1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.000
Kia ora whānau. Right with you.

2
00:00:07.000 --> 00:00:22.000
Anyway, if you want to take a photo of this, take a photo.

3
00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:28.000
Anyway, I'll put it up. I'll put it up shortly.

4
00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:34.000
Kia ora Elise.

5
00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:38.000
Hallelujah.

6
00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:41.000
Kia ora whānau.

7
00:00:41.000 --> 00:00:46.000
Lois, Lois, Elise, Scotty.

8
00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:53.000
Kia ora young blood, young warrior, Camille, Caroline.

9
00:00:53.000 --> 00:01:01.000
Hi Jess, Kylie, hey Kyle. God bless you over there in Aussie, my bro. Yeah, let's do it.

10
00:01:01.000 --> 00:01:04.000
Hi Olivia.

11
00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:07.000
Kia ora Kenneth, Kathy.

12
00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:22.000
Now today, you, hopefully, I sent through, hang on a sec.

13
00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:37.000
Now, Bendy kindly put online this study.

14
00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:40.000
So it's on the embassy page.

15
00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:45.000
And I'm going to be operating off that today off the embassy page.

16
00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:52.000
So hopefully you got that. That was, I think he did that on Thursday or Friday.

17
00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:55.000
And they went up on Friday. Yeah, one of those days anyway.

18
00:01:55.000 --> 00:01:59.000
So I'm going to put another couple up.

19
00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:07.000
And so once they go up online, you'll need to, I don't know how you do it, you need to, I don't know, print it out.

20
00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:12.000
If you've got a printer at home, or make a copy of it on your own notes.

21
00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:19.000
But unfortunately, I'm not going to email these out because I'll be forever in a day sending out emails.

22
00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:26.000
There's about 400 people on the course. And there's no way I'm doing 400 emails, unless somebody knows.

23
00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:29.000
Anyway, so I'm going to do that study today.

24
00:02:29.000 --> 00:02:32.000
And it's going back to church government.

25
00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:39.000
And it's going back to church government, kingdom government.

26
00:02:39.000 --> 00:02:46.000
Because if we don't have a grasp, if you don't understand the structure of it, you know, you are a human being made with the body.

27
00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:56.000
And the fact is that we're, I think we're, I forget how many buckets of water in one bucket of mud we are.

28
00:02:56.000 --> 00:03:05.000
We're just buckets of water and mud. Physically, our makeup, the substance of our makeup is physically so many buckets of water in a bucket of mud.

29
00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:10.000
And so that's, you know, imagine pushing or putting all that stuff together. It's just a globby, big glob.

30
00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:14.000
The only reason that we stand upright is because we have a skeleton.

31
00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:17.000
Come here. Come here.

32
00:03:17.000 --> 00:03:20.000
We have a skeleton.

33
00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:27.000
And it's the skeleton, it's the structure that God puts in this mud and this mud and water.

34
00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:32.000
If we didn't have structure, we'd just be a blob, just a glob, a blob.

35
00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:39.000
And so structure is so important. God ordains structure. Without structure, things fall to pieces.

36
00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:45.000
And so the body has to have the skeletal structure in order for it to operate.

37
00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:49.000
And there has to be structure in marriage, has to have a structure.

38
00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:54.000
The husband and wife and there's going to be, you know, operating out of love.

39
00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:59.000
There's a structure. The Word of God gives us guidance on how to structure our lives.

40
00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:05.000
Gives us guidance on how to structure our thoughts. Gives us guidance on how to structure our relationships.

41
00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:10.000
In heaven, there's structure. There's someone in charge. There's someone that calls the shots.

42
00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:13.000
The Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit, the Trinity.

43
00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:17.000
There are angels. There are beasts. There are elders. There's creatures.

44
00:04:17.000 --> 00:04:20.000
There's animals up there. There's structure in heaven.

45
00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:23.000
And the structure in heaven is perfect harmony.

46
00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:28.000
And that's why Jesus says, pray thy kingdom come and thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

47
00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:33.000
And so the structure of heaven, the harmony of heaven, and there's two rules with heaven.

48
00:04:33.000 --> 00:04:37.000
Two rules. And those rules are rules of love.

49
00:04:37.000 --> 00:04:42.000
Number one, love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your mind, all your soul, all your strength.

50
00:04:42.000 --> 00:04:45.000
Number one. Number two rule is love your neighbor as yourself.

51
00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:49.000
Well, in heaven, it's easy to live by that structure because it's heaven.

52
00:04:49.000 --> 00:04:53.000
There's no demons up there. There's no death up there. There's no decay.

53
00:04:53.000 --> 00:04:54.000
It's just, it's heaven.

54
00:04:55.000 --> 00:04:58.000
And so on earth, it's a bit harder to fulfill those two rules.

55
00:04:58.000 --> 00:05:00.000
But they're the two rules of the kingdom.

56
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:05.960
They're the two rules of the church, they're the two rules of the Kingdom of God, of the

57
00:05:05.960 --> 00:05:11.960
system that we live under, of the unshakable system that we live under.

58
00:05:11.960 --> 00:05:22.720
Yeah, so, I was in India many years ago, well, yeah, quite a few years ago, and our church

59
00:05:22.720 --> 00:05:28.800
had grown from nothing, oh sorry, had grown from 130, I think we were getting up around

60
00:05:28.800 --> 00:05:37.240
about close to 2,000 at that time, and the church has grown because we're reaching Muslims,

61
00:05:37.240 --> 00:05:44.160
Hindus, and Communists, and the Communists are one of the very, very volatile, very violent

62
00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:51.080
over there, and there's one village quite a few hours from where the city we operated

63
00:05:51.080 --> 00:05:55.080
in, and there's a village up there where the Communists murdered the pastor by chopping

64
00:05:55.080 --> 00:05:59.320
off his head, his arms, and his legs, and they just left the stump of his body on the

65
00:05:59.320 --> 00:06:04.840
steps of the church to put fear into the church members, and they had a message, if we will

66
00:06:04.840 --> 00:06:07.560
do this to your leader, what will we do to you?

67
00:06:07.560 --> 00:06:13.240
And so the church is just shut down because it's run by fear, so this is the militant

68
00:06:13.240 --> 00:06:18.960
Communists, and the Lord said to me, as our church was growing in the area we're in, He

69
00:06:18.960 --> 00:06:24.320
said that soon the Communists will, they will attack us, He said, but I want you to go to

70
00:06:24.320 --> 00:06:29.920
them first to pre-empt their attack, and He said, I want you to prophesy over the leader,

71
00:06:29.920 --> 00:06:33.000
I didn't realise at the time I was going to prophesy, but He said, I want you to speak

72
00:06:33.000 --> 00:06:37.760
to the leader, and as I spoke to the leader I actually prophesied over him, and He gave

73
00:06:37.760 --> 00:06:41.000
me a message to say to the leader, and He says, I don't want you going as a pastor,

74
00:06:41.000 --> 00:06:46.240
I don't want you going representing church, I don't want you going representing churchianity,

75
00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:53.440
I don't want you going representing Christianity, I want you just going as a son of my kingdom,

76
00:06:53.600 --> 00:06:56.800
as a son of the kingdom, and just share this message.

77
00:06:56.800 --> 00:07:03.520
So I went to the, this ties in with what I'm teaching today, so I went to him and he's

78
00:07:03.520 --> 00:07:08.440
sitting there like this, actually I'll send a photo through to you, because my pastors

79
00:07:08.440 --> 00:07:11.840
wasn't, they're not taking photos of this time, so there are guards out there, armed

80
00:07:11.840 --> 00:07:18.280
guards you know with the AK-47s and it's awesome, and so he's sitting there like this and basically

81
00:07:18.280 --> 00:07:19.280
says, what do you want?

82
00:07:19.280 --> 00:07:27.000
And I said, hello sir, I just want to honour you and basically show respect to you for

83
00:07:27.000 --> 00:07:32.280
what you are trying to do for your people, you know try to overcome the system of injustice

84
00:07:32.280 --> 00:07:36.680
and try to lift your people up to a better quality of life, so I just want to acknowledge

85
00:07:36.680 --> 00:07:44.000
that and recognise that, and I want to share that I would like to help you in your efforts

86
00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:50.600
to bring a better future for your people, and he's still like this, and then he said,

87
00:07:50.600 --> 00:07:58.080
no church talks to us like this, and I says, I don't represent a church, and I don't represent

88
00:07:58.080 --> 00:08:05.240
a Christianity, I represent a system, but it's neither religious nor political, and

89
00:08:05.240 --> 00:08:12.320
the system I represent is called a kingdom, and it has a king, and the king has two rules

90
00:08:12.320 --> 00:08:17.600
in this kingdom, and the kingdom is, the first rule is that I'm to love my God with

91
00:08:17.600 --> 00:08:24.280
all my heart and soul, and the second rule is I'm to love my neighbour as myself, your

92
00:08:24.280 --> 00:08:30.360
poor are my neighbours, your widows are our neighbours, those who are being oppressed

93
00:08:30.360 --> 00:08:39.360
by injustice, they are our neighbours, and I said, so I represent the system of the kingdom

94
00:08:39.400 --> 00:08:46.400
and I want to come and help share our love for our neighbours, but through practical

95
00:08:47.240 --> 00:08:53.080
ways, I said, I want to put my money where my mouth is, and we want to help the uneducated

96
00:08:53.080 --> 00:08:57.960
poor children in your neighbourhood, we want to help build houses for your widows and your

97
00:08:57.960 --> 00:09:02.760
orphans, we want to help provide food and a better way of living, I said, why should

98
00:09:02.760 --> 00:09:07.720
we fight as Christians and communists, why should we concentrate fighting one another

99
00:09:07.760 --> 00:09:13.760
when our real enemy is injustice, and if we were joined together we could break that power

100
00:09:13.760 --> 00:09:20.800
of injustice over our poor, and this guy's like this, and he puts his, his body language

101
00:09:20.800 --> 00:09:25.320
changes and he just puts his hand down, so I kept talking him like this, and I said,

102
00:09:25.320 --> 00:09:31.440
I know that you have in your heart to help lift your people out of the yoke of injustice,

103
00:09:31.440 --> 00:09:36.320
and you're doing it politically, you're using communism as a method, I see where your heart

104
00:09:36.320 --> 00:09:40.360
is, and you have a good heart, I said, I come from the land that sees the sun rise

105
00:09:40.360 --> 00:09:45.000
first before any other nation in the world, my city sees it before any other nation, I

106
00:09:45.000 --> 00:09:50.760
come from the land that sees the dawn of a new day before anyone else in the world, and

107
00:09:50.760 --> 00:09:57.240
I believe that God wants you to bring a new day in your life, and the dawn of a new day

108
00:09:57.240 --> 00:10:00.000
to break forth, and that I'm bringing a message.

109
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:03.920
from the dawn of a new day, and that God wants to bring a new day through you, and

110
00:10:03.920 --> 00:10:08.200
that if we will work together in this kingdom, we'll do far much better, far

111
00:10:08.200 --> 00:10:12.680
much more for our people, rather than all the dysfunction. And this guy, he stands

112
00:10:12.680 --> 00:10:16.440
up, this communist leader stands up, and he leant forward, and he said to me, pray

113
00:10:16.440 --> 00:10:21.160
for me. This is the man who previously, no church has talked, he's very arrogant, very

114
00:10:21.160 --> 00:10:25.200
didn't want anything to do with us, to put his head forward and saying, pray for me.

115
00:10:25.200 --> 00:10:29.000
I mean, that's the Spirit of the Lord, that's unction, that's the anointing,

116
00:10:29.000 --> 00:10:32.560
that's not by might or power, that's by Spirit, that's not me. So I prayed over this

117
00:10:32.560 --> 00:10:37.360
man, and from this point on, that point on, that's about six, easy six years ago,

118
00:10:37.360 --> 00:10:43.760
he has been an alliance of the kingdom, and we don't fight, he doesn't harass

119
00:10:43.760 --> 00:10:47.480
our teams when we go into their villages now. In fact, when I go into their

120
00:10:47.480 --> 00:10:52.200
villages, they open up their village, and they welcome me in to preach, and other

121
00:10:52.200 --> 00:10:55.760
pastors, other churches, they have burnt down their material, they have beaten

122
00:10:55.760 --> 00:11:01.680
them up, but they love us, they open up to us. Why? Because I don't preach the

123
00:11:01.680 --> 00:11:05.520
gospel of churchianity or Christianity, I preach the gospel Jesus told us to

124
00:11:05.520 --> 00:11:11.440
preach, the gospel of the kingdom of God, and the kingdom has two laws, love God

125
00:11:11.440 --> 00:11:15.280
with all your heart, and express that love for God by expressing love for

126
00:11:15.280 --> 00:11:19.320
your neighbor, and our neighbors are not just Christians, our neighbors are the

127
00:11:19.320 --> 00:11:25.880
sinners, the gays, the communists, the Hindu, the people, just take away

128
00:11:25.880 --> 00:11:30.640
all the labels, they're just people, they're human beings, love human beings, that's all

129
00:11:30.640 --> 00:11:37.400
it is. So this man now, he comes to our church at least twice a year, he comes as

130
00:11:37.400 --> 00:11:44.320
an invited guest, and he helps hand out books to the children, or yeah, he just

131
00:11:44.320 --> 00:11:49.280
helps, he's part of the work that we're doing, and we have built seven houses

132
00:11:49.280 --> 00:11:54.680
over there in India, we have built a house for a Muslim widow and her

133
00:11:54.680 --> 00:12:01.520
orphans, a Hindu widow and her orphans, and a communist widow and her

134
00:12:01.520 --> 00:12:06.560
orphans, and when we had the housing minister come and open the house for, the

135
00:12:06.560 --> 00:12:10.920
first house for the communist lady, the communist family, the communist leader

136
00:12:10.920 --> 00:12:14.120
was there, and he came up to me, and this is another communist leader, he came up

137
00:12:14.120 --> 00:12:17.720
to me, and he had tears in his eyes, and he shook my hand, he said you've

138
00:12:17.720 --> 00:12:21.920
done more for us in one year than we've been able to do in ten years, and so

139
00:12:21.920 --> 00:12:26.920
there's a communist leader standing with me, a Hindu housing minister, a communist

140
00:12:26.920 --> 00:12:33.880
widow and her orphans, there's also a Muslim widow and orphans, so that's

141
00:12:33.880 --> 00:12:37.600
the kingdom, the kingdom of God brings people together, we've got to understand

142
00:12:37.600 --> 00:12:41.720
the kingdom, we've got to understand that God has structure, and the church has to

143
00:12:41.720 --> 00:12:48.280
have structure, and it's got to be God's structure, and so I'm going to talk

144
00:12:48.280 --> 00:12:54.000
to you about building a church, and church government, and how to build

145
00:12:54.000 --> 00:12:58.600
that, how to build it, so I'm going to go through these notes, hopefully that you

146
00:12:58.600 --> 00:13:06.840
have got, if you haven't got them, kaiti pai, go back, text, message Benji and say

147
00:13:06.840 --> 00:13:10.960
where are they, see my unit is unit six on the embassy, so if you go into the

148
00:13:11.000 --> 00:13:16.440
embassy unit six, there's all my teaching, all my sessions, and so hopefully this

149
00:13:16.440 --> 00:13:25.360
study should be there, and it is called church, let's see it's called module two

150
00:13:25.360 --> 00:13:32.520
lesson three, the pattern, okay should be there, and on the first page you should

151
00:13:32.520 --> 00:13:37.680
have a man, so I've got to put that there with pictures, because I'm

152
00:13:37.680 --> 00:13:45.040
visual, and we're visual, and Jesus taught by visual, by you know, put pictures in

153
00:13:45.040 --> 00:13:49.440
your mind, okay so I'm gonna go through this, and if you haven't got the study

154
00:13:49.440 --> 00:13:54.600
kaiti pai, you can just, you'll still catch something of it, okay, and then I'm

155
00:13:54.600 --> 00:14:01.000
gonna, if I have time, I'm gonna go on how to upgrade yourself academically, how to

156
00:14:01.000 --> 00:14:06.720
upgrade yourself spiritually, how to upgrade yourself mentally, by doing, how

157
00:14:06.720 --> 00:14:11.120
to do, how to study the Word of God, how to study the Bible, how to get an

158
00:14:11.120 --> 00:14:15.840
overview of the Bible, how to do something with your time, okay, more than

159
00:14:15.840 --> 00:14:24.120
what you're doing here, okay, so church government, building the church, and so

160
00:14:24.120 --> 00:14:32.120
after this, the next session will be about kingdom, kingdom structure, church

161
00:14:32.200 --> 00:14:38.040
structure, kingdom structure, okay, okay, if you're just tuning in, this probably

162
00:14:38.040 --> 00:14:41.000
won't make much sense to you, unless you've done the, looked at the sessions

163
00:14:41.000 --> 00:14:44.160
I've already talked about on church government, and church structure, so I

164
00:14:44.160 --> 00:14:48.120
don't know what units are, you can go back to that, but here we go, we must

165
00:14:48.120 --> 00:14:53.040
build according to the pattern, the church belongs to Jesus, and just as he

166
00:14:53.040 --> 00:14:56.720
gave us a structure for our bodies, and their structure in heaven, their

167
00:14:56.720 --> 00:15:01.680
structure in the natural order of society.

168
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:04.080
there's structure in the police force, there's structure in the army, there's structure in the

169
00:15:04.080 --> 00:15:07.680
health systems, there's structure in the hospital, everything's got a structure.

170
00:15:07.680 --> 00:15:13.680
You imagine an organisation running without structure. Even in sport, there's structure.

171
00:15:13.680 --> 00:15:17.840
There's a coach, there's a captain, there's a team. Everyone's got structure and everybody's

172
00:15:17.840 --> 00:15:22.800
got to know their place in that structure to help that structure operate. And I think it's

173
00:15:22.800 --> 00:15:32.800
really interesting that, sorry to be negative, but it's reality, that people come to church

174
00:15:32.800 --> 00:15:37.600
and they're raised in a structure, a government structure, we're under the government,

175
00:15:37.600 --> 00:15:41.040
we drive on the road according to the right side of the road because that's a structure,

176
00:15:41.040 --> 00:15:45.680
that we're the laws of the land, we're structured to live under that. We go to work, we obey our

177
00:15:45.680 --> 00:15:50.720
boss because it's a structure we live under. We have a marriage, we have husbands and wives,

178
00:15:50.720 --> 00:15:56.240
live under the structure of husband and wife, and we live under structure and we submit to

179
00:15:56.240 --> 00:16:00.880
structure and to God-ordained structures all around us. But I've seen Christians come to church

180
00:16:00.880 --> 00:16:05.120
and suddenly they don't want to have any structure in church. They say, no, I want to do what I want

181
00:16:05.120 --> 00:16:09.840
to do. I want to prophesy wherever I want to prophesy. I don't want to need to sit under a

182
00:16:09.840 --> 00:16:15.920
pastor and tell me what to do. And suddenly structure goes out the window. And I call it,

183
00:16:16.800 --> 00:16:20.960
it's called the charismatics, charismatic movement. Well, sometimes I think it's like

184
00:16:20.960 --> 00:16:28.000
the charismaniacs. You've got to have structure in church. It's got to have structure in church.

185
00:16:28.640 --> 00:16:32.960
Now, there are some people where there's been abusive church leadership, there's been abusive

186
00:16:32.960 --> 00:16:38.400
churches, and there's been wacky churches. I'm not talking about them, okay? I'm talking about

187
00:16:38.400 --> 00:16:44.080
the churches Jesus is in charge of. Now, you might be saying, but I got hurt there. Look,

188
00:16:44.080 --> 00:16:48.320
I'm not talking about perfect churches because there's none on earth. There's no perfect church

189
00:16:48.320 --> 00:16:53.760
on earth. If you don't believe me, read Revelations 2 and 3. There's only a couple of churches Jesus

190
00:16:53.760 --> 00:17:00.640
commands, but they're not perfect. So when people hear this, sometimes their shackles go up because

191
00:17:00.640 --> 00:17:05.280
they've been hurt by church, hurt by church leadership. But I've got to say, come on,

192
00:17:05.280 --> 00:17:09.839
you've got to get over yourself. You've got to get over it. And I'm not memonizing your pain,

193
00:17:09.839 --> 00:17:15.599
but you've got to learn to put Jesus above your pain, Jesus above dysfunction, Jesus above what

194
00:17:15.599 --> 00:17:20.079
happened in the past. You can't keep moving forward, looking in the past, being defined by

195
00:17:20.079 --> 00:17:24.880
your past or being defined by churches of the past. We've got to build Jesus' church. We've

196
00:17:24.880 --> 00:17:31.200
got to build according to His pattern. So I've determined instead of being part of the problem

197
00:17:31.200 --> 00:17:36.160
in church, I'm going to be part of the solution. Instead of criticizing the way where church isn't,

198
00:17:36.160 --> 00:17:40.880
I'm going to help build the church to where she should be. So in the name of Jesus, let's get

199
00:17:40.880 --> 00:17:46.720
going with this study. Jesus has a structure for the church, okay? Psalm 127. It says,

200
00:17:51.360 --> 00:17:59.600
This is where you should be filling in. So you'll have empty spots there. So

201
00:17:59.600 --> 00:18:03.760
for those of you who got the study, printed them out, I'm going through this with you right now.

202
00:18:03.760 --> 00:18:10.320
So unless the Lord builds the house, its builders labour in vain, okay? So we need, the Lord's got

203
00:18:10.320 --> 00:18:14.160
to be helping build the house. The next one is Exodus 25 verse 9.

204
00:18:27.040 --> 00:18:31.360
So make this tabernacle, all its furnishings, the blank, where the blank is, exactly

205
00:18:32.000 --> 00:18:39.360
like the next blank pattern. I'm sorry if you haven't got this, but that's what it's saying.

206
00:18:39.360 --> 00:18:45.840
Make the tabernacle, all its furnishings, exactly according to the pattern. Again, we're seeing from

207
00:18:45.840 --> 00:18:52.240
Old Testament that the church of the New Testament is founded on the shadow of the Old Testament.

208
00:18:52.240 --> 00:18:59.760
Everything that's happening in our lives today, the shadow of it was written in the Old Testament.

209
00:18:59.760 --> 00:19:06.960
When people, all they quote is New Testament, but they don't have any depth of the principles

210
00:19:06.960 --> 00:19:11.440
and the patterns of God, they go back through to the Old Testament. So the Old Testament is like a

211
00:19:11.440 --> 00:19:16.640
foundation, and the New Testament is what's built on top of that, okay? So you've got to use the old

212
00:19:16.640 --> 00:19:23.520
and the new. And so I always, most times, when I'm doing a teaching, I'll have a balance of the old

213
00:19:23.520 --> 00:19:27.600
and the new. You can see the pattern in the Old Testament and the pattern in the New Testament,

214
00:19:27.600 --> 00:19:34.720
okay? So imagine building a house.

215
00:19:42.320 --> 00:19:49.840
Yeah, so imagine building a house, and you start trying to build the roof first. I mean,

216
00:19:49.840 --> 00:19:54.960
that's crazy. Imagine building a house, and instead you're trying to build the floor,

217
00:19:54.960 --> 00:19:58.960
or put bring the carpet in. Now, you've got to build the foundation for a stay.

218
00:19:58.960 --> 00:19:59.920
You've got to put a foundation.

219
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:04.000
If you're going to build a house, you've got to start with the foundation. You should start with the ground,

220
00:20:04.000 --> 00:20:09.440
okay, the land first. Don't build on sand, okay? You've got to find rock, got to find a solid bed.

221
00:20:09.440 --> 00:20:14.080
And Jesus, the word, the rock is the word of God. So you've got to build on the word of God,

222
00:20:14.080 --> 00:20:19.760
the standard, the rock, the foundation of the church is the word of God, right? Okay, that's,

223
00:20:19.760 --> 00:20:26.400
that's, that's the rock bed we build on. And Matthew 16, 18, there's a blank, I will build my,

224
00:20:26.400 --> 00:20:30.880
there's a blank, church, okay? And the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

225
00:20:31.920 --> 00:20:37.440
Okay, going over, over the page. Why do we need leadership structure?

226
00:20:38.640 --> 00:20:43.280
Okay, well, how would a rugby team get on without a captain or a coach?

227
00:20:45.120 --> 00:20:49.520
How would an army get on without anyone in charge, without a general or a, or a major?

228
00:20:50.880 --> 00:20:54.720
How do families cope when parents don't take their position of parental authority?

229
00:20:55.440 --> 00:20:59.600
When there's no God-ordained structure in a marriage, in a family, in a society, it turns

230
00:20:59.600 --> 00:21:07.200
to mush. So imagine a church without godly structure, turns to mush. You've got to have

231
00:21:07.200 --> 00:21:14.480
God-ordained structure in the church. Okay, Mark chapter 12, verse 10. Have you not even read the

232
00:21:14.480 --> 00:21:19.200
scripture, the stone which the builders rejected has become, now here's the blanks to fill in,

233
00:21:19.200 --> 00:21:24.640
the chief cornerstone, the chief cornerstone.

234
00:21:29.840 --> 00:21:38.880
Fill it in. Welcome to school. So those of you watching, if you don't have these notes,

235
00:21:38.880 --> 00:21:43.520
please look out for what I'm going to put back on the embassy or Benji will put up

236
00:21:43.520 --> 00:21:48.240
for the notes so you can print them out or go through them in some way. Excuse me a minute.

237
00:21:49.840 --> 00:22:08.400
Okay, moving on. Ephesians 2, verse 19 and 20, the next one below.

238
00:22:09.280 --> 00:22:12.480
The household of God having been built on the foundation,

239
00:22:12.480 --> 00:22:16.000
the blank is foundation, put in the words foundation.

240
00:22:18.880 --> 00:22:27.200
Right there, foundation. So the question came, what is the foundation of the church?

241
00:22:28.720 --> 00:22:36.960
And I automatically said, oh Jesus, but they said, no, it's not Jesus. He's, what? That's blasphemy.

242
00:22:36.960 --> 00:22:41.600
Of course it's Jesus. He's the foundation of everything. Now he's the foundation of our faith,

243
00:22:41.600 --> 00:22:46.240
but he's not the foundation of the church. He is the cornerstone. He's the chief cornerstone,

244
00:22:46.240 --> 00:22:52.720
but he's not the foundation. So what's the foundation? Well, Ephesians 2, 19 and 20,

245
00:22:52.720 --> 00:22:58.880
the household of God having been built on the foundation of the, so the word foundation,

246
00:22:58.880 --> 00:23:07.520
of the apostles and prophets. Jesus Christ himself being the chief cornerstone. So he's the stone

247
00:23:07.520 --> 00:23:11.920
right on the end of the building. You take that stone, everything falls, but that stone's there.

248
00:23:11.920 --> 00:23:17.440
But then the foundation, the one that really is the apostle and the prophet.

249
00:23:18.560 --> 00:23:25.200
Interesting, isn't it? That is the foundation of the apostles and prophets,

250
00:23:25.200 --> 00:23:30.880
the foundation of the church. Okay, let's turn over to...

251
00:23:30.880 --> 00:23:42.560
Some churches are built on traditions. Some churches are built on the forefathers' traditions,

252
00:23:42.560 --> 00:23:48.240
and some of these could be good godly traditions, good godly foundations.

253
00:23:50.400 --> 00:23:56.400
Some could be built on philosophies. Now some are being built on the foundation of humanism,

254
00:23:56.400 --> 00:24:00.400
and you've got to be careful what you build on because it's not built on the

255
00:24:00.400 --> 00:24:05.840
foundation that Jesus ordained, the ministry of the apostle and the prophet, then it's a flop.

256
00:24:06.400 --> 00:24:10.560
Okay, so these are not my words. These are his words. So we turn over to the next page.

257
00:24:12.160 --> 00:24:16.240
Okay, and you see a straight stick and a crooked stick. This is interesting. You could

258
00:24:16.800 --> 00:24:21.680
pick up a branch that fell off a tree and put it up, and it looks really, really straight,

259
00:24:22.560 --> 00:24:27.600
until you get a ruler and put it next to it, and you make a comparison. Oh, it doesn't look as

260
00:24:27.600 --> 00:24:34.000
straight as it did before. And the crooked stick and the straight stick, see,

261
00:24:37.760 --> 00:24:42.320
people might look pretty righteous. They might look like they're living righteous lives, and

262
00:24:42.320 --> 00:24:46.800
they don't swear, and they don't hurt people, and their life looks pretty righteous until you put

263
00:24:46.800 --> 00:24:52.720
Jesus next to them, and you see his life, and then the boy. And so Jesus is the straight stick. The

264
00:24:52.720 --> 00:24:56.800
Word of God is the straight stick. We judge everything by the straight stick, by the Word

265
00:24:56.800 --> 00:24:59.760
of God, not by human philosophy, not by human opinions.

266
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:04.640
not by human traditions, not what you think or I think, but what the Word of God says.

267
00:25:04.640 --> 00:25:08.720
We're going to build the house of God according to the straight stick of the Word of God,

268
00:25:09.840 --> 00:25:16.720
the Word of Jesus. So a crooked stick looks pretty straight until it's compared with a

269
00:25:16.720 --> 00:25:22.160
straight stick. Jesus is our straight stick. He is our point of reference. He is the one we compare

270
00:25:22.160 --> 00:25:27.520
ourselves against. In like manner, we must build the church according to the straight stick of His

271
00:25:27.520 --> 00:25:32.480
pattern. Unless the Lord builds the house, they that build it labor in vain. We must build

272
00:25:32.480 --> 00:25:37.760
according to the straight stick of the Word of God, not the crooked stick of man's opinion,

273
00:25:37.760 --> 00:25:44.320
not the crooked stick of religious traditions, not the crooked stick of charismaniac's opinions.

274
00:25:44.320 --> 00:25:49.280
We've got to build according to the straight stick of what the Word of God says, how His church is to

275
00:25:49.280 --> 00:25:53.600
be built. And it has to have a foundation. It has to have the foundation of the apostles and the

276
00:25:53.600 --> 00:25:59.600
prophets. It has to have structure. God loves His people. You know what church is? Church is not the

277
00:25:59.600 --> 00:26:05.120
building. Church is not an organization, although it operates like one. It is not an organization.

278
00:26:05.120 --> 00:26:10.560
It is a whānau. It is a family. As Māori, we understand this concept. It's a family.

279
00:26:11.200 --> 00:26:18.720
And in a family, they're summoned. In a family, Dad's voice is the loudest, okay? Not an abusive

280
00:26:18.720 --> 00:26:25.200
Dad, not a dictatorial Dad, not a religious Dad, not an overbearing, oppressive Dad,

281
00:26:25.200 --> 00:26:32.560
but a Dad who loves us. His voice is the loudest. What Dad says, kids listen to. And Mum as well.

282
00:26:32.560 --> 00:26:39.600
We love Mum. Church is a whānau. And we've got brothers and sisters. Hallelujah. Anyway,

283
00:26:39.600 --> 00:26:46.640
we're getting there, whānau. And so, you've got to have the crooked stick pushed aside and

284
00:26:47.520 --> 00:26:50.560
right up, we'll get the straight stick of God's Word, the words of Jesus Christ.

285
00:26:52.800 --> 00:27:00.160
Now, in a church, there's differences of ministries and giftings, okay? Square pegs don't

286
00:27:00.160 --> 00:27:06.640
fit in round holes. Square pegs don't fit in round holes, okay? And that's been part of the problem

287
00:27:07.200 --> 00:27:12.240
in building the church in the West, is that we're trying to put square pegs in round holes.

288
00:27:12.720 --> 00:27:18.480
Round holes, square pegs round holes, come on. And what I'm saying is that we've got to

289
00:27:18.480 --> 00:27:22.560
recognize the different functions and the giftings that God has given to different

290
00:27:22.560 --> 00:27:29.360
members of the body of Christ. And for instance, you don't try to make an apostle a pastor.

291
00:27:30.240 --> 00:27:39.440
You don't try and make a prophet a teacher necessarily. You don't try and make a teacher

292
00:27:39.440 --> 00:27:44.640
an apostle. You don't try and make an evangelist a prophet. You've got to recognize the giftings

293
00:27:44.640 --> 00:27:49.440
and the functions God gave to the fivefold, and we'll come to that in a minute, that they've got

294
00:27:49.440 --> 00:27:58.400
to be put in their right position. And to try and lead the church, the body of Christ, to try to

295
00:27:58.400 --> 00:28:04.800
lead it by pastors and teachers and administrators, it's just not, it's got to flop. It's not according

296
00:28:04.800 --> 00:28:10.400
to pattern. And they may be the best teachers and the best pastors and godly administrators,

297
00:28:10.400 --> 00:28:15.040
but it's not God's pattern. It's the crooked stick. And we've got to begin to recognize and

298
00:28:15.040 --> 00:28:21.120
acknowledge there's apostles and prophets alive today in our nation who have so much to offer the

299
00:28:21.120 --> 00:28:29.120
body of Christ. But for one reason or another, they don't recognize the body of Christ, the church in

300
00:28:29.120 --> 00:28:36.480
general, doesn't recognize them because they're uneducated. They're uneducated. They don't know

301
00:28:36.480 --> 00:28:41.840
this stuff. Church government. They don't know about church structure, church government, that

302
00:28:41.840 --> 00:28:47.440
God has structure. And it's just like every man doing his own thing. In the days of judges,

303
00:28:47.440 --> 00:28:52.480
there was a season where there was no teaching priest in the country. And it says that

304
00:28:52.480 --> 00:28:57.680
every man did what was right in his own eyes. And for too long the church has done,

305
00:28:58.000 --> 00:29:02.560
I'm speaking generally, okay? I'm not speaking over every church. There are great churches in

306
00:29:02.560 --> 00:29:06.480
our nation. There have been great churches in our nation for decades and decades. So I'm not

307
00:29:06.480 --> 00:29:13.040
criticizing. Remember, I'm part of the solution to help build God's house. But often they have been,

308
00:29:15.440 --> 00:29:20.960
we can't just do what's right in our own eyes. We can't just build churches the way that we

309
00:29:20.960 --> 00:29:25.680
think they should be built in our own eyes. We've got to suck it up and look at what the pattern is

310
00:29:25.680 --> 00:29:29.680
and make, build it exactly according to the pattern that God gave us,

311
00:29:29.680 --> 00:29:34.640
through his word, through his son, Jesus. So Romans 12,

312
00:29:37.440 --> 00:29:43.120
verse 12, chapter 12, verse four and six, for as we are many members in one body,

313
00:29:43.120 --> 00:29:51.280
but all the members do not have the same function, fill in function. So, okay, sorry,

314
00:29:51.280 --> 00:29:59.440
function. F-U-N-C-T-I-O-N. Okay. So we are many. So we

315
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:09.040
being many are the blank one body right one body okay so now you're filled in the blank

316
00:30:09.040 --> 00:30:14.040
so it reads like this for as we are many members in one body but all the members do not have

317
00:30:14.040 --> 00:30:20.700
the same function so we being many are one body in Christ and individually members of

318
00:30:20.700 --> 00:30:27.880
one another having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us let us use

319
00:30:27.880 --> 00:30:35.840
them prophecy let us prophesy in proportion to our faith etc etc okay you turn over the

320
00:30:35.840 --> 00:30:46.600
page okay you've got this so the church well you don't have the words filled this is the

321
00:30:46.600 --> 00:30:52.360
teacher's manual so I'm reading out to fill in the missing point I made this study up

322
00:30:52.360 --> 00:30:58.160
years ago I made this up about 11 years ago in 2008 and I told it to a church I told it

323
00:30:58.160 --> 00:31:03.040
to a church over in India and our church has grown exponentially and because it's got a

324
00:31:03.040 --> 00:31:08.960
good foundation and I'm not yeah and it just has it's I mean her church can go from 130

325
00:31:08.960 --> 00:31:14.640
to 3007 years and I'm only there I was only there seven to ten days a year it's not just

326
00:31:14.640 --> 00:31:19.880
me it's they apply this stuff they apply and they build the church according to the pattern

327
00:31:19.880 --> 00:31:23.960
that God has shown them from the word so now if we can get churches like that built in New Zealand

328
00:31:23.960 --> 00:31:30.360
imagine that so here let's read fill in the blanks the church is made up of blank is members

329
00:31:30.360 --> 00:31:42.400
it's right in members okay with many different right and different that's your blank functions

330
00:31:42.400 --> 00:31:57.560
and God given abilities right and abilities a b i l i t i e s okay although every member m e m b

331
00:31:57.560 --> 00:32:07.360
e r every member has an equal position p o s i t i o n before God not all members have the same

332
00:32:07.360 --> 00:32:18.880
function of ministry so right and function of ministry before God and so it should read

333
00:32:18.880 --> 00:32:25.120
understanding church structure understanding church government understanding kingdom kingdom

334
00:32:25.120 --> 00:32:29.480
transformation the church is made up of members with many different functions and God-given

335
00:32:29.480 --> 00:32:35.320
abilities although every member has an equal position before God not all members have the

336
00:32:35.320 --> 00:32:41.320
same function of ministry before God so we're all equal position before God he loves us all

337
00:32:41.320 --> 00:32:47.040
there's no difference in that in our in our position of love before God okay but our function

338
00:32:47.040 --> 00:32:52.400
before God's God is different we have different functions some are here some are there some are

339
00:32:52.400 --> 00:32:58.360
there okay there's a the back parts body that Paul talks about there's a not so seemingly parts of

340
00:32:58.360 --> 00:33:06.240
the body and your physical body got different functions you can't the eye you know the the

341
00:33:06.240 --> 00:33:10.240
butt can't say to the eye hey I'm gonna be in charge today I'm gonna be sitting up here I said

342
00:33:10.240 --> 00:33:16.760
come on you're out of order you're out of structures ghastly illustration isn't it but face

343
00:33:16.760 --> 00:33:27.440
so so every member of your body is important but it's it's in its place for a reason the eyes are

344
00:33:27.440 --> 00:33:32.400
up here the nose is here the mouth is here it's not down here it's not on the toe all right and

345
00:33:32.400 --> 00:33:37.920
it doesn't get upset it's not divided against itself your toes not having an argument with

346
00:33:37.920 --> 00:33:42.440
your nose I should be up there who do you think you are being the nose up there I was important

347
00:33:42.440 --> 00:33:49.520
I was loved as the how stupid is that and yet that is the mentality that the charismatic mentality

348
00:33:49.520 --> 00:33:54.920
that's been going on for decades and churches of Christians insecure they don't know who they are

349
00:33:54.920 --> 00:34:00.360
they don't know their sonship identity they don't know the beloved sons of God when you get that

350
00:34:00.360 --> 00:34:05.040
you don't care where you are you're just part of the body you're happy to be part of the body and

351
00:34:05.040 --> 00:34:09.800
to help the body to function in order to express Jesus through the body that's what it's all about

352
00:34:09.800 --> 00:34:22.360
so so we have different functions okay now the function the the man's function or man's leadership

353
00:34:22.360 --> 00:34:29.159
structure and businesses is of course a CEO and there's the the the whatever who is I'm an under

354
00:34:29.159 --> 00:34:33.800
him and then there's this yeah different function different I don't know who their president or

355
00:34:33.800 --> 00:34:38.080
whatever in the army you have the general you have the president United States and you have

356
00:34:38.080 --> 00:34:42.639
the generals and then you got all those underneath the majors and sub lieutenants all that sort of

357
00:34:42.639 --> 00:34:48.080
stuff this structure and even the Romans and Terence's I'm a man under authority and I have

358
00:34:48.600 --> 00:34:55.120
authority under me okay so being understanding your your position understanding your function

359
00:34:55.120 --> 00:35:00.040
okay okay your position before God as your greatly beloved okay so in

360
00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:05.040
Apostle or somebody else comes along with a function that's above yours and if you get all insecure and all hey

361
00:35:05.040 --> 00:35:09.360
I should be out there. God loves me just as much. That's an example. That's just I

362
00:35:10.080 --> 00:35:12.080
an expression of

363
00:35:13.380 --> 00:35:19.760
Rejection in your life. That's an expression of something in your heart that you need to deal with. That's an expression of

364
00:35:20.760 --> 00:35:27.560
Insecurity that it's not a position that's going to make you feel significant. It's your it's it's your identity

365
00:35:28.040 --> 00:35:34.320
It's your identity in Christ knowing that you don't have to have a function up there that your identity

366
00:35:34.680 --> 00:35:37.380
Puts you in equal position and love before God

367
00:35:38.120 --> 00:35:43.080
Identity is more important than your sense of significance is more important than your function

368
00:35:43.160 --> 00:35:46.720
So so I hope this is helping somebody out there

369
00:35:47.800 --> 00:35:49.800
Amen

370
00:35:50.560 --> 00:35:56.600
Hallelujah, sorry, somebody's trying to ring through I'm just pressing the screen all the time. Can't get through at the moment pilot

371
00:35:57.120 --> 00:36:02.200
So you have natural abilities to help build the church you have abilities you have talents

372
00:36:02.200 --> 00:36:08.640
You have giftings that God has given you to help build the church of old terror to be something that expresses

373
00:36:09.000 --> 00:36:13.960
Expresses Jesus and you may not have the function when you're up here a prophet or an apostle

374
00:36:13.960 --> 00:36:18.240
You may not be they have the fun. You know, I might not have the function of evangelist or a pastor or a teacher

375
00:36:18.840 --> 00:36:23.860
It's KT pi find out what your function is because it's important to the body of Christ

376
00:36:24.620 --> 00:36:29.220
On a Mirai everybody's important. It's not just a coma to her on the pipeline

377
00:36:29.220 --> 00:36:32.260
She is the core at all the fight corridor the corridor

378
00:36:32.260 --> 00:36:38.460
It's our cooks out the back that are cooking the kai and eat in order to feed the the the coma to it

379
00:36:38.460 --> 00:36:40.180
Who can do the core at all?

380
00:36:40.180 --> 00:36:45.020
It's it's the cooks on the back that are providing the kai to welcome the money hitting on the visitors on

381
00:36:45.500 --> 00:36:48.620
Everybody's important. It's the cleaners to clean up afterwards

382
00:36:48.620 --> 00:36:55.340
It's the hunters who go and and bring the pork and and that's the at the gardeners get and bring the kumara and the vegeta

383
00:36:55.620 --> 00:36:57.620
Everybody's important the body of Christ

384
00:36:57.940 --> 00:36:59.380
everybody

385
00:36:59.380 --> 00:37:05.100
But but the position that we have in the Mirai isn't what gives us a sense of significance

386
00:37:05.100 --> 00:37:10.820
The fact is the sense of significance comes from the fact that hey, I'm part of this Iwi. I'm part of this hapu

387
00:37:10.820 --> 00:37:18.220
I'm part of this panel and and it's a sense of identity and that's why we'll go hunting. We'll go to the garden

388
00:37:18.340 --> 00:37:25.420
We'll we'll contribute to the well-being of the function of the Mirai because it's not about me. It's not about one person

389
00:37:25.420 --> 00:37:31.220
It's about the Mirai and it's about the ministry of the Mirai to the people and so the church is meant to be it's not

390
00:37:31.220 --> 00:37:37.540
About oh look at me. I'm a prophet. Oh, I'm a deserter. Oh, please recognize me recognize me

391
00:37:37.780 --> 00:37:39.500
I've got this gifting

392
00:37:39.500 --> 00:37:44.860
That's a terrible expression of deep insecurity of people who have never come into a relationship

393
00:37:45.300 --> 00:37:52.980
With father and don't understand that they're beloved sons and beloved daughters of God that they're greatly beloved for who they are

394
00:37:53.620 --> 00:37:59.740
Not what they try to do and some of these poor people unfortunately have been raised in a performance to police

395
00:38:00.500 --> 00:38:08.340
System or performed to police family where unless you got high marks and I'm generalizing a bit here unless you got high marks

396
00:38:08.580 --> 00:38:13.140
You never got any praise for mum or dad unless you did. Well, you've got any praise

397
00:38:13.140 --> 00:38:17.380
I mean it goes goes all the way down. It goes all the way down in different aspects of

398
00:38:18.060 --> 00:38:20.180
Trying to please to please. Yeah

399
00:38:20.860 --> 00:38:27.260
Rather trying to perform to please with father with God, you don't have to perform to please he's pleased with you

400
00:38:27.260 --> 00:38:31.060
He loves you for who you are and you've got to get to that place

401
00:38:31.420 --> 00:38:33.780
So whether you know, you're greatly beloved where you know

402
00:38:33.780 --> 00:38:40.700
Your position before God is equal to anyone else and you doesn't doesn't matter if somebody comes along with a with a heart with a

403
00:38:40.700 --> 00:38:43.100
Gifting above yours. You don't get insecure

404
00:38:43.100 --> 00:38:48.740
You don't feel like you're you're look that that you're suddenly rejected because your rejections not based on what you do

405
00:38:48.740 --> 00:38:55.720
It's not based in your in your ministry. It's not based in your function. It's based in your position before God. Okay, let's move on

406
00:38:57.300 --> 00:39:01.780
Ephesians that night to 1920 in the household of God heaven

407
00:39:02.300 --> 00:39:07.660
Foundation so put the word foundation. Sorry, Ernest can't get through at the moment, bro. I'm doing a quarter

408
00:39:07.660 --> 00:39:09.660
Okay

409
00:39:10.580 --> 00:39:18.260
Foundations of the Apostles and the prophets Jesus Christ himself being the chief cornerstone. Okay, so we're building we're giving you knowledge. We're giving you

410
00:39:18.940 --> 00:39:20.540
understanding

411
00:39:20.540 --> 00:39:22.460
of the

412
00:39:22.460 --> 00:39:27.340
Structure of the house of God. Okay. This is all this is not revelation. It's information for many

413
00:39:28.020 --> 00:39:33.780
Okay, Nick going on down there. These are the foundational leadership ministries needed to build the church

414
00:39:34.300 --> 00:39:37.100
according to the pattern that God has given us in the Bible and

415
00:39:37.980 --> 00:39:41.100
1 Corinthians 12 28. Okay, there's some blanks that you've got to fill in here

416
00:39:41.100 --> 00:39:45.300
I'll read them out in and in the church. God has appointed first of all

417
00:39:45.820 --> 00:39:47.220
Apostles

418
00:39:47.220 --> 00:39:49.220
Apostles

419
00:39:49.620 --> 00:39:52.180
And in the church God has appointed

420
00:39:52.900 --> 00:39:57.980
Not me not you not our opinions, but this is God has appointed

421
00:39:59.020 --> 00:40:01.020
first

422
00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:03.000
This is in the church. God has appointed first in the church

423
00:40:03.840 --> 00:40:05.840
Apostles, okay

424
00:40:06.600 --> 00:40:09.560
It doesn't mean if the church here you belong to that

425
00:40:09.560 --> 00:40:16.040
There's a pastor who runs the church or a teacher or an evangelist or a prophet doesn't it doesn't mean okay

426
00:40:16.040 --> 00:40:22.400
Don't suddenly leave your church because there's not a possible leading your church. There's very few churches in this nation being led by Apostles

427
00:40:23.120 --> 00:40:24.400
We'll go we'll come to that

428
00:40:24.400 --> 00:40:28.000
You just stay where you are and learn to serve and be faithful to your pastor

429
00:40:28.040 --> 00:40:30.040
And I'm sure he's a faithful partner

430
00:40:30.880 --> 00:40:37.320
So don't take this out of context. You're just learning so okay. We're in we're doing ABC's wait till we

431
00:40:37.960 --> 00:40:41.240
Yeah, okay and second prophets right and prophets

432
00:40:43.720 --> 00:40:47.320
This is one Corinthians 12 28 third teachers

433
00:40:48.280 --> 00:40:50.280
This is God's structure for his church

434
00:40:50.880 --> 00:40:52.520
teachers

435
00:40:52.520 --> 00:40:54.520
then

436
00:40:54.760 --> 00:40:56.760
Workers of miracles

437
00:40:59.000 --> 00:41:06.360
No miracles me am I are a CLE and also those having gifts of healing

438
00:41:09.280 --> 00:41:10.520
H-e-a-l-i-n-g

439
00:41:10.520 --> 00:41:12.520
those able to help

440
00:41:13.760 --> 00:41:15.320
H-e-l-p

441
00:41:15.320 --> 00:41:18.960
others those with the gifts of administration a

442
00:41:19.880 --> 00:41:21.160
d

443
00:41:21.160 --> 00:41:23.160
m-i-n-i-s

444
00:41:23.800 --> 00:41:25.800
t-r-a-t

445
00:41:25.920 --> 00:41:27.920
A-t-i-o-n

446
00:41:27.920 --> 00:41:29.360
and

447
00:41:29.360 --> 00:41:31.360
those speaking

448
00:41:31.360 --> 00:41:33.360
s-p-e-a-k-i-n-g

449
00:41:33.960 --> 00:41:35.680
speaking in different tongues

450
00:41:35.680 --> 00:41:37.680
So isn't that interesting?

451
00:41:37.960 --> 00:41:39.680
that God

452
00:41:39.680 --> 00:41:41.680
has a pattern for church and

453
00:41:43.040 --> 00:41:50.840
Paul's Paul speaking here, but he's saying from God and the inspiration of the Holy Spirit in the church God has appointed first

454
00:41:51.480 --> 00:41:56.200
So in the church in the church, okay first the church throughout the church

455
00:41:56.840 --> 00:41:59.080
God has appointed first

456
00:41:59.640 --> 00:42:05.960
Apostle then prophets then teachers then workers of miracles man

457
00:42:07.880 --> 00:42:12.000
What a long way the church has come from away from this pattern

458
00:42:12.800 --> 00:42:18.920
How do you see miracles and healings in your church every week all through the day all through the week?

459
00:42:19.160 --> 00:42:22.800
Not just on Sunday, I mean that's that's the expression

460
00:42:22.800 --> 00:42:26.920
That's that's what the giftings of the church and the church is meant to be operating

461
00:42:26.920 --> 00:42:29.160
There's going to be this is just normal miracles

462
00:42:29.160 --> 00:42:31.800
I mean, I thank God for the gift that he's given me us

463
00:42:32.040 --> 00:42:36.880
there's been over a hundred testimonies come in over the last 18 days or less of

464
00:42:37.320 --> 00:42:42.360
Healings and about a third of them. I'd say are miracles instantaneous healings. This is normal

465
00:42:42.360 --> 00:42:47.600
How come it's just only a few of us doing this in this nation. You should be doing it. Well, maybe not

466
00:42:47.680 --> 00:42:51.680
What's your function if you're not a worker of miracles or you know, don't try to be one

467
00:42:51.680 --> 00:42:56.640
But you are somebody important your function and the body of Christ is so necessary

468
00:42:57.840 --> 00:43:04.360
Let's go down to the next page 1 Corinthians 12 28 and God has appointed these in the church. We've already done that

469
00:43:05.240 --> 00:43:07.480
Okay, so come into a close whanau

470
00:43:08.960 --> 00:43:10.960
Other leadership roles in the church

471
00:43:10.960 --> 00:43:17.280
Okay, Ephesians 4 11 and 13 it was he Jesus who gave some to be Apostles some to be

472
00:43:17.960 --> 00:43:20.760
Prophets. Okay, we're in prophets

473
00:43:22.600 --> 00:43:25.800
And some to be evangelists put in evangelists

474
00:43:27.880 --> 00:43:31.080
And some to be pastors put in pastors

475
00:43:34.040 --> 00:43:36.040
And teachers put in teachers

476
00:43:36.640 --> 00:43:43.680
So God gives these giftings these functions to the body price now the question is why why does God give this

477
00:43:44.560 --> 00:43:48.840
This is why to prepare gods of people for works of service

478
00:43:49.840 --> 00:43:54.240
So they're given for you and me to prepare us for the works of service

479
00:43:54.920 --> 00:43:58.520
So that the body of Christ may be built right and built

480
00:43:58.520 --> 00:44:04.840
So the function the function of these giftings is not to oppress us hold you down or me down is to help build us up

481
00:44:04.840 --> 00:44:09.960
It's how us to be built up not down push down build up

482
00:44:12.200 --> 00:44:15.720
Until how long how long will get to be built up? Well until we

483
00:44:16.400 --> 00:44:21.760
Build up, okay, so the function of these giftings is not to oppress us

484
00:44:21.760 --> 00:44:27.280
Hold you down or me down is to help build us up as help us to be built up

485
00:44:27.360 --> 00:44:31.200
Well until we all reach unity are we there yet? Nah

486
00:44:32.080 --> 00:44:34.000
all reach unity

487
00:44:34.000 --> 00:44:36.000
to the in the faith in

488
00:44:36.600 --> 00:44:40.120
the in the knowledge of the Son of God and become

489
00:44:40.880 --> 00:44:44.280
Mature right and mature become mature

490
00:44:45.040 --> 00:44:47.040
Wow

491
00:44:48.120 --> 00:44:51.540
Attaining to the whole measure of the fullness right and fullness

492
00:44:52.800 --> 00:44:54.800
the fullness of Christ

493
00:44:55.400 --> 00:44:56.560
so

494
00:44:56.560 --> 00:44:58.480
the fivefold

495
00:44:58.480 --> 00:45:00.480
gifting the fivefold function

496
00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:05.320
Apostle, prophet, evangelist, pastor, and teacher is given to build us up, not push

497
00:45:05.320 --> 00:45:06.320
us down.

498
00:45:06.320 --> 00:45:07.320
To build us up.

499
00:45:07.320 --> 00:45:08.320
Why?

500
00:45:08.320 --> 00:45:15.000
That we might be built up until we reach unity in the faith, until we come to a place of

501
00:45:15.000 --> 00:45:22.520
spiritual academic maturity, that we are no longer infants, babies, being tossed to and

502
00:45:22.520 --> 00:45:28.960
fro by every wind of doctrine and every opinion of who they say this and they say that.

503
00:45:28.960 --> 00:45:31.480
That's why the fivefold is given.

504
00:45:31.480 --> 00:45:35.640
It was him who gave some to be apostles and some to be prophets, some to be evangelists,

505
00:45:35.640 --> 00:45:37.360
some to be pastors, some to be teachers.

506
00:45:37.360 --> 00:45:42.120
So I'm just going to tie over there right now because what I'm seeing online is there's

507
00:45:42.120 --> 00:45:45.080
a lot of people who don't have the notes, okay?

508
00:45:45.080 --> 00:45:49.560
So listen, if you're reading a book, right?

509
00:45:49.560 --> 00:45:56.280
And it's got, I don't know, 10 chapters, and as you're reading your book and you decide

510
00:45:56.280 --> 00:46:01.720
to miss a chapter or two, then when you finish the book, you're not going to have the full

511
00:46:01.720 --> 00:46:05.000
understanding of what the story's about.

512
00:46:05.000 --> 00:46:10.160
Because what you have taken, missing one or two chapters, what you read at the end is

513
00:46:10.160 --> 00:46:16.640
out of context of the foundation of the other teachings, you see, of the other chapters.

514
00:46:16.640 --> 00:46:21.840
You wouldn't read a book and miss out two or three or four or five chapters and get

515
00:46:21.840 --> 00:46:26.040
to the end of the story and only have half an understanding of what the story's about.

516
00:46:26.040 --> 00:46:32.760
Same with these sessions, I would encourage you to start from day one.

517
00:46:32.760 --> 00:46:38.520
Because if you're just going to come straight on here, chances are some of you are going

518
00:46:38.520 --> 00:46:41.120
to take this out of the context of what I'm speaking.

519
00:46:41.120 --> 00:46:43.760
You haven't heard my heart, my spirit, you don't know my story.

520
00:46:43.760 --> 00:46:49.760
And so, you know, just a bit of intelligence would be start at page one, start at day one,

521
00:46:49.760 --> 00:46:51.720
and then day two, and then day three.

522
00:46:51.720 --> 00:46:55.760
Because the teachings I'm giving are sequential, they're in a sequence, okay?

523
00:46:55.760 --> 00:46:59.240
And each sequence is building line upon line, precept upon precept.

524
00:46:59.240 --> 00:47:02.720
So if you're watching this stuff, and you're just grabbing a unit here and a unit there,

525
00:47:02.720 --> 00:47:07.040
kaiti pai, God bless you, I hope it blesses you, I hope it encourages you, I'm sure it

526
00:47:07.040 --> 00:47:08.040
will.

527
00:47:08.040 --> 00:47:12.760
But if you want to be a history maker, if you want to really do something to bring change,

528
00:47:12.760 --> 00:47:16.920
not just to bring change to your life, or to change a couple of people around your life,

529
00:47:16.920 --> 00:47:21.160
but to bring change to a nation, then we've got to be serious about this.

530
00:47:21.160 --> 00:47:27.360
And realize in order to help bring change to the nation, there has to be reformation.

531
00:47:27.360 --> 00:47:32.560
Reformation is coming to the body of Christ, reformation, which will lead in, I believe,

532
00:47:32.560 --> 00:47:34.920
to social transformation.

533
00:47:34.920 --> 00:47:40.360
And if we're seriously wanting to see something done in our time in history, then, you know,

534
00:47:40.360 --> 00:47:44.440
we need to upskill, we need to upgrade, we need to do this stuff.

535
00:47:44.440 --> 00:47:48.560
And so the stuff that I'm teaching, it's only a drop in the ocean.

536
00:47:48.560 --> 00:47:54.440
There's other amazing apostles and prophets I'm working in collaboration with, Benji,

537
00:47:54.440 --> 00:47:58.800
and Joseph, and Matt, and on the embassy.

538
00:47:58.800 --> 00:48:03.320
And hey, we're just a bunch of guys with fire and passion in our hearts.

539
00:48:03.320 --> 00:48:05.760
And we just want to, you know, help change the world.

540
00:48:05.760 --> 00:48:09.120
That's all, nothing, nothing major, nothing big, just change the world.

541
00:48:09.120 --> 00:48:15.340
Okay, just to make history, to shake some cities and to change some nations.

542
00:48:15.340 --> 00:48:16.340
That's all.

543
00:48:17.180 --> 00:48:21.140
Jesus said, the works I do, you will do also.

544
00:48:21.140 --> 00:48:23.140
We can play a part.

545
00:48:23.140 --> 00:48:27.180
And I may not be able to change the world, but I can make a world of change with what

546
00:48:27.180 --> 00:48:28.620
I've got, okay?

547
00:48:28.620 --> 00:48:31.660
I may not be able to change the world, but I can make a world of change with what I've

548
00:48:31.660 --> 00:48:32.660
got.

549
00:48:32.660 --> 00:48:35.900
Same for you, you may not be able to change the world, but you and I together, we can

550
00:48:35.900 --> 00:48:40.740
make a world of change, which in turn can result in a changed world.

551
00:48:40.740 --> 00:48:45.060
So whanau, I'm going to leave it at that, I'm going to stop there.

552
00:48:45.060 --> 00:48:49.260
We're just obviously not going to have time to do this kōrero, I'll just leave that up

553
00:48:49.260 --> 00:48:50.580
there for when we do have time.

554
00:48:50.580 --> 00:48:54.500
I would think we have probably two or three more of these to go.

555
00:48:54.500 --> 00:49:00.460
And so going back to, don't be missing slots, because those of you who have missed it, you've

556
00:49:00.460 --> 00:49:02.100
missed the notes.

557
00:49:02.100 --> 00:49:03.900
And I can't help you there.

558
00:49:03.900 --> 00:49:08.060
You'll have to dig them out somewhere.

559
00:49:08.060 --> 00:49:10.540
I don't know where they are, they'll be up there in the embassy somewhere.

560
00:49:10.540 --> 00:49:15.420
So Benji, I'm going to ask him to put up the next two set of notes.

561
00:49:15.420 --> 00:49:20.900
And so it's up to you, your hanga, seek them out, find where they are, and print them out

562
00:49:20.900 --> 00:49:25.420
or do whatever you need to do in order to be able to go through this with me.

563
00:49:25.420 --> 00:49:29.620
Hareluya, this is just a taste of things that are coming.

564
00:49:29.620 --> 00:49:32.140
After the 30 days, what are we on?

565
00:49:32.140 --> 00:49:34.340
Day 19, 20.

566
00:49:34.340 --> 00:49:37.980
So there's 11 more days to go.

567
00:49:37.980 --> 00:49:42.300
What's after 30 days?

568
00:49:42.300 --> 00:49:52.420
So I have been planning for a couple of years now to do Wari Activist course online.

569
00:49:52.420 --> 00:49:59.300
And it's not the same as the two day Wari Activist course, which I've got, I've postponed

570
00:49:59.300 --> 00:49:59.980
a few of them.

571
00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:04.040
Hamilton coming up, there's Christchurch coming up, going to Christchurch twice,

572
00:50:04.040 --> 00:50:11.040
there's Ruakaka, there's West Auckland. So I've got some Wari Activist

573
00:50:11.040 --> 00:50:15.560
course physical teacher where I come along and I give two days of impartation

574
00:50:15.560 --> 00:50:19.760
and it's the sum of the stuff you're getting, some of that gets shared but

575
00:50:19.760 --> 00:50:24.920
this is activating the physical practical applications where I teach

576
00:50:24.920 --> 00:50:28.480
people how to begin to operate in a level of faith of releasing glory,

577
00:50:28.600 --> 00:50:32.280
releasing miracles that I can't do online. I just can't do that online, it's

578
00:50:32.280 --> 00:50:38.680
just impossible. I've got to be there. And so I'm still doing these two-day

579
00:50:38.680 --> 00:50:43.120
courses and I'm just assessing whether I'll keep doing, whether

580
00:50:43.120 --> 00:50:49.480
these will be the last that I do in New Zealand. But anyway, what I am

581
00:50:49.480 --> 00:50:54.000
doing is I want to reach more people with this teaching and I want to

582
00:50:54.000 --> 00:50:57.840
empower the body of Christ, really I do. We've got to change this nation, then I'm

583
00:50:57.840 --> 00:51:02.160
going to do my part to raise up the leaders that are needed to help

584
00:51:02.160 --> 00:51:07.000
change this nation, the leadership in this nation. And it's not just church

585
00:51:07.000 --> 00:51:11.760
leaders, it's leaders out there, entrepreneurial, it's those in

586
00:51:11.760 --> 00:51:19.000
politics, it's those in media, social and not just social media but media and the

587
00:51:19.000 --> 00:51:25.720
arts and health and education and especially the arts and how to use

588
00:51:25.720 --> 00:51:31.080
the arts to share the Kingdom of God. There's so many incredible people out

589
00:51:31.080 --> 00:51:34.560
there with incredible giftings and some of you, all you need is a bit of

590
00:51:34.560 --> 00:51:38.640
encouragement. Now I won't become your pastor and I will in part become a

591
00:51:38.640 --> 00:51:43.960
mentor to you and I'll help share principles and patterns and prophetic

592
00:51:43.960 --> 00:51:48.160
words and to offer you to get there. So I'm looking at starting this, it's

593
00:51:48.160 --> 00:51:55.080
going to be a seven-week online warrior activist course, seven weeks. And so the

594
00:51:55.080 --> 00:51:59.240
deeper level than what I'm doing here and that way you will get notes, okay,

595
00:51:59.240 --> 00:52:03.560
they'll be sent to you, you'll be writing them out and so forth. This is just my

596
00:52:03.560 --> 00:52:07.920
effort to to bless the body of Christ with what I've got, the little I've got,

597
00:52:07.920 --> 00:52:11.480
with the resource I have. So I'm just doing this, I can do this freely. But I'm

598
00:52:11.480 --> 00:52:17.400
going to do a seven-week warrior activist course and I'll let you know as it's

599
00:52:17.400 --> 00:52:20.960
coming and to those who want to register to that, you'll be able to register for

600
00:52:20.960 --> 00:52:25.720
that. And there will be a fee for that of course because I'm going to be

601
00:52:25.720 --> 00:52:31.360
printing off material, sending stuff around and also it's, well, I'll do

602
00:52:31.360 --> 00:52:38.080
teaching soon and I'll talk about poverty mentality, about victim mentality.

603
00:52:38.080 --> 00:52:42.240
Poverty mentality always wants to receive something for nothing but never

604
00:52:42.240 --> 00:52:45.440
wants to give anything back. It wants to reap but it doesn't want to sow

605
00:52:45.440 --> 00:52:49.480
and that's a poverty mentality. And this nation has got a bad poverty

606
00:52:49.480 --> 00:52:55.800
mentality. It's got a poor poverty mentality and if it sees other Kiwis

607
00:52:55.800 --> 00:52:59.400
doing well, often the comment is, oh well, who do they think they are? Where did

608
00:52:59.400 --> 00:53:02.800
they get that? Or where did they get the money to do that? And it's just a

609
00:53:02.800 --> 00:53:07.440
terrible, terrible poverty mentality, victim mentality. And so we need to smash

610
00:53:07.440 --> 00:53:10.800
that out of the way. We need to applaud people who are doing well in our nation.

611
00:53:10.800 --> 00:53:14.760
We need to applaud people who are doing good. We need to applaud people who are

612
00:53:14.760 --> 00:53:18.960
prospering, not pull them down because it offends our little religious

613
00:53:18.960 --> 00:53:22.440
mindset. So I'm going to be doing teaching on that and it's only those

614
00:53:22.440 --> 00:53:25.840
who've got that stuff out of their way, who don't have that, who've got sonship

615
00:53:25.840 --> 00:53:29.000
in their heart and don't have poverty in their heart, you'll want to be part of

616
00:53:29.000 --> 00:53:32.760
the seven-week course. Then from the seven-week course, I'm building this up

617
00:53:32.760 --> 00:53:36.960
because I'm using it like a, to draw in those who are carrying these giftings. I

618
00:53:36.960 --> 00:53:40.640
want to know who you are and I want to know how we can, how I can connect to you

619
00:53:40.640 --> 00:53:45.280
and how I can give my best to you to help bring you up into the, which is

620
00:53:45.280 --> 00:53:53.560
after the seven-week warrior discipleship course online. There's a

621
00:53:53.560 --> 00:53:57.800
thing I'm working on and it's going to be called the World Changes Academy, okay.

622
00:53:57.800 --> 00:54:02.760
Like a lot of what Benji's doing with Embassy, we're already doing it. I mean

623
00:54:02.760 --> 00:54:08.040
you can never have enough of a good thing because there's millions in the

624
00:54:08.040 --> 00:54:11.800
world. There's billions of, there's millions or billions, a billion

625
00:54:11.800 --> 00:54:16.680
Christians, okay, at least and there are millions of believers out there and we

626
00:54:16.680 --> 00:54:22.040
all need, we all need to be equipped and Joseph does a training that I can't

627
00:54:22.040 --> 00:54:25.720
do and Benji does a ministry that I can't do and Matt reaches people that I

628
00:54:25.720 --> 00:54:31.120
can't reach and I can put my part and reach you, God's people, in a way that

629
00:54:31.120 --> 00:54:34.200
they can't reach. We need one another but we acknowledge each other's function and

630
00:54:34.200 --> 00:54:37.840
gifting. We want to use it to the best of our ability to build you up, to build

631
00:54:37.840 --> 00:54:41.880
God's people up, the sons of God, daughters of God, whom creation is groaning and

632
00:54:41.880 --> 00:54:45.840
travailing for the appearing of the sons and daughters. We want creation to begin

633
00:54:45.840 --> 00:54:50.880
to hear your footprints on the earth and instead of travailing, it begins to say, sigh,

634
00:54:50.880 --> 00:54:56.680
ah, at last the sons and daughters of God are here, hallelujah, and this healing

635
00:54:56.680 --> 00:55:01.360
begins to come upon our land, healing upon our people, healing upon our

636
00:55:00.000 --> 00:55:05.120
upon our nation, as the kingdom begins to invade every sphere of influence, every sphere

637
00:55:05.120 --> 00:55:07.800
of strata in our society.

638
00:55:07.800 --> 00:55:13.760
And so, that's going to be the History Makers Academy.

639
00:55:13.760 --> 00:55:17.080
That's going to be a 12-month course, okay?

640
00:55:17.080 --> 00:55:21.000
And don't think, oh, I'm going to sign up for that.

641
00:55:21.000 --> 00:55:23.320
There's a price to pay, okay?

642
00:55:23.320 --> 00:55:27.280
And so, I'm just letting you know in advance, that's what's after 30 days.

643
00:55:27.280 --> 00:55:32.520
Where do we go after the 30 days of Free Wari Activist Course Teaching?

644
00:55:32.520 --> 00:55:34.400
So there you go, whānau.

645
00:55:34.400 --> 00:55:36.440
I'm going to pray for those now who need healing.

646
00:55:36.440 --> 00:55:40.800
I'm going to pray for those who need a touch from God, actually.

647
00:55:40.800 --> 00:55:43.280
I don't usually pray for those who need a touch from God.

648
00:55:43.280 --> 00:55:48.840
I only generally pray for those who need healing, who physically need physical healing.

649
00:55:48.840 --> 00:55:50.080
That's the gift I carry.

650
00:55:50.080 --> 00:55:55.000
It's the healing of the physical bodies, it's the casting out of demons.

651
00:55:55.000 --> 00:55:59.840
When I pray and lay hands on people, it's for impartation, other than for healing with

652
00:55:59.840 --> 00:56:00.840
laying on of hands.

653
00:56:00.840 --> 00:56:07.800
So what I do, I pray, my ministry is for results, okay?

654
00:56:07.800 --> 00:56:09.840
It's not just for a nice little feeling, nice touch.

655
00:56:09.840 --> 00:56:12.160
You can get somebody else to pray for you for that.

656
00:56:12.160 --> 00:56:15.520
I don't pray for little touches.

657
00:56:15.520 --> 00:56:20.720
My prayers bless, but I pray for change, I pray for physical change, I pray for change

658
00:56:20.720 --> 00:56:21.720
in reality.

659
00:56:21.720 --> 00:56:22.720
I change for turnarounds.

660
00:56:22.720 --> 00:56:25.760
I change for diagnosis and prognosis to be turned around.

661
00:56:25.760 --> 00:56:31.320
I pray for the physical man, the body, and the soul, and the encouragement by the spirit.

662
00:56:31.320 --> 00:56:35.520
So if that's you, you're needing physical healing right now, a physical touch, here's

663
00:56:35.520 --> 00:56:36.880
the deal, okay?

664
00:56:36.880 --> 00:56:40.360
Jesus is going to touch you, Jesus is going to heal you.

665
00:56:40.360 --> 00:56:43.200
Some of you will be healed, you'll feel slightly better.

666
00:56:43.200 --> 00:56:46.960
And hour by hour throughout the day, you're going to feel like you're just recovering

667
00:56:46.960 --> 00:56:47.960
more and more.

668
00:56:47.960 --> 00:56:48.960
That's called recovery.

669
00:56:48.960 --> 00:56:52.760
That's the gifts of healing, operating, recovery, recovery, recovery.

670
00:56:52.760 --> 00:56:56.160
And others, when I pray for you, you're going to instantaneously, the pain's going to go

671
00:56:56.160 --> 00:56:57.160
instantly.

672
00:56:57.160 --> 00:56:58.160
That's a miracle.

673
00:56:58.160 --> 00:56:59.880
That's the working of miracles.

674
00:56:59.880 --> 00:57:02.080
And so here's the deal.

675
00:57:02.080 --> 00:57:06.960
That's a gift that God has given me freely that I'm going to freely release to you, okay?

676
00:57:06.960 --> 00:57:09.240
Freely I've received, freely I'm going to give.

677
00:57:09.240 --> 00:57:14.080
Now you're getting it for free, and so freely you should honour Jesus.

678
00:57:14.080 --> 00:57:16.160
To testify is to glorify.

679
00:57:16.160 --> 00:57:19.800
So the moment he touches you, the moment you are healed, the moment you receive that

680
00:57:19.800 --> 00:57:24.960
miracle, I want you to reply with three answers to three questions.

681
00:57:24.960 --> 00:57:27.360
What did you have?

682
00:57:27.360 --> 00:57:29.320
How long did you have it?

683
00:57:29.320 --> 00:57:30.840
How do you know you're healed?

684
00:57:30.840 --> 00:57:33.560
Just those three answers.

685
00:57:33.560 --> 00:57:37.560
Just share with me what you had, how long you had it, and how you know you're healed.

686
00:57:37.560 --> 00:57:40.200
To testify is to glorify, okay?

687
00:57:40.200 --> 00:57:45.200
So the moment Jesus touches you, heals you, does that miracle upon you, opens that air,

688
00:57:45.240 --> 00:57:51.760
opens those eyes, clears away that cataract, takes all that pain, that arthritic pain out

689
00:57:51.760 --> 00:57:56.000
of your throat, out of your back, out of your stomach, out of your esophagus, out of your

690
00:57:56.000 --> 00:57:57.000
side.

691
00:57:57.000 --> 00:58:02.400
The moment it has disappeared, you freely testify for the glory of Jesus.

692
00:58:02.400 --> 00:58:03.400
Okay, Te Pai?

693
00:58:03.400 --> 00:58:06.080
Okay, whānau, here we go, about to pray now.

694
00:58:06.080 --> 00:58:11.960
Get ready to lean forward like this into the presence of Jesus, and touch the screen, and

695
00:58:11.960 --> 00:58:15.520
as you touch the screen, you touch my hand, I'm going to touch your hand in the name of

696
00:58:15.520 --> 00:58:16.520
Jesus.

697
00:58:16.520 --> 00:58:17.520
Are you ready?

698
00:58:17.520 --> 00:58:21.080
Okay, this is my function, it's the gifting on me.

699
00:58:21.080 --> 00:58:23.200
It's not me, it's the gifting on me.

700
00:58:23.200 --> 00:58:25.720
It's Jesus flowing through me, okay?

701
00:58:25.720 --> 00:58:26.720
It's not me.

702
00:58:26.720 --> 00:58:29.680
I don't have a great gift of, it's just Jesus, right?

703
00:58:29.680 --> 00:58:30.680
It's Jesus.

704
00:58:30.680 --> 00:58:33.760
I'm lifting up Jesus' ministry, not my ministry, okay?

705
00:58:33.760 --> 00:58:35.600
I'm lifting up His ministry.

706
00:58:35.600 --> 00:58:37.600
His ministry is with you always.

707
00:58:37.600 --> 00:58:39.520
Mine's only with you online, so to speak.

708
00:58:39.520 --> 00:58:40.520
Are you ready?

709
00:58:40.840 --> 00:58:48.400
In the name of Jesus of Nazareth, I will invite you to lean forward into the wonderful presence

710
00:58:48.400 --> 00:58:50.400
of Yeshua.

711
00:58:50.400 --> 00:58:54.280
The wonderful presence, Yeshua HaMashiach.

712
00:58:54.280 --> 00:58:57.480
The wonderful presence of Yehudaite.

713
00:58:57.480 --> 00:59:01.680
The wonderful presence of Yeshu, bravo.

714
00:59:01.680 --> 00:59:05.320
The wonderful presence of Jesus Christ.

715
00:59:05.320 --> 00:59:09.720
He's known by different terms and different languages, different names, but He's the same

716
00:59:09.880 --> 00:59:11.880
yesterday, today, forever.

717
00:59:11.880 --> 00:59:15.360
I want you to lean into His presence on the count of three.

718
00:59:15.360 --> 00:59:20.760
And as you do that, that's your point of connection, that's your act of faith.

719
00:59:20.760 --> 00:59:24.720
Touch the screen and the power of Jesus Christ come upon you.

720
00:59:24.720 --> 00:59:30.080
And as many as touched Him was made healed, was made whole back then, 2,000 years ago.

721
00:59:30.080 --> 00:59:33.880
The same Jesus that they touched then will make you whole.

722
00:59:33.880 --> 00:59:37.720
In the name of Jesus, and lean forward on the count of three.

723
00:59:38.720 --> 00:59:39.720
Two.

724
00:59:42.720 --> 00:59:43.720
Three.

725
00:59:44.720 --> 00:59:47.720
Lean forward, touch the screen if you can.

726
00:59:47.720 --> 00:59:48.720
Right now.

727
00:59:48.720 --> 00:59:54.720
Father, I thank you as my friend is touching, as I'm touching my hand, as I touch the screen,

728
00:59:54.720 --> 00:59:57.720
it's your hand Lord, there's a three-fold cord here.

729
00:59:57.720 --> 00:59:59.720
There's not just my hand, there's your hand.

730
01:00:00.000 --> 01:00:01.800
their hand in my hand.

731
01:00:02.880 --> 01:00:04.720
And I thank you for that power,

732
01:00:04.720 --> 01:00:06.560
like the electricity of heaven,

733
01:00:07.840 --> 01:00:10.780
that's generated by the love of God, the Father,

734
01:00:11.700 --> 01:00:13.960
exuding through this body right now.

735
01:00:13.960 --> 01:00:15.080
I thank you, Father.

736
01:00:15.080 --> 01:00:17.200
It's literally driving out the pain.

737
01:00:17.200 --> 01:00:19.800
It's literally driving out that sluggishness,

738
01:00:21.640 --> 01:00:24.680
that sort of buildup, that blockage is just,

739
01:00:24.680 --> 01:00:27.680
boom, be open now in the name of Jesus.

740
01:00:27.680 --> 01:00:29.440
Yes, I thank you, Lord.

741
01:00:29.440 --> 01:00:32.160
It's just open that, that Lord,

742
01:00:32.160 --> 01:00:35.040
let that, Lord, let that,

743
01:00:36.840 --> 01:00:41.160
that sore just, Lord, just be healed right now

744
01:00:41.160 --> 01:00:43.480
as it just opens up and all that pus

745
01:00:43.480 --> 01:00:45.360
just flows out right now.

746
01:00:45.360 --> 01:00:47.320
Thank you, Jesus.

747
01:00:47.320 --> 01:00:49.800
All that infirmity, all that infection

748
01:00:49.800 --> 01:00:51.320
just flows out right now.

749
01:00:51.320 --> 01:00:53.080
Thank you, Jesus.

750
01:00:53.080 --> 01:00:55.800
Give you praise, Lord, I give you praise.

751
01:00:55.800 --> 01:00:58.200
Thank you, Jesus, for the fire of your presence,

752
01:00:58.200 --> 01:01:00.280
