00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:16.000
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I won't be alone.

2
00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:17.000
Come on, sing it!

3
00:00:17.000 --> 00:00:46.000
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I won't be alone.

4
00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:53.000
You're my shepherd, you're my keeper, my provider, my protector.

5
00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:56.000
You surround me, you're in it.

6
00:00:56.000 --> 00:00:58.000
You're the goodness, you're the comfort.

7
00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:04.000
Oh, you are the goodness, you're the goodness, you're the comfort.

8
00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:07.000
You're my first love, my whole future.

9
00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:10.000
You surround me, you're in it.

10
00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:12.000
You surround me, you're in it.

11
00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:47.000
Love you.

12
00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:52.000
Hello, hello, hello, School of the Prophets.

13
00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:55.000
How is everyone?

14
00:01:55.000 --> 00:01:56.000
Are you doing good?

15
00:01:56.000 --> 00:01:58.000
Are you awake?

16
00:01:58.000 --> 00:01:59.000
Yes?

17
00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:02.000
How about all our friends online?

18
00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:04.000
How's everyone doing?

19
00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:14.000
I am going to bring up some testimonies because I want you to know some of the stuff that God is doing.

20
00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:18.000
Let me find that list.

21
00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:19.000
Look at this.

22
00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:23.000
Okay, how many want to hear some testimonies?

23
00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:24.000
All right.

24
00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:30.000
Okay, someone this morning took out their hearing aid and they could hear.

25
00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:31.000
Come on.

26
00:02:31.000 --> 00:02:34.000
How many remember the ears we went after?

27
00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:40.000
I already shared that vertigo testimony last night when we prayed for ears.

28
00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:45.000
Someone put their hands on their ears and all of a sudden the vertigo left.

29
00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:47.000
I'm like, that's awesome.

30
00:02:47.000 --> 00:02:52.000
Migraine headaches healed in the middle of community group.

31
00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:56.000
I love when we're in community and breakthrough happens.

32
00:02:56.000 --> 00:02:57.000
Amen.

33
00:02:57.000 --> 00:03:00.000
And then this is another one.

34
00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:08.000
I think Shannon had her neck and spine had pinched nerves and God healed her.

35
00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:18.000
And this is so important because she's a full-time caregiver for her son and it's super painful to lift, but now no pain.

36
00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:21.000
Come on.

37
00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:30.000
God is our healer and I love what he's doing here at School of Prophets and I love when people get healed.

38
00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:32.000
Hey, we're going to give some prizes away.

39
00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:34.000
That's why you're in the room, huh?

40
00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:41.000
No, you're actually here because you love all the teaching and you're ready for another activation with Bethany Hicks.

41
00:03:41.000 --> 00:03:44.000
She's so incredible at activations.

42
00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:45.000
I love it.

43
00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:49.000
But we get to, what are we giving away here?

44
00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:50.000
Okay.

45
00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:55.000
We are giving away an e-course from Dano, Prophecy 103.

46
00:03:55.000 --> 00:03:59.000
That's not 101, 102, but 103.

47
00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:00.000
Sounds pretty advanced.

48
00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:02.000
Who wants that one?

49
00:04:02.000 --> 00:04:04.000
Of course you do.

50
00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:07.000
Everyone online, everyone in person wants that stuff.

51
00:04:07.000 --> 00:04:10.000
So what we're going to do is we're going to do our wheel for online.

52
00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:13.000
So let's see.

53
00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:15.000
Where are we at?

54
00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:18.000
We're accelerating our prophetic calling.

55
00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:19.000
Come on, here we go.

56
00:04:19.000 --> 00:04:20.000
Here's the wheel.

57
00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:21.000
Go ahead and press that wheel.

58
00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:24.000
Drum roll.

59
00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:25.000
Here we go.

60
00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:29.000
Who wins prophetic 103 e-course?

61
00:04:29.000 --> 00:04:32.000
Dun, dun, dun, dun.

62
00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:37.000
Russell, Victor, online, give a hand for Russell.

63
00:04:37.000 --> 00:04:38.000
Come on, Russell.

64
00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:46.000
We will email you and get you all the information on how to redeem your e-course.

65
00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:50.000
And then for in the room, okay, who are we going to win here?

66
00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:51.000
Spinning.

67
00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:53.000
Come on.

68
00:04:53.000 --> 00:04:56.000
Drum roll.

69
00:04:56.000 --> 00:05:00.000
I hope they're in the room.

70
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:12.640
Judy Chow! Judy! Where are you? She's your wife? Where is she? Oh, we'll allow that to happen.

71
00:05:12.640 --> 00:05:25.360
Yeah, yeah. I got you. See, hey, they're one. So they're in the room. All right, so we'll email you

72
00:05:25.760 --> 00:05:31.280
and get you your course. Hey, I want you to let you know that between five and seven o'clock,

73
00:05:31.280 --> 00:05:38.240
and they were out here earlier as well, BraveCo, our men's ministry, they have some amazing

74
00:05:38.240 --> 00:05:45.200
resources, amazing things going on. And we would love for you to partner with BraveCo

75
00:05:45.200 --> 00:05:52.160
and everything God's doing. We believe there is a movement of men that is sweeping across not only

76
00:05:52.160 --> 00:05:59.040
America, but of the world. And really, it is a mandate of the prophetic. It's the restoration

77
00:05:59.040 --> 00:06:06.160
of the fathers to the children. And God is restoring healthy fatherhood, healthy masculinity

78
00:06:06.160 --> 00:06:12.080
as well. And this is such a vital ministry to everything we're doing. Jason Vallotton is doing

79
00:06:12.080 --> 00:06:19.840
incredible resourcing men. And we want you to know more about that. They'll be out there between five

80
00:06:19.920 --> 00:06:26.320
and seven o'clock. So check them out during our break. And then other than that, let me see.

81
00:06:30.480 --> 00:06:37.360
Welcome Bethany Hicks for activating. Oh, yeah. Okay. Joking. Why don't you stand to your feet

82
00:06:37.360 --> 00:06:46.960
and welcome Bethany as she comes to lead us in our activations. All right. Thanks, guys.

83
00:06:47.920 --> 00:06:53.440
All right. So I promised that we were going to do an activation connected to the prophetic identity

84
00:06:53.440 --> 00:06:58.800
message I did yesterday. How many of you guys genuinely would say that message helped you

85
00:06:58.800 --> 00:07:05.040
yesterday? Like, that is awesome. I mean, I've had already so many people come up and tell me like,

86
00:07:05.040 --> 00:07:10.080
hey, for decades, it literally brought deliverance for decades of false names that they didn't even

87
00:07:10.080 --> 00:07:15.280
know that they were walking with. And again, I believe that alignment. I didn't get a chance

88
00:07:15.280 --> 00:07:21.040
to say this yesterday. But for those of you who answered that mandate and said, yes, I'm going to

89
00:07:21.040 --> 00:07:25.920
go out, I'm going to declare prophetic identity over people. I want to encourage you guys, because

90
00:07:25.920 --> 00:07:31.360
I do believe that if you are going up to somebody, let's say I go up to Ben and Ben is not a believer

91
00:07:31.360 --> 00:07:35.840
yet, right? What's your name? What's your first name? Benjamin. I mean, what does it mean?

92
00:07:37.840 --> 00:07:43.680
Son of my right hand. I love that. Come on. Son of my right hand, Armstrong. Like, that's literally

93
00:07:43.680 --> 00:07:52.720
Ben's name. And his middle name is Joseph, which obviously the dreamer. Okay, so he's obviously

94
00:07:52.720 --> 00:07:59.680
living out his destiny, right? But okay, so let's say, for example, Ben wasn't a believer yet, right?

95
00:07:59.680 --> 00:08:03.600
He doesn't know anything about God, and I'm somebody who wants to call out that prophetic

96
00:08:03.600 --> 00:08:07.680
identity, right? We're going to start being an answer and bringing this transformation to

97
00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:13.120
the identity crisis. Okay, so if I am a friend of Ben's and I'm like, Ben, I just feel like

98
00:08:13.760 --> 00:08:19.280
wow, man, I just feel like you are such a strength and support to others around you. Like, you're

99
00:08:19.280 --> 00:08:23.840
really strong and that I feel like you're really gifted at dreams and stuff. So do you see what

100
00:08:23.840 --> 00:08:29.120
I'm doing? I'm starting to like speak into his heavenly identity. Okay, this is what I believe.

101
00:08:29.120 --> 00:08:34.799
Do you guys remember when I was talking on the second day about the piano chord with the guitar

102
00:08:34.799 --> 00:08:40.159
chord when you strum it? I believe that as you're speaking to people that have no context for God,

103
00:08:40.159 --> 00:08:45.920
no context for kingdom, that as you speak the truth of who God says they are, there's going to

104
00:08:45.920 --> 00:08:52.720
be like, you're literally sending out that piano chord of his voice. And deep within, because that's

105
00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:58.800
how they were created, there's going to be something that begins to resonate or vibrate with the truth

106
00:08:58.800 --> 00:09:03.680
of that heavenly identity. And I believe that what's going to happen is, as you continue to

107
00:09:03.680 --> 00:09:09.120
reinforce that, that it's going to be like a seed planted in them, and then it comes to the

108
00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:12.320
surface. I mean, some people are going to have a lot of junk and lies that they're going to have to

109
00:09:12.320 --> 00:09:17.360
work through, but that seed of truth is going to resonate because it's his voice speaking to them.

110
00:09:17.360 --> 00:09:23.040
Did you want to say? I can tell you do. This is exactly what happened last night when the guitar

111
00:09:23.040 --> 00:09:29.360
prophesied over you. A lady actually just a few minutes ago, she just came up to me and said,

112
00:09:29.360 --> 00:09:35.680
actually it was crazy because I was worshiping in the room and I could feel that. And she said to

113
00:09:35.760 --> 00:09:43.040
God, God, am I a harp? Because I feel like I'm vibrating with this very thing. And that

114
00:09:43.040 --> 00:09:49.600
the guitar actually released the prophetic ability for transformation into your truest identity.

115
00:09:49.600 --> 00:09:52.880
And it's an exact example of what you're actually talking about.

116
00:09:53.920 --> 00:09:59.360
So again, I want to give you guys just some practical tips on how to prophesy using names.

117
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:03.760
do an activation today, prophesying over names.

118
00:10:03.760 --> 00:10:05.560
So I'm gonna give you three ways

119
00:10:05.560 --> 00:10:07.680
that we can prophesy using names.

120
00:10:07.680 --> 00:10:09.880
And every time we give you activation,

121
00:10:09.880 --> 00:10:11.800
I also wanna give you the biblical basis

122
00:10:11.800 --> 00:10:13.160
because I want you to know, first of all,

123
00:10:13.160 --> 00:10:14.280
that it's rooted in scripture.

124
00:10:14.280 --> 00:10:16.400
We're not just giving you association methods

125
00:10:16.400 --> 00:10:17.360
that we made up.

126
00:10:17.360 --> 00:10:19.720
It actually are ways that God prophesied

127
00:10:19.720 --> 00:10:21.720
and we can see in the word.

128
00:10:21.720 --> 00:10:24.920
So the first way that you can prophesy using names

129
00:10:24.920 --> 00:10:28.140
is the etymology or the meaning of a name.

130
00:10:28.980 --> 00:10:31.780
Okay, the meaning of a name.

131
00:10:31.780 --> 00:10:33.500
You know, I talked about this yesterday,

132
00:10:33.500 --> 00:10:36.280
but Abram was called exalted father

133
00:10:36.280 --> 00:10:38.740
and God said, you will no longer be called Abram,

134
00:10:38.740 --> 00:10:41.780
but Abraham for you will be a father of many nations.

135
00:10:41.780 --> 00:10:43.920
So in order for his destiny to come forth,

136
00:10:43.920 --> 00:10:46.800
he actually needed that identity upgrade.

137
00:10:46.800 --> 00:10:49.400
And the way that God did that was through a name.

138
00:10:49.400 --> 00:10:52.780
So my name, Bethany, means house of figs

139
00:10:52.780 --> 00:10:57.780
and figs often signify fruitfulness, peace, and prosperity.

140
00:10:57.900 --> 00:11:02.540
And that is something that has absolutely marked my life.

141
00:11:02.540 --> 00:11:05.700
Again, I shared that story yesterday with my son, Ethan,

142
00:11:05.700 --> 00:11:09.240
where his name means strong and steadfast, right?

143
00:11:09.240 --> 00:11:11.300
And I would declare that over him and he is,

144
00:11:11.300 --> 00:11:16.300
he's like, his whole personality is like even keeled

145
00:11:16.460 --> 00:11:19.020
and just strong and steadfast and unmovable.

146
00:11:19.020 --> 00:11:21.460
Like you cannot make him do something he doesn't wanna do.

147
00:11:21.460 --> 00:11:23.860
And that's the way God created him.

148
00:11:23.860 --> 00:11:26.100
And you actually can see it in his name.

149
00:11:26.100 --> 00:11:29.400
So the meaning of a name is one of the ways

150
00:11:29.400 --> 00:11:31.180
that you can prophesy.

151
00:11:31.180 --> 00:11:36.020
Second way you can prophesy is name association.

152
00:11:36.020 --> 00:11:37.260
Name association.

153
00:11:37.260 --> 00:11:40.340
And this is where if you meet someone,

154
00:11:40.340 --> 00:11:43.060
someone who has that same name

155
00:11:43.060 --> 00:11:46.140
or someone they remind you of,

156
00:11:46.140 --> 00:11:49.900
you would prophesy to that person from that character,

157
00:11:49.900 --> 00:11:52.140
that nature, or something that God is speaking to you

158
00:11:52.140 --> 00:11:55.740
about someone with the same name, right?

159
00:11:56.460 --> 00:12:00.140
For example, and we find this in Zechariah 12, eight,

160
00:12:00.140 --> 00:12:01.740
where it says, on the day of the Lord,

161
00:12:01.740 --> 00:12:04.460
we'll shield those who live in Jerusalem

162
00:12:04.460 --> 00:12:07.460
so that the feeblest among them will be like David

163
00:12:07.460 --> 00:12:10.080
and the house of David will be like God,

164
00:12:10.080 --> 00:12:12.720
like the angel of the Lord going before them.

165
00:12:12.720 --> 00:12:15.280
So we can see that there's kind of this connection,

166
00:12:15.280 --> 00:12:16.540
this association.

167
00:12:16.540 --> 00:12:18.640
So for example, my name, Bethany,

168
00:12:18.640 --> 00:12:20.660
the meaning of the name is house of figs,

169
00:12:20.660 --> 00:12:24.420
but it was also the place in, right?

170
00:12:24.420 --> 00:12:25.840
There was a place in the Bible.

171
00:12:25.840 --> 00:12:27.780
It was the place where,

172
00:12:27.780 --> 00:12:30.900
it was Jesus's favorite place to hang out, right?

173
00:12:30.900 --> 00:12:32.960
So Jesus loves to rest in me.

174
00:12:32.960 --> 00:12:34.580
He loves to hang out with me.

175
00:12:34.580 --> 00:12:37.340
But also it was a place where Mary, Martha,

176
00:12:37.340 --> 00:12:38.540
and Lazarus lived.

177
00:12:38.540 --> 00:12:40.860
And I remember one time someone gave me this word,

178
00:12:40.860 --> 00:12:43.540
like, I feel like you have a resurrection anointing.

179
00:12:43.540 --> 00:12:44.900
And then they would prophesy

180
00:12:44.900 --> 00:12:46.860
because Bethany was the place

181
00:12:46.860 --> 00:12:49.500
where Lazarus was resurrected, right?

182
00:12:49.500 --> 00:12:50.340
And they're like,

183
00:12:50.340 --> 00:12:52.260
so I just feel like you have a resurrection anointing.

184
00:12:52.260 --> 00:12:53.100
And you know what?

185
00:12:53.100 --> 00:12:53.940
I do.

186
00:12:54.620 --> 00:12:58.580
I have prayed for someone to be resurrected before,

187
00:12:58.580 --> 00:12:59.980
and they wanted to stay in heaven.

188
00:12:59.980 --> 00:13:01.240
Who could blame them?

189
00:13:01.240 --> 00:13:04.620
But you know what's happened

190
00:13:04.620 --> 00:13:08.220
is I have gone into churches, into ministries,

191
00:13:08.220 --> 00:13:12.140
into schools that were either dying or had died.

192
00:13:12.140 --> 00:13:14.380
And I would step into that.

193
00:13:14.380 --> 00:13:15.620
And my presence there,

194
00:13:15.620 --> 00:13:18.820
I had an anointing to bring those places back to life

195
00:13:18.820 --> 00:13:20.180
so that they're still thriving

196
00:13:20.180 --> 00:13:22.360
and they're still going on even today.

197
00:13:22.400 --> 00:13:26.680
So I have seen that resurrection anointing in my life,

198
00:13:26.680 --> 00:13:30.400
and it's found in my name, that name association.

199
00:13:30.400 --> 00:13:33.000
We were in New Zealand several years ago,

200
00:13:33.000 --> 00:13:34.920
and I was partnering up with someone.

201
00:13:34.920 --> 00:13:36.340
Her name was Kim.

202
00:13:36.340 --> 00:13:38.640
And when I partnered with her,

203
00:13:38.640 --> 00:13:41.720
immediately I heard Kim Possible.

204
00:13:41.720 --> 00:13:45.640
Now Kim Possible, I've never even seen the TV show,

205
00:13:45.640 --> 00:13:48.200
but Kim Possible is a cartoon

206
00:13:48.200 --> 00:13:50.380
about a girl who's a teenager by day,

207
00:13:50.380 --> 00:13:52.040
and she goes to high school.

208
00:13:52.720 --> 00:13:54.000
And at night, she's a superhero.

209
00:13:54.000 --> 00:13:55.800
So because I've learned

210
00:13:55.800 --> 00:13:57.520
that this is one of the ways God speaks,

211
00:13:57.520 --> 00:14:00.120
I didn't immediately dismiss it, right?

212
00:14:00.120 --> 00:14:01.560
We're talking about one of the ways

213
00:14:01.560 --> 00:14:04.160
that God speaks to us through names association.

214
00:14:04.160 --> 00:14:07.000
So what was it about Kim Possible

215
00:14:07.000 --> 00:14:08.400
that God was speaking through?

216
00:14:08.400 --> 00:14:10.240
So I prophesied over her.

217
00:14:10.240 --> 00:14:11.680
I feel like the Lord has called you,

218
00:14:11.680 --> 00:14:13.960
like you're called to do the impossible

219
00:14:13.960 --> 00:14:15.800
and command mountains to flee.

220
00:14:15.800 --> 00:14:18.760
And you know, just like how God created her

221
00:14:18.760 --> 00:14:21.360
to actually overcome impossible things.

222
00:14:21.360 --> 00:14:23.320
So after I shared that with her,

223
00:14:23.320 --> 00:14:26.000
she told me that she was a young woman,

224
00:14:26.000 --> 00:14:28.780
and she was just in the middle of going through,

225
00:14:28.780 --> 00:14:29.820
she had breast cancer,

226
00:14:29.820 --> 00:14:34.160
and she was dealing with this particular disease.

227
00:14:34.160 --> 00:14:35.620
And you know what?

228
00:14:35.620 --> 00:14:37.600
That word, it wasn't just something

229
00:14:37.600 --> 00:14:39.060
that God was gonna do for her,

230
00:14:39.060 --> 00:14:42.000
it was something that God created her to be.

231
00:14:42.000 --> 00:14:46.160
So she now was empowered to be, I am Kim Possible.

232
00:14:46.160 --> 00:14:48.240
And she was able to speak to that mountain

233
00:14:48.240 --> 00:14:49.720
and tell it to be removed.

234
00:14:49.800 --> 00:14:51.600
And about maybe three months later,

235
00:14:51.600 --> 00:14:54.600
I heard back from her that she was completely cancer-free.

236
00:14:54.600 --> 00:14:57.600
And then she's had like several children since then.

237
00:14:57.600 --> 00:14:59.160
But again, I want you to catch here,

238
00:14:59.160 --> 00:15:00.000
it wasn't just.

239
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:03.880
God revealing himself as healer, it was God had anointed her

240
00:15:03.880 --> 00:15:07.160
and it was within her name to actually overcome

241
00:15:07.160 --> 00:15:10.240
the impossible circumstances that were in front of her.

242
00:15:10.240 --> 00:15:13.480
So that's a second way that you can prophesy

243
00:15:13.480 --> 00:15:15.800
over someone's name is somebody

244
00:15:15.800 --> 00:15:17.560
or something that they remind you of.

245
00:15:17.560 --> 00:15:22.560
And then thirdly, you can prophesy with a similar sound.

246
00:15:23.400 --> 00:15:26.840
Okay, this is where it sounds like something else,

247
00:15:26.840 --> 00:15:28.480
kind of like a homophone.

248
00:15:28.560 --> 00:15:31.960
Ben had referenced it this morning out of Jeremiah

249
00:15:31.960 --> 00:15:36.040
where we see that God actually used a similar sound

250
00:15:36.040 --> 00:15:39.080
to prophesy where he was asking Jeremiah,

251
00:15:39.080 --> 00:15:40.200
what do you see?

252
00:15:40.200 --> 00:15:44.280
You know, and he says, I see the rod of a shaked tree,

253
00:15:44.280 --> 00:15:45.400
almond tree, right?

254
00:15:45.400 --> 00:15:47.440
Shaked, that's in the Hebrew.

255
00:15:47.440 --> 00:15:49.040
And the Lord says, you've seen well

256
00:15:49.040 --> 00:15:53.040
for I'm watching, shakad, my word to perform it.

257
00:15:53.040 --> 00:15:55.640
So the Lord used a similar sound,

258
00:15:55.680 --> 00:15:58.720
play on words, shaked, shakad,

259
00:15:58.720 --> 00:16:01.680
to actually release a prophetic word.

260
00:16:01.680 --> 00:16:05.040
And so again, we can see God using a many times

261
00:16:05.040 --> 00:16:07.520
a similar sound to prophesy.

262
00:16:07.520 --> 00:16:12.400
So for example, you guys, my name Bethany,

263
00:16:12.400 --> 00:16:15.480
again, I've had people say Bethany and like, oh, Bethesda,

264
00:16:15.480 --> 00:16:16.920
like it's a similar sound.

265
00:16:16.920 --> 00:16:19.480
And what does that remind them of?

266
00:16:19.480 --> 00:16:21.160
They would prophesy like, oh, I feel like you have

267
00:16:21.160 --> 00:16:24.160
a healing anointing on your life, you know,

268
00:16:24.160 --> 00:16:26.120
or they would maybe prophesy from the pool.

269
00:16:26.120 --> 00:16:29.640
And that absolutely resonates with me.

270
00:16:29.640 --> 00:16:32.960
I know we were again in New Zealand

271
00:16:32.960 --> 00:16:37.080
and this lady or this man came up to Dano

272
00:16:37.080 --> 00:16:38.200
and they're like, you know what?

273
00:16:38.200 --> 00:16:41.640
When I first heard your name Dano, I heard Drano.

274
00:16:42.880 --> 00:16:45.920
And if you know what Drano is, it's like a chemical

275
00:16:45.920 --> 00:16:48.000
or a liquid to unclog like toilets

276
00:16:48.000 --> 00:16:50.000
and sinks and stuff like that.

277
00:16:50.000 --> 00:16:52.120
They're like, I just feel like you have this ability

278
00:16:52.120 --> 00:16:54.200
to get people unstuck.

279
00:16:54.200 --> 00:16:56.920
And there's like areas that maybe are too complex

280
00:16:56.920 --> 00:16:59.000
or they maybe seem too mysterious

281
00:16:59.000 --> 00:17:02.000
and you have this ability to bring this clear path to them

282
00:17:02.000 --> 00:17:04.040
and help them get unstuck.

283
00:17:04.040 --> 00:17:07.200
And like for Dano, that was like his favorite word.

284
00:17:07.200 --> 00:17:10.040
It still is to this day, like one of his favorite words.

285
00:17:10.040 --> 00:17:10.880
Why?

286
00:17:10.880 --> 00:17:14.000
Because he knows that God has given him the Drano anointing.

287
00:17:14.000 --> 00:17:16.560
So when he walks into a place and there's like,

288
00:17:16.560 --> 00:17:19.480
people are confused or they're stuck in an area,

289
00:17:19.480 --> 00:17:23.359
he's like, I am Drano and I'm here with the Drano anointing

290
00:17:23.359 --> 00:17:24.680
and I can get you unstuck.

291
00:17:24.680 --> 00:17:27.319
It's not just something I do, it's who I am.

292
00:17:30.520 --> 00:17:34.400
So do you guys see like, I hope this is awakening

293
00:17:34.400 --> 00:17:36.760
a hunger in you to get really excited

294
00:17:36.760 --> 00:17:39.040
about who God calls you to be

295
00:17:39.040 --> 00:17:41.280
because who he's made you to be,

296
00:17:41.280 --> 00:17:44.120
you just live from that place and then you own it.

297
00:17:44.120 --> 00:17:47.920
You own that authority and say, I am the light of the world.

298
00:17:47.920 --> 00:17:49.240
I am Drano.

299
00:17:50.080 --> 00:17:53.760
I have an anointing for resurrection and it's in my name.

300
00:17:53.760 --> 00:17:55.800
So we're gonna activate that today.

301
00:17:55.800 --> 00:17:59.320
Again, those three areas, the meaning of a name,

302
00:17:59.320 --> 00:18:01.800
a name association, what it reminds you of

303
00:18:01.800 --> 00:18:04.280
or somebody else or something it reminds you of,

304
00:18:04.280 --> 00:18:06.040
like my name is a place.

305
00:18:06.040 --> 00:18:08.040
And then of course, similar sound.

306
00:18:08.040 --> 00:18:10.000
So this is what it's gonna look like.

307
00:18:10.000 --> 00:18:12.680
And the online group,

308
00:18:12.680 --> 00:18:15.360
you guys are also gonna participate in this as well

309
00:18:15.360 --> 00:18:16.560
in your breakout rooms.

310
00:18:16.560 --> 00:18:20.000
So in a minute, I'm gonna ask you to get a partner

311
00:18:20.000 --> 00:18:21.960
and I want you to look at their name tag, okay?

312
00:18:21.960 --> 00:18:24.480
Right now, let's go off first names, okay?

313
00:18:24.480 --> 00:18:26.360
So you're gonna get their first name

314
00:18:26.360 --> 00:18:30.240
and this is really redeeming for a lot of people too

315
00:18:30.240 --> 00:18:32.100
who feel like maybe their parents

316
00:18:32.100 --> 00:18:33.800
gave them a name they didn't like.

317
00:18:33.800 --> 00:18:36.920
Like I told you guys about the policeman,

318
00:18:36.920 --> 00:18:38.960
his last name was Crook, right?

319
00:18:38.960 --> 00:18:40.760
I'm like, oh, your name's Justin.

320
00:18:40.760 --> 00:18:42.400
You're bringing justice to Crooks.

321
00:18:42.400 --> 00:18:44.760
Do you know how redeeming that was for him?

322
00:18:44.880 --> 00:18:46.360
And I know that some of you here

323
00:18:46.360 --> 00:18:48.980
have never loved your names for whatever reason.

324
00:18:48.980 --> 00:18:51.480
I feel like the Lord is actually gonna redeem

325
00:18:51.480 --> 00:18:54.640
his heavenly purpose for your name today.

326
00:18:54.640 --> 00:18:56.800
I really do think the Lord's gonna do that.

327
00:18:56.800 --> 00:19:01.000
Also, please bring your phones and record these words, okay?

328
00:19:01.000 --> 00:19:03.920
That is honestly, if you wanna steward prophetic words,

329
00:19:03.920 --> 00:19:04.960
you've gotta value it.

330
00:19:04.960 --> 00:19:06.920
And one of the most practical things you can do

331
00:19:06.920 --> 00:19:08.760
is to record the words right now

332
00:19:08.760 --> 00:19:11.520
so you can listen to them over and over and over.

333
00:19:11.520 --> 00:19:13.880
So you're gonna get a partner, look at their name.

334
00:19:13.880 --> 00:19:15.760
You are welcome to ask them,

335
00:19:15.760 --> 00:19:17.960
hey, do you know what your name means?

336
00:19:17.960 --> 00:19:21.160
If they don't know, you are welcome to Google it

337
00:19:21.160 --> 00:19:23.080
and look up, like I would do this all the time,

338
00:19:23.080 --> 00:19:25.460
Benjamin name meaning.

339
00:19:25.460 --> 00:19:27.320
And then you look at the name meaning

340
00:19:27.320 --> 00:19:29.800
and you're like, okay, what does that name mean?

341
00:19:29.800 --> 00:19:30.960
What does that speak to me?

342
00:19:30.960 --> 00:19:33.360
Holy Spirit, what are you saying through his name?

343
00:19:33.360 --> 00:19:35.120
Or if it's not the meaning of a name,

344
00:19:35.120 --> 00:19:38.240
maybe they say their name is Kim, like I shared you.

345
00:19:38.240 --> 00:19:40.840
Or like maybe they say their name is Terry.

346
00:19:40.840 --> 00:19:44.000
And immediately you think, oh, that scripture

347
00:19:44.000 --> 00:19:46.400
about that I'm going to Terry

348
00:19:46.400 --> 00:19:49.520
until you're filled with power from on high.

349
00:19:49.520 --> 00:19:52.280
So again, you might have this sense of a scripture

350
00:19:52.280 --> 00:19:53.880
or something connected to it.

351
00:19:53.880 --> 00:19:57.800
So pay attention to like the first impressions

352
00:19:57.800 --> 00:19:59.920
that you're getting from that, okay?

353
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:03.440
And then you're gonna prophesy, remember, our protocol,

354
00:20:03.440 --> 00:20:07.220
an encouraging, strengthening, or comforting word

355
00:20:07.220 --> 00:20:08.320
over your partner.

356
00:20:08.320 --> 00:20:10.080
You're gonna have 90 seconds each,

357
00:20:10.080 --> 00:20:13.720
but don't start until I tell you guys to start, okay?

358
00:20:13.720 --> 00:20:15.120
You guys ready for this?

359
00:20:15.120 --> 00:20:16.880
Are you got your phones?

360
00:20:16.880 --> 00:20:18.880
Okay, let's find a partner.

361
00:20:18.880 --> 00:20:20.200
I'm gonna try to do this a couple times.

362
00:20:20.200 --> 00:20:21.760
So let's quickly find a partner.

363
00:20:21.760 --> 00:20:23.400
It doesn't have to be across the room.

364
00:20:23.400 --> 00:20:24.920
Break an online community.

365
00:20:24.920 --> 00:20:27.680
You guys can go ahead, go into your breakout rooms.

366
00:20:27.680 --> 00:20:30.200
You guys will have 90 seconds each

367
00:20:30.200 --> 00:20:33.520
to prophesy over your names.

368
00:20:43.120 --> 00:20:47.240
That's crazy that your name is like literally double-double.

369
00:20:47.240 --> 00:20:49.360
It's like double portion of like strength.

370
00:20:51.000 --> 00:20:51.840
It's crazy.

371
00:20:56.040 --> 00:20:56.880
I know.

372
00:20:56.880 --> 00:20:59.960
He also got five times.

373
00:20:59.960 --> 00:21:01.960
He got five times.

374
00:21:01.960 --> 00:21:05.200
All right, if you need a partner, raise your hands.

375
00:21:05.200 --> 00:21:06.600
Raise your hand if you need a partner.

376
00:21:06.600 --> 00:21:07.840
There's a gentleman over here.

377
00:21:07.840 --> 00:21:09.480
Keep your hands up.

378
00:21:09.480 --> 00:21:10.320
All right, who else?

379
00:21:10.320 --> 00:21:12.720
You gotta kind of raise it higher, walk around, okay?

380
00:21:12.720 --> 00:21:13.880
Who else needs a partner?

381
00:21:13.880 --> 00:21:15.360
Sir, do you still need one?

382
00:21:15.360 --> 00:21:16.240
You can come up here.

383
00:21:16.240 --> 00:21:17.080
Oh, wait.

384
00:21:18.000 --> 00:21:19.880
All right, do you need a partner?

385
00:21:19.880 --> 00:21:20.840
Lisa, do you see him?

386
00:21:20.840 --> 00:21:22.120
Great, thank you.

387
00:21:22.120 --> 00:21:24.240
All right, shh.

388
00:21:25.040 --> 00:21:26.640
Awesome, look how anointed you guys are.

389
00:21:27.400 --> 00:21:28.240
You're like listening.

390
00:21:28.240 --> 00:21:29.280
Okay, does everyone have a partner?

391
00:21:29.280 --> 00:21:30.760
I wanna make sure we're all.

392
00:21:30.760 --> 00:21:32.920
Okay, if you need a partner, no.

393
00:21:32.920 --> 00:21:35.400
Okay, are you looking at each other's names?

394
00:21:35.400 --> 00:21:37.720
All right, look at their names.

395
00:21:37.720 --> 00:21:38.960
Prophesy an encouraging word.

396
00:21:38.960 --> 00:21:40.600
I'm gonna ask the first person to start.

397
00:21:40.600 --> 00:21:41.800
You'll have 90 seconds.

398
00:21:41.800 --> 00:21:45.240
Remember, we're fanning in the flame, the gift of God.

399
00:21:45.240 --> 00:21:46.760
All right, here we go.

400
00:21:46.760 --> 00:21:48.240
Ready, begin.

401
00:21:57.600 --> 00:22:07.360
Are you backwards or like anywhere?

402
00:22:12.800 --> 00:22:14.200
That's the word.

403
00:22:56.640 --> 00:23:24.960
All right, the first person should be done.

404
00:23:24.960 --> 00:23:30.280
Now it's your partner's turn, prophesying over your name.

405
00:23:30.280 --> 00:23:31.400
First person should be done.

406
00:23:31.400 --> 00:23:32.800
Now it's your partner's turn.

407
00:24:01.400 --> 00:24:29.720
Now it's your partner's turn.

408
00:24:29.720 --> 00:24:58.960
All right, time's up, time's up, time to stop.

409
00:24:59.720 --> 00:24:59.960
Time's up.

410
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:02.120
That beautiful flow.

411
00:25:02.120 --> 00:25:03.460
All right, let's check in.

412
00:25:06.000 --> 00:25:07.760
Awesome, don't move yet.

413
00:25:07.760 --> 00:25:09.240
Stay with your partners.

414
00:25:10.640 --> 00:25:12.080
Stay with your partners.

415
00:25:13.920 --> 00:25:17.160
Before you guys, before I activate you guys again,

416
00:25:17.160 --> 00:25:18.660
I wanna do another activation.

417
00:25:18.660 --> 00:25:20.200
So stay with your partners.

418
00:25:21.800 --> 00:25:23.080
Some of y'all have already moved.

419
00:25:23.080 --> 00:25:26.920
Okay, honestly, like how many of you guys

420
00:25:27.000 --> 00:25:29.160
really feel like the word you received

421
00:25:29.160 --> 00:25:31.240
really resonated through?

422
00:25:31.240 --> 00:25:34.540
Come on, that is so awesome.

423
00:25:34.540 --> 00:25:37.120
You know what's beautiful about this now?

424
00:25:37.120 --> 00:25:39.080
Is that everyone with a name tag

425
00:25:39.080 --> 00:25:40.920
is a target for the love of God.

426
00:25:43.400 --> 00:25:44.320
Right?

427
00:25:44.320 --> 00:25:48.160
So again, you can do this with anybody that you meet

428
00:25:48.160 --> 00:25:51.120
because I truly believe within the seeds of a person's name

429
00:25:51.120 --> 00:25:52.720
there's a prophetic identity.

430
00:25:52.720 --> 00:25:55.320
There's something that God wants to speak to.

431
00:25:55.320 --> 00:25:57.320
All right, we're gonna do one more activation.

432
00:25:57.320 --> 00:25:59.300
We're gonna put, again, a little weight on the bar

433
00:25:59.300 --> 00:26:00.680
with your same partner.

434
00:26:00.680 --> 00:26:01.880
And this time what we're gonna do,

435
00:26:01.880 --> 00:26:04.320
instead of prophesying over their name,

436
00:26:04.320 --> 00:26:07.060
what I want you to do is I want you to share

437
00:26:07.060 --> 00:26:10.040
with your partner the name of either like a business

438
00:26:10.040 --> 00:26:13.520
you own, a place you work at, a ministry you have,

439
00:26:13.520 --> 00:26:16.120
the name of your church, or even the street name,

440
00:26:17.280 --> 00:26:19.080
the name of the street that you live on.

441
00:26:19.080 --> 00:26:20.580
And you're gonna share that with them

442
00:26:20.580 --> 00:26:23.360
and they're gonna prophesy to the anointing of that.

443
00:26:23.360 --> 00:26:25.800
Did you know places have anointings too?

444
00:26:25.800 --> 00:26:28.440
Bethel is known as the house of God, right?

445
00:26:28.440 --> 00:26:31.520
And it's like we are literally like in the house of God.

446
00:26:31.520 --> 00:26:32.820
We are the house of God.

447
00:26:32.820 --> 00:26:35.640
But so many places in scripture it talks about like,

448
00:26:35.640 --> 00:26:37.920
and they named this place this

449
00:26:37.920 --> 00:26:39.600
because that's where God encountered them.

450
00:26:39.600 --> 00:26:41.080
There was an anointing.

451
00:26:41.080 --> 00:26:43.120
There was an identity that was related

452
00:26:43.120 --> 00:26:44.320
to the name of that place.

453
00:26:44.320 --> 00:26:46.680
And actually we can do the same thing

454
00:26:46.680 --> 00:26:49.600
through places and things like that.

455
00:26:49.600 --> 00:26:53.180
So again, think of a ministry that you are a part of

456
00:26:54.000 --> 00:26:55.860
that you own or a business maybe,

457
00:26:55.860 --> 00:26:57.540
if you wanted that prophesied over,

458
00:26:57.540 --> 00:27:00.300
or again, the name of your church

459
00:27:00.300 --> 00:27:01.860
or the name of your street name,

460
00:27:01.860 --> 00:27:03.580
share that with your partner.

461
00:27:03.580 --> 00:27:06.860
And you're gonna use the same tools that I just gave you.

462
00:27:06.860 --> 00:27:08.280
Okay, what's the meaning of it?

463
00:27:08.280 --> 00:27:09.220
What is it speaking to you?

464
00:27:09.220 --> 00:27:11.140
Is there an association with it?

465
00:27:11.140 --> 00:27:14.060
Or is there a similar sound asking Holy Spirit,

466
00:27:14.060 --> 00:27:16.940
Lord, what is it you wanna speak through these impressions

467
00:27:16.940 --> 00:27:20.040
and prophesy over that place to your partner?

468
00:27:20.040 --> 00:27:21.500
All right, you guys ready?

469
00:27:21.500 --> 00:27:22.340
So go ahead.

470
00:27:22.340 --> 00:27:24.500
I'm gonna give you guys just like a second to share.

471
00:27:24.500 --> 00:27:28.180
And I'm gonna start you guys with the first person.

472
00:27:28.180 --> 00:27:29.620
Again, those that are online,

473
00:27:29.620 --> 00:27:31.240
you're gonna do the same things.

474
00:27:31.240 --> 00:27:32.460
In your breakout rooms,

475
00:27:32.460 --> 00:27:34.620
you're gonna share the name of a place,

476
00:27:34.620 --> 00:27:37.140
a ministry, a street name,

477
00:27:37.140 --> 00:27:40.140
and then your partner's gonna prophesy over that.

478
00:27:40.140 --> 00:27:43.620
All right, you guys ready?

479
00:27:43.620 --> 00:27:44.820
Ready?

480
00:27:44.820 --> 00:27:46.960

prophesying the name over a ministry, a place.

00:30:17.000 --> 00:30:18.000
Yeah, let's go.

505
00:30:18.000 --> 00:30:32.000

506
00:30:32.000 --> 00:31:00.000
["Resurrection Power"]

507
00:31:00.000 --> 00:31:02.000
All right, time's up.

508
00:31:04.000 --> 00:31:05.000
Time's up.

509
00:31:07.000 --> 00:31:10.000
You guys can make your way back to your seats.

510
00:31:10.000 --> 00:31:12.000
Hey, for those of you guys online,

511
00:31:12.000 --> 00:31:14.000
we would love to hear some testimonies

512
00:31:14.000 --> 00:31:16.000
of a word that was meaningful to you

513
00:31:16.000 --> 00:31:18.000
that we just did on this activation.

514
00:31:18.000 --> 00:31:20.000
So even in the chat section,

515
00:31:20.000 --> 00:31:21.000
why don't you guys just post

516
00:31:21.000 --> 00:31:24.000
what the meaning of it was for your name

517
00:31:24.000 --> 00:31:26.000
and why it was meaningful to you

518
00:31:26.000 --> 00:31:29.000
so we can just celebrate what Jesus did for you.

519
00:31:29.000 --> 00:31:32.000
Go ahead and start posting those testimonies in the chat.

520
00:31:32.000 --> 00:31:34.000
For those of you guys in the room,

521
00:31:34.000 --> 00:31:36.000
you can make your way back to your seats.

522
00:31:40.000 --> 00:31:42.000
Got a lot of anointed people here.

523
00:31:43.000 --> 00:31:45.000
Told you, once you start the flow,

524
00:31:45.000 --> 00:31:46.000
it's hard to stop.

525
00:31:52.000 --> 00:31:55.000
How many of you guys received real revelation

526
00:31:55.000 --> 00:31:58.000
into the identity of a place or a ministry

527
00:31:58.000 --> 00:31:59.000
or something like that?

528
00:31:59.000 --> 00:32:00.000
That's awesome.

529
00:32:00.000 --> 00:32:03.000
I just, you guys, these things aren't accidents.

530
00:32:03.000 --> 00:32:04.000
You know what I mean?

531
00:32:04.000 --> 00:32:07.000
Like the McCollums used to live

532
00:32:07.000 --> 00:32:10.000
on Morningstar Way in Vacaville.

533
00:32:10.000 --> 00:32:11.000
You know what I mean?

534
00:32:11.000 --> 00:32:13.000
It's just not an accident.

535
00:32:13.000 --> 00:32:16.000
God can speak to us through these names.

536
00:32:18.000 --> 00:32:20.000
So I'm just gonna wrap it up

537
00:32:20.000 --> 00:32:22.000
like some of you all need to.

538
00:32:23.000 --> 00:32:26.000
Guys, this tool that I just gave you

539
00:32:26.000 --> 00:32:29.000
is a powerful tool to discover heavenly identity

540
00:32:29.000 --> 00:32:31.000
over yourself, over your family,

541
00:32:31.000 --> 00:32:33.000
over those that you're around.

542
00:32:33.000 --> 00:32:35.000
And then, again, if you wanna be part of this,

543
00:32:35.000 --> 00:32:38.000
what I truly believe is going to be

544
00:32:38.000 --> 00:32:42.000
a identity reformation, a prophetic identity reformation,

545
00:32:42.000 --> 00:32:44.000
those people that God highlights to you

546
00:32:44.000 --> 00:32:47.000
that you're supposed to speak truth into,

547
00:32:47.000 --> 00:32:49.000
this is a powerful tool to be like,

548
00:32:49.000 --> 00:32:51.000
okay, Holy Spirit, what are you saying

549
00:32:51.000 --> 00:32:53.000
over the meaning of their name?

550
00:32:53.000 --> 00:32:54.000
Write that down.

551
00:32:54.000 --> 00:32:56.000
Holy Spirit, just getting that intel

552
00:32:56.000 --> 00:32:58.000
so they're a heavenly identity,

553
00:32:58.000 --> 00:33:01.000
and then you start declaring that over that person

554
00:33:01.000 --> 00:33:03.000
until they start to see themselves

555
00:33:03.000 --> 00:33:05.000
the way that God sees them, amen?

556
00:33:05.000 --> 00:33:08.000
All right, guys, well, we get to welcome

557
00:33:08.000 --> 00:33:13.000
the Christ-bearer himself, Christopher Vallotton.

558
00:33:14.000 --> 00:33:16.000
I know, that's your name, right?

559
00:33:17.000 --> 00:33:19.000
Hey, I just wanna, can we,

560
00:33:19.000 --> 00:33:21.000
can you guys just extend your hands to him?

561
00:33:21.000 --> 00:33:23.000
I was just reading that your last name

562
00:33:23.000 --> 00:33:24.000
means strong and healthy.

563
00:33:24.000 --> 00:33:25.000
Did you know that?

564
00:33:27.000 --> 00:33:28.000
See?

565
00:33:28.000 --> 00:33:29.000
He's living out his identity.

566
00:33:29.000 --> 00:33:32.000
But five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10,

567
00:33:32.000 --> 00:33:39.000
11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20,

568
00:33:39.000 --> 00:33:42.000
21, 22, 23, 24, 25.

569
00:33:42.000 --> 00:33:43.000
He's living out his identity.

570
00:33:43.000 --> 00:33:45.000
But Father, we just released, Father,

571
00:33:45.000 --> 00:33:48.000
that heavenly identity of strength and health

572
00:33:48.000 --> 00:33:51.000
in the Vallotton family line, Lord God.

573
00:33:51.000 --> 00:33:55.000
Father, that there would be no sickness or disease

574
00:33:55.000 --> 00:33:57.000
that would bow at the name of Jesus,

575
00:33:57.000 --> 00:33:59.000
and this family would be known

576
00:33:59.000 --> 00:34:05.000
for just quality life into their 90s and beyond,

577
00:34:05.000 --> 00:34:08.000
however long they wanna live, Lord, honestly.

578
00:34:08.000 --> 00:34:10.000
Father, we thank you, and we just released right now

579
00:34:10.000 --> 00:34:14.000
your strength, your health, and Chris's body right now,

580
00:34:14.000 --> 00:34:17.000
Father, Father, that you would align everything

581
00:34:17.000 --> 00:34:20.000
according to what your blood has paid for,

582
00:34:20.000 --> 00:34:23.000
and we just thank you, Father, for who he is

583
00:34:23.000 --> 00:34:29.000
as a gift and the bearer of your face, Lord,

584
00:34:29.000 --> 00:34:32.000
of who you are, Jesus, like he truly is,

585
00:34:32.000 --> 00:34:35.000
the expression of Jesus in such a unique way.

586
00:34:35.000 --> 00:34:37.000
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

587
00:34:41.000 --> 00:34:42.000
Amen.

588
00:34:47.000 --> 00:34:48.000
You're good.

589
00:34:52.000 --> 00:34:55.000
Well, I hope you're having fun,

590
00:34:55.000 --> 00:34:59.000
and I have to tell you that I'm very proud of our team.

591
00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:02.600
And I've been in most of the sessions.

592
00:35:02.600 --> 00:35:07.600
You know, part of our call as leaders and fathers and mothers

593
00:35:13.660 --> 00:35:15.360
is that we would have a legacy.

594
00:35:16.220 --> 00:35:18.840
And that means, you know, you begin to measure your success

595
00:35:18.840 --> 00:35:21.660
not by what you do, but by who you empower

596
00:35:21.660 --> 00:35:23.800
to do it better than you.

597
00:35:23.800 --> 00:35:26.100
And you know, it's always fun as a theory.

598
00:35:26.940 --> 00:35:31.940
It's not so easy as actualizing it in your life, you know,

599
00:35:32.340 --> 00:35:35.860
because, well, there's probably obvious reasons,

600
00:35:35.860 --> 00:35:40.860
but I personally am in this season where I feel like

601
00:35:41.820 --> 00:35:44.140
the Lord is moving me, many of us,

602
00:35:44.140 --> 00:35:46.020
to more like the patriarchal role

603
00:35:46.020 --> 00:35:49.300
where now it's time for us to actually,

604
00:35:49.300 --> 00:35:51.920
I'm not ready to retire or anything like that.

605
00:35:51.920 --> 00:35:54.580
I wanna be clear, like, I'm not.

606
00:35:55.500 --> 00:35:58.000
But I feel like we're in this role

607
00:35:58.000 --> 00:36:01.680
where we're making sure that there is a legacy.

608
00:36:02.540 --> 00:36:05.160
And so this has been, last year,

609
00:36:05.160 --> 00:36:08.040
we sort of started with this mindset.

610
00:36:08.040 --> 00:36:09.700
I say sort of, that's not true.

611
00:36:09.700 --> 00:36:11.840
We proactively, I'm talking about Dan and I,

612
00:36:11.840 --> 00:36:15.160
we proactively started with this mindset last year,

613
00:36:15.160 --> 00:36:17.180
more specifically, because we always have a team,

614
00:36:17.180 --> 00:36:18.440
we always have other people minister,

615
00:36:18.440 --> 00:36:21.700
but like proactively, like we need to give our teams

616
00:36:21.720 --> 00:36:26.080
more room to grow and take more responsibility

617
00:36:26.080 --> 00:36:28.840
and authority, and so in this year, we did even more.

618
00:36:28.840 --> 00:36:31.800
And it's actually, I thought it'd be really hard,

619
00:36:31.800 --> 00:36:36.120
but it's actually been really fun to sit in the front row

620
00:36:36.120 --> 00:36:38.640
and watch our sons and daughters

621
00:36:38.640 --> 00:36:41.440
who have now become mothers and fathers themselves,

622
00:36:41.440 --> 00:36:45.480
like share and teach and then express things

623
00:36:45.480 --> 00:36:49.000
that's been in them that they didn't get from us, too.

624
00:36:49.000 --> 00:36:49.880
And that's been exciting.

625
00:36:49.880 --> 00:36:52.500
So I am, I mean this sincerely,

626
00:36:52.500 --> 00:36:56.220
I'm very proud of our teams and the job they've done

627
00:36:56.220 --> 00:36:58.080
and hope that you have, too.

628
00:36:58.080 --> 00:37:03.080
So I'm gonna pray for just a minute.

629
00:37:04.080 --> 00:37:07.460
Holy Spirit, thank you for all of these people.

630
00:37:07.460 --> 00:37:10.740
We have people we have from all over the world online.

631
00:37:10.740 --> 00:37:13.460
It's kind of hard for you to connect

632
00:37:13.460 --> 00:37:14.460
with these folks that you have,

633
00:37:14.460 --> 00:37:17.820
but you've got another 300 people online

634
00:37:17.820 --> 00:37:20.120
that are actually learning at the same time you are,

635
00:37:20.120 --> 00:37:22.680
but they're just not in the same space you're in.

636
00:37:22.680 --> 00:37:25.520
And then we have 1,200 Brazilians

637
00:37:25.520 --> 00:37:28.480
actually learning at the same time you are, too.

638
00:37:28.480 --> 00:37:30.040
And it's just pretty exciting.

639
00:37:30.040 --> 00:37:33.360
So I don't know, we have 600 in this room, 650 or something,

640
00:37:33.360 --> 00:37:38.320
and then another, you know, I don't know, 1,800 people,

641
00:37:38.320 --> 00:37:40.720
1,700 people, something like that, you know,

642
00:37:40.720 --> 00:37:43.980
that are with you and are on the same journey with you,

643
00:37:43.980 --> 00:37:45.620
but just not in the same room.

644
00:37:45.620 --> 00:37:47.680
So really exciting.

645
00:37:47.680 --> 00:37:50.240
Again, Lord, we just thank you for all these folks.

646
00:37:50.240 --> 00:37:54.800
And Lord, we really do want to see the kingdoms

647
00:37:54.800 --> 00:37:57.600
of this world become the kingdom of our God.

648
00:37:57.600 --> 00:37:58.880
We just, we pray for that,

649
00:37:58.880 --> 00:38:02.800
that we would have that kind of impact

650
00:38:02.800 --> 00:38:04.560
on the lives of people,

651
00:38:04.560 --> 00:38:06.080
and they would have that kind of impact

652
00:38:06.080 --> 00:38:07.000
on the lives of people,

653
00:38:07.000 --> 00:38:08.440
and they would have that kind of impact,

654
00:38:08.440 --> 00:38:11.840
and that it would be that kind of a, if you will,

655
00:38:11.840 --> 00:38:15.560
kind of a pyramid of influence, in Jesus' name.

656
00:38:16.380 --> 00:38:17.220
Amen.

657
00:38:17.220 --> 00:38:20.380
So last night, my, I probably didn't know

658
00:38:20.380 --> 00:38:23.020
where I was going last night, because I didn't,

659
00:38:23.020 --> 00:38:28.020
but the goal of last night, I actually felt that we met,

660
00:38:28.100 --> 00:38:30.060
even though we were way off the notes,

661
00:38:30.060 --> 00:38:33.380
and that was this, that you realize

662
00:38:33.380 --> 00:38:35.820
that you're part of an apostolic movement,

663
00:38:35.820 --> 00:38:38.220
that we're moving out of denominationalism,

664
00:38:38.220 --> 00:38:40.140
we're moving into apostleships,

665
00:38:40.140 --> 00:38:42.780
and that the core root of apostleships

666
00:38:42.780 --> 00:38:45.140
is one, based in family and covenant,

667
00:38:45.140 --> 00:38:47.840
and two, based in the idea

668
00:38:47.840 --> 00:38:51.400
that we would actually be discipling nations.

669
00:38:51.400 --> 00:38:55.140
Those two things are in the root of the word apostle,

670
00:38:55.140 --> 00:38:59.160
and also in the root of the legacy of the apostle,

671
00:38:59.160 --> 00:39:01.600
the apostles that Jesus released.

672
00:39:01.600 --> 00:39:04.280
So I think that although we were, you know,

673
00:39:04.280 --> 00:39:06.460
kind of took a big, long journey,

674
00:39:06.460 --> 00:39:10.360
that the point was still well made,

675
00:39:10.360 --> 00:39:14.380
that you, when you're coming, when you get saved,

676
00:39:14.380 --> 00:39:17.100
that you're getting saved into a kingdom,

677
00:39:17.100 --> 00:39:20.020
and that kingdom is an ever-expanding kingdom,

678
00:39:20.020 --> 00:39:24.180
and that you're part of something much bigger than yourself.

679
00:39:24.180 --> 00:39:26.980
And I'm gonna close that little part,

680
00:39:26.980 --> 00:39:28.700
because today, this session,

681
00:39:28.700 --> 00:39:31.920
I wanna talk about the war of the worlds,

682
00:39:31.920 --> 00:39:34.700
and I wanna talk a little bit about the warfare

683
00:39:34.700 --> 00:39:39.700
that there is over who actually gets to shape history.

684
00:39:40.420 --> 00:39:44.340
But in Isaiah 61, which is the verse the Lord gave me,

685
00:39:44.340 --> 00:39:47.180
the verses the Lord gave me the year I was saved,

686
00:39:47.180 --> 00:39:48.400
I didn't know what they meant,

687
00:39:48.400 --> 00:39:52.380
but I kept getting them as prophecies in the Jesus movement,

688
00:39:52.380 --> 00:39:55.700
and later on, I realized that, hey, this is my core message.

689
00:39:55.700 --> 00:40:00.140
My core message is actually based in four verses in Isaiah.

690
00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:04.000
And it begins with, and I know that you'll know it as soon as I start to quote it,

691
00:40:04.000 --> 00:40:05.000
Isaiah 61,

692
00:40:05.000 --> 00:40:09.000
The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, for the Lord has anointed me,

693
00:40:09.000 --> 00:40:13.000
to preach the good news to the afflicted, to bind up the brokenhearted,

694
00:40:13.000 --> 00:40:16.000
to speak release to captives and freedom to prisoners,

695
00:40:16.000 --> 00:40:20.000
the favorable year of the Lord, the day of vengeance of our God,

696
00:40:20.000 --> 00:40:24.000
to grant all those who mourn in Zion, give them a garland instead of ashes,

697
00:40:24.000 --> 00:40:26.000
a mantle of praise instead of a spirit of heaviness,

698
00:40:26.000 --> 00:40:28.000
that they might be called oaks of righteousness,

699
00:40:28.000 --> 00:40:31.000
to plant the Lord that he may be glorified.

700
00:40:31.000 --> 00:40:32.000
Those are the first three verses.

701
00:40:32.000 --> 00:40:35.000
So he talks about in those verses,

702
00:40:35.000 --> 00:40:39.000
he talks about the fact that the Spirit of the Lord God is at first upon Jesus.

703
00:40:39.000 --> 00:40:41.000
By the way, this is called the Messiah's mandate.

704
00:40:41.000 --> 00:40:43.000
If you didn't know that it's repeated in Luke.

705
00:40:43.000 --> 00:40:48.000
This is what Jesus quoted when he sat at the temple in the chair that hadn't been

706
00:40:48.000 --> 00:40:50.000
sat in in 500 years.

707
00:40:50.000 --> 00:40:54.000
He sits in the synagogue and the chair that hadn't been sat in,

708
00:40:54.000 --> 00:40:56.000
they reserved it for the Messiah.

709
00:40:56.000 --> 00:40:59.000
He sits in the Messiah's chair and he quotes the Messiah's mandate,

710
00:40:59.000 --> 00:41:01.000
which was Isaiah 61.

711
00:41:01.000 --> 00:41:04.000
And it says, every eye was on him.

712
00:41:04.000 --> 00:41:05.000
I don't know if you know this.

713
00:41:05.000 --> 00:41:08.000
So this is a little bit interesting history if you didn't know this,

714
00:41:08.000 --> 00:41:11.000
but that chair was reserved for the Messiah.

715
00:41:11.000 --> 00:41:15.000
So when Jesus goes over to the seat and sits in it and it says,

716
00:41:15.000 --> 00:41:18.000
every eye was on him, it was like,

717
00:41:18.000 --> 00:41:20.000
it was like almost a call for security.

718
00:41:20.000 --> 00:41:22.000
Like, okay, what's he doing?

719
00:41:22.000 --> 00:41:24.000
He's not supposed to be sitting in that chair.

720
00:41:24.000 --> 00:41:26.000
That's reserved for the Messiah.

721
00:41:26.000 --> 00:41:30.000
And then he calls for the scroll of Isaiah and he begins to quote the

722
00:41:30.000 --> 00:41:32.000
Messiah's mandate.

723
00:41:32.000 --> 00:41:37.000
And for the first time he's actually exposing the spirit of the Lord God is

724
00:41:37.000 --> 00:41:39.000
upon me.

725
00:41:39.000 --> 00:41:40.000
That's me.

726
00:41:40.000 --> 00:41:42.000
I'm the Messiah.

727
00:41:42.000 --> 00:41:47.000
And then it has that whole connotation of,

728
00:41:47.000 --> 00:41:51.000
and the graceful words were falling on them.

729
00:41:51.000 --> 00:41:54.000
They ask questions like, where did you get this authority that comes from?

730
00:41:54.000 --> 00:41:58.000
They put a seat out there that the Messiah would come.

731
00:41:58.000 --> 00:41:59.000
They believe this was their eschatology.

732
00:41:59.000 --> 00:42:03.000
The Messiah will come, he'll come into the temple.

733
00:42:03.000 --> 00:42:08.000
They also had him in the synagogues as kind of a replica and he'll sit in his

734
00:42:08.000 --> 00:42:11.000
chair and he'll read the Messiah's mandate.

735
00:42:11.000 --> 00:42:14.000
So that was the Messiah's mandate that he read.

736
00:42:14.000 --> 00:42:16.000
It finishes with this thought.

737
00:42:16.000 --> 00:42:19.000
So you have, you know, the spirit of the Lord's on me.

738
00:42:19.000 --> 00:42:22.000
He's going to heal the broken, the captive, the prisoner.

739
00:42:22.000 --> 00:42:26.000
Take the people who are, that are depressed, you know,

740
00:42:26.000 --> 00:42:28.000
I'm going to give them joy for mourning.

741
00:42:28.000 --> 00:42:32.000
Mantle praise for the person who has the spirit of heaviness or fainting.

742
00:42:32.000 --> 00:42:33.000
And he goes through,

743
00:42:33.000 --> 00:42:36.000
I'm basically going to heal and restore all these broken people.

744
00:42:36.000 --> 00:42:39.000
Then the fourth verse says, and then they shall return.

745
00:42:39.000 --> 00:42:42.000
This is the verse I'm in now.

746
00:42:42.000 --> 00:42:46.000
Then they shall return and they shall restore ruined cities.

747
00:42:46.000 --> 00:42:47.000
Ruined cities.

748
00:42:47.000 --> 00:42:51.000
They shall raise up the former foundations and rebuild ruined cities.

749
00:42:51.000 --> 00:42:53.000
Who is they in the story?

750
00:42:53.000 --> 00:42:57.000
The broken, the depressed, you get the idea.

751
00:42:57.000 --> 00:43:03.000
And what I'm getting at is that right there in the Messiah's mandate is once

752
00:43:03.000 --> 00:43:07.000
you get healed yourself, the goal is to go back and heal your city.

753
00:43:07.000 --> 00:43:10.000
So I want to tell you this story.

754
00:43:10.000 --> 00:43:13.000
So, you know, I told you I had a nervous breakdown,

755
00:43:13.000 --> 00:43:16.000
moved to this little town called Lewiston first.

756
00:43:16.000 --> 00:43:19.000
You probably wouldn't know where any of the cities are,

757
00:43:19.000 --> 00:43:22.000
but Lewiston is just 15 miles from Weaverville.

758
00:43:22.000 --> 00:43:25.000
It's a town of 900 people.

759
00:43:25.000 --> 00:43:27.000
So when Kathy and I first moved out of the Bay Area,

760
00:43:27.000 --> 00:43:34.000
we bought this little destroyed farmhouse and we remodeled it in this little town

761
00:43:34.000 --> 00:43:35.000
of Lewiston.

762
00:43:35.000 --> 00:43:38.000
I was, I never, when I say I had a nervous breakdown,

763
00:43:38.000 --> 00:43:41.000
I never missed work one day, but I was very demonized.

764
00:43:41.000 --> 00:43:43.000
And when I was in the little town of Lewiston,

765
00:43:43.000 --> 00:43:47.000
we only lived there about a year and a half because we were driving into

766
00:43:47.000 --> 00:43:48.000
Weaverville every day.

767
00:43:48.000 --> 00:43:50.000
And it was a very treacherous road because, you know,

768
00:43:50.000 --> 00:43:51.000
we lived in the mountains.

769
00:43:51.000 --> 00:43:54.000
So you got rain, you got snow, it's slippery, it's freezing.

770
00:43:54.000 --> 00:43:58.000
And so even though it was only, you know, 15 or 20 mile drive,

771
00:43:58.000 --> 00:44:00.000
it was treacherous.

772
00:44:00.000 --> 00:44:03.000
So we soon moved into Weaverville because our kids went to school there.

773
00:44:03.000 --> 00:44:05.000
We went to church there.

774
00:44:05.000 --> 00:44:10.000
But when I was in Lewiston, in the middle of my nervous breakdown

775
00:44:10.000 --> 00:44:14.000
and having all these demonic experiences, the Lord said to me,

776
00:44:14.000 --> 00:44:16.000
I'm going to give you this city.

777
00:44:16.000 --> 00:44:20.000
I think it's pretty interesting that I'm in the middle of a nervous breakdown.

778
00:44:20.000 --> 00:44:21.000
The Lord said, I'm going to give you this city.

779
00:44:21.000 --> 00:44:23.000
It's only 900 people, right?

780
00:44:23.000 --> 00:44:30.000
So anyway, we moved to Weaverville and I ended up being the volunteer youth

781
00:44:30.000 --> 00:44:32.000
pastor of Mountain Chapel.

782
00:44:32.000 --> 00:44:35.000
This is the year before Bill got there, they appointed me.

783
00:44:35.000 --> 00:44:38.000
And I was nine years, Kathy and I were nine years.

784
00:44:38.000 --> 00:44:41.000
Kathy was a children's pastor and I was the youth pastor

785
00:44:41.000 --> 00:44:43.000
of our volunteer youth pastor.

786
00:44:43.000 --> 00:44:46.000
We still had, we had ended up with four businesses

787
00:44:46.000 --> 00:44:48.000
and we were youth pastors.

788
00:44:48.000 --> 00:44:53.000
Anyway, when we got a, we got a official full-time youth pastor

789
00:44:53.000 --> 00:44:58.000
in the ninth year or so, I got a break from that.

790
00:44:58.000 --> 00:45:00.000
And I just began to pray for a new assignment.

791
00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:03.280
I was like, okay, Lord, what do you want me to do?

792
00:45:03.280 --> 00:45:05.400
And I felt, I heard the Lord say,

793
00:45:05.400 --> 00:45:07.560
I want you to go to Lewiston.

794
00:45:07.560 --> 00:45:10.560
Remember, I hadn't been there for 10 years.

795
00:45:10.560 --> 00:45:11.760
I want you to go to Lewiston,

796
00:45:11.760 --> 00:45:14.920
and I want you to walk the streets of Lewiston.

797
00:45:14.920 --> 00:45:16.680
And honestly, that was it.

798
00:45:16.680 --> 00:45:20.240
And I thought that, so what I thought was,

799
00:45:20.240 --> 00:45:21.720
I was going to do this obedient thing,

800
00:45:21.720 --> 00:45:23.400
kind of like fasting.

801
00:45:23.400 --> 00:45:25.600
It's like, okay, I don't know why I'm doing this,

802
00:45:25.600 --> 00:45:26.520
but I'm going to do it.

803
00:45:26.680 --> 00:45:29.040
And I thought he meant like,

804
00:45:29.040 --> 00:45:31.360
definitely no longer than a couple of weeks.

805
00:45:31.360 --> 00:45:33.400
I didn't think this was a big commitment.

806
00:45:33.400 --> 00:45:36.160
And he gave me instructions, and he said to me,

807
00:45:36.160 --> 00:45:37.840
I want you to go Sunday nights,

808
00:45:37.840 --> 00:45:39.640
and I don't want you to talk to anybody.

809
00:45:39.640 --> 00:45:41.760
I want you to walk and pray.

810
00:45:41.760 --> 00:45:43.440
I'm going to teach you how to pray.

811
00:45:43.440 --> 00:45:45.000
I'm like, okay, great.

812
00:45:45.000 --> 00:45:46.320
So I went to Lewiston.

813
00:45:46.320 --> 00:45:47.600
I went at nine o'clock at night,

814
00:45:47.600 --> 00:45:49.760
because that's about time the sun went down.

815
00:45:49.760 --> 00:45:52.560
And obviously, I know you've never been there.

816
00:45:52.560 --> 00:45:56.000
So out of the 900 people who populate Lewiston,

817
00:45:56.440 --> 00:45:58.240
750 live in the subdivision,

818
00:45:58.240 --> 00:46:00.960
which you can actually walk in exactly one hour.

819
00:46:00.960 --> 00:46:03.400
You can walk every street in one hour.

820
00:46:03.400 --> 00:46:06.040
So I would go at dusk,

821
00:46:06.040 --> 00:46:10.040
and I started at dusk in the summer,

822
00:46:10.040 --> 00:46:13.320
and I just started walking the streets of Lewiston.

823
00:46:13.320 --> 00:46:15.000
And I just took every street,

824
00:46:15.000 --> 00:46:17.200
and I didn't know what to do.

825
00:46:17.200 --> 00:46:18.960
I knew I wasn't supposed to talk to anybody,

826
00:46:18.960 --> 00:46:21.320
and I knew I wasn't supposed to make a scene.

827
00:46:21.320 --> 00:46:23.720
So I just walked the streets back and forth,

828
00:46:23.720 --> 00:46:27.480
every street, which again was no big deal, one hour.

829
00:46:27.480 --> 00:46:29.640
And then I got in my car and went home.

830
00:46:29.640 --> 00:46:31.480
And then the next Sunday, I was kind of like,

831
00:46:31.480 --> 00:46:32.840
you know, on call, okay?

832
00:46:32.840 --> 00:46:34.720
Oh, I felt like I was supposed to do it again.

833
00:46:34.720 --> 00:46:36.840
So I did it the next Sunday,

834
00:46:36.840 --> 00:46:39.400
and the next Sunday, and the next Sunday.

835
00:46:39.400 --> 00:46:42.000
And finally, I'm like three months into this,

836
00:46:42.000 --> 00:46:46.240
and I'm like, Lord, how long am I going to do this?

837
00:46:46.240 --> 00:46:49.400
And he said, you just do it till I tell you to stop.

838
00:46:50.280 --> 00:46:52.600
All right, I'd like to have an end date.

839
00:46:52.600 --> 00:46:55.360
Anybody else like to know where we're going, you know?

840
00:46:56.720 --> 00:46:58.880
And I want to tell you that at first,

841
00:46:58.880 --> 00:46:59.920
it was kind of exciting,

842
00:46:59.920 --> 00:47:01.080
because the Lord tells you to do something,

843
00:47:01.080 --> 00:47:03.360
you're like, oh, something amazing is going to happen.

844
00:47:03.360 --> 00:47:04.400
You have that?

845
00:47:04.400 --> 00:47:05.480
But nothing did.

846
00:47:06.480 --> 00:47:08.920
So after about three months, it wasn't exciting.

847
00:47:08.920 --> 00:47:12.040
It was like, you know, I wasn't allowed to talk to anybody,

848
00:47:12.040 --> 00:47:13.880
and I was doing it at night,

849
00:47:13.880 --> 00:47:15.680
and my family's like, where are you going?

850
00:47:15.680 --> 00:47:18.120
So I mean, it was like, it was really like not,

851
00:47:18.120 --> 00:47:20.520
it wasn't like, I'm having this great ministry,

852
00:47:20.520 --> 00:47:22.360
and I have this anticipation.

853
00:47:22.360 --> 00:47:24.440
I'd had that for about two months,

854
00:47:24.440 --> 00:47:25.880
and then nothing happened.

855
00:47:25.880 --> 00:47:27.600
I had no encounters.

856
00:47:27.600 --> 00:47:29.440
I wasn't feeling anything.

857
00:47:29.440 --> 00:47:31.440
And so I'm like, oh, now I'm like,

858
00:47:31.440 --> 00:47:34.480
hey, how long did you say this was going to be?

859
00:47:34.480 --> 00:47:37.120
And so I'm walking, and I'm praying.

860
00:47:37.120 --> 00:47:38.120
I'm walking and praying.

861
00:47:38.120 --> 00:47:40.040
And honestly, I have to say

862
00:47:40.040 --> 00:47:42.120
that I went completely out of obedience.

863
00:47:42.120 --> 00:47:44.600
Like, I'm in obedience and sacrifice mode.

864
00:47:44.600 --> 00:47:47.440
I'm not in learn and discern mode, right?

865
00:47:47.440 --> 00:47:49.360
But by the time I get through three months, I'm like,

866
00:47:49.360 --> 00:47:52.040
okay, we could be doing this a while.

867
00:47:52.040 --> 00:47:54.600
Ben, could you put this in my bag for me?

868
00:47:54.600 --> 00:47:55.680
We could be doing this a while,

869
00:47:55.680 --> 00:47:59.320
so maybe you should shift my mode, right?

870
00:47:59.320 --> 00:48:01.080
I know you do this too.

871
00:48:01.080 --> 00:48:04.240
Maybe you should shift, let's shift modes.

872
00:48:04.240 --> 00:48:07.640
So I start really praying, and I'm like, all right.

873
00:48:07.640 --> 00:48:10.440
And as I start praying, the Lord,

874
00:48:10.440 --> 00:48:12.520
as I really start like connecting, like,

875
00:48:12.520 --> 00:48:14.760
okay, let's not just do this out of rote.

876
00:48:14.760 --> 00:48:17.160
There's probably something supposed to be happening here.

877
00:48:17.200 --> 00:48:20.360
And as I start praying that way,

878
00:48:20.360 --> 00:48:23.560
the Lord starts giving me information about Lewiston.

879
00:48:23.560 --> 00:48:25.320
By the way, Lewiston is the worst city

880
00:48:25.320 --> 00:48:27.040
in Trinity County at the time.

881
00:48:27.040 --> 00:48:30.000
It's where most of the drug activity was,

882
00:48:30.000 --> 00:48:31.560
and it's where the police,

883
00:48:31.560 --> 00:48:33.920
the sheriff's department was out there all the time.

884
00:48:33.920 --> 00:48:37.720
The worst, they called the armpit of Trinity County.

885
00:48:37.720 --> 00:48:41.080
And so I start walking by each house

886
00:48:41.080 --> 00:48:43.000
and just stopping in the house,

887
00:48:43.000 --> 00:48:43.840
and the Lord would say,

888
00:48:43.840 --> 00:48:46.240
there's a prostitute that lives in this house.

889
00:48:46.240 --> 00:48:47.920
And he would tell me things about her.

890
00:48:47.920 --> 00:48:50.920
So I'd pray specifically about her.

891
00:48:50.920 --> 00:48:53.400
And then I'd maybe walk another block,

892
00:48:53.400 --> 00:48:54.240
and the Lord would be like,

893
00:48:54.240 --> 00:48:56.560
this is a drug pusher house right here.

894
00:48:56.560 --> 00:49:00.120
And then this person, and he'd tell me specific things.

895
00:49:00.120 --> 00:49:03.520
And then after about, so I'm still walking,

896
00:49:03.520 --> 00:49:07.000
and now we're in six months, seventh month, eighth month.

897
00:49:07.000 --> 00:49:10.720
And now I can close my eyes and walk down the street,

898
00:49:10.720 --> 00:49:14.160
and I can tell what house I've been in front of

899
00:49:14.160 --> 00:49:16.720
by the spirit I feel in front of it.

900
00:49:16.720 --> 00:49:18.560
And I actually am making connections,

901
00:49:18.560 --> 00:49:20.480
like I know this woman's a prostitute.

902
00:49:20.480 --> 00:49:22.440
Now, not in a judgmental way,

903
00:49:22.440 --> 00:49:24.320
but I'm like, Lord, heal her heart.

904
00:49:24.320 --> 00:49:26.160
Lord, break the spirit off of her.

905
00:49:26.160 --> 00:49:28.960
And now I'm like, I'm knowing these houses

906
00:49:28.960 --> 00:49:31.240
after the spirit, right?

907
00:49:31.240 --> 00:49:34.720
So this goes on all through, and now it's wintertime.

908
00:49:34.720 --> 00:49:37.600
So we've walked nearly a year,

909
00:49:37.600 --> 00:49:40.040
but we're like the 12th month.

910
00:49:40.040 --> 00:49:41.280
So we must've started in the winter,

911
00:49:41.280 --> 00:49:42.520
because this is winter again,

912
00:49:42.520 --> 00:49:44.160
and we walk for 12 months.

913
00:49:44.160 --> 00:49:45.520
I walk for 12 months by myself.

914
00:49:45.520 --> 00:49:47.360
Every once in a while, someone would join me.

915
00:49:47.360 --> 00:49:49.400
They're like, I heard you're going walking and praying.

916
00:49:49.400 --> 00:49:50.880
And I'm like trying to tell them,

917
00:49:50.880 --> 00:49:52.840
like, yeah, it's not exciting.

918
00:49:53.840 --> 00:49:56.160
But they would come, and they'd walk,

919
00:49:56.160 --> 00:49:57.920
and I'd have a couple people walk with me.

920
00:49:57.920 --> 00:50:00.520
And then the next week, they're like, oh, I'm busy.

921
00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:01.880
I'm like, yeah, I know, I'd be busy too.

922
00:50:01.880 --> 00:50:04.640
If I could be, I'd be busy right now.

923
00:50:06.080 --> 00:50:09.760
So, but it started to be like, I started to get the idea,

924
00:50:09.760 --> 00:50:14.080
well, oh, we're actually walking and we are discerning

925
00:50:14.080 --> 00:50:16.320
and we are praying and we are learning something here.

926
00:50:16.320 --> 00:50:18.000
I didn't know what we were learning,

927
00:50:18.000 --> 00:50:22.560
to be completely frank, until way past, it was over.

928
00:50:22.560 --> 00:50:27.560
But, so, you know, we did wintertime and summer and spring

929
00:50:28.400 --> 00:50:30.640
and then now we're back to winter.

930
00:50:30.640 --> 00:50:33.800
And it's cold, it's rainy,

931
00:50:33.800 --> 00:50:36.480
and it's way up in the mountains.

932
00:50:36.480 --> 00:50:39.560
And when there's no moon, there's no streetlights.

933
00:50:39.560 --> 00:50:42.040
So when there's no moon, you know,

934
00:50:42.040 --> 00:50:44.680
you've been places where it's so dark,

935
00:50:44.680 --> 00:50:46.720
you can't see in front of your face when there's no moon,

936
00:50:46.720 --> 00:50:47.920
it's that, right?

937
00:50:47.920 --> 00:50:50.400
So this particular Sunday night,

938
00:50:50.400 --> 00:50:53.360
a whole bunch of people from our church say,

939
00:50:53.360 --> 00:50:56.640
hey, we heard you're praying at Lewiston.

940
00:50:56.640 --> 00:50:57.720
I'm like, yeah, yeah.

941
00:50:57.720 --> 00:50:59.120
And I'm always trying to like,

942
00:50:59.120 --> 00:51:00.720
create really low expectations,

943
00:51:00.720 --> 00:51:01.560
because I know they think,

944
00:51:01.560 --> 00:51:02.840
well, he's been praying for a year,

945
00:51:02.840 --> 00:51:04.320
it's probably amazing.

946
00:51:04.320 --> 00:51:06.480
And I'm like, it isn't.

947
00:51:06.480 --> 00:51:08.080
So, you know, so they're like,

948
00:51:08.080 --> 00:51:09.160
hey, we want to come with you.

949
00:51:09.160 --> 00:51:11.240
And it's like, 20 people want to come with me.

950
00:51:11.240 --> 00:51:13.880
Like the most I've ever had is like three.

951
00:51:13.880 --> 00:51:15.720
And I'm like, no, oh yeah, well, no, no,

952
00:51:15.720 --> 00:51:17.760
you know what, I'm not having a prayer meeting.

953
00:51:17.760 --> 00:51:19.120
I'm just walking and praying.

954
00:51:19.120 --> 00:51:20.280
Like, it's not a prayer meeting.

955
00:51:20.280 --> 00:51:22.000
They're like, oh yeah, I know, well, Lord told us.

956
00:51:22.000 --> 00:51:25.000
And like, literally like 15 of them say,

957
00:51:25.000 --> 00:51:27.120
we want to come tonight and pray with you.

958
00:51:28.240 --> 00:51:29.240
Okay.

959
00:51:29.240 --> 00:51:31.000
I'm like, you know, gosh,

960
00:51:31.000 --> 00:51:33.720
I don't want the pressure of having them with me

961
00:51:33.720 --> 00:51:35.000
and having to entertain them.

962
00:51:35.000 --> 00:51:36.920
So I'm trying to talk them out of it.

963
00:51:36.920 --> 00:51:38.240
And they're like, no, no, we're coming.

964
00:51:38.240 --> 00:51:39.240
Okay.

965
00:51:39.240 --> 00:51:41.160
So we get to this,

966
00:51:41.160 --> 00:51:44.280
Lewiston had this old gym that,

967
00:51:44.280 --> 00:51:47.680
by the way, that whole subdivision was built

968
00:51:47.680 --> 00:51:49.160
when they built the dam.

969
00:51:49.160 --> 00:51:51.520
So it was the housing for the dam workers.

970
00:51:51.520 --> 00:51:55.680
And they built a big old, huge metal,

971
00:51:55.680 --> 00:51:59.240
probably this, maybe the size of the sanctuary gym,

972
00:51:59.240 --> 00:52:02.440
just an old gym that just had basketball courts in it

973
00:52:02.440 --> 00:52:04.560
and stuff, and they hadn't used it for years.

974
00:52:04.560 --> 00:52:06.600
And there was a great big field in front of it

975
00:52:06.600 --> 00:52:08.080
that was just overgrown with weeds

976
00:52:08.080 --> 00:52:09.360
that were about this high.

977
00:52:09.360 --> 00:52:10.680
That was probably, you know,

978
00:52:10.680 --> 00:52:13.320
the size of that front parking lot out there.

979
00:52:13.320 --> 00:52:14.160
So, okay.

980
00:52:14.160 --> 00:52:16.840
So I said, let's just meet at the gym at nine o'clock.

981
00:52:16.840 --> 00:52:20.320
So they meet at the gym, nine o'clock, it's pitch dark.

982
00:52:20.320 --> 00:52:22.720
So I say, tell them, I break them up into teams

983
00:52:22.720 --> 00:52:24.880
and I say, okay, you go, it's actually first street,

984
00:52:24.880 --> 00:52:26.940
second street, they're just numbered like that.

985
00:52:26.940 --> 00:52:28.920
So you guys go to first street, walk street,

986
00:52:28.920 --> 00:52:30.680
second street, third street, fourth street,

987
00:52:30.680 --> 00:52:32.200
and then I'll meet you back here

988
00:52:32.200 --> 00:52:34.700
and you'll do that in 30 minutes.

989
00:52:34.700 --> 00:52:36.280
Okay, so meet back at the gym.

990
00:52:36.280 --> 00:52:37.560
So they go do that.

991
00:52:37.560 --> 00:52:38.800
It's pitch dark again.

992
00:52:38.800 --> 00:52:42.160
It's not raining, but it's cold.

993
00:52:42.160 --> 00:52:43.360
You can't see anything.

994
00:52:43.360 --> 00:52:44.840
It's creepy, right?

995
00:52:44.840 --> 00:52:46.960
It's kind of creepy.

996
00:52:46.960 --> 00:52:48.120
So we get all done.

997
00:52:48.120 --> 00:52:51.800
We end up at the gym and I'm like, all right,

998
00:52:51.800 --> 00:52:54.280
why don't we just make a big circle before we leave?

999
00:52:54.280 --> 00:52:56.000
We've only been there like 40 minutes.

1000
00:52:56.000 --> 00:52:58.160
Let's make a big circle and pray

1001
00:52:58.160 --> 00:52:59.900
and then we'll go home, all right?

1002
00:52:59.900 --> 00:53:04.080
So we grab hands and we start to pray

1003
00:53:04.080 --> 00:53:06.980
and Lewiston has got mountains all the way around it

1004
00:53:06.980 --> 00:53:07.820
and it's in a valley.

1005
00:53:07.820 --> 00:53:10.520
So at nighttime, if you go, hello, it goes,

1006
00:53:10.520 --> 00:53:11.520
hello, hello, hello, hello.

1007
00:53:11.520 --> 00:53:13.260
So it echoes like that, right?

1008
00:53:13.260 --> 00:53:15.580
So I'm trying to get you to feel what we're feeling.

1009
00:53:15.980 --> 00:53:19.580
It's dark, it's cold, it's echoey.

1010
00:53:19.580 --> 00:53:21.980
So we grab hands and we start to pray

1011
00:53:21.980 --> 00:53:25.980
and the minute we pray, all of a sudden,

1012
00:53:25.980 --> 00:53:28.180
from the field in front of us,

1013
00:53:28.180 --> 00:53:30.500
which is about three times the size of this sanctuary,

1014
00:53:30.500 --> 00:53:33.560
probably, all of a sudden it goes,

1015
00:53:33.560 --> 00:53:34.400
ah!

1016
00:53:37.340 --> 00:53:40.180
But about 50 times louder than that.

1017
00:53:40.180 --> 00:53:43.460
It sounds like someone's being murdered in the field

1018
00:53:43.500 --> 00:53:44.340
and it echoes.

1019
00:53:44.340 --> 00:53:47.900
So it's really creepy and it's really dark.

1020
00:53:47.900 --> 00:53:49.220
So everybody stops, right?

1021
00:53:49.220 --> 00:53:51.580
And it's like your hair's standing up on your.

1022
00:53:53.180 --> 00:53:56.900
And about 10 of the 15 people that came go,

1023
00:53:56.900 --> 00:53:57.740
I'm leaving.

1024
00:53:57.740 --> 00:54:00.940
I said, no, you're freaking staying here, we're praying.

1025
00:54:03.060 --> 00:54:06.700
And I'm thinking, everything in me goes, I'm going too.

1026
00:54:08.580 --> 00:54:10.580
But I'm putting two to two together

1027
00:54:10.580 --> 00:54:12.660
that we're all together, first time,

1028
00:54:12.780 --> 00:54:14.060
I've never had this many people.

1029
00:54:14.060 --> 00:54:15.580
And I don't know what that voice is,

1030
00:54:15.580 --> 00:54:17.900
but we stop praying.

1031
00:54:17.900 --> 00:54:19.820
Of course, everybody stopped praying

1032
00:54:19.820 --> 00:54:21.820
and this voice immediately stops.

1033
00:54:22.980 --> 00:54:24.140
All right, grab hands again.

1034
00:54:24.140 --> 00:54:25.220
And we're talking through,

1035
00:54:25.220 --> 00:54:27.500
I'm gonna go, no, no, no, you guys are staying here.

1036
00:54:27.500 --> 00:54:28.860
You wanted to pray with me.

1037
00:54:29.780 --> 00:54:31.740
And we grab hands and we start praying again

1038
00:54:31.740 --> 00:54:34.340
and immediately the voice starts, ah!

1039
00:54:36.280 --> 00:54:38.520
Like way louder than that.

1040
00:54:38.520 --> 00:54:41.140
You can hear it echoing through the valley, right?

1041
00:54:41.140 --> 00:54:43.820
And then we stop praying and immediately it stops.

1042
00:54:45.340 --> 00:54:47.580
And we start praying again and it's, ah!

1043
00:54:47.580 --> 00:54:50.260
And it gets louder and louder and louder.

1044
00:54:51.140 --> 00:54:54.380
And it's like, you can feel the voice.

1045
00:54:54.380 --> 00:54:57.020
So, you know, everybody's like,

1046
00:54:57.020 --> 00:54:59.580
this is really creepy, you know?

1047
00:54:59.580 --> 00:55:00.400
So.

1048
00:55:00.000 --> 00:55:03.280
After about probably six or seven minutes

1049
00:55:03.280 --> 00:55:05.100
of us starting and stopping,

1050
00:55:05.100 --> 00:55:07.600
it's really obvious like this is not a human voice.

1051
00:55:07.600 --> 00:55:09.460
There's nobody dying in the field.

1052
00:55:09.460 --> 00:55:11.080
This is some kind of spirit,

1053
00:55:11.080 --> 00:55:13.520
which none of us had ever had experience with.

1054
00:55:13.520 --> 00:55:16.120
So I'm like, oh, let's just pray

1055
00:55:16.120 --> 00:55:20.600
and let's just pray violently.

1056
00:55:21.480 --> 00:55:24.840
So they're like, there ain't nobody on that team

1057
00:55:24.840 --> 00:55:26.440
that wants to pray violently.

1058
00:55:26.440 --> 00:55:31.440
Okay, so we grab hands again and we start praying

1059
00:55:31.680 --> 00:55:35.120
and we're like, Lord, we just, right now we plead,

1060
00:55:35.120 --> 00:55:36.400
whatever you can think of.

1061
00:55:36.400 --> 00:55:37.960
We're definitely not flowing in the spirit.

1062
00:55:37.960 --> 00:55:39.560
We're just like, whatever.

1063
00:55:39.560 --> 00:55:40.560
Plead the blood of Jesus.

1064
00:55:40.560 --> 00:55:42.920
Someone else like, yeah, blood, blood of Jesus.

1065
00:55:42.920 --> 00:55:47.920
And we just plead the blood of Jesus over this city.

1066
00:55:49.120 --> 00:55:51.760
And back and forth, like seven or eight more minutes,

1067
00:55:51.760 --> 00:55:53.860
which seems like forever.

1068
00:55:54.380 --> 00:55:57.980
And finally, we're like, the louder it gets,

1069
00:55:57.980 --> 00:55:59.020
the louder we get.

1070
00:55:59.020 --> 00:56:02.860
And pretty soon, you kind of lose the fear, right?

1071
00:56:02.860 --> 00:56:06.540
You start losing the fear and you start like getting into it.

1072
00:56:06.540 --> 00:56:08.300
So now we're kind of flowing like,

1073
00:56:08.300 --> 00:56:10.180
okay, we've been doing this for 15 minutes.

1074
00:56:10.180 --> 00:56:11.780
Nobody died.

1075
00:56:11.780 --> 00:56:12.820
Just go for it, you know?

1076
00:56:12.820 --> 00:56:15.540
So now we're starting to get into flow

1077
00:56:15.540 --> 00:56:17.060
and you're starting to get some spiritual thing.

1078
00:56:17.060 --> 00:56:19.340
Lord, we break the principality over the city.

1079
00:56:19.340 --> 00:56:21.060
We break the drug addiction over the city.

1080
00:56:21.180 --> 00:56:26.180
It's getting louder every time you call another prince out.

1081
00:56:27.940 --> 00:56:31.180
About seven more minutes goes by and it goes,

1082
00:56:31.180 --> 00:56:33.100
and we're praying, and it goes.

1083
00:56:38.300 --> 00:56:39.140
Just like that.

1084
00:56:46.620 --> 00:56:47.580
We stop praying.

1085
00:56:48.420 --> 00:56:51.420
Just pray one more time to make sure we got this thing.

1086
00:56:53.380 --> 00:56:55.380
Pray for a few more minutes, it's gone.

1087
00:56:57.140 --> 00:56:58.300
Really strange.

1088
00:56:58.300 --> 00:57:01.760
Two people on our team couldn't hear it.

1089
00:57:03.660 --> 00:57:05.660
This was not a spiritual experience.

1090
00:57:05.660 --> 00:57:07.460
This is an audible experience.

1091
00:57:07.460 --> 00:57:10.020
This was happening audibly.

1092
00:57:10.020 --> 00:57:12.940
And two people got in cars and said,

1093
00:57:12.940 --> 00:57:14.540
what were you guys listening to?

1094
00:57:15.380 --> 00:57:18.820
Neither one of these guys could hear

1095
00:57:18.820 --> 00:57:21.860
the audible voice of this demonic spirit

1096
00:57:21.860 --> 00:57:23.580
like the Lord had protected them.

1097
00:57:24.940 --> 00:57:27.100
And we all go back home and we're like,

1098
00:57:27.100 --> 00:57:29.100
that is the worst experience we ever had.

1099
00:57:30.660 --> 00:57:35.580
The next morning I got a call from the probation department.

1100
00:57:35.580 --> 00:57:38.540
Dick Mabee, he was over the probation and he said,

1101
00:57:38.540 --> 00:57:42.740
hey, I'd like to, we're going to take all the people

1102
00:57:42.740 --> 00:57:44.100
that have broken probation,

1103
00:57:44.100 --> 00:57:47.180
all the juveniles that have broken probation,

1104
00:57:47.180 --> 00:57:49.260
and we're going to insist that their parents

1105
00:57:49.260 --> 00:57:53.100
come to a seminar for the next six weeks

1106
00:57:53.100 --> 00:57:54.940
to learn how to parent.

1107
00:57:54.940 --> 00:57:59.940
And we have 37 of them who are on probation

1108
00:58:00.420 --> 00:58:03.380
who will be required to go to something,

1109
00:58:03.380 --> 00:58:06.500
and we'd like it to be a youth group.

1110
00:58:06.500 --> 00:58:09.300
Would you like to start a youth group for six weeks

1111
00:58:09.300 --> 00:58:10.540
under the probation department?

1112
00:58:10.540 --> 00:58:13.020
And I know the probation officer

1113
00:58:13.020 --> 00:58:15.380
because we work on his cars.

1114
00:58:15.380 --> 00:58:16.340
And he goes, you know, Chris,

1115
00:58:16.340 --> 00:58:18.660
I know you like to bang the Bible.

1116
00:58:21.620 --> 00:58:23.500
The guy's not a Christian, but you know,

1117
00:58:23.500 --> 00:58:24.980
you can do everything that,

1118
00:58:24.980 --> 00:58:28.380
but you can't like say Jesus or bring the Bible.

1119
00:58:28.380 --> 00:58:30.220
I'm like, that's cool.

1120
00:58:30.220 --> 00:58:33.100
Anyway, we ended up going there, sweeping out the thing,

1121
00:58:33.100 --> 00:58:34.420
and this is a whole longer story

1122
00:58:34.420 --> 00:58:35.820
that I actually don't want to tell the story,

1123
00:58:35.820 --> 00:58:39.420
but we ended up there, no, we ended up there for five years.

1124
00:58:39.420 --> 00:58:42.820
And we adopted our oldest son out of that group.

1125
00:58:43.980 --> 00:58:46.100
We averaged 120 kids a night.

1126
00:58:47.820 --> 00:58:49.900
For six weeks, we couldn't preach Jesus,

1127
00:58:49.900 --> 00:58:52.340
but we just preached morals.

1128
00:58:52.340 --> 00:58:56.700
The very first night I talked about sexual morality.

1129
00:58:56.700 --> 00:58:58.100
And I don't know if you've ever read the book,

1130
00:58:58.100 --> 00:59:01.740
Moral Revolution, but the first story that came out of there,

1131
00:59:01.740 --> 00:59:03.700
the first story that's in that book came,

1132
00:59:03.700 --> 00:59:06.900
the Lord gave it to me in 15 seconds in a vision

1133
00:59:06.900 --> 00:59:09.420
the night that I, first night I got there.

1134
00:59:09.420 --> 00:59:11.660
And I started talking about virginity

1135
00:59:11.660 --> 00:59:12.900
and how the Lord had,

1136
00:59:15.420 --> 00:59:18.220
why the Lord had given us a sex drive.

1137
00:59:18.220 --> 00:59:19.860
And at the end of the message,

1138
00:59:19.860 --> 00:59:21.740
I talked about this story about a ring

1139
00:59:21.740 --> 00:59:24.380
and how this guy had this ring

1140
00:59:24.380 --> 00:59:26.540
and he kept it through Vietnam

1141
00:59:26.540 --> 00:59:29.260
and kept it in the ring at the end of the story

1142
00:59:29.260 --> 00:59:31.180
that the ring is his virginity.

1143
00:59:32.020 --> 00:59:36.100
And you know that the girl lost the ring

1144
00:59:36.100 --> 00:59:37.020
at the end of the story

1145
00:59:37.020 --> 00:59:39.020
and she thought the value of the ring

1146
00:59:39.020 --> 00:59:41.220
was in the gold and the diamonds.

1147
00:59:41.220 --> 00:59:42.980
She didn't realize that the value of the ring

1148
00:59:42.980 --> 00:59:44.580
was actually in the blood, sweat and tears

1149
00:59:44.580 --> 00:59:47.820
it took to get the ring from the battlefield

1150
00:59:47.820 --> 00:59:49.580
all the way to the honeymoon suite.

1151
00:59:50.740 --> 00:59:53.180
Oh, and I said that, of course they were all,

1152
00:59:53.180 --> 00:59:54.460
you know, how long are we gonna talk?

1153
00:59:54.460 --> 00:59:56.380
You know, it was like they were playing basketball

1154
00:59:56.380 --> 00:59:58.300
and it was at halftime.

1155
00:59:58.300 --> 01:00:00.220
We got 10 minutes.

1156
01:00:00.000 --> 01:00:03.760
And it's in the story and they're weeping on the benches.

1157
01:00:03.760 --> 01:00:05.280
And at the end of the story, when they said,

1158
01:00:05.280 --> 01:00:07.100
and the ring was her virginity,

1159
01:00:08.880 --> 01:00:12.400
and the Lord has given you a trophy, da, da, da.

1160
01:00:12.400 --> 01:00:15.280
And I said, and the guy, the toughest guy in the front,

1161
01:00:15.280 --> 01:00:17.940
we've already had five fistfights the first night.

1162
01:00:17.940 --> 01:00:20.200
And he instituted like three of them.

1163
01:00:20.200 --> 01:00:22.840
He said, no one ever told me this

1164
01:00:22.840 --> 01:00:25.060
about the fact that his virginity mattered.

1165
01:00:25.960 --> 01:00:27.400
And the toughest girl in the room said,

1166
01:00:27.400 --> 01:00:29.980
no one ever never told me this either.

1167
01:00:29.980 --> 01:00:32.180
And we ended up with 37 kids weeping

1168
01:00:32.180 --> 01:00:33.660
about losing their virginity.

1169
01:00:34.980 --> 01:00:37.620
And I ended up shepherding them for five years,

1170
01:00:37.620 --> 01:00:39.200
twice a week for five years.

1171
01:00:40.060 --> 01:00:42.660
And we'll have this beautiful ministry.

1172
01:00:42.660 --> 01:00:45.560
But let me say, it started by bringing down

1173
01:00:45.560 --> 01:00:50.180
the Prince of the Pallady of the air

1174
01:00:51.180 --> 01:00:53.680
that was over a little city of 900.

1175
01:00:54.900 --> 01:00:58.980
And I'm like, I loved what we did in Weaverville

1176
01:00:58.980 --> 01:01:00.720
and in Trinity County,

1177
01:01:01.860 --> 01:01:05.460
because it felt like the Lord hit us away

1178
01:01:05.460 --> 01:01:06.980
and taught us spiritual things.

1179
01:01:06.980 --> 01:01:09.640
It's like we were in this big laboratory

1180
01:01:09.640 --> 01:01:12.580
where we could do stuff, we could succeed and fail

1181
01:01:14.700 --> 01:01:16.340
where nobody could see us.

1182
01:01:17.260 --> 01:01:19.060
And we did that for 20 years.

1183
01:01:19.060 --> 01:01:20.580
And the things we're teaching you here,

1184
01:01:20.580 --> 01:01:22.380
we learned almost all of them there.

1185
01:01:23.300 --> 01:01:25.460
And we got to do things like,

1186
01:01:25.460 --> 01:01:30.180
and I left there years later and I'm like,

1187
01:01:30.180 --> 01:01:33.220
I wonder if what we learned in a town of 900

1188
01:01:33.220 --> 01:01:35.540
could work in a town of 9 million.

1189
01:01:36.900 --> 01:01:38.780
And so I wanna talk to you a little bit

1190
01:01:38.780 --> 01:01:42.920
about spiritual warfare in this whole prophetic

1191
01:01:42.920 --> 01:01:47.280
and apostolic movement, because I feel like,

1192
01:01:47.280 --> 01:01:49.020
well, let me just begin by saying this,

1193
01:01:49.020 --> 01:01:53.600
we don't inhabit this planet, we cohabit this planet.

1194
01:01:54.600 --> 01:01:56.800
We cohabit this planet and this planet

1195
01:01:56.800 --> 01:01:59.160
doesn't just have humans on it.

1196
01:01:59.160 --> 01:02:01.360
It has angels and demons.

1197
01:02:01.360 --> 01:02:02.640
Now, this is the Bible.

1198
01:02:03.560 --> 01:02:07.320
And the challenge is that most Christians

1199
01:02:07.320 --> 01:02:09.520
don't actually believe in the devil.

1200
01:02:09.520 --> 01:02:12.360
I don't mean they don't theologically believe in the devil.

1201
01:02:12.360 --> 01:02:16.040
They just don't realize that if you don't,

1202
01:02:17.040 --> 01:02:19.280
if you don't actually believe in a devil,

1203
01:02:19.280 --> 01:02:22.680
you can actually become the victim of the invisible man.

1204
01:02:22.680 --> 01:02:27.680
They don't understand that there is actually warfare

1205
01:02:29.920 --> 01:02:33.480
in a realm that is invisible but tangible

1206
01:02:33.480 --> 01:02:37.720
that affects the realm that is visible and tangible.

1207
01:02:37.720 --> 01:02:41.820
And so let me just give you a little theology for it.

1208
01:02:41.820 --> 01:02:46.520
First of all, there is actually three heavens.

1209
01:02:46.520 --> 01:02:48.440
So some of you know this, but if you don't,

1210
01:02:48.440 --> 01:02:50.760
we're just gonna start with the basics.

1211
01:02:50.800 --> 01:02:52.960
How do we know there's three heavens?

1212
01:02:52.960 --> 01:02:55.120
Well, first of all, we know there's three heavens

1213
01:02:55.120 --> 01:02:58.720
because in 2 Corinthians 12, verse two through four,

1214
01:02:58.720 --> 01:03:02.320
Paul says, I knew a man who went to the third heaven.

1215
01:03:02.320 --> 01:03:04.800
Now we know by the time he's finished

1216
01:03:04.800 --> 01:03:06.640
that he's talking about himself.

1217
01:03:06.640 --> 01:03:09.640
And he saw things that were indescribable.

1218
01:03:09.640 --> 01:03:12.220
Okay, so if there's a third heaven,

1219
01:03:12.220 --> 01:03:14.860
then there has to be a second and a first.

1220
01:03:14.860 --> 01:03:17.400
So let me just give you a little theology.

1221
01:03:17.400 --> 01:03:22.400
In Genesis one, God made the heavens and the earth.

1222
01:03:22.720 --> 01:03:24.880
Okay, we call that the first heaven.

1223
01:03:24.880 --> 01:03:27.080
I used to say it's the visible realm,

1224
01:03:27.080 --> 01:03:28.580
but how many know that the first heaven

1225
01:03:28.580 --> 01:03:30.440
has lots of invisible things in it?

1226
01:03:30.440 --> 01:03:34.880
Like wifi, like radio waves, like sound waves.

1227
01:03:34.880 --> 01:03:38.160
So it's the human realm that we live in.

1228
01:03:38.160 --> 01:03:39.120
Are you following me?

1229
01:03:39.120 --> 01:03:40.720
Am I boring you?

1230
01:03:40.720 --> 01:03:41.940
Okay, you do have that look

1231
01:03:41.940 --> 01:03:43.040
that we've been talking to you about.

1232
01:03:43.040 --> 01:03:44.720
You have that look.

1233
01:03:44.720 --> 01:03:49.720
Okay, in Ephesians chapter six, verse two,

1234
01:03:50.640 --> 01:03:51.800
I'm sorry, verse 12.

1235
01:03:51.800 --> 01:03:54.440
It says, our struggle is not against flesh and blood,

1236
01:03:54.440 --> 01:03:56.520
but against rulers, against powers,

1237
01:03:56.520 --> 01:03:58.920
against world forces of this darkness,

1238
01:03:58.920 --> 01:04:03.240
against spiritual forces of wickedness in heavenly places.

1239
01:04:03.240 --> 01:04:07.360
How many know that there are no devils in God's heaven?

1240
01:04:07.360 --> 01:04:10.240
So we call that the second heaven.

1241
01:04:10.240 --> 01:04:12.840
So the demonic realm lives in the second heaven.

1242
01:04:12.880 --> 01:04:15.040
Humans live in the first heaven,

1243
01:04:15.040 --> 01:04:19.560
and God and all the angels live in the third heaven.

1244
01:04:19.560 --> 01:04:20.560
Are you with me?

1245
01:04:20.560 --> 01:04:23.320
Okay, so this is, I know this is highly theological,

1246
01:04:23.320 --> 01:04:26.100
but you actually need to know this.

1247
01:04:26.100 --> 01:04:29.080
So when you receive Jesus Christ,

1248
01:04:29.080 --> 01:04:30.740
you became a new creation.

1249
01:04:30.740 --> 01:04:33.040
And the word new there is,

1250
01:04:33.040 --> 01:04:35.200
there's two words for the word new in Greek, by the way,

1251
01:04:35.200 --> 01:04:37.440
kind of like we have in our language.

1252
01:04:37.440 --> 01:04:41.280
So the word new, there's the first word new in Greek

1253
01:04:41.280 --> 01:04:42.800
is like, I got a new car.

1254
01:04:43.640 --> 01:04:47.160
The other word new means prototype, never before created.

1255
01:04:47.160 --> 01:04:49.200
So when you receive Jesus Christ,

1256
01:04:49.200 --> 01:04:52.360
you actually became a new prototype,

1257
01:04:52.360 --> 01:04:55.660
a creature that had never before been created.

1258
01:04:55.660 --> 01:04:58.120
So when the Bible, when Paul says

1259
01:04:58.120 --> 01:04:59.760
that you are a new creation,

1260
01:05:00.000 --> 01:05:05.760
He's not talking about like you're renewed, like you got a car and it got all new,

1261
01:05:05.760 --> 01:05:11.520
or even that it got restored. The word there is that you actually got a completely,

1262
01:05:11.520 --> 01:05:16.160
you got a prototype, you became a creature that had never before been created.

1263
01:05:17.120 --> 01:05:24.080
And as far as we know in the Bible, and this may not be true, but as far as we know in the Bible,

1264
01:05:24.080 --> 01:05:29.360
you're the only creature that lives in two dimensions at the same time.

1265
01:05:29.440 --> 01:05:33.760
So you live on earth, you're here in Reading, California, some of you wherever you're

1266
01:05:33.760 --> 01:05:39.600
watching from on our online school, and you are currently, currently living in heaven.

1267
01:05:40.480 --> 01:05:46.320
Now for most believers, and probably most of the people in this room right now at least,

1268
01:05:46.960 --> 01:05:51.280
that's a theology and a philosophy. You're like, yeah, I'm living in heavenly places.

1269
01:05:52.080 --> 01:05:59.440
But when it becomes a reality, it changes your destiny. Because you literally live

1270
01:06:00.240 --> 01:06:03.760
in heaven and on earth. So people are like, do you believe in a rapture?

1271
01:06:04.560 --> 01:06:09.280
Well, that's another conversation, but rapture means to be caught up,

1272
01:06:09.280 --> 01:06:13.280
and when you receive Christ, you literally had at least one rapture already.

1273
01:06:14.000 --> 01:06:16.800
Because you've already been caught up in heavenly places.

1274
01:06:17.680 --> 01:06:22.720
So Ephesians, well, maybe you need a verse for it someplace. I'm sure I have one.

1275
01:06:24.960 --> 01:06:30.720
Yeah, so verse two of Ephesians, I mean, chapter, sorry, chapter two of Ephesians,

1276
01:06:30.720 --> 01:06:35.760
verse six, he raised us up with him, past tense, he raised us up with him,

1277
01:06:35.760 --> 01:06:41.120
and seated us in heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that for the ages to come,

1278
01:06:41.120 --> 01:06:45.920
he might show the surpassing greatness of his grace towards us and kindness in Christ Jesus.

1279
01:06:47.760 --> 01:06:53.040
And chapter one, verse 22, he put all things in subjection under his feet,

1280
01:06:53.920 --> 01:06:59.680
and gave him as head over all things to the church. Okay, let's just look at this one more time.

1281
01:06:59.680 --> 01:07:05.520
He put all things in subjection under his feet. Remember, this is the metaphor of the body.

1282
01:07:06.160 --> 01:07:12.240
He's the head, all the way down to the feet. And he's saying, the least of the saints, the feet,

1283
01:07:12.400 --> 01:07:20.560
the feet, right? He put all things in subjection under his feet. He raised us up,

1284
01:07:20.560 --> 01:07:25.120
and then he put all things in subjection under his feet. It's just really simple. He's saying

1285
01:07:26.080 --> 01:07:33.840
that the least saint, the youngest brand new believer, is still over in the third heaven,

1286
01:07:34.480 --> 01:07:40.880
over the second heaven. Are you following me? And not only were you seated in heavenly places,

1287
01:07:40.880 --> 01:07:47.680
but I don't know how technical to get here, but when you were born, you were born a little

1288
01:07:47.680 --> 01:07:54.720
lower than the angels. But when you were born again, you were raised up above the angelic,

1289
01:07:54.720 --> 01:08:01.680
and in Hebrews one, that you were born under, you became born over, and they became, angels,

1290
01:08:01.680 --> 01:08:09.280
became the servants of those who receive salvation. Okay, so there are levels in the demonic realm

1291
01:08:09.280 --> 01:08:14.960
of authority, which we'll read in just a minute. You're so, and you know, from demons all the way

1292
01:08:14.960 --> 01:08:21.680
to principalities. Are you with me? And so at the top of the second heaven is principalities.

1293
01:08:23.680 --> 01:08:30.960
You're, not only are you over the principalities as a brand new believer, but in the third heaven,

1294
01:08:30.960 --> 01:08:38.080
there are also levels of authority. Are you with me? The angels, and also then you got the

1295
01:08:38.080 --> 01:08:44.240
archangels, and you are above all of those, and you're sitting with Christ in heavenly places. So

1296
01:08:44.240 --> 01:08:53.439
literally, everything that has authority is under your feet. Like this is important because

1297
01:08:53.439 --> 01:09:00.160
we have Christians running from demons who have been, have, are you with me? Been disarmed and

1298
01:09:00.160 --> 01:09:05.760
defeated. They have no arms or feet. If they were in your swimming pool, their name be Bob.

1299
01:09:08.319 --> 01:09:19.359
Okay, so let's give you a little theology. The devil has power, which is the Greek word

1300
01:09:20.640 --> 01:09:29.439
um, deutomus, something like that, deutomus. He, God, Jesus said, I'm going to give you power, deutomus,

1301
01:09:29.520 --> 01:09:35.359
over all the power of the enemy. So you're not, so he has a knife, you have a gun,

1302
01:09:36.640 --> 01:09:43.359
so you have more power. But in Matthew 28, Jesus said, all authority has been given to me.

1303
01:09:44.160 --> 01:09:51.520
This is the word exousia. Remember Acts chapter two, don't lead, I'm sorry, Acts chapter one,

1304
01:09:51.520 --> 01:09:58.800
don't leave Jerusalem until you receive power, deutomus, from on high. Okay, so he's like,

1305
01:09:58.800 --> 01:10:00.240
Hey, I don't want you to leave this.

1306
01:10:00.000 --> 01:10:03.180
to receive power from on high.

1307
01:10:03.180 --> 01:10:06.800
So you have power and authority.

1308
01:10:08.160 --> 01:10:10.380
Okay, so think about a police officer.

1309
01:10:10.380 --> 01:10:13.140
He has power, he has a gun.

1310
01:10:13.140 --> 01:10:16.100
But he has authority, he has a badge.

1311
01:10:16.100 --> 01:10:17.260
Are you with me?

1312
01:10:17.260 --> 01:10:20.140
The devil has no authority anymore.

1313
01:10:21.200 --> 01:10:22.740
When Jesus rose from the dead,

1314
01:10:22.740 --> 01:10:27.740
he took away authority by paying for our sins on the cross.

1315
01:10:27.740 --> 01:10:28.580
Are you with me?

1316
01:10:29.580 --> 01:10:33.540
So the only way the devil gets authority to use his power

1317
01:10:33.540 --> 01:10:35.160
is when we deputize him.

1318
01:10:38.420 --> 01:10:41.100
And one of the ways you deputize him, of course,

1319
01:10:41.100 --> 01:10:44.700
is to agree with him in sin or to fear him

1320
01:10:44.700 --> 01:10:46.780
because fear is faith in the wrong God.

1321
01:10:48.300 --> 01:10:49.620
Are you with me?

1322
01:10:49.620 --> 01:10:52.920
You can't be afraid without faith.

1323
01:10:53.820 --> 01:10:54.660
Think about it.

1324
01:10:54.660 --> 01:10:55.500
If a little boy comes up to me

1325
01:10:55.500 --> 01:10:57.620
and says, I'm gonna beat you up, I feel no anxiety.

1326
01:10:57.620 --> 01:10:58.460
You know why?

1327
01:10:58.460 --> 01:11:02.380
Because I believe him, right?

1328
01:11:02.380 --> 01:11:04.780
If a gangster comes up and says, I'm gonna beat you up,

1329
01:11:04.780 --> 01:11:05.860
I have anxiety, why?

1330
01:11:05.860 --> 01:11:07.780
Because I believe him.

1331
01:11:07.780 --> 01:11:10.860
Fear is faith in the wrong God.

1332
01:11:12.020 --> 01:11:16.060
And when I fear, I actually have transferred my authority

1333
01:11:16.060 --> 01:11:19.580
just as Adam did when he ate the wrong tree

1334
01:11:19.580 --> 01:11:24.580
to the enemy who God defeated, I just deputized.

1335
01:11:26.180 --> 01:11:27.580
Are you with me?

1336
01:11:27.580 --> 01:11:31.500
Okay, so you have authority over principalities

1337
01:11:31.500 --> 01:11:33.780
and powers and demons.

1338
01:11:33.780 --> 01:11:37.720
So now, if you have a Bible, which you probably do,

1339
01:11:37.720 --> 01:11:39.900
turn to Ephesians chapter six.

1340
01:11:42.700 --> 01:11:47.700
And I actually want you to look at verse 10 with me

1341
01:11:50.100 --> 01:11:54.160
because I wanna show you something in your Bibles.

1342
01:11:55.260 --> 01:11:57.180
So verse 10, finally be strong in the Lord

1343
01:11:57.740 --> 01:11:59.780
in the strength of his might, put on the full armor of God

1344
01:11:59.780 --> 01:12:01.300
so that you may be able to stand firm

1345
01:12:01.300 --> 01:12:03.300
against the schemes of the devil.

1346
01:12:03.300 --> 01:12:05.940
For our struggle is not against flesh and blood,

1347
01:12:05.940 --> 01:12:10.180
but against the, now, depending on what version

1348
01:12:10.180 --> 01:12:13.500
of the Bible you have, that first word,

1349
01:12:13.500 --> 01:12:16.280
my mind says, our struggle is not against flesh and blood,

1350
01:12:16.280 --> 01:12:17.820
but against rulers.

1351
01:12:19.320 --> 01:12:21.540
Some of yours will say principalities.

1352
01:12:21.540 --> 01:12:25.020
If you have a numeric, I mean, sorry, NIV,

1353
01:12:25.020 --> 01:12:28.060
King James, I think says principalities.

1354
01:12:28.060 --> 01:12:30.020
Look at the very first word.

1355
01:12:30.020 --> 01:12:32.060
Our struggle is not against flesh and blood,

1356
01:12:32.060 --> 01:12:34.880
but against, see the word in your Bible?

1357
01:12:34.880 --> 01:12:39.880
Okay, the actual Greek word is the word origin, O-R-G-I-N.

1358
01:12:41.820 --> 01:12:46.280
So they're translated all kinds of things in English,

1359
01:12:46.280 --> 01:12:49.080
but the actual Greek word is the word origin.

1360
01:12:49.080 --> 01:12:49.920
Are you with me?

1361
01:12:49.920 --> 01:12:52.820
So we'll read the rest of them against rulers,

1362
01:12:52.820 --> 01:12:55.620
against powers, against world forces of this darkness,

1363
01:12:55.620 --> 01:12:58.740
against spiritual forces of wickedness in heavenly places.

1364
01:12:58.740 --> 01:13:00.900
All right, I just wanna show you one thing.

1365
01:13:02.620 --> 01:13:07.620
Demons and the demonic realm is named

1366
01:13:07.680 --> 01:13:09.780
after the influence they have on humans.

1367
01:13:11.020 --> 01:13:13.820
So origin is not its name.

1368
01:13:13.820 --> 01:13:16.820
It's not like your name, like your name's Chris, my name's,

1369
01:13:16.820 --> 01:13:19.780
it's like naming a disease.

1370
01:13:19.780 --> 01:13:21.140
Are you following me?

1371
01:13:21.140 --> 01:13:24.600
So when Jesus cast out a deaf and dumb spirit,

1372
01:13:24.600 --> 01:13:27.540
the name of the spirit wasn't deaf and dumb.

1373
01:13:27.540 --> 01:13:31.580
They're named after the influence they have on humans.

1374
01:13:31.580 --> 01:13:34.060
So when the deaf and dumb spirit was cast out,

1375
01:13:34.060 --> 01:13:37.000
the boy could hear and talk, right?

1376
01:13:37.000 --> 01:13:40.900
Okay, so this spirit, this prince,

1377
01:13:40.900 --> 01:13:44.440
this is actually not a demon, this is actually a prince,

1378
01:13:44.440 --> 01:13:46.560
and his name is origin.

1379
01:13:47.420 --> 01:13:49.660
Why is his name origin?

1380
01:13:49.660 --> 01:13:52.340
Because his responsibility,

1381
01:13:52.340 --> 01:13:54.740
the principality's responsibility

1382
01:13:54.740 --> 01:13:57.860
is to question the origins of God.

1383
01:14:00.220 --> 01:14:01.780
Are you with me?

1384
01:14:01.780 --> 01:14:03.780
Okay, I wanna show you one other place

1385
01:14:03.780 --> 01:14:05.660
where this word is used.

1386
01:14:05.660 --> 01:14:08.620
And this is gonna sound like it doesn't make sense.

1387
01:14:08.620 --> 01:14:11.780
In Philippians 4.15, Paul writes,

1388
01:14:11.780 --> 01:14:15.040
"'You yourselves also know, Philippians,

1389
01:14:15.040 --> 01:14:17.860
"'that at my first preaching of the gospel,'

1390
01:14:17.860 --> 01:14:19.420
"'at my first preaching of the gospel.'"

1391
01:14:19.420 --> 01:14:22.120
This New American Standard says first preaching.

1392
01:14:22.120 --> 01:14:24.020
The two words first preaching

1393
01:14:24.020 --> 01:14:26.280
are actually the Greek word origin.

1394
01:14:27.180 --> 01:14:28.860
You're like, what are you trying to say?

1395
01:14:28.860 --> 01:14:32.540
I'm saying that when Paul said to the Philippians,

1396
01:14:32.540 --> 01:14:36.700
"'When I first came to you and first preached to you,'

1397
01:14:36.700 --> 01:14:37.660
Paul wasn't talking about,

1398
01:14:37.660 --> 01:14:39.180
"'Well, the first time I preached to you.'

1399
01:14:39.180 --> 01:14:40.400
He says to the Philippians,

1400
01:14:40.400 --> 01:14:43.840
"'When I laid the origins of God out,

1401
01:14:43.840 --> 01:14:45.340
"'when I came to you the first time,

1402
01:14:45.380 --> 01:14:48.060
"'I laid out all the origins of God.'"

1403
01:14:48.060 --> 01:14:52.340
That word origin is the same word, Ephesians 6.

1404
01:14:52.340 --> 01:14:55.000
This ruler is named origin.

1405
01:14:55.000 --> 01:14:56.420
Are you following me?

1406
01:14:56.420 --> 01:15:00.060
What I'm trying to show you is that there is.

1407
01:15:00.000 --> 01:15:03.840
a war over who shapes the mindsets

1408
01:15:03.840 --> 01:15:06.880
and ultimately crafts history.

1409
01:15:07.760 --> 01:15:12.760
This spirit says, this spirit origin is responsible

1410
01:15:13.080 --> 01:15:17.680
for questioning and redefining the origins of God.

1411
01:15:17.680 --> 01:15:20.760
It says things like, are you really created

1412
01:15:20.760 --> 01:15:23.840
in the image of God or are you an evolutionized ape?

1413
01:15:26.440 --> 01:15:29.920
That is not a scientific statement.

1414
01:15:29.920 --> 01:15:32.240
That is a spirit that says,

1415
01:15:32.240 --> 01:15:34.960
you weren't made in the image of God.

1416
01:15:34.960 --> 01:15:36.920
You're just an evolutionized amoeba.

1417
01:15:36.920 --> 01:15:38.800
And you're like, I believe in evolution.

1418
01:15:38.800 --> 01:15:43.240
Maybe you do, but you should think of the repercussions

1419
01:15:43.240 --> 01:15:45.800
of thinking you're just a smart ape.

1420
01:15:47.120 --> 01:15:49.640
And I'd like to point out, the Bible says

1421
01:15:49.640 --> 01:15:52.280
that your origin is actually traced back

1422
01:15:52.280 --> 01:15:54.540
to the likeness of God.

1423
01:15:54.540 --> 01:15:58.540
Seven times, God says in Genesis one,

1424
01:15:58.540 --> 01:16:01.620
seven times God says let us make birds

1425
01:16:01.620 --> 01:16:03.900
in their own image, in their own likeness.

1426
01:16:03.900 --> 01:16:06.700
Let us make cattle in their own likeness.

1427
01:16:06.700 --> 01:16:10.140
Let us make fish in their own likeness.

1428
01:16:10.140 --> 01:16:13.340
And six times, God says likeness, likeness, likeness

1429
01:16:13.340 --> 01:16:18.340
in their own likeness, after their own kind he says.

1430
01:16:18.760 --> 01:16:21.160
After their own kind, he says in New America Standard.

1431
01:16:21.160 --> 01:16:23.660
After their kind, after their kind, after their kind,

1432
01:16:23.660 --> 01:16:25.500
after their kind, after their kind.

1433
01:16:25.500 --> 01:16:28.320
Seven times he says after their kind.

1434
01:16:28.320 --> 01:16:30.600
The very next verse says, God says,

1435
01:16:30.600 --> 01:16:32.880
let us make man in our likeness.

1436
01:16:32.880 --> 01:16:35.480
Can I say God's saying let us, now he says

1437
01:16:35.480 --> 01:16:36.920
after the fish, after their kind,

1438
01:16:36.920 --> 01:16:38.840
the birds after their kind, the cattle after their kind.

1439
01:16:38.840 --> 01:16:41.580
In other words he's saying they can't cross pollinate.

1440
01:16:41.580 --> 01:16:44.880
Then God goes and let us make man in our likeness

1441
01:16:44.880 --> 01:16:46.060
and in our image.

1442
01:16:46.060 --> 01:16:47.080
What's God saying?

1443
01:16:47.080 --> 01:16:49.420
Let's make man after the God kind.

1444
01:16:51.080 --> 01:16:52.920
You are not an evolutionized ape.

1445
01:16:54.800 --> 01:16:56.580
God is your daddy.

1446
01:16:57.420 --> 01:17:01.500
He made you in his image and in case you didn't know this,

1447
01:17:01.500 --> 01:17:03.900
he also made you in his likeness.

1448
01:17:03.900 --> 01:17:05.700
You look like your daddy.

1449
01:17:06.700 --> 01:17:10.660
Ephesians 5.1, be imitators of God as beloved children.

1450
01:17:10.660 --> 01:17:13.900
When you act like God, you're being yourself.

1451
01:17:13.900 --> 01:17:14.740
Well I'm not supposed to be like God,

1452
01:17:14.740 --> 01:17:16.020
I'm supposed to be like Jesus.

1453
01:17:16.020 --> 01:17:18.300
Well you better think about who Jesus is.

1454
01:17:20.420 --> 01:17:23.340
Because God gave you an image in Jesus Christ

1455
01:17:23.340 --> 01:17:27.820
so you could become like Jesus who is God.

1456
01:17:27.820 --> 01:17:30.100
Because your daddy is God.

1457
01:17:30.100 --> 01:17:33.460
It's not, you know, it's not Godzilla.

1458
01:17:36.320 --> 01:17:37.900
It's not Fifi.

1459
01:17:40.200 --> 01:17:41.100
Are you with me?

1460
01:17:41.960 --> 01:17:43.960
You were made in the image of God.

1461
01:17:43.960 --> 01:17:47.620
Your DNA can be traced back to God.

1462
01:17:48.980 --> 01:17:52.440
Okay, this spirit of origin says,

1463
01:17:52.440 --> 01:17:54.160
is that really a baby?

1464
01:17:54.160 --> 01:17:56.040
Maybe it's a fetus.

1465
01:18:00.240 --> 01:18:01.720
I know I'm making some people mad

1466
01:18:01.720 --> 01:18:03.200
but right now I don't care.

1467
01:18:08.920 --> 01:18:11.620
If you can't figure out that a fetus is a baby,

1468
01:18:11.620 --> 01:18:13.220
you are under a spirit.

1469
01:18:14.920 --> 01:18:17.560
If you can't figure out that what you're carrying

1470
01:18:17.560 --> 01:18:21.320
in your womb is human,

1471
01:18:22.240 --> 01:18:25.300
you can't tell me that you believe in science.

1472
01:18:27.160 --> 01:18:30.240
You can't tell me you're trying to protect women's rights

1473
01:18:30.240 --> 01:18:34.040
when half of the babies you're carrying are female.

1474
01:18:35.920 --> 01:18:39.040
And you can't tell me that your argument is logical

1475
01:18:39.040 --> 01:18:40.980
because it is not logical.

1476
01:18:42.840 --> 01:18:45.060
You're under the spirit of origin

1477
01:18:45.060 --> 01:18:49.100
when something so logical seems ridiculous to you.

1478
01:18:50.100 --> 01:18:52.580
Are you really a boy?

1479
01:18:53.540 --> 01:18:55.400
Maybe you're a girl.

1480
01:19:01.140 --> 01:19:02.860
I'm not making political statements.

1481
01:19:02.860 --> 01:19:05.380
These aren't political statements.

1482
01:19:05.380 --> 01:19:08.620
If anything, these are scientific statements.

1483
01:19:08.620 --> 01:19:13.620
But my point is, is that when you argue science

1484
01:19:13.980 --> 01:19:17.100
with somebody who's under the spirit of origin,

1485
01:19:17.100 --> 01:19:19.100
you will never win that argument

1486
01:19:19.100 --> 01:19:23.420
because the root of their decision making,

1487
01:19:23.420 --> 01:19:26.580
of their reasoning is not first heaven.

1488
01:19:28.700 --> 01:19:30.540
I just need to say that again.

1489
01:19:30.540 --> 01:19:34.240
You can't win a second heaven argument

1490
01:19:34.240 --> 01:19:37.620
with a first heaven logical reasoning.

1491
01:19:39.460 --> 01:19:40.700
You can't.

1492
01:19:40.700 --> 01:19:42.500
It's why Supreme Court protects

1493
01:19:42.500 --> 01:19:44.420
like the smartest people in the world.

1494
01:19:44.420 --> 01:19:49.420
You got, you know, the Association of,

1495
01:19:49.660 --> 01:19:53.580
APA, you have the Association of Psychiatrists

1496
01:19:53.580 --> 01:19:57.240
actually saying that transgenderism is normal.

1497
01:19:58.220 --> 01:20:00.220
These are smart people that you and I.

1498
01:20:00.000 --> 01:20:01.940
might go to for counseling.

1499
01:20:01.940 --> 01:20:05.000
And then when they get under the Spirit in this one area,

1500
01:20:05.000 --> 01:20:07.320
this seems totally logical to them.

1501
01:20:07.320 --> 01:20:10.140
I'm like, really, a boy who thinks he's a girl

1502
01:20:10.140 --> 01:20:11.380
is not mentally ill.

1503
01:20:13.340 --> 01:20:18.180
But if I'm so skinny, you know, I have anorexia,

1504
01:20:18.180 --> 01:20:21.260
but I think I'm heavy, I'm mentally ill.

1505
01:20:21.260 --> 01:20:25.260
But if I think I'm a boy when I'm actually a girl,

1506
01:20:25.260 --> 01:20:26.780
I'm actually mentally healthy.

1507
01:20:27.780 --> 01:20:31.320
And I'm saying that the people who are supposed to help

1508
01:20:31.320 --> 01:20:32.960
those people get well,

1509
01:20:32.960 --> 01:20:37.440
because they need compassion and they need help.

1510
01:20:37.440 --> 01:20:38.680
They don't need judgment.

1511
01:20:38.680 --> 01:20:41.040
But the people who are supposed to help them get well,

1512
01:20:41.040 --> 01:20:43.080
they're under the Spirit.

1513
01:20:43.080 --> 01:20:46.120
And pretty soon you're like, who do I believe?

1514
01:20:46.120 --> 01:20:49.240
And I'm pointing out that when we make arguments

1515
01:20:49.240 --> 01:20:52.620
with those people, we make first heaven arguments with them.

1516
01:20:53.800 --> 01:20:56.640
And we leave frustrated because no matter what you say,

1517
01:20:57.500 --> 01:20:58.340
it doesn't change their mind

1518
01:20:58.340 --> 01:21:00.420
because their mind isn't their own.

1519
01:21:07.700 --> 01:21:11.140
There's a spiritual war over the mindset of the world.

1520
01:21:11.140 --> 01:21:12.860
It's being fought in an invisible,

1521
01:21:12.860 --> 01:21:15.860
yet tangible dimensions of three heavens.

1522
01:21:15.860 --> 01:21:18.980
Second and third are engaged in a huge struggle

1523
01:21:18.980 --> 01:21:21.900
over who will influence the first heaven.

1524
01:21:26.740 --> 01:21:29.540
I'm letting you just think about it from what I just said.

1525
01:21:31.260 --> 01:21:32.500
I'm not mad at anybody.

1526
01:21:34.260 --> 01:21:37.900
I'm not mad at gay people or transgender people

1527
01:21:37.900 --> 01:21:39.660
or people who think it's okay.

1528
01:21:39.660 --> 01:21:42.420
I'm not mad at anybody, I'm a passionate person.

1529
01:21:42.420 --> 01:21:46.120
And I realized that those people need love and compassion,

1530
01:21:46.120 --> 01:21:47.860
but they also need truth.

1531
01:21:50.540 --> 01:21:52.900
Well, you have your truth, I have my truth.

1532
01:21:52.900 --> 01:21:55.020
Yes, but our truth, when I jump off here,

1533
01:21:55.020 --> 01:21:56.420
I'm probably gonna go down.

1534
01:21:57.480 --> 01:22:01.600
100 times out of 100, if I jump off a roof

1535
01:22:01.600 --> 01:22:04.400
with no equipment, I'm going to go down.

1536
01:22:04.400 --> 01:22:07.280
That's not your truth or my truth, that's the truth.

1537
01:22:07.280 --> 01:22:08.340
It's called gravity.

1538
01:22:09.360 --> 01:22:10.700
There is the truth.

1539
01:22:11.800 --> 01:22:14.400
Your truth doesn't override the truth.

1540
01:22:16.360 --> 01:22:18.560
You never break the law, it only breaks you.

1541
01:22:19.440 --> 01:22:22.240
When God says don't, there's always a reason.

1542
01:22:22.240 --> 01:22:24.280
God created sex, he created orgasms,

1543
01:22:25.140 --> 01:22:27.780
he created taste buds, he created fun.

1544
01:22:27.780 --> 01:22:29.540
God created all that.

1545
01:22:29.540 --> 01:22:31.940
Like, God's not the cosmic killjoy.

1546
01:22:35.660 --> 01:22:38.580
I mean, can you imagine what it would be like

1547
01:22:38.580 --> 01:22:41.620
if you had children through laying an egg

1548
01:22:41.620 --> 01:22:43.320
and had sat on it for nine months?

1549
01:22:43.320 --> 01:22:45.300
I mean, how many would be here?

1550
01:22:49.180 --> 01:22:51.960
I mean, orgasm was God's idea.

1551
01:22:51.960 --> 01:22:52.960
I'm not being gross.

1552
01:22:53.940 --> 01:22:55.700
That was God's idea.

1553
01:22:55.700 --> 01:22:56.540
God doesn't get the credit for that.

1554
01:22:56.540 --> 01:22:58.680
It was God's idea to make that fun.

1555
01:23:00.660 --> 01:23:02.620
This is God's idea.

1556
01:23:02.620 --> 01:23:05.260
God himself says he loves the pleasure of his people.

1557
01:23:06.540 --> 01:23:08.960
So when God says, hey, don't do it that way,

1558
01:23:08.960 --> 01:23:11.100
God is like, he's trying to take away my fun.

1559
01:23:11.100 --> 01:23:14.220
He created the Disneyland you love to go to.

1560
01:23:17.380 --> 01:23:18.360
That was discreet.

1561
01:23:18.880 --> 01:23:19.760
That was discreet, right Ben?

1562
01:23:19.760 --> 01:23:21.560
That was pretty discreet.

1563
01:23:21.560 --> 01:23:23.600
Very discreet.

1564
01:23:23.600 --> 01:23:25.180
For a guy who started Moral Revolution,

1565
01:23:25.180 --> 01:23:26.760
I thought that was very discreet.

1566
01:23:34.620 --> 01:23:36.360
Oh, I have eight minutes.

1567
01:23:37.520 --> 01:23:41.060
I'm only on page two of the 17 pages.

1568
01:23:43.360 --> 01:23:46.360
So, God is saying, hey, don't do it that way.

1569
01:23:47.360 --> 01:23:49.320
So, here's the deal.

1570
01:23:52.340 --> 01:23:57.340
Revelation four, Jesus is talking to John the apostle.

1571
01:23:57.480 --> 01:23:58.320
You with me?

1572
01:23:58.320 --> 01:24:00.800
And he says to John, come up here.

1573
01:24:03.380 --> 01:24:06.440
And John said, I was in the spirit on the Lord's day.

1574
01:24:06.440 --> 01:24:09.360
Come up here and I'll show you

1575
01:24:09.360 --> 01:24:11.800
what must take place after these things.

1576
01:24:11.800 --> 01:24:13.600
What I'm getting at is that when we sit

1577
01:24:13.600 --> 01:24:15.980
in our heavenly seat, come up here,

1578
01:24:16.620 --> 01:24:18.860
our heavenly seat gives us eternal perspectives.

1579
01:24:18.860 --> 01:24:21.740
So, we see things not as they are, but as they should be.

1580
01:24:23.100 --> 01:24:26.520
And then we pray and our prayers become prophecies

1581
01:24:26.520 --> 01:24:28.860
and our words become worlds.

1582
01:24:28.860 --> 01:24:30.140
Are you with me?

1583
01:24:30.140 --> 01:24:32.460
And what I'm, listen, if you don't hear anything else

1584
01:24:32.460 --> 01:24:35.140
I have to say today, I'm saying,

1585
01:24:35.140 --> 01:24:37.740
we live on earth and in heaven.

1586
01:24:38.620 --> 01:24:41.360
The question is, do we live from earth towards heaven?

1587
01:24:42.500 --> 01:24:45.300
Or do we live, come up here, come up here,

1588
01:24:45.660 --> 01:24:48.660
or do we live from heaven towards earth?

1589
01:24:48.660 --> 01:24:52.260
Listen, if you're not careful,

1590
01:24:52.260 --> 01:24:55.700
you'll remember the theology and not get the experience

1591
01:24:55.700 --> 01:24:57.460
of what I'm trying to say.

1592
01:24:57.460 --> 01:25:00.100
I'm saying, if we come up here and we live.

1593
01:25:00.000 --> 01:25:03.720
from heaven towards earth, right?

1594
01:25:04.740 --> 01:25:08.620
Now, I'm not under the circumstances.

1595
01:25:09.580 --> 01:25:11.400
I'm over the circumstances.

1596
01:25:12.480 --> 01:25:15.200
Because when I live from earth towards heaven,

1597
01:25:15.200 --> 01:25:17.700
I'm always, get the word always,

1598
01:25:17.700 --> 01:25:21.300
I'm always living in reaction to what's already happened.

1599
01:25:21.300 --> 01:25:23.540
Which by the way, there's going to be a lot of that.

1600
01:25:23.540 --> 01:25:24.580
I get that.

1601
01:25:24.580 --> 01:25:27.780
I'm praying for the person who's already sick.

1602
01:25:27.780 --> 01:25:31.060
I'm praying for the person who's already demonized.

1603
01:25:31.060 --> 01:25:35.540
I'm praying for my country who are in a problem.

1604
01:25:35.540 --> 01:25:36.380
I get that.

1605
01:25:36.380 --> 01:25:38.360
I don't mean don't do that.

1606
01:25:38.360 --> 01:25:41.300
But when that's all I do,

1607
01:25:41.300 --> 01:25:44.500
I'm actually living from earth towards heaven,

1608
01:25:44.500 --> 01:25:46.540
and I'm living in reaction

1609
01:25:46.540 --> 01:25:48.800
to what the second heaven already did.

1610
01:25:50.140 --> 01:25:51.980
But if I come up here,

1611
01:25:51.980 --> 01:25:55.540
and I begin to dictate by the power and authority

1612
01:25:55.540 --> 01:25:58.220
of Jesus Christ, of course, and the mind of the Lord,

1613
01:25:58.220 --> 01:26:00.580
I begin to dictate history.

1614
01:26:00.580 --> 01:26:04.780
Now, the enemy's in the defensive position

1615
01:26:05.660 --> 01:26:09.620
because I am directing history as the Holy Spirit leads

1616
01:26:09.620 --> 01:26:12.940
and guides me through my prayers and prophecies.

1617
01:26:13.820 --> 01:26:17.100
And I begin to say, my nation shall prosper.

1618
01:26:18.020 --> 01:26:23.020
My children, my children shall all be taught of the Lord.

1619
01:26:23.140 --> 01:26:26.260
And I begin to call things that are not,

1620
01:26:26.260 --> 01:26:30.140
maybe, maybe they're not, as though they are, right?

1621
01:26:30.140 --> 01:26:31.780
Remember, we talked about foretelling

1622
01:26:31.780 --> 01:26:33.260
is I'm telling the future,

1623
01:26:33.260 --> 01:26:37.100
but foretelling is I'm causing the future.

1624
01:26:37.100 --> 01:26:39.980
I'm going down to the valley of dry bones,

1625
01:26:39.980 --> 01:26:42.180
Ezekiel 37, so to speak,

1626
01:26:42.180 --> 01:26:43.980
and God says, can these bones live?

1627
01:26:43.980 --> 01:26:45.740
And I go, I don't know.

1628
01:26:45.740 --> 01:26:46.860
You know.

1629
01:26:46.860 --> 01:26:49.740
And God says, prophesy, get this,

1630
01:26:49.740 --> 01:26:52.500
prophesy to the bones.

1631
01:26:52.540 --> 01:26:54.420
I'm not prophesying about the bones,

1632
01:26:54.420 --> 01:26:55.900
I'm prophesying to the bones.

1633
01:26:55.900 --> 01:26:57.340
This is foretelling.

1634
01:26:58.340 --> 01:27:01.220
And God gives me a progressive revelation

1635
01:27:01.220 --> 01:27:03.020
about the bones, right?

1636
01:27:03.020 --> 01:27:05.100
First he said, first the bones stand up,

1637
01:27:05.100 --> 01:27:07.380
and then they rattle, then I get sinews,

1638
01:27:07.380 --> 01:27:09.260
then we get flesh, then finally we have breath.

1639
01:27:09.260 --> 01:27:10.300
You get the idea.

1640
01:27:10.300 --> 01:27:12.300
I'm saying it's progressive revelation,

1641
01:27:12.300 --> 01:27:14.260
it's progressive prophecy.

1642
01:27:14.260 --> 01:27:15.460
I didn't get it all at once,

1643
01:27:15.460 --> 01:27:17.260
and I'm progressively prophesying,

1644
01:27:17.260 --> 01:27:18.700
and it becomes a mighty army.

1645
01:27:18.820 --> 01:27:21.740
And the challenge is, is that most of us,

1646
01:27:21.740 --> 01:27:25.660
I'll say all of us, because we include everyone in this room,

1647
01:27:25.660 --> 01:27:28.220
we get under the circumstances,

1648
01:27:28.220 --> 01:27:31.020
and we start repeating what the news says.

1649
01:27:32.860 --> 01:27:36.180
You know, whatever you eat comes out in your crap.

1650
01:27:36.180 --> 01:27:41.180
That was scientifically true.

1651
01:27:41.180 --> 01:27:44.180
That was scientifically true.

1652
01:27:47.860 --> 01:27:50.700
Your crap tells me what you're feeding on.

1653
01:27:53.180 --> 01:27:56.780
My, yeah, a little too, like, okay, change the metaphors.

1654
01:27:58.020 --> 01:28:00.380
I'm pointing out that what goes,

1655
01:28:00.380 --> 01:28:02.500
what's coming out of our mouth

1656
01:28:02.500 --> 01:28:04.500
is often what we're feeding on.

1657
01:28:05.380 --> 01:28:08.100
And so I listened to the president,

1658
01:28:08.100 --> 01:28:12.620
and he just got, you know, whatever.

1659
01:28:14.620 --> 01:28:17.140
DEA or whatever, they broke into his house,

1660
01:28:17.140 --> 01:28:19.820
and pretty soon I'm mad, and I'm like,

1661
01:28:19.820 --> 01:28:23.620
I repeat that, and I'm like, I'm under the circumstances.

1662
01:28:23.620 --> 01:28:27.140
I'm angry, the media has told me what to think.

1663
01:28:27.140 --> 01:28:30.780
I watch the news, not just to hear what happened,

1664
01:28:30.780 --> 01:28:33.580
but for someone to tell me, what should I think about that?

1665
01:28:33.580 --> 01:28:35.580
Was that good or bad?

1666
01:28:35.580 --> 01:28:37.420
Is that right or wrong?

1667
01:28:37.420 --> 01:28:39.940
And I'm like, I'm literally,

1668
01:28:39.940 --> 01:28:43.500
the second heaven is literally feeding me their information,

1669
01:28:43.500 --> 01:28:45.620
and I am complaining,

1670
01:28:45.620 --> 01:28:47.820
and I'm taking the anointing on my life,

1671
01:28:47.820 --> 01:28:50.460
and I'm digging the bones deeper into the ground

1672
01:28:50.460 --> 01:28:54.180
and calling it prayer, and complaining is in prayer.

1673
01:29:00.700 --> 01:29:04.540
Complaining is to the devil what worship is to God.

1674
01:29:07.980 --> 01:29:11.860
Complaining is to the devil what worship is to God.

1675
01:29:11.860 --> 01:29:16.700
When I see something, I don't like to watch the news anymore.

1676
01:29:16.700 --> 01:29:18.460
I do read the headlines quite a bit,

1677
01:29:18.460 --> 01:29:21.620
and I'm like, all right, Lord, what do you think about that?

1678
01:29:21.620 --> 01:29:23.640
And maybe the Lord's like, I wanna rebuke that,

1679
01:29:23.640 --> 01:29:26.980
I wanna help that, I wanna pray for former President Trump,

1680
01:29:26.980 --> 01:29:28.500
I wanna pray for President Biden.

1681
01:29:28.500 --> 01:29:31.140
No, President Biden can't put two words together.

1682
01:29:31.140 --> 01:29:34.560
Lord, I just pray for him, 79 years old, he's my president.

1683
01:29:34.560 --> 01:29:36.180
God, I pray you'd change his mind,

1684
01:29:36.180 --> 01:29:39.020
that you would, you know, whatever, whatever.

1685
01:29:39.020 --> 01:29:40.980
I'm not praying at him, but I am, Lord.

1686
01:29:40.980 --> 01:29:42.500
He have an encounter.

1687
01:29:42.500 --> 01:29:44.260
Lord, let him know the truth in this area.

1688
01:29:44.260 --> 01:29:45.700
Lord, support him.

1689
01:29:45.700 --> 01:29:47.940
Lord, 79 years old, leading the country.

1690
01:29:47.940 --> 01:29:49.780
Lord, I pray for strength for him.

1691
01:29:49.780 --> 01:29:51.580
I pray for wisdom, Lord, I pray.

1692
01:29:51.580 --> 01:29:53.780
Lord, you put prophets in his life

1693
01:29:53.780 --> 01:29:58.060
to lead our country out of immorality and into purity.

1694
01:29:58.060 --> 01:30:00.060
Lord, you see where I'm going, I'm like.

1695
01:30:00.000 --> 01:30:06.000
I could get under that spirit, and you know how I feel about morality, I started a moral revolution.

1696
01:30:06.000 --> 01:30:11.000
I mean, I could really get in the complaint mode when it comes to moral issues.

1697
01:30:11.000 --> 01:30:15.000
Especially when it's affecting my children and my grandchildren, I could get really pissed.

1698
01:30:15.000 --> 01:30:17.000
You just get me started.

1699
01:30:17.000 --> 01:30:23.000
And now I'm just feeding the ecosystem of hatred and bitterness.

1700
01:30:23.000 --> 01:30:28.000
And I want to tell you, the devil hates Republicans.

1701
01:30:28.000 --> 01:30:35.000
The devil hates Democrats.

1702
01:30:35.000 --> 01:30:39.000
The devil hates conservatives.

1703
01:30:39.000 --> 01:30:42.000
He also hates liberals.

1704
01:30:42.000 --> 01:30:45.000
He hates humans.

1705
01:30:45.000 --> 01:30:51.000
He doesn't care what side of the aisle they're on in your country or in mine.

1706
01:30:51.000 --> 01:30:55.000
He just hates them because they were made in the image of God.

1707
01:30:55.000 --> 01:30:57.000
And he said, I will be like God.

1708
01:30:57.000 --> 01:30:59.000
And God said, no you won't.

1709
01:30:59.000 --> 01:31:04.000
He said, I will rise up to the assembly of the Trinity.

1710
01:31:04.000 --> 01:31:05.000
And God said, no you won't.

1711
01:31:05.000 --> 01:31:10.000
And then he said to us, I'll make you in my image, and I'll raise you up and seat you in heavenly places.

1712
01:31:10.000 --> 01:31:14.000
The devil hates you because you have what he wanted.

1713
01:31:14.000 --> 01:31:19.000
By the way, have you ever thought about why God put the devil and you on the same planet?

1714
01:31:19.000 --> 01:31:23.000
I mean, why not put the devil on Jupiter?

1715
01:31:24.000 --> 01:31:27.000
Or Pluto, or some other universe would be fine with me.

1716
01:31:27.000 --> 01:31:30.000
He didn't put the devil here to torment you.

1717
01:31:30.000 --> 01:31:36.000
He put the devil here to torment him.

1718
01:31:36.000 --> 01:31:38.000
Do you know that?

1719
01:31:38.000 --> 01:31:43.000
The lake of fire was never made for humans.

1720
01:31:43.000 --> 01:31:47.000
Before humans ever sinned, angels sinned.

1721
01:31:47.000 --> 01:31:50.000
And God gave them no redemption plan.

1722
01:31:50.000 --> 01:31:53.000
And when you sin, God goes, I'm even going to give them a redemption plan.

1723
01:31:53.000 --> 01:31:55.000
And the devil's like, you favor them.

1724
01:31:55.000 --> 01:31:58.000
And God's like, I do.

1725
01:31:58.000 --> 01:31:59.000
I do.

1726
01:31:59.000 --> 01:32:03.000
You're going to bruise their heel, and they're going to crush your head.

1727
01:32:03.000 --> 01:32:07.000
And this is the sentence over Satan.

1728
01:32:07.000 --> 01:32:11.000
I'm going to take away your authority, and I'm going to leave you alive with people who hate you.

1729
01:32:11.000 --> 01:32:17.000
And by the way, do you know who is carrying hatred for the devil more than anyone?

1730
01:32:17.000 --> 01:32:18.000
Women.

1731
01:32:18.000 --> 01:32:19.000
You know why?

1732
01:32:19.000 --> 01:32:22.000
Because that's what the curse over the devil was.

1733
01:32:22.000 --> 01:32:26.000
I'm going to put enmity between your seed and her seed.

1734
01:32:26.000 --> 01:32:29.000
Enmity means anger, bitterness, hatred.

1735
01:32:29.000 --> 01:32:34.000
He's saying, here's the curse over the devil, not the woman.

1736
01:32:34.000 --> 01:32:37.000
The woman is going to hate you forever.

1737
01:32:37.000 --> 01:32:40.000
She's going to teach her seed to hate you.

1738
01:32:40.000 --> 01:32:44.000
When they come out of the womb, they're going to step on you so hard,

1739
01:32:44.000 --> 01:32:47.000
they're going to bruise their heel and crush your head.

1740
01:32:47.000 --> 01:32:49.000
Do you know why the devil hates women?

1741
01:32:49.000 --> 01:32:52.000
Because he knows that if women get in power, he's in deep trouble.

1742
01:32:52.000 --> 01:32:59.000
Because hatred for the devil is inherent in women.

1743
01:32:59.000 --> 01:33:03.000
If you think I'm wrong, go read Genesis 3.

1744
01:33:03.000 --> 01:33:04.000
That's the curse.

1745
01:33:04.000 --> 01:33:07.000
I read it as the curse over women for years.

1746
01:33:07.000 --> 01:33:11.000
And then when I was writing the book Fashion to Reign, I realized,

1747
01:33:11.000 --> 01:33:16.000
oh, the curse over the devil is that the woman is going to be eternally angry with you.

1748
01:33:16.000 --> 01:33:19.000
I'm going to put hostility, not between the man and you,

1749
01:33:19.000 --> 01:33:21.000
between the woman and you.

1750
01:33:21.000 --> 01:33:25.000
That's why any time you call the intercessors together in any church,

1751
01:33:25.000 --> 01:33:35.000
if 100 intercessors come, 70 of them are women.

1752
01:33:35.000 --> 01:33:37.000
Well, it's just a feminine thing.

1753
01:33:37.000 --> 01:33:44.000
No, it's a violent thing, and they are violent against the devil.

1754
01:33:45.000 --> 01:33:52.000
Now you want me to keep preaching, but my time is up.

1755
01:33:52.000 --> 01:33:53.000
You guys have to have a break.

1756
01:33:53.000 --> 01:33:59.000
At this point, you're only going to get a few minutes.

1757
01:33:59.000 --> 01:34:03.000
You were born to be more than a conqueror.

1758
01:34:03.000 --> 01:34:04.000
Listen to me now.

1759
01:34:04.000 --> 01:34:05.000
You are not a victim.

1760
01:34:05.000 --> 01:34:09.000
Please stop acting like one.

1761
01:34:09.000 --> 01:34:13.000
The church is inherently victimized.

1762
01:34:13.000 --> 01:34:15.000
I know, I'm going to offend you with my example.

1763
01:34:15.000 --> 01:34:17.000
Oh, they wouldn't let us in the churches.

1764
01:34:17.000 --> 01:34:18.000
Our church is over.

1765
01:34:18.000 --> 01:34:20.000
Listen, if they can keep you out of a church building,

1766
01:34:20.000 --> 01:34:26.000
and you no longer have a church, you didn't have one.

1767
01:34:26.000 --> 01:34:30.000
In the first place.

1768
01:34:30.000 --> 01:34:32.000
I know, I just made half of you mad.

1769
01:34:32.000 --> 01:34:35.000
I did it on purpose.

1770
01:34:35.000 --> 01:34:38.000
I was trying to make you realize, like, you are not a victim.

1771
01:34:38.000 --> 01:34:40.000
You are the victor.

1772
01:34:40.000 --> 01:34:41.000
You are not the little guy.

1773
01:34:41.000 --> 01:34:43.000
It's not my little light of mine.

1774
01:34:43.000 --> 01:34:44.000
I'm going to make it shine.

1775
01:34:44.000 --> 01:34:46.000
You don't have a little light.

1776
01:34:46.000 --> 01:34:49.000
You have the sun of righteousness.

1777
01:34:49.000 --> 01:34:52.000
S-U-N, sun of righteousness.

1778
01:34:52.000 --> 01:34:53.000
We've got to get out of it.

1779
01:34:53.000 --> 01:34:56.000
We're just powerless people hiding over here in a corner,

1780
01:34:56.000 --> 01:34:57.000
hoping the big guy doesn't get us.

1781
01:34:57.000 --> 01:35:00.000
That's just bull crap.

1782
01:35:00.000 --> 01:35:04.880
Well, in the last days, you know, the church is going to get brighter and brighter and

1783
01:35:04.880 --> 01:35:07.880
the world is going to get darker and darker until Jesus gets back.

1784
01:35:07.880 --> 01:35:11.640
Well, that's funny because you're called the light of the world, not the light of the church.

1785
01:35:11.640 --> 01:35:18.160
I'm telling you, the devil is twisting our theology against us in a way that makes us

1786
01:35:18.160 --> 01:35:19.720
feel good about the world getting darker.

1787
01:35:19.720 --> 01:35:21.400
Well, it's just a sign of the times.

1788
01:35:21.400 --> 01:35:27.040
No, it's a sign that you're not doing your job.

1789
01:35:27.040 --> 01:35:31.720
Can you imagine being the janitor and singing songs about how bad the place looks after

1790
01:35:31.720 --> 01:35:37.560
you're done?

1791
01:35:37.560 --> 01:35:41.640
This crappy little sanctuary looks so dirty.

1792
01:35:41.640 --> 01:35:43.640
Like that's not a revival song.

1793
01:35:43.640 --> 01:35:47.440
That's a song about how poorly you're doing your job.

1794
01:35:47.440 --> 01:35:48.440
You're a light of the world.

1795
01:35:48.440 --> 01:35:49.520
You're the salt of the earth.

1796
01:35:49.520 --> 01:35:52.880
It's your job to destroy the works of the devil.

1797
01:35:52.880 --> 01:35:59.360
You've been called to disciple nations, not just disciple people in nations, to disciple

1798
01:35:59.360 --> 01:36:01.160
the nations.

1799
01:36:01.160 --> 01:36:03.520
There's someone else trying to disciple the nations.

1800
01:36:03.520 --> 01:36:05.320
That's what this message is about.

1801
01:36:05.320 --> 01:36:07.480
You're in a war with the second heaven.

1802
01:36:07.480 --> 01:36:15.440
You got to come up here or you're going to get your butts kicked down here.

1803
01:36:15.440 --> 01:36:19.200
And we're living down here and we're like, yeah, I believe in a devil.

1804
01:36:19.200 --> 01:36:22.440
And every time I get anything sick, anything, and I'm not saying there isn't first heaven

1805
01:36:22.440 --> 01:36:23.440
problems.

1806
01:36:23.440 --> 01:36:24.440
There obviously is.

1807
01:36:24.440 --> 01:36:29.280
But every time anything bad happens, I go to the doctor before I go to the great physician

1808
01:36:29.280 --> 01:36:35.480
because I really don't believe that spirits can actually affect me.

1809
01:36:35.480 --> 01:36:38.240
Then I go to Africa and they're like, they got witch doctors.

1810
01:36:38.240 --> 01:36:40.960
They got the same stuff everywhere.

1811
01:36:40.960 --> 01:36:46.280
Just the Africans know about it and you don't.

1812
01:36:46.280 --> 01:36:50.800
You can't smart yourself out of demonic activity.

1813
01:36:50.800 --> 01:36:55.800
You can't educate yourself out of a demonic spirit.

1814
01:36:55.800 --> 01:36:57.840
Those people over there are just not educated.

1815
01:36:57.840 --> 01:37:04.080
They know more than you do.

1816
01:37:04.080 --> 01:37:06.080
Hopefully that's not true.

1817
01:37:06.080 --> 01:37:07.560
Well that was a bad prophecy, Chris.

1818
01:37:07.560 --> 01:37:08.560
There it is.

1819
01:37:08.560 --> 01:37:09.560
See how it felt to be cursed?

1820
01:37:09.560 --> 01:37:12.960
So I'm going to pray for you right now.

1821
01:37:12.960 --> 01:37:16.080
Now you only have a 10 minute break.

1822
01:37:16.080 --> 01:37:19.540
Holy Spirit, you should stand up.

1823
01:37:19.540 --> 01:37:22.220
You should stand up on your chair.

1824
01:37:22.220 --> 01:37:26.940
Stand up on your chair.

1825
01:37:26.940 --> 01:37:27.940
Come up here.

1826
01:37:27.940 --> 01:37:29.940
Come on, you guys.

1827
01:37:29.940 --> 01:37:30.940
You're online.

1828
01:37:30.940 --> 01:37:36.940
You should stand up on your chair.

1829
01:37:36.940 --> 01:37:43.940
Come up here.

1830
01:37:43.940 --> 01:37:46.020
Come up here.

1831
01:37:46.020 --> 01:37:48.020
Come up here.

1832
01:37:48.020 --> 01:37:53.020
Come up here.

1833
01:37:53.020 --> 01:37:57.020
Come up here.

1834
01:37:57.020 --> 01:38:00.020
Come up here.

1835
01:38:00.020 --> 01:38:10.020
Okay, I commission you as an apostolic prophetic people to live up here.

1836
01:38:10.020 --> 01:38:11.020
Amen.

1837
01:38:11.020 --> 01:38:12.020
God bless.

1838
01:38:12.020 --> 01:38:13.020
God bless.

1839
01:38:13.020 --> 01:38:20.020
You have until 345, which now is nine minutes.

1840
01:38:20.020 --> 01:38:23.020
And sorry, you encouraged me, so you got a shorter break.
