You're listening to the Cross Kingdoms Sermon of the Week. We hope you enjoyed
-
this message from Justin Carpenter. Are you in the bathroom? Mark loose?
-
Bad jokes? Sorry, y'all, that was bad. That was bad.
-
Hey, I have to do one bad joke every once in a while,
-
just to make sure y'all know it's still me. Okay, we might uh
-
we might switch some things up here. Let's see at tell you what if
-
you can, if you can put that first slide for me. Hey,
-
there we go. Before we move forward, I just wanted to do a
-
short recap because I think it's super important to review what God's done, what
-
He's doing, and what where we're headed. And uh, this is a
-
little chart. In March thirtieth to April first, we had the Tabernacle Symposium
-
and the b Vision was released about cross pollination and that was one of my
-
best bloopers yet trying to share that vision and it's got over two thousand views
-
on Facebook. And uh, yeah, I'm famous for putting my foot in
-
my mouth. There's Piper, thank you for that clap back there. April
-
fourth was the donation for the land, which was a huge Tuesday. And
-
just for those of you that are visiting, A couple of years ago,
-
I had this dream, and it was a really short dream. I was
-
in my car and I look over and my son Micah pops up in the
-
driver's window like a baby, and he starts singing this little song. It's
-
Tuesday. It's Tuesday. Something's about to change. It's Tuesday. It's Tuesday.
-
Something's about to change. And that was the whole dream. And I
-
woke up and it was obviously Tuesday, and I was like, well,
-
that's interesting. And all of a sudden, this theme of breakthrough moments throughout
-
the year have happened on Tuesdays. See it says God will speak in one
-
way or another. Man doesn't perceive it in a dream or a vision of
-
the night. While you slumber on your bed. He instills instruction into you,
-
and it doesn't for all you revelatory. You have to understand something.
-
It does not have to be a super long word for someone's life to be
-
changed. It simply has to be His words coming through your mouth. I'd
-
rather have one sentence from the Lord that I know is from him than to
-
give three pages of Thus saith the Lord and it's a bunch of garbage because
-
no matter how good it sounds, it's not going to bring transformation and have
-
an eternal impact. So April nineteenth we closed on the land. In July
-
and August we went into leadership restructuring, which was just lots of fun,
-
and we brought on Alex for the Kingdom Kids program. We brought on Anthony
-
as Ministry project coordinator, which has been both of them have been amazing for
-
those of you that were stuffed in here with two hundred and eighty people for
-
the play. Amazing job on the on the Christmas play November we actually installed
-
some elders and then today we're almost done with the three D plan of Phase
-
one. In Phase two which hopefully in the next couple of weeks depending hopefully
-
in a couple of weeks we'll have the three D plans completed and then it'll
-
go into engineering for the buildings and everything. So the goal is to break
-
ground this spring. If if you can, if you can go to the
-
if you can, go to the next slide. This was a site plan
-
that we had done with the architect and this this actually shows the first two
-
phases with parking lots and this is right here on twenty five acres. Later
-
on, we have an arts center, we have transitional housing in the back.
-
We have a prayer garden up top here on the top of the hill
-
in the corner. And those are just some of the things that we are
-
leaning towards and dreaming about and moving into. If you can switch, so
-
this is phase one, and this would be fifty two hundred square feet within
-
the actual sanctuary. To give you an idea, this area right here is
-
I think eighteen hundred square feet where the seats are, and so it's roughly
-
two and a half times the size of this meeting area, so we'll be
-
able to see about four hundred and fifty people. But what's nice about this
-
is once we move from this building to phase two, this actually becomes the
-
kids church and fellowship Hall. And if you would move to the next one
-
for me real quick, So this is kid's Children's building. You'll come in,
-
you'll have all the different rooms for like nursery three to fives. And
-
then guess what this is the children's church where they will meet with a stage
-
and storage very similar to this, and that meeting area is roughly about this
-
size if I can remember correctly, and so all imagine this space strictly for
-
the kids, so that'll be awesome. And then if you would go to
-
the last one for me, and then this is the phase two long term
-
sanctuary that's about twenty two five hundred square feet at the moment, and this
-
will this will seat somewhere around I think seven fifty if I can remember correctly
-
to eight hundred, and has the capacity for expansion later on. You have
-
offices and classrooms on the sides, and there'll be a courtyard there. Hopefully
-
for those of you that have a difficult time visualizing the floor plans kind of
-
help you a little bit more to see what's going on and to actually see
-
that as you sew into the building fund, that you're not sowing into a
-
pie in the sky, like this is happenings and this is what we're running
-
to and it's not. The Lord said in the beginning to me, you
-
build the people, I'll build the church, meaning the building. And so
-
my focus is to build people up, because that's the whole reason why that's
-
happening. If you're not building people, if you're not releasing destiny, then
-
you can have a zillion buildings and they just sit empty and they look like
-
monuments. So I believe that's the last one. Yeah, and so we
-
are. We are currently at just y'all know, the building fund is currently
-
at six hundred and six thousand, one and forty two dollars. Y'all we
-
what what the Lord's done this year has has absolutely been amazing. It's been
-
one of the most bittersweet years for me and I think for many people.
-
I've talked to leaders across the across the country, and all of them leaders
-
have been attacked and under warfare like they've not seen in a long time.
-
It's you can you can get discouraged, and you can harden up, and
-
you can give up and believe the lie that somehow that there's no point in
-
all of this, or you can recognize that the enemy only attacks what he
-
fears. And if the enemy is attacking you right now in ways that you've
-
not been attacked before, guess what be encouraged? I do. I do
-
remember this one scripture It says give thanks to all things. Do y'all remember
-
that scripture? Wow, y'all, are do we need to pull the coffee
-
pots back out in the back or what people. Okay, So here's my
-
other little theme for this year, declaring war in twenty four. Declaring war
-
in twenty four. And we're declaring war on doubt and unbelief. We're declaring
-
war on everything that's gonna hold you back from actually stepping into what you were
-
created for. Listen, this is not a time to sit back and drink
-
hot chocolate and eat marshmallows. This is a time to recognize that the shakings
-
are increasing, the birth pains are getting closer together. Are you all with
-
me? So for you moms that have given birth to children, what happened?
-
Yeah, it hurt. I mean you have like, yeah, Daisy's
-
got like fifteen kids. So she's got this thing down totally right. I
-
came in and she had a kid here, a kid here, and I'm
-
like, look, you need like two more on your shoulders. She goes,
-
oh, they're back there. She came in one day with a wagon
-
and I'm like, Brah, we're just gonna pray, We're gonna intercede in
-
tongues over them right now, bless them. But no, I you know
-
what's interesting. I've said for a very long time that I always thought rejection
-
and control were your kingpins. Because the moment you feel rejection, you go
-
into rebellion to protect your heart, and controls there to give you a false
-
sense of security. And if you don't deal with control, then rebellion and
-
rejection never get addressed. But I want to say something. I think the
-
deepest route out of all of that is unbelief. See the moment the enemy
-
comes to you and you begin to doubt, the moment he gets you to
-
doubt who God is, you're in trouble, did God say? And his
-
accusations have not changed, y'all? And his strategy does not change. In
-
case you haven't figured this one out, when Jesus said that we were sheep,
-
that wasn't always a compliment. We need a shepherd to protect us,
-
to keep us from going off track. Roman says, the gifts and callings
-
are irrevocable. Another way of saying that is God factored your stupidity into your
-
destiny. So no matter what you've done, no matter how no matter how
-
bad you think you've messed this thing up, God has not changed his mind
-
about you. God has not changed his mind about what he wants to do
-
through you. Y'all understand something. The Disciples, they came back and they
-
wanted to call fire down from heaven. All right, let me break this
-
down. It'd be like Wayne coming up to me and pulling out his you
-
know, he's packing. I don't know if you're packing, but all of
-
a sudden he pulls his gun out, justin do you want me to shoot
-
him? No? Wayne, we don't want to kill anybody here. Put
-
it back. But it's literally that real. When they said, hey,
-
do you want us to call fire down from heaven? They were not pretending.
-
They were like, Lord, do you want us to kill him with
-
the fire of God? And they're looking for Jesus's approval in that moment,
-
like, yeah, I'm so proud of these boys. Oh look at my
-
son's They want to call fire down from heaven. This is amazing, Just
-
like Papa. No that he goes. You don't know what spiritu're of.
-
See, we always read through scripture. We read about the wrath of God,
-
which is real and you can never mind I'll get a rabbit trailed.
-
But but do you understand the amount of rebellion and years and decades of rebellion
-
and evil that those people pursued stiff arming a loving father all the way to
-
that point. See, we read when God Brings his Wrath. We read
-
a chapter and it's like, we don't realize it was hundreds of years.
-
God knew Israel was going to go into captivity for four hundred years, and
-
he said, because the iniquity of the Amalekites is not yet full. If
-
you don't understand that God is sovereign in the moments of shaking, you will
-
have more faith in the enemy's hand to destroy your life than God's ability to
-
sovereignly protect you. I found myself. We shut the offices down this week
-
to give all the staff a break and rest and recover and hopefully spend time
-
with their families and pray. And I just had been kind of revisiting the
-
year, looking over the year, and and doing some prayer ministry on myself
-
over a couple of things, and I got face to face with unbelief like
-
I had not been in a very long time. And I recognized in that
-
moment that it was from all of the difficulties that I went through over the
-
last fifteen months or so that doubt began to come in. And I didn't
-
recognize it for what it was, and doubt grew up into unbelief and a
-
part of my life. Y'all. The scripture's clear. It says the things
-
I do, you'll do and greater because I go to the Father. These
-
signs will follow after those who believe. When we're not living a life like
-
Jesus lived, it's not because God changed his mind about his gifts, his
-
plan. Jesus was in his hometown and he marveled at their unbelief. They
-
were offended with him. They were offended with him, and he couldn't do
-
any miracles in his own town, it says, except for he laid his
-
hands on a few sick that was it. See, we better get very
-
acquainted with the ways of God. James won six to eight. But let
-
him ask in faith with no doubting. For the one who doubts is like
-
a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind. For
-
that person must not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord. He
-
is a double minded man, unstable in all of his ways. Double Mindedness
-
literally means to be two sold It's to think two different ways, to feel
-
two different ways, and want to act in two different ways, and double
-
mindedness comes in because we begin to partner with the enemy's accusations against God's goodness,
-
against his nature. You ever notice when things don't work out the way
-
we believe they're supposed to, that we ultimately end up blaming God. The
-
enemy comes in, he steals in your life, destroys, and then gets
-
you to actually blame God in the end. And how do you blame God?
-
Why did you let this happen? Because we have a very difficult time
-
understanding that there are things that happen that God has nothing to do with.
-
Now. I may have just jacked with your theology a little bit, but
-
God is not the author of sin. So when we see the consequences of
-
sin, and we see people choosing sin, their sin doesn't just affect them,
-
It affects everyone around them. You understand right now, every one of
-
you, you're not just fighting for yourself. You're literally fighting for your bloodline.
-
I don't know how many times I've given prophetic words over the years where
-
the Lord clearly showed me that he had put his hand on an individual to
-
change that bloodline. Every yes, you say yes to the Lord on every
-
act of righteousness that you choose is laying a pathway, is creating a legacy
-
for your bloodline. Every stronghold that you allow the Lord to pull down is
-
something that does not get to stay in the bloodline. Wouldn't it be great
-
of your children's children didn't have to deal with all the strongholds that you've had
-
to deal with. Listen, this is God's heart. He's wanting you to
-
partner for a godly offspring. It says in the word that He's wanting a
-
godly offspring. Who wasn't earlier that said that the angels were called sons of
-
God? Do you understand there's this huge peace, y'all, Paul says,
-
Do you not understand that you're going to judge angels, that you're going to
-
rule and reign with Christ. Do you understand that when we pass through this
-
life and we get into the next life, part of the inheritance is we
-
will join the Divine Council with ruling and reigning. Are you with me?
-
Do you understand what the divine council is? Paul made it very clear.
-
Your principalities, your powers, your rulers, your dominions, your thrones.
-
He made it very clear about this. There is a part of your inheritance,
-
your legacy, that's going to be released in the life to come.
-
And you are ruling and reigning right now, you are practicing. And if
-
you don't think that your stewardship of what the Lord has given to you right
-
now in this moment does not affect you for eternity, you're deceived, right,
-
that's right, Mark eleven twenty three. Truly, I say to you,
-
whoever says to this mountain be taken up and thrown into the sea,
-
and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will
-
come to pass, it will be done for him. Y'all, how much
-
of your life was spent living in the impossible in the last year, and
-
you actually saw the impossible bow its knee to the name of Jesus. Because
-
it is our inheritance, it is our life, it's what we are called
-
to do. We are called to abide in a life of the impossible because
-
we are marked by our creator. We have been given a new spirit.
-
We're a new creation. The old is gone. Behold, all things are
-
becoming new. We are a new creation. You are light. You have
-
authority over the enemy, and you have power over his power, and the
-
only thing that's stopping us is unbelief. It's unbelief that God is really this
-
good, that he has really changed us, because we look in the mirror
-
and we look with natural eyes, and we listen with the natural ear,
-
and we get demoralized by the accuser of the brethren. The disciples couldn't cast
-
the spirit of epilepsy out of the boy. What changed. They're already given
-
authority, and they're already given a power over the enemy and over all sickness
-
and disease. What changed? They come off to the Lord because Jesus shows
-
up and he boom comes out with a word. Why Jesus didn't say,
-
hey, look, you're a pretty powerful demon and ten days I'll be back.
-
I'm gonna go fast and pray and then I'll come back to you know,
-
He said, your unbelief, y'all. Unbelief is like kryptonite. It's
-
absolutely like kryptonite. Unbelief is what kept Israel out of the Promised Land.
-
Unbelief is what kept them out. It was nothing else. It was their
-
unbelief. Whatever wilderness period you're in right now, it was designed as long
-
as you didn't go in by rebellion. When you find yourself in a wilderness
-
period, it's for your benefit. Your character is built in the wilderness.
-
Your character is built in the valley. Your character does and get built in
-
the on the mountaintops. Those are those moments that we wish would last forever.
-
Oh it's so nice up here, and all of a sudden, that
-
fast, you feel like somebody kicked you off the mountain? Lord, what
-
happened through many tribulations? Will you enter into the kingdom? Why do we
-
always see feel like this is some like like, wait a minute, why
-
is this happening? Why am what? Lord? Why am I being tested?
-
Why am I struggling? Why am I being attacked? In this life?
-
You'll have trouble in this life. You'll have trouble to take card of
-
overcome. We need to declare this year like Joel's army. We need to
-
declare war on doubt and unbelief. We need to declare war and claim the
-
promises over our lives. It says of God before you, who can be
-
against you? How about this? If God is for you, who cares
-
who's against you? Because if you're in God's will and you're moving forward with
-
what he's called you to do. The gates of hell cannot prevail. We
-
all get offended in life right at times. Let's be honest, we get
-
offended. You're offended and he's offended. You're offended, and I'm offended,
-
and he took on my offense, and we're all offended. But we get
-
offended in life. Let me tell you something. You want a measurement of
-
your maturity. What does it take to what's it take to offend you?
-
Do you offend easily? Then you're immature. You get offended because you think
-
you have rights. You get offended because you have a reputation to uphold,
-
and how dare someone attack your reputation. There's just one massive problem with that
-
whole thing. Jesus showed up and made himself of no reputation, so he
-
doesn't care about your reputation. He actually wants to kill it, because if
-
you try to carry a reputation, it will kill you if you don't get
-
rid of it. Listen, hey, you know the one good thing about
-
teaching, asked my wife, I don't get away with anything. I'm on
-
a choker chain from the Lord I mean this and everything I teach, I
-
promise you I get to get tested on it. So don't think I just
-
throw all these you know, hard words up here, because I know what's
-
coming. I know that I'm gonna be tested on everything that I teach.
-
Yeah, oh, y'all. Luke one eighteen to twenty. Zachariah said to
-
the Angel, how shall I know this? For I'm an old man and
-
my wife has advanced in years. And the Angel answered him, I am
-
Gabriel. I stand in the presence of God, and I was sent to
-
speak to you and to bring you this good news. And beholds you will
-
be silent and unable to speak until the day that these things take place because
-
you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their time.
-
Don't let unbelief steal your voice. Thankfully, God's gracious enough that he'll muture,
-
but before it gets too bad. It says that it says this about
-
Daniel and Jesus. It says that they increased in stature and favor with God
-
and men, y'all, favor with man comes from God. It says the
-
heart of the King is in the hand of the Lord, and he turns
-
in any direction he wants. He kept Ammelech or Ambelech from saint him,
-
He kept him from sinning. Self promotion will lead to witchcraft. God doesn't
-
need your help opening doors. This is the year of the door, right,
-
so this Hebrew calendar wise, So it's any door he opens, no
-
man can shut. Any door he shuts, no man can open it.
-
Correct if he can take Amos, who is a shepherd in the middle of
-
nowhere, when no satellites, no cell phones, no social media, and
-
say, hey, you're a prophet now and all of a sudden he's written
-
in the Bible. Do you not understand he knows where you are? And
-
if you'll allow him to open doors with his favor, then you don't have
-
to question whether or not what you're doing is actually from him, because it's
-
gonna be so painfully obvious that he did it and you didn't that there won't
-
be any room for doubt. But whatever you start in the soul, you
-
will have to maintain in the soul, and you will absolutely burn out in
-
the soul, and your strength of your soul, and the fruit of that
-
is you will be afraid of everyone that comes around you with anointing, because
-
you will be living life an orphan instead of a son. You will be
-
wanting to protect your empire. Oh oh, oh, don't do that.
-
Anthony. When he gets excited, he does this like a little kid.
-
And I'm just like, it's a next this time next year, everybody in
-
the congregation will be going hang in here just for about five more minutes,
-
and we're gonna shift gears, I think, and I'm gonna probably get weighing
-
back up here, and I'm gonna call on a few people and we're gonna
-
do some words of encouragement to bring in the new year. I had this
-
amazing, like ten page outline. I've had like three scriptures. It's okay.
-
Romans from twenty to twenty one. No unbelief made him waver concerning the
-
promise of God, but he grew strong in his faith as he gave glory
-
to God. Do you want to grow strong in your faith and you better
-
give God glory? Fully convinced that God was able to do what he had
-
promised. See Abraham's response versus Zachariah were two different things. He's like,
-
look, I'm old, and they didn't have all the you know medical advancements
-
and everything to do stuff. He was like, my body's good as dead.
-
But no unbelief made him waver. For who were those who heard and
-
yet rebelled? Was it not all those who left Egypt led by Moses,
-
and with whom was he provoked for forty years? Was it not those who
-
sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness, and to whom did he swear
-
that they would not enter his rest? But to those who were disobedient.
-
So we see that they were unable to enter because of unbelief. Y'all a
-
like, examine your hearts. Examine your hearts in this time because we're all
-
growing up. Every one of you are in process. We're all in process.
-
We're all in different stages of maturation in Jesus, and we all see
-
through a dim light. I'm not calling you a dim light, so don't
-
get offended, but we all see darkly. Right, we see in part,
-
we know in part. But when that which is perfect has come,
-
then that which is in part will be done away with. Guess what that's
-
Corinthians explain. That's Paul explaining. Our eternal state when we're in heaven will
-
be fully known as we're we'll fully see as we're fully known. I mean
-
switch the up a little bit, but that's Justin's paraphrase. So where are
-
you at? What have you told? What have you told God this year?
-
Maybe not audibly, but with your actions or a lack of actions,
-
that you don't really think he can do what he said he was going to
-
do. Maybe you've been more convinced that what the enemy has to offer is
-
better than what the Lord has, and therefore you've not repented. Because make
-
no mistake, if you have habitual sin in your life, willful sin,
-
then you're telling God that you believe the enemy's plan is better than his.
-
Come on, call sin, sin. We're very seeker friendly here. If
-
you allow the voice of doubt and unbelief to be your master, you're never
-
going to get rid of Ishmael. You'll never be able to embrace Isaac.
-
You'll always think Ishmael is better because Ishmael you have control over Isaac. You
-
have no control over Ishmael. You can manipulate, you can work your plan,
-
you can work your stuff. Isaac. You got to leave him on
-
the altar. He's not yours to touch because God doesn't share his glory with
-
man. I love Thomas. He gives us all hope. So the other
-
disciples told him we have seen the Lord. But he said to them,
-
unless I see in his hands the mark of the nails, and place my
-
finger into the mark of the nails, and place my hand into his side,
-
I will never believe. And what happened, we know Jesus had mercy
-
on him. He says, hey, come here, touch, touch the
-
holes, touch my side. Here, give me food. Watch this,
-
spirits, don't spirits, don't eat wayne, we come up Hebrews eleven eight.
-
By faith, Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to a
-
place that he was to receive as an inheritance, and he went out not
-
knowing where he was going. He went out not knowing where he was going.
-
So guess what if you don't have all the pieces of the puzzle of
-
your life in this moment? Great if Abraham went out and didn't have a
-
clue where he was going and it all worked out, It says, many
-
are the plans in a man's heart, but it's the Lord's will that prevails.
-
There's some folks here this morning that you've been stuck in neutral because you
-
actually fear God's going to punish you for making the wrong choice. Do you
-
understand when you seek God's face, you're only responsible for what he tells you.
-
You understand how that works. Right? So if you say, Lord,
-
where are we supposed to go? And he says move to Florida,
-
you can go anywhere in Florida and be in his will because he said go
-
to Florida. If you go, Lord, where do you want me to
-
go? And he says, go to Tampa, Florida, you can live
-
anywhere in Tampa, Florida and be obedient to that work. He's not going
-
to punish you for what he has not told you. That is a twisting
-
of the sovereignty of God, that all of a sudden, that's injustice.
-
If God judged you for a life you've not lived yet, that is called
-
injustice. If he punished you for an action you have not yet committed,
-
that would be injustice. I have a question if my son, he'll be
-
nineteen January nineteenth, if he was coming to me asking me what he could
-
eat for breakfast at eighteen years old, there'd be a problem, Right Dad?
-
What color socks should I wear this morning? I don't know what color
-
do you want to wear? Dad? What color shirt should I wear?
-
See a lot of times we get this hyper spiritualism to us to where we
-
every little Oh, I asked the Lord what clothes to put on this morning?
-
I asked the Lord? And it's this hyper spirituality, and we find
-
this false identity in being super super spiritual. Do you understand? I mean,
-
I'm sorry, y'all. I didn't ask the Lord what clothes to put
-
on this morning? And clearly Sean didn't with that pink hat, and so
-
just playing, just playing, Sean, you read what you so, so
-
I know that's coming back, pressed down, shaking together, overflowing in my
-
lap next week. But so many times there's a green light over us.
-
But we're listening to the voice of fear masquerading is the Holy Spirit. You'n
-
all want to have some fun. I love this part. I don't.
-
I don't get to do it a lot. But we're gonna We're gonna finish
-
up the last few minutes this way. Who's never gotten a word of knowledge
-
for healing for someone like You've never you've never heard the Lord say, you
-
know, give you a word of knowledge, and you pray for some when
-
they got healed. Don't be scared. You just don't want to come up
-
here? You here, come up here, Jesus said, my sheep,
-
hear my voice, the voice of a stranger. They won't follow. And
-
it says, who have you? If you ask for bread from your father,
-
are gonna get a rock or fish? And you get a serpent?
-
And if you, being evil, know how to give good gifts, how
-
much more does your heavenly father? Scripture actually says healing is the children's bread.
-
So you're ready, I'm gonna give you a crash course and the prophetic.
-
You're gonna see something, You're gonna hear something, you're gonna feel something.
-
You may even smell something, and it will be God. So just
-
say, Jesus, who do you want to talk to? Yeah, Jesus,
-
like Jesus, who do you want to talk to? Okay, m
-
mm hmm, what'd you get? What do you see? Bright light?
-
A bright light here? Lookout, look out and ask the lord to highlight?
-
Lord? Who do you want to heal? H mm hmmm, what's
-
that? Let let here pick up the miclvely mm hm, So is this
-
something? What's going on with Leslie? I don't know. When I looked
-
over there, there was a bright light around here, So you got something
-
going on. Well, at least it wasn't a dull light. It was
-
just really shiny over there. When I lived, it was really shiny over
-
there. Okay, So I ask the Lord what he wants to say to
-
Leslie? Hard work Leslie. By the way, if y'all are thinking this
-
is weird, the late John Paul Jackson he in the beginning when he used
-
to equit people, he would tell people only prophisey when he saw, when
-
you see the light of the Lord over the person. But he actually recognized
-
that not everybody saw right, not everybody seers, and so he adjusted that
-
training. So what that tells me, is you seeing the light of the
-
Lord over someone, is that you've been given the gift of a seer,
-
and so God highlighted her. So you say, Lord, what do you
-
want to say to her? When I asked that question, hold the mic
-
up more. When I asked that question, I heard that you were a
-
shiny star and that you help many of people. We appreciate you. Okay,
-
awesome, y'all give her hand. She's she's never done that before.
-
Yeah, yeah, Hey, Ben, did you have something? Word?
-
Ben? Go? You got you got a word? All right? Come
-
on Ben Ben Ben. During worship he came and said, uh. He
-
said, he's in the spirit. He saw prophecy over the house like a
-
whirlwind, and I was like, okay, well, Lord, we want
-
the whirlwind in here, not over us. How do we get in there?
-
Go ahead, Bud, Sir you over here had the sunglasses top of
-
your head. Yes, sir, what's your name? Eric? Eric?
-
Eric? So Eric. I saw a vision clearly of you, like in
-
a polo shirt, dressed all up, and I have this strong feeling that
-
it has to do with business. It transformed to you wearing a suit,
-
and I see promotion upon your life going into this new year. And I
-
hear the Lord very clearly telling me, don't lose your integrity in the process
-
and the honesty that you give to others. It's valued, sir. You
-
up here upstairs in the bluish shirt. The Lord's given you hands to build
-
is what keeps coming to me. And He's gonna use you to build in
-
your family's life. You're the head of your house and there's a gift with
-
your hands that I can't quite see that you haven't used in a while,
-
and I just encourage you step back into that this year. Hey what uh,
-
you got something going on with your back? I saw when you got
-
up. What's going on with your back? You got arthritis? Hey,
-
Paul, will put your hand on his back. So Father, right now,
-
in the name of Jesus, I thank you Father for the fire of
-
God. And I curse arthritis, and I commanded to uncoil your spine in
-
the name of Jesus Christ right now. Arthritis get out now in Jesus name,
-
out of his joints and off his spine right now in Jesus name.
-
All pain get out now in Jesus name. Check your back, how are
-
you so? Before we pray, let's say you're at a level ten pain.
-
Where you at right now probably a three? So thank you Jesus.
-
So hold on, stay up there with me. The Lord doesn't do half
-
healings. So Father, I thank you for complete healing right now, and
-
I command all arthritis to come out of his body right now in the name
-
of Jesus. And I even speak to trauma from accidents, and I command
-
the trauma to come out of his body now in Jesus Mighty name all pain,
-
get out now try to do something you couldn't do. So where are
-
you at? One to ten? Like one being total healed? Ten still
-
in pain? Still about a three. Paul, pray one more time,
-
buddy, and Lord, I just break off devouring, financial devouring, and
-
I break the fear of lack. And Lord, would you strengthen him to
-
go back again? Lords, he has made attempts like I see, like
-
business attempts where you were doing business and then it just didn't work out the
-
way you wanted it to. And and after going through those business attempts more
-
than one time, there's a part of you that just gave up, going
-
well, I guess this just isn't for me. And I hear the Lord
-
saying, no, son, it is for you. And just like the
-
disciples fishing all night, he said, he goes cast your net, but
-
go deeper. And there's an invitation in your life right now, in this
-
moment for the Lord to say, do it again, do it again,
-
but this time the favor of the Lord's going to be on you and the
-
wisdom of God to build wealth. It says, it's the it's the Lord
-
that gives you the power to build wealth. He's going to give you wisdom
-
to navigate those things that took you out in previous attempts. Does that make
-
sense? Bless you, buddy. So you've been stabbed in the back twice
-
by people that you were very close to, and I believe it had to
-
do with business. And so right now, in the name of Jesus,
-
I command the wounding of a friend to come out of your back right now,
-
and the pain go with it. In the name of Jesus. You
-
got anything else, go ahead. I think the whirlwinds dropped. So come
-
on now, I've never met this man before in my entire life. Course,
-
I do really feel better. Awesome, thank you. This is our
-
first time here. We've never been. Me and my family. We we
-
do really love the Lord. We study together, we learned together. Uh.
-
We have struggled to be a part of a church family that just we
-
hasn't fit yet. Okay, but okay. So I've owned two businesses.
-
Okay, I was a welder manufacturer and I lost Okay, and I had
-
a second one and uh I kind of got stabbed there too, and leave
-
that one alone. But uh, it has dropped, and and and in
-
that process, my rebermatory athritis was really acting up. And I haven't been
-
able to finish the last job that I was on because I hadn't been able
-
to walk up a ladder. And uh so I'm struggling with all that we
-
our family has been struggling financially, and a lady out of nowhere come up
-
and bought our kids Christmas this year. But you all hit the nail and
-
they had so well I had to. You got a touch, you got
-
a touch. I'm sorry, I just I don't I don't remember his first
-
name. But whenever, whenever we were turned around praying towards towards you,
-
the Lord said that you felt unworthy of the healing. And I just want
-
you to know it never ever has anything to do with our worthiness. It
-
has everything to do with his worthiness. So you've got it because of his
-
worthiness, not yours. In Jesus name, he said you had something else,
-
right, Come on, all right, thank you father. Where's your
-
name? Marvin? Marvin? There is a real creative side of you that
-
needs to come forth. It's almost like an and and music. M hm
-
hm. Yeah. You got so much talent into you that that the enemy
-
has been pushing so hard to destroy and to distract and to tear down,
-
but it's ready for it to come forth. And then there's people now in
-
your life that you have. They're going to help you that dreaming again,
-
that creativity that when spontaneous moments and words started flowing through your mind. And
-
it's been silent for a while, but it's going to start coming alive again.
-
Hey, the Lord hadn't spared your life for nothing. And Father,
-
I just thank you for taking the hand that's been on the right side of
-
his head constricting his thoughts. Lord, I thank you for the removal of
-
that tightness off of him right now in the name of Jesus. And I
-
just break word curses off of your life in the name of Jesus right now,
-
specifically from family members. And I just bless your spirit to rise up.
-
And I say that you are not the sum of your decisions in the
-
seasons past, but Jesus is your answer. There's an invitation on your life
-
right now to fully surrender it to Him, to fully surrender your life to
-
him. In fact, there's an invitation right now that you need to say
-
yes to that you've been offered and you have a You've had a very difficult
-
time trusting people in the past because of how many people have broken promises over
-
your life. But the Lord says, test me, he keeps his promises.
-
He keeps his promises. So, Father, I asked that you would
-
just bless him and the mighty name of Jesus, and I break heaviness off
-
of him right now. I break heaviness and depression off of him right now
-
in Jesus' name. I break the voice of the accusations of the accuser and
-
the name of Jesus right now, and I declare breakthrough into your life right
-
now in the name of Jesus, because he is the god to break through.
-
Holy Spirit. Would you just touch him mightily right now? Would you
-
bring a fresh baptism of your fire Lord and anointing. Lord, Would you
-
just burn out what he thought he could never get free of in this moment.
-
Lord, touch him, Lord, touch them, release your angels to
-
minister over him. Father, I ask, and I bless the writing gift
-
that you've placed inside of him, and I call that fourth. I call
-
the writer forth in the name of Jesus, and I break premature death off
-
of your bloodline. Right now in Jesus' name. Yeah, And I just
-
speak to the time in your life where you had to hide, that you
-
had to hide your talent, where you had to hide in your music,
-
where you had to hide those things for fear that you would be judged by
-
people that we're supposed to be fathering you. We just say, right now,
-
you are released to have a new father. You were released to trust
-
that new father, the Father in heaven. Just say this, same Father,
-
I receive you as my old Jesus healed by heart. I trust you,
-
and I surrender Cheam. I just see chains breaking off of your waist
-
and falling off of you, things that have held you down and held you
-
back, things that you've been chained to. I just saw chains falling off
-
for you. Hey, your head's a whole lot lighter now, isn't it.
-
Yeah. But I could see the light of the Lord coming off of
-
your head a couple of inches. So, Lord, I just bless his
-
spirit right now to awaken. And I speak to your spirit and I say,
-
wake up from slumber and be seen, be seen. Lord, heal
-
him, heal the broken spirit. Heal the broken spirit. Lord, right
-
now, would you cause your healing to run deep in him, say this,
-
Lord, I renounced the oaths, and I renounced the vows, and
-
I declare your lordship in Jesus' name, and then more on more. I
-
could do this all day. I love that. I'm like, yes,
-
listen, do you understand. Paul said that prophecy was for edification, exhortation,
-
and comfort, and it says one griding it is fourteen. All can
-
prophesy one by one. He says, above all these gifts, I'd rather
-
you prophesy because it builds up the body. Now more than ever, we
-
need people carrying the word of the Lord, not their ego, not their
-
own agendas, but the pure word of the Lord. And you have something
-
to kim. Yeah, uh, sir, you there in the right there
-
where Justin was praying. I kept and he said, to be seen.
-
You meanly were highlighted from the Lord and he sees you right now in this
-
moment. And I keep feeling the Father's love wanting to come upon you.
-
And I feel like you haven't had the You've had some ups and downs in
-
your relationship with your father, and a lot of what he was talking about
-
today resonated with you and it spoke to you, and I just want to
-
what's your name, yep, Cooper Cooper. I just want to pray over
-
you right now. And Lord, I ask that you would show your love
-
to Cooper right now, in this moment, that he would experience the father's
-
love right now. Father, I think you just that he would hear your
-
voice, that he would feel you in this moment, that the there's a
-
calling on his life, Lord, that you're ready for him to step into.
-
So I just thank you for his ears being open right now, for
-
his mind being open, for his eyes being open to see and hear,
-
Father, what you have for him. I thank you for healing coming to
-
his heart this year. I think you for blessing his finances and blessing his
-
family. Father, I thank you for completely transforming Cooper's life this year,
-
Father God in Jesus' name, Hey, uh, while he was talking to
-
you, Cooper, I saw you like a cowboy with a lasso and and
-
and I saw you like roping right like, So, my son worked at
-
a ranch this summer and he learned how to lasso and grab stuff. And
-
and you know, there's the way the Lord's wired you. You have this
-
ability to laser focus in on something. But the enemy has tripped you up
-
in certain areas and gotten you to laser focus in on the negative. And
-
what happens is your strength becomes your weaknesses when it when it's overemphasized. And
-
I just see God giving you the wisdom just like that cowboy with that lasso,
-
to literally grab a hold of what the Lord is saying, pulling that
-
in and holding on tight. You're You're not the sum of the word curses
-
over your life. You are not stupid. Hear me? And I break
-
the word curse of being stupid right now in the name of Jesus, and
-
I declare that you have the mind of Christ, that you have the wisdom
-
of God. In fact, there's there's education that you haven't even gone into
-
because you believe the lie. I has heard the Lord say, wait till
-
you see what I do with Cooper. Is that your wife girlfriend? Yeah,
-
I've learned one thing, prophetically, be careful in that arena so you
-
don't look dumb. What's your name? Skyla? Did did what was said
-
over him? Does that make sense? Well? How many times have you
-
all have been across Kingdom? Okay? M hm, I actually just saw
-
you playing piano like I saw you playing keys. Do you do you uh?
-
Do you have a desire for music? No, do you have a
-
desire to play a little bit? Okay, we'll pray into that because it
-
could be an invitation for you to go into that. Mm hmm. Hey
-
Cooper, real quick, there's something about a black trailer and a truck and
-
I just keep hearing back up and hook up. It's time to go.
-
So I feel like you need there's some resources that you've been meaning in your
-
in your life and you're in your line of work and has to do with
-
the trailer kind of like a horse trailer, and so I just want to
-
release that to you. Did you have something, Kim? Yeah? Right,
-
I'm not crying to do with this. I'm trying to do so,
-
she said. So, Susan, I was just sitting up there. I'm
-
like, hey, lord, what what do you want me to Who do
-
you want me to talk to? You were highlighted to me and I see
-
you, I hear the rain is coming. I don't know if that means
-
something to you, doesn't I don't know. And then I saw you standing
-
and and just rain, rain pouring down on you and it's you're in just
-
a puddle of rain and you're just dancing and you're rejoicing. You're not trying
-
to stop it, you don't want an umbrella, you're just receiving it.
-
And I just see like overwhelming joy and your movements and your laughter. So
-
that's what I have for you. Yeah, yeah, thank you for listening.
