  1. Hi. This is Dave Olson.

  2. I'm the senior leader of Hartman church located in Ankeny Iowa.

  3. I hope the following message, challenges and courage's and

  4. ultimately changes you. Thanks for joining us.

  5. I, It's kind of a love-hate relationship, when you come into

  6. a place where the heavens are so open, because you get so many

  7. downloads. And and then you realize your

  8. notes just go right out the window.

  9. And who cares. Anyway, right?

  10. I'm just going to talk with you from my heart and I think that's

  11. probably the better thing to do. and, You know, April 7th woke

  12. up. Out of a dream that I had.

  13. And this dream, I was, I was singing the song.

  14. This wonderful old song that Dottie Rambo wrote called Holy

  15. Spirit, Thou Art, welcome in this place and I was just

  16. singing in this dream and singing and singing it and it

  17. got stronger and stronger, and stronger, until the song picked

  18. me up and propelled me into a service.

  19. I don't know where that was, but I was in this service and I the

  20. whole place was just singing in the same song, Holy Spirit, that

  21. would welcome in this place and there was nobody on the

  22. platform. It was not platform lead.

  23. It was just the presence of Holy Spirit, just coming down in this

  24. place. And everyone there was caught up

  25. in in their hearts to meet with him and and all of a sudden

  26. Miracles, just begin to happen if you were ever had the

  27. privilege of being and Kathryn kuhlman's meetings.

  28. Many many was the time that she would just she'd come to a place

  29. in the service where she would just sit down either on the

  30. steps or on a, on a, on a chair. And say, I have nothing to do

  31. with this anymore. It's all his, and of course, she

  32. did have everything to do with the service but she would always

  33. use that disclaimer and, and then in these, these spontaneous

  34. Miracles would just begin flowing.

  35. And And she would never let go of each Miracle until she was

  36. sure that it was documented, in sure, that it was actually true.

  37. And I so appreciate that about Catherine and the Integrity that

  38. she ministered in was just it was magnificent really.

  39. And and so it was like that in this service and and in the Holy

  40. Spirit is just moving, and moving, just like just brooding

  41. really over the service and, and bringing forth these wonderful,

  42. wonderful healings and then it went from And in all manner of

  43. healings were taking place from from amputees.

  44. Having their limbs restored but it wasn't, they didn't grow out.

  45. They just appeared. They just bang.

  46. They were there. They were just restored

  47. immediately. And, and, and is just these

  48. unusual manifestations that were taking place.

  49. And, and I was just caught up in this and just in so enjoying and

  50. then and then it moved from physical healings to emotional.

  51. Trauma, you know, there's a lot of people that are walking.

  52. A wounded that that are that they have emotional trauma in

  53. their lives and grief in their lives.

  54. And there's, there's some folks in Ames this morning.

  55. They've got some grief in their lives.

  56. In the good news is that he's come to heal the brokenhearted

  57. and and I and he was just flowing.

  58. And it was I was just so aware and then it moved from emotional

  59. trauma to mental disorders. And and, and people with Autism

  60. were being healed and all manner of things were Taking place and

  61. it was just so strong and it was so and it just kept building and

  62. building and I, and I was singing and singing, Then I,

  63. then I woke myself up singing this song.

  64. And the presence of the Lord was in our bedroom and it was so

  65. beautiful. He is so beautiful.

  66. And I in faith, she's been challenged with some hip

  67. problems and so I put my hand on her hip and I was just praying

  68. in the Holy Ghost and then she woke up and what are you doing?

  69. And and so I told her the dream and we began to pray together

  70. and and we prayed and we prayed until she went back to sleep and

  71. I couldn't go to sleep. I just got up and and when I

  72. woke myself up, it was 444 in the morning. and I glanced at

  73. the clock on there and 444 in the morning and This morning,

  74. the Lord woke my wife up at 444 in the morning, and I just got

  75. this feeling that we've got our toes hanging over the edge of a

  76. threshold. I think you better get buckled

  77. up. Praise God.

  78. You know, get get your helmet on and I ride motorcycles, and, and

  79. it's sometimes it's just time to put your helmet on and, and,

  80. and, and, and, and strap it on and get ready to go.

  81. Because I believe with all my heart, that God is going to

  82. release This wonderful flow of healing once again in a

  83. magnanimous way, in a big way that nobody can attach their

  84. name to. And, and he's just going to come

  85. And and do these kinds of things and we need to, we need to be

  86. prepared and so in preparation. The Lord put this word in my

  87. heart, I want to share with you if I may and if you've got your

  88. Bibles of whether and I've given up with the with the paper and

  89. leather, you know, trying to demand that people bring their

  90. Bibles to church. Well, you've got your Bibles.

  91. Whether it's electronic, I don't care if you know, get an app

  92. that I can hear the pages turning or something.

  93. And I like the sound of the pages of the Bible turning and

  94. things like that. I'm guess I'm just old school

  95. but if you've got your Bibles turn with me to Psalms 102 and I

  96. don't think that this is just a sermon.

  97. I do think that this is a word that that is being released in

  98. my heart and in my spirit and and I'm going to depend on Holy

  99. Spirit for the release. Of this word.

  100. And I'm probably going to be struggling.

  101. I got cataract surgery last year and so I'm in between these

  102. things of readers. And reading and I don't know,

  103. it's crazy. but I want to pick it up in verse, Well, before I

  104. do that. This Psalm is a prayer.

  105. Of The Afflicted, when The Afflicted is overwhelmed.

  106. And and the psalmist begins to pour out this this incredible

  107. pressure on the heart of a cry that comes forth and and the

  108. psalmist like most of us. Do we were overwhelmed we begin

  109. to pour our complaint out to the Lord.

  110. He do you guys do that and I found out a long long time ago

  111. it doesn't make him nervous. To hear my complaints and he's

  112. patient to hear them by the way, and, and he's kind and he waits

  113. till we pour it all out and then he begins to speak to us.

  114. And so the psalmist, pours, the complain out and pours the

  115. problems out. So that, that it's plain before

  116. the Lord, and plane out of their heart and then begins to

  117. prophesy. Out of out of their complaint.

  118. They've lifted their eyes up high enough, you know, we begin

  119. pouring our complaints out and then we begin lifting our eyes

  120. up because we need an answer to the complaint and the only

  121. answer that we're going to gets from him.

  122. And the fact of the matter is is he is the answer, right?

  123. I mean a lot of times we're looking for answers that he can

  124. pull out of his pocket and hand to us and we think that that

  125. would satisfy us but that's really not what his answer is.

  126. His answer is that he just Was up.

  127. He just comes in a makes his presence known and and so this

  128. prophetic word comes and it says in verse 13, it says speaking

  129. speaking to the Lord you will arise and have mercy on Zion.

  130. In the scriptures, Zion speaks of the people of his presence.

  131. You will arise in have mercy on Zion for the time to favor her

  132. her. Yes the set time has come for

  133. your servants, take pleasure in her stones and show favor to her

  134. dust. So the nation shall fear the

  135. name of the Lord and all the kings of the earth, your glory

  136. for the Lord shall build up Zion.

  137. He shall appear in his glory and here's what he does.

  138. When he appears in his glory, he shall regard the prayer of the

  139. destitute and not despise Prayer.

  140. And this will be written for the generation to come that a people

  141. yet to be created, May praise the Lord, that's us for.

  142. He looked down from the height of his Sanctuary from Heaven,

  143. the Lord view the Earth, you know, in Psalms 113.

  144. It says, there's that scripture there that says, he humbles

  145. himself to look down into heaven, Do you do realize, don't

  146. you that that that eternity is inside of him?

  147. An inside of him is, is eternity and inside of that is heaven.

  148. And inside of inside of that is the cosmos.

  149. And inside of that is is humanity.

  150. And inside of an inside of humanity, he created us for his

  151. glory to be placed in invested on the inside of our being.

  152. He put eternity in our hearts. That's what the scripture says.

  153. And so he looks down into his heart into eternity.

  154. Into the cosmos. From the very highest expression

  155. of his being. He's looking for this.

  156. To hear the groaning of the prisoner.

  157. To release those appointed to death and to declare the name of

  158. the Lord in Zion and his praise in Jerusalem.

  159. And When God says, when the scripture, say he declares his

  160. name, what he's doing is he's opening up the Veil.

  161. Of his heart. And and when he says I'm, he's

  162. going to declare his name. He opens the veil up so that we

  163. can see his character and his nature.

  164. Because name in scripture is synonymous or equal to Nature

  165. character. Right?

  166. And so so God says you, you might think you might know who

  167. you think I am. But let me tell you who I really

  168. am. I've come to hear the groaning

  169. of the prisoners. I've come to release them.

  170. I've come because I am savior. It's not just an action that he

  171. did. That's who he is.

  172. That's his character. That's his nature.

  173. And out of his nature. He pours out all the elements of

  174. who he is and we're just beginning to discover who he is.

  175. We think we know. Yeah, I remember I was Junior

  176. and Bible College in dear Lord, I knew everything.

  177. And if you didn't believe me, I would tell you, I know

  178. everything. And then God came.

  179. And I've begun realizing ever since and that's it's almost

  180. depressing but I've lived on the planet for seven decades. and I

  181. realized, I don't know anything. And I've never been so at peace.

  182. And I've Never Been So Satisfied.

  183. As to know nothing as I ought to know.

  184. And the longer I walk with him. And the more that he Reveals His

  185. nature to me the more I realized dear God, hey I really don't

  186. know you, you know, Paul at the end of his life he wrote in in,

  187. he wrote and he wrote this letter and he says I want to

  188. know him at the end at the end of his ministry.

  189. He's writing a letter says, I really want to know him.

  190. What's wrong, Paul? Aren't you morning?

  191. Yes, I'm course. I'm born.

  192. Again, I want to know him. I want to know him.

  193. I want to know him, I want him to speak.

  194. I want him to reveal. I want him to pull back that

  195. Veil so that I can see him. Evermore.

  196. See, him years ago, I was in, I was in was in Korea and God

  197. opened up this really strange door to me and and this door was

  198. he opened up. It's a long long detail story

  199. but I'm going to I'm going to cut it really short.

  200. My wife will be proud of me because I love the details and

  201. you know we've almost got a role reversal thing going on between

  202. us because she likes to cut to the Chase and I like the detail.

  203. It's just, I don't know, it's the feminine side of me.

  204. I guess I don't know and and And we got confused somewhere along

  205. the way and I get the details and she gets cut to the Chase.

  206. And anyway, I'll cut to the chase.

  207. The door opened up through a wonderful healing of a lady in

  208. Korea in Seoul and she had stage 4 stomach cancer and she had

  209. about a tumor that made her look like she was six, seven months

  210. pregnant and and I was teaching in a mission school and I

  211. invited her to come there because I had known her

  212. previously in our. Should we?

  213. She we pastored in Hawaii. This is all jumbled up, isn't

  214. it? We pastored in Hawaii.

  215. She was in our church and Why? And then she was back in Korea

  216. to get treated for this stage for stomach cancer.

  217. And so, I heard that she was there and I invited her to come

  218. to the meeting. And I told her I said Mina, who

  219. knows what God will do. He he can do anything, come to

  220. the service and and maybe maybe something beautiful will happen

  221. to your body. And so she, she came and she

  222. came in and she was emaciated. Looking her eyes were sunken and

  223. dark. You've probably seen the Or

  224. known someone that was challenged with these kind of

  225. things and and and she sat down gingerly in her chair and and I

  226. was teaching. And right now I don't remember

  227. what I was teaching but I do remember this that in the middle

  228. of a sentence, the anointing changed from a teaching

  229. anointing to Healing anointing. And I just stopped in the middle

  230. of the sentence with my mouth open.

  231. And I looked at her as a mean to come here.

  232. I think God wants to touch you, and she got in.

  233. She got about 8 feet away from me and out into the power of

  234. God. She goes onto the floor, and,

  235. and she's crying. And then she's laughing, and

  236. she's crying, and she's laughing, and she's in speaking

  237. in Korean and speaking in English, and then speaking in

  238. tongues, and then just crying and laughing, and she was a

  239. mess. And we all gathered around a

  240. course class was over now, because now it's Audio Visual.

  241. And the real teachers there. And, and she's there on the, on

  242. the floor. And she starts laughing with

  243. this deep, deep belly laugh, and then she starts hitting her

  244. stomach. I'm Healed.

  245. I'm Healed, I'm Healed. And then she said, and we stood

  246. there, and we watched, we watched her stomach, go down to

  247. normal and and Has she got up off the floor and her face was

  248. like these lights that are in my eyes.

  249. She was beaming and she danced all over the place and she ran

  250. and she danced and she didn't know what to do with herself.

  251. And all the rest of the class, didn't know what to do with

  252. themselves either. So they danced and they ran.

  253. And it was wonderful, and I didn't have to teach anymore.

  254. Because, Holy Ghost was teaching and she came back the next day

  255. and and their face was so beautiful, no Darkness around

  256. her eyes. Her face was filled out,

  257. beautiful. There was just she looked the

  258. picture of health and she said to me, listen you and I'm going

  259. to skip a bunch of details and go to what she said to me a

  260. little bit later on, she says, listen, you're going to get a

  261. telephone call, please just say yes.

  262. And I said, okay. I'll do it and I got a call from

  263. a professor in a university. And he said that he was the the

  264. chair or the professor of the department he was at from pusan,

  265. National universities. This secular University, he

  266. says, I'm the chair of the Department of cultural content

  267. and development. What is that?

  268. That's what I thought. I didn't say it, but I thought

  269. it And he says it's a new department and he said I didn't

  270. have a says I'm a Christian and it's a new department and I

  271. didn't I didn't have any curriculum and I called the

  272. president and said, what is this a joke?

  273. And he said no, he says you need to write your own curriculum.

  274. You're a doctor. And and so he says, I prayed

  275. about it and asked the Lord, what he wanted to do with the

  276. Department of cultural content development.

  277. In the Lord said to me, I want to bring the culture of the

  278. Kingdom of Heaven into the university cultural system.

  279. And so he said, would you please come and speak to us for two

  280. days? Two hours a day on the culture

  281. of the kingdom of heaven and I said, oh yeah, I'll I'll do

  282. that. I'll do that.

  283. And and and so I went there and I was scared spitless mean my

  284. mouth was dry. Because I respect education, I

  285. do and I love education. It's wonderful.

  286. And and in fact, I'm educated far beyond my intelligence and

  287. and it's just the reality. And but I was I so honored these

  288. perfect and in then he says, oh by the way, you're not talking

  289. to my students, you're talking to the professors of the

  290. University. No pressure.

  291. And so, I went there and I was, it was on a Monday night, I was

  292. in my hotel room. I mean, they put me on this

  293. train. So the bullet trains,

  294. Hallelujah, 220 miles, an hour. I love speed and and, and

  295. blasted down to pusan. It's on the southern tip of the

  296. peninsula of Korea and I'll just butchered my notes today.

  297. So I'm just going to keep going and And we got down there and I

  298. was it was on Monday night. I was supposed to start speaking

  299. on Tuesday morning at 10:00 and I didn't know what I was going

  300. to tell them. God likes that, I don't. and so,

  301. I prayed and I walked and I laid down and I lay down my back and

  302. prayed, and I got on my face and prayed, and I got on my knees

  303. and prayed, and I walked outside and prayed and I, and I wrung my

  304. hands and I prayed and I and finally, the Lord spoke to me,

  305. and he said, Son, you can only give them what you have.

  306. You cannot give them what you don't have.

  307. And peace came. And so I opened up my Bible at

  308. ten o'clock the next morning in a conference room with 14.

  309. Professors and and and I begin to speak to them about the

  310. culture of the Kingdom of Heaven, out of Exodus chapter 33

    Exodus 33 chapter mention

  311. where God said to Moses. I'm going to send you into the

  312. land. I'm going to give you everything

  313. that I wanted to give you and that I told you that I would

  314. give you but I'm not going. I'm going to send an angel with

  315. you and Moses is. Whoa, back the truck up.

  316. I don't know an angel, but I do know you and I'm not going

  317. without you. I didn't start this.

  318. You started it. And here's this amazing

  319. interaction between the heart of Moses in the heart of God.

  320. And I'm, and I'm releasing this word to the to these professors,

  321. and they're crying. And the in my translator,

  322. Professor Kim. And there's a million Kim's in

  323. Korea and Professor Kim, he would stop me.

  324. And he would say, just a moment, just a moment.

  325. And then he would burst into tears and he would cry and cry,

  326. and cry, and cry and cry, and then he would compose

  327. themselves. Okay, we can go now and, and it

  328. was that kind of a dynamic happening in this.

  329. Room of professors University professors and and God was

  330. there. And and and it was beautiful.

  331. And I structured it as I was going along so that I could

  332. start the next day. Wednesday morning at 10:00 with

  333. the statement of Moses prayer. Show Me Your Glory.

  334. And that would be my opening statement for the second day.

  335. And and so we went and finished at 12 noon and And, and, and

  336. then Professor Kim says, okay, this is wonderful.

  337. You finished just like a professor use finished on time.

  338. And, and I said, okay, Hallelujah.

  339. And and then, and then the second day, I started and, and I

  340. read my texts, Show Me Your Glory.

  341. And this, this woman Professor raises her hand.

  342. And I stopped. And I said, yes.

  343. And she says, excuse me. She says, is this lecture only

  344. or can we ask questions? And God stuck a finger in my

  345. brain and I went stupid for a moment. and I said to this

  346. University Professor from a secular University, oh sure, ask

  347. any question you want and then I realized what I said and I

  348. looked into the woman's eyes and her eyes are gleaming.

  349. And I realized that this woman is stronger than 40 acres of

  350. garlic. And she said, I understand by

  351. your lecture yesterday that God allows debate in his kingdom.

  352. And I love debate she said because it's one of the finest

  353. forms of education and she's right.

  354. It's true. And Out of Heaven, comes this

  355. answer that bypassed my brain. Jumped into my heart and somehow

  356. came out of my mouth. And I said to her, yes, he does

  357. allow debate in his kingdom but you must understand that Moses

  358. debated, God not on the basis of his intelligence, but on the

  359. basis of God's integrity and I'd never heard that before.

  360. And she looked at me like I, she didn't know and her mouth fell

  361. open and tears, begin jumping out of her eyes.

  362. Running down her face. She puts her head on the

  363. conference table and she says, my God my God I missed it by

  364. light years. I think we miss it by light

  365. years. when we think that we know anything, About him.

  366. And I think that God is intending on purpose.

  367. He's designed it to happen this way that he wants us to stop

  368. thinking about him and start thinking with him.

  369. And I have the mind of Christ activated on the inside of us.

  370. I mean, if you're wearing a wrist band, this will date me a

  371. little bit, but it really doesn't date me.

  372. Because I go much further back than this if we're wearing on

  373. our wrist band, a wwjd, what would Jesus do?

  374. And we're in a situation and we look down at our wristband.

  375. Why would Jesus do? What would you what would Jesus?

  376. We've already missed it. He's moving faster than the

  377. speed of light. Did you did you know, back in

  378. 1996 what further further, further back, did you ever heard

  379. of this guy by the name of Albert?

  380. Einstein he I didn't know him. By the way, about Peta.

  381. Hold But he did die. After I was born, But he States

  382. in his research and he couldn't quantify what he saw, but he saw

  383. something and what he saw was he termed it scary fast, scary fast

  384. but he didn't have the technology to quantify what he

  385. saw. And he didn't quite have the

  386. understanding to put it together to put it into words into and

  387. actually find out and discover what he was seeing.

  388. But he But in so he didn't have any other words, so he says,

  389. it's so I see something scary fastest what he said.

  390. In 1990s, they discovered what he saw.

  391. And what they discovered was the way the kingdom of God is

  392. operates. What they discovered was is if

  393. you take a particle that's negatively charged and you take

  394. a particle that's positively charged and you bring them

  395. together and this is now the words of science.

  396. Now they're beginning to discover the kingdom a little

  397. bit by little bit and and they're saying that when you

  398. bring these two particles together and they they Come

  399. entangled until a state of intimacy is achieved.

  400. And then you separate them and you put one particle in Los

  401. Angeles and you put the other particle in Boston.

  402. When one moves, the other one reacts.

  403. And the slowest speed, that it reacts is 10,000 times.

  404. The speed of light. That's called Oneness.

  405. And Jesus prayed that we would be one with the father even as

  406. he is one with the father and that we would be one with each

  407. other even as they are in us and we are in them and we are there

  408. and we achieve a state of intimacy to wear when he moves

  409. we move. When we, when he speaks we

  410. speak. This is what Jesus.

  411. This is what Jesus meant. When he said he says look guys.

  412. I can't do anything. Jesus, I can't do anything.

  413. I can only do what I see. The father do. later on he says

  414. I only say I only judge I only say what I hear the father say

  415. You imagine a guy like that looking for a job as a pastor,

  416. in a church. And he's being interviewed by

  417. the church, pastoral search committee.

  418. Jesus beings interview. Well, you know, tell us tell us

  419. what your programs are. I can't do anything.

  420. I can't do anything guys. Can't do anything.

  421. No. No I can't I can't do anything.

  422. What can you give us a copy of your sermons?

  423. Well I only I only say What I Hear My Father say, I don't have

  424. any. I just only I only do what I see

  425. him do. And I only say I don't think

  426. that they're going to keep him around for very long.

  427. I Think Jesus would be turned away as a Shepherd in modern-day

  428. Church in Western culture. and I think, That God is shaking us up

  429. more and more and more and more and more, and more and more.

  430. Until we become so dependent on him.

  431. That We crave and we long for the Fulfillment of the answer of

  432. his prayer. Father, I pray that they are one

  433. with me as I am with you. And then you are with me and

  434. then we're in you and you are in us and we're all become this

  435. conglomerate, Oneness Beyond, Unity, Beyond agreement.

  436. So at one that were looking at each other and knowing together,

  437. this is what he's doing and so this prayer this prophetic word.

  438. He says, you will arise in have mercy on Zion for the time to

  439. favor her. Yes, the set time has come And

  440. Hebrew. You've got a whole bunch of

  441. words for time, but there's three primary words.

  442. One is ADD and add is is time from from time, beginning to

  443. time ending its time in in in continuity it's all time, it's

  444. everything. And then inside of that inside

  445. of that, you've got, could you throw me that water bottle,

  446. honey? It's at your feet.

  447. Thank you, Dave. Then you've got inside of, add

  448. it. And at is is now time.

  449. And now time can be a moment or it can be a season.

  450. And it can be from a moment to like a year or more, but it's a,

  451. this this, this, this section. It's a specific section of time

  452. inside of the time. Continuum.

  453. And then, inside of it, you've got Mo made and mo Wade, mode

  454. is, is it's a set time. It's like an appointment, you

  455. have an appointment to be at a certain place.

  456. At a certain time to meet a certain person.

  457. And they're coming there for a pre disposed objective.

  458. This is a really special thing. This moment because mo8 is

  459. what's applied to like the feasts and the offerings in the

  460. old Covenant. And and in fact, today is the

  461. day of Pentecost, isn't it? We're celebrating the day of

  462. Pentecost and and so, we're in a moment literally.

  463. And I think that we're in a moment spiritually.

  464. And I think that God is calling us together at a right time in

  465. the right place, that's already predetermined for Covenant to

  466. come into existence and to be expressed and for something to

  467. take place in this moment season.

  468. Now, there's ammo Wade for a woman to conceive.

  469. And there's a moment for a woman to deliver.

  470. There's a mowing for a prophetic word to be given and then

  471. there's a MOAB for a prophetic word to, to be fulfilled.

  472. And what happens in between these, bookend appointments for

  473. one to be conception to take place, or to, or to be, or to be

  474. a prophetic word, to be released, and given utterance

  475. and released into the atmosphere.

  476. So that, that something is Triggered for that to take

  477. place. And for, then, for it to be

  478. fulfilled later on, there's this space in between these, these

  479. two Mo, eight appointments. And what happens between these

  480. two modes? Appointments is really, really,

  481. really, really really, really, really, really important.

  482. Because what needs to take place in this in this tooth bookends?

  483. Is preparation maturity development and that comes

  484. through activated prayer. and and here in the scripture and in

  485. verse 13, He says for the time at To favor, Zion.

  486. Yes. The mo Aid the set time has come

  487. And so what he is saying is he says look guys something has

  488. happened here. There is there's something that

  489. has been prophetically released already, it's in the atmosphere,

  490. it's working and it's functioning and and and God has

  491. brought development development preparation maturity and now he

  492. says, and now it's time to be fulfilled.

  493. Now, everybody and their dog wants a prophetic word to be

  494. given to them. But if we were really, really,

  495. really sharp. We would gravitate to the ways

  496. of the kingdom of God. And understand that once that

  497. prophetic word has been released, we have a part to play

  498. in it now because it's been conceived in our hearing, it's

  499. conceived in our heart. It's conceived in the

  500. congregation. It's conceived in a Ministry.

  501. It's been released and it's in, it's going, it's moving now.

  502. Things are happening. Even though you cannot see it.

  503. It's happening. It's in that unseen dimension.

  504. And the Lord wants us to wake up to the degree that we can begin

  505. to see the invisible and here the inaudible so that we can do

  506. the impossible. And so, when he releases that

  507. prophetic word in our hearts and our lives, we have to understand

  508. that with that. That's when the time the time

  509. clock is ticking now, honey. It's, it's, it's moving.

  510. When a woman conceives, it's just a matter of time, things

  511. are going to change her diets. Going to change.

  512. The way, the way she walks is going to change, we were

  513. pastoring in Hawaii. Oh, I'm sorry.

  514. I just got the - I just got the vote of no confidence.

  515. I can't tell you this story. But there have been women. that

  516. have said to their husbands, Stay there.

  517. Stay there. Do I do.

  518. Do I walk. Like, I'm pregnant.

  519. In any husband with half a molecule of the mind of Christ.

  520. Understands that that's called a man trap.

  521. These are questions. You do not answer.

  522. These are questions where you begin prophesying, honey, you

  523. look beautiful just like you are so make it okay.

  524. Okay, here's the deal. You have been impregnated as a

  525. congregation. You're carrying multiple

  526. prophetic words. This congregation you.

  527. You're not just going to have one baby, you're going to have

  528. multiple children. And they're on their way. and

  529. there have been times that you have felt like your clothes

  530. didn't fit you and they don't You need to change your garment.

  531. in the fashion world, there's this curious size of garments,

  532. it's pretty kind of strange, really It's got on the tag.

  533. It doesn't have S4 small or medium for medium or large or

  534. extra large or extra extra large on it.

  535. This, this particular size of clothing, says one size, fits

  536. all It's really strange. in the realm of the spirit, we've got a

  537. garment that's one-size-fits-all and it's called the Garment of

  538. Praise What Pastor was saying this morning is extremely

  539. accurate and extremely important that when we move into that

  540. dimension of high praises, and let me tell you something,

  541. there's, there's there's Dimensions up there that we have

  542. not tapped into yet. There's Dimensions up there that

  543. when we tap into those things, it triggers the Fulfillment of

  544. the monad that's been prophesied.

  545. And when we move into that Dimension, Everything Changes.

  546. And you put that Garment of Praise on and what has been

  547. prophetically released into the world into a city, or into a

  548. region, into a city into a congregation and into individual

  549. Hearts. When those prophetic words have

  550. been released, and they take, The devil is going to do

  551. everything that he can do to abort that.

  552. He's going to try to get your eyes everywhere except where it

  553. should be. He's going to try to a draw,

  554. your attention everywhere, where it shouldn't be.

  555. And you must understand that we have an integral part in.

  556. When God releases prophetic words between then, and when

  557. they're fulfilled, And then after, I'm not even going to go

  558. into that today because I've only got seven more minutes, but

  559. here's the deal. We've got to get this.

  560. And Kenny Iowa depends on this. The Des Moines region depends on

  561. this. The state of Iowa depends on

  562. this and the nation of the United States of America.

  563. Depends on what we do. With the prophetic words, that

  564. God gives to us, I'm telling you.

  565. You are far more important than you think you are.

  566. You're far more important than you think you are.

  567. Far more. And when we get this, something

  568. is going to take place and, and in time is going to change.

  569. And our development is going to change and we're going to begin

  570. to eat different. We're going to begin to walk

  571. differently, we're going to begin to dress differently.

  572. Why? Because there's a baby that's

  573. coming. There's the Fulfillment of a

  574. prophetic word. That's going to come to pass.

  575. And we can expedite this thing. With the garments that were

  576. wearing and the praise that were that we're involved with and the

  577. prayer, the intercessory prayer that we go into that dimension

  578. of of groaning and joining the whole world with the prayer that

  579. says, Lord, they want to, they want to see your son's.

  580. They want to see your daughter's then want to see the real deal.

  581. They've seen the thing that's not real and they're tired of

  582. it, and they don't want a part of it. what they want is they

  583. want to see the real thing, and when we tagged into this, I'm

  584. telling you you're going to look different, you're going to talk

  585. different, you're going to walk different, you're going to dress

  586. different because you're going to realize what you're carrying.

  587. I'll finish with this. It's okay.

  588. Honey. If I talk about diamonds, that's

  589. okay. Okay. normally, she's not with

  590. me, but I liked it better when she's with me.

  591. For years and years and years. We lived from hand to mouth.

  592. What kind of still do. But, but we really did before

  593. and I had always wanted to buy my wife things that I could

  594. never afford. No way.

  595. Could I fought it. And one day, this person came up

  596. to me and gave to me and offering And put it in my hand

  597. and it was a large offering. and, and And they held their

  598. hand over my hand. And I said to them, thank you.

  599. And they wouldn't let me go. They said, Bill, I know you.

  600. Okay. I'm not letting go of this,

  601. because you need to understand what this offering is for.

  602. Okay. I know you.

  603. So I need to tell you what this is for.

  604. This is for you and Faith. This is not for Missions.

  605. Bold letters, underlined highlighted.

  606. This is not for Missions. This is not for church

  607. offerings. This is not for sowing into

  608. somebody else. This is for you and this is for

  609. Fay. Do you understand me?

  610. They weren't going to let go. Until I said yes.

  611. And then they said to me snared by the words of your mouth.

  612. It's a scripture. And so, I received this offering

  613. and I thought about some things that I wanted to give my wife

  614. and we have a, we have a friend, he's a wonderful man of God.

  615. He is, he was in our first church that we pastured on the

  616. island of Maui and Hawaii. And and his name is John and I

  617. called him up and I said, John, I've always wanted to buy Faye a

  618. diamond pendant. Would you help me?

  619. I don't want to just buy something that somebody else has

  620. created. Would you create this for me?

  621. Because he didn't just buy and sell jewelry?

  622. He was an artist and he created jewelry.

  623. And so he and he was good, my goodness, he's retired now.

  624. But he was really good. And I said, so John.

  625. Here's what I'm thinking. And so I described to him what I

  626. wanted three diamonds, I didn't care the size of the diamonds, I

  627. cared the quality of the diamond, and I said, and I said,

  628. I want you to make it and he did it, he made, And he called me up

  629. and he says, it's done, he sent me a picture and I said, oh my

  630. that's exactly like what I was seeing in my mind.

  631. He says this is it bill. It's beautiful.

  632. I said yeah. It is he says do you have a

  633. chain that would match this gold?

  634. And I said no I don't he says I do.

  635. I will sell it to you for my cost.

  636. And oh, by the way, guys, there's a huge.

  637. There's a huge thing. Jack, the prices up in jewelry,

  638. I'm telling you is a huge markup.

  639. Are there any Jewelers in here? I'm sorry.

  640. I didn't even think to ask that before I get myself into trouble

  641. like that. And and so he I said, okay, fine

  642. and he says, I'm going to send this to you and then I'll send

  643. you the I'll send you the invoice.

  644. It's okay. He sends me the pendant and he

  645. sends me that chain. And then he sends me to invoices

  646. one for the pendant and one for the chain.

  647. I don't know why he didn't put them together.

  648. And so I don't know about anybody else.

  649. But I know my desk and my desk is messy and I read an article

  650. one time that said, that messy desks are for extremely

  651. organized. People an extremely organized

  652. Minds. I read it is Real.

  653. It was a real article. They did a study actually, did a

  654. study on it. It's probably somebody that, you

  655. know, got a grant because they had a messy desk.

  656. And so I took these two invoices and I put them in my messy desk

  657. in drawers separate from each other.

  658. This is a key bit of information, by the way, And so,

  659. then I waited for a nondescript day, not a birthday, not a

  660. holiday, not a special day, not any kind of a special day at

  661. all. I waited for the dullest Dulles,

  662. Dulles possible day. I could find to give her this

  663. diamond pendant because this was about her, it wasn't about

  664. celebrating. Anything else, it was about

  665. celebrating her Come on ladies. I thought I'd get an amen and

  666. amen from the ladies in the house.

  667. It's genius, isn't it? Okay, good.

  668. And so, I went up to her and I said to her, okay, I've got a

  669. gift for you. What is it?

  670. I said, close your eyes flying. This is this is pink and blue.

  671. The pink and blue. Always do this kind of dynamic.

  672. I've got a gift, what is it? Close your eyes, why?

  673. Because I want to give you the gift.

  674. Well what is it? And a, close your eyes?

  675. Right? And it's this dance, you know,

  676. this delicate dance and finally get her to close her eyes.

  677. And I said, hold your hair up and I got behind or not.

  678. Put fastened this pendant on it right in front of a big mirror.

  679. And I said, okay, now you can open your eyes and she opens her

  680. eyes up and oh, she's looking at the mirror and looking at this

  681. pinned and, you know, and it's just perfect.

  682. It's just right. Just below the, the bottom of

  683. the neck. It's just, it's perfect.

  684. It's part, it's beautiful, and the lights gleaming on it and of

  685. the colors are going and Three days later.

  686. She's getting dressed, I go into the area where she's dressing

  687. men, do these things and and she standing in front of the mirror,

  688. she's already got the pendant on and so I come up behind her and

  689. I put my arms around her and I kissed you on the back of her

  690. neck and I said, honey, will you do, please do me a favor.

  691. She says, what's that I said? And I'm looking at her in the

  692. mirror and she's looking back at me in the mirror.

  693. I said, would you please be careful about this piece of

  694. jewelry because I cannot replace this and when I said that she

  695. rolled her eyes, And I said, why did you roll your eyes?

  696. I didn't. Yes, you did.

  697. No, I didn't. Yes, you did.

  698. I saw you roll your eyes. I didn't roll my eyes.

  699. Yes, you did. I saw you pink and blue, right?

  700. and she then said to me will bill, you know, and I know that

  701. these are only cz's. There's not real diamonds.

  702. Because we can't afford real diamonds.

  703. Yeah, I know that's what I tell ya and I said, you really think

  704. that. And she said, yes.

  705. Pull my phone out. Call my friend, John Cougar and

  706. Maui. It's 10:00 in the morning in

  707. Texas. Five o'clock in the morning in

  708. Hawaii. He's my friend.

  709. John. Yeah.

  710. Bill, it's 5:00 in the morning. What are you calling 5:00 in the

  711. morning? I said, John can you do me a

  712. favor? Yes, of course I've done.

  713. It's 5:00 in the morning Bill. I said, John, could you please

  714. tell Faye how much this pendant cost really Bill?

  715. Really? Yeah, really, please.

  716. John, she doesn't believe that it's real.

  717. And so I put the phone up to her ear and John says Fay.

  718. Yeah, the pendant is real. The diamonds are real. and then

  719. I take the phone away, and I said, John thank you so much and

  720. in the meantime she standing in front of the mirror and she does

  721. this Hmm. Shoulders.

  722. Go back. Chest comes out.

  723. Every man's dream. When she has that pendant on,

  724. she walks different. She stands differently and she

  725. doesn't even think about it. But I do and I see she even

  726. walked different. Because now she understood the

  727. value of what she was carrying. We don't get what we're

  728. carrying. We don't understand the value of

  729. what we are carrying, what we are carrying changes Heaven and

  730. Earth. What we're carrying changes

  731. individual lives. It changes marriages, it changes

  732. families, it changes neighborhoods, it changes

  733. cities, it changes regions, it changes States.

  734. It changes Nations, and it changes a generation.

  735. And that's only one person carrying that And when a whole

  736. congregation carries that when the whole family of God wakes up

  737. to the reality of who we are carrying in our generation,

  738. we're going to walk different. We're going to stand different.

  739. We're going to have our shoulders back and we're going

  740. to realize the authority that we wield.

  741. And we're going to bring to bear what's inside of his heart,

  742. which is to advance the kingdom of heaven.

  743. First in Earth. This Earth.

  744. And then on Earth. Because we have to be carriers

  745. first. And we must recognize the value.

  746. And so God says I'm going to declare who I am to you.

  747. And you're going to discover what you're carrying on the

  748. inside of your heart. We're going to listen to people

  749. differently. We're going to hear their

  750. groans. We're going to see them through

  751. the lenses of Holy Spirit and we're going to see who they

  752. actually are not who they think they are.

  753. And we are going to declare the name of the Lord in our

  754. generation, wherever our Pulpit is my Pulpit.

  755. Just happens to be here today. Your Pulpit is your job where

  756. you go to tomorrow. And when you go into that job,

  757. you got to understand that's your pulpit.

  758. And the pulpit that God's given to you is so that you can pull

  759. back your heart and you can let the nature of Christ come

  760. through you to every single person that you meet and that's

  761. how the Kingdom of Heaven comes into Earth through you.

  762. Heartland Church. You have you have Mo made of

  763. prophetic words, release to you, and now there's coming a mo Aid

  764. of the Fulfillment of the promises that God has purposed

  765. in this house. And you have had good teaching

  766. and you have good spiritual intelligence.

  767. But I'm telling you even with the height of your good

  768. spiritual intelligence, you do not yet know and understand the

  769. value of who you are carrying. And God is going to bring forth

  770. a revelation of Christ in this house.

  771. That you have not yet enjoyed. It's coming.

  772. It's coming. I release this by the word of

  773. the lord. It's coming.

  774. It's coming, it's coming. And when he releases this on the

  775. inside of your hearts, You're going to be different, you're

  776. going to walk different, you're going to hold yourself

  777. differently because you understand the value of what you

  778. are required and what you are privileged, because requirements

  779. and privileges, always go together.

  780. You cannot separate them responsibility privilege.

  781. They're married. You have a responsibility to and

  782. Kenny you have a privilege for Ankeny and that's to reveal the

  783. Christ that's in you. That is the hope of glory not

  784. only for you but for everybody that you meet Would you stand

  785. with me? But father, I thank you for this

  786. day. I thank you for this house.

  787. I thank you for the leadership here.

  788. I thank you for Pastor, Dave, and Pastor Kathy.

  789. I think you for all the staff members and Heartland, I thank

  790. you for the, the childcare workers that have been stretched

  795. And I'm asking you this morning, Lord, that you will take this

  796. word and that you will seal it in our hearts and that you will

  797. breathe on it in our hearts. And then you will bring us into

  798. a dimension, where our eyes are open to see that you are a

  799. rising even now You're changing your posture, you're changing

  800. your position and you're moving from a place of ruling and

  801. reigning and seated in your throne to rising up and

  802. standing, and moving and exercising.

  803. The Dominion of your throne in the earth.

  804. In this hour, bring it forward, so that we can rise up to walk
