GUEST SPEAKER | SUNDAY 4TH MAY | MATT LANSDOWNE

I love that

song. I love that that that line, these

bones will sing. Sometimes it feels like

you go to places and it feels like the

surface of people's skin is singing it,

but their bones aren't singing

it. Sometimes it feels like they're

singing from a depth that's not terribly

deep. But uh but my prayer is that we

would sing those words, great are you

Lord and that we'd sing them with an

everinccreasing depth of like man

singing it from the core of our being to

the point

that it's like a fire in our bones that

we could try and hold it back but we

couldn't we couldn't hold it back. That

the praise would come from the deepest

part of our being. the praise would come

from that part of us that's been so

deeply impacted by the goodness and the

grace and the glory and the beauty and

the wonder of God that you would each

person in this room have discovered that

place in the in the in the absolute

center of God's heart and that absolute

center would have found its place right

in the middle of your heart and that

from the very center of your being an

explosion of uncontrollable praise would

erupt out of

that I just feel this sense of of of the

of the the

the fact that God's wanting to unblock

wells in this room today. He's wanting

to unblock wells. There there's there's

a flow of the spirit. There's that if

God began a good work in you, he will

complete it till it's finished. And

there's people in this room and God

began a good work in you, but the

enemy's come and there's been

distraction or there's been

disappointment or there's been um

there's been things that have happened

in your life that have caused you to

kind of forget about the goodness of God

or to be distracted from that. And

there's a good thing that began in you

that wants to begin again in you. That

wants to begin again in you. I just see

the Holy Spirit coming and taking rocks

out of people's wells, out of the wells

of people's hearts as individuals in

this room that God's wanting to restore

hope in this room in individuals and

also as a church. I just get this sense

and I don't know really at all the

history of this church. But I get this

sense that God is wanting to unblock a

well in the church. That there's

something that began here. And there's

something that's about to be unblocked

so that it continue into its next phase

into the next thing that's on God's

heart. That there's something about a

restoration that there's like a spirit

of restoration in this room right now

that God wants to restore people and God

wants to restore things in the spirit in

this church. And so, Father, right now,

we thank

you that you are the ultimate

restorer. You are the ultimate restorer,

God. That even when we have lost

complete hope, God, you never, ever,

ever, ever lose hope. You never lose

hope, you're the God that restores. And

when you restore, God, you restore with

an

upgrade. You restore beyond where we

were, God. God, you're always breathing

life everywhere you go. And so we

declare right now your life over every

person. If you're here and you're just

like, man, I need God to unblock a well

in me. I there's I relate to that.

There's I I have let hopelessness have

its way in me and I need that sure and

joyful expectation of the very best

outcome again. I need that Holy Spirit

hope on the inside of me again. I need

that again. Maybe you've been struggling

with something in your life and you have

believing the Lord for breakthrough and

you haven't received that breakthrough

yet and God's like, "I want to give you

hope." If that's you, lift your hand up

right now. And if there's someone next

to you that's got their hand up, put

your hand on their shoulder and we're

just going to start to be the family of

God. We're going to start to pray for

one another. We're going to start if

there's if there's multiple hands up

then, you know, just make sure

everyone's got a hand on them that's got

a hand up right now. Right now we

declare in the name of Jesus we declare

hope. I declare God your hope. Not our

hope, not our good ideas, God, but your

supernatural hope. God, I declare grace

from the throne room of God. I declare

grace over every person's situation.

God, I declare breakthrough in the name

of Jesus. I declare breakthrough in

people's

bodies, breakthrough in relationships,

breakthrough in marriages. There's

people here in your children that

there's there's there's like prodical

sons and daughters. And you you've like

been holding on to that promise of them

coming back to the father, but you've

been like struggling to hold on to that.

And I just speak over you today that

today is your day of

breakthrough. I declare breakthrough

over you in the name of Jesus.

And I declare over this church right now

that something in the spirit has been

unblocked. That something in the spirit

is being

unblocked. Holy Spirit come. Holy Spirit

just come and rest on every person. Holy

Spirit come. We are we are we are

choosing hope this morning. And God we

are asking you to come and to do what

only you can

do. to do what only you can do. That

this is a house of miracles, God.

Because you are a God of

miracles. This is a house of

miracles. This is a a community that is

beyond what can be accomplished in the

natural. This is a community, God, that

is built and designed to confront the

impossible because of your grace.

because of your

grace. Because of your

grace, there's um there's some women

here with um like maybe it's

endometriosis or some kind of like thing

going on in your um stomach

area. If it might be embarrassing, I'm

not sure. But in a second, I'm going to

get you to put your hand up. There's

other other people here. You've got

tumors or cancer.

In a second, I'm going to get you to put

your hand up. There's other people here.

There's someone here and you've got um

some serious pain in your right knee.

It's like a sports injury. But if you've

just got pain in your right knee and

you're like, I didn't get it in a sports

injury, but I wish I wish it was just

me. Then it can be you as well. Just you

can just include yourself in that. Um

there's people here with hearing

problems.

There's people here with um like skin

conditions, like a skin, like a rash,

kind of a eczemary thing going

on. God wants to heal you. There's

people here that just need a miracle in

their body right

now. We serve a God. You're here because

you serve a

God that has forever healed the

sick. This is bread and butter. This is

the children's bread right here. Healing

is the children's

bread. Every single place that Jesus

went, he healed the sick. And I know

it's not news to you, but Jesus is here

this

morning. Which means it's totally

abnormal for us to be in a Christian

gathering and the sick not be healed.

I mean, to hear that miracles are

happening on

youth. I mean, it would be a miracle if

miracles didn't happen at youth.

I mean, how far can your faith stretch

to believe for maybe the possibility

that a miracle might not happen? That's

too far for my

faith. I don't have the capacity to

believe for

that because Jesus is here.

Jesus is here. Jesus is here. It's

absolutely normal and natural for

miracles to happen right now because

Jesus is here.

If you need a miracle, if I just called

out a condition that you're struggling

with or you just need a miracle, maybe

hey Matt didn't call out your condition,

but you can just you can just put

yourself in there. There's miracles for

you. Just put your hand up right

now. Just put your hand up right

now. Put your hand up. This is not like

a healing meeting, but it's a Jesus

meeting. So therefore, it's kind of is a

healing meeting. Just put your hand up.

If you're next to someone with their

hand up again, go find someone with

their hand up. Go put your hand on their

shoulder and maybe ask them what's going

on for

them. Don't get into a big long

conversation, but just just briefly,

very briefly, tell them what's going on.

If if you've got your hand up and no

one's praying for you yet, just leave

your hand up. And if your your if you're

not hand is not up, you're part of the

ministry team right now.

um just come and find

someone and in in 10 seconds we're going

to pray all together in 10 seconds. So

quickly quickly start wrapping up um

sharing what's going on and get ready to

pray.

Okay, right now everyone

just everyone just sh

everyone before you pray keep your hand

on their

shoulder and I just want

you to

internally turn your complete attention

to

Jesus. I don't want you to think about

the sickness that you're praying for. I

don't want you to think about the

healing that needs to take place. I just

want you to think about

Jesus. I just want you to think about

how amazing the presence of Jesus

is. I want you to be aware of the

presence of Jesus around you right now

because it's his presence that

heals. It's his power that

heals. And and from that

place, I want you just to receive from

the presence of Jesus and release that

presence on the person that you're

praying for right now. I want you to

receive it and release it. And you can

release it with words. You can release

it with a prayer. You can release it by

whatever kind of faith mechanism comes

to mind for you. But right now, we pray

over this room. We declare over this

room. You can start to pray with me. We

pray over this room. We declare over

this room right now.

the weight of your glory. God, we

declare over this room right now healing

in the name of Jesus. We declare

miracles over this room. We declare

miracles over this room. Miracles over

this room. Every single tumor, we

command you to disappear right now. We

command you to disappear right now.

Deafness, we command you to go right

now.

sickness and disease,

cancer, we command you to go right now

in the name of Jesus

Christ. In the name of Jesus Christ, we

take authority over every sickness.

Headaches leave right now. We ask you,

God, where bodies need to be put back

together

again. We ask for creative miracles for

bodies to be put back together

again, where body parts are missing or

where things are uh are needed. Maybe

there's cartilage that's missing in the

knee or wherever it might be that we

just ask for a creative miracle right

now.

God, we ask you to do what you can do

that we cannot

do. Thank you,

Father. Thank you,

Father. Thank you, Jesus. Wow. Thank

you, Jesus. Okay, now just quickly test

it out. We're not going to spend very

long on this, but just quickly test it

out. Someone at youth, by the way, um

got uh had hurt their shoulder in um in

August last year snowboarding and they

didn't have full movement of their

shoulder and but they never checked it

out in the service. They were going home

and they were driving their car and they

realized they had all their movement

back.

But so the point is you got to test it

out. You got to test it. Otherwise,

maybe you don't know if you've been

healed. So, test it out. Test it out.

Test it out. Test it out. Just quickly

just test it out. Just quickly test it

out. Some of you will be healed right

now. Some of you be healed through the

meeting. Some of you be healed at

different points. But just test it out.

Test it out. Now, give me a wave if you

feel a difference or if you feel healed

or you feel like you received something.

Just lift your hand up down here. Up

here. Awesome. Anyone else? Just over

here. Awesome. Anyone else? Over here.

Over here. Over here. There's heaps of

your hands. Come on, Jesus. Come on,

Jesus. Come on,

Jesus.

Yes. Oh, wow. Well, if you just lifted

your hand up, or if you're like, man, I

didn't lift my hand up because I was

scared that if I did lift my hand up,

you were going to get me to come and say

what happened on the microphone, and I

didn't want to be exposed like that, so

I kept my hand down. Sometimes that does

happen.

Um then my instruction to you and my

encouragement to you is before you leave

this room, please come and tell a leader

or someone that you know that is

connected to this church. Please come

and tell them what happened because we

really want to use the testimony of what

happened in your life right now to to go

home this evening and praise God with to

just actually give thanks to

God. Okay. By the way, uh David said

this, I will magnify you with

thanksgiving. I will magnify you. If we

don't know what God's done, we can't

give

thanks. But once we know what he's done,

now we can say thank you. And when we

say thank you, something's magnified.

I will magnify you with thanksgiving. In

other words, magnify means to make more

powerful. I will make you more powerful

or make you bigger through

thanksgiving. When we're talking about

miracles and we're thanking him for

miracles, when we give thanks for that,

what that does is it increases, it makes

bigger the realm of miracles in the

community that we're giving thanks in.

Now, you can't make God more powerful

because he's already all powerful. But

you

can you can cooperate with his power and

his authority and bring that more so

into your environment through

Thanksgiving. Okay. Awesome. So, that's

my instruction to you. Um, do you mind

if I if I come down here? Is that okay?

Is that all right? Does it gonna mess

with anything?

All right. Praise the Lord.

Um, thank you, Jesus. Uh, I I I I don't

like standing on stages because um I

don't think Jesus

does. I just get this. I mean, I love I

Bless the stage. Bless the stage. Bless

the stage. I It's a good-look stage.

I've got nothing at all against that

stage. And I love Oh, can we just give

the musicians a hand?

Thanks, guys. That was so good. Um, but

I just get this sense all the time when

I'm on a stage that Jesus is Jesus

doesn't want any any sense of separation

between him and his people. And I just

always get this sense like if Jesus was

preaching this morning, he would jump

off the stage. He would just want to be

as close as possible to

you. Okay, so that's I want to be like

Jesus. So therefore, I'm off the stage.

Um, hey, um, it's awesome to be here.

What an awesome church. Thanks guys so

much for having me. Um

uh um Oh, yes.

Skate. Boom. My little daughter there,

she's reminding me, I I said to them,

there's a couple of other words I've got

to chuck into my message today. But I

said to all the kids, I said, um, you

can give me one word and I've got to try

and sneak it into the sermon. And so

Mila's like, remember the word, remember

the word. So I just escaped.

Boom. Was that the It's half cheating

what I just did there. But

um thank you Lord. Thank you Lord. I get

that

done. Get that done. But it's so good to

be here and what an awesome group of

people and just to just to feel the

feeling of worshiping with you guys and

to feel the hunger and to feel

the I get this sense of that God you are

great. I get this sense of that going

deeper and deeper and deeper and deeper

and deeper and deeper and deeper and

deeper with you guys. I just want to

encourage you to just pursue that

culture of worship and prayer in this

church. There's something so that God

wants to unblock in the spirit and it's

just there's a flow of the spirit that

God wants to have in this place. That's

beautiful. So, um uh it's awesome to be

here. My name is Matt Lansdown.

Um, and uh, we're from Tidor. Just in

case you don't know anything about us,

we're from Tidor. This is my wife Renee

and Ma and Sienna and my other daughter

Ari somewhere in the room and uh, over

here. And, um, and there's lots of you

that I know in this room. So, it's good

to see you all. I won't name names, but

awesome to see you all. And, uh, we

currently are, um, running a an

organization, a ministry called We See

Gold. We we focus on encouraging the

church and empowering the church to live

as sons and daughters like Jesus Christ.

That the normal Christian life is the

life that looks like Jesus. And anything

less than the life of Jesus is less than

normal. And if we're less than normal,

then there's room to repent back into

normal again. So um that's that's our

emphasis. We also uh do a lot of mission

work particularly in Southeast Asia. Uh

we um currently doing a project on the

Thai Myanmar border which I can't really

share that much about other than

um it's the called the Jesus rice

project and we're smuggling Jesus and

rice to people who are stuck in a war

zone. Um and that's really cool and

exciting. We're planting churches in

these encampments in the jungle in a

particular place in Asia and um and

people are getting fed who otherwise

won't eat and they're receiving Jesus.

um in some of the toughest

situations really that I've ever seen on

planet Earth. So um it's pretty cool

watching God God work. Um in December,

Renee was there and she saw uh they

prayed as a team for Sorry, I'm trying

to get this lid off at the same time.

There you go. There you go. Um there was

a a person in one of the one of the

camps that was paralyzed who just jumped

out of bed. Actually, after the team

left, they prayed, they stayed in bed,

and then after they left, they got a

call saying, "As soon as you left, we I

jumped out of bed and was totally

healed." And um lots and lots and lots

of miracles. Uh I think everyone that

when Renee was there, everyone in one of

the places that was able to test if they

if they were healed or not, every single

person they prayed for was healed.

That's uh that's pretty cool. That's

pretty cool. So, thank you, Jesus. Lots

of people receiving Jesus. Lots of

people having demons cast out and thank

you, God. So, that's a little bit about

us. I'll drink to

that. Oh my gosh, there's a great cloud

of witnesses here, too. I didn't even

see you guys up

there. Well, the the upper room. Come

on.

Yes.

Well, okay. Well, I've got something I

want to share with you and then after I

finish sharing a few things, uh, we're

going to get the worship team back up

and we're going to pray for some people.

And there's some stuff that I think God

wants to do. But we're in a moment right

now where where God

is God is raising up a David

generation. God is raising up a David

generation. There's something about the

life of David that is relevant for right

now. Now, that's probably been said for

the last 20 years, but it is is more

true today than it was a year ago, than

it was 2 years ago, than it was three

years ago, than it was four years ago.

There's something about right now in the

life of David. Often there are there are

types and shadows that are represented

by one person that God uses that one

person as an example of what would be

true or will be true of a generation to

follow. Like for example, Jacob. Jacob

was one man. He laid his head on a

stone and he went to sleep and the

heavens were opened up and a ladder was

was uh set up over Jacob. The angels of

God were ascending and descending on the

ladder. He woke up. He said, "Surely God

was in this place but I knew it not and

this is none other than the house of

God, the gate of heaven." And then Psalm

24 says this, um this is the generation

of Jacob, those who seek your face,

referring straight back to Jacob and

that encounter. And so what is what is

true is that Jacob was one man who

represented what would be true. He was a

prophetic type and a shadow of what

would be true of an entire

generation. And David is also that David

is a type and a shadow of what is true

of this generation right now. You could

have said it about the last generation

as well, but it is more true now than it

was then. There's something about David

right now. There's there's all these

different things that are pointing to

that. One thing is that the David has

anyone seen the the house of

David. Yes. Oh man, I can't believe how

many Christians have not seen that.

Guys, you need to watch that. I know

like some of you don't believe in TV and

stuff, but you should just watch that.

You should just watch that. It's such a

good series. And um there's something

about about a declaration of the life of

David. And that's

cool

because we don't have a Goliath problem.

We have a lack of David

problem. We don't have a darkness

problem. We have a lack of light

problem. The solution is not strategies

to try and get rid of Goliath. We have a

lot of Goliath. We have a lot of things,

a lot of giants in the land that we're

living in right now. We have a lot of

giants that are trying to occupy the

promised land that God has promised to

us to occupy that has promised to the

kingdom of God. And there's lots of

giants that are absolutely

intimidating. There's lots of giants

that are beyond our particular personal

capacity to

overcome. There are lots of obstacles

that when you look at them, they're

actually they are actually hands down

impossible.

There are lots of things that when we

look at those things for example there's

something that we're praying into right

now which is there's

um trying to say this in a short way

there there are uh one issue that we're

praying into and seeking the Lord for a

solution to is that there is right now

there's a human trafficking issue on the

border that we work

alongside and the human human

trafficking issue is this um dynamic

where there are scam camps set up in the

Myanmar side of the Thai Myanmar border.

And these scam camps um that what they

do is they kidnap people and they

traffic them into these compounds which

are the size of entire they are entire

cities and they force them in prison.

They force them to scam people in the

west. So the people that scam you are

not doing it because they want to do it.

They're doing it because if they don't

do it, they get tortured or

killed. And so there are currently in

one of the places that we work, there

are 200,000 approximate people who are

being held against their will, forced to

scam people every day. If they don't

make 10 to 20,000 US a day, they're

electrocuted and and are not allowed to

sleep until they make that money. And if

they don't make the money, then the

consequences are much

worse. Now, this is protected by

government armies, by all these

different

organizations that you can't get

through. You can't do anything about

this. But God can do something about it.

God, we have there are giants in the

land that are utterly intimidating, but

then they do not intimidate God. We

don't have a darkness problem. We have a

lack of light problem. We don't have a

Goliath problem. We just need David's.

Goliath is never the problem. The

problem is where where when will David

rise

up? And I just want to encourage you

like if there's one David in here, then

it's worth me being

here. I feel like there's many Davids

and David

here. This is actually a generation of

David. I was in Bali. I just want to

share the story with you to illustrate

what I mean by David rising up. I was in

Bali a few years ago now and uh and I

tell this story often when I'm sharing

this because because this story was like

it just it just drove it home for me.

But I was in Bali. I was in the end of a

about a 10 to two week mission trip.

I've been in Indonesia with the team and

we had been uh ministering night and day

in the middle of the day lunchtime all

through the day. We were doing like

almost 24 hours. It was crazy. We were

speaking right through the night. and

then driving through the night, arriving

in the morning at another place,

speaking all day and ministering. And I

got to the end of that trip and I was

just, to be quite honest,

exhausted. I was like, man, I just need

um I'm just I'm just ready for this to

be the last meeting and I'm ready to

then go home and sleep for a year. And

uh it was in this church in Bali, quite

a big church, about a thousand people in

this church. And um I was speaking in

this church and we're I don't remember

what I was talking

about something about Jesus and um and

then we said if uh if you need a miracle

then stand up and and about I mean just

guessing but about it seemed like about

600 people stood up and then I thought

okay what we'll do is to try and avoid

having to lay hands on every single

person because I'm I'm really I don't

want to be burning flesh. I want to stay

burning oil. Like I'm feeling exhausted.

I'm not feeling really like I have what

it takes to finish this meeting. We're

just going to do a blanket prayer and

see. Lord, just please just heal

everybody. And so a whole bunch of

people got healed. Um but then still

about 200 or so, maybe even more came up

the front after that. And I thought,

okay, well, let's let's just let's just

pace I'll pace myself. I'll pace myself.

So started praying for this person, this

going just try just walking along the

the room praying for people, praying for

people, laying hands on people. You get

to about 30 or 40 people left and I'm

thinking, okay, I've got about this much

energy. Um I know you guys aren't like

this. You guys are like just just like

got a you just plumbed in and

everything's good. But for me, I

sometimes feel exhausted every now and

again. And so 30 40 people get and I'm

down to like 10 people. I'm thinking,

okay, I've got 10 people grace left. So,

I'm I'm rationing the grace for each of

these people, and I'm thinking, oh, this

bit of grace for that person, this bit

for that person, and then I'll be like

completely out. I'll crawl to lunch. But

then I'm thinking there's definitely

going to be some people hiding in the

seats that will pop up like mircats, you

know, and you're like, and so probably

another 15 20 of them. So, I've got a

rationale. I'll give each of them a

third of the portion I first assigned to

them because of the knowledge that

there's people like me cats hiding in

the seats. So I get to the end of this

and then sure enough and they all right

come up and I've I've I've already a lot

of grace for you guys too. And so we're

just praying and and stuff's happening

and now I get to the last person and I'm

like okay I I am

done. And then I see these two guys, my

two friends from the church start to

walk down with this person there.

There's persons walking in the middle of

them both and she's got a like a Muslim

head covering thing on and I'm like, "Oh

no, they're looking at me. They're

looking at me. Don't look at me." So I

did this.

Hello.

Hello. Yeah. No. Good. Good. Yeah.

Great. And they sort of were doing what

you guys are doing now that like I could

probably just walk out of the church now

and you guys would just be okay with

that. So just pretending I was on the

phone and then they they they blocked

the aisle and I'm

like, "Ah, I'll just call you back. Hang

on." And then and then uh they said,

"Um, we need you to pray for this one

last person." And I'm thinking, "Okay,

Lord, just let it just be like um you

know, she's going to she's got exams or

something. I just bless her exams, you

know, like something easy, something

just

easy. Everything's easy for God, but

sometimes things don't seem easy for

you." And I was like, "Please don't be a

Goliath." And they said, "Yeah, she's um

first time ever in a Christian church.

She's um 21 years old, and for 21 years

since she was born, she's had tumors in

her throat. And they're so big now

they've proceeded beyond the edge of her

chin. So it's just chin straight down

like that. She's had to have a hole

drilled here so she can breathe and she

can't eat food through her mouth. It has

to be here. And um she's in 11 out of 10

pain constantly. And she's come because

she's believing the Lord for a

miracle. I'm like, Lord, this is like

the opposite of what I was hoping for.

I I I I just I just don't have I don't I

already allotted all the grace and now

there's nothing left. I I'm fully

burning flesh. I've got nothing left.

I'm dry as a

bone. And the Lord said to

me, "You're my You're my boy. I'm your

father. I'm not looking for someone to

do my job. I'm already good at my job. I

don't want to retire. You don't need to

be good at my job. You just need to be

good at being a little boy with a big

papa. You just need to be good at being

a little boy with a good father. And

right now, you need to lean back into

me. And I have grace. You don't have to

have grace because I have grace. All you

you don't need to be the preacher, the

the healing guy, the revivalist, the

whatever other title you've given

yourself. You don't need to be that. You

just need to be my son because sons

reveal the father.

It's sons that reveal the father. And so

I said, "Okay, well, I can do that. I

can lean back and I can I can I can put

my proverbial head on the pillow of the

resting place of the fact that I'm a son

and I can rest back and just lean back

into that and trust." And so I did and

we prayed. And uh she starts to

cry. And after about two minutes, she

opens her eyes and she says this. She

says something that is a kind of a side

note, but it's profound. She said,

"Wow." She's crying, obviously moved.

"Wow, I'm

like maybe

like 10%

better." Like all the tumors are all

still there. All still there. I'm like,

that's what people say when they're

trying to let you down easily.

That's what people say when they're

trying to say like, you know, nothing

happened, but just so that you can be a

little bit encouraged guy that prayed

for me, I'm about 10% better. Yeah, now

you can go thank the Lord for the 10%

and I can go away knowing that I haven't

made you feel

bad. That's normally what people say,

but she and and 10% is like really 10%.

I mean, how do you judge 10%.

Like most people aren't encouraged by

that or it's even maybe just in your

head to be honest. That's honestly

sometimes it's in it's not actually

actual real something maybe actually

hasn't

happened. But she is weeping and she is

so thankful and she's not even a

Christian. I've never from before that

and even after that I've never seen a

Christian respond with so much

thankfulness as this Muslim girl. I will

magnify you with thanksgiving. And so I

thought, well, I've got to pray for you

at least one more time. So prayed

again. Just a little boy with a big

papa. I got no energy, but you've got

lots of energy, God. And then she starts

to shout. I've got my one hand here and

one hand here. And she starts to

go like a thing on the top of a piano.

What are they called? A metronome. She's

like a human metronome just

going. And then she starts to whail. She

starts to just whail with like

uncontrollable sobbing. And like to the

point I vividly remember this bit of

snot coming out of her nose. And it was

like swinging like a bomb knocker, like

a stringy bit of snot. And I was like,

and it was like shoo. And I was like

just trying to like please don't clip

the lower part of my pants. Just you

don't want like a big stringy bit of

snot on my pants. And I was I remember

like thinking, Lord, just touch her.

Whoa, watch out for the bombing knocker.

You know, you're thinking all the

practical things as well as the

spiritual things at the same time. And

then and then um after about 3 minutes,

she's still sobbing. She's standing

there and just the presence is just

super thick. And she says she pulls her

scarf down. There's no tumors. No tumors

there. And then she says um she says,

"When you prayed for me, uh" and she's

sobbing. She says, "A hand that wasn't

your hand. I could feel your hands where

your hands were. But you but a hand that

wasn't your hand went underneath my skin

and pulled the tumors out like ripped

them out is the word that she used. And

they're not there anymore. And I'm not

in pain at all. And she's freaking out.

[Applause]

Okay. The next morning she's um she's

trying to do her prayer to Mecca, you

know, do her Muslim prayer. And they

have like the words that they've got to

say. They've got a prescribed set of

words that they've got to say for their

their particular prayer that they've got

to do in that part of the morning. And

all she could all she's saying in her

head, she's saying the words that she's

meant to say, but the words that are

coming out of her mouth are the lyrics

of the song that we're singing. God,

show me your glory. And she's like, "No,

no, say the Muslim prayer and show me

your glory. Show me." She realizes, man,

nothing is coming out of my mouth except

for show me your glory. So she decided

to go back to the conference the next

day back at the same place that we were.

She walks in, she starts balling as she

walks into the church. She gave her

heart to Jesus that day. Had an

encounter in heaven and then that

afternoon she was baptized in the

pastor's pool and she's still serving in

that church

today. Thank you,

Jesus. That's so good. That's so good.

But I tell you what, like sometimes

you've just got to you've just got to

position yourself. You've got to remind

yourself. You got to

remember that it's not on you.

That your life is meant to feel

impossible. Your life is meant to feel

your your the way that you've been

designed. God has designed your life and

prepared your life and allotted your

life. So so that giants are on your path

on purpose.

That it's meant to feel impossible

because it's meant to position you. It's

meant to encourage you. It's meant to

draw you into this place where you draw

near to him so that he can draw near to

you. It's meant to draw you into this

place where you become where you step

into who you are, a son or a daughter of

God with a good father and where God, I

can't do it, but you

can. It's meant to draw you into trust,

not into

striving. We don't have a Goliath

problem. We have a lack of David

problem. I love the story of David. I

love the story of David. There's so many

things about David that I love, but I

love the fact that he was the the the

least of the least, that he was the

outcast of the family that when Samuel

came to anoint the next king of Israel,

the seven

sons, all David's brothers were there

except for David. And then Samuel's

like, "It's none of these guys. You must

have a son that you're hiding in a

cupboard somewhere."

you know, the the one that you're

ashamed of or the one that's like you've

you've you've counted out, the one that

is just like in your mind definitely not

going to be right for the job, but where

is he? And and Jesse goes and gets him.

He comes and he's he's like, "This is

the one." God judges an outwards uh

sorry, man judges outward appearance,

but God looks at the

heart. God doesn't look at what what um

sorry, yeah, God doesn't look at what

you can do in the natural. God looks at

what is in your

heart and he anoints David, the king of

uh the next king of Israel. And then not

long after that, David is going to the

front line of battle to give his

brothers

food. And he sees this giant Goliath

taunting the armies of

Israel. And Da and David is is all

right. Who's he's asking for a champion?

Who's

going? I mean, surely there's someone

out of this massive Israeli army that's

going to go and take out just this giant

guy, this Goliath guy. I mean, Israel,

you guys are the most elite army on the

face of the earth. You have more

training. You've been more equipped. You

have more equipment. Sure, you're

outnumbered, but you guys like I mean,

you guys, every one of you is worth at

least 10 of them. Like, you guys are

elite. any one of you could go take on

this guy. And they're like, "No way,

man. We're not going." Have you seen

that guy? He's huge. Have you seen that

guy? He's massive. You know, you are you

are you will be you will be overwhelmed.

You were designed to be

overwhelmed. You were designed by God to

be overwhelmed by God. And if you're not

overwhelmed by God, you'll be

overwhelmed by something else by

default. If you're not positioning

yourself daily to be overwhelmed by God

in the secret place, then there will be

a vacuum on your life that will draw you

draw you into a place where you will

become overwhelmed by something you were

never meant to be overwhelmed by. That

you need to remember to come before the

face of God in the secret place and

daily be overwhelmed by his

goodness. That the army of Israel were

overwhelmed by

Goliath. They were overwhelmed. They

were looking at him and thinking, "Man,

have you seen that guy? There's no way

that I have anything to to use, any

effort that I can put in to defeat this

guy." And David's like, "I I I seen that

guy,

but have you seen that

guy? Like, you guys, well, you guys are

overwhelmed by this guy. You forgot to

be overwhelmed by this guy."

And David says, "I I'll go take him on."

And they're like, "You're a boy. I'm

yeah I'm a boy with a good father. It's

not about who I am. It's not about

whether I've trained where I've done my

40-day fast or whether I've done three

years at Bible college or whether I've

read the Bible from cover to cover or

whether I've got experience in healing

the second raising the dead or casting

demons out or whatever my qualification

is. Doesn't

matter. It's not about my qualification.

You can look at me and say, "Yeah,

you're a little boy. What are you going

to do exactly? What am I going to do?

Here's what I'm going to do. I'm going

to step on the

field. I'm going to step on the field.

And when I step on the field, it's not

about me stepping on the field. It's

about the fact that he steps on the

field. Cuz he doesn't leave me nor

forsake me. He's with me everywhere I

go. He is in my steps with me. He wears

my shoes with me. When I go to the

supermarket after church, he goes to the

supermarket with me. When I go to the

cafe, he goes to the c When I go on the

airplane, he goes on the airplane. When

I go home to my family, he goes home to

my family with me, in me, alongside me.

I live and move and have my being in

him. He has covenanted himself to me. He

loves

you. He refuses to be separate from you.

Separation is an illusion.

So he goes to Saul and Saul says, "Um,

well, you you you know, you're a boy.

Like there's no way." And he says,

"Well, in my defense, I have killed a

lion and a

bear."

And which

actually actually is pretty epic. I

mean, that is worth taking note of. So

Saul's like, "Wow, all right. Yeah.

Well, you do seem convinced and okay,

you've killed a lion and a bear and your

brothers are there to testify to that.

So, all right, cool. Well, let's give

you a go, but make sure you wear my

armor. So, David put Saul's armor on.

Now, Saul's armor obviously represents

the ability of man. Obviously represents

what man can do, what people around you

can, what external sources other than

God can do to qualify you for a job that

God can only qualify you for.

And so he puts on David's armor and

sorry, Saul's armor and he starts to

walk and he's like,

"Man, I

just I just can't really walk in this. I

can't really be myself in this. I can't

really It's just It's just not me." And

it's true. It is just not you. And for

you in this room, it's just not you

either. That that your life is not meant

to be propped up by the qualification of

man. You're not life is not meant to be

um

um that's not meant to be where your

significance or where your strength

comes from, where your confidence comes

from. It's not from what you can do to

achieve confidence, but it's from what

he's already

done. It's from what he's already

done. And he says, I just got to go as

me. I'm going to leave your sword. I'm

going to leave your spear. I'm going to

leave the shear. I'm leaving the arm.

I'm leaving all of that stuff behind. I

I I can't s

Thanks, but I can't rely on that. That

can't be where my trust is because it's

not about my ability. And I have to make

sure I'm intentional about

that. I can't fluke that. I need to be

intentional in my life to position

myself in a way where it's all him.

and he goes to this river which

represents the spirit and he reaches and

he pulls out five smooth

stones which is awesome. Five smooth

stones. Now stone is translated um the

Hebrew word for stone. There's three

Hebrew words for stone but this

particular word used here is the word

that is every time it's used as crazy

prophetic. And it's not always this word

that's translated in English as stone,

but sometimes it is. And this word in

this particular occasion is the Hebrew

word abim, which means uh which is two

Hebrew words joined together. Aba

meaning father and ben meaning

son. Also, Jacob laid his head on a

stone on an aban. Father and son fused

as one. It's John 17.

It's me and my father. We are one and

you are one with us. It's this oneness

with God. It's the oneness. It's the

union. It's communion. It's this it's

this dynamic that we get to live in him

and him in us. That we are not separate

even for a moment. That the veil is not

half torn. The veil is fully

torn in our minds. We were once

alienated from God in our minds.

But there's a veil in Christ. When one

turns to the Lord, the veil is lifted.

There's something about the fact that

that veil is lifted and we are conscious

now of the fact that we are living in

him and he is living in us. We are one

with him. We are up. And David reaches

in as a representation of what would be

true of an entire generation. And he

reaches and he takes out those five

stones and he comes to Goliath. And

Goliath says, "What do you you what are

my dog that you come to me with sticks

and

stones?" And David's thinking,

"Yeah,

yeah, yeah, but you just lost sight that

yeah, I'm little. Yeah, maybe sticks and

stones." Okay, all true. But you can't

see something. There's an invisible

reality that you're about to become

aware of. And he's here. Here he is. And

David David slings that stone, throws

that stone, and that stone sinks into

Goliath's forehead. And and the an

entire nation is liberated by a little

boy with a big father, by a little boy

with a big papa that he didn't he didn't

throw his sword. He didn't throw his

spear. He didn't use his might. He

didn't use his effort. He threw a

revelation that he was walking in. And

that revelation took down a giant. That

revelation took down a giant. And that

revelation will take down giants today.

That is the revelation that Jesus Christ

died on a cross to set you on. That he

wants you to know that you are his son,

that you are his daughter, and that he

is your good father. That you are loved

and it's not your fault. That you are

loved and there's nothing you can do

about it. You are doomed to the love of

God. that that he loves you. Not because

you did anything to deserve his love,

not because you did anything to perform

for his love, not not because you did

anything to make yourself qualified for

his love. He loves you because you're

his.

In fact, he showed his love for you on

the cross.

If the value of something is defined by

how much someone is willing to pay for

the thing, then we need to definitely

redefine our value. Because according to

God, you're worth more to him than he is

to

himself. If he's willing to give his

life, by the way, God was in Christ

reconciling the world to himself by not

imputing their trespasses to them. In

other words, the father and the spirit

were in the son on the

cross, not separate

from that God was in Christ, that God,

the trinity gave his life, gave their

life, that if that if that is a

definition of your

value, then you need to rethink your

value. that according to God, not my not

Matt Lans's opinion, but God's opinion

is that you are more

valuable than even God is to

himself. And he showed you that not on

your best

day, but on your worst

day. On the day that mankind murdered

its creator, the creator went down as a

man, defeated

death as a man in the flesh, rose back

from the dead, offered only

forgiveness, and a way home to the

father. You murder me, I make a room for

you in my house. You murder me, I want

you as close to me as possible. I want

you in me. I want to covenant my life to

you on the day that you murder

me. Not on your best day, but on your

absolute worst. In other words, God is

saying this. There is nothing you can

do, not nor power, nor principality, nor

anything in this earth or anything

beyond this earth. There is not one

single thing that can ever what ever

separate you from the love of

God. That you are loved and it's not

your fault. and that your father is with

you on your good and your bad

days. On your good and your bad days.

Listen to this in Matthew 16 and then

we're going to

pray. You guys all

right? Matthew

16 in verse 13. When Jesus came into the

region of Cesaria Philippi, he asked his

disciples saying, "Who do men say that

I, the son of man, am?" So they said,

"Some say John the Baptist, some Elijah,

others Jeremiah, one of the prophets."

And he said to them, "But what do you

sorry, but who do you say that I am?"

And Simon Peter answered and said, "You

are the Christ, the Son of the living

God." And Jesus said something amazing.

Listen to what? Listen to this. Jesus

answered and said to him, "Blessed are

you, Simon Barjonah, for flesh and blood

has not revealed this to you, but my

father who is in heaven.

And I also say to you that you are Peter

stone and on this rock. And now if he

was speaking in Hebrew he would have

said on this

rock I will build my church and the

gates of Hades shall not prevail against

it. And I will give you the keys of the

kingdom of heaven and whatever you bind

on earth will have been bound in heaven.

Whatever you loose on earth will have

been loosed in heaven.

that literally Simon Barjonah saw Jesus

and in the son he saw the father but

then in the father he saw the son but

then in the son he saw the father but

then in the father he saw the son and

when Jesus said who do you say that I am

he said you're the son of the living God

and Jesus said flesh and blood has not

revealed this to you and not even me my

father in heaven revealed this to you if

you've seen me you've seen the father

that my father and I we are one. And in

that moment, Simon Barjonah saw that he

beheld his glory as in a mirror and was

transformed into the same image to the

degree that Jesus Christ said, "You are

no longer Simon. You are now rock. You

are now stone and upon this rock. You

are now aban and upon this oven I will

build my church. You are now father son

and upon this father son revelation that

you've just received from the father

through the son I will build my church."

That this is the foundation of the whole

church. Sunship is the foundation of the

whole

church that you are meant to know the

father as a

son. And there's this thing happening

right now in the church where we we have

an opportunity to let go

of and to be fear.

There's a lot of churches in the world,

a lot of

um even church movements that have been

built on Saul's

armor. And there's no condemnation. It

just is what it is. But there's an

opportunity in this moment right now to

repent from Saul's armor, to take off

Saul's armor, and to allow room for

David to rise

up. To allow room for David to rise up.

And what we're going to start to see

happen is is a an incredible prayer and

worship movement that will in turn give

birth to a missions movement out of New

Zealand. We're going to start to see

churches embrace a depth of prayer and

worship as individuals and as as

communities to create space to dig a

well in the spirit to create space just

like David did in the wilderness to play

the harp and to seek the face of God.

We're going to start to see that and

that's going to turn into a missions

movement where giants are going to fall.

That there are things that have been

oppressing the human race that have been

oppressing the planet that we've almost

got to the point of just saying too hard

basket. We just don't don't even want to

think about that anymore. It's too hard

basket. I mean, there's the whole LGBTQ

agenda. There's all these things that

are just like, whoa, this is just like

way out there. This is way bigger than

us.

But it's time to start actually

realizing, hey, like God's preparing

some champions to step on the field for

those things. And they're not going to

defeat those things in their strength.

They're literally just going to walk out

and the father will walk out with them.

And the father will do the work. The

father will do the work. There's giants

in your life and the father wants to do

the work. God wants to God wants to do

some stuff in your lives in this room

right now where he wants to show you how

to take down the lion and the bear in

your life.

where he wants to raise you up as David.

But he wants to encourage you. I believe

there's a moment right now where he's

saying, "Let go of those things that you

have become accustomed to. Let go of

those things that you have leared to

trust in that

aren't

me. Maybe your money, maybe your

ability, maybe your external

qualification, maybe uh your gifting,

whatever it might be. And just embrace

this. Just embrace you're a son. Just

embrace you're a daughter. And just let

that be

enough. Let that be enough. People

always say to me like, um, I've had

people say to me, um, oh, you're you're

like you're a you're a prophet, you're

an apostle, you're a pastor. No, they

don't normally say pastor, actually.

They say

um teacher. They say all the other

ones. And um and I honor that. And I

love the five-fold. I I have a massive I

have a massive place for the five-fold

and and I and I'm like cool. Thank you

that for receiving me in that way.

That's awesome. Thank you. But if you

ask me, if you ask me who am

I, I I will never tell you I'm an

apostle, a prophet, a blah blah blah. I

I will tell you I'm a son with a good

father. That's the title that God gave

me. I am a son.

Only sons reveal the father. Only sons

reveal the father. What the world needs

is the world needs a father. The world

needs a father. The world needs to know

where they belong. The world is lost.

The world is one massive orphanage

looking for a

father. Only sons and daughters can

reveal the father. Only sons, there's

only one way back to the father through

the son.

And when you see the son and you receive

the father, there's something happens

where you come into a place of belonging

in him. And in that place, you now can

lead other people to that

place. Sunship is the way to the

father. And when you when you receive

that spirit of adoption that cries out,

aba father, when that comes out of your

bones, then you can say, I've found

something. Come with me.

come to this place. You don't need to

fit in anymore because you can belong.

You don't need to work for love. You can

work from love. You don't need to you

don't need to strive for significance.

You can live from the fact that you're

already

significant because you're a

son. Can we get the band

up? The awesome

band. The awesome band.

Well, hopefully some of that made sense

to you. I just want to encourage

you. It's a super simple

message. But the kingdom is super

simple. So, it should be a super simple

message. It's not

complicated. Saul's arm is

complicated. David's sling is super

simple.

super

simple that you just get to be a little

boy, little girl with a big

papa. This week, you're going to be

you're going to be confronted with

situations that feel beyond

you and that feel overwhelming. My

encouragement to you is when you feel

overwhelmed this

week, go and get overwhelmed by the

father. And when you can position

yourself to be a person who's

overwhelmed by the father, those things

won't overwhelm you anymore. Some of you

with anxiety, with sleep problems, with

different um things going on in your

mind that feel that feel impossible to

get through. I just want to encourage

you to spend some time, not just one

day, but to get consistent with spending

time with the Lord and let God teach you

how to be overwhelmed by him.

Let God put in you a heart of worship.

And sometimes when you're in that place

of worship, sometimes when you're in

that place of vulnerability before the

Lord, the pain comes

up. The pain from the past comes up in

your heart. And it can feel like, "Oh, I

don't know if I want to continue

worshiping and digging into this place

of freedom and God because I can feel

him confronting the pain and I don't

want to go there yet." But my

encouragement to you this week is that

just go there.

Just go there before the face of God and

trust the Lord with the pain in your

heart and let him heal you. Let him

overwhelm you in that space of pain so

that you become free. The Bible says

that you will know the truth and the

truth will set you free. You will know

the truth. You will experience the truth

and the truth will set you free. What's

the

truth? Well, the truth is Jesus

Christ. But this is the truth. The truth

is in essence what's really the message

of Jesus is this. The truth is that you

are

loved and you are not

alone. That's the

truth. Some of you in this room, you

feel totally alone. The truth is you're

not alone. That's the

truth. I don't want you to know about

the truth. I want you to know the truth.

I want you to have the experience of the

truth. And that's what the father wants

for you.

So just close your eyes right

now.

Wow. Holy

Spirit. Holy

Spirit. I just

had

this this impression of God just taking

weight off of

people. There's so many people in this

room and you're carrying so much

pressure that you don't need to

carry. You don't need to carry that

pressure. And in this room this morning,

there's

freedom. Freedom. You don't need to

perform. You can just be free.

you can just be

you. In a moment, I'm going to ask

um for you to stand up and we're going

to go into a song and I'm going to

invite you to come

forward. Those people that just are

like, man, I just want to receive a

revelation of the sunship. I just want

to receive a revelation of the father. I

want to I want to I want to know my

place of belonging. I want to know the

the seat at the father's table that he

prepared for me. I want to take my seat

there. I want to know where I belong. I

want to

experience my belonging in the love of

the father. I want to experience my

sunship. I don't want to just know about

my sunship. I want to know

it. I want to know it, God. I want to

know. I want the revelation that Simon

Barjonah had that turned him into

Peter. I want that. I'm going to ask you

to come forward in a moment and I just

want to pray for

you and I could tell you exactly where I

received this what I'm talking about

tonight where I received Aban where I

had my encounter. It was in

2015 on a mountain on an old par site in

Fare and I had an encounter with God

where he introduced me to my

sunship. And you know when you receive

something, it's never just for you. When

you receive something, it's so that you

can pass it on. Whatever you've

received, you can

give. And whatever has been given, you

can

receive. And there's something that I

received that the father gave

me that is being

given and has been is available in this

room and there's a moment where you can

actually receive

it. Where you can receive

it and that's how the kingdom

works. That's how the kingdom

works. I just want you to just think in

this moment right now. I just want you

to

think what are you relying

on? What are you trusting

in? What are maybe your excuses? You're

not I'm not

enoughs. What are you waiting on that's

not the Lord? Maybe you're waiting on

your finances to turn around. Maybe

you're waiting on a job opportunity.

Maybe you're waiting on someone to

invite you somewhere or something

someone to recognize something in you.

that hasn't been recognized

yet. Maybe you're feeling unseen by the

people around you. But I just want to

let you know you're seen by

God. You're seen by

God. And let him be the one that

qualifies you. I just want I just want

you to be aware of those things that

you're trusting in that aren't

him. Those things that maybe are causing

anxiety in your life.

There's this verse in uh I think it's

Jonah and it says this um those that

cling to worthless idols forsake their

own

blessing. And there's just some Saul's

armor is an

idol. And there's just a moment today

where you can actually choose to let go

of

that and to say, God, I'm I'm repenting.

I'm turning away from the things that

I've trusted and cling to that aren't

you. And I just want to be free from it

all. and I want you to show me who I am.

I want this revelation that you're my

father and I'm your little son, your

little daughter. I want to walk like I

want to walk in this way. I don't want

to walk like Saul walked. I want to walk

in this

way. I want to walk as a son. I want to

I don't want this to be a Sunday thing.

I want to walk as a son every day. I

want to walk as a son with my family,

with my wife, with my kids. I want to

walk as a son in the supermarket. I want

to walk as a son in my business. I want

to walk as a son when I go do my

building job tomorrow. I want to walk as

a son. I want to walk as a son in when I

dream. I want to walk as a son in my I

want to walk as a son in all of my life,

God. And I and I want you, father, to

leave me. I don't want to walk as a son

in my own strength. I want you to lead

me. And what I see happening today is I

see the Holy Spirit coming and just

taking you by the hand and he's saying,

"I'm going to show you your place. I'm

going to show you where you belong in

the spirit in

him. I'm going to show you where you

belong in the love of the father. And

that you don't have to find your own way

there, but literally the Holy Spirit

just wants to come and lead you there.

And so, if that's

you, I just want to ask you just to

stand up right

now. Some of you, some of you are are

going to stand up because you're like,

man, you know, I don't even I don't even

know if I if I'm a Christian. and I

don't even know if I'm following

Jesus. And for you, this is just an

opportunity for you to say, "Yeah, I

want to say yes to Jesus. I want to say

yes to this." That's you to stand up.

There's others here that you're like,

"Man, I've been walking with Jesus a

long time, but you know, I I want this

revelation to to go deep in me. I just

want you to stand up. Just stand on

up. Stand on up. Thank you,

Jesus. Thank you, Jesus.

Thank you,

Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. You know,

there's something about that a of in the

Kiwi culture there, this is not a

rebuke, by the way, just to preface what

I'm about to say. There's something in

that Kiwi culture that sometimes like,

hey, it's like an independent spirit

that says, "Don't tell me what to do. I

just want to do my own business with God

in my own time." You know, and that's

actually like a demonic spirit to

disagree with. by the way that sometimes

when there's an opportunity like this,

it's like you actually have to humble

yourself and cooperate with the

opportunity that there's something

available if you'll receive it. And so

just if you want to stand up, just stand

on up

now. Thank you, Jesus. Some of you with

that pressure on your shoulders, it's

time to stand up and let the pressure

go. If you're feeling pressure in your

life, if you're feeling the anxiety, if

you're feeling that that fact that man,

I'm overwhelmed by stuff that isn't God,

then that's evidence that you probably

need to receive this this

morning. You probably need to receive

this this morning. I I feel like I

repent from from Saul's armor about once

a

week. I have to remember my sunship at

least once a

week. Thank you, Jesus. In a moment,

we're going to go into a

song. But if you're standing up right

now, what I'm going to ask you to do

when we go into this song, I'm going to

ask you to come to the front and I want

to just lay hands on you. We're going to

all sing together. We're just going to

have some

time just honoring the Lord and um and I

want to pray for

you. Also, if you just are here and

you're just like, man, I just want to I

just want to receive something fresh. I

need some breakthrough in my life. then

you can just come up as well. But if

you're standing up in a moment, I'm

going to ask you to come. Um, but right

now I want to ask every single person to

stand

up. Every single person. Thank you,

Lord. Thank you, Lord. If you stood

up in response, I'm going to ask you

right now just to come to the

front. Just to come right up to the

front. Right up to the

front. Right up to the front. Thank you,

Jesus. Thank you,

Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. And while

you're up here, what I'm going to ask

you to do, and even if you're not up

here, if you're just in your seat, I'm

just going to ask you

to open your

heart and to

receive. You don't have to achieve. You

don't have to strive for this. You don't

have to try and make anything

happen. I just want to ask you to open

your heart and

receive. And you don't need to wait for

me to come lay hands on you. you can

just receive as we're singing. As we're

worshiping, as we're creating space for

God to move, as we're making a space for

God to touch us, this is not about a

person really laying hands on you,

although that will happen. This is about

you having a space where you can

actually just face to face with the

father. You can say, "Holy Spirit, come

and take my heart. Come and take my hand

and show me that place that Matt was

talking about. Show me that place of

belonging." This is actually a space

where you can just do some business with

your father

yourself. Some of you might want to just

uh if your legs get tired, you might

want to just go on your knees or you can

even sit down. You can make yourself

comfortable. It doesn't have to look

like

something. But you can just create space

right now to actually have some time

with your father and let him love on

you. Let him reveal himself to you in a

fresh way. Let him reveal himself to you

in a fresh

way. So, I'm going to pray and then

we're going to go into the

song.

Father, I thank you,

God. Right now in this room, we just

repent. We turn away from those things

that we've leared to trust in that

aren't you.

We turn away from the excuses and the

fears and the insecurities that the

enemy's tried to place on

us. We we just we just intentionally

turn away from those

things. And we turn to you, God, and we

choose in this moment right now to trust

your

love and to trust the fact that you've

chosen

us. And we choose to lean back into this

revelation to lean back

into

this truth of Aban God. This truth that

you're a good father and you've chosen

us to be your sons and

daughters. That is who we are. It's who

you made us to be. And there's nothing

we can do about that. It's not our

fault. It's not our doing. It's your

creating.

And so I just speak over this room that

spirit of

adoption. I speak that spirit of

sunship. Holy Spirit, I ask you to

release it in people's hearts right now.

Holy Spirit, I ask you to put light in

people's hearts. I speak to all the

weight of responsibility, all the weight

that is sought to overwhelm in a

negative way. And I just speak to that

weight and say come off in Jesus name.

come off in the name of

Jesus. I speak a lightness and a freedom

over you. I just I just see Jesus. He's

saying to you, "Follow me. Follow me.

Follow me and I'll show you the Father.

Follow me and I'll show you the Father."

And you're saying, "I've been following

you a long time." And Jesus is like,

"Yeah, just follow me now to the Father.

Follow me now to the Father. Follow me

now to the Father." I just see him

coming up to you and just taking you by

your hand and saying, "Follow me.

follow me. He wants to show you the

Father. God, I pray that you would show

you would show them your glory, God.

That you would show them your glory.

You'd show in this moment right now.

Someone with pain in their lower back

has been healed right

now. Thank you,

Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you,

Jesus. Okay, we're going to go into a

song. I'm going to put this microphone

down. I'm going to come around and lay

hands on you. I'm just going to pray for

you real quick. But I want you to

receive and take this

moment to just let the father show you

his love.
