What a, what an honor, what a treat, what a delight to be with you this morning.
It's morning my time.
I am crazy excited about what is going to happen right now.
We have a huge day.
Just got some amazing news, surprise news.
So if you don't know my spiritual mom, Nancy Cohen,
she's a world changer and she's agreed.
She's one of the busiest people in the world,
but she's agreed to jump on board with us for a live interview at 2pm
today. So that is going to be wild.
Yeah. So I'm, let me just do a couple of quick tech things,
but as you're jumping on, whether you were jumping on live or delayed,
I just want to say it's such an honor to have you with us.
So thank you for, thank you for jumping on board.
Thank you for being a part of what's happening here.
And in the, in the comments,
why don't you drop something that's that's stood out something that's been
of value for you so far.
Let me know if you enjoyed the interview with Todd Weatherly
yesterday, pastor Todd Weatherly from Australia,
phenomenal move of God happening there.
I just love what God's doing with those guys.
So let me know if you got to catch that. And if you did,
what did you love about it? That'd be cool to hear.
And here we go.
Just got one little thing I'm doing here.
So this session is,
it is going to be intense. Now I promised you as well.
I promised you that I would show you a picture. So yesterday I promised you,
here we go.
All the tech stuff is done and everything's happening like it should be.
But yesterday I promised you that I would show you a picture of something
awesome. And I'm just about to do that.
Just had to turn my heater off.
Cause it's going to get hot in here and it's going to be pretty glorious.
So I'm going to just in one moment,
I'm going to share with you a very exciting picture about
just a photo of something God's done and we're going to get into it.
So this session is called those who disciple
nations. And once again, I just want to welcome and honor everyone.
Thank you for being a part of this, whether you're live or delayed,
it is an honor. So drop in the comments, you know,
where you are from what time it is and what you're getting out of this
adventure.
So I don't know if you know much about
Aotearoa New Zealand, but that's where I'm based.
I'm based in Aotearoa, New Zealand,
and there are so many prophecies about New Zealand being an East gate,
right? So we, one of the first places,
really the first country in the world to see the sun,
our good friend Papa Norm in Gisborne,
they're basically the first city in the world to see the sun.
And so we talk often, especially a few years ago,
there was this real resurgence in this word about the East gate and about
how God was going to take something from here, from the East gate.
And he was going to just blow it up around the world.
And there's many prophecies like that about New Zealand and not,
if you don't know, New Zealand has a revival history.
So in the 1800s, when the gospel came here,
basically the second wave of the gospel coming here,
it exploded in revival and 50 to 75% roughly.
Some people actually say high of the moldy people are converted to
Christianity in a massive move of God signs, wonders,
and miracles and the whole nation was ablaze with revival fire.
Now, when we started talking about this,
when we started talking about this whole East gate move,
something that happened, you know,
we started talking about these prophecies, something happened.
And so I'm going to share my screen with you and show you a picture and
tell you a story of,
of just an amazing testimony of something that happened in our town when we
started talking about this. Okay.
So hopefully you can see this reasonably well.
And it's kind of faint, but it's just, it's just taken on an iPhone,
but you should be able to see that it basically,
it looks like the sunrise, right? Pretty obvious.
You can see those rays there. So this,
the interesting thing about this photo, right,
is that this photo was taken in the evening. Okay.
So what's actually happening here, this is,
this photo was taken in the evening and that's facing east and facing
west. The sun is sitting at the same time. Okay.
So I don't know if you've ever had that, uh, but happened before,
but in our town, when we were talking about this East gate thing,
this happened multiple times.
I got the whole town talking like, what the heck is going on?
Because the.
sun was setting in the west and while the sun was going down over the mountains to the west,
we would have these rays shining out from the east. And so we just took this as a sign and a
wonder of God just confirming his word about this phenomenal move of God that he wants to release
through the east gate from Aotearoa New Zealand to the nations. Like I said, this happened multiple
times. It was very, very exciting. Got the whole town buzzing like, what's happening? So I thought
I'd share that with you as I promised I would. And I hope that's an encouragement to you of just
the cool things that God's doing all around the world. Now, when you start stepping into alignment
with God's word and the prophetic destiny on your life, when you start aligning, powerful things can
start happening. You start putting your agreement with the prophetic words that God has released,
powerful things can start happening. So another example of that is, you know, actually around a
similar time to that, we actually got a hold of this word that came out of the Azusa Street
revival. So from 1906 to 1909, there was an outpouring in Azusa Street, downtown LA,
and the supernatural glory cloud, right? The Shekinah glory cloud was there for basically
every day for three and a half years. So they just had this constant Shekinah glory cloud. The kids
would come, right? The kids would come into the meetings and there'd be so much glory. But when
people looked at their feet, they couldn't look at the ground, they couldn't see their own feet
because the Shekinah glory all around them. But the kids would play hide and go seek in the glory.
But Charles Parham and William Seymour both prophesied at the end of that outpouring that
in around a hundred years, God will begin. He'll start the beginning process of restoring the
Shekinah glory back to the church in an even greater measure. So we each played this testimony,
played this prophecy in church. And then one of our guys, he went home and a Shekinah glory cloud
appeared in his home that went down his hallway and then went into his room and then just kind
of dissipated. And he shared this and I was like, whoa, Shekinah glory cloud, this is wild. And so
I was just like, wow, God, what is this? I just really leaned in and he said, I see a cloud,
the size of a man's fist. And if you know the story of Elijah, you know, get ready because
it's about to rain. And then multiple times since then with our crew, in our community,
we've had Shekinah glory clouds turn up. Once it turned up in one of our guys room,
the Shekinah glory cloud turned up in the middle of the night. It was so bright. It was like Matthew
17, where a bright shining cloud appeared on the Mount of Transfiguration, Matthew 17. Well,
this bright shining cloud appeared in his room in the middle of the night and just lit up his whole
room and just blasted him in glory. So this is the power of agreement. Placing agreement releases
signs and wonders and miracles. This is just a foretaste, just a beginning of what God is about
to do. So let's pray. And then we are going to light this up today. If you're excited,
drop excited. If you want some fire and some glory, just drop fire and glory in the comments,
because today my friend is going to be fire and glory. So, Papa, Yeshua, Holy Spirit, we
thank you that the best is yet to come. We thank you that you are taking us from glory to glory.
We thank you for your prophetic words, Lord. We thank you that you are going to begin to restore
the Shekinah glory back to the church in a greater measure than the world has ever seen
before. Lord, we thank you that there's a move of God coming through the East Gate. Lord, we thank
you that we're on the verge of the greatest awakening in world history. Lord, we thank you
for Bob Jones' prophecy of a billion soul harvest. Papa, we thank you for what you are saying through
your prophets, what you're saying through your spirit all over the face of the earth. Get ready,
get ready for awakenings, get ready for revivals, get ready for outpourings, get ready for an
unveiling and a manifestation of the sons of God in the earth like never before in Jesus' name.
So, Lord, we come into alignment and agreement with your words. We come into alignment and
agreement with your prophets. We come into alignment and agreement with your heart.
And Lord, we just say, as we step into alignment, fill us, flood us, anoint us, commission us,
launch us, send us out, mantle us, equip us, go before us. Papa, I thank you for divine
appointments. I thank you for divine provision. I thank you for outpourings of your spirit. I thank
you for grace upon grace, for glory upon glory. Papa, I thank you that in the midst of it all,
more than anything, there will be right now for every person a fresh, intimate, living encounter
with your very self, that the very essence of relationship.
The essence of oneness, the essence of divine union will come upon them.
Papa, I thank you for the outpouring of your spirit in our lives right now, Lord, and the
outpouring of your love.
I thank you for a baptism in your love.
I thank you for a baptism in your fire right now.
In Jesus name, Holy Spirit, we say, breathe on us.
As we step into alignment for heaven's finest, we say, Lord, take us.
Like Isaiah said in Isaiah 6, here am I, send me.
We say, in response to your heart, Lord, we say, whom shall I send and who will go for
us?
Papa, our heart's cry is, here we are, send us, in your beautiful name, Jesus, amen.
Family, I don't know, let me just quickly, let me just quickly show you that photo again
a few people have jumped on here, but this is the photo that I promised I would show
you.
And this photo is a photo, it was taken facing east, but it's taken while the sun's going
down in the west.
So this manifestation, it was like, we just, we just view it as like supernatural glory
rays, because when we're talking about this promise that God has, this prophecy that God
has that a move of God is going to come through Aotearoa, through the East Gate and break
out into the world through this crazy wild awakening, when we were speaking about that
and highlighting that, we would have these supernatural glory rays multiple times appeared
while the sun was setting in the west, these glory rays appeared in the east, and they
just like got the whole town like shaken up, like, what the heck is this?
It only happened for a season of a few months, but it happened multiple times and then never
again.
Thought I'd share that with you just quickly.
So fam, we are getting into the session now on those who disciple nations.
And yesterday, we looked at just a few of the saints and mystics from the past who walked
in phenomenal supernatural power and signs and wonders.
And they had significant influence on kingdoms, on advancing the gospel, on revealing what
is possible for us to walk in.
Let me know if you love those testimonies.
And we also exposed the giant of unbelief.
All right. And the two lies that it will relentlessly throw at you and at every promise that God
has for your life.
So the lie number one is it's not possible.
Right. The promises of God don't exist.
They're not possible. Number two is, oh, yeah, it's possible.
It's just not possible for you.
All right. That's the giant of unbelief speaking.
Now, the greatest way to break off the first lie is through the power of testimony, right?
Seeing an impossibility happening.
That's why I brought up those phenomenal testimonies yesterday, because the power of the testimony
breaks off the lie that it's not possible because it's already been done.
And that's why I wanted to share with you those testimonies from yesterday.
And I'm going to say that just the tiniest, tiniest, tiniest little drop in the bucket
of the heritage that we have as Christians, the heritage that we have of the
the heritage that we have, if we can find it, the heritage that we have is mind blowing.
So, you know, it is radically supernatural, the heritage we have.
And at no point in New Testament history has God been without a radical expression of
supernatural power somewhere in the earth.
So those testimonies, they have to deal with the first lie, which says these things aren't
possible. Remember, I shared that vision from 2009 of Shekinah glory habitations, this
move of God where the church completely transitioned from the old way of church of what we knew.
But I had this vision of persecution coming in these habitations of glory being
established in the earth and people being stepping into this whole new
dynamic of relationship with God, this whole new dynamic of the supernatural coming upon
us, this whole new collaboration with heaven, a supernatural convergence coming, signs,
wonders and miracles, transportation, transfiguration was just crazy what I've seen in the visions.
But listen, everything that I've seen, it's now starting to happen.
And and also when we share with you these testimonies of the saints of old that have actually
walked in it, we see that not only is it possible, it's already happened.
And when we talked yesterday as well about Paul's prophecy, which is get
ready because it's about to hit as a corporate manifestation, not just ones and twos,
but when seasons change like they have, right, when seasons change, what was once rare
becomes common.
And what we're going to start to see is that what was once rare just speckled throughout
history right now already on the planet.
It's common. That's one of the reasons why I had Todd jump on board with us yesterday
and share how God's moving in their fellowship.
There's so many places around the world where it's breaking out like this already and it's
coming like we've never imagined.
So I just want you to declare this with.
I just want you to say, it is possible, all right?
So just repeat after me.
It is possible for anyone who believes
to do what Jesus did and even greater things.
That's John 14, 12.
Anyone who has faith in me will do what I've been doing.
They will do even greater things than these.
And you were born for the greater works
and the giant of unbelief wants to snatch
that promise from you,
but you were born for the greater works.
So just declare this with me.
I was born for the greater works in Jesus' name.
Yes, you were.
So the second lie is that it's not possible for you
and it's designed to get you to place
your agreements with Satan,
place your agreements with unbelief and not with God.
And when we do that, we shut down the promises of God
and the power of God in our lives.
Here's something dynamic, right?
We don't just shut down the power
and the promises of God in our life, right?
Because what is unfolding right now
is a corporate manifestation of the sons of God.
So if we want to see a corporate breakthrough,
it requires corporate agreement.
So if you aren't in agreement with the promise of God
for our generation, you're not just holding yourself back,
you're actually, we're actually holding
our whole generation back, right?
Because what we're doing right now, it's corporate.
God's calling us corporately to step into this.
So we need a corporate agreement
for a corporate manifestation.
So this is why it's so urgent what we're doing
is just to break off the lies of the giant of unbelief
so we can have corporate agreement
that releases a corporate manifestation of the promise.
And that's one of the reasons why yesterday as well,
we broke out Paul's apostolic prophecy.
So let me pull up again, Paul's apostolic prophecy.
Let's pull that up.
And when we pull this up,
I'm just gonna cut to a slideshow
for a second with you guys.
So here we go.
And we are going, if you wanna follow in your Bibles,
we are going to Ephesians 4,
and I'm gonna read this to you
from the amplified version of the Bible.
Right, here we go.
So this is Paul's prophecy that we looked at yesterday,
Ephesians 4, 12 to 13.
His intention, Christ's intention was the full,
perfecting and the full equipping of the saints.
Perfecting, that's a big deal right there.
Just say perfecting and equipping of the saints
as consecrated people,
that they should do the work of ministering
toward building up Christ's body, the church,
that it might develop until,
now listen, that's where this until that we see right here,
this until is gonna manifest on the timeline.
This is an event that he's prophesying, okay?
Just like the cross was an event in the timeline,
the birth of Jesus was an event on the timeline,
this until is gonna be an event on the timeline.
We, until we all attain oneness in the faith
and in the comprehension of the full
and accurate knowledge of the Son of God
that we might arrive at really mature manhood,
the completeness of personality,
which is nothing less than the standard height
of Christ's own perfection,
the measure of the stature of the fullness of the Christ
and the completeness found in him.
Come on, it's exactly the same as what he,
you know, it means exactly the same thing
as what he said his mission statement was, right?
So let's look at Paul's mission statement,
Colossians 1, 28 to 29,
him we preach and proclaim,
warning and demolishing everyone and instructing everyone.
This is corporate and all wisdom,
comprehensive insight into the ways and purposes of God
that we may present every person mature,
full grown, fully initiated,
complete and perfect in Christ, the anointed one,
for this I labor unto weariness,
striving with all the superhuman energy,
which he so mightily and kindles and works within me.
Paul had this promise,
Paul had this belief he'd had some encounter with the Lord
that left him with this conviction
that what he was supposed to be dreaming for,
fighting for, believing for, sacrificing for,
all that he was suffering for was going towards
this purpose of a corporate manifestation of sonship
where we step in, right?
Where everything that veils Christ in us is consumed
and only Christ remains.
And we step corporately into this full on manifestation
as the sons of God.
And that's what Paul lived for.
That's what he prophesied.
He prophesied it through all his writings.
Romans 8, 19 says it again,
for the creation of all creation waits with eager longing
and expectation for the revealing of the sons of God.
So this is the ESV version,
but there's so many versions of it.
For the creation waits with eager longing.
Other translations say eager expectation
for the revealing of the sons of God.
So this is.
What we were sharing about yesterday, but when we talk about agreement, right, if we
want a corporate manifestation, it requires corporate agreement.
So I just want to make a couple of declarations right now together, right?
Let's just declare this together.
I want you to declare this, to say, I was born for the greater works, all right?
Just declare that.
We were born for the greater works in Jesus name.
Listen, like we have to hear something that we have to do.
We have to break the giant of unbelief off of ourselves personally, but also off of our
generation.
Okay.
Cause it's gotta be a corporate, if we want a corporate breakthrough, it requires corporate
agreement.
So when you are standing in agreement and you're making these declarations and you,
you're agreeing with the prophetic words, you're agreeing with, um, with the word of
God, when you're making these agreements and declarations right now, you are not alone,
right?
The heaven is hearing the sound, right?
It's the sound of all of us as a generation.
We are one and we're releasing corporately a sound before heaven and heaven is wanting
us to stand in agreement and birth these promises.
Okay.
It's the sound of our corporate agreement that's going to release the corporate manifestation.
So I want to encourage you in your declarations.
You are not alone.
We are one of the sound, we lift the sound of faith, the sound of declaration, it rises
together to produce a corporate manifestation.
So we have to like shift the mindset of the church to start believing for a corporate
breakthrough of the greater works.
All right.
We have to start seeing that my breakthrough is your breakthrough.
We are going on this corporately.
We are one on this journey.
So when one person gets a breakthrough on the planet right now, we all get a breakthrough
because God is going after a corporate move, not an individual one.
So we have to embrace and just celebrate each other's breakthroughs and victories
like never before.
You know, that's one of the reasons why we had Pastor Todd Weatherly sharing about the
amazing move of God in their church, because we get to celebrate together because it's
not just Todd's breakthrough.
It's our breakthrough as a generation.
It's not just Todd's heritage.
It's our heritage.
It's not just their testimony.
It's our testimony as the corporate body of Christ and we get to celebrate it.
So one thing I'd love you to do in the comments, like share your testimonies, all right, let
the whole world celebrate your testimonies and your breakthroughs, because they're not
just your breakthroughs, they're our breakthroughs.
Another awesome thing on that, if you missed it, is that at 2 p.m. today, we had exciting
news.
My spiritual mom, Nancy Cohen, who's got some of the wildest breakthroughs in the world,
she has agreed to be with us live at 2 p.m. for a live interview.
She's one of the busiest people in the world, so it's going to be epic.
Watch your emails for details on that.
So just again, this journey that we're on is about a corporate unveiling of the Sons
of God that shifts normal on the face of the earth forever.
When we have that, what's it going to look like?
Millions of, you know, the St. Francis', millions of St. Francis of Assisi, St. Francis of Paola,
St. Francis Xavier, Catherine of Siena, St. Maria of Agrigia, millions of us all stepping
into a corporate breakthrough all over the world.
This is going to be an unstoppable force from heaven being released into the earth.
Now what's it all about, right?
It's not just about signs and wonders, right?
That's a distraction, actually.
It's not about signs and wonders.
It's actually about the standing orders that we have from Jesus.
Now I think that some people, it's like their eschatology has got in the way of obedience,
right?
If your eschatology, if your perception or perspective on the world gets in the way of
obedience, that's a problem, right?
But you can't get so smart, you can't get so clever that it justifies disobedience to
the commission.
And we have standing orders from Jesus, right?
And those standing orders is Matthew 28, 19, go therefore and make disciples of all nations,
baptizing them into the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
So if your theology, if your eschatology, if you're so clever that you've justified
living in disobedience, something's wrong, okay?
This journey is not just about like signs and wonders and happy feelings, it's about
fulfilling the great commission, which is to disciple nations.
And so today, what we're really focusing on is those who disciple nations.
So I've got two of the most phenomenal testimonies in world history, and they're really quite
unknown testimonies of how Christians toppled evil regimes, how they toppled demonic empires
and how they actually established the kingdom of God on earth and discipled nations and
shaped history.
So let me know if you're excited about that, because there's something that we have to
see, right?
There's something that we have to see in these moves of God, in these people, that is critical
us in this generation. So in their secret you can kind of catch it in Psalm 133, so let me read that.
How good and pleasant it is when God's people live together in unity. It is like the precious
oil poured on the head running down on the bed, running down on Aaron's beard, down on the collar
of his robe. It is as if the Jew of Hermon were falling on Mount Zion, for there the Lord bestows
his blessing, even life forevermore. Now there is a blessing that's so powerful that it disciples
nations and it comes out of unity, all right? It comes out of collaboration, out of unity. So we're
going to be exploring this of how the Christians of the past have utilized the power of collaboration
to disciple nations. Collaboration with heaven and collaboration with each other. These are the two
keys that unlock the blessing that disciple nations is collaboration with heaven,
oneness with heaven, and collaboration with each other, oneness with each other. So
we're going to see those two types of collaboration in action and either way there is,
you know, where there is unity, heaven commands a massive blessing and that blessing has the power
to disciple nations. So my objective is to get you to start believing for what God really has
in store, okay? So this is my dream. I'm trying to inspire you. I'm trying to get you to believe
for a great collaboration with heaven and with each other on a scale that the world has never
seen before. So feel free to like have permission to dream bigger because that's what I'm going
after. So, you know, this is one thing that this great persecution is coming on the west,
coming on the world. One thing that's producing as it sweeps the earth right now is it's producing
an urgent collaboration, okay? So there's a sense of urgency that's coming on us which is a good
thing, okay? The urgency is a good thing because casual has not been able to produce the breakthrough
we needed, all right? But urgency will. As the urgency comes upon us, it will produce a greater
level of collaboration with heaven and with each other than we have ever seen because if we don't
collaborate, we will not stand in this storm, all right? We will not stand in this storm alone.
God's designed the storm in a way that it's so intense that you cannot stand alone. We must
step into collaboration with heaven and we must step into collaboration with each other like we've
never done before. So our first story is one you'll probably, you will have definitely heard the name
of the guy but it'll be interesting and most of the time people don't know the real story behind
St. Patrick. So say St. Patrick, he is the man. I would suggest that St. Patrick is the most
epic person in the New Testament that has ever lived, you know, apart from Jesus, St. Patrick,
I've never found anyone who accomplished the level of fruit that St. Patrick did. In my mind,
St. Patrick is the Moses of the New Testament and he walked in signs and wonders on that same level,
on like the biblical proportion of what Moses walked in, that's what St. Patrick walked in.
So as we start talking about St. Patrick, don't just think, you know, about leprechauns and
Guinness, all right? You need to actually start shifting your mindset because St. Patrick is,
I would suggest to you, he is the most like phenomenal demonstration of sonship that the
world has ever seen. He is the Moses of the New Testament. So let me give you a little bit of
context, like world history context of where St. Patrick was, then we're going to jump into his
story. So when, you know, like the early church, right? So from the time that Stephen was martyred
in 35 AD, like persecution never stopped, okay? It began there and it never stopped. In 202 AD,
Emperor Septimius forbid, he like, he forbid Christian conversion, right? In 250 AD,
Emperor Decius, he ordered universal sacrifice, right? So you had to get a sacrifice. I don't
know if this sounds familiar to you, right? But you had to do something. In 250 AD, you had to
sacrifice to a pagan God and get a certificate actually saying you'd sacrificed to this pagan
God. And if you didn't have that certificate, then you would go to jail or you'd be facing
massive persecution. So that caused massive persecution in the church to break out. And
then there was a reprieve and a bunch of people who had sacrificed, right? Then they actually
came back into the church. And some of the Christians had a problem with that, right?
Because there's all these people who sold out and sacrificed to demons. And they're like,
why are you coming back into the church now? And that actually caused a little bit of a split
in the church because some people were like Puritans and then these other people who'd been
like compromising. And because of that, it started a movement called the Desert Fathers. So some of
these Desert Fathers, they went out, they were some of the original mystics and some of the
original guys who just leaned into like real deep prayer and meditation.
live these pure lives. But whole cities began to spring up in the desert as people escaped
corruption and went after purity and moved to the desert. So in 298, like 300 AD, Christians were
forced to leave the Roman army. Then in 303 AD, a massive persecution broke out. Churches were
destroyed. Christian writings were destroyed. There was systematic slaughter of Christians.
They had to sacrifice to pagan gods or die. Like, how's that, right? Sacrifice to a demon,
prove you're not a Christian, or die. That was the rule of law. That was the government for you.
312 AD, things changed. And now this is around where St. Patrick was born in the late 300s.
But in 312 AD, Constantine, he conquered as an emperor, but he made Christianity
legal. But when he did that, he basically swapped out all his mates, right? So he had the pagan
priests. He just let them be Christian priests. He had the pagan temples. He let them be Christian
churches. So a huge influx of corruption flooded the church like never before. So what you were
seeing then is this unparalleled level of corruption flooding the church. And like the
government controlled all the money for the church. And so the level of corruption and
depravity in the church was just unprecedented. And people were wondering, is an authentic
expression of the gospel actually going to survive, right? So it's around this time, okay?
So it's in like the late 300s that St. Patrick is born. He's born at a time where they're like,
oh my gosh, the church is so corrupt. Is there any purity? And there were a handful of these
people who are still held to purity. They'd been through extreme persecution. So you had
these Christians who were like radical Christians and just knew the power of God and just sold out
for Jesus. And then you had this massive systemic corruption in the church at the same time.
And so that's the context that St. Patrick was born into. So he was born in Britain,
and then he was kidnapped by pirates at the age of 16. But St. Patrick, even from the time
he was young, he was just noted as someone who saw signs and wonders and miracles around his
life. He was noted as someone who was like, well, this guy is like set apart for God. There's
something about his life. But at 16, he was kidnapped by Irish pirates and taken to Ireland
as a slave for six years. And then he actually escaped awesome supernatural stories while he was
a slave, when he escaped all radical God interventions. But when he came back to
Britain, God actually called him to Ireland. And he actually spent decades preparing to go back.
And it wasn't until he was about 60 that he actually left back for Ireland. But when he
goes back, he spent decades preparing for this. When St. Patrick went back to Ireland, he was
like full on boss level. This guy was a machine. He was just so on fire. And he just had so much
intimacy and so much union. And he traveled all around Europe and met some of the most amazing
Christians in the world. And he was ready to go. He was right on point with his divine assignment.
He goes at age 60. And a lot of people thought it was just certain death, right?
So when he went there, he took a top down approach to discipling a nation. So I want you to say that
top down, okay? What does that look like? He did minister to just the everyday people,
but he didn't just stop there. He was like, you know what? I'm going after the kings. I'm going
after the druids. It was an extremely dangerous place to live. But to go as a missionary,
people thought he would have been killed right away. But there was an exceptional
supernatural protection on his life from God, right? Every single time they tried to kill him,
they couldn't touch him. The supernatural protection of God on St. Patrick's life was
just unparalleled. Nothing they could do. So I'm going to hear some stories in a moment. But
one of the first things that he did is there was this festival where kings, right? Where
no one could light a fire in the whole area. You couldn't light a fire to cook your food.
You couldn't do anything on this particular festival until the king had lit his massive
fire on the highest hill in the area. And once you saw the king light his fire,
then everyone else could light their fire. So St. Patrick's like, stuff you, man. I'm going
after this nation. I'm going to get an audience with the king. Sorry, St. Patrick. So he builds
this huge bonfire. And before the king lights his fire, St. Patrick lights his bonfire. And this was
a direct challenge, right? This was a power encounter. He was challenging the king. He was
challenging their gods. And it was a showdown, okay? So this is intense. This is...
almost like Elijah and the Prophets of Baal type stuff. This is like Moses with pharaohs,
magicians. This is a big deal. Okay, so get ready because you're going to hear some wild stuff. But
let me just preface this. When St. Patrick came on the earth, people were concerned whether or
not the authenticity of the gospel could make it. There was so much corruption in the church,
and there was so much concern that will the purity of the gospel survive, or is the flame
of the church, the flame of the gospel, about to go out in the midst of the darkness of corruption?
So it's important to understand the magnitude of where things were at historically when God sends
St. Patrick into hostile territory to subdue and take dominion. There's a massive anointing
on St. Patrick's life. He was the Moses of the New Testament for a reason, okay? It was huge,
this hugely critical and significant, the hour that God sent St. Patrick into. It's important
to understand that because the power that was on his life is going to blow your mind.
So the kings up there, the druids are with him. They see this other fire
light, and they're like, whoa, what is going on there? Who is that? And then they realize it's St.
Patrick. And they were already wary of him, right? Because in their own culture, there was a
long-standing prophecy about a man who looked just like St. Patrick, who would bring a divine
revelation. So they already were like, whoa, is this the prophecy being fulfilled? So the druids,
the kings, everyone knew the prophecy. And there was a little bit like, whoa, is this the guy that's
coming? Because they already had it embedded into their culture, this prophecy about a man. And they
were wondering if St. Patrick was the man. But at that moment, right, in that very moment,
one of the druids said to the king, he said, if you do not put out that fire, it will become a fire
that is never put out in this land. And the man who lit it will become more famous than kings
or queens. Whoa, how intense is that? So they all rush over there, the king, the druids,
the soldiers, they rush over there in their chariots, obviously in full rage and full battle
mode. They're trying to intimidate St. Patrick. But he comes out singing, right? His response
to them coming with everything is he just comes out singing. He comes out singing,
some trust in horses and some in chariots, but we trust in the Lord. OK, that's his response
then coming in their mind. One of the leading druids began boasting of his power in a display
of demonic power. He began to levitate in front of everyone. Now, Patrick, he just starts praying.
And this druid falls dead in front of everyone. Now, this is something that you will see.
You know, in the New Testament, we see this and we see Ananias and Sapphira. There's a,
you know, they get struck down. We see, you know, an angel strikes. I think it's Herod
strikes him down for claiming that basically everyone's saying he's a god. He's like, yeah.
And boom, gets struck, struck down. There's this weightiness around, you know, that will come
sometimes that you can't miss the glory of God when the glory of God is moving in a certain way.
There is a reverence. There is a fear of God that's demanded. It's not just Old Testament.
There's a New Testament weightiness where you can't mess with the glory. You can't mess with
the purposes and the plans of God. There is a line there. And so there's this like awe starts
to come around St. Patrick, because they're like, whoa, who is this guy? He just prayed.
And this druid, he just collapses. He was levitating. He just falls dead in front of everyone.
So this is like sparking a bit of fear of God, but it hasn't really set in. And they actually,
first of all, they just set into a massive rage, right? They drew their swords and then they're
about like trying to attack him, right? But he prays. And then the Lord put a confusion on them,
right? And all these soldiers, they're all there. A storm swirls up, a confusion comes on them,
and they just all started attacking each other, right? So St. Patrick is just there by himself.
They've got this, all these soldiers. And instead of like him being attacked,
this is why I'm saying there was a supernatural protection on St. Patrick that is just
mind-blowing. The fear and the awe that began to come around and began to be huge.
So these guys, they were trying to kill him. But instead of that, this confusion came on.
They just started fighting each other. And they killed about 50 of their own number before
they stopped. And the king's like, whoa, whoa, whoa. And so the king says, OK, come and meet me
in my palace tomorrow. But he set an ambush for St. Patrick along the way. So St. Patrick's like,
sweet, we'll come. We'll meet you at your palace tomorrow. And it was on the walk to the palace.
that one of St. Patrick's most famous prayers was birth.
So while they were walking on this walk to the palace,
this is when he wrote this prayer.
It says, and just feel free to like,
just say amen to this.
This is wild.
I'll post this up in the,
I'll post this up in the comments later
so you can have a copy.
But this is the prayer of St. Patrick says,
I arise today through a mighty strength,
the invocation of the Trinity,
through a belief in the threeness,
through confession of the oneness
of the creator of creation.
I arise today through the strength of Christ's birth
and his baptism,
through the strength of his crucifixion and his burial,
through the strength of his resurrection and his ascension,
through the strength of his descent
for the judgment of doom.
I arise today through the strength of the love of cherubim
and obedience of angels and service of archangels
in the hope of resurrection to meet with reward
and the prayers of patriarchs
and preachings of the apostles
and faiths of confessors and innocence of virgins
and deeds of righteous men.
I arise today through the strength of heaven,
light of the sun, splendor of fire,
speed of lightning, swiftness of the winds,
depth of the sea, stability of the earth,
firmness of the rock.
I arise today through God's strength to pilot me,
God's might to uphold me, God's wisdom to guide me,
God's eye to look before me, God's ear to hear me,
God's word to speak for me, God's hand to guard me,
God's way to lie before me, God's shield to protect me,
God's host to save me from snares of the devil,
from temptations of vices,
from everyone who desires me ill, afar and near,
alone or in a multitude.
I summon today all these powers between me and evil
against every cruel, merciless power
that opposes my body and my soul,
against incantations of false prophets,
against black laws of pagandom,
against false laws of heretics,
against craft of idolatry,
against spells of woman and smiths and wizards,
against every knowledge that corrupts man's body and soul.
Christ shield me today against poison,
against burning, against drowning, against wounding
so that reward may come to me in abundance.
Christ with me, Christ before me, Christ behind me,
Christ in me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
Christ on my right, Christ on my left,
Christ when I lie down, Christ when I sit down,
Christ in the heart of every man who thinks of me,
Christ in the mouth of every man who speaks of me,
Christ in the eye that sees me,
Christ in the ear that hears me.
I arise today through a mighty strength,
the invocation of the Trinity,
through a belief in the threeness,
through a confession of the oneness
of the creator of creation.
How wild is that for a declaration, right?
Now, here's the crazy thing that he wouldn't have known
while he was making that declaration.
Remember, as well, just to highlight that he said,
shield me from poison.
Well, get ready.
What they didn't realize is that while they were walking
there, the king had set an ambush, right?
So there's this whole ambush there waiting.
They're waiting for St. Patrick and his guys to come through.
But when they walked through the ambush,
the people who were there lying, waiting ambush,
all they saw was, you know, like St. Patrick
and eight of his disciples walked through.
But what the druids and the warriors saw
were eight deer and a fawn.
The king was amazed when St. Patrick actually turned up
alive at the palace.
He's like, well, how did you even get through the ambush?
But he was hostile again.
And as a rival, he invited him to drink,
you know, to eat and drink.
But he gave St. Patrick poisoned wine to drink, okay?
So St. Patrick blessed the cup.
He turned the cup upside down in front of everyone
and only the poison fell out.
And then he drank the wine.
And then another powerful druid rose up to challenge him.
And the druid, this was again,
this is a power encounter similar to Moses and Pharaoh.
The druid and his assistants called in snow
and a dark fog, right?
So they're showing off their supernatural powers
to exercise power over the elements.
And then St. Patrick challenged,
he said, well, why don't you try and make it leave?
And the guy couldn't.
So St. Patrick prayed and the sun came out
and the snow disappeared.
And they wanted a more definitive power encounter, right?
They were like, no, we've got to just see
who's the most powerful here.
And the result was like, the king's like, okay,
well, why don't you throw your holy books in the water?
and the one that comes out dry will be the winner.
And the Druid's like, no, no, no, no, no, no,
because St. Patrick's God is the God of the water as well.
And St. Patrick was like, yeah, that's fine.
But the Druid's like, no, no, no.
So the King says, we'll throw them into the fire.
And St. Patrick's like, yeah, that's fine.
And the Druid's like, no, no, no, no,
because his God's the God of the fire too.
So in the end, this is the elaborate power encounter
that they came to, they're like, okay,
this is what we're going to do to prove
that the Druid's God is the real God.
This is what they're doing.
St. Patrick's like, okay, this is fine.
So the arrangement was,
they took one of St. Patrick's disciples
and they dressed him in a Druid's robe
and they surrounded him with dry sticks.
And then they took the Druid
and they surrounded him with green sticks covered in water,
remind you of Elijah and Baal.
And then they put them both inside a house
and they set the house on fire.
And what happened,
St. Patrick's disciple was fine.
All that burned up on him was the Druid's robe,
but the Druid was burned alive.
And then the Druid's disciples, they rage again.
The King's raging, the Druid's raging, they hate this.
You can understand this is centuries
of Druid worship going in
and St. Patrick is going into centuries of Druid worship
and just challenging the Kings, challenging the Druids
and pretty much anywhere else he would have gone,
he would have been dead on day one.
But there was a supernatural grace
that protected St. Patrick
that was on the scale of the grace on Moses and Elijah.
It was wild.
So the Druid's rage
and they're coming after him to kill him.
And this is one of the most powerful testimonies, right?
Is that the earth actually opened up and swallowed them.
That's the recording of those that were there
is that the earth opened up and swallowed the Druids.
And at that point,
everyone's just like, whoa.
Like at that point, the resistance ended.
At that point, the fear and the awe of God just went
and came up, just fell on Ireland, right?
And so after that,
the Irish people just started converting like crazy.
Okay, and just to think about this, okay.
And just if you're like,
oh, I don't know about these testimonies.
Obviously over centuries, some things can change a little,
but think about the magnitude of this, right?
One man goes to a nation
that is steeped in centuries of Druidism
and one man in a very short space of time
converts pretty much an entire nation, okay?
You don't do that with a few little tricks and gimmicks.
You have to have outrageous supernatural power backing you
to convert, to disciple, to change an entire nation
in a short space of time.
So that was one of the massive, massive moments.
That just dropped fear and awe of God right across Ireland.
And then the Irish just start coming
in droves to St. Patrick
and they're giving their lives to Jesus.
They're getting baptized like crazy.
And then the next major event that St. Patrick did
is he went up this mountain,
which is now known as Craig Patrick, I think.
So it's like Mount Patrick.
And he engaged in a 40-day season of prayer and fasting.
Remind you of Moses, right?
He goes up the mountain for 40 days of prayer and fasting.
He's in the elements, okay?
He doesn't have a tent.
He's on the top of a mountain in the elements,
prayer and fasting for 40 days.
And it was a full-on power encounter.
What they recorded was that there was so much
demonic activity that actually the mountain was covered
in these black birds.
And anyway, 40 days of prayer and fasting.
And it was a huge spiritual battle.
You can go way in depth on this.
It was really well recorded.
The spiritual pressure was so intense.
St. Patrick wasn't sure if he was gonna make it,
but he had visitations.
And eventually he received the breakthrough
that he was looking for.
And what was recorded is that during the intensity,
black birds came over the mountain.
And then when he got the breakthrough,
all the black birds scattered.
And then actually white birds came
and landed on the mountain.
But after that moment, right?
After that moment where there was like the full,
like they'd had the power encounter with the druids
and the kings, and then he went face-to-face
with the spiritual principalities and powers
up on the mountain.
And boom, after that, it was just the,
like all the brakes were off.
Ireland went into full-scale awakening.
You know, there were pockets of resistance here and there.
They still made it, you know,
a couple of attempts on his life.
But Ireland just opened up like a flower to the gospel.
From like, you preach the gospel,
you died to it, opened up like a flower.
And people came by foot.
They came by boat to St. Patrick's.
There was healings.
There was 33 recorded resurrections.
He planted over 300 churches.
He baptized over 120,000 people.
And it just broke out.
And then the testimony of.
what they did from there, it led to Scotland being converted, it led to England being converted,
the monastic and missions culture and system that he set up, it then led to Celtic missionaries
going all through Europe and influencing Europe for centuries. When there was the Dark Ages in
Europe, there was no Dark Ages in Ireland, right? Ireland was in awakening, crazy awakening, like
extreme awakening, possibly one of the greatest open heaven atmospheres in world history. It was
just phenomenal. Prayer, worship, the nation was flooded with heaven. And there was a prophecy that
St. Patrick received on his deathbed. He said, on his deathbed, he saw this light receding, but he
had this prophecy, basically like an end times prophecy that this light will come again of this
radical open heaven. So that is the story of St. Patrick. How wild is that, right?
How wild is that, that the story of St. Patrick, and he discipled a nation, and then the
impact of that, like I said, I won't go into it now, but it led to Scotland being converted,
it led to England being converted, it led to Celtic missionaries, you know, reaching right throughout
Europe. So that's our first story. And I've got one more story for you before we wrap up today.
Remember, our important thing here that we want to focus on is collaboration, okay? So
collaboration, we've got collaboration with heaven, and we've got collaboration with,
so we've got collaboration with heaven, and then that's what St. Patrick demonstrated,
right? He demonstrated the power of what can happen when we collaborate with heaven. So if
you collaborate with heaven, and this is what I'm believing for in this generation, that we can
collaborate with heaven like St. Patrick. Listen, it took one man to bring down an entire nation.
What do you think would happen in the earth when there's a corporate manifestation of the sons of
God who collaborate with heaven like St. Patrick? What do you think is possible? Look, God only
needed one man, Moses, to bring down Pharaoh and the greatest superpower in the world. He needed
just one man. So now as we're standing in agreement with God for a corporate breakthrough, we're
decreeing and declaring and standing in agreement like, yes, God, we believe for a corporate
unveiling of the sons of God. Listen, we're believing that that's going to happen for a
people group, but you know what? We actually only need a couple of people. You need a couple of sons
can change the whole world. You need one St. Patrick to shift an entire nation. You need one
Moses to bring down entire world's greatest superpower. So listen, what we're believing
for right now is that heaven's finest, we're going from glory to glory, the greatest outpouring that
the world has ever seen. This is what we're standing in agreement for and believing for.
And we corporately are going to step into this as a corporate manifestation of the sons of God.
So get ready. The world is exciting. So it's collaboration number one that we need to
understand and walk in and journey into and discover is collaboration with heaven
like St. Patrick, because that disciples nations. Collaboration number two is the Clapham Saints.
Now, I'm not sure if you've heard of these guys, but the Clapham Saints were,
the Clapham Saints are probably the best example in the world of a group of people who collaborated
together, right? Like we don't want to, it's a season where we can't just collaborate with
heaven. We've got to collaborate with him. We've got to collaborate with each other. So
check out the Clapham Saints. So these guys give you context right on when they live and see if
this resonates with you in terms of where we're at. But imagine you were living in a time where
a satanic cult had infiltrated every area of society and destroyed almost all godly values
in society where they were engaged in the wholesale shitting of innocent blood, just
relentlessly. Imagine if injustice was seen at every turn and your very society and the wealth
of your society was blatantly coming through extremely evil funds and extremely evil enterprises
and almost all of society loved and celebrated a wicked evil system. Imagine if you could,
couldn't or couldn't travel, right? Imagine if travel was strictly controlled through a special
past system. Imagine that. Imagine if preaching the gospel was controlled and mission was outlawed.
Imagine if people were being unjustly executed for the slightest of crimes and the court system
was so corrupt that guilt or innocence were not very important, right? So that, right, that is
England in 1797. In the 1700s, 1800s, that was England. And it's in that moment, it's that 17...
1797, about 1797, when the Clapham Saints began in the context of a society that was
completely corrupt and evil and a group now you most likely know this group but the Masons
right they are a my family has heritage back in the Masons the deeper you get into the
Masons you realize it's Satan worship but Masons ran the military and they were releasing
coordinated colonization and the mass shedding of innocent blood and it was the height of
the African slave trade and it was said that you know even up somewhere around up to 90%
of the government were on the take and directly benefiting from slavery there were 220 different
crimes that you could receive the death penalty for it was known as the bloody code you know
for example you could receive the death sentence for being in the company of gypsies for more
than one month you could receive the death sentence if there was strong evidence of malice
in a child aged 7 to 14 years old and you could receive the death sentence for blackening
your face like putting a little bit of camo if you were involved in a crime and there's
all these different crimes over 220 crimes you receive the death sentence for in that
in 60 years from 1770 to 1830 there were at least at least 7,000 executions so basically
every three days would be a public execution you know for 60 years so that's kind of a
dodgy society right where there's just constant public executions all the time every week
multiple executions that's kind of the way it was a constant stream of executions and
you know it could just be for stealing bread or it could be because a kid had a bad attitude
or it could be because you were hanging out with gypsies this is crazy missionary work
was almost outlawed and I'll explain that in a minute and that's the context when the
Clapham Saints came together to face off against the giants of darkness that were running their
nation I don't know if any of that sounds familiar to you but so a guy named Henry Venn
and he is the vicar of the Clapham Street Anglican Church in London and they began this
group himself and he started to gather a bunch of guys so some of the key players were John
Thornton and Charles Grant and William Wilberforce and Samuel Marsden and John Venn so these guys
started to gather together Samuel Marsden kind of came in a bit later but they they were a group
a diverse group of people okay but they were they were vicars they were lawyers they were
politicians they were bankers they were celebrities of the day there were scholars writers evangelists
apostles philanthropists teachers social reformers animal lovers and just so much more right they
created this whole group of people who wanted to stand against evil and stand to bring down
the giants of darkness in their day and they accomplished what see what would have seemed
to be impossible over and over again they had three main causes right number one was
the abolition of slavery number two was social reform they wanted to change laws there was
just so much poverty corruption they're like we're gonna change this so social reform was
number two and number three was mobile release this come on Jesus come on Jesus we need signal
in the name of Jesus right now okay signal in the name of Jesus signal in the name of Jesus okay
fam I think we're just having some okay we're back I'm just a clearing signal so pray with me
declare signal in the name of Jesus so somehow our signal got blocked so just declare with me
signal in the name of Jesus okay so so the Clapham Saints were the force behind William Wilberforce
okay so with the abolition of slavery you can imagine like when they started this nearly 90%
of the government everyone's on board on the tape with slavery and then they stand up and say slavery
is wrong that like everyone hated them so much and it took them over 30 years battling this and
then finally on July the 26 1833 they passed the final law saying slavery is abolished it's illegal
and then William Wilberforce died just three days later they managed to reduce the death sentence
from over 200 you know like from 220 crimes that had the death sentence to around eight crimes that
carried the death penalty and they worked on all levels influencing society teaching kids poverty
relief employment social justice employment conditions law reforms politics literature
they founded a university they shaped fashion they changed people's mindsets with preaching
they created action groups they started the CMF which is the Christian military mission fellowship
so missions organization and they sparked evangelism and discipleship one example of like
changing laws right was this law that if you had a small debt you could be thrown in prison well
they got 14 000
seven people released from prison by changing the law on the small debts law. So that's pretty
amazing. There's a thing called the East India Company. So the third thing here is missions,
right? So East India Company was basically, it was just a corporation, but it was so massive.
And they basically controlled all the British influence in India. They controlled the military
in India. And they said that if you don't have a special pass, you can't come here. So they
wouldn't let any missionaries on their ships. It was illegal for missionaries to travel on
their ships. You had to have a special pass. You had to either work for the company or you basically
or get a special pass. And otherwise you couldn't travel on their ships. You couldn't go to India.
And again, the masons are high up controlling these things. They don't want missionaries there.
So they tried to make a change and it didn't work. But there's this guy, Charles Grant,
who was working for the company. He wanted to see reform in the company. The Clapham Saints,
he's part of the Clapham Saints. So they gathered together and it actually took them 21 years to get
a reform. And one of the things that they did is he worked his way up the company until he actually
became the chairman of the East India Company. And then that wasn't going to be enough to change
the charter. So they also gathered by hand, like handwritten on paper back in the day,
half a million signatures on a petition requesting to change the law to make it legal
for missionaries to travel. And they did. And it opened up an explosion of missions. So these guys,
the Clapham Saints, they started over 200 organizations. And the CMF, the Church Missions
Fellowship, they started that. And they sent missionaries all over the world. There's more
than 9,000 missionaries being mobilized to date through them. They're still around.
But they also started their own colony, Sierra Leone. They started Freetown, the capital. They
started their city. And what they were doing is they were repatriating slaves who'd been
liberated in America and actually taking them back. And they took them back to Sierra Leone.
These guys, they had a lot of martyrs. So many of their missionaries were dying because of health.
It was so difficult to travel. But they wouldn't stop going. Just wave after wave, missionaries
dying. But wave after wave, they kept on going. Wave after wave, they kept on going all over the
world. Didn't matter how many of them were dying as martyrs. They kept on going and they advanced
the gospel. So now pretty much anywhere where you see an Anglican church, that is the legacy of
these guys, the Clapham Saints. So in Africa alone, it's tens of millions of people in Anglican
churches. And these guys, this is their legacy. They came to New Zealand as well. And it's
impossible to describe how significant and how influential they were in the formation. This group
of people, the Clapham Saints, in the formation of Aotearoa New Zealand. And we're still, the world
is still yet to see how powerful their influence was. Their legacy is still unfolding. And then I
told you at the start, right, in the mid-1800s, New Zealand, Aotearoa New Zealand had revival. The
Māori people were between 50 to 75 percent gave their lives to Jesus in this massive, massive
outpouring. Well, that was them influencing that as well. So the Clapham Saints understood the power
of collaboration with each other. St. Patrick understood the power of collaborating with
heaven. So let's just bring this in for a landing. We're going to wrap it up in a moment. But our
context and our calling, right, for St. Patrick and the Clapham Saints, the context they were
birthed in was the context of extreme evil and organized systemic evil, corruption and chaos,
right? The level of evil and the sophistication, the networks, the organization, the wealth and
the influence of evil in our day is exponentially greater than what they faced, right? But the grace
that is upon us is exponentially greater. And the only way to topple these evil regimes and
to make disciples of all nations, as we have been commissioned to do, is through massive
collaboration. We require massive collaboration with heaven and massive collaboration together.
So remember, St. Patrick, it just took, God took one St. Patrick, the Moses of the New Testament,
and they used one man, God used one man to bring down an entire empire of darkness. What we're
believing for, right, as we stand in agreement for a corporate unveiling of the sons of God,
is we're believing for an army of St. Patricks and St. Francis and St. Maria of Agridas, an army
is what we're believing for. And it's going to require us to break free from the giant of lack,
right? So we can actually see and we can begin to dream with God for above and beyond what we've
ever dared to ask, dream, pray, think, or even imagine. We have to be able to dream on a scale
we've never conceived before, because that's where God wants to take us. And we can only go where God
wants to go.
we can see what he sees. So it requires that we dream with him like never before. As we looked
at in the first season, it's being baptized in love that breaks the power of that lack,
enables us to ascend and to rise and to dream with God. It's going to require that we break
agreement with unbelief and put all of our agreement with the promises and the prophecies
and the destiny that God has spoken over us individually and corporately. So if we want to
start shifting things and aligning with heaven and collaborating with heaven, our agreements
are going to have to be wholeheartedly landing in agreement with God for his prophetic destiny,
for his promises, for what he has for you as an individual and for us in this generation,
this hour right now. So, you know, like my breakthrough testimony is yours and yours is
mine. This is a corporate thing we're going after. So all over the earth, we have got to lift up the
corporate sound of agreement and step into the fruition of Paul's prophecy that will shift normal
on the face of the earth forever through a viral outbreak of sun chips. What's that going to look
like? Millions of St. Patrick's breaking out all over the earth simultaneously. You try and control
that. You try and shut that down. You know, the anointing on just one St. Patrick brought down
an entire empire. You know, the giant slaying anointing that was on King David, it enabled him
to take an oppressed tribal group and become a global superpower in one generation.
So we've got to break through as well, break free from this giant of distraction and come into
extreme laser focus on our individual and corporate assignments that revolve around our standing
orders from Jesus. OK, Jesus gave us the Great Commission and it doesn't matter what your
eschatology is, what your theology is, how clever you are, you cannot be so clever that you
that you can justify disobedience. All right. It doesn't matter what your eschatology is.
You cannot have such good eschatology that justifies being in disobedience. That's not
an option. Our standing orders from heaven are to disciple nations and come what may,
that's the stand that we have to take to baptize entire nations into the divine dance. So
we've got to break free from that giant of distraction. It can use theology,
can use all sorts of good things to cause us to be distracted from the call. And the call
is to disciple nations and baptize nations into the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
And to do that, the only way we're actually going to effectively do that is through
massive collaboration with heaven and massive collaboration with each other. So tomorrow,
we take on the giant of apathy, but which is going to be awesome. We're going to break the
giant of apathy tomorrow and we're going to step into a boldness that causes us to take massive,
consistent, strategic actions that will do whatever it takes to bring our dreams to life.
So right now, what we're going to do is we're going to finish with a declaration.
So get your, get your, I don't know, you might want to stand up, you might want to get comfortable,
but I just want you to decree after me and let's just begin to put our agreements with heaven
right now. So this is going to be simple. Just decree with me and I'm going to pray and then
then we're done for this session. So here we go. We decree and we declare, we mandate and we
legislate that we do the greater works in Jesus name. We walk in the greater works of Jesus.
We are one. The corporate unveiling of the sons of God has begun. We will disciple nations in Jesus
name. We break all agreement with lack. We dream with God in Jesus name. We see what God sees.
We say what God says. We break agreement with unbelief. We place all of our agreement with
heaven. God has released a viral outbreak of sonship all over the planet in Jesus name.
We break all agreement with distraction. We step into divine focus in Jesus name. We embrace our
individual and corporate assignments in Jesus name. We break agreement with apathy. We take
massive collaborative actions with heaven and with each other to disciple nations in Jesus name.
We walk in radical signs, wonders and miracles. We receive nations as our inheritance. The knowledge
of the glory of the Lord shall cover the face of the earth as the waters cover the sea. Every ruler
will worship and obey Jesus. Every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.
Amen fam. That's our declaration for today. We're going to close it there,
but I'm going to send you emails. If you're not on the email list, go to
www.raisingroyalty.com. Jump on the email list. I'll send you all the details of our
interview with Nancy Cohen live 2pm today. It is going to be wild. Let me just pray one last
prayer. Holy Spirit, I thank you for everyone here. I thank you for sealing this word in your
presence. I thank you for breaking off the giant of lack, for breaking off the giant of unbelief,
for breaking off the giant of distraction, for breaking off the giant of apathy, and for
releasing Lord, releasing imagination, releasing the ability to dream with you, releasing faith,
releasing focus, and releasing boldness to run everything that you have for us. I pray that as
we journey on this, there'll be freshness of your presence, there'll be radical outpourings of your
love, that divine appointments will surround every person here, there'll be signs, wonders,
and miracles, and your glory go before them. And Papa, we thank you that we are standing in the
day, standing in the hour of great awakenings, of the greatest glory, of the greater works. We're
standing in the day of the greatest outpouring of the Spirit of God in world history, and we
stand in agreement with your word and with your promises that this is the day of the corporate
unveiling of the sons of God, in your beautiful name, Jesus. Amen. All right, fam. Grace be on you.
