Sermon
Unstoppable Purpose

Transcript
-
Yeah, let's let's just stand very over the word. Can we do that?
-
Father? We just thank you for the opportunity to dive into you and
-
your word, and we thank you for the opportunity to just be quickened,
-
to awakened, strengthened by you. And we just open our hearts right now
-
for everything you have to say. We ask you to just lead us in
-
this builving diving in with with your wisdom from above, with your anointing that
-
breaks every yoke in Jesus name. And everybody said, Amen, Amen,
-
Amen, Amen. I want to talk to you about your your unstoppable purpose
-
in the anointing is what I'm calling this, your unstoppable purpose in the anointing.
-
There's a lot of parallels in the in the First Covenant, in the
-
Old Testament, there's a lot of parallels to what we're called to do and
-
the anointing that's upon us, and what the anointing is all about. And
-
if you're newer to all of this, you know, anointing is kind of
-
an interesting thing. Maybe you don't know much about um, but it was
-
like a super typical part of the Old Testament to be anoint tentative. Was
-
it was this super typical thing, and and it usually went together with another
-
aspect of like God's expression for people, and these you know, these expressions
-
were specifically for their victory, for you know, for overcoming and what God
-
had in mind. And remember, remember, while all of this is happening,
-
he's mainly dealing with one nation. So there's seventy nations that he's mainly
-
dealing with one, So sixty nine nations aren't really getting the benefit of some
-
of what he's doing. But what he's doing is a foreshadowing of everything he
-
wants to do with all the nations. So when the Christ comes, he
-
wants to break out like the alabaster bottle of grace and power. He wants
-
to break it out onto every nation. But in the beginning, we're seeing
-
him do all of this stuff in the Old Testament, which is one nation
-
with the nation of Israel, and we've been grafted into that nation. So
-
you, by spiritual birth, are now inter related to Abraham. You've been
-
grafted in out of every nation. We're here today memorializing, commemorating stuff that
-
relates to Israel, which seems the laud except that we've been grafted in so
-
though we are gentiles that were out of other nations, we identify with Israel
-
in some ways because Yeshia the Christ came through Israel, and he's grafted us
-
in, adopted us, grafted us in out of every nation into the promises
-
made to Abraham. So by faith we all become Abraham's children. That means
-
that these principles that we read about that are written for Israel, these promises
-
we read about that we're written for Israel. They literally have a living expression
-
for us. Now makes sense for us, and by the Holy Spirit dwelling
-
in us, they have life giving power for us. Does that make sense?
-
So when we think about, like you know, the annointing, even
-
when we think about the Promised Land, the promised Land is kind of a
-
it has a it has a it has a historical and a real you know,
-
like relevance. Right, they actually went to a promised land. But
-
everything that he was doing with Israel in the Promised Land actually has a metaphoric
-
current expression for us who've been grafted in the Christ because in all of these
-
historical happenings with Israel, as he's bringing forward one nation, there's a picture
-
of what he he is going to do through the Christ. Once the Christ
-
comes with every nation. So even the Promised Land has this amazing relevance.
-
So Abraham was promised the most amazing property on the earth. That's you.
-
There's metaphoric truth in that you've been promised the most amazing property on the earth.
-
Enemies possessed the property before Abram could lay hold of it. These enemies
-
were not just enemies of Abram, they were enemies of God. They were
-
nations joined to the Monk who refused God and who were led by spiritual forces
-
who were against God. And so they had an assignment. And there were
-
seven nations. It's kind of interesting. There were seven nations possessing the Promised
-
Land and they had an assignment. Their assignment was to crossover under a leader.
-
You know what the leader's name was. The leader's name was Joshua.
-
It's the same exact name as Jesus. Did you know that. The way
-
you say that with a Hebrew transliteration is Yeshiva. Yeshua was their commander.
-
Yeshua is ours. Notice Moses couldn't take them into the Promised Land. It's
-
because the law cannot take you into your promised land only the leading of Holy
-
Spirit can take you into your promised land. Notice that they crossed over the
-
Jordan at flood stage to go in, and Notice everybody had to be of
-
one mind, a mind of faith. Anybody without faith couldn't go in.
-
That's why a whole generation had to die off, because a generation had no
-
faith, and so God had to raise up a new generation that had faith,
-
because only a generation with faith could cross over and go in. Notice
-
though God promised that he would drive out the enemies, there was a partnership
-
in the Holy Spirit. He said, you will drive out your enemies.
-
So there's a partnership. Is it? Bipolarism is a confusion? Are you
-
going to drive them out? Are we going to drive them out? He's
-
going to drive them out, We're going to drive them out. I'm going
-
to drive them out as you advanced, like an army. And you're going
-
to drive them out as you advanced like an army. But when you advanced
-
like an army, I'm going to show up and it won't be like you
-
alone or driving them out, because I'm going to be on you and with
-
you with an up on anointing, and my up on anointing will cause the
-
dread of you to fall upon them, and so therefore you're going to drive
-
them out. But therefore I'm going to be there to actually do the driving.
-
So it's kind of a Jehovah sneaky thing. You just show up and
-
do your part, and I'll show up and do the superpart. And so
-
then we'll have the super on your natural and it'll and they'll be driven out.
-
And what they represented were not the Kingdom of God, but the Kingdom
-
of See, the Kingdom of God is God's way of doing things, the
-
King's way of doing things, that's the Kingdom of God. These were Satan's
-
way. They represented Satan's way of doing things. They represented prostitution, they
-
represented worship of the stars. They've represented fulls gods. They've represented errant education,
-
they've represented scientific formulas that were glorification of witchcraft. They represented everything that
-
was wrong in culture, and they were to overcome them that they might possess
-
their land. This is all. It's a metaphor of what you're to do.
-
There's seven nations, there's seven high places in the earth, seven mountains
-
of influence. We call them seven Mountains of Influence, and were to possess
-
the gates of our enemy. Frank Reddit this morning, there's multiple references to
-
mountains and high places. David kills Goliath and then takes the head of Goliath
-
about ten miles. He walks about ten miles and goes to Jerusalem, a
-
city that was given to the people of Israel, a city that had in
-
it Mount Zion, a city that was to be devoted to God, but
-
was possessed by the Jebusites. See, the enemy has taken a lot of
-
things that actually belong to God, and we're called to take them back.
-
We're called to take them back, and it's a spiritual battle. But we
-
engage in natural methodology. But we combine the natural with the spiritual and God.
-
It gives us the victory because the anointing is on us, and the
-
anointing of God is on us for the divine purpose of winning back the earth
-
and seeing the earth restored. Father, once the earth restored on earth as
-
it is in heaven. This is our cry, this is our prayer.
-
This is what Father has in mind in this way, In this way we
-
have to think of. Revival is the ignition of the Holy Spirit in the
-
church. Revival is the ignition of the Holy Spirit in the Church. We
-
need revival. Revival brings us back to the pre eminence of the anointing.
-
The anointing is this principle, this metaphoric principle that was both metaphoric for us
-
today and real for them and for us symbolized by the laying on of hands
-
and the pouring out of a flask of oil. But wherever the anointing was
-
initiated over a person in Israel, there wasn't There wasn't the anointing of the
-
Holy Spirit in the sixty nine other nations. The anointing of the Holy Spirit
-
was set apart for those in Israel, and the anointing was always for the
-
empowerment upon that person for their set apart purpose. The annoying thing caused the
-
person to be accompanied with signs and wonders and power that they wouldn't have had
-
otherwise for the fulfillment of their purpose. And generally we see it like a
-
flask of oil was poured upon the person. Oil in the Bible was symbolic
-
of the Holy Spirit, so a flask of oil would be poured over the
-
person more than for the purpose of a shampoo or some kind of oil,
-
removing dandruff, powerful, something, something, there was a greater purpose.
-
Number one, it symbolized this person as being set apart for a purpose.
-
Number two, they can't fulfill their purpose without the Holy Spirit. Number three,
-
the Holy Spirit will cause their purpose to come to pass. Number four,
-
the Holy Spirit will get the lorry when their purpose comes to pass.
-
Number five, this person is unique and special. We can gather around this
-
person and rejoice with what Fathers doing through them. But there's just so many
-
things connected to the outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon a person. And this
-
is actually the clalling and the privilege of every single person that has come into
-
the Kingdom now because formally it only happened with those who were in Israel,
-
and we mainly see it talked about in the Word with prophets, priest,
-
kings, and judges. That's generally the category that we see it talked about.
-
But others were anointed of the Holy Spirit for their purpose. Because the
-
anointing of the Holy Spirit is knit to purpose. That's why I say that
-
revival is critical because in the house we cultivate revival, which is the upon
-
anointing and the power of the Spirit. But the true measure and the purpose
-
of revival is for us to be sent like arrows into culture. It's for
-
us to have the power of God for our cultural assignment. It's not meant
-
for just church expression only. It's not meant just for us to enrich one
-
another. It's literally meant to empower us in our assignment. And that's part
-
of why there's so much in the First Testament, the Old Testament. There's
-
so much about this that give us the understanding of the power and the relevance
-
of the anointing and how it's married to purpose. So this morning, I'm
-
kind of talking about two things. I'm talking about the anointing. I'm talking
-
about your purpose for Samuel ten, nine and ten. When they came to
-
the hill, there behold a group of prophets met him Saul. This is
-
all about Saul. By the way, I'm just going to grab some quick
-
scriptures and I want to just show you this. This is the beginning of
-
Saul's kingly anointing and his kingship. When they came to the hill, there
-
behold a group of prophets met him, and the spirit of God came upon
-
him mightily, so that he prophesied among them. You'll notice the little The
-
little thing that I want you to catch is the spirit of the Lord came
-
upon him upon. Everybody say upon. That's what I want you to see,
-
is that there are two dimensions to the Holy Spirit. There's the indwelling
-
Holy Spirit. That's a dimension that's biblical and sound and clear. There's an
-
indwelling aspect of Holy Spirit. The indwelling aspect of Holy Spirit happens when you're
-
born of the spirit, when you invite Jesus by Holy Spirit to dwell within
-
you, and you invite him to carry away your sin and to bring you
-
before Father, bring you into the family, and you invite him to be
-
your Lord and your forgiveness and your righteousness. So that is a valid expression
-
of Holy Spirit. But there's another expression of the only Spirit, and that's
-
talked about Ober and Ober again in the Word of God, and it's the
-
upon expression. Everybody say upon. The upon expression of Holy Spirit is super,
-
super powerful and it's super relevant. And we see this happening time and
-
time again with these in Israel who were the sons of Abraham. Now we've
-
been brought into Abraham through Jesus. These were the sons of Abraham, because
-
they were a part of Israel and they were heirs according to the promise of
-
Abraham. So we don't see a lot of salvation talk with these people.
-
What we see is destiny talk, purpose talk, selection talk, consecration talk.
-
They were consecrated, set apart for a purpose in their generation. For
-
Samuel's six thirteen. Then Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him David.
-
Now this one's about David. The next in line for kingship and for
-
purpose was David. And so Samuel took the horn of oil, anointed him
-
and the midst of his brothers, and the spirit of the Lord came mightily
-
upon David from that day forward. By the way an encounter in Holy Spirit,
-
you can trust us. I'm waiting to trust this. Though we continue
-
to be filled with the spirit, the Bible says Ephesians five, continue to
-
be filled with the spirit, that we continue to immerse ourselves in the spirit,
-
that we continue to welcome Holy Spirit to enable us and anoint us.
-
That we can canue in that from the moment that you have an encounter in
-
Holy Spirit where you're baptized in the Holy Spirit, from that moment on,
-
the Holy Spirit is upon you with power. From that moment on, the
-
Holy Spirit is upon you with power. And a lot of us just need
-
to trust that. A lot of us just need to do some things that
-
activate him in a supernatural way by putting ourselves at risk with regard to our
-
calling and what He's got in mind for us. And then we see him
-
show up Judges fourteen nineteen. Then the spirit of the Lord came upon him,
-
upon him mightily. This is Samson talking about Samson, one of the
-
judges. Samson was one of the judges. The spirit of the Lord came
-
upon Samson, I might just say, Sampson with a fairly imperfect guy.
-
This is the way the anointing works, the anointing coming upon you, the
-
anointing, the dispensing of the upon anointing. The Holy Spirit pours out the
-
anointing upon us, not because we're perfect, but because we desire him.
-
Any desirers in the building today. That's how it works, is that.
-
And then He even does crazy things through us and upon us, not because
-
of our perfection, but because of our simplicity, our childlike faith to be
-
used of him, our openness and submission to yield to what the anointing would
-
like to do through us. So we came upon Sampson first King's two fifteen.
-
There when the sons of the Prophets were at Jericho, opposite of him,
-
they said, the spirit of Elijah rests upon Elisha, and they came
-
to meet him and bowed themselves to the ground before him. Is this is
-
this is a recognition of an upon anointing. And so then what Holy Spirit
-
desired what he wanted? He wanted. He wanted this because it's anointing for
-
purpose, and it's anointing for kingdom purpose. That is that everything in life,
-
society and culture would be done the way the king wants it done.
-
That's the kingdom. The kingdom is the King's way of doing things, and
-
he wants that invading every mountain of culture, all seven mountains of culture,
-
government, education, family, business, media, entertainment, every predominant mountain
-
of culture. He wants the King's way of doing things pressed forward, and
-
he wants Satan's way of doing things pressed out. So he annoints us and
-
he gives us desires toward certain mountains of culture. But this is this is
-
where the you know, this is where we have to be renewed in our
-
mind is that Christianity for years has told us that it's all about one mountain.
-
Our whole focus has been on the mountain of religion. Now, not
-
you, and not every Christian. I know that. I'm not trying to
-
be harsh or negative or judgmental. I'm just saying that God is shifting our
-
focus. He's amplifying a shift to focus that the mountain of religion is meant
-
to be the supreme mountain. The chief mountain is what Isaiah called it.
-
Micah called it the chief mountain from which the ministry of Yeshua goes into every
-
mountain to transform those mountains. But it can only do so as we,
-
as the fiery eras of God, go with the message and the anointing of
-
the Spirit to transform those mountains. We are sent ones. And the mission
-
field is not Ugonda. The mission field is not gone. The mission field
-
is not France. The mission field is your school board. The mission field
-
is your county of city meeting. The mission field is the media. Have
-
you loved what's happening in media recently? Have you loved kind of the shift?
-
How we have some voices that are rising up. We even have movies
-
to go see that amplify good. We're seeing some things shift in the media
-
mountain. Isn't that good? Isn't that exciting? I want to get behind
-
that. I want to get behind that, because this is God working to
-
awaken the church, Awaken the ecclesia, Awaken those of us who know we're
-
called to the religious mountain to begin to invade other mountains, invade the family
-
mountain. We're going to invade the family mountain because we know how to do
-
family. We're gonna adopt children. We're gonna open our homes, so we're
-
gonna we're gonna foster children. We're going to care for families. We're gonna
-
care for single people because they've been harmed. We're going to care for the
-
family mountain. So even Jesus, it's interesting, you know, even Jesus
-
followed this hypology in his purpose. I know you're probably aware of it,
-
but you know, Jesus was the son of God before he was baptized in
-
water and in the Holy Spirit because he hadn't sinned. We have to be
-
born again because we were born wrong the first time. We were born in
-
sin. We were born in iniquity. We have to be born of the
-
spirit. Jesus was of the spirit from birth. So it's interesting if Jesus
-
had the spirit from birth. Jesus was one with the spirit from birth.
-
Jesus communed with Father from birth. Isn't it odd that he had that received
-
the upon anointing. It's because there's two aspects to holy Spirit. There's two
-
aspects to holy Spirit. The indwelling is mainly for you. The upon anointing
-
is mainly for your purpose and for the ministry that benefits others. And so
-
even Jesus right Luke, chapter three, verse twenty one. Now it came
-
about when all the people were baptized that Jesus also was baptizing. While he
-
was praying, heaven opened and the Holy Spirit dispended upon him in a bodily
-
form like a dove, and a voice came out of heaven. Thou art,
-
my beloved son in thee. I am well pleased. You've got the
-
NIV, I think on the screen for some other reason, I picked something
-
different here. And then he began his ministry. He was thirty years old.
-
This is interesting. He lived thirty years without thee upon anointing. Is
-
that a little crazy for you to think about, because a lot of us
-
get were like super perplexed over this human hold it, hold it. I
-
already got born of the spirit. When I got born of the spirit,
-
didn't I get everything? No? Actually, there is an upon anointing,
-
and the upon anointing is for your empowerment. You probably didn't receive it,
-
but you could if you would just request it. It's distinct on purpose,
-
and it's distinct for our purpose. Isn't that amazing? So that's when his
-
ministry began. That's when his ministry, That's when the signs and wonders began.
-
That's when his the fulfillment of his purpose first shown three eight. For
-
this purpose came the son of Man. For this purpose came the son of
-
Man to destroy the works of the devil. You have a purpose. The
-
Bible talks over and over again about how every one of us have a purpose.
-
Every one of us have a divine purpose. There's something God actually had
-
something in mind. When we read Jeremiah chapter one, we're supposed to read
-
it understanding that doesn't just apply to Jeremiah. That applies to me. I've
-
got a purpose Jeremiah chapter one. Now, the word the Lord came saying,
-
before I formed you in the womb, I knew you, and before
-
you were born, I consecrated you. I've appointed you a prophet to the
-
nation's God was just being super gracious helping Jeremiah understand his divine purpose. You
-
have a divine purpose. You have a divine purpose. Acts thirteen thirty six.
-
Now, when David had served at God's purpose in his own generation,
-
Oh oh, that's what David was doing. David was serving God's purpose in
-
his generation. I want to tell you that salvation is not the end.
-
A salvation is the beginning. It's to bring you into your divine purpose.
-
Now, it brings you into much more, much more, and things that
-
we celebrate. We celebrate a lot of what selevision brings you into. It
-
brings you into communion. We talked about that a lot this morning. It
-
brings you into communion. One of your purposes is communion with Father, and
-
one of your purposes is to receive communion from him. So salvation is huge
-
for that. But even communion with Father has an aspect about it, like
-
a goo aspect. And this maybe sounds weird to you. But even when
-
you like, the Bible says first and natural than the spiritual. That means
-
we can learn a lot about the spirit realm if we'll look at the natural
-
realm first. That's what it means. So this is interesting. But how
-
do you relate to your children? You the view that have had children,
-
that you had children, how do you relate to them? You bring them
-
there and you have cuddles, and you hug them, hugged them, hugged
-
them, hugged them. Do you spend your whole day hugging them? And
-
then you tell them, I love you, I love you, I love
-
you, I love you. You're special to me. You're special to me.
-
You're handsome, You're beautiful, You're wonderful. You're beautiful, You're wonderful,
-
handsome, handsome, beautiful, beautiful, wonderful, wonder I love you,
-
love you, love you. Do you spend your whole day doing that?
-
Or do you recognize that out of your love and a part of your
-
love is to send them forth to conquer their bicycle, to conquer algebra,
-
to conquer science, to conquer their appetites. I mean, don't write so,
-
I mean we can learn something from this, is that you actually are
-
abiding in his love. So part of him bringing you near in communion is
-
to release over you things that pertain to your destiny, and things that pertain
-
to your destiny are outside of the scope but still within the scope of salvation
-
because you're his son, you're his daughter, and so he's thrusting you.
-
He's thrusting you not from his love, but in his love. He's thrusting
-
you into your destiny, into your purpose because he's got something ordained for you
-
that nobody else can do, something you're meant to do, and he has
-
an anointing, a power upon you to do it. Isn't that fun.
-
I'm struggling a little bit vocally, but I'm coming down with a healing and
-
we're making it through and I'm gonna I'm gonna be okay. Father wanted this
-
so badly for the planet, for the other sixty nine nations, because it
-
takes all the nations to bring restoration to the planet, and Father wants the
-
planet restored. And so he shows something to a prophet named Joel. Do
-
you remember a prophet named Joel? And it became known as the Promise of
-
the Father and the Promise of the Father Jeel chapter two, twenty eight and
-
following the promise of the Father is in the last days, I will pour
-
out my spirit up on all flesh and your sons and daughters. They're going
-
to prophesy, and older folks are going to dream dreams. That doesn't mean
-
younger folks don't dream dreams, by the way, but he's just saying,
-
you know what, I want to bring everybody into the family, and I
-
want everybody to be graced for their purpose to bring righteousness into every sphere of
-
culture and society in such a way that they've partnered with me so that the
-
whole earth can be restored. So he pours out supernatural stuff on everybody,
-
dreams and visions and prophetic stuff. Yes, even on servants, men and
-
women's servants, the rich and the poor. And this is what started in
-
Acts chapter two, on the day of Pentecost, with the birth of the
-
church. It was never meant to be internalized as its full expression. Why
-
how do we know that? Because this was the promise of the Father.
-
This was what when Peter stood up and said, hey, this is what's
-
going on. The Holy Spirit. Oh my goodness, we got tongues of
-
fire on. Everybody's said, everybody's having dreams and visions, everybody's having a
-
prophetic word. There's like supernatural power on us. And everybody's like, oh
-
my goodness, the even act intoxicated and drunk. What's going on? What's
-
the soul about? Peter stands up and by the Holy Spirit says, this
-
is what Jewel prophesied. He didn't prophesied this to be internalized in the church.
-
He prophesied it for the Samuel expression, the di Vidic expression, the
-
soul expression, the Joseph expression, then am I expression, the Esther expression,
-
the Samson expression. It was all referencing back to what he did with
-
Israel. But now it was going to come on all of the nations,
-
on all flesh, all flesh will be able to tap into supernatural power so
-
that every mountain of culture can be restored. That's the mission field. The
-
mission field is us going into every mountain of culture, staying with me this
-
morning. Nathan, you want to come, you got a minute. I
-
want to pick on Nathan a little bit. One of the mountains of influences
-
government. Let's come up high because the crowd is bigger. So you know,
-
I was, I was prepared to talk about government, because you know,
-
I think there's I think that I think that we should lean, we
-
could lean. And I again, I don't mean this to be anything but
-
encouragement, because I know so many of you are already like your mind is
-
on this, your heart is on this, you're running after this, you're
-
beginning to rise up into this. So please don't receive this as anything but
-
just Holy spirit encouragement. But but I know that we are the rescue operation
-
of our nation and what's happened is and we have to be careful. We
-
have to garner hearts. We have to be really watching over our hearts,
-
because the focus of the church for the last one hundred years has turned inward
-
to the mountain of religion only, and we've had a lot of thinking that
-
our primary role is just to get a few folks saved while it all goes
-
down. And God is shifting that narrative, and he's saying, no,
-
the earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof the glory of the Lord,
-
and will cover the earth like the waters cover the sea. Of the increase
-
of his government of peace, there shall be no end. He's shifting the
-
narrative. He's shifting. He's even saying, remember the Supreme Prayer of Jesus
-
that he told us to pray Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be dawn on
-
earth as it is. So he's awakening us to see that the religious mountain,
-
it's only the supreme mountain, it's not the only mountain, and that
-
it's out of that mountain that we're fed. Out of that mountain, that
-
we're raised up. Out of that mountain were restored. But it's also out
-
of that mountain that we're sent forth for the restoration of the earth. So
-
government is one of those and I want to encourage you. I know some
-
of you have been asking how can I get involved more involved in government.
-
Some of you've been asking that. Some of you've been thinking more about education,
-
about family, about marriages. We have a need right now, a
-
huge need. You didn't know this for helping marriages. Jeff and Karen have
-
been serving with a couple's Communication Joel. There's a lot of pre marriage.
-
We're getting more phone calls for marriage and pre marriage and counseling and marriage and
-
crisis stuff than we can handle. It's an aspect of caring for the family
-
mountain, and I just want to encourage you that. I want to encourage
-
you to be praying the Holy Spirit. Where would you have me serve?
-
Where would you have me so? Where would you have me run? Where
-
would you have me go? It might not be parallel to the vocation you're
-
in right now. It might be an aspect that's different than your vocation.
-
And if that's different than your vocation, that's okay. Let Holy Spirit direct
-
you. You might spend your daytime making money this way, but your evening
-
impacting culture this way. Let God direct you, Let Holy Spirit move you,
-
and who knows, maybe the way you begin to impact culture becomes the
-
way that you then are moved vocationally as well. Let Holy Spirit do something,
-
because right now he's waking up the ecclesia. He's stirring up the ecclesia.
-
Because the power of revival, We're never going to abandon revival. By
-
the way, we will never abandon revival. The message of theme, the
-
thrust and the anointing of revival. But the power of revival is to take
-
the anointing into our sphere. That's the ultimate expression of revival. That the
-
anointing is so fluid in here, and that we have such a presence of
-
Holy Spirit here that we know we're empowered. But then we continually are shot
-
like arrows into that place where darkness is raining. Because wherever we aren't,
-
Witchcraft is raining. Wherever we aren't, darkness is raining. Wherever we aren't,
-
Satan is raining. And we are the answer to turn this nation around,
-
and the bride the church, the eccles is the answer to turn the
-
planet around. As God breaks the religious mountain open and begins decends us into
-
the other six mountains. So this morning during the huddle, Nathan said,
-
oh, my goodness, I had a dream last night. I think it
-
pertains to some of this. I want them to share it because I think
-
again, it is just it's the breaking forth of God visiting the ecclesia,
-
not just the pastor visiting the ecclesia to say, yes, I'm moving,
-
I'm stirring, I'm shaking. There's things going on. So I wanted them
-
to share a little bit because it's about the government mountain. Yeah. So
-
I had a dream and it was just so vivid, and I was thinking
-
about it the whole way here. And it was a town hall meeting and
-
like all town hall meetings that I picture, it was just confusion, frustration,
-
and there was a lot of anger in the room. And then what
-
I saw was somebody put an American flag on the table, and when that
-
happened, there was a shift and what started into doing a pledged leads and
-
stuff the flag, and then it almost went into like start spankle banner,
-
but it wasn't. It was a worship. And what happened was is people
-
just started to weep and people started to cry, and there was a shift
-
in it and everybody was worshiping. And the thing that I also noticed is
-
just the dynamics. There was young people, there was older people. But
-
the more important thing is these people didn't go and they were new and they
-
were just showing up. So these aren't the people that came in. It
-
was like they came in for this and then it just turned into worship.
-
So I just want to encourage that everybody. So this, you know,
-
this word could be for Nathan. I don't know what God's doing. Nathan's
-
been bothered over what's happening in government recently, and it could be the Holy
-
Spirit visiting him with a direction or with clarity or with hope, or with
-
some food for prayer, you know, some direction for prayer, but it
-
could be for somebody in the room here today too. So let's just put
-
our hands up though, can we do that? Holy Spirit? We welcome
-
you. We welcome you to be strong through the ecclesia. We welcome you
-
to visit us. We welcome you to point us, steer us, awaken
-
us, grab our focus. We thank you for divine purpose. We thank
-
you for divine purpose that you have ordained, that your body members carry forth
-
a divine purpose in the culture that you are giving us wisdom, clarity,
-
direction, Holy Spirit. For those watching online, those that are with us
-
today through video, this word is for them as well. This word is
-
for you as well, you watching online, Holy Spirit, we welcome you
-
to grab our hearts, Grab our hearts, grab our hearts. Send us
-
like flaming arrows into culture. We acknowledge the power of your anointing with signs
-
and wonders and the partnership of the supernatural realm to bring a shift and a
-
change to every realm, every sphere, every mountain of culture. We thank
-
you for it. We thank you for visit us individually. Holy Spirit.
-
We welcome in counter with you in the anointing seal. Our hearts come upon
-
us with a great power of cause and enable us to know that we've received
-
not only an assignment, but an anointing. We thank you for it in
-
Jesus name, and everybody said thank you Nathan, where over time we held
-
you along. Let's worship as we go. If you need prayer for anything,
-
come up to the front, just meet us here. God bless you
-
for being here today. We'd love you, and we'd love what God's doing.
