00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.720
Kia ora whānau! How are we this morning? God bless you, you're looking great!

2
00:00:07.720 --> 00:00:14.840
Hallelujah! I trust you all slept well. Well here we are again. Day, what is it?

3
00:00:14.840 --> 00:00:21.240
What day is this? Day five. That's what it is. Day five. Day five on our 30-day free

4
00:00:21.240 --> 00:00:27.600
warrior activist course teaching. So there we go. So if you want to take a

5
00:00:27.600 --> 00:00:34.600
photo of that whānau, let me try and get it for you. Actually, let me just turn it

6
00:00:34.600 --> 00:00:40.800
around and take a photo of it, okay? Okay, that's what we're gonna be talking about,

7
00:00:40.800 --> 00:00:43.600
some of the stuff we're gonna be talking on today. Oh, it's probably back to front

8
00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:55.200
for you. Hang on, sorry about that. Let me press this and press that and

9
00:00:55.200 --> 00:01:13.000
doesn't help, does it? Okay, can you get that? See that? Take a photo. I'm gonna

10
00:01:13.000 --> 00:01:26.800
give you three seconds. Tahirua toru. Ah, it's four seconds. Kapai! Okay, great getting

11
00:01:26.800 --> 00:01:31.600
some testimonies yesterday from people who have been healed of different things,

12
00:01:31.600 --> 00:01:36.320
receiving miracles after this session, praying for the sick and seeing

13
00:01:36.320 --> 00:01:42.520
what God has done. It's just been wonderful. Hey, yesterday Jesus healed

14
00:01:42.520 --> 00:01:48.560
lots of people but not all responded or not all replied. So for those healed but

15
00:01:48.560 --> 00:01:54.360
didn't respond, please respond especially. This morning someone woke up with more

16
00:01:54.360 --> 00:01:59.440
energy. You woke up with more joy because your blood conditions healed. That's why

17
00:01:59.440 --> 00:02:03.800
you feel that way. There's some others and you've got

18
00:02:03.800 --> 00:02:10.520
air and air, you can hear clearer in your ear. There's others, eye conditions, a

19
00:02:10.520 --> 00:02:15.440
cataract dissolved. I haven't heard back from you yet. Others, there's an

20
00:02:15.440 --> 00:02:19.920
internal bowel condition that has been healed and some of you don't

21
00:02:19.920 --> 00:02:24.320
respond because you think if you testify that the devil might rob it of you. Hey,

22
00:02:24.320 --> 00:02:29.040
that's operating in fear not faith. Jesus said that Satan

23
00:02:29.040 --> 00:02:32.080
came to rob, kill and destroy but he came to give you life. When he gives you a

24
00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:36.560
healing, he doesn't take it away. So get out of fear and get into faith. So

25
00:02:36.560 --> 00:02:40.880
you need to respond. If you've been healed, you need to respond. Why? Because

26
00:02:40.880 --> 00:02:45.000
1 Thessalonians 5.18 says, In everything give thanks for this is the will of God

27
00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:49.800
and Christ Jesus for you. Quench not the spirit. And so in giving thanks in

28
00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:54.120
everything. So there were ten lepers that Jesus healed. You know how many came

29
00:02:54.120 --> 00:02:58.960
back and gave thanks? You got it. One out of ten. And Jesus, where's the other nine?

30
00:02:58.960 --> 00:03:04.840
So Jesus expects thanksgiving, thanks to be given for what he heals people. And

31
00:03:05.720 --> 00:03:09.840
so to testify is to glorify. So those of you who haven't given thanks, haven't

32
00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:18.320
brought in the testimony, please do that today. Send it in. Message me. You

33
00:03:18.320 --> 00:03:23.760
might say why? Well, I will say because it's a free gift you receive from Jesus

34
00:03:23.760 --> 00:03:31.440
and it's free. But it cost me years and years, decades of blood,

35
00:03:31.440 --> 00:03:36.320
sweat and tears. And I would like to hear your testimony back because I use

36
00:03:36.320 --> 00:03:40.240
your testimony to help others because we overcome Satan by the blood of the lamb

37
00:03:40.240 --> 00:03:45.080
of the word of our testimony. So bring your testimony in place. And okay, okay.

38
00:03:45.440 --> 00:03:51.800
So on that note, I'm sharing on the three H's. What are the three H's? The

39
00:03:51.880 --> 00:03:59.400
three H's are honour, humility and hunger. And these three things God showed

40
00:03:59.400 --> 00:04:05.080
me many years ago. When you have the three things operating in a meeting, in

41
00:04:05.080 --> 00:04:11.280
a church, anywhere, if the three H's are present, wow, it's like God's perfect

42
00:04:11.280 --> 00:04:17.079
storm for glory. It's like God's perfect storm for glory, the three H's. And so

43
00:04:17.680 --> 00:04:22.880
I'll tell you about the three H's in a minute, but I'll use an illustration. I

44
00:04:22.880 --> 00:04:27.400
think it was 2016. I went to the Solomon Islands and I was ministering over there

45
00:04:27.400 --> 00:04:32.640
for the first time ever. And so I wanted to, I was walking in the steps, well, I

46
00:04:32.640 --> 00:04:36.720
wanted to walk in the steps of the great Māori evangelist Murray Thompson, Murray

47
00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:43.200
Thompson, Murray Thompson, sorry. A great man of God that I never had the blessing

48
00:04:43.200 --> 00:04:46.720
to meet the man personally, but I've heard so many great testimonies about this

49
00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:51.720
great, great evangelist. So God used him to strike, spark revival off through the

50
00:04:51.800 --> 00:04:56.840
through the Pacific Islands, the Solomon Islands, Papua New Guinea and so forth, as

51
00:04:56.840 --> 00:04:59.880
well as the New Zealand way back in the day. And so.

52
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:05.000
2016, I was on my way over to Solomon Islands.

53
00:05:05.960 --> 00:05:07.960
Now, before I went to the Solomon Islands,

54
00:05:07.960 --> 00:05:09.800
I had gone through hunger.

55
00:05:09.800 --> 00:05:11.240
And so I'm gonna teach that tomorrow

56
00:05:11.240 --> 00:05:13.520
because it's quite a long teaching.

57
00:05:13.520 --> 00:05:16.920
And don't mistake your frustration for hunger.

58
00:05:16.920 --> 00:05:18.920
You know, I was so hungry for God

59
00:05:18.920 --> 00:05:21.600
that I said, God, you've got to give me something more.

60
00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:24.480
I can't keep living like this.

61
00:05:24.480 --> 00:05:26.800
And he said, you're not hungry, you're just frustrated.

62
00:05:26.840 --> 00:05:29.680
And so I went through a eight month period

63
00:05:29.680 --> 00:05:32.400
of hungering after God, like I've never hungered.

64
00:05:32.400 --> 00:05:34.080
And he said, it's not more faith you need, son,

65
00:05:34.080 --> 00:05:34.920
it's more hunger.

66
00:05:34.920 --> 00:05:36.800
So I'm gonna teach about that tomorrow.

67
00:05:36.800 --> 00:05:41.480
But the other two, humility, honor and humility, honor.

68
00:05:42.920 --> 00:05:45.920
Okay, so I go to the Solomons.

69
00:05:45.920 --> 00:05:48.040
This is after eight months,

70
00:05:48.040 --> 00:05:50.640
I've been seeking God, pushing into God.

71
00:05:50.640 --> 00:05:53.560
And after eight months, the spirit of God came on me

72
00:05:53.560 --> 00:05:55.680
the Sunday before I left to go to the Solomons.

73
00:05:55.720 --> 00:05:58.720
Holy Spirit came upon me in a way that I,

74
00:05:58.720 --> 00:06:02.120
well, the Father said to me that morning,

75
00:06:02.120 --> 00:06:03.640
I left the Sunday, I left on Sunday

76
00:06:03.640 --> 00:06:05.200
and I was there by Tuesday, I think.

77
00:06:05.200 --> 00:06:07.520
I had to stop over in Brisbane.

78
00:06:07.520 --> 00:06:09.640
And when the spirit of God came upon me,

79
00:06:09.640 --> 00:06:13.000
far out, I tell you, the Father said,

80
00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:15.520
I have given you what your hunger has cried out for

81
00:06:15.520 --> 00:06:17.400
for the last eight months.

82
00:06:17.400 --> 00:06:20.000
And so the spirit of God came on me

83
00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:22.240
and I flew out the next day.

84
00:06:22.280 --> 00:06:26.880
I caught a taxi in Brisbane to start a motel overnight

85
00:06:26.880 --> 00:06:29.080
and then to fly from Brisbane to Solomons.

86
00:06:29.080 --> 00:06:30.920
You know, when Moses went on the mountain

87
00:06:30.920 --> 00:06:32.040
and he came down from the mountain

88
00:06:32.040 --> 00:06:33.840
and there was so much glory shining off him,

89
00:06:33.840 --> 00:06:35.440
but he couldn't see it, he couldn't feel it,

90
00:06:35.440 --> 00:06:37.120
but others saw it on him.

91
00:06:37.120 --> 00:06:39.720
Well, what came upon me, I couldn't see.

92
00:06:39.720 --> 00:06:42.440
I didn't realize what God had given me,

93
00:06:42.440 --> 00:06:43.880
what I'd been hungering for eight months,

94
00:06:43.880 --> 00:06:45.040
I wasn't sure what it was.

95
00:06:45.040 --> 00:06:48.440
But when I got in the taxi, this guy said to me,

96
00:06:48.440 --> 00:06:49.560
he said, where are you going?

97
00:06:49.560 --> 00:06:51.760
I said, I'm going to the Solomons to preach the gospel.

98
00:06:52.280 --> 00:06:53.920
And he said, oh, I used to go to church once,

99
00:06:53.920 --> 00:06:56.480
13 years ago, I was on the music team.

100
00:06:56.480 --> 00:07:00.600
I said, Jesus said, he misses your songs.

101
00:07:00.600 --> 00:07:02.360
And this guy who was driving the taxi,

102
00:07:02.360 --> 00:07:04.880
Samoan guy, he just stopped talking

103
00:07:04.880 --> 00:07:06.600
and I thought I defended the man.

104
00:07:06.600 --> 00:07:09.440
But when I got to the motel, I went to pay him,

105
00:07:09.440 --> 00:07:10.560
but he wouldn't take the money.

106
00:07:10.560 --> 00:07:12.720
He says, no, you're doing God's work, keep your money.

107
00:07:12.720 --> 00:07:15.800
And I noticed he was having a tangi tangi, he was crying.

108
00:07:15.800 --> 00:07:16.960
I said, can I pray for you?

109
00:07:16.960 --> 00:07:19.200
He says, when you said God misses my songs,

110
00:07:19.200 --> 00:07:21.360
he says, and he started weeping.

111
00:07:22.240 --> 00:07:23.200
So I prayed for him.

112
00:07:23.200 --> 00:07:25.800
See, there's something on me that's touching people,

113
00:07:25.800 --> 00:07:27.920
but I wasn't aware at that time.

114
00:07:27.920 --> 00:07:31.320
And I'm coming to a point here.

115
00:07:32.240 --> 00:07:33.960
Okay, so that happened.

116
00:07:33.960 --> 00:07:37.720
The next morning, another taxi driver picked me up.

117
00:07:37.720 --> 00:07:39.640
And man, he was like the devil, this guy.

118
00:07:39.640 --> 00:07:41.680
He picked me up and he took me to the airport

119
00:07:41.680 --> 00:07:42.800
so I could fly to the Solomons.

120
00:07:42.800 --> 00:07:43.720
This is the next morning.

121
00:07:43.720 --> 00:07:44.800
He said, why are you here?

122
00:07:44.800 --> 00:07:46.200
I said, I'm here to preach the gospel.

123
00:07:46.200 --> 00:07:49.000
And he started swearing, I mean, big time,

124
00:07:49.040 --> 00:07:51.680
calling me an effing this and an effing that.

125
00:07:51.680 --> 00:07:54.640
You effing preachers, you're all effing liars and thieves.

126
00:07:54.640 --> 00:07:57.240
You rob, you steal money off people, blah, blah, blah.

127
00:07:57.240 --> 00:07:59.400
He's going off his face to me.

128
00:07:59.400 --> 00:08:00.960
And this is a taxi driver.

129
00:08:00.960 --> 00:08:03.920
And I thought, man, I could get you fired, mate.

130
00:08:03.920 --> 00:08:06.280
I was thinking that, but I'm not that sort of guy.

131
00:08:06.280 --> 00:08:09.200
But I'm not a little wussy wussy Christian either.

132
00:08:09.200 --> 00:08:11.280
So I straight back at him.

133
00:08:11.280 --> 00:08:13.240
I said, oh yeah, you're Australian, are you?

134
00:08:13.240 --> 00:08:14.080
He says, yeah.

135
00:08:14.080 --> 00:08:15.320
I said, oh, you're a child abuser.

136
00:08:15.320 --> 00:08:16.520
You're a pedophile, aren't you?

137
00:08:16.520 --> 00:08:17.760
You're a child abuser.

138
00:08:17.800 --> 00:08:18.640
He says, what?

139
00:08:18.640 --> 00:08:21.320
And he's going off, how can you call me a child abuser?

140
00:08:21.320 --> 00:08:23.920
I says, well, I'm using the same logic that you're using.

141
00:08:23.920 --> 00:08:27.160
You're saying that every preacher is a lying thief.

142
00:08:27.160 --> 00:08:28.920
And I'm saying that it's like me saying

143
00:08:28.920 --> 00:08:30.600
every Australian's a child abuser.

144
00:08:30.600 --> 00:08:33.320
I'm just using your logic, mate, right back at you.

145
00:08:33.320 --> 00:08:34.159
And he apologized.

146
00:08:34.159 --> 00:08:35.360
Oh, well, he didn't apologize.

147
00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:36.559
He actually, oh, well, maybe you're one

148
00:08:36.559 --> 00:08:38.159
of the good preachers, he said.

149
00:08:38.159 --> 00:08:41.480
And anyway, by the time he dropped me off at the airport,

150
00:08:41.480 --> 00:08:44.760
he'd calmed down and it was a demon in him manifesting.

151
00:08:44.760 --> 00:08:47.040
He calmed down and apologized and so forth.

152
00:08:47.040 --> 00:08:50.160
What I'm saying is that there was something on me

153
00:08:50.160 --> 00:08:52.200
that was having an effect around me,

154
00:08:52.200 --> 00:08:54.800
something that I'd been hungering for,

155
00:08:54.800 --> 00:08:56.000
but I didn't know what it was.

156
00:08:56.000 --> 00:08:58.880
It's like Moses came down and he's carrying something.

157
00:08:58.880 --> 00:09:01.200
He wasn't aware of what was on it, but others saw it.

158
00:09:01.200 --> 00:09:04.040
And so I get on the plane

159
00:09:04.040 --> 00:09:06.600
and I go to the Solomon Islands

160
00:09:06.600 --> 00:09:09.120
and I go to this big church.

161
00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:14.120
It's a big church and the leaders of the church are there.

162
00:09:14.400 --> 00:09:16.120
The superintendent, his wife,

163
00:09:16.120 --> 00:09:19.120
who's got a detached nerve in her eye,

164
00:09:19.120 --> 00:09:20.920
she said she'll be blind in a year.

165
00:09:20.920 --> 00:09:23.880
The doctor said there's no cure for it.

166
00:09:23.880 --> 00:09:24.800
There are a lot of people there.

167
00:09:24.800 --> 00:09:26.760
A lot of them are sick, deaf,

168
00:09:26.760 --> 00:09:28.680
and all sorts of diseases in their bodies.

169
00:09:28.680 --> 00:09:31.000
I didn't know that at the time, okay?

170
00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:33.040
And so they did a bit of a pulferry for me,

171
00:09:33.040 --> 00:09:35.280
a bit of a welcome for me, a cultural welcome.

172
00:09:35.280 --> 00:09:36.880
And then I stand up the front

173
00:09:36.880 --> 00:09:39.160
and it's my first time I've been to the Solomons,

174
00:09:39.160 --> 00:09:41.960
my first time I get to speak to these people.

175
00:09:41.960 --> 00:09:44.000
I don't know them from a bar of soap.

176
00:09:44.880 --> 00:09:47.160
So I get up and just before I got up,

177
00:09:47.160 --> 00:09:48.800
I saw a couple of guys standing.

178
00:09:48.800 --> 00:09:51.080
I says, just stand and step forward.

179
00:09:51.080 --> 00:09:53.360
As I step forward, the power of God came on them.

180
00:09:53.360 --> 00:09:55.080
It's like they got shot with a shotgun.

181
00:09:55.080 --> 00:09:57.120
I mean, they went, boom, blasted through.

182
00:09:57.120 --> 00:09:58.040
I didn't touch them.

183
00:09:58.040 --> 00:09:59.960
Just boom, and they're down on their,

184
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:06.160
their backs, which was dangerous because the floor was made of, you know, of that, those hard tiles.

185
00:10:06.160 --> 00:10:13.200
And so anyway, I thought, oh, that's unusual, the power of God's here today. And, and so, so I gave

186
00:10:13.200 --> 00:10:21.520
a bit of a mihi, and a bit of a greeting, and from New Zealand, as a Māori, as a son of God.

187
00:10:21.520 --> 00:10:27.440
And then I am, I saw a woman in a green dress that had blood disease, and I saw a woman at the back,

188
00:10:27.440 --> 00:10:32.720
and there was a demon oppressing her, or a family. And Jesus said to me, Holy Spirit said to me,

189
00:10:32.720 --> 00:10:38.000
tell them the moment they stand, they will be healed. And so I spoke it out. I says, the moment,

190
00:10:38.000 --> 00:10:42.320
I didn't say who they were, I just knew where they were. I says, the moment, that person with

191
00:10:42.320 --> 00:10:46.880
the blood disease, the moment you stand, you will be healed. And the, and the lady being oppressed

192
00:10:46.880 --> 00:10:51.280
by a demon, the moment you stand, you're going to be delivered. Just stand up now. And they wouldn't

193
00:10:51.280 --> 00:10:56.480
stand. They didn't stand up. So I repeated again, here's the instructions, when you stand, Jesus

194
00:10:56.480 --> 00:11:01.840
will heal you. And they didn't stand. And you know what, the Holy Spirit whispered into my ear, and

195
00:11:01.840 --> 00:11:09.840
he said, don't minister my presence here. He says, they have no hunger, they have no honour, and they

196
00:11:09.840 --> 00:11:17.200
have no humility. And he says, so don't, don't minister my presence here. This is not a safe

197
00:11:17.200 --> 00:11:24.960
house for me. That's what Holy Spirit said to me. And I thought, what? I'm a guest here. This is my

198
00:11:24.960 --> 00:11:29.760
first time. All their leaders, all their, they're sitting right there, and I'm going to say this to

199
00:11:29.760 --> 00:11:36.800
them. And because I love Holy Spirit, but I'd rather offend a man than the Holy Spirit

200
00:11:36.800 --> 00:11:41.760
anytime. Not that I intentionally go out to offend people. Okay, it's not about, it's not a justification

201
00:11:41.760 --> 00:11:46.800
for being rude. Okay, so don't get that wrong. So I just shared, I said, Holy Spirit said, I'm not

202
00:11:46.800 --> 00:11:51.360
allowed to minister his presence here, because there's no hunger, honour, or humility. I said,

203
00:11:51.440 --> 00:11:56.720
I've come all the way from New Zealand. Jesus sent me. I'm not, I didn't come by myself. Jesus sent me

204
00:11:56.720 --> 00:12:02.400
with gifts. And the one who sent me, I'm offering you his gifts, and you won't receive them. It's

205
00:12:02.400 --> 00:12:07.440
not me you reject, it's the one who sent me. The gifts you won't receive, it's the one who sent me.

206
00:12:07.440 --> 00:12:14.640
You're rejecting him, not me. I says, and he said that you have no humility, honour, or hunger. I

207
00:12:14.640 --> 00:12:18.960
says, is this honouring what you were doing when I offered these gifts? Is it honouring the one who

208
00:12:18.960 --> 00:12:24.960
sent me? Is that humility? Is that hunger? And to their credit, you know what they did? They repented

209
00:12:24.960 --> 00:12:29.680
immediately. I mean, right there, right then, people started repenting, bowing their heads. In fact, the

210
00:12:29.680 --> 00:12:33.840
two women, they stood up immediately. And as soon as they stood, boom, they went down. They were

211
00:12:33.840 --> 00:12:40.080
instantly healed. And that night, my goodness, there were about 30 or 40 people ran to the front

212
00:12:40.080 --> 00:12:45.680
repenting. I've never seen repentance like it. I mean, there was wailing and wailing, and I could,

213
00:12:45.680 --> 00:12:51.120
I had nothing to do. It was just the Holy Spirit. And then, then Holy Spirit said, you can minister

214
00:12:51.120 --> 00:12:56.720
me now. And so I began to pray for people. And there were, I don't know, the first 30 went down

215
00:12:56.720 --> 00:13:02.720
under the power like rockets, like stones. And, and when they got up, they weren't just imparted,

216
00:13:02.720 --> 00:13:08.000
blessed. There are, I've got a whole, I've got about 20 testimonies of that first meeting.

217
00:13:08.880 --> 00:13:15.440
I remember one who had 19 years deaf in one ear, the superintendent's wife who was blind in one eye,

218
00:13:15.680 --> 00:13:20.880
opened just so many miracles, so many miracles. And so I was there for about four days, and I

219
00:13:20.880 --> 00:13:26.880
prayed for about 600 people over the time. Every person I touched was hit like a, like a shotgun

220
00:13:26.880 --> 00:13:33.120
blast. And, and I'm going to show, I'm going to put a video clip on after, after I've done this,

221
00:13:33.120 --> 00:13:37.680
this post, I'm going to put a video clip on to show you just a little bit of what happened in

222
00:13:37.680 --> 00:13:42.000
some of those meetings. And on that clip, you're going to see me releasing the power of God and

223
00:13:42.000 --> 00:13:47.360
doing impartation. That night on the clip, you'll see that I prayed for over a hundred people. So

224
00:13:47.360 --> 00:13:51.600
you're just seeing probably the end of the meeting. But I'll just give you an idea of, you know,

225
00:13:51.600 --> 00:13:56.400
that what I'm talking about, I'm not just speaking from theory. It's not just hui hui, it's dewey

226
00:13:56.400 --> 00:14:00.560
dewey. And I was saying to God, what is this? People are going down under the power. It's like,

227
00:14:00.560 --> 00:14:05.600
I feel like Benny Hinn Lord. And people just go down under the power, but they're getting up healed

228
00:14:05.600 --> 00:14:10.160
and miracles and all this stuff happening. And he said, son, this is what your hunger brought

229
00:14:10.160 --> 00:14:16.240
out of heaven. This is what your hunger brought down out of heaven. I mean, that stunned me still.

230
00:14:16.240 --> 00:14:22.000
It still sobers me. If I think if that's what my hunger brought out of heaven, what else is up there?

231
00:14:22.640 --> 00:14:29.600
What else am I not hungry for? So hunger is such a big thing. And so humility, honor, humility,

232
00:14:29.600 --> 00:14:35.440
and hunger. When you have those three components, you have a perfect storm of God. And so I'm going

233
00:14:35.440 --> 00:14:46.000
to talk about the first, the first one is honor. Okay. So, so in Mark six, verse, verse four,

234
00:14:46.000 --> 00:14:54.880
you know, Jesus, Jesus went to his hometown, excuse me, and, you know, the story that he

235
00:14:54.880 --> 00:14:59.280
couldn't do any miracles there because there was no honor to him that I mean, the local people had

236
00:14:59.280 --> 00:14:59.920
so much for me.

237
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:04.800
They said, oh, who's he? We know Jesus. He's just a carpenter's son. Who does he think he is?

238
00:15:04.800 --> 00:15:11.040
And this, you know, the spirit of familiarity, it's such a terrible thing. And Jesus could only do a few healings.

239
00:15:11.040 --> 00:15:16.280
He could do no mighty work in that place. No miracle. And when there's no honor, there's no miracles.

240
00:15:16.280 --> 00:15:19.000
I'm telling you, when there's no honor to the presence of Jesus,

241
00:15:19.000 --> 00:15:23.320
there's no miracles. Because if there's no honor to the presence of Jesus, it grieves the Holy Spirit.

242
00:15:23.320 --> 00:15:28.640
It quenches the Holy Spirit. And there was no honor to Jesus.

243
00:15:28.640 --> 00:15:34.320
And this, unfortunately, that's in so many churches. I see so many miracles on the streets.

244
00:15:34.320 --> 00:15:38.200
But sometimes I go to a church to pray for people, and there's just no honor.

245
00:15:38.200 --> 00:15:43.800
And it's so sad, because Jesus loves his people. And no miracles can get relieved, because there's no honor.

246
00:15:43.800 --> 00:15:48.440
And I just think, who do you think you are? You know, and all this familiarity stuff.

247
00:15:48.600 --> 00:15:58.440
So Jesus, in Matthew 8, 19, Jesus, after Nazareth, I call it the Nazareth attitude. It's a killer.

248
00:15:58.440 --> 00:16:04.120
He goes up to Capernaum, and there's a centurion up there. He's not even a Jew. He's not even a Hebrew.

249
00:16:04.120 --> 00:16:11.880
But he said to his friends, go and tell Jesus, just say the word, and my servant will be healed.

250
00:16:11.880 --> 00:16:17.960
And the centurion said, I am not worthy to be under the same roof as this man.

251
00:16:18.040 --> 00:16:24.520
Compare that attitude of honor with the centurion to the Nazareth people. Compare that,

252
00:16:25.240 --> 00:16:29.880
where the ones in Nazareth said, who is this guy? Who does he think he is? We know his family.

253
00:16:29.880 --> 00:16:35.960
Just an attitude of no honor. Then you go to the centurion up the road, up at Capernaum,

254
00:16:35.960 --> 00:16:40.120
and this guy said, I'm not worthy to be under the same roof. What incredible honor.

255
00:16:40.120 --> 00:16:44.760
And you know the story, what happened? Jesus said, I haven't found faith like this in all of Israel.

256
00:16:44.760 --> 00:16:51.320
This isn't even a Hebrew. This is a Roman. And Jesus healed his servant. His servant was healed.

257
00:16:51.320 --> 00:16:55.320
And what else? Yeah, I was in a village over in India once.

258
00:16:56.840 --> 00:16:59.080
I've been to thousands of them, or hundreds of them anyway.

259
00:17:00.120 --> 00:17:06.680
And excuse me, I've been seeing so many miracles, blind people seeing, and deaf ears opening,

260
00:17:06.680 --> 00:17:11.400
cripples walking. So my faith was at a high level. So I went to this particular village,

261
00:17:11.400 --> 00:17:16.920
and all these, I don't know, a dozen people came out. So I said, I'll pray for the sick,

262
00:17:16.920 --> 00:17:21.240
and then once they see the miracles, then I'll tell them about Jesus. And so I started praying

263
00:17:21.240 --> 00:17:26.839
for the sick, but nothing happened. No miracles happened, not even a healing. And then some of

264
00:17:26.839 --> 00:17:31.960
their leaders came out and told me to pee off. They were communists. They said, we don't believe

265
00:17:31.960 --> 00:17:38.440
in that rubbish. We don't believe in your God. Get out of here, pee off. And so I did. I left,

266
00:17:38.440 --> 00:17:43.000
and I was wondering, why is that God? There's an anointing on me to do miracles, and there's no

267
00:17:43.000 --> 00:17:47.720
miracle could happen. So I went about 100 yards down the road, or 100 meters down the road,

268
00:17:48.360 --> 00:17:52.280
and there was an old man sitting on his seat having a cup of tea. And I looked down at him

269
00:17:52.280 --> 00:17:57.240
and said, namaste. And he looked up and smiled, but he's in pain. So I said to my interpreter,

270
00:17:57.240 --> 00:18:02.280
ask him, would you like me to pray for him? And what's wrong with him? And so the old man said

271
00:18:02.280 --> 00:18:07.080
he fell off a push bike many years ago, and he did pain to his back, and he's been paining ever

272
00:18:07.080 --> 00:18:13.480
since. But he would love prayer. So I prayed for this dear old gentleman, just 100 meters down

273
00:18:13.480 --> 00:18:18.680
from where I tried to pray, and nothing happened. I prayed for this old gentleman, and the Lord

274
00:18:18.680 --> 00:18:23.400
instantly healed this dear old man. And I said, why is it, Lord, that there's an atmosphere of

275
00:18:23.400 --> 00:18:28.280
healing here, but not an atmosphere of healing up there? And he says, because of honour, son.

276
00:18:28.280 --> 00:18:33.960
He says, they had no honour for me in my hometown, and they had no honour for you up there. But this

277
00:18:33.960 --> 00:18:39.080
man's got honour, and honour opens the door for miracles. So that's how I learned about the first

278
00:18:39.080 --> 00:18:50.920
stage, honour. Okay, next stage is humility. Humility. Okay. Luke 4.18, how's your homework

279
00:18:50.920 --> 00:18:56.040
going? So you should know this. Luke 4.18 says, the Spirit of the Lord God is upon me.

280
00:18:56.040 --> 00:19:01.960
He has anointed me to preach the good news to the, well, in the King James, it's the poor.

281
00:19:02.600 --> 00:19:08.440
Now, do you realise that the word poor means humble? Okay, it doesn't mean, and of course,

282
00:19:08.440 --> 00:19:14.760
poor people often are humble, or humbled by the sickness, but the poor means in the Greek, humble,

283
00:19:14.760 --> 00:19:21.800
humble. And so the anointing is on us to preach to the humble. God says He knows the proud, and He

284
00:19:21.800 --> 00:19:27.960
knows them from afar, that the proud He resists. And I used to wonder how come I'd preach the

285
00:19:27.960 --> 00:19:32.440
gospel to some people, and they'd receive Jesus, and others, they didn't want to receive Jesus,

286
00:19:32.440 --> 00:19:37.880
they'd manifest. And it took me a while to realise that the anointing to preach the gospel is only

287
00:19:37.880 --> 00:19:43.720
for the, we're only anointed to preach to the poor. The anointing doesn't work on the proud.

288
00:19:44.360 --> 00:19:47.720
Remember Jesus, He had preached to the common people, they receive Him

289
00:19:47.720 --> 00:19:51.960
eagerly. But when He preached to the Pharisees, they want to kill Him, they want to stone Him.

290
00:19:51.960 --> 00:19:55.960
See, one heart's humble, and one heart's proud and arrogant. And so the anointing,

291
00:19:55.960 --> 00:19:59.880
the anointing on your life to preach, only works on the humble.

292
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:05.520
This will save you a lot of heartache if you can catch this message, catch this lesson.

293
00:20:05.520 --> 00:20:08.420
So it's the humble.

294
00:20:08.420 --> 00:20:14.600
So where there's humility, where there's honor and humility, you've got two components.

295
00:20:14.600 --> 00:20:18.220
But when you have honor, humility, and hunger, miracles break out.

296
00:20:18.220 --> 00:20:19.220
Miracles break out.

297
00:20:19.220 --> 00:20:20.220
You get an open heaven.

298
00:20:20.220 --> 00:20:21.220
Okay.

299
00:20:21.220 --> 00:20:23.780
We can set atmospheres by our attitudes.

300
00:20:23.780 --> 00:20:28.260
And that's why I teach people to walk in humility and walk in honor to those around you.

301
00:20:28.260 --> 00:20:29.620
Honor men and women of God.

302
00:20:29.620 --> 00:20:30.620
Honor one another.

303
00:20:30.620 --> 00:20:32.620
Honor God, but honor each other.

304
00:20:32.620 --> 00:20:36.080
People can say, I honor God, I love God, but they go to church and backbite and criticize

305
00:20:36.080 --> 00:20:39.000
and gossip about other Christians or the pastor.

306
00:20:39.000 --> 00:20:40.620
And they wonder why miracles don't happen.

307
00:20:40.620 --> 00:20:42.260
They wonder why the heaven's not open.

308
00:20:42.260 --> 00:20:46.080
They wonder why God seems distant, because God resists the proud.

309
00:20:46.080 --> 00:20:48.220
So it's about learning to walk in honor and humility.

310
00:20:48.220 --> 00:20:53.060
We're going to do a little homework lesson for that today.

311
00:20:53.060 --> 00:20:59.120
Mark 6.39, where Jesus, they were all hungry, and Jesus broke the loaves and the fish and

312
00:20:59.120 --> 00:21:00.120
divided it.

313
00:21:00.120 --> 00:21:02.840
But he made them sit in companies of 50.

314
00:21:02.840 --> 00:21:11.780
He said, sit, sit, you know, today to try and get Christians to obey, just to get together

315
00:21:11.780 --> 00:21:12.780
and to work together.

316
00:21:12.780 --> 00:21:13.780
It's flipping hard.

317
00:21:13.780 --> 00:21:14.780
Why?

318
00:21:14.780 --> 00:21:15.780
They don't want to work together.

319
00:21:15.780 --> 00:21:17.340
He said, no, I'll do my own thing.

320
00:21:17.340 --> 00:21:22.100
This is spirit of individuality, the spirit of rebellion, actually, no, I don't need to

321
00:21:22.140 --> 00:21:23.140
do that.

322
00:21:23.140 --> 00:21:25.900
Well, Jesus released a miracle.

323
00:21:25.900 --> 00:21:29.580
When people learn how to work together, they have the humility to work together for the

324
00:21:29.580 --> 00:21:32.620
good of each other, not just themselves.

325
00:21:32.620 --> 00:21:40.060
And say, sit, when God's people know how to sit together in humility and working together

326
00:21:40.060 --> 00:21:42.140
rather than doing their own thing.

327
00:21:42.140 --> 00:21:43.140
So humility.

328
00:21:43.140 --> 00:21:48.660
And 2 Chronicles 7.14, of course, if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves

329
00:21:48.660 --> 00:21:50.700
and pray, okay?

330
00:21:50.700 --> 00:21:52.380
So that's humility.

331
00:21:52.380 --> 00:21:56.420
Okay, so I'm going to go somewhere else now, whanau.

332
00:21:56.420 --> 00:22:01.460
I'm going to go somewhere else.

333
00:22:01.460 --> 00:22:07.460
A lot of Christians are saying God's judging the nation of New Zealand because of the abortion

334
00:22:07.460 --> 00:22:09.740
bills and so forth.

335
00:22:09.740 --> 00:22:12.780
And I personally don't agree.

336
00:22:12.780 --> 00:22:14.140
I don't think that's biblical.

337
00:22:14.140 --> 00:22:18.180
I think it's a knee-jerk reaction.

338
00:22:18.180 --> 00:22:23.140
You've got to realise unjust laws have been passed by successive governments in this nation

339
00:22:23.140 --> 00:22:24.900
for the past 200 years.

340
00:22:24.900 --> 00:22:26.740
This isn't just something that's happened.

341
00:22:26.740 --> 00:22:32.520
I was around 35 years ago when the spirit of God told me he's going to punish those

342
00:22:32.520 --> 00:22:34.300
who pervert justice.

343
00:22:34.300 --> 00:22:39.820
That was when the biggest petition in New Zealand history was signed against the homosexual

344
00:22:39.820 --> 00:22:40.820
law reform bill.

345
00:22:40.820 --> 00:22:45.140
It was signed by 500,000 Kiwis, the biggest petition in New Zealand history.

346
00:22:45.140 --> 00:22:50.860
It was when the Lange government was in, and in spite of that, in spite of half a million

347
00:22:50.860 --> 00:22:54.580
petitions speaking against the bill, it still went through.

348
00:22:54.580 --> 00:22:57.540
The government still pressed it through.

349
00:22:57.540 --> 00:23:03.300
And then you go back further, you know, in the 1800s, for decades, the government set

350
00:23:03.300 --> 00:23:08.780
successive laws in place to kill, to destroy every Māori, to wipe out the Māori race.

351
00:23:08.780 --> 00:23:13.380
This evil, this snake under the beehive, it hasn't been there just in the last couple

352
00:23:13.380 --> 00:23:14.380
of years.

353
00:23:14.380 --> 00:23:16.220
It's been there for decades.

354
00:23:16.220 --> 00:23:20.260
And so the bigger issue is not so much about the law.

355
00:23:20.260 --> 00:23:21.260
I mean, I hate abortion.

356
00:23:21.260 --> 00:23:22.780
I hate the laws that are being passed.

357
00:23:22.780 --> 00:23:28.900
I don't agree with the unrighteous laws, the abortion, the euthanasia, the marijuana.

358
00:23:28.900 --> 00:23:30.980
But there's a bigger issue.

359
00:23:30.980 --> 00:23:36.020
And that issue is why isn't governments influenced by the church?

360
00:23:36.020 --> 00:23:38.620
Why are we not influential?

361
00:23:38.620 --> 00:23:43.820
Because the early church had influence over leaders, over government leaders, and over

362
00:23:43.820 --> 00:23:44.820
kings.

363
00:23:44.820 --> 00:23:48.260
And the church had influence, the church had power.

364
00:23:48.260 --> 00:23:53.220
God used the church and he would remove ungodly influences in order for the kingdom to thrive

365
00:23:53.220 --> 00:23:54.820
and the church to grow.

366
00:23:54.820 --> 00:24:00.060
So why doesn't the New Zealand church have influence over the government of this nation?

367
00:24:00.060 --> 00:24:02.380
That's the bigger question.

368
00:24:02.380 --> 00:24:04.460
And so this isn't something new to me.

369
00:24:04.460 --> 00:24:11.060
This has been, well, I've known Jesus 40 years, but it's been 34 years that this issue has

370
00:24:11.060 --> 00:24:17.260
been on my heart about ungodliness, for righteousness promotes a nation.

371
00:24:17.260 --> 00:24:18.740
Righteousness exalts a nation.

372
00:24:18.740 --> 00:24:22.260
But you know what?

373
00:24:22.260 --> 00:24:25.780
The government leaders, most of them aren't righteous.

374
00:24:25.780 --> 00:24:28.420
It's not up to them to exalt the nation.

375
00:24:28.420 --> 00:24:29.420
It's up to us.

376
00:24:29.420 --> 00:24:33.020
We're the ones that know what righteousness is, and righteousness exalts a nation.

377
00:24:33.020 --> 00:24:36.180
So let me just read you some notes.

378
00:24:36.180 --> 00:24:39.420
There's an earthly government and a heavenly government, amen?

379
00:24:39.420 --> 00:24:43.260
The heavenly government is the government is upon his shoulders, the government is upon

380
00:24:43.260 --> 00:24:44.260
the shoulders.

381
00:24:44.260 --> 00:24:51.060
And so here's, now this isn't a doctrine, this is just what I've observed and what I

382
00:24:51.060 --> 00:24:52.060
see in scripture.

383
00:24:52.060 --> 00:24:57.860
1 Peter 4, 17, for the time has arrived for judgment to begin in the household of God.

384
00:24:57.860 --> 00:25:00.060
And if it begins with us, what will be the end of the world?

385
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:06.320
those who do not respect or believe or obey the good news, the gospel of God.

386
00:25:06.320 --> 00:25:10.920
So judgment begins, it says, in the house of God.

387
00:25:10.920 --> 00:25:15.840
It doesn't begin in government, it doesn't begin in the ungodly's house, it begins in

388
00:25:15.840 --> 00:25:16.840
the godly's house.

389
00:25:16.840 --> 00:25:18.240
That's what it's saying.

390
00:25:18.240 --> 00:25:22.760
And I believe personally that the nation is a mess because the church is a mess.

391
00:25:22.760 --> 00:25:27.440
I believe that there's fatherlessness in this nation according to the prophet Malachi, who

392
00:25:27.440 --> 00:25:31.400
spoke about a curse that would come on a land when the fathers turned their hearts

393
00:25:31.400 --> 00:25:34.920
away from the children and children turned their hearts away from the fathers.

394
00:25:34.920 --> 00:25:40.320
And I believe that, and we see that today, that at least three quarters of Māori households

395
00:25:40.320 --> 00:25:42.240
are without their natural fathers.

396
00:25:42.240 --> 00:25:46.840
Half of Pākehā households are without their natural fathers, apparently according to stats.

397
00:25:46.840 --> 00:25:51.080
That's fatherlessness, that's natural fatherlessness, and I always look, what's happening in the

398
00:25:51.080 --> 00:25:54.220
church often reflects what's happening in society.

399
00:25:54.220 --> 00:25:58.580
And in the church there has been gross fatherlessness for decades.

400
00:25:58.580 --> 00:26:04.120
Students produce, no, teachers produce students, and fathers produce sons, and the fathers

401
00:26:04.120 --> 00:26:06.980
of this nation, and there are a lot of them.

402
00:26:06.980 --> 00:26:10.220
But yeah, this stuff's happened, and we need to fix it.

403
00:26:10.220 --> 00:26:14.100
I'm not putting blame here or there, but there are things that are out of alignment that

404
00:26:14.100 --> 00:26:15.980
we need to bring back into alignment.

405
00:26:15.980 --> 00:26:20.180
So when God says he's going to judge, if he's going to judge a nation, look out, he's going

406
00:26:20.180 --> 00:26:21.500
to judge us first.

407
00:26:21.540 --> 00:26:25.940
Now, when you say judgment, straight away, many Christians think, oh, punishment, and

408
00:26:25.940 --> 00:26:28.340
you equate judgment with punishment.

409
00:26:28.340 --> 00:26:33.100
And in the Old Testament, it was punishment too, and Sodom and Gomorrah and all that sort

410
00:26:33.100 --> 00:26:34.100
of stuff.

411
00:26:34.100 --> 00:26:40.140
Okay, but at the same time, in this context, when God judges his house, the word judge,

412
00:26:40.140 --> 00:26:43.300
it means to bring back into alignment what is out of alignment.

413
00:26:43.300 --> 00:26:47.420
So when Israel, when they walked away from the living God and sinned, they went out of

414
00:26:47.420 --> 00:26:51.900
alignment, and they allowed the enemy to destroy them.

415
00:26:51.900 --> 00:26:52.980
God loves them.

416
00:26:52.980 --> 00:26:56.900
And God says, I'm bringing judgment, I'm bringing judgment upon you, I'm bringing alignment

417
00:26:56.900 --> 00:27:02.060
back on you, so you come back and love me so the hand of the enemy is lifted from you

418
00:27:02.060 --> 00:27:03.540
because I love you.

419
00:27:03.540 --> 00:27:09.300
Time and time again, God had to bring judgment on his people, not to punish them, but to

420
00:27:09.300 --> 00:27:11.740
bring them back into a loving relationship with him.

421
00:27:11.740 --> 00:27:17.740
And so judgment is not about so much punitive, it's about restoration, it's about bringing

422
00:27:17.740 --> 00:27:18.740
back into alignment.

423
00:27:18.740 --> 00:27:21.980
You're with me?

424
00:27:21.980 --> 00:27:26.820
So we're going somewhere.

425
00:27:26.820 --> 00:27:30.780
The nation's a mess, I believe, because the church is a mess.

426
00:27:30.780 --> 00:27:36.420
And I don't believe, well, we don't have the mana, we don't have the ear of the government,

427
00:27:36.420 --> 00:27:40.620
we don't have the air or the mana for them to listen to us.

428
00:27:40.620 --> 00:27:45.540
Because when unbelievers look at the church, and what is it?

429
00:27:45.540 --> 00:27:47.540
There's no one voice.

430
00:27:47.540 --> 00:27:48.540
There's so many voices.

431
00:27:48.540 --> 00:27:54.100
I was at Waitangi a couple years ago, Treaty of Waitangi, first time on Waitangi Day.

432
00:27:54.100 --> 00:27:57.780
And I was there on the Waitangi grounds, and there's all these voices speaking, there's

433
00:27:57.780 --> 00:28:03.100
political voices, there's Christian voices, there's Māori voices, but there are different

434
00:28:03.100 --> 00:28:06.020
Christian voices speaking off the Treaty grounds.

435
00:28:06.620 --> 00:28:10.620
Te Wairoa Tapu said to me, son, that's why my people are confused, because there's no

436
00:28:10.620 --> 00:28:12.940
clear one voice.

437
00:28:12.940 --> 00:28:16.260
They all have little voices, but there's no clear one voice.

438
00:28:16.260 --> 00:28:21.100
And the early church, when they spoke, it said they were of one mind, one heart, one

439
00:28:21.100 --> 00:28:25.060
voice, one Lord, one baptism, one God.

440
00:28:25.060 --> 00:28:27.340
And the early church is the pattern.

441
00:28:27.340 --> 00:28:29.620
Today in New Zealand, we don't have that.

442
00:28:29.620 --> 00:28:31.220
We don't have that pattern.

443
00:28:31.220 --> 00:28:34.300
But there's good news, God's pressed the reset button.

444
00:28:34.300 --> 00:28:36.660
So I believe we're heading towards that now.

445
00:28:36.660 --> 00:28:39.820
There is a pattern.

446
00:28:39.820 --> 00:28:44.580
And so let me keep going about this thought I have about when the house of God is out

447
00:28:44.580 --> 00:28:48.180
of order, it reflects intimidation.

448
00:28:48.180 --> 00:28:53.700
And so, for instance, if my marriage is out of order, if my arguments with Jess, if we're

449
00:28:53.700 --> 00:28:58.860
fighting all the time, but we go to church on Sunday, but our kids see us fighting, our

450
00:28:58.860 --> 00:29:06.220
kids are in the atmosphere of antagonism and of stress and anxiety and strife.

451
00:29:06.220 --> 00:29:12.380
And we go to church and we're praising God, but our kids are, they're antsy, they're playing

452
00:29:12.380 --> 00:29:13.380
up.

453
00:29:13.380 --> 00:29:17.460
And it's because they are affected by the atmosphere that we create.

454
00:29:17.460 --> 00:29:21.080
When we have contention as the parents, then it's going to affect the children.

455
00:29:21.080 --> 00:29:25.620
And we go to church and try to look like we're all happy, but it's not truth.

456
00:29:25.620 --> 00:29:28.580
And it's the same with the house of God.

457
00:29:28.580 --> 00:29:32.260
If there's contention in the house of God with the parents, it's going to reflect on

458
00:29:32.260 --> 00:29:37.380
the kids and it's going to, and I just see this as in the natural side of the spiritual.

459
00:29:37.380 --> 00:29:43.260
So God wants to bring divine order back into his house so he can bring blessing upon the

460
00:29:43.260 --> 00:29:46.460
house and that blessing can flow through the house to the nation.

461
00:29:46.460 --> 00:29:54.260
So let's go to Ezekiel 47, well, or in Ezekiel 47, sorry, Ezekiel 10 verse 18.

462
00:29:54.500 --> 00:29:59.180
And the glory of the Lord departed from the threshold of the temple and stood over the

463
00:29:59.180 --> 00:29:59.780
turban.

464
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:02.560
So in the days of Ezekiel, the glory of God

465
00:30:02.560 --> 00:30:05.280
was on the temple, which represents the church today.

466
00:30:05.280 --> 00:30:07.800
And when the glory was in the temple,

467
00:30:07.800 --> 00:30:09.760
when there's glory in the temple,

468
00:30:09.760 --> 00:30:11.400
kaiti pai, it's all good.

469
00:30:11.400 --> 00:30:13.400
But when there's no glory in the temple,

470
00:30:14.360 --> 00:30:15.360
then it will lift.

471
00:30:15.360 --> 00:30:16.920
And when there's no glory on the temple,

472
00:30:16.920 --> 00:30:18.320
it will affect the land.

473
00:30:18.320 --> 00:30:21.160
And so what happened was that Ezekiel,

474
00:30:21.160 --> 00:30:23.200
the prophet, saw that in the temple,

475
00:30:23.200 --> 00:30:26.480
behind the walls, there was idol worship.

476
00:30:26.480 --> 00:30:28.120
There's all this rubbish going on.

477
00:30:28.120 --> 00:30:30.040
And as a result, it grieved the Holy Spirit,

478
00:30:30.040 --> 00:30:32.000
it grieved God, and he lifted his presence.

479
00:30:32.000 --> 00:30:34.520
And his presence lifted off the house of God,

480
00:30:34.520 --> 00:30:37.320
which in turn lifted it off the nation of Israel.

481
00:30:38.760 --> 00:30:40.880
And then in Ezekiel 47,

482
00:30:40.880 --> 00:30:44.080
we see when the glory came back upon the house of God,

483
00:30:44.080 --> 00:30:45.800
when there is divine order in the house,

484
00:30:45.800 --> 00:30:47.440
a divine presence comes.

485
00:30:47.440 --> 00:30:49.280
And I believe, generally speaking,

486
00:30:49.280 --> 00:30:52.400
that the body of Christ, that the house of God,

487
00:30:52.400 --> 00:30:55.280
that the Western style of the way we have operated

488
00:30:55.280 --> 00:30:56.440
is out of order.

489
00:30:56.480 --> 00:30:59.200
And God's glory can't sit on that,

490
00:30:59.200 --> 00:31:00.720
which is not in his order.

491
00:31:00.720 --> 00:31:03.480
He doesn't bless a mess, it's gotta be done his way.

492
00:31:03.480 --> 00:31:04.920
And so I'm gonna come to that.

493
00:31:04.920 --> 00:31:06.880
What is God's way for the Church of New Zealand?

494
00:31:06.880 --> 00:31:09.080
How are we gonna move forward after this?

495
00:31:09.080 --> 00:31:11.520
And what's the face of the church gonna look like?

496
00:31:11.520 --> 00:31:13.400
Well, let's just keep going.

497
00:31:13.400 --> 00:31:16.360
So in Ezekiel 47, we see that when the glory

498
00:31:16.360 --> 00:31:18.960
came back on the house of God,

499
00:31:18.960 --> 00:31:21.560
obviously, because the leadership inside the house,

500
00:31:21.560 --> 00:31:22.960
something must have been right.

501
00:31:22.960 --> 00:31:25.160
Right, they must have come up into alignment.

502
00:31:25.160 --> 00:31:26.280
Then what happens?

503
00:31:27.160 --> 00:31:28.840
The river flowed out from the gate,

504
00:31:28.840 --> 00:31:30.440
from the east gate of the house of God.

505
00:31:30.440 --> 00:31:31.800
Where did it flow?

506
00:31:31.800 --> 00:31:33.640
It flowed across the land.

507
00:31:33.640 --> 00:31:35.320
It flowed to the different levels,

508
00:31:35.320 --> 00:31:38.760
ankle, knee, waist, big river.

509
00:31:38.760 --> 00:31:41.840
But it flowed out across the land,

510
00:31:41.840 --> 00:31:44.240
and it brought healing to the land.

511
00:31:44.240 --> 00:31:46.120
If my people who are called by my name

512
00:31:46.120 --> 00:31:49.160
will humble themselves and see my face

513
00:31:49.160 --> 00:31:51.560
and turn away from their wicked ways,

514
00:31:51.560 --> 00:31:53.280
then I will hear from heaven,

515
00:31:53.280 --> 00:31:54.880
I will forgive their sins,

516
00:31:54.920 --> 00:31:56.600
and I will heal their whenua.

517
00:31:56.600 --> 00:31:58.280
I will heal their land.

518
00:31:58.280 --> 00:32:02.640
And so we see that when the glory came back into the house,

519
00:32:02.640 --> 00:32:05.040
the glory flowed out from the house, from the church,

520
00:32:05.040 --> 00:32:06.240
and it affected the land.

521
00:32:06.240 --> 00:32:09.480
And I believe when we get things back into alignment

522
00:32:09.480 --> 00:32:11.720
in the house of God and our nation,

523
00:32:11.720 --> 00:32:13.520
that not only is the glory of his presence

524
00:32:13.520 --> 00:32:16.120
gonna come and bless and influence the church,

525
00:32:16.120 --> 00:32:19.440
I believe it's gonna bless and affect our nation.

526
00:32:19.440 --> 00:32:21.320
I believe it's gonna affect our land.

527
00:32:21.320 --> 00:32:23.520
I believe it's gonna have influence also

528
00:32:23.560 --> 00:32:24.920
over those in government,

529
00:32:24.920 --> 00:32:28.000
because when the government of God is in order on earth,

530
00:32:28.000 --> 00:32:30.200
then the government, the natural government on earth,

531
00:32:30.200 --> 00:32:33.240
it will be influenced by the government of God.

532
00:32:33.240 --> 00:32:34.280
Hallelujah.

533
00:32:34.280 --> 00:32:36.480
So we're going somewhere today,

534
00:32:36.480 --> 00:32:38.680
probably we didn't think we were gonna go,

535
00:32:38.680 --> 00:32:43.360
but it's in line with honour, humility, and hunger.

536
00:32:43.360 --> 00:32:45.120
We've gotta get honour back into the house of God

537
00:32:45.120 --> 00:32:49.240
and humility and hunger for God's pattern.

538
00:32:49.240 --> 00:32:52.480
So do you know the most powerful nation on the earth

539
00:32:52.480 --> 00:32:54.720
is not the United States, Russia, or China?

540
00:32:54.720 --> 00:32:57.080
It's you and me.

541
00:32:57.080 --> 00:32:59.880
1 Peter 2.9, but you are a chosen generation,

542
00:32:59.880 --> 00:33:02.000
a royal priesthood, a holy nation.

543
00:33:02.960 --> 00:33:04.080
It's the holy nation.

544
00:33:04.080 --> 00:33:06.560
We're the most powerful nation on the earth,

545
00:33:06.560 --> 00:33:08.800
but it doesn't appear that way.

546
00:33:08.800 --> 00:33:10.320
The most powerful nation on earth

547
00:33:10.320 --> 00:33:11.680
is not manifesting that power

548
00:33:11.680 --> 00:33:13.280
because of church dysfunction.

549
00:33:14.160 --> 00:33:15.640
The early church had an influence

550
00:33:15.640 --> 00:33:17.840
with leaders, nations, and society.

551
00:33:17.840 --> 00:33:19.280
The early church system of leaders

552
00:33:19.280 --> 00:33:22.160
is nothing like the Western church leadership system.

553
00:33:22.840 --> 00:33:25.600
The early church, which fathers were five-folders.

554
00:33:25.600 --> 00:33:29.480
They were apostles, prophets, evangelists,

555
00:33:29.480 --> 00:33:31.360
pastors, and teachers.

556
00:33:31.360 --> 00:33:34.720
They had particular giftings and functions.

557
00:33:34.720 --> 00:33:36.560
That was the early church.

558
00:33:36.560 --> 00:33:40.200
And they submitted one to another in honour and love,

559
00:33:40.200 --> 00:33:43.040
and they used their gifts to help build the church.

560
00:33:43.040 --> 00:33:44.840
And so in Ephesians chapter four,

561
00:33:44.840 --> 00:33:47.240
you read that God gave gifts unto men,

562
00:33:47.240 --> 00:33:48.960
some to be apostles, some to be prophets,

563
00:33:48.960 --> 00:33:50.480
some to be evangelists, some to be pastors,

564
00:33:50.480 --> 00:33:51.760
some to be teachers.

565
00:33:51.760 --> 00:33:54.320
And Ephesians 2, 20, 20 says,

566
00:33:54.320 --> 00:33:56.080
and God said in the church,

567
00:33:56.080 --> 00:33:57.760
first apostles, then prophets.

568
00:33:57.760 --> 00:34:00.080
And so there's a pattern,

569
00:34:00.080 --> 00:34:03.920
there's a recipe for a successful church, yeah?

570
00:34:03.920 --> 00:34:07.200
There's a recipe for a successful chocolate cake.

571
00:34:07.200 --> 00:34:09.679
My wife makes the most amazing chocolate cakes.

572
00:34:10.920 --> 00:34:13.239
But you know, I'm not a cook, I wouldn't know.

573
00:34:13.239 --> 00:34:15.320
But I know this, that if you're gonna make a cake,

574
00:34:15.320 --> 00:34:17.760
you gotta have eggs, and milk, and cocoa,

575
00:34:17.760 --> 00:34:19.120
and sugar, and butter.

576
00:34:19.120 --> 00:34:21.000
I know you gotta have the right ingredients.

577
00:34:21.040 --> 00:34:23.239
And so if I don't make a chocolate cake,

578
00:34:23.239 --> 00:34:26.120
but I don't put in eggs, or I don't put in chocolate,

579
00:34:26.120 --> 00:34:28.880
then the recipe's wrong, I'm always gonna get a flop.

580
00:34:28.880 --> 00:34:31.199
And if we keep trying to build the church

581
00:34:31.199 --> 00:34:33.400
according to human patterns,

582
00:34:33.400 --> 00:34:34.920
it's gonna keep flopping.

583
00:34:36.000 --> 00:34:39.440
Psalm 126a, unless the Lord builds the house,

584
00:34:39.440 --> 00:34:41.520
they that build it, labour in vain.

585
00:34:41.520 --> 00:34:44.880
And what is the recipe God has given to build the church?

586
00:34:44.880 --> 00:34:46.239
It's not just pastors and teachers.

587
00:34:46.239 --> 00:34:49.040
God blessed pastors and teachers and evangelists.

588
00:34:49.040 --> 00:34:50.520
But for the past 200 years,

589
00:34:51.040 --> 00:34:54.000
it's generally been pastors and teachers and evangelists

590
00:34:54.000 --> 00:34:56.239
that the church recognises they're gifting,

591
00:34:56.239 --> 00:34:57.960
and submits to it, and thank God for them

592
00:34:57.960 --> 00:34:59.960
without the pastors and teachers.

593
00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:02.360
I wouldn't be here today in the church,

594
00:35:02.360 --> 00:35:05.080
but God didn't just call the threefold

595
00:35:05.080 --> 00:35:06.160
to build his church.

596
00:35:06.160 --> 00:35:07.720
He called the fivefold,

597
00:35:07.720 --> 00:35:09.440
and that there needs to be a recognition

598
00:35:09.440 --> 00:35:12.360
and acknowledgement of the body of Christ in this nation

599
00:35:12.360 --> 00:35:14.800
to the ministry of the apostle and the prophet.

600
00:35:16.480 --> 00:35:17.880
But there's that, sit.

601
00:35:17.880 --> 00:35:19.280
We're not gonna sit, we're not gonna listen.

602
00:35:19.280 --> 00:35:20.240
Who do you think you are?

603
00:35:20.240 --> 00:35:24.520
We'll just roam the hills like goats.

604
00:35:24.520 --> 00:35:27.280
No, you're a new generation.

605
00:35:27.280 --> 00:35:28.600
God's given the fivefold,

606
00:35:28.600 --> 00:35:31.320
Ephesians 4, 11, Jesus gave gifts to men.

607
00:35:31.320 --> 00:35:34.920
He gave the gift of the fivefold ministry to the church.

608
00:35:34.920 --> 00:35:35.760
Why?

609
00:35:35.760 --> 00:35:38.880
To equip you and me for the work of the ministry

610
00:35:38.880 --> 00:35:40.280
that we might become mature,

611
00:35:40.280 --> 00:35:41.920
that we're no longer tossed to and fro

612
00:35:41.920 --> 00:35:43.320
by every wind of doctrine,

613
00:35:43.320 --> 00:35:45.200
that we grow up together in love,

614
00:35:45.200 --> 00:35:46.600
that we grow up.

615
00:35:46.600 --> 00:35:49.080
And the reason why the church is still so immature

616
00:35:49.080 --> 00:35:52.560
in our nation and most Western nations

617
00:35:52.560 --> 00:35:55.080
is because it takes a fivefold leadership,

618
00:35:55.080 --> 00:35:56.240
not the threefold leadership,

619
00:35:56.240 --> 00:35:58.400
to mature the body of Christ.

620
00:35:59.200 --> 00:36:02.400
So, listen to this.

621
00:36:04.920 --> 00:36:07.280
Sorry for saying it like that, listen to this.

622
00:36:08.200 --> 00:36:09.960
God's ways are like a jigsaw puzzle.

623
00:36:09.960 --> 00:36:11.520
He's got a plan for this nation.

624
00:36:11.520 --> 00:36:13.080
Ecclesiastes 3 says,

625
00:36:13.080 --> 00:36:15.160
for everything there is a season

626
00:36:15.160 --> 00:36:17.320
and a time for every purpose under heaven.

627
00:36:18.360 --> 00:36:21.640
Does the church now understand the season that we're in?

628
00:36:21.640 --> 00:36:25.600
Does it understand the time and the purpose that God has?

629
00:36:25.600 --> 00:36:27.680
God has pressed the reset button.

630
00:36:27.960 --> 00:36:30.320
God wants to reset His church.

631
00:36:30.320 --> 00:36:31.800
And it starts at the head.

632
00:36:31.800 --> 00:36:33.320
He wants to reset.

633
00:36:33.320 --> 00:36:35.880
And so God's plans for this nation,

634
00:36:35.880 --> 00:36:37.480
they're like a jigsaw puzzle.

635
00:36:37.480 --> 00:36:39.160
It's like a jigsaw puzzle.

636
00:36:39.160 --> 00:36:43.480
And each apostle and prophet in this nation has a piece.

637
00:36:43.480 --> 00:36:45.960
I have a piece, okay?

638
00:36:45.960 --> 00:36:47.160
I don't have the whole piece.

639
00:36:47.160 --> 00:36:48.880
I only have a piece of the jigsaw puzzle.

640
00:36:48.880 --> 00:36:50.360
I know I have a piece,

641
00:36:50.360 --> 00:36:52.840
but that piece isn't the whole picture.

642
00:36:52.840 --> 00:36:55.640
And unfortunately, what happens is

643
00:36:56.080 --> 00:36:57.480
many apostles or prophets,

644
00:36:57.480 --> 00:37:00.000
they get a little bit of revelation, a piece of revelation,

645
00:37:00.000 --> 00:37:01.680
and they think this is the whole picture.

646
00:37:01.680 --> 00:37:02.880
And they start spouting off,

647
00:37:02.880 --> 00:37:04.000
this is what the Lord is saying.

648
00:37:04.000 --> 00:37:06.080
This is what God, and it's true.

649
00:37:06.080 --> 00:37:07.280
It's what He's saying,

650
00:37:07.280 --> 00:37:10.520
but not just in the context of their little piece.

651
00:37:10.520 --> 00:37:13.800
I put my piece of revelation next to other apostles,

652
00:37:13.800 --> 00:37:16.320
and there's some great young men and women,

653
00:37:16.320 --> 00:37:17.960
and older men and women of God,

654
00:37:17.960 --> 00:37:19.280
apostles and prophets in this nation.

655
00:37:19.280 --> 00:37:21.240
And when I put my piece of revelation

656
00:37:21.240 --> 00:37:23.120
next to their piece of revelation

657
00:37:23.160 --> 00:37:28.040
on the table of no ego, of no denomination, of no agendas,

658
00:37:28.040 --> 00:37:31.040
just the table of the kingdom of God, sitting with Jesus.

659
00:37:31.040 --> 00:37:32.920
When I put my piece of revelation

660
00:37:32.920 --> 00:37:34.560
on the table for this nation,

661
00:37:34.560 --> 00:37:36.120
and they put their piece,

662
00:37:36.120 --> 00:37:38.920
suddenly we begin to see a picture form.

663
00:37:38.920 --> 00:37:42.360
And at the moment, we're not all sitting at the table.

664
00:37:42.360 --> 00:37:44.320
Not all sitting at the same table.

665
00:37:44.320 --> 00:37:46.200
And that's coming, that's coming.

666
00:37:47.160 --> 00:37:50.080
We've got a wee way to go, New Zealand.

667
00:37:50.080 --> 00:37:52.920
But imagine a gathering of New Zealand five-folders

668
00:37:53.720 --> 00:37:54.560
sitting at a table.

669
00:37:54.560 --> 00:37:56.600
I mean genuine God-appointed five-folders.

670
00:37:56.600 --> 00:37:58.840
There's so many self-appointed ones,

671
00:37:58.840 --> 00:38:00.480
and it's dangerous for them.

672
00:38:00.480 --> 00:38:05.480
But God-appointed, genuine God-appointed five-folders

673
00:38:05.480 --> 00:38:07.280
that you honour, that you acknowledge,

674
00:38:07.280 --> 00:38:09.880
that you respect, that the body of Christ honours

675
00:38:09.880 --> 00:38:11.240
and respects.

676
00:38:11.240 --> 00:38:14.200
Imagine us, we're sitting at a table,

677
00:38:15.280 --> 00:38:17.840
figuratively speaking, and using our gifting,

678
00:38:17.840 --> 00:38:20.560
putting our pieces together, and using our giftings

679
00:38:20.560 --> 00:38:22.760
to work together to build the body of Christ,

680
00:38:23.600 --> 00:38:24.440
to extend the kingdom of God,

681
00:38:24.440 --> 00:38:26.720
to build the church according to his pattern.

682
00:38:26.720 --> 00:38:29.080
It doesn't mean that we're putting pastors

683
00:38:29.080 --> 00:38:30.160
and teachers out of work.

684
00:38:30.160 --> 00:38:31.680
No, no, we need each other.

685
00:38:31.680 --> 00:38:34.800
We work together rather than working apart.

686
00:38:34.800 --> 00:38:36.840
So I acknowledge, and I recognise the gifting

687
00:38:36.840 --> 00:38:38.800
on our other apostles, and I submit to that,

688
00:38:38.800 --> 00:38:40.760
because I'm gonna learn from another apostle,

689
00:38:40.760 --> 00:38:43.880
another prophet, another pastor, teacher, evangelist.

690
00:38:43.880 --> 00:38:45.320
I learn.

691
00:38:45.320 --> 00:38:46.720
They help build me up,

692
00:38:46.720 --> 00:38:48.640
but my gift also helps build them up.

693
00:38:48.640 --> 00:38:50.480
We need this culture of honour,

694
00:38:50.480 --> 00:38:53.240
and this culture of humility back in the body of Christ,

695
00:38:53.240 --> 00:38:54.880
starting with the leadership,

696
00:38:54.880 --> 00:38:58.080
to begin to recognise and give deference,

697
00:38:58.080 --> 00:39:00.520
and submit and commit to one another,

698
00:39:00.520 --> 00:39:03.320
and our gift, and use our gift to help build each other up.

699
00:39:03.320 --> 00:39:05.160
Use our gift to help build our churches.

700
00:39:05.160 --> 00:39:07.600
Use our gift to help speak and bring influence

701
00:39:07.600 --> 00:39:09.320
into our land, into our nation.

702
00:39:09.320 --> 00:39:11.080
That's what God wants.

703
00:39:11.080 --> 00:39:14.200
Now, it's already happening in a lot of regions

704
00:39:14.200 --> 00:39:17.200
of this nation, in different towns and cities.

705
00:39:17.200 --> 00:39:20.000
There is a coming together of godly five-folders,

706
00:39:20.000 --> 00:39:20.960
and that's awesome.

707
00:39:20.960 --> 00:39:22.320
But I'm talking right across the board,

708
00:39:22.320 --> 00:39:25.080
the whole nation, because we need a voice

709
00:39:25.080 --> 00:39:27.880
that speaks, representing the body of Christ.

710
00:39:27.880 --> 00:39:30.120
We need a national voice, not a committee.

711
00:39:31.160 --> 00:39:34.080
Not a committee of administrators and teachers.

712
00:39:34.080 --> 00:39:36.600
We need, God didn't have a committee.

713
00:39:36.600 --> 00:39:38.600
He had apostles and prophets stand up

714
00:39:38.600 --> 00:39:40.280
and say, thus saith the Lord in the time,

715
00:39:40.280 --> 00:39:42.200
but they had the backing of the church,

716
00:39:42.200 --> 00:39:43.840
and it wasn't just one prophet,

717
00:39:43.840 --> 00:39:47.480
that one prophesied and two weighed up the matter.

718
00:39:47.480 --> 00:39:50.520
So it was safety, it was true prophets, true apostles.

719
00:39:50.520 --> 00:39:53.160
And imagine, God wants that for this land.

720
00:39:53.160 --> 00:39:57.560
So the five-fold are a gift to the church.

721
00:39:58.920 --> 00:40:00.720
Okay, I'm gonna read to you Ephesians.

722
00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:03.120
No, I'm not, you read it yourself, it'll take too long.

723
00:40:04.480 --> 00:40:07.680
So the past 200 years, the Western Church in New Zealand

724
00:40:07.680 --> 00:40:11.360
and around the world generally has been led by God-fearing

725
00:40:11.360 --> 00:40:13.600
and blessed pastors, teachers, and evangelists,

726
00:40:13.600 --> 00:40:16.320
and bless them, but we need the apostles and prophets

727
00:40:16.320 --> 00:40:18.480
also to join in, we want the right recipe,

728
00:40:18.480 --> 00:40:20.360
we want a good chocolate cake, yeah?

729
00:40:20.360 --> 00:40:22.960
Therefore, the church can never mature to be

730
00:40:22.960 --> 00:40:26.320
who Jesus called it to be until the five-fold are operating.

731
00:40:26.320 --> 00:40:29.520
So imagine a coalition of genuine God-appointed five-folders

732
00:40:29.520 --> 00:40:31.600
led by apostles and prophets in Aotearoa

733
00:40:31.600 --> 00:40:33.800
walking and serving together.

734
00:40:33.800 --> 00:40:35.560
Imagine that they have the respect and honor

735
00:40:35.560 --> 00:40:37.640
and the backing of the whole body of Christ in the nation

736
00:40:37.640 --> 00:40:39.840
so that when they speak, governments listen.

737
00:40:40.920 --> 00:40:45.120
Now, coming to a close, God gave New Zealand a glimpse

738
00:40:45.120 --> 00:40:47.840
of what I'm talking about, of how we could be,

739
00:40:47.840 --> 00:40:49.160
of what we could be.

740
00:40:49.160 --> 00:40:51.240
Over 100 years ago, God raised up

741
00:40:51.240 --> 00:40:53.080
one of New Zealand's greatest apostles,

742
00:40:53.080 --> 00:40:56.680
an apostle prophet that the church has ever seen,

743
00:40:56.680 --> 00:40:58.240
one of the greatest.

744
00:40:58.280 --> 00:41:01.680
My personal view, I believe he is the greatest.

745
00:41:01.680 --> 00:41:06.680
And this apostle, this man, his ministry shook the nation

746
00:41:07.520 --> 00:41:10.120
as he honored and preached Jesus.

747
00:41:10.120 --> 00:41:12.800
Holy Spirit confirmed his ministry with incredible signs

748
00:41:12.800 --> 00:41:14.920
and wonders and miracles on a scale

749
00:41:14.920 --> 00:41:17.160
that haven't been seen since in this nation.

750
00:41:18.400 --> 00:41:20.600
Tens of thousands in New Zealand came to Christ

751
00:41:20.600 --> 00:41:23.120
as they repented of the things that robbed them

752
00:41:23.120 --> 00:41:25.800
from being sons of God.

753
00:41:25.800 --> 00:41:29.920
More were saved through this man's ministry

754
00:41:29.920 --> 00:41:32.520
than all the crusades done in New Zealand.

755
00:41:34.360 --> 00:41:36.760
People from around the world sent letters for prayer

756
00:41:36.760 --> 00:41:38.920
and healing and received amazing miracles

757
00:41:38.920 --> 00:41:43.160
by this apostle prophet that God raised up in this nation.

758
00:41:44.280 --> 00:41:45.800
This is just some of his ministries.

759
00:41:45.800 --> 00:41:47.840
This man was in London just before the outbreak

760
00:41:47.840 --> 00:41:48.920
of the Second World War.

761
00:41:48.920 --> 00:41:50.840
And as he was walking across London Bridge,

762
00:41:50.840 --> 00:41:53.520
he saw all the buildings and he stopped and he said,

763
00:41:53.560 --> 00:41:57.120
I see all these buildings in ruins and smoking.

764
00:41:57.120 --> 00:41:59.240
And it was only a couple of years later,

765
00:41:59.240 --> 00:42:02.280
but the Nazis sent the blitz and they bombed that whole area

766
00:42:02.280 --> 00:42:04.040
and what he saw came to pass.

767
00:42:05.680 --> 00:42:08.280
He went to Japan and while he's in Japan,

768
00:42:08.280 --> 00:42:11.720
he warned the emperor that if he didn't repent

769
00:42:11.720 --> 00:42:14.520
from the people worshiping him as a God,

770
00:42:14.520 --> 00:42:17.120
that the living God would have to judge his nation.

771
00:42:17.120 --> 00:42:19.920
And he said, as he is saying this,

772
00:42:19.920 --> 00:42:21.960
he saw two bright lights would come over

773
00:42:22.720 --> 00:42:24.840
the emperor's nation of Japan.

774
00:42:24.840 --> 00:42:26.360
And I mean, what happened?

775
00:42:26.360 --> 00:42:29.320
Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the atomic bombs

776
00:42:29.320 --> 00:42:30.680
humbled that nation.

777
00:42:30.680 --> 00:42:33.440
And he prophesied, it wasn't just prophecy,

778
00:42:33.440 --> 00:42:36.920
he was a prophet on a high level, on a global level.

779
00:42:38.080 --> 00:42:40.520
To this day, government leaders of all main parties

780
00:42:40.520 --> 00:42:42.040
in New Zealand are still influenced

781
00:42:42.040 --> 00:42:43.920
by this apostle prophet's ministry.

782
00:42:43.920 --> 00:42:46.960
And they go to the place where he operated from every year

783
00:42:46.960 --> 00:42:49.760
just to get the favour of many of his people.

784
00:42:49.760 --> 00:42:51.760
Imagine today, if there were a group of apostles

785
00:42:52.560 --> 00:42:54.360
and prophets in New Zealand that had the influence

786
00:42:54.360 --> 00:42:55.960
that God gave to that one man.

787
00:42:57.000 --> 00:42:59.200
Do you know who that man was that God used

788
00:42:59.200 --> 00:43:02.160
a hundred years ago, over a hundred years ago?

789
00:43:02.160 --> 00:43:03.320
Do you know who he was?

790
00:43:05.760 --> 00:43:08.000
Tahu Potiki Wirimu Ratana.

791
00:43:10.000 --> 00:43:11.800
Some of you just know him as Ratana.

792
00:43:13.640 --> 00:43:14.960
Wirimu Ratana.

793
00:43:14.960 --> 00:43:16.960
It's interesting, history repeating itself

794
00:43:16.960 --> 00:43:20.640
because it was during the Spanish flu in 1918

795
00:43:20.640 --> 00:43:23.040
that God put his call upon him.

796
00:43:23.040 --> 00:43:24.400
It was in 19, I'll read this.

797
00:43:24.400 --> 00:43:26.760
Just over a hundred years ago, the world was overtaken

798
00:43:26.760 --> 00:43:28.360
by the Spanish influenza.

799
00:43:28.360 --> 00:43:32.800
During 1918 to 1919, an estimated 500 million people

800
00:43:32.800 --> 00:43:37.000
contracted the virus and 50 million died as a result.

801
00:43:37.000 --> 00:43:39.040
This was in the early days of Pentecostalism.

802
00:43:39.040 --> 00:43:40.840
Similar measures were put in place,

803
00:43:40.840 --> 00:43:42.000
group gatherings were banned

804
00:43:42.000 --> 00:43:44.240
and churches were shut down over this time.

805
00:43:44.240 --> 00:43:46.280
People were in self-isolation.

806
00:43:46.280 --> 00:43:48.800
A hundred years ago, 1918.

807
00:43:49.560 --> 00:43:50.880
Here we are a hundred years later,

808
00:43:50.880 --> 00:43:53.360
we are shut down all over the world,

809
00:43:53.360 --> 00:43:55.480
most of the world anyway.

810
00:43:55.480 --> 00:43:57.920
The church is shut down, group gatherings banned,

811
00:43:57.920 --> 00:43:59.240
self-isolation.

812
00:44:01.840 --> 00:44:02.840
Isn't this interesting?

813
00:44:02.840 --> 00:44:05.520
Well, that was happening over a hundred years ago

814
00:44:05.520 --> 00:44:07.440
when Wirimu Ratana, when God put the call

815
00:44:07.440 --> 00:44:09.680
on that man of God and raised him up

816
00:44:09.680 --> 00:44:11.440
to the nation of the nations.

817
00:44:11.440 --> 00:44:14.560
But the church generally back then didn't recognise him

818
00:44:14.560 --> 00:44:17.280
and at large today, still much of the church

819
00:44:17.320 --> 00:44:19.080
doesn't acknowledge or recognise

820
00:44:20.200 --> 00:44:23.000
Tahu Potiki Wirimu Ratana

821
00:44:23.000 --> 00:44:25.000
as one of the greatest apostle prophet,

822
00:44:25.000 --> 00:44:28.040
gifts that Jesus gave to the body of Christ, to this nation.

823
00:44:28.040 --> 00:44:29.680
Maybe you need to repent of that.

824
00:44:32.040 --> 00:44:34.280
He's my hero, one of my heroes.

825
00:44:34.280 --> 00:44:35.320
You say, but he's dead.

826
00:44:35.320 --> 00:44:36.480
No, he ain't dead.

827
00:44:36.480 --> 00:44:38.640
He's as dead as Abraham then.

828
00:44:38.640 --> 00:44:39.880
God's the God of the living

829
00:44:39.880 --> 00:44:41.880
and he's looking down on us right now.

830
00:44:44.440 --> 00:44:46.800
So during lockdown, a hundred years ago,

831
00:44:47.160 --> 00:44:49.160
God put the call of God upon this man,

832
00:44:49.160 --> 00:44:50.880
which shook this nation.

833
00:44:50.880 --> 00:44:52.880
Could it be that a hundred years later,

834
00:44:52.880 --> 00:44:53.920
we're in the same lockdown,

835
00:44:53.920 --> 00:44:56.280
God's pressing maybe wanting us to press reset,

836
00:44:57.680 --> 00:44:58.520
begin to

837
00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:04.120
seek Him first, to begin to get our first love back,

838
00:45:04.120 --> 00:45:07.960
to begin to maybe get together

839
00:45:07.960 --> 00:45:10.600
and allow God to raise up the fivefold.

840
00:45:10.600 --> 00:45:13.200
Now, if you're not a fivefold,

841
00:45:13.200 --> 00:45:14.480
if God hasn't called you that,

842
00:45:14.480 --> 00:45:17.640
it's no just, it's, this isn't a judgment.

843
00:45:17.640 --> 00:45:19.520
This is, He doesn't choose everybody

844
00:45:19.520 --> 00:45:21.280
to be an apostle, prophet, or being a vengeance pastor,

845
00:45:21.280 --> 00:45:22.640
teacher, and you should be glad for that.

846
00:45:22.640 --> 00:45:24.600
You don't want to be one unless you're called,

847
00:45:24.600 --> 00:45:26.560
because there's a price to pay.

848
00:45:26.560 --> 00:45:28.600
You've got to die for it.

849
00:45:28.760 --> 00:45:32.200
But if you're not, you know, what can you do?

850
00:45:32.200 --> 00:45:33.040
You can pray.

851
00:45:33.040 --> 00:45:34.600
You can pray for the apostles, prophets,

852
00:45:34.600 --> 00:45:36.440
vengeance pastors, and teachers of this nation,

853
00:45:36.440 --> 00:45:37.840
the genuine God appointed,

854
00:45:37.840 --> 00:45:39.920
that their ears will open, their hearts will soften,

855
00:45:39.920 --> 00:45:42.280
and that they'll allow God to reset,

856
00:45:42.280 --> 00:45:44.720
and that we will come together.

857
00:45:44.720 --> 00:45:47.600
That we'll understand this is,

858
00:45:47.600 --> 00:45:49.600
for everything is a season and a time for every purpose.

859
00:45:49.600 --> 00:45:51.040
It will understand the season and the time

860
00:45:51.040 --> 00:45:52.840
and the purpose for this nation.

861
00:45:55.000 --> 00:45:57.200
So this is what I'm going to do.

862
00:45:57.200 --> 00:45:58.760
Pray for me for wisdom and favour,

863
00:45:58.760 --> 00:46:01.400
because I'm going to send an email out to every,

864
00:46:01.400 --> 00:46:06.000
who I consider a God appointed firefolder,

865
00:46:06.000 --> 00:46:07.800
and I'm going to share some of these thoughts with them

866
00:46:07.800 --> 00:46:10.000
that I'm sharing with you this morning.

867
00:46:10.000 --> 00:46:11.120
Okay?

868
00:46:11.120 --> 00:46:13.280
And so there we go, whānau.

869
00:46:14.760 --> 00:46:16.480
What can you do to help bring this reset?

870
00:46:16.480 --> 00:46:17.440
Pray.

871
00:46:17.440 --> 00:46:19.080
Pray for the firefold.

872
00:46:19.080 --> 00:46:22.320
Pray for God's will to be done on earth as it is in heaven.

873
00:46:22.320 --> 00:46:24.080
Pray for His church

874
00:46:24.800 --> 00:46:28.280
to accept, to humble itself,

875
00:46:28.280 --> 00:46:30.160
to show honour to the giftings

876
00:46:30.160 --> 00:46:31.920
that God has given to the church.

877
00:46:31.920 --> 00:46:35.360
That it's not just the firefolders, it's Christians.

878
00:46:35.360 --> 00:46:37.480
So many Christians in this nation,

879
00:46:37.480 --> 00:46:38.720
great men and women of God,

880
00:46:38.720 --> 00:46:41.000
but hey, we can't be mature

881
00:46:41.000 --> 00:46:44.440
unless we've got humility, honour, and hunger.

882
00:46:44.440 --> 00:46:45.280
I'm hungry.

883
00:46:45.280 --> 00:46:46.600
I can't keep going like this.

884
00:46:46.600 --> 00:46:47.440
I want more.

885
00:46:48.480 --> 00:46:50.040
I want more than revival too.

886
00:46:50.040 --> 00:46:51.480
I want transformation.

887
00:46:51.480 --> 00:46:53.000
I want social transformation,

888
00:46:53.720 --> 00:46:55.680
and I want generational transformation.

889
00:46:55.680 --> 00:46:57.760
I don't want just a revival, a flash in the pan.

890
00:46:57.760 --> 00:46:59.600
I want what God wants.

891
00:46:59.600 --> 00:47:01.560
I want on earth what is in heaven.

892
00:47:01.560 --> 00:47:04.240
So, there we go, whānau.

893
00:47:04.240 --> 00:47:05.200
There's my message.

894
00:47:05.200 --> 00:47:06.400
I'm going to give you the homework now,

895
00:47:06.400 --> 00:47:07.360
and then I'm going to pray for you.

896
00:47:07.360 --> 00:47:08.480
Here's the homework.

897
00:47:08.480 --> 00:47:12.160
Homework, Luke 4, 18, declaration, keep doing it.

898
00:47:12.160 --> 00:47:14.640
Acts 10, 38, keep memorising that.

899
00:47:14.640 --> 00:47:17.320
Now, to restore honour, here's your homework.

900
00:47:17.320 --> 00:47:19.400
Here's your homework to restore honour.

901
00:47:20.440 --> 00:47:21.840
Let's bring it home now.

902
00:47:22.240 --> 00:47:24.040
Is there areas of honour you need to deal with

903
00:47:24.040 --> 00:47:25.760
in your life, personal life?

904
00:47:25.760 --> 00:47:28.920
Go before God and ask him if there are any areas

905
00:47:28.920 --> 00:47:31.800
that you need to repent of regarding dishonour

906
00:47:31.800 --> 00:47:34.000
to God or to man.

907
00:47:34.000 --> 00:47:37.360
Just ask him, is there any dishonour in my heart, Father?

908
00:47:37.360 --> 00:47:39.160
Because we can't sow honour into others

909
00:47:39.160 --> 00:47:41.360
if we're carrying dishonour in our own hearts, eh?

910
00:47:41.360 --> 00:47:43.800
We can't try and sow honour and unity into the body

911
00:47:43.800 --> 00:47:47.080
if we've got dishonour and gossip in our own hearts.

912
00:47:47.080 --> 00:47:51.160
So, if he shows you've dishonoured someone in your mind,

913
00:47:51.160 --> 00:47:53.200
repent in your head and ask God for forgiveness.

914
00:47:53.200 --> 00:47:54.160
That's it.

915
00:47:54.160 --> 00:47:56.360
But if he shows you've dishonoured someone publicly,

916
00:47:56.360 --> 00:47:58.720
you've gone and gossiped and said,

917
00:47:58.720 --> 00:48:00.320
am I telling you to do something I would do?

918
00:48:00.320 --> 00:48:02.440
Yeah, I've had to do this several times.

919
00:48:02.440 --> 00:48:04.160
And it's painful, it's embarrassing,

920
00:48:04.160 --> 00:48:05.080
but it keeps you clean.

921
00:48:05.080 --> 00:48:06.640
I'd rather have a clear conscience

922
00:48:06.640 --> 00:48:08.400
than to look good on the outside.

923
00:48:08.400 --> 00:48:11.640
And so, I remember a time when I gossiped

924
00:48:11.640 --> 00:48:13.080
about my pastor, actually.

925
00:48:13.080 --> 00:48:14.440
I didn't like a decision he made,

926
00:48:14.440 --> 00:48:16.600
so I went and told the receptionist

927
00:48:16.600 --> 00:48:17.880
I didn't agree with that and blah, blah.

928
00:48:17.880 --> 00:48:18.800
So I gossiped.

929
00:48:18.800 --> 00:48:20.160
Then I went and talked to another pastor

930
00:48:20.160 --> 00:48:22.320
and back-bit behind my pastor's back.

931
00:48:22.320 --> 00:48:24.080
When my pastor walked into the office

932
00:48:24.080 --> 00:48:26.400
a couple of days later, suddenly I felt all guilty.

933
00:48:26.400 --> 00:48:27.480
I just felt guilty.

934
00:48:27.480 --> 00:48:29.040
The Holy Ghost was really grieved.

935
00:48:29.040 --> 00:48:31.560
And he said, you go and apologise, number one,

936
00:48:31.560 --> 00:48:34.840
to the receptionist for spearing your gossip over her

937
00:48:34.840 --> 00:48:37.040
and you go and apologise to the other pastor

938
00:48:37.040 --> 00:48:38.040
for spearing your gossip,

939
00:48:38.040 --> 00:48:40.280
and then you go and apologise to your pastor.

940
00:48:42.360 --> 00:48:44.880
I said, can't I just ask you for forgiveness, Lord?

941
00:48:44.880 --> 00:48:46.360
I don't have to do that, please.

942
00:48:46.360 --> 00:48:49.160
He says, if it was in private in your head, you could.

943
00:48:49.160 --> 00:48:51.840
But what you did publicly, you publicly dishonoured,

944
00:48:51.840 --> 00:48:53.360
you publicly honour again.

945
00:48:53.360 --> 00:48:54.440
Oh!

946
00:48:54.440 --> 00:48:55.400
So I did it, whānau.

947
00:48:55.400 --> 00:48:57.960
I went to my receptionist and I apologised to her

948
00:48:57.960 --> 00:48:59.800
for gossiping about my pastor.

949
00:48:59.800 --> 00:49:00.840
I shouldn't have done that.

950
00:49:00.840 --> 00:49:03.640
That was just dishonourable, an abomination to God.

951
00:49:03.640 --> 00:49:05.920
And I asked for her forgiveness.

952
00:49:05.920 --> 00:49:07.040
Then I went to the other pastor

953
00:49:07.040 --> 00:49:09.880
and I did the same, asked for forgiveness and apologised.

954
00:49:09.880 --> 00:49:11.080
So I shouldn't have done that.

955
00:49:11.080 --> 00:49:13.360
Then I went to my pastor and I sat down

956
00:49:13.360 --> 00:49:15.080
and I told him what I'd done.

957
00:49:15.080 --> 00:49:17.800
And I apologised and I asked for his forgiveness.

958
00:49:17.800 --> 00:49:19.960
And thank God, he's a real father in the faith.

959
00:49:19.960 --> 00:49:22.720
He honoured me and he thanked me for doing that.

960
00:49:22.720 --> 00:49:24.000
And he said, man, I can see God's

961
00:49:24.000 --> 00:49:25.480
in her deep work in you, Norm.

962
00:49:25.480 --> 00:49:26.680
I thank God for that, man.

963
00:49:26.680 --> 00:49:28.800
He helped me become a man of God,

964
00:49:28.800 --> 00:49:30.440
because I learnt how to submit to him.

965
00:49:30.440 --> 00:49:32.840
I learnt how to commit to wisdom of God, the Holy Spirit,

966
00:49:32.840 --> 00:49:35.520
but also to that man that God put over me.

967
00:49:35.520 --> 00:49:37.080
And some of you, you know, some of you,

968
00:49:37.080 --> 00:49:39.600
maybe you haven't, you've been hurt by churches

969
00:49:39.600 --> 00:49:40.560
or hurt by other people.

970
00:49:40.560 --> 00:49:43.040
I understand the leadership abuse and all that,

971
00:49:43.040 --> 00:49:44.960
but you've got to get over it, you know.

972
00:49:44.960 --> 00:49:46.160
We've all been hurt.

973
00:49:46.160 --> 00:49:47.400
Who hasn't been hurt?

974
00:49:48.120 --> 00:49:48.960
If you say you've been hurt,

975
00:49:48.960 --> 00:49:50.640
well, take a number and join the queue.

976
00:49:50.640 --> 00:49:51.800
We've all been hurt.

977
00:49:51.800 --> 00:49:53.280
But Jesus was hurt.

978
00:49:53.280 --> 00:49:55.320
You heard Jesus, I heard Jesus.

979
00:49:55.320 --> 00:49:56.640
You and I, we put him on a cross.

980
00:49:56.640 --> 00:49:58.840
We nailed him to a cross with our sin,

981
00:49:58.840 --> 00:50:00.080
and yet he forgave us.

982
00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:05.260
And so if He forgave us of the sin that we did to Him, who are we not to forgive others

983
00:50:05.260 --> 00:50:06.920
who have hurt us?

984
00:50:06.920 --> 00:50:11.440
And okay, so if you need to forgive someone who hurt you, but at the same time, if you've

985
00:50:11.440 --> 00:50:15.880
hurt others, if you've gossiped over somebody, then listen to the Holy Spirit.

986
00:50:15.880 --> 00:50:17.800
You know, use wisdom.

987
00:50:17.800 --> 00:50:18.800
What's appropriate?

988
00:50:18.800 --> 00:50:19.800
What's He saying to you?

989
00:50:19.800 --> 00:50:23.000
Is it, it might be, it might, there's some cases you need to talk to your pastor.

990
00:50:23.000 --> 00:50:26.440
If there's some abuse cases from the past, yeah, you better talk to your pastor about

991
00:50:26.440 --> 00:50:28.020
how you handle that wisely.

992
00:50:28.020 --> 00:50:33.780
But if it's just plain gossip or backbiting, then you need to apologize to them.

993
00:50:33.780 --> 00:50:37.260
Because God gives you grace, but He didn't give the people you gossip to grace to handle

994
00:50:37.260 --> 00:50:38.260
the situation.

995
00:50:38.260 --> 00:50:41.540
And so now they've got something in their heart towards whoever it was you gossiped

996
00:50:41.540 --> 00:50:43.500
about, and you've defiled them.

997
00:50:43.500 --> 00:50:45.820
And so it's not to condemn you, but it's to free you.

998
00:50:45.820 --> 00:50:47.940
Judgment means bring back into alignment what's out of alignment.

999
00:50:47.940 --> 00:50:49.780
So we need to judge ourselves, Paul said.

1000
00:50:49.780 --> 00:50:52.280
If we judged ourselves, we wouldn't be judged.

1001
00:50:52.280 --> 00:50:53.620
So this is just self-judgment.

1002
00:50:53.620 --> 00:50:55.780
This is what we do in the Warrior Activist Course.

1003
00:50:55.780 --> 00:50:57.500
This is why it's called a Warrior Course.

1004
00:50:57.500 --> 00:50:58.500
We are warriors.

1005
00:50:58.500 --> 00:50:59.500
Kia kaha!

1006
00:50:59.500 --> 00:51:00.500
We are warriors.

1007
00:51:00.500 --> 00:51:01.500
We don't talk about it.

1008
00:51:01.500 --> 00:51:03.500
We don't, it's not waha, it's kaha.

1009
00:51:03.500 --> 00:51:05.740
Okay, it's not hui hui, it's dewey dewey.

1010
00:51:05.740 --> 00:51:09.060
It's making changes in our lives, becoming more like Jesus.

1011
00:51:09.060 --> 00:51:10.060
So that's number one.

1012
00:51:10.060 --> 00:51:11.060
That's honor, homework.

1013
00:51:11.060 --> 00:51:13.420
Here's your humility homework.

1014
00:51:13.420 --> 00:51:14.420
Restore humility.

1015
00:51:14.420 --> 00:51:19.020
Ask God if there's any pride or arrogance in your heart you need to repent of, okay?

1016
00:51:19.020 --> 00:51:21.360
He gives you grace to walk in humility.

1017
00:51:21.360 --> 00:51:24.820
So 1 Peter 5, likewise you younger, submit yourself to the elder.

1018
00:51:24.820 --> 00:51:28.620
All of you be subject one to another, be clothed with humility, for God resists the

1019
00:51:28.620 --> 00:51:31.060
proud and gives grace to the humble.

1020
00:51:31.060 --> 00:51:35.860
Humble yourself therefore unto the mighty hand of God that he may exalt you in due time.

1021
00:51:35.860 --> 00:51:39.020
So God wants, God gives grace to the humble.

1022
00:51:39.020 --> 00:51:42.560
Grace is a divine empowerment to do what he's called us to do.

1023
00:51:42.560 --> 00:51:45.020
And we need grace.

1024
00:51:45.020 --> 00:51:46.780
But grace only comes to the humble.

1025
00:51:46.780 --> 00:51:49.580
And so I need grace every day to walk as Jesus walks.

1026
00:51:49.580 --> 00:51:52.420
I need grace so I don't backbite, just gossip.

1027
00:51:52.420 --> 00:51:53.420
I need grace.

1028
00:51:53.780 --> 00:51:55.500
So I keep my eyes clean.

1029
00:51:55.500 --> 00:51:56.500
I need grace.

1030
00:51:56.500 --> 00:51:58.900
But he only gives it when we humble ourselves.

1031
00:51:58.900 --> 00:52:02.500
And we humble ourselves by being honest to God, honest to one another.

1032
00:52:02.500 --> 00:52:06.020
If you have sinned, you just confess it to God, ask for forgiveness.

1033
00:52:06.020 --> 00:52:07.260
He wipes it just like that.

1034
00:52:07.260 --> 00:52:09.480
He deletes all the naughty bits of our lives.

1035
00:52:09.480 --> 00:52:10.480
He's so wonderful.

1036
00:52:10.480 --> 00:52:11.480
He's so merciful.

1037
00:52:11.480 --> 00:52:12.480
He's so magnificent.

1038
00:52:12.480 --> 00:52:13.480
That's our Jesus.

1039
00:52:13.480 --> 00:52:14.480
Okay, fine.

1040
00:52:14.480 --> 00:52:15.480
There's your homework.

1041
00:52:15.480 --> 00:52:18.300
I'm going to pray for you now.

1042
00:52:18.300 --> 00:52:19.300
Okay.

1043
00:52:19.300 --> 00:52:22.100
Thank you, Jesus.

1044
00:52:22.100 --> 00:52:29.740
So as I count to three, I want you to lean forward into the presence of Jesus.

1045
00:52:29.740 --> 00:52:33.220
Thank you, Jesus.

1046
00:52:33.220 --> 00:52:36.780
Thank you, Lord.

1047
00:52:36.780 --> 00:52:37.780
I just bless you.

1048
00:52:37.780 --> 00:52:40.120
I give you praise, Lord.

1049
00:52:40.120 --> 00:52:43.580
So if you've got sickness in your body, I want you to put your hand over your heart

1050
00:52:43.580 --> 00:52:44.580
right now.

1051
00:52:44.580 --> 00:52:49.720
And on the count of three, I want you to lean forward into the wonderful healing presence

1052
00:52:49.720 --> 00:52:50.720
of Jesus.

1053
00:52:50.720 --> 00:53:02.080
I'm receiving so many testimonies from people who've been healed, have woken up, and pain

1054
00:53:02.080 --> 00:53:04.160
has left their body.

1055
00:53:04.160 --> 00:53:08.840
One lady in particular, she's had, I'm going to wait to get the doctor's clearance, the

1056
00:53:08.840 --> 00:53:13.840
doctor's report from her, but literal real miracles are taking place out there, whānau.

1057
00:53:13.840 --> 00:53:16.640
It's not I that heals, it's Jesus.

1058
00:53:16.640 --> 00:53:18.720
On the count of three, I want you to lean into the presence of Jesus.

1059
00:53:18.720 --> 00:53:19.720
Are you ready?

1060
00:53:19.720 --> 00:53:23.000
On the count of three, lean forward into the presence of Jesus.

1061
00:53:23.000 --> 00:53:28.040
One, two, three.

1062
00:53:28.040 --> 00:53:29.040
Thank you, Jesus.

1063
00:53:29.040 --> 00:53:35.760
Silver in God, I have none, but what I have in the name of Jesus of Nazareth, I release.

1064
00:53:35.760 --> 00:53:36.760
Holy Spirit, I thank you.

1065
00:53:36.760 --> 00:53:39.600
I give you praise, Jesus.

1066
00:53:39.600 --> 00:53:43.640
Thank you, Jesus, for touching, for your healing presence going out.

1067
00:53:43.640 --> 00:53:46.720
Now, whānau, I want your hand to touch the screen.

1068
00:53:46.720 --> 00:53:49.320
As you touch the screen, something's going to feel like an electric shock going through

1069
00:53:49.320 --> 00:53:50.320
the screen.

1070
00:53:50.320 --> 00:53:51.320
There's a power of God right now.

1071
00:53:51.320 --> 00:53:52.320
Touch.

1072
00:53:52.320 --> 00:53:53.320
Touch.

1073
00:53:53.320 --> 00:53:54.320
Touch.

1074
00:53:54.320 --> 00:53:55.320
Thank you, Jesus.

1075
00:53:55.320 --> 00:53:56.320
Thank you, Jesus.

1076
00:53:56.320 --> 00:53:57.320
Thank you, Jesus.

1077
00:53:57.320 --> 00:53:58.320
Thank you, Jesus.

1078
00:53:58.320 --> 00:53:59.320
Touch.

1079
00:53:59.320 --> 00:54:00.800
Not by might, not by power, but by my spirit, says the Lord.

1080
00:54:00.800 --> 00:54:03.320
By my spirit, says the Lord.

1081
00:54:03.320 --> 00:54:09.220
Touching Lord, you said, I will lay hands on the sick and they shall recover.

1082
00:54:09.220 --> 00:54:14.060
Father, as I'm touching the screen, I touch it also.

1083
00:54:14.060 --> 00:54:25.460
And I thank you, Lord, that your hand is on my hand, your hand, the substance of your

1084
00:54:25.460 --> 00:54:29.860
presence is flowing through my hand into the hand of that brother and that sister right

1085
00:54:29.860 --> 00:54:30.860
now.

1086
00:54:30.860 --> 00:54:33.920
That's, Lord, better than 9,000 volts of electricity.

1087
00:54:33.920 --> 00:54:36.260
That is healing that's taking place right there.

1088
00:54:36.260 --> 00:54:38.540
That is power taking place right there.

1089
00:54:38.540 --> 00:54:41.360
Some of you, oh, be filled with the Holy Spirit.

1090
00:54:41.360 --> 00:54:42.900
Be filled with the Holy Spirit.

1091
00:54:42.900 --> 00:54:47.540
Be baptized in the name of, be baptized in the Holy Spirit, in the name of the Father,

1092
00:54:47.540 --> 00:54:52.140
the Son, and the Holy Spirit, in the name of Jesus, in the name of Jesus, in the name

1093
00:54:52.140 --> 00:54:53.140
of Jesus.

1094
00:54:53.140 --> 00:54:54.140
Thank you, Father.

1095
00:54:54.140 --> 00:54:55.140
Thank you, Father.

1096
00:54:55.140 --> 00:54:58.300
Rheumatoid Arthritis, you leave now.

1097
00:55:00.000 --> 00:55:06.560
Okay, fine, this is... So we put limitations on God, what He can and cannot do.

1098
00:55:06.560 --> 00:55:12.680
There's no... Jesus forgives every sin, right? There's no sin... There's only

1099
00:55:12.680 --> 00:55:15.760
one sin He won't forgive, that's blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. And most of you

1100
00:55:15.760 --> 00:55:18.920
don't even know what that is, so don't even worry about that. But He forgives

1101
00:55:18.920 --> 00:55:23.880
every sin. As far as Easter from the West, He removes every sin. There's no sin that

1102
00:55:23.880 --> 00:55:27.400
He cannot forgive. There's no sin that His blood cannot wash away. You believe

1103
00:55:27.400 --> 00:55:31.040
that, eh? You know that. And there's no sickness He cannot heal. There's no

1104
00:55:31.040 --> 00:55:34.800
disease. There's no sin greater than another that He can't wash away. And

1105
00:55:34.800 --> 00:55:37.920
there's no disease greater than another that He cannot heal. It's in the

1106
00:55:37.920 --> 00:55:43.120
limitations of our minds that we limit God. And He's not limited. He's

1107
00:55:43.120 --> 00:55:46.280
able to do exceedingly abundantly above all you ask or think. And so, okay, I'm

1108
00:55:46.280 --> 00:55:49.880
speaking right now, and I command schizophrenia to come out of you in the

1109
00:55:49.880 --> 00:55:54.360
name of Jesus. Christ's schizophrenia leaves. I command cancer to come out of

1110
00:55:54.520 --> 00:55:58.480
you in the name of Jesus. I command all trace of cancer to leave your body, all

1111
00:55:58.480 --> 00:56:03.320
trace of swelling to go down and leave your body in the name of Jesus. I command

1112
00:56:03.320 --> 00:56:07.640
that sugar diabetes to leave you. I command your need for dialysis

1113
00:56:07.640 --> 00:56:12.800
to leave you in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. I command your

1114
00:56:12.800 --> 00:56:16.080
bones to be healed, your back to be healed, and that you no longer have to

1115
00:56:16.080 --> 00:56:20.120
walk with crutches. You no longer have to walk with a walking stick in the name of

1116
00:56:20.120 --> 00:56:24.440
Jesus of Christ of Nazareth. I command that neck to be free, that back that

1117
00:56:24.440 --> 00:56:29.160
you've been bedridden all these years. Be healed in the name of Jesus. Be healed in

1118
00:56:29.160 --> 00:56:33.440
the name of Jesus. Now right now people I want you to do something you couldn't do

1119
00:56:33.440 --> 00:56:37.840
before. If it's your back and you couldn't move it, do something. Test

1120
00:56:37.840 --> 00:56:42.600
yourself and see what the Lord has done. Faith is an action. Let's move yourself

1121
00:56:42.600 --> 00:56:46.280
around. Thank you Jesus. Now I'm signing off now because the power of God

1122
00:56:46.280 --> 00:56:51.000
is still flowing while I'm offline. It doesn't mean the Holy Ghost is offline.

1123
00:56:51.000 --> 00:56:54.560
There's that fire of God just burning through there. So tomorrow whanau we'll

1124
00:56:54.560 --> 00:57:00.560
see you. Same time, same place. Do your homework. Consider the things I've spoken

1125
00:57:00.560 --> 00:57:06.920
about and pray for me please. Thank you Jesus.
