00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:26.640
Kia Ora everybody, welcome to day 14, just waiting, glory Jesus, glory to your name,

2
00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:36.960
Kia Ora Lewis, Sheree, James, Kia Ora, just waiting for whānau to come online,

3
00:00:36.960 --> 00:00:46.800
God bless you, cheers, Mel, Hallelujah, Bebe from Australia, Kia Ora, and Pania, Kia Ora,

4
00:00:48.320 --> 00:00:54.560
thank you Jesus, Cheryl, Kia Ora, now for those of you who don't know what Kia Ora is,

5
00:00:54.560 --> 00:01:01.120
that's Māori for greetings or peace to you, or means a lot of different things, so those who

6
00:01:01.120 --> 00:01:06.000
are watching from overseas, different nations, different languages, that's what that means,

7
00:01:06.960 --> 00:01:17.600
Hallelujah, Kia Ora Kyle, Hallelujah, okay, this is day 14 from what I understand, so

8
00:01:18.400 --> 00:01:23.440
tomorrow's day 15, so we'll be at our halfway mark of the free 30 days,

9
00:01:24.320 --> 00:01:31.600
just to reiterate what this course is, the 30 days of free Wari activist course teaching,

10
00:01:33.440 --> 00:01:37.520
we're on a journey, we're all on a journey, so some of you have been with me from day one,

11
00:01:37.520 --> 00:01:41.360
some of you joined up on day two, it doesn't matter what day you joined up, but you're part

12
00:01:41.360 --> 00:01:45.760
of the whānau now, you're on the journey, I would encourage you to go back if you haven't

13
00:01:45.760 --> 00:01:51.280
watched the first series, to go back and sort of backdate and go through one, day one, day two,

14
00:01:51.280 --> 00:01:56.800
day three, because we're building a foundation here, and from the book of Ezekiel chapter 47,

15
00:01:57.760 --> 00:02:02.800
Ezekiel saw a river flowing out from the temple, from the house of God, and as he saw the river

16
00:02:02.800 --> 00:02:09.600
got deeper and deeper and deeper, it went from the ankle depth to the knee depth to the waist depth

17
00:02:09.600 --> 00:02:16.160
to a river that was so deep it went over the head, and so in the same way, what I'm seeking

18
00:02:16.160 --> 00:02:21.600
to do over this 30 days, is to take you into a deeper relationship, deeper relationship,

19
00:02:21.600 --> 00:02:28.000
deeper relationship with Jesus, okay, I'm seeking to gather you closer to Jesus, not to myself,

20
00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:34.960
but to Jesus, not to my ministry, but to Jesus, because out of that comes all, comes the

21
00:02:35.040 --> 00:02:41.600
issues of all, flows rivers of life. Jesus said out of your belly will flow rivers of living water.

22
00:02:42.240 --> 00:02:50.320
Okay, let me just start off with the testimony, and just about the power of God.

23
00:02:51.040 --> 00:02:55.520
Often I hear people say, when I'm sharing testimonies, excuse me,

24
00:02:56.160 --> 00:03:04.480
when I'm sharing testimonies about thousands being saved and miracles overseas,

25
00:03:04.480 --> 00:03:10.480
they often think, especially in New Zealand, oh yeah, that's sure pastor, but that's overseas,

26
00:03:10.480 --> 00:03:14.960
they've got more faith than us over there, and that, you know, we, but I want to share about

27
00:03:14.960 --> 00:03:21.120
miracles that happen overseas, happen just as much here. Jesus is the same yesterday, today, forever,

28
00:03:21.680 --> 00:03:28.720
yesterday, today, forever, he's the same in any nation, but the reason I see more miracles in

29
00:03:28.720 --> 00:03:38.560
the third world is because they have a greater, excuse me, they're more spiritually minded,

30
00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:46.480
whereas in the western world, we're educated, we come out of the academia, we sometimes, we are,

31
00:03:47.440 --> 00:03:51.360
don't take this wrong way, but sometimes we're intellectually handicapped, and we

32
00:03:51.360 --> 00:03:57.920
handicap ourselves intellectually, and knowing that faith is a spiritual response, it's not a

33
00:03:57.920 --> 00:04:04.800
mental response, it's a spiritual response, and many times, because if you've been raised by a

34
00:04:04.800 --> 00:04:10.400
teacher, then you'll be taught the mental, the academia, you need to be, we need to come into

35
00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:14.880
the ministries of apostles and prophets who are speaking, ministering spirit to spirit, not just

36
00:04:14.880 --> 00:04:21.440
the mental and academic, and so when I go to Australia, to third world, I can speak to

37
00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:29.040
idol worshipers, I do, I speak to idol worshipers, I speak to those who worship other gods, I speak

38
00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:36.400
to Muslims, Hindus, Communists, and I just share the very basic things about Jesus that he, and I

39
00:04:36.400 --> 00:04:46.320
share about Psalm 100, in my healing meetings, I share with them Psalms 103, verse 2 and 3,

40
00:04:46.320 --> 00:04:50.480
which is simply this, bless the Lord oh my soul and forget not all his benefits,

41
00:04:51.360 --> 00:04:54.160
he forgives all our iniquities and heals all our diseases,

42
00:04:55.200 --> 00:04:59.840
and so I teach them basically that when you ask Jesus, when you turn from

43
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:04.320
your sin, turn from your idols and turn to the one true God, Jesus Christ. Ask Him

44
00:05:04.320 --> 00:05:09.120
forgiveness of your sins, the cleansing away of your sins. That not only will He

45
00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:12.560
take your sins, because the next verse says He forgives all our iniquities and

46
00:05:12.560 --> 00:05:18.960
heals all our diseases. And I say, Jesus will take all your sin, all your

47
00:05:18.960 --> 00:05:24.480
curses, and all your diseases. That He'll take them when you ask Him. And you

48
00:05:24.480 --> 00:05:28.000
believe that, don't you? You believe that the moment you ask Jesus to take your

49
00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:32.320
sins, you repent and turn away from your sins, you ask Jesus to forgive you, you

50
00:05:32.320 --> 00:05:37.000
know the moment you ask, He took your sin. Amen? We have no doubt that He

51
00:05:37.000 --> 00:05:40.480
would take our sin if we asked Him to take our sin. And so what's the

52
00:05:40.480 --> 00:05:47.080
difference when we ask Him to take our sickness? Because it's the same thing.

53
00:05:47.080 --> 00:05:51.960
Jesus said to a crippled man that you might know, the Son of Man has power on

54
00:05:51.960 --> 00:05:57.440
earth to forgive sins. He said, pick your beard up. He wanted to see the forgiveness

55
00:05:57.440 --> 00:06:00.920
of sin also means the healing of the body. But you haven't been taught this.

56
00:06:00.920 --> 00:06:04.720
Well, the Western Church has been taught this. It's been taught by teachers and

57
00:06:04.720 --> 00:06:11.560
God bless them. But you haven't been taught this.

58
00:06:11.560 --> 00:06:18.320
And so I wasn't taught this. I learned this as I followed Jesus. That when

59
00:06:18.320 --> 00:06:23.120
He forgives sins, He heals disease. So in meetings I've said, when Jesus, I've told

60
00:06:23.120 --> 00:06:29.040
idol worshippers, Hindus, Muslims, communists, to ask Jesus to forgive them

61
00:06:29.040 --> 00:06:33.240
of their sins, to take their sin, their curses, and to take their diseases, and

62
00:06:33.240 --> 00:06:37.920
Jesus will do that. And so I lead them in a prayer, and I can be praying for

63
00:06:37.920 --> 00:06:43.400
thousands or hundreds or just a dozen or so. But as they say this prayer to Jesus,

64
00:06:43.400 --> 00:06:47.600
I'm pointing them to Jesus. I'm not pointing them to me. I'm pointing them to

65
00:06:47.600 --> 00:06:52.960
the truth of His Word, the truth of what He says. And as these dear people confess

66
00:06:52.960 --> 00:06:58.280
to God, repent of their idols, and ask Jesus to forgive them of their sins, to

67
00:06:58.280 --> 00:07:02.360
take away their sin, to take away their curses, to take away their diseases, as

68
00:07:02.360 --> 00:07:06.880
they ask Him this, I watch. I keep my eyes open when they're praying.

69
00:07:06.880 --> 00:07:11.560
And I see tears streaming down their faces of hundreds of people, thousands of

70
00:07:11.560 --> 00:07:17.040
people, just tears as the presence of God comes on them. And He literally is

71
00:07:17.040 --> 00:07:22.360
taking away their sin, taking away their curses, and taking away their diseases. So

72
00:07:22.360 --> 00:07:27.280
once I finish that prayer, I say to them, those of you who had pain, sickness in

73
00:07:27.280 --> 00:07:31.200
your body, if you were blind, you could not see, but now you can see. If you were

74
00:07:31.200 --> 00:07:35.020
deaf, you could not hear, but now you can hear. If you were crippled, you couldn't

75
00:07:35.020 --> 00:07:39.880
move, move, start exercising, do what you couldn't do before. And if you have been

76
00:07:39.880 --> 00:07:46.080
healed, come forward and testify for the glory of Jesus. Invariably, every time,

77
00:07:46.080 --> 00:07:51.800
it's just incredible, just people start coming up. And see, I haven't laid hands

78
00:07:51.840 --> 00:07:57.200
on anyone. I haven't prayed for healing. I've just got to connect them to Jesus.

79
00:07:57.200 --> 00:08:02.160
That's easy for me to say. Connected them to Jesus, and got them to ask, Jesus, take my

80
00:08:02.160 --> 00:08:07.160
sin. Jesus, take my curses. Jesus, take my disease. And that's all I've done. They

81
00:08:07.160 --> 00:08:11.880
haven't been to Bible school. They're not Christians. They've worshipped idols all

82
00:08:11.880 --> 00:08:16.840
their lives. They've worshipped demons all their lives. They don't have an academic,

83
00:08:16.840 --> 00:08:21.600
intellectual knowledge of the Bible. They don't challenge me, where's that in the

84
00:08:21.600 --> 00:08:25.720
Bible? What chapter? What verse? They don't have that religious spirit. They

85
00:08:25.720 --> 00:08:30.160
don't have anything. All they know, in that moment, is that I tell them what

86
00:08:30.160 --> 00:08:34.960
Jesus has done for them, and they connect to Jesus. And I have had blind people

87
00:08:34.960 --> 00:08:39.360
come up, and I haven't touched them. And they said, they're blind, but now they can

88
00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:45.480
see. Jesus took their blindness. He gave them sight. I've had cripples come

89
00:08:45.480 --> 00:08:50.280
up. I couldn't move when I came here. I was carried here, but now I can

90
00:08:50.320 --> 00:08:55.880
walk, because Jesus took their sickness. Jesus took our sin. Jesus took our curses.

91
00:08:55.880 --> 00:09:01.160
Jesus took our disease. He's the same yesterday, today, and forever. He's a

92
00:09:01.160 --> 00:09:07.040
mighty God. He's Jesus. And it's about pointing people to Jesus. And that's why

93
00:09:07.040 --> 00:09:11.320
I see so many more miracles happening in the third world, because they're not

94
00:09:11.320 --> 00:09:15.280
intellectually handicapped. They don't have the religious Christianese,

95
00:09:15.280 --> 00:09:21.240
this churchianity, fallback stuff, and this justification of why God won't heal

96
00:09:21.240 --> 00:09:25.360
you. The Christians in the West often have more reasons why God won't heal

97
00:09:25.360 --> 00:09:29.360
them, than why He will heal them. And according to their faith, it's under

98
00:09:29.360 --> 00:09:35.480
them. And so I'm teaching you that when Jesus forgives, He heals. It's

99
00:09:35.480 --> 00:09:39.440
synonymous. It's not separate. It's synonymous. Anyway, that's another

100
00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:43.320
teaching. We're not doing that today. We'll get around to that. So let me

101
00:09:43.320 --> 00:09:49.600
give you this testimony. This was about five, six years ago. And there was a lady

102
00:09:49.600 --> 00:09:54.800
in our church, and she's still in our church. And she said, asked me if I

103
00:09:54.800 --> 00:09:58.760
could go up and pray for her mother-in-law. And she was on

104
00:09:58.760 --> 00:10:02.120
terminal. She had pancreatic cancer.

105
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:05.000
cancer, and she was literally on a deathbed, all the whānau were gathering, they had,

106
00:10:05.000 --> 00:10:11.120
I think they'd arranged the funeral, and so there was no hope, the cancer had got all

107
00:10:11.120 --> 00:10:15.760
through her pancreas, and there was no hope for her, they couldn't cut it out because

108
00:10:15.760 --> 00:10:17.280
it was so deep in.

109
00:10:17.280 --> 00:10:24.560
So I went up, and it was a Sunday night, and I started talking to this dear lady, and she

110
00:10:24.560 --> 00:10:26.760
knew Jesus, that's the main thing.

111
00:10:26.760 --> 00:10:31.840
And she said, it's a shame, she said, I wanted to retire and do a bit of travel.

112
00:10:31.840 --> 00:10:36.240
I said, oh well, look, if it's your time to go, you're going to have the best holiday

113
00:10:36.240 --> 00:10:40.880
forever, of ever, and she thought that was funny.

114
00:10:40.880 --> 00:10:45.720
But she was in pain, she was hooked up to intravenous morphine, and she was on a scale

115
00:10:45.720 --> 00:10:48.320
of one to ten, she said her pain was about ten.

116
00:10:48.320 --> 00:10:55.200
Now she was a tough old bird, but there she was lying there, in pain, hooked up in intravenous

117
00:10:55.200 --> 00:11:02.680
morphine, and with pancreas cancer, incurable.

118
00:11:02.680 --> 00:11:08.480
She, I was also told she had lumps on her liver, I think it was, her lungs were filled

119
00:11:08.480 --> 00:11:14.280
with something, and there was other maladies with her as well, so she was in a bad way.

120
00:11:14.280 --> 00:11:22.200
And as I said, the family had gathered around, and they were expecting the worst.

121
00:11:22.200 --> 00:11:26.760
And so I said, I'll pray for you, so I laid hands on her, and I prayed for her, while

122
00:11:26.760 --> 00:11:30.760
she lay in a bed, I just touched her, and you know, I didn't feel a thing, I didn't

123
00:11:30.760 --> 00:11:36.840
feel anything happening when I prayed, not often, but from time to time I will feel the

124
00:11:36.840 --> 00:11:41.160
presence of God leave me, I'll feel power leave me, I'll feel something happening.

125
00:11:41.160 --> 00:11:44.200
But in this instance, I felt nothing happen, but she did.

126
00:11:44.200 --> 00:11:49.520
She told me this a couple of weeks later, but this is, so as I prayed for her, this

127
00:11:49.520 --> 00:11:50.520
is what happened to her.

128
00:11:51.520 --> 00:11:55.880
Like I said, I felt nothing, I had a karakia for her, karakia in Māori is prayer, so I

129
00:11:55.880 --> 00:12:01.160
had a karakia for her, and said goodbye, and walked out, okay?

130
00:12:01.160 --> 00:12:06.520
This is what, this is her story, maybe not exact words, but something like this.

131
00:12:06.520 --> 00:12:10.880
She said when I prayed for her, as she was lying on her bed, she'd been for weeks and

132
00:12:10.880 --> 00:12:16.040
weeks in pain, and the pain at that stage was about 10.

133
00:12:16.040 --> 00:12:21.520
She said the moment I prayed for her or touched her, she said the pain just went like that,

134
00:12:21.520 --> 00:12:23.520
the pain just went instantly.

135
00:12:23.520 --> 00:12:32.360
Excuse me, my mokopuna, hey baby, love you!

136
00:12:32.360 --> 00:12:36.400
My mokopuna is grandson, or grandchild, okay?

137
00:12:36.400 --> 00:12:43.040
So my moko just came and picked up some homemade hot cross buns that my ma, that my wife made.

138
00:12:44.040 --> 00:12:50.360
Yep, Jess has kind of awakened, but we so miss, you must feel like we just miss contact,

139
00:12:50.360 --> 00:12:54.640
we want to hug people, we want to hug our kids, we want to hug my grandkids, I want

140
00:12:54.640 --> 00:12:59.080
to kiss them.

141
00:12:59.080 --> 00:13:00.080
This is life.

142
00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:03.080
Aw, Rimi, eh babe?

143
00:13:03.080 --> 00:13:08.080
Aw, I gave him a wave.

144
00:13:08.120 --> 00:13:16.040
Anyway, so now, so you not might be used to this sort of teaching.

145
00:13:16.040 --> 00:13:18.080
We go with the flow, okay, we keep it real.

146
00:13:18.080 --> 00:13:21.600
This is whānau, this is family, family come first.

147
00:13:21.600 --> 00:13:25.920
I could be speaking to the, I don't know, great apostles around the world, but if one

148
00:13:25.920 --> 00:13:31.160
of my grandkids, one of my kids, or my wife needs to see me, that's it, taihou, everyone's

149
00:13:31.160 --> 00:13:35.800
on hold, my family, my household comes first, okay, that's the way it is, that's kingdom

150
00:13:35.800 --> 00:13:36.800
relationship.

151
00:13:37.800 --> 00:13:40.400
Anyway, where was I?

152
00:13:40.400 --> 00:13:46.640
So I prayed for this lady, and she said that the pain went instantly, just left, and then

153
00:13:46.640 --> 00:13:49.600
she said she felt, she started floating off the bed.

154
00:13:49.600 --> 00:13:53.520
She didn't really, but she said it felt like she was floating.

155
00:13:53.520 --> 00:13:58.640
And so she said, after I left, she said there's no pain, she feels like she's floating.

156
00:13:58.640 --> 00:14:03.960
She thought to herself, hmm, I think I'm healed, that's what she said to herself.

157
00:14:03.960 --> 00:14:07.400
And then she said, no, I'm healed.

158
00:14:07.400 --> 00:14:09.560
And she decided to have a shower.

159
00:14:09.560 --> 00:14:14.200
Now normally the nurses help her into the shower room.

160
00:14:14.200 --> 00:14:18.160
And so she unplugged herself, and she said to the nurses, I'm going to have a shower.

161
00:14:18.160 --> 00:14:19.160
So they went to help her.

162
00:14:19.160 --> 00:14:20.560
She said, I don't need help.

163
00:14:20.560 --> 00:14:25.160
And she literally got off the bed by herself, walked into the shower, showered, got out,

164
00:14:25.160 --> 00:14:26.160
incredible.

165
00:14:26.160 --> 00:14:32.520
I think it was a couple of days later, she was discharged from the hospital, no pain.

166
00:14:32.560 --> 00:14:37.000
And so that was Sunday I did that, I think it was a Thursday, that she had to fly over

167
00:14:37.000 --> 00:14:40.960
to Waikato for tests, for scans.

168
00:14:40.960 --> 00:14:48.880
And so they did tests and scans, because they already had x-rays and tests of all, of her

169
00:14:48.880 --> 00:14:49.880
condition.

170
00:14:49.880 --> 00:14:53.880
They could see the pancreas, they could see the cancer in it.

171
00:14:53.880 --> 00:14:54.880
So they'd already done that.

172
00:14:54.880 --> 00:14:59.560
They already had these tests, they already had these x-rays before prayer, before.

173
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:02.120
Oh, but Jesus.

174
00:15:02.120 --> 00:15:04.760
And then so she went over to Waikato,

175
00:15:04.760 --> 00:15:08.680
got new tests done, had a biopsy done,

176
00:15:08.680 --> 00:15:11.880
and got new x-rays, came back.

177
00:15:11.880 --> 00:15:15.840
And on the Friday, and her son was sitting with her,

178
00:15:15.840 --> 00:15:20.720
talked to her son, and he said that when they went in,

179
00:15:20.720 --> 00:15:23.440
there was a surgeon, the palliative care,

180
00:15:23.440 --> 00:15:26.040
the anaesthetist, the nurses,

181
00:15:26.040 --> 00:15:27.720
and they were just standing there,

182
00:15:27.760 --> 00:15:30.080
and the surgeon's sitting at the desk

183
00:15:30.080 --> 00:15:32.560
looking at lots of papers or some papers,

184
00:15:32.560 --> 00:15:33.800
and he's shaking his head.

185
00:15:33.800 --> 00:15:36.040
He looked up at her and he said to her, how are you?

186
00:15:36.040 --> 00:15:37.600
She said, oh, I'm fine, I'm good.

187
00:15:37.600 --> 00:15:39.280
He said, oh, that's good.

188
00:15:39.280 --> 00:15:43.520
And he keeps looking down, and he said,

189
00:15:44.640 --> 00:15:47.400
he says, we don't understand what's happened here.

190
00:15:47.400 --> 00:15:49.720
There's the tests from the biopsy,

191
00:15:49.720 --> 00:15:51.640
and they come back and they show that you have

192
00:15:51.640 --> 00:15:54.760
no trace of cancer in your body anymore.

193
00:15:54.760 --> 00:15:56.240
And he's shaking his head apparently.

194
00:15:56.280 --> 00:15:59.160
And here's the other tests of the x-ray,

195
00:15:59.160 --> 00:16:03.000
and the old x-ray showed cancer all through your pancreas,

196
00:16:03.000 --> 00:16:07.680
but this new x-ray shows like the cancer has exploded,

197
00:16:07.680 --> 00:16:09.080
and there's just little lumps left,

198
00:16:09.080 --> 00:16:10.720
and it's like disappearing.

199
00:16:10.720 --> 00:16:12.920
So we have no idea what's happening, and she laughed.

200
00:16:12.920 --> 00:16:15.000
I said, oh, it's karakia, it's karakia.

201
00:16:15.000 --> 00:16:16.480
She means it was prayer.

202
00:16:16.480 --> 00:16:18.160
And apparently he said something like,

203
00:16:18.160 --> 00:16:19.720
well, it wasn't our medicine.

204
00:16:19.720 --> 00:16:23.760
And she was completely healed from pancreas cancer,

205
00:16:23.800 --> 00:16:27.800
from the lungs being blocked up,

206
00:16:27.800 --> 00:16:29.320
from the spots on her liver,

207
00:16:29.320 --> 00:16:32.840
completely, completely, 100% healed.

208
00:16:33.960 --> 00:16:35.720
This is in New Zealand, this is in Gizi.

209
00:16:35.720 --> 00:16:37.320
This is in G-town, bro.

210
00:16:37.320 --> 00:16:38.640
This is in Gizi town.

211
00:16:38.640 --> 00:16:42.080
It's not in Pakistan, it's not in India,

212
00:16:42.080 --> 00:16:44.840
it's not in Chile, it's here in India.

213
00:16:44.840 --> 00:16:46.680
And if you can learn to release the power of God

214
00:16:46.680 --> 00:16:48.920
in your hometown, when you go to other towns,

215
00:16:48.920 --> 00:16:50.560
when you go to other nations,

216
00:16:50.560 --> 00:16:53.320
you usually see a hundredfold, a hundredfold.

217
00:16:53.320 --> 00:16:54.920
See the dead come back to life.

218
00:16:56.800 --> 00:16:58.400
And so the story continues.

219
00:16:58.400 --> 00:17:02.640
This lady, she, okay, so I think it was a year

220
00:17:02.640 --> 00:17:06.319
or two years later, one of her deaf friends,

221
00:17:06.319 --> 00:17:11.319
he had a heart attack, and it was so severe,

222
00:17:11.680 --> 00:17:13.319
they didn't expect him to live.

223
00:17:13.319 --> 00:17:15.240
And the fact they had to medivac him out,

224
00:17:15.240 --> 00:17:17.640
they had to send a helicopter to medivac him out

225
00:17:17.640 --> 00:17:19.240
and bring him up to the hospital.

226
00:17:19.240 --> 00:17:21.520
I think he was living down in Mahia at the time.

227
00:17:21.520 --> 00:17:23.560
So they flew him up to hospital,

228
00:17:23.560 --> 00:17:27.240
put him into the ICU and had him hooked up.

229
00:17:27.240 --> 00:17:31.280
And so this dear lady that had healed of pancreas cancer,

230
00:17:31.280 --> 00:17:33.560
she said, would you go and pray for my friend?

231
00:17:33.560 --> 00:17:36.560
Maybe Jesus will do the same miracle for him.

232
00:17:36.560 --> 00:17:39.480
So I went up to the same hospital

233
00:17:39.480 --> 00:17:42.800
and praise God, Jesus always comes with me.

234
00:17:42.800 --> 00:17:46.440
He, Dr. Jesus always accompanies me into the hospital.

235
00:17:46.440 --> 00:17:49.520
We do our rounds and anyway, so there he is,

236
00:17:49.520 --> 00:17:50.560
he's hooked up.

237
00:17:50.640 --> 00:17:52.320
Before I went in, I met his family

238
00:17:52.320 --> 00:17:54.040
and the family said tomorrow morning,

239
00:17:54.040 --> 00:17:56.400
I think it was tomorrow morning,

240
00:17:56.400 --> 00:17:58.400
if there's no improvement,

241
00:17:58.400 --> 00:18:01.120
they're gonna turn the life support off.

242
00:18:01.120 --> 00:18:02.880
And so if he lives, he lives,

243
00:18:02.880 --> 00:18:04.000
but if he doesn't, he doesn't.

244
00:18:04.000 --> 00:18:07.320
And so they had come to that decision themselves.

245
00:18:07.320 --> 00:18:11.320
And so that was the situation.

246
00:18:11.320 --> 00:18:16.160
So I went in the day before or the night before

247
00:18:16.160 --> 00:18:18.040
and prayed over this man.

248
00:18:18.080 --> 00:18:20.880
He never regained consciousness while I was there.

249
00:18:20.880 --> 00:18:23.200
And I just took hold of his feet and prayed.

250
00:18:23.200 --> 00:18:25.240
I felt some heat moving through me.

251
00:18:25.240 --> 00:18:27.240
And then I left.

252
00:18:27.240 --> 00:18:29.680
And so the next morning,

253
00:18:29.680 --> 00:18:32.800
I found this about a day later, two days later,

254
00:18:32.800 --> 00:18:37.800
and the word got back, he's fine, he's well.

255
00:18:38.280 --> 00:18:41.840
And I think they said that they turned the life support off

256
00:18:41.840 --> 00:18:44.680
and he kept breathing on his own.

257
00:18:44.680 --> 00:18:48.400
And I think within one week, he was out of the hospital.

258
00:18:48.400 --> 00:18:51.200
And as far as I know, he's alive and well today.

259
00:18:51.200 --> 00:18:52.040
Praise God.

260
00:18:52.040 --> 00:18:53.000
These are miracles that happened

261
00:18:53.000 --> 00:18:54.840
in our backyard in our nation.

262
00:18:54.840 --> 00:18:56.360
Now, this dear, beautiful woman

263
00:18:56.360 --> 00:18:58.800
who was ill with pancreas cancer,

264
00:18:58.800 --> 00:19:01.880
she just passed away just a few weeks ago

265
00:19:01.880 --> 00:19:02.960
to be with the Lord.

266
00:19:02.960 --> 00:19:04.800
But God extended her life.

267
00:19:04.800 --> 00:19:07.240
He extended her quality of life.

268
00:19:07.240 --> 00:19:09.120
And you say, oh, I thought she got healed.

269
00:19:09.120 --> 00:19:09.960
Well, she did.

270
00:19:09.960 --> 00:19:11.560
She's completely healed now.

271
00:19:11.560 --> 00:19:14.520
You gotta understand that healing for our physical body

272
00:19:15.360 --> 00:19:16.200
is only for a time.

273
00:19:16.200 --> 00:19:19.360
Because we were not created to live forever in this world.

274
00:19:19.360 --> 00:19:23.320
We're created to fulfill our destiny, our assignment,

275
00:19:23.320 --> 00:19:24.400
and then we go home.

276
00:19:25.640 --> 00:19:27.840
Humans have funny perspective of life.

277
00:19:27.840 --> 00:19:30.840
We think that life is about having a long life.

278
00:19:30.840 --> 00:19:32.400
And that's kapai, that's good,

279
00:19:32.400 --> 00:19:35.000
if that's the plan of God for us.

280
00:19:35.000 --> 00:19:36.680
But Jesus only had 30 years.

281
00:19:36.680 --> 00:19:38.320
John the Baptist only had 30 years.

282
00:19:38.320 --> 00:19:39.840
Well, Jesus had 33 years.

283
00:19:39.840 --> 00:19:42.960
It's not about the length of time you spend on the earth.

284
00:19:43.000 --> 00:19:46.080
It's about fulfilling your destiny and the assignment

285
00:19:46.080 --> 00:19:48.360
and the calling of God upon your life

286
00:19:48.360 --> 00:19:50.520
for this season on the earth.

287
00:19:50.520 --> 00:19:52.040
Earth is just training ground.

288
00:19:52.040 --> 00:19:53.720
We're in training for raining.

289
00:19:54.840 --> 00:19:56.000
Don't you know Paul said,

290
00:19:56.000 --> 00:19:59.040
one day the saints will judge angels.

291
00:19:59.040 --> 00:20:00.080
He says, are you not?

292
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:01.600
worthy to judge yourselves.

293
00:20:01.600 --> 00:20:04.680
Don't you know that one day you will judge nations?

294
00:20:05.600 --> 00:20:07.000
We're in training for reigning now.

295
00:20:07.000 --> 00:20:10.040
If we can't learn how to reign in life in this world,

296
00:20:10.040 --> 00:20:11.560
we can't learn to rule over.

297
00:20:11.560 --> 00:20:14.760
So how do you train for reigning?

298
00:20:14.760 --> 00:20:16.480
Learn to rule over your own life.

299
00:20:16.480 --> 00:20:18.480
Learn to let the Spirit of God rule.

300
00:20:18.480 --> 00:20:20.120
Learn to let Jesus be Lord.

301
00:20:20.120 --> 00:20:21.280
And that's what I've had to do.

302
00:20:21.280 --> 00:20:23.560
Learn to let Jesus rule in my life.

303
00:20:23.560 --> 00:20:24.920
Rule over my selfishness.

304
00:20:24.920 --> 00:20:26.920
Rule over negativity.

305
00:20:26.920 --> 00:20:28.200
Rule over unbelief.

306
00:20:28.200 --> 00:20:29.480
Rule over the flesh.

307
00:20:29.480 --> 00:20:32.600
Allowing Jesus to rule first in my personal life

308
00:20:32.600 --> 00:20:35.960
and then learning how to let Him rule through my life.

309
00:20:35.960 --> 00:20:38.160
Anyway, that's testimony this morning.

310
00:20:38.160 --> 00:20:40.480
I'm gonna pray for you shortly for healing.

311
00:20:40.480 --> 00:20:42.280
I'm gonna blow this musical instrument

312
00:20:42.280 --> 00:20:44.200
that's called a kawowo in Maori,

313
00:20:44.200 --> 00:20:45.560
and I'll explain what that is later,

314
00:20:45.560 --> 00:20:46.400
and I'll blow it,

315
00:20:46.400 --> 00:20:48.560
and the sound's gonna come upon you.

316
00:20:48.560 --> 00:20:50.080
The sound's gonna come in your house.

317
00:20:50.080 --> 00:20:52.040
The sound's gonna vibrate through your body.

318
00:20:52.040 --> 00:20:53.120
And it's the, like I said,

319
00:20:53.120 --> 00:20:55.680
it's the breath of God coming through this instrument.

320
00:20:55.680 --> 00:20:58.480
And so I'm gonna release the presence of God,

321
00:20:58.480 --> 00:20:59.760
the breath of God through you,

322
00:20:59.760 --> 00:21:01.400
through this musical instrument.

323
00:21:03.360 --> 00:21:04.320
Lesson today.

324
00:21:06.680 --> 00:21:11.040
The lesson today, whānau, day 14.

325
00:21:11.040 --> 00:21:12.880
Day 13, is it?

326
00:21:12.880 --> 00:21:13.720
Yeah, day 13.

327
00:21:15.160 --> 00:21:16.000
I don't know.

328
00:21:16.000 --> 00:21:16.840
Who cares?

329
00:21:16.840 --> 00:21:17.680
It's a day.

330
00:21:17.680 --> 00:21:18.720
It's a day the Lord has made.

331
00:21:20.280 --> 00:21:21.520
Hallelujah.

332
00:21:21.520 --> 00:21:23.000
I'm taking you on a journey.

333
00:21:24.000 --> 00:21:27.880
And the first part of the journey is foundations.

334
00:21:27.880 --> 00:21:30.920
The first part of the journey is relationship with Jesus.

335
00:21:33.120 --> 00:21:35.640
Most Christians want to know their gift.

336
00:21:35.640 --> 00:21:36.960
They wanna know their ministry.

337
00:21:36.960 --> 00:21:39.320
They wanna know their destiny, their calling.

338
00:21:39.320 --> 00:21:40.160
And that's wonderful.

339
00:21:40.160 --> 00:21:41.600
That's okay to want to know.

340
00:21:41.600 --> 00:21:44.080
That's a God desire within you.

341
00:21:44.080 --> 00:21:47.000
God wants you to know why you were created.

342
00:21:47.000 --> 00:21:50.960
Ephesians 2.10 says that we are God's workmanship,

343
00:21:51.600 --> 00:21:54.080
created to do good works in Christ Jesus,

344
00:21:54.080 --> 00:21:57.320
created to do good works in Christ Jesus

345
00:21:57.320 --> 00:22:00.000
before the foundation of the world.

346
00:22:00.000 --> 00:22:03.080
And so God has created you

347
00:22:03.080 --> 00:22:05.280
to fulfill an assignment on the earth.

348
00:22:05.280 --> 00:22:06.640
There are works that you have to do,

349
00:22:06.640 --> 00:22:08.360
not work, but works.

350
00:22:08.360 --> 00:22:09.200
Well, there's a work.

351
00:22:09.200 --> 00:22:10.160
There's an assignment.

352
00:22:10.160 --> 00:22:12.400
But under the assignment of God on your life,

353
00:22:12.400 --> 00:22:15.600
there will be thousands and thousands of mini assignments.

354
00:22:16.640 --> 00:22:19.680
Jesus' assignment was to die on the cross for our sins.

355
00:22:20.640 --> 00:22:23.720
But there are here thousands of other mini assignments.

356
00:22:23.720 --> 00:22:26.040
His assignment was to go to the woman

357
00:22:26.040 --> 00:22:30.120
who was 18 years crippled by Satan.

358
00:22:30.120 --> 00:22:32.040
And he cast that demon out and he says,

359
00:22:32.040 --> 00:22:33.880
"'Ought not this daughter of Abraham,

360
00:22:33.880 --> 00:22:36.960
"'whom Satan has bound these 18 years, be free?'

361
00:22:36.960 --> 00:22:38.520
Okay, that was one of his assignments.

362
00:22:38.520 --> 00:22:40.760
His assignment was to walk on the water.

363
00:22:40.760 --> 00:22:45.760
His assignment was to feed 5,000 with loaves and fishes.

364
00:22:46.760 --> 00:22:51.720
His assignment was to raise Lazarus from the dead.

365
00:22:51.720 --> 00:22:53.920
His assignment was to heal the sick.

366
00:22:53.920 --> 00:22:58.920
His assignment was to preach on the Mount of Olives.

367
00:23:00.040 --> 00:23:02.680
His assignment was one assignment

368
00:23:02.680 --> 00:23:04.400
to die for the sin of the world,

369
00:23:04.400 --> 00:23:06.200
to destroy the works of the devil.

370
00:23:06.200 --> 00:23:08.400
That was the major, one big assignment.

371
00:23:08.400 --> 00:23:10.320
But that big assignment was fulfilled

372
00:23:10.320 --> 00:23:12.840
with thousands of mini assignments.

373
00:23:12.880 --> 00:23:14.720
And his calling was fulfilled

374
00:23:14.720 --> 00:23:18.160
by thousands of little callings, okay?

375
00:23:18.160 --> 00:23:23.160
So don't be looking, don't get sort of hung up

376
00:23:23.240 --> 00:23:24.800
on what's my calling?

377
00:23:24.800 --> 00:23:26.200
What's my assignment?

378
00:23:26.200 --> 00:23:28.440
What does God call me to do?

379
00:23:28.440 --> 00:23:31.840
It's not, it's one general at the end of the days.

380
00:23:31.840 --> 00:23:33.400
At the end of days, you'll understand,

381
00:23:33.400 --> 00:23:35.240
ah, this is why I was born.

382
00:23:35.240 --> 00:23:38.160
But you'll find that that assignment you were created for

383
00:23:38.160 --> 00:23:41.080
is made up of thousands of assignments.

384
00:23:41.120 --> 00:23:42.680
And the reason why a lot of Christians

385
00:23:42.680 --> 00:23:46.880
never discover or identify their assignment

386
00:23:46.880 --> 00:23:50.400
is because they can't see the trees for the forest,

387
00:23:50.400 --> 00:23:53.480
that they're looking for some big sign in the sky,

388
00:23:53.480 --> 00:23:56.720
this is your calling.

389
00:23:56.720 --> 00:24:00.520
Instead of just being faithful in the little,

390
00:24:00.520 --> 00:24:04.440
they're trying to look for the big, for the great.

391
00:24:04.440 --> 00:24:07.000
And you just got to learn to be faithful

392
00:24:07.000 --> 00:24:08.600
in the little things.

393
00:24:08.640 --> 00:24:11.200
See, my first assignment is not to be an apostle,

394
00:24:11.200 --> 00:24:12.280
wasn't to be an apostle.

395
00:24:12.280 --> 00:24:13.680
I didn't know I was an apostle.

396
00:24:13.680 --> 00:24:15.760
I didn't know I was an apostle called to the nations.

397
00:24:15.760 --> 00:24:19.040
I didn't know I was an apostle to move in signs and wonders

398
00:24:19.040 --> 00:24:21.040
and to bring breakthrough around the world.

399
00:24:21.040 --> 00:24:22.640
I didn't know that.

400
00:24:22.640 --> 00:24:24.720
All I knew when I met Jesus,

401
00:24:24.720 --> 00:24:26.600
that now I need to stop swearing.

402
00:24:27.880 --> 00:24:30.520
I need to stop thinking lustful thoughts.

403
00:24:30.520 --> 00:24:35.240
I need to stop being unkind, being unkind.

404
00:24:35.240 --> 00:24:37.920
I need to stop being unkind to my wife.

405
00:24:37.920 --> 00:24:39.200
I need to be a better man.

406
00:24:39.200 --> 00:24:40.640
I need to be a better husband.

407
00:24:40.640 --> 00:24:44.440
I first need to be a better child of God, son of God.

408
00:24:44.440 --> 00:24:46.240
I need to be a better son to God.

409
00:24:46.240 --> 00:24:50.600
And I need to deal with some of this crap in my life.

410
00:24:50.600 --> 00:24:55.160
And so my first assignment, I love God, I fear you.

411
00:24:55.160 --> 00:24:58.160
And I'm going to serve you out of my love for you,

412
00:24:58.160 --> 00:25:00.160
not because I have to.

413
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:02.040
I'm not trying to get your love.

414
00:25:02.040 --> 00:25:04.680
I know you love me, and so I want to change

415
00:25:04.680 --> 00:25:07.520
because you change me, I want to change.

416
00:25:07.520 --> 00:25:08.800
The reason I followed Jesus,

417
00:25:08.800 --> 00:25:11.080
I'm not trying to get his acceptance.

418
00:25:11.080 --> 00:25:16.080
I already got it, but I had to get his,

419
00:25:16.720 --> 00:25:19.280
I had to know who I was.

420
00:25:19.280 --> 00:25:22.040
I had to know my identity, my sense of,

421
00:25:22.040 --> 00:25:24.640
I had to know my significance in him.

422
00:25:24.640 --> 00:25:27.780
And when I discovered my significance in Jesus,

423
00:25:27.780 --> 00:25:29.820
when I discovered how much he loved me,

424
00:25:29.880 --> 00:25:31.400
when I discovered that he loved me

425
00:25:31.400 --> 00:25:33.440
when I was a sinner up to my neck in sin,

426
00:25:33.440 --> 00:25:35.320
he still loved me.

427
00:25:35.320 --> 00:25:38.120
That it gave me peace that even if I stuff up,

428
00:25:38.120 --> 00:25:39.760
he's still gonna love me.

429
00:25:39.760 --> 00:25:41.600
And I don't have to try and go out

430
00:25:41.600 --> 00:25:44.480
and do all these good deeds to make him love me.

431
00:25:44.480 --> 00:25:46.480
I don't have to be like Martha in the kitchen

432
00:25:46.480 --> 00:25:48.440
trying to cook him an apple pie

433
00:25:48.440 --> 00:25:50.960
because I want the sense of achievement,

434
00:25:50.960 --> 00:25:53.280
he might make him love me.

435
00:25:53.280 --> 00:25:54.920
No, no, no, I was like Mary.

436
00:25:54.920 --> 00:25:56.880
I had a sense of significance

437
00:25:56.880 --> 00:25:59.320
that was far greater than the sense of achievement

438
00:25:59.340 --> 00:26:00.860
of doing things for God.

439
00:26:00.860 --> 00:26:03.500
I had the sense of significance that he'd love me

440
00:26:03.500 --> 00:26:06.060
and I just wanna be in his presence.

441
00:26:06.060 --> 00:26:07.940
And out of the sense of significance,

442
00:26:07.940 --> 00:26:11.100
out of the sense of knowing that he loves me,

443
00:26:11.100 --> 00:26:14.140
I thought I will serve, I'll make him an apple pie.

444
00:26:14.140 --> 00:26:15.480
See, see,

445
00:26:17.460 --> 00:26:18.300
this,

446
00:26:21.500 --> 00:26:23.020
Jeremiah 1.5,

447
00:26:24.900 --> 00:26:25.940
God said to the prophet,

448
00:26:25.940 --> 00:26:27.880
before you were born, I knew you.

449
00:26:28.740 --> 00:26:30.300
Before you came out of your mother's womb,

450
00:26:30.300 --> 00:26:34.540
I had ordained you as a prophet to the nations, okay?

451
00:26:34.540 --> 00:26:36.620
So one is about identity

452
00:26:36.620 --> 00:26:38.980
and the other thing is about destiny.

453
00:26:38.980 --> 00:26:40.620
Identity and destiny.

454
00:26:40.620 --> 00:26:43.020
And the first thing is to know your identity.

455
00:26:43.860 --> 00:26:46.260
Second thing is to know your destiny.

456
00:26:46.260 --> 00:26:48.540
And many Christians are trying to find their destiny

457
00:26:48.540 --> 00:26:53.100
instead and they haven't even discovered their identity.

458
00:26:53.100 --> 00:26:55.300
You gotta know your identity.

459
00:26:55.300 --> 00:26:56.660
You gotta know who you are.

460
00:26:57.640 --> 00:27:00.080
Jesus said to Peter, who do men say I am?

461
00:27:00.960 --> 00:27:04.360
And he said, oh, some say this and some say that.

462
00:27:04.360 --> 00:27:07.120
And Jesus says, yeah, but who do you say I am?

463
00:27:07.120 --> 00:27:08.760
And you gotta know who Jesus is.

464
00:27:08.760 --> 00:27:10.920
You gotta know who he is

465
00:27:10.920 --> 00:27:13.560
and you gotta know who you are in him.

466
00:27:13.560 --> 00:27:14.760
You gotta know who you are.

467
00:27:14.760 --> 00:27:17.440
You gotta know you are so beloved.

468
00:27:17.440 --> 00:27:21.240
I know I'm his beloved son in whom he's well pleased.

469
00:27:21.240 --> 00:27:23.400
I'm not the only one, only son.

470
00:27:23.400 --> 00:27:25.400
I'm one of them, but I know personally,

471
00:27:25.500 --> 00:27:27.460
I know I'm my father's beloved son

472
00:27:27.460 --> 00:27:29.340
in whom he's well pleased.

473
00:27:29.340 --> 00:27:30.820
And he loves me.

474
00:27:30.820 --> 00:27:33.540
He loves me and he doesn't love me because I serve him.

475
00:27:33.540 --> 00:27:36.100
He doesn't love me because I'm pouring out my life

476
00:27:36.100 --> 00:27:37.780
to my nation and to the body of prayer.

477
00:27:37.780 --> 00:27:39.700
He doesn't love me because I could stop doing this.

478
00:27:39.700 --> 00:27:41.820
I know he will always, he will still love me.

479
00:27:41.820 --> 00:27:43.580
I'm not doing this because I have to.

480
00:27:43.580 --> 00:27:47.020
I do this, number one, because I love him and he loves me.

481
00:27:47.020 --> 00:27:50.020
And I operate out of a love relationship,

482
00:27:50.020 --> 00:27:52.260
not out of a working relationship.

483
00:27:52.260 --> 00:27:54.300
I operate out of a love relationship.

484
00:27:54.320 --> 00:27:57.200
That's how Jesus operated with the father.

485
00:27:57.200 --> 00:27:59.160
He said, I only do the things that I see him do.

486
00:27:59.160 --> 00:28:01.040
I only say what I hear him say.

487
00:28:01.040 --> 00:28:03.080
That Jesus wasn't forced to do what he did.

488
00:28:03.080 --> 00:28:05.520
He did it out of his love for his father.

489
00:28:05.520 --> 00:28:09.200
And his love flowed out to humanity because of his love.

490
00:28:09.200 --> 00:28:13.080
And many believers don't operate out of this sense

491
00:28:13.080 --> 00:28:15.520
of love relationship with God, with Jesus.

492
00:28:15.520 --> 00:28:16.960
They don't operate out of this,

493
00:28:16.960 --> 00:28:18.840
they don't have a sense of significance

494
00:28:18.840 --> 00:28:20.960
in who they are in his presence.

495
00:28:20.960 --> 00:28:23.040
And they try to find a sense of significance

496
00:28:23.040 --> 00:28:26.620
by doing things for God and achieving things for God.

497
00:28:26.620 --> 00:28:29.920
And the sense of achievement is not the same

498
00:28:29.920 --> 00:28:31.540
as a sense of significance.

499
00:28:31.540 --> 00:28:35.300
The sense of significance is about who you are.

500
00:28:35.300 --> 00:28:37.740
The sense of achievement is about what you do.

501
00:28:38.700 --> 00:28:42.220
Now, what you do will never make you feel significant.

502
00:28:43.820 --> 00:28:46.500
You might feel that you have a sense of achievement,

503
00:28:46.500 --> 00:28:50.140
but how many movie stars and famous people,

504
00:28:50.140 --> 00:28:52.420
wealthy people have taken their own lives

505
00:28:52.480 --> 00:28:54.800
and they've achieved so much in this world,

506
00:28:54.800 --> 00:28:58.600
but they're empty because there's no sense of significance.

507
00:28:58.600 --> 00:28:59.880
It doesn't matter how much you achieve,

508
00:28:59.880 --> 00:29:02.520
how much money you make, how many good deeds you do,

509
00:29:02.520 --> 00:29:04.240
you're never gonna feel significant

510
00:29:05.160 --> 00:29:08.000
because what you do is not who you are.

511
00:29:08.000 --> 00:29:11.320
What you do is not who you are, it's what you do.

512
00:29:11.320 --> 00:29:12.800
But to know who you are,

513
00:29:12.800 --> 00:29:15.760
to know that you're greatly beloved of God,

514
00:29:15.760 --> 00:29:17.800
to know that he created you

515
00:29:17.800 --> 00:29:21.280
and that before you were born, he knew you, man.

516
00:29:21.300 --> 00:29:23.340
Okay, so before you were born, he said to Jeremiah,

517
00:29:23.340 --> 00:29:24.820
I knew you.

518
00:29:24.820 --> 00:29:26.860
Before you came out of your mother's womb,

519
00:29:26.860 --> 00:29:28.740
I ordained you as a prophet to the nation.

520
00:29:28.740 --> 00:29:31.140
So what he's saying there, what God is saying there,

521
00:29:31.140 --> 00:29:33.340
before you were born, I knew you.

522
00:29:33.340 --> 00:29:36.860
I knew you means that's identity, identity.

523
00:29:36.860 --> 00:29:38.660
And then the next step is destiny.

524
00:29:38.660 --> 00:29:40.500
He says, before you came out of your mother's womb,

525
00:29:40.500 --> 00:29:42.780
I ordained you as a prophet to the nations.

526
00:29:42.780 --> 00:29:44.340
That's destiny.

527
00:29:44.340 --> 00:29:46.820
So his destiny was a prophet to the nation,

528
00:29:46.820 --> 00:29:51.060
but his identity was, I knew you, you're my boy.

529
00:29:51.960 --> 00:29:55.080
And so this is the teaching this morning, whānau,

530
00:29:55.080 --> 00:30:00.080
that true, that to obey God,

531
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:04.960
at a relationship. My ministry comes out of a relationship with Jesus. All the

532
00:30:04.960 --> 00:30:08.960
ministry, the miracles I see in people's lives, that comes out of a relationship

533
00:30:08.960 --> 00:30:13.600
with Jesus. My relationship with Jesus. Not yours, not someone else. It's my

534
00:30:13.600 --> 00:30:18.200
relationship and it's my responsibility to develop that relationship with Jesus.

535
00:30:18.200 --> 00:30:25.640
And you say, how do you do that? Well, I'll teach it down the track. I'm

536
00:30:25.640 --> 00:30:32.040
taking on a journey. Okay, taking on a journey. Thank you Jesus. I give you

537
00:30:32.040 --> 00:30:38.160
praise. So how's your relationship with Jesus? Are you trying to find your

538
00:30:38.160 --> 00:30:42.640
destiny? Are you focused on what's my calling? What's my destiny? What's my

539
00:30:42.640 --> 00:30:49.840
assignment? Hey, forget all that and just be faithful today. Just fulfill

540
00:30:49.840 --> 00:30:55.520
today's assignment. What do you think Jesus wants you to do today? Okay, if

541
00:30:55.520 --> 00:31:00.160
you're a husband, a wife, a mother, a father, and you're kids, well for me back

542
00:31:00.160 --> 00:31:04.400
then, my assignment, to be the best dad I could be, it was to be the

543
00:31:04.400 --> 00:31:08.120
best husband I could be. I just focused on those things. I get the chores done

544
00:31:08.120 --> 00:31:12.200
around the house. I mean, there's not much we can do at the moment. But I would do

545
00:31:12.200 --> 00:31:17.280
things for God and my love for God. I would spend time with God because I love

546
00:31:17.280 --> 00:31:21.200
Him. So I'd be with my Bible and I'd be talking to Him. I'd be walking around the

547
00:31:21.200 --> 00:31:24.920
paddocks, yapping away to God. And I learned how to hear the voice of God. I

548
00:31:24.920 --> 00:31:29.080
learned how I bring praise to Him. I didn't know how to pray. I just talked to God.

549
00:31:29.080 --> 00:31:32.920
And that's all I do today. My prayer is just having a call at all,

550
00:31:32.920 --> 00:31:38.400
having a talk, just talking. And there's some big religious, oh dear Father, I

551
00:31:38.400 --> 00:31:44.080
beseech you that thou wouldst hear me today. I thy child bring great

552
00:31:44.080 --> 00:31:48.680
grace and bring love to you. Now who talks like that? Who talks like that? No one talks like

553
00:31:48.680 --> 00:31:52.720
that. It's just talking to God from your heart. He already knows you before. He

554
00:31:52.720 --> 00:31:56.100
knows what you're gonna say before you speak it. So it's about relation. Develop

555
00:31:56.100 --> 00:32:01.800
a relationship with Jesus. Spend time in His presence. And the world's

556
00:32:01.800 --> 00:32:06.280
on hold. He's pressed the reset button so that His people will start spending time

557
00:32:06.280 --> 00:32:11.000
with Him. That people will sit at His feet like Mary. Get out of the kitchen.

558
00:32:11.040 --> 00:32:15.960
Stop trying to achieve something for God. Stop trying to bake Jesus an apple

559
00:32:15.960 --> 00:32:21.440
cake or an apple pie. And Martha out there, and there's a time to make Jesus

560
00:32:21.440 --> 00:32:25.280
a cake. There's a time to achieve. These are the good works we were created for

561
00:32:25.280 --> 00:32:30.480
in Christ Jesus before the foundation of the world. But we've got to make

562
00:32:30.480 --> 00:32:34.960
sure that we're doing these works based out of a relationship, out of a love

563
00:32:35.000 --> 00:32:41.680
relationship with Jesus. Not out of a works relationship with Jesus. Trying to

564
00:32:41.680 --> 00:32:47.720
do all these good works because we don't know that He already

565
00:32:47.720 --> 00:32:52.440
loves us. That we're not doing these good works to try and get His

566
00:32:52.440 --> 00:32:55.840
love. We're doing these good works because He already loves us. Our

567
00:32:55.840 --> 00:33:00.440
motivation to serve is out of knowing His love for us. We carry

568
00:33:00.440 --> 00:33:04.840
a sense of significance. And that's why we go out and do these things

569
00:33:04.840 --> 00:33:09.160
for Jesus. And we achieve. So be faithful in just being a fulfiller of your first

570
00:33:09.160 --> 00:33:14.000
assignment. Be the best man, woman you can be to God today. Be the best

571
00:33:14.000 --> 00:33:19.440
son or daughter to Jesus. Be the best. What does that mean? Well, have you talked

572
00:33:19.440 --> 00:33:25.360
to Him today? Have you talked to Him? Okay, you might have prayed to Him

573
00:33:25.360 --> 00:33:30.680
today. And that's good. We should bring our prayers, our requests, our

574
00:33:30.720 --> 00:33:35.720
supplications, our declarations. We should sing to Him, worship Him. That's all good.

575
00:33:35.720 --> 00:33:41.320
I call it bringing the shopping list to God. But you know, relationship is about

576
00:33:41.320 --> 00:33:47.560
having a communication. And if all I do is tell Jess what I want, what food I

577
00:33:47.560 --> 00:33:53.160
want, I'm just giving a list of supplications, prayers, and requests.

578
00:33:53.160 --> 00:33:58.160
That's not relationship. That's just a... That's not even a

579
00:33:58.160 --> 00:34:03.200
working relationship. Okay? And so we can come to God and give Him prayers, requests,

580
00:34:03.200 --> 00:34:07.200
and supplications. That's not relationship. That's just giving God your

581
00:34:07.200 --> 00:34:10.960
shopping list. There comes a time you need to get all that done and put it

582
00:34:10.960 --> 00:34:17.360
aside and be still. And know that He is God. And just begin to adore Him. Just

583
00:34:17.360 --> 00:34:22.280
begin to let your spirit adore Him. No words sometimes. Just be still and know.

584
00:34:22.280 --> 00:34:27.679
And just let your affection rise to God. Just think of how great He is.

585
00:34:27.679 --> 00:34:33.920
But at the same time, allow Him to speak. Shut up. Be still. There comes a time

586
00:34:33.920 --> 00:34:37.480
when you just need to shut up and stop talking, stop singing, stop praying. And

587
00:34:37.480 --> 00:34:42.600
just be still. And know He's going to let God speak to you. See? Relationship is

588
00:34:42.600 --> 00:34:46.480
two-way communication. And so many Christians, they're so busy giving their

589
00:34:46.480 --> 00:34:51.480
side, but they never take time to listen. And so you want to know your assignment?

590
00:34:51.480 --> 00:34:56.719
Learn to develop your relationship with Jesus. Learn how to hear Him. Communicate

591
00:34:56.719 --> 00:35:01.920
with Him. Okay, whānau, that's today's...

592
00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:06.320
message. You can call it what you like. So this, I'm going to blow this in the healing presence of

593
00:35:06.320 --> 00:35:10.640
God. It's going to come upon people in a different way today. And it's going to come through the

594
00:35:10.640 --> 00:35:17.680
sound. Now kawaua, it's a Māori flute, and it was often blown when a woman is about to birth,

595
00:35:17.680 --> 00:35:22.640
and the melodic sound would help her to help ease the birthing of a new child.

596
00:35:23.520 --> 00:35:29.520
Some say also it was blind when there was a news coming to the tribe,

597
00:35:29.520 --> 00:35:34.400
that a runner would be coming with news, with good news. And this sound would be the sound

598
00:35:34.400 --> 00:35:39.520
sometimes that would hear the sound of that, oh, someone's coming to bring news to us.

599
00:35:39.520 --> 00:35:44.640
When I blow this sound, good news has come to you. When I blow this sound, it's going to help

600
00:35:44.640 --> 00:35:49.280
birth forth what God has put in your life. When I blow this sound, those of you with sickness,

601
00:35:49.280 --> 00:35:54.160
disease in your body, this sound is going to soothe through your physical body, and it's going

602
00:35:54.160 --> 00:35:59.680
to release you of that affliction, that sickness. You may, it might be a different way that you've

603
00:35:59.680 --> 00:36:04.320
been experiencing the supernatural presence of God. But that's good. You need to understand that

604
00:36:04.320 --> 00:36:09.280
he doesn't just move through one way. It's the gifts of healing, not the gift of healing,

605
00:36:09.280 --> 00:36:14.000
the gifts of healing. There's different ways. So as I blow this, then you lean forward

606
00:36:14.960 --> 00:36:20.560
into the presence of God, and may the presence of God bring his miracles. Lord, Holy Spirit,

607
00:36:20.560 --> 00:36:27.200
bring your miracles. Holy Spirit, bring your healings. Holy Spirit, bring the encounters.

608
00:36:27.200 --> 00:36:33.520
I give you glory. I give you praise. Lord, as the sound of the Spirit, the breath of God,

609
00:36:33.520 --> 00:36:38.560
comes through my breath, your Spirit and my Spirit are joined as one. As I go through this instrument,

610
00:36:38.560 --> 00:36:44.320
let the sound that goes forth glorify you, Jesus. Let you be glorified. Let the saints

611
00:36:44.320 --> 00:36:49.440
be edified, and let your people be healed through signs, miracles, and wonders. Yesterday, today,

612
00:36:49.440 --> 00:36:54.880
and today, you are the same Jesus. Amen. Okay, fine. As soon as I blow, just lean forward,

613
00:36:54.880 --> 00:36:59.680
and I'm going to blow it slowly. I'm going to take time to blow it, and you'll just feel

614
00:36:59.680 --> 00:37:04.320
the presence of God come upon you in a very powerful way.

615
00:37:29.680 --> 00:37:34.320
Thank you, Jesus.

616
00:38:00.400 --> 00:38:06.320
Wow.

617
00:38:17.760 --> 00:38:23.920
It's like a cone of silence. It's almost too sacred to speak because of this presence of

618
00:38:23.920 --> 00:38:31.040
God that's just come upon you. This presence of Jesus that's just filled your room right now.

619
00:38:32.240 --> 00:38:42.000
Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. We give you glory. Amen. Amen. Amen. I'm going to send you

620
00:38:42.000 --> 00:38:47.760
some notes through on the site, and you can fill them in. It's a bit of a study.

621
00:38:48.320 --> 00:38:57.360
And well, don't forget to testify, whānau. To testify is to glorify. Okay. Those have been

622
00:38:57.360 --> 00:39:04.080
healed. Those had pain in your bodies, sickness, afflictions in your body, and now you move it,

623
00:39:04.080 --> 00:39:10.320
and it's all freed up. It's healed. Lumps have disappeared. Diagnoses have been turned around.

624
00:39:11.280 --> 00:39:18.000
Facebook me. Number one. Number two notice. Whānau out there, I love you all,

625
00:39:18.000 --> 00:39:23.440

626
00:39:23.440 --> 00:39:29.600
message me attachments. I get hundreds every week, and I've been getting them for years,

627
00:39:30.160 --> 00:39:35.600
and I know they're given with good intentions, but often I've already read them, already seen them,

628
00:39:35.600 --> 00:39:43.280
and 95% of these conspiracy theories are fake. They're false. It's fake news, and you need to

629
00:39:43.280 --> 00:39:50.560
research things out. I mean, do proper research. Do due diligence. Need to be run by apostles and

630
00:39:50.560 --> 00:39:55.920
prophets, whether it's real. It scares me, and so many Christians just see the latest thing on

631
00:39:55.920 --> 00:39:59.840
Facebook, and they post it, and they put it all over their networks as if it's gospel.

632
00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:04.320
and you don't even know whether it's true or not a lot of stuff is just fake stuff so please

633
00:40:04.320 --> 00:40:10.400
don't send me attachments and don't think i need to see it holy spirit speaks to me

634
00:40:10.400 --> 00:40:14.480
long before attachments come so please don't send me attachments even though it's

635
00:40:14.480 --> 00:40:19.920
