00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.000
What a, what an honor, what a treat, what a delight to be with you this morning.

2
00:00:07.000 --> 00:00:10.000
It's morning my time.

3
00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:19.000
I am crazy excited about what is going to happen right now.

4
00:00:19.000 --> 00:00:21.000
We have a huge day.

5
00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:24.000
Just got some amazing news, surprise news.

6
00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:27.000
So if you don't know my spiritual mom, Nancy Cohen,

7
00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:30.000
she's a world changer and she's agreed.

8
00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:32.000
She's one of the busiest people in the world,

9
00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:36.000
but she's agreed to jump on board with us for a live interview at 2pm

10
00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:40.000
today. So that is going to be wild.

11
00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:44.000
Yeah. So I'm, let me just do a couple of quick tech things,

12
00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:48.000
but as you're jumping on, whether you were jumping on live or delayed,

13
00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:51.000
I just want to say it's such an honor to have you with us.

14
00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:54.000
So thank you for, thank you for jumping on board.

15
00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:59.000
Thank you for being a part of what's happening here.

16
00:00:59.000 --> 00:01:02.000
And in the, in the comments,

17
00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:05.000
why don't you drop something that's that's stood out something that's been

18
00:01:05.000 --> 00:01:08.000
of value for you so far.

19
00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:13.000
Let me know if you enjoyed the interview with Todd Weatherly

20
00:01:13.000 --> 00:01:15.000
yesterday, pastor Todd Weatherly from Australia,

21
00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:18.000
phenomenal move of God happening there.

22
00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:22.000
I just love what God's doing with those guys.

23
00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:26.000
So let me know if you got to catch that. And if you did,

24
00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:29.000
what did you love about it? That'd be cool to hear.

25
00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:33.000
And here we go.

26
00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:36.000
Just got one little thing I'm doing here.

27
00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:42.000
So this session is,

28
00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:46.000
it is going to be intense. Now I promised you as well.

29
00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:50.000
I promised you that I would show you a picture. So yesterday I promised you,

30
00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:51.000
here we go.

31
00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:53.000
All the tech stuff is done and everything's happening like it should be.

32
00:01:53.000 --> 00:01:57.000
But yesterday I promised you that I would show you a picture of something

33
00:01:57.000 --> 00:02:00.000
awesome. And I'm just about to do that.

34
00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:05.000
Just had to turn my heater off.

35
00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:09.000
Cause it's going to get hot in here and it's going to be pretty glorious.

36
00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:13.000
So I'm going to just in one moment,

37
00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:18.000
I'm going to share with you a very exciting picture about

38
00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:22.000
just a photo of something God's done and we're going to get into it.

39
00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:26.000
So this session is called those who disciple

40
00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:30.000
nations. And once again, I just want to welcome and honor everyone.

41
00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:34.000
Thank you for being a part of this, whether you're live or delayed,

42
00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:36.000
it is an honor. So drop in the comments, you know,

43
00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:40.000
where you are from what time it is and what you're getting out of this

44
00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:41.000
adventure.

45
00:02:41.000 --> 00:02:46.000
So I don't know if you know much about

46
00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:48.000
Aotearoa New Zealand, but that's where I'm based.

47
00:02:48.000 --> 00:02:50.000
I'm based in Aotearoa, New Zealand,

48
00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:55.000
and there are so many prophecies about New Zealand being an East gate,

49
00:02:55.000 --> 00:02:57.000
right? So we, one of the first places,

50
00:02:57.000 --> 00:03:00.000
really the first country in the world to see the sun,

51
00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:03.000
our good friend Papa Norm in Gisborne,

52
00:03:03.000 --> 00:03:06.000
they're basically the first city in the world to see the sun.

53
00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:09.000
And so we talk often, especially a few years ago,

54
00:03:09.000 --> 00:03:14.000
there was this real resurgence in this word about the East gate and about

55
00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:18.000
how God was going to take something from here, from the East gate.

56
00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:21.000
And he was going to just blow it up around the world.

57
00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:24.000
And there's many prophecies like that about New Zealand and not,

58
00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:26.000
if you don't know, New Zealand has a revival history.

59
00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:30.000
So in the 1800s, when the gospel came here,

60
00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:32.000
basically the second wave of the gospel coming here,

61
00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:37.000
it exploded in revival and 50 to 75% roughly.

62
00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:41.000
Some people actually say high of the moldy people are converted to

63
00:03:41.000 --> 00:03:44.000
Christianity in a massive move of God signs, wonders,

64
00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:47.000
and miracles and the whole nation was ablaze with revival fire.

65
00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:52.000
Now, when we started talking about this,

66
00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:59.000
when we started talking about this whole East gate move,

67
00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:00.000
something that happened, you know,

68
00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:02.000
we started talking about these prophecies, something happened.

69
00:04:02.000 --> 00:04:06.000
And so I'm going to share my screen with you and show you a picture and

70
00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:07.000
tell you a story of,

71
00:04:07.000 --> 00:04:11.000
of just an amazing testimony of something that happened in our town when we

72
00:04:11.000 --> 00:04:13.000
started talking about this. Okay.

73
00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:17.000
So hopefully you can see this reasonably well.

74
00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:22.000
And it's kind of faint, but it's just, it's just taken on an iPhone,

75
00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:24.000
but you should be able to see that it basically,

76
00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:28.000
it looks like the sunrise, right? Pretty obvious.

77
00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:31.000
You can see those rays there. So this,

78
00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:33.000
the interesting thing about this photo, right,

79
00:04:33.000 --> 00:04:37.000
is that this photo was taken in the evening. Okay.

80
00:04:37.000 --> 00:04:40.000
So what's actually happening here, this is,

81
00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:45.000
this photo was taken in the evening and that's facing east and facing

82
00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:49.000
west. The sun is sitting at the same time. Okay.

83
00:04:49.000 --> 00:04:52.000
So I don't know if you've ever had that, uh, but happened before,

84
00:04:52.000 --> 00:04:54.000
but in our town, when we were talking about this East gate thing,

85
00:04:54.000 --> 00:04:56.000
this happened multiple times.

86
00:04:56.000 --> 00:04:59.000
I got the whole town talking like, what the heck is going on?

87
00:04:59.000 --> 00:05:00.000
Because the.

88
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:05.680
sun was setting in the west and while the sun was going down over the mountains to the west,

89
00:05:05.680 --> 00:05:13.280
we would have these rays shining out from the east. And so we just took this as a sign and a

90
00:05:13.280 --> 00:05:19.280
wonder of God just confirming his word about this phenomenal move of God that he wants to release

91
00:05:19.920 --> 00:05:24.720
through the east gate from Aotearoa New Zealand to the nations. Like I said, this happened multiple

92
00:05:24.720 --> 00:05:29.040
times. It was very, very exciting. Got the whole town buzzing like, what's happening? So I thought

93
00:05:29.040 --> 00:05:36.720
I'd share that with you as I promised I would. And I hope that's an encouragement to you of just

94
00:05:36.720 --> 00:05:42.720
the cool things that God's doing all around the world. Now, when you start stepping into alignment

95
00:05:42.720 --> 00:05:50.000
with God's word and the prophetic destiny on your life, when you start aligning, powerful things can

96
00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:54.960
start happening. You start putting your agreement with the prophetic words that God has released,

97
00:05:54.960 --> 00:05:59.760
powerful things can start happening. So another example of that is, you know, actually around a

98
00:05:59.760 --> 00:06:07.200
similar time to that, we actually got a hold of this word that came out of the Azusa Street

99
00:06:07.200 --> 00:06:13.760
revival. So from 1906 to 1909, there was an outpouring in Azusa Street, downtown LA,

100
00:06:13.760 --> 00:06:20.400
and the supernatural glory cloud, right? The Shekinah glory cloud was there for basically

101
00:06:20.400 --> 00:06:26.960
every day for three and a half years. So they just had this constant Shekinah glory cloud. The kids

102
00:06:26.960 --> 00:06:32.160
would come, right? The kids would come into the meetings and there'd be so much glory. But when

103
00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:35.920
people looked at their feet, they couldn't look at the ground, they couldn't see their own feet

104
00:06:35.920 --> 00:06:40.560
because the Shekinah glory all around them. But the kids would play hide and go seek in the glory.

105
00:06:40.560 --> 00:06:46.640
But Charles Parham and William Seymour both prophesied at the end of that outpouring that

106
00:06:46.640 --> 00:06:51.360
in around a hundred years, God will begin. He'll start the beginning process of restoring the

107
00:06:51.360 --> 00:06:57.280
Shekinah glory back to the church in an even greater measure. So we each played this testimony,

108
00:06:57.280 --> 00:07:03.120
played this prophecy in church. And then one of our guys, he went home and a Shekinah glory cloud

109
00:07:03.120 --> 00:07:08.240
appeared in his home that went down his hallway and then went into his room and then just kind

110
00:07:08.240 --> 00:07:13.360
of dissipated. And he shared this and I was like, whoa, Shekinah glory cloud, this is wild. And so

111
00:07:13.360 --> 00:07:18.000
I was just like, wow, God, what is this? I just really leaned in and he said, I see a cloud,

112
00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:22.800
the size of a man's fist. And if you know the story of Elijah, you know, get ready because

113
00:07:22.800 --> 00:07:28.640
it's about to rain. And then multiple times since then with our crew, in our community,

114
00:07:28.640 --> 00:07:35.120
we've had Shekinah glory clouds turn up. Once it turned up in one of our guys room,

115
00:07:35.120 --> 00:07:39.440
the Shekinah glory cloud turned up in the middle of the night. It was so bright. It was like Matthew

116
00:07:39.440 --> 00:07:45.040
17, where a bright shining cloud appeared on the Mount of Transfiguration, Matthew 17. Well,

117
00:07:45.040 --> 00:07:49.280
this bright shining cloud appeared in his room in the middle of the night and just lit up his whole

118
00:07:49.280 --> 00:07:56.560
room and just blasted him in glory. So this is the power of agreement. Placing agreement releases

119
00:07:56.560 --> 00:08:01.600
signs and wonders and miracles. This is just a foretaste, just a beginning of what God is about

120
00:08:01.600 --> 00:08:06.960
to do. So let's pray. And then we are going to light this up today. If you're excited,

121
00:08:06.960 --> 00:08:10.880
drop excited. If you want some fire and some glory, just drop fire and glory in the comments,

122
00:08:10.880 --> 00:08:18.560
because today my friend is going to be fire and glory. So, Papa, Yeshua, Holy Spirit, we

123
00:08:19.120 --> 00:08:27.360
thank you that the best is yet to come. We thank you that you are taking us from glory to glory.

124
00:08:27.360 --> 00:08:32.559
We thank you for your prophetic words, Lord. We thank you that you are going to begin to restore

125
00:08:32.559 --> 00:08:38.240
the Shekinah glory back to the church in a greater measure than the world has ever seen

126
00:08:38.240 --> 00:08:43.120
before. Lord, we thank you that there's a move of God coming through the East Gate. Lord, we thank

127
00:08:43.120 --> 00:08:47.680
you that we're on the verge of the greatest awakening in world history. Lord, we thank you

128
00:08:47.680 --> 00:08:53.920
for Bob Jones' prophecy of a billion soul harvest. Papa, we thank you for what you are saying through

129
00:08:53.920 --> 00:08:58.720
your prophets, what you're saying through your spirit all over the face of the earth. Get ready,

130
00:08:59.280 --> 00:09:05.680
get ready for awakenings, get ready for revivals, get ready for outpourings, get ready for an

131
00:09:05.680 --> 00:09:12.240
unveiling and a manifestation of the sons of God in the earth like never before in Jesus' name.

132
00:09:12.240 --> 00:09:16.640
So, Lord, we come into alignment and agreement with your words. We come into alignment and

133
00:09:16.640 --> 00:09:20.400
agreement with your prophets. We come into alignment and agreement with your heart.

134
00:09:20.400 --> 00:09:25.920
And Lord, we just say, as we step into alignment, fill us, flood us, anoint us, commission us,

135
00:09:25.920 --> 00:09:31.360
launch us, send us out, mantle us, equip us, go before us. Papa, I thank you for divine

136
00:09:31.360 --> 00:09:36.240
appointments. I thank you for divine provision. I thank you for outpourings of your spirit. I thank

137
00:09:36.240 --> 00:09:42.400
you for grace upon grace, for glory upon glory. Papa, I thank you that in the midst of it all,

138
00:09:42.400 --> 00:09:52.880
more than anything, there will be right now for every person a fresh, intimate, living encounter

139
00:09:52.880 --> 00:09:59.920
with your very self, that the very essence of relationship.

140
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:05.400
The essence of oneness, the essence of divine union will come upon them.

141
00:10:05.400 --> 00:10:11.520
Papa, I thank you for the outpouring of your spirit in our lives right now, Lord, and the

142
00:10:11.520 --> 00:10:13.000
outpouring of your love.

143
00:10:13.000 --> 00:10:15.720
I thank you for a baptism in your love.

144
00:10:15.720 --> 00:10:19.760
I thank you for a baptism in your fire right now.

145
00:10:19.760 --> 00:10:26.160
In Jesus name, Holy Spirit, we say, breathe on us.

146
00:10:26.160 --> 00:10:31.240
As we step into alignment for heaven's finest, we say, Lord, take us.

147
00:10:31.240 --> 00:10:36.420
Like Isaiah said in Isaiah 6, here am I, send me.

148
00:10:36.420 --> 00:10:42.680
We say, in response to your heart, Lord, we say, whom shall I send and who will go for

149
00:10:42.680 --> 00:10:43.680
us?

150
00:10:43.680 --> 00:10:50.680
Papa, our heart's cry is, here we are, send us, in your beautiful name, Jesus, amen.

151
00:10:50.680 --> 00:10:55.800
Family, I don't know, let me just quickly, let me just quickly show you that photo again

152
00:10:55.800 --> 00:11:00.760
a few people have jumped on here, but this is the photo that I promised I would show

153
00:11:00.760 --> 00:11:01.760
you.

154
00:11:01.760 --> 00:11:07.800
And this photo is a photo, it was taken facing east, but it's taken while the sun's going

155
00:11:07.800 --> 00:11:08.920
down in the west.

156
00:11:08.920 --> 00:11:16.280
So this manifestation, it was like, we just, we just view it as like supernatural glory

157
00:11:16.280 --> 00:11:21.120
rays, because when we're talking about this promise that God has, this prophecy that God

158
00:11:21.120 --> 00:11:25.960
has that a move of God is going to come through Aotearoa, through the East Gate and break

159
00:11:25.960 --> 00:11:30.840
out into the world through this crazy wild awakening, when we were speaking about that

160
00:11:30.840 --> 00:11:35.560
and highlighting that, we would have these supernatural glory rays multiple times appeared

161
00:11:35.560 --> 00:11:39.720
while the sun was setting in the west, these glory rays appeared in the east, and they

162
00:11:39.720 --> 00:11:43.400
just like got the whole town like shaken up, like, what the heck is this?

163
00:11:43.400 --> 00:11:47.880
It only happened for a season of a few months, but it happened multiple times and then never

164
00:11:47.880 --> 00:11:48.880
again.

165
00:11:49.200 --> 00:11:52.280
Thought I'd share that with you just quickly.

166
00:11:52.280 --> 00:11:57.680
So fam, we are getting into the session now on those who disciple nations.

167
00:11:57.680 --> 00:12:03.000
And yesterday, we looked at just a few of the saints and mystics from the past who walked

168
00:12:03.000 --> 00:12:07.400
in phenomenal supernatural power and signs and wonders.

169
00:12:07.400 --> 00:12:12.080
And they had significant influence on kingdoms, on advancing the gospel, on revealing what

170
00:12:12.080 --> 00:12:14.200
is possible for us to walk in.

171
00:12:14.200 --> 00:12:15.840
Let me know if you love those testimonies.

172
00:12:16.000 --> 00:12:19.600
And we also exposed the giant of unbelief.

173
00:12:19.600 --> 00:12:26.080
All right. And the two lies that it will relentlessly throw at you and at every promise that God

174
00:12:26.080 --> 00:12:27.640
has for your life.

175
00:12:27.640 --> 00:12:31.520
So the lie number one is it's not possible.

176
00:12:31.520 --> 00:12:33.200
Right. The promises of God don't exist.

177
00:12:33.200 --> 00:12:37.120
They're not possible. Number two is, oh, yeah, it's possible.

178
00:12:37.120 --> 00:12:39.320
It's just not possible for you.

179
00:12:39.760 --> 00:12:42.000
All right. That's the giant of unbelief speaking.

180
00:12:42.120 --> 00:12:47.960
Now, the greatest way to break off the first lie is through the power of testimony, right?

181
00:12:47.960 --> 00:12:49.400
Seeing an impossibility happening.

182
00:12:49.400 --> 00:12:54.080
That's why I brought up those phenomenal testimonies yesterday, because the power of the testimony

183
00:12:54.080 --> 00:12:58.200
breaks off the lie that it's not possible because it's already been done.

184
00:12:59.200 --> 00:13:01.960
And that's why I wanted to share with you those testimonies from yesterday.

185
00:13:01.960 --> 00:13:05.800
And I'm going to say that just the tiniest, tiniest, tiniest little drop in the bucket

186
00:13:05.800 --> 00:13:10.680
of the heritage that we have as Christians, the heritage that we have of the

187
00:13:10.720 --> 00:13:16.000
the heritage that we have, if we can find it, the heritage that we have is mind blowing.

188
00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:22.120
So, you know, it is radically supernatural, the heritage we have.

189
00:13:22.120 --> 00:13:27.320
And at no point in New Testament history has God been without a radical expression of

190
00:13:27.320 --> 00:13:30.080
supernatural power somewhere in the earth.

191
00:13:30.080 --> 00:13:35.280
So those testimonies, they have to deal with the first lie, which says these things aren't

192
00:13:35.280 --> 00:13:40.360
possible. Remember, I shared that vision from 2009 of Shekinah glory habitations, this

193
00:13:40.360 --> 00:13:44.920
move of God where the church completely transitioned from the old way of church of what we knew.

194
00:13:44.920 --> 00:13:50.000
But I had this vision of persecution coming in these habitations of glory being

195
00:13:50.000 --> 00:13:55.120
established in the earth and people being stepping into this whole new

196
00:13:55.120 --> 00:13:59.760
dynamic of relationship with God, this whole new dynamic of the supernatural coming upon

197
00:13:59.760 --> 00:14:04.520
us, this whole new collaboration with heaven, a supernatural convergence coming, signs,

198
00:14:04.520 --> 00:14:09.440
wonders and miracles, transportation, transfiguration was just crazy what I've seen in the visions.

199
00:14:09.440 --> 00:14:13.560
But listen, everything that I've seen, it's now starting to happen.

200
00:14:13.560 --> 00:14:18.520
And and also when we share with you these testimonies of the saints of old that have actually

201
00:14:18.520 --> 00:14:22.240
walked in it, we see that not only is it possible, it's already happened.

202
00:14:22.240 --> 00:14:26.920
And when we talked yesterday as well about Paul's prophecy, which is get

203
00:14:26.920 --> 00:14:31.800
ready because it's about to hit as a corporate manifestation, not just ones and twos,

204
00:14:31.800 --> 00:14:37.240
but when seasons change like they have, right, when seasons change, what was once rare

205
00:14:37.280 --> 00:14:38.360
becomes common.

206
00:14:38.360 --> 00:14:42.240
And what we're going to start to see is that what was once rare just speckled throughout

207
00:14:42.240 --> 00:14:44.840
history right now already on the planet.

208
00:14:44.840 --> 00:14:49.520
It's common. That's one of the reasons why I had Todd jump on board with us yesterday

209
00:14:49.520 --> 00:14:51.880
and share how God's moving in their fellowship.

210
00:14:51.880 --> 00:14:56.040
There's so many places around the world where it's breaking out like this already and it's

211
00:14:56.040 --> 00:14:57.920
coming like we've never imagined.

212
00:14:57.920 --> 00:15:00.000
So I just want you to declare this with.

213
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:03.400
I just want you to say, it is possible, all right?

214
00:15:03.400 --> 00:15:04.720
So just repeat after me.

215
00:15:04.720 --> 00:15:09.400
It is possible for anyone who believes

216
00:15:09.400 --> 00:15:13.640
to do what Jesus did and even greater things.

217
00:15:13.640 --> 00:15:14.920
That's John 14, 12.

218
00:15:14.920 --> 00:15:17.540
Anyone who has faith in me will do what I've been doing.

219
00:15:17.540 --> 00:15:19.480
They will do even greater things than these.

220
00:15:19.480 --> 00:15:21.400
And you were born for the greater works

221
00:15:21.400 --> 00:15:23.800
and the giant of unbelief wants to snatch

222
00:15:23.800 --> 00:15:24.880
that promise from you,

223
00:15:24.880 --> 00:15:26.600
but you were born for the greater works.

224
00:15:26.600 --> 00:15:27.800
So just declare this with me.

225
00:15:27.800 --> 00:15:31.400
I was born for the greater works in Jesus' name.

226
00:15:31.400 --> 00:15:32.720
Yes, you were.

227
00:15:32.720 --> 00:15:35.600
So the second lie is that it's not possible for you

228
00:15:35.600 --> 00:15:37.120
and it's designed to get you to place

229
00:15:37.120 --> 00:15:39.160
your agreements with Satan,

230
00:15:39.160 --> 00:15:42.720
place your agreements with unbelief and not with God.

231
00:15:42.720 --> 00:15:45.720
And when we do that, we shut down the promises of God

232
00:15:45.720 --> 00:15:47.800
and the power of God in our lives.

233
00:15:47.800 --> 00:15:50.040
Here's something dynamic, right?

234
00:15:51.360 --> 00:15:53.740
We don't just shut down the power

235
00:15:53.740 --> 00:15:55.720
and the promises of God in our life, right?

236
00:15:55.760 --> 00:15:58.400
Because what is unfolding right now

237
00:15:58.400 --> 00:16:01.940
is a corporate manifestation of the sons of God.

238
00:16:01.940 --> 00:16:04.520
So if we want to see a corporate breakthrough,

239
00:16:04.520 --> 00:16:06.760
it requires corporate agreement.

240
00:16:06.760 --> 00:16:10.280
So if you aren't in agreement with the promise of God

241
00:16:10.280 --> 00:16:13.480
for our generation, you're not just holding yourself back,

242
00:16:13.480 --> 00:16:15.200
you're actually, we're actually holding

243
00:16:15.200 --> 00:16:16.840
our whole generation back, right?

244
00:16:16.840 --> 00:16:19.160
Because what we're doing right now, it's corporate.

245
00:16:19.160 --> 00:16:21.240
God's calling us corporately to step into this.

246
00:16:21.240 --> 00:16:24.280
So we need a corporate agreement

247
00:16:24.280 --> 00:16:26.520
for a corporate manifestation.

248
00:16:26.520 --> 00:16:29.040
So this is why it's so urgent what we're doing

249
00:16:29.040 --> 00:16:32.840
is just to break off the lies of the giant of unbelief

250
00:16:32.840 --> 00:16:34.400
so we can have corporate agreement

251
00:16:34.400 --> 00:16:38.280
that releases a corporate manifestation of the promise.

252
00:16:39.600 --> 00:16:41.880
And that's one of the reasons why yesterday as well,

253
00:16:41.880 --> 00:16:44.160
we broke out Paul's apostolic prophecy.

254
00:16:44.160 --> 00:16:49.160
So let me pull up again, Paul's apostolic prophecy.

255
00:16:49.640 --> 00:16:51.800
Let's pull that up.

256
00:16:51.800 --> 00:16:53.760
And when we pull this up,

257
00:16:54.160 --> 00:16:57.080
I'm just gonna cut to a slideshow

258
00:16:57.080 --> 00:16:58.480
for a second with you guys.

259
00:16:58.480 --> 00:17:01.840
So here we go.

260
00:17:01.840 --> 00:17:04.079
And we are going, if you wanna follow in your Bibles,

261
00:17:04.079 --> 00:17:06.280
we are going to Ephesians 4,

262
00:17:06.280 --> 00:17:07.440
and I'm gonna read this to you

263
00:17:07.440 --> 00:17:12.160
from the amplified version of the Bible.

264
00:17:12.160 --> 00:17:13.599
Right, here we go.

265
00:17:13.599 --> 00:17:17.359
So this is Paul's prophecy that we looked at yesterday,

266
00:17:17.359 --> 00:17:19.359
Ephesians 4, 12 to 13.

267
00:17:19.359 --> 00:17:22.560
His intention, Christ's intention was the full,

268
00:17:22.720 --> 00:17:24.720
perfecting and the full equipping of the saints.

269
00:17:24.720 --> 00:17:26.440
Perfecting, that's a big deal right there.

270
00:17:26.440 --> 00:17:29.800
Just say perfecting and equipping of the saints

271
00:17:29.800 --> 00:17:30.840
as consecrated people,

272
00:17:30.840 --> 00:17:33.360
that they should do the work of ministering

273
00:17:33.360 --> 00:17:35.720
toward building up Christ's body, the church,

274
00:17:35.720 --> 00:17:38.520
that it might develop until,

275
00:17:38.520 --> 00:17:42.760
now listen, that's where this until that we see right here,

276
00:17:42.760 --> 00:17:46.000
this until is gonna manifest on the timeline.

277
00:17:46.000 --> 00:17:48.400
This is an event that he's prophesying, okay?

278
00:17:48.400 --> 00:17:50.560
Just like the cross was an event in the timeline,

279
00:17:50.600 --> 00:17:52.760
the birth of Jesus was an event on the timeline,

280
00:17:52.760 --> 00:17:55.640
this until is gonna be an event on the timeline.

281
00:17:55.640 --> 00:17:59.800
We, until we all attain oneness in the faith

282
00:17:59.800 --> 00:18:03.080
and in the comprehension of the full

283
00:18:03.080 --> 00:18:05.520
and accurate knowledge of the Son of God

284
00:18:05.520 --> 00:18:10.000
that we might arrive at really mature manhood,

285
00:18:10.000 --> 00:18:12.480
the completeness of personality,

286
00:18:12.480 --> 00:18:15.280
which is nothing less than the standard height

287
00:18:15.280 --> 00:18:18.240
of Christ's own perfection,

288
00:18:18.240 --> 00:18:21.120
the measure of the stature of the fullness of the Christ

289
00:18:21.120 --> 00:18:24.160
and the completeness found in him.

290
00:18:24.160 --> 00:18:28.560
Come on, it's exactly the same as what he,

291
00:18:28.560 --> 00:18:30.440
you know, it means exactly the same thing

292
00:18:30.440 --> 00:18:33.520
as what he said his mission statement was, right?

293
00:18:33.520 --> 00:18:35.160
So let's look at Paul's mission statement,

294
00:18:35.160 --> 00:18:37.200
Colossians 1, 28 to 29,

295
00:18:37.200 --> 00:18:39.040
him we preach and proclaim,

296
00:18:39.040 --> 00:18:42.120
warning and demolishing everyone and instructing everyone.

297
00:18:42.120 --> 00:18:44.200
This is corporate and all wisdom,

298
00:18:44.200 --> 00:18:47.320
comprehensive insight into the ways and purposes of God

299
00:18:47.320 --> 00:18:50.560
that we may present every person mature,

300
00:18:50.560 --> 00:18:52.880
full grown, fully initiated,

301
00:18:52.880 --> 00:18:56.600
complete and perfect in Christ, the anointed one,

302
00:18:56.600 --> 00:18:58.640
for this I labor unto weariness,

303
00:18:58.640 --> 00:19:00.800
striving with all the superhuman energy,

304
00:19:00.800 --> 00:19:03.880
which he so mightily and kindles and works within me.

305
00:19:03.880 --> 00:19:05.240
Paul had this promise,

306
00:19:05.240 --> 00:19:09.040
Paul had this belief he'd had some encounter with the Lord

307
00:19:09.040 --> 00:19:10.640
that left him with this conviction

308
00:19:10.640 --> 00:19:13.280
that what he was supposed to be dreaming for,

309
00:19:13.280 --> 00:19:16.200
fighting for, believing for, sacrificing for,

310
00:19:16.200 --> 00:19:18.200
all that he was suffering for was going towards

311
00:19:18.200 --> 00:19:21.800
this purpose of a corporate manifestation of sonship

312
00:19:21.800 --> 00:19:23.640
where we step in, right?

313
00:19:23.640 --> 00:19:26.640
Where everything that veils Christ in us is consumed

314
00:19:26.640 --> 00:19:28.040
and only Christ remains.

315
00:19:28.040 --> 00:19:32.320
And we step corporately into this full on manifestation

316
00:19:32.320 --> 00:19:33.160
as the sons of God.

317
00:19:33.160 --> 00:19:34.600
And that's what Paul lived for.

318
00:19:34.600 --> 00:19:35.960
That's what he prophesied.

319
00:19:35.960 --> 00:19:37.880
He prophesied it through all his writings.

320
00:19:37.880 --> 00:19:39.640
Romans 8, 19 says it again,

321
00:19:39.640 --> 00:19:43.880
for the creation of all creation waits with eager longing

322
00:19:43.920 --> 00:19:47.760
and expectation for the revealing of the sons of God.

323
00:19:47.760 --> 00:19:49.040
So this is the ESV version,

324
00:19:49.040 --> 00:19:50.680
but there's so many versions of it.

325
00:19:50.680 --> 00:19:52.880
For the creation waits with eager longing.

326
00:19:52.880 --> 00:19:55.400
Other translations say eager expectation

327
00:19:55.400 --> 00:19:59.480
for the revealing of the sons of God.

328
00:19:59.480 --> 00:20:00.320
So this is.

329
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:04.000
What we were sharing about yesterday, but when we talk about agreement, right, if we

330
00:20:04.000 --> 00:20:08.740
want a corporate manifestation, it requires corporate agreement.

331
00:20:08.740 --> 00:20:13.120
So I just want to make a couple of declarations right now together, right?

332
00:20:13.120 --> 00:20:14.120
Let's just declare this together.

333
00:20:14.120 --> 00:20:19.040
I want you to declare this, to say, I was born for the greater works, all right?

334
00:20:19.040 --> 00:20:20.040
Just declare that.

335
00:20:20.040 --> 00:20:23.200
We were born for the greater works in Jesus name.

336
00:20:23.200 --> 00:20:26.220
Listen, like we have to hear something that we have to do.

337
00:20:26.220 --> 00:20:31.340
We have to break the giant of unbelief off of ourselves personally, but also off of our

338
00:20:31.340 --> 00:20:32.340
generation.

339
00:20:32.340 --> 00:20:33.340
Okay.

340
00:20:33.340 --> 00:20:36.500
Cause it's gotta be a corporate, if we want a corporate breakthrough, it requires corporate

341
00:20:36.500 --> 00:20:37.500
agreement.

342
00:20:37.500 --> 00:20:41.340
So when you are standing in agreement and you're making these declarations and you,

343
00:20:41.340 --> 00:20:45.780
you're agreeing with the prophetic words, you're agreeing with, um, with the word of

344
00:20:45.780 --> 00:20:50.260
God, when you're making these agreements and declarations right now, you are not alone,

345
00:20:50.260 --> 00:20:51.260
right?

346
00:20:51.260 --> 00:20:52.940
The heaven is hearing the sound, right?

347
00:20:52.940 --> 00:20:55.100
It's the sound of all of us as a generation.

348
00:20:55.100 --> 00:20:58.980
We are one and we're releasing corporately a sound before heaven and heaven is wanting

349
00:20:58.980 --> 00:21:02.340
us to stand in agreement and birth these promises.

350
00:21:02.340 --> 00:21:03.340
Okay.

351
00:21:03.340 --> 00:21:06.580
It's the sound of our corporate agreement that's going to release the corporate manifestation.

352
00:21:06.580 --> 00:21:09.500
So I want to encourage you in your declarations.

353
00:21:09.500 --> 00:21:10.940
You are not alone.

354
00:21:10.940 --> 00:21:16.620
We are one of the sound, we lift the sound of faith, the sound of declaration, it rises

355
00:21:16.620 --> 00:21:20.300
together to produce a corporate manifestation.

356
00:21:20.300 --> 00:21:25.420
So we have to like shift the mindset of the church to start believing for a corporate

357
00:21:25.420 --> 00:21:27.780
breakthrough of the greater works.

358
00:21:27.780 --> 00:21:28.780
All right.

359
00:21:28.780 --> 00:21:33.300
We have to start seeing that my breakthrough is your breakthrough.

360
00:21:33.300 --> 00:21:35.260
We are going on this corporately.

361
00:21:35.260 --> 00:21:36.980
We are one on this journey.

362
00:21:36.980 --> 00:21:40.860
So when one person gets a breakthrough on the planet right now, we all get a breakthrough

363
00:21:40.860 --> 00:21:46.060
because God is going after a corporate move, not an individual one.

364
00:21:46.060 --> 00:21:49.820
So we have to embrace and just celebrate each other's breakthroughs and victories

365
00:21:49.820 --> 00:21:50.820
like never before.

366
00:21:50.820 --> 00:21:54.020
You know, that's one of the reasons why we had Pastor Todd Weatherly sharing about the

367
00:21:54.020 --> 00:21:59.460
amazing move of God in their church, because we get to celebrate together because it's

368
00:21:59.460 --> 00:22:01.140
not just Todd's breakthrough.

369
00:22:01.140 --> 00:22:03.060
It's our breakthrough as a generation.

370
00:22:03.060 --> 00:22:04.620
It's not just Todd's heritage.

371
00:22:04.620 --> 00:22:05.620
It's our heritage.

372
00:22:05.620 --> 00:22:06.620
It's not just their testimony.

373
00:22:06.620 --> 00:22:10.460
It's our testimony as the corporate body of Christ and we get to celebrate it.

374
00:22:10.460 --> 00:22:16.220
So one thing I'd love you to do in the comments, like share your testimonies, all right, let

375
00:22:16.220 --> 00:22:19.700
the whole world celebrate your testimonies and your breakthroughs, because they're not

376
00:22:19.700 --> 00:22:23.740
just your breakthroughs, they're our breakthroughs.

377
00:22:23.740 --> 00:22:28.340
Another awesome thing on that, if you missed it, is that at 2 p.m. today, we had exciting

378
00:22:28.340 --> 00:22:29.340
news.

379
00:22:29.340 --> 00:22:35.020
My spiritual mom, Nancy Cohen, who's got some of the wildest breakthroughs in the world,

380
00:22:35.020 --> 00:22:38.860
she has agreed to be with us live at 2 p.m. for a live interview.

381
00:22:39.260 --> 00:22:42.100
She's one of the busiest people in the world, so it's going to be epic.

382
00:22:42.100 --> 00:22:44.500
Watch your emails for details on that.

383
00:22:44.500 --> 00:22:50.140
So just again, this journey that we're on is about a corporate unveiling of the Sons

384
00:22:50.140 --> 00:22:53.620
of God that shifts normal on the face of the earth forever.

385
00:22:53.620 --> 00:22:56.180
When we have that, what's it going to look like?

386
00:22:56.180 --> 00:23:02.100
Millions of, you know, the St. Francis', millions of St. Francis of Assisi, St. Francis of Paola,

387
00:23:02.100 --> 00:23:08.660
St. Francis Xavier, Catherine of Siena, St. Maria of Agrigia, millions of us all stepping

388
00:23:08.660 --> 00:23:11.220
into a corporate breakthrough all over the world.

389
00:23:11.220 --> 00:23:17.300
This is going to be an unstoppable force from heaven being released into the earth.

390
00:23:17.300 --> 00:23:21.700
Now what's it all about, right?

391
00:23:21.700 --> 00:23:24.220
It's not just about signs and wonders, right?

392
00:23:24.220 --> 00:23:25.480
That's a distraction, actually.

393
00:23:25.480 --> 00:23:27.500
It's not about signs and wonders.

394
00:23:27.500 --> 00:23:31.700
It's actually about the standing orders that we have from Jesus.

395
00:23:31.700 --> 00:23:37.740
Now I think that some people, it's like their eschatology has got in the way of obedience,

396
00:23:37.820 --> 00:23:38.820
right?

397
00:23:38.820 --> 00:23:43.140
If your eschatology, if your perception or perspective on the world gets in the way of

398
00:23:43.140 --> 00:23:45.700
obedience, that's a problem, right?

399
00:23:45.700 --> 00:23:51.340
But you can't get so smart, you can't get so clever that it justifies disobedience to

400
00:23:51.340 --> 00:23:52.660
the commission.

401
00:23:52.660 --> 00:23:54.940
And we have standing orders from Jesus, right?

402
00:23:54.940 --> 00:24:01.500
And those standing orders is Matthew 28, 19, go therefore and make disciples of all nations,

403
00:24:01.500 --> 00:24:04.840
baptizing them into the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

404
00:24:04.940 --> 00:24:09.280
So if your theology, if your eschatology, if you're so clever that you've justified

405
00:24:09.280 --> 00:24:14.120
living in disobedience, something's wrong, okay?

406
00:24:14.120 --> 00:24:19.480
This journey is not just about like signs and wonders and happy feelings, it's about

407
00:24:19.480 --> 00:24:25.520
fulfilling the great commission, which is to disciple nations.

408
00:24:25.520 --> 00:24:28.880
And so today, what we're really focusing on is those who disciple nations.

409
00:24:28.880 --> 00:24:35.120
So I've got two of the most phenomenal testimonies in world history, and they're really quite

410
00:24:35.120 --> 00:24:42.240
unknown testimonies of how Christians toppled evil regimes, how they toppled demonic empires

411
00:24:42.240 --> 00:24:47.120
and how they actually established the kingdom of God on earth and discipled nations and

412
00:24:47.120 --> 00:24:48.120
shaped history.

413
00:24:48.120 --> 00:24:52.520
So let me know if you're excited about that, because there's something that we have to

414
00:24:52.520 --> 00:24:53.520
see, right?

415
00:24:53.520 --> 00:24:59.840
There's something that we have to see in these moves of God, in these people, that is critical

416
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:07.840
us in this generation. So in their secret you can kind of catch it in Psalm 133, so let me read that.

417
00:25:08.560 --> 00:25:15.280
How good and pleasant it is when God's people live together in unity. It is like the precious

418
00:25:15.280 --> 00:25:20.160
oil poured on the head running down on the bed, running down on Aaron's beard, down on the collar

419
00:25:20.160 --> 00:25:26.480
of his robe. It is as if the Jew of Hermon were falling on Mount Zion, for there the Lord bestows

420
00:25:26.480 --> 00:25:33.920
his blessing, even life forevermore. Now there is a blessing that's so powerful that it disciples

421
00:25:33.920 --> 00:25:40.640
nations and it comes out of unity, all right? It comes out of collaboration, out of unity. So we're

422
00:25:40.640 --> 00:25:48.240
going to be exploring this of how the Christians of the past have utilized the power of collaboration

423
00:25:48.240 --> 00:25:53.680
to disciple nations. Collaboration with heaven and collaboration with each other. These are the two

424
00:25:54.560 --> 00:25:58.960
keys that unlock the blessing that disciple nations is collaboration with heaven,

425
00:25:58.960 --> 00:26:03.040
oneness with heaven, and collaboration with each other, oneness with each other. So

426
00:26:03.760 --> 00:26:09.920
we're going to see those two types of collaboration in action and either way there is,

427
00:26:11.920 --> 00:26:17.680
you know, where there is unity, heaven commands a massive blessing and that blessing has the power

428
00:26:17.680 --> 00:26:24.880
to disciple nations. So my objective is to get you to start believing for what God really has

429
00:26:24.880 --> 00:26:29.840
in store, okay? So this is my dream. I'm trying to inspire you. I'm trying to get you to believe

430
00:26:29.840 --> 00:26:35.920
for a great collaboration with heaven and with each other on a scale that the world has never

431
00:26:35.920 --> 00:26:40.480
seen before. So feel free to like have permission to dream bigger because that's what I'm going

432
00:26:40.480 --> 00:26:46.720
after. So, you know, this is one thing that this great persecution is coming on the west,

433
00:26:46.720 --> 00:26:51.600
coming on the world. One thing that's producing as it sweeps the earth right now is it's producing

434
00:26:51.600 --> 00:26:57.040
an urgent collaboration, okay? So there's a sense of urgency that's coming on us which is a good

435
00:26:57.040 --> 00:27:04.320
thing, okay? The urgency is a good thing because casual has not been able to produce the breakthrough

436
00:27:04.320 --> 00:27:09.920
we needed, all right? But urgency will. As the urgency comes upon us, it will produce a greater

437
00:27:09.920 --> 00:27:14.880
level of collaboration with heaven and with each other than we have ever seen because if we don't

438
00:27:14.880 --> 00:27:20.320
collaborate, we will not stand in this storm, all right? We will not stand in this storm alone.

439
00:27:20.320 --> 00:27:26.240
God's designed the storm in a way that it's so intense that you cannot stand alone. We must

440
00:27:26.240 --> 00:27:31.360
step into collaboration with heaven and we must step into collaboration with each other like we've

441
00:27:31.360 --> 00:27:37.600
never done before. So our first story is one you'll probably, you will have definitely heard the name

442
00:27:37.600 --> 00:27:42.080
of the guy but it'll be interesting and most of the time people don't know the real story behind

443
00:27:42.640 --> 00:27:49.600
St. Patrick. So say St. Patrick, he is the man. I would suggest that St. Patrick is the most

444
00:27:49.600 --> 00:27:55.680
epic person in the New Testament that has ever lived, you know, apart from Jesus, St. Patrick,

445
00:27:55.680 --> 00:28:01.920
I've never found anyone who accomplished the level of fruit that St. Patrick did. In my mind,

446
00:28:01.920 --> 00:28:09.440
St. Patrick is the Moses of the New Testament and he walked in signs and wonders on that same level,

447
00:28:09.440 --> 00:28:14.080
on like the biblical proportion of what Moses walked in, that's what St. Patrick walked in.

448
00:28:14.080 --> 00:28:18.880
So as we start talking about St. Patrick, don't just think, you know, about leprechauns and

449
00:28:18.880 --> 00:28:23.600
Guinness, all right? You need to actually start shifting your mindset because St. Patrick is,

450
00:28:23.600 --> 00:28:29.200
I would suggest to you, he is the most like phenomenal demonstration of sonship that the

451
00:28:29.200 --> 00:28:33.280
world has ever seen. He is the Moses of the New Testament. So let me give you a little bit of

452
00:28:33.280 --> 00:28:38.080
context, like world history context of where St. Patrick was, then we're going to jump into his

453
00:28:38.080 --> 00:28:44.000
story. So when, you know, like the early church, right? So from the time that Stephen was martyred

454
00:28:44.000 --> 00:28:50.720
in 35 AD, like persecution never stopped, okay? It began there and it never stopped. In 202 AD,

455
00:28:51.360 --> 00:28:59.440
Emperor Septimius forbid, he like, he forbid Christian conversion, right? In 250 AD,

456
00:28:59.440 --> 00:29:05.920
Emperor Decius, he ordered universal sacrifice, right? So you had to get a sacrifice. I don't

457
00:29:05.920 --> 00:29:10.880
know if this sounds familiar to you, right? But you had to do something. In 250 AD, you had to

458
00:29:10.880 --> 00:29:19.040
sacrifice to a pagan God and get a certificate actually saying you'd sacrificed to this pagan

459
00:29:19.040 --> 00:29:23.040
God. And if you didn't have that certificate, then you would go to jail or you'd be facing

460
00:29:23.040 --> 00:29:27.680
massive persecution. So that caused massive persecution in the church to break out. And

461
00:29:27.680 --> 00:29:33.120
then there was a reprieve and a bunch of people who had sacrificed, right? Then they actually

462
00:29:33.120 --> 00:29:36.320
came back into the church. And some of the Christians had a problem with that, right?

463
00:29:36.320 --> 00:29:39.840
Because there's all these people who sold out and sacrificed to demons. And they're like,

464
00:29:39.840 --> 00:29:44.000
why are you coming back into the church now? And that actually caused a little bit of a split

465
00:29:44.000 --> 00:29:46.960
in the church because some people were like Puritans and then these other people who'd been

466
00:29:46.960 --> 00:29:52.080
like compromising. And because of that, it started a movement called the Desert Fathers. So some of

467
00:29:52.080 --> 00:29:55.840
these Desert Fathers, they went out, they were some of the original mystics and some of the

468
00:29:55.840 --> 00:29:59.760
original guys who just leaned into like real deep prayer and meditation.

469
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:06.160
live these pure lives. But whole cities began to spring up in the desert as people escaped

470
00:30:06.160 --> 00:30:15.520
corruption and went after purity and moved to the desert. So in 298, like 300 AD, Christians were

471
00:30:15.520 --> 00:30:23.680
forced to leave the Roman army. Then in 303 AD, a massive persecution broke out. Churches were

472
00:30:23.680 --> 00:30:28.960
destroyed. Christian writings were destroyed. There was systematic slaughter of Christians.

473
00:30:28.960 --> 00:30:34.560
They had to sacrifice to pagan gods or die. Like, how's that, right? Sacrifice to a demon,

474
00:30:34.560 --> 00:30:42.000
prove you're not a Christian, or die. That was the rule of law. That was the government for you.

475
00:30:42.640 --> 00:30:54.080
312 AD, things changed. And now this is around where St. Patrick was born in the late 300s.

476
00:30:54.080 --> 00:31:00.240
But in 312 AD, Constantine, he conquered as an emperor, but he made Christianity

477
00:31:01.520 --> 00:31:06.720
legal. But when he did that, he basically swapped out all his mates, right? So he had the pagan

478
00:31:06.720 --> 00:31:11.840
priests. He just let them be Christian priests. He had the pagan temples. He let them be Christian

479
00:31:11.840 --> 00:31:20.480
churches. So a huge influx of corruption flooded the church like never before. So what you were

480
00:31:20.480 --> 00:31:26.160
seeing then is this unparalleled level of corruption flooding the church. And like the

481
00:31:26.160 --> 00:31:31.040
government controlled all the money for the church. And so the level of corruption and

482
00:31:31.040 --> 00:31:36.080
depravity in the church was just unprecedented. And people were wondering, is an authentic

483
00:31:36.080 --> 00:31:45.600
expression of the gospel actually going to survive, right? So it's around this time, okay?

484
00:31:45.600 --> 00:31:52.160
So it's in like the late 300s that St. Patrick is born. He's born at a time where they're like,

485
00:31:52.160 --> 00:31:57.680
oh my gosh, the church is so corrupt. Is there any purity? And there were a handful of these

486
00:31:57.680 --> 00:32:01.360
people who are still held to purity. They'd been through extreme persecution. So you had

487
00:32:01.360 --> 00:32:07.200
these Christians who were like radical Christians and just knew the power of God and just sold out

488
00:32:07.200 --> 00:32:12.320
for Jesus. And then you had this massive systemic corruption in the church at the same time.

489
00:32:12.400 --> 00:32:17.840
And so that's the context that St. Patrick was born into. So he was born in Britain,

490
00:32:17.840 --> 00:32:23.840
and then he was kidnapped by pirates at the age of 16. But St. Patrick, even from the time

491
00:32:23.840 --> 00:32:28.640
he was young, he was just noted as someone who saw signs and wonders and miracles around his

492
00:32:28.640 --> 00:32:32.880
life. He was noted as someone who was like, well, this guy is like set apart for God. There's

493
00:32:32.880 --> 00:32:38.000
something about his life. But at 16, he was kidnapped by Irish pirates and taken to Ireland

494
00:32:38.000 --> 00:32:44.640
as a slave for six years. And then he actually escaped awesome supernatural stories while he was

495
00:32:44.640 --> 00:32:50.720
a slave, when he escaped all radical God interventions. But when he came back to

496
00:32:50.720 --> 00:32:55.680
Britain, God actually called him to Ireland. And he actually spent decades preparing to go back.

497
00:32:55.680 --> 00:33:00.800
And it wasn't until he was about 60 that he actually left back for Ireland. But when he

498
00:33:00.800 --> 00:33:05.840
goes back, he spent decades preparing for this. When St. Patrick went back to Ireland, he was

499
00:33:05.840 --> 00:33:13.760
like full on boss level. This guy was a machine. He was just so on fire. And he just had so much

500
00:33:13.760 --> 00:33:17.440
intimacy and so much union. And he traveled all around Europe and met some of the most amazing

501
00:33:17.440 --> 00:33:21.600
Christians in the world. And he was ready to go. He was right on point with his divine assignment.

502
00:33:21.600 --> 00:33:26.720
He goes at age 60. And a lot of people thought it was just certain death, right?

503
00:33:28.320 --> 00:33:33.680
So when he went there, he took a top down approach to discipling a nation. So I want you to say that

504
00:33:33.680 --> 00:33:40.400
top down, okay? What does that look like? He did minister to just the everyday people,

505
00:33:40.400 --> 00:33:43.760
but he didn't just stop there. He was like, you know what? I'm going after the kings. I'm going

506
00:33:43.760 --> 00:33:50.880
after the druids. It was an extremely dangerous place to live. But to go as a missionary,

507
00:33:50.880 --> 00:33:54.160
people thought he would have been killed right away. But there was an exceptional

508
00:33:55.440 --> 00:34:00.240
supernatural protection on his life from God, right? Every single time they tried to kill him,

509
00:34:00.240 --> 00:34:07.200
they couldn't touch him. The supernatural protection of God on St. Patrick's life was

510
00:34:07.200 --> 00:34:12.080
just unparalleled. Nothing they could do. So I'm going to hear some stories in a moment. But

511
00:34:12.080 --> 00:34:18.239
one of the first things that he did is there was this festival where kings, right? Where

512
00:34:18.960 --> 00:34:23.840
no one could light a fire in the whole area. You couldn't light a fire to cook your food.

513
00:34:23.840 --> 00:34:28.719
You couldn't do anything on this particular festival until the king had lit his massive

514
00:34:28.719 --> 00:34:34.480
fire on the highest hill in the area. And once you saw the king light his fire,

515
00:34:34.480 --> 00:34:38.800
then everyone else could light their fire. So St. Patrick's like, stuff you, man. I'm going

516
00:34:38.800 --> 00:34:43.440
after this nation. I'm going to get an audience with the king. Sorry, St. Patrick. So he builds

517
00:34:43.440 --> 00:34:49.679
this huge bonfire. And before the king lights his fire, St. Patrick lights his bonfire. And this was

518
00:34:49.679 --> 00:34:54.719
a direct challenge, right? This was a power encounter. He was challenging the king. He was

519
00:34:54.719 --> 00:34:59.760
challenging their gods. And it was a showdown, okay? So this is intense. This is...

520
00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:05.520
almost like Elijah and the Prophets of Baal type stuff. This is like Moses with pharaohs,

521
00:35:06.080 --> 00:35:11.360
magicians. This is a big deal. Okay, so get ready because you're going to hear some wild stuff. But

522
00:35:11.360 --> 00:35:16.400
let me just preface this. When St. Patrick came on the earth, people were concerned whether or

523
00:35:16.400 --> 00:35:22.640
not the authenticity of the gospel could make it. There was so much corruption in the church,

524
00:35:22.640 --> 00:35:28.480
and there was so much concern that will the purity of the gospel survive, or is the flame

525
00:35:28.480 --> 00:35:34.400
of the church, the flame of the gospel, about to go out in the midst of the darkness of corruption?

526
00:35:35.040 --> 00:35:41.920
So it's important to understand the magnitude of where things were at historically when God sends

527
00:35:41.920 --> 00:35:47.840
St. Patrick into hostile territory to subdue and take dominion. There's a massive anointing

528
00:35:47.840 --> 00:35:53.280
on St. Patrick's life. He was the Moses of the New Testament for a reason, okay? It was huge,

529
00:35:53.280 --> 00:35:59.840
this hugely critical and significant, the hour that God sent St. Patrick into. It's important

530
00:35:59.840 --> 00:36:04.240
to understand that because the power that was on his life is going to blow your mind.

531
00:36:05.120 --> 00:36:10.000
So the kings up there, the druids are with him. They see this other fire

532
00:36:10.000 --> 00:36:14.560
light, and they're like, whoa, what is going on there? Who is that? And then they realize it's St.

533
00:36:14.560 --> 00:36:20.640
Patrick. And they were already wary of him, right? Because in their own culture, there was a

534
00:36:20.640 --> 00:36:29.120
long-standing prophecy about a man who looked just like St. Patrick, who would bring a divine

535
00:36:29.120 --> 00:36:35.920
revelation. So they already were like, whoa, is this the prophecy being fulfilled? So the druids,

536
00:36:35.920 --> 00:36:40.560
the kings, everyone knew the prophecy. And there was a little bit like, whoa, is this the guy that's

537
00:36:40.560 --> 00:36:45.280
coming? Because they already had it embedded into their culture, this prophecy about a man. And they

538
00:36:45.280 --> 00:36:50.800
were wondering if St. Patrick was the man. But at that moment, right, in that very moment,

539
00:36:50.800 --> 00:36:58.880
one of the druids said to the king, he said, if you do not put out that fire, it will become a fire

540
00:36:59.440 --> 00:37:07.360
that is never put out in this land. And the man who lit it will become more famous than kings

541
00:37:07.360 --> 00:37:13.200
or queens. Whoa, how intense is that? So they all rush over there, the king, the druids,

542
00:37:13.200 --> 00:37:18.880
the soldiers, they rush over there in their chariots, obviously in full rage and full battle

543
00:37:18.880 --> 00:37:25.680
mode. They're trying to intimidate St. Patrick. But he comes out singing, right? His response

544
00:37:25.680 --> 00:37:29.920
to them coming with everything is he just comes out singing. He comes out singing,

545
00:37:29.920 --> 00:37:35.200
some trust in horses and some in chariots, but we trust in the Lord. OK, that's his response

546
00:37:35.200 --> 00:37:42.560
then coming in their mind. One of the leading druids began boasting of his power in a display

547
00:37:42.640 --> 00:37:48.480
of demonic power. He began to levitate in front of everyone. Now, Patrick, he just starts praying.

548
00:37:50.240 --> 00:37:59.600
And this druid falls dead in front of everyone. Now, this is something that you will see.

549
00:38:00.400 --> 00:38:04.640
You know, in the New Testament, we see this and we see Ananias and Sapphira. There's a,

550
00:38:05.600 --> 00:38:11.920
you know, they get struck down. We see, you know, an angel strikes. I think it's Herod

551
00:38:11.920 --> 00:38:15.760
strikes him down for claiming that basically everyone's saying he's a god. He's like, yeah.

552
00:38:15.760 --> 00:38:21.760
And boom, gets struck, struck down. There's this weightiness around, you know, that will come

553
00:38:21.760 --> 00:38:27.040
sometimes that you can't miss the glory of God when the glory of God is moving in a certain way.

554
00:38:27.040 --> 00:38:31.760
There is a reverence. There is a fear of God that's demanded. It's not just Old Testament.

555
00:38:31.760 --> 00:38:37.040
There's a New Testament weightiness where you can't mess with the glory. You can't mess with

556
00:38:37.040 --> 00:38:41.760
the purposes and the plans of God. There is a line there. And so there's this like awe starts

557
00:38:41.760 --> 00:38:45.520
to come around St. Patrick, because they're like, whoa, who is this guy? He just prayed.

558
00:38:45.520 --> 00:38:51.600
And this druid, he just collapses. He was levitating. He just falls dead in front of everyone.

559
00:38:51.600 --> 00:38:58.960
So this is like sparking a bit of fear of God, but it hasn't really set in. And they actually,

560
00:38:58.960 --> 00:39:03.680
first of all, they just set into a massive rage, right? They drew their swords and then they're

561
00:39:03.680 --> 00:39:08.880
about like trying to attack him, right? But he prays. And then the Lord put a confusion on them,

562
00:39:08.880 --> 00:39:15.600
right? And all these soldiers, they're all there. A storm swirls up, a confusion comes on them,

563
00:39:15.600 --> 00:39:20.240
and they just all started attacking each other, right? So St. Patrick is just there by himself.

564
00:39:20.240 --> 00:39:24.640
They've got this, all these soldiers. And instead of like him being attacked,

565
00:39:24.640 --> 00:39:29.200
this is why I'm saying there was a supernatural protection on St. Patrick that is just

566
00:39:29.200 --> 00:39:32.640
mind-blowing. The fear and the awe that began to come around and began to be huge.

567
00:39:32.640 --> 00:39:35.840
So these guys, they were trying to kill him. But instead of that, this confusion came on.

568
00:39:35.840 --> 00:39:41.120
They just started fighting each other. And they killed about 50 of their own number before

569
00:39:41.120 --> 00:39:46.160
they stopped. And the king's like, whoa, whoa, whoa. And so the king says, OK, come and meet me

570
00:39:46.160 --> 00:39:53.440
in my palace tomorrow. But he set an ambush for St. Patrick along the way. So St. Patrick's like,

571
00:39:53.440 --> 00:39:59.840
sweet, we'll come. We'll meet you at your palace tomorrow. And it was on the walk to the palace.

572
00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:03.680
that one of St. Patrick's most famous prayers was birth.

573
00:40:03.680 --> 00:40:06.320
So while they were walking on this walk to the palace,

574
00:40:06.320 --> 00:40:07.840
this is when he wrote this prayer.

575
00:40:07.840 --> 00:40:12.160
It says, and just feel free to like,

576
00:40:12.160 --> 00:40:13.280
just say amen to this.

577
00:40:13.280 --> 00:40:14.120
This is wild.

578
00:40:14.120 --> 00:40:17.600
I'll post this up in the,

579
00:40:17.600 --> 00:40:20.040
I'll post this up in the comments later

580
00:40:20.040 --> 00:40:21.400
so you can have a copy.

581
00:40:21.400 --> 00:40:23.080
But this is the prayer of St. Patrick says,

582
00:40:23.080 --> 00:40:26.680
I arise today through a mighty strength,

583
00:40:26.680 --> 00:40:29.360
the invocation of the Trinity,

584
00:40:29.440 --> 00:40:31.480
through a belief in the threeness,

585
00:40:31.480 --> 00:40:33.800
through confession of the oneness

586
00:40:33.800 --> 00:40:35.760
of the creator of creation.

587
00:40:35.760 --> 00:40:39.000
I arise today through the strength of Christ's birth

588
00:40:39.000 --> 00:40:40.200
and his baptism,

589
00:40:40.200 --> 00:40:43.320
through the strength of his crucifixion and his burial,

590
00:40:43.320 --> 00:40:46.200
through the strength of his resurrection and his ascension,

591
00:40:46.200 --> 00:40:48.120
through the strength of his descent

592
00:40:48.120 --> 00:40:49.320
for the judgment of doom.

593
00:40:49.320 --> 00:40:53.640
I arise today through the strength of the love of cherubim

594
00:40:53.640 --> 00:40:57.000
and obedience of angels and service of archangels

595
00:40:57.000 --> 00:41:00.280
in the hope of resurrection to meet with reward

596
00:41:00.280 --> 00:41:02.080
and the prayers of patriarchs

597
00:41:02.080 --> 00:41:03.840
and preachings of the apostles

598
00:41:03.840 --> 00:41:06.880
and faiths of confessors and innocence of virgins

599
00:41:06.880 --> 00:41:09.040
and deeds of righteous men.

600
00:41:09.040 --> 00:41:12.240
I arise today through the strength of heaven,

601
00:41:12.240 --> 00:41:14.960
light of the sun, splendor of fire,

602
00:41:14.960 --> 00:41:18.000
speed of lightning, swiftness of the winds,

603
00:41:18.000 --> 00:41:20.720
depth of the sea, stability of the earth,

604
00:41:20.720 --> 00:41:22.400
firmness of the rock.

605
00:41:22.400 --> 00:41:26.000
I arise today through God's strength to pilot me,

606
00:41:26.000 --> 00:41:29.240
God's might to uphold me, God's wisdom to guide me,

607
00:41:29.240 --> 00:41:32.480
God's eye to look before me, God's ear to hear me,

608
00:41:32.480 --> 00:41:35.560
God's word to speak for me, God's hand to guard me,

609
00:41:35.560 --> 00:41:39.040
God's way to lie before me, God's shield to protect me,

610
00:41:39.040 --> 00:41:43.120
God's host to save me from snares of the devil,

611
00:41:43.120 --> 00:41:45.240
from temptations of vices,

612
00:41:45.240 --> 00:41:49.600
from everyone who desires me ill, afar and near,

613
00:41:49.600 --> 00:41:51.320
alone or in a multitude.

614
00:41:51.320 --> 00:41:56.320
I summon today all these powers between me and evil

615
00:41:56.880 --> 00:41:59.800
against every cruel, merciless power

616
00:41:59.800 --> 00:42:02.240
that opposes my body and my soul,

617
00:42:02.240 --> 00:42:04.920
against incantations of false prophets,

618
00:42:04.920 --> 00:42:07.160
against black laws of pagandom,

619
00:42:07.160 --> 00:42:09.040
against false laws of heretics,

620
00:42:09.040 --> 00:42:10.880
against craft of idolatry,

621
00:42:10.880 --> 00:42:14.000
against spells of woman and smiths and wizards,

622
00:42:14.000 --> 00:42:17.680
against every knowledge that corrupts man's body and soul.

623
00:42:17.680 --> 00:42:22.440
Christ shield me today against poison,

624
00:42:22.440 --> 00:42:27.000
against burning, against drowning, against wounding

625
00:42:27.000 --> 00:42:29.920
so that reward may come to me in abundance.

626
00:42:29.920 --> 00:42:33.560
Christ with me, Christ before me, Christ behind me,

627
00:42:33.560 --> 00:42:36.800
Christ in me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me,

628
00:42:36.800 --> 00:42:39.080
Christ on my right, Christ on my left,

629
00:42:39.080 --> 00:42:42.080
Christ when I lie down, Christ when I sit down,

630
00:42:42.080 --> 00:42:45.920
Christ in the heart of every man who thinks of me,

631
00:42:45.920 --> 00:42:49.760
Christ in the mouth of every man who speaks of me,

632
00:42:49.760 --> 00:42:52.320
Christ in the eye that sees me,

633
00:42:52.320 --> 00:42:55.360
Christ in the ear that hears me.

634
00:42:55.360 --> 00:43:00.240
I arise today through a mighty strength,

635
00:43:00.240 --> 00:43:03.040
the invocation of the Trinity,

636
00:43:03.040 --> 00:43:05.520
through a belief in the threeness,

637
00:43:05.520 --> 00:43:08.400
through a confession of the oneness

638
00:43:08.400 --> 00:43:12.640
of the creator of creation.

639
00:43:12.640 --> 00:43:16.120
How wild is that for a declaration, right?

640
00:43:16.120 --> 00:43:19.400
Now, here's the crazy thing that he wouldn't have known

641
00:43:19.400 --> 00:43:21.040
while he was making that declaration.

642
00:43:21.040 --> 00:43:23.160
Remember, as well, just to highlight that he said,

643
00:43:23.160 --> 00:43:24.680
shield me from poison.

644
00:43:24.680 --> 00:43:25.920
Well, get ready.

645
00:43:25.920 --> 00:43:28.440
What they didn't realize is that while they were walking

646
00:43:28.440 --> 00:43:30.960
there, the king had set an ambush, right?

647
00:43:30.960 --> 00:43:32.960
So there's this whole ambush there waiting.

648
00:43:32.960 --> 00:43:35.880
They're waiting for St. Patrick and his guys to come through.

649
00:43:35.880 --> 00:43:38.360
But when they walked through the ambush,

650
00:43:38.360 --> 00:43:41.160
the people who were there lying, waiting ambush,

651
00:43:41.160 --> 00:43:43.960
all they saw was, you know, like St. Patrick

652
00:43:43.960 --> 00:43:46.160
and eight of his disciples walked through.

653
00:43:46.160 --> 00:43:49.280
But what the druids and the warriors saw

654
00:43:49.280 --> 00:43:52.520
were eight deer and a fawn.

655
00:43:53.840 --> 00:43:56.320
The king was amazed when St. Patrick actually turned up

656
00:43:56.320 --> 00:43:58.040
alive at the palace.

657
00:43:58.040 --> 00:44:01.000
He's like, well, how did you even get through the ambush?

658
00:44:01.000 --> 00:44:02.320
But he was hostile again.

659
00:44:02.320 --> 00:44:04.960
And as a rival, he invited him to drink,

660
00:44:04.960 --> 00:44:06.040
you know, to eat and drink.

661
00:44:06.040 --> 00:44:09.320
But he gave St. Patrick poisoned wine to drink, okay?

662
00:44:09.320 --> 00:44:11.720
So St. Patrick blessed the cup.

663
00:44:11.720 --> 00:44:14.440
He turned the cup upside down in front of everyone

664
00:44:14.440 --> 00:44:16.600
and only the poison fell out.

665
00:44:16.600 --> 00:44:18.960
And then he drank the wine.

666
00:44:18.960 --> 00:44:22.640
And then another powerful druid rose up to challenge him.

667
00:44:22.640 --> 00:44:23.920
And the druid, this was again,

668
00:44:23.920 --> 00:44:26.720
this is a power encounter similar to Moses and Pharaoh.

669
00:44:26.720 --> 00:44:29.800
The druid and his assistants called in snow

670
00:44:29.800 --> 00:44:31.880
and a dark fog, right?

671
00:44:31.880 --> 00:44:33.920
So they're showing off their supernatural powers

672
00:44:33.920 --> 00:44:36.360
to exercise power over the elements.

673
00:44:36.360 --> 00:44:38.280
And then St. Patrick challenged,

674
00:44:38.720 --> 00:44:40.960
he said, well, why don't you try and make it leave?

675
00:44:40.960 --> 00:44:42.200
And the guy couldn't.

676
00:44:42.200 --> 00:44:46.560
So St. Patrick prayed and the sun came out

677
00:44:46.560 --> 00:44:48.360
and the snow disappeared.

678
00:44:48.360 --> 00:44:51.560
And they wanted a more definitive power encounter, right?

679
00:44:51.560 --> 00:44:52.840
They were like, no, we've got to just see

680
00:44:52.840 --> 00:44:54.680
who's the most powerful here.

681
00:44:54.680 --> 00:44:57.680
And the result was like, the king's like, okay,

682
00:44:57.680 --> 00:45:00.440
well, why don't you throw your holy books in the water?

683
00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:04.680
and the one that comes out dry will be the winner.

684
00:45:04.680 --> 00:45:06.640
And the Druid's like, no, no, no, no, no, no,

685
00:45:06.640 --> 00:45:10.200
because St. Patrick's God is the God of the water as well.

686
00:45:10.200 --> 00:45:12.000
And St. Patrick was like, yeah, that's fine.

687
00:45:12.000 --> 00:45:13.280
But the Druid's like, no, no, no.

688
00:45:13.280 --> 00:45:15.160
So the King says, we'll throw them into the fire.

689
00:45:15.160 --> 00:45:16.600
And St. Patrick's like, yeah, that's fine.

690
00:45:16.600 --> 00:45:17.680
And the Druid's like, no, no, no, no,

691
00:45:17.680 --> 00:45:20.920
because his God's the God of the fire too.

692
00:45:20.920 --> 00:45:25.920
So in the end, this is the elaborate power encounter

693
00:45:26.560 --> 00:45:28.160
that they came to, they're like, okay,

694
00:45:28.160 --> 00:45:30.960
this is what we're going to do to prove

695
00:45:30.960 --> 00:45:33.560
that the Druid's God is the real God.

696
00:45:33.560 --> 00:45:34.680
This is what they're doing.

697
00:45:34.680 --> 00:45:36.600
St. Patrick's like, okay, this is fine.

698
00:45:36.600 --> 00:45:38.520
So the arrangement was,

699
00:45:38.520 --> 00:45:40.840
they took one of St. Patrick's disciples

700
00:45:40.840 --> 00:45:42.400
and they dressed him in a Druid's robe

701
00:45:42.400 --> 00:45:44.880
and they surrounded him with dry sticks.

702
00:45:46.120 --> 00:45:47.080
And then they took the Druid

703
00:45:47.080 --> 00:45:49.400
and they surrounded him with green sticks covered in water,

704
00:45:49.400 --> 00:45:51.040
remind you of Elijah and Baal.

705
00:45:51.040 --> 00:45:53.440
And then they put them both inside a house

706
00:45:53.440 --> 00:45:55.720
and they set the house on fire.

707
00:45:55.720 --> 00:45:56.800
And what happened,

708
00:45:57.560 --> 00:46:00.480
St. Patrick's disciple was fine.

709
00:46:00.480 --> 00:46:02.840
All that burned up on him was the Druid's robe,

710
00:46:02.840 --> 00:46:05.240
but the Druid was burned alive.

711
00:46:05.240 --> 00:46:08.360
And then the Druid's disciples, they rage again.

712
00:46:08.360 --> 00:46:11.360
The King's raging, the Druid's raging, they hate this.

713
00:46:11.360 --> 00:46:13.280
You can understand this is centuries

714
00:46:13.280 --> 00:46:14.920
of Druid worship going in

715
00:46:14.920 --> 00:46:17.560
and St. Patrick is going into centuries of Druid worship

716
00:46:17.560 --> 00:46:21.200
and just challenging the Kings, challenging the Druids

717
00:46:21.200 --> 00:46:22.960
and pretty much anywhere else he would have gone,

718
00:46:22.960 --> 00:46:24.600
he would have been dead on day one.

719
00:46:24.600 --> 00:46:27.760
But there was a supernatural grace

720
00:46:27.760 --> 00:46:29.320
that protected St. Patrick

721
00:46:29.320 --> 00:46:33.080
that was on the scale of the grace on Moses and Elijah.

722
00:46:33.080 --> 00:46:33.920
It was wild.

723
00:46:33.920 --> 00:46:36.240
So the Druid's rage

724
00:46:36.240 --> 00:46:37.960
and they're coming after him to kill him.

725
00:46:37.960 --> 00:46:41.000
And this is one of the most powerful testimonies, right?

726
00:46:41.000 --> 00:46:44.440
Is that the earth actually opened up and swallowed them.

727
00:46:44.440 --> 00:46:47.360
That's the recording of those that were there

728
00:46:47.360 --> 00:46:51.280
is that the earth opened up and swallowed the Druids.

729
00:46:51.280 --> 00:46:54.440
And at that point,

730
00:46:56.120 --> 00:46:58.960
everyone's just like, whoa.

731
00:46:58.960 --> 00:47:01.480
Like at that point, the resistance ended.

732
00:47:01.480 --> 00:47:04.920
At that point, the fear and the awe of God just went

733
00:47:04.920 --> 00:47:07.760
and came up, just fell on Ireland, right?

734
00:47:07.760 --> 00:47:09.160
And so after that,

735
00:47:09.160 --> 00:47:12.240
the Irish people just started converting like crazy.

736
00:47:12.240 --> 00:47:13.920
Okay, and just to think about this, okay.

737
00:47:13.920 --> 00:47:14.760
And just if you're like,

738
00:47:14.760 --> 00:47:17.160
oh, I don't know about these testimonies.

739
00:47:18.320 --> 00:47:20.600
Obviously over centuries, some things can change a little,

740
00:47:20.920 --> 00:47:22.760
but think about the magnitude of this, right?

741
00:47:22.760 --> 00:47:26.040
One man goes to a nation

742
00:47:26.040 --> 00:47:28.800
that is steeped in centuries of Druidism

743
00:47:28.800 --> 00:47:31.600
and one man in a very short space of time

744
00:47:31.600 --> 00:47:34.360
converts pretty much an entire nation, okay?

745
00:47:34.360 --> 00:47:37.600
You don't do that with a few little tricks and gimmicks.

746
00:47:37.600 --> 00:47:41.480
You have to have outrageous supernatural power backing you

747
00:47:41.480 --> 00:47:44.200
to convert, to disciple, to change an entire nation

748
00:47:44.200 --> 00:47:45.760
in a short space of time.

749
00:47:45.760 --> 00:47:47.960
So that was one of the massive, massive moments.

750
00:47:48.640 --> 00:47:53.440
That just dropped fear and awe of God right across Ireland.

751
00:47:53.440 --> 00:47:55.520
And then the Irish just start coming

752
00:47:55.520 --> 00:47:57.160
in droves to St. Patrick

753
00:47:57.160 --> 00:47:58.520
and they're giving their lives to Jesus.

754
00:47:58.520 --> 00:48:00.920
They're getting baptized like crazy.

755
00:48:00.920 --> 00:48:03.840
And then the next major event that St. Patrick did

756
00:48:03.840 --> 00:48:05.240
is he went up this mountain,

757
00:48:05.240 --> 00:48:09.200
which is now known as Craig Patrick, I think.

758
00:48:09.200 --> 00:48:11.360
So it's like Mount Patrick.

759
00:48:11.360 --> 00:48:16.040
And he engaged in a 40-day season of prayer and fasting.

760
00:48:16.040 --> 00:48:17.200
Remind you of Moses, right?

761
00:48:17.360 --> 00:48:19.920
He goes up the mountain for 40 days of prayer and fasting.

762
00:48:19.920 --> 00:48:21.640
He's in the elements, okay?

763
00:48:21.640 --> 00:48:22.640
He doesn't have a tent.

764
00:48:22.640 --> 00:48:25.840
He's on the top of a mountain in the elements,

765
00:48:25.840 --> 00:48:28.320
prayer and fasting for 40 days.

766
00:48:28.320 --> 00:48:31.320
And it was a full-on power encounter.

767
00:48:31.320 --> 00:48:33.280
What they recorded was that there was so much

768
00:48:33.280 --> 00:48:36.280
demonic activity that actually the mountain was covered

769
00:48:36.280 --> 00:48:37.560
in these black birds.

770
00:48:38.520 --> 00:48:42.360
And anyway, 40 days of prayer and fasting.

771
00:48:42.360 --> 00:48:44.160
And it was a huge spiritual battle.

772
00:48:44.160 --> 00:48:46.160
You can go way in depth on this.

773
00:48:46.160 --> 00:48:48.280
It was really well recorded.

774
00:48:48.280 --> 00:48:50.080
The spiritual pressure was so intense.

775
00:48:50.080 --> 00:48:52.560
St. Patrick wasn't sure if he was gonna make it,

776
00:48:52.560 --> 00:48:53.760
but he had visitations.

777
00:48:53.760 --> 00:48:55.440
And eventually he received the breakthrough

778
00:48:55.440 --> 00:48:57.360
that he was looking for.

779
00:48:57.360 --> 00:49:00.080
And what was recorded is that during the intensity,

780
00:49:00.080 --> 00:49:02.960
black birds came over the mountain.

781
00:49:02.960 --> 00:49:04.160
And then when he got the breakthrough,

782
00:49:04.160 --> 00:49:06.880
all the black birds scattered.

783
00:49:06.880 --> 00:49:08.760
And then actually white birds came

784
00:49:08.760 --> 00:49:09.720
and landed on the mountain.

785
00:49:09.720 --> 00:49:11.520
But after that moment, right?

786
00:49:11.520 --> 00:49:14.120
After that moment where there was like the full,

787
00:49:14.120 --> 00:49:15.800
like they'd had the power encounter with the druids

788
00:49:16.440 --> 00:49:17.560
and the kings, and then he went face-to-face

789
00:49:17.560 --> 00:49:19.880
with the spiritual principalities and powers

790
00:49:19.880 --> 00:49:20.880
up on the mountain.

791
00:49:20.880 --> 00:49:23.600
And boom, after that, it was just the,

792
00:49:23.600 --> 00:49:25.120
like all the brakes were off.

793
00:49:25.120 --> 00:49:29.440
Ireland went into full-scale awakening.

794
00:49:29.440 --> 00:49:32.200
You know, there were pockets of resistance here and there.

795
00:49:32.200 --> 00:49:33.480
They still made it, you know,

796
00:49:33.480 --> 00:49:35.800
a couple of attempts on his life.

797
00:49:35.800 --> 00:49:39.280
But Ireland just opened up like a flower to the gospel.

798
00:49:39.280 --> 00:49:40.840
From like, you preach the gospel,

799
00:49:40.840 --> 00:49:43.880
you died to it, opened up like a flower.

800
00:49:43.880 --> 00:49:45.840
And people came by foot.

801
00:49:45.840 --> 00:49:47.560
They came by boat to St. Patrick's.

802
00:49:47.560 --> 00:49:48.400
There was healings.

803
00:49:48.400 --> 00:49:51.000
There was 33 recorded resurrections.

804
00:49:51.000 --> 00:49:52.760
He planted over 300 churches.

805
00:49:52.760 --> 00:49:56.840
He baptized over 120,000 people.

806
00:49:56.840 --> 00:49:58.560
And it just broke out.

807
00:49:58.560 --> 00:50:00.080
And then the testimony of.

808
00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:06.080
what they did from there, it led to Scotland being converted, it led to England being converted,

809
00:50:06.080 --> 00:50:11.760
the monastic and missions culture and system that he set up, it then led to Celtic missionaries

810
00:50:11.760 --> 00:50:16.880
going all through Europe and influencing Europe for centuries. When there was the Dark Ages in

811
00:50:16.880 --> 00:50:23.120
Europe, there was no Dark Ages in Ireland, right? Ireland was in awakening, crazy awakening, like

812
00:50:23.120 --> 00:50:29.280
extreme awakening, possibly one of the greatest open heaven atmospheres in world history. It was

813
00:50:29.280 --> 00:50:37.360
just phenomenal. Prayer, worship, the nation was flooded with heaven. And there was a prophecy that

814
00:50:38.320 --> 00:50:44.480
St. Patrick received on his deathbed. He said, on his deathbed, he saw this light receding, but he

815
00:50:44.480 --> 00:50:49.520
had this prophecy, basically like an end times prophecy that this light will come again of this

816
00:50:49.520 --> 00:50:57.440
radical open heaven. So that is the story of St. Patrick. How wild is that, right?

817
00:51:00.160 --> 00:51:08.000
How wild is that, that the story of St. Patrick, and he discipled a nation, and then the

818
00:51:08.000 --> 00:51:13.520
impact of that, like I said, I won't go into it now, but it led to Scotland being converted,

819
00:51:13.520 --> 00:51:19.280
it led to England being converted, it led to Celtic missionaries, you know, reaching right throughout

820
00:51:19.280 --> 00:51:25.040
Europe. So that's our first story. And I've got one more story for you before we wrap up today.

821
00:51:25.040 --> 00:51:29.840
Remember, our important thing here that we want to focus on is collaboration, okay? So

822
00:51:29.840 --> 00:51:36.480
collaboration, we've got collaboration with heaven, and we've got collaboration with,

823
00:51:37.680 --> 00:51:42.240
so we've got collaboration with heaven, and then that's what St. Patrick demonstrated,

824
00:51:42.240 --> 00:51:48.240
right? He demonstrated the power of what can happen when we collaborate with heaven. So if

825
00:51:48.240 --> 00:51:53.120
you collaborate with heaven, and this is what I'm believing for in this generation, that we can

826
00:51:53.120 --> 00:51:59.840
collaborate with heaven like St. Patrick. Listen, it took one man to bring down an entire nation.

827
00:51:59.840 --> 00:52:05.600
What do you think would happen in the earth when there's a corporate manifestation of the sons of

828
00:52:05.600 --> 00:52:10.560
God who collaborate with heaven like St. Patrick? What do you think is possible? Look, God only

829
00:52:10.560 --> 00:52:16.320
needed one man, Moses, to bring down Pharaoh and the greatest superpower in the world. He needed

830
00:52:16.320 --> 00:52:21.680
just one man. So now as we're standing in agreement with God for a corporate breakthrough, we're

831
00:52:22.640 --> 00:52:27.280
decreeing and declaring and standing in agreement like, yes, God, we believe for a corporate

832
00:52:27.280 --> 00:52:31.360
unveiling of the sons of God. Listen, we're believing that that's going to happen for a

833
00:52:31.360 --> 00:52:35.760
people group, but you know what? We actually only need a couple of people. You need a couple of sons

834
00:52:35.760 --> 00:52:40.640
can change the whole world. You need one St. Patrick to shift an entire nation. You need one

835
00:52:40.640 --> 00:52:45.520
Moses to bring down entire world's greatest superpower. So listen, what we're believing

836
00:52:45.520 --> 00:52:50.640
for right now is that heaven's finest, we're going from glory to glory, the greatest outpouring that

837
00:52:50.640 --> 00:52:54.400
the world has ever seen. This is what we're standing in agreement for and believing for.

838
00:52:54.400 --> 00:52:59.760
And we corporately are going to step into this as a corporate manifestation of the sons of God.

839
00:52:59.760 --> 00:53:04.000
So get ready. The world is exciting. So it's collaboration number one that we need to

840
00:53:04.000 --> 00:53:09.120
understand and walk in and journey into and discover is collaboration with heaven

841
00:53:09.120 --> 00:53:15.760
like St. Patrick, because that disciples nations. Collaboration number two is the Clapham Saints.

842
00:53:15.760 --> 00:53:19.120
Now, I'm not sure if you've heard of these guys, but the Clapham Saints were,

843
00:53:21.280 --> 00:53:30.160
the Clapham Saints are probably the best example in the world of a group of people who collaborated

844
00:53:30.160 --> 00:53:34.240
together, right? Like we don't want to, it's a season where we can't just collaborate with

845
00:53:34.240 --> 00:53:37.040
heaven. We've got to collaborate with him. We've got to collaborate with each other. So

846
00:53:37.040 --> 00:53:42.880
check out the Clapham Saints. So these guys give you context right on when they live and see if

847
00:53:42.880 --> 00:53:47.600
this resonates with you in terms of where we're at. But imagine you were living in a time where

848
00:53:47.600 --> 00:53:54.960
a satanic cult had infiltrated every area of society and destroyed almost all godly values

849
00:53:54.960 --> 00:54:01.760
in society where they were engaged in the wholesale shitting of innocent blood, just

850
00:54:01.760 --> 00:54:08.240
relentlessly. Imagine if injustice was seen at every turn and your very society and the wealth

851
00:54:08.240 --> 00:54:16.320
of your society was blatantly coming through extremely evil funds and extremely evil enterprises

852
00:54:16.320 --> 00:54:22.480
and almost all of society loved and celebrated a wicked evil system. Imagine if you could,

853
00:54:23.440 --> 00:54:29.440
couldn't or couldn't travel, right? Imagine if travel was strictly controlled through a special

854
00:54:29.440 --> 00:54:36.640
past system. Imagine that. Imagine if preaching the gospel was controlled and mission was outlawed.

855
00:54:36.640 --> 00:54:43.040
Imagine if people were being unjustly executed for the slightest of crimes and the court system

856
00:54:43.040 --> 00:54:49.680
was so corrupt that guilt or innocence were not very important, right? So that, right, that is

857
00:54:49.680 --> 00:54:59.920
England in 1797. In the 1700s, 1800s, that was England. And it's in that moment, it's that 17...

858
00:55:00.000 --> 00:55:07.040
1797, about 1797, when the Clapham Saints began in the context of a society that was

859
00:55:07.040 --> 00:55:13.200
completely corrupt and evil and a group now you most likely know this group but the Masons

860
00:55:13.200 --> 00:55:17.840
right they are a my family has heritage back in the Masons the deeper you get into the

861
00:55:17.840 --> 00:55:23.560
Masons you realize it's Satan worship but Masons ran the military and they were releasing

862
00:55:23.560 --> 00:55:28.480
coordinated colonization and the mass shedding of innocent blood and it was the height of

863
00:55:28.480 --> 00:55:33.360
the African slave trade and it was said that you know even up somewhere around up to 90%

864
00:55:33.360 --> 00:55:39.120
of the government were on the take and directly benefiting from slavery there were 220 different

865
00:55:39.120 --> 00:55:46.760
crimes that you could receive the death penalty for it was known as the bloody code you know

866
00:55:46.760 --> 00:55:50.880
for example you could receive the death sentence for being in the company of gypsies for more

867
00:55:50.880 --> 00:55:56.680
than one month you could receive the death sentence if there was strong evidence of malice

868
00:55:56.680 --> 00:56:01.880
in a child aged 7 to 14 years old and you could receive the death sentence for blackening

869
00:56:01.880 --> 00:56:05.920
your face like putting a little bit of camo if you were involved in a crime and there's

870
00:56:05.920 --> 00:56:12.000
all these different crimes over 220 crimes you receive the death sentence for in that

871
00:56:12.000 --> 00:56:19.880
in 60 years from 1770 to 1830 there were at least at least 7,000 executions so basically

872
00:56:19.880 --> 00:56:24.520
every three days would be a public execution you know for 60 years so that's kind of a

873
00:56:24.520 --> 00:56:28.960
dodgy society right where there's just constant public executions all the time every week

874
00:56:28.960 --> 00:56:34.720
multiple executions that's kind of the way it was a constant stream of executions and

875
00:56:34.720 --> 00:56:38.760
you know it could just be for stealing bread or it could be because a kid had a bad attitude

876
00:56:38.760 --> 00:56:42.480
or it could be because you were hanging out with gypsies this is crazy missionary work

877
00:56:42.480 --> 00:56:47.960
was almost outlawed and I'll explain that in a minute and that's the context when the

878
00:56:47.960 --> 00:56:53.400
Clapham Saints came together to face off against the giants of darkness that were running their

879
00:56:53.400 --> 00:56:59.040
nation I don't know if any of that sounds familiar to you but so a guy named Henry Venn

880
00:56:59.040 --> 00:57:07.520
and he is the vicar of the Clapham Street Anglican Church in London and they began this

881
00:57:07.520 --> 00:57:12.600
group himself and he started to gather a bunch of guys so some of the key players were John

882
00:57:12.600 --> 00:57:17.520
Thornton and Charles Grant and William Wilberforce and Samuel Marsden and John Venn so these guys

883
00:57:17.560 --> 00:57:24.240
started to gather together Samuel Marsden kind of came in a bit later but they they were a group

884
00:57:24.240 --> 00:57:28.840
a diverse group of people okay but they were they were vicars they were lawyers they were

885
00:57:28.840 --> 00:57:34.760
politicians they were bankers they were celebrities of the day there were scholars writers evangelists

886
00:57:34.760 --> 00:57:40.080
apostles philanthropists teachers social reformers animal lovers and just so much more right they

887
00:57:40.080 --> 00:57:47.080
created this whole group of people who wanted to stand against evil and stand to bring down

888
00:57:47.120 --> 00:57:52.840
the giants of darkness in their day and they accomplished what see what would have seemed

889
00:57:52.840 --> 00:57:59.000
to be impossible over and over again they had three main causes right number one was

890
00:57:59.000 --> 00:58:04.120
the abolition of slavery number two was social reform they wanted to change laws there was

891
00:58:04.120 --> 00:58:08.280
just so much poverty corruption they're like we're gonna change this so social reform was

892
00:58:08.280 --> 00:58:14.840
number two and number three was mobile release this come on Jesus come on Jesus we need signal

893
00:58:14.840 --> 00:58:26.320
in the name of Jesus right now okay signal in the name of Jesus signal in the name of Jesus okay

894
00:58:26.320 --> 00:58:32.000
fam I think we're just having some okay we're back I'm just a clearing signal so pray with me

895
00:58:32.000 --> 00:58:37.280
declare signal in the name of Jesus so somehow our signal got blocked so just declare with me

896
00:58:37.280 --> 00:58:46.040
signal in the name of Jesus okay so so the Clapham Saints were the force behind William Wilberforce

897
00:58:46.040 --> 00:58:52.120
okay so with the abolition of slavery you can imagine like when they started this nearly 90%

898
00:58:52.120 --> 00:58:56.600
of the government everyone's on board on the tape with slavery and then they stand up and say slavery

899
00:58:56.600 --> 00:59:03.720
is wrong that like everyone hated them so much and it took them over 30 years battling this and

900
00:59:03.720 --> 00:59:12.440
then finally on July the 26 1833 they passed the final law saying slavery is abolished it's illegal

901
00:59:12.440 --> 00:59:18.040
and then William Wilberforce died just three days later they managed to reduce the death sentence

902
00:59:18.040 --> 00:59:23.560
from over 200 you know like from 220 crimes that had the death sentence to around eight crimes that

903
00:59:23.560 --> 00:59:29.080
carried the death penalty and they worked on all levels influencing society teaching kids poverty

904
00:59:29.080 --> 00:59:36.040
relief employment social justice employment conditions law reforms politics literature

905
00:59:36.040 --> 00:59:41.480
they founded a university they shaped fashion they changed people's mindsets with preaching

906
00:59:41.480 --> 00:59:47.080
they created action groups they started the CMF which is the Christian military mission fellowship

907
00:59:47.080 --> 00:59:53.080
so missions organization and they sparked evangelism and discipleship one example of like

908
00:59:53.080 --> 00:59:57.880
changing laws right was this law that if you had a small debt you could be thrown in prison well

909
00:59:57.880 --> 00:59:59.720
they got 14 000

910
01:00:00.000 --> 01:00:07.920
seven people released from prison by changing the law on the small debts law. So that's pretty

911
01:00:07.920 --> 01:00:14.320
amazing. There's a thing called the East India Company. So the third thing here is missions,

912
01:00:14.320 --> 01:00:20.240
right? So East India Company was basically, it was just a corporation, but it was so massive.

913
01:00:20.800 --> 01:00:25.840
And they basically controlled all the British influence in India. They controlled the military

914
01:00:25.920 --> 01:00:31.040
in India. And they said that if you don't have a special pass, you can't come here. So they

915
01:00:31.040 --> 01:00:35.600
wouldn't let any missionaries on their ships. It was illegal for missionaries to travel on

916
01:00:35.600 --> 01:00:41.600
their ships. You had to have a special pass. You had to either work for the company or you basically

917
01:00:41.600 --> 01:00:46.480
or get a special pass. And otherwise you couldn't travel on their ships. You couldn't go to India.

918
01:00:46.480 --> 01:00:51.520
And again, the masons are high up controlling these things. They don't want missionaries there.

919
01:00:51.520 --> 01:00:55.120
So they tried to make a change and it didn't work. But there's this guy, Charles Grant,

920
01:00:55.120 --> 01:00:59.520
who was working for the company. He wanted to see reform in the company. The Clapham Saints,

921
01:00:59.520 --> 01:01:04.720
he's part of the Clapham Saints. So they gathered together and it actually took them 21 years to get

922
01:01:04.720 --> 01:01:09.920
a reform. And one of the things that they did is he worked his way up the company until he actually

923
01:01:09.920 --> 01:01:17.120
became the chairman of the East India Company. And then that wasn't going to be enough to change

924
01:01:17.120 --> 01:01:22.480
the charter. So they also gathered by hand, like handwritten on paper back in the day,

925
01:01:23.040 --> 01:01:29.360
half a million signatures on a petition requesting to change the law to make it legal

926
01:01:29.360 --> 01:01:35.840
for missionaries to travel. And they did. And it opened up an explosion of missions. So these guys,

927
01:01:35.840 --> 01:01:41.360
the Clapham Saints, they started over 200 organizations. And the CMF, the Church Missions

928
01:01:41.360 --> 01:01:46.480
Fellowship, they started that. And they sent missionaries all over the world. There's more

929
01:01:46.480 --> 01:01:50.240
than 9,000 missionaries being mobilized to date through them. They're still around.

930
01:01:50.240 --> 01:01:56.320
But they also started their own colony, Sierra Leone. They started Freetown, the capital. They

931
01:01:56.320 --> 01:02:01.040
started their city. And what they were doing is they were repatriating slaves who'd been

932
01:02:01.040 --> 01:02:05.440
liberated in America and actually taking them back. And they took them back to Sierra Leone.

933
01:02:05.440 --> 01:02:09.680
These guys, they had a lot of martyrs. So many of their missionaries were dying because of health.

934
01:02:09.680 --> 01:02:14.880
It was so difficult to travel. But they wouldn't stop going. Just wave after wave, missionaries

935
01:02:14.880 --> 01:02:19.040
dying. But wave after wave, they kept on going. Wave after wave, they kept on going all over the

936
01:02:19.040 --> 01:02:23.760
world. Didn't matter how many of them were dying as martyrs. They kept on going and they advanced

937
01:02:23.760 --> 01:02:29.840
the gospel. So now pretty much anywhere where you see an Anglican church, that is the legacy of

938
01:02:29.840 --> 01:02:35.200
these guys, the Clapham Saints. So in Africa alone, it's tens of millions of people in Anglican

939
01:02:35.200 --> 01:02:41.360
churches. And these guys, this is their legacy. They came to New Zealand as well. And it's

940
01:02:41.360 --> 01:02:46.560
impossible to describe how significant and how influential they were in the formation. This group

941
01:02:46.560 --> 01:02:51.600
of people, the Clapham Saints, in the formation of Aotearoa New Zealand. And we're still, the world

942
01:02:51.600 --> 01:02:57.440
is still yet to see how powerful their influence was. Their legacy is still unfolding. And then I

943
01:02:57.440 --> 01:03:03.360
told you at the start, right, in the mid-1800s, New Zealand, Aotearoa New Zealand had revival. The

944
01:03:03.360 --> 01:03:10.000
Māori people were between 50 to 75 percent gave their lives to Jesus in this massive, massive

945
01:03:10.000 --> 01:03:17.440
outpouring. Well, that was them influencing that as well. So the Clapham Saints understood the power

946
01:03:17.440 --> 01:03:22.240
of collaboration with each other. St. Patrick understood the power of collaborating with

947
01:03:22.240 --> 01:03:27.040
heaven. So let's just bring this in for a landing. We're going to wrap it up in a moment. But our

948
01:03:27.040 --> 01:03:32.560
context and our calling, right, for St. Patrick and the Clapham Saints, the context they were

949
01:03:32.560 --> 01:03:39.280
birthed in was the context of extreme evil and organized systemic evil, corruption and chaos,

950
01:03:39.360 --> 01:03:45.440
right? The level of evil and the sophistication, the networks, the organization, the wealth and

951
01:03:45.440 --> 01:03:52.960
the influence of evil in our day is exponentially greater than what they faced, right? But the grace

952
01:03:52.960 --> 01:04:00.240
that is upon us is exponentially greater. And the only way to topple these evil regimes and

953
01:04:00.240 --> 01:04:06.320
to make disciples of all nations, as we have been commissioned to do, is through massive

954
01:04:06.320 --> 01:04:12.720
collaboration. We require massive collaboration with heaven and massive collaboration together.

955
01:04:12.720 --> 01:04:19.760
So remember, St. Patrick, it just took, God took one St. Patrick, the Moses of the New Testament,

956
01:04:19.760 --> 01:04:26.480
and they used one man, God used one man to bring down an entire empire of darkness. What we're

957
01:04:26.480 --> 01:04:32.400
believing for, right, as we stand in agreement for a corporate unveiling of the sons of God,

958
01:04:32.400 --> 01:04:39.360
is we're believing for an army of St. Patricks and St. Francis and St. Maria of Agridas, an army

959
01:04:39.360 --> 01:04:44.240
is what we're believing for. And it's going to require us to break free from the giant of lack,

960
01:04:44.240 --> 01:04:49.680
right? So we can actually see and we can begin to dream with God for above and beyond what we've

961
01:04:49.680 --> 01:04:54.400
ever dared to ask, dream, pray, think, or even imagine. We have to be able to dream on a scale

962
01:04:54.400 --> 01:04:59.360
we've never conceived before, because that's where God wants to take us. And we can only go where God

963
01:04:59.360 --> 01:05:00.160
wants to go.

964
01:05:00.000 --> 01:05:05.440
we can see what he sees. So it requires that we dream with him like never before. As we looked

965
01:05:05.440 --> 01:05:09.680
at in the first season, it's being baptized in love that breaks the power of that lack,

966
01:05:09.680 --> 01:05:14.320
enables us to ascend and to rise and to dream with God. It's going to require that we break

967
01:05:14.320 --> 01:05:21.600
agreement with unbelief and put all of our agreement with the promises and the prophecies

968
01:05:21.600 --> 01:05:26.640
and the destiny that God has spoken over us individually and corporately. So if we want to

969
01:05:26.640 --> 01:05:30.560
start shifting things and aligning with heaven and collaborating with heaven, our agreements

970
01:05:30.560 --> 01:05:36.320
are going to have to be wholeheartedly landing in agreement with God for his prophetic destiny,

971
01:05:36.320 --> 01:05:40.800
for his promises, for what he has for you as an individual and for us in this generation,

972
01:05:40.800 --> 01:05:46.400
this hour right now. So, you know, like my breakthrough testimony is yours and yours is

973
01:05:46.400 --> 01:05:52.000
mine. This is a corporate thing we're going after. So all over the earth, we have got to lift up the

974
01:05:52.000 --> 01:05:57.440
corporate sound of agreement and step into the fruition of Paul's prophecy that will shift normal

975
01:05:57.440 --> 01:06:02.560
on the face of the earth forever through a viral outbreak of sun chips. What's that going to look

976
01:06:02.560 --> 01:06:07.760
like? Millions of St. Patrick's breaking out all over the earth simultaneously. You try and control

977
01:06:07.760 --> 01:06:15.200
that. You try and shut that down. You know, the anointing on just one St. Patrick brought down

978
01:06:15.200 --> 01:06:20.720
an entire empire. You know, the giant slaying anointing that was on King David, it enabled him

979
01:06:20.720 --> 01:06:26.800
to take an oppressed tribal group and become a global superpower in one generation.

980
01:06:27.600 --> 01:06:33.520
So we've got to break through as well, break free from this giant of distraction and come into

981
01:06:33.520 --> 01:06:40.480
extreme laser focus on our individual and corporate assignments that revolve around our standing

982
01:06:40.480 --> 01:06:45.200
orders from Jesus. OK, Jesus gave us the Great Commission and it doesn't matter what your

983
01:06:46.000 --> 01:06:52.240
eschatology is, what your theology is, how clever you are, you cannot be so clever that you

984
01:06:52.240 --> 01:06:57.120
that you can justify disobedience. All right. It doesn't matter what your eschatology is.

985
01:06:57.120 --> 01:07:02.480
You cannot have such good eschatology that justifies being in disobedience. That's not

986
01:07:02.480 --> 01:07:07.680
an option. Our standing orders from heaven are to disciple nations and come what may,

987
01:07:07.680 --> 01:07:13.600
that's the stand that we have to take to baptize entire nations into the divine dance. So

988
01:07:15.600 --> 01:07:18.960
we've got to break free from that giant of distraction. It can use theology,

989
01:07:18.960 --> 01:07:23.600
can use all sorts of good things to cause us to be distracted from the call. And the call

990
01:07:23.600 --> 01:07:29.280
is to disciple nations and baptize nations into the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

991
01:07:29.280 --> 01:07:32.880
And to do that, the only way we're actually going to effectively do that is through

992
01:07:32.880 --> 01:07:38.880
massive collaboration with heaven and massive collaboration with each other. So tomorrow,

993
01:07:39.840 --> 01:07:45.200
we take on the giant of apathy, but which is going to be awesome. We're going to break the

994
01:07:45.200 --> 01:07:51.120
giant of apathy tomorrow and we're going to step into a boldness that causes us to take massive,

995
01:07:51.120 --> 01:07:56.560
consistent, strategic actions that will do whatever it takes to bring our dreams to life.

996
01:07:56.560 --> 01:08:00.160
So right now, what we're going to do is we're going to finish with a declaration.

997
01:08:00.160 --> 01:08:05.760
So get your, get your, I don't know, you might want to stand up, you might want to get comfortable,

998
01:08:06.240 --> 01:08:11.680
but I just want you to decree after me and let's just begin to put our agreements with heaven

999
01:08:11.680 --> 01:08:16.479
right now. So this is going to be simple. Just decree with me and I'm going to pray and then

1000
01:08:16.479 --> 01:08:26.000
then we're done for this session. So here we go. We decree and we declare, we mandate and we

1001
01:08:26.000 --> 01:08:35.279
legislate that we do the greater works in Jesus name. We walk in the greater works of Jesus.

1002
01:08:36.240 --> 01:08:44.800
We are one. The corporate unveiling of the sons of God has begun. We will disciple nations in Jesus

1003
01:08:44.800 --> 01:08:53.279
name. We break all agreement with lack. We dream with God in Jesus name. We see what God sees.

1004
01:08:53.279 --> 01:09:00.240
We say what God says. We break agreement with unbelief. We place all of our agreement with

1005
01:09:00.240 --> 01:09:05.920
heaven. God has released a viral outbreak of sonship all over the planet in Jesus name.

1006
01:09:05.920 --> 01:09:13.760
We break all agreement with distraction. We step into divine focus in Jesus name. We embrace our

1007
01:09:13.760 --> 01:09:20.640
individual and corporate assignments in Jesus name. We break agreement with apathy. We take

1008
01:09:20.640 --> 01:09:29.359
massive collaborative actions with heaven and with each other to disciple nations in Jesus name.

1009
01:09:29.920 --> 01:09:37.680
We walk in radical signs, wonders and miracles. We receive nations as our inheritance. The knowledge

1010
01:09:37.680 --> 01:09:43.920
of the glory of the Lord shall cover the face of the earth as the waters cover the sea. Every ruler

1011
01:09:44.000 --> 01:09:51.920
will worship and obey Jesus. Every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.

1012
01:09:53.040 --> 01:09:56.640
Amen fam. That's our declaration for today. We're going to close it there,

1013

1027
01:11:09.920 --> 01:11:16.800
