in your beautiful name. Amen. Wonderful. Amazing family. So good to be with you together. So good
to have you here together. And if you are hungry for a move of the Spirit of God, just drop
hungry in the comments. Say, I'm hungry for this. Listen, I've got a beautiful verse for you that I
want to just start off with this verse. It's Jeremiah 29 verse 13 from the Amplified Version.
It says, this is God speaking, he says, Then you will seek me, inquire for, and require me as a vital
necessity, and find me when you search for me with all your heart. Let me read this again.
Jeremiah 29 verse 13. Then you will seek for me, inquire for me, and require me as a vital necessity,
and you will find me when you search for me with all your heart. And I just want to
just pray as well with that grace that's on Jeremiah 29 verse 13, that that will come upon
your life right now. That grace to, just let me read this out for you one more time. Let the grace
on this get in your life. Then you will seek me, and inquire for me, and require me as a vital
necessity. Say, vital necessity, and you will find me when you search for me with all your heart.
Amen. May that just be upon you. May you be one that finds him. May you be one that requires
the Spirit of God. May you require him in every moment, in your day-to-day,
in your moment-by-moment. May you require him as your
vital necessity and you will find them. Amen. Well, who's excited about doing some finding?
I'm excited about doing some finding right now. Give me one second. I'm just going to open this
up. It's getting warm in here already. There we go. Oh, nice and warm here at the beach today.
Just get a little bit more airflow in here. It's getting hot. I can already feel the glory.
Family, this challenge is called the rite of passage challenge. I just want to start by
telling you why it's called the rite of passage challenge. A rite of passage, first of all,
is the process that most tribal groups created in order to raise up children who would thrive
in hostile conditions. The Maasai, for example, they were known as lion killers,
but they became known as lion killers because they lived in a world of lions. Say that,
world of lions. They lived in a world where they were surrounded by lions. Now, a lion is an apex
predator. That means it's at the top of the food chain and it's looking for something tasty to
eat, maybe like little children. They raised their families surrounded by apex predators.
They had to decide as a tribe, the Maasai, they had to decide where they wanted to be in the food
chain. Then whatever their decision was, they had to build their lives and the entire culture
of their people around that decision of where they wanted to be in the food chain. They decided
that they wanted to be the apex predators. They wanted to be the ones that were above the king
of the jungle. They created a rite of passage for the Maasai people. A rite of passage is a
journey that you go on that is designed to achieve an end goal. It's designed to achieve
an end outcome. For the Maasai, the outcome was they wanted to be the apex predators. They didn't
want to be lion food. As a result, their rite of passage, if a young man wanted to be recognized
as a man, he had to go out with a spear by himself and come back wearing the mane of a male
adult lion. How wild is that? You want to be recognized as a man in our culture?
Come back wearing the mane of an adult male lion. As a result, when the lions saw the Maasai
coming in their red cloaks, the lions would run. The lions recognized that the Maasai were the apex
predators. Like the Maasai, we have to decide where we want to be in the spiritual food chain
in the world right now. We're going to have to make a big decision right now in our lives. We're
going to have to make that decision. When we make that decision of where we want to be in the
spiritual food chain, we're going to have to build our lives around it. We're going to have to build
our entire culture around that decision. It can't be taken lightly. See, our rite of passage is
designed to help a group of people thrive in the midst of a hostile environment. I want to
suggest to you that most of the discipleship, most of the Christian training that you get,
is not designed to help people overcome to the degree that they need to overcome in the context
of the extremely hostile spiritual environment that we're finding ourselves in right now.
The Raising Royalty Rite of Passage program, which follows on from the Raising Royalty,
this challenge here, it is not normal. This challenge is not going to be a normal
challenge. It's not going to be your average discipleship program. This is not going to be
just about your average kind of Christian event. There's a level of greatness that's going beyond
because we want to see a different result. It's not designed to raise up normal people. It's not
designed to raise up normal Christians. Our goal is very different to that. We want to raise up
catalysts and stewards of the greatest move of God in world history, and that requires a completely
different approach, a different approach to discipleship, a different approach to training,
a different approach that most people are not used to. So the Maasai had a rite of passage
that created lion killers. It put them at the top of the food chain. Now let me ask you, do you
want to be at the top of the spiritual food chain or at the bottom? Do you want to raise up children
who can thrive in the midst of a hostile environment, or do you want to raise up children who
are going to be overcome by the spiritual adversity that they're going to face in this
generation? Do you want to raise up disciples who are going to thrive, who are going to rule and reign,
who are going to be the head and not the tail?
the tail, or do you want to be a disciple who's going to rule and reign and be the head and not
the tail? What do you want, right? Because whatever you want, it requires a rite of passage,
a journey, a training, a program, a lifestyle, a rhythm of life, a culture that is going to produce
the lion killers, the giant slayers. So if we want to raise up children, raise up movements,
raise up churches, raise up disciples who can rule and reign in the context of a hostile
spiritual environment that we find ourselves in right now, things are going to have to change
dramatically. Let me ask you, do you agree that we're in a hostile environment right now? Do you
notice that there's been more hostility in the world now towards Christians than there was, say,
five years ago? Can you feel the atmosphere shifting? Well, we have to be ahead of the
game in that shift. I can feel it dramatically, the hostility and the spirit towards Christianity,
towards the advance of the kingdom of God. There is a rise in hostility, and we have to rise even
more so to meet that. So that requires a rite of passage, a journey, a training program,
a discipleship, a culture, a rhythm of life that raises up giant slayers and movement makers and
world changes and raises up people who can be catalysts and stewards and conduits of the greatest
move of the Spirit of God in world history. That's what we're going after. We don't just
want to see people surviving. We want to raise up catalysts and stewards of the greatest move of the
Spirit of God in world history. That's what we're going after. And because our aim and our objective
is different, our training and our rite of passage is different. We're not just training people to
sit in pews. We're not just training people to, you know, to have a nice Christian, you know, like,
just, you know, like, do the nice Christian thing. We're going beyond that. What we're doing is we're
aiming to raise up people who disciple nations. We're aiming to raise up people who are catalysts
and stewards of the greatest move of the Spirit of God in world history. So let's start looking.
I want to, what we want to do right now is I'm going to, in this session, break down for you the
five pillars of the coming move of God. All right. The five pillars of the coming move of God. You can
say that five pillars of the coming move of God. Right. That's what I'm going to be breaking down
for you. But before we look at the five pillars of the coming move of God, I want to look back.
All right. I want to look back briefly at some historical moves of the Spirit and help you
recognize some patterns of how the Spirit of God moves and how the Spirit of God brings about
awakenings and reformations and moves of God that impact the world. All right. So here's a
pattern. Okay. There's four parts to this pattern that I just want you to recognize. Okay. The first
pattern is revelation. Say that with me. Revelation. That's the first part in this pattern
that you're going to notice when we look at a few moves of God. The first thing is usually one person
or a few people or a handful of forerunners are going to start getting revelation from God. And
usually what happens is they all start getting similar types of revelation at a similar time
in history, but they can be geographically completely separated and not close to each
other, not know one another. They're geographically separated. They don't know each other, but they're
in the Spirit. All right. And this is what the Rite of Passage challenge that we're doing this
week is about. It's about helping you to create a way of life where you live perpetually in a move
of the Spirit. You were not born to come in and out of moves of God and in and out of moves of
the Spirit. You were created and born and designed to live in a perpetual move of the Spirit of God.
Every day you're designed to be in the river, to be carried by the Spirit of God, to be flooded
and baptized and immersed and live in the Spirit of God. So that's one of the things that we're
going to be unlocking in this week is how to actually live perpetually in a move of the Spirit
of God. You never want to come out of a move of the Spirit of God. You want that to be where you
live. So we're going to talk about that. So say with me again, revelation. That's the first key. So
when people are in the Spirit, what often happens is even though they're geographically distant and
separate, they start receiving the same revelation. Why? Because the source is the same, right? The
Spirit of God, they're tapping in and they're getting revelation. Now next piece of the puzzle
is a renewed mind. Now this is so, this is just critical beyond, you just cannot articulate how
critical the renewed mind is. Romans 12.2 is where we get this, you know, this, this phrase.
is with a renewed mind. Do not conform to the pattern of this world but be transformed. The
Greek word is the word metamorpho which actually means transfigured. It's used four times in the
New Testament. Twice of Jesus' transfiguration. Then one in 2 Corinthians 3 18 where it says
we are transfigured in his image from one degree of glory to another. So be transfigured by the
renewing of your minds. So revelation comes as step one. Renewing of the minds comes as step two.
And once that renewal of the mind happens, actions change. The way people operate changes.
And that produces reformation. That's the third step. Reformation. And the fourth step is
restoration. So wherever you have a reformation that God is initiating, if you see a reformation
that God is initiating, get ready to look for and to find restoration. That's going to be the
sign that it's a real reformation, a real move of the spirit. It's going to be restoring something.
So you've got revelation produces renewed minds which leads to reformation, which leads to
restoration. Sweet. That's the pattern. I just want you to see that. It's going to be important
as we analyze very quickly some of these past moves of God and as we look at what God's doing
right now and as we look to see in the future. Again, those four points. Very quickly, revelation,
renewed minds, reformation, restoration, if you missed it. All right. So come with me back to 1517,
one of the classic moves of God that people talk about. It's 1517 and Martin Luther nails his
thesis on the church door in Wittenberg, Germany. And that was not that was recognized as one of the
major catalytic moments of the reformation. All right. Now, this reformation, let's look at it.
OK, so remember, we're looking through this pattern of revelation produces renewed minds,
produces reformation, which is different actions, a different way of doing things,
which produces a restoration. Something that was missing gets restored to the body of Christ.
So in the context of Martin Luther's day, he was a reformation of systems,
all right, a reformation of systems. He came out of the Catholic Church,
but the majority of what he reformed was the systems, the way of doing things. He didn't like
the fact, you know, and he was getting revelation from God that it wasn't right to try to tell
people things like, if you tithe well, then the Pope and the Catholic Church is able to
buy your relatives out of hell. Right. So they would they were saying these crazy things like
the more you give in your offerings and your tithes, you know, the more we'll be able to
buy your relatives out of hell. That type of stuff was just crazy. They used that for a major
fundraising program that which they used a lot of that money to build St. Peter's Basilica,
which is one of the most amazing pieces of artwork in the entire, on the entire planet.
But it was funded by some crazy theology. So Martin Luther saw all these systems that were
really corrupt. He's like, man, this is no good. He started getting revelation. It renewed his mind.
He took action. It started the reformation and that reformation actually restored some more like
some more biblical systems. All right. You got rid of a lot of corruption. There were some really
great things that came out of the reformation. But listen, it was just there was a restoration
in part. Right. It's not the whole thing. So let's look at the next move of God. So, you know, 1730s
to the 1770s, you had the first great awakening. A little context, a little bit of context on this
is that the culture in England was really, really dark. You know, it was dark. We talk about
dark days right now. Well, these were extremely dark days in England in the days of John Wesley.
So at this time, you had the Great Awakening in England and and breaking out into America.
France, for example, missed out on the Great Awakening. Instead of the Great Awakening,
they had the French Revolution, which led to massive bloodshed. All right. So it was a really,
really dark time. And into that time, John Wesley came. The first Great Awakening came, produced a
massive awakening, a massive transformation of culture and society. But here's one of the things
that was really interesting. So John Wesley, right. He had been trained. He'd been through,
you know, like training as a pastor. He'd been a missionary. He went from England to be a
missionary to the American Indians, you know, all the way, traveled by boat to America. And then he
came back and he still.
all the way through that, questioned his own salvation, he still didn't really even feel like
he was following Jesus, right? So he'd been through Bible college, he'd become a missionary,
become a pastor, and he still didn't even feel like he had a relationship with God.
And it wasn't until 1738, you know, significant time after he's come back from his missions,
you know, his mission season in America, that he actually had an encounter with God.
And actually, that's when he feels like he gave his life to Jesus. He had a born-again experience,
and he's like, wow. So this produced a massive theme in the Great Awakening of
having an actual relationship with God, you know, not just turning up to church,
not just going through the motion of, oh, we go to church and we do these things,
and this is what makes us a Christian. This actually brought a, you know, so you've got
revelation. John Wesley actually has an encounter with God, like, wow, massive revelation,
produces a massive, you know, renewed mind, which produces a massive reformation in his action,
and what he preached, and what he taught, and how he lived. He wasn't just calling people,
you know, like, come to my church. He was like, come to God, have a relationship with God. So this
was a huge reformation that people started having revelation and encounter with God,
and like, wow, relationships with God. It was massive, and it produced a massive restoration
to the body of Christ of actually connecting and have an actual relationship with God,
which prior to that was, like, quite a crazy thing. Now, how wild do you think that is, that
it's considered a crazy thing to have an actual relationship with God if you're a Christian,
right? So you want to just pay attention to this process, okay? Revelation, renewed mind,
reformation, restoration, because God's been for a long time. This is hundreds of years taking place.
You know, this is over a 500-year period that God's been restoring things to the body of Christ.
Now, if you look at the second Great Awakening, it kind of started 1790. So even in the few
decades as the first Great Awakening waned and as the second Great Awakening started to come
alive, what actually happened, you know, like in England, and Europe, and America, again, the
culture just became so depraved, so dark. Christians were hated, and mocked, and spat on. It was a
really, really dark period. And the second Great Awakening, in the second Great Awakening, it was
just a huge, you had, sorry, that's jumping the gun a little bit. But in the second Great Awakening,
there was a massive call to holiness, right? It was like, it wasn't just have a relationship with
God, and then do whatever you like. But it actually started becoming this really amazing
call to holiness, and actually to living right. So there's, again, another level of reformation,
like revelation, renewed minds, restoration, and restoration. One quick story from that is
Brother Nash. I'm not sure if you've heard of Charles Finney and Brother Nash, but
it, a lot of people will say that, you know, America has been, and even the history, the
heritage, and how America got known as a Christian nation. I know a lot of my friends in America
right now would say, well, it's really not looking much like a Christian nation at the moment. But
the heritage of it, and why America really rose to where it rose to, they will say, actually,
you can trace it back to one man, Charles Finney, who was one of the major catalysts of the second
great awakening. And that came about through the Rochester Revival, was one of the main catalytic
moments. So the Rochester Revival, you know, it was, let me give you a moment, just a little bit
of picture about this. Charles Finney had a prayer warrior with him all the time, whose name was
Brother Nash, Daniel Nash. He was just known as Brother Nash. But he would go places ahead of
Charles Finney, and he would pray in the spirit. Oftentimes, what Brother Nash's prayers would
look like is just rolling on the ground, praying in the spirit, and groaning for days at a time,
just to see a move of God. Now, that totally reminds me of the verse we just read from
Jeremiah 29, 13, which is, when you seek me as your vital necessity, you will find me. So he just gave
himself to that, and he got a breakthrough, and then Charles Finney would come in and preach. And
so in Rochester Revival, they saw a hundred thousand people in that city baptized in six
months. And then a move of the spirit of God broke out there, and they had recorded 1,500 other
outpourings that were sparked from that one place. So people came there to Rochester, got set on fire,
and went out, and they recorded over 1,500 other outpourings that they carried the Holy Spirit.
There was massive transformation. There was deep repentance.
It was a whole other level on the first great awakening.
really exciting of what was happening there for people. Again, we have this process, revelation,
renewed minds, reformation, and restoration. So God restored a bunch to the church there.
Then if you skip forward a little bit in history, you get to one of the next major outpourings,
which was the Welsh Revival, which is 1904, 1906, the Welsh Revival, and Azusa Street,
the Azusa Street Revival, which was 1906 to 1909. Now, Azusa Street's so significant because for
three years, nearly every day, they had the Shekinah glory of God turn up, physically manifest
as a cloud in the building. They would come into worship and there'd be so much Shekinah glory in
the room that they'd look at their feet and they couldn't see their own feet. The children would
come into the room and there'd be so much glory that they could play hide and go seek in the
glory. There was this massive outpouring and Azusa of the Holy Spirit and speaking in tongues and
signs and wonders. One of the meetings at Azusa Street, a man with no arm came in and they prayed
for him and out of his stump, boom, shot the bones. The people who were there saw the bones
shoot out of his stump, supernaturally bones, boom, and then flesh covered the bones and then skin
covered the flesh and he just got a whole new arm right there in front of everyone,
radical signs and wonders. The fire engine was, fire department was called multiple times because
they could see the Shekinah, your glory of God, like a fire burning above the building.
And so it was this massive restoration of the Spirit of God and the restoration of the gifts
of the Spirit. Signs, wonders, and miracles broke out. There was a huge explosion of missions.
It really, again, listen, revelation produces renewed minds, renewed minds produces reformation,
reformation produces restoration because God's been for 500 years trying to restore things
back to the church. What's he doing, right? What's he doing? We're going to see in a minute what he's
doing. We're going to look at the five pillars right now. We're about to look at the five pillars of
the next great move of God. So if you jump forward to the late 1900s, so like the 80s,
70s, 80s, 90s, and then going in there and then even to the 2000s, still happening now, but really
it was the late 1900s when really God restored back to the church the fivefold ministry, right?
So prophet, pastor, teacher, evangelist, apostle, prophet, pastor, teacher, evangelist,
that was really something that God's been doing for quite a while. Some people are kind of
catching up with it now as it's trickling down, but God's been doing this for a long time.
And since, I would say probably since around 2010, probably a little bit before 2010,
and what you started to see is a fresh move, which is sonship being restored to the planet.
Okay, so with the fivefold ministry, you start seeing some awesome restoration coming into the
church there as people start operating in the apostolic, prophetic, especially the prophetic,
just really blew up in the 80s and the prophetic gift was restored to the church. So how helpful
is the prophetic ministry being restored to the church and the apostolic being restored to the
church just makes the church so much more powerful. You've got apostles and prophets and
pastors and teachers and evangelists all operating. And I will say this, right, it's really important
that the whole purpose of the fivefold ministry, and you'll see this in Ephesians 4, is to equip
the body, right, so that everyone can be apostolic, everyone can be prophetic, everyone can be
evangelistic, everyone can be pastoral, and everyone can teach. It's not so that a couple
of people can be put on a pedestal, it's so that everyone can be equipped. And it actually
says in Ephesians 4, to be brought up to the full measure, which is nothing less than the stature of
Christ's own perfection. It's about equipping the body for something, and what is that? It's about
sonship. Okay, so about 2010, you start to see like another whole wave of the revelation of sonship
being brought into the church. So that revelation of sonship, right, revelation produces renewed
minds, produces reformation, produces restoration. So as sonship's being restored to the church,
you're seeing amazing, just complete new levels of intimacy with God. We're talking seamless union,
we're talking get rid of like all the religious junk, get that all flushed out of your system,
get the orphan mindsets flushed out of your system, get the identity crisis flushed out of
your system, start discovering seamless union with the trinity. We've started to discover effortless
bliss. We've started to discover this place where we walk in oneness.
this massive restoration of like divine design coming back in the divine blueprints it's a
why like what's happening is sonships being restored is massive but let me jump now into
the five pillars of the next great move of god all right hope you guys doing great how you doing
let me know in the comments how you doing shout out sonship um let me know if you've recognized
some of those patterns as well um let me know if god's touching your life in the area of sonship
i better have this little sip okay and say restoration with me all right restoration
has a process there's somewhere that restoration is going and the place that restoration is going
restoration is going to somewhere called shalom okay stay with me say shalom okay so uh shalom
a lot of people go oh yeah that's peace but it's more than peace right shalom is the peace
right track with me here pay real attention to this because shalom is the peace that is produced
when everything is functioning according to divine design right shalom is the peace that manifests
when everything is functioning according to divine design all right so the ancient hebrew
pictogram for the word shalom uh let me just quickly pull this up um i'll oh so i actually
i won't do that um so shalom let me talk to you about the ancient hebrew pictogram the first thing
in the pictogram is um uh sharp teeth right a picture of sharp teeth so this is before the
hebrews used letters when they just used words the very first way that they wrote the word shalom
it was sharp teeth so some sharp teeth which meant to destroy the next thing was a shepherd's rod
a picture of a shepherd's rod which meant uh the authority the next thing was a tent peg okay
there's four pictures in this pictogram the next picture was a tent peg which meant um to attach
and the next picture was um waters right waves and that represented chaos so the literal meaning
of the word shalom is to destroy the authority attached to chaos and if there's a picture right
if there's a picture in the bible of what shalom looks like it's jesus jesus is shalom in the flesh
jesus is shalom incarnate shalom is the author the auth the authority it means to destroy the
authority attached to chaos it shalom is an ever-expanding uh reality it's an ever-expanding
force it's an ever-expanding kingdom in a sense so what shalom is is you know you imagine everything
in your world operating according to divine design so jesus is the blueprint for what shalom looks
like and so we're talking about four points right of this process you have revelation which produces
the renewed mind which produces reformation which which produces restoration so god's been
restoring things for you know over 500 years in the body of christ working hard to restore
but where's he going what's the blueprint what's the target what's the end goal the end goal is
shalom right it is this is the divine design this is the blueprint for us and this is where god is
constantly aligning and bringing things towards this place of shalom so there's five pillars
that represent what shalom looks like in our lives that this is what the five pillars of the next
great move of god are so let me hit them for you are you ready say yes if you are ready okay the
first one is the divine life okay so pillar number one is the divine life so i want you to say that
divine life john 10 10 it says this the thief comes only to rob and kill and destroy but i
have come that they might have life and have it in abundance all right let's talk about this verse
for a moment so in greek there's three words that mean life okay so you've got bios which is your
physical life you've got suke which is the life of the soul and then you've got zoe which is the
life of the spirit now sometimes um people who are you know quite heady theological quite type of
people like to really debate about the meaning of the word zoe what does that really mean well
jesus has cleared that up for us already because he said in john 14 6 i am the way the truth and
the zoe i am the life so when jesus said i've come that they might have life and have it in abundance
He's saying that we could have divine life. So this is something you have to understand shalom
Everything functioning according to divine design in your life
What that looks like is it looks like the divine life being fully manifest in your life
That's God's blueprint for you for your life. Now. I'll really say these three areas where this really shows up
I'm in you know with the divine life. It's gonna really show up in your thoughts, right?
The divine life will manifest in your life to the degree that you've renewed your mind
Alright, so say renewed mind equals divine life renewed mind equals divine life
So to the degree that you have renewed your mind
You will experience the manifestation of the divine life in yours
so first of all
it's going to be thoughts and then feelings and
Emotions and so what Jesus is saying here is that you can experience and have in your life the exact same
Emotional state of being as God if you can have the mind of Christ
You can have the feelings of Christ and the emotions of Christ
There is a promise here for you that you can participate in an experience for yourself the exact same
life of Christ the divine life in your thoughts and your feelings and your emotions the exact same
Emotional state of being is God which is pretty phenomenal, right? That is what effortless bliss is. Whoa
That is joy unspeakable and full of glory, come on
All right. Now, let's look at this word
This word as well
Abundance now the Greek word for abundance here is the Greek word perisos now what that word means. Here's the actual translation is
without
measure
How good is that without?
Measure you you the blueprint for your life the divine design for your life. We're God. We're this great move of God
that's coming and where it's taking you is into the original divine design for your life, which is a
limitless
Participation in the fullness of the divine life that you would have a limitless
unhindered access
24-7 constant perpetual experience of the divine life and that this God's state of being would be
Your state of being and you would have limitless access to it. Now. This is
Just talking like this, right? It will it will create
problems for you if you want to bring people into this if you want to talk to people about this right because when you talk
to people about the
Greatness of what God has for them it exposes
Where they're living in right now and some people hate it and some people will their hearts get lit on fire
All right
So some people hate it because it exposes that they're not where God wants them to be
Newsflash none of us are there yet where God wants us to be
That's what the point of this great move of God is is to take us from where we are and to restore to us the divine
Life without measure. All right, so you could say right?
The thief comes to rob and kill and destroy but I've come that they might have life the divine life without
measure, but listen
Average thinking normal thinking is gonna rob you of this so you could say this right you could say
Average thinking right
Jesus said the thief comes to rob and kill and destroy
But this you can substitute this word in here and it actually works and you get a bit of a surprise when you do this
Average thinking comes to rob and kill and destroy
But I have come that they might have the divine life and have it without measure
This is what I want to point something. I want to point out to you. Is that churches have stopped?
Preaching the greatness of the call of God on your life churches have stopped. They've gotten disappointed. They've gotten
Downhearted they've minimized they've shrunk. They've they've downsized and I'm not saying all and I'm not saying it should happen
I'm just saying it's where it's at and I'm saying God wants to restore this. He wants to deal with this
He wants to bring us to a whole new place. He wants to restore to us our faith
He wants to restore to us our hope he wants to restore to us in us this unshakable conviction that we could be fully
Persuaded that what Jesus said is what what he promised is what he meant and that's where he's taking us right and you should
You know
What God wants to do is restore faith in you restore hope in you restore belief in you that you really can
Step into the fullness of the divine life, right?
So he wants to tear average thinking away from you
He wants to tear small thinking away from you. He wants to tear that a normal mindset away from you
He wants to set you up because those average thoughts those normal thoughts the thoughts of all the people in your church around you
They are actually not producing the divine life. You've got to realize that listen
This is a really really big deal what Christians have normalized as our theology as our culture is actually
robbing us, right? Our average, our normal, our culture, our mindsets have actually
come to rob and kill and destroy. What you have to realize is that the enemy
has done, like he's done a plant in there and he's normalized thinking that
actually robs and kills and destroys and he has disconnected us from the renewed
mind which produces the divine life in us, all right? So when I'm talking about
hey, I've got this right of passage and raising loyalty, it's not designed to be
normal, it's not, right? Because it's designed to produce something else, it's
designed to help align you with the next great move of God that's coming, all
right? Boom! That is pillar number one of the next great move of God is that he
wants to restore to us the divine life without measure, all right? Get ready for
pillar number two, say pillar number two, it's divine family. John 17 starting at
verse 20, Jesus says this,
Oh my gosh, so much glorious depth in this verse, so that they may be
brought to complete unity. What is this complete unity? It's divine family. We're
going to talk more on this in the next session, it's the fellowship of the
Trinity. The fellowship of the Trinity is an unbroken cycle of divine love. Each
member of the Trinity receiving divine love perfectly and giving perfect
expression to divine love. This is the blueprint for you and God wants to
restore this to this divine family, right? Start with us having this type of union
with God and then reproduce that type of relationship in our marriages, in our
families, in our parenting, in our churches, in all the relationships around
our lives, we reproduce divine family. This is actually the heartbeat of heaven.
This is what heaven on earth looks like. This is where heaven on earth manifests.
First it manifests in your thinking, then your feelings, then your
emotions and then your relationships. That's where heaven on
earth manifests and it looks like divine family. All right, say pillar number three.
All right, you're gonna love this one. Pillar number three is divine health. We're
gonna be talking about this a bunch more next week in the Divine Health
Summit. But John 14 12, Jesus said, anyone who has faith in me will do what I've
been doing. They will do even greater works than these. One of those things is
he lived in divine health, he restored health, he raised the dead. So whatever it
is in your life, God wants to see shalom, which is everything functioning
according to divine design. Divine health is pillar number three. Number four,
divine abundance. Come with me to Deuteronomy 28 12 to 13. The Lord will
open to you his good treasure, the heavens, to give the rain to your land
and its season and to bless all the work of your land. You shall lend to many
nations, but you shall not borrow. You shall be the head and not the tail.
Listen, God wants to restore to us a measure of divine abundance, like the
level of divine abundance that we require in order to fulfill the next
pillar, right? So he wants to restore to us the divine abundance required to
fulfill the next pillar, which is our divine assignment, okay? He wants to
resource us like we've never been resourced before in order to fulfill
pillar number five, which is divine assignment. So here's divine assignment,
Matthew 28 19. A lot of you will be able to guess this. Therefore go and make
disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the
Son and of the Holy Spirit. This is pillar number five. The divine
assignment on us is to make disciples of all nations, not just make disciples in
all nations, but to make disciples of all nations. So pillar number four is
divine abundance. How much divine abundance? You shall lend to many
nations, right? But you shall not borrow. You will be the head and not the
tail. You will be the head of nations. And listen, in Deuteronomy 28, he
connected lending to many nations, but not borrowing and being the head, not
the tail. He connected that to our understanding of finances, all right?
So this is definitely connected to our understanding of kingdom economics our stewardship of finances divine abundance
Uh that resources us for divine assignment is where god's taking us
So divine abundance is pillar number four divine assignment is pillar number five, which is an assignment to disciple nations
God wants to resource us with divine
Abundance and this is where the next great move of god is going to resource us with divine abundance to fulfill our divine assignment
To disciple nations and and listen, it also includes being resourced to live in ephesians 3 20
I'll read this in the passion translation
Never doubt god's mighty power to work in you and accomplish all this
He will achieve infinitely
More than your greatest dream your most under than your greatest request your most unbelievable dream and exceed your wildest
Imagination he will outdo them all for his miraculous power constantly
energizes you
I don't know about you, but I think that that is pretty wild divine abundance
God is releasing a move of the spirit that is designed to restore divine abundance so that you can lend to many nations
But you shall not borrow you shall be the head and you shall and not the tail you will disciple
Nations and you'll be resource to disciple nations and resource to
Live out your wildest dreams. I don't know about you, but i'm pretty pumped for this outrageous exciting move of the spirit of god
That is upon us
so
Family, that's the five pillars of the coming the great coming move of the spirit of god
That's an overview of the last 500 years of where god's been going and where he's taking us and where we're at right now
And what god is getting set to do okay the five pillars of this
Of the next great move of god i'll drop them for you again
And they are divine life divine family divine health divine abundance and divine assignment
It's all about shalom everything in your life operating and functioning according to divine
design
Love it. Well the the rest of the rite of passage, right? That's the what okay
Now the what is pretty exciting but the rest of the rite of passage this challenge that we're doing right it's about the how
Okay
It might it might say you might go. Oh, that sounds nice, but it's not achievable
And I want to speak to your heart right now and I want to say it is it is achievable for you
All right. I want to say it's possible for you
I want to say god's not getting your hopes up here just to disappoint you. This is achievable for you
the spirit of god
Is wanting to set you up for success
He's not wanting to set you up for disappointment on this the spirit of god is dreaming bigger than you are
He's wanting you to dream bigger and he wants to show you how it's possible for you to step into this
All right
So the rest of this rite of passage challenge is about showing us how we can actually create
How we can actually make that happen because it's possible we're seeing amazing
Results in this already and I want to share with you. What is making this possible?
What is fast tracking people and what is creating?
exponential
Growth for people and what is fast tracking people into?
Alignment with the divine design. What is fast tracking people into alignment with the current move of god, right?
Because the current move of god that is upon us right now is a move of god that is actually
Fast tracking us into alignment, right? So in this
We this that's what's coming right that that's the five pillars of the great move of god that's coming
Well, what's god doing right now? Well, what god's doing right now is he's calling out those he's he's summoning
It's like 2 chronicles 16 9 the eyes of the lord range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully
Devoted to him if you're out there somewhere on the planet just say yes
That's me if you're out there somewhere on the planet and you're like, yes god. I want to align with what you're doing
I'm all in for what you're doing if your heart is yes to that
Then I want you to say yes because the spirit of god is it's 2 chronicles 16 9 is happening in the earth right now
The eyes of the lord range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully devoted to him
He is looking intently at your heart
He's scouring the face of the earth to find those who would align with him who would say yes god
I'm all in take me use me take me where i'm at right now
This is not about being perfect. He wants to grab you right where you are right now
And he wants to breathe life on you. He wants to bring breathe revelation a renewed mind a reformation
and restoration into your life that aligns you to be a catalyst and a conduit and a steward, uh
Of this next great coming move of the spirit of god
So if you're out there and you're like, yes, I want this. This is what the rite of passage
challenge and program is about is about helping you fast-track helping you
accelerate helping you step into and a place of exponential growth which is by
the way a place of exponential growth is a rhythm as a way of life as a lifestyle
that you live it which is a constant perpetual life lived in a constant move
of the Spirit of God so the rest of this week and the this next time five
