Now, 00:00:20.140 --> 00:00:24.600 enjoy this week's message. Let's give the Lord 00:00:24.600 --> 00:00:28.260 a big hand clap of praise. He's worthy. Come 00:00:28.260 --> 00:00:31.070 on, give Him a shout. The Word says... Clap your 00:00:31.070 --> 00:00:34.030 hands, all you people, and shout to the Lord 00:00:34.030 --> 00:00:41.289 with a voice of triumph. Hallelujah. Glory, glory, 00:00:41.469 --> 00:00:43.350 glory. Look at your neighbor and just say, whoa. 00:00:45.270 --> 00:00:50.049 Yeah. Y 'all going to be good rednecks before 00:00:50.049 --> 00:00:57.810 we're done. I want you to know there's a lot 00:00:57.810 --> 00:01:02.439 of places that When we go minister, it's work. 00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:06.359 And then there's some places you get to go minister, 00:01:06.420 --> 00:01:09.579 it feels like you're home with family. This is 00:01:09.579 --> 00:01:13.780 not one of those places, but... No, I'm kidding. 00:01:15.959 --> 00:01:22.560 It is very, very, very much. We like Brad and 00:01:22.560 --> 00:01:38.900 we love Jenny. There we go. Pastor Grace, I assigned 00:01:38.900 --> 00:01:42.430 her this duty. got to get him on a plane right 00:01:42.430 --> 00:01:46.250 after the service. So if you have not had a chance 00:01:46.250 --> 00:01:50.090 to get one of the books that are out there, there's 00:01:50.090 --> 00:01:53.069 about a 20 to 25 minute window. So while he's 00:01:53.069 --> 00:01:56.250 preaching, he's not going to be offended if you 00:01:56.250 --> 00:01:58.290 go to the bookstore. You go anywhere else, he's 00:01:58.290 --> 00:02:01.250 going to be offended. But the reality is that 00:02:01.250 --> 00:02:02.909 is going to be open. We've got to be able to 00:02:02.909 --> 00:02:05.569 get him what's left over and get him on a plane. 00:02:05.730 --> 00:02:07.730 So if you want to do that, the bookstore, Pastor 00:02:07.730 --> 00:02:10.849 Grace is out there. Thank you, my friend. We 00:02:10.849 --> 00:02:28.490 love Brad. Hallelujah. You know, this is a very 00:02:28.490 --> 00:02:30.789 special place to me, and I really do. Thank you, 00:02:30.789 --> 00:02:36.039 Tony, for vouching for us. opening this door. 00:02:36.180 --> 00:02:39.960 This is a very special place for the Lord in 00:02:39.960 --> 00:02:44.539 this region. And this conference that we've just 00:02:44.539 --> 00:02:50.039 come out of has been probably one of the best 00:02:50.039 --> 00:02:54.560 ones I've ever been a part of as far as even 00:02:54.560 --> 00:02:59.159 different streams coming together, creating a 00:02:59.159 --> 00:03:01.560 river for Holy Spirit to begin to flow through. 00:03:02.509 --> 00:03:07.270 And if you were not at the conference this few 00:03:07.270 --> 00:03:11.949 days, shame on you. No, I'm kidding, kind of. 00:03:12.689 --> 00:03:17.009 And it was, you know, it wasn't one of these 00:03:17.009 --> 00:03:19.270 conferences to where you just come and, you know, 00:03:19.289 --> 00:03:23.650 you're being poured into. It was a lot of shifting 00:03:23.650 --> 00:03:27.210 and transition going on in individuals' lives, 00:03:27.310 --> 00:03:34.080 in the body as a whole. giving greater clarity 00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:39.340 of the assignment of house. Amen. And individuals 00:03:39.340 --> 00:03:42.580 that are in the house as well. See, we have to 00:03:42.580 --> 00:03:47.780 remember that we're a body. Amen. Sometimes we 00:03:47.780 --> 00:03:50.020 lose sight of that and there's not a lot of preaching 00:03:50.020 --> 00:03:52.439 on that, but we have to remember we are a body 00:03:52.439 --> 00:03:57.580 and each of you have a very specific part to 00:03:57.580 --> 00:04:03.159 play in the success of this body. Amen? Because 00:04:03.159 --> 00:04:05.580 it's not individual assignments. It's a corporate 00:04:05.580 --> 00:04:08.840 assignment that God is really, really identifying 00:04:08.840 --> 00:04:13.280 so that you can see your city, your region, and 00:04:13.280 --> 00:04:16.139 this nation come into the prophetic alignment 00:04:16.139 --> 00:04:19.439 that God has for it. Amen? To me, that's very 00:04:19.439 --> 00:04:23.439 exciting to know that God has chosen by an act 00:04:23.439 --> 00:04:28.519 of his own will to include us in the... Taking 00:04:28.519 --> 00:04:34.779 back process of the earth. Hallelujah. We're 00:04:34.779 --> 00:04:41.980 not spectators. Amen. We are participators. Glory. 00:04:43.000 --> 00:04:45.019 That made me hungry. I thought of sweet taters. 00:04:45.040 --> 00:04:51.040 Hallelujah. If we're going to see our children, 00:04:51.120 --> 00:04:54.339 our grandchildren live in a land that we have 00:04:54.339 --> 00:04:57.540 grown up in, that's the... land of the free and 00:04:57.540 --> 00:04:59.600 the home of the brave, a land where they can 00:04:59.600 --> 00:05:02.259 speak their mind and have many opportunities 00:05:02.259 --> 00:05:05.920 to be wrong and to be right without consequence 00:05:05.920 --> 00:05:10.779 other than learning. We have to do our part in 00:05:10.779 --> 00:05:15.420 the preserving of this beautiful land that God 00:05:15.420 --> 00:05:18.139 has given us. There is no nation on earth like 00:05:18.139 --> 00:05:21.980 America. I don't say that because I'm just an 00:05:21.980 --> 00:05:25.800 American. I say that because I'm a Southern American. 00:05:28.040 --> 00:05:33.019 And we really make this nation great. Y 'all 00:05:33.019 --> 00:05:36.800 do too. Every part of this country is so unique. 00:05:38.040 --> 00:05:45.139 And we're blinded sometimes because of the goodness 00:05:45.139 --> 00:05:49.100 that we have here. Do you realize you live in 00:05:49.100 --> 00:05:54.279 the freest nation in the world? We don't know 00:05:54.279 --> 00:05:56.680 what it means to be under the hand of communism, 00:05:56.759 --> 00:06:01.600 but we're very, very close. We're good at sticking 00:06:01.600 --> 00:06:04.019 our head in the sand and saying, well, if I can't 00:06:04.019 --> 00:06:09.399 see it, it can't see me. See, one of the problems 00:06:09.399 --> 00:06:16.899 with ease is it makes us lazy. We take for granted 00:06:16.899 --> 00:06:21.100 those things that we've grew up with. We're in 00:06:21.100 --> 00:06:24.689 a generation now that, that many of them just 00:06:24.689 --> 00:06:27.350 have had everything they wanted handed to them 00:06:27.350 --> 00:06:31.410 for the most part. But the thing, Tony, that 00:06:31.410 --> 00:06:33.310 gets me, and it's probably the same with you, 00:06:33.470 --> 00:06:37.490 I go to many nations of the world and I have 00:06:37.490 --> 00:06:41.810 people without fail in every nation come up to 00:06:41.810 --> 00:06:45.990 me and they say, Greg, we are praying for America. 00:06:48.009 --> 00:06:50.689 Other people in other nations. Now, for an American, 00:06:51.819 --> 00:06:56.459 You know, we're prideful people. Maybe not in 00:06:56.459 --> 00:07:01.579 Oregon, but in the South, we really are. We love, 00:07:01.879 --> 00:07:03.980 we're prideful people, and we think there's no 00:07:03.980 --> 00:07:07.199 nation like America, and there's not. We think 00:07:07.199 --> 00:07:09.439 that we've got this and nobody's messing with 00:07:09.439 --> 00:07:15.240 us, but they are. Right? They're not coming at 00:07:15.240 --> 00:07:19.519 us from the outside trying to get in at the moment. 00:07:19.579 --> 00:07:22.699 They're planning it. But what they're doing is 00:07:22.699 --> 00:07:26.899 they're trying to eat us alive from the inside 00:07:26.899 --> 00:07:32.899 like a cancer. And the world sees it. And the 00:07:32.899 --> 00:07:36.639 world is afraid. And they come to me, first time 00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:40.839 it happened to me, I think it was probably maybe 00:07:40.839 --> 00:07:43.439 six, seven years ago. And I was in Australia. 00:07:44.879 --> 00:07:48.459 And this couple came up to me and they said, 00:07:48.459 --> 00:07:50.459 with tears in their eyes, they said, Greg, we... 00:07:50.639 --> 00:07:53.519 We're praying for America. We love America. We're 00:07:53.519 --> 00:07:55.680 praying for you because we know if you fall, 00:07:55.920 --> 00:08:00.579 we fall. If America defaults, we're done. The 00:08:00.579 --> 00:08:03.060 rest of the world is done. I literally have had 00:08:03.060 --> 00:08:05.759 this happen in every nation that I've been to. 00:08:07.620 --> 00:08:10.620 And I begin to, it really messed with me, Brad. 00:08:10.699 --> 00:08:14.500 I was like, in an emotional way, I was like. 00:08:14.910 --> 00:08:18.149 There are people that are praying for America 00:08:18.149 --> 00:08:22.029 from other nations and Americans aren't even 00:08:22.029 --> 00:08:27.410 praying for ourselves. We've got to shift this 00:08:27.410 --> 00:08:31.589 thing. We've got to move ourselves into a place 00:08:31.589 --> 00:08:34.649 to where we're taking a greater responsibility 00:08:34.649 --> 00:08:38.990 for our country. And I begin to ask the Father, 00:08:39.110 --> 00:08:42.409 how do we do that? What is the... What is the 00:08:42.409 --> 00:08:46.049 remedy for America? Now, we all know Jesus, hallelujah. 00:08:46.190 --> 00:08:49.450 Yeah, we know that's the remedy. He is the answer. 00:08:49.549 --> 00:08:53.809 But how do we get him manifested in our country 00:08:53.809 --> 00:08:57.850 in a way that gives him permission through us, 00:08:57.870 --> 00:09:02.909 his church, to be able to save and restore America 00:09:02.909 --> 00:09:06.590 back to her prophetic assignment? How do we do 00:09:06.590 --> 00:09:10.639 that? And as I'm praying into this, I just hear 00:09:10.639 --> 00:09:14.279 the Lord saying, I must have a strong church. 00:09:15.980 --> 00:09:21.120 I must have a strong people. I must have a prevailing 00:09:21.120 --> 00:09:26.379 church. A church that's willing to lay it all 00:09:26.379 --> 00:09:35.320 down. See, church has become a safe space. Testing. 00:09:38.059 --> 00:09:40.679 This should be the most dangerous place in your 00:09:40.679 --> 00:09:45.259 community. People come to church to feel safe. 00:09:45.399 --> 00:09:48.519 God forbid Brad say something that offends you. 00:09:48.580 --> 00:09:52.179 You're not coming back for six weeks. Not y 'all. 00:09:52.279 --> 00:09:57.860 This is your example for the people online. Or 00:09:57.860 --> 00:10:03.000 people quit giving. We've come to a place that 00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:09.240 we are saying, okay, preacher. I dare you, bless 00:10:09.240 --> 00:10:13.580 me if you can. Give me a word to encourage me. 00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:15.600 My life's hell. Give me something that I can 00:10:15.600 --> 00:10:18.620 hang on to. I don't think you can, but give it 00:10:18.620 --> 00:10:23.899 a shot. Now again, not y 'all. I want to make 00:10:23.899 --> 00:10:29.519 that very clear. Amen. And what we have done, 00:10:29.679 --> 00:10:33.200 we have allowed circumstances and situations. 00:10:34.710 --> 00:10:37.769 To be a louder voice and to be a stronger voice 00:10:37.769 --> 00:10:41.149 in our life that has derailed us from our assignment. 00:10:42.909 --> 00:10:45.889 But we're getting back on track. Am I right? 00:10:46.379 --> 00:10:48.460 We're getting back on track and we're going to 00:10:48.460 --> 00:10:51.480 see God do this. We're going to be that prevailing 00:10:51.480 --> 00:10:54.580 church. I gave a definition of what prevailing 00:10:54.580 --> 00:10:57.620 means or to prevail means the other night. I'll 00:10:57.620 --> 00:11:00.139 give it to you again this morning. It means to 00:11:00.139 --> 00:11:03.919 gain ascendancy through strength and superiority. 00:11:06.500 --> 00:11:15.509 Forceful church. A violent church. Amen. The 00:11:15.509 --> 00:11:18.429 kingdom of heaven suffers violence and the violent 00:11:18.429 --> 00:11:32.110 take it by force. We've had a girly church. A 00:11:32.110 --> 00:11:40.929 sissy church. Sometimes a sassy church, but sissy 00:11:40.929 --> 00:11:46.000 sassy kind of, you know. We need a masculine 00:11:46.000 --> 00:11:50.759 church to begin to arise again. And I believe 00:11:50.759 --> 00:11:54.720 that men are coming back into the place of leadership 00:11:54.720 --> 00:11:59.779 in the church. Amen. Yeah, go ahead and give 00:11:59.779 --> 00:12:08.299 the Lord a big clap for that one. And I just 00:12:08.299 --> 00:12:12.240 want to say, ladies, thank you for hanging on. 00:12:13.639 --> 00:12:18.000 And keeping this thing in the womb of Holy Spirit 00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:23.259 until men halfway lost their retardation and 00:12:23.259 --> 00:12:25.539 got back into alignment with what we're supposed 00:12:25.539 --> 00:12:31.779 to be doing. Amen. Oh, I just felt that might 00:12:31.779 --> 00:12:34.899 have offended somebody. That's all right. You'll 00:12:34.899 --> 00:12:45.179 get over it. We're too easily offended. We need 00:12:45.179 --> 00:12:49.940 a church that is ascending through strength and 00:12:49.940 --> 00:12:52.539 superiority. You can't do that unless you know 00:12:52.539 --> 00:12:59.340 you got it. You are superior above every other 00:12:59.340 --> 00:13:05.419 force in the earth. You're superior. You're not 00:13:05.419 --> 00:13:08.600 competing. There is no competition for a victorious 00:13:08.600 --> 00:13:13.139 church. And we are victorious. And the foundation 00:13:13.139 --> 00:13:14.960 of that is the death, burial, and resurrection 00:13:14.960 --> 00:13:18.700 of our Lord and Savior, Yeshua. Amen. That gives 00:13:18.700 --> 00:13:21.220 you superiority. It's not out of your own strength 00:13:21.220 --> 00:13:24.299 or our knowledge or our theology or our associations. 00:13:24.419 --> 00:13:29.700 It's because of what Yeshua did. He died. He 00:13:29.700 --> 00:13:32.559 went into the earth. He rose again after three 00:13:32.559 --> 00:13:36.200 days. He walked around the earth for 40 days, 00:13:36.259 --> 00:13:39.379 Jerusalem area, telling people about the kingdom. 00:13:41.360 --> 00:13:43.500 Acts chapter one, verses one to three, that's 00:13:43.500 --> 00:13:48.139 what he did. He was seen by hundreds of people 00:13:48.139 --> 00:13:51.019 after his resurrection and hundreds of people 00:13:51.019 --> 00:13:55.299 who were dead were seen with him resurrected. 00:13:57.620 --> 00:14:01.519 Can you imagine Uncle Sylvester coming knocking 00:14:01.519 --> 00:14:05.580 on the door after he's been gone for about 30 00:14:05.580 --> 00:14:10.029 years? Probably not looking as good as he did 00:14:10.029 --> 00:14:17.409 when he left, but maybe better. Hopefully the 00:14:17.409 --> 00:14:20.730 glorified body was better. But the supernatural 00:14:20.730 --> 00:14:23.980 act around that, People that had been in the 00:14:23.980 --> 00:14:28.299 grave, that had been dead from the time of Adam 00:14:28.299 --> 00:14:32.299 to the time of Yeshua's resurrection came out 00:14:32.299 --> 00:14:35.200 of Abraham's bosom and walked around Jerusalem. 00:14:35.320 --> 00:14:40.500 How much more testimony do we need? Powerful. 00:14:42.139 --> 00:14:46.019 Hallelujah. This is the victory. Jesus didn't 00:14:46.019 --> 00:14:49.009 just say, I'm coming out of the grave. He's saying, 00:14:49.090 --> 00:14:52.350 I'm emptying Abraham's bosom. I'm bringing them 00:14:52.350 --> 00:15:00.789 with me. Glory. We have strength through his 00:15:00.789 --> 00:15:05.190 resurrection. We have authority and positioning 00:15:05.190 --> 00:15:10.330 because of his ascension. Him sitting down at 00:15:10.330 --> 00:15:13.350 the right hand of the Father and sending Holy 00:15:13.350 --> 00:15:18.539 Spirit to fill us and to live in us. The word 00:15:18.539 --> 00:15:24.259 prevail, it also means to use persuasion successfully. 00:15:25.799 --> 00:15:27.639 How many of you know Paul told the Corinthians 00:15:27.639 --> 00:15:29.779 church to have in a readiness to revenge all 00:15:29.779 --> 00:15:32.480 disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled? 00:15:33.039 --> 00:15:38.779 Amen. Following Jesus is not for people who have 00:15:38.779 --> 00:15:44.159 more space than matter up here. You gotta be 00:15:44.159 --> 00:15:48.470 thinkers. You have to be processors. You have 00:15:48.470 --> 00:15:52.149 to be people that are strong mentally. Amen. 00:15:52.850 --> 00:15:54.830 You may say, Greg, but my wife's not been that. 00:15:54.909 --> 00:15:57.970 I mean, my family members are not that way. They're 00:15:57.970 --> 00:16:00.970 not strong mentally. Well, God can give you the 00:16:00.970 --> 00:16:04.730 mind of Christ. Amen. See, when you lose your 00:16:04.730 --> 00:16:07.409 thinking and take on his thinking, there's nothing 00:16:07.409 --> 00:16:10.669 you can't do. We heard a little bit of that this 00:16:10.669 --> 00:16:14.500 week. Family, we've got to be people that are 00:16:14.500 --> 00:16:19.419 able to persuade. Whenever Paul got before, who 00:16:19.419 --> 00:16:21.980 was it, Festus? I believe, was it Festus, Tony? 00:16:22.299 --> 00:16:26.799 Not the one on gun smoke, the other one. And 00:16:26.799 --> 00:16:31.120 he said, you've almost persuaded me. We've got 00:16:31.120 --> 00:16:37.059 to be able to form an argument for what we believe 00:16:37.059 --> 00:16:41.740 in and what we... Come together to celebrate. 00:16:41.799 --> 00:16:44.960 We've got to be able to defend that among the 00:16:44.960 --> 00:16:49.000 lost and among the heathen. Do you believe that? 00:16:49.460 --> 00:16:51.620 That's why it's important, like Paul told Timothy. 00:16:51.840 --> 00:16:54.620 He said, Timothy, study to show yourself approved, 00:16:54.779 --> 00:16:57.480 a workman that needed not to be ashamed, rightly 00:16:57.480 --> 00:17:01.980 dividing the word of truth. Amen? You've got 00:17:01.980 --> 00:17:04.400 to be in the word. You've got to know the word, 00:17:04.500 --> 00:17:07.039 learn the word, speak the word, be a people of 00:17:07.039 --> 00:17:11.539 the word. Why? It's because kings rule by their 00:17:11.539 --> 00:17:18.480 words. Hallelujah. The word prevail also means 00:17:18.480 --> 00:17:24.480 to be frequent. You've got to show up. Amen. 00:17:25.380 --> 00:17:28.440 You can't stay home and watch Brad preach in 00:17:28.440 --> 00:17:33.759 your pajamas drinking hot cider. You need to 00:17:33.759 --> 00:17:36.099 show up. Now, if you're in the room, you know 00:17:36.099 --> 00:17:37.920 I'm not talking to you, those of you that are 00:17:37.920 --> 00:17:47.160 online. Where are you? This is work. This is 00:17:47.160 --> 00:17:49.779 not a vacation. This is not a social club. This 00:17:49.779 --> 00:17:52.220 is not a country club. This is not a place where 00:17:52.220 --> 00:17:54.859 you just come to get spiritually motivated. This 00:17:54.859 --> 00:17:57.500 is a place where when we come together, one has 00:17:57.500 --> 00:18:00.380 a psalm, one has a hymn, one has a tongue, one 00:18:00.380 --> 00:18:03.180 has an interpretation. The gifts of Holy Spirit 00:18:03.180 --> 00:18:05.599 are flowing. Commissionings are coming. And when 00:18:05.599 --> 00:18:08.480 we leave outside those doors to go to our prospective 00:18:08.480 --> 00:18:13.000 places, we are leaving on an assignment. Hallelujah. 00:18:13.799 --> 00:18:16.160 We're not leaving weak. We're not leaving feeble. 00:18:16.220 --> 00:18:18.579 We're not leaving defeated or depressed. We are 00:18:18.579 --> 00:18:22.019 leaving charged up by the Spirit of the Lord, 00:18:22.119 --> 00:18:25.420 ready to cause the kingdoms of this world to 00:18:25.420 --> 00:18:33.220 become the kingdoms of our God. Woo! It's very 00:18:33.220 --> 00:18:35.700 essential that we understand that a prevailing 00:18:35.700 --> 00:18:40.380 church is the church that Jesus built. Amen? 00:18:41.200 --> 00:18:46.170 It's an enduring church. It's a church that is 00:18:46.170 --> 00:18:52.049 anchored in the kingdom. Anchored in the kingdom. 00:18:52.990 --> 00:18:56.170 Jesus said in Matthew 16 and 18, he declared 00:18:56.170 --> 00:18:59.089 there, I will build my church and the gates of 00:18:59.089 --> 00:19:05.089 hell will not prevail. Endurance begins with 00:19:05.089 --> 00:19:07.970 an understanding of who we are corporately in 00:19:07.970 --> 00:19:16.329 Christ. We're not a fragile institution. My Lord. 00:19:17.170 --> 00:19:20.250 If the church had hide, it'd probably be elephant 00:19:20.250 --> 00:19:27.509 hide. We're thick skinned and we're tough. Amen. 00:19:27.869 --> 00:19:31.130 We're not this weak institution, this fragile 00:19:31.130 --> 00:19:34.269 institution that the enemy can come and destroy 00:19:34.269 --> 00:19:38.430 at any act of his own will. No, no, no. We are 00:19:38.430 --> 00:19:45.349 thick skinned. We are. the manifestation of God's 00:19:45.349 --> 00:19:50.369 kingdom authority in the earth. Amen? We have 00:19:50.369 --> 00:19:53.109 to be anchored in kingdom identity. Now, when 00:19:53.109 --> 00:19:55.349 you go to talk about your identity, you've always 00:19:55.349 --> 00:19:57.569 got to keep yourself in check when you're talking 00:19:57.569 --> 00:19:59.890 about your identity because there's a lot of 00:19:59.890 --> 00:20:03.190 things that come and bombard you to try to convince 00:20:03.190 --> 00:20:08.690 you otherwise. Your past begins to creep up and 00:20:08.690 --> 00:20:13.049 you begin to believe. What you were is who you 00:20:13.049 --> 00:20:18.710 are now. Amen. But if you are born again, if 00:20:18.710 --> 00:20:21.269 you are born from above, if you are somebody 00:20:21.269 --> 00:20:25.210 that is washed in the blood, literally old things 00:20:25.210 --> 00:20:29.470 passed away. Do you believe that? Old things 00:20:29.470 --> 00:20:32.589 have passed away and everything has become new. 00:20:33.630 --> 00:20:38.680 You are a new creature in Christ. I heard a preacher 00:20:38.680 --> 00:20:41.400 say one time, you're a new creep in Christ. Hallelujah. 00:20:44.980 --> 00:20:48.460 You're a new creature. You have to continually 00:20:48.460 --> 00:20:52.380 remind yourself of who you are, but not just 00:20:52.380 --> 00:20:55.339 who you are in Christ, who you are in the body. 00:20:57.179 --> 00:20:59.660 My assignment, why? Because you'll see people 00:20:59.660 --> 00:21:02.500 up front and you'll say, well, they must be more 00:21:02.500 --> 00:21:05.640 successful because they're up front, they're 00:21:05.640 --> 00:21:07.640 talking to people, they're getting to do this, 00:21:07.700 --> 00:21:09.680 they're getting to do that. Maybe they have more 00:21:09.680 --> 00:21:12.680 money or more education or more popularity in 00:21:12.680 --> 00:21:14.680 the community than you do. You think that's success. 00:21:14.960 --> 00:21:17.359 Family, that's not success. That's a distraction 00:21:17.359 --> 00:21:24.539 when it's not meant for you. Amen. Don't strive 00:21:24.539 --> 00:21:30.920 to be up here. Strive to be in the middle of 00:21:30.920 --> 00:21:35.880 your assignment. Because the fact is, we can't 00:21:35.880 --> 00:21:39.539 do what we do if you are not where God created 00:21:39.539 --> 00:21:44.500 you to be in the body. Amen. We have one heart. 00:21:44.660 --> 00:21:51.299 We have two lungs. We have 10 digits. Some have, 00:21:51.299 --> 00:21:54.180 you know, on your hands and then your feet, you 00:21:54.180 --> 00:21:58.559 got 10, so that's 20. Some have 24. But that's 00:21:58.559 --> 00:22:06.200 a whole other sermon. Why did Paul liken us to 00:22:06.200 --> 00:22:10.299 a body? Because we are all individual members. 00:22:10.519 --> 00:22:14.599 We are very particularly created by God to fulfill 00:22:14.599 --> 00:22:17.539 a certain assignment to make this body work. 00:22:18.920 --> 00:22:21.579 And we need it all. We don't need it diseased. 00:22:21.579 --> 00:22:25.460 We don't need parts removed. We need to see everybody 00:22:25.460 --> 00:22:28.619 in their place in a prevailing church, an apostolic 00:22:28.619 --> 00:22:31.700 church, on an assignment to change the territory 00:22:31.700 --> 00:22:34.960 that God has given them. Everybody finds themselves 00:22:34.960 --> 00:22:38.460 in their place. Look at your neighbor today and 00:22:38.460 --> 00:22:44.259 say, you're important, we need you. Amen. Now 00:22:44.259 --> 00:22:46.460 say it to the person next to you like you really 00:22:46.460 --> 00:22:54.160 mean it this time. Hallelujah. He said the gates 00:22:54.160 --> 00:22:57.960 of Hades will not prevail. Here's another aspect 00:22:57.960 --> 00:23:01.119 of a prevailing church, a church that's apostolic 00:23:01.119 --> 00:23:03.819 in its function and assignment. We're rooted 00:23:03.819 --> 00:23:09.200 in unshakable faith. Amen. Jim preached one of 00:23:09.200 --> 00:23:11.059 the best messages I've ever heard on faith the 00:23:11.059 --> 00:23:14.089 other night. It was amazing. It was amazing. 00:23:14.309 --> 00:23:18.750 Hallelujah. We have to be rooted in unshakable 00:23:18.750 --> 00:23:22.329 faith. In the book of Hebrews chapter 12 and 00:23:22.329 --> 00:23:27.009 verse 28. Hebrews chapter 12 and verse 28. I'm 00:23:27.009 --> 00:23:28.650 going to read it to you out of the New American 00:23:28.650 --> 00:23:33.250 Standard. Actually, I want to back up to verse 00:23:33.250 --> 00:23:36.190 25. It says, see to it that you do not refuse 00:23:36.190 --> 00:23:40.119 him who is speaking. For if those did not escape 00:23:40.119 --> 00:23:42.900 when they refused him who warned them from earth, 00:23:43.079 --> 00:23:49.460 much less will they escape who turn away from 00:23:49.460 --> 00:23:53.319 him who warns from heaven. Verse 26, it says 00:23:53.319 --> 00:23:56.779 that his voice shook the earth then, but now 00:23:56.779 --> 00:24:00.319 he has promised saying, yet once more I will 00:24:00.319 --> 00:24:03.039 shake not only the earth, but also the heavens. 00:24:04.299 --> 00:24:06.420 He's saying, I'm going to shake the seen realm 00:24:06.420 --> 00:24:10.400 and the unseen realm. Amen. And then he said 00:24:10.400 --> 00:24:13.559 in verse 27, this expression yet once more, the 00:24:13.559 --> 00:24:18.160 notes removing those things which can be shaken 00:24:18.160 --> 00:24:22.619 as of created things so that those things which 00:24:22.619 --> 00:24:26.460 cannot be shaken may remain. Verse 28. Therefore, 00:24:26.519 --> 00:24:32.099 since we receive a kingdom which cannot be shaken, 00:24:32.220 --> 00:24:37.519 let us show gratitude. By which we may offer 00:24:37.519 --> 00:24:41.059 to God an acceptable service with reverence and 00:24:41.059 --> 00:24:44.599 awe for our God is a consuming fire. He gave 00:24:44.599 --> 00:24:49.420 us a clue here about the shaking. He said everything 00:24:49.420 --> 00:24:53.000 in the seen and unseen realm are getting ready 00:24:53.000 --> 00:24:57.400 to be shook. A whole lot of shaking going on. 00:24:57.460 --> 00:24:59.160 Hallelujah. Jerry Lee might have been a prophet. 00:25:01.619 --> 00:25:03.880 Some of you youngers have no idea what I'm talking 00:25:03.880 --> 00:25:08.079 about. But he said, I'm going to shake it all. 00:25:08.180 --> 00:25:10.400 Now is coming a time. We're in that day. I believe 00:25:10.400 --> 00:25:13.160 we're in the day that everything we can see and 00:25:13.160 --> 00:25:15.539 things we can't see are being shaken. And he 00:25:15.539 --> 00:25:18.740 said, but be encouraged, be of good cheer because 00:25:18.740 --> 00:25:21.500 I've given you a kingdom that cannot be shaken. 00:25:22.440 --> 00:25:25.640 And Paul said here, the shaking's going on all 00:25:25.640 --> 00:25:29.440 around me. I'm in a kingdom that cannot be shaken. 00:25:29.500 --> 00:25:32.319 What is my stability in this? It's gratitude. 00:25:33.740 --> 00:25:36.799 It's gratitude. Thank you, Lord. The Lord spoke 00:25:36.799 --> 00:25:39.180 to me last year. He said, Greg, one of the most 00:25:39.180 --> 00:25:41.980 powerful weapons my church is going to have in 00:25:41.980 --> 00:25:47.220 2026 is a spirit and heart of thankfulness and 00:25:47.220 --> 00:25:51.920 gratitude. Woo, hallelujah. I can be thankful. 00:25:53.400 --> 00:25:57.019 I can show gratitude and I can mean it with all 00:25:57.019 --> 00:25:59.960 of my heart. Lord, there's a lot of shaking going 00:25:59.960 --> 00:26:02.059 on. People are being shook, shook, shook, shook. 00:26:02.099 --> 00:26:04.259 Thank you, Lord, it's them and not me. Hallelujah. 00:26:07.079 --> 00:26:09.960 Right? Lord, just bring them into your kingdom. 00:26:09.980 --> 00:26:14.200 Let them not be all shook up either. We have 00:26:14.200 --> 00:26:17.759 to have a heart of gratitude. That means you 00:26:17.759 --> 00:26:26.559 can't complain. Hallelujah. Well, I'm just, you 00:26:26.559 --> 00:26:28.460 know, I'm just stating the reality. No, it's 00:26:28.460 --> 00:26:33.980 not. It's not the reality. Amen. Next time you 00:26:33.980 --> 00:26:44.480 get ready to complain, don't. Amen. Just don't. 00:26:49.530 --> 00:26:53.390 Amen. Yeah, next time that knothead you married, 00:26:53.509 --> 00:27:06.690 God gave her to you. Oh, hallelujah. I'm going 00:27:06.690 --> 00:27:12.390 straight to the airport after this. Don't complain. 00:27:13.609 --> 00:27:18.759 Speak life. Speak life. Amen. Speak life. Somebody 00:27:18.759 --> 00:27:23.740 say speak life. Why? Because gratitude causes 00:27:23.740 --> 00:27:26.940 where we are, the environment that we're in to 00:27:26.940 --> 00:27:31.039 be unshakable. Hallelujah. Here's another one. 00:27:31.079 --> 00:27:36.079 The prevailing church, the apostolic church must 00:27:36.079 --> 00:27:42.519 be a people that are committed to the apostolic 00:27:42.519 --> 00:27:48.460 mission. The mission, the assignment, the apostolic 00:27:48.460 --> 00:27:50.700 assignment, not the pastoral assignment, but 00:27:50.700 --> 00:27:54.740 the apostolic assignment. Acts chapter one in 00:27:54.740 --> 00:27:58.000 verse eight says, but you shall receive dunamis 00:27:58.000 --> 00:28:03.210 power. when Holy Spirit comes upon you and you 00:28:03.210 --> 00:28:07.269 will be my witnesses. He's saying here that if 00:28:07.269 --> 00:28:10.529 you are filled with Holy Spirit, you are moving 00:28:10.529 --> 00:28:13.509 in your assignment, you will be able to be someone 00:28:13.509 --> 00:28:18.089 who gives a firsthand account at the manifestations 00:28:18.089 --> 00:28:21.490 of God and his faithfulness to what he's called 00:28:21.490 --> 00:28:25.230 you to do. We don't go around saying anymore, 00:28:25.309 --> 00:28:30.460 Lord, do, do, do, Lord, do, Lord, do, Lord. around 00:28:30.460 --> 00:28:32.259 telling people, look what the Lord has done. 00:28:33.220 --> 00:28:36.220 Look what the Lord has done. Well, I don't see 00:28:36.220 --> 00:28:39.420 it. Yeah, but he's done it in his word. And that 00:28:39.420 --> 00:28:42.920 word will become alive. It'll come alive when 00:28:42.920 --> 00:28:47.119 you begin to speak it into your city, your region, 00:28:47.160 --> 00:28:50.660 and your nation. Amen. A prevailing church, a 00:28:50.660 --> 00:28:55.119 church that advances strong is a church that 00:28:55.119 --> 00:28:59.059 stays on assignment. You know, we have a lot 00:28:59.059 --> 00:29:01.920 of churches, so -called churches in America, 00:29:01.960 --> 00:29:05.079 that, you know, they're trying to be everything 00:29:05.079 --> 00:29:10.759 to everybody. Yeah. They got all kind of fun 00:29:10.759 --> 00:29:13.779 stuff going on and not much supernatural stuff. 00:29:15.960 --> 00:29:22.539 I'd rather be supernatural. Amen. You know, they 00:29:22.539 --> 00:29:26.170 try to do a lot of things to get people in. that 00:29:26.170 --> 00:29:32.869 seem to be, I'm gonna be gone soon, so here you 00:29:32.869 --> 00:29:40.470 go. It seems to be compromising. Well, we gotta 00:29:40.470 --> 00:29:42.470 meet them where we are. No, you don't. You gotta 00:29:42.470 --> 00:29:47.210 meet them with the power of the Holy Ghost. Revival 00:29:47.210 --> 00:29:49.109 doesn't come through marketing. Revival comes 00:29:49.109 --> 00:29:52.609 through signs and wonders and miracles. Amen? 00:29:53.160 --> 00:29:57.259 You don't build a church by pizza parties and 00:29:57.259 --> 00:30:01.960 carnivals and bike giveaways and this and that 00:30:01.960 --> 00:30:05.859 and that and this. You do it by the Holy Ghost. 00:30:07.359 --> 00:30:09.400 Signs and wonders and miracles. Now, do those 00:30:09.400 --> 00:30:11.920 other things. You can do those things, but if 00:30:11.920 --> 00:30:14.339 that's all that you're doing, trying to get butts 00:30:14.339 --> 00:30:16.779 in the seats, you're missing the point. It's 00:30:16.779 --> 00:30:18.799 not about how many we get in. It's about how 00:30:18.799 --> 00:30:23.049 many we send out. Amen. It's about changing the 00:30:23.049 --> 00:30:26.650 culture, activating you, commissioning you, and 00:30:26.650 --> 00:30:31.170 deploying you into your assignment. Hallelujah. 00:30:33.829 --> 00:30:37.069 The next one I would say that would be characteristic 00:30:37.069 --> 00:30:40.690 of a prevailing church or an apostolic church 00:30:40.690 --> 00:30:44.250 would be those that are empowered by Holy Spirit. 00:30:45.690 --> 00:30:49.400 Ephesians chapter 3 and verse 16. Let's look 00:30:49.400 --> 00:30:53.200 at that, Ephesians chapter three and verse 16. 00:30:54.079 --> 00:30:57.400 Paul is saying to the church, he said that he, 00:30:57.539 --> 00:31:02.220 Father, would grant you according to the riches 00:31:02.220 --> 00:31:08.980 of his glory to be strengthened with power through 00:31:08.980 --> 00:31:13.839 his spirit in the inner man. Oh, hallelujah, 00:31:13.920 --> 00:31:17.049 strengthened. We talked about the definition 00:31:17.049 --> 00:31:20.210 of prevailing a while ago was to be strengthened, 00:31:20.289 --> 00:31:24.890 to be strong. Amen. So this is part of God's 00:31:24.890 --> 00:31:29.750 plan for you is that you carry strength or weight. 00:31:29.849 --> 00:31:33.109 This word power here again is the word dunamis. 00:31:33.170 --> 00:31:38.109 It means power, might, strength, ability, mighty 00:31:38.109 --> 00:31:49.549 power, miracles, miraculous power, wealth. I 00:31:49.549 --> 00:31:53.509 want to challenge you today. I'm praying that 00:31:53.509 --> 00:31:55.769 God will put sick people in front of you this 00:31:55.769 --> 00:32:01.170 week. Yeah. And don't just look at them and say, 00:32:01.250 --> 00:32:04.609 well, bless your heart. I'm going to pray for 00:32:04.609 --> 00:32:07.789 you. No, say, this is what that redneck was talking 00:32:07.789 --> 00:32:12.309 about. This is an opportunity for the power of 00:32:12.309 --> 00:32:16.230 God, the dunamis of God to flow through me. Just 00:32:16.230 --> 00:32:20.859 try it out. Amen. I break the spirit of timidity 00:32:20.859 --> 00:32:24.579 off of you. Hallelujah. And the boldness of the 00:32:24.579 --> 00:32:27.779 Holy Ghost in you begin to say, all right, they 00:32:27.779 --> 00:32:29.599 don't know me. I don't know them. So we're going 00:32:29.599 --> 00:32:31.500 to try it. They'll probably never, ever see me 00:32:31.500 --> 00:32:34.319 again. So if it works, praise God. If it doesn't 00:32:34.319 --> 00:32:37.259 work, I'm still in the clear and just try it. 00:32:38.740 --> 00:32:43.299 Try it. Amen. I'm praying this week. God puts 00:32:43.299 --> 00:32:47.589 demon possessed people in front of you. And you 00:32:47.589 --> 00:32:53.569 can't find Pastor Brad's phone number. Here, 00:32:53.670 --> 00:32:56.230 talk to my pastor. Talk to my apostle here. Get 00:32:56.230 --> 00:33:01.609 delivered. No. You cast that devil out. Amen. 00:33:01.650 --> 00:33:04.930 You cast that devil. The Bible says in Mark 16, 00:33:05.049 --> 00:33:12.230 to those that believe, they shall cast out devils. 00:33:13.069 --> 00:33:16.690 Here's the redneck translation. You shall evade. 00:33:16.700 --> 00:33:20.619 Evict squatters who are demonic out of the earth, 00:33:20.700 --> 00:33:25.619 the vessels of God. Some of y 'all been evicted. 00:33:25.660 --> 00:33:28.319 Y 'all know what the process is. Not y 'all, 00:33:28.359 --> 00:33:35.920 those online. It's easy. Amen. Look for opportunities. 00:33:36.779 --> 00:33:39.559 Look for opportunities. Pray for the sick to 00:33:39.559 --> 00:33:44.039 cast out devils. Oh Lord, we're praying that 00:33:44.039 --> 00:33:49.509 God will use you to raise the dead. See, the 00:33:49.509 --> 00:33:51.309 only problem with that, somebody's got to die. 00:33:55.190 --> 00:33:57.509 I want to be on the raising part, not the dying 00:33:57.509 --> 00:34:02.549 part. Hallelujah. Strength and wealth. That means 00:34:02.549 --> 00:34:06.309 that when he strengthens you with the power through 00:34:06.309 --> 00:34:08.909 his spirit and the inner man, that he is bringing 00:34:08.909 --> 00:34:12.610 everything you need for your assignment. So don't 00:34:12.610 --> 00:34:15.550 look at what you don't have. Look at what you 00:34:15.550 --> 00:34:21.679 do have. Amen? And if what you do have is not 00:34:21.679 --> 00:34:25.039 enough to meet what you need, you might need 00:34:25.039 --> 00:34:32.159 to make what you do have a seed. It shifted, 00:34:32.260 --> 00:34:33.860 Brad. I'm sorry, it just shifted in the room. 00:34:33.920 --> 00:34:37.679 I felt the air go out. Well, you know, I've been 00:34:37.679 --> 00:34:41.840 trying to save this for a long time. I've been 00:34:41.840 --> 00:34:45.539 wanting to do this for a long time. Maybe it's 00:34:45.539 --> 00:34:48.289 a long time because God's been saying, I give 00:34:48.289 --> 00:34:53.909 seed to the sower. And I've got to release what's 00:34:53.909 --> 00:34:56.289 in my hand so he can release what's in his hand. 00:34:58.510 --> 00:35:03.829 See, God likes picking on us that way. He'll 00:35:03.829 --> 00:35:06.510 give us a seed and we think it's part of the 00:35:06.510 --> 00:35:13.090 solution. It is if you allow it to remain a seed. 00:35:15.849 --> 00:35:21.639 Testing one, two. Hallelujah. So I just speak 00:35:21.639 --> 00:35:24.420 and decree strength and wisdom over you today 00:35:24.420 --> 00:35:27.539 that the things that you're holding on to that 00:35:27.539 --> 00:35:31.119 you need to sow, God is going to give you wisdom 00:35:31.119 --> 00:35:34.119 and revelation in how to sow so that you can 00:35:34.119 --> 00:35:40.519 reap. And wealth will fill your house. Amen? 00:35:41.119 --> 00:35:49.269 Hallelujah. The next one. The last one. is that 00:35:49.269 --> 00:35:52.530 to be a prevailing church, an apostolic house, 00:35:52.690 --> 00:35:58.150 we have to stay focused on the eternal perspective 00:35:58.150 --> 00:36:04.190 of heaven. Amen? We can't lose focus of the eternal 00:36:04.190 --> 00:36:08.289 perspective of heaven. 2 Corinthians 4, 17 and 00:36:08.289 --> 00:36:12.610 18. Let me just pull the whole, I want to read 00:36:12.610 --> 00:36:15.909 another verse out of there. I'm getting used 00:36:15.909 --> 00:36:20.480 to these electronic things. Verse 16, I want 00:36:20.480 --> 00:36:23.619 to go there. Therefore, we do not lose heart. 00:36:24.539 --> 00:36:28.440 Look at somebody and say, don't lose heart. But 00:36:28.440 --> 00:36:32.340 through our outer man, although our outer man 00:36:32.340 --> 00:36:36.159 is decaying, yet our inner man is being renewed 00:36:36.159 --> 00:36:42.719 day by day. For monetary light afflictions. is 00:36:42.719 --> 00:36:47.340 producing for us an eternal weight of glory far 00:36:47.340 --> 00:36:53.639 beyond comparison. While we look at the things 00:36:53.639 --> 00:36:59.480 which are seen, but at the things which are not 00:36:59.480 --> 00:37:04.619 seen. For the things which are seen are temporal, 00:37:04.840 --> 00:37:08.880 but the things which are not seen are eternal. 00:37:09.500 --> 00:37:14.360 What is the eternal? perspective of heaven. It 00:37:14.360 --> 00:37:19.840 is the kingdom. God taking everything over in 00:37:19.840 --> 00:37:23.039 the earth through you, his sons and daughters. 00:37:23.900 --> 00:37:26.519 The eternal perspective is not going to heaven, 00:37:26.599 --> 00:37:30.260 but getting heaven into earth. Amen. The eternal 00:37:30.260 --> 00:37:32.679 perspective is not us being little babies floating 00:37:32.679 --> 00:37:34.880 around on clouds, playing harps, naked, all that 00:37:34.880 --> 00:37:37.159 stuff. No, that's not it. That's an ugly sight. 00:37:38.960 --> 00:37:44.320 That's Dante's inferno. His eternal perspective 00:37:44.320 --> 00:37:49.460 is to cause every demonic entity that rebelled 00:37:49.460 --> 00:37:53.940 against him to be put under the foot of his sons 00:37:53.940 --> 00:38:02.940 and daughters. That's big. Amen? So our goal 00:38:02.940 --> 00:38:07.179 is not to get people to heaven, but to get people 00:38:07.179 --> 00:38:09.860 in the kingdom so we can get heaven into the 00:38:09.860 --> 00:38:13.460 earth. And yes, you do get to go to heaven if 00:38:13.460 --> 00:38:16.039 you die before he returns. You do get to go to 00:38:16.039 --> 00:38:20.360 heaven, but you're coming back with him. Amen? 00:38:21.440 --> 00:38:23.639 Unless you believe in the third coming, which, 00:38:23.739 --> 00:38:26.860 hallelujah, we won't get into eschatology today. 00:38:29.380 --> 00:38:32.260 So to be a prevailing church, to be a church 00:38:32.260 --> 00:38:38.920 that is apostolic in its DNA, in the nature of 00:38:38.920 --> 00:38:42.409 who it is, You've gotta be anchored in kingdom 00:38:42.409 --> 00:38:45.989 identity. You've gotta understand that God has 00:38:45.989 --> 00:38:49.090 given you an unshakable faith and be rooted in 00:38:49.090 --> 00:38:52.389 that. You've gotta be committed to the apostolic 00:38:52.389 --> 00:38:56.769 mission, empowered by the Holy Spirit, and focused 00:38:56.769 --> 00:39:04.489 on the eternal perspective. I see it. I see it, 00:39:04.510 --> 00:39:06.829 Brad. I see it in here today. I see it over this 00:39:06.829 --> 00:39:10.789 house, through this house. I see it. Like it 00:39:10.789 --> 00:39:14.869 has just been rolled out. And all you have to 00:39:14.869 --> 00:39:17.210 do is begin to walk on what he's rolled out before 00:39:17.210 --> 00:39:23.570 you. If you're willing to work. And the Bible 00:39:23.570 --> 00:39:27.369 actually tells you to work while it is day. Amen. 00:39:28.110 --> 00:39:32.949 I know that's an ugly four letter word. But if 00:39:32.949 --> 00:39:38.630 we will be obedient to work. To labor. To go 00:39:38.630 --> 00:39:41.750 after the harvest, which is not only souls, it's 00:39:41.750 --> 00:39:45.489 territories. To go after the things that God 00:39:45.489 --> 00:39:49.170 has given you, your peace will strengthen others 00:39:49.170 --> 00:39:52.630 that are going after their peace. And when we 00:39:52.630 --> 00:39:54.789 start bringing all of these pieces together, 00:39:54.869 --> 00:39:58.650 we'll have a nation that honors God. The Bible 00:39:58.650 --> 00:40:00.690 says in the book of Psalms, blessed is the nation 00:40:00.690 --> 00:40:03.250 whose God is the Lord. Not blessed is the church, 00:40:03.369 --> 00:40:06.469 blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord. 00:40:07.840 --> 00:40:11.199 And I'm believing that America very quickly is 00:40:11.199 --> 00:40:13.920 coming back into the place to where we're saying 00:40:13.920 --> 00:40:18.679 the righteous are ruling and the wicked are in 00:40:18.679 --> 00:40:24.300 Guantanamo. Hallelujah. Oh, wait a minute. That 00:40:24.300 --> 00:40:28.960 was a misquote. Half of that was scripture. Half 00:40:28.960 --> 00:40:36.320 of that was my heart. We're getting it back. 00:40:38.219 --> 00:40:42.139 Because there are people like you that are recognizing 00:40:42.139 --> 00:40:47.440 the call of God. The assignment of being an apostolic 00:40:47.440 --> 00:40:55.360 people. Carrying apostolic DNA. And being the 00:40:55.360 --> 00:40:58.119 tip of the spear. This is something this house 00:40:58.119 --> 00:41:00.079 is going to begin to be known for is being the 00:41:00.079 --> 00:41:05.980 tip of the spear. That's the bloodiest part of 00:41:05.980 --> 00:41:14.369 the spear. Amen. It's a little gory on a Super 00:41:14.369 --> 00:41:17.369 Bowl Sunday, but that's all right. The Seahawks 00:41:17.369 --> 00:41:23.030 will win. Half of y 'all didn't like that. I 00:41:23.030 --> 00:41:25.730 did see some Patriot jerseys in the first service, 00:41:25.849 --> 00:41:28.030 and I thought, oh, the rebellious have arrived. 00:41:30.170 --> 00:41:39.760 No, I'm kidding. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. My 00:41:39.760 --> 00:41:45.659 prayer over you, Life Bible Church, is that you 00:41:45.659 --> 00:41:51.400 would receive and feel the weightiness of what 00:41:51.400 --> 00:41:59.679 God's doing. This is heavy. It's heavy. But it's 00:41:59.679 --> 00:42:03.940 necessary. And he never puts anything on his 00:42:03.940 --> 00:42:08.030 body that they cannot bear. You were designed 00:42:08.030 --> 00:42:12.150 to carry this weight, this glory into the state 00:42:12.150 --> 00:42:17.250 of Oregon. There will be other congregations 00:42:17.250 --> 00:42:20.389 planted from here, Brad, in the state of Oregon. 00:42:21.909 --> 00:42:24.690 And they will be apostolic centers, apostolic 00:42:24.690 --> 00:42:28.429 hubs like this one that will be outpost of this 00:42:28.429 --> 00:42:31.190 house throughout the state of Oregon. And it 00:42:31.190 --> 00:42:34.869 will also go into Washington and into Canada. 00:42:36.909 --> 00:42:40.030 Also in California, my condolences, but also 00:42:40.030 --> 00:42:45.389 in the California. You're going to watch God 00:42:45.389 --> 00:42:51.869 give you, my Lord, I see 500 miles north to south 00:42:51.869 --> 00:42:55.719 from this place. that God's going to give this 00:42:55.719 --> 00:42:59.179 house to steward. As you're faithful with the 00:42:59.179 --> 00:43:02.099 little, he'll cause you to be masters over much. 00:43:02.260 --> 00:43:04.820 And some of you sitting in here today and some 00:43:04.820 --> 00:43:08.059 of them in the first service are going to be 00:43:08.059 --> 00:43:11.539 those that God raises up and trains and sends 00:43:11.539 --> 00:43:16.920 to man and to steward these other apostolic hubs 00:43:16.920 --> 00:43:19.960 in other parts of this state, Washington, and 00:43:19.960 --> 00:43:30.489 the northern part of California. Stand up with 00:43:30.489 --> 00:43:52.789 me if you don't mind. Just link arms with somebody. 00:43:53.030 --> 00:43:58.789 Link arms with them. Father, my prayer today 00:43:58.789 --> 00:44:05.570 over Life Bible is that they come shoulder to 00:44:05.570 --> 00:44:09.670 shoulder and arm to arm for the assignment that 00:44:09.670 --> 00:44:13.889 you've given them. Father, again, I prayed this 00:44:13.889 --> 00:44:15.809 last night, but I'm praying again today. This 00:44:15.809 --> 00:44:19.969 is so important, Lord. Allow them to see clearer 00:44:19.969 --> 00:44:25.449 than they've ever seen. Just like Elisha said 00:44:25.449 --> 00:44:28.889 to you, Father, open Gehazi's eyes that he may 00:44:28.889 --> 00:44:33.070 see there's more for us than against us. Lord, 00:44:33.150 --> 00:44:36.369 do that for this house and this leadership. Father, 00:44:36.449 --> 00:44:39.730 do that today. Father, that they may see there's 00:44:39.730 --> 00:44:41.989 more for them than against them. And this is 00:44:41.989 --> 00:44:46.869 a fixed fight. Open their ears so they could 00:44:46.869 --> 00:44:49.739 hear. clearer than they've ever heard. Father, 00:44:49.760 --> 00:44:52.960 I pray today that this prevailing church here, 00:44:53.099 --> 00:44:56.340 this apostolic house here, Father, that there 00:44:56.340 --> 00:45:02.000 is a supernatural strength coming into them for 00:45:02.000 --> 00:45:05.460 this assignment. They will not grow weary in 00:45:05.460 --> 00:45:08.280 well -doing. They will walk and they will not 00:45:08.280 --> 00:45:21.369 faint. Father, Give us the sobering understanding 00:45:21.369 --> 00:45:28.650 of not only what we are called to do, but what 00:45:28.650 --> 00:45:35.630 you're going to reap through us. You pick them, 00:45:35.670 --> 00:45:46.480 Lord, to bring an everlasting change. I hear 00:45:46.480 --> 00:45:49.659 the Lord saying today that you need to pray. 00:45:52.760 --> 00:45:56.079 Let me say it a different way. Part of your assignment, 00:45:56.260 --> 00:46:01.059 your prayer assignment, is to pray the northern 00:46:01.059 --> 00:46:06.059 border of our country is closed to anything that 00:46:06.059 --> 00:46:09.440 would be an adversary to our nation. It's part 00:46:09.440 --> 00:46:15.500 of your prayer assignment. So Father, we do that 00:46:15.500 --> 00:46:20.380 today, Lord. We just seal that border up. And 00:46:20.380 --> 00:46:23.380 we declare that the enemy will not be able to 00:46:23.380 --> 00:46:27.480 cross the border in any capacity. Any adversary, 00:46:27.840 --> 00:46:31.199 anything coming to do harm to our nation from 00:46:31.199 --> 00:46:33.639 the northern border. Father, we declare today 00:46:33.639 --> 00:46:40.659 it will not cross our border. We say today, Lord. 00:46:41.320 --> 00:46:44.840 that your angels are encamped around that boundary 00:46:44.840 --> 00:46:48.480 and you yourself are being a wall of fire round 00:46:48.480 --> 00:46:52.440 about us. I see fire angels being released to 00:46:52.440 --> 00:47:01.880 the northern border. Father, I thank you, Lord, 00:47:01.920 --> 00:47:04.900 today that we're moving into a place in this 00:47:04.900 --> 00:47:08.400 house to where, Father, we're not requesting 00:47:08.400 --> 00:47:13.039 things as much as we are agreeing and decreeing 00:47:13.039 --> 00:47:16.599 and declaring what we're hearing that you want. 00:47:29.710 --> 00:47:33.710 Father, there's an increase of five -fold gifts 00:47:33.710 --> 00:47:41.150 in this house. There's an increase of five -fold 00:47:41.150 --> 00:47:44.449 gifts in this house for preparation of deployment. 00:47:47.150 --> 00:47:49.469 Now, you got to understand something about deployment. 00:47:49.690 --> 00:47:55.070 You don't just go. You're sent. There's power 00:47:55.070 --> 00:48:00.329 in being sent. So when you go, you go, you're 00:48:00.329 --> 00:48:05.429 on your own. But when you're sent, you carry 00:48:05.429 --> 00:48:08.550 the DNA, the blessing and the authority of the 00:48:08.550 --> 00:48:13.429 house from which you're sent. That's a double 00:48:13.429 --> 00:48:17.789 portion. And so Father, I thank you as these 00:48:17.789 --> 00:48:22.230 gifts are emerging in this house that they will 00:48:22.230 --> 00:48:29.179 stay set until they are sent. They will grow 00:48:29.179 --> 00:48:33.000 and mature and when they're recognized, Father, 00:48:33.099 --> 00:48:36.119 and they are being sent, Lord, they will be sent 00:48:36.119 --> 00:48:43.940 with a double portion. Give us the ability to, 00:48:44.099 --> 00:48:48.920 as we said last night, Lord, morph from sheep 00:48:48.920 --> 00:48:54.119 to lions. And let there be a roar that comes 00:48:54.119 --> 00:48:56.840 out of this house, Lord, that shakes the ground 00:48:56.840 --> 00:49:05.860 in three states. Not only the northern border, 00:49:05.860 --> 00:49:09.079 Brad, but I'm seeing something here is that I 00:49:09.079 --> 00:49:13.920 see ships off the west coast. And part of the 00:49:13.920 --> 00:49:17.059 apostolic authority that God is giving this house 00:49:17.059 --> 00:49:20.119 is going to be able to keep the enemy's ships. 00:49:23.400 --> 00:49:27.340 their watercrafts, even submarines, away from 00:49:27.340 --> 00:49:30.519 our borders, away from our nation. You say, Greg, 00:49:30.579 --> 00:49:32.320 what's going on? Why do you want to prophesy 00:49:32.320 --> 00:49:34.179 like that? Because there's coming a day that 00:49:34.179 --> 00:49:36.699 will happen, that will try, but it will be the 00:49:36.699 --> 00:49:44.360 church that keeps them at bay. Amen? Not to scare 00:49:44.360 --> 00:49:47.780 you, but to equip you and to prepare you how 00:49:47.780 --> 00:49:51.519 to pray. Brad, could you bring your leadership 00:49:51.519 --> 00:49:53.480 up here and just have them stand here in the 00:49:53.480 --> 00:50:04.460 front? Hallelujah. I'm going to ask Bishop Tony 00:50:04.460 --> 00:50:05.960 to come up here with me too. If I could have 00:50:05.960 --> 00:50:22.219 all the elders and staff, please. Sure. And any 00:50:22.219 --> 00:50:25.420 department heads, if you're over an area of ministry 00:50:25.420 --> 00:50:28.239 that you happen to be in here, elders, staff, 00:50:28.559 --> 00:50:35.260 department heads. Come on. Come on. Deanna, I 00:50:35.260 --> 00:50:39.019 can't see. Take the oak. Place the oak right 00:50:39.019 --> 00:50:45.260 here. There you go. Department heads. Nathan. 00:50:46.820 --> 00:50:57.360 Yeah. Keeney. Good. Hallelujah. He had to convince 00:50:57.360 --> 00:51:02.619 some of y 'all to come. He let you up here, brother. 00:51:03.199 --> 00:51:06.519 That's amazing, man. That's amazing. I did that 00:51:06.519 --> 00:51:13.460 for you, Brad. I want you to stretch your hands 00:51:13.460 --> 00:51:16.500 towards him and I'm going to pray over him. I 00:51:16.500 --> 00:51:19.670 want Tony to pray over you too. And then I want, 00:51:19.769 --> 00:51:21.610 when we're done, we're just gonna walk and just 00:51:21.610 --> 00:51:25.610 touch you and bless you. And then I want Apostle 00:51:25.610 --> 00:51:32.610 Brad to begin to speak over you the, help me 00:51:32.610 --> 00:51:39.329 explain this, Lord. The ability to wear the heart 00:51:39.329 --> 00:51:46.789 of a pioneer. Foragers. Those that are able to 00:51:46.789 --> 00:51:54.280 cut away. New paths for people to walk in. You 00:51:54.280 --> 00:51:58.460 are a people that are going to forge new paths 00:51:58.460 --> 00:52:03.860 in the spirit and in the natural. You will not 00:52:03.860 --> 00:52:06.400 walk the path of other churches that they beat 00:52:06.400 --> 00:52:11.760 down. But you will forge new paths as pioneers 00:52:11.760 --> 00:52:16.500 and cause a new way to be made where there is 00:52:16.500 --> 00:52:23.559 no new way. to be made amen that means creativity 00:52:23.559 --> 00:52:26.920 is going to begin to surge in this house revelation 00:52:26.920 --> 00:52:29.980 is going to begin to surge in this house amen 00:52:29.980 --> 00:52:33.400 wisdom how to implement strategy because of the 00:52:33.400 --> 00:52:36.159 apostolic anointing is going to begin to surge 00:52:36.159 --> 00:52:39.920 in this house and the ability to find direction 00:52:39.920 --> 00:52:43.639 because of the prophetic anointing is going into 00:52:43.639 --> 00:52:48.369 a new new level is beginning to be pioneered 00:52:48.369 --> 00:52:51.829 in this house. So Lord, I bless the leadership. 00:52:52.010 --> 00:52:55.090 I bless Brad and Jen and their leadership, Father, 00:52:55.250 --> 00:52:57.710 on these different levels. And we declare today, 00:52:57.909 --> 00:53:02.110 Lord God, that they are going to hold up their 00:53:02.110 --> 00:53:07.449 arms as they move forward in clearing a way, 00:53:07.530 --> 00:53:12.670 clearing a new path. They'll have a deeper heart 00:53:12.670 --> 00:53:21.539 of a servant. And you'll use them, Lord, to begin 00:53:21.539 --> 00:53:28.780 to birth and to establish this new path. New 00:53:28.780 --> 00:53:37.360 path, new path, new path. I bind every self -serving 00:53:37.360 --> 00:53:42.320 thing that would try to creep up in us. And I 00:53:42.320 --> 00:53:46.159 say, Lord, we submit our hearts to you. And we 00:53:46.159 --> 00:53:48.860 submit our hearts to the leadership. We submit 00:53:48.860 --> 00:53:51.199 our hearts to the vision and the assignment. 00:53:51.420 --> 00:53:54.679 And Father, by the help of Holy Spirit, we will 00:53:54.679 --> 00:53:58.760 see this thing done. And I'm hearing the Lord 00:53:58.760 --> 00:54:01.219 say over the next two years, there will be so 00:54:01.219 --> 00:54:07.420 much measurable change and progress made that 00:54:07.420 --> 00:54:12.420 will open up the heavens over this state. And 00:54:12.420 --> 00:54:15.619 you'll begin to see even... Seats of government 00:54:15.619 --> 00:54:20.039 changed. And you'll be able to rejoice and say, 00:54:20.199 --> 00:54:27.880 we have a righteous majority. From your county 00:54:27.880 --> 00:54:31.719 level all the way to the state level. Salem is 00:54:31.719 --> 00:54:42.239 being saved. I'm going to pray in the Holy Spirit. 00:54:43.550 --> 00:54:45.230 You don't need to understand what I'm saying 00:54:45.230 --> 00:55:24.179 because I'm not talking to you. Thank you Father. 00:55:26.880 --> 00:55:42.980 In Jesus name. I heard the Lord say that I am 00:55:42.980 --> 00:55:45.880 depositing within you, says the Lord, the essential 00:55:45.880 --> 00:55:49.199 things that you need for the assignment. I'm 00:55:49.199 --> 00:55:52.239 saying to you today by my spirit, says the Lord, 00:55:52.360 --> 00:55:55.519 that I am leveling you up. I am bringing you 00:55:55.519 --> 00:55:59.480 into a new place. And I will begin to cause you 00:55:59.480 --> 00:56:03.119 to enhance one another, says the Lord. I will 00:56:03.119 --> 00:56:06.619 cause the leadership of this house to live. in 00:56:06.619 --> 00:56:11.719 a continual state of conception and birthing. 00:56:11.800 --> 00:56:15.900 Conception and birthing. Conception and birthing. 00:56:15.900 --> 00:56:19.460 Conception and birthing, says the Lord. For I 00:56:19.460 --> 00:56:22.599 have set you in a season of multiplication. A 00:56:22.599 --> 00:56:26.030 season of multiplication in every area. that 00:56:26.030 --> 00:56:29.010 has to do with your assignment, especially wealth. 00:56:29.329 --> 00:56:32.409 For if I not sit over this house, you will be 00:56:32.409 --> 00:56:36.909 a war chest. You will be a place where I distribute 00:56:36.909 --> 00:56:40.510 my wealth from, says the Lord. Well, you've stepped 00:56:40.510 --> 00:56:44.670 into that place and I'm moving you into a place 00:56:44.670 --> 00:56:48.989 of great favor to where you will become a magnet 00:56:48.989 --> 00:56:53.769 for wealth. I am releasing the millions upon 00:56:53.769 --> 00:56:57.860 millions upon millions into this house, even 00:56:57.860 --> 00:57:03.300 in this day, says the Lord. Watch, watch, watch. 00:57:04.039 --> 00:57:07.300 I will cause you to move this way and that way. 00:57:07.300 --> 00:57:11.199 It'll be quickened sometimes, it'll be slow in 00:57:11.199 --> 00:57:14.860 other times, but you will begin to march to the 00:57:14.860 --> 00:57:18.239 beat of the drum of the armies of heaven. You 00:57:18.239 --> 00:57:21.039 will begin to see me, says the Lord. You will 00:57:21.039 --> 00:57:23.639 begin to partner with me, says the Lord, and 00:57:23.639 --> 00:57:26.820 my angels in a way you've not yet done. So watch 00:57:26.820 --> 00:57:29.880 me as I begin to perform these essential things 00:57:29.880 --> 00:57:33.880 in you. And watch me, says God, as I begin to 00:57:33.880 --> 00:57:36.500 bring you into a place of oneness that you've 00:57:36.500 --> 00:57:40.139 not walked in yet before. I'm causing my family 00:57:40.139 --> 00:57:44.199 to come together to rule with me in this region 00:57:44.199 --> 00:57:51.719 in a very new way, says God. So, Lord, we just 00:57:51.719 --> 00:57:56.840 decree that. It's done. And as we just walk down 00:57:56.840 --> 00:58:01.119 and touch them, Lord, your word says lay hands 00:58:01.119 --> 00:58:05.199 on them. They'll be activated. And so, Lord, 00:58:05.219 --> 00:58:08.579 today as we do this and Apostle Brad prays over 00:58:08.579 --> 00:58:12.280 them and this congregation, Father God, there 00:58:12.280 --> 00:58:16.000 is... a, what I see in the spirit, there is a 00:58:16.000 --> 00:58:20.340 walking across a threshold and God locking a 00:58:20.340 --> 00:58:23.360 door behind you where you don't go back that 00:58:23.360 --> 00:58:29.260 way. And he's moving you through many, many rooms. 00:58:32.699 --> 00:58:37.400 Many are coming. So Lord, we release that today. 00:58:37.539 --> 00:58:53.130 Tony, let's just lay hands on here.
