Prophetic Conference - Clem Ferris - God wants to Communicate

Touched by our worship. But you know what, as as

we were worshiping, I just.

Said to the father, say, there's some grieving being going

on in the room.

There's some folk in the room something.

And I'm not talking about somebody who's class I'm talking

about dead to dreams. And there's a number of people

in the room.

You have a dead dream.

And when I say dead dream, I don't mean that

it's just died yesterday. I mean dead and buried dream.

You know, if someone falls down in the street, you

get the panels and you press them and you try

and bring that person. I'm not talking about a recent dream.

I sense there are some people in the room whose

dream is dead and buried. It's farther than concerned. But

you still have a niggle in your heart and ale

in your spirit, God said, God said, God said, And

if that's you, I'm not going to ask you anything.

About your dream.

I'm just gonna ask you this now because.

I thought.

Some of the dreams that you've almost given up but

not quite, because God's niggling in your ear. You know,

I just said, I just want to pray, and then

I'm just going to hand over. I did not feel

a release to be able to just hand over the plants.

That's good.

I'm just going to give you ten seconds more. You

decide whether that to you or not. I'm not even

going to open my eyes. We're standing in your presence

right now. There things that we've dreamed of, and things

that you spoke about, and things that you've reminded us about. Lord,

if we're honest, we've given up, given up because the

circumstance has been giving up because of what people said.

For some of the people standing our sense, the Father

says to you, I'm going to bring a new person

alongside you. I'm going to bring a Jonathan alongside you.

And the ladies who are standing, I'm not talking about men.

I'm talking about someone like John. I'm going to come

along and stand alongside you and rekindle your dream. You'll

suddenly remember this was what God gave me, This is

what was in my heart to do, and what's been

waiting for the reason it hasn't happened yet is because

this person is going to come alongside you. Means the

catalyst of the two of you stepping into this destiny

releases the life of God and the power of the

Holy Spirit. Unto those circumstances and situations, do not give up.

When God has said, you know the promise of Jesus

went all the way to the cross and beyond, and

to the empty tomb and beyond. And when Jesus left

this earth, he sent the comfort of the Holy Spirit.

That's really what today's been very much about. God, help

us to be.

In your carters to me.

So, Father, I pray for everyone's standing.

Lord.

We stand with a.

Purpose in our heart. We're wearing a badge. We're carrying something,

Lord of You. And so Father, I pray for resurrection

power to fall upon those dreams. Would you resurrect them again?

Nor would you help us to dust them off? Would

you refresh them to us? Forr god'll we see your

kingdom come? We see businesses established, where we see small

groups established. Will we see bodies healed and people come

into the kingdom? At least two people standing. You're standing

for someone who is not yet saved. And I just

said to the Father says, no, I'm just working on

I might work on them. It's not done, it's not finished.

So Father God, we just give this afternoon to you.

We'd say thank you for what you've done so far,

do more in Jesus might today.

Wow.

No, great, not sorry. I'm just sorry if you didn't

do that, that's good. I haven't got me all messed up.

Thing's quite like cooky m hm. I just want to

add it sounds simple, but Paul said, I planted Apollos watered,

but God gives the increase.

God grows things a little. God grows. So to add

to that, Dave saying, don't give up on your dream.

In other words, the seeds are still capable of producing, but.

They can't germinate without water.

That's why the watering is the connection between the planting

and the harvesting.

So I just want to encourage some of you, and

you're gonna have to see.

God about I mean, you can use a lot of

analogies about watering man, this thing about God bringing people.

Let God wants to water you. I think all of

us need a watering, but there's people that are going

to water you. And then your response is to water others.

You can't just say I need watering. It's like God,

but then let me water others. It's this whole thing

about being a servant, not thinking of your own self.

What could be holding back to.

The dream germinating is maybe it's time for you to

water somebody. So we were in Elisha looking at Elijah's

story and on how he called Elisha acts, I mean

first King six nineteen. The seed was planned it in

the prophet Elishah from Elijah. So he planted a seed

of destiny in him.

Called him.

But then Elishah burned, his plows, killed his oxen, said

goodbye to his parents, and went and watered.

Elijah.

He poured water on the hands of Elijah, he served him,

He took the role of a servant, and then Elijah,

when he ascended, gave him a double portion fulfilled his dream.

So I think that's a significant word, Dave, And I

think God is saying, get.

Involved in God's watering process.

It's always funny how we tend to all think selfishly

at first, I need water God Ley's gold water somebody else.

See what happens, See what happens the only other watering

I want to just point out, I'm just thinking about this.

I got to actually read it.

Because the first thing you said, Dave, was what you

sensed disappointments, all right, some one six, verse five and

six some one twenty six, five and six. Those who

sow in tears shall reap with shouts of joy.

He who goes out weeping.

Bearing the seed for sowing, shall come home with shouts

of joy, bringing his sheaves with him. For those that

are have had disappointment and loss, those tears water your seeds.

It's not wasted. God doesn't waste anything. Doesn't waste your sorrow, disappointment,

those tears our water those and you sow in tears.

So there's there's a harvest coming. You can bank on it,

and the day is coming. You will shout with joy,

bringing your sheaves with them. Who goes out weeping, don't

forget in a time of weeping, you're also bearing precious seed.

Precious seed, so you can't take away from Genesis seed

time and harvest. That was one of the laws of Earth, right,

And I think we're seeing great harvest in this hour

because there's been a lot of tears. And don't give

up on your tears. I'm not wasted. They're gonna germinate

things from the past even so I don't know. I

just thought about that.

Thanks Dave. That's good.

Now I got all messed up again. About something else.

So I'm gonna I'm just diverting. I'm diverting myself. You

won't even know it. So going to go to something else.

Come to Genesis eleven, because I got thinking more and

more about our words, the power of our words. I

think it was here last time I spoke on the

power of the tongue and words, and I was actually

thinking about preaching some of this tomorrow. But I'm going

in a different direction. But I just want to point

out something about the power of our unity. It comes

out of our words. And the enemy knows that, and

so he tries to divide. And he starts with words.

What divides us is voices. Voices come in and try

to divide. So Genesis eleven, we know it's the story

of the Tower of Babbel. Don't have to rehearse that.

They said in verse four. Let us build ourselves a

city and a tower with this top in the heavens.

Let us make a name for ourselves. See how selfish

we can be. It's all about me, build my own building, building.

And here's why, lest we be dispersed over the face

of the whole earth, profound unity right around wrong realities, pride,

and fear, profound unity. This is what we're going to

do because we're afraid we might get dispersed. So we're

going to build ourselves a tower that's going to go

all the way to heaven. Powerful unity. But it was

centered around the wrong concepts. So they had one language going.

And the Lord came down to see the city and

the tower which the children of men had built, and

the Lord said, behold, they are one people and they

all have one language. And you think that's not bad.

We want unity, right unless it's centered on the wrong thing.

And this is only the beginning of what they will do,

and nothing that they purpose to do will now be

impossible for them. That's the flip side of unity, profound unity.

Nothing can stop them. But they were their their unity

was based on fear and pride. God's not going to

have it, so he said, let us go down and

confuse their language. So we're talking about voices, clear voices

in a cluttered world, confusing world, confusing messages, confusing voices.

And it started back here.

God had to confuse because if you get unity around

the wrong thing, it'll be destructive. And God resists the proud,

not going to have it so I just think we

need to continue to stay humble. We're not building our

own thing. We're building people. Remember, really we're not been

building a sure so I said Jesus, No, I'll build

the church if you build people, if you serve, build people.

So we need humility, that's all. I just thought that

was an interesting point around unity. So any questions so far?

Usually he saved Q and A till the end, but

usually were so tired and exhausted. I can't even think

about any questions at the moment. So far, anything we

covered this morning you've forgotten already. I understand what did

we covered this morning? Any questions in all comments, and

anybody learned something if you have not heads nodding, But

they're introverts and they don't want to talk in the crowd,

so yeah, go here and then here.

Yeah.

Since two days since uh MO, when either Charlie's that,

and it just it was a shoot to me from

inside out and I just realized, what's the reality, and

I was I was in a different phase. And after that,

I don't know, I just see his videos and follow

him on Instagram, But that really showed me from inside out.

That made me ask questions to myself, if something happens

to me, what will I be remembered for?

Yeah?

Good, I love that framework at five points.

Somebody, it's just.

So yeah, just watching Yeah, And.

I found Paul, thank you, And I found I practiced

that at church. It's my easiest audience, right, just go

out in the foyer. You know, we have people milling

around and just what God's challenged me to do. It's

so easy because I travel a lot. I miss a

lot of Sundays. On Sunday, I like to be with

my buddies and my friends and people. I know, Hey,

how you doing? How is your trapping? But God's challenging

me to take a step back and look for people

I don't know and just watch people that are not connected.

They're just standing there with a cup of coffee against

the wall and they're like this, You're almost like frightened.

Like they're sitting there drink sipping a coffee, looking around

like there's anybody like me. It's like and I'm trying

to be drawn to that.

And then I just walk over, Hey, how you doing?

What's your name?

I have it easy because I'm in leadership. I said,

my name is Clem'm one of the elders here.

How long you been coming? And I just started, how

you doing?

You know, if I can't do it in my own

church with people that are actually there because they either

already know Jesus or they want to, then it's be

harder out there.

So I appreciate that too. It's an easy on ramp

for people.

Yet He told us about really and visions and sometimes

we've been to you knowledge. But where you have a

dream which is more about you and somebody else, when

you're presenting that dream, you I kind of think you

need to say it as you saw it, But in

your teaching you kind of said you.

You make it positive?

How would you advise to lay or to tell people

dreams about it?

So, if God gives you a dream about another person.

A vision about another person, Yeah, so.

There is a tendency to say I'm not gonna say

it because I'm afraid what they're gonna feel is a

tendency to say, well, God said it.

If I don't say.

It, then it's like kind of my fault to share.

So how what's the best way to share d vision?

I have a very tiny theology around dreams because it's

such a very tiny subject. It's big in some ways,

it's very It's interesting because the dream world is the

one world that only God can control because you're unconscious.

If it's truly a dream given way, you're unconscious. First

of all, it's totally God initiated. How many go to

bed at night and say, I'm going to dream about this.

Give God five subjects. Take a subject.

You know, we can't control that.

So I figure, if God initiates it, my first responsibility

is to go right back to God and start asking

a lot of questions.

So, God, what did that mean? Who is that for?

What do I share? You got to start there because

I don't have those answers. Because I don't. I didn't

give the dream. And I'm very careful in the New

Testament if you realize that there's a lot of there's

dreams in the Old Testament. There are dreams in the

Old Covenant up to when I came that we have

the Holy Spirit. Now, the Holy Spirit can still give

you a dream, but we have the Holy Spirit now.

It's the operating systems really sped up. It's internal now,

it's personal. It doesn't have to come. You can still

get dreams. I've had maybe three in my whole Christian life. Three,

I say dreams from God where God I was in

a scenario and I woke up and I was like,

oh wow, what do I do? The only reason I

know was from God because I still remember them. I

don't know about you. When I don't have a dream

from God, it's gone in seconds. You wake them and

go I've coped that, and all of a sudden like

I don't remember. But I can remember the dreams that

God gave because I can still remember him today. And

two of them were something I shared with someone that

really encouraged them, and.

I waited on it a long time, thinking what am

I going to do with this?

I waited and I waited, and then I sent an

email and I got nothing for two weeks. I thought, well,

that was weird, and then I got a six para

five paragraphs from someone. So I don't know well honestly,

other than ask God, go back to the God that

gave the dream. He has all the answers. We should

have a lot of questions. He has all the answers.

That's not what you wanted to hear, but that's my theology.

I don't have any anybody else have any thoughts on

the dreams deve.

I was just going to add to that, it doesn't

matter whether it's in church, outside church, or anywhere else.

I don't put yourself on the pedestal.

Number one.

Yeah, sense I feel so, and if so so, be

accountable with what we share.

Test it. But then but then also a huge space

for people to explore it with you.

So, hey, I remember I thought of you the other

day that you have to say to dream I thought

of you the other day, and I have this picture.

I just want to show you that you have to

say to drink picture I want to show I don't

know what it might.

Mean to you, but I just want to share it

with you.

And if they say thank you very much, goodbye, you

know six paragraph to two weeks later. Sometimes it takes time.

You don't get an immediate response, and that's okay. So

one time he checked it out, we've got I would

always if it's companty down and got people and nothing

knew it. And there's I can think of at least

two examples where wife had dreams and they'd come back

to or we can't. So I don't think you play

you have to share it, that's fine. You've got really

wants you to share, it will come back to you again.

If he wants it to be shared with that person

will use somebody else. May examples where the same dreams

in gyms are the same person by two different people.

But I would just be soft with it, loving with it, encouraging,

but then also accountable.

Yeah, this whole thing I talked about earlier, about our

fascination with phenomena over principle, and we we'd rather seek

a manifestation than habitation. It's like I go back to

doing to be thirteen one through four. We're Moses was

warning the people. If a prophet or a dreamer of

dreams arises among you and gives you a sign or

a wonder, and the sign or the wonder that he

tells you comes to pass, We're all going Yay. That's

the kind of church.

I want to go to. Charismatic church.

And if he says, though, let us go after other

gods which you have not known, let us serve them.

You shall not listen to the words of that prophet

or that dreamer of dreams, for the Lord your God

is testing you. Interesting God, what God would use to

test us. He'll use a dream that comes to pass.

He'll use a prophecy that comes to pass, signs, wonders

that come to pass. He tests you to know whether

you love the Lord your God with all your heart

and with all your soul, or if you just love manifestations.

That's a big test because we all want the manifestations,

but do you love that more than God himself? So

that was a test for the people of the Old

Covenant too. It's an interesting world.

And I also have a question or just something that

landed well today. Okay, we'll keep going.

Yeah, Rob, go ahead.

I like the idea of, for example, if you had

something to share with someone it was negative.

Yeah, I think this was He sort of said it

you did the other way around, right.

I think that was.

Something with listening for someone who's got the experience.

It's like I said, you almost need a gift of

criticize people.

I have the gift of criticism. Yeah, we can.

You can see you to point out faults and all

those things. We know that, but how do we encourage

somebody that's struggling hurting.

Yeah, everything was great, lovely, So thank you so much.

Shap Just maybe a little bit more of a complicated question.

I wrote down the ten the.

Ten points that you mentioned and the stewarding and if

you really seeking.

The Lord and you you're.

Looking at your circumstances, you've spoken sort of a council elements.

The peace element, dreams, thoughts, nature, supernatural, the words or

small voice or if you.

Still not getting it? What if it's still not clear?

Yea, what do you do? Then they that weigh upon

the Lord will be mistake. That's the heart.

All of that comes under the umbrella of God's timing,

which is not our timing. But stick with the principles

of wisdom, Council standard, spiritual authority. There's there's some key

ones there. You can't say I need all ten, but

the key ones to me are are you under spiritual

authority because that's where you're If you're not, you're open

to all kinds of voices and does it line up

with this number one?

And spiritual authority?

Those are so important, and then counsel of others who

trusted counselors. We a need other people in our life

to speak into our life. It's just a list. We

have to just work with it. God's so creative. He's

not even stuck to that list. He can do it

some other way. But there's a waiting period, and then

there's the stepping out in faith, which is the hard

for all of us.

Do we or don't we? Let's do it.

I always say this way, why I check my own heart,

like if I don't.

Do it, so I have any regrets.

And if you feel any kind of regret or if

you feel free like well, I'm not going to do that,

not no problem.

But if insidelight, I'm not going to do that.

Boy, I'd sure like to do it. But you know,

when we wrestle on the inside, and that's where you

go back to. Peace becomes the umpire. Let the peace

of God make the final call. And when you're married,

it's really important that a husband wife had that piece

together because one spouse can say I just don't have

peace about that. You're going, wow, what's the problem? God

does that on purpose so we don't mess up, right.

But when you come into unity in your marriage particularly,

I say, it's pretty much an unstoppable force because if

any two of usually agree on earth is touching, it

shall be done by the Father because he works in

that unity He's a unifying God.

You have to wrestle for it.

Sometimes you have to humble yourself sometimes like you need

to see it my way, and it's like, I don't.

Feel peace about your way. We've all been there. Helpful.

Let me just touch on one other thought and then

we'll do some more activations. I call this the stream

of inner transaction. What's really what we're really trying to

get in touch with is these inner voices, the voice

of God in us, our own voice in us. This

is where a lot of the conversations of our day

go on. I call it self talk. You talk to

yourself more than you talk to anybody else. Even when

you're online and texting, you're still talking. So Deuteronomy twenty nine,

twenty nine, it's kind of a life verse for me.

Love I Loved.

It was one of the first verses ever prophesied my

wife and I forty some years ago, my doctor Bill

Hammond says, the secret things belong to God.

Aren't you glad? God can keep a secret about you?

But the things that are revealed belong to us that

we can do all the words of the law. What's

amazing about that is there's something that will never find out.

There's secrets. The secret things belong to God. God, why

that happened secret?

I can't. It's like that mystery.

But the things that are revealed to us through the

word of God and through prophecy and through other through revelation,

they belong to us so that we could want do

all the words that are revealed. So that means what

God's word was designed for action, not just to be heard. Yes,

take heed how you hear, Take here what you hear,

but don't be a hearer only James says, be a

doer of the word. So God's word was designed for action,

which means there's a divine energy. When God speaks to us,

there's a divine energy that we can capture so we

can do what he says. And that is always available

if you'll walk in faith and obedience, the energy to

do what God says to do. So when God talks,

he talks in divine energy, not just words. We think

it's just not just words, it's not. I mean, there's

divine energy from that's where the Holy Spirit comes in

behind the words. Jesus said, the words I speak their's

spirit and life. Who else can say that? I mean

because he's God. But we have the Holy Spirit, the

same Holy Spirit, and so when God speaks through us

to someone, that's why you think, well, that was kind

of a simple little word.

I see in you.

I see in you faithfulness and joy. Well, there's divine

energy behind faithfulness and joy when you speak it to

someone under the power of the spirit, and it works

in the negative. That's why curses are effective. You can curse.

That's why the tongue is so powerful, because we can

curse people. And he said, James was warning, said you

win and say you bless God with the same tongue

you curse your.

Brother made in the image of Christ. Because we can't

do that.

So this inner stream, the word was designed for action,

to do the words of the Lord. Because the Word

eventually wants to incarnate itself in you. That's the design.

It doesn't want to be words in a book. It's

a nice little book I carry on. It's supposed to

get in here to incarnate itself. It wants to be me.

Jesus wants to come into me and make Clem more

like Jesus.

And so.

We expressed the word of God through us. That's called

being a Christian. Witness whatever. But it's not just a

scripture verse. I have a scripture verse. I have a

memory verse for you. That's the Bible. But you can

have a PhD in the Bible and never touch the word.

You understand when I'm going here, it's the word in us.

It's the word.

The word became flesh and dwelt among us. So the

Bible is different from the Word. The Bible is a

collection of letters and words and epistles and all that.

But when you touch the word, something happens. You know it.

You can open the book with words in it and scriptures.

But when the word touches you, you change. You know it.

You look and they go, oh that's good, I need

to do that. You feel it.

So it discerns you. That's what he was for, talks

all about the Word of God is alive.

It's powerful, it's alive. He was four twelve.

It sharp, sharper than a two edge of sort. It

pierces us, divides soul and spirit, joints and marrow. It

discerns you. It's a discerner of the thoughts and the

intents of the heart. We realize when we pick this

thing up and start getting it in us. Something's happening,

and so it's a living spirit. It transforms us. We're

talking about transformation, going from revelation to transformation. I mean

it's like spiritual voltage. We may not see it like lights,

but you can feel it because if you you have

to go with the expectation God.

I need to change.

I picked this book up. Change me right, or you

reject it. Either reject it or get mastered by it.

It's not something you play with. I can reject it, yeah,

or I'd rather have it master me, master my thoughts.

I need to submit my mind to the Bible.

Right.

We don't make the Bible submit to our culture. We

submit to the Bible. So Paul goes into ephesis Acts

nineteen Aaull strolls into exodent ephesis emphasis, and he starts

teaching in the synagogue. And some people didn't like it.

They rejected it.

It split the church and that nice preaching.

But Paul took believing people to what they call the

School of Tyrannus and he taught them every day for

three years. Would you like to center that teaching? That

first class I'm signing up for in heaven.

I want to go to.

Paul's class learn some things anyway, So he had two

systems of discourse. I'm going to read this out of

Acts nineteen eight through ten, reasoning and persuading.

So here we go. I'm talking. This is still the

study the inner transaction.

But you got to see, we want to be transformed

by the renewing of our mind and how we're transformed.

This is all about transformation. He entered the synagogue and

for three months spoke boldly. I said years, didn't I'm

at months. I'll take it for three years if it's falling,

So no, sorry, it's three years.

He continued for two more years. Anyway.

He ended the synagogue for three months bold spoke, how boldly,

reasoning and persuading them about the Kingdom of God. Reasoning

and persuading. Reasoning means educating their mind. Persuading means seducing

their hearts. I like that, convincing by argument, right, seducing

their hearts, not just their heads. Reasoning. I'm persuading about

the kingdom, not church kingdom. But when some became stubborn

and continued in unbelief, speaking evil of the way before

the congregation, he withdrew from them and took the disciples

with him, reasoning daily in the hall of Tyrannus. This

continued for two years, so that all the residents of

Asia heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Greeks.

I think that's just phenomenal. Something was going on inside

these disciples, and Paul began to touch their minds. He spoke

to such away their hearts began to yield to him,

and he didn't give information.

I don't think he changed their hearts.

That's what we want to do, even that simple exercise,

like how can I build someone's life. Our prayer has

to be I want to touch their heart.

God. I don't want to just give them information.

You know, we all get victims of social media where

they're just bombarding our brains right and information overload, and

I want something that changes my heart.

And so the Bible says that.

The word of God grew and prevailed, and notice said

all Asia heard the Gospel. We forget about how powerful

that happened in those early days, and they didn't have

the Internet. So he graduated these students and he sent

them out to proclaim, proclaim the gospel, which was spread

out over the whole area. So what happens later then

a spirit called Diana manifested in the city of Ephesus

wild time there. So I'll just quickly reference in the

rest of this chapter verse twenty three, whilst back in

verse twenty one is okay if we read the Bible,

he said, this is boring. These stories are unbelievable. Act

nineteen twenty one. After these events, Paul resolved in the

Syriate to paest through Macedonia and a Kay and go

to Ruslem, saying, after I've been here that I must

also see Rome.

Have you sent in a Massadonia two of.

His helpers, Timothy and Erastus. He himself stayed in Asia

for a while. About that time there arose no little

disturbance concerning the way. For a man named Demetrius, a

silversmith who was making silver shrines of Artemis, brought no

little business to the craftsmen.

These.

He gathered together with the workmen similar trades, and said, men,

you know that from the business we've had all this

wealth and all this is going on. Okay, And you

hear that not only in Ephesus, but almost all of Asia.

This Paul Kay has persuaded and turned away a great

many people saying that God's made with hands are not gods,

and there's danger, not only in this trade. Some would

say AI is real. I mean, I don't know how

you transpose this into our day, but this is not

going away, because this is for our benefit. Of how

you disturbed the spirit realm with your presence with the gospel.

The Gospel disturbs the spirit realm, caused things to happen,

and it stirs up in the marketplace, stirs up in

the economies.

This is what's happening here.

And so he's preaching in the spirit called Diana, her

greatest Artemis. It depends on the Greek or which the

Greek is Diana is the Roman name. The Greek name

was Artemis, Verse twenty eighth. They were and raised. They

were crying out greatest Artemis of the Ephesians. So the

city was filled with confusion. They rushed together into the theater,

dragging with him Gaius and Aristarkus and Macedonians, who were

Paul's companions. When Paul wished to go in among the crowd,

the disciples wouldn't let them. Even some of the asy Arcs,

who are friends of his, sent to him urging him

not to venture into the theater. Now some cried out

one thing, some cried out for another. The assembly was confused.

All this is going on, Greatest Artemis of the Ephesians,

I'm skipping, And so Paul comes in and wrecks the

whole system meta ephesis, verse twenty thirty five. Who is

that does not know that the city Ofesians is a

temple keeper of the Great Artemis and of the sacred

stone that fell from the sky. And see all this

false religion, all these false narratives coming in, a lot

of voices out there, confusing voices. We need a clear

voice in a world of confusion. There's all this confusion

around false idle worship. These kings cannot be denied. You

ought to be quiet and do nothing rash, and you've

brought these men here who are neither sacrilegious or blasphemers

our goddess. If therefore Demetrius and the craftsroom with him

haven't complained of against anyone. The courts now they're bringing

into legal The courts are open. There's pro consuls, and

let them bring charges.

And all this is going on.

What happens is Paul hits the economic system with the

word of God.

Do you think our words are that powerful?

Yes? Indeed, now of the church, Diana manifested in the

trade union right in the in tough where he was

Paul's proclaiming and preaching and changing the minds of the people,

and hits the economic system because the basis autonomy was

they were building shrines to false gods that was running

the whole city, and people are epics as a major

trade route and all this is going on, and he

began to shift their minds and he changed the market.

And the devil comes down and manifest in a mob

scene with the trade unions. Great is the gods of

Great is the goddess Diana. And then they dragged Paul

before the council and Paul goes good.

She was exposed. She can go on.

Could God put us in a position where we help

expose the works of darkness by what proclaiming the gospel,

teaching and persuading right, reasoning with people, persuading people. So

now we go beyond just a prophetic word. We go

we go.

Into making disciples.

This is all done because Paul was making disciples, and

that's that's the other task. We have not just giving

a good price, and I hope you feel better. That's good,

good start, I see in you. But now let's change

your thinking. And the world is out to change the

thinking of the young. They start real early. They're just

bombarding it. So going back to the stream of intertransaction,

I use the word streaming. I'm not a real tech

head like Davis, but streaming basically is a technique to

transfer data.

We call it live streaming.

You know, if you're live streaming, you're transferring data so

it can be processed and become a stream somewhere else.

They can pull it in somewhere else.

So whoever's getting the data, like right now, my voice

is becoming data. You process it and convert it either

to sound or pictures or both. So we said this morning,

what the seeing eye and the hearing here?

God made them both.

He made you with the ability to stream spiritual data.

He made it that way.

So media that's continuously received and displayed is what we're

tapping into. How much is God thinking about us?

Oh?

If I tried to count them, it's like counting sand.

God's constantly got a stream going. We can tap that

stream of intertransaction of inner data, the data from heaven

can come to us, right, So we're describing a delivery system,

a delivery method, not the media itself.

It's the system. Understand that you have a system.

God wired you a certain way with an ability to

hear to stream revelation, and that revelation, as we're pointing out,

brings transformation. It's when you get revelation, it's like I change.

So that's why Jesus said, take heed how you hear?

Pay attention the system of what happens when a word

hits your ears and everything's competing for your attention. And

that's the problem now, Like I've never seen.

It as bad.

I've never had it so bad where so much is

competing for my attention. I have to take heed how

I hear? What happens when the word of God falls

on my ear? When I hear a word from God?

What's the transaction that's taking place in me? So that

stream of inner transaction, that's the dialogue that's taking place

inside of you. Right now, you're hearing my voice, but

you're talking to yourself. There's words flying all around the room, right.

It's the impact of the word of God hitting you.

It produces a transaction, a stream of understanding. It can

even produce some emotions, comprehension, some kind of memory triggers

connecting truth to your inward parts. We say hearing the

voice of God. It comes in, it's informative, it informs you,

and so it helps you focus on something. You just

focus on one thing God tells you to start changing.

One thing in that process is God's word coming in

your ears.

And we have to just be aware, take heed, be

careful how you hear, be careful what you.

Hear, not just hearing a message.

So we call it the flow of divine dialogue, this

ongoing voice in you.

And the thing that I.

Think the thing the challenge is what are you going

to be hearing when you leave? You're hearing me. I'm

flapping away best I can. But the stream can run

for a long time. The transactions that are going on

in the spirit, the words that are coming from the

spirit of God, they can last for an entire year.

I mean a seminar can go from nine to three

and can last for six months in you right, because

the transformation process is a listening process. We're transformed by

the renewing of our minds.

We have to hear.

So we're gonna have to really fight clutter. We're gonna

have to fight it. I think Dave really nailed the topic.

It spoke so loudly to me. It's like, yep, there's

many voices out there and they're all saying, listen to me,

I'm the truth.

So I say, we need the other AI.

We need anointed intelligence, right, not artificial anointed that the

stream will run. And so I'm gonna I'm going to

really break more rules. I'm going to jump to Dave's

assignment before we get into an activity. I want to

go to the back of your paper those three things

because right now I want the stream to speak to you.

You don't realize that there's God's been streaming in you

since nine thirty this morning.

And that's why I start out probing you, like what

are you hearing? What did God say? What stuck out

to you?

I did that on purpose to kind of get you

to go back through your your inner stream. That stream

of intertransaction's God speaking to your heart right now. So

take a moment and just take a let's just take

maybe five.

Six minutes, that's two minutes each.

Question, but just write down some things now so that

you can take it and stream it as you go.

Just you know, catch that fire. We were talking about

catch the fire.

Now, we'll take a few minutes. Okay, h.

M hm.

I don't know what else Dave had in mind for

this these things? Was it just for their own personaldinicate

that's and you can add to that. I just want

you to think now as we say, what strike while

the iron's hot?

You know, the fire is a fear? Just right now?

What's streaming and being aware? Like how does inner stream going?

And that's that's our homing signal. It takes us back home,

helps us here.

I'm just out of ps to that.

Go ahead.

There will be some things you thought that you haven't

written down because you're not brave enough to write them

down or talk to myself here as well. You know,

as soon as you write it down, it's become a

bit more concrete than the next thing we can do is,

once we've written down, we might choose to share that

with someone. Because we make ourselves accountable. You have to

share it to the world, soone you trust, and by

sharing it with them, you're asking them to.

Come back at you. But it's like, how's it going?

And you might not have done it, that's okay, But

I got to come.

Back because that's what.

Accountability is all about. So I always write it down,

share one, two, maybe three with someone you trust, and

then have a conversation in a month's time, six months

time to see because this is the fruit of the

this is the fruit of the in six months time,

what's happened because of.

What you learn to die?

Yeah, it's all They get tired of my voice eventually. Okay, good,

that's a good start. But you know, just again, this

this inner dialogue is there. I wanted you just get

a realization there's something going on inside of me that

I sometimes am so easy to ignore.

And again we have.

To sort through self talk. But there's the divine dialogue

is always available. I think that's what I always have

to blow my mind myself for what I do. When

I'm tired and going somewhere and have to travel overseas

and go and have to do a meeting, and you're

sitting in a meeting, I can't understand a word around me.

I can't even read it on the screen.

And I got to get up and say something through

an interpreter, and inside I'm going I got nothing, and

then I remind myself, wait a minute, I got the

Holy Spirit.

And I can't love one person in that room. I've

never met him. But I do know this.

The love of God has shed brought in my heart

by the Holy Spirit. And that goes back to what

we started with.

It's his love, not mine.

I don't have a goape. We're not born with a gope.

We're born with selfish love, familiar love. We love our families,

we love ourselves. We love ice cream, but we don't.

That's that's the other There's four Greek words for love,

but that the one we have to import supernaturally is

a goatpe. It's like the moon. The moon doesn't have

its own light. Where does the moon get its light from?

It's a reflection of the sun. Where do you get

your gape from a reflection of the sun. The other one,

you know what I'm saying, pull on it, desperately, pull

on it, and God always shows up because it's a promise.

So the prophetic dimension is that frequency by which Heaven

and Earth communicating.

That's all we say prophetic.

And there's a lot of misunderstanding there's a lot of

weird definitions. It's simply Heaven and Earth communicating inner It's

that invisible stream of transaction that takes place between the

divine mind of God and the heart of man. And

so anytime Heaven communicates with Earth, it's prophetic. So you

can have prophetic dreams or prophetic. You should be prophetic

when you read your Bible. Here's the other shocker. Every

time you pray, you're being prophetic, whether you even tend

to or not. Why you're communicating with Heaven. The only

thing is a lot of times we cut off, we

get done with our lecture, we get done, and we

walk away before give God a chance to respond because

we want two way communication. But that is the dimension

by Heaven and Earth communicating. So I say it this way.

This kind of is shocking, just for me. You can't

have a prayer life and not be prophetic, and you

can't be prophetic and not have a prayer life. They

go together, so you're always crying out to God. So

I want to review it real quick. We got some

slides for the next one.

I think.

Just I'm going to do a quick review on hearing.

You know the fact that God wants to communicate. It

called God wants to communicate. He's really wanting to communicate.

So you can all prophesy by hearing his voice real quick.

We already did someone thirty nine. That's the first one.

Just remind you God's always thinking about you. I'm doing

this on purpose because you're all going to be prophesying

in a minute. And I excided lock the doors.

I can't run.

God communicates, It's part of his being. Here's the thing

you got to remember. He spoke to man in the

Old Testament and New Testament. He created us to hear

his voice. The key is relationship. But what's interesting in

Genesis three, regardless of our standing with God, we think

that we can tinually cut God off kind of. I

got to tell you something. God pursued Adam when he sinned.

Who started talking? After Adam sinned? God, God initiated conversation.

So the next time you're feeling so bad about yourself

and the devil's telling you God doesn't love you anymore

and you just sinned, and how dare you go to church?

And how dare you even try to pray? Because of

all this, He's the accuser of the Brethren right. God

will pursue you sometimes more so when you're running from him.

It's like parents, right, we tend to raise our voice

a little and pursue a little more and repeat ourselves

when there's a troubled child. Everything's fine, everything's fine. Did

you hear me, I said? Volume goes up. We repeat

why we want to pursue our kids to get him

out of the predicament. So God does that regardless of

our standing. And so the other thing is we went

to Samuel already. But remember the key to hearing is relationship.

You begin to trust that must be God. That's God's voice.

I'm hearing like Samuel did, and then we already did, Isaiah.

He awakens our ear to hear, but then he'll challenge

our eyes to see. Remember we have two major with

the audio in the visual going. That stream has audio

visual capacity. We talked about the ears being woken up

and the tongue being taught. And I love this about

our eyes. This is so powerful, Zechariah, for he's Here's

God coming and training the prophets. So the angel he'll

he has to send an angel, Send an angel. The

angel who talked to me came again and woke me

like a man who's awakened out of his sleep, and

he said to me, what do you see? Listen for

questions from God. God speaks a lot to me. He

initiates a conversation with questions, why are you doing that?

What do you think you're doing? Where are you going?

It's like that, what do you see?

I see a lampstand of gold, a bowl on top

and all that, and it gets all done. He says,

you've seen well, Jeremiah. The same thing comes to Jeremiah. Jeremiah,

what do you see? And here's where you know you think, well,

this is so lame, Jeremiah, what do you see? I

want it to be really profound God, this could end

up in the Bible, So I got to make this

really profound prophecy.

What do you see?

Tearby? What do you see?

I just see a stick?

You have seen well? It's like sometimes we minimize something

that has huge metaphorical potential for a message. And he's going,

I just see an almond branch. And God said, you

have seen well, and then he adds this amazing phrase

that I can't take time to take it apart. But

he goes for I am watching over my word to

perform it. And that whole idea, of the whole idea

of the Hebrew word for watching is literally it ah.

It's compared to verse. It's the same word used for almond.

The word almond is actually the same Hebrew derivative word.

When he says I see a watching I see a

watching branch, he goes, God, I don't know, I just

see this almond braces. No, the almond is the key.

I'm watching. I'm watching over my word to perform it.

And there's all this metaphor in there.

Sometimes we take this, we think it's so silly. So

it's a sot plain, vanilla, prophecy, prophetic word.

How could this mean anything to anybody? So I just

did a.

Little exercise like we did this morning, and maybe we'll

do a couple more with a group. And I did

the one on one sharing. You know, just pray for

the person and just get all work. If all you

get is one word, that's fine. Don't try to preach,

don't try to just you know, go.

With what you get. That type of thing. So then

I did the testimony. Susan wants a chair? Who wants testimony?

This two ladies up front, So what I'd like to share?

I said, okay, Well what happened there? Said? Well, you said,

if you just get one word, share one word. So

when I started to pray for this sister, I literally

all I got was one word. I just saw a

picture of a rose. That's all I saw. And I'm waiting, like,

what else?

Nothing? What else?

Nothing? And you kept saying, if you just get one word,

go ahead and give you one.

Funny.

She apologizes to the woman and says, I am so sorry.

All I got was one word rose, and the lady

starts crying. She just put her head down and started crying.

And then she's going, ooh, what did I say? And

the story goes the woman who received the word rose

was driving to the seminar that morning. She just lost

her mother a few weeks before, and she's praying, says, Lord,

so grieving my mother.

I could use some encouragement today. Could you just encourage

me that my mother's with you? She prayed.

That went to the seminar, went through the hall, the exercises,

get down, share one word, and the lady goes, I'm sorry,

but all I got was rose.

She goes, my mother's name was rose.

She saw a flower, she heard her mother's name from heaven.

That's what she needed. And we so man to minimize.

Sometimes this is so lame, it's so elementary. I'm sorry,

we apologize. I see stick ice a rose.

We never know. That's why. Just go with what.

God gives you, and don't don't try.

To figure God out. Just walk in obedience.

And so a quick one, more primary than we're gonna

do an exercise, It says one Christian's fourteen desire spiritual gifts. Desire. Now,

the word is zalao in the Greek Zalao. Where's Zozo,

who's death? It's really close to your name because yeah,

oh there you go. So Zolao means to be hot

and fervid and boil. Okay, I like this definition. Zolao

is a compelling force that comes. It literally means to,

like when Paul said to Timothy, stir up the gifts

of God that's on a zo peretto being Zoe. The

life peretto is fire, and Anna means over and over

and over you stir up the fire in you, like

breathing on a fire that's going out. So this idea

of desire spiritual gifts means a compelling force that causes

you to take a leap into the supernatural to bless

someone else. To sound like, well, what's going to happen

if I do that? It's not about you. I want

to bless them so bad. I'm going to take a

leap into the supernatural and desire a spiritual gift for them.

Covet to prophesy. It don't like that word covet almost

like are we allowed to covet one thing prophecy? I'll shout,

not covet all the other stuff. But Paul said, here's

one thing you get to covet. So why prophecy?

What now?

So first, Qrinty is fourteen, real quick. I got two

more little primers for you that will help us. And

then we're going to do I'm going to bless our

brothers and sisters collectively. First Christie is fourteen. Paul, give

so much good instruction here. Pursue love, ernest Remember, pursue love.

That all this only work, it works by love.

Can't forget that.

Earnestly desire spiritual gifts, especially that you can prophesy.

Why why?

Especially because I use a picture of a tree prophecy

is like the trunk of the tree. All the other

eight gifts manifestations are the branches, because they all are

activated by the Holy Spirit speaking to you. Especially that

what you can communicate with heaven and earth desire spiritual gifts,

especially what the communication mode, so that you know, if

it's a word of knowledge, word of wisdom? Do I

pray for healing? How do I manifest what God wants

members as He wills? So that's really important. And at

the end the whole chapter, Paul says, so my brothers

earnestly desire to proph siye and do not forbid speaking

in tongues. Why did it close with don't forget tongues,

because that's.

The key to opening it up.

Now I want to go back to what we already

had in verse three, Verse two. He that speaks in

the tongue speaks not under men under God. Right verse three,

the one who prophesies speaks to people for their upbuilding.

There's the word like a domain and their encouragement parakletos.

You see all Greek scholars now right now it's like, oh,

I know that word consolation. Now Verse five is so important, Well,

I got can't do Verse four. The one who speaks

in the tongue builds up who himself? You ever need

some building up there? It is? Why do you think

the devil hates tongue so much? Why do you think

it's one of the most controversial doctrines since Pentecost? Power, love, supernatural,

opens the door of the supernatural, all those things, and

you encourage yourself. The one who prophesies builds up the church.

Now verse five, so key, will you all to speak

in tongues? Is? Could Paul be more clear? He didn't say,

unless you're a Baptist. He said, I want you all

to speak in tongues. The next phrase is crucial. My

translation says but even more King James says, but rather prophesy.

But in the Greek it's a purpose clause, and it

means I want you all to speak in tongues in

order that you can prophesy. We see the connection between

spirit language, which is prophecy prophecy spirit language in a

known language. Tongues is spirit language and then unknown. That's

the only difference either way. You've got to use your tongue,

and if your tongue is unsubmitted.

Do you know the biggest indicator.

I want to say this, really pastorally kind, I'm speaking

to myself. Fighting tongues is a key indicator of pride.

It'll show somebody if you've got pride, it'll stop you

from speaking in tongues, because that's all it is. I'm

concerned about me. What are people going to think about me?

I feel like a fool?

And on and on. The devil will just feed that stream.

There's another stream of intertransaction that a lot of people

is running in them because someone told in that. I

find the two biggest hindrances to speaking in tongues is

number one false doctrine that has been taught to you,

and the carnal mind, which is where your thoughts come from.

You'll talk yourself right out of it. So what do

you do?

You have to yield?

If the humble yourself say, okay, God, you said I

could do it, I'm supposed to do it.

You want me to.

I'm going to yield the most unruly member of my body,

which is my tongue, according to James, to you, in

order that I can what bless somebody else prophesy.

So that's why that's so important.

So we have all these I had those all other

there already, or is Jonathan doing his magic again? So

next thing, I.

Can stir up the gift. These are just little tips.

Stir up the gift, ono Zoe pereto fired up. You

prophesy according to the proportion of your faith, that's all,

and then worship will help. At times, there was a

time when Elisha was asked to Prophesye were some nasty kings.

There was one good king. He's basically like, Okay, I

don't like you guys, but I'll do it for him.

But you guys are all messed up, and bring me

a minstrel so I can prophesy. What sometimes you got

to change the atmosphere and speaking in tongues. When you

receive a word, we'll all have this little moment. Is

this God or this me? Can I say for purposes

of our afternoon? The first word you get is God

like rose. That can't be true, So so what am

I going to get?

You might get an impression of a.

Biblical principle love, faith, hope, joy, a Bible story. Real quick,

you're like, I see you look David. God reminds me

right away, I see David, and then God can open

things up, a rain of word, mental picture of something, someone,

Bible character, all those things can happen. Paul prayed for

the Fesian Christians, Christians Peasians one the eyes of their

heart would be enlightened. You got two sets of eyes

right set here and a set here. And he didn't

say that the eyes would be opened. He said that

they would be enlightened, which means to take in light.

But the Greek word is fotidzos, where we get the

word photograph. What's Paul saying. Use your heart as a camera.

It's a spiritual camera. He said, I'm just praying that

the eyes of your heart would what the lens, Take

the lens cover off and let God put light in

there and produce an image that fast. He's faster than

the internet. It's just fast. You'll get a picture. Like

Dave said, what did you say earlier over Jonathan, when

you pray, yeah, boom, you gotta cann of fruit sell it.

And that's where you kind of go.

This is so lame. I can't believe in. But Dave's

been doing this long time. But then you just say, okay, God,

what does this mean? So here's our exercise in our

last few minutes. I want you to stand up and

pair up. Why don't you just just do table because

this is going to be just We can just do

it at the table. Pair up and if you haven't,

if you're odd, if you have three people or five,

raise your.

Hand and we will match you up.

Everybody got a partner, you might just move a chair

or just go go towards somebody that's.

Get a partner.

If you don't have a partner right now, raise your hand.

You don't have a partner. Oh, you guys are dangerous.

Couple Right now, you're gonna pray with something, Okay, pray

with someone. Anybody else needs need a partner. Everybody got

someone to pray for. Jonathan doesn't. Okay, So this is

a different can Here's what we're gonna do. Make it

make it simple. Oh we got's got her own partner.

You're gonna do it together. Okay.

So here's where I'm going to reduce it. I'm gonna

put really strict boundaries so it's like I can do this.

You're going to ask God to give you a color

to describe the person you're praying for. Start with the color,

and then one simple question, what does that mean, that's all,

and don't don't preach, just say God, what does that mean?

And I've never seen this fail because God is into colors,

the invented colors, and He'll open up your heart the

stream of in their transaction. Seeing I hearing her, I

see I hear I say, we edify our friends, right,

you bless them? So let's pray right now. Close your

eyes and now you know who you're going to get

a color for. And then you're gonna say, God, give

him the color.

And what does that mean?

Father, revelation? May it come open the eyes of our hearts.

Let us see pictures in our heart to bless our

brother or sister in Jesus name. Amen, go ahead, as

soon as you have it, just open your eyes and share.

It'll be quick, Holy spirits fast.

I see black and yellow. You're busy as a bee.

You are God's busy bee, and you need to know

that you're also a higher bee. God says what you

do produces something sweet for people.

Yeah, because I know you so well.

You sting a little bit too, and I think God

likes it when you sting.

Yeah, I really like the I mean, you call the

very end of the morning session.

But I think that was very that you said to people.

If you have a word, it's.

As much how you say, you know Old Testament.

Prophecy, very much correction.

I think.

Occasionally have people who think us hurt. Mm hmm.

Yeah, that's why the love has to be driving.

Of course, we.

Don't want to be.

We don't want to be We're not all testing that prophets.

Yeah, okay, you are amazing and long winded.

All right, let's let's take a seat real quick.

Take your seats.

I don't want to cut you off from the flow

of revelation. We just want to get a couple of testimonies.

God's moving, all right, are you colorful? People? Have a seat.

I hate to shut off the blessing of God, but

you can take it home with you. First of all,

did you see how how easy that was? Did anybody

really struggle? And don't don't be ashamed to say I struggled,

But I'll tell you what you do struggle. Sometimes you

suddenly see all these different colors. It's all it's like

I got to pick one. It's like, no, get get that.

You gotta be quick on that because God is so quick.

It just teaches us how to hear from God like this,

But it's okay if you struggle, but then eventually you're

going to camp on something because you got you got

the rainbow. At least you got Roy g Bibb on

your side. So who's out?

Just who's How did that work for somebody? I'm gonna

just here go ahead finish.

See I'm saying God is like quick, yeah, you both

got read interpretation? What was your What did what did

that mean for her? Like a fire red like, yeah,

that's what I land great.

Black like you're waving it in the sky like a

morning in a way but in a.

Yeah right, And the cool how one color can just

speak to our hearts from God somebody else, Rob, that's

so cool?

So was she practice which she is not?

The right.

Helps people doctors?

Yeah, like like speak So it's shu right, How how

did that land on you?

How that did that encourage you?

Good?

Because people have said to me and I was saying,

that was what you hear I'll see lots of times

and the top of word of wisdom, which I keep saying,

you know, I'm not sure I have.

That, so comes beautiful and just like she was saying,

you have quite speaking.

When I got the color, it.

Was almost.

And I got the color immediately it was yellow.

Yeah, him as well.

And then you said, ask what the color means, and

I said, and said sweetness, people happy, and then really.

Really, and then I saw some also.

You can almost get multiple metaphors going. I mean, God's limitless,

but it's a great way to just start.

I heard from God. I got it.

And then you you'll all grow in this too, which

is amazing. That is that good, mister banana man, Yes,

and sunflower, I love it. We'll do one more.

We have one minute to three, but one more.

Something got I think the walking people, there's something going

on over here.

I wanted to share.

I had the same thing that's been sharing a couple

of times. Before you finished speaking, I already had to

come up. I almost doubted.

I was like that was too far. Maybe you know

that's why I kept saying it though I know that's

what I see this other times, like just go that

first thing, go.

Ahead, and even even the reason is to want, and

everything came kind of straight away. Think maybe you know

explosive other options, But now I can't coming back to

the white to white my dad, I just felt that

it was yeah, kind of at the moment, and he's

confirmed that it is true. But at the moment, he's

kind of been a season of seeking a type of

purity that not many people in the water, if faith

will will actually kind of each and seeking kind of

a level of consecration in his life that not many

people kind.

Of even even desire much less rich.

Wow, beautiful.

If there was one color for the season that I'm

going through, that is it.

That's wow, well done. Yeah.

My color for him was green, green with yellow tinge

to it, like fresh grass coming.

Up from the soil, just growing up like a must

have been there for ten years, but fresh.

Yeah that neat the layers of revelation from one color.

Suddenly y'all are awesome.

Yeah, really are.

It's been a joy.

Here's I say. Just keep doing this, doing your doing

your family, and they're doing it in their family.

It's kind of cool.

It's like all the things you always wanted to say

to a family member, and I have a color for you.

Let me pray for you.

This is awesome. We pray that seeds went in today.

The stream of transaction, you don't have to shut it

off when you leave that God will keep stirring in

you and transforming us by his voice. So, Father, we

thank you for your voice. We thank you you're the

God that talks, and God, we want your voice to

be clear in these days of clutter and cloudiness.

Help us to make you a high priority.

And Father, help us to continue to love and worship

our Jesus for his glory.

Amen.
