  1. when he said she really loves Jesus

  2. I just burst into tears so I really love Jesus

  3. a lot I actually if I could just stand up here and cry about how much I love Jesus

  4. that would be the best um

  5. whoa

  6. that's not the message I have today but it is the message

  7. I have today you know

  8. oh cause it's every message it's he's everything oh man

  9. whoa okay we're starting here that'll be good hahaha

  10. this will be good okay whoa how you guys doing today

  11. moms in the room you guys feeling

  12. loved and celebrated all the things good good good

  13. I gotta tell you just a little

  14. uh vulnerability moment so you can

  15. see me for the next uh 30 minutes and 44 seconds um

  16. this week uh

  17. getting this word up and out of me was a wrestle

  18. it was a like was a great deal of effort

  19. for me in fact I I wrote a beautiful message

  20. I planned it it is so good I worked

  21. really hard on it and I really hope I get to preach it one day

  22. that's not the message I'm preaching today

  23. last week on Sunday he began to change

  24. what he wanted to say and uh and so it's taken a lot

  25. for me a lot a big wrestle for me because I I'm gonna

  26. draw our

  27. attention to what I believe has been happening

  28. in us corporately in us individually um

  29. and and maybe even wider than that over the last

  30. six to 12 months and what's really interesting for me

  31. as a prophetic person is that often

  32. it's happening inside of me and

  33. then I become aware that it's happening

  34. inside of all of us and so the wrestle

  35. this week to get this all up and out was actually my own

  36. personal wrestle with the Lord

  37. and what he's been doing in my life and in my story

  38. really probably since the beginning of time but I don't have time to take you back that far

  39. I we're only gonna go back to October of last year

  40. but um

  41. I I I just have been really

  42. wrestling this word because it's actually

  43. uh it's been really costly for me to to share

  44. what I think he's been doing on my insides

  45. and and I also think

  46. in the hearts of so many of us and in us as a body um

  47. yeah yeah yeah so thank you Jesus

  48. let's just talk to Jesus for a second

  49. Holy Spirit Holy Spirit we love you

  75. we thank you we honor you

  76. amen amen amen amen amen

  77. amen amen hoo

  78. so I I spent the first half of this week um

  79. believing that the resistance I was feeling

  80. was the enemy haha anyone ever been there haha

  81. I'm like in this great

  82. wrestle of trying to get this word out for for today

  83. and I'm like this is the devil hahaha

  84. I'm rebuking things left and right

  85. and how many of you know when it won't leave hahaha

  86. you're not fighting the devil hahaha

  87. I'm like oh

  88. hahaha oh this is this this is the man Jesus

  89. who loves me so much and has me

  90. exactly where I need to be

  91. in the middle of all of this discomfort

  92. at the end of myself

  93. and so today I have to tell you that I physically

  94. cannot

  95. accomplish what I believe he wants to do for us today

  96. I physically personally in and of myself self

  97. cannot accomplish what I think he wants to do

  98. so Holy Spirit you have to do it

  99. you have to do it this has been one of my catchphrases

  100. for the past six months rose

  101. knows she gets texts from me from

  102. some of you get texts from me

  103. but she and I have been saying to each other if he said it

  104. he has to do it so thank you Jesus

  105. that you said and so your word accomplishes itself

  106. thank you Jesus

  107. that you are moving all across the room

  108. I believe that even as I share

  109. I'm gonna go back into our history and just connect some dots

  110. for us today

  111. and I believe that even as I do that there's encounters

  112. with his spirit available all across the room

  113. but I can't do that only he can do that

  114. and this is the posture that I believe he's bringing

  115. all of us to today it's actually already happening

  116. can you feel it right now

  117. it's actually already happening

  118. that he is bringing us all to the posture of I can't

  119. you have to

  120. you have to do it that we would become so yielded

  121. that he himself

  122. that his life would be completely made manifest

  123. on your insides that you cannot

  124. but he has to because he said it

  125. thank you that you're true to your word Jesus

  126. thank you that if you said it you will amen amen amen

  127. so this is a corporate word for us you guys and for each of us as individuals

  128. and I'm gonna again just give you about

  129. eight to 12 months of history

  130. I'm gonna read some prophetic

  131. words that you've already heard

  132. over us but I actually have just been made aware of how

  133. he's sort of been guiding us on this treasure map all

  134. along and it's in retrospect

  135. you know have you ever been in some of those seasons

  136. where you're standing

  137. in the in the victory and you look back and you're like oh my gosh

  138. this is everything that you did

  139. I didn't know that this word meant this thing

  140. until I was standing over here

  141. so that's a little bit of what I'm gonna be doing for us today

  142. and then it's gonna be a choose your own ending

  143. we're gonna see where the Holy Spirit leads us

  144. I've got two versions of how this ends

  145. planned out and then like an ABC in every version OK

  146. so we'll see what he does

  147. I'm also gonna speak a little bit to some of the roadblocks

  148. that I've felt prophetically

  149. in my own life and story and what I actively feel him

  150. pushing out and removing in this hour for us

  151. so in October of 2025 Whoo

  152. yeah real quick um just permission

  153. today that if you begin to encounter the Lord

  154. if the Holy Spirit begins to move

  155. or if you feel the need to

  156. respond to something happening in the room

  157. and I want to be really clear

  158. it may not even be the words that I'm saying

  159. in fact more than likely it will not be

  160. it will be something that your spirit is resonating

  161. with and I wanna activate you actually

  162. to respond all day whatever

  163. that looks like for you in the next 22 minutes

  164. if if you begin to feel a stirring

  165. and you wanna come to the front please do

  166. if you wanna stand

  167. please do if you wanna run laps I'm here for it

  168. whatever is happening in you I'm a running

  169. laps kind of person so I will fully relate

  170. I believe he wants to move okay

  171. thank you Jesus it's only you

  172. so in October of 2025 I'm at my house

  173. and I begin to pray and uh

  174. this word is still in process so you're getting

  175. what I have so far

  176. okay I've been stewarding this one since October

  177. and I begin to process

  178. with the Lord and just ask him some questions and

  179. he takes me to a vision

  180. and I see actually on our property

  181. um I'm at my home but I see on our property

  182. this giant cube

  183. it is a 10 you know maybe I don't know it's probably

  184. half the size of this stage a cube all the way around

  185. and it's made of glass

  186. so it's impossible to really see it

  187. um and I realize as I'm approaching it in this vision

  188. that it's not it's not like just see through

  189. glass it's actually mirrors

  190. so have you ever seen those buildings

  191. that are made of mirrors

  192. and they're like in the middle of the woods and you can't really see them because they're just reflecting

  193. everything around them right

  194. so it's impossible to see and I asked the Lord

  195. what is this cube this mirror cube

  196. this is an interesting thing to be seeing

  197. and he says it's pride

  198. which makes a lot of sense right it's really big

  199. it's immovable and it's impossible to see it

  200. and when I got up close to it what do you see when you're up close to a mirror

  201. just yourself

  202. yeah so I have this and at the same time I see this river

  203. that's wanting to flow and it's being diverted

  204. and shifted and it can't flow exactly where it wants to

  205. uh because of of pride

  206. it was blocking the way that god wanted to move

  207. that I knew it was a move of god

  208. that was being diverted by this structure

  209. and he begins to take me on this eight month

  210. journey to process

  211. this word I'm gonna share pieces of it as we go

  212. it's still very much in process okay

  213. so I just see this I start asking

  214. him what are you doing

  215. okay you're showing me that I've got some pride

  216. I start taking it to a few trusted friends I'm

  217. I'm very aware

  218. that if you're showing it to me it's about me

  219. so he starts taking me on this journey of what pride

  220. is looking like in my life and where is it showing up

  221. I didn't know I could have pride about those things

  222. that he showed me but I did

  223. there's lots of things in my life that get tested

  224. in that season where I'm like oh

  225. I thought this thing was keeping me safe that's okay

  226. I thought my belief system

  227. was keeping me safe

  228. okay alright we're gonna jump forward

  229. December of 2025

  230. Dan releases the anointing the visionaries word

  231. raise your hand if you

  232. remember this word if you were here for this yep okay

  233. that's okay I'm gonna remind those of you who don't

  234. remember Dan gets this word in a

  235. late 2025 he preaches a message on it in December

  236. and then it kind of becomes uh the the vision

  237. for what he wants to do what the Lord

  238. wants to do in our house in 2026 and it and it really

  239. starts to kind of guide some of the decisions

  240. that we're making and I'll share that in a minute

  241. this is what he says

  242. I believe he's releasing ideas

  243. blueprints plans and dreams

  244. along with the equipping to bring them to pass

  245. I see him bringing divine connections

  246. and networks of people that will bring

  247. uh this idea the plan or the dream about

  248. I believe he is orchestrating his body and he is moving

  249. them into places with the right complementary pieces

  250. to bring about these purposes

  251. he is doing something special with individuals

  252. but also with groups of people

  253. things will be created and released

  254. that could not otherwise be

  255. this anointing of the visionaries

  256. is not just for church

  257. leaders but for marketplace leaders as well

  258. 2026 will be a pioneering year a building year

  259. a year of exploration and experimentation

  260. a year of innovation and ideation

  261. a year of action and execution

  262. a year of excellence and purpose a doing

  263. year we will go from being hearers

  264. of the word to doers of the word

  265. I believe some of us will be experiencing ideas

  266. concepts revelations blueprints or plans

  267. I see them coming in night dreams

  268. daydreams downloads to the mind to name a few

  269. upgrades in gifts of wisdom

  270. words of knowledge prophetic and discerning of spirits

  271. all of these are giving eyes to see and ears to hear

  272. in order to bring about the realities of heaven

  273. and God's purposes in the earth

  274. the dreamers are dreaming again

  275. the builders are building again the hopeless

  276. are hoping again

  277. it's a good word right

  278. it it it didn't uh fully resonate if I'm being honest

  279. it resonated with my spirit okay there's a difference

  280. it didn't resonate with my logic in December of 2025

  281. he releases

  282. this word and my spirit is like yes that's true

  283. and my logic and my experience

  284. is like I don't know about that man are you sure Dan

  285. I don't know um

  286. so then in

  287. December so I'm keeping you on a timeline okay

  288. in December of 2025 I'm at Jesus conference

  289. after this word has been released and Jesus

  290. takes me back into a vision around the pride word

  291. I'm now standing in front of the pride

  292. box but I sit down on the ground and now Jesus

  293. enters the scene thank goodness I'm like where are you

  294. in this giant cube problem that I'm having

  295. can you be here please

  296. and it's a good thing to do if you're

  297. if you're seeing things or asking

  298. him you need to maybe ask him to be a part of the things that you're seeing

  299. he comes in and he uh sits down beside me

  300. and he asks me to look at him and I look at him

  301. instead of this glass structure

  302. when I look at Jesus his eyes become flames

  303. and his flaming eyes

  304. look at me and the longer I look the hotter I become

  305. and he actually begins I begin to set on fire

  306. my whole self in this vision I burst into flames

  307. and now all of me is on fire and I'm staring at Jesus

  308. I'm not looking at the other thing

  309. I'm just staring at him and I'm on fire

  310. and he says look at it now what do you see

  311. and I turn and I look at this glass structure

  312. and I see the man Jesus and me a pillar of fire

  313. I can't see myself anymore

  314. because I've been set ablaze

  315. and all the things that he wants to work on in me

  316. are getting set on fire okay

  317. so then so then pre conference

  318. March 13th this is the day before oh hold on

  319. you guys know that we've been build an

  320. entire conference called anointing the visionaries okay

  321. off of this word that Dan

  322. gave that my spirit is like yes good and my logic is like I don't know

  323. okay and we build an entire conference we we promote

  324. we put it on paper we give everybody

  325. a copy of this word

  326. that this is what the Lord is doing

  327. and then we have this conference now pre conference

  328. the day before the conference starts

  329. I'm gonna just read

  330. straight out of my journal what the Lord

  331. began to speak to me before the conference okay

  332. he says what I want to give you ha ha

  333. this is for you Beth

  334. and Lana this is not for Danielle Stein Spring okay

  335. what I want to give you is bigger than your capacity

  336. this is the discomfort you are feeling it is me

  337. tugging the things that have to go

  338. to make room for what I want to do in you

  339. and consequently through you

  340. I saw a big sign that said everything

  341. must go like a clearance outlet everything

  342. must go your comfort your preference your pride

  343. your flesh your opinions

  344. your good ideas your best laid plans

  345. your wildest dreams your assuredness in anything

  346. but me

  347. your certainty in anything but me your unforgiveness

  348. your false humility

  349. your pride that has masked itself as humility

  350. your care for the ways of this world your ambition

  351. your reputation everything

  352. must go your expectations

  353. I have to grow your capacity to hold

  354. what I'm about to place inside of you

  355. this purification is not for nothing

  356. my glory wants to rest on you and dwell in you

  357. you are meant to carry me in greater measure

  358. I am cleaning house for greater measure

  359. you want blueprints grow your capacity you want vision

  360. you have to lay down your map that you made you want

  361. ideas will you lay down your own

  362. will you let me pour out a new thing through you

  363. will you let me remove what needs to go

  364. will you get closer to my gaze so that I may make room

  365. may I grow your capacity by laying it all down

  366. this is how you grow your capacity

  367. laying it all down and by your faith your faith

  368. will increase your capacity

  369. oh faith in what

  370. faith in me

  371. faith in my own capability faith in my own doing no

  372. faith in him but now what has to go in order

  373. for me for him to make room for the vision

  374. that he wants to birth inside of you what has to go

  375. this is the journey I believe that we've been on

  376. so then we get to the conference

  377. okay we have a whole conference

  378. about anointing the visionaries

  379. literally we built the entire theme around this word

  380. and guess what

  381. none of the conference really felt like vision

  382. am I wrong it it didn't I I it didn't feel like vision

  383. it actually if I'm being very honest

  384. it felt like correction

  385. the whole conference felt like rebuke thank you Blake

  386. wherever you are

  387. it was actually very uncomfortable weekend

  388. I think for most of us in the room

  389. but this is what he said before right

  390. he actually promised me that

  391. he actually said that the night before the conference

  392. everything must go

  393. your comfort haha your preference your pride

  394. that doesn't

  395. sound like we're then heading into this like Whoo

  396. weekend fun vision

  397. he actually told me what was coming yes

  398. so I I came for pride that weekend you guys

  399. he came for pride

  400. he did massive heart work all over the room

  401. things that I can't even

  402. speak to because they're not my story

  403. but you have to understand he came for honor

  404. he reestablished honor humility

  405. this is what had to be done in order for us to be ready to house

  406. what is coming this is what's at stake

  407. you guys I'm getting there we're not even there yet

  408. so why don't we do this

  409. if this is what he's doing what has kept us from housing

  410. what he wants us to house what are the roadblocks

  411. that have hindered this type of move

  412. of creativity of vision ownership ambassadorship

  413. authority

  414. influence revival guys this is what's at stake

  415. revival is what's coming

  416. he's ready to make us ready for revival

  417. it actually won't be something that happens to us

  418. it will be something that happens through us

  419. we actually won't be passive participants

  420. in this we will be actively

  421. pursuer active pursuers of it

  422. reformation is on the line

  423. Renaissance is what's at stake

  424. the Renaissance

  425. move of god with all of his people say all of his people

  426. alive to their calls to their creativity

  427. to their influence and their authority

  428. this is what was being abdicated in me guys I gotta be really honest

  429. I was in a season

  430. where all of this and I haven't even gotten there yet

  431. was keeping me

  432. so locked down

  433. that I was abdicating what is rightfully mine

  434. I actually had a friend boldly

  435. meet with me for coffee the first time we hang out

  436. and he says to me you're abdicating

  437. your authority in the body of suffering

  438. is me this is you

  439. you were abdicating

  440. our authority and the world is suffering

  441. so what is keeping us there

  442. this is all for the glory of god to

  443. cover the earth like water the seas

  444. what are the things that the Lord

  445. has to eradicate in our lives in order to make space

  446. for this type of a move

  447. what has he been uprooting in me what has he been killing

  448. what has he been revealing

  449. and I've come up with a word and I don't know if I invented this word or not

  450. if you Google it and somebody

  451. else came up with it great

  452. but I created it in this context

  453. what he's uprooting is meism

  454. what is me ism

  455. it is any belief system that is upheld by me

  456. by my own doing by my own enoughness or lack thereof

  457. do you see that this can actually happen on both sides

  458. I can qualify myself

  459. through my performance and I can disqualify myself

  460. through my performance

  461. both are not rooted in the gospel

  462. and both are selling me short and selling

  463. the rest of humanity short

  464. how does this show up false humility

  465. feels real holy though doesn't it

  466. fear of man

  467. performance self deprecation

  468. insecurity

  469. the common denominator here in all of these is me

  470. this is me ism

  471. and it has had me

  472. bound to something lesser than a lesser kingdom

  473. and it is time for us to unshackle ourselves

  474. and move into the full authority

  475. that we're meant to carry in the earth

  476. see fear of man pride

  477. false humility self deprecation and insecurity

  478. are all from the same root in itself righteousness

  479. by the way he sees them as filthy rags

  480. it's all rooted in my own enoughness

  481. and my own enoughness becomes the gospel that saves me

  482. it's actually all of it pride

  483. this is why this whole journey

  484. started with this big glass cube

  485. where all I could see was me

  486. listen

  487. caveat

  488. we're gonna have a little parenthetical conversation

  489. right here

  490. if you hear any of this and say you gotta clean this stuff up and get it out

  491. it will be part of the problem

  492. it will self perpetuate itself

  493. because if you can perform it out

  494. it's still your gospel

  495. it's still not him

  496. this is not something that gets cleaned up

  497. this is something

  498. that gets destroyed by the fire in his eyes

  499. I'm actually talking about strongholds

  500. that we don't get to clean up

  501. shine up or beat ourselves into good behavior I am

  502. speaking to spiritual principles and principalities

  503. belief systems that get transformed

  504. inside the fire of his gaze

  505. this stuff doesn't go on your to

  506. do list it goes on the altar

  507. don't you dare try to perform it church or we'll

  508. continue to be lesser than

  509. and guys any righteousness is my own doing

  510. any place I've seen myself

  511. as righteous valuable secure through my own making

  512. are actually meant to keep me from fully

  513. expressing the peace of the Godhead that lives

  514. inside of me

  515. and is meant to impact the world around me

  516. you are actually meant to live inside the total

  517. impossibility of his life on your insides

  518. you cannot make it happen you cannot make happen

  519. that what he that which he wants to birth in you

  520. the move of god

  521. on your insides is meant to bring glory to him

  522. if you can do it it will bring glory to you

  523. if you can accomplish it in your own strength

  524. who gets the glory

  525. you are actually made to do wild exploits

  526. for the kingdom of god but faith in your ability

  527. will trip you up and keep you from it

  528. because it will show up like performance

  529. and self righteousness or insecurity doubt and lies

  530. and either one of those you are abdicating

  531. the authority he placed inside of you

  532. I gotta tell you something the spirit of Christ

  533. inside of you is not insecure in his call

  534. he knows who he is and you have been made one with him

  535. the spirit of Christ on your insides

  536. is not insecure in what he's meant to accomplish

  537. he is not shrinking to fit the environment

  538. he is not apologizing for being too big

  539. he is coming for the insecurity that has kept

  540. us trapped inside of the lies that forfeit

  541. our authority and our inheritance

  542. Bethel Atlanta you are made to rise he is coming

  543. for the beliefs and the strongholds that have kept you focused

  544. on yourself and therefore sacrificing your authority

  545. pride and insecurity have the same father

  546. they look different but they're related

  547. so conference

  548. weekend let's flash forward I got a lot of ground to cover

  549. we need the Holy Spirit conference

  550. weekend I have an experience that hits

  551. all of my insecurities

  552. and guys there was a whole room full of people that had no

  553. idea that I went on this trip okay took a little trip

  554. down insecurity lane

  555. all my deficits get Whoo flared

  556. I'm in a I'm in a

  557. I'm in a meeting this is exposing I haven't even told the people in the room that this was happening in the room so some of you were there

  558. okay haha hey nice to see you

  559. uh I'm in a room with Chris Vallentin that was amazing

  560. and um we're talking about normal random

  561. talking about church stuff and something triggers

  562. my insecurities I get like so flared up in this

  563. and I go quickly to my own enoughness my own insecurity

  564. the fear of man all the things get triggered

  565. inside of me sitting in a room with Chris Valentin

  566. and no one in that meeting could even tell anything

  567. was really wrong but I feel myself shrink

  568. instantly and by the way

  569. I'm rushing back here from the meeting

  570. to be on stage in front of all of you at conference

  571. like I literally walk in the back door drop my bags

  572. grab the microphone and I'm way swirly okay

  573. I begin to doubt the call

  574. I begin to doubt the assignment on my life

  575. I begin to pull away from my rightful

  576. authority in him and what he's called me to do

  577. the assignment you guys will kill me it will

  578. it's actually

  579. supposed to it's supposed to kill you too that's the other message

  580. I wrote maybe we'll get to it one day

  581. but your assignment is actually made to kill you

  582. there's a piece of me that really wishes

  583. I was living on a farm somewhere

  584. barefoot and baking sourdough every day

  585. that's what I'd really prefer to be doing

  586. but this is the call on my life

  587. the moment I felt insecure in my assignment

  588. in my identity

  589. in what I know that I know that I know that I know that he has called me to do

  590. I'm on stage holding the microphone

  591. talking to all of you

  592. and my warning lights are going off like sirens

  593. and the Lord says to me babe

  594. this is a crown that needs cast

  595. because I have

  596. again placed my security in what I can or cannot do

  597. he says get on the floor you've a crown to cast today

  598. anything that qualifies me outside of him

  599. has to get thrust at his feet

  600. anything that disqualifies me

  601. that did not come from him also has to get

  602. cast at his feet see insecurity

  603. is meant to reveal to you what your security is in

  604. insecurity

  605. if my security is in him I can never be insecure

  606. if I'm insecure in the anointing

  607. it's because my security was in the anointing

  608. if I'm insecure in my assignment

  609. it's because my security was in my assignment

  610. if I'm insecure in my friendships my security was in my

  611. if I'm insecure in how much money I'm making

  612. my security was in my paycheck hello

  613. hello

  614. what is your security in so I'm looking at myself

  615. saying I'm unqualified I'm incapable I'll never

  616. become what he said I would be I I I I me me me me

  617. do you hear this and I get on the floor

  618. and he scolds me in the most wonderful way

  619. have you ever had a kid pitch a temper tantrum

  620. and they're in the middle of their flare

  621. and you you're validating or attuning

  622. or doing all the wonderful motherhood

  623. things and there comes a moment

  624. when you're like babe let me help you enough is enough

  625. this is the moment I have with the Lord he says

  626. would you let me do this

  627. would you let my spirit lead

  628. would you let me do the work it's not for you anyways

  629. it's for me

  630. it's my work it's my plan it's my life it's my outcome

  631. live

  632. inside the comfort of my total capability to get you where you're going

  633. you submitted to him cannot miss it

  634. see insecurity is actually a fruit of performance

  635. it's a fear of man

  636. it's ultimately pride and it reveals where your

  637. in where your security is

  638. not to shame you it is not to shame you

  639. but it's actually meant to rush you into his security

  640. when I'm not saying don't ever feel insecure

  641. I'm actually saying allow yourself

  642. to feel fully insecure so that you can rush that thing

  643. straight into his insecurity

  644. your insecurity is meant to carve a space inside of you

  645. that is too big for anything to fill but him

  646. it is actually meant to make you completely and totally

  647. aware of how incapable you are

  648. it's actually supposed to do that

  649. it is meant to carve a craving inside of you for him

  650. and his ways because your ways are insufficient

  651. discomfort with who you are now and who you are not yet

  652. is meant to thrust you into a hunger

  653. for the only one who can make it so

  654. it's not meant to spiral you into meism

  655. but to launch you into the tension of

  656. this is who you say that I am and if he said it

  657. he has to do it

  658. we turn our attention from our lack

  659. from the facet of

  660. your humanity that makes it impossible

  661. to the facet of his glory that makes it possible

  662. oh my gosh you guys

  663. I'm gonna give you a few biblical examples hey

  664. Gideon in judges 6 through 7 classic

  665. he starts with 32,000 men

  666. god keeps cutting that number down first to 10,000

  667. then to 300

  668. and he explicitly says why you've got too many men

  669. I cannot deliver Midian into your hands

  670. or else you would boast against me and say

  671. my own strength saved me

  672. the victory comes through pots and pans

  673. do you think Gideon

  674. could have any pride in his own strategy

  675. bringing pots and pans

  676. do you think he could feel insecure

  677. when god confused the enemy and delivered

  678. them into his hand Moses in Exodus 3 through 4

  679. he argues with god I'm inadequate

  680. I'm not eloquent I'm fearful I'm insecure I'm

  681. slow of speech and tongue

  682. god says who made your mouth

  683. hello

  684. how can you be insecure when the one who literally

  685. created every fold of your vocal cords

  686. has told you to accomplish this thing

  687. David and Goliath 1st Samuel 17

  688. David rejects Saul's armor because it doesn't fit him

  689. and he faces a giant with a rock

  690. and he says the battle is the lord's

  691. it's armor versus dependence

  692. military strength versus faith

  693. but these men you guys and here's where it matters

  694. these men have these uh encounters as an event

  695. and you have it as an inhabitation

  696. the spirit of the living god in you

  697. uprooting the things that keep you

  698. stuck on your own strength

  699. and moving in power to drive you to craving

  700. his abundance and his ability over your own

  701. again he says to me this would you let me do this

  702. would you let me do the work it's not for you anyways

  703. it's for me it's my work it's my plan it's my life

  704. it's my outcome it's my dominion

  705. it's my glory it's my authority it's my power

  706. all the things we sing right

  707. if Jesus's assignment had to kill him yours does too

  708. you gotta understand something you guys listen

  709. he modeled something for us listen

  710. he modeled something for us

  711. when he allowed the assignment to break his flesh hello

  712. so that he could be filled with the resurrected life

  713. this is your call too

  714. for all of your flesh to die

  715. so that you can house the total resurrected life

  716. and then move in power it doesn't mean you stay dead

  717. hello

  718. I don't want to beat ourselves into masochism here

  719. what I'm saying is listen what I'm saying is

  720. you don't stay dead

  721. your flesh dies

  722. and you get a feeling of the spirit of the living god

  723. that you then actually get to impact the entire world

  724. around you with the resurrected Christ on your insides

  725. this is what he modeled for us

  726. all right you guys we are over time you hanging with me for a few more minutes

  727. so we listen we spent all of April here's my timeline

  728. we spent all of April going after the go pill pillar

  729. you guys were here for the wisdom of Solomon

  730. Word do you remember this who

  731. homegirls gotta breathe for a second hold on

  732. you remember the the wisdom of Solomon Word

  733. y'all don't make me laugh

  734. what came alive in you during that word

  735. what began to stir on your insides

  736. when you heard about a wisdom from another world

  737. that was meant to rest in you

  738. I'm not even gonna get into what it was for me a lot of things

  739. it is be a lot of things

  740. we don't got time come and ask me later Dan says

  741. this is what Dan says this is the word he releases

  742. over us at the end of April

  743. step into a place

  744. where there's an open door and an open heaven

  745. there's an invitation to explore the creative

  746. nature of your heart

  747. through the cross everybody say through the cross

  748. you can explore

  749. what it looks like to reveal the infinite wisdom

  750. the creative nature and the expression of who he is

  751. he says I pray that we

  752. receive an impartation of wonder

  753. what would that look like for you

  754. hunger and discovery and exploration

  755. what if this room was ignited to go after a unique

  756. expression in the earth

  757. regardless of what people thought

  758. or how much money it makes

  759. and then he says this and I felt it

  760. it hit me like a ton of bricks

  761. he said remove any lids in the room

  762. he says prophetically I rip the lid off of this house

  763. permission to dream to pursue and to explore

  764. the heart of the father and the dreams that he has

  765. so I believe

  766. we are in the first fruits of this reality

  767. and I think what he's been working out all along

  768. in each of us is actually meant to give birth

  769. to one of the greatest moves

  770. of god that the world has ever seen

  771. I believe we're on the tipping point of revival

  772. and it actually

  773. starts with us coming alive to who we are

  774. that we would no longer abdicate our authority

  775. because of anything that we can do

  776. nor anything that we cannot

  777. listen listen

  778. I've begun to hear bubbles all around the room

  779. little sparkles and twinkles in your eyes

  780. and you know who you are people's creative

  781. expressions are beginning to come to life

  782. are you feeling that even in yourself

  783. that prophetic vision is being breathed on

  784. remember we started

  785. with he's anointing the visionaries

  786. I believe that's true

  787. we just had some work to do to get there

  788. and now we're beginning to live in the fruit of it

  789. just the beginnings guys it's the beginnings

  790. are you awakening

  791. I think in one year we're gonna be unrecognizable

  792. everybody stand with me real quick

  793. there is a move of god waiting to be birthed out of you

  794. and in order for you to house it

  795. it is time for insecurity

  796. fear of man and performance to come out the dreamers

  797. the creatives the visionaries the entrepreneurs

  798. they cannot be stuck in pride anymore

  799. he says I have come to put to death the fear of man

  800. the uism that has kept you burdened

  801. shackled and ineffective the weight is coming off

  810. we unshackle ourselves

  811. from the lies that say that we're not enough

  812. and we step into our rightful place

  813. as sons and daughters of the living god thank you Jesus

  814. that you want to fill the earth with your glory

  815. like water the seas
