00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.720
Good morning, good morning, good morning, I hope you're doing great.

2
00:00:04.720 --> 00:00:12.720
I hadn't told anyone specifically that I was going to be jumping on live this morning,

3
00:00:12.720 --> 00:00:21.440
but I am, and I'm going to be chatting about in this video, so I'm going to go live each

4
00:00:21.520 --> 00:00:28.240
morning this week at the same time, 7am, and we are going to be chatting about

5
00:00:30.800 --> 00:00:37.600
prayer, we're going to be chatting about the 24-7 prayer wall that we have set up with Raising

6
00:00:37.600 --> 00:00:43.840
Royalty, it's happening right now, 24-7 prayer this week, we've got a week-long prayer meeting

7
00:00:43.840 --> 00:00:47.200
happening right now, so we're going to be talking about that, and my goal this week

8
00:00:47.200 --> 00:00:55.920
is to increase the joy levels on the planet, all right, very cool, so stay tuned, stay tuned,

9
00:00:55.920 --> 00:01:01.680
my goal this week is to increase the joy levels on this planet, if you like that goal,

10
00:01:02.240 --> 00:01:07.520
then let me know that you like it, so hey, cool to be connecting with you wherever you are

11
00:01:07.520 --> 00:01:11.520
in the world, I'm streaming on a couple of different places right now, so

12
00:01:12.480 --> 00:01:19.920
say hello, let me know where you're tuning in from in the world, whether you're live or whether

13
00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:24.640
you are watching the replay, it's awesome to have you with us, I'm just going to do a quick check

14
00:01:24.640 --> 00:01:29.760
of the tech and make sure this is streaming like it should be,

15
00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:40.160
Primo, it's happening, cool fam, so yeah, let me know where you are in the world and what's

16
00:01:40.160 --> 00:01:46.480
happening for you, but this is a big moment, we have been wanting to set up 24-7 prayer for a

17
00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:53.840
while, so what's happened is 48 people have jumped up and said, yes, we would love to pray, and so

18
00:01:53.840 --> 00:02:01.520
what each of the people are doing is they've taken a half an hour space in the day, and each day this

19
00:02:01.520 --> 00:02:06.160
week they will be praying a lot, well they'll be praying for that half an hour, so that's going to

20
00:02:06.160 --> 00:02:16.880
be their standard they're taking, and so with Nehemiah, so you'll probably be familiar with

21
00:02:16.880 --> 00:02:26.000
Nehemiah, but when Nehemiah was around, he got pretty upset, just like real quick abbreviation

22
00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:33.520
of Nehemiah's story, Nehemiah heard that Jerusalem was in ruins, that the walls were torn

23
00:02:33.520 --> 00:02:38.800
down, the people were in poverty, it was just a nasty space over there, and he was really

24
00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:45.920
heartbroken, he goes to the king, the king gives him favour, he's like, sweet, he gets all this

25
00:02:45.920 --> 00:02:52.640
favour, he's able to go back to Jerusalem and rebuild the wall, so he surveys the wall and he's

26
00:02:52.640 --> 00:02:58.640
like, flip, this wall's a mess, then he tells everyone, hey, we're going to rebuild the wall,

27
00:02:58.640 --> 00:03:05.680
and what's cool about that is each family took a part of the wall, and they defended that part

28
00:03:05.680 --> 00:03:10.960
of the wall, they rebuilt that part of the wall, they slept there, they guarded there,

29
00:03:11.680 --> 00:03:16.240
and by doing it like that, they actually rebuilt the wall in record time, it was like 52 days,

30
00:03:16.240 --> 00:03:25.040
ridiculous speed that they rebuilt the wall, which was just wild, so that's what our 24-7

31
00:03:25.040 --> 00:03:30.000
prayer wall is, kind of based off Nehemiah's model, that each person takes a half an hour,

32
00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:33.840
and they kind of stand, and that's their stand, they're going to pray there, they're going to hold

33
00:03:33.840 --> 00:03:39.440
that half an hour in the day, that's their stand, so let me know, just drop prayer in the comments,

34
00:03:39.440 --> 00:03:44.720
if you love prayer, if you love the idea of 24-7 prayer, just drop prayer in the comments,

35
00:03:45.600 --> 00:03:52.560
now this 24-7 prayer wall, sometimes in the past we've done 24-hour prayer meetings,

36
00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:58.720
and the whole 24 hours has been live, it's not going to be like that, with this 24-7 prayer

37
00:03:58.720 --> 00:04:04.880
meeting, there'll be some extra lives, some extra worship, I'll be doing live each morning this week,

38
00:04:04.880 --> 00:04:10.400
and my focus this each week, yeah, each morning this week, I'll be doing live, but my focus this

39
00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:15.760
week is going to be on joy, so I'm going to be talking about alignment with the mind of Christ,

40
00:04:15.760 --> 00:04:21.040
I'm going to be doing a bunch of praying, and a bunch of joy activations, so there's going to be

41
00:04:21.040 --> 00:04:28.400
a lot of joy, my goal this week is to unleash whole new levels of joy, so stay tuned for that,

42

basis, so if you're not watching this, if you're watching this and you're not in the Raising Royalty

just drop royalty in the comments and we'll drop a link there that you can access the group for free.

50
00:05:06.800 --> 00:05:13.680
So let me start right now just by saying, you know, obviously everyone around the world is

51
00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:20.320
in a place of like, whoa, what is going down? This is a crazy space, a crazy time in world

52
00:05:20.320 --> 00:05:27.680
history. It absolutely is. I 100% agree that it's crazy. And there's two sides to this coin

53
00:05:27.680 --> 00:05:33.760
when we're processing everything that's going on right now, right? So one part of the process is

54
00:05:33.760 --> 00:05:41.040
the reactive process where we're responding to the psychological warfare that's being unleashed

55
00:05:41.040 --> 00:05:45.840
like a tsunami through the media. So there's that dynamic where we're processing like,

56
00:05:45.840 --> 00:05:50.720
what the heck? That new law got passed? This new law got passed? They did what? Who did what? Are

57
00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:56.960
you kidding? What? They died? Oh my, what? It's wild, crazy chaos right now in the space of

58
00:05:56.960 --> 00:06:01.760
processing everything, right? And that's really normal and that's really needed because there's

59
00:06:01.760 --> 00:06:07.440
so much psychological warfare being unleashed through the media that's very calculated,

60
00:06:07.440 --> 00:06:13.120
very clinical, but it's also very traumatic. So people in a space where there's a lot of trauma

61
00:06:13.120 --> 00:06:17.920
going on with what people are processing. And so that's one side is the reactive and we really

62
00:06:17.920 --> 00:06:22.080
need to do that well. We need to chat, we need to connect, we need to process this out, make sure

63
00:06:22.080 --> 00:06:27.200
that we're actually not, you know, we're not being shaken by that. But then there's the other side of

64
00:06:27.200 --> 00:06:32.240
it, which is the proactive side. So you can get caught in that reactive side and a lot of people

65
00:06:32.240 --> 00:06:36.560
getting caught in that reactive side, just getting caught, cycled up in what the media is doing,

66
00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:41.520
cycled up in what, you know, what Satan's doing and like, getting overwhelmed from that and kind

67
00:06:41.520 --> 00:06:47.680
of, you know, increased fear, increased stress, increased like sense of overwhelm, like, oh my

68
00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:53.120
gosh, let me know if you're feeling that, let me know if you're feeling the sense of psychological

69
00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:57.280
warfare that's being released through the media. It's very targeted, very intentional. So there's

70
00:06:57.280 --> 00:07:01.280
that side of things, right? So you've got to process that well, but if you're not processing

71
00:07:01.280 --> 00:07:09.040
from heaven to earth, you'll be overwhelmed in the wrong way, okay? Say from heaven to earth,

72
00:07:09.040 --> 00:07:14.960
we're supposed to be processing from heaven to earth and we're supposed to be praying from heaven

73
00:07:14.960 --> 00:07:19.840
to earth. We're not supposed to be getting like, getting caught up in what the devil's doing,

74
00:07:19.840 --> 00:07:25.040
getting caught up in what the media is doing and then trying to pray from that place of being

75
00:07:25.040 --> 00:07:30.160
overwhelmed. You know, like Jesus slept through the storm. Cool quote from Bill Johnson is this,

76
00:07:30.160 --> 00:07:36.640
you can't rule over a storm that you can't sleep through. Check that out. You can't rule over a

77
00:07:36.640 --> 00:07:41.680
storm that you can't sleep through. So if the storm has got you overwhelmed and you're like,

78
00:07:41.680 --> 00:07:48.080
like crazy, overwhelmed, undone by the storm, you're not going to be able to arise and rule

79
00:07:48.080 --> 00:07:53.280
and reign over the storm in your life if it's overwhelmed you. The key is being overwhelmed

80
00:07:53.280 --> 00:07:56.800
by what heaven's doing, being overwhelmed by the mind of Christ, being overwhelmed by what's

81
00:07:56.800 --> 00:08:02.960
unhappening right now in heaven, having our minds closed in three, two, set, fixed on heavenly things,

82
00:08:02.960 --> 00:08:07.760
not on earthly things, and then praying from heaven to earth. And that's the model that

83
00:08:07.760 --> 00:08:12.160
will actually enable us to rule and reign over the storm. That's the model that will enable us to,

84
00:08:12.160 --> 00:08:17.680
you know, holding scepters of authority and dominion and ruling and reigning as beloved

85
00:08:17.680 --> 00:08:22.880
sons of the most high God, seated in heavenly places in Christ at the right hand of the Father,

86
00:08:23.520 --> 00:08:26.960
being those that are actually the government of God. We're actually, what we're doing,

87
00:08:26.960 --> 00:08:30.880
what we're saying, what we're praying is actually shaping and shifting atmosphere. So

88
00:08:32.480 --> 00:08:36.400
I want to talk, that's what we're going to be talking about this week, and that's what we're

89
00:08:36.400 --> 00:08:43.760
going to be doing this week. So I'm going to make one kind of one key point this morning,

90
00:08:43.760 --> 00:08:49.600
and then I'm going to wrap it up for this morning. But my one key point this morning is that

91
00:08:49.600 --> 00:08:54.880
when we pray in alignment with heaven, all right, when we pray in alignment with heaven,

92
00:08:56.160 --> 00:09:01.840
when we're in alignment with the mind of Christ, we are invincible.

93
00:09:02.720 --> 00:09:10.240
Let me contextualize this. Why would we be invincible? Okay, so here's what I want you to ask

94
00:09:10.800 --> 00:09:18.320
yourself. Anytime you get in a place of stress, overwhelm, fear, lack, you know, negative thinking,

95
00:09:18.320 --> 00:09:22.400
negative emotions, anytime you're struggling in any way, what I want you to do is I want you to

96
00:09:22.400 --> 00:09:26.000
just stop, all right? So if you're in that place right now, I just want you to go, I just want you

97
00:09:26.640 --> 00:09:32.800
to stop. Okay, let's stop right now. And I want you to ask Holy Spirit, say, Holy Spirit,

98
00:09:34.000 --> 00:09:40.960
are you afraid right now? When you ask Holy Spirit, Holy Spirit, are you overwhelmed right now?

99
00:09:42.560 --> 00:09:52.240
Holy Spirit, are you stressed out right now? Holy Spirit, are you concerned that the devil

100
00:09:52.240 --> 00:09:57.040
is going to win right now? Okay, and when you stop and when you ask that,

101
00:09:57.040 --> 00:09:59.840
the Holy Spirit's every time going to say, no, I'm not afraid.

102
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:04.880
No, I'm not stressed. No, I don't feel like I'm in lack. No, I don't feel like the devil's going

103
00:10:04.880 --> 00:10:09.280
to win. No, no, no. Listen, the Holy Spirit is always going to say to you, actually, no,

104
00:10:09.920 --> 00:10:14.240
I feel invincible. The Holy Spirit's going to say, no, I feel my joy levels are at 100%.

105
00:10:15.520 --> 00:10:21.520
And this is a good question to ask yourself as well. Where are your joy levels at? Because

106
00:10:21.520 --> 00:10:27.600
your joy levels are a great indicator of the level of alignment that you're walking in with

107
00:10:27.600 --> 00:10:31.680
the mind of Christ. So ask yourself right now, where are your joy levels at? On a scale of one

108
00:10:31.680 --> 00:10:38.080
to 10, where are your joy levels at? Are your joy levels at a one, a two, a three, a four,

109
00:10:38.080 --> 00:10:44.160
a five? Actually, you're kind of more de-stressed and depressed than you are overwhelmed by the

110
00:10:44.160 --> 00:10:50.720
fullness of joy. Where are you at? Just check that space right now. Where are you at on your

111
00:10:50.720 --> 00:10:56.240
joy levels? Because the Holy Spirit, if you ask the Holy Spirit, hey, Holy Spirit, on a scale of

112
00:10:56.240 --> 00:11:01.280
one to 10, where are your joy levels at? Holy Spirit's going to be like, my joy levels are 10

113
00:11:01.280 --> 00:11:08.080
out of 10. You know, like the Holy Spirit's joy levels are 100% all the time. And when Jesus said

114
00:11:08.800 --> 00:11:16.000
in John 8, 12, I am the light of the world. Anyone who follows me will never walk in darkness,

115
00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:21.280
but they will have the light of life. All right. They will never walk in darkness. What is that

116
00:11:21.280 --> 00:11:27.600
darkness? Darkness is fear, stress, overwhelm, anxiety, lack, depression, all of that. You will

117
00:11:27.600 --> 00:11:32.320
never walk in darkness, right? You will never walk in darkness if you're in alignment with the mind

118
00:11:32.320 --> 00:11:36.880
of Christ. And he said, but they will have the light of life. And what is that life? It's the

119
00:11:36.880 --> 00:11:43.840
word Zoe. It's the Greek word for life. And Jesus defined that. He said, I am the way, the truth,

120
00:11:43.840 --> 00:11:48.560
and the life. All right. I am the way, the truth, and life, John 14, 6. I am the way, the truth,

121
00:11:48.560 --> 00:11:52.080
and the life. So if you want to know what Zoe looks like, if you want to know what that life

122
00:11:52.080 --> 00:11:59.280
looks like, it looks like God. It's the exact same emotional state of being as God. We're called to

123
00:11:59.280 --> 00:12:07.840
carry Zoe, the exact same emotional state of being as God. And so your emotions are the fruit

124
00:12:08.400 --> 00:12:13.440
of your attention, right? Where's your attention at? Where are your beliefs at? Where's your

125
00:12:13.440 --> 00:12:17.760
mindset at? If your mindset is in alignment with the mind of Christ, you will produce

126
00:12:17.760 --> 00:12:26.560
the divine state of being, right? You will manifest the divine life in your flesh, right?

127
00:12:26.560 --> 00:12:33.440
You will become a manifestation of the life of Christ right here. But to become a manifestation

128
00:12:33.440 --> 00:12:38.800
of the life of Christ, it requires that you actually step into alignment with the mind of

129
00:12:38.800 --> 00:12:43.680
Christ. So ask Holy Spirit, hey, Holy Spirit, where are your joy levels at? And Holy Spirit's

130
00:12:43.680 --> 00:12:48.640
going to be like, man, my joy levels are a 10 out of 10. And so the question for you is like,

131
00:12:48.640 --> 00:12:52.880
where are your joy levels at? And how can you shift them? If your joy levels are less than 10

132
00:12:52.880 --> 00:13:00.080
out of 10, how can we shift them? Because we're called to live actually in alignment with the

133
00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:06.160
mind of Christ. Living from heaven to earth looks like 10 out of 10 joy levels all the time. Now,

134
00:13:06.480 --> 00:13:12.480
this is not hype. No, this is not hype. This is not unattainable. Religion will tell you

135
00:13:12.480 --> 00:13:18.560
that that's just hype. You can't attain that. Listen, religion will be just like switch the

136
00:13:18.560 --> 00:13:21.920
topic and go, oh, well, but there's so many suffering. I tell you what, the people who

137
00:13:21.920 --> 00:13:27.120
are persecuted know joy the best, right? And one of my favorite stories of all time is the

138
00:13:27.120 --> 00:13:33.200
Chinese pastor who spent 27 years being persecuted, tortured in a Chinese prison.

139
00:13:33.200 --> 00:13:38.560
And then when he got out, everyone asked him, man, how did you survive 27 years in prison? And

140
00:13:38.560 --> 00:13:44.640
he said, what do you mean, how did I survive? It was my 27-year honeymoon with Jesus, all right?

141
00:13:44.640 --> 00:13:50.640
So don't try and justify saying, oh, like the sufferings for Christ. Sufferings for Christ

142
00:13:50.640 --> 00:13:56.400
don't rob us of joy. Like James wrote, consider it pure joy, my friends, when you suffer persecutions

143
00:13:56.400 --> 00:14:02.000
and hardships of all kinds. Consider it pure joy. So as we're praying, as we're going through

144
00:14:02.000 --> 00:14:08.560
everything, wherever we're at, there is this opportunity, open door, invitation for us to live

145
00:14:08.560 --> 00:14:14.320
from heaven to earth. And from heaven to earth looks like the fullness of joy. Even when you

146
00:14:14.320 --> 00:14:18.480
are weeping with your brother who is weeping, even when there's chaos, even when there's things

147
00:14:18.480 --> 00:14:22.800
happening in Afghanistan. I tell you what, that the people that are going through in Afghanistan,

148
00:14:22.800 --> 00:14:27.600
they'll be having the same mindset as Christ in many times. Yes, there's fear, stress, crazy,

149
00:14:27.600 --> 00:14:33.280
overwhelmed. But I tell you what, the grace of God is with our brothers and sisters in Afghanistan.

150
00:14:33.280 --> 00:14:40.000
The love of God, the peace of God that surpasses all understanding is with them strongly, right?

151
00:14:40.000 --> 00:14:45.360
Jesus hasn't abandoned them. He is with them in the midst of the chaos, right? He is our

152
00:14:47.360 --> 00:14:53.200
ever-present help in our time of trouble, in our time of need. The joy of the Lord

153
00:14:53.200 --> 00:14:58.560
will actually come with us in. Well, that's why it's a peace that surpasses all understanding.

154
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:04.840
We're going to be talking about that this week, of how you can increase your joy levels,

155
00:15:04.840 --> 00:15:09.560
how you can take your joy levels from wherever they are and lift them up into alignment with

156
00:15:09.560 --> 00:15:10.560
the mind of Christ.

157
00:15:10.560 --> 00:15:16.320
And that's my goal this week, is to increase the joy levels on the planet.

158
00:15:16.320 --> 00:15:21.320
So just drop joy in the comments if you think that is a great mission, if you think that's

159
00:15:21.320 --> 00:15:27.240
a great goal, if you want to increase your joy levels to a whole new realm, live from

160
00:15:27.240 --> 00:15:29.520
a whole new realm, a whole new dimension of joy.

161
00:15:29.520 --> 00:15:33.840
If you want to do that this week, then just join these sessions.

162
00:15:33.840 --> 00:15:36.600
It'll be in the Raising Royalty Masterclass group.

163
00:15:36.600 --> 00:15:41.160
So if you're not in the Raising Royalty Masterclass group, because I'll be live praying, I'll

164
00:15:41.160 --> 00:15:45.200
be at the beach, I'll just be on my phone, I won't be in my office.

165
00:15:45.200 --> 00:15:49.720
I'll be out and about praying, so that I can be noisy, I'll have my conch there, we'll

166
00:15:49.720 --> 00:15:54.440
be blowing the trumpet, we'll be having a good shundi, it'll be pretty wild and glorious

167
00:15:54.440 --> 00:15:55.440
this week.

168
00:15:56.440 --> 00:15:57.680
Join me for that.

169
00:15:59.200 --> 00:16:06.880
And let me give you a couple of scriptures on joy before we sign off for today.

170
00:16:07.640 --> 00:16:12.800
I'll give you one more thought and then we'll give a couple of scriptures on joy and then

171
00:16:12.800 --> 00:16:13.800
we'll wrap it up for today.

172
00:16:13.800 --> 00:16:24.360
But first thought is this, your joy levels are the direct result of your beliefs and

173
00:16:24.360 --> 00:16:25.360
your attention.

174
00:16:25.880 --> 00:16:31.560
So your joy levels are a direct result of your beliefs and your attention.

175
00:16:31.560 --> 00:16:36.040
So ask Holy Spirit, if you ask Holy Spirit, Holy Spirit, where are your joy levels at?

176
00:16:36.040 --> 00:16:38.080
The Holy Spirit will say, oh, 10 out of 10.

177
00:16:38.280 --> 00:16:44.840
You ask whatever your situation is, ask Holy Spirit, Holy Spirit, are you afraid?

178
00:16:44.840 --> 00:16:46.960
Holy Spirit, are you distressed?

179
00:16:46.960 --> 00:16:49.280
Holy Spirit, are you overwhelmed by what Satan's doing?

180
00:16:49.400 --> 00:16:51.560
And you'll find that the answer is no.

181
00:16:51.680 --> 00:16:55.360
And so you ask Holy Spirit, here's the key then to alignment.

182
00:16:55.360 --> 00:16:57.080
And this is what we're going to be working through this week.

183
00:16:57.240 --> 00:17:02.160
But the key then to alignment is asking, OK, Holy Spirit, what's the lie that I'm

184
00:17:02.160 --> 00:17:05.000
believing that's robbing me of my joy?

185
00:17:05.079 --> 00:17:10.480
OK, Holy Spirit, what's the lie that I'm believing that's robbing me of my joy?

186
00:17:10.800 --> 00:17:14.839
And then the Holy Spirit will start to speak to you and actually give you truth that

187
00:17:14.839 --> 00:17:16.400
increases your joy level.

188
00:17:16.400 --> 00:17:19.319
So that's what we're going to be focusing on this week is two things.

189
00:17:19.680 --> 00:17:23.560
Actually, what is the truth that increases your joy levels?

190
00:17:23.560 --> 00:17:28.600
And two is actually giving our attention to that truth, because you can have you can

191
00:17:28.600 --> 00:17:29.600
be aware of truth.

192
00:17:29.600 --> 00:17:31.840
And a lot of people actually a lot of Christians are in this place where they

193
00:17:31.840 --> 00:17:35.400
actually know the truth that could be increasing their joy levels.

194
00:17:35.680 --> 00:17:40.640
They just don't give they just don't put their attention on that truth because not

195
00:17:40.640 --> 00:17:43.720
putting their attention on that truth, their joy levels are stuck.

196
00:17:43.760 --> 00:17:48.680
So we need to put our attention on the truth that we know, on the things that we

197
00:17:48.680 --> 00:17:52.600
believe that we know will increase our joy levels.

198
00:17:52.760 --> 00:17:58.080
And here's one of the reasons why we have to really, really focus on our joy levels

199
00:17:58.080 --> 00:18:03.040
is because Nehemiah 8, 10, it says the joy of the Lord is your strength.

200
00:18:03.040 --> 00:18:04.120
And it absolutely is.

201
00:18:04.120 --> 00:18:05.600
The joy of the Lord is your strength.

202
00:18:05.920 --> 00:18:10.520
And if you can't let the first thing that Satan is going to come and try and rob you

203
00:18:10.520 --> 00:18:14.640
of in your in your life, whenever Satan tries to come and attack you in your life,

204
00:18:14.800 --> 00:18:17.480
the first thing he attacks is your joy.

205
00:18:17.520 --> 00:18:22.400
All right. But if Satan can't steal your joy, he can't steal anything.

206
00:18:22.400 --> 00:18:26.080
So the joy of the Lord is your strength.

207
00:18:26.280 --> 00:18:30.560
And if there's anything that we need right now, Ephesians 6 says, you know, you know,

208
00:18:30.560 --> 00:18:35.280
like we now having done all these things, stand.

209
00:18:35.280 --> 00:18:37.720
All right. What we have to do is we have to stand.

210
00:18:37.720 --> 00:18:40.560
But if we want to stand, we have to be strong.

211
00:18:40.560 --> 00:18:44.600
So where I'm going with this, talking about praying with the in alignment with the

212
00:18:44.600 --> 00:18:48.960
mind of Christ and having the joy of the Lord and alignment equals joy and joy equals

213
00:18:48.960 --> 00:18:51.400
strength and strength equals a stand.

214
00:18:51.400 --> 00:18:56.920
All right. So if we want to be unshakable, if we want to be unmovable, if we want to

215
00:18:56.920 --> 00:19:02.000
be those that aren't shaken by the storm, but those that rule and reign in power and

216
00:19:02.000 --> 00:19:05.800
love over the storm, those that act as the sons of God, those that act as the

217
00:19:05.800 --> 00:19:10.560
government of God, those that act as the ecclesia, those that pray and rule and reign

218
00:19:10.560 --> 00:19:14.640
from heaven to earth, if we want to be in that place, if we're trying to function in

219
00:19:14.640 --> 00:19:17.840
that place, then we've got to understand the joy of the Lord.

220
00:19:17.840 --> 00:19:19.800
We've got to pray in alignment with the mind of Christ.

221
00:19:19.800 --> 00:19:23.000
And when we're praying in alignment with the mind of Christ, boom, it will produce the

222
00:19:23.000 --> 00:19:28.920
joy of the Lord and joy equals strength and strength equals an unshakable stand.

223
00:19:28.920 --> 00:19:32.760
All right. And that's what we need to be doing right now in this hour is making an

224
00:19:32.760 --> 00:19:40.360
unshakable stand from heaven to earth, clothe in authority and dominion and love

225
00:19:40.360 --> 00:19:46.200
and joy and power and making an unshakable and movable stand and shifting atmospheres

226
00:19:46.200 --> 00:19:50.640
and shifting cultures and decreeing and declaring and mandating and legislating and

227
00:19:50.640 --> 00:19:54.520
not being overwhelmed by what's happening at the lower levels in the earthly realm.

228
00:19:54.520 --> 00:19:59.960
Colossians 3 to fix your mind, set your mind on what's happening in heavenly places.

229
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:03.120
Fix your minds on what's happening in heaven, not on earthly things,

230
00:20:03.120 --> 00:20:06.080
and then rule and reign and power and love from that place.

231
00:20:06.080 --> 00:20:06.880
So that's where we're going.

232
00:20:06.880 --> 00:20:09.280
But we're starting with alignment with the mind of Christ.

233
00:20:09.920 --> 00:20:12.800
Let me give you a couple of verses on joy,

234
00:20:12.800 --> 00:20:15.280
and then I'm going to wrap it up for this morning.

235
00:20:15.280 --> 00:20:18.000
So, right.

236
00:20:23.200 --> 00:20:26.160
Let me give you a couple of my favorites.

237
00:20:26.160 --> 00:20:29.760
Oh, here's an amazing one.

238
00:20:29.840 --> 00:20:31.440
John 15, 11.

239
00:20:31.440 --> 00:20:31.760
All right.

240
00:20:31.760 --> 00:20:32.960
This is Jesus speaking.

241
00:20:32.960 --> 00:20:33.760
John 15, 11.

242
00:20:33.760 --> 00:20:41.600
He said, I have spoken these things unto you so that my joy will continuously infuse you.

243
00:20:42.800 --> 00:20:46.560
You don't have to invent your own if you can tap into mine.

244
00:20:47.200 --> 00:20:50.480
This is the ultimate bliss.

245
00:20:52.000 --> 00:20:53.120
How good is that?

246
00:20:53.120 --> 00:20:55.760
I just want you to kind of get into a receiving moment,

247
00:20:55.760 --> 00:20:59.360
a receiving space right now as I just read some scriptures over you.

248
00:20:59.920 --> 00:21:00.800
I'll read this again.

249
00:21:00.800 --> 00:21:02.000
John 15, 11.

250
00:21:02.000 --> 00:21:07.840
I've spoken these things unto you so that my joy will continuously infuse you.

251
00:21:08.400 --> 00:21:11.760
You don't have to invent your own if you can tap into mine.

252
00:21:11.760 --> 00:21:14.720
This is the ultimate bliss.

253
00:21:15.440 --> 00:21:16.800
That's the mirror translation.

254
00:21:16.800 --> 00:21:21.120
Psalm 16, 11 says, You make known to me the path of life.

255
00:21:21.680 --> 00:21:27.040
In your presence, there is fullness of joy.

256
00:21:27.040 --> 00:21:30.400
At your right hand are pleasures forevermore.

257
00:21:30.400 --> 00:21:33.120
May that fullness of joy.

258
00:21:33.120 --> 00:21:35.040
Listen, in the presence.

259
00:21:36.880 --> 00:21:38.160
So Psalm 16, 11.

260
00:21:38.160 --> 00:21:42.080
You make known to me the path of life in your presence.

261
00:21:43.200 --> 00:21:45.200
So always in the presence of God.

262
00:21:46.320 --> 00:21:51.920
Always, always, always in the presence of God, there is fullness of joy.

263
00:21:53.600 --> 00:21:55.920
At your right hand are pleasures forevermore.

264
00:21:55.920 --> 00:21:58.000
Well, the fullness of joy is a person.

265
00:21:58.560 --> 00:22:00.480
The fullness of joy is your shoe.

266
00:22:00.480 --> 00:22:02.320
Jesus is the fullness of joy.

267
00:22:02.320 --> 00:22:06.080
And the fullness of joy lives inside of you.

268
00:22:06.080 --> 00:22:08.560
May the fullness of joy well up on you.

269
00:22:08.560 --> 00:22:10.960
May the fullness of joy overwhelm you.

270
00:22:10.960 --> 00:22:13.680
May the fullness of joy bubble up on you.

271
00:22:13.680 --> 00:22:15.600
May the fullness of joy marinade.

272
00:22:15.600 --> 00:22:17.120
You may have fullness of joy.

273
00:22:17.120 --> 00:22:17.840
Baptize you.

274
00:22:17.840 --> 00:22:20.160
May the fullness of joy amuse you.

275
00:22:20.160 --> 00:22:23.760
May the fullness of joy completely overwhelm you.

276
00:22:23.760 --> 00:22:27.440
May you live under a waterfall of the fullness of joy.

277
00:22:27.440 --> 00:22:31.360
May you live in an ocean of the fullness of joy.

278
00:22:31.360 --> 00:22:34.960
May you live in the fire of the fullness of joy.

279
00:22:34.960 --> 00:22:40.400
May you live perpetually in the awareness of the fullness of joy.

280
00:22:41.440 --> 00:22:42.720
Whoa, come on.

281
00:22:43.360 --> 00:22:44.880
Nehemiah 8.10.

282
00:22:44.880 --> 00:22:46.800
And Nehemiah continued,

283
00:22:46.800 --> 00:22:50.640
Go and celebrate with a feast of rich foods and sweet drinks

284
00:22:50.720 --> 00:22:55.200
and share gifts of food with people who have nothing prepared.

285
00:22:55.200 --> 00:22:58.320
This is a sacred day before our Lord.

286
00:22:58.320 --> 00:23:00.320
Don't be dejected and sad,

287
00:23:00.320 --> 00:23:04.640
for the joy of the Lord is your strength.

288
00:23:04.640 --> 00:23:05.360
Come on.

289
00:23:05.360 --> 00:23:09.520
That's why it's so necessary that we focus in on the joy of the Lord

290
00:23:09.520 --> 00:23:11.200
and we receive the joy of the Lord.

291
00:23:11.200 --> 00:23:13.920
We live overwhelmed by the joy of the Lord.

292
00:23:13.920 --> 00:23:16.560
Listen, the more serious things get on the planet,

293
00:23:16.560 --> 00:23:20.240
the more joy is necessary, right?

294
00:23:20.240 --> 00:23:23.200
And yeah, let me read another couple for you.

295
00:23:23.200 --> 00:23:24.480
Romans 15.13.

296
00:23:24.480 --> 00:23:26.480
May the God of hope.

297
00:23:26.480 --> 00:23:28.640
May the God of hope.

298
00:23:28.640 --> 00:23:30.080
And let me just declare this again.

299
00:23:30.080 --> 00:23:34.560
May the God of hope fill you with all joy.

300
00:23:34.560 --> 00:23:36.240
That's the fullness of joy again.

301
00:23:36.240 --> 00:23:42.960
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him

302
00:23:42.960 --> 00:23:49.520
so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

303
00:23:49.520 --> 00:23:50.640
Philippians 3.1.

304
00:23:51.520 --> 00:23:55.920
The conclusion of your faith, all right,

305
00:23:55.920 --> 00:24:01.840
the conclusion of your faith is extreme gladness in the Lord.

306
00:24:02.560 --> 00:24:06.560
He is your constant reference to bliss.

307
00:24:06.560 --> 00:24:09.440
I am not just saying this to be repetitive.

308
00:24:09.440 --> 00:24:12.800
Joy is your fortress.

309
00:24:12.800 --> 00:24:18.480
There is no safer place to be but to be ecstatically happy.

310
00:24:20.480 --> 00:24:21.760
Oh, so good.

311
00:24:22.640 --> 00:24:24.560
Jude 24 to 25.

312
00:24:24.560 --> 00:24:29.200
Now to Him who is able to keep you without stumbling or slipping or falling

313
00:24:29.200 --> 00:24:32.560
and to present you unblemished, blameless and faultless

314
00:24:32.560 --> 00:24:37.920
before the presence of His glory and triumphant joy and exaltation

315
00:24:37.920 --> 00:24:43.600
with unspeakable ecstatic delight to the one only God,

316
00:24:43.600 --> 00:24:45.920
our Savior through Jesus Christ, our Lord,

317
00:24:46.000 --> 00:24:51.200
the glory, splendor, majesty, might and dominion and power and authority

318
00:24:51.200 --> 00:24:56.000
before all time and now and forever and to all the ages of eternity.

319
00:24:56.000 --> 00:24:57.120
Amen.

320
00:24:57.120 --> 00:24:58.400
So be it.

321
00:24:58.400 --> 00:24:59.840
Well, may joy unspeakable.

322
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:07.920
May ecstatic delight, may triumphant joy and exultation, sprinkled with the conviction

323
00:25:07.920 --> 00:25:16.000
that God's purposes and plans are 100% invincible, unshakable, that His purpose will stand, His

324
00:25:16.000 --> 00:25:19.640
plans will stand, His people will stand.

325
00:25:19.640 --> 00:25:21.920
May that joy fill you.

326
00:25:21.920 --> 00:25:26.640
Oh, I'm going to give you, I'm going to give you one more and we're going to wrap it up

327
00:25:26.640 --> 00:25:31.240
with this one last scripture, 1 Peter 1.8 says, Though you have not seen Him, you love

328
00:25:31.240 --> 00:25:32.400
Him.

329
00:25:32.400 --> 00:25:39.680
And even though you do not see Him, now you believe in Him and are filled with an inexpressible

330
00:25:39.680 --> 00:25:42.000
and glorious joy.

331
00:25:42.000 --> 00:25:47.160
Now let me say one last thing about these scriptures.

332
00:25:47.160 --> 00:25:52.680
Most of these, well, most of these scriptures are written by people who were being persecuted.

333
00:25:52.680 --> 00:25:55.560
You know, their lives were at threat, and some of these people died.

334
00:25:55.560 --> 00:25:56.640
That was written by Peter.

335
00:25:56.640 --> 00:25:59.000
He was crucified upside down.

336
00:25:59.000 --> 00:26:00.000
That's what you have.

337
00:26:00.000 --> 00:26:01.960
That's what you have from persecuted people.

338
00:26:01.960 --> 00:26:06.040
This is the writings of persecuted people, they said, Though you have not seen Him, you

339
00:26:06.040 --> 00:26:07.040
love Him.

340
00:26:07.040 --> 00:26:11.680
And even though you do not see Him, now you believe in Him and are filled with an inexpressible

341
00:26:11.680 --> 00:26:13.120
and glorious joy.

342
00:26:13.120 --> 00:26:17.640
These are the writings of the persecuted, Jude, persecuted.

343
00:26:17.640 --> 00:26:24.240
And he writes, He can present you before the presence of His glory and triumphant joy and

344
00:26:24.240 --> 00:26:27.720
exaltation with unspeakable ecstatic delight.

345
00:26:27.720 --> 00:26:29.040
Come on, Paul.

346
00:26:29.040 --> 00:26:31.480
He was persecuted, martyred.

347
00:26:31.480 --> 00:26:33.200
These guys are all martyred, right?

348
00:26:33.200 --> 00:26:36.680
The conclusion of your faith, Philippians 3.1, the conclusion of your faith is extreme

349
00:26:36.680 --> 00:26:38.160
gladness in the Lord.

350
00:26:38.160 --> 00:26:40.680
He is your constant reference to bliss.

351
00:26:40.680 --> 00:26:42.920
I'm not just saying this to be repetitive.

352
00:26:42.920 --> 00:26:44.840
Joy is your fortress.

353
00:26:44.840 --> 00:26:49.360
There is no safer place to be but to be ecstatically happy.

354
00:26:49.360 --> 00:26:54.600
Now, how did Paul know that there is no safer place to be but to be ecstatically happy?

355
00:26:54.600 --> 00:26:57.240
It's because he had walked through persecution.

356
00:26:57.240 --> 00:26:59.520
He had had his people thought they'd killed him.

357
00:26:59.520 --> 00:27:00.520
He'd been stoned.

358
00:27:00.520 --> 00:27:01.520
He'd been shipwrecked.

359
00:27:01.520 --> 00:27:02.520
He'd been beaten.

360
00:27:02.520 --> 00:27:03.520
He'd been in prison.

361
00:27:03.520 --> 00:27:10.760
These are the writings of the persecuted and the writings of extreme joy, extreme gladness,

362
00:27:10.760 --> 00:27:12.880
ecstatically happy writing.

363
00:27:12.880 --> 00:27:13.880
So I love you.

364
00:27:13.880 --> 00:27:18.360
Papa, I just thank you that as we share this week together on the planet, I decree and

365
00:27:18.360 --> 00:27:22.880
I declare, I mandate and I legislate the opening of portals, the opening of doors

366
00:27:22.880 --> 00:27:29.320
and gates in the heavenly realm, the mobilization of angels to release joy on the planet like

367
00:27:29.320 --> 00:27:31.440
never before in Jesus' name.

368
00:27:31.440 --> 00:27:37.320
So Jesus, I thank you right now for a release of joy on the planet, the joy of the Lord.

369
00:27:37.320 --> 00:27:42.280
I thank you for a mobilization of angels carrying joy, carrying the sounds of joy, carrying

370
00:27:42.280 --> 00:27:43.560
the revelations of joy.

371
00:27:43.560 --> 00:27:45.720
I thank you for joy exploding.

372
00:27:45.720 --> 00:27:47.360
I thank you for joy raining down.

373
00:27:47.360 --> 00:27:50.600
I thank you for outpourings of joy all over the planet.

374
00:27:50.600 --> 00:27:56.080
In Jesus' name, I thank you for unlocking right now in the spirit realm, whole new dimensions

375
00:27:56.080 --> 00:27:57.080
of joy.

376
00:27:57.080 --> 00:27:58.920
I thank you for baptizing people in joy.

377
00:27:58.920 --> 00:28:03.040
I thank you for the overwhelming joy that surpasses understanding that comes from your

378
00:28:03.040 --> 00:28:08.000
presence that is just the manifestation of your glory in our lives.

379
00:28:08.000 --> 00:28:10.840
It's the joy of the Lord that is our strength, Papa.

380
00:28:10.840 --> 00:28:11.840
Pour it out.

381
00:28:11.840 --> 00:28:15.000
May there be explosions of joy all over the planet.

382
00:28:15.000 --> 00:28:16.400
May there be outpourings.

383
00:28:16.440 --> 00:28:18.240
May there be waterfalls of joy.

384
00:28:18.240 --> 00:28:24.920
May there be just baptisms of the Holy Spirit that produce joy like never before, joy unspeakable

385
00:28:24.920 --> 00:28:27.600
and full of glory in Jesus' name.

386
00:28:27.600 --> 00:28:28.600
Amen.

387
00:28:28.600 --> 00:28:30.040
Thank you so much, fam.

388
00:28:30.040 --> 00:28:31.720
Great to be with you this morning.

389
00:28:31.720 --> 00:28:39.280
Again, if you want to follow this week's prayer sessions on just chats and prayer on joy,

390
00:28:39.280 --> 00:28:42.960
the goal for me this week is to increase the levels of joy on the planet.

391
00:28:42.960 --> 00:28:46.400
If that's you, drop royalty in the comments.

392
00:28:46.400 --> 00:28:50.800
If you're not in the Raising Royalty group, just drop royalty in the comments and we will

393
00:28:50.800 --> 00:28:56.360
hook you up with a link to join the group.

394
00:28:56.360 --> 00:29:01.760
I am looking forward to an awesome week this week.

395
00:29:01.760 --> 00:29:04.320
Joy, let's go for joy.

396
00:29:04.320 --> 00:29:09.800
Let me know again, where are your joy levels at right now on a scale of one to 10, wherever

397
00:29:09.800 --> 00:29:10.800
they are at right now.

398
00:29:10.800 --> 00:29:15.680
By the end of the week, we want them peaking out in alignment with the mind of Christ.

399
00:29:15.680 --> 00:29:17.840
The mind of Christ is at 10 out of 10 joy.

400
00:29:17.840 --> 00:29:20.240
The Holy Spirit is at 10 out of 10 joy.

401
00:29:20.240 --> 00:29:22.320
Heaven right now is at 10 out of 10 joy.

402
00:29:22.320 --> 00:29:25.200
The Father right now is at 10 out of 10 joy.

403
00:29:25.200 --> 00:29:30.720
So in the presence of the Lord is the fullness of joy and we want to unlock that joy that

404
00:29:30.720 --> 00:29:32.040
already exists within you.

405
00:29:32.040 --> 00:29:37.200
He moved in in fullness and it's time to unlock that joy because that joy equals strength

406
00:29:37.200 --> 00:29:41.040
and that strength equals an unshakable stand for Christ in this world.

407
00:29:41.040 --> 00:29:42.400
Love you fam.

408
00:29:42.400 --> 00:29:43.880
And that is us for this morning.

409
00:29:43.880 --> 00:29:44.880
Bless you.

410
00:29:44.880 --> 00:29:44.880
