WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:10.120 Hey guys, welcome back, and it's so good to be back for session 4 of School in the Spirit. 2 00:00:10.120 --> 00:00:14.320 Thank you to those of you who are tuning in live, and also there's some of you who will 3 00:00:14.320 --> 00:00:18.320 be tuning in on the replay. 4 00:00:18.320 --> 00:00:22.640 And so whether you're live or on the replay, awesome to have you here. 5 00:00:22.640 --> 00:00:27.800 Love the interaction as well, so please feel free to drop comments, even if it's like a 6 00:00:27.800 --> 00:00:31.600 point that I make and you think, whoa, that was a good point, like you just want to give 7 00:00:31.600 --> 00:00:34.600 it a high five or something. 8 00:00:34.600 --> 00:00:38.120 I love that for two reasons. 9 00:00:38.120 --> 00:00:43.760 One is, I just, and the main reason is, it's quite hard to teach with no one in front of 10 00:00:43.760 --> 00:00:51.280 you, and it's quite nice to get some kind of crowd interaction of some sort. 11 00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:54.520 So I love that. 12 00:00:54.520 --> 00:00:57.760 It's just kind of encouraging for me, to be honest. 13 00:00:57.760 --> 00:01:03.720 And the other thing that's quite helpful is that the more comments you make, the more 14 00:01:03.720 --> 00:01:11.440 the Facebook algorithm picks up the live and shares it with more people. 15 00:01:11.440 --> 00:01:18.520 So I just think the more the merrier with this kind of stuff, and I want to bless as 16 00:01:18.520 --> 00:01:19.720 many people as possible. 17 00:01:19.720 --> 00:01:24.720 So again, feel free to share this. 18 00:01:24.720 --> 00:01:32.440 Jan, you totally can update me. 19 00:01:32.440 --> 00:01:37.600 If you can update me on the, by making a comment, then do that. 20 00:01:37.600 --> 00:01:43.720 Otherwise, you could update me, you could update me after this live. 21 00:01:43.720 --> 00:01:49.960 Oh, that's so cool. 22 00:01:49.960 --> 00:01:55.840 You prayed for Scarlet, colour came back in cheeks, ate lunch and is feeding lambs. 23 00:01:55.840 --> 00:01:58.960 Come on. 24 00:01:58.960 --> 00:02:00.240 That is awesome. 25 00:02:00.240 --> 00:02:01.240 Come

00:02:08.080 --> 00:02:09.080 That's worth celebrating. 31 00:02:09.080 --> 00:02:10.880 That is so rad. 32 00:02:10.880 --> 00:02:11.880 Thank you, Jesus. 33 00:02:12.400 --> 00:02:14.760 Well, all the glory goes to you. 34 00:02:14.760 --> 00:02:17.320 And that's a good point, actually, Jan. 35 00:02:17.320 --> 00:02:21.760 For those of you who did yesterday's teachings, if you didn't, you should go back and replay 36 00:02:21.760 --> 00:02:22.760 those. 37 00:02:22.760 --> 00:02:28.280 But for those of you who went through yesterday's teachings and you took on the challenge, the 38 00:02:28.280 --> 00:02:31.760 24-hour challenge, hey, feel free to drop those testimonies on. 39 00:02:31.760 --> 00:02:33.160 I want to hear some stories. 40 00:02:33.160 --> 00:02:34.720 So please

00:02:43.640 --> 00:02:44.640 from. 44 00:02:44.640 --> 00:02:48.320 Yeah, so cool. 45 00:02:48.320 --> 00:02:53.120 So awesome, awesome, awesome. 46 00:02:53.120 --> 00:02:59.400 Also just to reiterate, we've got this three-day school here right now, School of the Spirit. 47 00:02:59.440 --> 00:03:06.920 And this is going to be followed by a three-week activation in the Online School of Sonship. 48 00:03:06.920 --> 00:03:18.160 The link for the Online School of Sonship is actually on the last teaching, and I will 49 00:03:18.160 --> 00:03:26.080 also put it on the comments of this teaching once it has been uploaded to the Raising Royalty 50 00:03:26.080 --> 00:03:27.080 site. 51 00:03:27.080 --> 00:03:29.880 So you can get the link on the replay. 52 00:03:29.880 --> 00:03:31.360 So go for that. 53 00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:33.400 I won't say any more about that. 54 00:03:33.400 --> 00:03:37.560 We're in session four now, excited to be in session four. 55 00:03:37.560 --> 00:03:40.080 I've entitled session four, What to Do When You Pray. 56 00:03:40.080 --> 00:03:43.880 And I think that this is one of the key things when it comes to supernatural ministry, the 57 00:03:43.880 --> 00:03:49.320 ministry of the Spirit, is, okay, cool, yep, I've got some of those undergirding principles. 58 00:03:49.320 --> 00:03:50.920 I know I'm a child of God. 59 00:03:50.920 --> 00:03:52.560 I know God's happy with me. 60 00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:54.800 I know I can't fail. 61 00:03:54.800 --> 00:03:56.920 I know I'm a success just because I trust God. 62 00:03:56.920 --> 00:04:01.000 All those things that undergird really a healthy and thriving spiritual life with the 63 00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:07.920 Spirit and enable you to live a life that looks like Jesus. 64 00:04:07.920 --> 00:04:10.360 Love to have Queensland in the house. 65 00:04:10.360 --> 00:04:11.600 Come on. 66 00:04:11.600 --> 00:04:13.400 So good. 67 00:04:13.400 --> 00:04:17.320 This is really a more practical thing, and I want to kind of walk you through some of 68 00:04:17.320 --> 00:04:23.480 the process that I think is both biblical, I believe is a biblical process, but also 69 00:04:23.520 --> 00:04:30.480 is just some of the things that I practically do when I'm approaching a situation, particularly 70 00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:34.600 an impossible situation that requires the intervention of the Spirit of God and the 71 00:04:34.600 --> 00:04:41.600 power of God, where it's going to require more than just a kind word probably. 72 00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:44.680 It's going to require the actual ministry of the Spirit. 73 00:04:44.720 --> 00:04:53.720 Some of the internal things that I do in that situation to engage the flow of the Spirit 74 00:04:53.720 --> 00:04:55.800 into that situation. 75 00:04:55.800 --> 00:04:57.960 I'll explain a little bit more about that. 76 00:04:57.960 --> 00:05:00.040 But I want to begin with a story. 77 00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:08.320 and some of you may, I don't remember if I've shared this story or not, but it is 78 00:05:08.320 --> 00:05:11.280 one of my favorite stories. I've definitely shared it in a few places. So 79 00:05:11.280 --> 00:05:15.860 you may have heard the story, but again feel free to interact with the story. 80 00:05:15.860 --> 00:05:25.000 Feel free to just drop a high-five or a whoa or a hallelujah or whatever just to 81 00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:29.120 just to sort of celebrate the story with me. Remember I can't hear your voice so 82 00:05:29.120 --> 00:05:34.320 all I can see is your comments. So just drop that on there. By the way, as I'm 83 00:05:34.320 --> 00:05:37.880 sharing the story, if you know anyone that has a tumor or has cancer, then feel 84 00:05:37.880 --> 00:05:42.440 free to, if it's possible, tag them in the post, especially if they're part of this 85 00:05:42.440 --> 00:05:50.040 group, because this would be very cool for them to hear. So I was in Indonesia 86 00:05:50.040 --> 00:06:01.000 and a certain place in Indonesia and the Herald app is giving me 87 00:06:01.000 --> 00:06:08.520 notifications as I'm teaching. That thing is very distracting. Yeah, so I was in 88 00:06:08.520 --> 00:06:15.720 Indonesia and man, I love Indonesia. If anyone's been into Indonesia, just give 89 00:06:15.720 --> 00:06:20.960 me a wave on the comments. Indonesia is one of my absolute favorite countries. I 90 00:06:20.960 --> 00:06:28.640 love so many things about Indonesia. I love the food. I love the temperature. I 91 00:06:28.640 --> 00:06:37.680 love the surf. I love the environment. I love the the sheer mass of people that 92 00:06:37.680 --> 00:06:43.500 live there and I particularly love the people. I love the people. I love 93 00:06:43.500 --> 00:06:48.460 Indonesians. They are just such amazing cool people and if you are 94 00:06:48.460 --> 00:06:52.260 tuned in from Indonesia or you're watching the replay from Indonesia, you 95 00:06:52.260 --> 00:07:00.580 just need to know this. I thoroughly miss you guys and I really cannot wait to 96 00:07:00.580 --> 00:07:04.940 be able to get back to you. It's just one of my favorite places on earth. But I was 97 00:07:04.940 --> 00:07:09.180 in Indonesia and I was speaking at, you know, a pretty decent-sized church. It was 98 00:07:09.180 --> 00:07:16.700 probably about a thousand people in the service and we just got to the end 99 00:07:16.700 --> 00:07:19.780 of the service and we're praying for people for miracles and some miracles 100 00:07:19.780 --> 00:07:24.340 had started to to break out and people started to be healed and there wasn't 101 00:07:24.340 --> 00:07:27.700 really a way because there were so many people that were receiving prayer. There 102 00:07:27.700 --> 00:07:34.180 wasn't like a way to be able to sort of necessarily easily determine who was 103 00:07:34.180 --> 00:07:37.980 being healed of what. But lots of people have been healed and the 104 00:07:37.980 --> 00:07:41.580 Holy Spirit was moving and there were people all over the floor and it was 105 00:07:41.580 --> 00:07:51.780 just awesome, awesome time. And so I got to the end of that. I'd probably 106 00:07:51.780 --> 00:07:57.420 personally laid hands on, I don't know, hundreds of people and I was at 107 00:07:57.420 --> 00:08:01.140 this point where it was at the end of like a week to two week long trip in 108 00:08:01.140 --> 00:08:04.660 Indonesia. It was one of the last minutes of the whole trip. I was involved in 109 00:08:04.660 --> 00:08:12.460 leading the team with another friend of mine and the schedule was so heavy that 110 00:08:12.460 --> 00:08:17.420 I was like, you know, to be honest sometimes the Spirit is willing but the 111 00:08:17.420 --> 00:08:21.100 flesh is weak and I was just feeling the weakness of my flesh, you know. My 112 00:08:21.100 --> 00:08:25.700 spirit was dragging my flesh around begrudgingly like, I've got to go to 113 00:08:25.700 --> 00:08:29.380 another meeting and my spirit was all excited but my eyes wanted to fall 114 00:08:29.380 --> 00:08:34.740 asleep. And I got to the end of praying for these hundreds of people. Would have 115 00:08:34.740 --> 00:08:40.419 been probably over a hundred, I think it would have been hundreds. And I do 116 00:08:40.419 --> 00:08:46.460 this trick sometimes in a moment like that where I, and I know this is wrong, so 117 00:08:46.460 --> 00:08:54.460 don't rebuke me for this. I've already self-rebuked myself. But I 118 00:08:54.620 --> 00:09:00.580 pretend that someone's on the phone and I just, hello, hello. And I sort of, I sort 119 00:09:00.580 --> 00:09:04.300 of walk out of the room because people don't normally like to interrupt you 120 00:09:04.300 --> 00:09:07.700 when you're on the phone. So hello, yes, oh good, good, yes. And I just keep walking 121 00:09:07.700 --> 00:09:11.420 and even though people are trying to get your attention, you just keep on walking 122 00:09:11.420 --> 00:09:15.620 until you are through the mass of people and you're gone. And all that draw and all 123 00:09:15.620 --> 00:09:19.300 those people wanting to pray for you are back in the room and you've done the 124 00:09:19.300 --> 00:09:29.580 Houdini and disappeared. And I was doing that. Don't do this at home. 100%. That 125 00:09:29.580 --> 00:09:33.660 doesn't work at home. 100% does not work at home. It only works in a large 126 00:09:33.660 --> 00:09:37.700 meeting like that where people don't fully know you that well. My wife sees 127 00:09:37.700 --> 00:09:46.460 right through it. Not that I would ever dare to do that to my wife. So I was, I 128 00:09:46.540 --> 00:09:51.860 was doing that and these two leaders, friends of mine, they, they, they walked 129 00:09:51.860 --> 00:09:56.380 up and they had someone with them with a head covering on. They looked like they 130 00:09:56.380 --> 00:09:59.940 were from a religion that wasn't the Christian religion. You can kind of guess 131 00:09:59.940 --> 00:10:02.140 where they were from. 132 00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:02.340 what that religion might have been. 133 00:10:02.340 --> 00:10:04.160 And I love people from all religions. 134 00:10:04.160 --> 00:10:05.660 That's just awesome. 135 00:10:05.660 --> 00:10:10.320 And they said, listen, and they stopped me. 136 00:10:10.320 --> 00:10:11.800 They obviously didn't have any respect 137 00:10:11.800 --> 00:10:13.000 for the fact that I was on the phone. 138 00:10:13.000 --> 00:10:16.240 And they said, this is a person, they work for me. 139 00:10:16.240 --> 00:10:17.080 She works for me. 140 00:10:17.080 --> 00:10:21.140 And this is their first time ever in church. 141 00:10:21.140 --> 00:10:24.660 They are from this other religion. 142 00:10:25.880 --> 00:10:27.200 We've asked her to come today. 143 00:10:27.200 --> 00:10:29.080 She's got, she's 21 years old. 144 00:10:29.160 --> 00:10:31.400 No, she might've been, 145 00:10:31.400 --> 00:10:34.080 well, I actually don't know how old she was. 146 00:10:34.080 --> 00:10:36.960 But what I do know is she was 21 or older 147 00:10:36.960 --> 00:10:40.760 and she'd had these tumors in her throat for 21 years. 148 00:10:40.760 --> 00:10:41.960 And they were massive. 149 00:10:41.960 --> 00:10:44.360 And to the point where they were restricting her breathing, 150 00:10:44.360 --> 00:10:46.680 she'd had to have a hole cut in her neck 151 00:10:46.680 --> 00:10:47.840 so she could breathe properly. 152 00:10:47.840 --> 00:10:49.640 She was in a lot of pain. 153 00:10:49.640 --> 00:10:52.240 I'm talking like a great, 154 00:10:52.240 --> 00:10:56.080 like, you know, you could obviously see the tumors. 155 00:10:56.080 --> 00:10:57.480 She had them hidden under a scarf, 156 00:10:57.480 --> 00:11:01.040 but they were a mass of tumors. 157 00:11:02.920 --> 00:11:06.120 And I remember feeling like, oh my gosh, I just, 158 00:11:07.720 --> 00:11:09.520 I have faith for a headache right now, 159 00:11:09.520 --> 00:11:12.960 but for 21 years of tumors and massive pain, 160 00:11:12.960 --> 00:11:14.560 I just don't have faith for that right now. 161 00:11:14.560 --> 00:11:18.860 But confronted with the impossible, 162 00:11:18.860 --> 00:11:21.200 realizing very much so 163 00:11:21.200 --> 00:11:23.320 that I didn't have the strength for this 164 00:11:23.320 --> 00:11:25.600 and I didn't have the faith for this, 165 00:11:25.600 --> 00:11:29.120 but I chose in that moment to trust and believe 166 00:11:29.120 --> 00:11:30.920 that God has faith for this 167 00:11:30.920 --> 00:11:32.760 when I don't have faith for this. 168 00:11:32.760 --> 00:11:35.520 God has strength for this when I don't have strength for this 169 00:11:35.520 --> 00:11:37.560 and God can do what I can't do. 170 00:11:37.560 --> 00:11:40.080 And so my simple stance was this. 171 00:11:40.080 --> 00:11:41.880 I'm a little boy with a big papa 172 00:11:41.880 --> 00:11:43.600 and sometimes a little boy doesn't know what to do, 173 00:11:43.600 --> 00:11:44.960 but the big papa does. 174 00:11:44.960 --> 00:11:46.880 And so I just leaned back into my big papa. 175 00:11:46.880 --> 00:11:48.920 I just leaned back into the bigness of God. 176 00:11:48.920 --> 00:11:50.520 I leaned back into the warmth of God 177 00:11:50.520 --> 00:11:54.800 and I trust that he can do what I can't do 178 00:11:54.800 --> 00:11:56.400 if I give him the opportunity 179 00:11:56.400 --> 00:11:58.000 in the moment and the situation. 180 00:12:01.120 --> 00:12:03.640 And it's amazing to me that God sometimes waits for us 181 00:12:03.640 --> 00:12:04.480 to give him the opportunity. 182 00:12:04.480 --> 00:12:05.400 He doesn't need to do that, 183 00:12:05.400 --> 00:12:06.560 but it seems that he does 184 00:12:06.560 --> 00:12:08.880 and it's just an interesting fact. 185 00:12:08.880 --> 00:12:11.600 He loves to co-labor with his children. 186 00:12:11.600 --> 00:12:14.760 And so I remember just praying 187 00:12:14.760 --> 00:12:17.120 and I sort of didn't even have much energy 188 00:12:17.120 --> 00:12:18.720 to pull together a prayer, 189 00:12:18.720 --> 00:12:20.660 but I just, in my heart, 190 00:12:20.660 --> 00:12:23.480 I'm gonna share a little bit about what I did in a moment, 191 00:12:23.480 --> 00:12:25.360 but I dropped down into the Spirit. 192 00:12:25.360 --> 00:12:30.000 I'll describe and I'll explain what that means in a moment. 193 00:12:30.000 --> 00:12:30.920 Dropped down into the Spirit 194 00:12:30.920 --> 00:12:32.760 and dropped down into an acknowledgement 195 00:12:32.760 --> 00:12:35.680 that my father was with me by the Spirit, 196 00:12:35.680 --> 00:12:37.600 by the Holy Spirit. 197 00:12:37.600 --> 00:12:42.120 And trusted in the Spirit in that moment. 198 00:12:42.120 --> 00:12:46.840 And I prayed a simple prayer and she started to cry. 199 00:12:48.480 --> 00:12:50.040 She opened her eyes and she said, 200 00:12:50.120 --> 00:12:53.000 wow, I think I'm like a small, 201 00:12:53.000 --> 00:12:55.080 I think it's a tiny bit better. 202 00:12:55.080 --> 00:12:56.640 And I mean, the tumour's all still there, 203 00:12:56.640 --> 00:12:57.480 everything's still there. 204 00:12:57.480 --> 00:12:59.840 I mean, she was crying with thankfulness 205 00:12:59.840 --> 00:13:00.920 because she was a little bit better. 206 00:13:00.920 --> 00:13:05.920 I mean, there was not a shred of entitlement in this girl. 207 00:13:07.240 --> 00:13:12.240 She was so thankful that God had maybe healed her 1%, 208 00:13:13.840 --> 00:13:15.120 which really spoke to me 209 00:13:15.120 --> 00:13:16.760 and that's another session for another time. 210 00:13:16.760 --> 00:13:20.000 But thankfulness and gratitude is such a massive key 211 00:13:20.000 --> 00:13:21.400 for increasing the Kingdom. 212 00:13:22.400 --> 00:13:24.040 And it really sparked my attention. 213 00:13:24.040 --> 00:13:25.200 So I said, we're gonna pray again. 214 00:13:25.200 --> 00:13:27.520 It started to lift my faith, actually. 215 00:13:27.520 --> 00:13:30.520 We prayed again and I dropped down to the Spirit again, 216 00:13:30.520 --> 00:13:32.840 ministered the Spirit and just prayed a simple prayer, 217 00:13:32.840 --> 00:13:35.920 asked the Father to heal us for a creative miracle 218 00:13:35.920 --> 00:13:39.120 and I released the power of God onto her. 219 00:13:39.120 --> 00:13:43.280 And I had my hands kind of on either side of her, 220 00:13:43.280 --> 00:13:45.240 just, she was standing in the middle 221 00:13:45.240 --> 00:13:47.120 and I had my hands like this. 222 00:13:47.120 --> 00:13:48.320 I don't know why, that's just how, 223 00:13:48.320 --> 00:13:49.560 that's not a how to pray, 224 00:13:49.960 --> 00:13:51.160 that's just what I was doing. 225 00:13:51.160 --> 00:13:56.160 And prayed and she started to shake, not a little bit. 226 00:13:56.360 --> 00:13:58.120 She started to be like thrown 227 00:13:58.120 --> 00:13:59.400 from one of my hands to the other, 228 00:13:59.400 --> 00:14:02.080 like do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do. 229 00:14:02.080 --> 00:14:05.080 And then she started to bawl her eyes out 230 00:14:05.080 --> 00:14:07.280 and I'm talking like bawling her eyes out 231 00:14:07.280 --> 00:14:09.360 to the point that, you know, 232 00:14:09.360 --> 00:14:11.080 she had a snot bomby knocker 233 00:14:11.080 --> 00:14:12.280 hanging out of one of her nostrils, 234 00:14:12.280 --> 00:14:13.400 swinging back and forth 235 00:14:13.400 --> 00:14:16.560 and I was just dodging it for dear life. 236 00:14:16.640 --> 00:14:21.640 And it was an incredible and wow moment. 237 00:14:23.000 --> 00:14:24.240 I didn't want to move, 238 00:14:24.240 --> 00:14:25.080 I didn't want to move my arms 239 00:14:25.080 --> 00:14:26.800 because I didn't want her to fall over and hurt herself. 240 00:14:26.800 --> 00:14:31.160 So I stayed there and she, after a few minutes, 241 00:14:31.160 --> 00:14:33.320 she sort of opened her eyes and came to 242 00:14:33.320 --> 00:14:34.640 and she said to me, 243 00:14:36.240 --> 00:14:39.160 when you prayed, I felt a hand 244 00:14:39.160 --> 00:14:42.400 that was not your hand reach underneath my, 245 00:14:42.400 --> 00:14:45.080 reach through my skin of my neck 246 00:14:45.080 --> 00:14:46.560 and rip the tumours out 247 00:14:46.560 --> 00:14:47.560 and there's no more tumours. 248 00:14:47.560 --> 00:14:49.480 She took her scarf away, no more tumours. 249 00:14:49.480 --> 00:14:51.320 They completely disappeared 250 00:14:51.320 --> 00:14:52.720 and all the pain was gone. 251 00:14:52.720 --> 00:14:55.200 The hand of God, as I prayed, 252 00:14:55.200 --> 00:14:57.280 the hand of the Spirit, 253 00:14:57.280 --> 00:14:58.760 as I had released the Spirit, 254 00:14:58.760 --> 00:14:59.800 the hand of the Spirit, 255 00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:06.800 of God had come into behind her skin, that spirit hand had reached in behind the flesh of her skin 256 00:15:06.800 --> 00:15:14.160 and literally dissolved and ripped the tumors out of her neck and she was completely healed. 257 00:15:15.440 --> 00:15:19.840 The longer story is even way cooler than this and I won't have time to share it right now but 258 00:15:22.320 --> 00:15:28.400 she got radically born again like in the most unreal cool way. She had like a three-day 259 00:15:28.400 --> 00:15:34.080 encounter with Jesus after that and just I'm like getting goosebumps. I'm feeling the spirit 260 00:15:34.080 --> 00:15:39.360 right now. It was absolutely awesome to the point that she changed her name 261 00:15:41.120 --> 00:15:46.400 because she's so identified with the newness of who God had made her to be 262 00:15:47.680 --> 00:15:51.840 that she just discovered in Jesus and that relates to the last session we did yesterday. 263 00:15:52.480 --> 00:15:58.160 Just an incredible time. I want to kind of take you through some of the inner 264 00:15:59.600 --> 00:16:05.760 process that I went through in that moment and that I go through in just about every single 265 00:16:05.760 --> 00:16:12.320 moment that's anything like that. Even praying before in the last session at the end of the 266 00:16:12.320 --> 00:16:20.080 last session. I want in any moment that there's ministry of the Spirit, I want to sort of take 267 00:16:20.080 --> 00:16:25.680 you through some of the process that goes on inside my heart. Now just a little preface is 268 00:16:25.680 --> 00:16:32.240 this is that I'm not claiming that this is the only way to minister the Spirit or to 269 00:16:32.800 --> 00:16:37.680 stance your heart or position your heart or your internal world when it comes to ministering the 270 00:16:37.680 --> 00:16:44.160 Spirit. I'm just wanting to let you know what I have observed and seen and learned from the Holy 271 00:16:44.160 --> 00:16:50.000 Spirit and through Scripture and some of the things that have worked for me. Knowing that 272 00:16:50.000 --> 00:16:56.000 these have worked for many other people and they may work for you too. This is not the exclusive 273 00:16:56.000 --> 00:17:04.000 only way to do this but it is something that I can teach you because it is something that I 274 00:17:04.000 --> 00:17:11.359 have lived and so I'm going to teach you this and if it helps you then God bless you. I really 275 00:17:11.359 --> 00:17:18.800 want to begin with 2 Corinthians 3. So we can just turn there. You can turn with me 2 Corinthians 3. 276 00:17:22.640 --> 00:17:30.560 I love Corinthians. 2 Corinthians chapter 3 and verse 6 and I'm wanting you to turn there 277 00:17:30.560 --> 00:17:35.600 because you should probably mark this in your Bible. It is a very, very, very cool Scripture. 278 00:17:36.400 --> 00:17:44.320 And actually we'll start with in verse 3. 3 verse 3. 2 Corinthians 3 verse 3. It says this. 279 00:17:44.320 --> 00:17:49.920 Clearly you are an epistle of Christ ministered by us written not with ink but by the Spirit of 280 00:17:49.920 --> 00:17:55.920 the living God not on tablets of stone but on tablets of flesh that is of the heart. 281 00:17:56.640 --> 00:18:04.400 And we have such trust through Christ toward God. Oh just bringing that back to the last 282 00:18:04.400 --> 00:18:11.360 session I taught on trust. We have such trust through Christ toward God. Why don't I mean oh 283 00:18:11.360 --> 00:18:16.240 man I'm going to shoot that rabbit because there's a massive rabbit trail on that 284 00:18:16.240 --> 00:18:24.080 Scripture right there. In verse 5. Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think of anything 285 00:18:24.960 --> 00:18:37.120 as being from ourselves but our sufficiency is from God who also made us sufficient sufficient 286 00:18:38.080 --> 00:18:44.160 as ministers of the new covenant not of the letter but of the Spirit for the letter kills 287 00:18:44.160 --> 00:18:55.120 but the Spirit gives life. God has made you sufficient able competent competent as a minister 288 00:18:55.120 --> 00:19:02.560 or an administrator or a distributor of the Spirit not of the letter not of the this is the right and 289 00:19:02.560 --> 00:19:05.760 this is the wrong this is what you should do this is what you shouldn't do not of that. 290 00:19:06.640 --> 00:19:10.160 I mean of course there's a time and a place for saying hey this is the right way to go 291 00:19:10.160 --> 00:19:18.160 but God has made you God has specifically graced you enabled you made you a competent 292 00:19:18.960 --> 00:19:24.880 you didn't make yourself competent he has made you competent he has given you what you need to 293 00:19:24.880 --> 00:19:32.800 be fully competent and able to minister the Spirit that does what that gives life in other words 294 00:19:32.800 --> 00:19:37.120 every time everywhere you see death whether it's a tumor whether it's an actual dead body whether 295 00:19:37.120 --> 00:19:43.600 it's this thing that thing or the other thing where you see the ministry of death working you 296 00:19:43.600 --> 00:19:49.280 have the opposite spirit the Spirit of life the Holy Spirit of God and you have been given 297 00:19:49.280 --> 00:19:56.080 competency ability and permission the stewardship you have been entrusted 298 00:19:56.080 --> 00:19:59.680 with the stewardship of the Spirit on the planet this is 299 00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:07.040 Huge. And there's a few things that I want to say about that. Oh, just quickly, Janice, 300 00:20:07.040 --> 00:20:11.600 you are asking which version. I'm reading from the New King James Version. To be honest, 301 00:20:11.600 --> 00:20:16.320 it's not necessarily my favorite version, but it's just been my version for so long that I, 302 00:20:18.480 --> 00:20:23.920 and I, I really, I love, I do love the version. My favorite version probably, 303 00:20:23.920 --> 00:20:29.040 which I would suggest, is the NASB. That's probably my favorite version, 304 00:20:29.040 --> 00:20:34.880 in terms of like a study Bible. I love the Passion Translation and all that just for 305 00:20:34.880 --> 00:20:39.280 plain reading, but as far as study, I think that the NASB is quite a cool version. 306 00:20:40.160 --> 00:20:47.840 New King James Version is okay too. That's just my opinion there. You might like another version. 307 00:20:47.840 --> 00:20:56.880 That's cool. So just a few things on being made by God as a competent minister of the Spirit. 308 00:20:57.840 --> 00:21:04.400 There's just some, some layers of foundation I just want to lay before I let you know, 309 00:21:04.400 --> 00:21:11.840 kind of my internal personal process, is God has made us in a real amazing way. 310 00:21:13.520 --> 00:21:21.520 He's made us with capacities and the capacity to function in different spheres of life. He's 311 00:21:21.600 --> 00:21:31.920 given us the capacity to function physically. We have physical skills, physical capacities. 312 00:21:31.920 --> 00:21:39.520 For example, if I want to build a box or I want to build a wall, I have the capacity to take my 313 00:21:39.520 --> 00:21:45.600 hand, to grip a hammer, to grab a nail, and as long as I've been taught how to use these things 314 00:21:45.600 --> 00:21:50.560 and I've learned the way of using them, I actually have the natural ability, the natural capacity, 315 00:21:51.120 --> 00:21:59.120 the natural competency to bang the nail into the wood with my physical body. 316 00:22:00.320 --> 00:22:06.880 Now, I'm not going to use my spirit to bang the nail into the wood, because my spirit can't do 317 00:22:06.880 --> 00:22:14.080 that. And if I try and use my, so to do that I need, I'm just about to jump ahead of myself, 318 00:22:14.080 --> 00:22:21.040 but to do that, I need to use the part of my being that God has designed for that particular 319 00:22:21.040 --> 00:22:28.240 use. And there are many different things that we have been designed and given the functionality to 320 00:22:28.240 --> 00:22:35.920 do in terms of our physical bodies and our physical capacities. Also, we've been given 321 00:22:35.920 --> 00:22:41.840 intellectual strength, the intellectual abilities, the ability to think, the ability to make decisions, 322 00:22:41.920 --> 00:22:46.480 the ability to rationalize, the ability to do these things. And there are different tasks and 323 00:22:46.480 --> 00:22:53.360 challenges that we're confronted with in life, whether it's adding up the amount of groceries 324 00:22:53.360 --> 00:22:57.680 we need to buy and weighing that up against how much money's in our bank account, or making the 325 00:22:57.680 --> 00:23:04.000 decision between what we're going to do on Saturday, or blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. 326 00:23:04.000 --> 00:23:07.680 There's all these different things that we can do that God's given us the capacity with our 327 00:23:07.680 --> 00:23:15.760 intellectual functions to be able to perform these different tasks intellectually, physically, 328 00:23:15.760 --> 00:23:20.720 intellectually. And the other one that many people don't really realize is that you have been given 329 00:23:20.720 --> 00:23:27.840 functionality in the spirit. You are created body, soul, and spirit. And your spirit has the capacity 330 00:23:27.840 --> 00:23:33.600 innate from God, created by God, to be able to do spirit things. Your body does body things. 331 00:23:34.240 --> 00:23:39.760 Your mind and your soul do soul-mind things. And your spirit has been given the capacity to do 332 00:23:39.760 --> 00:23:46.480 spirit things. Now, if you're going to need to hammer a nail into a wall, you don't drop down 333 00:23:46.480 --> 00:23:51.680 into the spirit and use your spirit to try and bang the nail into the wall, because the spirit is 334 00:23:51.680 --> 00:23:57.200 not designed to bang the physical nail into the wall. Your body is designed for that. But if you're 335 00:23:57.200 --> 00:24:01.680 confronted with a tumor that needs to disappear, or you're confronted with a prayer need, or you're 336 00:24:01.680 --> 00:24:08.160 confronted with a spiritual atmosphere that needs to shift, or another spiritual function or task 337 00:24:08.160 --> 00:24:13.120 that needs to be completed, then the same way as you don't use your spirit to bang the nail in, 338 00:24:13.120 --> 00:24:19.920 you don't use your hand or your physical being to try and perform a spiritual task. And you don't 339 00:24:19.920 --> 00:24:24.800 use your mind to do that either. You use your spirit for that. And you engage in your spirit. 340 00:24:25.520 --> 00:24:29.840 The Bible says, out of your innermost being flows rivers of living water. And out of that place, 341 00:24:30.720 --> 00:24:34.160 I've heard people say things like, it's like behind your belly button. And it kind of makes 342 00:24:34.160 --> 00:24:40.640 sense. It is in this deep place. The center of your being is like this spirit reservoir. That's 343 00:24:43.200 --> 00:24:49.120 a spring of life that God puts in you, that springs out from you. And the Spirit of God flows 344 00:24:49.120 --> 00:24:53.600 from that place in your own spirit. You have been made one with Him. And there's a lot to be said 345 00:24:53.600 --> 00:24:59.280 about that. I'm not going to even get into the half of it in this teaching. But there's this 346 00:24:59.280 --> 00:24:59.840 place in you. 347 00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:04.480 can drop down into and you can engage with and you can acknowledge and you can cooperate with 348 00:25:04.480 --> 00:25:11.280 where the Spirit flows from and out of that place you have been given the capacity from God 349 00:25:12.080 --> 00:25:15.760 to be a competent minister of the Spirit to give life. 350 00:25:20.640 --> 00:25:27.040 Now I realize that that may have gone over some people's heads. That may be very simple to others 351 00:25:27.040 --> 00:25:30.800 of you. If you have any questions around that, feel free to drop questions as I'm teaching. 352 00:25:33.680 --> 00:25:38.960 And I do realize that there are probably many sessions that could come from this session 353 00:25:39.600 --> 00:25:44.160 to explain different portions of what I'm talking about. I'm kind of giving you the 354 00:25:44.160 --> 00:25:48.160 snapshot overview right now and getting to the point where I'm going to share with you 355 00:25:48.720 --> 00:25:50.400 actually practically what I do. 356 00:25:54.240 --> 00:25:59.200 To minister the Spirit, one of my mentors, a person that's been a hero of mine 357 00:26:00.720 --> 00:26:07.040 by the name of Clark Taylor, he taught me, he said, before praying for anyone 358 00:26:08.880 --> 00:26:13.120 sometimes you can find yourself trying, sometimes you can find yourself striving in your mind 359 00:26:13.120 --> 00:26:17.840 or even in your body, striving to get something to happen or to get a result in prayer as you're 360 00:26:17.840 --> 00:26:23.200 praying for someone. As soon as you find yourself striving, you've got to just immediately stop. 361 00:26:24.560 --> 00:26:30.320 Just stop. And this is a key for every person listening. It's been a massive key for me. Stop. 362 00:26:32.400 --> 00:26:37.040 Take a breath. I'll explain in a second why it's so important to take a breath. For me, 363 00:26:38.560 --> 00:26:46.240 take a breath and drop from your mind, from trying to work it out up here, drop down into 364 00:26:46.240 --> 00:26:50.640 your Spirit. I know I'm not giving you like a theological answer here, but that's 365 00:26:50.640 --> 00:26:56.800 what it feels like to me. It's like stop and drop. Just drop down into the space that 366 00:26:56.800 --> 00:27:02.240 is your inmost being. Drop into that space and just drop in. And what that simply is really 367 00:27:02.240 --> 00:27:06.800 is an acknowledgement that there's a flow of the Spirit that's flowing from within you. 368 00:27:08.560 --> 00:27:13.280 And you have been given the authority and the capacity to direct that flow. 369 00:27:14.240 --> 00:27:19.840 Obviously, in collaboration with the leadership of the Holy Spirit as He leads you, in what 370 00:27:19.840 --> 00:27:29.120 direction to face that flow. And this is the stop and drop technique. When I say stop and drop, 371 00:27:29.840 --> 00:27:35.680 it's, you know, this whole teaching that I'm sharing right now is behind that statement, 372 00:27:35.680 --> 00:27:41.760 stop and drop. Just stop and drop into the Spirit. It's such a key to ministering the Spirit. 373 00:27:42.560 --> 00:27:47.200 Otherwise, you can so easily find yourself ministering out of intellect or out of your flesh 374 00:27:47.200 --> 00:27:53.120 rather than out of the Spirit. Jesus actually taught this in the Lord's Prayer. And I'm 375 00:27:53.120 --> 00:27:55.920 just going to share the first part of the Lord's Prayer. But He taught this in the 376 00:27:55.920 --> 00:28:00.080 Lord's Prayer. And the Lord's Prayer is kind of, if you look at the whole thing, it's actually, 377 00:28:03.440 --> 00:28:07.840 it's been a practice of the church throughout church history to actually recite and to 378 00:28:08.720 --> 00:28:12.640 both recite the Lord's Prayer and to use the Lord's Prayer as a prayer structure, 379 00:28:13.280 --> 00:28:19.600 structuring all types of different prayer and meditation, Christian biblical meditation. 380 00:28:22.560 --> 00:28:29.520 And I think in a nutshell, the Lord's Prayer really is like a pattern that Jesus gives 381 00:28:30.480 --> 00:28:37.360 on how to pray. How to pray and not just how to pray, but how to approach prayer, 382 00:28:37.360 --> 00:28:40.960 how to approach God in prayer, and how to approach situations that need prayer. 383 00:28:43.200 --> 00:28:48.480 And it's a really powerful thing. And He begins with this. He really begins, I call it stop and 384 00:28:48.480 --> 00:28:54.240 drop, but He calls it this. When you pray, say this, our Father who is in heaven, hallowed be 385 00:28:54.240 --> 00:28:58.720 your name. That's Jesus' way of saying stop and drop. And this is what that literally means. 386 00:28:58.960 --> 00:29:06.240 Our Father who is in heaven, hallowed be your name. But now, that's the first part of the 387 00:29:06.240 --> 00:29:09.440 prayer. And it's the first part of the prayer because it's got to come first. 388 00:29:10.480 --> 00:29:15.520 That is before your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. We forgive, 389 00:29:16.720 --> 00:29:21.760 all that stuff. Before the task, before the assignment, before the what are we doing now, 390 00:29:21.760 --> 00:29:28.240 God, there must be initially this moment of acknowledgement and a stopping and dropping 391 00:29:28.240 --> 00:29:34.240 into the truth of God that lives within you. And what that literally means, our Father was in 392 00:29:34.240 --> 00:29:39.520 heaven. Our Father, first of all, Jesus is saying, He's our Father. He's not just my Father. He's not 393 00:29:39.520 --> 00:29:44.880 just your Father. He's our Father. In other words, I'm a son. I'm His child the same way 394 00:29:45.520 --> 00:29:50.800 as you're His child. In other words, you look at my life, you look at the way I relate to the Father, 395 00:29:50.800 --> 00:29:56.400 that's the way that you've been invited to relate to the Father. You are allowed to have, 396 00:29:56.400 --> 00:29:59.920 and you're invited to have, and you're designed to have the same kind of relationship with God. 397 00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:04.880 that I do. We have the same father. We're on the same playing field. We're on the same team. 398 00:30:06.560 --> 00:30:14.320 We're in the same jersey. And that's a profound thing to actually transition 399 00:30:15.920 --> 00:30:22.240 your perspective of God in terms of a relationship with Him from just simply being your master, 400 00:30:22.240 --> 00:30:26.000 or just simply being your Lord, or just simply being your God, to first and foremost being 401 00:30:26.000 --> 00:30:31.280 your father, being your dad, and you're His child. That's very, very powerful. That's the 402 00:30:31.280 --> 00:30:39.280 first acknowledgement. I'm a little boy, a growing, maturing, but still little boy with a big father. 403 00:30:41.200 --> 00:30:45.200 I don't need to be the big father. I don't need to be good at God's job. God is already 404 00:30:45.200 --> 00:30:49.360 good at His job. I just need to be good at being a little boy holding the hand of my 405 00:30:49.360 --> 00:30:52.640 father. I just need to be real good at acknowledging and knowing that God's with 406 00:30:52.720 --> 00:30:56.400 me everywhere I go. When I step on the field, when I step in the ring, when I step in the 407 00:30:56.400 --> 00:31:01.360 supermarket, when I step on the bus, when I step into whatever context I'm about to step into, 408 00:31:01.360 --> 00:31:06.240 my father steps in with me because He will never leave me and He will never forsake me. God is 409 00:31:06.240 --> 00:31:12.400 with me. Our father who is in heaven, that word heaven should have an s on the end of it. It's 410 00:31:12.400 --> 00:31:16.800 actually the Greek word, and forgive me right now, I can't remember the exact word, but it's the word 411 00:31:16.800 --> 00:31:23.440 that is the plural for heaven, and it literally means heavens. It means not just a third heaven, 412 00:31:23.440 --> 00:31:28.800 not just space, but the air that's around us. And the emphasis actually in the context is on 413 00:31:28.800 --> 00:31:35.600 the air that's around us. It could simply be translated like this. Our father who is in, 414 00:31:36.320 --> 00:31:43.360 who is in the very air that we breathe, hallowed be your name. And hallowed be your name could 415 00:31:43.360 --> 00:31:53.600 be translated this. We stop and we acknowledge you and make space inside our hearts to honor 416 00:31:53.600 --> 00:31:59.200 your presence. Make space inside our hearts to honor your presence. It's Jesus's way of saying 417 00:31:59.200 --> 00:32:06.240 stop and drop. Stop and drop out of trying to analyze the situation, out of trying to rationalize 418 00:32:06.240 --> 00:32:10.640 the situation, out of trying to change the situation in your own strength, and into the flow 419 00:32:10.640 --> 00:32:17.120 of the Spirit that comes directly from the reservoir of God. This is a good reservoir to 420 00:32:17.120 --> 00:32:22.080 be connected to. This is a good source to be connected to, the source of the Spirit. 421 00:32:23.360 --> 00:32:31.840 And it looks like this. I'll just give the example of the tumor situation. There's a 422 00:32:31.840 --> 00:32:39.760 lady with a tumor in front of me. I stop. Father, I acknowledge that you love me, that you never 423 00:32:39.760 --> 00:32:44.080 leave me nor forsake me. And sometimes I'm not good at holding on to your hand, but it doesn't 424 00:32:44.080 --> 00:32:48.960 matter because when my strength fails to hold your hand, your hand's strength never fails to hold mine. 425 00:32:50.000 --> 00:32:53.600 Your strength to hold on to me is far greater than my strength to hold on to you. And I know 426 00:32:53.600 --> 00:33:00.640 you're holding on to me now, Father. I acknowledge your love for me and I make internal space to 427 00:33:00.640 --> 00:33:04.880 honor your presence around me right now. You're in the very air that I'm breathing. 428 00:33:05.760 --> 00:33:13.200 Take a breath and drop down into the Spirit. And drop down into the Spirit, into the truth 429 00:33:14.640 --> 00:33:23.200 that I am one with God, into the truth that I have been made one. I have been fused together 430 00:33:23.200 --> 00:33:29.040 by the Spirit into the person of God as a sharer of the inheritance of Jesus. 431 00:33:30.000 --> 00:33:39.600 This is good. And I drop into that place. And in that place, the further I drop into that place, 432 00:33:39.600 --> 00:33:45.120 the less striving there is. The further I drop into that place, the less of my strength is 433 00:33:45.120 --> 00:33:51.600 required. The further I drop into that place, the more strong I feel. The further I drop into that 434 00:33:52.480 --> 00:34:08.320 place, the more aware I become of the person of the Spirit that's flowing out of me and the power 435 00:34:08.320 --> 00:34:12.560 and the grace of the Spirit that's flowing from me. And the more I can begin to recognize 436 00:34:12.560 --> 00:34:17.520 what that grace, and there's many different graces that come from the Spirit, what that grace is for 437 00:34:17.520 --> 00:34:21.040 and what it's doing. And it's a process of time and learning and stewardship and 438 00:34:21.760 --> 00:34:28.320 growing and maturing in the Spirit. And so much of it is learned in moments like this, 439 00:34:28.320 --> 00:34:34.719 where we're actually learning to stop and drop and engage in that place. It's the same way, 440 00:34:34.719 --> 00:34:39.520 I suppose, as I wouldn't give my little five-year-old necessarily a hammer and a nail 441 00:34:39.520 --> 00:34:44.719 and expect her to build a new room in our house. But I might give her two bits of wood and a hammer 442 00:34:44.719 --> 00:34:50.719 and a nail and supervise her like a good father and watch her nail those two bits of wood together. 443 00:34:50.719 --> 00:34:55.679 Not expecting too much from it, but looking and saying, hey, if you learn this skill, I might 444 00:34:55.679 --> 00:34:59.840 give you three bits of wood. And then by the time you're 10, hey, you might be able to build your 445 00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:06.360 table. The same as dropping in the spirit and learning to flow in the spirit is 446 00:35:06.360 --> 00:35:13.560 it's the same as what I mentioned before with my sheep hear my voice but 447 00:35:13.560 --> 00:35:23.760 they don't understand me yet. It is a process that we grow stronger in and 448 00:35:23.760 --> 00:35:32.280 more capable in as we engage in that process. Now God is the one that 449 00:35:32.280 --> 00:35:37.080 makes us competent. God is the one that makes us able. Just the same way as God 450 00:35:37.080 --> 00:35:41.280 has made me able to play the piano. How has he made me able? Well he's given me 451 00:35:41.280 --> 00:35:48.400 two hands with two thumbs and eight fingers and a capacity to learn. I 452 00:35:48.400 --> 00:35:53.680 have been made able to play the piano but I still have to learn the piano and 453 00:35:53.680 --> 00:35:58.320 and that's the same with the Spirit and with the gifts of the Spirit. You've been 454 00:35:58.320 --> 00:36:03.480 made able. You've been made capable. You've been given the ability but it's 455 00:36:03.480 --> 00:36:10.720 through the process of use that you that you activate the ability that you've 456 00:36:10.720 --> 00:36:15.440 been given. So there's other things that I could say about that and we're gonna 457 00:36:15.440 --> 00:36:22.120 actually cover that in another session where we talk about stewardship. We're 458 00:36:22.120 --> 00:36:25.000 gonna cover that a little bit more and I'm gonna give some a lot of practicals 459 00:36:25.000 --> 00:36:28.700 and how to do that. It's gonna be super fun but what we're gonna do now is we're 460 00:36:28.700 --> 00:36:34.760 actually gonna pray and I'm gonna attempt to...now it's a little bit hard 461 00:36:34.760 --> 00:36:41.560 because we're on this Facebook live situation and this session is actually 462 00:36:41.560 --> 00:36:47.200 really cool when there's people live in the room but I'm the only person in my 463 00:36:47.200 --> 00:36:54.720 room right now other than the Holy Spirit and Father and Jesus and other 464 00:36:54.720 --> 00:37:01.600 invisible people. Maybe some angels I'm not sure. But what we're gonna do is 465 00:37:01.600 --> 00:37:06.600 we're gonna attempt to do a little activation and we're gonna do something 466 00:37:06.600 --> 00:37:10.320 similar to what we did in the last session. So what I want you to do is just 467 00:37:10.640 --> 00:37:16.440 take some time. Just take a moment and you can continue to listen to my voice 468 00:37:16.440 --> 00:37:26.720 but I want you to just close your eyes and I want you to do your best and some 469 00:37:26.720 --> 00:37:30.000 of this what I'm sharing with you is stuff that you kind of just have to 470 00:37:30.000 --> 00:37:35.960 explore and try on your own and you'll once you get it you'll get it. It's sort 471 00:37:35.960 --> 00:37:39.920 of a little bit hard to explain to a degree. I just want you to sit there 472 00:37:39.920 --> 00:37:44.280 find a space and I want you just to do your best to drop into the Spirit and to 473 00:37:44.280 --> 00:37:51.780 do that just take a breath and as you take that breath recognize that God is 474 00:37:51.780 --> 00:37:56.240 in the breath. Recognize that God is with you. He's fused himself and made himself 475 00:37:56.240 --> 00:38:03.000 one with you. He's chosen you. He's made you capable as a minister of the Spirit. 476 00:38:03.040 --> 00:38:07.560 Sufficient as a minister of the Spirit to minister life into areas that need 477 00:38:07.560 --> 00:38:16.640 life. You've been given authority to do this. Just drop into the Spirit into that 478 00:38:16.640 --> 00:38:21.420 deep place in you and acknowledge that God is alive in that place in the middle 479 00:38:21.420 --> 00:38:25.840 of you and the depths of you. There's a wellspring of life that is springing up 480 00:38:25.840 --> 00:38:32.120 from within you because of the Spirit. Because of the Holy Spirit. Because of 481 00:38:32.120 --> 00:38:37.320 the price Jesus paid. And just drop into that space and just start to think 482 00:38:37.320 --> 00:38:40.280 about that space. One of the ways to drop into that space is just simply think 483 00:38:40.280 --> 00:38:48.680 about it. Just simply think about it. Simply mull over it. Simply just feel it 484 00:38:48.680 --> 00:38:53.040 to the best you can. Engage with it to the best you can. God you're in the 485 00:38:53.040 --> 00:38:59.320 center of me. And now what I want you to do is as you're in that place and you can 486 00:38:59.320 --> 00:39:01.840 just sort of stay in that place but at the same time you can kind of look at 487 00:39:01.840 --> 00:39:07.280 the screen as well. And this is the moment where if you haven't 488 00:39:07.280 --> 00:39:10.280 done so already just drop some comments on the screen so people can see your 489 00:39:10.280 --> 00:39:14.200 name pop up. Because what I'm gonna do in a second is I'm gonna ask you to pick a 490 00:39:14.200 --> 00:39:21.160 name. I'm gonna ask you to just pick a name and it might be you just simply 491 00:39:21.160 --> 00:39:26.760 just picking a name because you think well that'll be a cool person to 492 00:39:26.760 --> 00:39:31.800 minister the Spirit to. Or a name that you feel the Spirit leading 493 00:39:31.800 --> 00:39:36.040 you towards a highlighting. But pick a name and we're gonna minister the Spirit. 494 00:39:36.040 --> 00:39:39.760 Now I've never done this before but I know that there's no time or space in 495 00:39:39.760 --> 00:39:45.480 the Spirit and that I'm a hundred percent convinced that you can minister 496 00:39:45.480 --> 00:39:49.600 to people thousands of miles away as if they were in the same room as you. And I 497 00:39:49.600 --> 00:39:56.880 could tell you tons of stories about that. But I want you just to ask the Lord 498 00:39:56.880 --> 00:40:02.120 for a name of someone on that on the on the screen that's popping up. 499 00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:05.800 up right now. Cool. Thanks guys for commenting. That's so cool. Thanks for 500 00:40:05.800 --> 00:40:11.240 commenting. Just just throw a high-five up, throw a yo up, even just a little dot. 501 00:40:11.240 --> 00:40:17.940 Just just get your name up on the screen so people can see your name. And I want 502 00:40:17.940 --> 00:40:22.080 you to pick a name and I want you to just, once you've got your name, I want 503 00:40:22.080 --> 00:40:27.840 you just to close your eyes and I want you to, some of you won't need to do this 504 00:40:27.840 --> 00:40:30.200 because you're already there, but others of you might have popped back up into 505 00:40:30.200 --> 00:40:33.720 your head again and dropped back down into the Spirit. Just take another breath. 506 00:40:33.720 --> 00:40:38.200 But hold that name in that place and bring that name down with you into that 507 00:40:38.200 --> 00:40:46.120 place in your inmost being, right, into the into the Spirit with you. And just 508 00:40:46.120 --> 00:40:50.280 begin to engage with the Lord and feel with the Lord and just engage with the 509 00:40:50.280 --> 00:40:54.280 Spirit right now and just be asking and be leaning into the Spirit, asking and 510 00:40:54.280 --> 00:41:01.000 saying, Holy Spirit, what are you ministering to this person right now? 511 00:41:01.000 --> 00:41:05.680 What are you ministering? And he'll probably give you either a sense or a 512 00:41:05.680 --> 00:41:11.960 feeling or even a word that describes what kind of grace or what aspect of his 513 00:41:11.960 --> 00:41:20.040 grace he is he is ministering or wanting to deliver or give or flow over to the 514 00:41:20.040 --> 00:41:24.760 person that you're holding in your heart right now. It might be freedom, it 515 00:41:24.760 --> 00:41:32.720 might be peace, it might be healing, it might be provision, but you'll get either 516 00:41:32.720 --> 00:41:37.800 a word or you'll get just a feeling that you'll be able to kind of think of, oh 517 00:41:37.800 --> 00:41:41.240 that's the word that goes with that feeling. I know that's a little bit hard 518 00:41:41.240 --> 00:41:48.080 to explain but you kind of know, some of this is your process and it's specific 519 00:41:48.080 --> 00:41:52.360 to you so I can't really over explain it. I know how it is for me, I don't a 520 00:41:52.360 --> 00:41:55.560 hundred percent know how it is for you, but there are some similarities that are 521 00:41:55.560 --> 00:41:59.080 true for everyone and that's what I'm trying to pick at right now. But I want 522 00:41:59.080 --> 00:42:03.400 you to think about that flow of the Spirit right now. What is it that the 523 00:42:03.400 --> 00:42:08.880 Holy Spirit is flowing over the person whose name you are holding in your heart 524 00:42:08.880 --> 00:42:11.920 right now? This is one of the coolest ways to minister the Spirit to people 525 00:42:11.920 --> 00:42:15.760 and they don't even need to know you're doing it. This is so cool. And I just 526 00:42:15.760 --> 00:42:24.160 simply want you to stay in that place, hold that person's name. You might not 527 00:42:24.160 --> 00:42:29.200 have ever seen their face but you can see their name. And I want you just by 528 00:42:29.200 --> 00:42:35.600 faith and really you're engaging some of your imagination in this and your 529 00:42:35.600 --> 00:42:40.560 imagination is part of the function of the Spirit that God has given you. It's 530 00:42:40.560 --> 00:42:45.320 for this purpose and this is part of the way that God has made you. This is a very 531 00:42:45.320 --> 00:42:51.760 scriptural, biblical, godly thing. And I just want you to take that the essence 532 00:42:51.760 --> 00:42:57.920 of the Spirit that you're feeling. Right now there's a person's name in my heart 533 00:42:57.920 --> 00:43:09.160 and what I'm feeling around that person is I'm feeling, I'm trying to think of 534 00:43:09.160 --> 00:43:14.600 the word for it right now. It's like energy and it's light. It's like 535 00:43:14.600 --> 00:43:20.560 awake. It's like an awakening. It's like I'm feeling that. And sometimes you don't 536 00:43:20.560 --> 00:43:23.840 have all the words for it but you know what you're feeling. And you just, what 537 00:43:23.840 --> 00:43:28.760 you do is you just turn that feeling, the essence of the Spirit, and you turn it 538 00:43:28.760 --> 00:43:35.320 towards the person that you're holding in your heart. And you just shine that 539 00:43:35.320 --> 00:43:39.880 feeling and you minister that feeling by the Spirit. The Spirit's invisible. 540 00:43:39.880 --> 00:43:44.000 You are engaging in an invisible space right now which is kind of 541 00:43:44.000 --> 00:43:48.360 a peculiar and sometimes foreign space to minister in. But you just project that 542 00:43:48.360 --> 00:43:53.440 and you hold that feeling over that person. I'm just holding the light and 543 00:43:53.440 --> 00:44:00.960 the energy and it's like an awakening over this person right now. I almost 544 00:44:01.120 --> 00:44:05.520 have the feeling like they feel super tired and maybe a little bit run down 545 00:44:05.520 --> 00:44:10.360 and they need to be infused with life again. And so I'm just holding the life 546 00:44:10.360 --> 00:44:15.160 and the awakeness of the Spirit over them right now. I'm ministering to that 547 00:44:15.160 --> 00:44:20.600 to them. I'm imagining as I'm doing that all of their cells coming alive with the 548 00:44:20.600 --> 00:44:24.960 life and the awakeness of the Spirit. And as I'm doing that I'm trying hard not to 549 00:44:24.960 --> 00:44:29.640 get distracted because I know I'm still in this time with you and teaching this 550 00:44:29.640 --> 00:44:35.280 class here online. But I'm starting to go into the prophetic and words of 551 00:44:35.280 --> 00:44:39.480 knowledge and I'll probably end up contacting that person who's in my heart 552 00:44:39.480 --> 00:44:44.720 after this and actually just sharing some of that stuff with them. But what 553 00:44:44.720 --> 00:44:48.240 I want you to do is just do that for a little bit and then if you can summarize 554 00:44:48.240 --> 00:44:56.680 the feeling or the dynamic from the Holy Spirit from God that you have 555 00:44:56.680 --> 00:45:01.960 been holding over that person in the Spirit. I really hope this makes sense. 556 00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:06.320 sense. I know I'm trying, sometimes spiritual things are really hard to explain with 557 00:45:07.120 --> 00:45:12.240 reasonable words and so I do apologize for that and I do realize that some of this might be a 558 00:45:12.240 --> 00:45:19.520 little bit like, what? And again, I really do apologize for that. I'm trying to explain kind 559 00:45:19.520 --> 00:45:26.400 of what happens in the inner world of Matt and I'm a little bit of a hyper creative 560 00:45:26.400 --> 00:45:34.000 kind of unusual person anyway. So hopefully it makes sense to you. It definitely makes sense 561 00:45:34.000 --> 00:45:37.840 to me, but that definitely does not mean it necessarily makes sense to anyone else. 562 00:45:40.000 --> 00:45:46.000 But once you've felt that for a while and you've been holding that over that person for a while, 563 00:45:46.000 --> 00:45:53.760 I want you to try and just put that essence of the Spirit in a sentence or a word. Peace, 564 00:45:53.760 --> 00:46:01.200 freedom, healing, whatever it is, life, energy, and just make a comment on the comment section. 565 00:46:01.840 --> 00:46:11.360 Just tag the person and just say, I've been releasing dot dot dot over you. I've been 566 00:46:11.360 --> 00:46:15.920 releasing peace over you. I've been releasing health over you. I've been releasing da da da 567 00:46:15.920 --> 00:46:20.800 over you. And you can feel free to prophesy over that or whatever, but it would be interesting to 568 00:46:20.800 --> 00:46:29.280 me to just take note. If someone has been ministering the Spirit to you, just take a little 569 00:46:29.280 --> 00:46:38.800 bit of a note of kind of what happens in your life, what happens in your heart, what happens 570 00:46:38.800 --> 00:46:44.640 around you over the next few hours. It would be really interesting to know how that relates and 571 00:46:44.640 --> 00:46:48.720 comes into alignment with what the person has been ministering over you and what they've been 572 00:46:48.720 --> 00:46:54.160 releasing over you. The ministry of the Spirit is so powerful. Never underestimate the ministry 573 00:46:54.160 --> 00:46:58.880 of the Spirit. Everything that is seen came from something that is not seen first. Everything that 574 00:46:58.880 --> 00:47:04.960 is physical came from the Spirit. There's nothing that you can see that wasn't in the Spirit 575 00:47:04.960 --> 00:47:10.320 first, as it were. And so this is a very, very, very, very, very powerful thing that we're doing 576 00:47:10.320 --> 00:47:19.360 right now. It's 100% not just your imagination. It is powerful and effective. And you have been 577 00:47:19.360 --> 00:47:26.880 given the capacity and the ability to do this by God. So we've obviously done an activation online. 578 00:47:27.920 --> 00:47:34.560 When it comes to praying for people in the flesh, it's the same thing. 579 00:47:34.560 --> 00:47:40.320 It's the same thing as you just stop and drop. You take that person's needs, you take that person's 580 00:47:40.960 --> 00:47:46.960 breakthrough, or you just take a note of that person and you hold them in your heart, in your 581 00:47:46.960 --> 00:47:52.240 spirit, and you just feel the flow of the Spirit towards that person. Stop and drop. Our Father, 582 00:47:52.240 --> 00:47:56.320 who is in the air we breathe, we stop and become aware of you. We stop and make space 583 00:47:56.320 --> 00:48:01.120 internally for you right now. And then from that place, you minister the Spirit. 584 00:48:02.080 --> 00:48:06.080 There'd be a lot of things that I would do right now in terms of activations 585 00:48:07.520 --> 00:48:15.120 if you were in the same room as me and we were live. But you are not. But I want to encourage 586 00:48:15.120 --> 00:48:22.240 you to just continue for a few minutes just dropping some comments on there and the feeling 587 00:48:22.240 --> 00:48:27.280 of the Spirit that you're feeling towards that person as you are ministering the Spirit to them. 588 00:48:27.280 --> 00:48:32.000 Just give them some feedback on what you have been ministering. 589 00:48:37.680 --> 00:48:42.000 So many times, guys, I've been in situations where I've been praying for someone and I've 590 00:48:42.000 --> 00:48:46.640 been trying, I've been really pushing and striving and it's all up here in my head. 591 00:48:47.200 --> 00:48:50.640 And I'll stop and drop, come down into the Spirit and minister from down, 592 00:48:50.640 --> 00:48:54.640 I'm patting my stomach right now, from down here. And I'll minister from there 593 00:48:55.600 --> 00:49:02.160 and the flow just opens up and people start getting impacted by the Spirit immediately. 594 00:49:02.880 --> 00:49:06.240 I could tell you story after story, after story, after story, after story, 595 00:49:06.240 --> 00:49:08.800 and I just told you at the start, the person with the tumor in India. 596 00:49:11.200 --> 00:49:18.320 You know, my intellect is not going to bring that result. My physical body is not going to bring 597 00:49:18.320 --> 00:49:24.080 that result. But as I engage with the Holy Spirit that lives inside of me and release 598 00:49:24.080 --> 00:49:27.920 that flow of the Spirit onto that person, the Spirit gives that kind of result. 599 00:49:28.640 --> 00:49:36.640 And so, awesome. All right. Well, I'm going to finish this now. 600 00:49:37.920 --> 00:49:44.000 And what I'm going to do is it'll finish and then I'll upload it on the Raising Royalty site. 601 00:49:44.000 --> 00:49:51.680 So you can carry on dropping comments when the session is uploaded onto the Raising Royalty site, 602 00:49:51.680 --> 00:49:57.120 which normally takes about two minutes. So it might stop for two minutes and then you can start again. 603 00:49:57.760 --> 00:49:59.760 I'll also, of course, drop the... 604 00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:11.080 Sorry there's a whole bunch of stuff going on here. I'll also drop the, sorry 605 00:50:11.080 --> 00:50:16.040 what am I talking about? I'll drop the link for the three-week activation. 606 00:50:16.040 --> 00:50:21.040 That'll be cool. On the comments soon, you'll see that there. And have an 607 00:50:21.040 --> 00:50:28.280 amazing day today, night, morning, whatever it is for you. And encourage you to try 608 00:50:28.280 --> 00:50:32.720 this stuff out. And feel free to drop the testimonies, drop the stories of 609 00:50:32.720 --> 00:50:36.760 trying this stuff out on the feed. And give feedback in the comments. It's 610 00:50:36.760 --> 00:50:40.640 just so cool to see. I love to hear your feedback. Love to hear the testimonies. 611 00:50:40.640 --> 00:50:45.160 Love to hear what you're getting from this and all that stuff. Tomorrow we're 612 00:50:45.160 --> 00:50:50.080 gonna be live with three sessions. So we're gonna talk about passing through 613 00:50:50.080 --> 00:50:53.680 the eye of the needle. And that's gonna be a really cool one just to let you 614 00:50:53.680 --> 00:50:57.160 know what that's all about. That's gonna be how to deal with disappointment. How 615 00:50:57.160 --> 00:51:00.360 to deal with things when it doesn't happen the way you expected it to happen. 616 00:51:00.360 --> 00:51:04.840 What do you do when you pray for someone and they don't get healed? That kind of 617 00:51:04.840 --> 00:51:08.320 thing. So that's a real big thing for people. And I've often found that this is 618 00:51:08.320 --> 00:51:12.840 a really powerful session. And we're gonna talk about the still small voice. 619 00:51:12.840 --> 00:51:18.360 Following the still small voice. And we are going to talk about stewarding 620 00:51:18.360 --> 00:51:26.120 the seed. So awesome. Love you guys. Peace.
