-
enjoy this week's message. I hear the Spirit
-
of the Lord saying, for I'm bringing you into
-
a place that you've never been. And the things
-
that you brought thus far, you will have to lay
-
down to go where I'm bringing you, says the Lord.
-
For I put my mantle upon this house, not as that
-
only of the gathering of the sheep, but I brought
-
you into a place to be a place of the releasing
-
of the lions, says the Lord. For I'm bringing
-
Oregon into alignment. This state under judgment,
-
says the Lord. And I'm going to begin to cause
-
things that have built its throne up in this
-
state to begin to fall at my feet, says the Spirit
-
of the Lord. I am rearranging and I am shifting
-
this state into a state to where I will put my
-
footstool, says the Lord. I'm bringing you, my
-
ecclesia, into a battlefield. that is full of
-
spoil, that is full of kings kneeling before
-
me. And I will use you, says the Lord, to gather
-
the spoil. I will use you, says the Lord, to
-
release my angels, my host into this state, says
-
the Lord. And I will use you to decapitate the
-
kings that have set their thrones up in this
-
state. For I have said, Oregon is mine. And I've
-
said that I will use out of Oregon, says the
-
Lord, my spirit to begin to flow like a river
-
to the north and like a river to the south. And
-
I've said I will use Oregon to reclaim the West
-
Coast. You will not only see California and Washington,
-
but you will see Hawaii begin to become a part
-
of the redemptive process that I am birthing
-
through this state, says the Lord. Search yourselves
-
up. Prepare your hearts. Position yourself. The
-
Lord says tonight in your ranks that I may in
-
this day, in this hour, begin to release my judgment
-
upon this state, says God. For I am in a redeeming
-
mood, says the Lord. I am in a recovering mood,
-
says the Lord. And I have my eyes on this state.
-
I'm shifting her. I have grabbed Oregon by the
-
ankles and I am shaking out of her everything
-
the enemy has brought in. So Lord, we hear you.
-
We hear you, Lord. We release over this state
-
a spirit of redemption. We declare tonight that
-
Oregon is being redeemed, that Oregon is being
-
rebirthed, that Oregon is being realigned, and
-
that the King of Glory is walking in to take
-
rulership in the territory known as Oregon. We
-
say tonight that every false god and every false
-
throne that has been set up in this state, you
-
will kneel before the King of Glory. We declare
-
tonight that his word holds you captive. And
-
we declare tonight that his word is judging you.
-
For the Lord sits in the heavens and laughs at
-
you while you have made your plans against him.
-
And today is payday, says the Lord. I see. Trees
-
of righteousness beginning to spring up in Oregon.
-
And I see her limbs beginning to stretch into
-
the nation. And the Lord says tonight that where
-
others have written Oregon off, I've written
-
Oregon up. I have issued citations against her.
-
That I may redeem her in this hour says the Lord.
-
I see an angel in the spirit tonight. That has
-
been released from your praying in tongues. This
-
angel is translucent. I can see through it. But
-
it's wearing black. And I said, Lord, who is
-
this? He said, this is my debt collector. And
-
I'm coming to collect the debt that Oregon owes
-
heaven. Do it, Lord. Do it, Lord. And as this
-
angel Begins to go through the state. He's collecting
-
from the corrupt politicians. He's collecting
-
from those that have corrupted your children.
-
He is collecting from those that have allowed
-
Oregon to be a testing ground. for unrighteousness.
-
So Lord, we say tonight, collect the dead. King
-
of glory, walk through your territory tonight.
-
King of glory, redeem and retrieve the boundaries
-
of this state. We declare tonight, this is the
-
word, this is the word. We declare tonight that
-
the righteous are taking the seats of the wicked.
-
And the mourning that has come from this state
-
will be turned into rejoicing. That the seeds
-
of the anointing of healing, the seeds of the
-
anointing of the harvesters, that are in the
-
ground of this state are beginning to come forth.
-
Oregon, align with the kingdom of God. Align
-
with the kingdom of God. This is your day. There
-
will be a day that Oregon will feed the nation
-
and it will feed the world. Declare this with
-
me as the ecclesia say, Father, we agree. Oregon,
-
line up with the kingdom of God. Oregon, come
-
into the plan of God and the assignment of God
-
and the mantle of God. We bring forth the kingdom
-
of God. And every throne that exalts its throne
-
above God's throne is pulled down in the name
-
of Yeshua. Now if you agree with that, shout
-
I agree. You may be seated. Hallelujah. Thank
-
you, guys. May the Lord heal your hands. Hallelujah.
-
There's an unusual governmental presence in this
-
place tonight. I was sharing with Brad a little
-
bit earlier that I saw 37 angels in the room
-
tonight. And I saw 36 of them lined around and
-
one standing here at the back. And I knew that
-
the one at the back, Brad, was a general. And
-
you reminded me that last year, was it last year
-
that we prophesied there were 36 counties that
-
these angels went with. And for them to show
-
back up. Tonight. I see that as they're ready
-
to be released. Last time it was 36. Tonight
-
is 37. Their general is with them tonight. So
-
when the general, the commander of that particular
-
group of angels shows up, it means that deployment
-
is ready. When God gets ready to deploy angels,
-
that means that something on earth in the seen
-
realm is coming into alignment to be able to
-
partner with the angels in the unseen realm.
-
Are you with me? So tonight I break off of you
-
any preconceived ideas about your assignment.
-
And I break off of you tonight anything that
-
would hinder you from shifting into what Father
-
has assigned for this house to do. And I decree
-
over you tonight that your minds and your hearts
-
are open. To receive Holy Spirit in a way that
-
you've never received him before so that you
-
may see clearer and hear clearer than you've
-
ever seen or heard before for you are stepping
-
in to a new dimension of the assignment that
-
he's given you. Is that all right? So God has
-
a very, Important is not the right word. A very
-
demanding assignment on this house. Amen? And
-
in order to go into the new, we've got to be
-
willing to leave the old. When God brings a new
-
wineskin or new wine, he needs a new wineskin
-
to put that in. And if you're willing, If you're
-
willing to allow him to mess with your wineskin,
-
he'll put the new wine in you. And I'm hearing
-
over you that your name will be remembered in
-
history as the ecclesia that shifted the state
-
of Oregon. Hallelujah. Sunday church people can't
-
do that. I'm gonna try not to get ahead of myself.
-
I'm gonna do something a little bit different.
-
I hardly ever do this, ever. I was reminded of
-
a dream that I had back in 2021. It was May 16,
-
2021. And the Lord brought it back to me today
-
and he said, I want you to share this dream because
-
this dream, even though it was given in 2021,
-
is relevant for now and it's relevant to this
-
house. Is that all right? I'm gonna give you
-
some scripture too so you feel like everything's
-
legal. But God, listen to me tonight. Listen
-
to me. God has something to say to you. And if
-
you will hear what Holy Spirit has to say to
-
you, you will secure this state for generations.
-
Five of you got it. Hallelujah. Now I'm serious,
-
family. Listen, listen, listen. You gotta get
-
out of that churchy mode. And get in the ecclesia
-
mode. Brad, I'll tell you, very rarely do I go
-
in places that I feel the weight of the assignment
-
of the house that I do tonight. I don't know
-
about Tony, but there's something special on
-
this house. I feel it very, very strongly. So
-
let me just share this dream. I'm gonna read
-
it. If you wanna, you can get this on my webpage.
-
Let me set it up for you. How many of you ever
-
heard Dutch Sheets share some of the dreams I've
-
had? Oh, good. A lot of you have. When I talk
-
about Dutch in the dream or myself in the dream
-
or some others in the dream, they don't represent
-
themselves. Okay? It's not about him or me. I
-
believe in this dream, Dutch represents the apostolic.
-
as a whole in the body, in the ecclesia. I believe
-
I represent the prophetic. And there are others
-
that are in the dream that we'll get to in just
-
a minute that I'll define them as we get to them.
-
But what God's doing in this dream is so, I believe,
-
such a prophetic sign to us that if we can listen
-
and catch it, we can make a shift. How many believe
-
dreams are prophetic? Whoo, good, hallelujah.
-
I'm on the right track. Not only are they prophetic,
-
but I believe that dreams are going to become
-
God's prophetic way of speaking to his church
-
in this day. Now, I need to share this too because
-
I think this is important as we go through the
-
night. My primary gifting is an apostle. My secondary
-
gifting is a prophet. my secondary gifting, and
-
he'll do yours the same way, before he does your
-
primary gifting. I want you to think about that.
-
There are many places in the scripture that we
-
see people operating in two giftings. Peter did
-
it, Paul did it, John did it. We see this example
-
in the scripture. And whenever you are flowing
-
in your secondary gifting, that's your training
-
ground. God's training you and preparing you
-
for that primary gifting. And I asked the Lord
-
one time, I said, Father, why did you not develop
-
the primary gifting before the secondary gifting?
-
He said, if I had done that, people would not
-
pay attention to their secondary gifting. So
-
he develops the secondary before the primary.
-
I'm okay, Tony? Tony's going to fix this later
-
on. So we have to get comfortable in both of
-
those gifts. When I get with someone like Dutch,
-
who is an apostle to the nation, and we're ministering
-
together, he don't need another apostle with
-
him. He needs a prophet. So I've learned to step
-
into my secondary gifting to be able to enhance
-
his primary gifting. Does that make sense? Because
-
we're stepping into a time that there can be
-
no competition among the five full gifts. We
-
have to undergirt one another and strengthen
-
one another and be willing to be number two when
-
you've been used to being number one. Amen? Because
-
it's not about you. And you're going to have
-
to give an account for the gift that he made
-
you. Notice I didn't say put in you, but made
-
you. So in this dream, he's representing the
-
apostolic, I'm representing the prophetic. Let
-
me just start reading it to you and talk about
-
it as we go. So the dream opened up with Dutch
-
representing the apostolic and myself. building
-
a fishing platform next to a huge lake. Fishing,
-
evangelism. We were told that no one had fished
-
this lake in many, many years. As we built, we
-
talked about all the fish that we were going
-
to catch and how big they were going to be. Sounds
-
like a bunch of fellas going fishing, right?
-
I'm gonna catch a bigger fish than you're gonna
-
catch. You know how it goes. We were excited
-
to be fishing. And as we began to raise the platform
-
up, we placed the platform, we built it to a
-
height of 22 feet. 22 feet above the lake. Now
-
that number is very significant. In dreams, numbers
-
and symbols and even cities and things like that,
-
they mean something. And sometimes God will speak
-
to you in code. Amen. And one thing I do every
-
time with the dreams that I have personally,
-
I'm not saying you have to do this with yours,
-
but I don't try to interpret them. I give them
-
to him and let him interpret them. And one of
-
the things that he said to me, he said the number
-
22 is very significant in his life. And it takes
-
him always, when he sees that number, to Isaiah
-
22, 22. Can I read it to you? In the New American
-
Standard, Isaiah 22, 22, it says that I will
-
set the keys of the house of David on your shoulders.
-
When he opens, no one will shut. And when he
-
shuts, no one will open. I will drive him like
-
a peg in a firm place and he will become a throne
-
of glory for his father's house. There's another
-
place in the New Testament, Matthew chapter 18.
Matthew 18 chapter mention
-
Jesus told Peter, he said, I'm gonna give you
-
the keys to the kingdom of heaven and whatsoever
-
you bind will have been bound in heaven and whatsoever
-
you loose will have been loosed in heaven. This
-
is a governmental scripture. So we're seeing
-
right here that what God's getting ready to do
-
is bigger than a fishing trip. It's governmental.
-
Are you following me? Now let me move on. So
-
we built it 22 feet above the lake, so we thought.
-
And as we began to climb the steps to reach the
-
top of the platform so that we could fish, like
-
we were climbing much higher than we built it.
-
And as we begin to climb and reach the top, when
-
we did reach the top, there was an angel standing
-
there on the platform waiting for us. He was
-
tacking a sign or nailing a sign to the handrail
-
there on the platform that said 2 -22. Not 22.
-
feet, but 222 feet. Now that's going to take
-
a whole lot of fishing line. Right? In the dream,
-
Dutch and I were talking about this one time
-
when he was sharing it and he said, Greg, why
-
do you think this is? Because 22 or 222 or 2222,
-
however it is, it means the same thing to me.
-
I said, I believe that we've been operating at
-
a place in governmental authority that has been
-
comfortable for us, but God is getting ready
-
to take us to a higher level of governmental
-
authority that we've never walked in yet. And
-
I'm telling you tonight, Life Bible Church, God
-
is taking you to a new level of governmental
-
authority that you've never been in before, that
-
you've never experienced before, if you're willing
-
to do it. Did you hear it? If you're willing
-
to do it. We could see from here the lake at
-
this point. We're 222 feet high. We could see
-
here that this lake was shaped like the United
-
States of America. So it wasn't any lake. It
-
was a lake shaped like our nation that God was
-
getting ready to allow people to fish in. But
-
something happened at that level. We could see
-
from here that it was shaped like the United
-
States of America. We did not know this before.
-
Dutch turned to me in the dream and he said,
-
I don't think that we're going to get to fish
-
today. When God moves you into another level
-
of authority, it's not about the harvest. It's
-
about alignment. And you cannot harvest until
-
you bring the alignment. Amen? Now you can have
-
your soapbox on the street corner and you can
-
get up there and preach and holler at folks and
-
you know. Try to get them to buy fire insurance.
-
You can get them into church, but many times
-
people don't stay. So when we're talking about
-
authority and seeing this lake like America,
-
I believe in this dream the Lord is saying, I
-
want my nation in alignment before I bring my
-
harvest. And I want to tell you, we're on the
-
threshold of the greatest harvest this nation
-
has ever seen. Amen? Dutch said, I don't think
-
we're going to get to fish today. And the angel
-
that was standing there, he said, you're right.
-
You did not climb to this height to fish, but
-
to get an assignment. And here it is. The angel
-
went on to say, you're going to go to the Chattanooga
-
airport. Now, Chattanooga is a little old bitty
-
place compared to bigger cities. And I looked
-
it up tonight. I looked up the definition. Never
-
done this before, but I looked it up tonight.
-
And the definition of the word Chattanooga, it's
-
a Cherokee word and it's also a Crete word, Indian
-
word. And it means the very peak or where the
-
mountain runs out. The height of the mountain.
-
So God is in this dream has us at a... level
-
of governmental authority that we've never been
-
at before and he's wanting to send us to the
-
top of the mountain. See, the top of the mountain
-
is where you meet God. The valley is where you
-
meet the giants. Amen. We all want to go to the
-
mountain and soak. The presence of the Lord.
-
The presence of the Lord is for a purpose. It's
-
so that you can go and face the giants. Amen?
-
I've said this before several times. If God wants
-
to do something in the earth, he needs a man
-
to do it. Amen? If the devil's going to do something
-
in the earth, he needs a woman, I mean a man
-
to do it. Hallelujah. So nothing is happening
-
in this realm unless we are partnering with heaven.
-
Your state is not going to change. It's going
-
to get worse unless you get involved. And I'm
-
not talking about just praying, God save us.
-
No, you've got to insert yourself as an ecclesia
-
into your state. If not, your children and your
-
grandchildren and your great -grandchildren are
-
going to live through hell. And it'll be your
-
fault. devil's fault. The devil's doing what
-
he does. And sometimes he does it better than
-
we do what we're supposed to be doing. Not here
-
in Oregon, but in maybe Tennessee. Hallelujah.
-
I want you to think about this today. He said,
-
go to Chattanooga Airport. I'm sending you to
-
where the mountain runs out. There is a Radar
-
airline waiting on you there. An Radar airline
-
plane waiting on you there. Now, Back in that
-
day, I really didn't, wasn't into studying a
-
lot of the Hebrew. And now I know what Radah
-
means. The word Radah, it actually means dominion
-
or to rule or to kingdom, to do kingdom. So he's
-
sending us to the top of the mountain to catch
-
a plane, an airline called Dominion Airlines.
-
Whoo, hallelujah. If we gotta fly on an airlines,
-
it might as well be one that carries some authority,
-
amen? And he said, I want you to get on it and
-
I want you to take a flight to Eagle Mountain
-
Airport. Eagle Mountain Airport, that's Brother
-
Copeland's airport. And he said, when you get
-
there, the angel's still talking here. He said,
-
when you get there, I'll be there and you'll
-
get the rest of the assignment. So God has...
-
Apostolic prophetic folks flying to Eagle Mountain,
-
a Word of Faith headquarters. Is that right?
-
And I've had several dreams about Brother Copeland
-
and Dutch and others over the last several years.
-
And I've always thought God is doing that because
-
he's merging the streams. He's trying to bring
-
things that have been divided, even though we
-
like one another. He's trying to bring things
-
that have been divided into one. When you bring
-
streams together, you get rivers. Amen? Glory
-
to God. The angel then slowly leaned into Dutch,
-
almost touching his nose to Dutch's nose, and
-
with a soft, strong, forceful tone, He said to
-
Dutch, the Lord says to you, do not be late.
-
The flight is on a schedule. Do not miss the
-
flight. This would be the flight of your life.
-
That speaks a lot to me. Number one, God is saying
-
you better not be late. To me that says there's
-
something you're gonna have to catch. and something
-
you're going to have to steward in order to get
-
the assignment fulfilled. Amen? Family, this
-
is about territory. Kings are all about territory.
-
They're citizens. Yeah, kings like their citizens,
-
but the worth of a king has to do with his boundaries.
-
His territory. And God is looking to expand his
-
territory. And we heard the prophetic word tonight
-
that God is ready to redeem Oregon. Are you ready
-
for Oregon to be redeemed? Hallelujah. Then you're
-
going to have to participate in the redemption
-
of your state. Hallelujah. He said, don't be
-
late. This thing's on a schedule. That means
-
that God has a time in his heart that he wants
-
to bring about this thing. I'm telling you, I
-
feel it in my spirit tonight. You have stepped
-
across the threshold of the time of God for the
-
redemption of, or you can say, Greg, our state's
-
horrible. We've got a bunch of libtards running
-
this state. Now, if you voted for those people,
-
don't be offended. Look, I'm just giving you
-
what I feel like the Lord is saying. Get mad
-
at him. Don't get mad at me. Did he call them
-
libtards? No, I did that. Any party that would
-
sanction the murder of children in or out of
-
the womb is a party of darkness. It belongs to
-
the devil. Now, I'm not promoting the elephant.
-
I'm not promoting Republicans. I'm not... Help
-
me, Lord. See, God's not about the elephant or
-
the ass. He's about the lion. Amen? And until
-
you get out of politics and get into the government,
-
you'll never begin to understand that. Hallelujah.
-
We both felt the weight of his words. They were
-
heavy. And as we stood there in shock from the
-
encounter, the angel said to us, go! Like that.
-
We turned and we stepped from the platform. We
-
stepped at 222 feet. We didn't go down the ladder.
-
We stepped off into the air and instantly found
-
ourselves in the Chattanooga Airport at the top
-
of the mountain where the mountain ends. We were
-
standing at gate 12. 12 is the number of government.
-
Amen. I'll get to that here again in just a minute.
-
The gate was open and the lady at the gate said
-
to us, hurry, get on, we have held the flight
-
for you. We ran down the jetway and we boarded
-
and we sat down and we noticed that we were in
-
first class. That was nice. When we sat in the
-
bulkhead, row one, a gentleman from across the
-
aisle spoke up and said, you boys headed to the
-
mountain too, are you? It was a man named Ron
-
Phillips. I don't know if you guys have ever
-
heard of Ron Phillips or know Ron Phillips. Google
-
him, he'll bless you, hallelujah. He is a charismatic,
-
tongue -talking Baptist. Has a very large church
-
in Chattanooga. Actually, he stepped back and
-
his son is leading that church now. But what
-
I got from this, Ron is still a Baptist. They
-
hadn't kicked him out. They left him alone for
-
some reason. I don't know why. They pretty much
-
left him alone. Now, I was raised in the Baptist
-
church as well. I was a drug baby growing up.
-
My mama drug me to church every time the door
-
was open. I had the Sunday school pen to prove
-
it. Perfect attendance. But when they heard I
-
spoke in tongues, they told me, Greg, you've
-
got to go. Don't come back here no more. You've
-
got to go. And they kicked me out, but they let
-
Ron stay. I've got problems with that. And he's
-
got great favor there. What I'm hearing the Lord
-
say is that That God is getting ready to bring
-
a spirit -filled movement again into the Baptist
-
world. I've had other dreams, Ron, have been
-
in it. And I've had other dreams that have had
-
some things to do with this as well. I'll get
-
to that. I don't want to get ahead of myself.
-
It was Ron Phillips. Dutch said, hey, Ron, what
-
are you doing on this flight? Why are you headed
-
to where we're headed? Why are you headed to
-
Eagle Mountain? Ron said, because I'm an apostolic
-
veterinarian. And an angel appeared to me in
-
my home this morning as I was getting ready to
-
go fishing with my son. And he told me to board
-
this plane and go to Eagle Mountain. I had no
-
idea that you would be on this flight as well,
-
Ron said. And no sooner as he had said this,
-
we had landed at Eagle Mountain. I'd never heard
-
of an apostolic veterinarian. But it's a dream,
-
right? I guess you can have all kind of stuff
-
in a dream. But this becomes very important here
-
in just a minute. We walked down the ladder of
-
the plane into the tarmac. And we were met by
-
the same angel that we had encountered at 222
-
feet high, that fishing platform. And there we
-
met Kenneth Copeland whenever we stepped off
-
the plane. The angel nodded at Dutch, the apostolic.
-
We knew in the dream that this meant to listen
-
and to help Kenneth Copeland. Kenneth said to
-
us, this is serious. We have to hurry. So we
-
climbed into an SUV with Kenneth Copeland and
-
we drove out into a very large field. We exited
-
the vehicle and we saw the strangest sight. This
-
large field was filled with these. that had the
-
body of a sheep and the head of a lion. There
-
were thousands upon thousands of them in this
-
field and they were dying. These were creatures
-
that had the body of a sheep and the head of
-
a lion and they were dying and there were thousands.
-
was a very rare breed of sheep that actually
-
were bred so that at a certain age, they would
-
metaphor, change, into lions. That's a hard word
-
for a redneck tongue. This was a rare breed of
-
sheep that would morph into lions. He said to
-
Dutch, they've been stuck. in this form since
-
November of 2020. What happened November 2020?
-
An election. Are y 'all on YouTube or anything
-
tonight? No, y 'all not? That was stolen. I hear
-
the mumbling. I know, I know. Good, I don't want
-
to get you kicked off. You say, Greg, no, it
-
wasn't. It was. You're going to see that in the
-
near future. During that time in 2020, I was
-
privileged to be able to go to Washington, D
-
.C. into a hotel room with a very prominent lawyer
-
that used to be a mayor and look at two boardroom
-
tables full of documents that proved it was stolen.
-
I got to see that with my own eyes. And in this
-
dream, these sheep that were trying to morph
-
into lions were stuck in this state of morphing
-
from November of 2020 which was the election.
-
And I began to think about this. I thought, wow,
-
this event had an impact on the church. like
-
nothing that we've known in history and we didn't
-
even realize it. This is important. Kenneth began
-
to inform us that they were this rare breed of
-
sheep that morphed into lions. He said they've
-
been sick from, or they've been stuck in this
-
form since November of 2020. They should be lions
-
by now, he said. We're going to lose them all
-
if we cannot get them through this process. If
-
you haven't figured it out yet, you don't have
-
to be too prophetic to do it. They represent
-
the church. Right? So they're stuck between being
-
a sheep and a lion. Dutch said we have to get
-
them on their feet. Lions must be on their feet
-
and then Dutch decreed, lions to your feet. Immediately
-
angels begin to appear everywhere in this big
-
field and they begin to assist the sheep lions
-
to their feet. Now there are many people today,
-
again not in Oregon but in other parts of the
-
country, that hope deferred has made their heart
-
sick. And whether you realize it or not, many
-
in the church today have drawn back and said,
-
we don't want to get our hands slapped again.
-
We don't want to be disappointed again. So a
-
lot of the church has disengaged. Or some of
-
them have gone back and they have reconnected
-
their alliances with the elephant and the ass.
-
I'm just going to go back and do the same old
-
thing or I'm not going to do anything. I'm not
-
going to vote anymore. Let me tell you something.
-
The midterm elections that are coming up, they
-
are the most important election cycle that we've
-
ever been in. And family, if you don't get out
-
to vote, we're going to lose our nation. You
-
cannot afford to stay home. You must go vote
-
and you must get people to go vote with you.
-
This next part blew me away. He said, lions to
-
your feet. Immediately angels began to appear
-
and help these sheep lions to their feet. And
-
as Dutch was standing there, Dutch began to decree
-
this. He began to say, after they got to their
-
feet, he began to say, wind of God, blow upon
-
these lions and bring them into the power of
-
their true identity. The church has been stuck
-
into a place that we have not been living from
-
the power of our true identity. Amen. You were
-
never intended to remain sheep. I don't want
-
to litter on the platform, hallelujah. But what
-
we've got today, we've got a church full of people.
-
that have been sheep for 40 years. They've never
-
morphed into the lion. The lion represents the
-
lion of the tribe of Judah. The lion is a kingly
-
mantle. We've stayed in our sheepy mantle. Feed
-
me. Give me some still waters. Lead me here.
-
Help me, pastor. Help me do this. Pastor, pray
-
for me. You know, when I was... There was a time
-
I thought I was a pastor. And it took me a while
-
to get over it because I was told that's what
-
I was supposed to do. I'm called to ministry
-
and I got to pastor a church. I don't even like
-
people. I like y 'all. Y 'all are family. I told
-
the Lord one day, I said, Lord, if I could pastor
-
without people, I would be so happy. The next
-
Sunday, half of the folks didn't even show up.
-
And I said, Lord, I take that back. It got to
-
the point that people would come to me week after
-
week. Tony, you probably experienced this stuff.
-
Brothers just aggravating week after week after
-
week. They're coming. Greg, would you pray for
-
me? Greg, would you pray for me? My mama's sick.
-
My daddy's sick. My dog got run over. Whatever
-
it was, just pray for me. Pray for me. Pray for
-
me. I told, one time I said, I'm not praying
-
for you no more. I prayed for you enough. I'm
-
tired of praying for you and I'm not praying
-
for you. That's true story. I'm not praying for
-
you no more. You need to learn to pray for yourself.
-
I didn't know that was apostolic kind of creep
-
up with me and choke the pastor out. But if I
-
were the devil, I'm not. I would try to keep
-
people in sheep mode. And I would create sheep
-
pens and put shepherds there and let them shepherd
-
the sheep, never allowing them to break through
-
to a place of moving into the apostolic and the
-
prophetic. Because the apostolic is government.
-
Shepherd, pastor is maintenance. God is shifting
-
this house from a sheep pen to a throne room.
-
I want you to hear me. This is not a bad thing.
-
It's not a bad thing. It's a good thing. You're
-
getting ready to get some spoils. Sheep don't
-
get spoils. Depending on how hungry the shepherd
-
is, they become lamb chops. Hallelujah. You get
-
sheared. You're always losing your hair. Oh,
-
hallelujah. never intended you for to remain
-
sheep or little lambs. He intends for you to
-
step. and to morph out of a sheep into a kingly
-
mantle that you can begin to take territory for
-
him. That's why he said, do not fear little flock
-
for it is the father's good pleasure to give
-
you the kingdom. That's why he said, the kingdom
-
of God is within you. That's why he said, foxes
-
have holes and birds of the air have nests, but
-
the son of man has no place to lay his head.
-
Do you still want to follow me? That's why he
-
said, I'm putting you in positions that you will
-
love not your life even unto death. He's giving
-
us a responsibility to win a war that cannot
-
be won unless we step into it, not out of a shepherd,
-
sheepy mentality, but out of a mentality of a
-
king. I want to throw the microphone, but I have
-
to pay for it if I did, so I'm going to hold
-
on to it. I feel this in me. The thing is, God
-
wants all of you to transition, but the reality
-
is some of you won't because you're so stuck
-
on yourself. My needs, my problems, my blessing.
-
Amen. Well, we don't like those scriptures. I
-
don't like them either. I wish sometime God would
-
give me a holy eraser, Tony, and I could erase
-
for you. He said, Greg, today you get five. That's
-
all you get. You can take five and maybe next
-
year we'll give you five more. I would get rid
-
of those that say, bless those that persecute
-
you and pray for those that speak all manner
-
of evil against you for my sake. I'd erase those
-
out. But we can't, Brad. We gotta do it. Why?
-
Because when you can bless what's cursing you,
-
you can begin to reap a harvest out of a field
-
that they've hijacked. The way to get back in
-
the land and possess the land from those that
-
are cursing you and saying all manner of evil
-
against you is to bless them. Don't curse them.
-
Well, Greg, they're doing evil. How do I bless
-
them? God showed me this one day. I said, Lord,
-
I don't want to bless them. I don't want to pray
-
your blessings over them. He said, here's what
-
I want you to pray over them. Pray that I would
-
bless them in their kingdom assignment. Not in
-
anything else. Lord, bless them. Bless those
-
crook politicians in Washington. Bless them,
-
Lord, in their kingdom assignment, which means
-
if they can't get in their kingdom assignment,
-
they can't stay where they're at. Is this making
-
sense tonight? You are at a very critical place
-
as a body. God is asking you to shift from being
-
sheep to shift to be lions. He's placing a governmental
-
mantle upon you. And he's moving you into your
-
primary gifting. Brad, God's moving you two into
-
your primary gifting, the apostolic. Amen. Now,
-
as God's doing this, that doesn't mean, because
-
Brad's a pastor. He's got a pastor heart. He's
-
got teachers. He comes from Revelation. That
-
don't mean he's not going to stop loving you.
-
That means he's going to start requiring you
-
more to grow up. Amen. I told you, I'm thankful
-
I figured out I'm not a pastor. See, a pastor
-
put his arms around you. Said, baby, it's gonna
-
be all right. We're gonna make it through this.
-
You're gonna be good. You're gonna call me in
-
the morning. We're gonna pray together for the
-
next 31 days. We're gonna pray every morning
-
at four o 'clock and we're gonna get you through
-
this thing. And you know what? I'm gonna sell
-
my vehicle and help you get this thing paid.
-
And we're gonna do this. I'm gonna meet you,
-
we'll have coffee and we're gonna pray through
-
this thing. I'm gonna counsel you. But when you
-
come to an apostle with your problems, the apostle
-
says, what does the Bible say? The Bible says
-
this, go do it. That's what he says, go do it.
-
I'm not praying for you no more. No more coddling.
-
See, there are five gifts, not two. And each
-
of those gifts is a different expression of who
-
Christ is. See, he's a good shepherd who lays
-
his life down for the sheep. But he's also that
-
apostle that sits outside the temple and premeditates
-
whooping some butt. Yeah, Jesus, he didn't just
-
go insane for a few moments and go in there and
-
turn tables over. He sat outside and braided
-
a whip. That takes a minute. Amen? He had time
-
to repent of the fire in his heart. He had time
-
to talk the Father out of him, say, you know,
-
I'm the good shepherd. Yeah, but he's also the
-
chief apostle. Amen? We like the gifts that make
-
us comfortable, but we don't like the gifts that
-
challenge us and require us to grow up and to
-
step into the power of our true identity. I'm
-
telling you, whenever you can leave that sheepish
-
mentality and step into your kingly anointing,
-
you will be grateful for the process of transformation.
-
Oh, hallelujah. Hallelujah. you will become the
-
most dangerous thing in Oregon. The government
-
will fear you. The politicians will fear you.
-
They will try to kill you and shut you down and
-
take your land and let the river take your land.
-
They'll try to do all... that stuff they'll try
-
to tax you here and take this from you and put
-
you in jail why because they can deal with the
-
pastor mantle but they cannot deal with the apostolic
-
and the prophetic mantle because it's governmental
-
you ever wonder why Jesus would never allow the
-
Sanhedrin court to convict him Why did he stand
-
at the front of the Sanhedrin and never answer
-
them or speak to them? And when he got in front
-
of Pilate, Pilate said, he said, are you a king
-
like they say you are? Now Jesus talks. He says,
-
yes, I am. But my kingdom is not of this world.
-
Why did he not speak to the Sanhedrin? Because
-
they were a religious court. They were the wrong
-
court. He would not allow religion to convict
-
him. He needed another government man to condemn
-
him. Does this make sense? That's why the city
-
will help you grow your sheep pen. But once you
-
step into that kingly governmental anointing,
-
governmental mantle, they will come and try to
-
destroy you. This doesn't sound encouraging.
-
Hang on, it gets worse. Jim did a phenomenal
-
job the other night talking about stuff's already
-
done. Am I right? That was one of the best messages
-
I've ever heard on faith in my entire life. I'm
-
gonna plagiarize it. Not the first time, hallelujah.
-
But we forget about scriptures that says, greater
-
is he that is in me than he that is in the world.
-
That's not future, that's done, that's now. It
-
happened at the death, burial, resurrection,
-
ascension of Jesus sitting down at the right
-
hand of the Father and Holy Spirit coming and
-
filling you. He said, if you'll say to the mountain,
-
be thou removed and it shall be cast in the sea.
-
If you speak to the sycamore tree, it'll be plucked
-
up by the roots and thrown into the sea. He said,
-
whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in
-
heaven. Whatever you loose on earth, heaven agrees
-
with it. Because you are God's kingly representation
-
in the earth. And it is not the case of losing
-
because it's already been won. Amen. It's just
-
walking out the wind. Amen. He says that you're
-
more than a conqueror through him that loved
-
you and gave himself for you. Look at somebody
-
tonight and say, you're more than a conqueror.
-
Come on, tell them you're more than a conqueror.
-
Just as intense as that. You're more than a conqueror,
-
glory to God. How many of y 'all like boxing?
-
The sport, boxing. You violent bunch of people.
-
That's the only reason I owned a TV for a while
-
so Joanne could watch boxing. There's this Filipino
-
boxer named Manny Pacquiao. Y 'all ever heard
-
of Manny Pacquiao? Pac -Man, Pacquiao. That boy
-
can fight. Eight world championships in eight
-
different classes. Amazing. When he gets ready
-
to fight, he has to train. I think he does a
-
lot of it at Big Bear, California, down there.
-
in the mountains and he runs and he watches his
-
diet and he shadow boxes and he gets sparring
-
partners like the one he's getting ready to fight
-
so that he can understand how to approach and
-
build him a game plan before he goes in. He has
-
to run and he sweats and he gets bruised and
-
cut and all of these things he does and then
-
one day he gets in the ring for what he's prepared
-
for and then he boxes and he wins. They hear
-
Filipinos talk, he's undefeated. Hallelujah.
-
Everything else was stole from him. He's a conqueror.
-
But when he leaves the ring, there's this little
-
old bitty Filipino woman named Jinky. That's
-
his wife. She's waiting on him for the prize
-
money. She never bled. She never watched her
-
die. Maybe she did on that. We won't go into
-
that. That'd get me in trouble. But she never
-
ran or boxed. She never shadow boxed. She never
-
sparred with anybody. She never had to get up
-
at four o 'clock in the morning and go run. But
-
yet she got the prize. She's more than a conqueror.
-
See, Jesus has already won everything that needs
-
to be won and he's given it all to us already.
-
It's there. We've just got to walk it out. This
-
transition that God has you in, this morphing
-
from sheep to lion that God has you in, family,
-
has already been taken care of. God is just waiting
-
on you to say, I'm willing to go through the
-
process to become a lion. Hallelujah. Let me
-
move on. So Dutch had declared the wind of God
-
blow. Come into the power of your true identity.
-
As soon as he did this, made this decree, the
-
wind began to blow the wool of the sheep in such
-
a way that we could begin to see under it. And
-
as it happened, we could see that there were
-
thousands of ticks attached to every sheep that
-
was hindering them from transitioning into lions.
-
Thousands of ticks on every one of them. Somebody
-
said, Greg, that's politics. I said, that makes
-
sense. The election ticks, hindering them from
-
transitioning. Let me tell you something, family.
-
God is not political. He's governmental. God
-
cares about who's at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
-
He cares who we send to Congress. He cares who
-
you send to Salem. He cares about government
-
because he's a king. But he's not a politician.
-
Why? Because he has no competition. If we can
-
separate politics from government, we can begin
-
to see America come into her prophetic assignment.
-
Amen? Is the back door open? Kings are not politicians.
-
They're governmental entities set in territories
-
to protect and to enlarge boundaries. Here's
-
a lie that the enemies put into the church. is
-
that in the battle, in the battlefield, when
-
we go to the battlefield, we are the army of
-
the Lord. Nowhere in the Bible does it ever refer
-
to you as the army of the Lord. Nowhere. You
-
are not the army of the Lord. We've been taught
-
that. That gives us the concept that, well, we
-
go on the battlefield. There's some privates.
-
There's some corporals. There's some sergeants.
-
There's some lieutenants. There's some captains.
-
There's some majors. There's some generals. They're
-
on the battlefield. No, no, no. He never referred
-
to us as army of the Lord. The army of the Lord
-
is the host of the Lord, the angelic host. That's
-
the army of the Lord. So when we go on the battlefield,
-
how do we go? Not as lieutenants and generals
-
and privates. We go as kings. When you go to
-
the battlefield, you are going as kings to the
-
battlefield. And kings have several assignments
-
on the battlefield. One of those assignments
-
is to help direct the army. The angels. They
-
listen to you. You have to release them. I saw
-
36. They're still in here. They're going to get
-
released out of this place tonight. They're generals
-
in the room. They're waiting on a command to
-
go. They're stirring. to God. Hallelujah. Kings
-
go to help direct the army. They go to collect
-
spoil. The army doesn't get to spoil. The king
-
gets to spoil. Oregon is your spoil. And the
-
generations that call her home are your spoil.
-
Amen. They also go to decapitate kings. When
-
a king is defeated, In the scripture, they would
-
put their foot on the neck of the king and then
-
they would decapitate the king. You know what
-
that means? That means we've got to engage, capture,
-
and cancel every demonic entity that is trying
-
to make Oregon its own. Hallelujah. All these
-
ticks that we saw there, hinder them from transitioning.
-
When we saw this, Ron Phillips. The tongue -talking
-
Baptist spoke up and he said, I have what we
-
need in my doctor's bag. He pulled out a horn
-
of oil out of his bag. Oil, hallelujah. The Holy
-
Spirit, amen. He pulled oil out of his bag and
-
he gave it to me. And as I brought it to my lips,
-
I began to blow. from the bottle, from a horn,
-
the oil that was in it. The wind that Dutch had
-
decreed caught the oil and blew it over the entire
-
pride now. Covering every lion, sheep, killing
-
and removing every tick. You've got to live in
-
the glory to avoid becoming a victim of the principality
-
of politics. This was rather quick. And during
-
this time, Kenneth Copeland began to sing over
-
the lines a scripture out of 2 Samuel 22, 30
-
to 35. I want to read that to you. You doing
-
okay? All right. Let me read this to you. 2 Samuel
-
2, chapter, 2 Samuel chapter 22. There's that
2 Samuel 22 chapter mention
-
222 again. Verse 30. to 35. Here's what he says.
-
This is what Copeland began to sing over them.
-
For by you, I can run upon a troop and by God,
-
I can leap over a wall. As for God, his ways
-
are blameless. The word of the Lord is tested.
-
He is a shield to all who take refuge in him.
-
For who is God besides the Lord? And who is a
-
rock besides our God? God is my strong fortress.
-
He has set the blameless in his way. He makes
-
my feet like Heinz feet and he sets me on a high
-
place. Hallelujah. He trains my hands for battles
-
so that my arms can bend the bow of bronze. He
-
was singing a restoration and warfare. I can
-
run through a city. I can leap over a wall. As
-
he did this, We could begin to hear a deafening
-
roar begin to break out. The transition took
-
place. It was so strong that we could literally
-
feel the ground shake from their roar, kind of
-
like that big machine y 'all got back there.
-
Ron Phillips pulled a stethoscope. That's hard
-
too. From his apostolic veterinarian's bag and
-
he walked out onto the field and he placed it
-
on the belly of lionesses. We can now discern
-
what was a lion and a lioness. And he began to
-
shout, this was pregnant. And he would move to
-
the next lioness and he would listen and then
-
he would decree. This was pregnant as well. He
-
did this throughout the entire field. As he decreed
-
this in the dream, it was almost instantaneously
-
that the lioness began to give birth. There's
-
your harvest. They gave birth to sheep. Lions
-
are now giving birth to sheep. It's a dream,
-
folks. These sheep began to turn into lions very
-
quickly. These young lions began to roar. Kenneth
-
was still singing 2 Samuel 22 over them. As this
-
continued, the birthing of the sheep to lions,
-
the lions began to make their way to the tarmac
-
where Kenneth had many planes waiting. They boarded
-
the plane that Kenneth had facilitated to be
-
there on that tarmac. And these lions, they looked
-
brilliant and very beautiful as they were boarding
-
the planes to get ready to go to the nation.
-
As the planes were flying off, Kenneth approached
-
us and he said to Dutch, I'm so thankful you
-
guys were not late. We would have missed this
-
flight. We are called to release lions, not raise
-
sheep. I'm gonna say that again. We're called
-
to release lions, not race sheep. Look at your
-
neighbor and say, you're a lion whether you realize
-
it or not. At this point in the dream, the angel
-
walked up to Dutch and handed him a handful of
-
papers. I could see on the top of the papers
-
that it was a flight manifest. And the angel
-
spoke to Dutch and he said, seal the manifest
-
with your ring. This will activate. Operation
-
Release the Roar. And he says it's over America.
-
This is part of the Father's promise of redeeming
-
all. Dutch did as was required and we watched
-
the planes begin to fly into the sky to take
-
these lions into this nation. God is giving sheep
-
pens. That's not a negative. He's giving people
-
who are used to being sheep opportunity to transition
-
into lions. All over this nation. Right now it's
-
happening all over America. There are key ecclesias
-
in every state that God is asking to be the tip
-
of the spear. To say, we'll run ahead, we'll
-
be forerunners, we'll be apostolic, we'll run
-
ahead and make a way. We'll sacrifice and we'll
-
lay down and we'll do everything that needs to
-
be done to see our nation shift back into what
-
God has called her to be. Can I get our piano
-
player to come up for just help me out? We'll
-
shut this thing down. Our assignment, family.
-
Listen very closely. This is gonna, and again,
-
Brad, I have to fix this one. This is past Tony.
-
Nowhere in the Bible does God tell us to get
-
people to heaven. Go read your Bible. It's not
-
in there. He never tells us to get people into
-
heaven. He tells us to get people born again,
-
but he tells us to get them into the kingdom.
-
Not in heaven. I see y 'all looking at me funny.
-
Don't trust me on that. Go study it out yourself.
-
Go look it up. There you go. Go look it up. We're
-
called to get people into the kingdom. Heaven
-
does not hold your assignment, nor does it hold
-
your future, nor does it hold your destiny. The
-
earth does. Your assignment is here. Being saved,
-
it means to be recovered, restored, and preserved.
-
It's about your assignment here. You're recovered
-
from the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom
-
of light. You're restored into God's original
-
idea about what you were supposed to be back
-
in the garden. Rulers, those at Radah in the
-
earth. Those that are fruitful and multiply and
-
subdue. Military word. Subdue. That means there
-
was something in the earth that Adam had to overcome.
-
It wasn't a prophecy thrown 2 ,000 years in the
-
future. You were never intended to sit in seats.
-
You were intended to take mountains. You were
-
never intended to live in a world to where you
-
were trying to survive your problems. You were
-
created to create a world, to create an environment
-
to where you grow into a place that problems
-
say, don't cross their yard, let's walk around.
-
Because it's not to our benefit to enter their
-
house. I'm looking at some of the most dangerous
-
people on the planet tonight. I'm looking at
-
people tonight that the enemy hates the idea
-
of you stepping into the power of your true identity.
-
I'm looking at folks tonight that the enemy says,
-
I've got to do something to keep that ecclesia
-
that they're a part of from becoming an apostolic
-
hub. Because when you step into that apostolic
-
anointing, that apostolic calling, that apostolic
-
mantle, it's not that you become more. The scripture
-
says that those that are striving to be apostles,
-
they'll be made fools of. How many of you want
-
to sign up for the fool farm? Hallelujah. Being
-
an apostle is not about having people carry your
-
briefcase. I carry my own briefcase. It's not
-
about having people kissing your ring or shining
-
your shoes or coming over, you know, show your
-
faithfulness to the apostle, go mow his yard.
-
No, that's religious, demonic garbage. Apostles
-
approach leadership the same way Jesus did, and
-
it was with a towel on his arm. Ready to wash
-
feet. He told Peter, I'm going to wash your feet,
-
boy. I know you got toe jam, but we're going
-
to take care of that. And Peter said, you can't
-
wash my feet. He said, if I can't wash your feet,
-
you can have no part of me. So apostolic ministry
-
is servant leadership ministry. To activate you,
-
to commission you, and to release you. An apostolic
-
house is not about how many people you seat.
-
It's about how many people you send. Y 'all better
-
get ready. Y 'all getting ready to get sent.
-
Amen. the world of business in a greater way,
-
sent into government, sent into education, sent
-
into every sphere of society and to go into that
-
mountain and go to the top of that mountain and
-
recreate the culture and rewrite the rules. To
-
uproot corruption and bring in righteousness.
-
You know what we started doing at our Apostolic
-
Hub in Franklin, Tennessee? People that own their
-
own business. We didn't just tell them, go make
-
money in time. We didn't do that. We brought
-
them up. We laid hands on them and commissioned
-
them and sent them into their sphere of influence.
-
Teachers, the same way. People in government,
-
the same way. Do you know what happened with
-
us? Whenever we begin to do that, especially
-
in government, Tony, there was a favor that came
-
upon us in government. People in state governments
-
and people in the national government begin to
-
ask a redneck, what do you think about this?
-
That's dangerous. Because sometimes rednecks
-
have flashbacks instead of flash forwards. But
-
when you do this, there's favor. Not just favor
-
to live and survive like sheep, but favor. to
-
step into your kingly anointing and take back
-
territory. There's a prophetic word that was
-
spoken over America in 1607 by a man, a clergyman
-
named Robert Hunt. Robert Hunt came over with
-
three different ships from England. fleeing religious
-
persecution and they were looking for this place
-
to have freedom to worship God. And when they
-
got this, it took them like three months to do
-
it. And when they got right out of a place we
-
know now as Cape Henry on the East Coast in Virginia,
-
he would not let anybody from those ships disembark.
-
You got to understand, this is not Carnival Cruise
-
Line. This is a ship. It's nasty now. They didn't
-
have toilets. Filthy. Nasty. He said, this is
-
what we're going to do. We're not getting off.
-
Even though we can see the shore, we can get
-
to the shore, we're not getting off. We're going
-
to stay right here for three more days and fast
-
and pray. Robert Hunt, historical doctor, you
-
can look it up. And then after three days of
-
fasting and praying, they tore one of the masts
-
off of the ship. They took it aboard. They made
-
a cross. And they planted that cross in the soil
-
of Cape Henry. And Robert Hunt began to prophesy
-
as they did that. He began to declare that this
-
new world will receive the gospel of the kingdom.
-
He said, and we will take the gospel of the kingdom
-
from this new world to the shores of every nation.
-
A prophetic word over a new nation that was being
-
birthed. Part of our assignment, family, is not
-
to help people find the American dream, but to
-
find God's dream. And God's dream and God's purpose
-
for America is to take the gospel of the kingdom
-
into every nation of the world. Notice what I
-
said, the gospel of the kingdom. Not the gospel
-
of salvation. Jesus never preached the gospel
-
of salvation. I thought he did. No, he didn't.
-
He only mentioned being born again one time in
-
the middle of the night to a temple ruler called
-
Brother Nicky. One time. Only time. It wasn't
-
even a public setting. He never told us to preach
-
a gospel of prosperity. He never told us to preach
-
a gospel of deliverance. Or a gospel of healing.
-
These are not gospels. These are manifestations
-
of the gospel of the kingdom. Prosperity is a
-
manifestation of the kingdom of God in you. Healing
-
is the same thing. Deliverance is the same thing.
-
All of this is manifestations of the kingdom.
-
We have brought a message of salvation to the
-
nations of the world. But I submit to you tonight
-
that we have been preaching the wrong message.
-
We've been preaching a pastoral message that
-
Jesus never preached. He only preached the kingdom.
-
That's it. And he only said what the Father said.
-
And he only went where the Father sent him. He
-
only did what he saw the Father do. So if Jesus
-
did that, we need to do that. Your nation does
-
not need a crusade in a coliseum. That'll come.
-
But what it needs now is an apostolic people
-
that will rise up and say, Father, inject me
-
into the culture so I can go and claim territory
-
for you. I'm going to live my life now as a king,
-
not as a sheep. As a lion. Is this all right?
-
Are we getting it? I want to pray. Would you
-
stand with me? I know y 'all been sitting a long
-
time. Your bones are going to sleep. Father,
-
this is a big order. This is something that rocks
-
our world. Challenge is everything, Lord, many
-
of us have been taught. It requires of us to
-
rethink. Think is hard for some of us. Requires
-
us to unlearn. It requires us, Father, to allow
-
Holy Spirit to come in and challenge our doctrine.
-
To challenge our belief system. to challenge
-
everything we know. Father, we give you permission
-
to do that tonight. We know, Lord, that you're
-
so graceful and you're so merciful. You're so
-
kind. You are the great shepherd that you will
-
help us navigate this assignment that you've
-
given us. And Lord, we know that it'll take time
-
and we know that it'll be a process and we know
-
that we'll grow into it. We just ask tonight
-
that Holy Spirit would keep us filled and keep
-
us fresh. Keep us in a place to where we can
-
hear you and for us not to lose sight of the
-
assignment, for us not to lose sight of the generations
-
that are depending upon us to be kings. Lord,
-
I thank you tonight that you're merging the streams
-
because we need each other. We need each other.
-
Pray in the spirit. I'm seeing something. Brad,
-
I want you to come stand with me for just a minute.
-
I want to pray over Jim. Father, I bless this
-
man from the word of faith, from being a son
-
of Kenneth Hagin. I thank you for him and the
-
ministry that you've given him and the impartation
-
that he brought into this house and that went
-
around the nation, Lord, as he preached. We bless
-
him tonight. Tony, lay your hands on him with
-
me, brother. We declare, Lord, that there's a
-
transition taking place with him and in him.
-
He's coming into his apostolic assignment. I
-
hear the Lord saying, Jim, that out of what God
-
used Brother Hagin to birth, that his prophet's
-
mantle was taken, was received by someone. I
-
believe that was Brother Hagin. I mean, Brother
-
Copeland. but his apostolic mantle has not yet
-
been picked up. And God is saying tonight that
-
he is cloaking you with that apostolic mantle
-
that Brother Hagin walked in. And there is a
-
favor that is coming upon you, not only in the
-
word of faith, but in many streams, God's going
-
to begin to open doors for you. And you're going
-
to begin to see an infusion of the call of the
-
mantle that God is cloaking you with tonight.
-
So Father, we say tonight that that apostolic
-
calling, that apostolic gift that he is, Lord,
-
is coming into a place of manifestation in a
-
greater way. Oh, Lord, yeah, he'll still teach.
-
The teaching gift is there. It'll be there, but
-
it's going to be a secondary thing to what you're
-
getting ready to do through the apostolic mantle.
-
They'll be linked together. They'll be woven
-
together. Lord, tonight, I ask that you give
-
him laborers. For the fulfillment of the assignment
-
that you've given him. I pray tonight that you
-
give him supernatural resources. Way beyond anything
-
he could ever imagine or think. Lord, not just
-
money, but God, everything that comes with the
-
assignment, we call it forth now in the name
-
of Yeshua. Father, give him favor. Give him open
-
doors. Cause people that normally wouldn't like
-
him to start liking him. Calls people that normally
-
wouldn't notice him to start noticing him. And
-
Father, I thank you as you're giving him open
-
doors. Lord, it's not just open doors into church
-
buildings, but it's open doors into ecclesias
-
that are ready to be activated into what he carries.
-
But not just that. Jim, there are doors that
-
God's getting ready to open for you in business
-
people. In companies. I see the Lord opening
-
doors for you in Fortune 500 companies. To be
-
able to go in and bring the message and the mantle
-
that he has given you. The nations are going
-
to start opening up to you. Nations that have
-
these equivalent to these Fortune 500, even Fortune
-
200 companies. They're going to begin to open
-
up and they're going to say, come tell us how
-
we can have faith. God's also going to open up
-
relationships for you in government. And you're
-
going to sit with governors. You're going to
-
sit with congressmen. You're going to sit with
-
judges. The Lord's even going to allow you to
-
sit with those that are in parliament, prime
-
ministers and kings. And the mantle and the message
-
that you carry is going to shift from just being
-
that of a teacher anointing into an apostolic
-
anointing. And you'll not be an apostolic teacher.
-
You'll be an apostle who teaches. So Father,
-
tonight I bless my brother and as we lay hands
-
on him, we decree. this done now we ask you to
-
give him wisdom and revelation and understanding
-
as you navigate this with him Holy Spirit as
-
he moves into this he will begin to see results
-
in a fashion that he's never seen before I declare
-
the shift is in motion in the mighty name of
-
Yeshua I just saw a garment come on you. And
-
I hesitate to even say it. It resembles something
-
of like a Catholic garment, but that's not what
-
it means. But it was totally white with buttons
-
in the front, but red buttons, red thread that
-
covered the joints at every place. And I just
-
saw it on you. I saw you holding it. golden chalice
-
and I saw you breaking bread. I saw this level
-
of authority coming on you and that I knew it
-
represented holiness and righteousness. I also
-
knew it represented the power of the blood of
-
Christ. That that was the theme that was at every
-
joint of this white garment and it was also the
-
buttons that were laced. And I saw you sitting
-
and people coming to you to receive communion
-
from the cup. There was a new mantle of authority
-
coming on you. And Father, he needs the supernatural.
-
He needs to be able to see, he and Aaron both,
-
in the unseen realm. They've asked Lord for this.
-
They ask us to agree with them. And we come into
-
agreement with them tonight that they will be
-
able to see in the unseen realm in a way they
-
never have before. They'll be able to discern
-
angels. They'll be able to see them, partner
-
with them, release them on assignments. They'll
-
be able to see into the cloud of witnesses and
-
the partnership that goes on there. They'll be
-
able to pull things from the unseen into the
-
seen, Lord. And they'll dream, dream, dream,
-
dream. Aaron, there's prophetic dreams that God
-
is going to begin to stir and release through
-
you. There's a prophetic anointing upon you.
-
We activate that in you tonight. So Father, it
-
opens up. It opens up. It opens up. And the Lord's
-
gonna send you into the camp, back into the high
-
places of where the word of faith has been. And
-
the Lord said, don't worry about those that hate
-
you. you, they hate me too. For they have given
-
their hearts over to a pharisaical spirit. They
-
become satisfied with revelation and no manifestation.
-
The Lord says, I'm going to use the apostolic
-
mantle that I put upon you and you're going to
-
go in and bring a fresh wind. A fresh wind and
-
there will be many, especially in the younger
-
generation. They will say, this is what we want.
-
This is what we're looking for. We need this.
-
And you'll be able to bring that impartation.
-
There'll be many that are older that will say,
-
no, you're trouble. Stay out of our church. And
-
the Lord says, I don't need their church. Well,
-
they'll meet you in a park. They'll meet you
-
in a coffee shop. They'll meet you in a classroom
-
somewhere. And they'll begin to receive the ability.
-
To be part of the movement of the merging of
-
the streams. So Lord, we decree that over Jim
-
and Aaron tonight. In the mighty name of Yeshua.
-
Can I do one more thing? I know it's 9 .07. I
-
feel that we're supposed to pray, lay hands.
-
I'm going to go ahead and use. Different language.
-
Can I use different language? I'm going to lay
-
hands on your apostle and your apostleette. And
-
we're going to commission them. If you guys remember,
-
I said I'm here for your apostle. You guys remember
-
I said that? Did you remember? How many of you
-
remember? So I want you guys just to come right
-
here. The Lord told me to do it in the altar.
-
And that from the altar, this will never be a
-
stage, but it'll be a platform. A platform is
-
a place things are launched from. Stage is where
-
performance is. So Tony and Jim, I want you to
-
come. Would y 'all stretch your hands this way
-
and just pray in the spirit? Because when you're
-
praying in the spirit, we make sure we're praying
-
the right things, right? Lord, I lay my hands
-
on Brad and Jen tonight and we thank you for
-
who they are. Lord, the pattern in the scripture
-
is that Apostolic leaders recognize apostolic
-
leaders and they lay their hands on them as a
-
vote of yes, this is that. And in doing so, Lord,
-
there is an activation and a deployment into
-
the assignment, the new assignment, the apostolic
-
assignment. There's a grace on it, Lord. There
-
is a grace. So, Lord, we lay hands on Brad tonight
-
and Jen and I and we say to you, we see your
-
apostolic gifting. We see the apostolic assignment
-
and the apostolic ecclesia that God has given
-
you and we commission you tonight in the leading
-
of that, in the perfecting of that, in the activating
-
of that, in the sending of that into the state
-
of Oregon, into the nation and also into the
-
nations of the world. We declare over you tonight
-
that you will be received differently. differently
-
we declare as we honor you tonight in this commissioning
-
that others will honor you especially those that
-
you lead they will begin to even correct how
-
they refer to you for we draw out of a man and
-
a woman by that which we recognize them to be
-
we recognize your apostleship And we declare
-
over you tonight that you are stepping into your
-
primary calling. And you are going to call sheep
-
to turn into lions. And you're going to release
-
a governmental mantle that you wear over the
-
people. The people in their assignment. will
-
become apostolic. Even though they're not apostles,
-
they're going to become apostolic because of
-
the DNA that you carry will be in them. The governmental
-
anointing that God's given you to help shift
-
this state activates tonight. Father, I lay my
-
hands not only on his head, but I lay my hands
-
on his ears. He's going to hear you differently.
-
He's going to hear you. From an apostolic filter.
-
He's going to see you from an apostolic perspective.
-
They're going to handle you from an apostolic
-
mantle. They're going to walk with you. Father,
-
they're going to walk with you through an apostolic
-
assignment. I release them tonight. into this
-
calling, this gift that they are to the body.
-
In the mighty, holy name of the Most High. In
-
the name of our King, Yeshua. And I serve notice
-
only the realm of darkness. This couple in this
-
house carries the mantle of the king. The scepter
-
is in their hand and his word is in their mouth.
-
I decree, Lord, too, that their mouth will begin
-
to speak. And so now the wind begins to blow.
-
And the fire begins to burn. And the earth begins
-
to quake as the voice of God to your heart awakes.
-
For the assignment now has been given. And the
-
platform has been made. And you stand in a place
-
that only God has given you. To stand in. And
-
from this place, the anointing shall double and
-
triple and quadruple. And you will begin to walk
-
in the glory. You will begin to talk in the glory.
-
You will begin to see in the glory. And everything
-
that you've known will take on a new shape, a
-
new form, and a new voice, and a new outcome.
-
For that which I've called you to is high and
-
above that which you've walked in thus far. But
-
your preparation has actually been laid. And
-
now it's time to walk in this place. Thank you,
-
Father, for what you do. For the anointing that
-
will see them through. For the times ahead shall
-
be great and grand. The times ahead shall have...
-
the hand of God as a plan. And even though there
-
may be some times to look and to wonder, it is
-
this high place that will give you perspective
-
to run your race. It shall be clear, it shall
-
be precise, and it shall be right on time. Thank
-
you. I'll speak over you, Jen, tonight as well.
-
You're not to be him and he can't be you. But
-
the uniqueness of who God created you to be,
-
not only as a psalmist, but as a prophetess.
-
There's a stronger stirring and releasing of
-
the prophetic gift of the prophetess within you.
-
The seer prophet. So I say, dream life awake.
-
Come forth. Eyes begin to see in the Spirit as
-
you've never seen before, not only with clarity,
-
but with discernment. I decree, Lord, that the
-
words and I'm seeing this in the Spirit, the
-
words are alive. The words are moving. The things
-
that God prophesies through you as you begin
-
to describe what you see and what you hear, the
-
Lord says it will shift the atmosphere. It will
-
not be words of a prophet who prophesies personal
-
prophecies. You'll do some of that, but this
-
is a governmental prophetic mantle. I release
-
that in you. I release that over you. I release
-
that through you in the mighty name of Yeshua.
-
So the apostle and the prophet will walk together.
-
They'll go home together. Hallelujah. And they
-
will see, golly, this is so good. You will see.
-
Your lineage begin to find their exact spots
-
in what God's called them to do in the kingdom.
-
Your granddaughter and your grandson. She will
-
be a prophet and he will be an apostle. I see
-
him laying on your chest sleeping, catching the
-
rhythm of your heart. The Lord says as he does,
-
just let him hang around as much as he wants.
-
You're going to take him with you to the nation
-
because I saw a golden cord between here and
-
Washington, D .C. And he won't only just be an
-
apostle, Brad, he will be in government as an
-
apostle. God's already written his destiny and
-
his purpose to help break strongholds off of
-
this nation. He will be fiery. He'll challenge
-
you. If he challenged granddaddy, what is he
-
going to do to mom and daddy? Hallelujah. But
-
he'll be an apostolic leader that will lead his
-
generation out of Egypt. And he will have a connection
-
with God that will be like nothing you could
-
ever imagine. I mean, he will be known in the
-
unseen realm and they will rejoice when he goes
-
in and out. And don't get worried. He's gonna
-
be a cusser. He'll say some dirty words from
-
time to time when he becomes a young man. Don't,
-
Hold him back because it will be the language
-
of the spirit that his generation can understand.
-
He's going to be, and this is the way I saw it,
-
he's going to be like a Daniel Boone into his
-
generation. A pioneer. That's challenging, Lord.
-
Thank you. Thank you, Lord. It'll be a totally,
-
totally different. I'm telling you, this young
-
man. Tony, help me with this. You can explain
-
it. But he's going to have a Josiah mantle and
-
an Elijah mantle simultaneously. He will be a
-
wrecking ball to the kingdom of darkness. And
-
he's going to love to hunt. No, no, no. I'll
-
say something to the people. You know, when the
-
father was establishing David, God brought people
-
together to help to establish what God was going
-
to do. How many of you are hearing what I'm saying?
-
So they surrendered themselves to David and said,
-
whatever you need, we'll make it happen. They
-
protected David. They watched over David. They
-
honored David. Because they saw what God was
-
doing. And so a key to the glory is the unity
-
of the spirit. Okay. Let me tell you a few things
-
about leaders. We don't say everything that we
-
see. And sometimes we make decisions that you
-
go, I don't know about that. That's because sometimes
-
we know some stuff that we can't tell. Right?
-
And leaders, they're pioneers. They see further,
-
they see faster than their followers. But if
-
their followers will stay with them, their followers
-
will see more. Does that make sense to you? Okay,
-
so there are things that are on a need -to -know
-
basis. And when the time comes that you need
-
to know, look at somebody and say, it will be
-
released to you. And so I'm very excited. Much
-
of what I do anyway is behind the scenes. That's
-
a thing. So, but wasn't that a great word from
-
the Lord tonight? Let's give God a big hand clap.
-
We are so grateful for those who tune in each
-
week and have given generously to this ministry.
