, verse one says, he showed me a pure river

00:12:29.600 --> 00:12:34.139
of water of life. clear as crystal, proceeding

00:12:34.139 --> 00:12:41.799
from the throne of God and of the Lamb. The source

00:12:41.799 --> 00:12:46.600
of the river is God. It flows from his throne.

00:12:46.779 --> 00:12:49.100
What does that represent? His throne represents

00:12:49.100 --> 00:12:53.360
power. His throne represents authority. His throne

00:12:53.360 --> 00:12:57.830
represents dominion. Come on, the river flows

00:12:57.830 --> 00:13:00.090
out of that place and that river then carries

00:13:00.090 --> 00:13:03.809
with it power and authority and dominion. I can

00:13:03.809 --> 00:13:06.610
come to the river dirty and I go in and become

00:13:06.610 --> 00:13:09.929
clean. I can come to the river addicted, but

00:13:09.929 --> 00:13:13.029
I go into the water and I become free. I can

00:13:13.029 --> 00:13:16.070
come to the water and I am sick, but I enter

00:13:16.070 --> 00:13:19.480
into the water and I become healed. Why? Because

00:13:19.480 --> 00:13:23.159
there is an authority and a power and a dominion

00:13:23.159 --> 00:13:27.500
over sickness and addiction and sin and issues

00:13:27.500 --> 00:13:30.419
and all that stuff. You say, oh, Mark, I don't

00:13:30.419 --> 00:13:40.940
got issues. That's your issue. We all got issues,

00:13:41.139 --> 00:13:44.279
bro. And you're here going, I've got an issue.

00:13:44.360 --> 00:13:50.340
That's your issue. Then the river helps us be

00:13:50.340 --> 00:13:53.620
free from those things. Here's the incredible

00:13:53.620 --> 00:13:57.700
thing. Revelation is a picture of the eternal.

00:13:58.559 --> 00:14:04.629
And the eternal flows into the temporal. Into

00:14:04.629 --> 00:14:07.909
the temporary world we live in. Heaven flows

00:14:07.909 --> 00:14:11.529
into earth. And the river of God is the supernatural

00:14:11.529 --> 00:14:16.009
connection between heaven and earth. And someday

00:14:16.009 --> 00:14:18.750
after you die and you go to heaven, the river

00:14:18.750 --> 00:14:21.490
will still be flowing. It'll still be there.

00:14:21.649 --> 00:14:24.669
And you will gather around the river worshiping

00:14:24.669 --> 00:14:27.009
God as the river still flows from the throne

00:14:27.009 --> 00:14:31.190
of God. The river will never stop. You will leave

00:14:31.190 --> 00:14:33.210
this life and go into the next and you'll still

00:14:33.210 --> 00:14:37.789
be in the river. Still in the river. Your kingdom

00:14:37.789 --> 00:14:41.470
come, your will be done on earth as it is in

00:14:41.470 --> 00:14:44.690
heaven. And one of those connecting conduit points

00:14:44.690 --> 00:14:51.370
is the river of God. The river also flows through

00:14:51.370 --> 00:14:55.610
you and the house of God. Come on. Out of your

00:14:55.610 --> 00:15:00.960
heart will flow. rivers of living water. It's

00:15:00.960 --> 00:15:05.700
a personal experience. It's a personal responsibility

00:15:05.700 --> 00:15:09.879
that we have to be carriers, conduits, pipelines,

00:15:10.200 --> 00:15:13.549
if you will, of the river of God. You need to

00:15:13.549 --> 00:15:15.769
nurture it. You need to let it be released. You

00:15:15.769 --> 00:15:18.049
need to let it flow. You have a responsibility

00:15:18.049 --> 00:15:20.389
to not let it get damned up with bitterness,

00:15:20.629 --> 00:15:23.870
damned up with unforgiveness, damned up and held

00:15:23.870 --> 00:15:26.090
up with issues and things that you got going

00:15:26.090 --> 00:15:29.129
on. Don't let strongholds hinder the flow of

00:15:29.129 --> 00:15:31.929
the river. Let the Spirit of God break out past

00:15:31.929 --> 00:15:34.789
those things and let freedom come and let healing

00:15:34.789 --> 00:15:37.870
come and let restoration come. It's only found

00:15:37.870 --> 00:15:45.190
in the river. It's also flowing in the church,

00:15:45.269 --> 00:15:47.090
not just you personally in your own life, but

00:15:47.090 --> 00:15:49.110
in the house of God. The Bible says in Psalm

00:15:49.110 --> 00:15:53.669
46, 4, there is a river whose streams make glad.

00:15:54.889 --> 00:15:58.509
The city of God. The holy place where the Most

00:15:58.509 --> 00:16:00.990
High dwells. Where is that? What's the holy place

00:16:00.990 --> 00:16:02.990
that the Most High dwells? It's the house of

00:16:02.990 --> 00:16:06.110
God. It's the people of God. You are the holy

00:16:06.110 --> 00:16:09.250
place. This gathering is the holy place. We are

00:16:09.250 --> 00:16:12.639
the holy place where he dwells. And the incredible

00:16:12.639 --> 00:16:17.299
thing is, is that we have the ability to go to

00:16:17.299 --> 00:16:20.620
places that are dry and places that are barren

00:16:20.620 --> 00:16:24.299
and places that are having a drought in the spirit.

00:16:24.419 --> 00:16:28.100
And God has empowered you to be able to give

00:16:28.100 --> 00:16:32.000
birth to a flow of the river that is not there

00:16:32.000 --> 00:16:36.240
right now. But when you arrive, you can see the

00:16:36.240 --> 00:16:40.139
river flow out from you and dig a well and the

00:16:40.139 --> 00:16:45.149
river flows. You may not realize this, but the

00:16:45.149 --> 00:16:49.149
word heart in John 7, out of your heart will

00:16:49.149 --> 00:16:53.690
flow. It means the innermost part of your being.

00:16:54.169 --> 00:16:57.629
It means the inward parts, the belly. And here's

00:16:57.629 --> 00:17:00.429
another thing that the Greek word is, it means

00:17:00.429 --> 00:17:06.829
womb. Out of your heart, out of your womb will

00:17:06.829 --> 00:17:10.819
flow. In other words, what Jesus is saying is

00:17:10.819 --> 00:17:14.319
you, by the Holy Spirit, have the power to give

00:17:14.319 --> 00:17:17.079
birth to a river where there was not one before.

00:17:18.190 --> 00:17:20.950
You have the power to birth something in prayer

00:17:20.950 --> 00:17:23.369
and intercession. You have the power to birth

00:17:23.369 --> 00:17:25.970
something in the spirit through worship. You

00:17:25.970 --> 00:17:28.490
have a power through your life of faith and your

00:17:28.490 --> 00:17:31.170
stand in the spirit of God to actually bring

00:17:31.170 --> 00:17:33.809
into that barren place of your workplace, that

00:17:33.809 --> 00:17:36.690
barren place of your family, that barren place

00:17:36.690 --> 00:17:39.210
of your prodigal son or daughter, that barren

00:17:39.210 --> 00:17:41.750
place of a nation or a mission field. You have

00:17:41.750 --> 00:17:44.029
the authority and the power and the ability to

00:17:44.029 --> 00:17:47.029
give birth to a river that was never there before.

00:17:47.789 --> 00:17:50.769
because out of your womb will flow rivers of

00:17:50.769 --> 00:17:55.170
living water. When a woman is with child, when

00:17:55.170 --> 00:17:58.769
she's ready to give birth, her water breaks.

00:18:01.069 --> 00:18:04.650
And then a child is born. Amazing, isn't it?

00:18:05.630 --> 00:18:08.849
Hallelujah. Number three, the river has banks.

00:18:09.970 --> 00:18:13.529
The river does have banks. A river without banks

00:18:13.529 --> 00:18:17.400
hurts people and breaks things. You've got to

00:18:17.400 --> 00:18:20.619
have some order. You've got to have some boundaries.

00:18:20.759 --> 00:18:22.039
You've got to have some things that are there

00:18:22.039 --> 00:18:25.700
that will help bring life and let the life of

00:18:25.700 --> 00:18:29.119
God be wholesome and beautiful and fruitful.

00:18:29.460 --> 00:18:32.279
And it's where the fruitfulness of the river

00:18:32.279 --> 00:18:35.579
is seen in the trees on the banks. And so there's

00:18:35.579 --> 00:18:39.900
these banks God has for the river. I believe

00:18:39.900 --> 00:18:45.180
the banks represent the truth of God. Written

00:18:45.180 --> 00:18:50.700
authority is his bank of help to keep that river

00:18:50.700 --> 00:18:54.599
flowing well and flowing with life and power

00:18:54.599 --> 00:18:59.759
and strength. The other bank is leadership, God's

00:18:59.759 --> 00:19:02.019
delegated authority. So his written authority

00:19:02.019 --> 00:19:05.900
of his word, his delegated authority of his chosen

00:19:05.900 --> 00:19:09.200
leaders to help with the flow of the river that

00:19:09.200 --> 00:19:11.700
it produces life wherever it goes and the power

00:19:11.700 --> 00:19:14.200
of the river is harnessed in such a way it gives

00:19:14.200 --> 00:19:19.700
life in every expression. Number four, the river

00:19:19.700 --> 00:19:24.130
must be experienced. It must be experienced.

00:19:24.529 --> 00:19:26.769
We don't just stand on the bank of the river

00:19:26.769 --> 00:19:32.069
and go, wow, that's a beautiful river. You know,

00:19:32.069 --> 00:19:36.170
somebody should get in that. We see people playing

00:19:36.170 --> 00:19:37.930
out there. We're like, oh, that's great. How

00:19:37.930 --> 00:19:41.269
you doing? Come on in. Oh, yeah, it's okay. We

00:19:41.269 --> 00:19:43.509
can write songs about the river. We can write

00:19:43.509 --> 00:19:46.690
books about the river. We can pray for the river.

00:19:46.769 --> 00:19:48.910
We can think about the river. We can dream about

00:19:48.910 --> 00:19:55.240
the river. But you should get in the river. Amen,

00:19:55.299 --> 00:19:59.160
Mark. That was good. Amen. You should get in

00:19:59.160 --> 00:20:03.519
the river. It's not meant to just be to watch.

00:20:03.759 --> 00:20:05.700
I mean, here's the deal. Some people go, well,

00:20:05.799 --> 00:20:09.420
yeah, see, but here's the deal. I've seen people

00:20:09.420 --> 00:20:15.640
in the river and they're weird. I ain't doing

00:20:15.640 --> 00:20:21.890
that. I got a newsflash for you. Holy Spirit

00:20:21.890 --> 00:20:25.289
didn't make them weird. They were weird before

00:20:25.289 --> 00:20:33.970
they had the Holy Spirit. Just telling you. The

00:20:33.970 --> 00:20:37.150
Holy Spirit don't make people weird. They were

00:20:37.150 --> 00:20:40.529
weird before, okay? So we need to recognize that

00:20:40.529 --> 00:20:43.750
the spirit, the river must be experienced. My

00:20:43.750 --> 00:20:46.930
wife, I'm the guy that I just dive in. I mean,

00:20:46.950 --> 00:20:48.609
when it's time to go, it's time to get in the

00:20:48.609 --> 00:20:52.470
river, boom, I'm in there. I'm just boom, whoo,

00:20:52.470 --> 00:20:56.990
yeah. Not my wife. She comes up to the river

00:20:56.990 --> 00:21:02.250
and she goes, you know, she's like, whoo, whoo,

00:21:02.309 --> 00:21:03.950
whoo, whoo, she's calling me while I'm out there,

00:21:04.009 --> 00:21:06.710
you know. Come on, babe, let's get in the river.

00:21:07.589 --> 00:21:12.869
I am. A few minutes later, she's into her ankles.

00:21:14.230 --> 00:21:17.809
A few minutes later, she's up to her knees. Meanwhile,

00:21:18.009 --> 00:21:21.150
I'm swimming, and she's up to her waist. About

00:21:21.150 --> 00:21:26.309
that time, I'm ready to get out. I'm done. And

00:21:26.309 --> 00:21:27.650
so I'm starting to get out. She goes, where are

00:21:27.650 --> 00:21:31.049
you going? Well, I was in. I'm done. No, no,

00:21:31.049 --> 00:21:33.589
no. You need to stay so I can get in. You've

00:21:33.589 --> 00:21:42.480
been getting in for 20 minutes. But that's okay.

00:21:42.519 --> 00:21:45.359
You know, God's cool with that. As long as you're

00:21:45.359 --> 00:21:48.680
getting in. But how many know you can get in

00:21:48.680 --> 00:21:50.960
and you're up to your ankles, but he wants you

00:21:50.960 --> 00:21:54.000
to go deeper. He wants you to go further. He

00:21:54.000 --> 00:21:56.700
wants you not to let satisfaction or contentment

00:21:56.700 --> 00:21:59.299
come in a way that you're okay with just staying

00:21:59.299 --> 00:22:02.220
shallow. Let's go a little bit deeper and he'll

00:22:02.220 --> 00:22:04.700
bring you along. Holy Spirit's a gentleman. He'll

00:22:04.700 --> 00:22:07.039
bring you in. He'll bring you along. He'll help

00:22:07.039 --> 00:22:09.539
you and he'll get you in and we'll all be swimming

00:22:09.539 --> 00:22:13.859
together. Come on. Hallelujah. I want to spend

00:22:13.859 --> 00:22:15.740
the rest of our time just drilling down on this

00:22:15.740 --> 00:22:18.079
last part here. And that's this. The river changes

00:22:18.079 --> 00:22:24.619
things. The river changes things. It's changed.

00:22:24.779 --> 00:22:26.819
I don't know about you. I'm different because

00:22:26.819 --> 00:22:29.420
of the river. I'm different because of the river.

00:22:29.500 --> 00:22:32.339
I have a strength in me. I have an anointing

00:22:32.339 --> 00:22:34.680
in me. I have a grace that flows through my life

00:22:34.680 --> 00:22:36.579
because of the river of God flowing. And I'm

00:22:36.579 --> 00:22:40.410
telling you, you will too. And I feel that the

00:22:40.410 --> 00:22:42.230
river needs to, I wanna just drill down and this

00:22:42.230 --> 00:22:44.109
river changes things and pull out a couple of

00:22:44.109 --> 00:22:46.009
things I felt like the Holy Spirit spoke to me

00:22:46.009 --> 00:22:50.069
about y 'all. First of all, the river sets boundaries

00:22:50.069 --> 00:22:53.910
and inheritance. In the Old Testament, whenever

00:22:53.910 --> 00:22:57.130
God talked about his possession and his inheritance

00:22:57.130 --> 00:22:59.630
to Abraham, he said, you're gonna have for a

00:22:59.630 --> 00:23:02.450
possession the land that sits between the great

00:23:02.450 --> 00:23:05.869
river of Egypt and the great river of Euphrates.

00:23:07.119 --> 00:23:11.819
He used rivers to delineate boundaries. And I

00:23:11.819 --> 00:23:13.940
just want to prophesy to you today, in your own

00:23:13.940 --> 00:23:16.759
personal life and even to this house. That the

00:23:16.759 --> 00:23:19.619
river of God is expanding your boundaries and

00:23:19.619 --> 00:23:22.319
expanding the territory of your inheritance.

00:23:22.759 --> 00:23:25.700
He's expanding what is possible, the potential

00:23:25.700 --> 00:23:28.720
of God, that he's working in you. Because the

00:23:28.720 --> 00:23:31.859
river is flowing, he is expanding your possession.

00:23:32.119 --> 00:23:35.660
He's expanding the territory of your inheritance.

00:23:35.880 --> 00:23:38.119
Come on, I believe there's some business people

00:23:38.119 --> 00:23:40.839
that are here that are gonna see some expansion

00:23:40.839 --> 00:23:43.940
of their business, an expansion, new clients,

00:23:44.059 --> 00:23:46.960
new doors, new opportunities. new things that

00:23:46.960 --> 00:23:49.299
are gonna happen. Oh, but Mark, you don't understand

00:23:49.299 --> 00:23:54.759
this COVID economy. The COVID economy must submit

00:23:54.759 --> 00:24:02.599
to the river economy. It has to submit to the

00:24:02.599 --> 00:24:05.660
river economy. The river economy cannot be stopped.

00:24:05.960 --> 00:24:10.359
Once God says it flows, it flows. Once he says

00:24:10.359 --> 00:24:12.720
this is where it's going, that's where it's going.

00:24:12.960 --> 00:24:17.900
And no virus and no chaos and no fear and no

00:24:17.900 --> 00:24:21.559
rebellion and no lawlessness can stop the river

00:24:21.559 --> 00:24:28.119
of God as it begins to flow. You're entering

00:24:28.119 --> 00:24:30.880
into a season of new boundaries and new inheritance.

00:24:31.259 --> 00:24:34.420
New boundaries are being set for new places of

00:24:34.420 --> 00:24:37.480
influence and access. I believe that the river

00:24:37.480 --> 00:24:40.220
of God is going to flow into the University of

00:24:40.220 --> 00:24:43.140
Oregon campus and other places around here. I

00:24:43.140 --> 00:24:45.000
know I've said that before. I'll say it again.

00:24:45.079 --> 00:24:47.859
Do not give up on those kinds of promises. Let

00:24:47.859 --> 00:24:50.339
the river of God create things that were not

00:24:50.339 --> 00:24:53.319
there, open doors that were shut before, and

00:24:53.319 --> 00:24:55.940
create new places of influence and inheritance

00:24:55.940 --> 00:25:00.230
for you. But in order for you to go into those

00:25:00.230 --> 00:25:03.549
new places of inheritance and possess new opportunities,

00:25:03.670 --> 00:25:06.970
you've gotta get and be willing to get out of

00:25:06.970 --> 00:25:11.930
your comfort zone. A life promise and a principle

00:25:11.930 --> 00:25:15.690
of the river, a principle of life is this. Everything

00:25:15.690 --> 00:25:20.029
you want but do not have is outside your comfort

00:25:20.029 --> 00:25:24.890
zone. You wanna go deeper, you've gotta get out

00:25:24.890 --> 00:25:27.079
of your comfort zone. You want to experience

00:25:27.079 --> 00:25:29.079
something new in God, you've got to get out of

00:25:29.079 --> 00:25:32.039
your comfort zone. You've got to be able to step

00:25:32.039 --> 00:25:35.559
into something fresh and something new. And your

00:25:35.559 --> 00:25:38.440
hunger has got to be greater than your fear.

00:25:38.740 --> 00:25:43.019
Your thirst has got to be greater than your hesitancy.

00:25:43.220 --> 00:25:46.339
You need to press through into that new place

00:25:46.339 --> 00:25:49.900
outside your comfort zone. And the river helps

00:25:49.900 --> 00:25:53.480
you also reach new generations, the next generation.

00:25:54.359 --> 00:25:58.400
In Psalm 78, verse 16, it tells the story of

00:25:58.400 --> 00:26:02.980
Moses in the wilderness as God caused water to

00:26:02.980 --> 00:26:07.480
flow out of the rock. It says that he also brought

00:26:07.480 --> 00:26:11.500
streams out of the rock and caused waters to

00:26:11.500 --> 00:26:17.059
run down like rivers. Like rivers in the wilderness,

00:26:17.160 --> 00:26:20.019
in the desert. Out of the rocks came rivers flowing.

00:26:20.359 --> 00:26:22.500
Some of us kind of think of that Bible story

00:26:22.500 --> 00:26:24.660
as though it kind of cracked and a little trickle

00:26:24.660 --> 00:26:26.839
came out. We're talking three million people

00:26:26.839 --> 00:26:30.319
plus and their livestock and animals needed to

00:26:30.319 --> 00:26:35.480
get water. And it ain't gonna take some little

00:26:35.480 --> 00:26:39.180
trickle. It's gonna take rivers flowing. And

00:26:39.180 --> 00:26:42.200
the Bible says that rivers, plural, flowed out

00:26:42.200 --> 00:26:44.599
of that rock. You know what God told Moses to

00:26:44.599 --> 00:26:46.240
do? And I just feel this dropped in my spirit.

00:26:46.619 --> 00:26:49.910
God told Moses, speak to the rock. Some of you

00:26:49.910 --> 00:26:52.190
are facing a rock today. Some of you are facing

00:26:52.190 --> 00:26:54.329
a rock of unemployment. Some of you are facing

00:26:54.329 --> 00:26:56.769
a rock of limitation. Some of you are facing

00:26:56.769 --> 00:26:58.890
a rock of sickness. Some of you are facing a

00:26:58.890 --> 00:27:01.170
rock of hopelessness. Some of you are facing

00:27:01.170 --> 00:27:03.869
a rock of brokenness and things that have just

00:27:03.869 --> 00:27:06.009
shattered around you. Some of you are facing

00:27:06.009 --> 00:27:08.049
the rock of fear and all these other things.

00:27:08.210 --> 00:27:09.910
And I just have a word of the Lord from you.

00:27:09.990 --> 00:27:15.160
Speak to the rock. Speak to the rock. You be

00:27:15.160 --> 00:27:18.920
gone. You break open. That which was dry, let

00:27:18.920 --> 00:27:21.740
it become fruitful. That which was barren, let

00:27:21.740 --> 00:27:25.059
it become fruitful. That which was dry and wasteland,

00:27:25.339 --> 00:27:28.019
let it be flourishing with the river of God.

00:27:28.859 --> 00:27:32.759
Let hope flow. Let power flow. Come on, let that

00:27:32.759 --> 00:27:35.900
fear be gone. Prophesy to that rock. Prophesy

00:27:35.900 --> 00:27:38.220
to that thing that's in your path and let the

00:27:38.220 --> 00:27:43.140
water flow. The river will flow. That story is

00:27:43.140 --> 00:27:46.059
told so that the generations to come might know

00:27:46.059 --> 00:27:50.039
and set their hope in God. It was written and

00:27:50.039 --> 00:27:53.720
recorded so that the next generation would live

00:27:53.720 --> 00:27:56.660
in the river, walk in the river, remember the

00:27:56.660 --> 00:28:00.000
river, and say the river still flows. The river

00:28:00.000 --> 00:28:02.980
is still here. The river is not come and gone,

00:28:03.059 --> 00:28:07.339
and now you're just stuck. Good luck. The river

00:28:07.339 --> 00:28:09.279
is here, and I don't know about you, this generation

00:28:09.279 --> 00:28:12.779
is thirsty for the river of God. And I'm telling

00:28:12.779 --> 00:28:15.240
you, there is a great awakening coming to the

00:28:15.240 --> 00:28:18.140
planet. The Spirit of God is gonna be poured

00:28:18.140 --> 00:28:21.160
out in every nation, every kindred, every tribe,

00:28:21.339 --> 00:28:24.480
red, yellow, brown, black, white. God is gonna

00:28:24.480 --> 00:28:27.140
pour out His Spirit upon the planet and upon

00:28:27.140 --> 00:28:30.180
America. God is gonna bring revival to the church

00:28:30.180 --> 00:28:34.339
in our nation. You're gonna see the Pacific Ocean

00:28:34.339 --> 00:28:36.480
and the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico.

00:28:36.559 --> 00:28:39.440
The rivers and streams and lakes are gonna be

00:28:39.440 --> 00:28:41.759
lined with people that are being baptized in

00:28:41.759 --> 00:28:44.519
water because they've come to know Jesus as he

00:28:44.519 --> 00:28:47.180
begins to move by his spirit. For whoever in

00:28:47.180 --> 00:28:49.759
the last days calls on the name of the Lord shall

00:28:49.759 --> 00:28:55.160
be saved. There's an awakening coming. I wanna

00:28:55.160 --> 00:28:58.759
be there. I don't wanna read about it. I don't

00:28:58.759 --> 00:29:02.509
wanna hear about it. I wanna live it. Do you?

00:29:04.049 --> 00:29:07.289
I want to be in the river when it happens. It's

00:29:07.289 --> 00:29:12.789
for this next generation. I see hundreds of children

00:29:12.789 --> 00:29:17.259
in this altar. kneeling down, being encountered

00:29:17.259 --> 00:29:19.400
by the power and the presence of God, living

00:29:19.400 --> 00:29:21.759
life in the river. Some of them are being healed.

00:29:21.880 --> 00:29:23.500
Some of them are being saved. Some of them are

00:29:23.500 --> 00:29:25.259
being filled with the baptism of the Holy Spirit.

00:29:25.480 --> 00:29:27.500
Some of them are just coming down under the power

00:29:27.500 --> 00:29:29.839
of God, but there is a great awakening and move

00:29:29.839 --> 00:29:32.259
of God that's gonna come even into this house

00:29:32.259 --> 00:29:34.259
and this region with children and young people

00:29:34.259 --> 00:29:36.880
in an incredible move of the Holy Spirit and

00:29:36.880 --> 00:29:43.230
the river of God on the next generation. Jesse

00:29:43.230 --> 00:29:45.190
Joe, I just want to tell you today, and I asked

00:29:45.190 --> 00:29:47.789
you if you were going to be here with us, because

00:29:47.789 --> 00:29:52.509
I believe God has called you to be a leader in

00:29:52.509 --> 00:29:55.390
this move of God. Not when you're a teenager.

00:29:56.589 --> 00:30:00.849
Right now. Right now. You're going to have an

00:30:00.849 --> 00:30:03.779
encounter. With the Holy Spirit, he's gonna show

00:30:03.779 --> 00:30:05.539
you things. The prophetic anointing and the word

00:30:05.539 --> 00:30:07.720
of knowledge is gonna come upon you. You're gonna

00:30:07.720 --> 00:30:10.019
have visions and you're gonna have dreams. Awoke

00:30:10.019 --> 00:30:13.579
dreams, awake dreams. Part of when you're conscious,

00:30:13.680 --> 00:30:16.099
but God's gonna reveal things to you. You're

00:30:16.099 --> 00:30:17.940
gonna see things in the spirit that other people

00:30:17.940 --> 00:30:22.009
will not see. I see you leading the young children

00:30:22.009 --> 00:30:24.289
in worship and then leading them into the baptism

00:30:24.289 --> 00:30:26.990
of the Holy Spirit. That in your own right, you

00:30:26.990 --> 00:30:29.829
shall be a leader of children and you will see

00:30:29.829 --> 00:30:32.490
the mantle of leadership develop and grow as

00:30:32.490 --> 00:30:35.390
you continue to lean into the purpose of God

00:30:35.390 --> 00:30:37.829
in your generation. And there was a scripture

00:30:37.829 --> 00:30:40.349
the Lord gave me for you out of Isaiah chapter

00:30:40.349 --> 00:30:44.470
11. It says, and a little one, a child shall

00:30:44.470 --> 00:30:48.640
lead them. And I believe in this moment and in

00:30:48.640 --> 00:30:51.579
this season and in the next, even now and into

00:30:51.579 --> 00:30:53.859
the future of this house, you'll be one of those

00:30:53.859 --> 00:30:56.599
who will lead in this house in a very powerful

00:30:56.599 --> 00:30:59.559
and specific way. There will be no spirit of...

00:30:59.930 --> 00:31:04.230
of reservation or hesitation. They will recognize

00:31:04.230 --> 00:31:06.869
the touch and hand of God upon you, and you will

00:31:06.869 --> 00:31:09.670
step into a new and fresh expression of the Holy

00:31:09.670 --> 00:31:12.109
Spirit flowing through your life. You will not

00:31:12.109 --> 00:31:14.089
be given to a spirit of fear, but confidence

00:31:14.089 --> 00:31:16.349
and boldness shall be upon you, and you shall

00:31:16.349 --> 00:31:19.990
step into a new realm of expression and walking

00:31:19.990 --> 00:31:24.200
in the river of God in your generation. Miracles

00:31:24.200 --> 00:31:26.099
are gonna surround your life and the gifts of

00:31:26.099 --> 00:31:28.880
healings are gonna flow. As God begins to flow,

00:31:28.940 --> 00:31:30.700
you're gonna lay hands on the sick people and

00:31:30.700 --> 00:31:33.740
they're gonna just miraculously be touched. Even

00:31:33.740 --> 00:31:35.599
as a child, you're gonna see the power and the

00:31:35.599 --> 00:31:43.460
presence of God flowing in your life. The river

00:31:43.460 --> 00:31:47.329
also releases prophetic revelation. The Bible

00:31:47.329 --> 00:31:49.609
says at the beginning of this vision in Ezekiel

00:31:49.609 --> 00:31:52.670
chapter 43 that the voice of the Lord is like

00:31:52.670 --> 00:31:57.410
the sound of many waters. The voice of the Lord

00:31:57.410 --> 00:31:59.869
is the sound. It's the river is in the voice

00:31:59.869 --> 00:32:02.529
and the voice is in the river. His voice will

00:32:02.529 --> 00:32:04.650
be seen and the voice will be heard. And I know

00:32:04.650 --> 00:32:07.210
that this church has been founded in the prophetic

00:32:07.210 --> 00:32:09.630
and has experienced the prophetic and facilitated

00:32:09.630 --> 00:32:15.160
the prophetic clearly and obviously. This phrase

00:32:15.160 --> 00:32:17.200
keeps going over and over in my heart all morning

00:32:17.200 --> 00:32:23.299
long. You ain't seen nothing yet. You haven't

00:32:23.299 --> 00:32:26.279
seen anything yet. I believe a whole army of

00:32:26.279 --> 00:32:29.200
prophets and prophetesses, people with the gift

00:32:29.200 --> 00:32:32.200
of prophecy, the spirit of prophecy on the house

00:32:32.200 --> 00:32:34.859
is gonna deepen to whole other different realms

00:32:34.859 --> 00:32:37.119
and dimensions like you've never known or understood

00:32:37.119 --> 00:32:40.599
before. This scripture keeps coming into my mind

00:32:40.599 --> 00:32:42.519
as well as we move into the next one. The river

00:32:42.519 --> 00:32:45.680
brings the miraculous. No eye has seen, no ear

00:32:45.680 --> 00:32:47.859
has heard, nor has it entered into the heart

00:32:47.859 --> 00:32:49.500
of man the things that the Lord has prepared

00:32:49.500 --> 00:32:52.119
for those that love him. You've seen some incredible

00:32:52.119 --> 00:32:54.119
things here, but I'm telling you, you're gonna

00:32:54.119 --> 00:32:56.500
see miracles on a whole nother level. You're

00:32:56.500 --> 00:32:58.140
going to see miracles in this house that are

00:32:58.140 --> 00:33:00.700
going to be regenerative in nature. I see fingers

00:33:00.700 --> 00:33:03.660
and hands growing. I see toes and feet growing.

00:33:03.880 --> 00:33:06.339
I see things happening. Hopefully hair may be

00:33:06.339 --> 00:33:08.940
growing. Who knows? But I just see God moving

00:33:08.940 --> 00:33:12.079
by an incredible, magnificent hand throughout

00:33:12.079 --> 00:33:15.000
the people of God in an incredible anointing.

00:33:15.039 --> 00:33:17.619
And you've come in jumps and starts, stops and

00:33:17.619 --> 00:33:20.019
starts as you've seen the miracle working power

00:33:20.019 --> 00:33:21.880
of God. But I'm telling you, there is going to

00:33:21.880 --> 00:33:25.460
come a supernatural normalcy, as it were. it

00:33:25.460 --> 00:33:27.480
will not be just every now and then you'll see

00:33:27.480 --> 00:33:30.460
miracles. You'll see them on a regular basis

00:33:30.460 --> 00:33:33.319
and not just here. You're gonna see them in the

00:33:33.319 --> 00:33:35.660
marketplace. You're gonna see them on the campuses

00:33:35.660 --> 00:33:38.319
of the high schools and the college and university.

00:33:38.579 --> 00:33:40.579
You're gonna see them throughout life around

00:33:40.579 --> 00:33:43.559
this region. This place will be known as a fountain

00:33:43.559 --> 00:33:46.259
of the supernatural and people, like in the end

00:33:46.259 --> 00:33:48.299
of the movie, feel the dreams. They will drive

00:33:48.299 --> 00:33:51.480
and the car lights will light the rural highways

00:33:51.480 --> 00:33:54.789
around here as people come to see them. Move

00:33:54.789 --> 00:34:04.049
and experience the river of God. Miraculous healing

00:34:04.049 --> 00:34:08.250
will be here. Valina, I just prayed today. The

00:34:08.250 --> 00:34:09.909
Lord actually spoke this to me last night, but

00:34:09.909 --> 00:34:11.929
told me to wait till the last service, so I'm

00:34:11.929 --> 00:34:17.349
gonna say it now. There has been an invasion

00:34:17.349 --> 00:34:21.570
into your physical being, but I hear the Spirit

00:34:21.570 --> 00:34:25.019
of the Lord saying, It has come this far, it

00:34:25.019 --> 00:34:28.699
will go no further. I saw the Spirit of the Lord

00:34:28.699 --> 00:34:32.300
draw like this line, and then it's just by the

00:34:32.300 --> 00:34:34.900
Spirit of God, this thing began to recede. It

00:34:34.900 --> 00:34:37.400
has invaded, and then I just see God begin to

00:34:37.400 --> 00:34:40.780
push it back. By the name and the Spirit of the

00:34:40.780 --> 00:34:43.179
Lord, there is gonna be a reverse of the curse.

00:34:43.670 --> 00:34:46.329
There is gonna be a shifting. As the waters of

00:34:46.329 --> 00:34:49.130
the Jordan River were rolled back, so shall the

00:34:49.130 --> 00:34:51.210
waters of this thing that has come against you

00:34:51.210 --> 00:34:54.329
be rolled back. And instead of a water of hindrance,

00:34:54.409 --> 00:34:56.889
you're gonna walk in the river of healing. You're

00:34:56.889 --> 00:34:59.250
gonna walk in the river of life. And there will

00:34:59.250 --> 00:35:02.050
be a cancellation of that thing which has been

00:35:02.050 --> 00:35:04.570
declared against you. Who shall believe the report

00:35:04.570 --> 00:35:14.349
of the Lord? I do. I do. This house is going

00:35:14.349 --> 00:35:17.389
to experience a miraculous catch of souls. A

00:35:17.389 --> 00:35:19.750
life -giving atmosphere and a supernatural abundance

00:35:19.750 --> 00:35:22.710
of fruit like you've never seen before. The Bible

00:35:22.710 --> 00:35:25.030
says the trees on the banks give fruit every

00:35:25.030 --> 00:35:28.150
month. That's a supernatural kind of fruitfulness.

00:35:28.409 --> 00:35:31.510
What grass seed farmer around here plants a seed

00:35:31.510 --> 00:35:33.630
in the beginning of the month and reaps the harvest

00:35:33.630 --> 00:35:35.969
on the end of the month and every month sows

00:35:35.969 --> 00:35:38.329
and reaps, sows and reaps, sows and reaps. That's

00:35:38.329 --> 00:35:41.050
miraculous. And you're gonna experience that

00:35:41.050 --> 00:35:44.110
in this season and in this house. A miraculous

00:35:44.110 --> 00:35:49.739
catch of fish and fruit. on the vine. Hallelujah.

00:35:50.940 --> 00:35:56.599
This is the catch. Jesus said, if you want this,

00:35:56.599 --> 00:36:01.219
you want this life in the river? Okay. Then let

00:36:01.219 --> 00:36:07.199
him come to me and drink. Let him come to me

00:36:07.199 --> 00:36:15.239
and drink. Y 'all stand your feet with me. Hopefully

00:36:15.239 --> 00:36:19.699
you got something out of this today. But I believe

00:36:19.699 --> 00:36:26.440
there is a miracle being birthed in the spirit

00:36:26.440 --> 00:36:32.380
in this house today. Not because of me. It's

00:36:32.380 --> 00:36:35.199
funny, the humor of God. He brings several pastors

00:36:35.199 --> 00:36:38.280
to come and work together to see something birthed.

00:36:38.639 --> 00:36:44.159
That's just like God. God's doing something unique

00:36:44.159 --> 00:36:46.559
here. There's something special happening in

00:36:46.559 --> 00:36:49.760
this moment. Someday you'll look back on it and

00:36:49.760 --> 00:36:53.199
go, I don't remember. I remember when this started.

00:36:54.260 --> 00:36:57.940
I was there. I watched that service. I watched

00:36:57.940 --> 00:37:01.739
it online. I was in the room. God did something

00:37:01.739 --> 00:37:04.659
special, something unique. Friend, if you're

00:37:04.659 --> 00:37:07.139
here today and you know in your heart that you're

00:37:07.139 --> 00:37:10.639
far from God, That you're not just standing on

00:37:10.639 --> 00:37:12.219
the bank of the river. You're way back and the

00:37:12.219 --> 00:37:13.920
river's way over there. But listen, there is

00:37:13.920 --> 00:37:17.639
a life and a destiny and a purpose that God has

00:37:17.639 --> 00:37:20.820
created you to fulfill. You can't do it without

00:37:20.820 --> 00:37:25.719
him. All you need to do is receive him into your

00:37:25.719 --> 00:37:32.019
life. Turn from sin and turn to God and embrace

00:37:32.019 --> 00:37:36.039
the living Christ. And miracle will happen in

00:37:36.039 --> 00:37:38.559
your spirit, the Bible says. You will be born

00:37:38.559 --> 00:37:42.159
again and a new life will open up to you. You

00:37:42.159 --> 00:37:47.179
just need to receive it. We all bow our head

00:37:47.179 --> 00:37:49.340
right now. Everybody online, if you're watching,

00:37:49.420 --> 00:37:51.079

00:37:51.079 --> 00:37:53.460
here today or you're watching online and you

00:37:53.460 --> 00:37:55.440

00:37:55.440 --> 00:37:57.960
God is broken. In this moment, I wanna give you

to three and if you're ready to say yes to Jesus,

raise your hand, but I want you to know God loves

00:38:04.579 --> 00:38:07.539
you. His plan for you is beyond your imagination.

00:38:08.219 --> 00:38:11.260
He's ready to set you into the river, set you

00:38:11.260 --> 00:38:13.820
into a place of purpose, set you into a place

00:38:13.820 --> 00:38:16.199

00:38:19.039 --> 00:38:21.880
from your old life and embrace the new life in

00:38:21.880 --> 00:38:25.960
God. And in a moment of faith, you'll be set

00:38:25.960 --> 00:38:29.360
on the right track and in a new life with Jesus.

You just need to say yes to him and receive him.

Maybe you're at ankle deep. Maybe you're just

00:39:55.739 --> 00:39:57.980
kind of dipping your toe in. Maybe you're just

00:39:57.980 --> 00:40:00.059
