WEBVTT 00:00:36.140 --> 00:00:39.240 Glory to God. It is awesome. I'm so grateful 00:00:39.240 --> 00:00:42.539 that you are here today and that we could spend 00:00:42.539 --> 00:00:45.299 time together in the presence of the Lord. And 00:00:45.299 --> 00:00:48.380 there's more for us today. We believe in preaching 00:00:48.380 --> 00:00:51.539 the word of the Lord. Amen. We believe that God 00:00:51.539 --> 00:00:54.939 actually speaks from his scriptures, but he also 00:00:54.939 --> 00:00:58.159 speaks. to our hearts because He's the living 00:00:58.159 --> 00:01:01.280 Word, and we believe in that prophetic gift and 00:01:01.280 --> 00:01:03.780 grace as well. And I know we have a great Word 00:01:03.780 --> 00:01:07.099 that's going to be preached today, and Dr. Venter 00:01:07.099 --> 00:01:09.500 will release that text, but he also has a Word 00:01:09.500 --> 00:01:12.340 from the Lord that the Lord gave him as he was 00:01:12.340 --> 00:01:14.719 praying for our church in this valuable time 00:01:14.719 --> 00:01:18.159 and season of transition. I want us just to open 00:01:18.159 --> 00:01:20.599 our hearts today. I'm going to pray for us, and 00:01:20.599 --> 00:01:23.140 then we're just going to welcome our guest speaker 00:01:23.140 --> 00:01:26.480 and welcome God as He just speaks through His 00:01:26.480 --> 00:01:29.340 chosen vessel. Father, in the name of Jesus this 00:01:29.340 --> 00:01:32.579 morning, we thank You, Lord, for Your presence 00:01:32.579 --> 00:01:34.640 that's already here. And Lord, we just simply 00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:37.980 open our hearts to You to hear the Word of the 00:01:37.980 --> 00:01:41.500 Lord, that which is true and that which is holy 00:01:41.500 --> 00:01:45.250 and that which is pure. Lord, even as you said 00:01:45.250 --> 00:01:47.890 in James 3, that which comes from above is both 00:01:47.890 --> 00:01:52.049 noble and pure. It is true wisdom. It is life 00:01:52.049 --> 00:01:55.290 -giving. And Lord, we receive your word from 00:01:55.290 --> 00:01:57.609 the Scriptures. We thank you so much. We ask 00:01:57.609 --> 00:02:01.769 you to bless and anoint Jan as he brings the 00:02:01.769 --> 00:02:04.069 word of the Lord this morning. But Jesus, we're 00:02:04.069 --> 00:02:08.650 looking to hear from you. Open our ear to hear 00:02:08.650 --> 00:02:11.629 what you're saying to this house and to us personally. 00:02:11.710 --> 00:02:15.520 In Jesus' name. Amen. Amen. Would you welcome 00:02:15.520 --> 00:02:18.099 Dr. Jan Venter as he comes this morning? Come 00:02:18.099 --> 00:02:20.539 on, just give him a big Life Bible welcome. Thank 00:02:20.539 --> 00:02:24.300 you. Thank you. Thank you very much. I love you. 00:02:24.379 --> 00:02:29.400 Love you. Thank you very much. You may be seated. 00:02:29.460 --> 00:02:35.379 Thank you. You know, I want to encourage you 00:02:35.379 --> 00:02:40.360 for tonight's service especially. You know, what 00:02:40.360 --> 00:02:42.539 I like about this church is the fact that they 00:02:42.539 --> 00:02:46.840 honor and recognize the supernatural. And any 00:02:46.840 --> 00:02:49.500 time we come in the presence of God, we must 00:02:49.500 --> 00:02:53.520 recognize that the supernatural is about to happen, 00:02:53.639 --> 00:02:56.479 because God is a supernatural God. So tonight, 00:02:56.699 --> 00:03:00.120 or this afternoon at 5 .30, I believe, when you 00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:02.280 come together, please, if you know of anybody 00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:05.280 that's sick, bring them to the service. We're 00:03:05.280 --> 00:03:09.340 expecting a healing. God is using me in the area 00:03:09.340 --> 00:03:12.560 of healing. And oftentimes, many times, I'm still 00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:15.479 so surprised. I was in Kenya in November. And 00:03:15.479 --> 00:03:18.719 a lady came to us while we were having a business 00:03:18.719 --> 00:03:22.520 meeting. And she came, led in there by somebody 00:03:22.520 --> 00:03:26.020 else, interrupted us. And she was totally blind. 00:03:26.159 --> 00:03:30.620 She had two blind eyes, totally blind. And no 00:03:30.620 --> 00:03:36.889 pupils, just white. They brought her in and said 00:03:36.889 --> 00:03:39.969 that she asked to be brought there because she 00:03:39.969 --> 00:03:42.270 believed God was going to heal her. Will I pray 00:03:42.270 --> 00:03:44.909 for her? And so we interrupted the meeting and 00:03:44.909 --> 00:03:48.349 prayed for her, laid hands on her. I didn't even 00:03:48.349 --> 00:03:50.830 feel an anointing. You know what I'm saying? 00:03:50.949 --> 00:03:54.150 Sometimes you rely so heavily on the anointing. 00:03:54.250 --> 00:03:57.310 This time we just laid hands on her. And when 00:03:57.310 --> 00:04:00.050 I took my hands away, that lady started screaming 00:04:00.050 --> 00:04:03.120 and shouting. God healed her, and what was so 00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:06.060 amazing, she could see, but there were still 00:04:06.060 --> 00:04:09.719 no pupils. I mean, she left there. She could 00:04:09.719 --> 00:04:12.479 actually tell, you know, where certain things 00:04:12.479 --> 00:04:18.220 were with no pupils. Look, God is the healer. 00:04:18.819 --> 00:04:22.180 He's not a healer. He's the healer. Come on, 00:04:22.199 --> 00:04:31.800 give God a praise offer. Normally, when I do 00:04:31.800 --> 00:04:34.759 two services in the morning, I try and do two 00:04:34.759 --> 00:04:38.800 separate messages. But this morning, I find that 00:04:38.800 --> 00:04:42.339 my spirit, the first service that I brought there 00:04:42.339 --> 00:04:45.160 was so important that I'm going to just do the 00:04:45.160 --> 00:04:49.740 same in this next service. I prayed this week 00:04:49.740 --> 00:04:53.160 because for me, like you, It's so important what 00:04:53.160 --> 00:04:55.139 is happening in the transition that is about 00:04:55.139 --> 00:04:57.939 to take place in your church. But I've been praying 00:04:57.939 --> 00:05:00.779 and asking God for a word, and then God gave 00:05:00.779 --> 00:05:04.040 me a phenomenal word. But you know how it is 00:05:04.040 --> 00:05:05.839 with God. When He gives you a word, He always 00:05:05.839 --> 00:05:08.040 gives it in the environment that you're accustomed 00:05:08.040 --> 00:05:10.899 to. You know, He'll give you a word picture or 00:05:10.899 --> 00:05:13.819 a vision, and it'll match what you already know. 00:05:14.329 --> 00:05:16.810 And so I realized when God gave me this word 00:05:16.810 --> 00:05:19.589 that I'll have to first explain to you because 00:05:19.589 --> 00:05:22.850 many of you will not have any idea what I'm talking 00:05:22.850 --> 00:05:26.449 about. I used to have a large ostrich farm in 00:05:26.449 --> 00:05:30.850 Africa. We had over a thousand breeding females. 00:05:31.850 --> 00:05:35.170 And the ostrich is really a phenomenal bird. 00:05:36.069 --> 00:05:38.649 And before I give you this word, I've got to 00:05:38.649 --> 00:05:46.790 explain to you what they do. mating season the 00:05:46.790 --> 00:05:52.350 female will notice the musk on the male on the 00:05:52.350 --> 00:05:55.350 ostrich male when she notices that it's normally 00:05:55.350 --> 00:06:00.449 when his legs turns very red and the redder it 00:06:00.449 --> 00:06:04.589 gets the more dangerous he actually becomes because 00:06:04.589 --> 00:06:08.110 he becomes very protective when she notices that 00:06:08.110 --> 00:06:12.519 she goes and prepares for herself a nest Never 00:06:12.519 --> 00:06:15.699 an old nest that she used the previous year. 00:06:15.899 --> 00:06:19.439 She'll always prepare a new nest. And it's quite 00:06:19.439 --> 00:06:22.620 something to see when she does that because she 00:06:22.620 --> 00:06:25.600 will move her feathers and move her body and 00:06:25.600 --> 00:06:28.660 then dig for herself a shallow hole and then 00:06:28.660 --> 00:06:31.079 line it out, you know, ready for the eggs to 00:06:31.079 --> 00:06:34.420 come. Then as soon as the mating season arrives, 00:06:34.879 --> 00:06:39.160 he will start his dance. It's a dance that is 00:06:39.160 --> 00:06:42.129 really something to see. And he cries out over 00:06:42.129 --> 00:06:45.370 her with a voice of a lion. When you hear the 00:06:45.370 --> 00:06:49.470 ostrich, the cry, the mating cry, and you didn't 00:06:49.470 --> 00:06:51.629 know he was there, you would think it's a lion. 00:06:51.990 --> 00:06:55.529 And so he starts moving his feathers like this, 00:06:55.550 --> 00:06:58.310 standing in one place, just moving his wings 00:06:58.310 --> 00:07:02.069 and his feathers. And then when she is ready, 00:07:02.209 --> 00:07:05.610 she'll approach him. And as she does, she pecks 00:07:05.610 --> 00:07:08.660 the ground, pretends like she's eating. telling 00:07:08.660 --> 00:07:10.740 him that she's ready for that mating moment. 00:07:11.160 --> 00:07:14.800 So having that in mind, I want to read to you 00:07:14.800 --> 00:07:17.839 now the word that God gave me to this church, 00:07:17.920 --> 00:07:21.920 for this church. The Lord said that the Lord 00:07:21.920 --> 00:07:26.339 have approached you and is standing over you 00:07:26.339 --> 00:07:31.160 like an ostrich in the musk season. Yea, the 00:07:31.160 --> 00:07:35.180 Lord is dancing over you to entice you into joining 00:07:35.180 --> 00:07:38.779 him. in the breeding season which is about to 00:07:38.779 --> 00:07:43.480 start. Just as the ostrich who have prepared 00:07:43.480 --> 00:07:46.779 her nest carefully for the laying of eggs, so 00:07:46.779 --> 00:07:50.759 also you have taken time to prepare a nesting 00:07:50.759 --> 00:07:55.360 place for that which will now take place without 00:07:55.360 --> 00:07:58.560 any interference. The Lord noticed the perfection 00:07:58.560 --> 00:08:02.139 and the excellence you've put into preparation 00:08:02.139 --> 00:08:06.420 of this nest. Now just like the ostrich male 00:08:06.420 --> 00:08:09.959 in musk, who will not allow any interference 00:08:09.959 --> 00:08:14.040 in the nest of his bride, but clothes with the 00:08:14.040 --> 00:08:18.720 red of his readiness, even so I am placing guard 00:08:18.720 --> 00:08:23.300 over you with jealousy. My readiness have great 00:08:23.300 --> 00:08:26.939 purpose, and your camp is my camp, says the Lord. 00:08:27.160 --> 00:08:34.029 Your nest is my nest, and no thief... will pluck 00:08:34.029 --> 00:08:37.289 you out of my hand. During this mating season, 00:08:37.629 --> 00:08:42.850 you will each discover your own destiny. To those, 00:08:42.950 --> 00:08:45.950 and God had me put this down specifically, to 00:08:45.950 --> 00:08:50.230 those whom I have called out to be riders, as 00:08:50.230 --> 00:08:53.190 the ostrich male in musk will produce his chicks, 00:08:53.409 --> 00:08:58.269 so I will release over you key words and phrases 00:08:58.269 --> 00:09:03.120 that will make the concepts easy to grasp. There 00:09:03.120 --> 00:09:07.139 will be a series of how -to books like God's 00:09:07.139 --> 00:09:11.980 Answer for Pain and Rejection. You have an anointing 00:09:11.980 --> 00:09:15.320 for cities and regions, and it will be like the 00:09:15.320 --> 00:09:18.279 turning of magnets to attract what God wants 00:09:18.279 --> 00:09:22.220 to come together, but also to repel the wrong 00:09:22.220 --> 00:09:26.080 things that God wants repelled. God is going 00:09:26.080 --> 00:09:29.440 to release you for your purpose during this time 00:09:29.440 --> 00:09:33.610 of nesting. Some of you, have had a desire for 00:09:33.610 --> 00:09:37.830 missions. Now during this musk season, I will 00:09:37.830 --> 00:09:42.429 impregnate you for that purpose. Many of you 00:09:42.429 --> 00:09:44.809 will learn how to work smarter and not harder. 00:09:45.429 --> 00:09:50.210 And so the Lord would say, the shift is on. A 00:09:50.210 --> 00:09:54.070 generation will be born out of you. I'm going 00:09:54.070 --> 00:09:58.009 to give you young men, young women, even foreign 00:09:58.009 --> 00:10:00.450 ministries that are going to come to this nest. 00:10:01.159 --> 00:10:04.460 And you will go to theirs, and you will train 00:10:04.460 --> 00:10:07.519 and develop and raise up a whole new generation 00:10:07.519 --> 00:10:10.799 of men and women that will operate in the same 00:10:10.799 --> 00:10:14.399 unction, the same anointing. Look at my dance, 00:10:14.539 --> 00:10:17.659 says the Lord. Lift your eyes up to the Lord 00:10:17.659 --> 00:10:21.059 your God, and see my eagerness to come to your 00:10:21.059 --> 00:10:24.960 nest. Notice the red on my legs, which is the 00:10:24.960 --> 00:10:28.000 blood of the Lamb, which serves as an invitation 00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:32.269 to you. And a warning to your enemies. For your 00:10:32.269 --> 00:10:36.129 nest is my nest, says the Lord. And to Pastor 00:10:36.129 --> 00:10:41.870 Brad, this word. My son, I hold before you the 00:10:41.870 --> 00:10:45.929 keys that you've asked for. Many have requested 00:10:45.929 --> 00:10:49.809 these keys. But they were unable to carry them 00:10:49.809 --> 00:10:54.149 and use them effectively. They've been left behind 00:10:54.149 --> 00:10:58.529 because so many of them decided to pursue fame. 00:10:59.049 --> 00:11:02.990 And fortune of their own. These are keys to unlock. 00:11:03.830 --> 00:11:07.090 Not only my power through revelation authority. 00:11:08.389 --> 00:11:11.509 But these are keys to unlock the prison houses 00:11:11.509 --> 00:11:15.570 of my children. Who are living as slaves. Keys 00:11:15.570 --> 00:11:18.830 to free those who have previously been produced 00:11:18.830 --> 00:11:22.070 by my word. But who are now living in fear. Living 00:11:22.070 --> 00:11:27.169 in drought. Living in distress. These keys will 00:11:27.169 --> 00:11:31.250 unlock the destiny. and the gifts of many. And 00:11:31.250 --> 00:11:34.509 as I spoke to you before and confirmed by my 00:11:34.509 --> 00:11:37.669 prophets, I will give you the keys to unlock 00:11:37.669 --> 00:11:41.909 ministries in this nest that will reach into 00:11:41.909 --> 00:11:45.470 the furthest parts of the earth. But just like 00:11:45.470 --> 00:11:49.429 this price tag on the keys, remember, there's 00:11:49.429 --> 00:11:53.570 a price to pay, Brad. I've already communicated 00:11:53.570 --> 00:11:58.179 that with you about this price. Do not pick them 00:11:58.179 --> 00:12:03.460 up without knowing and understanding there's 00:12:03.460 --> 00:12:08.700 a price for this nest, for these keys, for this 00:12:08.700 --> 00:12:13.419 privilege, and for this task. And I pray that 00:12:13.419 --> 00:12:17.659 you will all, you know, lift your pastors and 00:12:17.659 --> 00:12:21.200 the leadership up as they decide that they could 00:12:21.200 --> 00:12:25.509 actually carry these keys. And use them to unlock 00:12:25.509 --> 00:12:33.789 the destiny of many in this church. Amen. Come 00:12:33.789 --> 00:12:44.210 on, just praise Him. Come on, just praise Him. 00:12:44.230 --> 00:13:02.960 My God. Oh, Lord. Oh, my God. You know, I haven't 00:13:02.960 --> 00:13:05.360 done this in the first service, but remain standing 00:13:05.360 --> 00:13:08.539 for a moment. I wonder if the elders and the 00:13:08.539 --> 00:13:11.759 leadership and the other pastors can come. In 00:13:11.759 --> 00:13:13.679 fact, I'd like the other pastors to come stand 00:13:13.679 --> 00:13:16.500 with Pastor and Jenny right here. And then come 00:13:16.500 --> 00:13:19.240 elders. Come and just lay your hands on them. 00:13:19.759 --> 00:13:22.240 Spiritual men in the church, just come quickly. 00:13:22.480 --> 00:13:24.919 And come and surround them. In fact, some of 00:13:24.919 --> 00:13:26.919 the prayer warriors in the church, will you come? 00:13:27.889 --> 00:13:30.029 Hallelujah. The board of the church, you know, 00:13:30.049 --> 00:13:32.929 the deacons come and just surround them. We want 00:13:32.929 --> 00:13:36.629 to pray for them. Glory to God. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. 00:13:37.669 --> 00:13:40.309 Stretch your hands out. Come, Brian. I want you 00:13:40.309 --> 00:13:42.450 to pray. Where's that microphone? Give me the 00:13:42.450 --> 00:13:44.549 microphone. Here. There's a microphone there. 00:13:44.850 --> 00:13:47.970 Glory to God. Somebody just grab that microphone, 00:13:48.169 --> 00:13:51.330 please. I want you to pray over pastor. Glory 00:13:51.330 --> 00:14:02.490 to God. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Yes. Father, 00:14:07.230 --> 00:14:10.210 we recognize Pastor Brad and Pastor Jenny and 00:14:10.210 --> 00:14:13.889 the leadership in this house. Yes. I pray and 00:14:13.889 --> 00:14:16.669 I am of the laity here, Lord. We are so appreciative, 00:14:16.909 --> 00:14:19.190 Lord. That you would put the stature and the 00:14:19.190 --> 00:14:21.909 character in this house, Lord. It has been by 00:14:21.909 --> 00:14:25.330 your doing and your hand. So, Father, we pray 00:14:25.330 --> 00:14:27.710 that the dunamis power that is in your hand, 00:14:27.830 --> 00:14:30.669 Father, that is in your name, be released, Father. 00:14:31.009 --> 00:14:33.769 You have extended your mighty hand to give these 00:14:33.769 --> 00:14:36.750 keys, Father. We pray, Father, for an uncommon. 00:14:37.689 --> 00:14:40.350 strength, Father, and an uncommon wisdom, Father, 00:14:40.549 --> 00:14:44.049 that which is of heaven, Lord, not found in universities, 00:14:44.230 --> 00:14:46.769 Lord. God, we ask that you would just release 00:14:46.769 --> 00:14:49.529 the fullness of all that is in your intention, 00:14:49.750 --> 00:14:52.809 all that is in your heart for Pastor Brad and 00:14:52.809 --> 00:14:54.929 Jenny and the leaders that surround them, Lord. 00:14:55.070 --> 00:14:58.299 Hallelujah. We ask, Father, as in Deuteronomy 00:14:58.299 --> 00:15:00.960 28, Lord, that you yourself, Father, mighty God, 00:15:01.159 --> 00:15:03.480 would command the blessing. Father, that you 00:15:03.480 --> 00:15:05.919 would command the blessing that the storehouses 00:15:05.919 --> 00:15:10.279 of this house be made full, Lord. And, Father, 00:15:10.419 --> 00:15:14.799 we ask, Lord, in the times to come, Lord, God, 00:15:14.899 --> 00:15:17.720 that you would give answers, Father. You would 00:15:17.720 --> 00:15:19.740 give wisdom and you would give strength, Father. 00:15:20.000 --> 00:15:23.750 And, Lord, God Almighty. Father, that you would 00:15:23.750 --> 00:15:26.289 lift their eyes above the horizon line, Lord, 00:15:26.330 --> 00:15:28.870 that that which we can see, Lord, that we think 00:15:28.870 --> 00:15:31.529 we can attain, Lord, Father, that your vision 00:15:31.529 --> 00:15:34.840 is so much more. God, I pray that... Lord, you 00:15:34.840 --> 00:15:36.919 would just give them a new anointing. Father, 00:15:37.039 --> 00:15:39.679 I pray that you would send the angels of heaven, 00:15:39.759 --> 00:15:42.139 Lord, that are standing by for this very purpose, 00:15:42.240 --> 00:15:45.299 Father, with a fresh mantle, a fresh mantle of 00:15:45.299 --> 00:15:48.480 anointing upon Pastor Brad and upon Pastor Jenny, 00:15:48.700 --> 00:15:51.240 upon the eldership of this house, Father, the 00:15:51.240 --> 00:15:54.340 staff. Lord, that there would be unity that would 00:15:54.340 --> 00:15:58.000 be pleasing to you, Lord. There would be just 00:15:58.000 --> 00:16:01.340 a oneness in this house, Father. Lord, as you 00:16:01.340 --> 00:16:05.340 would look down, Father, With a smile on your 00:16:05.340 --> 00:16:08.379 face, Father. With, Lord, excitement about the 00:16:08.379 --> 00:16:10.820 season to come, Lord. That what you've called 00:16:10.820 --> 00:16:13.440 them to do, Father. They have been faithful stewards, 00:16:13.720 --> 00:16:16.100 Lord. And that you would lead them further, Father. 00:16:16.480 --> 00:16:19.460 And that when we look over our shoulder, Lord. 00:16:19.679 --> 00:16:22.340 At what has been done, Father. That we will glorify 00:16:22.340 --> 00:16:25.399 your name. And we will say, wow. Lord, you would 00:16:25.399 --> 00:16:29.620 wow us. Yes, Lord. Amen. Hallelujah. Come, Pastor 00:16:29.620 --> 00:16:31.799 Ron. Come and stand right here in front of Pastor. 00:16:31.960 --> 00:16:35.740 Come here. I watched. Pastor Ron, this week when 00:16:35.740 --> 00:16:39.840 I was moving around here, busy at that building, 00:16:40.039 --> 00:16:44.279 and I saw him blossom. How many of you have seen 00:16:44.279 --> 00:16:47.960 that? He's actually blossoming. He's actually 00:16:47.960 --> 00:16:51.100 doing what he's really called for. Kenny, come 00:16:51.100 --> 00:16:54.360 here. Pray over Pastor Ron, will you? Go ahead. 00:16:54.960 --> 00:16:59.610 Hallelujah. Yes, Lord. Father, we thank you for 00:16:59.610 --> 00:17:01.529 the new things that you're doing. Lord, for the 00:17:01.529 --> 00:17:04.289 new work. Lord, just like the work you're doing 00:17:04.289 --> 00:17:06.049 with the new building. Father, you started a 00:17:06.049 --> 00:17:08.730 work in Pastor Ron's life. Father, we thank you 00:17:08.730 --> 00:17:11.250 that we've watched it unfold. But Lord, the glory 00:17:11.250 --> 00:17:13.690 of what you're doing is just beginning to happen 00:17:13.690 --> 00:17:15.809 with Ron. Lord, I thank you for the new gifts. 00:17:15.950 --> 00:17:18.009 Lord, I thank you for the new growth. Lord, I 00:17:18.009 --> 00:17:20.029 thank you for the new things that are coming 00:17:20.029 --> 00:17:22.029 out of his life. And Lord, I praise you that 00:17:22.029 --> 00:17:25.210 even in this season, even today, Lord, he's recognizing 00:17:25.210 --> 00:17:29.089 the new heart, the new vision. the new purpose 00:17:29.089 --> 00:17:30.829 that you've given them. Lord, I thank you for 00:17:30.829 --> 00:17:33.089 greater things. Lord, I thank you for greater 00:17:33.089 --> 00:17:35.289 increase. Lord, I thank you for greater wisdom. 00:17:35.630 --> 00:17:38.210 Father, in every area, Lord, greater wisdom, 00:17:38.309 --> 00:17:41.130 Lord, greater reach, greater influence, Father 00:17:41.130 --> 00:17:44.490 God, in Jesus' name. Greater influence, Father, 00:17:44.569 --> 00:17:47.329 in Jesus' name. Now, just blessings, Lord, over 00:17:47.329 --> 00:17:50.049 him, over his children, Father, in Jesus' name. 00:17:50.109 --> 00:17:52.150 You've heard his prayers. Lord, children that 00:17:52.150 --> 00:17:54.230 honor and serve you, Lord, I just thank you. 00:17:54.450 --> 00:17:56.650 Thank you for the work you're doing in Jesus' 00:17:56.829 --> 00:18:01.349 name. Amen. Amen. Thank you. You may be seated. 00:18:01.670 --> 00:18:03.269 Do you have something you want to say, Pastor? 00:18:04.130 --> 00:18:08.609 Praise God. As you're seated, take your Bibles, 00:18:08.630 --> 00:18:10.930 please. I'm going to share just very briefly. 00:18:11.069 --> 00:18:13.630 I'm not going to preach long. I never preach 00:18:13.630 --> 00:18:19.849 longer than what it takes. Take your Bibles and 00:18:19.849 --> 00:18:23.920 please turn with me to the book of Numbers. to 00:18:23.920 --> 00:18:26.680 continue and conclude the Word that God has given 00:18:26.680 --> 00:18:31.359 me for you. Numbers chapter 15, and we start 00:18:31.359 --> 00:18:34.160 in verse 37. As you turn there, just to give 00:18:34.160 --> 00:18:37.660 you a little bit of insight into this chapter. 00:18:38.720 --> 00:18:42.640 This was a new time, a new season for the Israelites. 00:18:43.119 --> 00:18:46.900 They had just been brought out of Egypt. They're 00:18:46.900 --> 00:18:50.759 now following and pursuing a new destiny. God 00:18:50.759 --> 00:18:55.180 had laid down his laws to them. It became very 00:18:55.180 --> 00:18:58.500 important. You'll remember that they were so 00:18:58.500 --> 00:19:01.900 confused. They were such a confused people. They 00:19:01.900 --> 00:19:05.240 had no problem worshiping around a golden calf 00:19:05.240 --> 00:19:07.920 because that's what they learned after generations 00:19:07.920 --> 00:19:11.880 of being apart from God. God then instructed 00:19:11.880 --> 00:19:15.119 Moses with the law. He came back and told the 00:19:15.119 --> 00:19:18.970 people, this is what God wants. You understand? 00:19:19.089 --> 00:19:22.750 We have to know what does God want. Come on, 00:19:22.750 --> 00:19:26.029 can you say an amen? Say it with me. Say, we 00:19:26.029 --> 00:19:31.950 must know what God wants. And so here in this 00:19:31.950 --> 00:19:34.710 chapter, before we start reading, one of the 00:19:34.710 --> 00:19:38.650 men in the camp went on a Sunday, or I mean on 00:19:38.650 --> 00:19:41.150 a Sabbath day, which was a Saturday. He went 00:19:41.150 --> 00:19:45.349 on the Sabbath day and collected sticks. The 00:19:45.349 --> 00:19:49.079 people knew it was wrong. They knew it was offensive, 00:19:49.240 --> 00:19:52.180 not something they were accustomed to yet. And 00:19:52.180 --> 00:19:54.539 so what they did is they took the man, didn't 00:19:54.539 --> 00:19:58.119 know what to do with him. They took him to Moses 00:19:58.119 --> 00:20:02.980 saying, you know, he defiled the law. Don't know 00:20:02.980 --> 00:20:06.000 what to do with him. Moses himself really didn't 00:20:06.000 --> 00:20:08.420 know yet what to do. Went to God, what should 00:20:08.420 --> 00:20:12.539 I do with this man? God said, kill him. And so 00:20:12.539 --> 00:20:16.269 after this had all been done, The man was stoned 00:20:16.269 --> 00:20:20.470 according to the command of God. In verse 37, 00:20:20.710 --> 00:20:24.650 chapter 15, verse 37, read with me. The Lord 00:20:24.650 --> 00:20:30.190 spoke to Moses, saying, Speak to the children 00:20:30.190 --> 00:20:35.529 of Israel and bid them, that means instruct them, 00:20:35.730 --> 00:20:39.849 that they make them fringes in the borders of 00:20:39.849 --> 00:20:42.509 their garments throughout their generations. 00:20:43.780 --> 00:20:47.460 and that they put upon the fringe of the borders 00:20:47.460 --> 00:20:52.619 a ribbon of blue. I want to just use that this 00:20:52.619 --> 00:20:55.220 morning, and we'll read a bit further now, but 00:20:55.220 --> 00:20:59.119 God wanted them to put on the borders of their 00:20:59.119 --> 00:21:01.799 garment a ribbon of blue. I'm going to use that 00:21:01.799 --> 00:21:05.640 as a title, the ribbon of blue. And he said, 00:21:05.680 --> 00:21:10.859 it shall be unto you for a fringe that you may 00:21:10.859 --> 00:21:16.569 look upon it. That you may remember it and all 00:21:16.569 --> 00:21:19.009 the commandments of the Lord and do them. Say 00:21:19.009 --> 00:21:25.450 that we may look upon it. Remember it. And do 00:21:25.450 --> 00:21:32.990 it. Let's do that again. Say. Let's do that again. 00:21:36.519 --> 00:21:38.839 You know, at this point in time, let me just 00:21:38.839 --> 00:21:42.539 finish my reading. And God says, and that you 00:21:42.539 --> 00:21:46.220 may do them and that you seek not after your 00:21:46.220 --> 00:21:51.380 own heart, after your own eyes, after which you 00:21:51.380 --> 00:21:55.500 used to go a -whoring, that you may remember 00:21:55.500 --> 00:22:00.619 and do all my commandments and be holy unto your 00:22:00.619 --> 00:22:05.009 God. I am the Lord your God which brought you 00:22:05.009 --> 00:22:10.009 out of the land of Egypt. To be your God, I am 00:22:10.009 --> 00:22:15.569 the Lord your God. Very important at this point 00:22:15.569 --> 00:22:18.509 in time when God spoke to them and said, You 00:22:18.509 --> 00:22:22.549 have to make sure that you hang that ribbon of 00:22:22.549 --> 00:22:28.990 blue so that you may retain your identity. You 00:22:28.990 --> 00:22:30.670 understand? That's what it's all about. Say, 00:22:30.750 --> 00:22:32.970 that's what it's all about. You understand? You 00:22:32.970 --> 00:22:36.910 cannot, we cannot lose our identity. We must 00:22:36.910 --> 00:22:40.750 always understand that we are walking with God. 00:22:40.869 --> 00:22:44.069 Anytime you walk with God, it is very important 00:22:44.069 --> 00:22:49.190 that you note that it's got to be His way all 00:22:49.190 --> 00:22:52.019 the time. You understand, we're living in a time 00:22:52.019 --> 00:22:55.059 today when so many churches have totally lost 00:22:55.059 --> 00:22:57.700 their identity. So many Christians have lost 00:22:57.700 --> 00:23:00.599 their identity. They don't know anymore who they 00:23:00.599 --> 00:23:05.539 are. We are not like the world. Yes? We're separate 00:23:05.539 --> 00:23:09.440 people. We're still... Living under the instructions 00:23:09.440 --> 00:23:13.059 of the Lord our God. We've got to do things His 00:23:13.059 --> 00:23:16.619 way. And at this point in time, when God is about 00:23:16.619 --> 00:23:20.660 to move you into the nest, as it were. I like 00:23:20.660 --> 00:23:23.519 that name. When God is moving you into the nest. 00:23:24.019 --> 00:23:28.480 And you're preparing for the mating season, as 00:23:28.480 --> 00:23:32.339 it were. That you must remember, don't lose your 00:23:32.339 --> 00:23:36.309 identity. You must understand that as you transition 00:23:36.309 --> 00:23:39.690 from here to there, so many churches, I've seen 00:23:39.690 --> 00:23:42.670 it many, many times, they lose their identity. 00:23:42.869 --> 00:23:45.369 They once used to be a worshiping church. Now 00:23:45.369 --> 00:23:47.789 they go to a big facility, and there they don't 00:23:47.789 --> 00:23:51.170 know how to act and behave. Don't lose your identity. 00:23:51.829 --> 00:23:53.670 Come and look at somebody and say, we're not 00:23:53.670 --> 00:23:59.250 going to lose our identity. Not only so, but 00:23:59.250 --> 00:24:01.950 you understand, last night or the night before, 00:24:02.680 --> 00:24:05.599 I challenged you if you were here. You remember 00:24:05.599 --> 00:24:10.200 when I spoke about the salt. Jesus said, you 00:24:10.200 --> 00:24:14.819 are salt. You understand? Don't forget that you 00:24:14.819 --> 00:24:20.180 are salt. We hold the balancing factor. We have 00:24:20.180 --> 00:24:24.099 that identity as to who we are. We're not just 00:24:24.099 --> 00:24:28.380 a church. We're not just a congregation. We should 00:24:28.380 --> 00:24:32.079 not see any greatness in moving to that facility. 00:24:32.920 --> 00:24:35.759 We can do it under a brush arbor and God with 00:24:35.759 --> 00:24:38.680 us, it will still have the same effect. It's 00:24:38.680 --> 00:24:40.960 just something that God has blessed you with. 00:24:41.279 --> 00:24:44.880 To get yourself a nest and ready for that which 00:24:44.880 --> 00:24:48.579 prophetically God says you are now going to encounter. 00:24:48.900 --> 00:24:51.599 The thing that impressed me with this church 00:24:51.599 --> 00:24:56.119 so much the very first time I came here. When 00:24:56.119 --> 00:24:59.640 I came here, I found you to be a praying church. 00:25:01.400 --> 00:25:04.660 That's what impressed me, a praying church. Brian, 00:25:04.720 --> 00:25:06.700 when I came here first, I saw the prayer room 00:25:06.700 --> 00:25:09.579 in the back. And I saw how people were praying. 00:25:10.839 --> 00:25:14.680 I remember you leading it, you know, the praying 00:25:14.680 --> 00:25:17.039 church. I went away here and I said, my God, 00:25:17.200 --> 00:25:20.640 they're unique. It should not be, but you are 00:25:20.640 --> 00:25:23.119 unique. There's so many churches that no longer 00:25:23.119 --> 00:25:25.920 are praying churches. But that's what makes you 00:25:25.920 --> 00:25:29.240 stand out. You're a praying church. And when 00:25:29.240 --> 00:25:32.400 I challenged the people on last night about prayer. 00:25:32.720 --> 00:25:36.460 About uniting with other denominations for prayer. 00:25:37.299 --> 00:25:40.740 I should have been surprised when pastor got 00:25:40.740 --> 00:25:45.940 up. And he told us. He told the people. Well 00:25:45.940 --> 00:25:50.380 what Jan doesn't know. I really should have known 00:25:50.380 --> 00:25:54.490 that. But he said what Jan does not know. Is 00:25:54.490 --> 00:25:57.670 that we already have plans. And we already spoke 00:25:57.670 --> 00:26:00.490 to other groups. And it's already in the working. 00:26:00.730 --> 00:26:03.069 And it's already happening. I'll tell you why 00:26:03.069 --> 00:26:07.930 I should have not been surprised. Because that's 00:26:07.930 --> 00:26:11.750 your identity. I should expect nothing less. 00:26:12.609 --> 00:26:15.049 And you understand your connection with other 00:26:15.049 --> 00:26:17.869 churches. You should become and you will become 00:26:17.869 --> 00:26:22.119 a forerunner in this community. In the area of 00:26:22.119 --> 00:26:25.940 prayer. Let it be known. That the Bible church 00:26:25.940 --> 00:26:28.579 is not just somebody that have a great facility. 00:26:28.740 --> 00:26:32.099 But let it be known. This is a church that bases 00:26:32.099 --> 00:26:35.180 everything upon prayer. Influence the nation. 00:26:35.359 --> 00:26:37.980 Come on give God a praise offering. Yeah Lord. 00:26:38.160 --> 00:26:44.980 That's what it's all about. That's our identity. 00:26:46.079 --> 00:26:48.980 Last night when I tested the church. You know, 00:26:49.000 --> 00:26:51.200 many churches I go to and I ask them to pray. 00:26:51.460 --> 00:26:55.059 You're going to go into an uneasy time of silence. 00:26:56.200 --> 00:26:58.700 You ask the church to pray. I mean, it just seems 00:26:58.700 --> 00:27:00.680 like they're going to hang their heads and they 00:27:00.680 --> 00:27:04.180 don't know what to do next. I was absolutely 00:27:04.180 --> 00:27:06.859 blessed last night when I said, let's take some 00:27:06.859 --> 00:27:09.680 time to pray. And all of a sudden, I had to struggle 00:27:09.680 --> 00:27:13.539 to get the service back because they were praying 00:27:13.539 --> 00:27:17.049 so much. That's really how it should be. That's 00:27:17.049 --> 00:27:20.250 our identity. Don't lose your identity. Come 00:27:20.250 --> 00:27:22.069 on, say it. We're not going to lose our identity. 00:27:22.630 --> 00:27:25.349 You understand? You're also a worshiping church. 00:27:26.009 --> 00:27:29.549 And the new facility, I'm told, pastor told me, 00:27:29.589 --> 00:27:33.410 the board told me before when I was here, we're 00:27:33.410 --> 00:27:39.700 designing that church for sound. It's designed 00:27:39.700 --> 00:27:43.720 for sound. Why? It's because you're a worshiping 00:27:43.720 --> 00:27:46.839 church. That's who you are. You're going to excel 00:27:46.839 --> 00:27:49.519 in worship like never before. You're going to 00:27:49.519 --> 00:27:52.779 become known as the praying church and the worshiping 00:27:52.779 --> 00:27:55.339 church. People will come in there and be changed 00:27:55.339 --> 00:27:57.599 just through your worship. Come on, give God 00:27:57.599 --> 00:28:02.759 a praise offering. Glory to God. Yes! Somebody 00:28:02.759 --> 00:28:11.880 praise Him. Glory to God. Glory to God. And it's 00:28:11.880 --> 00:28:15.680 already working. When I was in India, I had the 00:28:15.680 --> 00:28:18.160 smuckers, you know, just watch the smuckers. 00:28:18.880 --> 00:28:25.420 Just absolutely influence India. India with worship. 00:28:26.319 --> 00:28:28.859 They told me, you know, the first time they went 00:28:28.859 --> 00:28:30.759 there with a guitar. You know, they just happened 00:28:30.759 --> 00:28:33.539 to leave the guitars behind for those people. 00:28:33.799 --> 00:28:37.519 Now, it's a regular thing. They're coming from 00:28:37.519 --> 00:28:46.339 your church. group of people. What should I call 00:28:46.339 --> 00:28:52.460 you? From this ribbon of blue. Went over there 00:28:52.460 --> 00:28:55.539 and now it's a regular thing. They now have a 00:28:55.539 --> 00:28:59.140 worship school. So influence them. You understand? 00:28:59.359 --> 00:29:01.980 This is what God said in this prophecy this morning. 00:29:02.380 --> 00:29:04.579 It's going to happen more and more. You're going 00:29:04.579 --> 00:29:06.900 to go to the outermost parts of the earth. But 00:29:06.900 --> 00:29:09.779 let your identity be held very close to your 00:29:09.779 --> 00:29:13.180 heart. And that when you hear what God is doing, 00:29:13.220 --> 00:29:16.400 that you remember what he said. Remember it. 00:29:16.900 --> 00:29:20.480 Look upon it. And then do what God said you should 00:29:20.480 --> 00:29:24.319 do. Get involved. Say, get involved. Now finally, 00:29:24.500 --> 00:29:27.460 you understand, our identity is not just connected 00:29:27.460 --> 00:29:30.539 to this church. But our identity is connected 00:29:30.539 --> 00:29:33.700 as children of God. You understand? We're children 00:29:33.700 --> 00:29:36.660 of God. Come on, say it. We're children of God. 00:29:39.519 --> 00:29:45.319 Don't lose your identity in this world of generality. 00:29:46.819 --> 00:29:52.700 One world order. New world order. Everything 00:29:52.700 --> 00:29:56.589 in this whole world today is the same. Except 00:29:56.589 --> 00:29:59.529 when you go from one church to another. It just 00:29:59.529 --> 00:30:02.509 seems like everyone is just doing their own thing. 00:30:03.910 --> 00:30:06.250 And here and there, there's some churches that 00:30:06.250 --> 00:30:11.849 just excel. And others try and match them. It's 00:30:11.849 --> 00:30:15.650 like the Reading Church in Bethel here in California. 00:30:17.029 --> 00:30:19.470 The church is all over the nation now, flying 00:30:19.470 --> 00:30:22.450 in from all over the world. I remember Bill Johnson 00:30:22.450 --> 00:30:25.049 in the very early hours when he had nothing like 00:30:25.049 --> 00:30:27.630 that going. I met with him, sat with him around 00:30:27.630 --> 00:30:30.750 the table. And he shared with me his vision. 00:30:31.710 --> 00:30:36.450 This was way, way back. Now today, it's happening. 00:30:37.549 --> 00:30:41.950 You understand what I'm saying is, learn to understand 00:30:41.950 --> 00:30:45.069 that you are no longer just going to be followers. 00:30:46.009 --> 00:30:48.730 You're going to develop your own identity more 00:30:48.730 --> 00:30:51.829 and more. And others will come to you to come 00:30:51.829 --> 00:30:54.490 and match themselves. Because there's going to 00:30:54.490 --> 00:30:56.829 be an anointing that will be shared worldwide. 00:30:57.309 --> 00:30:59.970 I remember years ago when I was with Yonggi Chow. 00:31:00.250 --> 00:31:02.450 Yonggi Chow told me something really profound. 00:31:02.650 --> 00:31:05.509 When he said, Jan, you have to learn to walk 00:31:05.509 --> 00:31:09.170 with giants. You know, when you walk with people 00:31:09.170 --> 00:31:11.930 with smaller steps, it's easy to walk with them. 00:31:12.329 --> 00:31:16.309 You don't have to exert yourself. When you walk 00:31:16.309 --> 00:31:20.259 with giants. They take large steps. And it's 00:31:20.259 --> 00:31:23.140 time that you learn. You know, God, help us to 00:31:23.140 --> 00:31:26.079 walk with giants. My God, help us to stretch 00:31:26.079 --> 00:31:29.200 our strides. Because not too long from now, you're 00:31:29.200 --> 00:31:31.240 going to find out that God is going to put you 00:31:31.240 --> 00:31:33.900 in a high place. Your tent is going to be in 00:31:33.900 --> 00:31:36.920 a wide place. And God is giving you an enormous 00:31:36.920 --> 00:31:39.359 challenge. And as I said, there's a price to 00:31:39.359 --> 00:31:43.039 pay. Are you all willing to pay that price? Come 00:31:43.039 --> 00:31:50.710 on, give God a praise offering. And then finally, 00:31:50.930 --> 00:31:54.970 our identity is that of a Pentecostal movement. 00:31:56.130 --> 00:32:00.170 Yes? Charismatic. Influenced by the Holy Spirit. 00:32:02.230 --> 00:32:05.829 Don't forget that. Don't ever forget who you 00:32:05.829 --> 00:32:10.069 are. You must understand that in our midst, we 00:32:10.069 --> 00:32:13.329 make it our business to hear what is God saying. 00:32:14.329 --> 00:32:17.190 Make it our business to stand aside. I liked 00:32:17.190 --> 00:32:19.589 it this morning when I said to Pastor, Can we 00:32:19.589 --> 00:32:21.789 do this and this and that? And his answer to 00:32:21.789 --> 00:32:24.230 me was, hey, let's wait until we get there and 00:32:24.230 --> 00:32:26.369 see how the Holy Spirit flows. You understand? 00:32:26.670 --> 00:32:30.529 That's our identity. We go according to what 00:32:30.529 --> 00:32:35.250 God says. Our lives are being changed. We carry 00:32:35.250 --> 00:32:38.130 with us the ribbon of blue. The ribbon of blue 00:32:38.130 --> 00:32:40.670 speaks of holiness. That's the color of heaven. 00:32:41.349 --> 00:32:45.630 It's the color of God. If you carry that ribbon 00:32:45.630 --> 00:32:48.789 with you, You must understand that you live a 00:32:48.789 --> 00:32:54.230 clean life. Yes. We live a holy life. Doesn't 00:32:54.230 --> 00:32:57.190 mean we look down on other people. But we ask 00:32:57.190 --> 00:33:02.230 God, Lord, how should I live my life? Come on, 00:33:02.230 --> 00:33:06.250 church. Don't lose who you are. In fact, excel 00:33:06.250 --> 00:33:11.089 in who you are and watch God take you and walk 00:33:11.089 --> 00:33:15.059 with you to your new nest. Stand on your feet 00:33:15.059 --> 00:33:16.740 and give God a hand clap of praise. Will you 00:33:16.740 --> 00:33:22.720 glory to God. Come on, just praise Him. Hallelujah. 00:33:24.259 --> 00:33:27.980 Come on, just praise Him, my God. Hallelujah. 00:33:30.400 --> 00:33:38.380 Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah. My God. Hallelujah. 00:33:42.559 --> 00:33:48.259 Glory to God. Hallelujah. Just lift your hands 00:33:48.259 --> 00:33:52.920 up like this for a moment. Say, God, don't let 00:33:52.920 --> 00:33:58.579 me become confused. Let my identity, come on, 00:33:58.579 --> 00:34:02.900 say it out loud. Let my identity be clearly seen 00:34:02.900 --> 00:34:09.300 by others and also by me that I may look upon 00:34:09.300 --> 00:34:14.130 it. And that I may remember your words. And that 00:34:14.130 --> 00:34:18.349 I may do it with all my might. In the name of 00:34:18.349 --> 00:34:21.849 Jesus. I'm going to give an invitation here. 00:34:21.889 --> 00:34:24.250 Just look at me, please. The altar call. And 00:34:24.250 --> 00:34:27.409 I want to give it like this. It's very important 00:34:27.409 --> 00:34:31.110 as you stand there that you must recognize something 00:34:31.110 --> 00:34:34.030 may happen. Something may have already happened 00:34:34.030 --> 00:34:37.349 that distracted you. I remember one time, you 00:34:37.349 --> 00:34:42.469 know, I was distracted with money. And I almost 00:34:42.469 --> 00:34:46.949 lost my identity. God had to bring me back. We 00:34:46.949 --> 00:34:49.690 get distracted. As you stand here this morning 00:34:49.690 --> 00:34:52.909 in this church, very important that you say, 00:34:52.929 --> 00:34:58.050 God, don't let me forget who I am. I am not like 00:34:58.050 --> 00:35:02.030 the rest of the people at my work. I am not like 00:35:02.030 --> 00:35:05.030 the rest of the people in the world. I am blood 00:35:05.030 --> 00:35:09.409 washed. Spirit filled. A child of the most high 00:35:09.409 --> 00:35:11.429 God. Come on, give him a hand clap of praise. 00:35:11.530 --> 00:35:22.849 That's who you are. Amen. If you have been distracted 00:35:22.849 --> 00:35:30.730 or you've lost ground, you've grown cold, you've 00:35:30.730 --> 00:35:34.570 allowed yourself to just be consumed by things 00:35:34.570 --> 00:35:37.880 around you. It's time for you, following this 00:35:37.880 --> 00:35:41.099 word that God gave you today, it's time, say 00:35:41.099 --> 00:35:44.280 it's time. It's time for you to say, I'm coming 00:35:44.280 --> 00:35:49.159 back to who I am. You're a child of God. Live 00:35:49.159 --> 00:35:53.260 like God wants you to live. Don't go home today 00:35:53.260 --> 00:35:58.400 without making a new solemn decision. God, please 00:35:58.400 --> 00:36:04.139 let me remember who I am. Don't start your days 00:36:04.139 --> 00:36:07.099 like you used to in the last few days or weeks. 00:36:07.280 --> 00:36:11.019 You start your day with just no prayer. You hardly 00:36:11.019 --> 00:36:14.199 read the Bible anymore. You've just gone on to 00:36:14.199 --> 00:36:19.139 automation. And it's not good. Seek the Lord 00:36:19.139 --> 00:36:22.320 with all your heart and with all your might. 00:36:22.699 --> 00:36:25.119 When you go out of church here today and this 00:36:25.119 --> 00:36:32.920 week and for the rest of your days, Ribbon of 00:36:32.920 --> 00:36:38.400 blue. Your identity. As to who you are. So in 00:36:38.400 --> 00:36:41.119 just a few seconds now. I'm going to ask you 00:36:41.119 --> 00:36:43.940 to come out. And this is the way I do it. I ask 00:36:43.940 --> 00:36:46.699 you to do it with everybody looking. You know 00:36:46.699 --> 00:36:50.539 why? This is your house. Say it. This is my house. 00:36:51.539 --> 00:36:56.400 Say it again. This is my house. You know the 00:36:56.400 --> 00:37:00.000 world intimidates the Christians out there. You're 00:37:00.000 --> 00:37:01.639 not going to allow yourself to be intimidated 00:37:01.639 --> 00:37:04.400 in this house. Because this is your house. And 00:37:04.400 --> 00:37:06.659 even if you're a visitor here this morning. Or 00:37:06.659 --> 00:37:09.300 you're not a member of this church. Doesn't matter. 00:37:09.760 --> 00:37:12.539 This is still your house. The moment you walk 00:37:12.539 --> 00:37:15.159 through that door. This is your father's house. 00:37:15.239 --> 00:37:18.000 So that makes this your house. You should not 00:37:18.000 --> 00:37:22.179 allow yourself to be discouraged. For fear of 00:37:22.179 --> 00:37:24.440 what will other people say. Maybe you have been 00:37:24.440 --> 00:37:29.199 very involved in ministry. Now. God speaks to 00:37:29.199 --> 00:37:32.780 you here this morning. Then don't stay back because 00:37:32.780 --> 00:37:37.960 of pride. It's very important that other people 00:37:37.960 --> 00:37:42.260 say and see. It's not just happening to them. 00:37:43.360 --> 00:37:48.500 It's happening to all of us. Say it's time. Now, 00:37:48.559 --> 00:37:51.019 I'm going to ask you if you feel you need prayer. 00:37:51.849 --> 00:37:54.030 Will you just, and people will clap hands as 00:37:54.030 --> 00:37:56.050 you come out. Will you walk out and come and 00:37:56.050 --> 00:37:58.170 stand right here in front of me right now. In 00:37:58.170 --> 00:38:00.429 front of everybody. Just walk out. Clap hands 00:38:00.429 --> 00:38:03.130 for them. Come and stand here and say, God, change 00:38:03.130 --> 00:38:08.869 my heart. Change my ways. Come stand real close. 00:38:10.389 --> 00:38:20.719 Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Glory to God. Wow. Come 00:38:20.719 --> 00:38:23.320 on. They're still coming. Clap hands for them. 00:38:23.360 --> 00:38:27.840 Glory to God. Hallelujah. Stand real tight. Because 00:38:27.840 --> 00:38:30.780 there's many people. Stand real tight. Shoulder 00:38:30.780 --> 00:38:35.039 to shoulder. Glory to God. You know what I love? 00:38:35.599 --> 00:38:37.579 And they're still coming. Clap hands for them. 00:38:37.619 --> 00:38:40.920 Don't stop. Clap hands. Even for the late comers. 00:38:46.159 --> 00:38:50.440 Now the prayer warriors are coming. I want only 00:38:50.440 --> 00:38:53.980 one person behind each. And please put two hands 00:38:53.980 --> 00:38:56.619 on their shoulders standing behind them. Come. 00:38:56.760 --> 00:38:59.599 Just one person. And then put both your hands 00:38:59.599 --> 00:39:02.960 on their shoulders. I need some more here. Yeah, 00:39:02.960 --> 00:39:06.400 pastor will stand behind this tall man. Glory 00:39:06.400 --> 00:39:08.880 to God. Make sure they all have one person behind 00:39:08.880 --> 00:39:16.019 them. Glory to God. Glory to God. If you still 00:39:16.019 --> 00:39:19.460 need prayer, you can also still come. There'll 00:39:19.460 --> 00:39:23.639 be somebody for you. Glory to God. Now, don't 00:39:23.639 --> 00:39:26.239 pray for them yet. But this is what I want you 00:39:26.239 --> 00:39:31.500 to do. I just want you to lean forward and speak 00:39:31.500 --> 00:39:34.139 in that person's ear in front of you and tell 00:39:34.139 --> 00:39:36.699 them who it is that's standing behind them. Go 00:39:36.699 --> 00:39:40.679 ahead. Just tell them. Introduce yourself. Glory 00:39:40.679 --> 00:39:47.639 to God. Maybe they already know. Now. Let's pray. 00:39:47.699 --> 00:39:51.519 You that are standing here, look at me. I know. 00:39:52.440 --> 00:39:54.940 I mean, I can look at you, just give you one 00:39:54.940 --> 00:39:59.000 look, and I can tell you are a child of God. 00:40:00.239 --> 00:40:03.460 And we all realize that what you're here for 00:40:03.460 --> 00:40:06.500 is just to get your priorities back in order. 00:40:07.900 --> 00:40:11.219 Because we lose our sense of priority. That's 00:40:11.219 --> 00:40:14.159 all it is. And then before you know it, you lose 00:40:14.159 --> 00:40:18.030 your identity. So we're going to pray, and I 00:40:18.030 --> 00:40:20.230 want you to pray out loud when I ask you. I'll 00:40:20.230 --> 00:40:22.909 pray first, then I want you to pray. I know you 00:40:22.909 --> 00:40:26.550 can pray on your own, but just in childlikeness, 00:40:26.670 --> 00:40:29.590 follow me. Let's pray. Heavenly Father, I come 00:40:29.590 --> 00:40:32.329 to you this morning, and I know that as they 00:40:32.329 --> 00:40:35.789 come and stand before you, just like I've done 00:40:35.789 --> 00:40:41.110 many times myself, I want to ask for a miracle 00:40:41.110 --> 00:40:44.409 here today. I want to ask you, oh God, will you 00:40:44.409 --> 00:40:48.030 change their hearts? And when they go home today, 00:40:48.170 --> 00:40:55.510 give them a new sense of priority. Give them 00:40:55.510 --> 00:41:01.530 a new sense of value. And Lord, help them to 00:41:01.530 --> 00:41:06.750 come alive in this upcoming nesting that's now 00:41:06.750 --> 00:41:11.289 going to happen. Let their eyes see and recognize 00:41:11.289 --> 00:41:15.530 the dance of the Holy Spirit in front of them. 00:41:16.300 --> 00:41:21.400 Ready to bring and come to their nest. Now you 00:41:21.400 --> 00:41:23.900 that are standing here, say these prayers. Say 00:41:23.900 --> 00:41:29.699 it. Say it out loud. Say, Jesus, I ask forgiveness. 00:41:31.059 --> 00:41:34.360 Now can you say that on your own? Just say it. 00:41:38.719 --> 00:41:43.239 Please forgive me for everything I've done wrong. 00:41:45.260 --> 00:41:49.500 Just the way that I started my day. The way I 00:41:49.500 --> 00:41:53.639 ended my days. It's all become one big mess at 00:41:53.639 --> 00:42:00.400 times. Now I ask you to change my heart. I accept 00:42:00.400 --> 00:42:03.960 my forgiveness right now. I will not go home 00:42:03.960 --> 00:42:07.800 with guilt. But I will go home knowing that you've 00:42:07.800 --> 00:42:13.789 heard my cry. In Jesus name. Will you please 00:42:13.789 --> 00:42:16.210 turn that person around and face the person and 00:42:16.210 --> 00:42:18.429 pray with them right now. Go ahead and just do 00:42:18.429 --> 00:42:30.070 that. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you.
