blessing. Hallelujah.
-
Somebody said double blessing. Double blessing.
-
Yeah, my goodness, double, my goodness.
-
And yeah. So double this morning.
-
OK. My usual is 1 coffee every day.
-
This morning I'm like, OK, Lord, is this for because I really
-
need a double coffee. So I had two coffees this
-
morning. OK, I've just, I've just got
-
facing. I've just, oh, I don't say that,
-
but I had my 2 coffees. OK, well, normally I just have
-
one. But with all these late nights
-
driving back and forth to the conference and all that, some of
-
us don't just need the usual. Some of us we need a double
-
espresso. OK, so someone we don't just
-
need a a normal blessing, OK, we need a double espresso blessing.
-
So they get ready for a double espresso and waiting.
-
Are you ready for a double espresso and waiting OK for
-
those. So I've already had my 2
-
coffees. I've had brother and so I'm just
-
like excited this morning. So get ready because I've got my
-
double espresso. I'm ready for double.
-
How many of you Are you ready for double today?
-
OK, so I'm like, Lord, you know what?
-
Double up the service. Double unwanted double what's
-
happening in our lives. Double it, double hummus, double
-
down. I'm like, wow.
-
And that's what I've just been praying because this morning I
-
just been praying like Lord, double it, double your harvest.
-
OK, so double expression. Now let's get right, let's get
-
ready because I came with the word that will start your
-
focuses moments when God doesn't just give a blessing, but he
-
gives a double blessing. He gives AA double portion.
-
OK, so let's talk about double portion because today's message
-
is called double portion. OK, Right now somebody say
-
double portion. OK, so I'm only ready for double
-
portion today. Wait.
-
Yeah, we are ready for double portion.
-
Some hungry people. So that's why we're here today.
-
We are ready to receive all that heaven has for us when God has
-
for us. Double portion.
-
OK, So yes, Lord, give me a double portion.
-
Come on, say that with me. Give me a double portion, Lord.
-
Yeah, give me a double portion because we, we have got to, you
-
know, so cry out to the Lord. Let that be our heart.
-
We cry out for a double portion because listen, this is not,
-
it's not a lecture, OK? This is transfer impartation,
-
OK? Equipping, empowering, right?
-
And so it's not just a sermon, not just information, it's
-
revelation, impartation into your lives.
-
And so it is like a hand over, a hand off.
-
And I hear the Lord, he's saying that this is the double portion,
-
hand of moments. Hallelujah.
-
Are you ready for this somebody? This is a handover, OK?
-
And so when we say double portion, OK, we are talking
-
about receiving twice as much as the Lord would give us normally.
-
Usually, OK, receiving twice as much as what God would give you
-
normally, what you normally receive.
-
OK, so get ready for a higher real and next level dimension
-
because the Bible says God takes us from glory to glory.
-
So get ready for double glory. And so twice.
-
So we receive twice as much from God, twice as much wisdom.
-
OK, twice joy, twice grace. So twice the strength.
-
OK, twice the favour, twice the great double grace, double glory
-
55, twice the inheritance was interesting because I'm the
-
first born of 6 and my mom, we had six children in South Africa
-
growing up in Brits outside of Pretoria.
-
And then I studied in Pretoria and I moved to children.
-
Now the first born. If you go to twice the
-
inheritance, the first born would receive double portion.
-
I'm going to the book of the Deuteronomy.
-
It's all biblical to receive a double portion.
-
And so I remember one day, you know, when I was out food
-
shopping and I saw one of those signs that we all love buy one,
-
get one free and say, yeah, we, we like a good deal, right?
-
OK, we'll we'll have a good deal, which is like buy one, get
-
one free. But God says I have got a better
-
offer. Not just a little sprinkle, not
-
a little dag on a top up. Double gracing, double
-
restoration. Double Porsche.
-
Come on, Somebody shot double. Yeah, Hallelujah.
-
Tell your neighbor. Get ready for double Porsche.
-
Yeah, it's ready for double. Come on, Sonny.
-
If you are ready for the work today, come on, show double
-
Porsche. Yeah.
-
So let's go to go into Second Kings today.
-
So we're going to read if you're on your Apple online or
-
something, I'll just give you the scripture here.
-
I'll also put it up on the screen as usual.
-
Second Kings chapter 2 and we're going to pick it up verse 9.
2 Kings 2 chapter mention
-
And it says when they had crossed, Elijah said to Elijah,
-
tell me what can I do for you before I'm taken from let me
-
inherit a double portion. Somebody say double.
-
Let's just pray quick. Father, we thank you for your
-
presence in this praise. Lord, speak, let your word come
-
alive. Let there be breakthrough.
-
Let every Jordan part, let every burden lift.
-
And Lord, we declare that today is a double portioned handoff.
-
In the name of Jesus, we pray, Amen.
-
Not just this is powerful because Elijah is asking for
-
something to meet. Let me inherit a double portion.
-
That's big, don't you? That's not a small prey, OK,
-
That's not a small. It's not like asking for a nice
-
moment, not asking for a little encouragement.
-
He's asking for double. He's asking for something big
-
and huge for a heavens upgrade. And so Eliza tells him he said
-
OK, if you see me when I'm taken, it's yours.
-
If you see me when I'm going, it's yours.
-
Now, in other words, this isn't just something small, something
-
like it's not casual. It's not just for Bystone, the
-
spectators, you know, It is not for people that's half in, half
-
out, OK? This is for someone who stays
-
close enough to see it through. Can you say I meant somebody?
-
And so the Bible says that they were walking, talking, and so
-
they were going together. And then suddenly a chariot of
-
fire, horses of fire, a whirlwind, Elijah is taken up.
-
And so his mantle falls. And the Bible is clear.
-
It says Elijah saw it. Not sick of her, not through a
-
rumor, not through somebody's story first hand.
-
He saw it, OK. And so when Elijah then goes up,
-
the mantle falls, and Elijah tears his old clothes.
-
It's like he said, I cannot step into what's next, wearing what's
-
old, wearing the old habits. The old mind said, OK, what's
-
old? So then he picks up the mantle,
-
and then he walks to the Jordan. Now the Jordan is a picture of a
-
barrier and so I sense maybe in your situation a barrier and I'm
-
sensing A barrier breaking anointing in this place.
-
Yeah, get ready for breakthrough because what's that?
-
I'm sensing A breakthrough, a breaker anointing.
-
Yeah, that's that's the what I go a breakthrough anointing.
-
OK, breaking through. And yes, there's Jordan, this
-
barrier, and you know Elijah, he doesn't stand up and stare at
-
the barrier. He doesn't stare at this Jordan
-
and says, oh, no, I guess I'm stuck.
-
No, he strikes the water and he cries out, where is the God of
-
Elijah? Boom, the water pass and there
-
is breakthrough. Somebody said breakthrough,
-
breakthrough and he breaks through and he crosses over not
-
into Haitan. He crosses over with double Oh
-
my God, whoa, Hallelujah my God. He crosses over with financial
-
with a double portions. Hallelujah.
-
My God, somebody shot breakthrough.
-
Because that barrier, maybe it's in the workplace or in your
-
family situation or finances or health.
-
Some of you have been staring at it for a long time.
-
It's been heavy, it's been hard, it has been training, it's been
-
difficult barrier. But I am here to announce to you
-
today that barrier is about to break.
-
Oh, son of my son, Oh my saga he's about.
-
That's not here. Oh my God, Hallelujah.
-
I sense the anointing of the Holy Ghost of this place.
-
That barrier is about to write, Oh my God.
-
And when it writes, double comes with it.
-
Oh, Hallelujah. Can you shout Hallelujah,
-
somebody. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
-
Double comes with it. Somebody is about to
-
breakthrough. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
-
And if you pick it up, OK Oh, OK.
-
You got to grab this one. Now.
-
If you pick it up, that anointing.
-
If you pick it up, I believe God will part what's in front of
-
you. Come on, somebody.
-
If you pick it up, God will pass what is in front of you.
-
You pick up the annoying chain. Come on, the anointing makes a
-
difference. If you pick up the man.
-
So you pick up the double and God's going to make a way.
-
God's going to part what is in front of you.
-
And I decree and declare that you are crossing over, not
-
empty. You are crossing over with
-
double. Wow.
-
Somebody's about crossing over with double.
-
You crossing over with a man? Oh, double with authority.
-
Crossing over with double. Hallelujah.
-
Come on, somebody say that you are crossing over with double.
-
I want you to tell your neighbors that you are crossing
-
over with double. Oh, Hallelujah.
-
Yeah, yeah, yeah. OK, So your life will never be
-
the same again. OK.
-
You will not come out the way you went in.
-
OK. All right.
-
Somebody's getting this revelation with a life.
-
So when he. No, mate, OK, did not have the
-
double portion. So I just want to say that you
-
with the way you come in, you will not go out the same way.
-
You'll not go out into you'll go out double.
-
Hallelujah. You are coming out with a
-
mantle. Now let me give you Elijah's
-
pathway, OK? Because there's three steps, and
-
I want you to grab all of these three steps, OK?
-
From where you are to where God is calling you #1 ask big, OK #2
-
stay close #3 pick up the map, OK?
-
So ask big, stay close and pick it up.
-
Stayed with me. Ask big, stay close and take it
-
up. OK, Because that's the secret
-
sauce. That's the secret recipe, the
-
revelation, the keys. OK, I'm giving you today from
-
the word of God to receiving double Amen.
-
Because I'm believing God for us for a double portion.
-
So three steps. Are you ready for these three
-
steps? What now?
-
Let's start at the beginning, before the mantle falls, before
-
the suddenly environment, before the charity of fire, before the
-
Jordan fart. Let's start there in the
-
beginning because Elijah asks a question.
-
Elijah asks a student a question.
-
OK, tell me, what can I do for you?
-
So it starts with heaven. Still ask that question because
-
faith has a voice. Now I want you to see Elijah's
-
response because Elijah did not play it safe.
-
Yes, mentor, just pray for me. You know, let me just pray that
-
a small survival pray. Just help me make life a bit
-
easier, just to get through things.
-
Just give me a little blister. No, he asked Beak.
-
He used that moment, that opportunity to ask Beak to ask
-
for double. That's asking Beak.
-
Somebody say double so we both and ask me and I love this about
-
Jesus because Jesus pulls faith out of people.
-
Matthew chapter 20 the two blind men said next in the row here in
Matthew 20 chapter mention
-
Jesus pass by. Oh and I started not silently.
-
OK, so it's publical to shout right OK, it's in the Bible.
-
They shouted, now who tried to silence because religion, dead
-
religion tries to bring silence like a dead people.
-
OK, not in the church. The church is alive.
-
The church, we shout unto Jesus, we cry out because these two
-
live men, they heard Jesus, Jesus.
-
No, the moment Jesus is in the place, that's the moment to get
-
loud. That's the moment to cry out.
-
That's the moment to ask be with Jesus.
-
When we cooperated together, this is the opportunity I said
-
they showed Jesus help us, son of David, have mercy on us.
-
And the crowd of these people that tried to silence them and
-
tried to stop and shut them down, but they cried out even
-
louder. They have the volume louder than
-
lost the star stars directly, OK, louder than the football,
-
OK. And they cried out louder.
-
Nice Jesus and Jesus thought Jesus called it and he says this
-
this amazing same thing we see this Elijah asked the same which
-
took to his student and Jesus asked these guys watch this
-
Matthew 20. Jesus stopped and called them
-
What do you want for me to do for you?
-
But you know this is like an obvious question, OK, but but
-
you see, Jesus wants to pull faith out.
-
Yeah, these guys did not play inside.
-
They did not, OK, Gee, you know, just help us to, you know, go
-
through life. Survival prayers, Small, small
-
prayer. No, they did not pray something
-
small. They did not ask for something.
-
They did not ask. How can I just get me through
-
this week, through this day? They asked for something big,
-
they ask for a miracle. They say, let us see.
-
That means healing, that means a miracle that doesn't, that
-
cannot do that in their own strength.
-
This will require a miracle from him.
-
And these guys are blind. OK, This is asking a big prayer.
-
Heal us. That's a big ask.
-
And Jesus performed the miracle and Jesus healed them.
-
Listen to me, your miracle is under is on the other side of
-
your big ask your big bold request.
-
That's right, your miracles on the other side of a face cry
-
from your heart and cried out putting at the mark and say ask
-
big a bold request. Can you say I mean somebody Now
-
let me give you a testimony. A grandmother suddenly used she
-
had to take care of the little ones, her grandchildren, school
-
fees, pressure dolls, no extra money and the grandmother had to
-
take care of his grandchildren and so it would have been very
-
easy for her to just pray small prayer and like Lord help us
-
just to get through the week. This helped us to get through
-
this survival. We'll do our best.
-
But she didn't. She asked me, she asked God, you
-
are the God of abundance. You are the creator of entire
-
news. You are big.
-
You are more than enough of God. Make a way.
-
And so she went to the school to pay the school fees and they
-
they tell her you don't owe anything.
-
And that's not all. Somebody prepaid the school fees
-
in advance. Somebody partying in a year and
-
saying that, come on, somebody give God some price in this
-
place. Hallelujah.
-
Yeah. And so that's what I love about
-
God. The question is not can God do
-
it? God is all powerful.
-
God is going to tell you. The question is, are you asking?
-
Yeah, yeah, that's right. Are you asking Because Elijah
-
did not ask for scraps. Elijah didn't ask for small
-
pitch. Elijah asked me.
-
They ask for double. Somebody say I'm asking big.
-
Come on, say that I am asking big.
-
Say it again. I am asking big.
-
Yeah. And I'm expecting double.
-
I mean, now that's number one. Ask big now.
-
Yes. Next step.
-
OK, Big praise are powerful, but big praise needs to walk close.
-
OK. So #2 is stay close, right?
-
Because when we ask, we must stay in position to receive.
-
So you've asked big, but you've got to stay close in position to
-
receive that double portion, right?
-
So #2 is stay close. Now, double comes to people who
-
stay committed. Right?
-
Now, this is where a lot of people miss it because double
-
doesn't just fall on bystanders, spectators, people sitting on
-
the sidelines watching from a distance.
-
Double falls on people. It comes to people who stay
-
close, who stay committance. OK, And so when I say stay
-
close, I don't mean perfect. I mean connected God to his
-
house, to his work, to your assignment.
-
Stay close and connected to the people where God has prompted
-
you. Yeah, that's right.
-
Stay connected to the brothers and the sisters, the leadership,
-
the church with God has planted you to stay close and stay
-
committed where God has prompted you, even when it is
-
inconvenient. So let me just say this, There
-
is no perfect church now there's many Bible believing churches.
-
Praise God. Please ask the Holy Spirit to
-
take you exactly where God clients you and stay connected,
-
OK? Stay connected to the leadership
-
even when it's not easy, even when Constable does not have a
-
British accent and he's from South Africa, OK.
-
And he's not all polished, you know, like, you know, he's he's
-
a bit sort of radical and, you know, different accent and what
-
But you know, I don't want to go into but stay close to the
-
leader, that goddess rather than your life.
-
And we see this with the Bible. Why did the Elijah.
-
OK, because I want to show you the story between Elijah, his
-
master, his leader, his mentor and his student.
-
What happened with Elijah? Elijah in this story he was
-
tempted 3 times to leave his master.
-
Oh, I feel that three tests came to him over and over again for
-
Elijah to leave the disconnect. OK, three places that I'm going
-
to show you here in the Bible because this is biblical. 3
-
places for Elijah to disconnect from his leader. 3 exit reps
-
free of reps OK, And we see this Eventfile, Jericho and Jordan,
-
those three places we said because that's where Elijah the
-
leader told the student, stay here, there's an offer, there's
-
an opportunity there. Stay there free over and over.
-
He said three times for him to live.
-
We see the same thing with Jesus.
-
Remember Jesus, where people live, People were leaving.
-
OK, now is there anything wrong with Jesus?
-
OK, because many times, you know, people disconnect and they
-
blame the leader or the church. Now, OK, was there anything
-
wrong with Jesus? No.
-
OK that people leave Jesus. OK, right.
-
So Jesus turned to his own. I asked the same question.
-
Elijah fought like his servant. Now Jesus said Jesus, Oh, do you
-
also want to leave? Yeah, that isn't John chapter 6.
John 6 chapter mention
-
OK, Now, when you years ago, when we splanted this church
-
over 9 years ago, I had guys. I mean, there's one guy he said,
-
listen, pass the wall. Listen, you don't have to worry.
-
I'll take a bullet for you. OK.
-
And then when the bullet started flying, OK, I never saw him
-
again. I'm like, OK, so talk is James
-
like, yeah, yeah, when the bullets flow, I'll.
-
I'll take a bullet for you. You know, when things get really
-
rough on pressure, when the pressure hit, I'm like, OK, I've
-
never seen him. And so.
-
So what I'm just saying is that these three tests for Elijah to
-
leave, OK, to quit, to give up. But what I love about Elijah,
-
every time he said no, I will not leave you.
-
And he said this here at verse 2, I want to show you, but he
-
answers the same way every time he says here.
-
But Elijah said as surely as the Lord loves and as you live, I
-
will not leave you. OK, Hallelujah.
-
Now I love it because he made a decision that I will not leave,
-
OK, I will stay committed. I will stay in covenant, stay
-
closed because that's covenant language.
-
We talked about covenant, right, Covenant language, that's
-
commitment language, OK, Staying close, that's not, I'm not
-
quitting halfway, OK. And so somebody said I will not
-
quit. Yeah, said again, I will not
-
quit. Now Elijah had two metals.
-
The first one was the startup. That was not double motion, OK,
-
the first one, that's the easy one that was motivating him, you
-
know kick starting it. But the second one, and this is
-
where we're talking about today's a double portion and
-
this is where a lot of people miss it.
-
Majority of people easy one first, but fine, right.
-
We are talking, we are going deeper today, OK, because this
-
is now something because you see a lot of profits around that was
-
on the mountain spectacular. Who got the actual double
-
portion And you actually can't read that.
-
I incredible how many people were actually spared.
-
How many? And these are prophet
-
Christians. We're not talking about
-
Philistines. We're actually spectating,
-
watching from there. OK, who got the double portion?
-
Now I want you to show this because the second metal, that's
-
the one that comes from commitment, staying close.
-
OK, now here's the thing, because we all know how this
-
works. Everybody joins the gym in
-
January and the gym is packed. Everybody in the gym, green
-
smoothies. We've got our new exercise
-
workout clear and we are in the gym and people, it's just the
-
gym is full. I mean, the gym is back January.
-
Wow, new membership. We're right there.
-
OK, taking selfish, posting it on Instagram, Facebook, social
-
media, right there taking selfish on you know, it's it's
-
it's coming on. You know, the muscles are going
-
and so taking selfies by the treadmill, it's like training
-
for the Olympics, you know? And yeah, it's.
-
But then suddenly February shows up and all of a sudden the
-
jump's empty. It looks like it's, it's like
-
that one in the jump. It's like, it's like only a
-
private members club, Private members in the jump only It's
-
like what's happened to all the people in February.
-
The chips empty. OK, Now that's what I want you
-
to understand about commitment. Because you see, The thing is
-
motivation that gets you started in January, the motivations that
-
get you started. But commitment keeps you going.
-
It keeps us going. And the double portion does not
-
come to the January crown. The double portion did not come
-
in Elijah's first mantle moment. He did not receive the double
-
portion. That was the start him out.
-
He was working in the field. They got the man and he started.
-
He said goodbye to his family. Move butter.
-
That's the start. That's easy.
-
The second the double portion anointing comes to the February
-
crowd, it comes to staying committed.
-
OK, continuing to stay close. Somebody say stay close because
-
these three stops locations in the Bible.
-
We see that in the Bible, but these are real seasons that we
-
all go through in our lives. Every one of us goes through
-
temptations to leave, to quit, to give up.
-
Maybe it's in a family or in a work situation.
-
You, there's those temptations that's coming to quit, to leave,
-
to throw in the toilet, to give up.
-
Bethel was the first one and that speaks of uncomfortable,
-
unclear. You've been crying, but you
-
haven't seen anything much. The second one is Jerika.
-
Jerika a talks is a picture of resistance, pressure and
-
resistance. Big walls, high walls, delay,
-
opposition. That's the second one.
-
The third one is the Jordan is a picture of transition.
-
That is a barrier between where you are and where what's next,
-
your next level that God has for you.
-
That is the barrier of Jordan. OK, now here's what I have
-
learned over the years, and I've seen it many times over years of
-
ministry just before you get to your break, when you are close
-
to your breakthrough, and I'm just telling you now, you come
-
right there by people, the breakthrough, that's when the
-
temptation gets the latest to give up, to quit.
-
It gets not because you are weak, but because you are close.
-
Yeah, yeah, that's it. OK.
-
And Elijah said I will not leave you.
-
And I believe God is saying to somebody today, stay close, stay
-
faithful, stay connected, stay planted, stay connected because
-
you are closer than you think. Then you say I mean something.
-
Now maybe you feel discouraged that work and you are thinking,
-
well, they don't notice me, they don't appreciate me, they don't
-
pay me enough. And you'll be tempted to work
-
half full Efrain, half Efrain, working only half excellence.
-
OK, now the scripture says in Colossians 323, whatever you do,
-
work at it with all, not half. Whatever job, whatever company
-
you're working, we don't do half a job.
-
Work at it with all your heart as you work it for for the boss
-
or for the Lord. By the way, what we're doing
-
here is not for me or any leader, it's for God.
-
Whatever you do in God's church, whatever you do like to work is
-
not for, it's for Jesus. The Bible says when you work at
-
your workplace, and I know what it is.
-
I worked in Bristol as a registered manager for many,
-
many years running care homes. I know what night shifts is, I
-
know what handover is, I know nursery, I know all of that.
-
I know what is working with excellence because I thank God
-
we had the highest CTC rating without standing, going over and
-
above. I know what it is to be in
-
working in the corporate environment from South Africa to
-
the UK, working with a high level of excellence, including
-
ministry. Whatever we do, if it's now,
-
yeah, or if I'm sitting behind the desk, whatever, I'm working
-
for the Lord. We are working for the Lord, not
-
for human masters. So the Lord sees.
-
So that means that it's not your boss.
-
That is your source, your company, your business.
-
The Lord is our source. That's who you source.
-
The Lord is your source and so garnish ourselves and Psalm 75
-
talks about that promotion does not come from man.
-
And yes, it's like, okay, the Bosco promotion is a promotion
-
does not come from the East or the West promotion.
-
The Bible says come from God. It comes from the law.
-
OK, So when you keep on showing up with excellence and you keep
-
on working in your job with good spirit, with a good attitude,
-
with excellence, whenever you are working, listen, God sees
-
it. God sees even when you do what
-
is right and it's unfair. It seems unfair.
-
Co workers stress at work. God sees it.
-
If you do the right thing, He keeps records.
-
Yeah. OK.
-
And God knows how to open doors. He knows how to promote you.
-
Yeah. He knows how to promote you.
-
Make a way for you that no man can block.
-
No. When God opens the door, no man
-
could shut it. Yeah, OK.
-
No, man, come block. God has got a way of promoting
-
you because God sees your work and some of you need at this
-
point, maybe for your home, because staying close, and this
-
is so important because even in our marriages, staying close
-
doesn't just mean staying close. Staying married on paper, stay
-
faithful, stay humble, stay kind, stay with a a soft heart,
-
even when you could heart, heart in the heart, stay soft, stay
-
kind. OK, I remember the testimony,
-
you know, about Mike and Lisa. And so that was sweetheart high
-
school sweethearts. And so 15 years into the
-
Murrays, kids, bills, pressure, exhaustion started kicking in
-
and the romance didn't disappear.
-
The romance just got buried under a very busy life.
-
And so Mike stops thinking, well, this is this marriage is
-
not what I thought it would be. And Lisa, she feels unseen in
-
his misunderstandings. Now.
-
It's not one big explosion. This is a slow drift over time.
-
I guess that moment, well, maybe I should stop trying.
-
It's just easier to quit and to give up.
-
But something in him decided, I'm not leaving.
-
Cheat. I'm not leaving this much.
-
I'm not leaving this family. And they started doing small
-
things, fateful things. Scheduled date nights, started
-
talking real conversations, started praying together even
-
when it felt awkward. And so they got counsel,
-
marriage counseling instead of letting pride win.
-
Now, was it easy? No.
-
Was it instant? No.
-
But over time, something healed. Now here's what I love.
-
Because their marriage didn't just supply.
-
Their marriage got stronger. Their marriage got sweeter,
-
deeper, and now they're helping other couples.
-
That's what commitment does, I mean.
-
And so it keeps you in position for God to restore what the
-
enemy tried to drain. Is this OK?
-
Is this helping somebody? Are you with me?
-
Can I give you another one? OK, Two soldiers in a battle in
-
Germany. And these two soldiers, they
-
they're very close friends. And the battle is fierce.
-
It's explosions, it's bombs, it's gunfire, chaos everywhere,
-
just going off around them. And so these soldiers, they,
-
they then they finally hear the command to retreat.
-
And so they start running back. And this one soldier noticed and
-
he realizes my friends was. And so he panicked and he ran to
-
the officer. And then he just, you know, so I
-
need permission to go back and find my friend.
-
And so the officer says, listen, are you crazy?
-
That will be suicide. You are not going back.
-
And without missing a beat, he turned back.
-
He turned around and run back. Anyway.
-
Minutes later year, he comes back, hobbling with the lifeless
-
body of his breath. And so this officer, he also, I
-
said, I told you not to go. You could have been killed, OK?
-
You could have died. I knew that your friend was
-
already there. And the soldier said, no, Sir, I
-
got there just in time. And his last words were I knew
-
he would come back. Whoa.
-
I see if we come back, that's commitment.
-
That's covenant. Oh, come on.
-
That is staying gross even it costs something.
-
Covenant. That's what I want people to say
-
about us. I knew you would not quit.
-
I knew you would not quit on that match.
-
I knew you would not quit on that.
-
I knew you would not quit. I knew you would not quit on
-
your faith. Now let me ask you, what's the
-
area that you have been tainted to walk away from?
-
Where have you been tainted To stop trying, to stop believing,
-
to stop serving you, stop trying?
-
Where have you been tainted because God is staying?
-
State flaps, staplement, stay faithful, keep doing the right
-
thing, because you cannot see it yet, but up ahead is you cannot
-
see it yet, but just around the corner you're on the perch.
-
Up ahead is a breakthrough. Up ahead you cannot see it feels
-
resistant. Attempted to leave, but hang on
-
up ahead, said the whole ocean, please not kind of just before
-
the we go get it. I feel enlightening in this
-
place. You're still with me, judge.
-
So we talk about asking big talked about staying close.
-
OK, now the next one. Let's talk about the last one.
-
Pick up the mantle. Now in Scripture, the maximum
-
was a cup. It represents spiritual, it
-
represents according favor, assignment authority.
-
OK, now God, when the Mansell when the anointing, that is God
-
enabling you to do something that you cannot do in your
-
screen, right? So it's God's grace for what's
-
next, for the next level. Now let me break it out.
-
And you said the way you'll remember it and mantle.
-
OK and cool. That is God's, yes, resting on
-
the line. Amen.
-
OK, now there's moments when God will put something within your
-
reach and it's like an open door or it's like an opportunity.
-
It's like a business call, phone and e-mail, something that's
-
within like a match or a prompting of this first
-
scripture, something that God puts within your reach.
-
Don't just admire it, Planet. Pick it up.
-
Yeah, Come on with you. Pick up the opportunity.
-
Pick up the mantle. OK, That's not opportunity.
-
Now Elijah is taken up. When Elijah is taken up, the
-
mantle falls to the ground, right?
-
So Elijah, he's taken up. He's gone.
-
But what's the mate? The mantle, Right.
-
That's the. And Elijah does something that
-
shifts and changes everything. He picks it up.
-
Come on, somebody are you getting?
-
Yes, he picks it up. And he steps into another level,
-
another world. He steps into his poll.
-
Big ask. His request becomes realistic.
-
And there is a transfer. There is an importation, there
-
is an anointing, there's a tronsters, there is a hand a
-
handover OK, we know what what handover is after 9 shifts.
-
I've done the stop right. This is what happened last
-
night, handing over to the next go changing of the guards.
-
Right now there's the transfer handover.
-
Think about because I used to run a lot.
-
I mean, I one is falling into hurdles.
-
I did 100. I I want somebody records.
-
The other day they phoned me like after like 26 years or
-
something I said finally somebody broke your record at
-
high school. You know, I'm like, OK, my mom
-
phoned me actually. He's like somebody finally broke
-
your record. I've been standing for years,
-
but what I'm saying is I know what what a relay is because we
-
we have many of those relays. You know, you've got to get the
-
bats in that's handout. So think of this as Elijah's
-
going the largest receiving. So there's this handout because
-
the entire relay race can be won for lost in the add on.
-
Gee, that's I'm telling you, this is a this is an intense
-
moment. This is a glorious moment of a
-
handoff moment today. I'm just I'm just sensing
-
something in this because the entire guys would want to lose
-
in the handoff. So this mantle that falls, this
-
is like a baton hand over. I fell in this place, my God.
-
And so the baton listen, and this is the big deal because the
-
bat that could be right there and I've been in those fun and I
-
I would sometimes because I had a great stop.
-
So I would go start and on the straight, I would go and that
-
bat's in my hand. I just I know, listen, my buddy
-
and he could run because I would do the first start and then he
-
would do the back straight. I'd like please grab this back.
-
You've got to win that medal. I'm telling you, when you watch
-
celebrity, you see the same thing because they get ready.
-
That person they cannot stand lying around looking somewhere
-
else being spectacular. Just they got to be here.
-
They're going to like just I'm ready for this bad.
-
Come on and that relay and I'm off and I and I'm right there.
-
You see, The thing is that relay race that that's it is there.
-
But here's the thing. Are you going to grab it?
-
That's the feeling that are for my next.
-
Break in the race. Are you gonna grab it?
-
Because I'm giving it to you. Oh, Gee, I feel the anointing.
-
Are you going to type this? Who's going to pick it up?
-
Who's going to pick it up because I've cut it?
-
The anointing is dead. That's not the thing.
-
The Batson is dead. It's within range.
-
It's there. Who is going to take it?
-
Because listen, the majority of people, the prophets reading, a
-
couple of prophets were sitting spectating once based on a lot
-
of spectators start looking for somebody.
-
If it's one somebody, then who's going to grab it because that
-
anointing is in this place. Oh my God.
-
God is saying this is a transfer.
-
This is a handover. This is a hand of a transfer.
-
This is a new season. I feel it's so strong.
-
It's yeah, we don't know what's going to happen tomorrow.
-
Tomorrow's not guaranteed. Elijah was taken like that.
-
Gone. I've seen my maestro Kara for
-
*** in South Africa, the biggest, one of the biggest
-
Duggars to start this church, Kara for *** He saw the property
-
in South Africa. He said, listen, we granted the
-
church. I had no money.
-
He saw this property in Pretoria.
-
He said listen well I'm wiring the money out and I am funding
-
the Church of this church now. He drove our nail spray there on
-
behind a truck and it's a mine lorry and that big mine truck
-
slammed the rights and it's need what stays behind this anointing
-
this funds he see in the ground thousands this church souls have
-
been saved because he's funny. I didn't know we don't know if
-
we're going to be at all. He's gone like that.
-
I get the phone call. How not is it Mils fine and my
-
best friend was taken like that, but I thank God I went on to the
-
pen mountain. I thank God I said God, I thank
-
you every power that he gave me. Oh goodness, soft every every
-
round, but I every round that he gave me from South Africa.
-
It will not go to us. Not one.
-
It will go into the funding of the Kingdom of God.
-
Oh yes, And he was taken and he was young.
-
I mean, we're talking about taken at the anointing, the
-
fancy, right? Amen.
-
Amen. So the question is all because
-
it's here even now, it's what is it available?
-
It's not even OK. It is.
-
Who is going to pick it up? Yeah, because we are here now.
-
And we thank God for Smith Wiggles.
-
We thank God for Catherine, thank God for Billy Graham and
-
Iran. But they're not here.
-
Yeah. Billy Grant, We can't To be with
-
the Lord in heaven now we are. Yeah.
-
Who's going to pick it up? Because mantels don't help
-
spectators, People from mantels and power carriers, people
-
that's actually going to take their point in the mantle.
-
The calling is actually going to do something because that's the
-
fear of God. Somebody that puts hundreds of
-
thousands in my hands, say, listen, this money is blood
-
money. This money is for the Kingdom.
-
The fear of God. I will not even want to buy
-
groceries for myself because this is God's money.
-
This is the church money. I don't date.
-
I think this is, I've been since the field of God.
-
And you know, it's like grandpa had a toolbox.
-
Now the toolbox is not shiny or flashy, OK, but it's full of
-
tools to fix things, to build things again, provided for
-
family. But now grandpa died, grandpa's
-
gone, but his toolbox stayed gone.
-
And so the toolbox can stay in the garage, just stay there.
-
And just as a memory or that toolbox can be used, it can be
-
put to good use. It's legacy.
-
This is what we're talking about, transfer legacy, OK.
-
And so when you pick up the toolbox, you don't just remember
-
what he did. Like you continue what you
-
started. Yes.
-
And you use the tools and you continue and you take it further
-
and deeper and more, and you bolt.
-
That's the mantle. And so I will ask you again, who
-
is going to pick it up? Somebody shall.
-
Yes. Who is going to pick it up?
-
Who is going to pick it up? Yeah, yeah.
-
And I heard a dream about you. I love it because every week I
-
dream. I dream I dream I had a dream.
-
I see you guys are my dreams. And then in minute I get
-
immediate. I don't just get a dream, I get
-
a dream I see you my dream. I immediately I pray on industry
-
farmers, just like Jesus and Peter, I prayed for you.
-
But when you are tainted. No, no, Jesus, I'll take a
-
bullet for you. OK, Peter, close.
-
OK, you're going to deny me. But listen, I prayed for your
-
pregnant environment. So we prayed.
-
Yeah, because everyone goes through a season of temptation
-
to disconnect. But we pray.
-
We pray. And some of you had people
-
praying for you, covering you. Grandmother, my mom, my dad.
-
Parents praying for you. Leaders break me.
-
You uncover. They pray.
-
Do you think we're standing on the golf course and we don't go,
-
hey, let's go play rugby. I like.
-
No, no, you don't have a past. Listen, the weight of carrying
-
this, the responsibility. I'm standing before God, OK?
-
The souls that God has entrusted to me.
-
How about your breath? The leaders, the mentors.
-
So don't miss what they carry, OK?
-
Pick it up. My heart has been placing
-
mantels in front of me. Within reach.
-
These mantels, a mantle of evangelism.
-
Yeah. That's it.
-
Yeah. That's mantels.
-
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Mantels, Mantels.
-
Evangelism. It's right there.
-
It's with, it's with Enrich. Prophetic mantels.
-
Mantels. Healing miracles.
-
Science won the spirit. Mantels for business, wealth,
-
see within finances. Mantels for generosity.
-
Mantels to fight the Kingdom. Yeah.
-
Yeah. Those vessels all right with it.
-
God's placed them in front of those vessels.
-
Are there mantels for courage? Mantels for fight?
-
Yeah. To stop shrinking and start
-
standing. Yeah.
-
Those mantels, it's in front of you.
-
So what have you been living on the ground that God is stood in
-
within your reach? Because some of you have been
-
saying, well, I'll do it later. God is saying pick it up now.
-
Yeah. Somebody said, well, you know,
-
I'm not ready yet. Somebody said, well, I'm not
-
well, God's grace will carry you.
-
Oh, you know, apostle, I don't know if I am the one will
-
qualify. No, God doesn't.
-
He calls those that he he don't calls those that's qualified.
-
And that's what happened in my class.
-
OK. But he calls he he qualifies.
-
The one that's called and that's what happened about it was I was
-
in the book of world and God called me, but I was not
-
qualified. And that was the big thing to
-
me. I'm like God, I'm not qualified,
-
but God said to me, I've called you and I will qualify.
-
That's so don't think that put you off, especially when I buy
-
for that job in Bristol at Saint Monica Trust.
-
I was not qualified for that job.
-
In fact, my boss, we were working there in Bristol.
-
My boss, she had, she applied for the same and she had 13
-
years experience more than me. And so we both applied for the
-
same job, not without knowing I was not qualified, but I got the
-
job. My salary went sky high.
-
We went to the Bahama. I'm like, Oh my goodness, this
-
is amazing because God promoted me to such a level above my job
-
by my loss. God said don't worry about the
-
qualifications. We get you the job and then we
-
get you qualified. And then I started studying and
-
I got my degree just now, often my Sports Studies, I've got my
-
PPQ levels and all of those. So you get out.
-
So will you pick it up? OK, Because I'm not quitting,
-
I'm not leaving. I am picking it up.
-
Somebody say I'm picking it up. Yeah, I'm picking it up.
-
And when you pick it up, you don't stay the same.
-
Yeah, come on. Your life don't stay the same.
-
Thanks, Chef. Yeah.
-
Yeah. Your whole life, chef.
-
You step into what God called you to me.
-
I never knew I'd be Boston like I wanted.
-
I was trading Olympic athletes. I was training in South Africa.
-
All they've got. All of it.
-
I know the top from France where I won't mention names, but all
-
of their famous target South Africa and Dragon Room.
-
I knew them. I was a man's dead.
-
I'll be I was like I'm saying, but USA company offered me it
-
was all policies Ferrari. It's like listen, I what did you
-
come and work for me? I said 5000 CDs Yeah listen,
-
come and sell all these supplements go to every disk in
-
pharmacy go I want you and the favour of God was started almost
-
on my life. But what I'm saying is that when
-
then going to comes on your life.
-
God will open doors. Your life changes when you pick
-
it up. When you pick it up.
-
Yeah, once you pick up the mantle.
-
Now, I just want to keep this disclaimer because once you pick
-
up the mantle, life doesn't always get it's Yeah.
-
And so you're like, OK, you have more.
-
You step into more, but there's more resistance.
-
Yeah, you're by God, but there's, you feel more pressure.
-
That's right. And that doesn't mean you've
-
missed it. That's a sign that you've done
-
the right thing on the right track.
-
Yeah. Yeah.
-
Plus, can are you with me, somebody?
-
Yeah. Because that is where trouble
-
becomes double, because God never wastes trouble.
-
OK, he uses it. He uses the trouble, but the
-
figure to qualify you, to strengthen it, to restore you,
-
to vote you up Hallelujah. And so you need to hear this
-
because your trouble did not cancel your calling.
-
Your trouble prove that didn't can cancel.
-
It's not lights. I'm not funky.
-
The guy's like, oh, pray for me right now.
-
I want double for your life, OK? It's like can do you know their
-
level of lighting this on this mantle, their responsibility.
-
Zechariah 9 verse 12 says even now I announce that I will
-
restore twice as much to you even now.
-
I restore double even now while this trouble, even now, while
-
the paperwork is missed, even now when the tears are still
-
fresh, even now when the finances are in trouble.
-
I will restore doubt even now. Wow in the difficult, in the
-
that's when trouble becomes double blessed.
-
God restores double even now. Somebody said even now.
-
So trouble didn't cancel you. OK, it wanna fight you.
-
So if you've been in a season of trouble, then you've gotta buy.
-
If you've been in a season of difficult trouble, then get
-
ready for double double blessing.
-
Trouble means double. Now when there's trouble, get
-
ready for your double blessing. OK, come on, somebody say
-
trouble means double. Double as I617 says, instead of
-
your shame, you will receive a double motion.
-
Instead of this guy, you will receive choice inheritance.
-
And so you will inherit a double.
-
It's double call. It's I'm I'm in the Bible and
-
you're the last thing. Joy will be yours.
-
And so God replaces shame with double.
-
He replaces the scrapes with rejoicing.
-
So he brings you out of trouble with double.
-
Amen. And so now we all want the
-
double blessing without walking through the trouble first.
-
Let's just be honest, OK? OK, I get it.
-
We want the double without the trouble, OK?
-
We just be honest here. But most of the time they are
-
connecting the trouble and the double.
-
The trouble and the double. They come as a package.
-
OK, OK, it's quiet in this Methodist here that's Reformed.
-
It's very quiet. OK, but I got to give that this
-
time I I have to preach the full gospel.
-
OK, Yes, you can. But the whole one, we got to
-
preach it in context and show you the whole word of God.
-
OK, So yes, it's quiet. Maybe not a lot of high means,
-
but I believe you're stupid this morning.
-
OK, but so yeah, the calling on your life, and I know it's not
-
easy to hear, but the calling on your life attracts them.
-
OK, now show me the level of trouble and show me the level of
-
quality, OK? And so the enemy thinks that
-
he's burying you, but God's drafting you.
-
The enemy thinks he's breaking you, but God is building you.
-
And so let's look at Job because Job was a good planning on and
-
God and Job that trouble, he's a phantom in the Bible.
-
He's a good man Job, but he had trouble.
-
He'd lost health issues. Christ is confusion.
-
OK, heartbreak. But yes, what you need to know
-
is that nothing can happen to you without God's Commission.
-
And that is amazing. I love that because God's
-
Commission, he said down with God.
-
You see, The thing is, the Bible says the enemy had to ask for
-
permission. He had to ask because God said
-
down. So that means that God is not
-
just in control of your life. God is also in control of your
-
enemy. Yeah, God.
-
Yeah, God said, God please. And so Joe, what he went
-
through, we know he went through a lot of trouble.
-
He received double blessing. The level of trouble he got
-
double blessing. OK, it says here he received a
-
double blessing jug 4210. The Lord restored his fortunes
-
and guided twice as much as he had before.
-
OK, that's double. And got twice.
-
Not really. Not just survival.
-
Double every double blessing. Double.
-
Sheep, double. Cobbles, double oxy.
-
Yeah. Double joy, double influence,
-
double. That's the kind of God we sell.
-
Garden restores novel. Double for your trouble.
-
And now come on. Start with me.
-
Double for my trouble. Yeah.
-
I've got to restore job. You can restore you.
-
God gave the job twice. You can see the view.
-
Double. OK.
-
And so if you called it a set back, there's actually a setup.
-
Yeah, I love that. And if you can keep the right
-
attitude through the trouble, God is saying I'm not just
-
bringing it out of the trouble, but I'm bringing it out of the
-
double. Yeah, so if you've had a lot of
-
trouble in your life, family, Mavericks work, get ready for
-
dumb. Yes, I sort of tell you how your
-
story ends. Your season don't end in loss.
-
Your season ends in 00. My God.
-
Now, some of you know my story. I shared this with you sometime
-
but I just want to shave a little bit of Peace of Mind
-
family with you. So why I watched my mom go
-
through trouble hard seasons especially back then we were for
-
rowdy boys and she had a nursery school, coaching and her own
-
business and through it all she never quit.
-
Believe it and God bless the not which is a small place just one
-
God gave her a double blessing with those of you that know the
-
story. They gave her double because
-
when she thought the season of bearing children was over.
-
God surprised that we're double with twins, a boy and a girl
-
twins double for her trouble. Now Zechariah 912 says, I
-
promise this very day that I will repay 2 blessings for each
-
of your troubles. OK, so I declare with you today,
-
double for your OK, so you shared one tier.
-
God's about to give you 2 victories.
-
OK, you lost one job. God is about to open 2 doors.
-
OK, come on. And so you were the rejected
-
ones, but God is about to give you double finer.
-
And so I declare double joy is coming, double strength is
-
coming, double provision is coming, double health is coming.
-
OK, double peace is coming, double influence, double
-
anointing is coming. So this is your double blessing
-
season. Tell your name and this is your
-
double season. And so I hear the old saying
-
that get ready because this house is coming into expansion.
-
Yeah. Yeah.
-
Fasting and praying the Word of the World categories.
-
Wrong. That's church.
-
It's about the double. Prepare for increase.
-
Prepare for double. Yeah.
-
That's why God said release this word because the double motion
-
is yeah, yeah. OK.
-
And so just stay with me because we're about to bring this to
-
full circle where we started with the lives of standing in
-
transition, changing of the Gods, transfer atmosphere shift.
-
Remember on that road there were three exit routes, 3 tests, OK?
-
So the test to give up, test to settle the moment, the
-
suggestion to disconnect, to leave, OK?
-
It wasn't an easy road for Elijah.
-
It wasn't a straight road for Elijah.
-
It was hard. It was difficult trouble, OK.
-
But he kept on saying, and this is what I love about Elijah, he
-
locked in and I don't think Elijah was the easiest man
-
because that's sometimes where people struggle with a very
-
strong leader, whether it's was the blockbuster Michelle, any
-
pastor or any person. It's not always easy because
-
Elijah this is a guy miracle such one that's pulled out fire
-
based from it's it's on an easy Rd.
-
Many extra drugs that came out. Just stay behind when there's
-
been somebody there, but he locks in.
-
He kept on saying I will not leave.
-
I will staple man, I will stay close.
-
I'm not I'm following, I'm coming, I'm staying connected to
-
you and that is a man that is covenant that is committed.
-
They say I am not missing my double motion.
-
Whenever God has praised you, whatever church, whatever
-
recognized the leadership connects, stay connected.
-
That's where your placing is in that like that's how God is a
-
day God is a day that Elijah and Elijah.
-
That's how it works. OK, We cannot isolate and do it
-
alone. We cannot.
-
That's not biblical. You cannot sit in your mother's
-
basement when yourself on a possible proper.
-
Go on Castle Online and Facebook at work.
-
Where are you connected? Where is your local church?
-
Who's your pastor? Because we are under authority.
-
I am under authority. You will never, ever hear me say
-
anything bad about my leader, which is Doctor Brad.
-
Tell me ever. I'm brave about Doctor Brad.
-
I love. I honor him.
-
I am under authority. That's why I'm operating.
-
Tender quality. Are you under authority?
-
That's where you because listen, don't even waste your time
-
coming for the double portion prayer where there is something
-
in your heart against the pastor or the leader in your life.
-
You will not receive a double portion.
-
If there is something in your heart against the leader that
-
God has placed that you, you're wasting your time.
-
Well, just go find the leader where you're like, OK God, this
-
is the one I'll submit. I'll do what you want me to do.
-
Follow the leader. It's the Bible.
-
I'm just giving you the revelation of a double portion.
-
That's Bible church. Yeah.
-
So I honour high Leader, which is Doctor Brad.
-
You'll never hear me say anything negative about Doctor
-
Brad because when he prays for me and he lays hands for me,
-
Doctor Brad passing me on our leadership.
-
My heart is I don't mind if there's some things that I don't
-
like about the accent, for example, or something.
-
Maybe. I mean, I the the leader that I
-
suspected in Joburg at right back, the pastors like, well,
-
this guy's got long hair bandanas, motorbike, real
-
African, you know, guy that's come out of the right mobile and
-
it's I'm like God, for five years.
-
I'll serve that leader. And we were released with a
-
double bullshit from something because you look at that time,
-
you look at the 1st mantle, 7 years to the second man.
-
So it's like God 1-2 years at a church, hop to another church,
-
hop to it's like where you're not going to grow because you
-
start over again when you're then at the next one jumping up,
-
booming around. So we got to stay close.
-
We got to stay in the flat. So when God slaughtered you, but
-
now you come into this season, I'm not saying you have to now
-
stay here. You can receive double portion
-
today. Doesn't matter where you've been
-
or how you've moved to understand that.
-
What I'm saying is stay close connected.
-
This is Elijah, he connected with his leader and that's the
-
secret. Because before we close, let me
-
just give you one more story. I remember watching the movie
-
Saving Private Ryan and Captain Miller with his squad.
-
They exhausted, they bleeding, they shoots.
-
I mean, it's like war going off explosives.
-
It's chaos. They're tired, but they're still
-
moving forward. 1 mission, go get one man and bring him home.
-
1 mission, one man in the battle.
-
The battle is dangerous, it's costly, it's inconvenient in the
-
middle of war. But they keep on moving forward.
-
That's the mission. Get him, get private, drive,
-
bring him home safe. They don't turn back.
-
They don't quit. They don't leave.
-
They don't settle. Even with every battle going on,
-
losing men, they still keep it forward.
-
That's the mission. Staying committed.
-
Stay together. Captain Miller.
-
Come on, guys, we're going to get this.
-
We are not going to give up because why?
-
Somebody higher up said he's worth.
-
That's good, but that's covered. Somebody higher up said this guy
-
is worth whatever the cost. We're going to go in there,
-
we're going to take some bullets.
-
We're going to lose. There's going to be some casual.
-
But listen, we're going to gate this Firehouse.
-
We're going to bring him home. That's what we do for our
-
brothers and our sisters. We go, we pray, we take shots we
-
don't get, but we bringing people back home.
-
We're getting people this hours once we go, we are staying
-
committed and that's what rescue love looks like because they're
-
in a rescue mission. Rescue love, rescue.
-
It doesn't stop when it gets hard and difficult, OK?
-
It keeps on moving forward. That's commitment.
-
That's covenant. And so as moving as that story
-
is, the gospel is even greater because Jesus did not send a
-
squad to come and rescue us. Jesus came himself to come and
-
rescue us. The mission was for Jeff to come
-
himself, and he stepped into our rock and fallen world.
-
He stepped into our mess, into our pain, into our sin, into our
-
difficulties, in our fight and our battle.
-
Jesus stepped into our fight and he kept on walking, repeated.
-
He kept on walking. Jesus came down.
-
Listen, in Gethsemane there was so many temptations to give up
-
in said even Jesus itself, like this is rough blood coming out
-
in prey. In Gethsemane, the Bible says he
-
was really sweeping black. That's temptation to give up.
-
Want me to go to the cross? That's hard because he kept on
-
walking. They blocked him.
-
He kept on walking, they whooped him.
-
He kept on walking. They nailed Him on a cross.
-
He kept on loving what it was. When the Father looked at your
-
life, your future, your eternity, He didn't say they are
-
too far gone. He said they are worth it.
-
The Father said that you, they are worth permission.
-
Whatever the God I got with you, that's what he said, you are
-
worth permission. That's what the cross is saying
-
on the cross, Jesus, man, that's what he said is that you are
-
worth it. You are worth it for him to live
-
and die and suffer. You are worth it.
-
God. Well, you are worth it.
-
So Jesus did not leave him. Jesus stayed limited, did not
-
leave him. He stayed limited all the
-
whatever the last father I will go after the rescue vision.
-
I will say I will go with whatever the bullets, whatever
-
the problem, Jesus name and because they refuse to leave you
-
because you never leave you. No said refuse to leave you.
-
I prophesied over your life that you are now coming into this
-
season. You're about to step into a new
-
season with strength. You're about to step into a new
-
season with my Come on. Let's all stand together.
-
Hallelujah. Now, this is a holy moment.
-
Church. Are you ready for this moment,
-
this holy home? Because something big's about
-
your moment. Something used about to take
-
place. OK.
-
Because I want you to watch this.
-
Elijah goes on. Now when Elijah goes up, and
-
this is how we're going to the Lord, showing me how we're going
-
to do it, OK, the mantle falls down.
-
OK, so whenever walked out of your life, whatever walked down,
-
it makes room for what's about walking?
-
OK, So what even left your life? Whatever left, that doesn't mean
-
it's lost. It's a transfer, a larger window
-
then went. It comes now.
-
So whatever left you doesn't mean it's lost.
-
Whatever walked out of your life makes room for what's about to
-
walk into your life, for what's about to come to you.
-
That's a transfer. That's an importation.
-
That's that hand off. OK, so stop calling it wasted
-
years. Stop calling it defense.
-
Stop calling it failure, OK? Stop calling it a set back.
-
It's God setting you up for a hand and transfer.
-
God setting you up. OK, that's the transfer.
-
And I hear the Spirit saying pick it up again.
-
Pick up your friend in line, pick up the man, pick up your
-
face again, pick it up again. Somebody OK that joy again,
-
Because if you pick it up, God will part what's in front of me.
-
And Elijah had to pick it up before the Jordan parted, OK.
-
And so the Jordan did not move because Elijah was talented or
-
cute or smart. The Jordan moved because Elijah
-
carried authority and mantle. This is our holy moment.
-
This is a hand off. This is a transfer.
-
This is a crossing over moment, OK?
-
And so I feel a Jordan premier that is about to break in this
-
place, OK, in this room now, something that is stood between
-
you and we guard your next level, that diamond, that Jordan
-
Maria. OK, so whatever is your Jordan,
-
The Lord says pick up the mantle, pick up the annoyance in
-
the double portion and I will part that there, right?
-
So we all understand what we're going to do right now and Craig
-
that when we got you're going to pick up the man.
-
So you're going to receive the anointing, right?
-
When we lay ahead and receive that.
-
And then you believe in that with that anointing, that double
-
portion that that's an authority God will pass the Jordan, Yes,
-
whatever barrier, whatever barrier that is in your life.
-
OK. And so you are not crossing over
-
empty handed. You are crossing over today with
-
double portion OK with a mantle. So this is the transfer now
-
should say this out loud so I will see all that heavenize for
-
me. I picked up the mantle.
-
I received double even now right now in Jesus mighty name I mean.
-
So if you have been tired, worn down, half full and you have a
-
Jordan barrier in front of or you have gone through a season
-
of trouble and you need double restoration left your hands,
-
raise those hands up and open your heart.
-
I want to pray, Father, I thank you, Lord, for every question
-
here that you are moving right now.
-
And Lord, I pray just like you showed me from the word of God.
-
Let mantels fall on your people, Let mantels, let coolings,
-
anointing return strength come back to bodies.
-
Peace rise up in mind. Lord, you said even now I will
-
restore double so even now restore marriages, restore
-
families, restore confidence. Even now restore finances.
-
Even now restore health, Even now restore dreams.
-
Yes Lord, we declare, shame is breaking, heaviness is lifting,
-
doors opening, and now we receive double.
-
EG somebody shout, yes, I'll try and send this out loud.
-
Lord, I think up the mantle. I will not quit.
-
I will not disconnect. I will not lift half hole.
-
I walk in a double portion. Blessing trouble turned into
-
double. Even now Carl is restoring me.
-
I am crossing over with authority.
-
I am crossing over. I'm crossing over.
-
Somebody shopping, somebody shop camo.
-
Oh my goodness, something is breaking loose in this place.
-
Now before we go, I just want to give you an opportunity right
-
now. Just an invitation.
-
Greatest invitation is Jesus to receive Jesus.
-
That's the greatest portion, is Jesus OK?
-
And so Jesus came on a rescue mission.
-
He gave his life for us so that we can love.
-
Now Jesus wants you fully committed.
-
He wants you in the race. He wants you connected to this
-
house, His people, His word, His assignment.
-
Now maybe you, yet you've never made a full decision, a full
-
commitment. That's where it starts, a full
-
commitment to follow Jesus. He is our leader of Jesus.
-
We follow Jesus. And so that's you right now.
-
Or maybe you used to walk with God or you drifted and you're
-
not where you're supposed to be today.
-
It's your mother. And so this is a comeback.
-
So that's you. Just lift your hand.
-
Anybody. I just want to see if there's
-
anybody. Just raise your hand.
-
If you say yes fully commit that you walk about to guide for
-
commitment. Is anybody else that says yes, I
-
just want to make sure that if today's my last day, I see no
-
signs. Thank you, thank you.
-
Just quick piece of you on this. There's nothing to do shine on
-
Boris, just say yes. If today's my last day and I'm
-
standing for God. I want to know I've been here
-
just want to seal that just say yes, Jesus the Lord just wants
-
you to see just acknowledge that because Jesus the Republic shine
-
in public. So we acknowledge in the public.
-
OK, so is everybody born again. So so let me just try let's just
-
try this on clouds of Jesus. I think in my life.
-
Look, if my son, let's meet him. I belong to you.
-
Amen.
