29th May 2022 Celebration Service - Clem Ferris - Increasing your capacity

I was going to be sharing with us, Clem. How long have we

know one another? Too long? I used to have hair when I first

met up. Yes, Clem's a good, long time friend. Clem gives

us input and brings input to us as a church. He didn't travel too

far this weekend. He came from somewhere else in the UK. I'll let

him tell you about that, But let me pray, and then Clem's going

to come and share with us. Father, thank you for your word.

Thank you for your word, Lord, that is prepared and ready to be

shared with us. Father, thank you for your servant claim. Who's going

to come and share it with us. Pray that you'd bless it. Lord,

Even as he spends this last weekend in the UK before he travels back

to the US and back to home. Father, I pray that Lord,

this would be a weekend and refreshing of your spirit, restoration and provision,

even supernaturally good God. So Lord, we pray that our ears would be

open, our hearts would be ready, that we'd hear from you, and

seed would be pressed down and take root and bear fruit in Jesus' name.

Amen, men stave morning, everybody calls everybody good, beautiful day. It's

always like this in England right in the UK. Well, I've been here

almost a whole month. I've made one quick trip back in the middle of

my tour. So I was up in Sheffield the beginning of the month and

then went home to do a three day conference and flew back again. Was

in Wales for a week working with our good friends Julian and Sarah Richards and

New Wine Wales. Just up in Hereford where I work with a whole network

called Freedom where they're planting churches all over the world. In fact, they

planted one in Raleigh, North Carolina. Gary's Gary Snosa who leased the whole

movement. His son Josh planted in Raleigh a few years ago, so we

could interact with them right in our backyard. And then down to Egham tomorrow.

Be in London, just meeting up with Mike Bullinger. Some of you

know Mike. He's been here in Minister, so that's great to reconnect in

our I guess we can officially say it's a post COVID season. I hope

it stays that way. And so yeah, this morning I'm going to just

kind of stir us all and talk about this idea of increasing your capacity.

I think coming out of a lockdown, coming down of a season where we

were kind of limited, I feel like the spirit of the Lord is stirring

us. It's like, this is a good season. Now it's a season.

I think there's going to be harvest, fresh harvest. Some of us

were thinking, like what God goes up to during the lockdown, we haven't

even fully perceived yet. Because God didn't rest. He neither sleeps nor slumbers.

So God wasn't lockdown and God wasn't taking a break. I feel one

of the things God was doing was ripening the harvest. You know, Revelation

talks about the harvest of the earth ripening, and I think there was a

massive ripening of souls and people are more ready to receive Jesus. So we

have to we have to do our job. We have to get out there

and share the gospel. And so if you every Bibles, we're going to

start and we're going to start and finished in Second Kings chapter three, Second

King's three. So up here and keep scripture. If you can keep up

with me, actually gonna produce the story. We'll get into verse nine.

What we'll start. But it's an amazing story. It's a story where you

have three kings that come together around the common enemy enemy. So we have

jehosephat the king of Judah. I'm looking in verse one, if you want

to just go there for a minute. You have Jehoram is the son of

Ahab. Ahab was the king of Israel. He was the wicked king.

He was the bad king. Johorah was a little better, but he still,

it says in verse two, he was evil in the sight of the

Lord, though not like his father and mother. That was Ahab and Jezebel.

That's a bad family tree right there. But anyway, it says,

but he did put by the pillar bail. Nevertheless. Verse three says he

clung to the sin of Jereboam, the son of Nebat, which he made

Israel to sin, and he did not depart from it. Now you have

this king of Moab who's coming against these guys, and so they form a

military alliance. So you have Jehosaphat king of Judah. You have Jehoram,

and then this unnamed king, they call him just the King of Edom.

So they come together to form an alliance. And look at David's just right

on top of it, so we will pick it back up. In verse

seven, they said, where to jehos Fat, the king of moment has

rebelled against me. Will you go with me to battle against Moeb? He

said, I'll go. I'm as you are, my people as your people,

my horses as your horses. Then he said, by which way shall

we march? He said, by the way of the wilderness of Eatam.

And so they hook up now with the King of Edom, and here we

are in verse nine. The king of is Iselm went with the kings of

Judah and the King of Edom. And when they had made a circuitous march

of seven days, there was no water. Not only no water for the

army, no water for the army or the animals that follow them. No

water. They've been marching for seven days and they're out of water. And

I don't know. These armies were not small. So there's literally probably thousands

of men and lots of animals and there's no water. What does that mean?

If they don't find a water source, they're going to die. They

have to find water. So I'm gonna keep reading and go back. So

so the King of Isa says alas the Lord has called these three kings to

give them into the hand of Moab. I guess what a defeatist attitude.

You know, Sometimes you come against an impossibility, you run out of something.

They ran out of water and said, I guess we're just gonna die.

All three of us are gonna They're gonna put us in the hands of

the King of Moab. But Jehosaphat and always remember Jehosephad, he's the good

king. Almost he can say this is the tale of three kings, but

he's the good king. Jehoas Fat said, is there no prophet of the

Lord here through whom we may inquire of the Lord? Sometimes people are so

focused on the enemy to forget about God the other kings, like, we're

gonna die. The King of Mohab's gonna kill us, you know, the

devil's gonna take us out and go excuse me? Is there not a prophet

at least? Can we not inquire of the Lord in this situation? So

one of the King of Israel's servants said, well, Elishah, the son

of schafe Out, is here who poured water on the hands of Elijah.

And jehoash Fat said the word of the Lord is with him. He had

a good track record with him. So the King of Israel and jehos Bet,

the King of Edom, went down to him, and Elishah said to

the King of Israel, what have I to do with you? Very I

feel like saying that sometimes when people say, can I have a word?

I don't even know you? What am I to do with you? You

say, because Elisha knows, he said it to the King of Israel.

There is history there with Elijah and Elishah and Ahab and Jezebel, and so

he's like, what am I to do? Watch what's the next sentences?

Go to the profits of your father and the prophets of your mother. In

other words, remember, Ahab had his own profits. He had four hundred

prophets that basically were for hire, and he basically would get them to prophesy

what he wanted to hear, nationalism, and it's all about me. Go

to the prophets of your father and mother. But the King of Israel said

him, no, it is the Lord who has called these three kings to

give them into the hand of Moeb. And Elisha said, well, as

the Lord of Hosts lives before whom I stand watch. Were it not that

I had regard for johas the King of Judah, I wouldn't even look at

you or see you. So I'm gonna see it in some thoughts I want

you to carry today. This is what we call the power of one the

power of one man. Jehosaphat swayed the prophet to minister into this impossible situation.

And notice what he says, if it were not that I had regard

for johoas man, that's favor favor with one that I wouldn't even look at

you. And then he says, now bring me a musician. And when

the musician played, the hand of the Lord came upon him and he said,

thus says the Lord, I will make this dry stream bed full of

pools. Or I like this translation to thank you, Dave, make this

valley full of ditches, dig some ditches. For thus says the Lord.

You will not see wind or rain, but that stream bed will be filled

with water, so that you shall drink. You, your livestock and your

animals. This is a light thing in the hand of the Lord. This

amazing story. God is creative. God's puts this story in here. I

think to help us understand some things about God that I want to introduce the

idea of atmosphere. That the whole idea of atmosphere comes out from two Greek

words. One is you know atmas and sphere us and you put them begin

to an atmosphere and it really means to atmosphere is the word vapor, So

it's a sphere of vapor. So we said the atmosphere is like this ball

of vapor of the world, and God set the boundaries of it. There's

a certain boundary to the atmosphere. It's also known in the mental or moral

idea of the environment. We can create mentally, you can create a mental

atmosphere. Joy, peace, worry, stress are all atmospheres that we can

be affected by. And when God, I'm just going back when God said,

make this valley full of ditches, or I want you to go dig

some ditches. What's he's saying. I want you to create space. I

want you to create a different atmosphere because I'm going to come and fill it.

See if we create space for God, he'll fill it. Because God

is what we call a gap filler. He fills the gap. He likes

to cause us to seek him and say God, I got a problem here.

And God often says, well, create space for me. If we

don't create space for God, he can't fill it. Somebody say, I

want more of God. You do, well, something's got to go.

It got to be less of you more of Him. So here's this interesting

situation where these kings are coming together. They have a common enemy. It's

good to come together for a common enemy. We have one enemy and one

only. It's not friends, it's not people, it's not politicians, it's

not anybody else. We have one common enemy. And I think it's also

a time where God is causing people to come together, working with streams,

working with other networks that I work with. It's great to see people working

together because we have a common enemy. We should have so much division in

the body of Christ. Doesn't mean we all do the same thing all the

time, but we can come together against a common enemy. So they had

to get in position. You got to get in the right position to take

out the enemy. So they had to march, and they're marching for seven

days, and in this time frame they run out of water. And when

they sought the word, it's because they were thirsty. Notice I think one

identified one guy out of them all said, you know what our problem is.

We're thirsty. That's the real problem. It wasn't Moab yet, it

wasn't the king of Moab. The problem was they were thirsty. They had

no water. Thirst should drive you to God. And only one guy picked

up on that. Thank God for Jehoseph, and he goes, you know

what, there's one place we can go to take care of this problem of

thirst. And their thirst drove them to the prophet Elisha. It's interesting they

broke protocol. Typically, the kings would come to the prophet. I mean

the prophet would come to the king and say, I have a word for

the king. King, I want an audience with the king. I have

a word for you. And the prophets would come to the king and if

they granted audience, they would give them the word of the Lord, like

David and other. So here's a different thing. Now the king's seeking out

the prophet. I think that should be more normal. I think heads of

state and leadership and prime ministers and presidents and mayors and governors, they should

be seeking out prophetic words from God. Does God have a word about this?

We got We're running out of water. We've got an impossible situation here.

So I think the good thing to know is, if you're thirsty enough,

you'll even break protocol. No, if you're thirsty enough, you'll go

find the word from the Lord. Okay, And just because you run out

of water, it doesn't mean you won't get there. But you won't get

there without God. Some of you might be said, trying to get somewhere

right now, I want to get there. Just because you run out of

money doesn't mean you're going to get there. Just because you run out of

help doesn't mean you can't get there. Just because you get discouraged or if

somebody's deserted you, it doesn't mean you can't get there. You got to

keep saying I got to get there. We're coming out of lockdown, and

we said, where are we going? I don't know. Well, I

got to get there. We got to get to where God wants us.

We got to get to where we can win our battle. And we can't

do it without God. You can't get there without God, because sometimes even

God allows the Moabites to come into our life. Right Sometimes you're like,

I got this resistance, I got an enemy, and God says Yep,

I allowed the Moabites to come so that you drive you back to me.

When you're thirsty, you don't need a pacifier. Some Christians look for pacifiers.

We like our kids. Well, he's whining again, but I just

fed him. So here you call it over here with dummy, right,

I think that's kind of interesting. That wouldn't go here and going in America

give him a dummy. Well, but yeah, you can't pacify people when

they're really thirsty. They need the genuine milk of the word. They need

the word of God. So they came to the prophet thirsty. And not

all the not all the kings were ready. Not all the kings believe.

They basically there's one believer amongst the muncheon. That was jehosephad. Once again

the power of one. One guy had a connection. It only takes one

person with a connection to God to see the miracle come. Only takes one

person with the connection. Do you know every one of you have a connection

to God and there's somebody out there that needs your connection. We have to

be connected people. This is great. We love Sunday. Why this is

where we get filled up. We get filled up, we connect with God,

and then we go out and help connect God to other people. The

power of one person. Think how many times God just sing about one person.

He found one guy to build a boat. His name was Noah.

Didn't get a committee. Let's form a boat committee. Let's do some research

on what kind of boats are There were no boat. Nobody had a pattern.

God downloaded a pattern to build something never been built before to one guy.

He obeyed God saved civilization. Abraham was chosen. He was one guy.

God looked over the whole earth and said, you are going to be

the father of a great nation. And he didn't even have kids. He

couldn't have kids, but one guy, and one guy died for our sins.

The power of one only took one perfect man to save you. So

here's this one guy, Elisha, and I like it again. Let's go

back to his response. Let's just said the king, Vizil, what do

I have to do with you? You've never sought me before. Your mom

and dad were real pain to me. So this is very annoying. Now

the good news is you can still be annoyed and be anointed. Welcome to

the ministry, right, Dave, Welcome to ministry. People are annoying,

but you can be annoyed with them and still be anointed to minister to them.

And so when you're annoyed with people and you feel like, I don't

know if I really want to do this, I don't feel like it.

What did Elisha do? Called for a minstrel? Why change the atmosphere?

He said, if I changed the atmosphere and fill it. Remember God's a

gat filler. There was a vacuum here. So he says, I'm going

to bring in a minstrel and I'm going to fill the atmosphere with worship the

presence of God because I, in my natural I don't really want to bring

a word for these guys. So I'm going to change the atmosphere. I'm

going to create a space. If I create a space of worship, God

will fill it. We just did that for the last twenty minutes. We

came in and we created space for God in us to interact, and God

came with his presence and filled it. Music creates an atmosphere for God to

fill. That's why we worship. It's not like a song service. We're

not just warming up for the sermon. It's not like a little background music

while the people come in. You don't get all settled in. No,

it's a time we come and have to create space for God, and God

comes and fills it. People often want to come, and I do a

lot of prophetic ministry. People really want a word from God. But I

can tell by the spirit of God, they don't have no space inside to

have God come and fill it. God knows our condition. God knows are

you hungry? Are you thirsty? Is there any space for me? You

say you want a word for me, But it's kind of like, now

take it or leave it a not this week, Well, I'll put it

on a shelf. And all these things. We have to always come hungry.

God will always meet you at your place of hungry. When you're hungry,

God will meet you there. So God inhabits the praises of his people.

And so here comes the minstrual of verse fifteen. He played and says,

the hand of the Lord came upon him. And then he said,

thus says the Lord, make this valley full of ditches. You're going to

have to dig some ditches. That's the word of the Lord. God is

telling these kings and their armies. You want water, You got a problem,

you got an enemy. You're out of water. And here's my solution.

If you want a word for me, here's the word. Create some

space. Go dig some ditches. What can't you just make it rain?

And it's like God, you're God, just he goes no. You go

out and dig some ditches. Make the valley, Make the valley where water

used to be. A valley is a place where water used to be.

Go into the place where you used to get resources, go back and dig

some ditches. Why Because God always responds to capacity, as we're talking about

today, increase your capacity. Can I just say something. We are in

a time if the harvest of the earth is getting ripe, and God wants

to give us more souls, We've got to create capacity. What would you

do I'm just being facetious a little bit. What would you do if another

thirty people showed up here on a Sunday morning? You're like, Ah,

okay, open the windows. You sit out there, we'll pack them in.

I mean suddenly it's like we got to create capacity. And so I

think it's a season where God's saying, make some more room, create some

more space. God will only fill what you have capacity for so, when

God created Adam, the breath of God came and God filled his lungs.

God could have blown at him up. I mean, God could fill the

whole universe. So why did he filled his lungs? What to their capacity?

So otherwise would have killed him. It's like the breath of God.

God always gives according to your capacity to receive. My question this morning is

what's your capacity right now? What's your current capacity? And don't think about

anybody else. You can't be jealous of somebody else's capacity. You can't be

small churches, can't be jealous of big churches. And you know, guys

that have bigger ministries or ladies that have more influence, you can't be jealous.

It's not ever wise biblically to compare yourself. But God will respond to

your life level of capacity, and he knows it's not all the same.

What we can do, I think and that this is what I want to

encourage you with this morning. I think we can pray to increase our capacity.

I think we have to seriously say God, okay, I want I

want you to increase my capacity. God, I want you to enlarge me.

Now here's the warning. This comes with the warning label. The answer

to that prayer will often come with skin on it. God might put somebody

in your life to increase your capacity. Another dangerous prayer. God, I

just want to be more loving, Okay, I'm going to send some unloving

people around you to stretch your ability to love. You know, God,

I want more faith. Okay, I'm going to put you in impossible situation

where faith is the only thing you're going to get out get out of it,

right, Yeah, God, stretch me, you know. But are

we ready to be stretched beyond normal? See we're coming out and you know

a lot of people are saying, well, just can't wait till things get

back to normal. I don't want to go back to normal. I don't

know about you. I want. I want God, I feel and I

hope. I was stretched over the last couple of years, and I'm ready

for more. I've never been more enthused about the Kingdom. I've never been

more excited about the harvest and reaching the nations. Yes, coming out of

a pandemic in the midst of war and economic crisis and all this. You

know what, go to the valley and dig. There's valleys all around,

and that's what. It's amazing how the prophet said, I want you to

go to this valley and dig. Dig in a valley. A valley's a

dried up riverbed, that's where water used to be. But sometimes you got

to go back into your valleys and dig a little deeper. Sometimes you got

to go back and get enlarged and dig a ditch in the very hole that

took away your resources. You got to go back. I think of Elijah,

his mentor. It's like, where do you get that idea? I

says, well, I watched my mentor Elijah once came to a widow basically

the same thing. I'm all out of oil, I'm all out of everything.

I'm going to die. I'm given up. I'm going to die.

What did the prophets say, eat your capacity? What? Go borrow some

If you have to go, borrow some vessels and I'll fill them. And

she borrowed as many as she could. And guess what, God filled them

all. If she had only borrowed more, he would have filled all them

too. I mean, God only can fill what you have capacity for.

God fills the space we create. Going back to that definition of atmosphere,

it can be a mental atmosphere. And I worked with a lot of churches

in all different kinds and sizes, and I love church planting. We're doing

a church plant in Florida right now and it's brand new, and I was

down there for Easter Sunday. It was the launch. We had thirty people

in a house, launched a brand new church plant. I love that.

But already we're trying to create an atmosphere of growth, and you've got to

start. And one of the things you have to do is sometimes you have

to talk and act like a bigger church. There's nothing wrong with the size

you're at, but you know what, if start think of what would be

be like if we were one hundred people, seventy five people, what would

be like if we doubled, what will we do? And you start thinking

that way and talking that way and treating people that way, like and treating

every Sunday, every Sunday, you have to treat people like a visitor.

You have to have the visitor mentality. Everybody comes in that door, they're

a visitor, and you always have to present like this is the first time

here. You create an atmosphere where people are like welcomed and like wow,

these people are friendly, Yeah, they're friendly to each other, but I

felt like nobody was talking to me. You know, you can say we're

a friendly church, yes, because you know everybody. Well, what happens

when the stranger walks in? Are you that friendly too? All these things

have to work in your capacity, developing your capacity, and the enemy will

try to shut you down. He'll try to take things away. I mean,

he'll try to numb that thirst and that hunger. But God always meets

us at our level of hunger. So what does it mean to increase your

capacity? There are always opportunities to receive its determined by an opportunity that God

will create. But you've got to dig. You've got to dig and start

digging old things, old mentalities. You've got to start digging deeper into the

things of God and say, God increased my capacity. I'm ready for new

opportunities. So right now, if you had a let's say I took out

your phone and I looked at your contact list and said, this is your

capacity right now for all the people in your life, men, women,

children, relatives, work, associates. They're all on a contact list.

That's your current capacity for relationships and they're all at different levels. But if

you're saying God increased my capacity, it's like there might be some people you

would go off your contact list right and there might be some new ones.

Are you ready to make new relationships? One thing I liked about I really

liked about COVID is I made a bunch of new relationships in my own church.

People I've been going to church with for years, didn't know them.

Now we have a very large church, but I had no system to develop

new relations because I'm traveling all the time. So we got locked down,

and like, what are we going to do? Well, I'm going to

prayer meetings. I'm joining some small groups I never was part of before.

And now I've got new friends and we meet every week either online or in

person. And I got new capacity. And God did that. The Lord

says, I will make this dry stream bed full of pools. Okay,

God, go ahead and make it. He goes no in the Hebrew,

and that one Translatessa, Actually you go and make you go dig You do

the digging. I'll do the filling and so part of digging. Now,

let me get you the concept of digging. How are you going to make

the valley full of district. We have to dig. So what are we

using? Well, you dig into the word of God every time you get

up in there in the morning, have your devotions. That's digging. You're

digging to increase Christ in you. You increase your capacity by loving people,

by saying, God, fill me with your love. You have to dig

your own own ditches because that's when you get vulnerable. You dig your own

dishes ditches because it really in the kingdom, it's always a relationship. It's

relational capacity. You make room for what's coming next. And the water is

behind the work. Understand that what do I really need? They needed water,

but the water was behind the work. The water wasn't gonna come until

they went out and started digging. So they went out and dig and they

got a word from the prophet. And some people think, if I can

just get a prophetic word, my life will be better. You know what,

profits give the word, they don't do the digging. You can get

a prophetic word, and if you don't dig with that word, it's not

going to happen. We turn it into Christian fortune telling. Just tell me

my fortune, snap your finger. Abrika Daba poof I'm just going to fulfill

prophecy. Now, it doesn't work that way. You get a prophetic word,

you're going to go to work. In fact, you're gonna go to

warfare. You're gonna go to war first for Timothy one eighteen, and you're

gonna have to start digging, digging into your own inner man woman and see,

God, is it what is it you want to remove? You know,

when you dig, you're removing dirt. God, is there any dirt

in here you want to remove? And create what more capacity for you?

So that's the process. So I think let's have a posture in this hour

and it starts with prayer. I think it starts with prayer. God,

help me make room for what's next. My real challenge to you, RCPs,

what's next. We're coming out of COVID, We're coming into a new

season, and yeah, even in the natural seas summertime, you're gonna have

more opportunity to interact with people. You've got Magnakarta Day coming and other stuff

happening. It's like, God, what's next for us? Increase our capacity

because others can't dig for you. I can preach, Dave can preach prophets,

can prophesy, but only you can dig. Only you can dig.

So we finish with this verse seventeen. Here's here's the here's the very interesting

part. The close of the story is amazing. Watch verse seven, Thus

says the Lord. There's a continuation of what the prophet says. You shall

not see wind or rain, but that stream bed will be filled with water.

How much water, plenty of water, so that you shall drink all

the armies, thousands of men can drink, and your livestock and your animals.

When God wants to increase our capacity, you won't necessarily have any outward

signs and wonders. And we love our signs of wonders, don't we.

We're all sign seekers, thrill seekers. I just want to have a one

service where Heaven comes down and we're all laying on the floor and the glory

cloud comes and it's like, well that's fine, but you know what,

it's not how you go down, it's how you walk when you get up.

I don't mind going down. And the whole idea is when he settle

this, he goes God's going to do it in such a way. It's

going to come from underneath, and it's not up here, because they're thinking

it's just going to rain and it's all going to come from here, and

God goes, no, it's going to come from down there. You won't

see rain, you won't see wind. It'll be supernaturally. God will do

it supernaturally because it's not a light thing. Labor's eighteen. This is a

light thing in the side of the Lord. To increase your capacity to send

more people to grow. It's a light thing, but we have to make

capacity. God will fill according to how much we dig. You're willing to

dig into some new relationships? Are you willing to dig into things of the

kingdom, really dig into your own personal life? Faith works when you dig.

Giving is digging. That's an example of just giving. I'm going to

dig into the kingdom. I'm going to uproot some things. I'm going to

go to the core of what I believe and dig. And if we do

that, God fills supernaturally. Almost to the point it's like, where did

that come from? You know, how did that happen? I was expecting

rain, water came out of the ground. We're running great, big wind's

gonna come and blow clouds and we're gonna have a downpour, no wind,

no rain, How are we gonna get water? Here it comes. God's

gonna supernaturally fill the capacity you create. So remember the rest of verse eighteen.

This is a light thing in the side of the Lord. He will

also give the Moabites into your hands. Now that's what started this whole problem,

the enemy and God uses the enemy. Don't get weird on me.

Think sovereignty. Think the Book of Job. Think God is in control of

everything. God was in control of the Moabites. And sometimes the enemy comes.

He's just the messenger. God says, I have something I want to

do in your life, and I'm here's He uses the enemy as a messenger.

That's all. Here are these mobites. And the goal was not just

to defeat an army. The goal was reconnect God's people with God himself.

So this is quite interesting. What's the end of this. This is a

light thing in the side of the Lord. He'll also give the mobites into

your hands because we have a common enemy. Now watch and you shall attack

every fortified city, every choice city will fall, every good tree, and

stop up all the springs of water, and ruin every good piece of land

with stones. The next morning, about that time, the water came from

the direction of Edom, and the country was filled with water. You can

read the rest of the chapter. But they even thought with the way the

sun came and hit the water, and they thought it was blood, and

they thought the mobiles thought that the other three armies were at war and they're

shedding. Blood was in the water, and they said, oh, we

could take these guys down. I was like, surprise, baked you out.

It's not true, said they struck the Moabites when they came upon them.

God has the master strategy, and it doesn't make sense to us.

But God's always concerned about reaching people. Are you Are we really concerned about

reaching people an incredible time, where as I said, people are softer now,

people are hungry. People around it really want to know how can I

connect with God? Who's going to what's coming next? There's almost like this

like there's a still fear. We're still dealing with fear. If we were

here in October, I think I taught on the power of a breakthrough.

And one of the first things we pray for is a breakthrough and courage because

it helps you avoid fear. So you have to continue to pray for breakthroughs

and courage. Continue to pray for breakthroughs and commitment and in your heart that's

digging. See the thing I taught on last is really that was the precursor

to how do we increase our capacity? You pray for internal breakthroughs? God,

increase me in here, help me be committed to the process I'm in.

Help me to make sure that I have a breakthrough in heart, motive

and all these things are layers of what God is going to do. So

I just I'm excited for you, I really am. This room is full

today, but you can't it won't hold what God wants to do. And

I'm not just being like maybe I'm being a little prophetic, but I think

God has got another place for you to put your eyes on and pray about.

God. We want to increase our capacity, increase our reach. So

can I pray for you? You're ready to do some digging. Let's just

take a moment or two in prayer now because I want this to sink in

and just say, Okay, God, are you my first question? Are

you feel like there's an enemy out there? Yes? Okay, God,

we have an enemy, but he's a common enemy. We're not in this

alone. Number two, are you thirsty? If you get in position,

you're going to get thirsty. God's getting RCF in position to come against the

enemies of Egham in this region so we can win the souls back out of

the kingdom of darkness. But we have to get in a position. But

getting into position, you're going to get thirsty. And some of you might

be thirsty for other things. Like I said, but inside, inside,

it's got to be that phrase. I want to get there in Lord,

I want to get to where you want me to be. We want to

get to that place where we're going to win the battle. So God,

we're hungry. We're thirsty, and God, we need a word from you.

We need a word from you. The word today is if you'll dig

ditches. If you'll dig, God will fill. If we increase our capacity

within, God will fill. If we say, God, what is it

you want to remove from my life and what is it you want to add

to my life? God will fill the space. He is a gap filler.

God will create atmosphere and he will fill it because that's who he does.

He goes a gap filler. If we dig, God will fill.

So Father, I pray for every one of us, every one of us,

God is we leave today? May that be running through our minds and

hearts. God, What do you want me to dig? God? Where

do you want me to dig? How do you want me to dig?

What things need to be dug in my life? What valleys do I go

back into and dig? Show me? Take me, God, introduce new

people in my life that's going to stretch me. Increase my capacity, mental

capacity, spiritual capacity. God, increase us in this hour. The Kingdom

of God is all about increase. Yeah, all about multiplication. The first

command was be fruitful and multiply. And I can just tell you from being

with a couple of networks recently in America, in Wales, in the Midlands,

there's a great move of multiplication in the earth. It's happening in the

underground church. There's a massive movement of multiplication in Afghanistan, in Iran,

in Asia, in the midst of great persecution, in the midst of warfare.

There's a great harvest in the earth right now. And you can't compare,

So don't compare yourself. Just say God, we want in, we

want into the harvest. Pray the Lord of the harvest that will send forth

labors into his harvest. It's his harvest. We just want to be available

with our shovels right will dig. So, Father, I pray over our

CF, every leader here, every attender, God, that you would increase

their capacity, starting even today, so that you can fill it supernaturally and

we can defeat the enemy together. Pray this in Jesus' name. Amen,

God bless you.
