00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:10.000
All right, everyone. I hope you're doing well. Welcome back to session two of Kingdom Wealth

2
00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:17.680
Files training series. It's been I had fun yesterday. I don't know if you guys did. Let

3
00:00:17.680 --> 00:00:24.080
me just while I'm while I'm while you guys are jumping on just check all the technology to make

4
00:00:24.080 --> 00:00:31.280
sure you guys are there and rocking and rolling. Let me know in the comments if you're there.

5
00:00:33.040 --> 00:00:41.120
Checking it out. It looks like we're there. Looks like we're there. In that place to

6
00:00:41.840 --> 00:00:45.840
give me a thumbs up in the comments. Let me know where you're coming in from.

7
00:00:46.800 --> 00:00:56.320
And one last place to check. Looks like we are good to go. Good to see you guys. Welcome to the

8
00:00:56.320 --> 00:01:03.440
party. It's been a phenomenal journey so far. I really enjoyed yesterday. Let me know what you

9
00:01:03.440 --> 00:01:12.400
got from from yesterday in the comments below. We talked a lot about favor, a lot about the

10
00:01:12.480 --> 00:01:18.240
different interactions that favor and wealth connects with. We talked about how God has given

11
00:01:18.240 --> 00:01:24.160
us the ability to produce wealth. And in that ability, he's given us the tenacity. He's given

12
00:01:24.160 --> 00:01:30.800
us the courage. He's given us the goodness of God to be able to establish a breakthrough

13
00:01:32.240 --> 00:01:36.880
in our areas, our finances, of our relationships, of cities and nations and regions.

14
00:01:36.960 --> 00:01:42.400
And as a result, the one comment that I will make on yesterday, the kingdom of heaven

15
00:01:43.120 --> 00:01:49.840
is suffers violence and the violent take it by force. That's a scripture out of John 11,

16
00:01:50.800 --> 00:01:56.720
where Jesus is talking about John the Baptist, where the violent take heaven by force.

17
00:01:57.360 --> 00:02:03.360
And I used to read scripture, I think. And that's, I don't know if that's a good thing.

18
00:02:03.840 --> 00:02:10.320
But now I read that scripture and I feel this emboldened cry to say, if we're going to see the

19
00:02:10.320 --> 00:02:15.840
reestablishment of heaven in our communities, in our cities, in our regions, in our nations,

20
00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:21.200
it's going to take a bold, violent generation of people. And that does not mean physically

21
00:02:21.200 --> 00:02:26.640
violent. There's spiritually violent people who are willing to pull heaven down into their lives,

22
00:02:26.640 --> 00:02:33.280
connect with tenacity to the reality that there is more than enough in heaven for every problem

23
00:02:33.280 --> 00:02:41.600
and every situation to be solved with a heavenly wisdom based answer. And so guys, let's jump into

24
00:02:41.600 --> 00:02:48.320
it. Let's talk about what God wants to say today. But firstly, let's pray and ask the Lord to come

25
00:02:48.320 --> 00:02:53.920
and be with us. Jesus, I just want to thank you for the opportunity to share today. I want to

26
00:02:53.920 --> 00:02:58.800
thank you for the grace that you've given me to share. Thank you for this opportunity. I pray that

27
00:02:59.600 --> 00:03:05.280
you would get this message to the people who need to hear it the most, that you would

28
00:03:05.280 --> 00:03:12.080
supernaturally expand the airways for this to be received by the people who really

29
00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:16.880
need to hear this message, for their hearts to be prepared. God, I pray that you would

30
00:03:16.880 --> 00:03:21.840
till the soil of people's hearts to be able to prepare for what you want to say to your church

31
00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:29.120
today. I'm excited about what you're doing, Lord. And I want to say to you that you are the God of

32
00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:37.440
desire. You're the God of all wisdom. All great ideas come from you. All freedom comes from you.

33
00:03:37.440 --> 00:03:42.720
And we're excited to partner with you as you do that today in our very lives, in our very

34
00:03:42.720 --> 00:03:51.120
situations. In Jesus name, amen. So Lord, guys, I'm excited because I'm really, really excited about

35
00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:57.360
what God wants to say today. As we look towards today's session, I really want to

36
00:03:57.360 --> 00:04:01.280
highlight a couple different things. And I'm going to just pull up the scriptures here

37
00:04:02.000 --> 00:04:08.160
to read them exactly to you. But the heartbeat of the Father,

38
00:04:10.320 --> 00:04:19.600
as it comes to finance, is all based in this idea of this tension between desire

39
00:04:20.320 --> 00:04:30.160
and obedience. And I want to propose to you that in the desire of God, there is a call

40
00:04:30.800 --> 00:04:41.760
for obedience. And that is true. And inside the gift of choosing obedience is a blossoming

41
00:04:41.760 --> 00:04:47.840
of desire. And I believe that there's a tension, a kingdom tension there, that we're going to have

42
00:04:47.840 --> 00:04:55.680
to hold in truth, that there is this one side of the heart of the Father that longs for us

43
00:04:55.680 --> 00:04:59.920
to live in a life of obedience. And I've surrendered to

44
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:03.440
for who He is and what He has called us into.

45
00:05:03.440 --> 00:05:07.600
And there's this other side that's this tension of

46
00:05:07.600 --> 00:05:10.200
there is a place in the Father's heart

47
00:05:10.200 --> 00:05:14.760
where now that there's no separation between us and God,

48
00:05:14.760 --> 00:05:18.880
that there is a real call to steward the desires

49
00:05:18.880 --> 00:05:20.840
that God has put in our hearts

50
00:05:20.840 --> 00:05:25.840
that create a momentum for increased levels of faith,

51
00:05:26.760 --> 00:05:29.960
that create from that faith,

52
00:05:29.960 --> 00:05:33.800
the momentum of God that transitions people

53
00:05:33.800 --> 00:05:36.880
from circumstance to circumstance

54
00:05:36.880 --> 00:05:41.880
via the spiritual dynamic of faith and favor and wealth

55
00:05:42.640 --> 00:05:47.400
that really comes forth through heaven's reality.

56
00:05:47.400 --> 00:05:48.980
And as a result of that,

57
00:05:48.980 --> 00:05:53.020
I wanna make a couple points about wealth.

58
00:05:53.020 --> 00:05:55.380
We didn't deep dive too much into that yesterday

59
00:05:55.380 --> 00:05:57.600
because I wanted to offend you a little bit

60
00:05:57.600 --> 00:06:00.620
into realizing that there's a bigger reality

61
00:06:00.620 --> 00:06:02.640
than what you can see.

62
00:06:02.640 --> 00:06:06.440
And here's what I would like to say about wealth

63
00:06:06.440 --> 00:06:11.440
is wealth is the flavor, if you will, of heaven.

64
00:06:13.760 --> 00:06:15.560
And when I say that, what do I mean?

65
00:06:17.940 --> 00:06:21.760
When you taste heaven, it's abundant.

66
00:06:21.760 --> 00:06:25.060
When you, the talks and the word about tasting

67
00:06:25.740 --> 00:06:27.920
and seeing, I've tasted and seen the goodness of God.

68
00:06:27.920 --> 00:06:32.920
When you taste the goodness of God, it's abundant.

69
00:06:33.520 --> 00:06:35.960
There's more than enough of it.

70
00:06:35.960 --> 00:06:39.200
It's luxurious, it's extravagant,

71
00:06:39.200 --> 00:06:41.560
it's better than you could think.

72
00:06:41.560 --> 00:06:44.660
It's higher, it has a higher reality

73
00:06:44.660 --> 00:06:46.960
than what you maybe have experienced yet.

74
00:06:48.280 --> 00:06:53.060
There's always a more abundant expression of heaven

75
00:06:53.060 --> 00:06:55.000
that we're yet to experience.

76
00:06:55.780 --> 00:06:59.220
For all of eternity, abundance will keep growing.

77
00:06:59.220 --> 00:07:02.180
Our concept of abundance will keep growing

78
00:07:02.180 --> 00:07:05.140
because we're going to continually and perpetually

79
00:07:05.140 --> 00:07:08.740
be in the state of, wow, God,

80
00:07:08.740 --> 00:07:11.140
there is more of you that I don't know.

81
00:07:11.140 --> 00:07:14.300
So when we talk about this concept of wealth,

82
00:07:14.300 --> 00:07:19.300
what we're really saying is wealth is more

83
00:07:20.640 --> 00:07:24.100
than what you can see consistently.

84
00:07:25.860 --> 00:07:27.500
There's always more, right?

85
00:07:27.500 --> 00:07:28.780
This concept of always more.

86
00:07:28.780 --> 00:07:31.220
Now for some people, when we bring it back

87
00:07:31.220 --> 00:07:33.820
towards wealth of money, a wealth of money, right?

88
00:07:33.820 --> 00:07:35.100
It's like a collective noun, right?

89
00:07:35.100 --> 00:07:36.980
Wealth is a wealth of something.

90
00:07:36.980 --> 00:07:38.580
When we talk about wealth,

91
00:07:38.580 --> 00:07:41.540
we're talking about a spiritual dynamic

92
00:07:41.540 --> 00:07:45.540
of this idea that there is always more than enough

93
00:07:45.540 --> 00:07:49.420
and there is an expansive reality from heaven

94
00:07:49.420 --> 00:07:51.980
that is longing to invade the earth.

95
00:07:51.980 --> 00:07:56.980
The truth is that there's always enough life

96
00:07:57.080 --> 00:08:01.180
inside every single thing that God has given us

97
00:08:01.180 --> 00:08:06.000
to be able to live in perpetual grace, okay?

98
00:08:06.000 --> 00:08:08.680
Now, often what happens when people start talking

99
00:08:08.680 --> 00:08:09.760
about money is that we start talking

100
00:08:09.760 --> 00:08:12.280
about this concept of stewardship.

101
00:08:12.280 --> 00:08:14.280
And the idea of stewardship is really important.

102
00:08:14.280 --> 00:08:18.240
It's great to steward the resources that we have.

103
00:08:18.240 --> 00:08:21.160
The problem with the conversation about stewardship

104
00:08:21.180 --> 00:08:23.820
that's in the church right now is it's all based

105
00:08:23.820 --> 00:08:27.740
in this idea that there's only been a certain amount

106
00:08:27.740 --> 00:08:31.840
that's been given, which is not true.

107
00:08:33.120 --> 00:08:38.020
In heaven's reality, there's always more grace.

108
00:08:38.020 --> 00:08:41.100
There's always more mercy.

109
00:08:41.100 --> 00:08:43.900
There's always more freedom.

110
00:08:43.900 --> 00:08:45.860
There's always more alignment.

111
00:08:45.860 --> 00:08:47.840
There's always more wealth.

112
00:08:47.840 --> 00:08:52.840
This concept of wealth in the kingdom is less about money

113
00:08:53.020 --> 00:08:56.780
and more about this conversation shift

114
00:08:56.780 --> 00:09:01.780
from I have this small lacking reality of money,

115
00:09:03.980 --> 00:09:06.720
of relationships, of things that are in my life,

116
00:09:08.260 --> 00:09:10.980
and I have to learn to steward them better.

117
00:09:10.980 --> 00:09:13.740
Or in other words, if we're taking off that language

118
00:09:13.740 --> 00:09:17.740
and reframing it, I have to control the things

119
00:09:18.560 --> 00:09:20.800
that God has given me better.

120
00:09:20.800 --> 00:09:22.800
So it's shame-based, first of all,

121
00:09:22.800 --> 00:09:24.360
this concept of stewardship.

122
00:09:24.360 --> 00:09:27.200
If I don't do this, I'm a bad person.

123
00:09:27.200 --> 00:09:31.080
Or if I don't steward this money correctly,

124
00:09:31.080 --> 00:09:34.880
then I might fall out of favor with God, which is impossible.

125
00:09:36.400 --> 00:09:40.060
If you really understand this dynamic

126
00:09:40.060 --> 00:09:41.920
that's happening at play right now,

127
00:09:42.540 --> 00:09:45.540
we're having this conversation about stewardship

128
00:09:45.540 --> 00:09:46.380
all the time.

129
00:09:46.380 --> 00:09:47.340
It's like, we've got to figure out

130
00:09:47.340 --> 00:09:49.140
how are we going to control our finances to do this.

131
00:09:49.140 --> 00:09:49.980
We've got to figure out

132
00:09:49.980 --> 00:09:51.740
how we can manipulate this person to do this.

133
00:09:51.740 --> 00:09:52.580
We've got to figure out

134
00:09:52.580 --> 00:09:54.820
how we can transition this thought to do this,

135
00:09:54.820 --> 00:09:57.340
which in reality is really just witchcraft.

136
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:12.000
Witchcraft is anything that you're trying to grasp for or manipulate that is outside of the will of the Father.

137
00:10:12.000 --> 00:10:27.000
I have a good friend, his name is not relevant, but he says a lot of the time that sin is anything that you're grasping for that God wants to give you through a word or promise.

138
00:10:27.000 --> 00:10:31.000
And as a result of that, that whole thought has changed the way I think.

139
00:10:31.000 --> 00:10:38.000
Because if you start then to look at some of the promises in Scripture, take Romans 6.11 for example.

140
00:10:38.000 --> 00:10:44.000
Consider yourself dead to sin and alive to Christ.

141
00:10:44.000 --> 00:10:47.000
What does that mean? Consider yourself dead to sin.

142
00:10:47.000 --> 00:10:52.000
Focus on the reality that you are dead to sin.

143
00:10:52.000 --> 00:10:54.000
Sin is no more in your life.

144
00:10:54.000 --> 00:11:01.000
There is no way that you can, as an alive person, consider death and pick that up again.

145
00:11:01.000 --> 00:11:07.000
Make sure that's your focus with regard to sin and death.

146
00:11:07.000 --> 00:11:16.000
And then turn your focus to the reality that you are alive in Christ.

147
00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:19.000
You are now abundantly alive.

148
00:11:19.000 --> 00:11:25.000
There is a wealth of life that is inside of you that is never going to run out.

149
00:11:25.000 --> 00:11:29.000
Because the love of the Father never runs out.

150
00:11:29.000 --> 00:11:32.000
The grace of God never runs out.

151
00:11:32.000 --> 00:11:38.000
There is no limit to the glory of God manifesting in your life.

152
00:11:38.000 --> 00:11:40.000
There is no limit to His presence.

153
00:11:40.000 --> 00:11:44.000
There's only a limit to what you can consider.

154
00:11:44.000 --> 00:11:51.000
There's only a limit to what you have been able to see up until this point, which is creating faith.

155
00:11:51.000 --> 00:11:59.000
And if you remember, Jesus Himself rebuked Thomas for only believing based on what he could see.

156
00:11:59.000 --> 00:12:05.000
And yet all we're doing with our finances in the church is having this conversation of,

157
00:12:05.000 --> 00:12:11.000
we can only steward because we've got a finite amount that God has given us.

158
00:12:12.000 --> 00:12:14.000
Because then you get into the same conversation of,

159
00:12:14.000 --> 00:12:19.000
well, He only loves me this much because He's only given me this much of whatever.

160
00:12:19.000 --> 00:12:21.000
It doesn't have to be about money. It could be a resource.

161
00:12:21.000 --> 00:12:24.000
It could be about people. It could be about relationships.

162
00:12:24.000 --> 00:12:27.000
It could be about the house that you live in.

163
00:12:27.000 --> 00:12:29.000
It could be about any other sort of provision.

164
00:12:29.000 --> 00:12:31.000
We're not just talking about money.

165
00:12:31.000 --> 00:12:34.000
We are talking about money, but not just money.

166
00:12:34.000 --> 00:12:38.000
Because the reality is that Jesus talked about money more than anything else.

167
00:12:39.000 --> 00:12:44.000
And the reason He talked about money is because where your treasure is, there your heart is.

168
00:12:44.000 --> 00:12:51.000
It doesn't mean if your treasure is all money, then that's where your heart is.

169
00:12:51.000 --> 00:12:59.000
It means if you're spending your money, which is your treasure, on certain things,

170
00:12:59.000 --> 00:13:02.000
that determines where your life is going.

171
00:13:02.000 --> 00:13:12.000
If you're the kind of person who spends money a lot on coffee, on Netflix, on nights out, food, dinners out,

172
00:13:12.000 --> 00:13:15.000
some of that's not bad, some of that is good, whatever.

173
00:13:15.000 --> 00:13:18.000
We're not in a conversation about the knowledge of good and evil.

174
00:13:18.000 --> 00:13:24.000
What we're saying is, if you determine that your life is lived on the tree of life,

175
00:13:24.000 --> 00:13:27.000
eating of the tree of life, as God commanded Adam and Eve in the garden,

176
00:13:27.000 --> 00:13:35.000
if you determined that, and instead of considering yourself alive to sin and dead to Christ,

177
00:13:35.000 --> 00:13:40.000
which is basically what happened when Eve and Adam ate of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil,

178
00:13:40.000 --> 00:13:46.000
they considered themselves, their eyes were open to see, oh, there's something that's gone wrong here.

179
00:13:46.000 --> 00:13:52.000
Now that we are aware of our sin, we're aware of the shame, we now know that we are dead.

180
00:13:52.000 --> 00:13:55.000
Our attention is focused on this deadness.

181
00:13:55.000 --> 00:14:03.000
And as a result, we get back to this conversation of, if stewardship is all about lack,

182
00:14:03.000 --> 00:14:10.000
then what does it take to really understand the heavenly reality of resource?

183
00:14:10.000 --> 00:14:15.000
The heavenly reality of wealth is actually expansive.

184
00:14:15.000 --> 00:14:28.000
Every piece of wealth and life that you have from God has inside of it the supernatural ability to multiply.

185
00:14:28.000 --> 00:14:34.000
And the only way that that happens is if you pay attention to that life.

186
00:14:34.000 --> 00:14:40.000
There is a tangible substance called the life, the Zoe life of God,

187
00:14:40.000 --> 00:14:47.000
that manifests itself into circumstances and releases favor for such a time as this in your life.

188
00:14:47.000 --> 00:14:49.000
How does that work? How does that navigate?

189
00:14:49.000 --> 00:14:59.000
The favor of the Father is attracted to those who are willing to desire beyond what they can see.

190
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:09.000
Let me say that again. The favor of the Father is attracted to those who can desire beyond what they can see.

191
00:15:09.000 --> 00:15:19.000
The reality is that if you can only desire what you see inside someone else's life, or somebody else's personality,

192
00:15:19.000 --> 00:15:27.000
or somebody else's level of friendships, or money, or wealth, or the partnerships that they're making, the favor that you're making,

193
00:15:27.000 --> 00:15:36.000
you're living on what I call the competitive plane. All you can see is what you can see in somebody else or some other place.

194
00:15:36.000 --> 00:15:43.000
And the reality is that you're actually sitting here on this competitive plane, comparing yourself to somebody else.

195
00:15:43.000 --> 00:15:50.000
Basically saying, oh, that person has that, and if they have that, then I don't have that, which means you're only aware of lack.

196
00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:55.000
And in this place of competition, you're only aware of lack.

197
00:15:55.000 --> 00:16:01.000
Because you're basically saying, well, I have to work harder to get to a certain point.

198
00:16:01.000 --> 00:16:06.000
I have to steward this better so that I can have more resources for my church.

199
00:16:06.000 --> 00:16:15.000
My ministry has only been given a certain amount of money. Therefore, I have to steward it well so that my people won't leave.

200
00:16:15.000 --> 00:16:23.000
This place of shame, this place of the culture of shame around wealth and around money, is actually holding the church back more than anything.

201
00:16:23.000 --> 00:16:35.000
And as a result, people can't expansively think, what does it take to disciple a nation, or disciple my city, or disciple my region, or disciple my family?

202
00:16:35.000 --> 00:16:42.000
Because all they can see is this flipping of the script from, do we perpetually have this idea of abundance?

203
00:16:42.000 --> 00:16:50.000
Or do we have this concept of partnering with control to manifest reality?

204
00:16:51.000 --> 00:17:09.000
And I want to propose to you that the servants of God, the sons of God, will act wisely and prosper.

205
00:17:09.000 --> 00:17:20.000
If they're willing, that's a direct quote from Isaiah 52 verse 13, the servants of God will act wisely and prosper.

206
00:17:20.000 --> 00:17:34.000
And I would like to propose to you that they will do that if they can tune their hearts and tune their minds to desire that is beyond what they can see.

207
00:17:35.000 --> 00:17:44.000
So the question remains, what does it look like to desire beyond what you can see?

208
00:17:44.000 --> 00:17:52.000
How do you get into a place of true desire, true beyond what you can see desire?

209
00:17:52.000 --> 00:18:07.000
And I'd like to propose that the only way that you can really capture the heartbeat of the Father in that place of desire really is through a laid down life of obedience.

210
00:18:07.000 --> 00:18:12.000
And this is where the tension that comes in, and it's really not a tension.

211
00:18:12.000 --> 00:18:19.000
It is a tension by the way that we talk about desire and what God is doing inside of our hearts.

212
00:18:19.000 --> 00:18:23.000
And we talk about this laying down of our lives to receive.

213
00:18:23.000 --> 00:18:37.000
The only way we get to that place of true desire is by spending the time laid down in his love, receiving the desires of heaven for our life.

214
00:18:38.000 --> 00:18:44.000
He knows abundantly more than we could ask for or think for about what's inside of our hearts.

215
00:18:44.000 --> 00:18:50.000
He knows the tenacity. He knows the drive. He knows the passion. He knows the success.

216
00:18:50.000 --> 00:18:55.000
He knows the wisdom. He knows the passion, the power, all of that inside of our lives.

217
00:18:55.000 --> 00:19:01.000
And so here's what I would like to propose to you as we enter the last few minutes of the session.

218
00:19:01.000 --> 00:19:06.000
I would like to propose to you that desire creates momentum.

219
00:19:06.000 --> 00:19:09.000
Desire beyond what you can see.

220
00:19:09.000 --> 00:19:12.000
But desire is birthed out of intimacy.

221
00:19:12.000 --> 00:19:16.000
It's birthed out of communication and communion with the Father.

222
00:19:16.000 --> 00:19:21.000
It's why this conversation of wealth is so linked to intimacy and covenant.

223
00:19:21.000 --> 00:19:27.000
To have a conversation of wealth and not have a conversation about intimacy and covenant is foolish.

224
00:19:27.000 --> 00:19:36.000
And I believe that because God never desired to do anything outside of covenant.

225
00:19:36.000 --> 00:19:41.000
All relational equity with God is birthed in this place of covenant.

226
00:19:42.000 --> 00:19:48.000
One day we will enjoy the fruit of the marriage supper of the Lamb.

227
00:19:48.000 --> 00:20:00.000
As we as the church are enveloped in the love of the Father in the end time marriage.

228
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:05.360
of God to his bride, Jesus to his bride, the bridegroom himself.

229
00:20:05.360 --> 00:20:07.200
We will be enveloped in that.

230
00:20:07.200 --> 00:20:10.360
And there's a reality that's unfolding

231
00:20:10.360 --> 00:20:12.960
towards this marriage of intimacy that

232
00:20:12.960 --> 00:20:15.680
creates a place for breakthrough.

233
00:20:15.680 --> 00:20:19.400
And this marriage supper of the Lamb

234
00:20:19.400 --> 00:20:22.400
that is unfolding out of the covenant that

235
00:20:22.400 --> 00:20:26.280
has been paid for, that has been sacrificed for,

236
00:20:26.280 --> 00:20:29.560
that we are on the pathway of preparation for,

237
00:20:29.560 --> 00:20:35.080
that is the end all be all of this relationship that's

238
00:20:35.080 --> 00:20:36.960
going to be unfolding.

239
00:20:36.960 --> 00:20:40.240
Wealth comes into play through covenant.

240
00:20:40.240 --> 00:20:45.160
You get access to everything that the Father has

241
00:20:45.160 --> 00:20:52.080
given the Son through the oneness of relationship

242
00:20:52.080 --> 00:20:54.280
with Jesus.

243
00:20:54.280 --> 00:20:56.560
And this covenant conversation that's unfolding,

244
00:20:56.840 --> 00:20:59.120
this developing relational equity

245
00:20:59.120 --> 00:21:01.200
that's unfolding right now is only

246
00:21:01.200 --> 00:21:04.520
possible through that place.

247
00:21:04.520 --> 00:21:08.840
There's a group of people who lived hundreds of years

248
00:21:08.840 --> 00:21:10.640
ago called the Moravians.

249
00:21:10.640 --> 00:21:13.720
And some of you may know about the Moravians.

250
00:21:13.720 --> 00:21:21.320
And they had a ministry of over 100 years of day and night,

251
00:21:21.320 --> 00:21:25.280
24-7 prayer and worship.

252
00:21:25.320 --> 00:21:29.880
The fire on the altar never went out.

253
00:21:29.880 --> 00:21:35.360
And they were funded by a man whose name was Zinfandorf.

254
00:21:35.360 --> 00:21:38.760
And he gave them the land.

255
00:21:38.760 --> 00:21:39.280
He gave them.

256
00:21:39.280 --> 00:21:39.800
He fed them.

257
00:21:39.800 --> 00:21:42.800
He made it all happen.

258
00:21:42.800 --> 00:21:45.360
And I believe God wants to raise up both in this season.

259
00:21:45.360 --> 00:21:49.360
He wants to raise up because Zinfandorf was not

260
00:21:49.360 --> 00:21:52.080
a man without intimacy and covenant.

261
00:21:52.120 --> 00:21:57.040
He understood the call of God to establish 24-7 prayer

262
00:21:57.040 --> 00:22:01.000
and worship that birthed the modern missions movement.

263
00:22:01.000 --> 00:22:03.640
It birthed the reality of the Western world

264
00:22:03.640 --> 00:22:06.560
that we see and understand it as it is today.

265
00:22:06.560 --> 00:22:09.720
This conversation of perpetual adoration and praise

266
00:22:09.720 --> 00:22:15.240
and perpetual is the only place that true desire comes forth.

267
00:22:15.240 --> 00:22:16.480
And so I want to encourage you.

268
00:22:16.480 --> 00:22:22.920
I want to commend you and encourage you to go away today

269
00:22:22.920 --> 00:22:27.200
and spend time with the Father and ask the question, God,

270
00:22:27.200 --> 00:22:33.360
what is the desire in your heart for my life that I can't see?

271
00:22:33.360 --> 00:22:39.880
What's the desire in your heart for my life, for my city,

272
00:22:39.880 --> 00:22:44.360
for my region that I can't see yet,

273
00:22:44.360 --> 00:22:46.600
that's beyond what I can see?

274
00:22:46.600 --> 00:22:50.080
Give me the desire of heaven for that solution.

275
00:22:50.080 --> 00:22:52.520
Give me the desire of heaven for that.

276
00:22:52.520 --> 00:22:59.800
Give me the billion-dollar business initiative

277
00:22:59.800 --> 00:23:03.200
that you could give me that could change the world.

278
00:23:03.200 --> 00:23:07.640
I met a woman a week or so, not a week, a couple of months ago.

279
00:23:07.640 --> 00:23:09.920
And she asked the Lord.

280
00:23:09.920 --> 00:23:13.800
She asked the Lord, God, give me a billion-dollar idea.

281
00:23:13.800 --> 00:23:16.920
She had no idea what it was, but God gave her one.

282
00:23:16.920 --> 00:23:19.480
And I don't know if she's made a billion dollars yet.

283
00:23:19.480 --> 00:23:25.120
I don't know the full details, but God gave her the idea.

284
00:23:25.120 --> 00:23:29.640
And she has now got a fully-fledged company

285
00:23:29.640 --> 00:23:32.080
that's running as a network marketing company.

286
00:23:32.080 --> 00:23:33.680
She is the owner and operator.

287
00:23:33.680 --> 00:23:34.480
She's running it.

288
00:23:34.480 --> 00:23:35.480
She's crushing it.

289
00:23:35.480 --> 00:23:37.960
There's people all around the world doing

290
00:23:37.960 --> 00:23:40.000
direct sales for this business.

291
00:23:40.000 --> 00:23:43.200
And as a result, she's crushing it.

292
00:23:43.200 --> 00:23:46.560
She's on her pathway to a billion-dollar idea.

293
00:23:46.560 --> 00:23:48.400
She heard the voice of the Father

294
00:23:48.400 --> 00:23:51.560
in that whole process through the call of intimacy.

295
00:23:51.560 --> 00:23:54.800
And so I want to propose to you today

296
00:23:54.800 --> 00:23:58.960
that those desires will create momentum in your life.

297
00:23:58.960 --> 00:24:02.000
But you must first lay yourself down

298
00:24:02.000 --> 00:24:06.680
to hear the voice of the Father, receive the desires of heaven

299
00:24:06.680 --> 00:24:09.480
for your nation, for your city, for your region,

300
00:24:09.480 --> 00:24:11.440
for your family, for your personal life.

301
00:24:11.440 --> 00:24:15.280
That is the way, that is the pathway to freedom

302
00:24:15.280 --> 00:24:18.240
and to the spirit of wealth, is the conversation

303
00:24:18.240 --> 00:24:21.160
that really permeates the soul of a nation

304
00:24:21.160 --> 00:24:27.200
when it's asking, who will answer the call of God

305
00:24:27.200 --> 00:24:31.160
to stand up and create solutions to situations?

306
00:24:31.160 --> 00:24:38.840
Who will answer the call to end systemic poverty in nations?

307
00:24:38.840 --> 00:24:43.640
And not just through the church giving people handouts.

308
00:24:43.640 --> 00:24:47.160
What about giving people an ability

309
00:24:47.160 --> 00:24:49.600
to change their entire life?

310
00:24:49.600 --> 00:24:51.400
What about government systems that

311
00:24:51.400 --> 00:24:53.960
are set up to actually make people prosper,

312
00:24:53.960 --> 00:24:56.800
rather than keep people dependent upon the government?

313
00:24:56.800 --> 00:25:00.120
What about systems that allow for the

314
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:02.360
the courage and the tenacity of heaven

315
00:25:02.360 --> 00:25:04.240
to invade every circumstance.

316
00:25:04.240 --> 00:25:05.540
What about those things?

317
00:25:07.040 --> 00:25:08.640
God wants to release them to your life.

318
00:25:08.640 --> 00:25:11.280
God wants to release favor into your world

319
00:25:11.280 --> 00:25:13.700
and release the tenacity that changes everything

320
00:25:13.700 --> 00:25:15.720
and changes every part of your world.

321
00:25:15.720 --> 00:25:17.120
And so let me pray for you.

322
00:25:18.520 --> 00:25:21.160
And then I'll give you your homework.

323
00:25:21.160 --> 00:25:22.820
Jesus, I want to thank you for these people.

324
00:25:22.820 --> 00:25:24.640
I pray that the spirit of wealth,

325
00:25:24.640 --> 00:25:28.200
the spirit of the Lord, the spirit of goodness and mercy,

326
00:25:28.200 --> 00:25:30.560
the flavor of heaven, the wealth of heaven

327
00:25:30.560 --> 00:25:32.480
would just become their portion.

328
00:25:32.480 --> 00:25:36.040
That the tenacity of heaven, that the courage of heaven

329
00:25:36.040 --> 00:25:37.840
would release a baptism of fire

330
00:25:37.840 --> 00:25:40.640
and a baptism of courage over their lives right now

331
00:25:40.640 --> 00:25:43.920
to ask the bold questions, to enter into intimacy,

332
00:25:43.920 --> 00:25:45.600
to say yes to the Father heart,

333
00:25:45.600 --> 00:25:48.220
to say yes to the extravagant love of the Father

334
00:25:48.220 --> 00:25:50.760
that changes every circumstance and situation

335
00:25:50.760 --> 00:25:54.420
in people's lives, to rise up a level of integration

336
00:25:54.420 --> 00:25:58.120
and favor that changes culture, that steps into time,

337
00:25:58.940 --> 00:26:01.160
that says, no, I will not see this happen on my watch.

338
00:26:01.160 --> 00:26:04.480
I will not see these governments continue

339
00:26:04.480 --> 00:26:06.400
to manipulate people not on my watch.

340
00:26:06.400 --> 00:26:11.400
I will not see socialism and social justice warriors

341
00:26:11.520 --> 00:26:14.300
impact the culture more than the kingdom of heaven

342
00:26:14.300 --> 00:26:15.280
in this life.

343
00:26:15.280 --> 00:26:17.420
And so God, I pray for that boldness.

344
00:26:17.420 --> 00:26:19.880
I pray for the boldness, the conviction of heaven

345
00:26:19.880 --> 00:26:23.800
to restore life, to restore favor in every circumstance

346
00:26:23.800 --> 00:26:26.280
and to restore the abundance of heaven

347
00:26:26.280 --> 00:26:28.680
in every circumstance, in every place,

348
00:26:28.680 --> 00:26:31.000
in every person under the sound of my voice right now.

349
00:26:31.000 --> 00:26:32.520
God, I pray for favor.

350
00:26:32.520 --> 00:26:36.160
I pray for desires to be bubbling up right now.

351
00:26:36.160 --> 00:26:40.280
The dreams of God, the blessings of favor

352
00:26:40.280 --> 00:26:43.320
that God has established through word and through promise.

353
00:26:43.320 --> 00:26:44.360
God, I pray for favor.

354
00:26:44.360 --> 00:26:46.440
And I do, Lord, I pray for courage

355
00:26:46.440 --> 00:26:50.900
to consider themselves dead to sin and alive to Christ.

356
00:26:50.900 --> 00:26:54.840
I pray for courage to believe that life means something

357
00:26:55.720 --> 00:26:58.780
and that courage is required in this season

358
00:26:58.780 --> 00:27:01.120
to step into time and change culture forever.

359
00:27:01.120 --> 00:27:03.480
In Jesus' name, amen.

360
00:27:03.480 --> 00:27:05.080
Well, I love you guys.

361
00:27:05.080 --> 00:27:06.200
Let me know in the comments below

362
00:27:06.200 --> 00:27:08.400
what you got out of the session.

363
00:27:08.400 --> 00:27:13.400
It'd be great to hear all of that stuff in there.

364
00:27:16.120 --> 00:27:20.120
Again, there's so much favor that God wants to release

365
00:27:20.120 --> 00:27:23.880
inside this situation.

366
00:27:23.880 --> 00:27:26.960
And all of those things.

367
00:27:26.960 --> 00:27:30.920
So I want to, yeah, that's it for me.

368
00:27:30.920 --> 00:27:32.320
Bless you guys.

369
00:27:32.320 --> 00:27:35.760
We will talk soon and we'll be back again tomorrow.

370
00:27:35.760 --> 00:27:37.360
Okay, love you guys.
