Supernatural Breakthrough and Communion with God - Pastor Michelle Roos
Publisher transcript
Transcript
-
In you that can seek him, it's that faith, because faith comes
-
by hearing and hearing by the word of God.
-
So the word is 1st and all these things will be added to you,
-
everything. So no matter your hardship that
-
you are going through the, the pain, the extreme pain that some
-
of you I know are going through, the loss, the, the, the extreme
-
anxiety, the fear, no matter all of that, the Lord's promise to
-
you is that if you seek him, all these things will be not maybe
-
not, it will be. It's the promise.
-
And that's when you walk in the faith dimension and the
-
supernatural breakthrough because your faith has just
-
touched the anointing of God, which is the glory of God, the
-
power of Holy Spirit, the fire of Holy Spirit.
-
The supernatural breakthrough requires faith that refuses to
-
retreat. So how much of you are seeing
-
all of hell stand in front of you to cause you to back off or
-
back down or give up or not bother with this or that, or not
-
have the faith to breakthrough? How many of you are faced with
-
those walls, those mental emotional walls of doubts and
-
reason and panic and the whole lot that goes with it?
-
Who's going through that? Lift up your hand if you're
-
going to real opposition to stop you from breaking through.
-
If you're not, there's something wrong.
-
Yeah, let me tell you something. If you are not going through
-
intense opposition, that means you're not doing anything for
-
the Kingdom of God. Not enough meaning because
-
you're not a threat to the enemy.
-
You should have a lot of giants around you because the giants
-
are there because of the call on your life.
-
But you should overcome those giants.
-
You should defeat those giants. You should come in the name of
-
the Lord to those giants. So those giants there are to set
-
the stage of the majesty and supreme power of the Lord.
-
It's to show His glory here on earth.
-
That opposition, whether it's financial, whether it's
-
sickness, it's whatever it is, that pain in the family that it
-
all works out for your good. Those giants mostly that come
-
through your thoughts is there to block you to the next step.
-
We know that Satan tried to deceive in Genesis 3.
-
Right in the very beginning, the snake was released.
-
Did he really say, did he really say that to you?
-
Right in the beginning? He's a twister.
-
The enemy twists the word of God, the thoughts, the plans,
-
the purposes, right since the beginning he started twisting.
-
Now, to this very day, he's still twisting in your mind,
-
making your thoughts defiled or making you think wrong thoughts
-
or impure thoughts, or busy with the world instead of the Lord.
-
So you don't want any part of a serpent attached to your life.
-
You don't want Leviathan. It's A twist that comes in
-
religion and know it all puffed up, but actually it's a twister
-
to try and for its own purposes, its own agenda, its own pride.
-
Leviathan, the serpent is full of pride.
-
You don't want that attached to your life.
-
You don't want that attached to your life.
-
You want that serpent gone because the moment the serpent
-
attaches to your life, the blessing can be like your thing
-
you put on the group. Stealing, killing, destruction
-
becomes to steal, kill, and destroy.
-
How? Through twisting, through
-
stealing. What's the first number one
-
thing you'll try to steal? The word of God inside of you.
-
If you can steal the word, the promise, the declaration, the
-
decree, If you can steal your connection to God, if you can
-
steal your worship, your pray time, your intimacy, if you can
-
steal all of that. And I'm telling you, he's
-
stealing from eye eyewitness, some of the things that go on
-
and he's just stolen over there. He's just removed that.
-
He's just done that. Don't allow him because your
-
breakthrough and your blessing comes when you overcome.
-
That's with the word of God. Do you know his name and his
-
word are of highest authority. It's one, the name Jesus, His
-
name and His word, the name above every other name.
-
The word is, is Christ. So there's none higher than His
-
name or His word. Do you know when I'm speaking
-
now? I'm speaking in the name of God
-
by just talking because I'm full of His word and His spirits.
-
So, so faith that refuses to retreat.
-
Without faith it's impossible to please God.
-
Hebrews 11 verse 6, Everything you got to do in faith.
-
Let me tell you the worst attitudes are one's attitudes
-
come where there is no faith. You can't have faith and an
-
attitude in the House of God. You can't have faith and be a
-
blessing in the house. You can't have an attitude and
-
be a blessing in the House of God.
-
It's one or the other. So you can be faith filled full
-
of the Spirit of God, or you can have an attitude then your faith
-
lacks. You don't want that.
-
You want to be blazing a free hearts, a clear hearts, a heart
-
that is open, a heart that is really hungry, that's desperate.
-
Like we said at the beginning, desperate that romantic and
-
desperate for you. We go back to basics.
-
I don't care if the lyrics are 100 years old or however we want
-
to go back to the very foundations.
-
The Kingdom of God is very simple, but then the deceiver
-
comes to twist and make it more complicated than what it is.
-
If it's written, it's written it is so it's so it's that's his
-
promise. So that illusion, that
-
imagination, we have to cast down every false imagination
-
that results itself against the knowledge of God.
-
So everything that would come up and cause you to think and then
-
'cause you to speak and then bring fear.
-
So another thing that unlocks and releases a supernatural
-
breakthrough is obedience. It unlocks power.
-
Obedience is the master key to the supernatural release.
-
Every biblical breakthrough was triggered by obedience to divine
-
instruction. Those has lifted his rod.
-
In Exodus 1416, Joshua marched around Jericho.
-
Joshua 6. He's a the next again.
-
Luke 5 is 5. So there's always an application
-
to the what the Lord to the instruction.
-
It's will we obey even in the small things?
-
Will we pray? Will we spend time in the Word?
-
Will we be quick to repent? Will we be quick to forgive the
-
We need to have a soft heart the moment we make a mistake, the
-
moment our hearts are offended, the moment we've been caught up
-
with fear, we need to quickly, quickly correct and align and
-
and carry on. Give the enemy no place, the
-
enemy no foothold, no open door, no window, no secret place where
-
the dark can be, and it blocks the power of God.
-
Consecration and purity. Breakthrough requires vessels
-
that are set apart. 2 Corinthians 617 Come out from
-
among them and be separate, says the Lord, and I will receive
-
you. We are called to go into all the
-
parts of the world. We are called to go reach the
-
last. We are called to go helping all
-
of these these things, but you cannot be as they are.
-
You have to have a difference. You have to if, if you are not
-
as strong as they are in the world, they will overcome you.
-
You have to be very, very sure when you go into dark places or
-
when you are around dangerous friendships.
-
And when I say dangerous, I say people that can defile your life
-
or familiar spirits that can come from those people onto your
-
life by mere association or just a phone call or a text or
-
whatever. If you are mixing with the wrong
-
people, consecrate yourself and be very careful where and what
-
you get up to in your personal life.
-
If 58 bless all the pure in heart for they shall see God.
-
And another thing for supernatural breakthrough is
-
perseverance in the unseen Acts 1625 to 26 Paul and Silas
-
worshipped in prison at midnight and suddenly the doors opened.
-
And I really believe that the worship yet tonight is going to
-
release breakthrough, is going to release freedom, is going to
-
break oppression with their family members.
-
It's going to bring deliverance, it's going to bring salvation,
-
it's going to bring blessing and breakthrough in this place
-
tonight. I truly believe that Galatians 6
-
Fence 9. Do not grow weary in doing good,
-
for in due season you shall reap if you do not lose heart.
-
And let me tell you, there's been some moments where I almost
-
lost total hearts of doing good, doing good.
-
And you see progress and you see not and you see this and that.
-
And you have to so much shake your heart with disappointment
-
with just take your eyes off people.
-
I've had to do that so many times.
-
Take your eyes off people, take your eyes.
-
Don't let people get you down. Don't let people's issues or
-
problems or carnal state throw you off.
-
Have you ever found one little word, 1 little thing can throw
-
you totally, totally off? May we be so full of the
-
presence of God that it doesn't matter who says what who does
-
what who whatever it does not trigger throw, of course,
-
disappoint bring down trip up none of that.
-
Yeah, I hear that Amen because it's true.
-
It's life. It's then you like can I say it
-
that loud? You're only on.
-
But it is that it's how can we stay grounded emotionally in the
-
word of God and just keep up focus partnership.
-
The supernatural requires partnering with heaven's
-
weapons. Breakthrough comes when we a
-
wield spiritual authority through the word.
-
Pray, fasting. I I didn't fast the whole day,
-
but I fasted for as long as I personally could today until
-
2:00-ish about but it was my worship to God.
-
It was my heart posture. It was my desperation and
-
praying, fasting, being in the word, applying the blood of
-
Jesus, allowing the anointing of the Holy Spirit to come upon you
-
through meditizing today I had needed time out from everything
-
and I just in silence. It's not often I have these
-
moments that everything was silenced and mentally I broke
-
through everything that would try come against this church in
-
my mind. It rose up in faith in my mind I
-
declared the word in my mind. The anointing broke through and
-
then through my words, I spoke it, I declared it, I release it.
-
Then my body got strength in it, my body got strong.
-
Then my body is able to fight and combat everything that would
-
come up again. So you have to get the basics
-
right. You can't go into battle
-
unprepared. You can't go into the season of
-
ministry in your own lives, to one another or just to your
-
family, to your workplace, to whatever else in the church.
-
You cannot do it. Not anointed.
-
His presence is everything out Him we are nothing.
-
I'd rather not speak if I don't feel him or see him or
-
experience him and have faith and I'm full of the word.
-
We have to. We cannot perform in our
-
natural. We cannot be people pleasers.
-
I refuse that since day one of ministry.
-
I will never fear man and I will never please people.
-
Sometimes it kind of. Sometimes it costs you.
-
Sometimes it costs you congregations members sometimes
-
it costs you your own whatever cost you everything but rather
-
fear him is so important that I read this I don't know.
-
No 2 Corinthians 10 verse 4 and it came here what to me was I
-
was meditating today on the Lord as well communion with God.
-
We are to be in constant communion with the Lord
-
communion through prayer and four verse six to seven thing
-
but in everything by prayer and supplication with Thanksgiving.
-
How much have you thanked Him today?
-
Let your request be made known to God.
-
Tell him your request and the peace of God, which surpasses
-
all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in
-
Christ Jesus in in the secret place, in the cleft of the rock,
-
in the shadow of the Most High Psalm 62 of us.
-
I trust in Him at all times. Our people.
-
Pour out your heart before Him. Have you poured out your heart
-
to him or to your friend on the phone?
-
Have you poured out your heart to yourself and thought all the
-
crazy thoughts, or have you actually gone to the Lord and
-
had communion with Him, spoken to Him?
-
Fellowship, union, we can have with the Lord through His word.
-
To Timothy 316 to 17. All is breathed out by God and
-
profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for
-
training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete
-
and equipped for every good work.
-
So this is all scripture. It's breathed by God.
-
When you eat the Scripture, you, his breath is coming upon you.
-
And like we're saying, on Sunday, dried bones come to
-
life. Someone would not.
-
Didn't you love that? On Sunday when I looked at
-
Moises and he was playing the keyboard and it wasn't him, I I
-
said it was Jesus playing the keyboard through him.
-
Suddenly the atmosphere changed and I didn't see Moises.
-
I called you Moses on camera. I didn't see Moises, I saw
-
Jesus. Suddenly Jesus is singing a love
-
song to us. Suddenly we all caught up in the
-
spirits. Yeah, it was really beautiful.
-
See, His words are spurred and they are life.
-
I love that. Psalm 119, verse one O 5.
-
Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.
-
And some of you are in darkness, some of you are confused, some
-
of you are lost, some of you are misaligned.
-
Some of you are off course. Why?
-
Because you are not. You are lacking the word powered
-
by the spirits. The word without the spirit is
-
low and it will kill you and it'll make you religious and
-
you'll get a serpents attached to you like we said Leviathan.
-
It will puff you up in pride and you'll actually remove yourself
-
from the anointing of what God has actually intended to bless
-
you with communion through worship.
-
John, he's seeking your worship. The Father wants your worship.
-
It's not a church thing. It's not a weird revival church
-
brassenal thing that says everybody get into worship mode.
-
It's actually yes, this is word. This is now not I said I saw
-
Jesus in Moises. Now this is the Spirit speaking
-
through me on Sunday. Do you not perceive or do you
-
see me as little old Michelle, little young scrawny, white,
-
funny Michelle. We're I'm just joking Rosanna.
-
Do you see me as this little girl talking to in front there
-
at church or there's some person trying to control everybody to
-
worship? Many do many have many have said
-
many things about me or do you in the anointing recognize, see,
-
you will not know that unless the Spirit of God shows you that
-
it's the spirit. How do you know that the Spirit
-
revealed that to you? When you see me talking in the
-
anointing, that is the Lord talking through me.
-
If you don't have ears to hear him, you will miss out on your
-
own blessings, your own offence, your own attitude, your own
-
anger, your own self-righteous pride.
-
If you perceive me as a Michelle, if you see the prophet
-
telling you worship him, you will take those words and you
-
will worship him. We've got incense.
-
Yeah, tonight you will. You will be like, let my life be
-
frankincense, be incense, be a fragrance.
-
Let my worship be fragrance to you.
-
Lord, we don't need frankincense.
-
And we've got my worship now because we've now got the blood
-
of Jesus, power of gods. But we now can come to him
-
boldly in the throne of Christ, and now we can approach him and
-
we can be in the throne room and we can just worship Him at his
-
feet. Psalm 9, 25 verse 60, come, let
-
us worship and bow down. Let us kneel before the Lord our
-
Maker communion we can have through him through silence and
-
stillness. Like I said today I experienced
-
Psalm 46 verse 10. He's still some of you your
-
mind. I know I've spoken so many
-
people recently that say they have ADHD.
-
They're like a million things at once and I know Kerry's one of
-
them. Do you know today the funniest
-
thing happened. A lady came to my door.
-
I was selling something that we don't need any anymore and she
-
came to my door. This was quite funny.
-
I started telling her about the church and I told her of the
-
miracles and I told her the healings.
-
I was speaking out. Tell everybody about you pizza
-
and speaking to her about the backs getting healed and
-
everything. Loads of miracles, boldness.
-
She's at my door. I'm praying no neighbors can
-
hear me and I'm going bold. I knew she was the one God
-
brought to me. I may be selling something.
-
No, she was the one the Lord brought to my door.
-
She looked at me, She said I am a chiropractor.
-
Her profession is being a chiropractor.
-
And yeah, I'm telling her, not her telling me.
-
I'm saying I know it's not. We're now pray for the people.
-
It's not that physical legs growing out, it's the hips are
-
lying because of posture and this and then I'm going to all
-
the detail of what I know. She said yes, yes.
-
And then I said, do you have any church background?
-
She says nothing. I said, well, I love people like
-
you the most. And she said, well, you remind
-
me of my business. Because when I tell them that
-
what chiropractors can do, nobody believes them.
-
But when they come to me, then they're all like, wow, it works.
-
He's like, that's exactly like you, it sounds.
-
I said, yes, no, Everyone thinks I'm crazy.
-
But when they actually come, they see experience the healing
-
power of God. And this lady just connected
-
like she was my best friend forever.
-
And yeah, I am. Do you know how much she told me
-
at my doorstep that she charged people, chiropractor, the GP,
-
the seeker, the the doctor's surgery.
-
The doctor got yield from the Lord, the Lord, not the donkey,
-
the Lord. He got healed in his GP surgery
-
instantly from 25 years of back pain.
-
She told me at my door she charges people £250 just to
-
assess them and I'm telling a chiropractor at the door
-
instantly, in split seconds, God heals them.
-
It blew my mind away. It was just reverse.
-
We know the world works one way, the Kingdom works a completely
-
different way and it was liberating.
-
It was freedom. I've never laughed so much with
-
a chiropractor and I know I'm a doctor.
-
He's using me as a doctor in the spirit, Doctor Jesus through me.
-
It was 2 professionals looking eyeball to eyeball one, no
-
background of religion. I was telling about you as well,
-
and 1 knowing God's got your number.
-
It was really amazing. You were out with Daddy in the
-
forest. So communion through silence and
-
stillness. We read the one be still in no
-
Habakkuk 220 but the Lord in his holy temple let all the earth
-
keep silent before him. Communion through obedience,
-
through surrender. John 14 verse 23 Jesus answered
-
him, If anyone loves me, he will keep my word and my Father will
-
love him and we will come to him and make our home with him.
-
You will keep the word of God if you love him.
-
The thing is, is he your first love?
-
Is he your blazing only love is your true love.
-
And if he's not so, Lord, light my heart on fire for you.
-
Let me be consumed with you. Not what that one did wrong to
-
me. Not the obstacle.
-
Yeah, not the giant there. If I love you, I'll be so
-
consumed with your word that it will be like fire.
-
Shut up in my bones. And then suddenly faith is so
-
high. And there's where the
-
supernatural takes place. Shut up in you that lazy now?
-
We don't want the fire shut up. And we want to release it.
-
When when you are full of intoxicated with alcohol.
-
I haven't drank alcohol for nine years at all for my personal
-
life, but I just said that because I can.
-
But if you if you know the feeling of being fully
-
intoxicated with alcohol, you're not in control of yourself.
-
You're just completely all like out there and bold and
-
confidence with what's going. It's the same when the spirit of
-
God, the fire shut up in your bones is you can't contain it.
-
You can't explain you can't it's it's another wavelength as it's
-
amazing by man's 12 is one I appeal to you therefore,
-
brethren, brothers, by the mercies of God to present your
-
bodies as a living sacrifice holy and acceptable to God,
-
which is what does it say? Yeah.
-
We encourage people on Sundays. It's your spiritual worship.
-
Wow. So no wonder we've got some
-
people that come and I'm not thinking of any specific people.
-
I'm talking in general. No wonder you've got people
-
barriers, warfare. People come with their baggage
-
and they're just standing in their church and the worship
-
stops the atmosphere changes. The we, we, you know why we
-
experienced that in our church? Because the fire is blazing hot
-
with that sensitive when something's off, we all know.
-
It's because we know what it feels like to be in the presence
-
of God. We know what it feels like to
-
put everything aside no matter how bad it is and to worship
-
Him. So with that, another church
-
will carry on their worship without detecting what we
-
detect. We only stop and correct things
-
quickly and just get freedom in the place.
-
Not because the church is off, but because when people come in,
-
we got a breakthrough for them to enter in.
-
So we are travailing willing to bring them higher.
-
It's an honor to do that. It's a privilege to do.
-
It's not a your spiritual worship is non existence when
-
you defile your physical body. May this scripture I appeal
-
brothers by the mercies of God to present your body presents
-
present your body as in this versus just jumped alive at me.
-
Are you presenting your body as a living sacrifice.
-
You're not a sacrifice. So and so standing there just
-
Lord, I expect you to touch me today, but from entitlements
-
rather than a living sacrifice. There's a big, big, big
-
difference. Holy holy.
-
It doesn't mean you're you're there's grace.
-
There's all of that. I'm not saying that, I'm just
-
saying holy join to the Lord, just that heart posture, that
-
freedom in your heart that is, is, yeah, I'll just move on.
-
But holy unacceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.
-
You worship him when you present yourself as a living sacrifice,
-
when you can overcome offence. I think you should be offended
-
to God. The thing is, in moments of
-
breaking through into the presence of God, the enemy will
-
set up traps of offence in every direction to stop you from being
-
in that secret place. He will block you whether it's
-
anything he will try and block you body.
-
Your worship as a living sacrifice should push through
-
every block and Barry set to trap you from meeting with him.
-
And you know, even if you, you know, for some they make clap,
-
but you don't have to clap your hands.
-
Do you know that just by standing and just like like
-
that, do you know that just by raising your hands, you don't
-
have to clap? Do you know that to Yes, it's
-
and you heard me say that analogy.
-
When you raise your hands, the physical benefit of ZAP releases
-
on your heart and anxiety. Guys, that's just the physical
-
benefits. They say when you're having a
-
heart attack, lift up your hands to get the pain away.
-
My word, isn't everything just connected?
-
Yeah, yeah. You see, you all want to Really.
-
Not exactly. Even that feels refreshing.
-
Get loose a little bit in the presence of God.
-
Yay. Learn to come out of your your
-
little box the moment you have faith to come out of that box.
-
Where is your comforts on your safe space, your place where you
-
can just the moment you can jump past over that wall is the
-
moment God will meet you then OK communion through the Spirit.
-
Romans 826 to 27. Likewise, the Spirit helps us in
-
our weakness, for we don't know what to pray for as we ought,
-
but the Spirit himself into cease for us with groanings too
-
deep for words. And he who searches the heart is
-
all about the heart. Christianity is from the heart,
-
knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit
-
intercedes for the Saints according to the will of God.
-
So if you are not breaking through, you feel dry.
-
There's no results, there's no fruit.
-
Pray in the Holy Spirit, pray until the breakthrough comes.
-
Pray His will. Offspring communion in the
-
Lord's Supper, the body. I won't read through that.
-
We'll do communion again. Communion through abiding.
-
John 15, verse 4 to 5. Abide in me, and I in you.
-
As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself unless it abides in
-
the vine, neither can you unless you abide in me.
-
I am the vine, you are the branches.
-
Whoever abides in me, and I in Him, He it is that bears much
-
fruits, for apart from Me you can do nothing.
-
What fruits are you bearing? So communion with God then?
-
He's living in His presence through prayer, word, worship,
-
silence, obedience, the spirits, the sacraments, and Thee abiding
-
daily in Christ. So I love that I've jumped
-
through two sections of two total different topics, but how
-
amazing. I really believe that the word
-
is causing people to breakthrough in these moments.
-
We're gonna go into worship and prayer now.
-
I want to I'm going to take 5 minutes to briefly touch on the
-
Lord was speaking to me a lot from midnight until the early
-
hours of this morning and He was showing me corporately how this
-
church God is wanting to equip you, train you and send you into
-
your callings each and everyone of you.
-
He is moving in power and when I look at each one of you your
-
destinies in Christ is massive is big.
-
OK, there are many, many callings and including Umassa.
-
Do you know that before my first two different topics of
-
speaking, he gave me what I've just gone on to now and I said,
-
no, Lord, I'm not going to. I don't want to really.
-
And he gave me those and he's brought me right back at this.
-
And the reason is, is he is establishing callings destiny
-
and he is commissioning, he is anointing, he is imparting, he
-
is equipping and it's beautiful. And what is going to the, the
-
way the local church should be, the role the local church plays
-
is all of that what I've just said, equipping, training,
-
establishing, correcting, teaching.
-
And so I'm going to touch on this a little bit.
-
I'm going to shed some scripture of the model of the church, of
-
your local church, the importance of the local church
-
to your calling. Many of you, well, even if
-
you're, I won't mention your name because of the recording,
-
but at your beautiful age, you've got Kingdom calling still
-
upon you and you're a man. God is equipping you for destiny
-
even now, all of you, and look at there is not one face.
-
I can prophecy over each and every one of you right now, all
-
your callings. I can do that right now.
-
We don't have time to and maybe we should do the the session
-
next week to follow up on it. But you are all very handpicked
-
by God. You've got a Kingdom call on
-
your lives that is huge, but there's a role for the local
-
church in fulfilling that and that's why you've got many
-
reasons. I won't even keep keep the
-
Catholic. You've got many reasons for
-
being planted and established in the local church.
-
There's many reasons. It's your act of worship.
-
It's the will of God. It's where the where Jesus is
-
found in the House of God is his Kingdom principles.
-
It's the covenant we have with God.
-
It's the establishment of scriptures a huge part of being
-
firmly planted in the local church is to help you reach your
-
Kingdom call OK. It's to ignite your heart on
-
fire. It's to equip you, to train you
-
and to send you. So our Church, and what the
-
Church across the world should be, in fact, is that you will
-
achieve far more than even we do, that you will achieve far
-
greater than you could even see for yourself, That you will far
-
excel in all the gifts the Lord has upon your life at His
-
appointed time. Some of you now, some in a
-
little while, some at the right. Some of you, you don't ever want
-
to go before God's timing, but you don't want to delay your
-
future either. You want to be in the will of
-
God. Some of you are called for
-
ministry, some for the corporate Apostolic work Apostolic
-
anointing in your corporate workplace, some of you for both.
-
The Lord raises people in the local church and He sends them
-
to nations. As a church, we love to ignite,
-
equip and send to those who are serving in the House of the Lord
-
where the seen or unseen on the platform of behind the scenes,
-
the Lord sees you and He will reward you.
-
God sees your faithfulness and He is shaping you and will
-
reward you. You are not just filling a role
-
like we know for children's church or the welcoming team or
-
the setup team or the worship or the pray or whatever it may be.
-
You are part of God's eternal plan.
-
He is building in you what He will one day release through
-
you. It's to ignite, equip and send
-
ignite. As a church, we have a passion
-
for Jesus in every heart. Like James, you said when you
-
first came to the church, you were about to walk away from
-
everything. This was your last and the Lord
-
ignited your hearts. OK, This is the purpose for the
-
Lord. One of the reasons in the local
-
church is to ignite your hearts like He's done for you, set you
-
on fire for him. All right, I'm going to skip
-
through a lot of my notes. I'll send the notes on the group
-
later. The fire of Holy Spirit awakens
-
people to who God is and who there are in him.
-
When passions ignited, the love for Christ overflows into
-
worship. Obedience, compassion for the
-
last you have to have compassion for the last Jeremiah 29 His
-
word is like that's what you read now is his word is in my
-
heart like a fire, a fire shut up in my bones.
-
See how all three different messages tie into one all right
-
to equip. We are called not just to
-
inspire, but to equip the Saints for the work of the ministry.
-
Training, teaching, Bible ship importation prepares believers
-
to walk in maturity and effectiveness.
-
God gives spiritual gifts, but the church is where those gifts
-
are sharpened, practiced, and matured.
-
So don't tell me you want to go minister out there if you can't
-
remain faithful where he is actually producing gold and
-
sharpening iron. You can't jump around, hop to,
-
you have to be planted. God raises His people in the
-
local church's training ground. Acts 13, verse one to two in the
-
church at Antioch. The local church is God's
-
training ground. Character formation.
-
David was faithful in the fields before he ruled gift
-
development. Timothy was recognized in his
-
local fellowship to Timothy one verse 6 accountability leaders
-
provide covering and affirmation.
-
To forget where you were ignited, equipped, and in part
-
or two is to cut yourself off from the roots.
-
Hebrews 13 verse 7 Remember your leaders who spoke the word of
-
God to you. Consider the outcome of their
-
way of life and imitate their faith.
-
Before God sends out, He roots us deep into community.
-
Acts 13 verse one. Paul and Barnabas were ready
-
serving among the prophets and teachers in Antioch before being
-
sent. Faithfulness in the local
-
context comes before fruitfulness in global context.
-
Character and calling is tested locally.
-
One Timothy 3 verse 10. Let them also be tested first.
-
God shapes humility, servanthood and endurance in community life.
-
The Spirit sends through the church.
-
Acts 13 verse two to three set apart for me, Barnabas and Saul.
-
The church lays hands, commissions with blessing.
-
St. is not just going. This gives spiritual authority
-
and protection. True mission is birthed in
-
prayer, collaboration and not independence from local impact
-
to global reach. Acts One, verse 8.
-
You will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and
-
to the ends of the earth. Mission begins at home, your
-
Jerusalem family, neighborhood, and local church.
-
It expands outwards to regions and nations.
-
That's what we want. We want the nations.
-
We want the regions we want it. We want you to flourish.
-
But I want to emphasize the role of the local church.
-
If you cut out about the local church, when things go well for
-
you, when the Crusades go big and you can't mention your local
-
church and you forget and you dishonor the anointing from
-
where you got ignited, you will cut yourself off from the
-
blessing. And that is why I emphasize and
-
James and is close to us so he knows over and over don't ever
-
cut off. They can be ministries you may
-
be associated to ministries you will have the I I truly believe
-
you will have the biggest huge crusades big is coming to say
-
never ever let pride or numbers or any of that dishonor the
-
biblical Kingdom foundations and way it should be that it's local
-
church sending Oz. Do you know what I love the
-
about Doctor Debbie Rich. I am blown away by her life.
-
She honors her local church. I have never will I have but the
-
way she spoke about her spiritual father, Doctor Rodney
-
Hard Brown. This lady is not a lady that is
-
have you ever heard the term small fry.
-
She is of the highest anointed evangelism I have ever ever ever
-
experienced. In fact, she is flowing in the
-
same pointing and dimension as her own local church.
-
She does not dishonor she does she every time she goes
-
anywhere. My local church, the river in
-
Tampa, my special doctor Rod, Do you know you see her photos and
-
she said pray for me, not pride, not I'm now a minister.
-
Pray for me. Equip me that I can be sent out.
-
It's a total different frame of heart and that's the Kingdom
-
way. The reason I want to tell you
-
this is I'm so encouraged by the African Crusade in Uganda, by
-
watching the fruit of everything.
-
When I was pondering on the fruits, I saw you before my
-
faces and I saw the destinies on your lives.
-
The local church is not there to control you or to get the
-
credit. The local church is to send you
-
out. The local church is to impart,
-
to ignite, to make you far exceed like.
-
We want that. We want that.
-
We want it so when you see the plan of God, you get that faith
-
of the process you're in. God's going to show you exactly
-
he's going to speak to you. We want another session of
-
because there are prophetic people in this place.
-
There are a leaders there are people gifted with children in
-
this place. They are worshippers, they are
-
instrumentalists. There are Apostolic people in
-
the workplace that are the Lord is about to cause such an
-
abundant overflow of wealth upon your lives.
-
There are teachers in this place.
-
There are there's so many men and women of God in this place
-
that it's electric when we come together because we honor each
-
other. God's plan is grow here, go
-
there. Every church which is called to
-
be ascending church, when the Lord sends them out, it's not
-
alone. It's in collaboration.
-
I just want to ask the Lord first before we go to our next
-
session together. Ask him because you just getting
-
started there is so much more. It's just the start of big
-
greatness. It's just the start, but
-
everyone of you are going to go through the taste of the hearts.
-
You're going to go through heartsest.
-
Yeah. And you know what?
-
It's it's for everybody. It's it's for every leader.
-
It's for every pastor. It's for every prophet.
-
It's for every children's worker.
-
It's for every worship leader. You will be confronted with
-
matters of the heart. You need the right leaders to
-
navigate you through that, that you can remain pure and holy and
-
exceed and far exceed your Kingdom call.
-
What I love is, you know, God's planted you here.
-
So that's a good, that's a holy that keeps you in check, Sir.
-
The second thing is may we all have that holy fear for the rest
-
of our lives to be in his perfect world.
-
So it's a fright. It's it's, it's a good thing
-
when you use it, right? We don't want to miss his
-
perfect world for our lives, and that's good.
