  1. You're listening to the Cross Kingdoms Sermon of the Week. We hope you enjoyed

  2. this message from Justin Carpenter. Are you in the bathroom? Mark loose?

  3. Bad jokes? Sorry, y'all, that was bad. That was bad.

  4. Hey, I have to do one bad joke every once in a while,

  5. just to make sure y'all know it's still me. Okay, we might uh

  6. we might switch some things up here. Let's see at tell you what if

  7. you can, if you can put that first slide for me. Hey,

  8. there we go. Before we move forward, I just wanted to do a

  9. short recap because I think it's super important to review what God's done, what

  10. He's doing, and what where we're headed. And uh, this is a

  11. little chart. In March thirtieth to April first, we had the Tabernacle Symposium

  12. and the b Vision was released about cross pollination and that was one of my

  13. best bloopers yet trying to share that vision and it's got over two thousand views

  14. on Facebook. And uh, yeah, I'm famous for putting my foot in

  15. my mouth. There's Piper, thank you for that clap back there. April

  16. fourth was the donation for the land, which was a huge Tuesday. And

  17. just for those of you that are visiting, A couple of years ago,

  18. I had this dream, and it was a really short dream. I was

  19. in my car and I look over and my son Micah pops up in the

  20. driver's window like a baby, and he starts singing this little song. It's

  21. Tuesday. It's Tuesday. Something's about to change. It's Tuesday. It's Tuesday.

  22. Something's about to change. And that was the whole dream. And I

  23. woke up and it was obviously Tuesday, and I was like, well,

  24. that's interesting. And all of a sudden, this theme of breakthrough moments throughout

  25. the year have happened on Tuesdays. See it says God will speak in one

  26. way or another. Man doesn't perceive it in a dream or a vision of

  27. the night. While you slumber on your bed. He instills instruction into you,

  28. and it doesn't for all you revelatory. You have to understand something.

  29. It does not have to be a super long word for someone's life to be

  30. changed. It simply has to be His words coming through your mouth. I'd

  31. rather have one sentence from the Lord that I know is from him than to

  32. give three pages of Thus saith the Lord and it's a bunch of garbage because

  33. no matter how good it sounds, it's not going to bring transformation and have

  34. an eternal impact. So April nineteenth we closed on the land. In July

  35. and August we went into leadership restructuring, which was just lots of fun,

  36. and we brought on Alex for the Kingdom Kids program. We brought on Anthony

  37. as Ministry project coordinator, which has been both of them have been amazing for

  38. those of you that were stuffed in here with two hundred and eighty people for

  39. the play. Amazing job on the on the Christmas play November we actually installed

  40. some elders and then today we're almost done with the three D plan of Phase

  41. one. In Phase two which hopefully in the next couple of weeks depending hopefully

  42. in a couple of weeks we'll have the three D plans completed and then it'll

  43. go into engineering for the buildings and everything. So the goal is to break

  44. ground this spring. If if you can, if you can go to the

  45. if you can, go to the next slide. This was a site plan

  46. that we had done with the architect and this this actually shows the first two

  47. phases with parking lots and this is right here on twenty five acres. Later

  48. on, we have an arts center, we have transitional housing in the back.

  49. We have a prayer garden up top here on the top of the hill

  50. in the corner. And those are just some of the things that we are

  51. leaning towards and dreaming about and moving into. If you can switch, so

  52. this is phase one, and this would be fifty two hundred square feet within

  53. the actual sanctuary. To give you an idea, this area right here is

  54. I think eighteen hundred square feet where the seats are, and so it's roughly

  55. two and a half times the size of this meeting area, so we'll be

  56. able to see about four hundred and fifty people. But what's nice about this

  57. is once we move from this building to phase two, this actually becomes the

  58. kids church and fellowship Hall. And if you would move to the next one

  59. for me real quick, So this is kid's Children's building. You'll come in,

  60. you'll have all the different rooms for like nursery three to fives. And

  61. then guess what this is the children's church where they will meet with a stage

  62. and storage very similar to this, and that meeting area is roughly about this

  63. size if I can remember correctly, and so all imagine this space strictly for

  64. the kids, so that'll be awesome. And then if you would go to

  65. the last one for me, and then this is the phase two long term

  66. sanctuary that's about twenty two five hundred square feet at the moment, and this

  67. will this will seat somewhere around I think seven fifty if I can remember correctly

  68. to eight hundred, and has the capacity for expansion later on. You have

  69. offices and classrooms on the sides, and there'll be a courtyard there. Hopefully

  70. for those of you that have a difficult time visualizing the floor plans kind of

  71. help you a little bit more to see what's going on and to actually see

  72. that as you sew into the building fund, that you're not sowing into a

  73. pie in the sky, like this is happenings and this is what we're running

  74. to and it's not. The Lord said in the beginning to me, you

  75. build the people, I'll build the church, meaning the building. And so

  76. my focus is to build people up, because that's the whole reason why that's

  77. happening. If you're not building people, if you're not releasing destiny, then

  78. you can have a zillion buildings and they just sit empty and they look like

  79. monuments. So I believe that's the last one. Yeah, and so we

  80. are. We are currently at just y'all know, the building fund is currently

  81. at six hundred and six thousand, one and forty two dollars. Y'all we

  82. what what the Lord's done this year has has absolutely been amazing. It's been

  83. one of the most bittersweet years for me and I think for many people.

  84. I've talked to leaders across the across the country, and all of them leaders

  85. have been attacked and under warfare like they've not seen in a long time.

  86. It's you can you can get discouraged, and you can harden up, and

  87. you can give up and believe the lie that somehow that there's no point in

  88. all of this, or you can recognize that the enemy only attacks what he

  89. fears. And if the enemy is attacking you right now in ways that you've

  90. not been attacked before, guess what be encouraged? I do. I do

  91. remember this one scripture It says give thanks to all things. Do y'all remember

  92. that scripture? Wow, y'all, are do we need to pull the coffee

  93. pots back out in the back or what people. Okay, So here's my

  94. other little theme for this year, declaring war in twenty four. Declaring war

  95. in twenty four. And we're declaring war on doubt and unbelief. We're declaring

  96. war on everything that's gonna hold you back from actually stepping into what you were

  97. created for. Listen, this is not a time to sit back and drink

  98. hot chocolate and eat marshmallows. This is a time to recognize that the shakings

  99. are increasing, the birth pains are getting closer together. Are you all with

  100. me? So for you moms that have given birth to children, what happened?

  101. Yeah, it hurt. I mean you have like, yeah, Daisy's

  102. got like fifteen kids. So she's got this thing down totally right. I

  103. came in and she had a kid here, a kid here, and I'm

  104. like, look, you need like two more on your shoulders. She goes,

  105. oh, they're back there. She came in one day with a wagon

  106. and I'm like, Brah, we're just gonna pray, We're gonna intercede in

  107. tongues over them right now, bless them. But no, I you know

  108. what's interesting. I've said for a very long time that I always thought rejection

  109. and control were your kingpins. Because the moment you feel rejection, you go

  110. into rebellion to protect your heart, and controls there to give you a false

  111. sense of security. And if you don't deal with control, then rebellion and

  112. rejection never get addressed. But I want to say something. I think the

  113. deepest route out of all of that is unbelief. See the moment the enemy

  114. comes to you and you begin to doubt, the moment he gets you to

  115. doubt who God is, you're in trouble, did God say? And his

  116. accusations have not changed, y'all? And his strategy does not change. In

  117. case you haven't figured this one out, when Jesus said that we were sheep,

  118. that wasn't always a compliment. We need a shepherd to protect us,

  119. to keep us from going off track. Roman says, the gifts and callings

  120. are irrevocable. Another way of saying that is God factored your stupidity into your

  121. destiny. So no matter what you've done, no matter how no matter how

  122. bad you think you've messed this thing up, God has not changed his mind

  123. about you. God has not changed his mind about what he wants to do

  124. through you. Y'all understand something. The Disciples, they came back and they

  125. wanted to call fire down from heaven. All right, let me break this

  126. down. It'd be like Wayne coming up to me and pulling out his you

  127. know, he's packing. I don't know if you're packing, but all of

  128. a sudden he pulls his gun out, justin do you want me to shoot

  129. him? No? Wayne, we don't want to kill anybody here. Put

  130. it back. But it's literally that real. When they said, hey,

  131. do you want us to call fire down from heaven? They were not pretending.

  132. They were like, Lord, do you want us to kill him with

  133. the fire of God? And they're looking for Jesus's approval in that moment,

  134. like, yeah, I'm so proud of these boys. Oh look at my

  135. son's They want to call fire down from heaven. This is amazing, Just

  136. like Papa. No that he goes. You don't know what spiritu're of.

  137. See, we always read through scripture. We read about the wrath of God,

  138. which is real and you can never mind I'll get a rabbit trailed.

  139. But but do you understand the amount of rebellion and years and decades of rebellion

  140. and evil that those people pursued stiff arming a loving father all the way to

  141. that point. See, we read when God Brings his Wrath. We read

  142. a chapter and it's like, we don't realize it was hundreds of years.

  143. God knew Israel was going to go into captivity for four hundred years, and

  144. he said, because the iniquity of the Amalekites is not yet full. If

  145. you don't understand that God is sovereign in the moments of shaking, you will

  146. have more faith in the enemy's hand to destroy your life than God's ability to

  147. sovereignly protect you. I found myself. We shut the offices down this week

  148. to give all the staff a break and rest and recover and hopefully spend time

  149. with their families and pray. And I just had been kind of revisiting the

  150. year, looking over the year, and and doing some prayer ministry on myself

  151. over a couple of things, and I got face to face with unbelief like

  152. I had not been in a very long time. And I recognized in that

  153. moment that it was from all of the difficulties that I went through over the

  154. last fifteen months or so that doubt began to come in. And I didn't

  155. recognize it for what it was, and doubt grew up into unbelief and a

  156. part of my life. Y'all. The scripture's clear. It says the things

  157. I do, you'll do and greater because I go to the Father. These

  158. signs will follow after those who believe. When we're not living a life like

  159. Jesus lived, it's not because God changed his mind about his gifts, his

  160. plan. Jesus was in his hometown and he marveled at their unbelief. They

  161. were offended with him. They were offended with him, and he couldn't do

  162. any miracles in his own town, it says, except for he laid his

  163. hands on a few sick that was it. See, we better get very

  164. acquainted with the ways of God. James won six to eight. But let

  165. him ask in faith with no doubting. For the one who doubts is like

  166. a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind. For

  167. that person must not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord. He

  168. is a double minded man, unstable in all of his ways. Double Mindedness

  169. literally means to be two sold It's to think two different ways, to feel

  170. two different ways, and want to act in two different ways, and double

  171. mindedness comes in because we begin to partner with the enemy's accusations against God's goodness,

  172. against his nature. You ever notice when things don't work out the way

  173. we believe they're supposed to, that we ultimately end up blaming God. The

  174. enemy comes in, he steals in your life, destroys, and then gets

  175. you to actually blame God in the end. And how do you blame God?

  176. Why did you let this happen? Because we have a very difficult time

  177. understanding that there are things that happen that God has nothing to do with.

  178. Now. I may have just jacked with your theology a little bit, but

  179. God is not the author of sin. So when we see the consequences of

  180. sin, and we see people choosing sin, their sin doesn't just affect them,

  181. It affects everyone around them. You understand right now, every one of

  182. you, you're not just fighting for yourself. You're literally fighting for your bloodline.

  183. I don't know how many times I've given prophetic words over the years where

  184. the Lord clearly showed me that he had put his hand on an individual to

  185. change that bloodline. Every yes, you say yes to the Lord on every

  186. act of righteousness that you choose is laying a pathway, is creating a legacy

  187. for your bloodline. Every stronghold that you allow the Lord to pull down is

  188. something that does not get to stay in the bloodline. Wouldn't it be great

  189. of your children's children didn't have to deal with all the strongholds that you've had

  190. to deal with. Listen, this is God's heart. He's wanting you to

  191. partner for a godly offspring. It says in the word that He's wanting a

  192. godly offspring. Who wasn't earlier that said that the angels were called sons of

  193. God? Do you understand there's this huge peace, y'all, Paul says,

  194. Do you not understand that you're going to judge angels, that you're going to

  195. rule and reign with Christ. Do you understand that when we pass through this

  196. life and we get into the next life, part of the inheritance is we

  197. will join the Divine Council with ruling and reigning. Are you with me?

  198. Do you understand what the divine council is? Paul made it very clear.

  199. Your principalities, your powers, your rulers, your dominions, your thrones.

  200. He made it very clear about this. There is a part of your inheritance,

  201. your legacy, that's going to be released in the life to come.

  202. And you are ruling and reigning right now, you are practicing. And if

  203. you don't think that your stewardship of what the Lord has given to you right

  204. now in this moment does not affect you for eternity, you're deceived, right,

  205. that's right, Mark eleven twenty three. Truly, I say to you,

  206. whoever says to this mountain be taken up and thrown into the sea,

  207. and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will

  208. come to pass, it will be done for him. Y'all, how much

  209. of your life was spent living in the impossible in the last year, and

  210. you actually saw the impossible bow its knee to the name of Jesus. Because

  211. it is our inheritance, it is our life, it's what we are called

  212. to do. We are called to abide in a life of the impossible because

  213. we are marked by our creator. We have been given a new spirit.

  214. We're a new creation. The old is gone. Behold, all things are

  215. becoming new. We are a new creation. You are light. You have

  216. authority over the enemy, and you have power over his power, and the

  217. only thing that's stopping us is unbelief. It's unbelief that God is really this

  218. good, that he has really changed us, because we look in the mirror

  219. and we look with natural eyes, and we listen with the natural ear,

  220. and we get demoralized by the accuser of the brethren. The disciples couldn't cast

  221. the spirit of epilepsy out of the boy. What changed. They're already given

  222. authority, and they're already given a power over the enemy and over all sickness

  223. and disease. What changed? They come off to the Lord because Jesus shows

  224. up and he boom comes out with a word. Why Jesus didn't say,

  225. hey, look, you're a pretty powerful demon and ten days I'll be back.

  226. I'm gonna go fast and pray and then I'll come back to you know,

  227. He said, your unbelief, y'all. Unbelief is like kryptonite. It's

  228. absolutely like kryptonite. Unbelief is what kept Israel out of the Promised Land.

  229. Unbelief is what kept them out. It was nothing else. It was their

  230. unbelief. Whatever wilderness period you're in right now, it was designed as long

  231. as you didn't go in by rebellion. When you find yourself in a wilderness

  232. period, it's for your benefit. Your character is built in the wilderness.

  233. Your character is built in the valley. Your character does and get built in

  234. the on the mountaintops. Those are those moments that we wish would last forever.

  235. Oh it's so nice up here, and all of a sudden, that

  236. fast, you feel like somebody kicked you off the mountain? Lord, what

  237. happened through many tribulations? Will you enter into the kingdom? Why do we

  238. always see feel like this is some like like, wait a minute, why

  239. is this happening? Why am what? Lord? Why am I being tested?

  240. Why am I struggling? Why am I being attacked? In this life?

  241. You'll have trouble in this life. You'll have trouble to take card of

  242. overcome. We need to declare this year like Joel's army. We need to

  243. declare war on doubt and unbelief. We need to declare war and claim the

  244. promises over our lives. It says of God before you, who can be

  245. against you? How about this? If God is for you, who cares

  246. who's against you? Because if you're in God's will and you're moving forward with

  247. what he's called you to do. The gates of hell cannot prevail. We

  248. all get offended in life right at times. Let's be honest, we get

  249. offended. You're offended and he's offended. You're offended, and I'm offended,

  250. and he took on my offense, and we're all offended. But we get

  251. offended in life. Let me tell you something. You want a measurement of

  252. your maturity. What does it take to what's it take to offend you?

  253. Do you offend easily? Then you're immature. You get offended because you think

  254. you have rights. You get offended because you have a reputation to uphold,

  255. and how dare someone attack your reputation. There's just one massive problem with that

  256. whole thing. Jesus showed up and made himself of no reputation, so he

  257. doesn't care about your reputation. He actually wants to kill it, because if

  258. you try to carry a reputation, it will kill you if you don't get

  259. rid of it. Listen, hey, you know the one good thing about

  260. teaching, asked my wife, I don't get away with anything. I'm on

  261. a choker chain from the Lord I mean this and everything I teach, I

  262. promise you I get to get tested on it. So don't think I just

  263. throw all these you know, hard words up here, because I know what's

  264. coming. I know that I'm gonna be tested on everything that I teach.

  265. Yeah, oh, y'all. Luke one eighteen to twenty. Zachariah said to

  266. the Angel, how shall I know this? For I'm an old man and

  267. my wife has advanced in years. And the Angel answered him, I am

  268. Gabriel. I stand in the presence of God, and I was sent to

  269. speak to you and to bring you this good news. And beholds you will

  270. be silent and unable to speak until the day that these things take place because

  271. you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their time.

  272. Don't let unbelief steal your voice. Thankfully, God's gracious enough that he'll muture,

  273. but before it gets too bad. It says that it says this about

  274. Daniel and Jesus. It says that they increased in stature and favor with God

  275. and men, y'all, favor with man comes from God. It says the

  276. heart of the King is in the hand of the Lord, and he turns

  277. in any direction he wants. He kept Ammelech or Ambelech from saint him,

  278. He kept him from sinning. Self promotion will lead to witchcraft. God doesn't

  279. need your help opening doors. This is the year of the door, right,

  280. so this Hebrew calendar wise, So it's any door he opens, no

  281. man can shut. Any door he shuts, no man can open it.

  282. Correct if he can take Amos, who is a shepherd in the middle of

  283. nowhere, when no satellites, no cell phones, no social media, and

  284. say, hey, you're a prophet now and all of a sudden he's written

  285. in the Bible. Do you not understand he knows where you are? And

  286. if you'll allow him to open doors with his favor, then you don't have

  287. to question whether or not what you're doing is actually from him, because it's

  288. gonna be so painfully obvious that he did it and you didn't that there won't

  289. be any room for doubt. But whatever you start in the soul, you

  290. will have to maintain in the soul, and you will absolutely burn out in

  291. the soul, and your strength of your soul, and the fruit of that

  292. is you will be afraid of everyone that comes around you with anointing, because

  293. you will be living life an orphan instead of a son. You will be

  294. wanting to protect your empire. Oh oh, oh, don't do that.

  295. Anthony. When he gets excited, he does this like a little kid.

  296. And I'm just like, it's a next this time next year, everybody in

  297. the congregation will be going hang in here just for about five more minutes,

  298. and we're gonna shift gears, I think, and I'm gonna probably get weighing

  299. back up here, and I'm gonna call on a few people and we're gonna

  300. do some words of encouragement to bring in the new year. I had this

  301. amazing, like ten page outline. I've had like three scriptures. It's okay.

  302. Romans from twenty to twenty one. No unbelief made him waver concerning the

  303. promise of God, but he grew strong in his faith as he gave glory

  304. to God. Do you want to grow strong in your faith and you better

  305. give God glory? Fully convinced that God was able to do what he had

  306. promised. See Abraham's response versus Zachariah were two different things. He's like,

  307. look, I'm old, and they didn't have all the you know medical advancements

  308. and everything to do stuff. He was like, my body's good as dead.

  309. But no unbelief made him waver. For who were those who heard and

  310. yet rebelled? Was it not all those who left Egypt led by Moses,

  311. and with whom was he provoked for forty years? Was it not those who

  312. sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness, and to whom did he swear

  313. that they would not enter his rest? But to those who were disobedient.

  314. So we see that they were unable to enter because of unbelief. Y'all a

  315. like, examine your hearts. Examine your hearts in this time because we're all

  316. growing up. Every one of you are in process. We're all in process.

  317. We're all in different stages of maturation in Jesus, and we all see

  318. through a dim light. I'm not calling you a dim light, so don't

  319. get offended, but we all see darkly. Right, we see in part,

  320. we know in part. But when that which is perfect has come,

  321. then that which is in part will be done away with. Guess what that's

  322. Corinthians explain. That's Paul explaining. Our eternal state when we're in heaven will

  323. be fully known as we're we'll fully see as we're fully known. I mean

  324. switch the up a little bit, but that's Justin's paraphrase. So where are

  325. you at? What have you told? What have you told God this year?

  326. Maybe not audibly, but with your actions or a lack of actions,

  327. that you don't really think he can do what he said he was going to

  328. do. Maybe you've been more convinced that what the enemy has to offer is

  329. better than what the Lord has, and therefore you've not repented. Because make

  330. no mistake, if you have habitual sin in your life, willful sin,

  331. then you're telling God that you believe the enemy's plan is better than his.

  332. Come on, call sin, sin. We're very seeker friendly here. If

  333. you allow the voice of doubt and unbelief to be your master, you're never

  334. going to get rid of Ishmael. You'll never be able to embrace Isaac.

  335. You'll always think Ishmael is better because Ishmael you have control over Isaac. You

  336. have no control over Ishmael. You can manipulate, you can work your plan,

  337. you can work your stuff. Isaac. You got to leave him on

  338. the altar. He's not yours to touch because God doesn't share his glory with

  339. man. I love Thomas. He gives us all hope. So the other

  340. disciples told him we have seen the Lord. But he said to them,

  341. unless I see in his hands the mark of the nails, and place my

  342. finger into the mark of the nails, and place my hand into his side,

  343. I will never believe. And what happened, we know Jesus had mercy

  344. on him. He says, hey, come here, touch, touch the

  345. holes, touch my side. Here, give me food. Watch this,

  346. spirits, don't spirits, don't eat wayne, we come up Hebrews eleven eight.

  347. By faith, Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to a

  348. place that he was to receive as an inheritance, and he went out not

  349. knowing where he was going. He went out not knowing where he was going.

  350. So guess what if you don't have all the pieces of the puzzle of

  351. your life in this moment? Great if Abraham went out and didn't have a

  352. clue where he was going and it all worked out, It says, many

  353. are the plans in a man's heart, but it's the Lord's will that prevails.

  354. There's some folks here this morning that you've been stuck in neutral because you

  355. actually fear God's going to punish you for making the wrong choice. Do you

  356. understand when you seek God's face, you're only responsible for what he tells you.

  357. You understand how that works. Right? So if you say, Lord,

  358. where are we supposed to go? And he says move to Florida,

  359. you can go anywhere in Florida and be in his will because he said go

  360. to Florida. If you go, Lord, where do you want me to

  361. go? And he says, go to Tampa, Florida, you can live

  362. anywhere in Tampa, Florida and be obedient to that work. He's not going

  363. to punish you for what he has not told you. That is a twisting

  364. of the sovereignty of God, that all of a sudden, that's injustice.

  365. If God judged you for a life you've not lived yet, that is called

  366. injustice. If he punished you for an action you have not yet committed,

  367. that would be injustice. I have a question if my son, he'll be

  368. nineteen January nineteenth, if he was coming to me asking me what he could

  369. eat for breakfast at eighteen years old, there'd be a problem, Right Dad?

  370. What color socks should I wear this morning? I don't know what color

  371. do you want to wear? Dad? What color shirt should I wear?

  372. See a lot of times we get this hyper spiritualism to us to where we

  373. every little Oh, I asked the Lord what clothes to put on this morning?

  374. I asked the Lord? And it's this hyper spirituality, and we find

  375. this false identity in being super super spiritual. Do you understand? I mean,

  376. I'm sorry, y'all. I didn't ask the Lord what clothes to put

  377. on this morning? And clearly Sean didn't with that pink hat, and so

  378. just playing, just playing, Sean, you read what you so, so

  379. I know that's coming back, pressed down, shaking together, overflowing in my

  380. lap next week. But so many times there's a green light over us.

  381. But we're listening to the voice of fear masquerading is the Holy Spirit. You'n

  382. all want to have some fun. I love this part. I don't.

  383. I don't get to do it a lot. But we're gonna We're gonna finish

  384. up the last few minutes this way. Who's never gotten a word of knowledge

  385. for healing for someone like You've never you've never heard the Lord say, you

  386. know, give you a word of knowledge, and you pray for some when

  387. they got healed. Don't be scared. You just don't want to come up

  388. here? You here, come up here, Jesus said, my sheep,

  389. hear my voice, the voice of a stranger. They won't follow. And

  390. it says, who have you? If you ask for bread from your father,

  391. are gonna get a rock or fish? And you get a serpent?

  392. And if you, being evil, know how to give good gifts, how

  393. much more does your heavenly father? Scripture actually says healing is the children's bread.

  394. So you're ready, I'm gonna give you a crash course and the prophetic.

  395. You're gonna see something, You're gonna hear something, you're gonna feel something.

  396. You may even smell something, and it will be God. So just

  397. say, Jesus, who do you want to talk to? Yeah, Jesus,

  398. like Jesus, who do you want to talk to? Okay, m

  399. mm hmm, what'd you get? What do you see? Bright light?

  400. A bright light here? Lookout, look out and ask the lord to highlight?

  401. Lord? Who do you want to heal? H mm hmmm, what's

  402. that? Let let here pick up the miclvely mm hm, So is this

  403. something? What's going on with Leslie? I don't know. When I looked

  404. over there, there was a bright light around here, So you got something

  405. going on. Well, at least it wasn't a dull light. It was

  406. just really shiny over there. When I lived, it was really shiny over

  407. there. Okay, So I ask the Lord what he wants to say to

  408. Leslie? Hard work Leslie. By the way, if y'all are thinking this

  409. is weird, the late John Paul Jackson he in the beginning when he used

  410. to equit people, he would tell people only prophisey when he saw, when

  411. you see the light of the Lord over the person. But he actually recognized

  412. that not everybody saw right, not everybody seers, and so he adjusted that

  413. training. So what that tells me, is you seeing the light of the

  414. Lord over someone, is that you've been given the gift of a seer,

  415. and so God highlighted her. So you say, Lord, what do you

  416. want to say to her? When I asked that question, hold the mic

  417. up more. When I asked that question, I heard that you were a

  418. shiny star and that you help many of people. We appreciate you. Okay,

  419. awesome, y'all give her hand. She's she's never done that before.

  420. Yeah, yeah, Hey, Ben, did you have something? Word?

  421. Ben? Go? You got you got a word? All right? Come

  422. on Ben Ben Ben. During worship he came and said, uh. He

  423. said, he's in the spirit. He saw prophecy over the house like a

  424. whirlwind, and I was like, okay, well, Lord, we want

  425. the whirlwind in here, not over us. How do we get in there?

  426. Go ahead, Bud, Sir you over here had the sunglasses top of

  427. your head. Yes, sir, what's your name? Eric? Eric?

  428. Eric? So Eric. I saw a vision clearly of you, like in

  429. a polo shirt, dressed all up, and I have this strong feeling that

  430. it has to do with business. It transformed to you wearing a suit,

  431. and I see promotion upon your life going into this new year. And I

  432. hear the Lord very clearly telling me, don't lose your integrity in the process

  433. and the honesty that you give to others. It's valued, sir. You

  434. up here upstairs in the bluish shirt. The Lord's given you hands to build

  435. is what keeps coming to me. And He's gonna use you to build in

  436. your family's life. You're the head of your house and there's a gift with

  437. your hands that I can't quite see that you haven't used in a while,

  438. and I just encourage you step back into that this year. Hey what uh,

  439. you got something going on with your back? I saw when you got

  440. up. What's going on with your back? You got arthritis? Hey,

  441. Paul, will put your hand on his back. So Father, right now,

  442. in the name of Jesus, I thank you Father for the fire of

  443. God. And I curse arthritis, and I commanded to uncoil your spine in

  444. the name of Jesus Christ right now. Arthritis get out now in Jesus name,

  445. out of his joints and off his spine right now in Jesus name.

  446. All pain get out now in Jesus name. Check your back, how are

  447. you so? Before we pray, let's say you're at a level ten pain.

  448. Where you at right now probably a three? So thank you Jesus.

  449. So hold on, stay up there with me. The Lord doesn't do half

  450. healings. So Father, I thank you for complete healing right now, and

  451. I command all arthritis to come out of his body right now in the name

  452. of Jesus. And I even speak to trauma from accidents, and I command

  453. the trauma to come out of his body now in Jesus Mighty name all pain,

  454. get out now try to do something you couldn't do. So where are

  455. you at? One to ten? Like one being total healed? Ten still

  456. in pain? Still about a three. Paul, pray one more time,

  457. buddy, and Lord, I just break off devouring, financial devouring, and

  458. I break the fear of lack. And Lord, would you strengthen him to

  459. go back again? Lords, he has made attempts like I see, like

  460. business attempts where you were doing business and then it just didn't work out the

  461. way you wanted it to. And and after going through those business attempts more

  462. than one time, there's a part of you that just gave up, going

  463. well, I guess this just isn't for me. And I hear the Lord

  464. saying, no, son, it is for you. And just like the

  465. disciples fishing all night, he said, he goes cast your net, but

  466. go deeper. And there's an invitation in your life right now, in this

  467. moment for the Lord to say, do it again, do it again,

  468. but this time the favor of the Lord's going to be on you and the

  469. wisdom of God to build wealth. It says, it's the it's the Lord

  470. that gives you the power to build wealth. He's going to give you wisdom

  471. to navigate those things that took you out in previous attempts. Does that make

  472. sense? Bless you, buddy. So you've been stabbed in the back twice

  473. by people that you were very close to, and I believe it had to

  474. do with business. And so right now, in the name of Jesus,

  475. I command the wounding of a friend to come out of your back right now,

  476. and the pain go with it. In the name of Jesus. You

  477. got anything else, go ahead. I think the whirlwinds dropped. So come

  478. on now, I've never met this man before in my entire life. Course,

  479. I do really feel better. Awesome, thank you. This is our

  480. first time here. We've never been. Me and my family. We we

  481. do really love the Lord. We study together, we learned together. Uh.

  482. We have struggled to be a part of a church family that just we

  483. hasn't fit yet. Okay, but okay. So I've owned two businesses.

  484. Okay, I was a welder manufacturer and I lost Okay, and I had

  485. a second one and uh I kind of got stabbed there too, and leave

  486. that one alone. But uh, it has dropped, and and and in

  487. that process, my rebermatory athritis was really acting up. And I haven't been

  488. able to finish the last job that I was on because I hadn't been able

  489. to walk up a ladder. And uh so I'm struggling with all that we

  490. our family has been struggling financially, and a lady out of nowhere come up

  491. and bought our kids Christmas this year. But you all hit the nail and

  492. they had so well I had to. You got a touch, you got

  493. a touch. I'm sorry, I just I don't I don't remember his first

  494. name. But whenever, whenever we were turned around praying towards towards you,

  495. the Lord said that you felt unworthy of the healing. And I just want

  496. you to know it never ever has anything to do with our worthiness. It

  497. has everything to do with his worthiness. So you've got it because of his

  498. worthiness, not yours. In Jesus name, he said you had something else,

  499. right, Come on, all right, thank you father. Where's your

  500. name? Marvin? Marvin? There is a real creative side of you that

  501. needs to come forth. It's almost like an and and music. M hm

  502. hm. Yeah. You got so much talent into you that that the enemy

  503. has been pushing so hard to destroy and to distract and to tear down,

  504. but it's ready for it to come forth. And then there's people now in

  505. your life that you have. They're going to help you that dreaming again,

  506. that creativity that when spontaneous moments and words started flowing through your mind. And

  507. it's been silent for a while, but it's going to start coming alive again.

  508. Hey, the Lord hadn't spared your life for nothing. And Father,

  509. I just thank you for taking the hand that's been on the right side of

  510. his head constricting his thoughts. Lord, I thank you for the removal of

  511. that tightness off of him right now in the name of Jesus. And I

  512. just break word curses off of your life in the name of Jesus right now,

  513. specifically from family members. And I just bless your spirit to rise up.

  514. And I say that you are not the sum of your decisions in the

  515. seasons past, but Jesus is your answer. There's an invitation on your life

  516. right now to fully surrender it to Him, to fully surrender your life to

  517. him. In fact, there's an invitation right now that you need to say

  518. yes to that you've been offered and you have a You've had a very difficult

  519. time trusting people in the past because of how many people have broken promises over

  520. your life. But the Lord says, test me, he keeps his promises.

  521. He keeps his promises. So, Father, I asked that you would

  522. just bless him and the mighty name of Jesus, and I break heaviness off

  523. of him right now. I break heaviness and depression off of him right now

  524. in Jesus' name. I break the voice of the accusations of the accuser and

  525. the name of Jesus right now, and I declare breakthrough into your life right

  526. now in the name of Jesus, because he is the god to break through.

  527. Holy Spirit. Would you just touch him mightily right now? Would you

  528. bring a fresh baptism of your fire Lord and anointing. Lord, Would you

  529. just burn out what he thought he could never get free of in this moment.

  530. Lord, touch him, Lord, touch them, release your angels to

  531. minister over him. Father, I ask, and I bless the writing gift

  532. that you've placed inside of him, and I call that fourth. I call

  533. the writer forth in the name of Jesus, and I break premature death off

  534. of your bloodline. Right now in Jesus' name. Yeah, And I just

  535. speak to the time in your life where you had to hide, that you

  536. had to hide your talent, where you had to hide in your music,

  537. where you had to hide those things for fear that you would be judged by

  538. people that we're supposed to be fathering you. We just say, right now,

  539. you are released to have a new father. You were released to trust

  540. that new father, the Father in heaven. Just say this, same Father,

  541. I receive you as my old Jesus healed by heart. I trust you,

  542. and I surrender Cheam. I just see chains breaking off of your waist

  543. and falling off of you, things that have held you down and held you

  544. back, things that you've been chained to. I just saw chains falling off

  545. for you. Hey, your head's a whole lot lighter now, isn't it.

  546. Yeah. But I could see the light of the Lord coming off of

  547. your head a couple of inches. So, Lord, I just bless his

  548. spirit right now to awaken. And I speak to your spirit and I say,

  549. wake up from slumber and be seen, be seen. Lord, heal

  550. him, heal the broken spirit. Heal the broken spirit. Lord, right

  551. now, would you cause your healing to run deep in him, say this,

  552. Lord, I renounced the oaths, and I renounced the vows, and

  553. I declare your lordship in Jesus' name, and then more on more. I

  554. could do this all day. I love that. I'm like, yes,

  555. listen, do you understand. Paul said that prophecy was for edification, exhortation,

  556. and comfort, and it says one griding it is fourteen. All can

  557. prophesy one by one. He says, above all these gifts, I'd rather

  558. you prophesy because it builds up the body. Now more than ever, we

  559. need people carrying the word of the Lord, not their ego, not their

  560. own agendas, but the pure word of the Lord. And you have something

  561. to kim. Yeah, uh, sir, you there in the right there

  562. where Justin was praying. I kept and he said, to be seen.

  563. You meanly were highlighted from the Lord and he sees you right now in this

  564. moment. And I keep feeling the Father's love wanting to come upon you.

  565. And I feel like you haven't had the You've had some ups and downs in

  566. your relationship with your father, and a lot of what he was talking about

  567. today resonated with you and it spoke to you, and I just want to

  568. what's your name, yep, Cooper Cooper. I just want to pray over

  569. you right now. And Lord, I ask that you would show your love

  570. to Cooper right now, in this moment, that he would experience the father's

  571. love right now. Father, I think you just that he would hear your

  572. voice, that he would feel you in this moment, that the there's a

  573. calling on his life, Lord, that you're ready for him to step into.

  574. So I just thank you for his ears being open right now, for

  575. his mind being open, for his eyes being open to see and hear,

  576. Father, what you have for him. I thank you for healing coming to

  577. his heart this year. I think you for blessing his finances and blessing his

  578. family. Father, I thank you for completely transforming Cooper's life this year,

  579. Father God in Jesus' name, Hey, uh, while he was talking to

  580. you, Cooper, I saw you like a cowboy with a lasso and and

  581. and I saw you like roping right like, So, my son worked at

  582. a ranch this summer and he learned how to lasso and grab stuff. And

  583. and you know, there's the way the Lord's wired you. You have this

  584. ability to laser focus in on something. But the enemy has tripped you up

  585. in certain areas and gotten you to laser focus in on the negative. And

  586. what happens is your strength becomes your weaknesses when it when it's overemphasized. And

  587. I just see God giving you the wisdom just like that cowboy with that lasso,

  588. to literally grab a hold of what the Lord is saying, pulling that

  589. in and holding on tight. You're You're not the sum of the word curses

  590. over your life. You are not stupid. Hear me? And I break

  591. the word curse of being stupid right now in the name of Jesus, and

  592. I declare that you have the mind of Christ, that you have the wisdom

  593. of God. In fact, there's there's education that you haven't even gone into

  594. because you believe the lie. I has heard the Lord say, wait till

  595. you see what I do with Cooper. Is that your wife girlfriend? Yeah,

  596. I've learned one thing, prophetically, be careful in that arena so you

  597. don't look dumb. What's your name? Skyla? Did did what was said

  598. over him? Does that make sense? Well? How many times have you

  599. all have been across Kingdom? Okay? M hm, I actually just saw

  600. you playing piano like I saw you playing keys. Do you do you uh?

  601. Do you have a desire for music? No, do you have a

  602. desire to play a little bit? Okay, we'll pray into that because it

  603. could be an invitation for you to go into that. Mm hmm. Hey

  604. Cooper, real quick, there's something about a black trailer and a truck and

  605. I just keep hearing back up and hook up. It's time to go.

  617. a puddle of rain and you're just dancing and you're rejoicing. You're not trying

  618. to stop it, you don't want an umbrella, you're just receiving it.
