1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.060
you

2
00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:32.060
you

3
00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:02.060
you

4
00:01:31.000 --> 00:01:38.840
oh hey school of the prophets come on in find your seats those are you

5
00:01:38.840 --> 00:01:45.120
joining us online welcome back we're gonna jump back in to our theme of

6
00:01:45.120 --> 00:01:53.560
prophetic reformers I'm so excited about this this theme because I feel like it

7
00:01:53.560 --> 00:02:00.500
what it actually does for me is that it feels like for all of us we have a

8
00:02:00.500 --> 00:02:08.919
purpose in bringing the plans and the destiny that God has in store for the

9
00:02:08.919 --> 00:02:15.120
world we get to bring it in many different ways and hopefully throughout

10
00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:23.480
our time we're gonna give you practicals we're gonna give you ideas and we're

11
00:02:23.480 --> 00:02:28.960
gonna give you themes that would actually impact your own family's life

12
00:02:28.960 --> 00:02:37.800
because how many you know Reformation in family is an amazing Reformation and if

13
00:02:37.800 --> 00:02:43.440
we could just reform our own families I believe that would transform the world

14
00:02:43.440 --> 00:02:50.400
and we need a Reformation at home first my wife likes to say this all the time

15
00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:57.800
she's she says revival isn't revival until it shows up in my home so we can

16
00:02:57.800 --> 00:03:02.080
have a good church service we can have an amazing time here at school of the

17
00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:07.680
prophets but if it doesn't actually translate to transformation in your own

18
00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:13.680
life and own family then something's missing we got to fix that first we got

19
00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:19.800
to work on that first and then we live out of overflow and then it expands the

20
00:03:19.800 --> 00:03:25.040
borders of our own home into our community into our other spheres of

21
00:03:25.040 --> 00:03:31.560
influence maybe that's your business maybe that's your school it doesn't

22
00:03:31.560 --> 00:03:37.240
matter where that's at it begins to expand outside of there and it doesn't

23
00:03:37.240 --> 00:03:42.720
mean like okay I graduated from family now now I'm expanding I'm gonna do this

24
00:03:42.720 --> 00:03:47.080
here and this here maybe that's what you're called to you're you're actually

25
00:03:47.360 --> 00:03:51.760
called to your own family it doesn't need to be bigger than that and God

26
00:03:51.760 --> 00:03:57.080
doesn't say oh this over here is bigger than that no that's number one that's

27
00:03:57.080 --> 00:04:01.800
what he builds the kingdom on the model of family amen we'll stand to your feet

28
00:04:01.800 --> 00:04:06.840
and welcome Bethany Hicks as she kicks us off

29
00:04:06.840 --> 00:04:19.600
thank you all right thank you again want to welcome our online audience as

30
00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:28.000
well our Brazilian friends abrigado it's a little tip if you're gonna go speak in

31
00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:31.320
different countries and cultures learn something in their language because it

32
00:04:31.320 --> 00:04:35.800
shows that you love them enough to learn something new so that's why when I went

33
00:04:35.800 --> 00:04:46.520
to England I would speak in an English accent I'm not but I kept my daughters

34
00:04:46.520 --> 00:04:51.320
come in they're brilliant at it if I do it you guys won't even take me seriously

35
00:04:51.320 --> 00:04:56.760
the rest of the day so hey speaking of which I do want to introduce I have my

36
00:04:56.760 --> 00:05:01.120
family here that's coming to support me so

37
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:01.320
I'd love to have mom, could you stand?

38
00:05:01.320 --> 00:05:03.640
This is my mom, you guys, stand up.

39
00:05:03.640 --> 00:05:05.080
The woman who birthed me.

40
00:05:05.080 --> 00:05:10.080
My father just went to heaven a couple months ago,

41
00:05:12.120 --> 00:05:15.080
and we just celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary

42
00:05:15.080 --> 00:05:15.960
last December.

43
00:05:15.960 --> 00:05:19.440
It was the first time our entire family was together

44
00:05:19.440 --> 00:05:22.240
in like eight years, and so God, just in his goodness,

45
00:05:22.240 --> 00:05:23.960
was like prepping our family for something

46
00:05:23.960 --> 00:05:25.000
that we didn't know was coming.

47
00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:27.080
So it's been an interesting transition,

48
00:05:27.080 --> 00:05:28.800
but I'm so thankful to my parents.

49
00:05:28.840 --> 00:05:30.840
And then I want to introduce my niece

50
00:05:30.840 --> 00:05:33.360
and my sister-in-law, Emily.

51
00:05:33.360 --> 00:05:36.800
She's a third year BSSM, Emily, alumni.

52
00:05:37.880 --> 00:05:39.560
And then my sister-in-law, Jen,

53
00:05:39.560 --> 00:05:41.360
she's actually a daughter of this house,

54
00:05:41.360 --> 00:05:42.440
grew up with the family.

55
00:05:42.440 --> 00:05:46.040
And then my beautiful, two of my three children,

56
00:05:46.040 --> 00:05:48.160
my daughters, Faith, you want to stand up?

57
00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:49.840
Stand up, girl.

58
00:05:49.840 --> 00:05:53.440
This is Faith, Noelle, and Ellie.

59
00:05:53.440 --> 00:05:55.400
This is my youngest, Ellie Hicks.

60
00:05:55.400 --> 00:06:00.400
They're gonna kill me for that, I can't even wait.

61
00:06:01.400 --> 00:06:04.520
So I do want to do one quick giveaway here.

62
00:06:04.520 --> 00:06:07.160
We've been talking about my first book a little bit,

63
00:06:07.160 --> 00:06:10.800
because we proved Chris was a prophet,

64
00:06:10.800 --> 00:06:12.600
because he prophesied this.

65
00:06:12.600 --> 00:06:16.120
And this book is called Own Your Assignment.

66
00:06:16.120 --> 00:06:18.840
And as we mentioned before, four years ago,

67
00:06:19.920 --> 00:06:22.000
we were at School of the Prophets,

68
00:06:22.000 --> 00:06:23.840
and Chris prophesied that I would write the book

69
00:06:23.840 --> 00:06:27.080
that would redefine mothering in the kingdom of God.

70
00:06:27.080 --> 00:06:30.960
And it kind of was birthed out of different things,

71
00:06:30.960 --> 00:06:32.560
but I would get these words,

72
00:06:32.560 --> 00:06:33.680
Lindsay was sharing this the other day,

73
00:06:33.680 --> 00:06:35.960
I would get these words like, oh, you're a pioneer,

74
00:06:35.960 --> 00:06:38.240
you're a forerunner, you're a lightning rod from heaven.

75
00:06:38.240 --> 00:06:40.320
I'd be like, yes, yes, that's so me,

76
00:06:40.320 --> 00:06:41.880
really powerful words, right?

77
00:06:41.880 --> 00:06:45.080
And then they'd be like, and you'll be known as a mother.

78
00:06:45.080 --> 00:06:47.280
And I would cringe inside,

79
00:06:47.280 --> 00:06:49.560
not because I don't love being a mother to my children,

80
00:06:49.560 --> 00:06:52.720
but because I felt like there had been such a lack

81
00:06:52.760 --> 00:06:54.760
of definition of what a mother carries

82
00:06:54.760 --> 00:06:57.320
in almost like a second-class citizen,

83
00:06:58.160 --> 00:07:00.600
kind of like, we don't know what to call you anymore

84
00:07:00.600 --> 00:07:02.720
in the church, so we're gonna call you a mother.

85
00:07:02.720 --> 00:07:04.080
Like, what does a mother do?

86
00:07:04.080 --> 00:07:06.480
And so the Lord really took me on a journey

87
00:07:06.480 --> 00:07:08.720
throughout scripture and experience

88
00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:11.120
to see what is the difference,

89
00:07:11.120 --> 00:07:13.440
what's the distinction between what a father carries

90
00:07:13.440 --> 00:07:16.520
and what does a mother uniquely carry?

91
00:07:16.520 --> 00:07:21.200
And I used to, I hate to strong word,

92
00:07:21.200 --> 00:07:23.880
but I didn't love the scripture that talked about

93
00:07:23.880 --> 00:07:26.280
older women shall teach the younger women.

94
00:07:27.200 --> 00:07:29.600
Wow, a lot of the women were like, yes.

95
00:07:29.600 --> 00:07:30.440
You know why?

96
00:07:30.440 --> 00:07:32.440
It's because we felt like in the church,

97
00:07:32.440 --> 00:07:34.520
it basically relegated women

98
00:07:34.520 --> 00:07:37.360
to only children and women's ministry.

99
00:07:37.360 --> 00:07:40.760
And as a woman who's called to the broad audience,

100
00:07:40.760 --> 00:07:43.800
that was like, that didn't resonate with me.

101
00:07:43.800 --> 00:07:46.520
And then I realized just the other day, to be honest,

102
00:07:46.520 --> 00:07:48.400
that the Lord connected it,

103
00:07:48.400 --> 00:07:51.680
because the first principle to raising a world changer,

104
00:07:51.680 --> 00:07:53.640
which is what I believe fathers and mothers

105
00:07:53.640 --> 00:07:56.120
are called to do, okay?

106
00:07:56.120 --> 00:07:59.520
Like, do you guys know that the billion soul harvest

107
00:07:59.520 --> 00:08:01.760
now is and is still coming, right?

108
00:08:01.760 --> 00:08:02.880
Like, it's happening.

109
00:08:02.880 --> 00:08:04.560
We're actually in the midst of it.

110
00:08:04.560 --> 00:08:07.280
And what's happening is you've got all these people

111
00:08:07.280 --> 00:08:08.800
coming into the kingdom of God.

112
00:08:08.800 --> 00:08:11.480
They were orphans and now they're sons and daughters,

113
00:08:11.480 --> 00:08:13.480
but they don't automatically know how to live

114
00:08:13.480 --> 00:08:15.000
as sons and daughters.

115
00:08:15.000 --> 00:08:18.280
They need fathers and mothers to show them

116
00:08:19.000 --> 00:08:20.400
who they really are and to raise them up

117
00:08:20.400 --> 00:08:23.080
to be the world changers that they're called to be.

118
00:08:23.080 --> 00:08:25.960
So back to the older women and the younger women,

119
00:08:25.960 --> 00:08:28.720
I realized that it goes back to the first principle

120
00:08:28.720 --> 00:08:30.720
that the best way for a mother,

121
00:08:30.720 --> 00:08:32.919
the best way to raise a world changer

122
00:08:32.919 --> 00:08:34.799
is to be a world changer yourself.

123
00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:41.640
Like produces after its own kind, right?

124
00:08:41.640 --> 00:08:44.720
Like, you cannot raise somebody up to be something

125
00:08:44.720 --> 00:08:47.160
that you're not already walking in.

126
00:08:47.160 --> 00:08:49.360
And so I feel like this is a message.

127
00:08:49.360 --> 00:08:52.280
This is actually, honestly,

128
00:08:52.280 --> 00:08:55.680
at the time that this prophetic word was given,

129
00:08:55.680 --> 00:08:57.240
like I said, four years ago.

130
00:08:58.200 --> 00:08:59.880
Okay, this is kind of a funny side note.

131
00:08:59.880 --> 00:09:01.600
This is just only God could do this.

132
00:09:01.600 --> 00:09:03.920
So Chris releases a message.

133
00:09:03.920 --> 00:09:05.120
It's a mandate that comes to me.

134
00:09:05.120 --> 00:09:06.520
I start writing the book.

135
00:09:06.520 --> 00:09:08.200
I've never written a book before.

136
00:09:08.200 --> 00:09:10.800
Wrote the book in about four months and editing.

137
00:09:10.800 --> 00:09:14.320
Okay, the day that I got my first paperback book,

138
00:09:14.320 --> 00:09:15.560
just to look at it,

139
00:09:15.560 --> 00:09:17.800
I looked at the calendar to the date.

140
00:09:17.800 --> 00:09:22.400
It was nine months from the date that Chris gave the word

141
00:09:22.400 --> 00:09:26.360
to the day that I birthed my first book.

142
00:09:26.360 --> 00:09:29.240
I mean, anybody who's written a book,

143
00:09:29.240 --> 00:09:31.040
you cannot make that happen.

144
00:09:31.040 --> 00:09:33.560
Can I just say like, there's just so many other pieces.

145
00:09:33.560 --> 00:09:36.640
So I thought that that was really fun in that.

146
00:09:36.640 --> 00:09:38.720
But I really believe you guys,

147
00:09:38.720 --> 00:09:42.720
like I knew at the time it was Jehovah's Sneaky.

148
00:09:42.720 --> 00:09:45.440
Like I felt like it was a forerunning message.

149
00:09:46.280 --> 00:09:48.080
And I didn't understand why God was highlighting mothers

150
00:09:48.080 --> 00:09:50.600
four years ago, but I felt like it was a seed

151
00:09:50.600 --> 00:09:53.040
that was being scattered out into the waters,

152
00:09:53.040 --> 00:09:55.480
like the bread to see what was gonna be returned.

153
00:09:55.480 --> 00:09:59.380
Because you guys, as you know, what is under attack today?

154
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:03.920
Yes, you guys are all right.

155
00:10:03.920 --> 00:10:06.300
Yes, I mean, really, what's not attacked today?

156
00:10:06.300 --> 00:10:08.000
That's probably the best question.

157
00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:13.040
But like, women are now being called what?

158
00:10:13.040 --> 00:10:15.340
Menstruating person?

159
00:10:15.340 --> 00:10:18.160
They're trying to redefine, and mothers,

160
00:10:18.160 --> 00:10:21.880
they're trying to relabel, redefine as birthing people.

161
00:10:25.240 --> 00:10:27.860
Okay, it is an assignment.

162
00:10:27.860 --> 00:10:30.620
It is a role, it is a God-given role

163
00:10:30.620 --> 00:10:34.620
to the family structure, to the leadership of family.

164
00:10:34.620 --> 00:10:38.580
And I believe that God is raising all women up

165
00:10:38.580 --> 00:10:40.980
who are willing to take the responsibility

166
00:10:40.980 --> 00:10:42.540
of mothering in this season.

167
00:10:42.540 --> 00:10:43.900
It doesn't matter your age,

168
00:10:43.900 --> 00:10:45.220
doesn't matter your situation,

169
00:10:45.220 --> 00:10:46.060
whether you've been married,

170
00:10:46.060 --> 00:10:48.000
whether you've had children, whether you haven't.

171
00:10:48.000 --> 00:10:51.300
I believe it's the call because of the kingdom of God

172
00:10:51.300 --> 00:10:53.140
and the harvest that's coming.

173
00:10:53.140 --> 00:10:55.020
Every son and daughter needs to know

174
00:10:55.020 --> 00:10:56.560
how to live as a world changer

175
00:10:56.560 --> 00:10:59.760
when he mothers and fathers, that's what this is about.

176
00:10:59.760 --> 00:11:04.760
So, I would like to give this to,

177
00:11:06.040 --> 00:11:07.040
oh, Jesus.

178
00:11:10.880 --> 00:11:12.600
Okay, I just, I always like doing this.

179
00:11:12.600 --> 00:11:15.160
I like to give this to a woman who's single,

180
00:11:15.160 --> 00:11:17.000
who has never had children,

181
00:11:17.000 --> 00:11:19.240
but has had words about becoming a mother.

182
00:11:19.240 --> 00:11:20.760
Yeah, okay, yeah, is that you?

183
00:11:20.760 --> 00:11:21.760
Awesome, okay.

184
00:11:22.600 --> 00:11:25.600
All right, so, Father, I thank you, Lord, wow.

185
00:11:25.600 --> 00:11:26.680
I thank you.

186
00:11:30.680 --> 00:11:34.200
You said, more the children of the barren woman, Father God.

187
00:11:34.200 --> 00:11:35.680
And Father, I just thank you right now

188
00:11:35.680 --> 00:11:40.120
that you're even enlarging the tent.

189
00:11:40.120 --> 00:11:42.920
Wow, for those that are coming.

190
00:11:42.920 --> 00:11:46.200
You're enlarging the tent pegs right now for her, Father,

191
00:11:46.200 --> 00:11:49.000
because I see that you're enlarging the tent pegs

192
00:11:49.680 --> 00:11:51.080
right now for her, Father,

193
00:11:51.080 --> 00:11:53.680
because I see the children are coming.

194
00:11:53.680 --> 00:11:55.200
The children are coming.

195
00:11:55.200 --> 00:11:57.440
And I just, I'm getting the sense in this impression,

196
00:11:57.440 --> 00:11:59.120
it's even like, I don't know why I'm seeing

197
00:11:59.120 --> 00:12:01.000
like African children or something like that too.

198
00:12:01.000 --> 00:12:02.120
So, I don't even know if that's something

199
00:12:02.120 --> 00:12:03.440
that's on your heart.

200
00:12:03.440 --> 00:12:05.240
But Father, I just thank you right now

201
00:12:05.240 --> 00:12:07.960
that you're enlarging the tent pegs of her heart,

202
00:12:08.960 --> 00:12:12.240
but you're also enlarging her resources, Father,

203
00:12:12.240 --> 00:12:14.100
and you're even just bringing the right people

204
00:12:14.100 --> 00:12:14.940
into her life, Father,

205
00:12:14.940 --> 00:12:17.360
because I do believe there's a call on your life

206
00:12:17.360 --> 00:12:21.080
to mother a generation in Jesus' name, amen.

207
00:12:22.040 --> 00:12:22.880
Wow.

208
00:12:28.880 --> 00:12:32.160
All right, so we're talking about prophetic reformation.

209
00:12:32.160 --> 00:12:34.640
As you guys know, each one of our speakers

210
00:12:34.640 --> 00:12:38.000
are gonna share a topic that's really strong

211
00:12:38.000 --> 00:12:39.760
and passionate on our hearts.

212
00:12:39.760 --> 00:12:42.000
And I'm gonna be speaking today,

213
00:12:42.000 --> 00:12:45.440
kind of, I'm just gonna start talking, how about that?

214
00:12:45.440 --> 00:12:46.840
How many of you guys would agree

215
00:12:47.240 --> 00:12:50.240
that our culture needs a prophetic reformation today?

216
00:12:51.360 --> 00:12:52.200
Right?

217
00:12:52.200 --> 00:12:54.360
Like with all that's going on in the culture,

218
00:12:54.360 --> 00:12:57.160
I mean, we've got the pandemic, economics,

219
00:12:57.160 --> 00:12:59.400
political, right, education.

220
00:12:59.400 --> 00:13:01.680
It's like everywhere you look,

221
00:13:01.680 --> 00:13:03.920
there seems to be some kind of an issue

222
00:13:03.920 --> 00:13:07.160
or a challenge that needs reformation.

223
00:13:07.160 --> 00:13:09.040
Now, I was looking up the word reform,

224
00:13:09.040 --> 00:13:12.820
and the definition for reform is to make an improvement,

225
00:13:12.820 --> 00:13:16.320
to change to a better state, okay?

226
00:13:16.320 --> 00:13:18.680
So when we are talking about reformation,

227
00:13:18.680 --> 00:13:22.080
we're talking about to change something

228
00:13:22.080 --> 00:13:26.320
from what it is to a better state, okay?

229
00:13:26.320 --> 00:13:27.160
Do you guys wanna hear

230
00:13:27.160 --> 00:13:29.880
the greatest reformation war cry of all time?

231
00:13:31.840 --> 00:13:33.000
Remember Dana was talking about

232
00:13:33.000 --> 00:13:35.240
this whole like interaction thing?

233
00:13:35.240 --> 00:13:36.080
Okay.

234
00:13:37.360 --> 00:13:39.360
Greatest reformation war cry.

235
00:13:41.240 --> 00:13:45.760
Your kingdom come, your will be done,

236
00:13:45.760 --> 00:13:47.680
on earth as it is in heaven.

237
00:13:51.400 --> 00:13:55.040
That is a prayer of reformation, guys.

238
00:13:55.040 --> 00:13:56.480
What was Jesus saying?

239
00:13:56.480 --> 00:13:59.640
Make earth better than its current state.

240
00:13:59.640 --> 00:14:01.920
Make earth look like heaven.

241
00:14:01.920 --> 00:14:05.440
See, we're all called to partner with reformation on earth

242
00:14:05.440 --> 00:14:08.660
because this is part of your kingly and queenly identity.

243
00:14:08.660 --> 00:14:11.160
We are called to have dominion over the earth,

244
00:14:11.160 --> 00:14:15.160
and our job is to make earth look like heaven, you know?

245
00:14:15.160 --> 00:14:16.680
And can I just share with you right now,

246
00:14:16.680 --> 00:14:21.680
as a mother, I am concerned about something that I'm seeing

247
00:14:24.020 --> 00:14:27.460
that's becoming a pattern in our generation today.

248
00:14:28.320 --> 00:14:30.780
I'm concerned about the identity

249
00:14:30.780 --> 00:14:33.280
of this next generation that's rising up.

250
00:14:35.240 --> 00:14:37.640
All that's out there, the gender confusion,

251
00:14:38.540 --> 00:14:39.380
the different things.

252
00:14:39.380 --> 00:14:43.120
My youngest daughter started public school last year,

253
00:14:43.160 --> 00:14:45.920
and she was in ninth grade,

254
00:14:45.920 --> 00:14:48.360
and she was just sharing me like, you know,

255
00:14:48.360 --> 00:14:49.920
of course, all these different people,

256
00:14:49.920 --> 00:14:53.840
like the homosexuality, the pressure to not be straight,

257
00:14:55.640 --> 00:14:58.400
and just the conversations they're even having.

258
00:14:58.400 --> 00:14:59.840
She's in theater.

259
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:03.840
that obviously draws some unique characters already.

260
00:15:03.840 --> 00:15:05.920
But she was saying how one day she was walking

261
00:15:05.920 --> 00:15:07.500
and she heard a conversation behind her

262
00:15:07.500 --> 00:15:09.600
and one kid was talking to their friend

263
00:15:09.600 --> 00:15:11.200
and they were like, you know what,

264
00:15:11.200 --> 00:15:13.680
somebody told me the other day

265
00:15:13.680 --> 00:15:17.360
that I'm giving them like vamp, vampire vibes, vamp vibes.

266
00:15:17.360 --> 00:15:18.440
And they're like, I really like that.

267
00:15:18.440 --> 00:15:21.120
I think I'm gonna start to identify as a vampire now.

268
00:15:21.120 --> 00:15:24.820
And they were totally serious, totally serious.

269
00:15:24.820 --> 00:15:27.080
And then of course, like my hairdresser

270
00:15:27.080 --> 00:15:31.080
whose children were in elementary and junior high,

271
00:15:31.080 --> 00:15:34.400
the cool thing, as Chris was talking about earlier,

272
00:15:34.400 --> 00:15:38.880
the cool thing is to be gay, is to shift your gender

273
00:15:38.880 --> 00:15:41.760
or to choose a different sexual orientation.

274
00:15:41.760 --> 00:15:44.060
Now, I share this with you

275
00:15:44.060 --> 00:15:46.720
because I really believe in my whole heart.

276
00:15:46.720 --> 00:15:49.880
We used to, we have in the past,

277
00:15:49.880 --> 00:15:53.460
the church has judged those kinds of tendencies

278
00:15:53.460 --> 00:15:55.040
as a morality issue.

279
00:15:55.040 --> 00:15:57.240
And I agree with that in that past.

280
00:15:57.240 --> 00:15:59.160
But I believe with my whole heart

281
00:15:59.160 --> 00:16:02.600
that what's happening today is less a morality issue

282
00:16:02.600 --> 00:16:04.520
and more an identity crisis.

283
00:16:06.320 --> 00:16:10.000
I believe that there's a spirit of confusion

284
00:16:10.000 --> 00:16:13.160
that the enemy has put on the children of today.

285
00:16:13.160 --> 00:16:15.780
They actually don't know what they're doing.

286
00:16:16.720 --> 00:16:18.920
And because they're so impressionable,

287
00:16:18.920 --> 00:16:22.200
they are following the crown.

288
00:16:22.200 --> 00:16:24.280
See, this is why the enemy's doing this

289
00:16:24.320 --> 00:16:26.960
because he knows that he can cause confusion

290
00:16:26.960 --> 00:16:30.080
at the very core of your identity.

291
00:16:30.080 --> 00:16:33.360
Think about this, the core of your created identity.

292
00:16:33.360 --> 00:16:35.220
Am I a boy or a girl?

293
00:16:35.220 --> 00:16:37.880
Like, how is that even a question?

294
00:16:38.800 --> 00:16:41.880
Did you know that if somebody were to,

295
00:16:41.880 --> 00:16:44.100
when you died in a 200 years,

296
00:16:44.100 --> 00:16:45.720
if they were to dig up your bones,

297
00:16:45.720 --> 00:16:49.240
they could tell by your bones if you were a man or a woman.

298
00:16:49.240 --> 00:16:51.200
It's in your DNA.

299
00:16:51.200 --> 00:16:56.200
But yet the spirit of confusion has so clouded

300
00:16:56.800 --> 00:16:59.960
the ability to actually even embrace the truth

301
00:16:59.960 --> 00:17:01.760
of their very core identity.

302
00:17:01.760 --> 00:17:03.520
But do you know why this is happening?

303
00:17:03.520 --> 00:17:05.920
It's because the enemy knows

304
00:17:05.920 --> 00:17:08.880
that your identity impacts your destiny.

305
00:17:11.500 --> 00:17:14.440
It's not a coincidence either that,

306
00:17:14.440 --> 00:17:15.960
I believe that it's not a coincidence

307
00:17:15.960 --> 00:17:18.520
there's this rise of confusion

308
00:17:18.520 --> 00:17:22.200
with the homosexuality, the transgenderism.

309
00:17:22.200 --> 00:17:23.720
And you guys, I hope you hear my heart.

310
00:17:23.720 --> 00:17:24.960
This is not about a judgment.

311
00:17:24.960 --> 00:17:27.140
I'm gonna bring a solution to you guys.

312
00:17:27.140 --> 00:17:31.760
But I'm trying to present to you a very real problem

313
00:17:31.760 --> 00:17:34.120
or a challenge that's happening.

314
00:17:34.120 --> 00:17:36.680
And I wanna give you a different perspective

315
00:17:36.680 --> 00:17:39.440
so you can start to see yourself as a reformer

316
00:17:39.440 --> 00:17:40.840
and not a protester.

317
00:17:43.640 --> 00:17:45.960
So with Roe v. Wade that's happening,

318
00:17:45.960 --> 00:17:48.760
you know how Roe v. Wade was just turned over, right?

319
00:17:49.800 --> 00:17:52.900
And so I don't think it's a coincidence

320
00:17:52.900 --> 00:17:55.720
that what's happening with this identity crisis,

321
00:17:55.720 --> 00:17:58.680
what's happening in the culture right now with children,

322
00:17:58.680 --> 00:18:01.240
especially in the last few years,

323
00:18:01.240 --> 00:18:04.440
I don't think it's a coincidence that that's on the rise

324
00:18:04.440 --> 00:18:07.280
with the overturning of Roe v. Wade.

325
00:18:07.280 --> 00:18:09.400
I really believe that if the enemy

326
00:18:09.400 --> 00:18:11.340
can't kill a generation in the womb,

327
00:18:11.340 --> 00:18:14.920
he's gonna kill a generation through identity confusion.

328
00:18:16.800 --> 00:18:21.800
If he can't kill the destiny of people

329
00:18:22.440 --> 00:18:23.800
who are not yet born,

330
00:18:23.800 --> 00:18:26.200
he's gonna kill the destiny of people

331
00:18:26.200 --> 00:18:27.820
through identity confusion.

332
00:18:28.880 --> 00:18:32.000
See, have you guys even thought this through a little bit?

333
00:18:32.000 --> 00:18:33.120
I don't know if you guys are like me,

334
00:18:33.120 --> 00:18:36.640
but I was thinking if this continues to grow,

335
00:18:36.640 --> 00:18:39.760
this concept, this idea,

336
00:18:39.760 --> 00:18:43.280
and if it continues to grow in 30 years,

337
00:18:43.280 --> 00:18:45.800
20 to 30 years, this generation,

338
00:18:46.640 --> 00:18:49.080
this generation is now gonna be adults.

339
00:18:49.080 --> 00:18:52.720
Can you even imagine what the structure

340
00:18:52.720 --> 00:18:55.240
of our society is gonna look like?

341
00:18:55.240 --> 00:18:56.800
I mean, at the very least,

342
00:18:56.800 --> 00:18:59.960
the family unit will be so diminished

343
00:18:59.960 --> 00:19:02.200
or dismissed and the brokenness,

344
00:19:02.200 --> 00:19:07.200
and just there's so many impacts of this pathway.

345
00:19:07.200 --> 00:19:10.960
And I believe as an apostolic mother and a prophet

346
00:19:10.960 --> 00:19:14.240
that we are in a unique time, you guys.

347
00:19:14.240 --> 00:19:17.280
The Lord is saying, who is going to stand in the gap

348
00:19:17.280 --> 00:19:19.400
and say, we will not lose the identity

349
00:19:19.400 --> 00:19:21.440
of a generation on my watch?

350
00:19:23.600 --> 00:19:24.880
I'm serious.

351
00:19:26.320 --> 00:19:28.280
Do you feel that?

352
00:19:28.280 --> 00:19:32.000
I feel that we have a responsibility as prophets,

353
00:19:32.000 --> 00:19:36.520
as kingdom believers, as people who hear the voice of God,

354
00:19:36.520 --> 00:19:40.040
that this cannot happen on our watch, you guys.

355
00:19:40.040 --> 00:19:41.760
We have a responsibility.

356
00:19:41.760 --> 00:19:44.160
Dana was talking about this the first night,

357
00:19:45.000 --> 00:19:46.440
but there's a cloud of promises.

358
00:19:46.440 --> 00:19:49.560
God's yes is already here, and he's looking for those

359
00:19:49.560 --> 00:19:52.040
who will take a declaration of responsibility

360
00:19:52.040 --> 00:19:55.080
and say, God, I will choose to be a solution

361
00:19:55.080 --> 00:19:57.800
for where I'm called to be in this area.

362
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:04.060
We will not lose the identity of a generation

363
00:20:04.060 --> 00:20:06.460
because I refuse to do something about it.

364
00:20:07.720 --> 00:20:10.560
This is what Reformers is about, you guys.

365
00:20:10.560 --> 00:20:14.280
Like, we wanna inspire you, we wanna equip you,

366
00:20:14.280 --> 00:20:16.880
but you've gotta go out and be deployed.

367
00:20:18.400 --> 00:20:19.680
You've gotta take this,

368
00:20:19.680 --> 00:20:21.760
and you've gotta take the ownership for it,

369
00:20:21.760 --> 00:20:23.080
and you've got to run.

370
00:20:23.080 --> 00:20:25.520
Now, why is the enemy trying to kill identity?

371
00:20:25.520 --> 00:20:29.100
Because he is afraid of sons and daughters

372
00:20:29.140 --> 00:20:30.640
knowing who they are.

373
00:20:31.660 --> 00:20:34.000
There's nothing, listen to me,

374
00:20:34.000 --> 00:20:36.460
there's nothing more powerful on this earth

375
00:20:36.460 --> 00:20:38.520
and more dangerous to the devil

376
00:20:38.520 --> 00:20:41.860
than a believer walking fully in their heavenly identity.

377
00:20:43.940 --> 00:20:44.780
It's true.

378
00:20:45.700 --> 00:20:50.380
We cannot reform culture without redeeming identity.

379
00:20:51.300 --> 00:20:54.860
And again, if we want to truly reform culture,

380
00:20:54.860 --> 00:20:59.340
we must understand God's original heart and design

381
00:20:59.340 --> 00:21:02.780
and even prophetic call to the people around us.

382
00:21:02.780 --> 00:21:05.620
And so what I wanna do today is I wanna give you

383
00:21:05.620 --> 00:21:10.540
what I believe the prophetic is a major piece and component

384
00:21:10.540 --> 00:21:15.540
and an answer to this area, okay?

385
00:21:15.540 --> 00:21:17.620
I believe, like, I'm a practical person,

386
00:21:17.620 --> 00:21:18.820
I'm a prophetic person,

387
00:21:18.820 --> 00:21:21.980
but I also wanna know, like, how do I take this

388
00:21:21.980 --> 00:21:23.500
and how do I walk this out

389
00:21:23.500 --> 00:21:25.900
so I can actually see transformation?

390
00:21:25.900 --> 00:21:27.140
You guys with me on that?

391
00:21:27.140 --> 00:21:30.940
And so what I wanna do is I wanna actually give you guys

392
00:21:30.940 --> 00:21:35.660
practical keys to discovering prophetic identity

393
00:21:35.660 --> 00:21:39.360
or heavenly identity, not only so it can impact your life,

394
00:21:39.360 --> 00:21:42.820
but so that you have tools to speak to those around you

395
00:21:42.820 --> 00:21:45.940
and speak the truth of who God says someone is

396
00:21:45.940 --> 00:21:49.300
so that they can walk into the fullness of their destiny.

397
00:21:49.300 --> 00:21:51.300
So I wanna share with you, first of all,

398
00:21:51.300 --> 00:21:55.460
the two most important questions in the kingdom of God

399
00:21:55.460 --> 00:21:59.740
can be found in Matthew 16, verses 16 through 19.

400
00:21:59.740 --> 00:22:02.620
And it's this, Jesus is talking to his disciples

401
00:22:02.620 --> 00:22:04.980
and he says, you know, different people say,

402
00:22:04.980 --> 00:22:08.020
I'm this and this, who do you say I am, right?

403
00:22:08.020 --> 00:22:11.480
And Peter turns to him, he says, you are the Messiah,

404
00:22:11.480 --> 00:22:13.380
you are the son of God.

405
00:22:13.380 --> 00:22:16.280
And Jesus said, blessed are you, Simon Barjona,

406
00:22:16.280 --> 00:22:18.940
for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you,

407
00:22:18.940 --> 00:22:20.780
but my father in heaven.

408
00:22:20.780 --> 00:22:22.540
And then Jesus proceeds to say,

409
00:22:22.540 --> 00:22:24.340
and I tell you that you are Peter,

410
00:22:24.340 --> 00:22:27.140
and on this rock, I will build my church.

411
00:22:27.140 --> 00:22:29.880
So in this particular passage,

412
00:22:29.880 --> 00:22:33.100
we can see two of the most important questions.

413
00:22:33.100 --> 00:22:36.340
The first is this, who do you say that Christ is?

414
00:22:38.140 --> 00:22:39.540
Who do you say Christ is?

415
00:22:39.540 --> 00:22:42.160
And the second is, who does he say I am?

416
00:22:44.060 --> 00:22:47.920
Guys, this will radically transform our lives

417
00:22:47.920 --> 00:22:49.540
and those that we're impacting.

418
00:22:49.540 --> 00:22:52.020
See, once Peter, first of all,

419
00:22:52.020 --> 00:22:54.700
had to have a revelation of who Jesus was, right?

420
00:22:54.700 --> 00:22:55.540
Who are you?

421
00:22:55.540 --> 00:22:56.900
You are the Christ, you are the Messiah,

422
00:22:56.900 --> 00:22:58.820
the son of the living God, okay?

423
00:22:58.820 --> 00:23:01.060
And then once that was affirmed,

424
00:23:01.060 --> 00:23:03.740
then Jesus said, okay, now you are Peter.

425
00:23:03.740 --> 00:23:06.060
This is who I say that you are.

426
00:23:06.060 --> 00:23:09.380
And so the first question, who do you say Christ is,

427
00:23:09.380 --> 00:23:12.940
relates to Christ's identity, right?

428
00:23:12.940 --> 00:23:17.820
The second question speaks to our heavenly identity.

429
00:23:19.860 --> 00:23:22.780
Now, what is heavenly identity?

430
00:23:22.780 --> 00:23:25.860
I'm gonna just break it down really simply.

431
00:23:25.860 --> 00:23:29.300
We're gonna say heavenly identity or prophetic identity.

432
00:23:29.300 --> 00:23:31.460
I'll probably interchange those terms a little bit,

433
00:23:31.460 --> 00:23:34.100
but this is what it is, very simply put.

434
00:23:34.100 --> 00:23:37.700
Heavenly identity is who God says we are.

435
00:23:39.340 --> 00:23:40.180
That's it.

436
00:23:40.180 --> 00:23:41.860
It's who God says you are.

437
00:23:41.860 --> 00:23:44.140
It's our truest identity.

438
00:23:44.140 --> 00:23:45.940
It's who you really are.

439
00:23:45.940 --> 00:23:48.380
It's not who you think you are,

440
00:23:48.380 --> 00:23:50.060
who you think you should be,

441
00:23:50.060 --> 00:23:51.820
what others think you should be.

442
00:23:51.820 --> 00:23:54.140
It's who God says you are.

443
00:23:54.140 --> 00:23:55.900
In fact, you could even say

444
00:23:55.900 --> 00:23:58.580
that your heavenly identity is who you've always been.

445
00:24:00.820 --> 00:24:02.740
Because heaven sees you this way.

446
00:24:02.740 --> 00:24:04.980
Heaven created you from the foundations of the earth.

447
00:24:04.980 --> 00:24:06.980
The Lord created you from the foundations of the earth.

448
00:24:06.980 --> 00:24:08.020
He saw you.

449
00:24:08.020 --> 00:24:10.140
It's who heaven says you are.

450
00:24:10.140 --> 00:24:11.580
I love this saying that Dano says.

451
00:24:11.580 --> 00:24:14.620
He says, the truest thing about you in the universe

452
00:24:14.620 --> 00:24:16.740
is who God says you are.

453
00:24:16.780 --> 00:24:18.980
Now, why should identity matter?

454
00:24:18.980 --> 00:24:22.180
Because I really want you to see here the link,

455
00:24:22.180 --> 00:24:25.700
the connection between identity and destiny.

456
00:24:25.700 --> 00:24:30.060
See, your perception of your identity matters,

457
00:24:30.060 --> 00:24:33.620
both good and bad, because it will affect your future.

458
00:24:33.620 --> 00:24:36.900
Let me give you some examples of people in the scriptures

459
00:24:36.900 --> 00:24:38.620
that had a wrong identity.

460
00:24:38.620 --> 00:24:41.100
First of all, there was the Israelites, right,

461
00:24:41.100 --> 00:24:43.020
when they were going into the promised land

462
00:24:43.020 --> 00:24:44.300
and they sent out the spies.

463
00:24:44.300 --> 00:24:45.900
You guys know this story.

464
00:24:45.900 --> 00:24:49.820
And they came back and two spies gave a good report.

465
00:24:49.820 --> 00:24:52.220
And the 10 bad spies said,

466
00:24:52.220 --> 00:24:55.060
yeah, the land is beautiful, everything is great,

467
00:24:55.060 --> 00:24:59.740
but we were like grasshoppers in our own eyes.

468
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:02.960
Because they had a false identity,

469
00:25:02.960 --> 00:25:05.640
they saw themselves as too small.

470
00:25:05.640 --> 00:25:07.800
They took their eyes off of who God was,

471
00:25:07.800 --> 00:25:11.200
and they saw themselves with this inferior identity.

472
00:25:11.200 --> 00:25:13.340
It cost them the promised land.

473
00:25:14.280 --> 00:25:17.680
Even Moses, when God came to Moses and said,

474
00:25:17.680 --> 00:25:20.940
I need a free man to bring a slaved people

475
00:25:20.940 --> 00:25:23.320
and slaved people into freedom.

476
00:25:23.320 --> 00:25:26.120
He's like, I've called you to be the deliverer.

477
00:25:26.120 --> 00:25:29.320
Moses had an issue with himself.

478
00:25:29.400 --> 00:25:32.520
He said, God, I am not eloquent enough

479
00:25:32.520 --> 00:25:34.160
to deliver your people.

480
00:25:35.520 --> 00:25:37.320
That was an identity crisis.

481
00:25:37.320 --> 00:25:39.920
That was a wrong identity.

482
00:25:39.920 --> 00:25:42.840
He saw himself a different way.

483
00:25:42.840 --> 00:25:46.320
Okay, if Moses had continued to believe

484
00:25:46.320 --> 00:25:48.120
the lie of that identity,

485
00:25:48.120 --> 00:25:51.160
he would not have become the deliverer of Israel.

486
00:25:51.160 --> 00:25:52.960
It impacted his destiny.

487
00:25:52.960 --> 00:25:55.880
It could have impacted his destiny.

488
00:25:55.880 --> 00:25:59.640
And this is why the enemy will always attack your identity

489
00:25:59.640 --> 00:26:02.360
because your identity determines your destiny.

490
00:26:05.360 --> 00:26:09.640
Okay, what you believe about your identity

491
00:26:09.640 --> 00:26:12.040
will either promote you into destiny

492
00:26:12.040 --> 00:26:13.600
or cause you to forfeit it.

493
00:26:16.480 --> 00:26:19.680
What you believe about your destiny

494
00:26:19.680 --> 00:26:22.120
will either promote you into destiny

495
00:26:22.120 --> 00:26:23.680
or cause you to forfeit it.

496
00:26:23.680 --> 00:26:24.640
And I can hear people say,

497
00:26:24.640 --> 00:26:25.840
well, I just, you know,

498
00:26:27.000 --> 00:26:28.800
why should it matter what I believe?

499
00:26:28.800 --> 00:26:32.200
Because what you believe is where your agreement is.

500
00:26:34.880 --> 00:26:35.800
Right?

501
00:26:35.800 --> 00:26:38.640
Whatever you're believing about your identity,

502
00:26:38.640 --> 00:26:40.000
that's where your agreement is

503
00:26:40.000 --> 00:26:41.840
and that's where the power is.

504
00:26:41.840 --> 00:26:44.320
So if you're, sure, you can all day long,

505
00:26:44.320 --> 00:26:45.600
God is saying stuff over you,

506
00:26:45.600 --> 00:26:47.360
but you're not agreeing with it yet.

507
00:26:47.360 --> 00:26:49.000
You're not believing it yet.

508
00:26:49.000 --> 00:26:51.160
And so whatever you're listening to,

509
00:26:51.160 --> 00:26:53.360
whatever voices, and I'm not gonna go into that,

510
00:26:53.360 --> 00:26:56.840
but whatever, it just matters

511
00:26:56.840 --> 00:26:58.920
what your perception of your identity is.

512
00:26:58.920 --> 00:27:02.000
So I'm gonna share the story about my daughter.

513
00:27:02.000 --> 00:27:04.960
So when she was young, when she was about two or three,

514
00:27:04.960 --> 00:27:07.680
I would take her like on little mommy errands

515
00:27:07.680 --> 00:27:08.520
and stuff like that.

516
00:27:08.520 --> 00:27:11.240
And as we would go into the store,

517
00:27:11.240 --> 00:27:12.880
I would see some friends and I'd be like,

518
00:27:12.880 --> 00:27:15.720
hey, Faith, can you say hi to so-and-so?

519
00:27:15.720 --> 00:27:17.200
And she would do this thing

520
00:27:17.200 --> 00:27:20.200
where she would kind of get this like scowl on her face

521
00:27:20.200 --> 00:27:21.040
and kind of grunt.

522
00:27:21.040 --> 00:27:22.160
And she'd be like, ah,

523
00:27:22.160 --> 00:27:24.320
like just like kind of like over to the side.

524
00:27:24.320 --> 00:27:26.080
And it was a little bit rude

525
00:27:26.080 --> 00:27:28.760
and it was like uncharacteristic of her.

526
00:27:28.760 --> 00:27:31.240
And she did it enough times that I'm like,

527
00:27:31.240 --> 00:27:32.280
you know, I need to talk to her.

528
00:27:32.280 --> 00:27:35.920
Now, first of all, I'm fine with my child not being perfect.

529
00:27:35.920 --> 00:27:37.560
That was not what this was about.

530
00:27:37.560 --> 00:27:39.760
I recognize there was something at work here

531
00:27:39.760 --> 00:27:41.560
that was not normal to her.

532
00:27:41.560 --> 00:27:43.760
So I sat her down and I was like, hey, honey,

533
00:27:43.760 --> 00:27:44.880
when mommy introduces you,

534
00:27:44.880 --> 00:27:47.040
I'd love for you to say, you know, hello,

535
00:27:47.040 --> 00:27:50.360
or just, you know, don't grunt and really look away.

536
00:27:51.120 --> 00:27:52.680
And she's like, I can't.

537
00:27:52.680 --> 00:27:55.720
She's like, I shy, mommy, I shy.

538
00:27:55.720 --> 00:27:58.240
Okay, as a mother,

539
00:27:58.240 --> 00:28:02.620
I understood and believe that shy is a lie from the enemy.

540
00:28:03.840 --> 00:28:06.600
Guys, shy is not one of the fruits of the Spirit.

541
00:28:09.920 --> 00:28:12.000
I have too many friends that I know

542
00:28:12.000 --> 00:28:16.520
that shy was paralyzing to their destiny

543
00:28:16.520 --> 00:28:18.760
because they believed that for decades

544
00:28:18.760 --> 00:28:20.880
until they got free from it.

545
00:28:20.880 --> 00:28:24.320
Guys, it is not, it is, shy is a lie from the enemy.

546
00:28:24.320 --> 00:28:26.040
And if you're in the room right now

547
00:28:26.040 --> 00:28:28.640
and that's something that's been declared over you,

548
00:28:28.640 --> 00:28:31.720
you know, we learned this yesterday, you can flush that.

549
00:28:31.720 --> 00:28:34.760
You can flush that because that is not your identity.

550
00:28:34.760 --> 00:28:37.360
And so I would say, honey, you're not shy.

551
00:28:37.360 --> 00:28:42.200
You got the lion of the tribe of Judah living inside of you.

552
00:28:42.200 --> 00:28:44.360
And he is roaring inside of you.

553
00:28:44.360 --> 00:28:47.760
Like I would speak that over her, over her.

554
00:28:47.760 --> 00:28:49.000
And I would never stop.

555
00:28:49.000 --> 00:28:51.760
And within probably like, I don't know, a few months,

556
00:28:51.760 --> 00:28:55.460
I started to notice a change in her when we would go out.

557
00:28:55.460 --> 00:28:57.600
She would start to say, hey, like I would introduce her

558
00:28:57.600 --> 00:28:58.680
and she'd be like, hi.

559
00:28:58.680 --> 00:29:01.440
And then today, out of all three of my children,

560
00:29:01.440 --> 00:29:05.480
she is by far the most bold and she is like relational

561
00:29:05.480 --> 00:29:07.200
and she will walk up to anybody.

562
00:29:07.200 --> 00:29:10.660
There is not an ounce of shy in that child, right, Faith?

563
00:29:10.660 --> 00:29:15.660
Okay, why am I, why did I bring that up?

564
00:29:16.500 --> 00:29:21.220
Because there was a perception about her identity

565
00:29:21.220 --> 00:29:25.340
that I knew the enemy was trying to rob her destiny with.

566
00:29:25.340 --> 00:29:28.780
And so what you believe, again, about your identity

567
00:29:28.780 --> 00:29:30.380
will either promote you into destiny

568
00:29:30.380 --> 00:29:31.460
or cause you to forfeit it.

569
00:29:31.460 --> 00:29:34.700
This is why the enemy is working so hard

570
00:29:34.700 --> 00:29:37.420
to destroy a generation's identity

571
00:29:37.420 --> 00:29:40.780
because he knows that we're the feet of Christ.

572
00:29:40.780 --> 00:29:42.020
We're the body of Christ.

573
00:29:42.020 --> 00:29:45.200
We're the ones that are supposed to crush him under our heel.

574
00:29:46.040 --> 00:29:48.200
And if we don't even know if we're a man or a woman,

575
00:29:48.200 --> 00:29:50.120
how are we going to fulfill the destiny

576
00:29:50.120 --> 00:29:51.820
that God has given us?

577
00:29:53.160 --> 00:29:55.240
This matters, you guys.

578
00:29:55.240 --> 00:29:57.480
I'm telling you, we're on a precipice right now.

579
00:29:57.480 --> 00:29:59.600
We have an opportunity right now.

580
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:02.920
mothers and fathers, as prophetic people,

581
00:30:02.920 --> 00:30:05.120
as believers in the body of Christ,

582
00:30:05.120 --> 00:30:06.680
to be an answer to the solution,

583
00:30:06.680 --> 00:30:08.960
because honestly, it's affecting all of us.

584
00:30:10.300 --> 00:30:12.000
But we have a solution.

585
00:30:12.000 --> 00:30:16.160
So, I don't just want to talk about the problem, okay?

586
00:30:16.160 --> 00:30:18.560
I'm not just gonna get you all hyped up and like,

587
00:30:18.560 --> 00:30:19.940
yes, this is a problem.

588
00:30:19.940 --> 00:30:23.040
I want to actually give you guys what I believe,

589
00:30:23.040 --> 00:30:26.840
with my whole heart, is a heavenly solution to this.

590
00:30:27.720 --> 00:30:28.560
Okay?

591
00:30:28.560 --> 00:30:30.560
What I want to do, you know how Chris was talking about,

592
00:30:30.560 --> 00:30:34.400
we need to see people as future-present,

593
00:30:34.400 --> 00:30:36.760
present-future, not past-present?

594
00:30:36.760 --> 00:30:38.080
Well, how do you do that?

595
00:30:38.080 --> 00:30:40.760
How do you practically see somebody

596
00:30:40.760 --> 00:30:42.700
according to who God says they are?

597
00:30:42.700 --> 00:30:44.920
How do you actually look at a person

598
00:30:44.920 --> 00:30:48.000
and see them according to their heavenly man?

599
00:30:48.000 --> 00:30:51.300
I'm gonna give you guys three access points

600
00:30:51.300 --> 00:30:54.560
for recognizing heavenly identity, all right?

601
00:30:54.560 --> 00:30:55.600
These are gonna be practical,

602
00:30:55.600 --> 00:30:57.520
but they're also very prophetic.

603
00:30:57.520 --> 00:30:59.240
So, the first one is this,

604
00:30:59.240 --> 00:31:01.000
and this might sound super generic,

605
00:31:01.000 --> 00:31:04.360
but I'm gonna break it down for you, is scripture.

606
00:31:04.360 --> 00:31:05.200
Okay?

607
00:31:05.200 --> 00:31:06.020
Scripture.

608
00:31:06.020 --> 00:31:08.680
We're talking about how to discover heavenly identity.

609
00:31:08.680 --> 00:31:11.920
So, growing up, my siblings, my brother and sister,

610
00:31:11.920 --> 00:31:14.480
they used to tease me that I was the milkman's daughter.

611
00:31:14.480 --> 00:31:15.920
I don't know why.

612
00:31:15.920 --> 00:31:19.200
And at the time, I didn't understand how babies were born,

613
00:31:19.200 --> 00:31:20.680
so it really impacted me.

614
00:31:20.680 --> 00:31:22.120
And you know how kids are.

615
00:31:22.120 --> 00:31:23.880
And it was just kind of funny.

616
00:31:23.880 --> 00:31:25.860
It traumatized me, because you know why?

617
00:31:25.860 --> 00:31:28.920
I loved my father, and I wanted to be his daughter.

618
00:31:29.940 --> 00:31:34.820
And I wanted to know what family I belonged to.

619
00:31:36.100 --> 00:31:38.720
And so, the first place in discovering

620
00:31:38.720 --> 00:31:40.660
your heavenly identity is to find out

621
00:31:40.660 --> 00:31:42.720
what family you belong to.

622
00:31:43.800 --> 00:31:46.620
One of the things that we like to say in prophetic company

623
00:31:46.620 --> 00:31:48.980
is that the Bible gives us our last name,

624
00:31:48.980 --> 00:31:51.080
and prophecy gives us our first name.

625
00:31:52.980 --> 00:31:55.160
Okay, I'm gonna unpack that a little bit for you.

626
00:31:55.160 --> 00:31:57.080
So, I believe that just as the Bible

627
00:31:57.080 --> 00:31:59.780
gives the physical genealogy of Jesus, right?

628
00:31:59.780 --> 00:32:02.760
It's from Adam all the way down to Jesus.

629
00:32:02.760 --> 00:32:04.520
I believe that Scripture also gives

630
00:32:04.520 --> 00:32:08.160
a spiritual genealogy for believers.

631
00:32:08.160 --> 00:32:11.660
It tells every son and daughter who they are

632
00:32:11.660 --> 00:32:13.420
and what family they belong to.

633
00:32:14.520 --> 00:32:16.880
So, in the natural, you guys,

634
00:32:16.880 --> 00:32:19.780
our last names, or our surnames,

635
00:32:19.780 --> 00:32:22.760
connect us to our family, right?

636
00:32:22.760 --> 00:32:25.320
It tells you that you're connected to your parents,

637
00:32:25.320 --> 00:32:26.680
to your brother or your sister,

638
00:32:26.680 --> 00:32:28.680
to that crazy aunt or uncle

639
00:32:28.680 --> 00:32:30.040
that you wish you weren't connected to,

640
00:32:30.040 --> 00:32:32.200
but you still have that same last name, right?

641
00:32:32.200 --> 00:32:34.880
It's showing you who your family line is.

642
00:32:34.880 --> 00:32:37.480
And it also, in the same way,

643
00:32:37.480 --> 00:32:41.360
these last names given to us in Scripture

644
00:32:41.360 --> 00:32:44.680
connect us not only to our heavenly Father,

645
00:32:44.680 --> 00:32:45.860
but to one another.

646
00:32:46.780 --> 00:32:48.420
We all have the same last name.

647
00:32:49.840 --> 00:32:51.440
Did you know that?

648
00:32:51.440 --> 00:32:53.040
We all have the same last name.

649
00:32:53.040 --> 00:32:57.720
So, I wanna give you just a few of our last names,

650
00:32:57.720 --> 00:32:59.840
our heavenly identity family names, okay,

651
00:32:59.840 --> 00:33:00.840
that every believer has.

652
00:33:00.840 --> 00:33:02.720
Ready, number one, child of God.

653
00:33:03.840 --> 00:33:06.400
Galatians 3.26, I'm not gonna read them,

654
00:33:06.400 --> 00:33:07.920
all the passages.

655
00:33:07.920 --> 00:33:10.420
We are a child of God, right?

656
00:33:10.420 --> 00:33:13.800
Number two, co-heirs with Christ.

657
00:33:15.040 --> 00:33:17.480
That's your last name.

658
00:33:17.480 --> 00:33:18.400
You know what that means?

659
00:33:18.400 --> 00:33:20.840
It means that everything that belongs to Jesus

660
00:33:21.280 --> 00:33:22.120
belongs to you.

661
00:33:23.160 --> 00:33:25.120
We are co-heirs with Christ.

662
00:33:25.120 --> 00:33:26.040
How about this?

663
00:33:26.040 --> 00:33:29.960
We are a chosen people, a royal priesthood,

664
00:33:29.960 --> 00:33:33.340
a holy nation, God's special possession.

665
00:33:33.340 --> 00:33:35.680
This is our last name.

666
00:33:35.680 --> 00:33:36.500
How about this?

667
00:33:36.500 --> 00:33:37.920
Citizens of heaven.

668
00:33:39.240 --> 00:33:41.200
Philippians 3.20 to 21.

669
00:33:41.200 --> 00:33:43.000
We are citizens of heaven.

670
00:33:43.000 --> 00:33:44.480
I've been to many countries.

671
00:33:44.480 --> 00:33:47.440
I've been to probably like 25 countries on six continents.

672
00:33:47.440 --> 00:33:49.920
And I love, love traveling.

673
00:33:49.960 --> 00:33:52.040
But when I go to these other countries,

674
00:33:52.040 --> 00:33:55.000
I'm still a US citizen, right?

675
00:33:55.000 --> 00:33:56.960
I couldn't vote in that other country

676
00:33:56.960 --> 00:33:58.200
no matter how much I love it

677
00:33:58.200 --> 00:34:00.560
because I'm a United States citizen.

678
00:34:00.560 --> 00:34:02.840
We are all citizens.

679
00:34:02.840 --> 00:34:05.060
We all have, like we all have a green card

680
00:34:05.060 --> 00:34:06.520
for the earth right now almost.

681
00:34:06.520 --> 00:34:07.360
You know what I mean?

682
00:34:07.360 --> 00:34:10.560
It's like, we're actually citizens of another kingdom

683
00:34:11.679 --> 00:34:13.800
living in the earthly realm right now.

684
00:34:13.800 --> 00:34:17.280
And so every one of us, this is one of our last names.

685
00:34:17.280 --> 00:34:18.120
How about this?

686
00:34:18.159 --> 00:34:20.239
Friends of Christ.

687
00:34:20.239 --> 00:34:21.480
These are last names.

688
00:34:21.480 --> 00:34:22.679
You guys, I know they're like,

689
00:34:22.679 --> 00:34:25.199
oh, friends of Christ, citizens of heaven.

690
00:34:25.199 --> 00:34:26.620
I know we've all heard this before,

691
00:34:26.620 --> 00:34:29.139
but I really want you to catch the lens

692
00:34:29.139 --> 00:34:32.280
because this is gonna help you speak the truth

693
00:34:32.280 --> 00:34:34.520
of someone's heavenly identity to them.

694
00:34:34.520 --> 00:34:35.639
Friends of Christ.

695
00:34:35.639 --> 00:34:39.020
We're no longer servants who don't know what he's doing.

696
00:34:39.020 --> 00:34:40.440
We're his friends.

697
00:34:40.440 --> 00:34:42.739
We are, I love this, a new creation.

698
00:34:44.120 --> 00:34:46.920
Never before been seen on earth.

699
00:34:46.920 --> 00:34:49.520
We are a new creation.

700
00:34:49.520 --> 00:34:50.520
We are saints.

701
00:34:50.520 --> 00:34:52.920
Come on, why would we still identify as sinners

702
00:34:52.920 --> 00:34:55.159
if he's called us saints?

703
00:34:55.159 --> 00:34:57.000
Too many people, too many believers

704
00:34:57.000 --> 00:34:59.400
are still identifying themselves as sinners.

705
00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:01.200
Last name alone.

706
00:35:01.200 --> 00:35:03.240
Come on, think about this.

707
00:35:03.240 --> 00:35:05.400
As a last name, if you're walking around,

708
00:35:05.400 --> 00:35:09.680
I'm a sinner, I'm a sinner, I'm a sinner.

709
00:35:09.680 --> 00:35:11.400
Can you see like the heaviness?

710
00:35:11.400 --> 00:35:12.920
It's like you feel like you're constantly

711
00:35:12.920 --> 00:35:15.820
trying to dig yourself up out of something.

712
00:35:15.820 --> 00:35:19.320
I'm a saint, I'm a saint.

713
00:35:19.320 --> 00:35:21.320
I'm beloved, I'm a saint.

714
00:35:21.320 --> 00:35:24.040
You see how it's already shifted like a posture

715
00:35:24.040 --> 00:35:25.080
or the way that you're thinking.

716
00:35:25.080 --> 00:35:26.360
This is one of your last names.

717
00:35:26.360 --> 00:35:29.640
You guys, you get to claim these last names

718
00:35:29.640 --> 00:35:31.980
whether you feel like it or not.

719
00:35:33.000 --> 00:35:36.000
Just like you wish that crazy uncle wasn't in your family,

720
00:35:36.000 --> 00:35:38.700
it doesn't matter, they have the same last name.

721
00:35:39.560 --> 00:35:42.940
It doesn't matter what you do, this is who you are.

722
00:35:44.900 --> 00:35:47.640
Light of the world, this is one of your last names.

723
00:35:47.640 --> 00:35:50.480
You are the light of the world.

724
00:35:50.480 --> 00:35:53.480
Okay, so a few years ago, we were in Australia

725
00:35:53.480 --> 00:35:56.400
with a friend of ours who was running a conference.

726
00:35:56.400 --> 00:35:59.440
She's a powerful prophet in Australia.

727
00:36:00.240 --> 00:36:01.520
And I remember we were kind of in the back room

728
00:36:01.520 --> 00:36:03.940
and her daughter, her name was,

729
00:36:03.940 --> 00:36:07.160
her daughter, their last name was Waterman.

730
00:36:07.160 --> 00:36:10.620
And so her daughter who was maybe 12 at the time,

731
00:36:10.620 --> 00:36:12.560
I noticed that she was starting to kind of like

732
00:36:12.560 --> 00:36:15.200
help clean up and stuff like that with all the volunteers.

733
00:36:15.200 --> 00:36:17.160
And somebody went up to her and they said,

734
00:36:17.160 --> 00:36:19.920
hey, you don't need to clean up anymore.

735
00:36:19.920 --> 00:36:21.600
We've got a team that can do this.

736
00:36:21.600 --> 00:36:23.640
And she looked at them and she said,

737
00:36:23.640 --> 00:36:25.860
well, I'm a waterman, this is what we do.

738
00:36:26.060 --> 00:36:26.900
Wow.

739
00:36:29.220 --> 00:36:33.300
She understood that as part of her family name,

740
00:36:33.300 --> 00:36:37.300
that this was a responsibility and a joy and a delight.

741
00:36:37.300 --> 00:36:39.380
And she understood that at age 11 or 12.

742
00:36:39.380 --> 00:36:42.380
Okay, let's rephrase this a little

743
00:36:42.380 --> 00:36:44.260
with our heavenly identity.

744
00:36:44.260 --> 00:36:46.820
I'm a child of God, this is what we do.

745
00:36:50.240 --> 00:36:53.020
I'm a citizen of heaven, this is what we do.

746
00:36:54.020 --> 00:36:57.580
I'm a new creation, this is what we do.

747
00:36:59.220 --> 00:37:02.680
I'm the light of the world, this is what we do.

748
00:37:03.580 --> 00:37:07.500
Do you guys feel that shift of identity?

749
00:37:07.500 --> 00:37:10.900
When you start to own who God says you are,

750
00:37:10.900 --> 00:37:15.480
you will start to do and you will flow from that place.

751
00:37:15.480 --> 00:37:16.420
I'm the light of the world.

752
00:37:16.420 --> 00:37:18.820
When you show up into a dark place,

753
00:37:18.820 --> 00:37:22.020
you don't have to do anything other than show up.

754
00:37:22.020 --> 00:37:22.840
Why?

755
00:37:22.840 --> 00:37:24.660
I'm the light of the world, this is what we do.

756
00:37:24.660 --> 00:37:26.860
The light dispels the darkness.

757
00:37:26.860 --> 00:37:28.780
And then you live from there.

758
00:37:28.780 --> 00:37:33.780
The sun doesn't worry about doing the shining.

759
00:37:33.820 --> 00:37:35.160
Do you know what I mean?

760
00:37:35.160 --> 00:37:38.420
The sun just shows up because that's who it is

761
00:37:38.420 --> 00:37:40.420
and it shines and it's the same for us.

762
00:37:40.420 --> 00:37:43.220
This is who we are, this is what we do.

763
00:37:43.220 --> 00:37:47.780
So again, the first key to discovering

764
00:37:47.780 --> 00:37:50.220
your heavenly identity and also your ability

765
00:37:50.220 --> 00:37:54.180
to discover it for others around you is in scripture.

766
00:37:54.180 --> 00:37:57.140
We need to shift our mindset to embrace

767
00:37:57.140 --> 00:38:00.380
who the Bible says our kingdom family is.

768
00:38:00.380 --> 00:38:04.780
Our second area that we can access prophetic identity

769
00:38:04.780 --> 00:38:07.900
is prophecy, prophecy.

770
00:38:07.900 --> 00:38:09.100
Again, we said this earlier,

771
00:38:09.100 --> 00:38:11.260
the Bible gives us our last name

772
00:38:11.260 --> 00:38:14.620
and prophecy gives us our first name.

773
00:38:14.620 --> 00:38:19.620
So just as the Bible tells you who we all are collectively

774
00:38:19.980 --> 00:38:21.860
as the family of God, right?

775
00:38:21.860 --> 00:38:24.940
Prophecy speaks to the uniqueness

776
00:38:24.940 --> 00:38:28.620
of who God created you specifically to be, right?

777
00:38:28.620 --> 00:38:31.420
So it calls out what makes you different

778
00:38:31.420 --> 00:38:33.420
than your siblings, than your parents,

779
00:38:33.420 --> 00:38:35.060
than your aunt or uncle, right?

780
00:38:35.060 --> 00:38:36.660
It gives you your first name.

781
00:38:36.660 --> 00:38:39.380
And so remember, we saw this in Matthew 16

782
00:38:39.380 --> 00:38:43.260
when Peter saw, when he correctly identified the Lord,

783
00:38:43.260 --> 00:38:45.060
the Lord said, you are Peter.

784
00:38:45.060 --> 00:38:47.500
And on this rock, I will build my church.

785
00:38:47.500 --> 00:38:48.720
What was happening there?

786
00:38:48.760 --> 00:38:53.040
Jesus was speaking to Peter's prophetic identity,

787
00:38:53.040 --> 00:38:54.960
to his heavenly identity.

788
00:38:54.960 --> 00:38:57.880
And so again, one of the things we pray all the time,

789
00:38:57.880 --> 00:39:01.840
like Lord, let it be on earth as it is in heaven, right?

790
00:39:01.840 --> 00:39:03.680
We pray that all the time,

791
00:39:03.680 --> 00:39:06.840
but did you know that one of the most practical ways

792
00:39:06.840 --> 00:39:09.360
that you can fulfill Jesus's prayer

793
00:39:09.360 --> 00:39:12.840
is to live out your prophetic identity?

794
00:39:12.840 --> 00:39:13.880
Because now you're like,

795
00:39:13.880 --> 00:39:16.680
may I be on earth as I'm known in heaven.

796
00:39:16.760 --> 00:39:17.600
Ooh.

797
00:39:18.680 --> 00:39:21.320
That makes a shift, right?

798
00:39:21.320 --> 00:39:23.940
Let me be on earth as I am in heaven.

799
00:39:26.880 --> 00:39:29.880
I've also been a worship leader for like over 20 years

800
00:39:29.880 --> 00:39:32.520
and 25 years now.

801
00:39:32.520 --> 00:39:35.740
And I remember probably about 10, 15 years ago,

802
00:39:35.740 --> 00:39:38.880
I was leading worship on a little community church,

803
00:39:38.880 --> 00:39:41.960
small community church in the mountains,

804
00:39:41.960 --> 00:39:43.200
actually in Mammoth Lakes.

805
00:39:43.200 --> 00:39:45.520
I don't know if anyone's ever been up to Mammoth Lakes.

806
00:39:45.520 --> 00:39:50.400
And I was there and I remember one time a prophet came

807
00:39:50.400 --> 00:39:53.600
and he told me something that completely shifted my life.

808
00:39:53.600 --> 00:39:55.360
He told me, he said, Bethany,

809
00:39:55.360 --> 00:39:57.700
you're not a worship leader who prophesies,

810
00:39:57.700 --> 00:39:59.560
you're a prophet who leads worship.

811
00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:03.460
And in that moment, something like,

812
00:40:03.460 --> 00:40:05.120
I don't even know how to explain it,

813
00:40:05.120 --> 00:40:08.400
but it's like something came in a calibration inside of me

814
00:40:08.400 --> 00:40:10.200
and it clicked into gear.

815
00:40:10.200 --> 00:40:11.960
And it's not just to play on words

816
00:40:11.960 --> 00:40:15.440
because as a worship leader who prophesies,

817
00:40:15.440 --> 00:40:19.360
I would play my guitar and I'd be like singing the songs

818
00:40:19.360 --> 00:40:21.720
and I'd be looking to see where God might come.

819
00:40:21.720 --> 00:40:23.440
Like, is he gonna come in this song?

820
00:40:23.440 --> 00:40:25.080
Is he gonna come on this area?

821
00:40:25.080 --> 00:40:27.040
You know, it's like you're constantly looking to see

822
00:40:27.040 --> 00:40:29.440
where God might show up prophetically.

823
00:40:29.440 --> 00:40:32.260
But as a prophet who leads worship,

824
00:40:32.260 --> 00:40:34.880
I realized that I am the very conduit

825
00:40:34.880 --> 00:40:36.600
through which the grace of God

826
00:40:36.600 --> 00:40:38.560
was gonna be released into the room.

827
00:40:38.560 --> 00:40:43.560
So the first drum of my guitar, prophetic grace is released.

828
00:40:43.620 --> 00:40:47.560
The first note I sing, prophetic grace is released.

829
00:40:47.560 --> 00:40:50.280
So I learned that I'm no longer

830
00:40:50.280 --> 00:40:52.080
just looking for the breakthrough.

831
00:40:52.080 --> 00:40:53.700
I am the breakthrough.

832
00:40:53.700 --> 00:40:54.540
Amen.

833
00:40:54.540 --> 00:40:55.360
Amen.

834
00:40:55.360 --> 00:40:56.200
Amen.

835
00:40:56.200 --> 00:40:57.040
Amen.

836
00:40:57.040 --> 00:41:00.640
This was a shift in my heavenly identity

837
00:41:00.640 --> 00:41:03.500
because I now started to take ownership

838
00:41:03.500 --> 00:41:05.440
of who God said I was

839
00:41:05.440 --> 00:41:08.840
and there was therefore an acceleration of my destiny.

840
00:41:11.000 --> 00:41:14.000
When you believe who God says you are,

841
00:41:14.000 --> 00:41:16.720
that will accelerate your destiny, you guys.

842
00:41:17.600 --> 00:41:20.820
And so again, the prophetic is a key

843
00:41:20.820 --> 00:41:23.280
to how we live our lives,

844
00:41:23.280 --> 00:41:26.000
how we fulfill what God has called us to.

845
00:41:26.080 --> 00:41:28.280
And what does that even look like practically?

846
00:41:28.280 --> 00:41:29.300
Well, honestly, I mean,

847
00:41:29.300 --> 00:41:31.700
I now have a collection of prophetic words

848
00:41:31.700 --> 00:41:33.440
that I've learned how to process

849
00:41:33.440 --> 00:41:36.460
and discover my prophetic identity.

850
00:41:36.460 --> 00:41:39.320
And we have wonderful ways on being able to do that.

851
00:41:39.320 --> 00:41:40.920
Dan, I mentioned Michelle to you.

852
00:41:40.920 --> 00:41:42.840
She runs our prophetic processing branch.

853
00:41:42.840 --> 00:41:46.240
There are ways to discover in the anatomy of a word,

854
00:41:46.240 --> 00:41:47.760
like Lindsay was talking about,

855
00:41:47.760 --> 00:41:49.700
who God says you are uniquely.

856
00:41:49.700 --> 00:41:53.220
But what I've learned is that when I show up somewhere

857
00:41:53.220 --> 00:41:55.800
and I feel disqualified,

858
00:41:56.560 --> 00:41:58.200
I don't feel equipped.

859
00:41:58.200 --> 00:42:01.160
I feel like I yelled at my kids this morning,

860
00:42:01.160 --> 00:42:03.280
and you know you're supposed to get up and speak

861
00:42:03.280 --> 00:42:04.800
or show up to that business meeting

862
00:42:04.800 --> 00:42:07.520
or do whatever you are called to do

863
00:42:07.520 --> 00:42:09.880
and you just don't feel it, right?

864
00:42:09.880 --> 00:42:11.020
You know what I'm saying?

865
00:42:11.020 --> 00:42:12.400
Even minutes before,

866
00:42:12.400 --> 00:42:16.800
what you do is you put on your heavenly identity

867
00:42:16.800 --> 00:42:20.160
like a cloak and you're like, I am a forerunner.

868
00:42:20.160 --> 00:42:22.540
My words shift atmospheres.

869
00:42:22.540 --> 00:42:24.000
I am a breaker.

870
00:42:24.000 --> 00:42:25.840
I have a breaker anointing.

871
00:42:25.840 --> 00:42:28.440
And it's not something that you have to strive

872
00:42:28.440 --> 00:42:29.780
to make happen.

873
00:42:29.780 --> 00:42:32.600
It's something you lean into the goodness of God

874
00:42:32.600 --> 00:42:34.560
because it's who he says you are.

875
00:42:34.560 --> 00:42:36.660
And that shows faith.

876
00:42:38.560 --> 00:42:41.080
Did you know faith pleases God?

877
00:42:41.080 --> 00:42:43.720
When you believe who God says you are,

878
00:42:43.720 --> 00:42:46.080
I believe that's one of the greatest expressions of faith

879
00:42:46.080 --> 00:42:47.800
that you can show.

880
00:42:47.800 --> 00:42:49.940
This is what we are warring against faith.

881
00:42:49.940 --> 00:42:51.840
I mean, if you're not believing who God says you are,

882
00:42:51.840 --> 00:42:53.760
come on, we all know this.

883
00:42:54.560 --> 00:42:55.840
He comes to Gideon,

884
00:42:55.840 --> 00:42:58.880
almighty man of valor, almighty warrior.

885
00:42:59.880 --> 00:43:03.540
Okay, he was hiding in the wine press at that moment,

886
00:43:03.540 --> 00:43:05.880
had never fought a battle.

887
00:43:05.880 --> 00:43:07.760
How much faith do you took for him

888
00:43:07.760 --> 00:43:09.560
to believe who God said he was?

889
00:43:10.680 --> 00:43:13.120
Heaven always sees you greater than you are,

890
00:43:14.380 --> 00:43:16.620
but heaven also sees who you really are.

891
00:43:18.320 --> 00:43:22.320
And so prophecy is a key for discovering

892
00:43:22.320 --> 00:43:24.200
and accessing our prophetic identity.

893
00:43:24.200 --> 00:43:25.640
So those are the first two, right?

894
00:43:25.640 --> 00:43:27.440
Scripture, we get our last name.

895
00:43:27.440 --> 00:43:29.800
Prophecy, we get our first name.

896
00:43:29.800 --> 00:43:31.800
And finally, in our third point,

897
00:43:31.800 --> 00:43:33.540
and I kind of gonna camp here for a little bit

898
00:43:33.540 --> 00:43:35.860
because I believe this is still,

899
00:43:38.520 --> 00:43:41.400
it is somewhat undiscovered.

900
00:43:41.400 --> 00:43:43.520
And actually, Daniel and I are writing a book

901
00:43:43.520 --> 00:43:44.460
on this right now,

902
00:43:44.460 --> 00:43:47.460
but I wanna talk about the prophetic power of your name.

903
00:43:49.700 --> 00:43:51.560
We're gonna talk about names.

904
00:43:52.400 --> 00:43:54.760
Names, let me tell you a few things about names.

905
00:43:54.760 --> 00:43:58.240
Number one, names relate to our authority

906
00:43:58.240 --> 00:43:59.540
and responsibility.

907
00:44:01.680 --> 00:44:04.120
Your name is not just a random thing

908
00:44:04.120 --> 00:44:05.720
that somebody calls you,

909
00:44:05.720 --> 00:44:08.680
it's actually declaring your authority

910
00:44:08.680 --> 00:44:11.600
and your responsibility, right?

911
00:44:11.600 --> 00:44:16.080
So for example, God himself has hundreds of names, right?

912
00:44:16.080 --> 00:44:17.760
Hundreds and hundreds of names.

913
00:44:17.760 --> 00:44:18.600
Why is that?

914
00:44:19.560 --> 00:44:22.600
It's showing us where his authority lies

915
00:44:22.600 --> 00:44:24.280
and even what his responsibility is.

916
00:44:24.280 --> 00:44:26.560
He's a redeemer, he's healer.

917
00:44:26.560 --> 00:44:30.640
It's not just a name, it's telling you his function,

918
00:44:30.640 --> 00:44:32.760
it's telling you what he's going to do

919
00:44:32.760 --> 00:44:34.040
related to that name.

920
00:44:34.040 --> 00:44:36.540
I am a mother to my children.

921
00:44:36.540 --> 00:44:39.800
That's not just what they call me, right?

922
00:44:39.800 --> 00:44:42.640
I have an authority with my children

923
00:44:42.640 --> 00:44:45.660
and a responsibility to take care of them.

924
00:44:45.660 --> 00:44:48.780
So there is a responsibility and authority to my name.

925
00:44:48.780 --> 00:44:51.220
We were in Singapore a few years ago

926
00:44:51.220 --> 00:44:53.840
and we were with a team, Dana was speaking.

927
00:44:53.840 --> 00:44:55.340
And so we had a team of people

928
00:44:55.340 --> 00:44:57.220
and there's multiple services.

929
00:44:57.220 --> 00:44:59.020
There's like a thousand people in the first service.

930
00:44:59.020 --> 00:45:00.060
So they were going.

931
00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:03.840
through introducing the team, and when they got to me,

932
00:45:03.840 --> 00:45:07.960
they're like, and this is Dano's assistant, Stephanie.

933
00:45:07.960 --> 00:45:09.320
You know, and everyone's like cheering,

934
00:45:09.320 --> 00:45:11.420
and I'm like, huh, I'm not his assistant,

935
00:45:11.420 --> 00:45:13.520
and my name's not Stephanie, right?

936
00:45:13.520 --> 00:45:15.800
But it was kind of like funny, ha ha.

937
00:45:15.800 --> 00:45:18.120
So we went to the people, and we're like,

938
00:45:18.120 --> 00:45:19.880
hey, we just wanna let you know it's actually,

939
00:45:19.880 --> 00:45:21.860
this is Pastor Bethany, she works with us.

940
00:45:21.860 --> 00:45:23.240
Like, oh yeah, yeah, we got it.

941
00:45:23.240 --> 00:45:26.560
So then the second service of the 1,000 people,

942
00:45:26.560 --> 00:45:28.480
they go down the line again, and they get to me,

943
00:45:28.520 --> 00:45:31.960
and they're like, and this is Dano's intern, Tiffany.

944
00:45:31.960 --> 00:45:32.960
Ha ha ha ha.

945
00:45:37.360 --> 00:45:39.120
So funny.

946
00:45:39.120 --> 00:45:42.080
Dano actually wants to add Tiffany and Stephanie

947
00:45:42.080 --> 00:45:46.160
to our admin list for our prophetic company, actually.

948
00:45:46.160 --> 00:45:49.480
If you have a booking request, send it to Tiffany.

949
00:45:49.480 --> 00:45:52.080
Anyways, so again, Dano got up,

950
00:45:52.080 --> 00:45:54.240
introduced me as Pastor Bethany.

951
00:45:54.240 --> 00:45:57.200
Now, you know, I thought it was funny, you guys,

952
00:45:57.200 --> 00:45:59.840
and it wasn't about the title for me,

953
00:45:59.840 --> 00:46:01.560
but I will say that when they understood

954
00:46:01.560 --> 00:46:03.360
that I was Pastor Bethany,

955
00:46:03.360 --> 00:46:06.220
they shifted in how they received from me.

956
00:46:07.800 --> 00:46:10.240
Like, I don't care about titles,

957
00:46:10.240 --> 00:46:11.680
but I'm not gonna be called

958
00:46:11.680 --> 00:46:13.620
and identified as something I'm not.

959
00:46:14.960 --> 00:46:17.320
And so it's okay to be like, hey, that's awesome,

960
00:46:17.320 --> 00:46:18.960
but I'm actually Pastor Bethany.

961
00:46:18.960 --> 00:46:22.080
And so again, names declare our authority

962
00:46:22.080 --> 00:46:23.120
and responsibility.

963
00:46:23.120 --> 00:46:28.120
Secondly, names reveal identity, destiny, and legacy.

964
00:46:30.820 --> 00:46:35.820
Names reveal identity, destiny, and legacy.

965
00:46:39.900 --> 00:46:44.900
Matthew 1, 20, 21, the angel Gabriel appeared to Mary

966
00:46:46.080 --> 00:46:49.000
and was telling her, you're gonna bear a son.

967
00:46:49.000 --> 00:46:53.760
And he said this to her, you will name him Jesus,

968
00:46:53.760 --> 00:46:57.760
for he will save his people from their sins.

969
00:46:57.760 --> 00:47:02.760
Do you know that Jesus's name means Jehovah is salvation?

970
00:47:04.580 --> 00:47:06.040
Jehovah is salvation.

971
00:47:06.040 --> 00:47:10.440
Jesus's name prophetically spoke to who he was

972
00:47:10.440 --> 00:47:12.800
and what his destiny would be.

973
00:47:12.800 --> 00:47:15.760
I want you to see the connection with Jesus's name.

974
00:47:15.760 --> 00:47:20.360
So what you do flows from who he says you are.

975
00:47:20.360 --> 00:47:22.960
See, many are looking for their purpose in life.

976
00:47:22.960 --> 00:47:25.080
They're looking for what am I called to do?

977
00:47:25.080 --> 00:47:28.840
But I think they're asking the wrong question first

978
00:47:28.840 --> 00:47:31.840
because they don't realize that the seeds of their destiny

979
00:47:31.840 --> 00:47:35.540
can actually be found in the name that heaven calls them.

980
00:47:36.600 --> 00:47:41.480
So Jesus's destiny was to be the savior of the world.

981
00:47:41.480 --> 00:47:45.460
And so his name needed to be Jehovah is salvation.

982
00:47:46.220 --> 00:47:49.260
He could not be called Abraham.

983
00:47:49.260 --> 00:47:51.500
The angel didn't say his name shall be Abraham

984
00:47:51.500 --> 00:47:54.020
because he would have been the father of many nations.

985
00:47:54.020 --> 00:47:56.260
He didn't come to be the father of many nations.

986
00:47:56.260 --> 00:47:58.660
He came to be salvation for the world.

987
00:47:58.660 --> 00:48:01.460
Therefore his name had to reflect that.

988
00:48:02.540 --> 00:48:05.140
You getting excited about your names yet?

989
00:48:05.140 --> 00:48:05.980
You should.

990
00:48:06.860 --> 00:48:10.100
Okay, Donald Trump, I'm gonna mention Donald's name.

991
00:48:10.100 --> 00:48:13.280
Okay, love him or hate him, it's not a statement.

992
00:48:13.280 --> 00:48:14.380
But this is interesting.

993
00:48:14.380 --> 00:48:18.580
Did you know that the name Donald means world ruler?

994
00:48:21.700 --> 00:48:22.880
World ruler.

995
00:48:22.880 --> 00:48:25.180
My son, Ethan, my son, he's in the Navy.

996
00:48:25.180 --> 00:48:26.980
He's been in the Navy for two years.

997
00:48:28.300 --> 00:48:31.220
He's got this cute little mustache right now.

998
00:48:31.220 --> 00:48:33.800
He totally looks like Goose from Top Gun.

999
00:48:35.980 --> 00:48:37.500
It's so funny.

1000
00:48:37.500 --> 00:48:39.700
I'm like, honey, you got a little something.

1001
00:48:39.900 --> 00:48:42.900
I guess mustaches are a thing right now, is that right?

1002
00:48:42.900 --> 00:48:45.100
If you're under 25, I don't know.

1003
00:48:47.100 --> 00:48:49.780
It's to prove you can grow facial hair, I don't know.

1004
00:48:49.780 --> 00:48:50.700
I'm just kidding.

1005
00:48:52.460 --> 00:48:53.300
Moving along.

1006
00:48:53.300 --> 00:48:58.300
So my son, Ethan, his name means strong and steadfast.

1007
00:49:00.300 --> 00:49:03.500
And it was interesting because two years ago

1008
00:49:03.500 --> 00:49:05.580
when we were really praying about what his next steps

1009
00:49:05.580 --> 00:49:07.700
would be when he graduated high school,

1010
00:49:07.700 --> 00:49:09.180
he came home one day and he said,

1011
00:49:09.180 --> 00:49:11.340
mom, I think I'm gonna join the Navy.

1012
00:49:11.340 --> 00:49:14.500
And I don't come from a military family background.

1013
00:49:14.500 --> 00:49:16.780
I mean, it's a very noble occupation.

1014
00:49:16.780 --> 00:49:19.260
But as a mother, I just wanted my son to be safe,

1015
00:49:19.260 --> 00:49:21.940
to be honest, and that didn't sound very safe to me.

1016
00:49:21.940 --> 00:49:25.340
And so I was kind of struggling with the idea

1017
00:49:25.340 --> 00:49:27.220
of him being in the military.

1018
00:49:27.220 --> 00:49:29.620
And as I was talking to the Lord about it,

1019
00:49:29.620 --> 00:49:32.740
the Lord reminded me, he said, what did you use to say

1020
00:49:32.740 --> 00:49:35.340
and declare over him when he was younger?

1021
00:49:35.380 --> 00:49:38.580
And instantly I remembered when he was a little boy

1022
00:49:38.580 --> 00:49:40.740
and he would wrestle with his younger sisters

1023
00:49:40.740 --> 00:49:42.700
and he would be a little too aggressive,

1024
00:49:42.700 --> 00:49:45.220
I would pull him aside, I would remind him

1025
00:49:45.220 --> 00:49:47.620
what his name means and I would say, hey, buddy,

1026
00:49:47.620 --> 00:49:50.780
God made you strong not to be a bully,

1027
00:49:50.780 --> 00:49:53.140
but to be a defender of the defenseless.

1028
00:49:53.140 --> 00:49:58.140
So the Lord reminded me of that.

1029
00:49:58.460 --> 00:50:00.260
And I was like, wow, that's amazing.

1030
00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:02.520
me that I used to declare over my son

1031
00:50:00.260 --> 00:50:01.100
That's amazing.

1032
00:50:02.520 --> 00:50:04.300
that he was called to be strong

1033
00:50:04.300 --> 00:50:06.880
because he was a defender of the defenseless.

1034
00:50:06.880 --> 00:50:09.760
And what better destiny for him

1035
00:50:09.760 --> 00:50:11.980
but to step into the Navy and be a defender

1036
00:50:11.980 --> 00:50:13.720
for the defenseless of our nation?

1037
00:50:15.840 --> 00:50:17.560
Are you catching a pattern here

1038
00:50:17.560 --> 00:50:19.240
that's connected to your names?

1039
00:50:19.240 --> 00:50:22.320
Your names prophetically speak to your identity

1040
00:50:22.320 --> 00:50:23.760
and your destiny.

1041
00:50:23.760 --> 00:50:26.800
There is this guy in our church in Texas,

1042
00:50:26.800 --> 00:50:30.160
he looks just like Santa Claus, like 100%.

1043
00:50:30.160 --> 00:50:33.000
He's got the suspenders, he's got the beard,

1044
00:50:33.000 --> 00:50:36.480
he's got, I mean, like you would go sit on his lap,

1045
00:50:36.480 --> 00:50:38.920
you know, maybe and ask for Christmas gifts,

1046
00:50:38.920 --> 00:50:40.160
you know, maybe not in a creepy way,

1047
00:50:40.160 --> 00:50:45.160
but so I remember I had spoken at the church

1048
00:50:45.160 --> 00:50:48.100
and he came up with his wife and I was talking with him.

1049
00:50:48.100 --> 00:50:50.200
Okay, you wanna know what his name is, you guys?

1050
00:50:50.200 --> 00:50:51.680
I'm not kidding.

1051
00:50:51.680 --> 00:50:55.580
His name is Christopher Carroll Christmas.

1052
00:50:57.640 --> 00:51:00.360
It's on his birth certificate.

1053
00:51:01.740 --> 00:51:02.760
It gets better.

1054
00:51:02.760 --> 00:51:05.340
He was born on December 24th.

1055
00:51:06.840 --> 00:51:11.600
He was literally manifesting being a Santa.

1056
00:51:11.600 --> 00:51:13.900
He's actually a professional Santa now.

1057
00:51:16.280 --> 00:51:18.360
And talk about being a Christ-bearer,

1058
00:51:18.360 --> 00:51:20.080
that's exactly what he is.

1059
00:51:20.080 --> 00:51:21.480
So he's a professional Santa.

1060
00:51:21.480 --> 00:51:22.880
It's interesting, I was talking to him

1061
00:51:23.400 --> 00:51:26.800
and I was reminded of how St. Nicholas,

1062
00:51:26.800 --> 00:51:30.360
the patron St. Nicholas had rescued children

1063
00:51:30.360 --> 00:51:32.960
and kids that had been trafficked and stuff.

1064
00:51:32.960 --> 00:51:35.240
And I kind of spoke that over him

1065
00:51:35.240 --> 00:51:38.420
and he's like, actually, my wife and I adopted a girl

1066
00:51:38.420 --> 00:51:41.000
out of human trafficking years ago.

1067
00:51:41.000 --> 00:51:42.960
And so it's interesting to see

1068
00:51:42.960 --> 00:51:45.640
that he was manifesting his identity,

1069
00:51:45.640 --> 00:51:48.820
but also his identity that was connected to his name.

1070
00:51:49.180 --> 00:51:51.980
I'm gonna get one more story.

1071
00:51:51.980 --> 00:51:53.220
Are you guys enjoying this?

1072
00:51:53.220 --> 00:51:54.500
Are you starting to connect the dots?

1073
00:51:54.500 --> 00:51:57.380
Okay, this literally just happened like three days ago.

1074
00:51:57.380 --> 00:52:02.380
So I was, I needed to talk to a police officer

1075
00:52:03.900 --> 00:52:06.020
about filing a report for something.

1076
00:52:06.020 --> 00:52:09.100
And so I was, but I hadn't done it yet.

1077
00:52:09.100 --> 00:52:11.900
So I was driving somewhere and I saw a police car

1078
00:52:11.900 --> 00:52:14.220
turn on the street that I was going on.

1079
00:52:14.220 --> 00:52:15.740
And I just felt an impression like,

1080
00:52:15.740 --> 00:52:17.700
you know, I'm gonna go down that street.

1081
00:52:17.860 --> 00:52:21.140
And if he stops, I'm gonna stop next to him

1082
00:52:21.140 --> 00:52:23.140
and ask him about how to file this report.

1083
00:52:23.140 --> 00:52:24.740
So I did that, pulled over.

1084
00:52:24.740 --> 00:52:27.060
He ended up stopping at a school nearby.

1085
00:52:27.060 --> 00:52:29.620
So I pulled over, talked to him, filed the report.

1086
00:52:29.620 --> 00:52:33.500
And as I'm talking to him, I noticed on his uniform

1087
00:52:33.500 --> 00:52:36.260
that it said Jay and his last name was Crook.

1088
00:52:37.700 --> 00:52:38.920
His last name was Crook.

1089
00:52:38.920 --> 00:52:41.740
He's a police officer and his last name is Crook.

1090
00:52:41.740 --> 00:52:45.000
So I was like, do you, that's kind of ironic, right?

1091
00:52:45.000 --> 00:52:45.980
Like your last name is Crook.

1092
00:52:45.980 --> 00:52:47.740
He's like, oh yeah, I get it all the time.

1093
00:52:47.740 --> 00:52:49.340
People are always teasing me.

1094
00:52:49.340 --> 00:52:50.620
And I'm like, oh, okay.

1095
00:52:50.620 --> 00:52:52.180
Well then a few minutes later,

1096
00:52:52.180 --> 00:52:54.140
he handed me his business card.

1097
00:52:54.140 --> 00:52:55.640
I promise it wasn't a ticket.

1098
00:52:55.640 --> 00:52:57.780
And he handed me his business card

1099
00:52:57.780 --> 00:52:59.820
and it said Justin Crook.

1100
00:52:59.820 --> 00:53:01.740
And I'm like, you know what Justin means, right?

1101
00:53:01.740 --> 00:53:02.580
He's like, no.

1102
00:53:02.580 --> 00:53:05.340
I'm like, Justin means justice or righteous.

1103
00:53:05.340 --> 00:53:06.940
I'm like, you're not a crook.

1104
00:53:06.940 --> 00:53:09.260
You bring justice to crooks.

1105
00:53:09.260 --> 00:53:14.260
You should have seen, I don't think he's a believer yet,

1106
00:53:14.860 --> 00:53:17.700
but you should have seen the look on his face, you guys.

1107
00:53:17.700 --> 00:53:22.380
Because he was like, no one has ever told me that before.

1108
00:53:22.380 --> 00:53:24.480
I'm gonna go home and I'm gonna tell my wife.

1109
00:53:24.480 --> 00:53:27.500
I'm like, you're literally manifesting your name,

1110
00:53:27.500 --> 00:53:28.780
the identity of who you are.

1111
00:53:28.780 --> 00:53:32.380
You are literally called Justice to Crook

1112
00:53:32.380 --> 00:53:33.460
and you're a policeman.

1113
00:53:33.460 --> 00:53:34.500
You are made to be this.

1114
00:53:34.500 --> 00:53:36.640
He's like, I am totally made to be this.

1115
00:53:36.640 --> 00:53:41.640
So again, your names, the meaning of your name

1116
00:53:44.800 --> 00:53:47.120
speaks to your heavenly identity.

1117
00:53:47.120 --> 00:53:49.200
And I can already hear you guys like now in the room like,

1118
00:53:49.200 --> 00:53:50.800
whoa, what does my name mean?

1119
00:53:50.800 --> 00:53:53.680
We're actually gonna do a name activation tomorrow

1120
00:53:53.680 --> 00:53:56.280
at the two o'clock when we come back from lunch.

1121
00:53:56.280 --> 00:53:59.440
So I'm gonna teach you guys how to prophetically discern

1122
00:53:59.440 --> 00:54:01.240
and activate your name.

1123
00:54:01.240 --> 00:54:03.860
Okay, we're talking about the power of names.

1124
00:54:03.860 --> 00:54:06.360
So we said the names relate to our authority

1125
00:54:07.040 --> 00:54:07.880
and responsibility.

1126
00:54:07.880 --> 00:54:11.520
Names reveal identity, destiny and legacy.

1127
00:54:11.520 --> 00:54:16.000
Thirdly, new seasons sometime require a new name.

1128
00:54:18.320 --> 00:54:21.720
New seasons sometimes require a new name

1129
00:54:21.720 --> 00:54:25.200
or like an upgraded identity view.

1130
00:54:25.200 --> 00:54:27.240
So of course, Abraham, you know,

1131
00:54:27.240 --> 00:54:29.320
God came to him in Genesis 17 and said,

1132
00:54:29.320 --> 00:54:31.520
no longer will you be called Abram,

1133
00:54:31.520 --> 00:54:34.720
which means exalted father, but I'm adding the yaw to that.

1134
00:54:34.760 --> 00:54:36.880
I'm calling you Abraham

1135
00:54:36.880 --> 00:54:39.220
for I'm making you a father of many nations.

1136
00:54:39.220 --> 00:54:44.220
Abraham needed that name change for the identity upgrade

1137
00:54:47.220 --> 00:54:49.640
so that he could fulfill that destiny

1138
00:54:49.640 --> 00:54:51.560
as the father of many nations.

1139
00:54:51.560 --> 00:54:54.760
You know, Jesus, when he wanted to shift

1140
00:54:54.760 --> 00:54:58.160
how his disciples functioned with him,

1141
00:54:58.160 --> 00:55:00.080
he did it by a name change.

1142
00:55:00.000 --> 00:55:00.840
Right?

1143
00:55:00.840 --> 00:55:02.920
He said in John 15, 15,

1144
00:55:02.920 --> 00:55:07.000
no longer do I call you servants, right?

1145
00:55:07.000 --> 00:55:10.100
Because a servant does not know what his master is doing,

1146
00:55:10.100 --> 00:55:13.400
but I call you friends for everything that I've learned

1147
00:55:13.400 --> 00:55:16.120
from the father I make known to you.

1148
00:55:16.120 --> 00:55:19.800
So when Jesus wanted to shift how he related with them

1149
00:55:19.800 --> 00:55:21.640
and how they related with him,

1150
00:55:21.640 --> 00:55:25.180
he actually started with the name identity upgrade

1151
00:55:25.180 --> 00:55:26.800
or a shift, okay?

1152
00:55:26.800 --> 00:55:29.520
And so again, we see this all throughout scripture,

1153
00:55:29.520 --> 00:55:32.080
Abram to Abraham, Sarai to Sarah,

1154
00:55:32.080 --> 00:55:33.900
we saw that with Saul to Paul.

1155
00:55:33.900 --> 00:55:36.160
Now I'm not talking about like you have to change your name

1156
00:55:36.160 --> 00:55:39.320
because I believe that there is a redemptive seed

1157
00:55:39.320 --> 00:55:41.360
in all of your names.

1158
00:55:41.360 --> 00:55:43.640
Three years ago, four years ago,

1159
00:55:43.640 --> 00:55:46.260
the Lord gave me a new name, right?

1160
00:55:46.260 --> 00:55:49.500
When Chris Valton prophesied that I would write the book

1161
00:55:49.500 --> 00:55:51.500
that redefines mothering in the kingdom of God,

1162
00:55:51.500 --> 00:55:53.280
a mantle came on me.

1163
00:55:53.280 --> 00:55:54.740
And about two weeks after that,

1164
00:55:54.740 --> 00:55:57.540
we were at a conference and speaking somewhere

1165
00:55:57.540 --> 00:56:00.780
and a prophet who was a prophet and religious advisor

1166
00:56:00.780 --> 00:56:02.620
to presidents and kings, he's like,

1167
00:56:02.620 --> 00:56:05.780
okay, I have two words for you, apostolic mother.

1168
00:56:05.780 --> 00:56:10.540
Okay, that was a new name that heaven was giving to me.

1169
00:56:11.540 --> 00:56:15.100
That meant there was a new responsibility

1170
00:56:15.100 --> 00:56:19.540
and a new authority that God was giving to me,

1171
00:56:19.540 --> 00:56:21.580
but it's not automatic.

1172
00:56:21.580 --> 00:56:24.220
I had to make that declaration of responsibility.

1173
00:56:24.220 --> 00:56:26.220
I had to say, I'm gonna own that.

1174
00:56:26.220 --> 00:56:27.860
And honestly, I still, to be honest,

1175
00:56:27.860 --> 00:56:29.900
I'm still walking that out.

1176
00:56:29.900 --> 00:56:34.220
So we all have new names just as God has hundreds of names

1177
00:56:34.220 --> 00:56:37.180
that actually define who he is and what he does.

1178
00:56:37.180 --> 00:56:40.100
I believe the Lord has many names for each one of us.

1179
00:56:40.100 --> 00:56:42.400
It's not only in the natural birth names

1180
00:56:42.400 --> 00:56:44.920
that you've been given or your family's been given,

1181
00:56:44.920 --> 00:56:48.380
but God has prophetic names that he's releasing to you.

1182
00:56:48.380 --> 00:56:50.460
Isaiah 62 too says this,

1183
00:56:50.460 --> 00:56:53.700
and you will be called by a new name

1184
00:56:53.700 --> 00:56:57.100
which the mouth of the Lord will designate.

1185
00:56:57.100 --> 00:57:00.460
Revelations 2.17, to him who overcomes

1186
00:57:00.460 --> 00:57:04.260
will be given a new name written on the stone

1187
00:57:04.260 --> 00:57:07.060
which no one knows by he who receives it.

1188
00:57:07.060 --> 00:57:10.580
See guys, we fight the good fight

1189
00:57:10.580 --> 00:57:12.960
by living from our truest identity,

1190
00:57:13.860 --> 00:57:17.860
who God says our family is, our prophetic words,

1191
00:57:17.860 --> 00:57:20.580
and the names all collectively speak

1192
00:57:21.540 --> 00:57:22.980
from our heavenly identity.

1193
00:57:23.660 --> 00:57:25.420
I wanna make this last point here,

1194
00:57:25.420 --> 00:57:27.780
and we're gonna probably,

1195
00:57:27.780 --> 00:57:29.380
we're gonna land the plane soon.

1196
00:57:31.120 --> 00:57:33.340
Number four, don't change,

1197
00:57:33.340 --> 00:57:35.520
even though God gives you a new name,

1198
00:57:35.520 --> 00:57:38.400
number four, don't change the name that God gives you.

1199
00:57:39.900 --> 00:57:43.200
Don't change the name that God gives you.

1200
00:57:43.200 --> 00:57:47.080
Names are so powerful to our identity

1201
00:57:47.080 --> 00:57:50.780
that we need to be careful not to rename ourselves

1202
00:57:50.780 --> 00:57:55.180
according to what we feel or our life circumstances.

1203
00:57:55.180 --> 00:57:57.420
Let me give you an example from Scripture

1204
00:57:57.420 --> 00:57:58.880
of somebody who did this.

1205
00:57:58.880 --> 00:58:01.500
In the book of Ruth, we have Naomi

1206
00:58:01.500 --> 00:58:04.340
who is the mother-in-law of Ruth, right?

1207
00:58:04.340 --> 00:58:07.700
And the Bible records that her husband died

1208
00:58:07.700 --> 00:58:09.720
and her two only living sons.

1209
00:58:09.720 --> 00:58:12.180
So she didn't have any family anymore

1210
00:58:12.180 --> 00:58:15.260
other than her daughter-in-law, her two daughters-in-law.

1211
00:58:15.260 --> 00:58:19.020
So she decides to return to, I think it's Bethlehem,

1212
00:58:19.020 --> 00:58:21.580
and as she's going there, Ruth is with her,

1213
00:58:21.580 --> 00:58:23.900
but as Naomi walks into Bethlehem,

1214
00:58:23.900 --> 00:58:25.980
listen to what it says,

1215
00:58:25.980 --> 00:58:29.220
because what happened was she's bitter now.

1216
00:58:29.220 --> 00:58:30.660
Life is hard.

1217
00:58:30.660 --> 00:58:33.500
Like she lost the light of her life, right?

1218
00:58:33.500 --> 00:58:36.220
And so she's disappointed, she's bitter.

1219
00:58:36.220 --> 00:58:38.660
Like life didn't go the way that she planned it

1220
00:58:38.660 --> 00:58:40.220
or had hoped it would go.

1221
00:58:40.220 --> 00:58:43.500
And as she enters into Bethlehem,

1222
00:58:43.500 --> 00:58:47.740
the women of Bethlehem said, can this be Naomi?

1223
00:58:47.740 --> 00:58:51.940
She replies, don't call me Naomi, call me Mara,

1224
00:58:51.940 --> 00:58:55.700
because the Almighty has made my life very bitter.

1225
00:58:55.700 --> 00:59:00.500
I went away full, but the Lord has brought me back empty.

1226
00:59:00.500 --> 00:59:03.760
The Lord has afflicted me and brought misfortune upon me.

1227
00:59:03.760 --> 00:59:06.920
Can you just hear the weariness in here?

1228
00:59:06.920 --> 00:59:09.780
Mara means bitterness.

1229
00:59:09.780 --> 00:59:13.580
So she was renaming herself from Naomi.

1230
00:59:13.580 --> 00:59:16.680
She was renaming her identity based on her pain.

1231
00:59:18.180 --> 00:59:23.180
How many times do we name or even rename ourselves

1232
00:59:24.940 --> 00:59:27.300
based on the hard things of life?

1233
00:59:27.300 --> 00:59:31.020
You know, our negative circumstances, our own feelings.

1234
00:59:31.020 --> 00:59:32.180
You know, what are some examples?

1235
00:59:32.180 --> 00:59:34.620
I'm stupid or I'm unloved.

1236
00:59:34.620 --> 00:59:38.260
These are all names, you guys, that we're identifying with.

1237
00:59:38.260 --> 00:59:41.400
These are names that either we are declaring over ourselves

1238
00:59:41.400 --> 00:59:43.860
or that others are trying to put on us.

1239
00:59:43.860 --> 00:59:45.740
And you know, one of the things as a mother

1240
00:59:45.740 --> 00:59:47.140
that I did when my kids were younger,

1241
00:59:47.540 --> 00:59:49.620
when they would like call each other names,

1242
00:59:49.620 --> 00:59:51.460
I was like on top of that,

1243
00:59:51.460 --> 00:59:54.340
because I understood that if somebody called them a name,

1244
00:59:54.340 --> 00:59:56.700
like, oh, you're an idiot, you know,

1245
00:59:56.700 --> 01:00:00.340
if they adopted that name as an identity.

1246
01:00:00.000 --> 01:00:04.640
identity, then it would affect their destiny.

1247
01:00:04.640 --> 01:00:07.120
Because they're intricately linked, you guys,

1248
01:00:07.120 --> 01:00:09.440
your identity determines your destiny.

1249
01:00:09.440 --> 01:00:12.960
So if they believed a lie, a name about themselves

1250
01:00:12.960 --> 01:00:16.320
that wasn't true, it would impact their destiny.

1251
01:00:16.320 --> 01:00:18.160
And so, you know, I would say, you know,

1252
01:00:18.160 --> 01:00:21.120
it's okay to say, like, don't say you're stupid.

1253
01:00:21.120 --> 01:00:23.560
You could say that was a stupid thing to do,

1254
01:00:23.560 --> 01:00:24.600
but you're not stupid.

1255
01:00:24.600 --> 01:00:26.280
Do you guys see the difference there?

1256
01:00:26.280 --> 01:00:28.280
There's a difference between identity

1257
01:00:28.280 --> 01:00:31.160
and, like, a one-time event that happened, right?

1258
01:00:31.160 --> 01:00:33.720
So again, even now, as I mentioned earlier,

1259
01:00:33.720 --> 01:00:36.280
there are those in our culture

1260
01:00:36.280 --> 01:00:41.000
that are trying to rename different terms.

1261
01:00:41.000 --> 01:00:43.440
And it's strategic, you guys.

1262
01:00:43.440 --> 01:00:45.840
They're trying to rename woman, as I mentioned earlier.

1263
01:00:45.840 --> 01:00:47.520
They're trying to rename mother.

1264
01:00:49.080 --> 01:00:50.400
It's interesting that they're not trying

1265
01:00:50.400 --> 01:00:52.300
to rename man or father.

1266
01:00:53.300 --> 01:00:57.300
I believe there's a key there that's wrapped up in Genesis

1267
01:00:57.300 --> 01:00:59.340
because there's a power in a woman

1268
01:00:59.340 --> 01:01:02.140
to actually step on the heel of the enemy,

1269
01:01:02.140 --> 01:01:03.700
on the enemy's head.

1270
01:01:03.700 --> 01:01:06.340
And so I think the enemy's been afraid of women

1271
01:01:06.340 --> 01:01:09.020
and mothers and kingdom mothers rising up.

1272
01:01:09.020 --> 01:01:10.780
And he's been trying to silence their voices

1273
01:01:10.780 --> 01:01:11.780
for so many years.

1274
01:01:11.780 --> 01:01:12.940
And now as they're rising up

1275
01:01:12.940 --> 01:01:14.540
and starting to own their voice,

1276
01:01:14.540 --> 01:01:16.620
he's trying to go after them by redefining

1277
01:01:16.620 --> 01:01:18.380
and renaming them.

1278
01:01:18.380 --> 01:01:20.020
And we're not gonna let it happen.

1279
01:01:20.340 --> 01:01:25.340
Recently, I was ministering in a YWAM base in Hawaii.

1280
01:01:26.540 --> 01:01:28.660
And it was awesome.

1281
01:01:28.660 --> 01:01:30.460
I was, I know, a YWAM in Hawaii.

1282
01:01:30.460 --> 01:01:32.860
Like, you know, when you get an invitation to Hawaii,

1283
01:01:32.860 --> 01:01:34.700
like, you don't even have to pray about it, right?

1284
01:01:34.700 --> 01:01:37.820
Like, it's like, yes, Lord.

1285
01:01:37.820 --> 01:01:42.820
I don't need to put the fleece out for that one, you know?

1286
01:01:43.860 --> 01:01:46.380
And so when I was there,

1287
01:01:46.540 --> 01:01:50.540
there was actually two or three of the young kids

1288
01:01:50.540 --> 01:01:52.180
that were part of the YWAM team.

1289
01:01:52.180 --> 01:01:54.420
They were part of the leadership team.

1290
01:01:54.420 --> 01:01:57.060
One of them, a young man, was sharing with me.

1291
01:01:57.060 --> 01:01:58.700
He was like 19 years old.

1292
01:01:58.700 --> 01:02:01.060
And he was sharing with me how he had just recently

1293
01:02:01.060 --> 01:02:03.100
come out of a homosexual lifestyle.

1294
01:02:04.020 --> 01:02:05.100
So I asked him, I said,

1295
01:02:05.100 --> 01:02:07.540
how did that actually begin for you?

1296
01:02:07.540 --> 01:02:09.180
You know, like, how did that start?

1297
01:02:09.180 --> 01:02:10.940
He said when he was younger,

1298
01:02:10.940 --> 01:02:14.060
he was in a relationship with a woman

1299
01:02:14.180 --> 01:02:15.940
He said when he was younger,

1300
01:02:17.100 --> 01:02:18.940
his voice was just a little bit higher

1301
01:02:18.940 --> 01:02:20.420
than the rest of the boys.

1302
01:02:20.420 --> 01:02:23.180
And so some of the other boys would tease him

1303
01:02:23.180 --> 01:02:25.980
and they would call him, and this is an offensive term,

1304
01:02:25.980 --> 01:02:27.540
but they would call him faggot.

1305
01:02:28.700 --> 01:02:33.300
And it was a name that he allowed to become an identity.

1306
01:02:34.580 --> 01:02:36.780
It was introduced to him.

1307
01:02:36.780 --> 01:02:39.180
And because he didn't have, I believe,

1308
01:02:39.180 --> 01:02:40.940
mothers and fathers in his life

1309
01:02:40.940 --> 01:02:43.380
to speak the truth of his heavenly identity,

1310
01:02:44.540 --> 01:02:45.980
it took root.

1311
01:02:45.980 --> 01:02:49.540
And as a result, he adopted that as a name

1312
01:02:49.540 --> 01:02:51.780
that belonged to him and his identity.

1313
01:02:51.780 --> 01:02:54.180
And he started to live out that lifestyle

1314
01:02:54.180 --> 01:02:56.620
until the Lord brought salvation to him

1315
01:02:56.620 --> 01:02:57.460
and he walked out of it.

1316
01:02:57.460 --> 01:02:59.500
But he was still like learning to walk out of it.

1317
01:02:59.500 --> 01:03:02.420
So do you guys see that we must not rename ourselves

1318
01:03:02.420 --> 01:03:04.220
or allow others to rename us?

1319
01:03:04.220 --> 01:03:08.180
Did you know that there are 72 gender names out there?

1320
01:03:09.620 --> 01:03:10.460
I know.

1321
01:03:14.620 --> 01:03:16.420
I read this article of a girl.

1322
01:03:16.420 --> 01:03:19.420
She was identifying as a non-binary

1323
01:03:19.420 --> 01:03:22.100
and her given birth name was too feminine.

1324
01:03:22.100 --> 01:03:23.500
So what did she do?

1325
01:03:23.500 --> 01:03:26.900
She changed her name to something

1326
01:03:26.900 --> 01:03:28.900
that she was more comfortable with

1327
01:03:28.900 --> 01:03:32.020
that was neither masculine nor feminine.

1328
01:03:32.020 --> 01:03:34.980
Come on, you cannot tell me that names aren't powerful.

1329
01:03:36.260 --> 01:03:38.860
They even, I mean, even she understood

1330
01:03:38.860 --> 01:03:41.500
that there was power in a name.

1331
01:03:41.500 --> 01:03:44.260
See, names are powerful and they have the ability

1332
01:03:44.260 --> 01:03:47.260
to either limit our God-intended destiny

1333
01:03:47.260 --> 01:03:51.100
when we agree with anything less than our heavenly name.

1334
01:03:51.100 --> 01:03:53.220
Come on, you guys, I believe this with my whole heart,

1335
01:03:53.220 --> 01:03:57.420
that your name is a treasure map to your heavenly identity

1336
01:03:57.420 --> 01:04:00.180
and a roadmap to your prophetic destiny.

1337
01:04:00.180 --> 01:04:01.100
I do.

1338
01:04:01.100 --> 01:04:04.180
Within the seeds of your name, who heaven calls you,

1339
01:04:04.180 --> 01:04:07.900
it is a treasure map to who God says you are,

1340
01:04:07.900 --> 01:04:09.380
who he says you are.

1341
01:04:09.380 --> 01:04:11.820
And it's a roadmap to your destiny

1342
01:04:11.820 --> 01:04:14.460
and to what you're called to do and be.

1343
01:04:14.460 --> 01:04:18.060
So in closing, we've been talking about the difference

1344
01:04:18.060 --> 01:04:21.260
between protesters and reformers.

1345
01:04:21.260 --> 01:04:24.900
Did you know that the greatest reformer of all time

1346
01:04:24.900 --> 01:04:26.180
is the Holy Spirit?

1347
01:04:28.380 --> 01:04:30.700
Aren't you thankful that he didn't just come

1348
01:04:30.700 --> 01:04:33.620
from the outside like he did in the Old Testament,

1349
01:04:33.620 --> 01:04:37.140
but actually we now have Christ in me, the hope of glory.

1350
01:04:37.180 --> 01:04:40.820
He literally is inside of you to reform you,

1351
01:04:40.820 --> 01:04:43.740
to think like Jesus, to know God's thoughts,

1352
01:04:43.740 --> 01:04:46.380
to act like him, to be a new creation.

1353
01:04:46.380 --> 01:04:49.580
He is the greatest reformer of all time.

1354
01:04:51.860 --> 01:04:54.060
Second Corinthians 5.16, we said,

1355
01:04:54.060 --> 01:04:59.060
therefore, from now on, we regard no one

1356
01:04:59.220 --> 01:05:00.460
according to the Lord.

1357
01:05:00.000 --> 01:05:07.400
flesh. If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. Old things

1358
01:05:07.400 --> 01:05:10.840
have passed away. Behold, all things have become new. Honestly,

1359
01:05:10.840 --> 01:05:14.040
I don't know that we as the church has been really great at

1360
01:05:14.040 --> 01:05:19.640
this yet. We don't know how to regard each other no longer

1361
01:05:19.640 --> 01:05:23.520
according to the flesh, but to the heavenly man. And I think in

1362
01:05:23.520 --> 01:05:27.440
large part, the reason why is because we didn't know how to

1363
01:05:27.440 --> 01:05:31.040
discover who the heavenly man is. We understood some parts

1364
01:05:31.040 --> 01:05:34.160
like, oh, you're a child of God, like me, cool. You're a citizen

1365
01:05:34.160 --> 01:05:36.760
of heaven. But we didn't understand that prophetic or

1366
01:05:36.760 --> 01:05:40.800
heavenly identity piece. But again, these tools that I just

1367
01:05:40.800 --> 01:05:45.800
gave you today are three powerful tools to access your

1368
01:05:45.800 --> 01:05:49.800
future present identity, not only for you, but for the world

1369
01:05:49.800 --> 01:05:55.320
around you. See, our job now is to deploy and reform this

1370
01:05:55.320 --> 01:05:59.560
generation with the truth of their call. You guys, in Judges

1371
01:05:59.560 --> 01:06:04.160
5, something I've been thinking about recently, in Judges 5,

1372
01:06:04.160 --> 01:06:08.080
where Deborah, who's the only woman prophet, she was a prophet

1373
01:06:08.080 --> 01:06:12.680
and a woman, the only female judge and leader of Israel. And

1374
01:06:12.720 --> 01:06:16.200
there's an interesting passage. Think about it. Because I feel

1375
01:06:16.200 --> 01:06:19.800
like, I feel like it's kind of where I feel, to be honest, and

1376
01:06:19.800 --> 01:06:24.600
I think many of you can relate, where you're looking around at

1377
01:06:24.600 --> 01:06:28.720
this sea of confusion. There's so many issues, and you feel a

1378
01:06:28.720 --> 01:06:32.600
little bit helpless to do anything about it. Do you guys

1379
01:06:32.600 --> 01:06:36.800
know what I mean? You're like, I'm just one person. And there's

1380
01:06:36.800 --> 01:06:40.840
like this systemic issue for like centuries or generations

1381
01:06:40.840 --> 01:06:45.440
or there's all these things, what can I do? And I realized

1382
01:06:45.480 --> 01:06:49.200
late recently, I was reading about Deborah. And in Judges 5,

1383
01:06:49.560 --> 01:06:54.760
think about it. Israel had been oppressed for 40 years. And

1384
01:06:54.760 --> 01:07:00.880
here's a housewife. Right? Here's a little housewife with

1385
01:07:00.880 --> 01:07:05.600
the heart of a mother. She looks around and she sees and she

1386
01:07:05.600 --> 01:07:11.960
loves her nation so much. And she's like, God, what can we do?

1387
01:07:13.080 --> 01:07:16.920
And in Judges 5, 7, it says this, villagers in Israel would

1388
01:07:16.920 --> 01:07:24.360
not fight. They held back until I, Deborah, arose, a mother in

1389
01:07:24.360 --> 01:07:31.600
Israel. What can little old me do? I believe, again, I said

1390
01:07:31.600 --> 01:07:34.720
this on a podcast with Chris, I believe solutions come to those

1391
01:07:34.720 --> 01:07:44.720
who care. If you want to know where to start, ask the Holy

1392
01:07:44.720 --> 01:07:47.440
Spirit right now. Like, what are the burdens of your heart?

1393
01:07:47.440 --> 01:07:50.400
Where are the passions of your heart? What are the things that

1394
01:07:50.400 --> 01:07:53.320
make you weep? Not just the things that make you angry, but

1395
01:07:53.320 --> 01:07:56.280
like, what are the things that are burdening you? Right now, I

1396
01:07:56.280 --> 01:08:00.320
really do believe that the Lord is mobilizing an army to bring

1397
01:08:00.320 --> 01:08:05.960
this reformation of heavenly identity to a generation of kids,

1398
01:08:05.960 --> 01:08:09.480
especially, that need to know the truth of who God says they

1399
01:08:09.480 --> 01:08:12.720
are. And one of the ways that we're doing that in prophetic

1400
01:08:12.720 --> 01:08:17.160
company is we've developed have like identity camps, prophetic

1401
01:08:17.160 --> 01:08:21.120
identity camps that we are raising up trainers to go and do

1402
01:08:21.120 --> 01:08:24.000
in the different places that they're going. We have one of

1403
01:08:24.000 --> 01:08:28.240
our trainers is in a nation where she started coaching. It's

1404
01:08:28.240 --> 01:08:32.200
a, for lack of a better word, in the secular realm. And she's

1405
01:08:32.200 --> 01:08:36.720
coaching kids according to their heavenly identity. But she's not

1406
01:08:36.720 --> 01:08:40.800
saying that language. But that's exactly what she's doing. So

1407
01:08:40.800 --> 01:08:44.160
because so many kids are like, they don't know who they are.

1408
01:08:44.160 --> 01:08:47.720
And so parents are seeing that there's a transformation and a

1409
01:08:47.720 --> 01:08:51.080
change in their kids life when they spend time with her,

1410
01:08:51.160 --> 01:08:54.080
because she's showing them the treasure of who they always

1411
01:08:54.080 --> 01:09:01.479
were. We can be a part of the answer to this solution. We are

1412
01:09:01.479 --> 01:09:05.760
the ones right now that have that opportunity to stand in the

1413
01:09:05.760 --> 01:09:10.080
gap and bring about the reformation of God's heart, God's

1414
01:09:10.080 --> 01:09:14.880
identity over this generation. And so as we close, again, I

1415
01:09:14.880 --> 01:09:19.359
want to kind of ask, I think I have two calls, kind of in my

1416
01:09:19.359 --> 01:09:23.319
spirit. And the first one is this, if you feel like there are

1417
01:09:23.319 --> 01:09:27.319
false names that have been spoken to you over the years,

1418
01:09:27.319 --> 01:09:30.439
whether you've spoken it over yourself, or others have spoken

1419
01:09:30.439 --> 01:09:33.520
it to you, and you've come into agreement with it, I just want

1420
01:09:33.520 --> 01:09:35.840
you to stand right now because we're gonna break that off of

1421
01:09:35.840 --> 01:09:36.120
you.

1422
01:09:40.080 --> 01:09:52.520
Some of you were called shy. And you need to stand up because

1423
01:09:52.520 --> 01:09:59.680
we're gonna break that off of you. All right. Huh.

1424
01:10:00.000 --> 01:10:03.680
For some reason, I'm seeing you put your hands on your head.

1425
01:10:03.680 --> 01:10:04.680
Okay, we're gonna pray this prayer.

1426
01:10:04.680 --> 01:10:06.920
This is something, well, let's do this first.

1427
01:10:06.920 --> 01:10:09.920
Father, I just break all agreement, Lord,

1428
01:10:09.920 --> 01:10:12.800
with every false name, Father,

1429
01:10:12.800 --> 01:10:15.480
that has come into the hearts and the minds

1430
01:10:15.480 --> 01:10:17.760
that have come on these people in this room.

1431
01:10:17.760 --> 01:10:20.920
Father, I pray, I break that in Jesus' name.

1432
01:10:20.920 --> 01:10:22.600
And Father, I just declare, like,

1433
01:10:22.600 --> 01:10:24.260
we just forgive those

1434
01:10:24.260 --> 01:10:26.480
because they knew not what they were doing.

1435
01:10:26.480 --> 01:10:29.680
Father, we even now, we release and forgive parents

1436
01:10:29.680 --> 01:10:32.480
that spoke things into us, that shaped our identity.

1437
01:10:32.480 --> 01:10:36.600
Father, we forgive those children and friends

1438
01:10:36.600 --> 01:10:39.240
as growing up that spoke things to us, Father.

1439
01:10:39.240 --> 01:10:41.920
We just break that lie right now in Jesus' name.

1440
01:10:41.920 --> 01:10:43.760
And I want you to do, wherever you are right now,

1441
01:10:43.760 --> 01:10:46.520
whatever that name is that you are,

1442
01:10:46.520 --> 01:10:49.700
that you were believing, I want you to speak it out.

1443
01:10:49.700 --> 01:10:53.160
And I want you to say, I am not stupid.

1444
01:10:53.160 --> 01:10:54.600
I am not this.

1445
01:10:54.600 --> 01:10:56.140
I just want, I just feel like there needs to be

1446
01:10:56.140 --> 01:10:59.400
that declaration right now that I am not,

1447
01:11:00.080 --> 01:11:00.920
and just speak that out.

1448
01:11:00.920 --> 01:11:03.280
Okay, now what I want us to do is,

1449
01:11:03.280 --> 01:11:04.680
I want us to pray this prayer,

1450
01:11:04.680 --> 01:11:07.080
and this is something I learned from Pastor Bill,

1451
01:11:07.080 --> 01:11:08.320
and this is what I want you to pray.

1452
01:11:08.320 --> 01:11:09.680
I want you to say, Father,

1453
01:11:11.060 --> 01:11:13.080
don't let there be a thought in my head

1454
01:11:15.060 --> 01:11:19.260
that you don't think about me, in Jesus' name.

1455
01:11:20.240 --> 01:11:21.740
Lord, I just pray right now, Lord,

1456
01:11:21.740 --> 01:11:24.920
that the truth of heavenly identity,

1457
01:11:25.000 --> 01:11:27.440
of who you say they are right now,

1458
01:11:27.440 --> 01:11:30.360
would fill their minds, Father God.

1459
01:11:30.360 --> 01:11:31.640
We're not just displacing,

1460
01:11:31.640 --> 01:11:34.240
we're replacing with your truth

1461
01:11:34.240 --> 01:11:35.600
and with that heavenly identity.

1462
01:11:35.600 --> 01:11:37.600
Father, I pray, Lord, that even that,

1463
01:11:37.600 --> 01:11:41.120
I feel like there were some decisions and destinies

1464
01:11:41.120 --> 01:11:44.720
that actually were a result of believing this false lie

1465
01:11:44.720 --> 01:11:45.960
and these false names.

1466
01:11:45.960 --> 01:11:47.780
And Father, I just thank you that right now,

1467
01:11:47.780 --> 01:11:51.000
there's gonna be an immediate redirect right now

1468
01:11:51.000 --> 01:11:53.600
of destiny, and that even as they're laying aside

1469
01:11:53.600 --> 01:11:55.320
those lies, I feel like some of those lies

1470
01:11:55.320 --> 01:11:57.720
that you were believing were actually obstacles

1471
01:11:57.720 --> 01:11:58.600
to your destiny.

1472
01:11:58.600 --> 01:12:01.800
You're like, when am I gonna step into my destiny?

1473
01:12:01.800 --> 01:12:03.960
It's because this was an obstacle to that.

1474
01:12:03.960 --> 01:12:06.480
But Lord has removed that lie from you,

1475
01:12:06.480 --> 01:12:08.680
and I believe that there's gonna be a clear path.

1476
01:12:08.680 --> 01:12:11.400
He's making the crooked path straight.

1477
01:12:11.400 --> 01:12:14.960
Yes, Lord, make the crooked path straight.

1478
01:12:14.960 --> 01:12:16.840
Make the crooked path straight.

1479
01:12:16.840 --> 01:12:20.320
Those were crooked thoughts, crooked names,

1480
01:12:20.320 --> 01:12:23.560
crooked lies, they were not truth.

1481
01:12:24.400 --> 01:12:25.240
They were not straight.

1482
01:12:25.240 --> 01:12:26.960
Father, making them straight right now.

1483
01:12:28.160 --> 01:12:32.440
The truth of your thoughts towards us, in Jesus' name.

1484
01:12:32.440 --> 01:12:33.280
Amen.

1485
01:12:33.280 --> 01:12:35.520
All right, and then our second call.

1486
01:12:36.640 --> 01:12:40.920
I really feel, I feel like this is a time

1487
01:12:40.920 --> 01:12:42.240
to stand in the gap.

1488
01:12:44.520 --> 01:12:46.560
And I genuinely don't want you to stand up

1489
01:12:46.560 --> 01:12:50.200
unless you're actually committing to this, okay?

1490
01:12:50.200 --> 01:12:53.160
But I'm looking, I believe God is raising an army

1491
01:12:53.760 --> 01:12:56.200
of mothers and fathers, prophetic mothers and fathers

1492
01:12:56.200 --> 01:12:58.800
who are willing to say, not on my watch.

1493
01:13:00.200 --> 01:13:02.000
And what this is gonna look like,

1494
01:13:02.000 --> 01:13:03.760
it's gonna look like this.

1495
01:13:03.760 --> 01:13:05.960
You're just gonna ask Holy Spirit,

1496
01:13:05.960 --> 01:13:07.600
Lord, who do I speak the truth

1497
01:13:07.600 --> 01:13:09.240
of your heavenly identity to?

1498
01:13:09.240 --> 01:13:11.400
Now that I have these tools,

1499
01:13:11.400 --> 01:13:13.520
I can take the name of that neighbor.

1500
01:13:13.520 --> 01:13:15.360
I can take the name of that worker,

1501
01:13:15.360 --> 01:13:18.280
that work person that I work with, Father.

1502
01:13:18.280 --> 01:13:21.000
I can take the name of that girl

1503
01:13:21.000 --> 01:13:22.800
that works at the coffee shop.

1504
01:13:23.440 --> 01:13:25.920
Those people I have relationship, my grandkids.

1505
01:13:25.920 --> 01:13:29.120
There's different people that you have relational equity

1506
01:13:29.120 --> 01:13:31.960
with and that what you're gonna do is you're going

1507
01:13:31.960 --> 01:13:35.600
to discover who God says they are.

1508
01:13:35.600 --> 01:13:38.160
And then you're going to, just like I did with my daughter,

1509
01:13:38.160 --> 01:13:41.120
you're gonna start speaking intentionally

1510
01:13:41.120 --> 01:13:43.880
the truth of their heavenly identity.

1511
01:13:43.880 --> 01:13:46.880
Who is willing to stand in the gap with me

1512
01:13:46.880 --> 01:13:48.760
for the sake of this generation?

1513
01:13:48.880 --> 01:13:49.720
Thank you.

1514
01:13:57.320 --> 01:14:02.320
Do you guys feel, I hope you guys feel empowered.

1515
01:14:04.520 --> 01:14:06.480
Like you have a solution.

1516
01:14:06.480 --> 01:14:08.920
You can do something about this.

1517
01:14:08.920 --> 01:14:12.840
You know, the Bible says that the wisdom of God

1518
01:14:12.840 --> 01:14:14.880
is like foolishness to the world.

1519
01:14:14.920 --> 01:14:17.440
This may seem like simple

1520
01:14:17.440 --> 01:14:20.360
and it may even seem foolish to the natural mind,

1521
01:14:20.360 --> 01:14:22.160
but I believe with my whole heart

1522
01:14:22.160 --> 01:14:24.720
that prophetic heavenly identity is the key

1523
01:14:24.720 --> 01:14:28.280
and the solution to shifting the spirit of confusion

1524
01:14:28.280 --> 01:14:30.040
over the identity of this generation.

1525
01:14:30.040 --> 01:14:31.120
I really do.

1526
01:14:34.640 --> 01:14:39.400
And I wanna see as many people as I can

1527
01:14:39.400 --> 01:14:41.840
deploying with this and speaking the truth.

1528
01:14:41.840 --> 01:14:43.640
Dana, do you wanna say something?

1529
01:14:44.320 --> 01:14:45.160
Okay.

1530
01:14:45.160 --> 01:14:46.800
So Father, I just thank you, Father,

1531
01:14:46.800 --> 01:14:49.600
that you are raising up an army, Father God,

1532
01:14:49.600 --> 01:14:50.880
of mothers and fathers.

1533
01:14:50.880 --> 01:14:52.360
This is through relationship.

1534
01:14:52.360 --> 01:14:55.840
Father, I ask Lord that as they leave this place this week,

1535
01:14:55.840 --> 01:14:59.400
Lord God, that you would highlight people in their life,

1536
01:14:59.400 --> 01:15:00.240
Father, that's.

1537
01:15:00.000 --> 01:15:02.920
sons and daughters, people that their neighbors got.

1538
01:15:02.920 --> 01:15:05.880
Even right now, I see that the Lord is dropping names.

1539
01:15:05.880 --> 01:15:08.200
He's dropping people in your heart.

1540
01:15:08.200 --> 01:15:09.680
And you know, it doesn't even have to be

1541
01:15:09.680 --> 01:15:12.800
that they're homosexual or transgender or whatever.

1542
01:15:12.800 --> 01:15:17.440
Everybody needs to know who God says they are, right?

1543
01:15:17.440 --> 01:15:19.360
That's how the kingdom of God is advanced.

1544
01:15:19.360 --> 01:15:22.260
And so Father, I thank you that you are mobilizing us.

1545
01:15:22.260 --> 01:15:25.160
Father, not only to receive who you say we are,

1546
01:15:25.160 --> 01:15:28.600
but to speak out and declare over this next generation.

1547
01:15:28.680 --> 01:15:30.800
And Father, I ask in Jesus' name

1548
01:15:30.800 --> 01:15:34.140
that the tide would turn of identity in this generation.

1549
01:15:34.140 --> 01:15:37.000
Father, that there would be a restoration,

1550
01:15:37.000 --> 01:15:41.200
a dignity restored to sons and daughters,

1551
01:15:41.200 --> 01:15:42.720
to boys and girls.

1552
01:15:42.720 --> 01:15:46.240
Father, we break the spirit of confusion

1553
01:15:46.240 --> 01:15:49.320
that is on the education system right now.

1554
01:15:49.320 --> 01:15:51.720
Father God, we declare.

1555
01:15:51.720 --> 01:15:56.720
I just declare that it is no longer cool to be gay.

1556
01:15:58.880 --> 01:16:01.640
That is no longer cool to change your gender.

1557
01:16:01.640 --> 01:16:03.320
That is no longer cool.

1558
01:16:03.320 --> 01:16:05.240
Father, we just declare right now

1559
01:16:05.240 --> 01:16:08.520
that you would infuse your spirit in your sons,

1560
01:16:08.520 --> 01:16:11.800
in your daughters, because there is work to be done.

1561
01:16:11.800 --> 01:16:16.240
And we need the identity of restoration, Father God.

1562
01:16:16.240 --> 01:16:18.040
We thank you, Lord.

1563
01:16:18.040 --> 01:16:19.040
Not on our watch.

1564
01:16:19.040 --> 01:16:20.320
Come on, let's just say that together.

1565
01:16:20.320 --> 01:16:22.360
Not on my watch.

1566
01:16:24.000 --> 01:16:26.520
When you see people,

1567
01:16:26.520 --> 01:16:29.780
when you see these kids that are confused,

1568
01:16:29.780 --> 01:16:31.100
do not judge them.

1569
01:16:33.200 --> 01:16:37.160
You love them, and you now have a solution

1570
01:16:37.160 --> 01:16:41.400
to see them no longer regarding them as the flesh,

1571
01:16:42.760 --> 01:16:44.220
according to the flesh.

1572
01:16:44.220 --> 01:16:47.600
But you're gonna see them as heaven sees them.

1573
01:16:47.600 --> 01:16:49.640
You're gonna declare it into them

1574
01:16:49.640 --> 01:16:52.480
until you see a manifestation of that identity shift,

1575
01:16:52.480 --> 01:16:54.200
just as I did with my daughter.

1576
01:16:54.200 --> 01:16:55.440
You are not shy.

1577
01:16:55.440 --> 01:16:57.040
You are the lion of the tribe of Judah.

1578
01:16:57.040 --> 01:17:00.920
It took a while, but the constant declaration,

1579
01:17:00.920 --> 01:17:04.240
the constant belief, the constant treating of them

1580
01:17:04.240 --> 01:17:07.840
as if they already were that will bring them through.

1581
01:17:07.840 --> 01:17:08.980
I really believe it, you guys.

1582
01:17:08.980 --> 01:17:09.820
Let's do it.

1583
01:17:09.820 --> 01:17:10.640
Let's commit to it.

1584
01:17:10.640 --> 01:17:12.020
So we thank you, Father.

1585
01:17:12.020 --> 01:17:14.120
We thank you that your thoughts towards us

1586
01:17:14.120 --> 01:17:16.600
are as numerous as the sands of a seashore, God.

1587
01:17:16.600 --> 01:17:18.000
They are good thoughts.

1588
01:17:18.000 --> 01:17:19.360
They are precious thoughts.

1589
01:17:20.080 --> 01:17:22.240
And Father, I do pray, Lord, that you would raise up,

1590
01:17:22.240 --> 01:17:26.200
even in this place, Father, strategies, schools.

1591
01:17:26.200 --> 01:17:29.200
Father, I see more identity schools, identity camps.

1592
01:17:29.200 --> 01:17:31.360
Father, I see that they're being raised up.

1593
01:17:31.360 --> 01:17:34.640
Father, I see even like an identity training,

1594
01:17:34.640 --> 01:17:37.480
it's interesting, into the education system

1595
01:17:37.480 --> 01:17:40.680
that it would be worked into even the curriculum

1596
01:17:40.680 --> 01:17:42.120
of an education system.

1597
01:17:42.120 --> 01:17:44.200
I feel like that's something that's gonna be developed,

1598
01:17:44.200 --> 01:17:46.520
and it might even come from this place.

1599
01:17:46.520 --> 01:17:48.180
So Father, I thank you, Lord,

1600
01:17:48.180 --> 01:17:53.180
that you already have those that are going before, Lord,

1601
01:17:54.020 --> 01:17:55.740
the forerunners of faith right now.

1602
01:17:55.740 --> 01:17:56.620
We thank you.

1603
01:17:56.620 --> 01:17:57.580
We love you.

1604
01:17:57.580 --> 01:17:59.340
We thank you that you poured out your spirit

1605
01:17:59.340 --> 01:18:03.740
on all flesh, God, so that we can know the voice of God,

1606
01:18:03.740 --> 01:18:05.700
and that we can declare your good thoughts

1607
01:18:05.700 --> 01:18:06.980
towards the world around us.

1608
01:18:06.980 --> 01:18:09.080
In Jesus' name, amen.

1609
01:18:09.080 --> 01:18:09.920
Amen.

1610
01:18:09.920 --> 01:18:10.740
Amen.

1611
01:18:10.740 --> 01:18:11.580
Amen.

1612
01:18:11.580 --> 01:18:12.420
Amen.

1613
01:18:12.420 --> 01:18:14.420
Come on, let's thank the Lord.

1614
01:18:14.420 --> 01:18:15.260
Yes, Lord.

1615
01:18:15.260 --> 01:18:16.080
Yes, Lord.

1616
01:18:16.080 --> 01:18:16.920
Yes, Lord.

1617
01:18:17.920 --> 01:18:19.760
Thank you for Bethany, Lord.

1618
01:18:19.760 --> 01:18:21.060
Thank you for that word.

1619
01:18:22.320 --> 01:18:23.760
Hey, Ben's coming to close.

1620
01:18:23.760 --> 01:18:25.060
Ben, you can come on up.

1621
01:18:25.060 --> 01:18:26.720
Ben's coming to close this session,

1622
01:18:26.720 --> 01:18:31.720
but Bethany mentioned that we have this identity camp module

1623
01:18:31.820 --> 01:18:34.160
and we have some of our third-year trainers,

1624
01:18:34.160 --> 01:18:37.040
certified trainers in the room who do identity camp.

1625
01:18:37.040 --> 01:18:40.320
Would you guys that are in that third-year program,

1626
01:18:40.320 --> 01:18:42.180
would you just come stand across the front

1627
01:18:42.180 --> 01:18:45.120
so that if people have question about an identity camp

1628
01:18:45.120 --> 01:18:48.400
or they wanna have one of you guys come in

1629
01:18:48.400 --> 01:18:51.680
and teach an identity camp kind of thing,

1630
01:18:51.680 --> 01:18:54.520
these guys, just be right across the front there

1631
01:18:54.520 --> 01:18:59.200
and they can answer questions or talk to you more

1632
01:18:59.200 --> 01:19:03.160
about even what they've seen in that certification process.

1633
01:19:03.160 --> 01:19:04.800
And we've got some online as well,

1634
01:19:04.800 --> 01:19:08.640
so if you guys wanna raise your digital hand online

1635
01:19:08.640 --> 01:19:11.360
so that they can also connect to you.

1636
01:19:11.360 --> 01:19:12.920
Man, I see you guys online.

1637
01:19:12.920 --> 01:19:13.760
I see tears.

1638
01:19:13.760 --> 01:19:15.000
I saw people cheering.

1639
01:19:15.840 --> 01:19:16.680
I saw people going for it.

1640
01:19:16.680 --> 01:19:19.400
We love our online community as well.

1641
01:19:19.400 --> 01:19:20.880
God bless you guys.

1642
01:19:20.880 --> 01:19:21.720
Yeah.

1643
01:19:21.720 --> 01:19:26.720
And just before we send you to dinner,

1644
01:19:27.480 --> 01:19:29.320
don't forget tonight,

1645
01:19:29.320 --> 01:19:31.300

1646
01:19:31.300 --> 01:19:33.920

1647
01:19:33.920 --> 01:19:35.360
because we have sound check and stuff

1648
01:19:35.360 --> 01:19:37.560

1649
01:19:37.560 --> 01:19:41.760
But at 6 p.m., we have our dessert social right over here.

1650
01:19:41.760 --> 01:19:43.180
You won't wanna miss that.

01:19:43.180 --> 01:19:45.980
And all of our art's gonna be over there.

1652
01:19:45.980 --> 01:19:47.980
And then for those of you online,

1653
01:19:47.980 --> 01:19:52.420

1654
01:19:52.420 --> 01:19:53.460

01:19:58.700 --> 01:20:00.020
And then session starts.

1658
01:20:00.000 --> 01:20:01.880
Love you all, see you soon.
