Guest Minister David Wagner

I believe we're living in a day in a time where Paul, the Apostle, and Peter and James

and John would be jealous to be living in days like this.

Here's why, because they know in days like this Jesus always comes.

Jesus always comes to the Holy Spirit always pours out in moments like these, in spite

of all this stuff happening in the earth and around us.

He always comes in moments like this.

Welcome to the CityLight Church Podcast, thanks for joining us today, as we look into

God's Word and discover the hope and truth that He has for us.

If you want to connect with CityLight Church, feel free to visit us at citylightnyc.com,

Pastor Boyan Jansik and his team believe that the power of the Holy Spirit is already

working in our hearts and minds.

As you listen to today's teaching, remember that you are deeply loved by God, that you

are surrounded by His grace, and that He has a real hope and a future for you.

Here's what I've discovered about Him.

He's good even when we're not.

Paul was writing his St. Timothy and said, even when your faithless God is still faithful,

even when you're bad, He's still good.

And I'm telling you right now that the goodness of God, I think sometimes we just minimize

things and that's just a cool song and a remake chorus.

But I believe it's a prophetic anthem.

It's a prophetic anthem over this place, like never before.

I heard these words in the Spirit during worship today, don't coast but accelerate.

There are moments in natural life that spill over into church life sometimes.

And sometimes we get in this place after Memorial Day here in the States and we start moving

towards summer mindsets.

But I would tell you this, don't just coast through the summer but accelerate in the

Spirit through the summer.

A word came forth last night that this was going to be a summer of the supernatural.

I believe it's in the building, I believe it's in services, but I also believe it's

in your life and in your house and in your burrow and in your neighborhood and on your

job and your family around the family table, all of those things.

And I would just say that in the season of where sometimes we move into vacation mode,

don't forget your habitation of the Holy Spirit, amen?

I think sometimes we're singing songs about God is so good and sometimes we think of all

the things that aren't going good in our lives.

And a few years ago I was going through kind of a rough patch, I was getting ready to

speak in a conference, I just lost in the loser, I know where she went, my mom went home

to be with the Lord, my brother had gone home to be with the Lord, I just was walking

through a season of kind of grief.

And I was at this conference and it was an assignment but I was overwhelmed, I was heavy

in the moment.

And this missionary and her husband came up to me and she just whispered these words

in my ear.

She said, she's from Mississippi, so she's like, you know, she said, boy God didn't promise

you easy, he just promised you faithful.

And I realized that God never promised me easy, but he did promise me faithful.

And I've discovered in some of the darkest, most difficult seasons and times of life

that I've had to navigate, things that I thought were going to kill me, destroy me,

wipe me out, and those moments I've found that the fruit of his faithfulness has been

greater than the pain of my process.

I believe that's a prophetic word for New York City and for City like today.

The fruit of his faithfulness is greater than the pain of our process.

Like you hear the testimony of what Pastor Boyana is sharing with us this morning and it's

amazing.

And he kind of minimizes those struggles and those defeats and that we're very real

at the moment.

Why?

Because the goodness of God came in and overshadowed it.

There was a moment in first service where I walked over here and I smelled this fragrance

coming from over here and I asked the Lord, what is it?

Because it wasn't like a perfume.

It was like other worldly to me and he said it's the essence of the fragrance of Ephraim.

Ephraim was one of Joseph's sons and his name actually means this to be doubly fruitful

in your place of affliction.

So every place that you walk through battle, every place that you felt like you lost, every

place that you felt like you lost something, something you were defeated or deflated in

a place.

The Lord causes you to come back and be doubly fruitful.

Are you hearing me?

He makes a kingdom demonstration.

I like he quoted that scripture, God isn't mocked but God doesn't mind mocking the devil.

This is a season and a time.

Here's what I feel for some of us in the room today.

I had this vision that the enemy was choking in the room this morning.

And I asked the Lord what it was and the Lord simply said these words, I'm making him

eat his words.

And the very things that the enemy spoke against you, God's going to make the enemy eat

and choke his words, choke on his words.

Are you hearing me?

That this is a season of a turnaround moment in God.

I believe it with all of my heart.

This is what I believe that you are, that we are carriers of the glory of God and the goodness

of God.

Do you understand that your life is a billboard?

It's an advertisement for the goodness of God.

That when people look at you, they'll have to declare God is good.

When I look at their life, when I look at what the Lord is doing in them, even if they

don't even know the Lord, there will be a testimony and a declaration that when people

look at you, they'll say, I see the goodness of God.

We're stepping into that moment.

Here's what I believe in this, I'm not trying to sound mystical this morning, but I feel

like there is just the veil is very thin in this moment.

That veil between heaven and earth, the veil in between what is and what isn't yet is

very clear.

A lot of times we're listening to voices of the past, we're listening to all the things

that we haven't seen yet, and we sometimes are in that which wasn't or that over here

and the Lord is calling us into that which now is.

Does that make sense?

That we're actually about to come out the other side.

I said this last night that, according to Hebrews 13 and 8, that Jesus Christ is this

thing yesterday today and forever, he doesn't change, but he's always changing.

He doesn't change in character, he doesn't change in who he is or what he does, but we keep

discovering something new about him every time we encounter him.

He never changes, but he's always moving.

That's why a lot of us are always in transition.

We could help somebody right now.

That God is always moving, so we're continually moving, following him.

I believe that this is one of the greatest hours.

The, actually, is the greatest hour for the church.

I believe we're living in a day in a time where Paul, the Apostle, and Peter, and James

and John would be jealous to be living in days like this.

Jesus why?

Because they know in days like this, Jesus always comes.

Jesus always comes.

The Holy Spirit always pours out in moments like these, in spite of all this stuff happening

in the earth and around us, he always comes in moments like this.

In the book of John, Jesus said these words, in this life, you will have trouble, you

will have tribulation.

He's not talking about the great tribulation.

He's talking about in this life, you will walk through stuff.

There will be trials.

There will be things you can literally translate it as pressure in this life.

You will have pressure.

Pressure to quit, pressure to perform, pressure to a family, church, pressure, life pressure,

work pressure, all of those things.

And in this life, you're going to have pressure.

I don't know about you.

I don't like pressure.

I like peace.

I would love peace, but in this life, you will have pressure.

Why?

Pressure is not necessarily bad, actually.

Pressure is something that creates any mothers in the room.

How did you know when it was time to give birth?

You felt pressure.

And then you looked at your husband and you grabbed his hand and said, you did this to

me and he felt the pressure.

Right?

Right?

Pressure bursts something.

The chair you're sitting on wouldn't be fit to sit on, wouldn't even exist had it not

been pressure where those, the frames were formed by pressure.

And I'm here to tell you right now that after you endure the pressure, there comes something

even greater.

In this life, you will have pressure, you'll have tribulation, you're going to have trials,

you do not fear like the world fears, but rejoice.

He's saying in the midst of the pressure, in the midst of the fire, in the midst of the

storm, in the midst of all this stuff that's happening around us, throw a party.

Get excited.

I'm about to show up.

I'm about to show out.

I'm about to appear.

I'm about to move.

I'm about to provide.

I'm about to flex my muscle.

I'm about to heal.

I'm about to deliver.

I'm about to release miracles.

I'm about to provide for you.

I'm about to show up in all kinds of ways.

Be of good cheer.

Get the champagne ready.

You get ready to throw a party.

Here's why.

I've already overcome the world.

I've already overcome what's putting pressure on you.

I've already overcome the pain you're walking through.

I've already overcome the sickness and the lack and all of those things.

So you be of good cheer because I have no choice out of my goodness.

I'm about to move in it.

Are you hearing me?

That's what I believe.

The Lord is saying to us today.

You cannot improve on the presence of God or the methods of Jesus.

In Mark chapter four, verse 34 and 35, Jesus and His humanity is fully God, but He's also

has this man element.

He's tired.

He's been ministering among the crowd, the multitudes all day and for weeks at a time.

He says to His disciples, come let us go and cross over to the other side.

A prophetic word for you.

It's a season of crossing over.

It's a season of crossing over.

So they get into the boat and as they go on to the boat, there's other little boats following

one of the gospels talks about and they get out in the middle of the lake in the middle

of the sea and the storm comes out of nowhere and Jesus when he gets in the boat goes to the

stern of the boat.

To the back of the boat, he makes a pillow and he lays down and goes to sleep.

They come into this storm, rain is beating into the boat.

The boat is filling with water.

The disciples are looking around and they forget the goodness of God.

They forget the first four chapters of Mark.

They forget miracles, signs, wonders, they forget healing, they forget deliverance, they

forget divine protection, they forget resurrection.

And all of a sudden they freak out and they go, talks among themselves and go, you think

that God actually brought us all the way out here to kill us?

And the boat is tossing and it's filling with water and Jesus just stays asleep.

He's like, wow, the first water bed in history, right?

Talk about soaking, right, and he just soaking, right?

And the disciples finally have had enough and they go to the back of the boat and they

go, hey, Jesus, don't you care that we're parishing?

Did you bring us all the way out here to kill us?

Da, he's in the same boat.

He's walking through the same elements.

He's walking through all of this stuff that they're walking through except his response

is different.

His response is rest.

Our friend's restoration begins with rest.

And there's going to come such an anointing and a surety and security and the goodness

of God that when the storms come and the winds blow and it looks like you're about to capsize

that you just stay in that place of rest because the Lord is with me.

He's in the same storm.

Are you hearing me?

You know, I used to think from Sunday school days that when the disciples woke Jesus up,

he just jumped up like Superman and said, peace, be still.

But the more I know him, I think it was more like this.

Five more minutes, Thomas.

Peter, can you hit this news for me, man?

Oh, John, I was just, man, I was just having a great dream and just give you a few more

minutes.

I think he got up and he kind of went like, Peter, did you pee my bed?

No.

Peace be still and the wind stops and the waves stop and they marvel and they said, who

is this that even the wind and the waves obey him and then he rebukes them for their unbelief?

What did they doubt?

Not his power.

I think they doubted his goodness.

They doubted the fact that he loved them and wouldn't allow to let that destroy them.

They keep going.

Okay, now you move into Mark chapter five and they keep going and they get to the hills

of the gatherings to the other side.

He still wants to rest.

He still wants to fellowship with the father and with the disciples.

And here comes this man filled with demons down the hill and the man says, recognizes

him as Jesus and said, why have you come if you come to torment me some more?

And this man was naked crazy guy like he ran around naked.

He lived in the tunes in the cemetery with dead people.

He cut himself with rocks.

He would come out at certain times of the day and people just got used to him in his demonic

demonstrations.

They actually got used to him in his trouble and his struggles and they would just go

the other side of the street and go, there he comes again.

But he comes to Jesus and he has his conversation and said, have you come to torment me and

Jesus said, no, and he asked this question, what is your name?

From my Pentecostal upbringing and training, I used to think that he was asking the demons,

what's your name?

Identify yourself.

But the more I know Jesus, I believe what he was really saying is, hey, I know you're

troubled.

I know everybody around this place misunderstands you and they've grown accustomed to your

bondage and you're by yourself and you're alone and I know you feel like you don't

have any value and you're tormented.

But what's your name?

I'd really like to know your name because I'd really like to get to know you.

And that's just like Jesus.

And the demons start speaking, we are legions because we're many.

And they start having this negotiation with Jesus.

We know we can't stay, but can you do us a favor and not send us back to where we came

from?

Don't send us back to Haiti.

Don't send us back to the abyss.

And the crazy thing is that Jesus actually answers the prayer of the demons.

All of a sudden these pigs come running down the mountains.

In that unusual in the Middle East, you would have pigs anyway.

But there was a little group of people, that's what they did.

They were pig farmers.

And also in the pigs break loose from where they're containment and they come running down

the hill and Jesus commands the demons to jump into the pigs and then the pigs jump

off of the cliff and into the water and drown.

Here's the truth.

Jesus will show up in your storm, create an atmosphere of peace that it will cause every

demon that's against you to drown in his presence of peace.

Hallelujah.

It's who he is.

He's the Prince of Peace.

He actually took that storm and created an atmosphere for victory.

Just think about that.

And that miracle upsets all the townspeople and the religious people of the day.

Hey, you just messed with our economy and our culture and our religious system and that's

way too much God in church.

So Jesus, we're going to ask you to leave.

And he starts answering their prayer.

They start moving away from the dock and here comes naked crazy guy in his right mind

completely free and delivered.

And he says, Jesus, don't leave without me, take me with you.

And Jesus doesn't answer his prayer.

It's not I need you to stay here and I need you to tell everybody what just happened to

you.

In a moment, he went from a maniac to a missionary.

In a moment, he went from naked crazy guy to all of a sudden he is the town evangelist.

Don't underestimate what God set you free from.

Don't underestimate what Jesus delivers you from.

A few years ago, I was in a church in a, I won't tell you this city to protect the guilty,

but it was Tulsa.

And my friend was planting a church there and an amazing evangelist.

And we were doing a weekend, similar this weekend, where we were teaching on the person

and gifts of the Holy Spirit and so there's teaching and activation and there's things.

And there was a new couple that came to the church.

They were there with him for about six months.

And they invited a family, a couple that had never been to the church before and they

go out and they eat before church and then they come to the church.

And as they're driving from the restaurant to the church, there's a man walking down

the side of the road and the people in the back seat recognize that this is one of their

friends named Christopher or somebody they know they work with.

So the people in the front seat said, hey, should we ask him if he wants to come to church?

And so they pull over and they say, hey, man, do you want to come to church?

And he says, sure.

And he gets in the car and as soon as they pull away from the curb, they realize that

they've made a huge mistake and he's no shape to come to church.

He's three sheets to the wind.

He's drunk.

He's bombarded on himself, urinated on himself.

And so they realized that it wouldn't be the Christian thing to do to ask him to get out

of the car.

So the wives began to text in the back seat to the front seat and this was their conversation.

I'm so sorry that this is happening.

We should have known better to lay in the front seats and don't worry.

There's a lost and found.

We'll get them some clothes and when we get them there, we'll just get them kind of cleaned

up clothes.

We'll have our Uber a lift and we'll send him on his way.

They pull into the church parking lot and Christopher has a completely different idea.

He opens the door, runs into the church, hooks the right, runs through the foyer, runs

through the front of the church, falls down at the altar and just starts weeping uncontrollably.

An elder comes and finds him and comforts him and realizes church is about to start and

you can't have a drunk smelly guy in the front of the church because that wouldn't be

very churchy.

And so they bring him to the kitchen area and I'm in there with the pastor and I'm drinking

coffee and I say to the man when he comes in, I said, hey, what's your name?

My name is David and he goes, Christopher A. Cornstock, Native American Cherokee Indian

and I said, well, great to meet you, Christopher.

Would you like to be my guest of honor tonight?

He accepts the invitation.

We got him a little bit cleaned up but we brought him.

And he puts on him right on the front row center aisle right next to me.

Worship goes for a while, I get up to tinge and all of a sudden you hear thump and Christopher

is on the floor.

Not under the power of God.

He's drunk and fell asleep and just passed out in the aisle.

So we pick him up and he sits back and he's at times making random noises, bodily functions

like disruptive and people are starting to freak out in the meeting and they're going, hey,

I thought he was the man of God.

Why would he let this guy in the service and I thought our pastor loved us and this guy

told me he doesn't even look like he belongs in church.

I think this place is crazy and he can really hear from God why would he do that?

So all of a sudden I'm teaching, this is happening and I hear the laughter of the Lord in my

ear and the Lord's going, in it great.

In it great, and I'm going, yeah, Lord, it's great, but what's so great about him?

In it great, he doesn't know how to behave in church yet.

So I finish my teaching and I say, Christopher, would you like to give your life to Jesus

and he says, sure, and I make him lift his hands because unless it looks like you're being

held at gunpoint, you know it's not going to be true salvation.

And he lifts his hands and I say it's an international sign of surrender like coming from, you

know, running to a loving father, he's going to grab your arms and he prays the prayer

and like, all of a sudden three demons come screaming out of him and as the three demons

come screaming out, he hits the floor after a few minutes he gets up and goes, hey, word

my buzz go.

Oh, forget it.

This is better.

I was slightly concerned a little bit offended because I wasn't teaching on tongues until

two o'clock on Saturday afternoon and this is 10 o'clock on Friday night.

Then he really freaks me out and starts singing a prophetic song over me about my upbringing,

about all kind like it was this beautiful song of the Lord and now I'm really, really

concerned and this and a little bit offended because I'm not teaching on prophecy till

four tomorrow.

He's already ahead in the notes.

So we decide we're going to go out to eye hop.

We're done being spiritual, not international house of prayer, but international house of

pancakes.

I'm a little concerned about him because he orders Rudy Tutti fresh and fruity.

Can I just get on a soapbox a minute?

I do not like the way some restaurants make you order.

Sometimes I just want pancakes with strawberries and blueberries on it with some whipped cream.

I do not want to call it Rudy Tutti fresh and fruity.

It makes me feel uncomfortable.

But all the waitresses will go, I'm like, can I have some pancakes with whipped cream and

the berries on it?

What's it called?

I'm just picking on eye hop, go, just think about Denny's.

Sometimes I want just an English muffin with Canadian bacon, cheese and an egg on it.

You're like, what's it called?

Moons over my hammy.

No, I don't want that.

It's very uncomfortable.

It's around eye hop, we order.

This crowd of 13 guys walks in and they are causing a ruckus.

They're spitting the paper from the straws.

Remember when straws were plastic and they were in paper?

Don't get me started on soggy straws.

You know that's not God.

I don't care how much you love the environment.

Jesus did not purpose that in his heart for us.

New and national day version.

Also these guys come in and they're casting their yelling at the waitress and the managers

get ready to kick them out and call the police.

The Christopher, excuse me, goes to this table of 13 guys and puts his hands on the table,

talks to him for a few minutes.

After about three minutes they all start weeping, like solidly weeping.

Next thing you know, all of their hands are in the air and they're repeating after him.

He comes back and said, what happened?

He said, I just saw people like me.

So I did to them what you did to me and everything's okay now and literally within an hour

and a half he went from drunken demon eyes to born again filled with the Holy Spirit prophesying

and now he's an evangelist.

He didn't go through Bible college, he didn't go to school of ministry, he didn't go through

our prophetic weekend, he didn't go through my school of prophecy, he just had an encounter

with God and God put himself in him to put him on display wherever he went.

We say goodbye that night the next day we show up at the church and Christopher is there

with 40 of his newest friends.

Now some of them have grass and stuff in their hair, some of them have rocks in their elbows

in their knees.

We say Christopher, what happened?

He said, I couldn't sleep last night.

I was so excited.

So I went to place, I used to hang out and I brought people here and if they couldn't

walk I just rolled them here.

His ministry began by rolling drunks to church in the middle of the night.

He doubled the size of the church overnight.

The reason I'm saying this to you is this.

Is that although we love church and I love this church and how God moves here and I want

to protect it and holiness and the atmosphere of it, but what if God puts people in your

life on a daily basis they don't know how to behave in church yet?

What if God brings some people that might be a little bit rough around the edges into

the house of God who don't know how to behave in church yet?

If you don't have discerning eyes, if you don't have the gift of discernment, if you don't

have the gift of prophecy you will actually miss the destiny and the call on their life

and therefore there will be a deficit in your own life because they're carrying something

you need.

And the reason I'm sharing this kind of a crazy story with you is on purpose.

You don't judge a book by its cover because if you judge by a book by its cover you may

not or open the pages to read the beautiful love story that God has woven in between the

book ends.

And I believe right now with all my heart that you're about to get to the really good

part of the book.

You're about to get to the really really good part of the book of your life, of my life,

of the destiny and the purpose of God in this season.

Are you ready for that?

There is a commissioning, I'm going to go back to this, that there is a mantle, there

is a mandate and there is a message upon your life to be kingdom demonstrators.

Because all of us have this cry on the inside of us, no matter how great messages we hear

all the moves of the spirit we've had, the amount of people that we've seen healing

testimonies of in this ministry.

If you're really alive in the spirit that all of us would have this cry, God there must

be more than this.

There must be more than what I've seen, there must be more than what I've experienced,

there must be more to what I've gone or known.

Are you hearing me tonight this morning, it's afternoon, whatever it is.

What I'm saying to us is that there is an invitation to come up here because there are angels

ascending and descending in this place and over your life and you haven't seen anything

yet compared to what you're about to see.

Here's what I believe.

I keep hearing the sound of a combination, remember those combination locks?

Remember the click, click, click, and God's about to bring you to that place where everything

unlocks.

He's about to bring you to that place where everything seemed like it was locked all of

us then.

It's about to be, it's about to drop open, it's about to come open, I came up with a

clue.

This is going to be a new time and a new season, it's going to take you time to acclimate

to him.

Come on, I feel the acceleration and the acclimation of heaven in the room today.

Father right now in the name of Jesus, open their eyes.

Open their ears, open their hearts, their spirits to recognize that in this moment there

is a connection and a collision between Cairo's time and Cronos time, between natural time

and heaven's time.

Lord right now in the name of Jesus, Lord would you release that commissioning?

Lord would you release the methods of Jesus and the anointing of the Holy Spirit of

fresh and a new upon us today in Jesus' name, in Jesus' name, amen.

I mean that was on the keys this morning, I saw just you tiptoeing through the tulips.

I saw you dancing through fields of wildflowers, I saw you taking time to smell the roses.

And I heard the Lord say that you're on time, but you're not in time.

It means there's a party that's prompt, you're responsible, there's things.

But the Lord loves the way that you take your time.

And He loves the way that you take your time and you give it to Him as an offering.

And I just felt even that word about Cairo's and Cronos coming together is really a prophetic

word for you.

This timing is perfect and you're stepping into perfect timing.

This timing is perfect and you're stepping into perfect timing.

And the season of start stop, start stop, start stop has come to an end.

And I do all of that.

So when I just thank you, Lord, I bless her into that.

We bless you into your next.

Here's a cool word, next expectation.

The Lord's about to release next expectations upon us.

Don't look it up, it doesn't exist yet.

It's an expectation into the next.

Next expectation.

When I believe this, it's time to get excited about the future again.

There's a hope and a future.

Come on, it's time for the church to get out of the Mollie Grubs.

Here's what I know.

Jesus is fully persuaded.

He's fully convinced that you would have everything that He paid for at the cross.

Not a portion of it, but all of it.

And I believe right now in this place, there is that unlocking, there is that momentum.

I mean, I heard these words, momentum begins at the mountain.

Momentum begins at the mountain of the Lord.

I heard the Lord say she looks all pretty and put together, but she's out of control.

She's pretty and put together, but she is out of control.

Fireplaces are safe places to have a fire, but you, my friend, are a wildfire, uncontainable

and uncontrollable, just like him.

And I just felt like the Lord said that this is a season where you're going to go from

waiting to waiting, like from waiting about things or four things to actually waiting out

into the deep water.

And I felt like the Lord said, he's going to bring you in over your head.

He's going to bring you in over your head.

I love this saying that everything over your head is still under His feet.

And I just feel like this, that there's about to be a tweaking.

Even in the gifts of this world, there's about to be a tweaking, even prophetically, on

the inside of you.

He's giving you a different lens, the ability to see through the lens of His love, and

hear through His heart.

And so, Lord, I thank you for that, Lord, I thank you, Lord, for the book of testimony.

You know, we're singing, last night, Hell lost another one.

I saw, like, your prayer list, and it's like, I saw the Lord putting checkmarks and

going, Hell lost another one.

Throughout my life, I've had some successes and some misses.

My greatest failure is this.

I could never get God to change His mind about me, and I could never outrun my mom's prayers.

And there's something with you and other people in the room about mom's prayers.

It's kind of running in the Lord, grabbing you by the elastic of your drawers and just

snapping you back in place, you know.

Sorry for the descriptions.

I know you're more refined up here in New York City.

But where I live, sometimes you just got to learn you something.

Three laughs, that's all I got.

Your prophetic words are getting smaller and hellfire and brimstone coming to you right now.

Just kidding.

Calm down over there, Sparky.

Lord, thank you for your goodness, Lord, your kindness, your love.

That's better than life, but I thank you.

I kept hearing men that sound of abundance.

Don't underestimate being faithful in little things.

Don't despise small beginnings.

It looked like the cloud of a sound of a man's hand broke a drought.

In 2021, there was a flood at my house.

It revealed things that I would have never seen without the flood.

We bought the house like four years, prior three years, prior moved in.

We got a prophetic word about it, we moved into it.

Our first day there, we were walking around and we were confronted by a neighbor who

let us know that when I went to introduce myself to her, she said, I'm not going to tell

you my name.

You don't need to know it.

I don't want to know yours because you're not going to be here very long.

I don't like you already and you're not going to be here very long.

Welcome to the neighborhood.

It's like the welcome mic.

She'd be on the back of her deck just casting tormented day and night.

Sometimes she'd be yelling for her dogs but she was like just tormented and she was cursing

casting me and it's kind of like, do you understand that when they crossed over into the

promised land, there were still giants there?

Their focus wasn't the giants, the focus was the promise but there were still giants there.

And sometimes on the way in and even when you're there, there's going to be these voices

to try to get you to vacate your promise.

And so this flood comes after three years of just constant bombardment, spiritually and

verbally.

And the flood comes.

I'm out of town.

I get home the next morning and I put my feet on the ground and I sink into the mud

up to my knees.

And I just said, Lord, this is a mess.

And the Lord said, if you give me your eyes, I'm going to show you the miracle in the

mess.

And so I get to this place and put my boots on and my friends come and so my friends

are there where we get ready to start working.

My one friend has a word of knowledge and said, hey, let's clean up your neighbor's yard

before we even start any work on yours.

And her fence was down so I'm thinking a good idea.

Let's put the fence up.

I mean, not to keep her out, but to keep her dogs in.

You know, another like a, and so we start working over there.

And immediately she runs out of the house, comes to me, cussed me out, why are you here?

Why are you on my property?

I said, we're here to help you before we do any work on my property in your yard.

We're going to, we're going to do work on yours.

She can't figure it out.

I said, why are you here?

I said, because Jesus loves you and we love you.

And we're going to take care of your house before we take care of my house.

She said, I've cursed you, I've cursed you, I hate you, and you're going to help me.

I said, absolutely, because love looks like something and this is what love looks like.

So we clean up and change the laws and we put the fence up.

By noon she's eating fajitas with us on my front porch.

At six o'clock she shows up crying, knocks on the door and she has two six packs.

I'm sorry, there's two 12 packs.

Don't want to underestimate the generosity of God.

Of taco bell tacos.

Some of you were thinking beer, I know who the drinkers are, okay?

I saw it on your face, I saw you light up, I saw you laugh, I'm like, I want a neighbor like that, right?

She said, I don't have money but I have tacos.

Today if you were to listen sometimes at night, sometimes in the morning,

there's a new song coming from the back porch.

It's a song of worship, it's a song of the redeemed.

And God knew how to release a miracle in the mess.

And the reason I'm sharing that is just like the man with legions of demons in my friend Christopher A. Cornstalk.

And just like circumstances situation, do you think about an American around the world,

the wars and rumors of wars and economies and politics and all of those things?

I'm here to prophesy to you that there's about to be a miracle in the mess.

It might be in the mess of your marriage, it might be in the mess of your kids,

it might be in the mess of your finances, it might be in the mess of your neighborhood,

it might be in the mess of your household, it might be in the mess of the world that's around you.

But the Lord's about to give you eyes to see the miracles in the mess.

Can anybody relate to that work?

Can anybody receive that word today in the name of Jesus?

When I believe it, he is about to show up in the midst of it.

He's about to show up in the midst of it.

He doesn't waste the thing, he doesn't waste a tear, he doesn't waste a prayer,

he doesn't waste a moment.

God doesn't waste anything.

I used to start my testimony with, I wasted the first 26 years of my life.

And then the Lord said, you can't say that anymore because I don't waste anything.

What you call wasted, God calls perfume.

It's the fragrance of effrayal, where he makes you doubly fruitful in the place of your affliction.

Brother, I heard the Lord say, look at my son.

And I saw the eyes of heaven looking at you.

And here's what I saw, I saw you with rains walking horses to the water,

taking people by the hand and bringing them to the well and bringing them to the water.

Here's the old saying, you can bring them to the water, but can't make them drink.

But you're going to make that water, that living water irresistible.

You're going to teach people how to drink from the well of the Spirit.

Brother, I felt like the Lord wants you to know that you're significant.

That you're pastoring people and they don't even know you're pastoring them.

They just think that you're their friend, that you're having dinner with them,

that you're interested in them, that you're talking to them on breaks, that you take time to have conversations,

but you're pastoring people.

You're bringing people to the water, to the well.

And I heard the Lord say, thanks for being a man of conviction without being judgmental.

The conviction of the Holy Spirit is so beautiful in your life,

but at the same time it didn't become condemning or judgmental.

I love Holy Spirit, don't you?

I love that He's my comforter, but I also love that He's my convictor.

I walk through seasons of sin, I walk through seasons of brokenness,

and I've always been thankful for conviction,

because as long as I felt the conviction of the Holy Spirit, I knew He didn't leave me.

He didn't just convict me of sin, He convicts me of righteousness.

We focus on the negative.

Just like repentance, it's not just turning from sin, it's actually turning to God.

But I'm telling you right now, conviction is coming into New York City.

Place that anything goes and get whatever you want at any time of the day or night.

Convictions coming, not just convict people of their sin, but convict them of righteousness.

Saying, hey, you're better than that.

Can I tell you something, God's about to undo what the enemy tried to do,

and the people of God are about to get undone.

I want you to get undone, you can never get redone.

I'm just telling you right now, man.

He's a redeemer in a restore.

My floating on puffy clouds, believing for rainbows and pixie deaths, absolutely not.

I understand we live in a fallen world, and there's all kinds of corruption and crazy.

But I know that what we are singing is true.

His kindness of mercy, his blood that was shed, the goodness of God.

We're about to see it.

There's about to be an awakening of it like never before.

In Jesus mighty name.

My brother, you've got some letters on your shirt, watch shirt, letters, you've got your arms folded right there.

What's your name, man?

Christian?

It's a good name.

I'm a Christian, you're a Christian.

Wouldn't you like to be a Christian, too?

Well, thanks for Christian.

Lord, I thank you for the unveiling.

Lord, I thank you that you're about to unveil your face, and he's about to see you as you really are.

Brother, I saw you looking into the eyes of Jesus.

And it was this beautiful thing that you are each looking into each other's eyes.

And when you see eye to eye, that's what we say means you agree.

And I saw you in agreement with God and agreement with his word and agreement with his heart.

And I heard the Lord say, my son stands out and he stands up, but he doesn't stand alone.

And I just feel like this that even that word about conviction, he's made to a man of great conviction.

It means that you've got character, you'd say, this is what I believe, this is what I know, this is my standard.

It doesn't mean that you're perfect, but it means that you're pursuing.

It means that you're pursuing the Lord.

And brother, I'm just telling you right now, the hand of the Lord is about to deposit so much stuff to the very depths of your being.

And I saw wisdom surrounding you, wisdom in business things, wisdom in life.

And not just the word of wisdom, but even the wisdom that Solomon sought after.

When the Lord asked him, what would you want?

If you want wisdom or you want riches, and Solomon asked for wisdom and God gave them both.

And I'm telling you right now that there is an anointing of wisdom and wealth.

And he's giving you the wisdom first so that you actually know how to use the wealth for the kingdom.

I'm not a prosperity prophet, not everybody gets a Mercedes in a new house, but I do believe this that there are moments where God marks us.

And this may even seem like a simple word to you, but this is going to be a moment that marks you.

It's going to be better than a business degree from any of the great universities or colleges.

It's going to come to you from the school of the spirit.

It doesn't mean you don't learn from other sources, but I'm telling you there's about to be almost like a degree from the school of the spirit come upon you.

In Jesus name, in Jesus name, in Jesus name, in Jesus name, in the white sweater.

All day, it was like I saw the Lord looking at you and I saw streams of the tears of Jesus flowing down his face.

They were tears of joy.

They were tears of hope.

They were excitement.

It's like when you watch your child walk across the stage at a graduation or down the aisle on a wedding day.

It was that kind of like godly pride and satisfaction.

And I feel like that this is a season where the Lord's about to envelop you and encapsulate you in his heart.

And from that place of his heart, it's like the Lord's going to open the curtains of heaven and give you glimpses into the future.

When I was looking at you earlier, I heard the Lord say, tell her, this is the season of hope and a future.

And there's not just hope for today, but there's bright hope for tomorrow.

And so Lord, I just thank you right now for this season of hope rising up on the inside of her in Jesus name, amen.

So what I thank you for this amazing man who's like the Holy Spirit C.I.A.

I don't mean to blow your cover, Clark Kent, but here's what I felt.

Like the Lord said, he's anointed you like Holy Spirit Secret Service, like Holy Spirit C.I.A.

It's where all the secrets are carried.

And here's the beauty of the secrets of the Lord, the secret things belong to the Lord, but that which he reveals belong to us

and our children's children forever.

But the secret is in the secret.

When you seek him, you find him, when you seek after him with your whole heart.

And I'm just telling you right now, you're going to know the whisper of the secrets of the Lord in your ear.

You're going to know the whisper of the secrets of the Lord.

And I saw the Lord giving you footing and almost like I saw you finally sitting back and relaxing.

And I felt like the Lord said that you've been one who's been living and going through life.

But it's almost like you haven't found that place you call home yet.

Like I feel like you always feel like you're in transition or doing this.

And so you never come to that place of like all I'm pack all the boxes.

And I'm just telling you right now, the Lord's bringing to that place of home is where the heart is.

And the Lord said that his heart is in you and with you, he's made his home with you.

But this is going to be a season where you're going to feel like I'm finally home.

Whether that's church, whether that's just normal life, family, those things.

And I just felt like the Lord said, never alone.

Lord, I thank you right now that even where the enemy would try to come in and create loneliness.

That Lord today, that's broken.

And that Lord that there should be a season of healing him, even right down to the very place of his soul and his heart.

And Jesus mighty name.

And Jesus mighty name my little brother right there.

What's your name, buddy?

Right next. Christian, another Christian.

I'm a Christian. You're a Christian when you like to be a Christian too.

To bad joke, try to twice, didn't get any response.

Somebody laughed over there. They might get a good word for that.

Christian, I just saw just the hand of the Lord.

And it was like he grabbed your hand and his hand.

And you didn't like he weren't just walking together, but you just began to run together.

Almost to the point where like you would see in cartoons or TV shows where that person's behind

that their feet come off the ground and just come running with.

And I felt like the Lord said to tell you that he's putting you on an accelerated path with him in relationship.

And I feel like this that the Lord has anointed you to hear his voice, to know his voice.

And there's a, I heard this word, it's going to sound again, maybe simple.

I heard the Lord say that he's going to be known as the real deal.

Like even in your, in your young life, you've had this gift and act to just tell it how it is.

So you don't sugar code it. Sometimes you like, you can't say it like that.

You need to say it nicer.

You'd be walking in the store or in a restaurant in your family.

Like that person's no good.

Right. And it's, it's, it's discernment.

It's, it's this prophetic gift on the inside of you.

And I thought, you know, the Lord will temper it. He'll, he'll, you know,

let's just say hard things in nice ways sometimes.

But the Lord's giving you a cutting edge in this spirit.

And don't let anybody let that go dull.

Like I feel like the men in your life, people in your life are going to keep sharpening

that sort of the prophetic in you.

And so Lord, I, Lord, for whatever it's worth to, to Christian, I release all that I carry

and more to him.

We're let, not just a double portion, but an unlimited portion and supply come over him today.

In Jesus name, in Jesus name.

I mean, you're kind of looking at me in the white shirt.

Yeah, you just rolled your eyes a little bit.

That should be an international language, right?

When women roll their eyes, like we should know what that means.

Like don't mess with me.

Now I'm just, I mean, I just saw the hand of the Lord come upon you.

And it was like, I saw your eyes just getting bigger and bigger.

And the Lord said he's opening up your eyes of understanding.

But you're not just going to see, but you're going to perceive.

You're going to, you're actually going to know.

And I feel like this is an eye opening season for you.

Like the Lord's opening the eyes.

We sang it last night here.

Open the eyes of my heart.

And I just felt like the Lord is about to open your eyes to see.

Even when I was praying that earlier today about the cloud, the size of a man's hand,

that word about don't, don't, don't, don't, don't despise the days of small beginnings.

For in due season, you'll reap if you faint now.

There's some things you stepped out in, even in just in faith.

And the Lord said that it's going to actually release like an avalanche

of the blessed things in the breakthroughs of heaven.

And I felt like this.

I saw like the Lord putting tape over the enemy's mouth.

In every place that's created a lie in your head that created an issue in your heart,

even about your own self or image or all those things.

So I saw the word healing that.

And I feel like the Lord's going to use you.

You know, there's that song, words that don't even know who's saying it,

but the words are, she doesn't know she's beautiful.

I saw you helping women who don't even know that they're beautiful.

You don't know you're beautiful, but you're beautiful.

And I just really believe right now, the Lord's about to give you your break.

It's not a breaking, not a breakthrough, but that when those doors open.

So, and you're not a prisoner to lie for circumstance.

You're a prisoner of hope according to Zachariah 9 and 12.

It says, return to the stronghold you prisoners of hope and I'll restore double.

This is the season where the Lord's restoring double, double doors, double opportunity.

And so Lord, I just thank you for that.

In Jesus name.

In Jesus name.

In Jesus name.

So, I felt like the Lord said he came to terminate what people have called terminal.

I don't know, I don't necessarily believe it's somebody in the room,

but I believe maybe it's a parent of somebody in the room

that they have a terminal diagnosis.

And the Lord's going to turn the death sentence into a life sentence.

I feel like there's about to be a turnaround with somebody with a very terminal disease.

And I would say that I don't even feel like it's cancer.

I feel like it's something else.

And the Lord's about to show up and turn it around.

I don't not explain it, but he's healing.

He felt like really it's your mother on a cellular level.

They don't bear witness with anybody in the room.

Or is it my McDonald's from last night?

See, I'd rather step out and faith and miss it than keep it to myself and have it right.

That's you.

Yeah, so what's her first name?

Oh, so Lord, we thank you for Francis.

Lord, right now in the name of Jesus, there's no distance in the spirit.

So we send your word to Francis, right where she is.

And Lord, I thank you that there is a quickening in her physical body.

That Lord, you're actually going to even rejuvenate her.

That Lord, that you're about to do something in her mind.

That Lord, there are things you haven't finished yet with her.

She's about to come to a new knowledge and an awakening of your presence

and your goodness and who you are.

And so Lord, we send the word to Francis,

where we send the other host of heaven into that room.

And Lord, I thank you.

Lord, I don't know what the extension is.

But Lord, I believe you're releasing healing because that's who you are over her.

And Lord, you're never too old for a miracle.

And so no matter her age, no matter how long she's walked with this,

I know what you said today.

So we released a healing, a miracle.

Lord, the manifestation of that word in Francis's life,

in Jesus' name, amen.

So maybe this would be the last point.

But I just thought I'd rather miss it in faith and get it right

and never say it in disobedience.

I was in a meeting a couple years ago, a young adult's meeting on a Monday night.

And the Lord gave me this word about a word of knowledge with a name,

Stephen Stevenson.

And so I'm talking to Algo, is there a Stephen here, a Stephen Steven,

and nobody responds crickets, okay?

And so I move on, I explain like I'd rather miss it in faith and get it right.

Love, love.

I'm going to show a few more people.

To be honest, I'm a little bit deflated, but I'm still going.

Finally, the meeting ends.

There's about 10 people in the room and this guy comes up to me.

I go, hey man, I'm David.

He goes, hey, I'm Stephen Stevenson.

And I go, when did you get here?

He said, I've been here all night.

He said, did you hear what I said?

He said, yeah.

I said, why didn't you respond?

He said, I wanted to see what you did.

And that night he gave his life to the Lord, not because of how I acted on the word of knowledge,

but how I didn't try to sell it.

And he goes, well, it must be online.

You're going to watch in three years.

And I want you to put a note thumbs up in the comment for me, you know?

And let me go create a fake Google account so I can be Stephen Stevenson, right?

And he tells me there's 10 people in the room and I'm like, where did everybody go?

I got it right.

I got it.

It had nothing to do with getting it right.

Don't miss it.

Don't get so impacted by accuracy.

You forget intimacy or even the purpose of prophecy, which is knowing Jesus.

And the reason I'm saying that is because you can get really good at the gift and you

can forget the purpose.

And I just believe right now that the Lord laid an amazing foundation.

I won't invite myself, but I do have some pull on the board.

At some point, it would be amazing to do like a school of the spirit, like a week long

school of the Prophecy of School.

Because here's why I know how it transforms people's lives.

And it's about knowing God more and those beautiful things.

I believe right now what I just shared with you just created courage in somebody because

your biggest fear is missing it.

What I would have thought was a miss actually turned out to be right.

It built my confidence, it built my trust in the Lord in a greater way, but it also helped

me get rid of more and more of the fear of man.

Where are you hearing me?

And so I believe the Lord is shifting some of those things.

Hey, my man, you got your baby and your arms are getting ready to walk out, I understand

all that.

But I felt like the Lord said how you're carrying him is how he's carrying you.

And I believe it's a picture of the Lord, but I also believe this is going to come a

day where you're going to watch that sun feel like he's carrying you.

And it's going to be this divine exchange, not only of Father's Son, but actually a friendship

that's going to be a beautiful thing.

But I just felt like the word was saying to you that this is the season of open heavens

and open doors.

And I saw walls of resistance for whatever reason and I saw walls of resistance coming

down.

And that which we resisted you kind of like a headwind is about to turn around and be a

tailwind and propel you and accelerate you into the next season.

Even the one that's in your arms, I felt like the Lord said that I've made him like a modern

day Barnabas.

He's going to be a son of encouragement.

He's going to know how to navigate and walk through both the business realm and the

ministry realm.

And he's going to bring those worlds together in Jesus' name.

Amen.

Amen.

My friend, genius, soundboard, we're Instagram friends.

I followed you for about nine, ten years.

And just come here a minute.

Please.

I know I'm in New York.

I can be commanding like, get over here.

Brother, you're not just on my Instagram thing, but I don't know what it was ten years

ago, nine years ago.

So the Lord kind of lit you and written you on my heart.

And I don't communicate with you in those things, but I watch what you do and how you

sell guitars and pedals and all of those things.

And every time I look at it, I feel the excitement of heaven.

And I asked the Lord what that excitement was and the Lord said he didn't know it yet,

but I'm going to create a new technology with him.

I feel like there's, you know, if it's weak, it might be a better mouth trap, whatever,

but there's something that the Lord is doing.

And even what some people have called a hobby, the Lord calls holy.

Come on.

What started as a hobby, the Lord calls holy.

And I was even watching you in this morning.

There was this moment just had your eyes closed and you're playing guitar and the Lord said

he's here, but he's not here.

And I said, he's tired, did he stay out and play in last night or something?

And the Lord said, no, he's here, but he's not here.

He's here, but he's also seated with me and in me and heavenly places.

And I've made him a conductor of heaven, I'm telling you about it.

When you play the guitar, the strings are going to prophesy.

You're not just playing, you're prophesying.

You're not just playing, you're prophesying.

I saw the Lord lifting a glass to you and like giving you a cheers.

And I just feel like that this is going to be a season like of celebration dinners of

just running, like I saw your running laps, victory laps in the days ahead.

And I'm just telling you, even though it seems like it was slower than you expected, I'm

telling you the Lord is about to cause you to be not only doubly fruitful, but I feel

like the windfall of the Holy Spirit, the windfall of resources, about to flow over you.

And so, Lord, I bless Him today and Jesus name and Jesus name and name.

Lord, I thank you for this house.

I thank you for Cityline, the city stood on a hill whose light should who cannot be hidden.

But I thank you for her calling, which is sure, her time, which is now.

But Lord, this would be a season where there would be an emerging,

or an emerging of this next generation of leadership and evangelists and revivalists and

sons and daughters of God carrying this flame of fire to the city and the nation and the

nations of the earth. But I pray, Lord, for a deep deposit, a deep deposit.

But I thank you, Lord, you've given me the responsibility, but also the privilege to release

the Prophet's reward. I release the Prophet's reward over every person within the sound of my

voice, watching online, over Cityline as a church in the ministry. The Prophet's reward is

increase. It's also babies, but that's up to you. It's the gift of prophecy, words of knowledge,

words of wisdom. It's also the word, the promises of God coming to pass, and accelerate your form

and function. And so, Lord, I pray that your people would hear better than I can hear,

see clearer than I could see, no more than I can know, and more accurately, proficiently say,

more than I could ever say. And I release the Prophet's reward over this house,

Lord, they didn't just accept me, they received me. And so, Lord, I thank you, you said,

if you receive a Prophet, the name of a Prophet, you really receive a Prophet's reward.

And I release that over my friends and my family today. In Jesus' name, amen.
