Congratulations.
Why don't you stand to your feet and welcome Haley Braun
as she stares on this Reformers theme.
Oh, wow, it feels so weird not having a mic in my hand
that I feel like, what am I doing with my hands?
I've got both of them.
Who knows what's going to happen now?
No, I'm just joking.
It is so good to be with you all.
My goodness.
You know, I don't think, you know, sometimes you get up here
and you forget to say, you know, I'm a Reformer.
I'm a Reformer.
I forget to say some things and I think first session
when I opened on Tuesday morning, you know,
kind of opening the first chapter
and having no one to go off of,
it's so fun to follow after people
because then you can kind of watch what they do
and then kind of fix yourself as you go.
But you know what, I don't think I actually shared
what an honour and a privilege this is for me.
You know, I remember sitting in this room
right at the back there when Chris Vallotton
was speaking to my first year class
and when I mean like first year class,
we're talking about short hair,
like short spiky blonde hair,
hairdresser from South Africa, 22,
showed up not knowing anything about revival,
thought I was coming to a theological school
around the supernatural, didn't bring any nice clothes
because I thought it was Bible school
and you couldn't look fancy
and went through a year of school
and while I'm sitting in the back,
Chris is talking about Abraham
and how Abraham is gonna leave his father's country,
his father's house and he's gonna settle
and the Lord says, that's you.
He said, you're gonna leave.
I told my parents I was coming for nine.
months. My mom was crying at the airport. My mom never cries for that kind of
stuff. I was like, thank you mom, why are you crying? What's your problem? I'd
already spent a year in Michigan when I was 18. Anyone from Michigan here? Oh come
on, lots of people from Michigan. I believe there's a great economic reform
coming to Michigan actually. I think that there's gonna be innovation with
computer technology, especially around chips. I don't know anything about that
but I feel like what, where they saw a downturn in the automotive industry, I
saw like a new technological revival happening in Michigan and I felt
like it was going to be partnered with a revival in the natural, that the Lord is
about to waken the churches in Michigan, those that have faithfully sown for
years and years, hungering for the Lord. I believe that there's going to be an
outpouring of His Spirit and it's going to tie in with an outpouring of an
economic revival. So we bless Michigan in Jesus' name. I'm not very good on
Instagram so I haven't released that word yet. It's been hanging out just
for a few months in me but I guess this was the time. Anyway so I had been gone
for a year already in Michigan and came home and so I didn't know why my mom was
so sad. Well anyway the Lord said that you're gonna be like Abraham and then He
said this, He said that this house will become your house and that these fathers
will become your fathers and they will launch you from their platform and I
thought that is a joke. Like that is funny, it's funny. I wasn't, I mean Ben
might argue with me now, I didn't feel like I was an exceptional student. I
don't feel like I had exceptional favor. I felt just like a typical little
girl leading worship at school and I just want to tell you the privilege to
be standing here, no matter how many times I get to stand on this stage, the
overwhelming privilege and responsibility that I feel. It's not a
it's not a bad weight of responsibility. I believe it's healthy because I know
the price that you've paid to sit in these seats. I know what it was
like to empty my bank account to come to school and I know what I received
and I feel so privileged that as a 35 year old woman that I get to stand up
here and share with you what the Lord is saying to me and I don't take that
lightly and I recognize each of you in this room carry immense authority in the
Lord. You all have history with the Lord and we're not coming here to teach you
things because we know more than you. We're here to teach you what we know, to
share with you what we have because we are running a race with you. This is, yeah
we can give a hand for that. That's good.
We are all running a race. None of us are at the finish line. In fact even the
great cloud of witnesses haven't entered in to their reward. It says that they
have not entered into their reward because they're waiting for us. For us.
That is such a powerful and beautiful, beautiful concept to think that these
men and women who were persecuted, who laid down their lives, they'd say that
they were sown in two. How intense and graphic is the Bible? But this is the
reality of those believers who are still to enter into the fullness of their
reward and they're cheering us on because our yes matters. And for me to be
able to stand with a company of believers who would sacrifice a week of
your lives, your time, your families, your jobs, the things that matter to you to
come and sit under us. I just want to tell you it is such an honour and I
really do pray that beyond anything that you receive in your mind that your
spirit will grab a hold of this. I remember sitting in first year and I
couldn't write notes fast enough. I felt like, oh my gosh would you slow down. Bill
would say like three words and I'd be like, it was like revolutionary because
the way that he thought about life was different to how I thought about life.
And you've come into a culture that maybe even some things that we brush
past, this is like, oh my word I didn't know that. And I just want to encourage
you that I remember coming home after doing first year feeling like, how am I
gonna remember all of this? Anyone feeling like that? And things
started coming out of me that I'd never thought about before. And it was because
I'd paid a price and I'd attached my faith to that. And you've paid a price
and you've attached your faith to that and I promise you there are things that
are gonna come out of you that you don't even know where they come from.
And you know what, they come from heaven. They come from jumping in the river of
the culture of heaven and the river of the culture of heaven is gonna flow with
you home. And there's gonna be more love in your eyes and more passion in your
heart because you've met with God. And so I'm excited to talk today about prophets
of reformation. My computer keeps going to sleep and I honestly have no clue how
to make it not go to sleep. So if I type in my password a couple times, I'm just
gonna do that. You know Chris was, I was like, Chris don't teach my message. Chris
was talking a lot about, no it's so powerful, I'm just playing. Chris is such
a beloved father of mine. I really, he's making he's making raspberry noises with
his mouth.
his mouth, but I don't have my iPad up here today,
but one day Chris saw me teaching
with notes scattered everywhere
because I'm still figuring out my note system.
And him and Kathy texted me that evening
and gave me money to buy an iPad.
Because fathers don't just see destiny in you,
they partner with it.
And this man is a real father to me.
And I get emotional because I'm just so grateful.
I recognize that he has laid down such a foundation
that I get to stand on and I don't take that for granted.
And so, anyway, I don't know what I was gonna say,
Chris was preaching my message,
that's what I was saying, I was making fun of him.
And then I cried about you, so.
Thank you, Chris was talking about culture
and that's what I wanna start with today.
Obviously, we're not gonna just have the problems
of culture, but there is a reality to culture
that I think sometimes when you're living in culture,
you don't recognize how much it's changing.
I was just thinking, I was sitting with my grandparents,
I was in South Africa, I've got a grandmother
who's turning 92 in just a few days
and a grandfather who's 91.
And I was sitting with them talking
and I was having this realisation
of how the world has changed in their lifetime.
I mean, I was just, I went to go do a filming for something
and the person that was talking to me
was talking about doing a CD set.
And I thought, do people even listen to CDs anymore?
But do you remember when CDs were everything?
I mean, people were making,
went from mix tapes to mix CDs.
And when I was a teenager, if you really liked someone,
you made a mix CD of them, of all the cool songs.
And I remember one boy dropped off a mix CD in my postbox.
And I mean, yeah, I didn't marry him though.
Married a different boy, sorry.
Sorry to that young man, he's a good young man,
not my young man.
And if you think about it, sometimes we've,
culture has changed so much.
You know, we went, I grew up listening
to Salty the Singing Songbook cassettes.
That's how I got saved.
Three years old, listening to Salty the Singing Songbook,
by myself on a couch, gave my heart to Jesus,
saying to the Lord, I never wanna sing a song
that isn't from my heart to Him
because Salty was crying about that.
And from there, you know, then we go cassette tapes.
Then we'd like the revolutionary of the CD.
I remember listening to Vineyard, Vineyard CDs in my house.
My mom would listen.
Hungry, I come to you for I know you satisfy.
Revolutionary, that was revival music out on CDs
with Catherine Scott and Brenton Brown
and all these amazing people.
And then we went to MP3 players
and all of a sudden it was like revolutionary
because now we don't have 16 songs on a CD.
Now you can have hundreds of songs that's like MP3 player.
And then MP3 players went to our phones
and then our phones no longer need to store information.
Now we can just have Spotify.
Do you get what I'm saying?
Life has changed.
Do you remember when internet was dial up?
I think Chris was making some interesting sounds last night.
I'm not sure if it was dial up sounds, but he was trying.
And Dana's telling me to slow down
because I've got an accent and I get like an auctioneer.
Sorry.
Pray for quickening in your spirit.
And I don't know where I was now.
I'm so sorry.
Dial up, there we go.
And now we get bummed if we can't hook up to the internet
in the Hebrews lobby because it should be free, right?
It's free wifi, why isn't it working?
When we used to sit there for ages,
unplugging those blinking wires and replugging them,
restarting your computer and now everything,
we just got instant, instant, instant.
If you want a butternut squash,
forget needing it in season,
just go to the grocery store and pay with your plastic card
that isn't even real money
and maybe you don't even have any money in your account,
but you can still get what you want.
Do you know how much I pay
for organic strawberries from Costco in winter?
It's ridiculous, do you know why?
Because strawberries don't grow in winter,
but I want them in winter
and we've created this culture of instantaneous.
It's like, if I want it, I can have it
and I can have it now.
I can go onto Amazon,
I can order it without moving off of my couch.
I cannot have a job and I can pay this thing with credit,
borrowed from someone else.
And we've created, the culture has changed.
And one thing, so this instantaneous culture has changed,
but with that has come this thing of,
if I want it, I can have it.
And now if I want it, I can have it.
And if you don't agree with me,
I can change the terminology of the agreement
to make the truth sound evil.
Are you with me?
It's called linguistic theft.
And our culture right now is submerged in linguistic theft,
which means I am taking words and I'm.
changing their meaning to get agreement.
You know, they say that what you promote
is what you celebrate.
What you celebrate is what you promote.
Do you wanna know why our children
are struggling with their sexuality?
Because we are celebrating,
we are celebrating a culture of sexuality
that is not of the Bible.
Who's doing the marriage march?
Who's doing the we're still together march?
Who's marching with flags and ribbons saying
we're together and look at our beautiful children?
Who's celebrating?
You see, what you celebrate, you promote.
And there's been a culture of celebration
all over social media,
all over what we're receiving the news,
celebrating to change our viewpoint of culture.
Are you with me?
So think of the word tolerance.
I'm gonna read you the definition of tolerance.
Tolerance is the ability or willingness
to tolerate something, in particular,
the existence of opinions or behaviours
that one does not necessarily agree with.
So when the church stands up and says,
I disagree with that, what do we get called?
Intolerant.
What is the definition of tolerance?
Is we can have two different opinions
and stay in connection.
The word intolerance has been made to say
if you disagree with this one way of thinking,
you are now intolerant.
That is not the meaning of intolerance.
What's the meaning of love?
Proverbs 13, 24, in fact says,
if you do not discipline your children, you hate them.
That's a wild thing to think.
My son is seven.
He's delightful.
I'm gonna tell you a story about him just now.
His name's Aiden.
Aiden, when I discipline him and we,
I'm not even talking about spanking.
If that's what you wanna do,
I'm not saying a certain kind of discipline.
I'm saying, however you correct your child
to lead them in the ways
that the Lord has designed them to live,
does not always feel fun.
My seven-year-old, when I correct him and I discipline him,
we have a clip up, clip down chart.
You clip up if we see exceptional attitude.
You clip down if we need some adjustment in behaviour.
And he thinks about things or he reads things
or sometimes we do hassle time,
which is if you hassle me and all the time I take
to work out this hassle, you're gonna give me time back.
And so he does chores for me.
Can I tell you what?
Sometimes you could swear I'm cutting that child's foot off
when I ask him to do a chore.
You don't love me.
You hate me.
You know what?
That the pain of discipline causes him to say words
that don't actually mean what I'm actually doing.
And you know, one day I said,
you know what, Aiden, it says in the Bible,
if I don't discipline you,
that means I hate you.
I discipline you because I love you.
And when we talk about prophetic reformation,
I wanna tell you, we are in a reformation.
And we get to decide if we wanna be part of reforming
or if we want to be reformed.
When I talk about the meaning of love,
it says in 2 Timothy 3, 1, it says,
there will be terrible times in the last days.
People will be lovers of themselves,
lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive,
disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, ungodly,
without love, unforgiving, slanderous.
You wanna talk about what being without love
is being unforgiving.
How much offence are we legislating
in terms of I don't feel safe?
I'm so sorry.
Am I being too intense?
Okay.
Do you know how many times I hear the word,
I don't feel safe?
Now I understand if you actually aren't safe,
then that's a problem.
But when you're having a beautiful conversation
between a father and a daughter
and a father is trying to call you higher,
because we disagree, now I don't feel safe.
I'm actually allowing myself to harbour myself
into unforgiveness, into a place of immaturity,
because I have prized my feeling of comfort
over my own development.
This is intense, I'm sorry.
Not lovers of the good, without self-control.
Rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure
rather than lovers of God,
having a form of godliness but denying its power.
You know what's so wild about this term,
that redefining love is actually that
there's a form of love in the redefinition of love.
Because there is euphoria and passion and joy in love.
There is safety and connection in love,
but love in itself is not self-serving.
The actual definition of love is to serve one another.
Your marriage does not go well
when you go into your marriage to serve yourself.
Try it, don't try it.
You know, we argue about women and submission,
and you know, I've found that we can argue all day long
about what submission looks like,
but really, it's actually a mutual submission,
and what we submit, we can talk about.
But really, in a healthy marriage,
in a healthy relationship, everybody submits something.
Because love yields, love believes all things,
it hopes all things, and endures all things.
Love actually tells the truth,
because the truth is what sets us free.
Ooh.
Definition of hate, intense or passionate dislike.
Not disagreement.
We've changed the word hate,
hate means intense or passionate dislike.
Culture has changed the meaning of word hate
to you disagree with me.
You hate me because you disagree with me.
That's not the definition of hate.
And you know, I once was asking the Lord,
I was like, Lord, what do we do with this generation
that's growing up under this?
I was despaired, I honestly, and He said,
you know what, Haley, they're gonna have the most powerful
yes any generation has ever had.
And I said, why is that, Lord?
He said, because your generation,
you met me and then you got tested in the fire.
He said, this generation will find the truth in the fire.
If we wanna talk about being prophetic reformers,
we have to understand the climate that we are in.
And can I tell you what I believe the reformation
that is wanting to happen to the church is one,
to muzzle the church, to bridle the church,
and to put the church under a hole.
To put the light under a bush.
To say, actually, you are relegated to this little corner.
You can do your thing in here,
but you can't do your thing out there.
And in fact, we wanna start controlling
what that thing is you do.
I mean, we're seeing it in California.
We're seeing it around sexuality.
We faced it in our school.
We had a team of ours called Equipped to Love
who went out and protested on the steps.
At the Capitol, they did a ton of research
and actually the bill was changed.
But if they didn't do that,
it would have been law that we in our school of ministry
would have been bound to being unable to teach
on healthy sexuality within our school environment.
Legislated by the government.
There is a prophetic reformation happening.
Just depends which side we're partnering with.
There's a reformation happening in our region right now.
And you know what?
One day the Lord said to me,
I had this wild encounter with the Lord.
I don't wanna talk about what prophets do,
but before I do that,
I had this wild encounter with the Lord for six weeks.
The Lord dealt with the fear of man in my life.
It was the most powerful,
still to this day I can't talk about it
without being undone.
The reality of the Holy Spirit
became so alive and so awoken in me.
I began to realise what have I been doing
in ministry without You?
I've been partnering with You,
but I didn't realise that You were so with me.
And in this encounter,
as I experienced the power of the Holy Spirit,
right at the end of the encounter, the pandemic happened.
And we were in this,
God was starting to move in our environment,
things were happening and I was feeling so excited
because I live for revival.
I live for the fire of God to burn in the church,
to be the sustainable fire that carries forth reformation
and a shift in creativity that the world would know God.
That is what I live for.
And in the midst of this encounter,
thanks for cheering, you're so kind.
In the midst of this encounter, the whole world shuts down.
And I'm like, God, what are we doing?
Why did you do this?
And you know, He didn't answer why.
All He said to me was,
Haley, make sure you are not asleep in an awakening.
And immediately I knew in my spirit, He was saying,
all these things that are happening around you,
do not wake up to what's happening in culture,
wake up to what's happening in my kingdom.
Haley, I put my spirit inside you
to wake you up to reality,
to wake you up to an answer,
to wake you up to my solution for a shift in culture.
And that is my spirit inside of my people.
And so in this, I wanna talk about
what it means to be a prophet filled with the Spirit
and what it means to bring reformation to a place
and to a time that is in great shift.
And you know what I think?
I titled this message, People of Courage.
The word courage sounds exciting,
but courage is not passion.
When you first receive a word,
you receive it with passion, right?
Feels great, exciting.
A mother of nations prophesied to the people,
fill stadiums, I don't know, run the ministry,
write a book until you have to.
Write the book, hey, Bethany.
And then you get feedback.
And then you have to face your lack.
You're in Psalm 105, verse 19, it talks about Joseph
and it says that the word that was released tested him
until it came to fulfilment.
Passion is the beginning of the word springing forth in you.
But courage is what leads us through to persevere,
to see it to the end.
And you know what?
Courage doesn't actually come from you.
Courage comes from the core of God.
Peter, Chris talked about Peter.
Peter was zealous.
I think I was a lot like Peter.
I give him a hard time, but really, Peter was zealous.
He's like the first guy out the boat, no one else is.
You know, he's like, he's got passion.
He's got a lot of it.
He's like, I'm coming out the boat.
But I think Peter sometimes struggled with courage.
He had passion, he had zeal,
but in the moment where he had to push through,
that's where he questioned.
Peter was the guy that chopped off the ear of the soldier.
Passion, loves Jesus, zealous.
Peter's the guy that says, I'll never deny you, never ever.
I don't think Peter was lying.
I think Peter meant it with every fibre of his being.
I will never deny you, Jesus.
I think Peter burned with passion for the Lord.
But in the face of trial, in the face of being faced
with the same crucifixion Jesus was, Peter lacked courage.
That sounds really like, oh, Peter, you're like,
I'm like, I would not like to, I see myself in Peter.
I would not like to poo-poo on Peter, you know?
I'm like, humanity, I think Peter in that moment
is a real reflection of our humanity.
Real desire to serve God, real desire to say yes.
But in the face of trial and tribulation, I find it hard.
But you see, in Peter, who's the first person
that gets up to speak after outpouring of the Holy Spirit?
And you know what happens in chapter three,
in Acts chapter three, there's a man at the gate,
beautiful, and he asks for money.
And Peter says, look at me.
You know, often I wonder if it was the power of Peter
looking at Jesus on the water that caused him
to ask the man to look at him.
I wonder if there was something Peter saw in Jesus
that caused him to rise out of the water
that he knew now lived inside of him.
And he says to the man, look at me.
And the man looks at him and he is healed.
He says, silver and gold, I have none.
But what I have to you, I give.
In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.
That's a beautiful story until you read Acts chapter four,
where he's taken in front of the elders and the Sanhedrin
and all of the Pharisees to be judged.
And they actually want to, they want to end
the ministry of the Gospel.
They wanna make an end.
And Peter, who was a coward before,
in the face of the same man,
now filled with the Holy Spirit, what does he respond?
Says, I will not stop preaching this Gospel.
And then he goes and he meets with the other apostles
and those touched by the Holy Spirit.
And they begin to pray for what?
Boldness.
That is the mark of the move of the Holy Spirit
in the church.
Is that men and women who previously were full of passion,
who were full of zeal, but struggled with follow through,
they get marked with courage and an outcry for boldness.
I believe that this is the prophetic reformation
for the church.
And the beginning of it is for an outpouring
of the Holy Spirit that we might step into a holy boldness
and a holy courage.
Thank you.
So what do prophets do?
They do awesome stuff, Ben says.
The first thing I wanna say is prophets protect.
In 1 Samuel 19, let's open up to that.
I'm sure prophets do a lot more than what I tell you today.
In fact, I know they do a lot more,
but these are the five things I wanna highlight
of what prophets do and what I believe
that we are gonna do in a prophetic reformation.
1 Samuel 19.
Oh, this is such a beautiful.
Have you ever read the Bible
and you could swear that the story was never there before?
Have you ever read stuff and you're like,
that was never there before?
And then you're like, oh, wait,
it's been there for a long time.
Verse 18, it happens to me all the time.
I'll be like, oh, I've never read that before,
but I've read the whole Bible.
But this story so captured my heart.
1 Samuel 19, verse 18, it says,
now David fled and escaped to come to Samuel at Ramah.
So what's happening right now?
David is fleeing Saul.
Saul is jealous, Saul is after him.
And Jonathan has told David,
actually, Michael's told David that Saul's gonna kill you.
Jonathan's told him, Michael gives him an escape plan.
She puts like a little goats fur and whatever,
and she helps David escape.
It's so crazy, Saul thought that Jonathan and Michael
would be his allies, because those were his kids.
But they protected the anointed of God.
Anyway, we'll move on.
Now David fled and escaped and came to Samuel at Ramah
and told him all that Saul had done to him.
Can I tell you what's really interesting here?
David didn't run to his family.
He didn't run to people that would say,
I'm so sorry, that's so hard.
Your life is so tough.
You should just stay here.
You should not be king.
You should hide.
No, David ran to the man that identified
the Word of God over his life in the first place.
David ran to a refuge of truth, not a refuge of comfort.
I wanna tell you, the Holy Spirit is comfort,
but we actually find immense comfort in the truth.
Running away from who God's called us to be
doesn't comfort us.
I tried to run away for so long
because I had all the reasons of why I didn't fit the bill
of the prophetic words over my life.
One, I was a girl, just to start with.
Two, I had the fear of man in my life.
I was afraid of four people's opinions,
let alone 500 of you.
Three, I was a prophet, so I'd stand in the room
hearing the thoughts of all the people that didn't like me
and I would preach to them half the time
instead of the ones that actually wanted to listen.
The Lord once told me, He said,
you preach to three people in the room that don't like you.
Why don't you preach to the 70 that do?
You know, sometimes as prophetic people,
we can discern things and we can end up,
we can end up playing to the negative part.
Ooh, you can often feel the people
that maybe have an issue with you.
And we end up trying to, I don't know, adjust ourselves
or instead of actually holding forth
to the Word of God in our lives.
Do you know the anointing can provoke jealousy?
The anointing can provoke insecurity.
Being the fullness of who God called you to be
can make other people feel different things.
And you don't do that to rub it in their face,
you don't do it as a reaction
because you're still playing to them.
You do one thing, you serve and you obey God.
And it's in obedience and faithfulness
that we walk out our true identity and into our destiny.
You know, I think we have to, as prophetic,
I didn't grow up knowing I was prophetic,
so I grew up adjusting myself to make people happy
and it was such a well-worn path.
I stepped into ministry and I just kept doing it.
And I had to actually readjust and learn
to actually love the people that wanted to be there,
serve the people that wanted to be there
and let the people that didn't figure it out.
Just because we can discern it
doesn't mean we can control it.
Okay, I'm gonna keep going
because we're gonna go on a rabbit trail.
So he went to Samuel's Ramah
and told all that Saul had done to him.
And he and Samuel went and stayed in Niath.
Now Niath is, they think this was Samuel's home.
It kind of means home or resting place.
So he's there where Samuel lives.
It was told to Saul saying,
behold, David is at Niath in Ramah.
When Saul sent messages to take David,
sorry, so Saul sent messages to take David,
but when they saw the company of prophets prophesying
with Samuel standing and presiding over them,
the Spirit of God came upon the messages of Saul
and they also prophesied.
Now I wanna tell you,
I don't think these messengers were like little boys
with like leather sacks and little parchment
being like, I've got something to tell you.
If Saul wants to kill David,
he's probably sending big messengers,
men that are probably trained in war
because David is a warrior.
Let's not forget, Saul killed 1,000,
but David has killed 10,000.
David is a skilled warrior.
And so here, Saul's not sending his little piffling guys,
the little kids of the kids.
He's sending big dudes.
And these big dudes are coming out to end David's life.
And what happens?
The Spirit of God is so powerful on these prophets
that they start prophesying.
Let's keep reading.
When I was told, wow, I just feel God, that's wonderful.
I know God's always here,
but I love when I feel the joy of the Lord makes us strong.
Verse 21, when it was told, Saul sent other messengers,
probably bigger, stronger, and more reliable ones.
That was my, that was Haley's amplified version.
And they also prophesied.
Second round of guys prophesied.
So guess what?
Saul, the king, he's the king.
He goes, the king of Israel goes.
He says, forget these messengers, I'm going.
So he goes, the third time, sorry.
Sorry, again, the third time he sent messages,
and then he himself went to Ramah
and came as far as the large well,
which Daniel says is about seven miles away from Nioth.
That is at 6.
and he asked and said, where are Samuel and David?
And someone said, behold, they are in Niath and Ramah.
And they proceeded there to Niath and Ramah,
and the Spirit of God came upon him also,
so that he went along prophesying continually
until he came to Niath and Ramah.
Now we're not talking about a man that doesn't know God,
a man that's just naive.
We're not even talking about a Nebuchadnezzar.
We are talking about a man that knows God,
has rejected God, and is full of demonic spirits.
He is full of murder, full of envy, full of hate.
And as he comes to this company of the prophets,
you know, this is the original school of the prophets.
As he comes to the company of the prophets,
the presence of God is so powerful
that an atmosphere of the kingdom has been created.
These aren't even people that have the Holy Spirit yet
in the outpouring.
These people have a measure of the Spirit,
but not the fullness of the outpouring on all flesh.
But there's something that these prophets are doing
that creates a shield for God's anointed.
And the first thing I wanna say is the prophets defend.
They defend what God cares about.
The prophets protect the anointing.
The prophets recognise the anointing,
and they protect the anointing.
One thing we have the privilege of doing
is recognising the anointing on people's lives
before they recognise it.
And we get around them and we protect them
from the arrows of the enemy.
We recognise the anointing on sons and daughters,
and we come up with prophetic plans
and prophetic protocols to protect their lives.
I can tell you my son, Aidan,
I was gonna send him to an art school.
He's very creative, very artistic, a great dancer,
got a little musician on the inside.
And I went to a very good art school here in Reading.
It's a charter school, so it wouldn't have cost us money.
And I thought this is the perfect option.
It's free, it's gonna train him up in the arts.
And I walked that school property,
and they were talking about some of the things
that they celebrate.
And I immediately felt like he's too sensitive in the spirit
to actually be exposed to this level
of multicultural spirituality.
And I knew immediately I have to send him to BCS,
that I actually have to shield my son,
I have to shield his feeler gift,
I have to shield his little perceiver gift,
and I need to put him in the presence of God.
You know, sometimes we step out to grow in things,
but there's other times where we shield.
And that's what the prophets do.
The prophets shield.
And I wanna tell you in this season, in this generation,
it is a time for us to shield children.
It is a time for us to shield our teenagers.
It's a time for us to shield one another,
to shield them with the words of God,
to shield them with the Spirit of God.
And the second things I wanna say is that the prophets seek.
They seek the heart of God.
In 1 Samuel 2, the Lord says that Eli's sons are worthless.
That's a painful thing to say.
But I didn't say that, God said that.
That Eli's sons were worthless to him.
And you know what it says?
Because they did not know the Lord
or the ministry of the priests.
We are a royal priesthood and a holy nation.
And our first mandate is to know the Lord
and to serve people.
That is the ministry of the priests.
But later on in 1 Samuel 2, 35, he says,
but I will raise up one who will do what is in my heart
and in my soul.
I wanna do a little caveat here real quick.
In Judges 21, verse 25, right at the end of Judges,
it says that everyone did what was right in their own eyes.
It was literally, Judges was like the scene
of what is happening now in the earth.
Romans 1 25 says that they worship the creation
over the creator.
They worship what was happening in creation,
which is I give over to the lusts of my own flesh
and I call it love.
I do what is in me and I legalise it.
I find somewhere in the Bible
and I adjust it to make it sound good.
And right here, when Samuel enters the scene,
he is entering the scene as a prophet at the same time,
a very similar time to what we are in right now,
a time when everyone did what was in their,
what they thought was right to do.
And the Lord says, I am gonna raise up one
who will do what is in my heart and in my soul.
Prophets protect the anointing, prophets seek God.
They seek the heart of God.
They seek what is in his heart and in his soul.
We don't build what we long to build,
we build what God longs to build.
And I wanna tell you, you can get so connected to God
that what you love to build becomes what God loves to build
because what you love to build is what God loves to build.
The Lord is looking for intimacy and unity of His people.
He wants union and communion with you.
He doesn't wanna do anything without you.
because he loves doing things in relationship.
And so we as prophets of reformation, we have to seek God.
Yes, I know that he has poured himself out.
I know that he is available, but he is a lover.
If I arrive home, if I go home
and my husband asks me how my day went,
and I go, yeah, yeah, it's good.
And then he's around me, he goes,
I cannot help you with anything, no, I'm good.
But he's there, he's available, he's fully present.
Am I receiving from what he's giving me?
Do I know what's happening in his heart?
If we sit down on the couch and I open my computer,
we're watching maybe a show, maybe MasterChef, I don't know.
I like some good reality TV
that I don't have to think about
the troubles of the world sometimes.
MasterChef, Survivor, Amazing Race, all of those.
And I sit on my computer and he's there,
he's got his arm out around me,
but I'm sitting working away, which I can do sometimes,
and I'm in the zone.
Do you think I'm receiving the love that's available to me?
But the minute I close my computer
and I snuggle into his armpit, you know what I feel?
The love that was there
from the moment I walked through the door.
The Lord, I'm so sorry, I keep having to type
in this password, which is not helping a lot.
I hope I'm not distracting you.
You know, the Lord is available to us,
but He does wanna be sought.
He wants to be longed for, He wants to be loved.
Not because I said this on Tuesday,
not because He needs your love to feel good about Himself,
but because He loves your love.
And because you loving Him is good for you.
You know what's good for me to love my husband?
It's not just good for him, it's good for me.
Our covenant is strong.
When you go through hard seasons and you're in love,
there's a lot more grace.
Prophets seek God.
Prophets of reformation, they seek God.
I wanna read this quickly.
I had an encounter with the Lord
where I had a throne room encounter.
This doesn't happen to me a lot.
You know, a lot of people,
they talk about throne room encounters
like it happens to them all the time.
I just wanna tell you,
I think sometimes we can share these things
and then you think, this happens to me all the time.
It doesn't happen to me all the time,
but you know what?
I cherish it when it does.
And I just wanna speak this over you.
If you're in a season of unusual encounter with the Lord
and you don't know what it means,
I just wanna encourage you to enjoy it.
Often in the midst of the most beautiful moments with God,
we're trying to figure out what it's for.
And you'll have a lot of time to figure out what it's for,
but when God is speaking to you in unusual ways
and touching you in unusual ways,
in ways that you aren't used to,
you should enjoy it because it's powerful
and it's transformational.
And later on you can steward it.
Anyway, I was walking through the San Francisco airport
and I sat down at a booth.
I was probably eating orange chicken
from the Chinese buffet store,
cause it's my favourite.
And I was reading about the Hebrides revival.
And it was about these two old women
that started praying for a move of God
in this little Scottish town,
little Scottish village called the Hebrides.
And these women through prayer,
asked for the church elders to start praying as well.
And they started praying and one man,
what started with a prayer meeting of passion
turned into one man of courage standing up
and bringing a shift.
And a shift that poured out the revival of the spirit,
but a reformation of a town.
And I was reading about this and all of a sudden
in the middle of San Francisco airport,
which has now become a beloved place for me,
I got caught up into a vision
and I began writing as fast as I could.
I can show you my journal,
it's really bad writing
cause I could hardly see what I was writing,
but I didn't wanna lose it.
And I wrote this and this isn't the whole encounter,
but this is just a part of it.
Sorry.
Time is starting again and I'm starting the timer.
I'm flipping the order of authority.
Old systems are getting turned in my favour
and I'm birthing a new order.
The natural order is being shifted.
A new favour will rest on those
who have surrendered to my fire.
They carry a fire for my reformation.
There is a remnant rising
and they have been tested in the fire
of 1 Corinthians 3, 11 to 15 fire.
That which was built unto another
or for other has been consumed,
but that which now remains is me.
I'm revealing myself through sons and daughters
who have yielded to my nature and my likeness.
Never before have you seen what I'm about to do.
I long to reveal my glory.
Time has started.
You've been in a season of maturation,
incubation and birthing,
and I've asked you for much and you've willingly given.
I'm stepping in and I'm coming through
for I'm a covenant keeper.
keeping God and I do not go back on my word.
I kept my covenant with Abraham, with David and with Hannah
and I'll keep my covenant with you.
I've searched and I have found
a uniting of the church is coming,
a threefold strand is being woven.
One that will require humility from the bride
to make room and space for all expressions.
I'm birthing a fresh move in my apostles and my prophets
and they will be consumed with the heavenly mind
and drawn to gaze, to gaze, to gaze.
I'm getting caught up now and I'm gazing,
the flashes of lightning on his robe
are striking my heart and eyes.
Attention and affection to be consumed with his beauty,
his majesty and splendor.
He is all, all powerful.
I see the hosts and I see the angels.
I see them before him, peaceful and powerful,
worthy, worthy, worthy to receive all glory.
There are golden bowls now
and they look like they've been filled with liquid.
The oil of the bowls are filling and it's moving
and being poured out one to another and spilling over.
They are full of fragrance,
the sound of a lover's song
that is being poured out for him.
There is something on his oil being poured out.
The oil of Esther for preparation,
the oil of David for anointing,
the oil of Gilead for healing
and the oil of Aaron for unity.
The oil of the 10 virgins,
marking devotion to the bridegroom.
Yeah.
Phew.
The prophets seek his face.
The third thing is prophets awaken.
Oh sorry.
Prophets awaken the bride
to the reality of the spirit realm.
They awaken the bride to the reality
that we are not fighting on our own.
Prophets awaken the bride to the fact
that we have a power that doesn't come from the earth.
It doesn't come from being plugged into the political source
but comes from being plugged in to his source.
You know, even when Chris talks
about being a prophet to government,
Chris doesn't draw his strength
from the governmental office.
He draws his strength from the power of the Holy Spirit.
So that means that even if he walks in and he is rejected,
he knows he's not rejected by the one who sent him.
His mission isn't a mission for a man.
His mission is for God towards a man.
Yeah.
He's there to serve a man and to obey God,
not to obey a man.
Are you hearing me?
Prophets awaken the bride
to the reality of the kingdom realm.
If apostles give us the blueprints,
prophets awaken us to the power available.
In 2 Kings 6,
Elisha is awoken by a servant who is terrified.
And he says, there's an army coming against us.
And Elisha goes, don't you worry,
there are more for us than there are against us.
And then he prays for the eyes of his servant to be opened.
This is what we get to do as prophets.
We get to open the senses of the people of God
and awaken the church to the reality
that no matter what is happening out in the world,
greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world.
No matter what Instagram, no matter what Facebook,
no matter what CNN, no matter what Fox News,
no matter what anybody is saying to you,
the power does not rest with man, but with God.
And he has angels
that wanna be commanded and released by the people of God.
My little boy, are you guys doing okay?
Okay.
I wanna just talk about
how to open the senses of people real quick.
My son, again, I'm gonna talk a lot about Aidan.
I feel like I am potentially raising a little prophet.
And he is delightful and such a feeler, oh my word.
It is like, I cannot raise him
like I would raise a typical child
because his spiritual senses are so awake
and he doesn't know what to do with them
and he doesn't know what they are.
They're just big and little brain, big feelings.
And my little boy started coming to my bed every night.
I think I mentioned this to you.
Started coming to my bed every night having horrible dreams.
And I said to him, did I tell you the feet story?
Okay, if I did, maybe it'll be good to hear it again.
I don't know.
He comes to my bed every night.
He's waking me up at night, which all your parents know,
you don't really wanna be woken up at night
by a six-year-old either.
And I'm having to make a little bed on the floor.
And for the first couple nights, of course, of course,
anytime, but then I'm like, there's a problem here
because a child that wasn't having bad dreams
is now having bad dreams.
And so we're driving to school in the morning
and I said, hey pops, I call him pops.
Hey pops, are you having bad dreams at night?
He's like, yes.
I said, do you remember them?
He goes, no.
He said, I just don't like how I feel.
I said, okay.
I said, do you know why?
Are you afraid of anything?
Is anything happening?
He's like, no, nothing's happening.
So then I'm like, okay, well,
you can just bind those in Jesus' name.
You can tell them to leave.
I'm doing all the things I know to do, right?
And then he goes, but mom, we paused for a while,
and he's quiet in the car,
and about two minutes later, he goes, mom, I saw feet.
And I was like, okay, what kind of feet?
He's like, scary feet.
I say, okay, he said, they were in my closet,
and I saw them in your bathroom.
And I'm like, how did you see these feet?
He goes, I don't know, I just saw the feet.
So I said, well, you can tell those feet
to get behind me in the name of Jesus.
You can send them back to hell where they came from.
You know, I'm telling him all the things.
And I drop him off at school, but I'm bothered
because my son before this hadn't seen in the Spirit.
So I'm like, all I've ever been able to get from him
is his feeling gift and his perceiving gift.
So if I ever ask him, what's God saying to you?
He's like, mom, God doesn't say anything to me
because he doesn't hear.
What picture's God showing you?
I don't see anything because he doesn't see.
If I say, when you're around Michael,
so Michael's taking photos,
but he's one of our spiritual kids and at our house a lot.
What do you feel?
And he can tell me, oh, I feel this or that,
because he feels.
If he gets around people, he feels.
And so I'm like, why is my son seeing in the Spirit?
And why is he seeing the demonic?
That's my next question.
You know, and I've done all the right things, right?
All the parent things and all the tools that I have.
And I said, Lord, I need your help.
I wanna figure out what's going on.
And that afternoon, the Lord brings it back to my mind.
And He says, Hailey, the gate of fear
has been opened over Aidan's eye gate.
And He said, I want you to close the gate of fear
and I want you to open the gate of faith over his eyes.
Listen, I've never been taught this.
I'm like, okay.
And He takes me to Psalm 24,
lift up your head, O you gates,
that the King of glory may come in.
And then the Lord said to me,
and I'm sure I've heard Chris teach on this,
that fear and faith are belief in two different kingdoms.
Fear is a belief in the demonic realm.
Faith is a belief in the kingdom realm.
But same core, belief.
And so what I did was I did an activation
with my son that night.
Someone actually at school,
the prophets had shared something similar.
And so I tweaked it for him.
And I had him lie in bed and I said,
Aidan, I want you to close your eyes.
I want you to put your hand on that part of your tummy
that you feel the Holy Spirit in.
So he puts his hand on his tummy and he closes his eyes.
Now listen, I picked something
that I knew he would get right.
He says, I want you to close your eyes.
And with that gift that the Holy Spirit's given you,
I want to ask the Holy Spirit,
where is your sister in the room?
Now he had seen his sister in the room.
So that was easy.
He kind of waited and he pointed.
And I said, there it is.
Did you feel that though?
He said, yeah, I felt something.
I said, great.
I want you to close your eyes.
Now I want you to ask the Holy Spirit,
where is your little brother in our house?
And I made it a little bit more difficult,
but a little bit more tangible.
Like he knows his brother's there.
And as he's waiting, and he's waiting a long time,
you're like, oh Lord, help here, please.
His brother creeps in, his room's quite big,
into the end of his room.
And Aiden, all of a sudden, points.
And he opens his eyes and now he knows
he didn't just get it because he knew where his sister was.
Now he knows, I just heard from God.
And he's like, oh, I got it right, mom.
I said, you did, son.
I said, now I want you to close your eyes
and I want you to ask the Holy Spirit,
where is the angel in your room?
And I'd perceived an angel at the foot of his bed
and at his door.
And he's got his little hand on his tummy
and he's thinking, I can tell he's like,
really wanting to get this right.
And all of a sudden he shoots down at the foot of his bed.
And he opens his eyes, I'm like, Aiden,
there's an angel at your bed.
And all of a sudden my son, who was worried about feet,
is now going, are there angels in your room?
Are there angels around our house?
Mom, can we ask the angels to come?
And I'm like, buddy, yes, yes, and yes again.
He goes, what if there are a million angels in the world?
And all of a sudden his awareness of the angelic,
of the kingdom realm started to be magnified
over the fear of what he had seen.
So anyway, we're like, okay, that's beautiful.
So he prayed, he said, God, I thank You
that You send angels for us.
God, would You protect mommy and daddy?
He starts praying for angels for the family.
You know, he's just all into this now and all excited.
He goes to sleep and the next morning,
his dad, who sees in the Spirit,
sees that the angel's purple.
And he says, Aidan, what color's the angel?
And Aidan's not looking, he's like, of course it's white.
But he hasn't seen yet, he's only perceived it.
And then he looks over to the bottom of his bed,
he goes, oh, it's purple.
All of a sudden the seeing realm became open to my son
because I accessed his faith through a place
that God was already speaking to him.
There is a place in you that God is already speaking to.
And when you activate that through faith
and you connect to the Kingdom of God through faith,
and you begin to exercise that gift,
what it does is the faith increases
and it begins to activate your other senses.
My son now, I'll sit next to his bed
and sometimes the other day he was like, mom,
he saw the end of the...
He saw the end of COVID.
He saw the end of the government lifting
literally days before the government shifted all the rules.
And he's like, he's like, I see a belt like this,
but it's not a belt and it's connecting.
And he's like, I'm like,
and sometimes I'm like, he's prolonging this
so he doesn't want to go to bed.
You know, sometimes that happens too.
I just want to tell you that.
Supers, but you can tell when it goes from spiritual
to kind of like rabbit trails, totally.
But I want to tell you,
the Lord said to me after that moment,
He said, Haley, this is the church.
The gate of fear has been opened over their senses.
And I'm calling my prophets to close the gate of fear
and awaken my church to the promises of the kingdom.
This is what prophets do.
Can I tell you what's wild?
When you actually receive from a prophet,
you will receive the grace on their life.
If I, when I was in school of ministry
and I travelled with Chris,
the prophetic would be exponentially greater in my life
because I was under the grace of a prophet.
I want to tell you, if you're a prophet in this room,
do not discount the power of the grace on your life.
I'd have students tell me all the time
when they would do third year with me,
why am I so prophetic all of a sudden?
And I was like, oh, it's probably the grace.
It's not Haley.
It's not Haley Braun grace.
I just want to tell you that.
It's the grace that Jesus gave me as a free gift.
And we as prophets,
when we actually stand in the authority
of who we are called to,
we can awaken the senses of the church
to no longer be in fear of the assault of the enemy,
but to stand in faith
because we've seen a superior kingdom.
If in Revelation 4, John had to be invited up here,
John who was on the Mount of Transfiguration,
John who saw the miracle signs and wonders,
if John needed to be invited up,
how much more does the church need to be invited up?
Amen.
Okay, I'm gonna have to move this quickly.
I'm taking too long.
Prophets defend.
Elijah and the prophets of Baal.
Baal, as Americans said.
We say Baal, very South African.
David and Goliath.
Prophets defend the Lord.
You know, it's funny.
God doesn't, you know, it's funny.
I don't know if God needs a defender.
Just like sometimes I don't know if Chris needs a defender,
but I sure want to defend him sometimes.
Just like Bill doesn't probably need a defender,
but when people say things about Bill, you know what?
Makes me mad.
Do you know why?
Because that's my dad and I know him.
And what you're saying about him isn't true.
That's actually the true mark of a son and daughter
is when someone threatens your mom or your dad
or your family, you want to get in the way.
I tell you what, man, I don't, I'm really tender.
I cry really easy, but I got combat boots on.
When you threaten my family, I want to get in there.
I'm like, that's my dad.
And prophets defend God.
They actually walk in signs and wonders
that actually prove the existence of God.
Elijah, when the prophets of Baal were, you know,
cutting themselves and crying out
for fire to fall on the altars, Elijah stood there.
He really felt alone.
He was there by himself, but he defended God
and he stood in faith for God to show up.
Same thing with David.
What's Goliath doing?
He's taunting the Israelites.
He's speaking down to God and David says,
who are you to defy the God of the army of Israel?
Who are you?
I'm going to cut off your head
and I'm going to feed it to the dogs.
To the birds actually, I think it was, to the birds.
He called him a dog.
That's what Goliath called David, a dog.
You come at me with a stick.
David didn't care what Goliath called him.
David knew who his dad was.
Prophets defend.
They defend the defenseless.
They defend the nature of God,
which means we need to know the nature of God.
When we talk about old covenant and new covenant prophecy,
it is vital that we understand that God is good,
that He's coming after us, that He's pursuing us.
Final thing I want to say is prophets mobilise.
Are you guys doing okay?
I know I keep asking you that.
I've slowed my pace, can you tell?
I wrote this, prophets mobilise and prophets partner,
which I think are quite similar.
Prophets mobilise people to come together.
Prophets see what is to come
and they call people towards the vision.
For lack of vision, the people,
they go unrestrained.
Wouldn't you say people seem pretty unrestrained right now?
For a lack of vision, the people go unrestrained.
The prophets call attention to the signs and the times
and what is happening to mobilise the people
so that they can, you know what unrestrained rivers do?
Nothing.
They flow all over the place and accomplish nothing.
Nothing lives in them.
They dry up.
Rivers that have banks, that have vision,
that have truth, that have parenting,
they flow and have great purpose.
They create energy, they create life,
they are sustainable.
Prophets mobilize, they keep people on track.
You know, David, you're so wild.
I know I talked about Samuel.
You know, we have the season of judges,
people are totally unrestrained.
God raises up a prophet that wants to do
what is in his heart and in his soul.
That's what he does, he raises up Samuel.
Samuel calls out David.
Samuel is the one that protects David
when Saul's pursuing him.
And out of the ministry of this one prophet raised up
in a terrible time of Israel,
the king that Jesus is gonna flow from his lineage
is raised up in this time.
And you know, there's a time in 1 Chronicles
where David literally calls all the musicians
and there are 4,000 musicians.
4,000 musicians, skilled and anointed.
Because what happens when a prophet
rises in the midst of a people
is kings rise up and the anointed of God rise up.
And you know what happens?
Creativity starts happening.
You see, I believe the greatest reformation
that's gonna come out of the next move of God,
I believe we are in the third great awakening right now.
I had a dream with Jeremy Riddle right after my encounter
with the bowls and the oil,
and I could explain all of that.
You can watch Sunday night from two weeks ago
if you want to.
And Jeremy was playing this, it was like a heavenly melody
of sitting at a table with Chris and Ali Vallatin, actually,
sitting at a table and Jeremy said,
Haley, are you ready?
We're opening up to the third.
And I was like, what?
And then he started singing about opening up to the third.
We're opening up to the third.
And the minute I woke up, I heard third great awakening.
There is a great awakening that we are standing
in the beginning of, I believe.
And the Lord is raising up prophets
who will begin to declare the vision of God
to mobilise a people.
And I wanna tell you,
the Lord is mobilising Levites and musicians.
He's mobilising creative ones and innovators.
Can I tell you that I'm so tired of the creative industry
being given over to the enemy?
My kids watch iPad sometimes,
and I'm like, how much can I restrict?
I'm like, I'm just trying to make them do ABC games
because I'm like, the attitudes, the effects,
and I said to my husband in film and media,
I had a moment once with my husband while he was sleeping.
Listen, my husband wanted to get in film and media,
but I didn't know if he'd be any good.
I think I told you that and I was kind of really nervous.
He's actually really good at it, hallelujah.
But in this time where I was kind of concerned,
he was doing everything for free.
I didn't know if he was any good at it.
Maybe he just needed to get a job at like Walmart
or Best Buy, like be faithful.
I mean it, I was like, just be faithful,
work hard, climb a ladder.
I believe in working, I really do.
And I asked the Lord,
cause we were kind of like financially
just kind of living month to month,
coming out of school of ministry.
I wasn't sure if this was like a pipe dream
of a creative happening here.
And the Lord said to me, his middle name's Joseph.
And he said, Haley, I've raised them up
to be a Joseph to the Pharaoh of this generation.
And I said, Lord, what's that?
He said, it's media.
And I really believe that the Lord is raising up Joseph's
to the media mountain.
I believe that there are men and women
that God wants to give creative solutions
and innovative solutions as we seek the face of God,
as we look into His face,
as we open up the bride's eyes
to the things of the kingdom,
they're gonna capture things in the kingdom of God
and they're gonna release it on earth.
I have dreams about programming.
I wanna do programming about encounters
with the Lord for children.
That's what I wanna do.
I have dreams of like waking up our children
who maybe are not in Sunday school,
waking up to the reality that the kingdom is here
and the kingdom is now.
If you're a creative in this room,
we're gonna pray for you in just a second.
Do I have, is Dave here?
He's probably in the back hiding.
Dave, if you are here, could you come out on the keys?
That'd be great.
He wins.
I love Dave Funk.
Thanks, Dave.
You know, actually, as I said,
that I really believe this is prophetic.
Dave is not just a musician, he's an innovator.
Dave has got such a unique gift to hear sound
and he's really like technically, he's a technical genius.
You know, I think a lot of, I feel this in the room.
I'm a, so I'm a feeler, I manifest, I'm wild,
I woo, I talk about combat boots.
But you know, sometimes people in this room
who God speaks to their mind,
they can feel that they are missing
something of the Holy Spirit.
I feel that in the room right now.
And sometimes this wild expression of who I am,
people can feel like maybe I'm not that.
Can I tell you, my dad's not that.
My dad's a professor of mathematics.
He's an absolute genius.
Do you know how the Holy Spirit touched my dad?
Through equations.
He started giving my dad downloads
of mathematical equations at 5 a.m. in the morning
while he visited here in Reading at Bethel.
I remember my dad sitting over there in that room
when Randy Clark was talking about impartation.
And Randy said, just because you don't manifest
doesn't mean you're not receiving something.
And seeing tears run down my father's face,
who doesn't really cry very easily.
except in home alone when he sees his mom
at the Christmas tree.
And I look over at my dad,
who's not usually very vulnerable,
and he said, that means I can be part of this too.
I believe that there is a, in my vision that I had,
the lightnings of God was striking my eyes
to raise up a generation with the heavenly mind.
In 1 Corinthians 2, it talks about the mind of Christ.
I wanna speak over you innovators and creatives,
that you are called to release the mind of Christ,
that you're called to release what God sees.
You know that it's revival is the holiness of God,
but reformation is the mind and heart of God,
that we are to stir the fires of revival,
the holiness of God, to be pure in heart,
pure hands, hungry for his presence,
and to release his heart and mind
through reformation into the world.
We wanna be beautiful Marys and sanctified Marthas.
If you are married long enough at his feet,
you will get pregnant with his vision,
and you'll become a sanctified Martha
who isn't doing for identity,
but out of identity, you are responding.
We don't, listen, I am the one,
I love to be at Jesus' feet.
You can, when you're ready, Dave, you can stop playing.
If you're still figuring out, that's great.
I love to be at Jesus' feet.
In fact, can I tell you, post my encounter,
I think part of me had felt safer being at Jesus' feet.
It felt safer being there, do you know why?
Because it's vulnerable to step out.
It's vulnerable to be who you're called to be.
And this is the last thing I wanna say,
is prophets partner.
Prophets partner with the Lord,
but you know who also prophets partner with?
They prophesy with, they partner with God's anointed.
We all want to be special.
We all want to be chosen.
But there are moments in time where God will pick someone.
And sometimes it's your best friend
that you know all their failures and all their secrets.
And sometimes it's the person in church
that was the most shy or had a bad attitude three weeks ago,
and God all of a sudden lands on them.
But prophesy, prophets recognise the anointing
and they partner with it.
I bet you when Ben saw Lindsay for the first time,
that not everybody saw Lindsay the way Ben saw Lindsay.
But Ben's vision of the Lord in Lindsay's life
partnered with her and helped birth
and bring forth the promise of God.
Prophets, we're midwives.
We help birth what God has put inside of people.
We recognise and identify and we call it out.
And can I tell you, that's not sometimes a moment,
sometimes that's something where we get alongside someone
and we remind them, hey, you're made for this.
I got a prophetic word from Michael Koulianos in 2019.
He said, Haley, the fear of man has to die.
There is a rumble inside of you
that a generation needs to hear.
And he prayed for me and for three months, nothing happened
except every day, I stewarded,
God, I give you my shield of the fear of man,
if you will be my shield.
And I had a man called Dave Ward in my life,
who anytime I felt scared,
I would walk into his office and he'd say,
Haley Braun, fear of man has to die.
He was being a midwife to the birthing of an encounter
that would change my life.
You know, without Barnabas,
I'm not sure we have the New Testament.
Because Barnabas grabbed hold of Paul
and put courage in him.
We as prophets, we get to partner with God
and we get to partner with what God is doing
in other people's lives.
I wanna read something because I'm running out of time
and I wanna pray for you.
Just wanna remind you,
prophets partner, prophets mobilise,
prophets awaken, prophets seek,
prophets defend, prophets protect.
This is the last thing I wanna say,
as we talk about partnering with the Lord,
it takes courage to partner with God.
Because you know you and you know what you aren't.
But you know what?
God knows who He is.
And it's vulnerable to be who God called you to be.
I can't change me.
I might be able to change the colour of my hair.
Might be able to diet or lose weight.
But the truth is I'm Haley.
I cry when I feel God.
I shake, sometimes embarrassingly.
I'm still like a child at 35.
I'm super intense when God comes on me
and I'm fierce over people.
And I can't change that about me.
For so long I wanted to change my intensity.
I wanted to take away my fierceness,
but you know what?
God made me and He doesn't apologise for me.
I once asked God,
God, if I always had to be this vulnerable when I spoke,
I thought maybe it would just be like a six month season,
you know, of learning and growing.
And the Lord said to me,
no, Haley, you're my permission slip.
He said, if you can do it, they can do it.
Can I tell you something?
If I can do it, you can do it.
It takes courage to be you.
It takes courage to believe
that God could do something in you.
It takes courage to rise up and be a person of reformation.
It takes courage to give a prophetic Word.
It takes courage to reach out to your family.
It takes courage to stay in the industry
you've been in for 20 years that you don't enjoy
because God has called you there.
It takes courage to believe the words of God over your life.
And it takes courage to speak destiny into a people.
But we have a God of courage.
You know, I used to think vulnerability was bad.
Vulnerability is not good nor bad, it's just vulnerable.
I used to walk off stages like this
and feel so vulnerable.
And I used to think it was bad because it felt weak.
But you know what I started to realise?
It's just vulnerable.
It's just vulnerable to be the fullness of yourself
and to take God for His Word.
And I think that the Lord is inviting us as prophets
who wanna step into reformation
to say, it's okay if I'm vulnerable.
God, would You give me courage?
Would You give me courage to be all that I'm called to be?
Would You give me courage to champion the person beside me?
You know, some people rarely believe in themselves.
They need to learn to believe in others.
You know, sonners, that takes courage.
So I want you to take a moment real quick
and I just want you to ask the Holy Spirit,
where do I need courage?
Put your hand on your heart.
The fire of God is in this room.
He loves to anoint, He loves to commission,
He loves to touch, He loves to fill.
This is what He does best.
Come Holy Spirit.
Just say, God, where do I need courage?
Thanks, God.
And then I want you to say, Holy Spirit, fill me.
Holy Spirit, give me boldness.
Oh, I receive the gift of boldness.
Lord, oh no, no, let the fire come.
Right now, let the fire of God come.
Oh, sonners, that fire comes and it burns away excuses.
That's okay, I've got lots of them too.
Come Holy Spirit.
Burn me with the fire of Your love.
Come and consume.
God, if you want a life,
you have 500 and something right here, God.
I will not deny you a voice if you want a voice.
I will not deny you hands if you want hands.
I will not deny you feet if you want feet.
Here I am.
Come Holy Spirit.
Between you and God right now,
just begin to tell the Lord where you need Him.
Holy Spirit, you are welcome in this place.
Let Him come, let Him come, let Him come.
Oh, there's creatives in this room.
God is giving you revelation.
Oh, He's breaking off the feeling that you're discounted
because you don't manifest.
Oh, He loves the way you think.
He loves the way you dream.
Ooh, there's prophetic dancers here today.
He loves how you move.
Come Holy Spirit, come.
Come Holy Spirit, God, would You raise our prophets
in the tech world, God?
Innovators, prophetic innovators, God,
who seek Your face and know Your heart
to bring forth a revelation of Your kingdom.
Shodo, no, no, no, no, save.
Kede, de, de, de, defenders of the defenceless.
Would you mobilise, God?
Come Holy Spirit.
Shodo, as you receive, I wanna remind you
that this company of prophets
that Samuel was ministering with,
there probably weren't a lot of them,
enough to fit in a house,
but there were enough to make an atmosphere
that a demonic man would come under the anointing.
God, I pray for homes and houses.
I just wanna tell you,
do not despise the days of small beginnings,
for your home could become an atmosphere of heaven
that shifts a neighbourhood.
Open heavens, open heavens.
Kede, de, come Holy Spirit.
Come, come, come.
Yes, the wind of refreshment.
the wind of His Spirit.
God, right now I ask for the fire of revival
to begin to burn, God.
For the momentum of revival to carry prophetic reformers
into the world, God.
That they would burn with a holy fire
to bring reformation, God, to every sphere in society.
Lord, we take back the words.
We take back the words, God.
We ask for a prophetic and holy shift to happen
in our nation and in the nations of the world.
Where Your immense love would be poured out, God,
on the orphaned spirit, Lord.
Where Your immense love would be poured out
on the religious spirit, God.
And we could unify under one Spirit, You, Holy Spirit.
♪ I can't hold my love back from You ♪
♪ I've gotta sing, I've gotta sing it, sing my love ♪
Oh God, make us ones devoted to Your heart.
Thanks, God.
Why don't you all stand?
We're gonna pray for you.
If God is touching you, don't stand,
just stay right where you are.
But if you're able to, woo!
Thanks, Holy Spirit, woo!
Woo!
Indiana, Indiana, a well of revival
is being stirred in your midst.
Woo, there is a pastor from Indiana.
Is there a pastor from Indiana in this room?
Will you raise your hand?
Yes, right there, thanks God.
There's a well of revival being stirred in Indiana.
You are stirring the wells, your faithfulness,
the Lord's eyes are upon your faithfulness
and He is so pleased.
God, would You give her the kisses?
Would You give her the privilege of the kisses
of Your mouth for a congregation?
Thanks, Holy Spirit.
Why don't you just put your hands out in front of you?
Woo!
God, we receive the Holy Spirit of reformation.
The greatest reformer to ever walk the earth.
Woo, to ever grace this planet is You, Holy Spirit.
You reveal Jesus, You reveal the thoughts of the Father,
You are the breath, You are the river,
You are the fire, You are the oil.
God, I pray, God, for an outpouring.
God, I pray for an awakening
and a mobilisation of Your prophets, Lord.
I pray, Lord, by a holy and consecrating fire
that You would set us apart, God,
and that You would fill us with courage.
Fill us with the courage that You filled Peter with, God.
God, we need You.
God, we declare that we need You and we want You.
Let the power of Your Spirit propel us.
Just while you're standing, I wanna tell you,
sometimes if you wanna know where you're called to reform,
sometimes it's your frustration.
Your place of greatest frustration is a key
because it's your place of greatest passion
that you feel powerless in.
The place that you feel frustrated,
I often feel frustrated with customer service
because I rarely wanna serve people.
That's really because I'm born to serve the bride.
That's how I feel.
And so I get really frustrated
around the powerless places that I'm called to.
I wanna tell you,
I'm not called to United Customer Service, hallelujah.
But some of you, the place of your greatest frustration,
God wants to turn into intercession.
He wants it to turn into intercession
for you to get His heart, to receive His heart.
And from that place, He's gonna give you solutions.
Amen.
So God, would You help us identify
the realm of reformation that You're calling us into?
Would You mobilise us, God?
Would You activate us
and give us holy and divine strategies, God?
In Jesus' Name.
Amen.
Yeah, I'm a little drunk in the Holy Spirit, so.
Oh, well, I can hold my liquor really well.
So I'm like, whoa, that is, feels really good.
Oh, thank you, Jesus, for Haley Braun.
Amen.
What a treasure.
That was a rich outpouring.
Hey, we're gonna take a dinner break,
but I just wanna make you aware of two things.
Brave Co.

between five and seven, our whole dinner break.
And they have a new father's edition
of our testimony book available out there.
And it's incredible.
It's all about fathers.
It includes subject matters of things like masculinity,
raising children, sexuality, leadership,
all kinds of amazing stuff.
So please go check that out.
And then again, Chris and Kathy Vallotton
are gonna be doing their book signing
at six o'clock out here in the south lobby.
That's this lobby over here.
So Braveco's over here, five to seven,
and Chris and Kathy over here at six o'clock.
Make sure you go and get your book signed.
Bless you, enjoy your dinner.
We'll see you in a little bit.
