Hi.
What do you want to ask?
Are you doing okay?
What question would you like to ask?
Does that need to be reversed back?
I'm going to go back to my original question.
You can ask it again.
I'm going to go back to my original question.
Hey, welcome back, School of the Prophets.
I cannot believe this is our last night together.
I know, wah, wah.
But hey, this is only the beginning.
We're just getting started with what God is doing in our lives.
And this is going to be an acceleration, a launch pad for the new things of God.
And I really believe we are stepping into a new historical season where the glory of
God is going to be poured out like we've never seen before.
Where we'll actually be transformed, like the scripture says, we'll be transformed by
His glory with ever-increasing glory.
We're being transformed into His likeness, right?
The more we look like Him, the more we behold Him, something happens in that moment where
all of a sudden, we get the wisdom of heaven.
And wisdom, the wisdom of the ages, not just any wisdom, but the mind of Christ.
And when we have that level of intimacy, that level of wisdom, God can trust us with divine
power.
And I believe we're coming into a season where God is going to release His power through
us, through His sons and daughters, in a way the world desperately needs.
The world needs a power encounter with God.
How many of you want that?
How many of you are hungry for that?
Hey, it all begins in the face of God.
It all begins with our adoration, our worship of Him.
And there is something that we cannot ever exchange, and that's the worship of God.
It is my number one calibrator in my heart.
It's the number one calibrator in my mind, is beholding His face and worshiping Him and
lifting glory to Him.
I want to challenge us tonight, whether you're joining us online, all of our Brazilians,
we love you.
And Brazilians, listen, when they worship, they know how to get down.
They know how to dance.
They know how to move.
I'm just laying down a little bit of a challenge for those of you in the room.
The onliners there at home, no one's watching, but what if no one was watching you?
Brian Johnson likes to say this, I worship for an audience of one.
What if you were just worshiping for an audience of one?
I want us to give all to God tonight from the very beginning.
Don't wait till the end where you warmed up.
Come on.
We already warmed, Haley Braun, she warmed you up already.
Yeah, let's just begin to worship Him, celebrate Him.
Come on, before any lyrics, you put lyrics on your mouth.
MUSIC

Okay, I want you guys to keep playing.
Recently, there was an incredible loss that I was dealt, and I was processing it with
the Lord, and I felt like the Lord was telling me, like, I was asking the Lord, like, Lord,
who do you want to be for me in this time?
And the Lord said, I'm going to teach you how to take back what the enemy has stolen.
And I actually feel like that's a word for us.
Even with this prophetic reformers, this, this theme, it's like, we've been talking
a lot about the culture and what's been happening this generation and what the, what the enemy
has been stealing.
And you know what?
You know, God even left some of the enemies in the promised land so that they would learn
how to fight.
And I feel like the Lord is wanting to remind us that we're warriors in the kingdom of God
and that he's teaching us how to take back what the enemy has stolen.
But I want to give you a key.
This is the key.
It's found in Psalm 149.
Praise the Lord.
Sing to the Lord a new song.
His praise and the assembly of his faithful people.
Let Israel rejoice in their maker.
Let the people of Zion be glad in their king.
Let them praise his name with dancing and make music to him with timbrel and heart.
For the Lord takes delight in his people.
He crowns the humble with victory.
And here it is.
May the praise of God be in their mouths and a double edged sword in their hands.
I raise a hallelujah.
Come on, come on, oh, come on, let the high praises of God be in your heart.
Let the high praises of God be in our mouth.
Come on, some of you need to dance tonight.
Come on, some of you need to dance.
Come on, come on, shake it off.
Yeah.
Sing, raise a hallelujah.
Oh, oh, oh, yeah.
I put on all my happiness and I put on your garment of grace.
You turn my morning into dancing.
You turn my night into day.
I put on all my happiness and I put on your garment of grace.
You turn my morning into dancing.
You turn my night into day.
I raise a hallelujah.
Your high praise in my mouth.
I raise a hallelujah.
Oh, we raise a hallelujah.
High praises of God in my mouth.
Ooh.
Sing it.
Hey.
So we don't just sing songs, guys.
We're sending songs.
Do you understand that?
As we are worshiping the Lord, he's displacing the enemy on your behalf.
Let the high praises of God be in your mouth.
Worship should never be our last option.
It's always our first.
Father, we love you.
Father, I thank you for this amazing week, Father.
This time that we've got to spend in worship with you.
Pouring out our love at your feet.
Being delighted by you, Father.
Lifting up your name.
Father, we love you.
This is all for you.
God, I just pray, Lord, that even as this week, all these people have just come,
both in person and online, Father, and they have just poured themselves into you.
Father, that you would multiply and return to them, Father.
That they would be refreshed in spirit, soul, body, Father God.
That they would go home, Father, with the spoils of war to their families,
to their workplaces, to their ministries, to their regions, to their cities,
Father, and to their nations.
We raise a hallelujah.
In Jesus' name, amen.
Amen.
You guys can make your way back to your seats.
Go ahead and love on someone on the way back.
All right, you guys, as you're making your way back to your seats,
we're going to show you a quick video.
So we want to make sure you guys are not in the dark.
So if you guys could...
Woo!
Yes, Lord.
All right.
Can you guys believe it's already our last night?
Hey, can we just thank the worship team one more time?
They were amazing.
Thank you, guys.
They were so, just so sensitive to the Holy Spirit and to leading us.
All right, you guys.
Well, we just wanted to show you a quick video.
And so if you guys could turn your attention to the screens, here we go.
Our nation is facing one of the most challenging seasons in history.
Addiction, incarceration, homelessness, suicide, poverty, the list goes on and on.
All side effects of the American family and crisis.
For the past few decades, we've witnessed men's movements
that have had a significant impact on the generation.
And although all of these movements have helped,
the fact remains that we are a country in crisis.
But there's hope.
If we restore fatherhood, we restore the family.
And if we restore the family, we restore the nation.
This work cannot be accomplished by a single man or even an individual
organization.
The way forward is to band together as men in a way that transcends
denominational lines and bridges the generational gaps.
This is our mission, our passion and our vision at Braveco.
Braveco is a men's movement focused on discipleship, restoration and wholeness.
Braveco is building a global men's community
that champions masculinity and models nobility.
It's a place for men to get well, get trained and give back.
Well, I want to invite you into a partnership with Braveco.
I want to tell you a little bit about
Braveco. It's our it's basically, you know, think promise keepers on steroids.
And I want to give you a few statistics.
In 1950, less than five percent of all children in America were born out of
wedlock. And I want to tell you a little bit about that.
In 1950, less than five percent of all children in America were born out of
wedlock. But by by 2017, that number rose to 51 percent of all children in
America. Fifty one percent of all children in America are born out of
wedlock. What happens when you take fathers out of a home?
Well, let me give you a few statistics.
And this isn't to depress you, but to show you how great the need is.
So 90 percent of all inmates in America are men.
Seventy five percent of all those inmates grew up without a father.
Sixty three percent of all youth suicides are from fatherless homes.
That's five times the national.
That's five times the average.
Ninety percent of all homeless and runaway children are from fatherless
homes. You're 32 times more likely to run away if you don't have a dad at home.
Eighty five percent of all children who show behavior disorders come from
fatherless homes. That includes shootings.
You're 20 times more likely to be involved in a shooting if you're from a
fatherless home. Eighty five percent of all children.
I'm sorry. Eighty percent of all rapes, rapists come from fatherless homes.
You're 14 times more likely to rape a woman if you come from a fatherless home.
Seventy one percent of all high school dropouts come from fatherless homes.
That's nine times the average.
And what I'm getting at is that we're often we're often asked to cure symptoms.
And I'd like to propose abortion, homosexuality, transgenderism.
Those things are all being fed by fatherlessness in our countries.
And it's not just in America.
It's all over the world.
And and so, you know, when I I had this vision, you may have heard about it, but
this is probably three years ago.
We were in a prayer meeting.
We have a Thursday morning prayer meeting that's dedicated just to government and
the world. So it's very scripted.
And we pray for our government.
We pray for our government leaders and we pray for these kind of things.
And in the midst of that, I one of the things that one of the guys had planned
for the day is that we would pray into Malachi four, which is in the last days.
I'm going to send Elijah, the prophet, Elijah, the prophet, and he's going to
restore the hearts of fathers to sons and daughters and hearts of sons and daughters
to fathers. And so we were praying into that.
And I suddenly had a vivid vision and in the vision I saw men leaving their homes
like, you know how weird visions are.
I'm with the prophetic people, so this probably needs no explanation.
I'm used to normal people having to talk to normal people.
That was a joke. Anyway, I saw men coming out of their homes.
It was kind of like I was seeing them from a camera like drone camera.
And first there was just a few and they were they were coming out onto the road and
they were all.
all heading towards a certain place, like one direction.
And their heads were hung low,
their clothes were tattered, and you get the idea.
And pretty soon it was 10, and then 20.
And then as the vision continued,
there was hundreds, and then thousands.
And finally they were filling the streets and the highways
with men all heading towards this one location.
And then in the vision, I was able to see
that they were all heading towards this large stadium.
And so I was, now I got to see into the stadium,
and when I got close to the stadium,
I could hear a voice in there, in the stadium,
over the PA saying, men, welcome to your manhood.
And when I got close to the stadium,
I realized it was my son, Jason.
And he was calling men
into their manhood.
And as the men came into the stadium,
you know how weird visions are,
suddenly their clothes were changed,
their countenance changed,
and they were joining hands in worship
and learning how to be men.
And while I was in the vision,
I've never done this before,
because they don't typically interrupt the vision,
but while I was in the vision, it was so intense,
I thought, I'm going to text my son
while I'm in this moment.
So I picked up my phone and I texted him,
and as closely as I could,
I was describing what I was,
this intense vision I was in.
I said, I saw you calling men in stadiums back to manhood.
And my son, who rarely texts back for days,
which we've had so many conversations,
he texted me right back and he said,
Dad, I had that vision six months ago.
I was in stadiums calling men back to manhood.
Anyway, that was the beginning,
that was the catalyst to this whole movement
called Brave Co.
And so this last year,
we developed a platform, online platform,
because you can fill men in stadiums.
You know, the Promise Keepers movement,
by the way, was beautiful.
I was so glad to be a part of it.
But it lacked true, ongoing discipleship.
It lacked tools for men to actually get well.
So it was a great exhortation for men.
It was a great clarion call back to manhood.
There was some really great things about it,
by the way, we've met with the Promise Keepers leaders,
but it lacked, it actually lacked the practical ability
to actually disciple men on any kind of a regular basis.
So we just began to plan and said,
before we fill stadiums with men, which is all great,
we've got to have some way that these men can be captured
in discipleship and mentored back to fatherhood.
How many understand it takes a woman
to give birth to a boy,
but it takes a man to give birth to a man.
And so we just started to dream what could it look like.
This is much like the, you know,
prophetic word that we had for immigrants.
It's like, let's not just have a word,
let's do something about it and change history.
And so we began to dream about it.
My son leading with many of our team
and he's got a great team around him.
And, you know, and we just began to dream,
how can we train and equip men?
So this year, just in our pilot program,
we had 500 men online every week,
which is, it was growing just in a pilot program.
Okay, let's make sure before we open the door to thousands
that we actually can do it with a few.
And the feedback has been amazing.
The, you know, the attrition rate,
normally when you have, you know, you do anything online
and you start out with a thousand people
and by the end of the year, you have, you know,
you're lucky if you have three or 400.
I think the attrition rate has been like three or 4%.
Like these men are connected.
They meet every week.
They're going through, we developed this whole program.
It's first like get well, get tools,
and now transform your home.
And now we just finished this whole leadership course
that we're launching this next month.
We're super excited about it.
Because once you get well, now you need tools.
So how many of you know that men are supposed to provide,
promote and protect their families?
And we're teaching men how to be men.
And I would really like to invite you
to give to this ministry.
It's a startup and, you know,
we have lots of business people here
and lots of people who've started ministries themselves.
And you know, the first two years of ministries are tough
because you got, you need staff,
you need the right people,
and you also need money to finance it before the ecosystem.
starts to rebuild itself.
So Kathy and I, I just, you know, I just say this,
like we gave 20,000 last month to it.
We've given much money to it.
We believe, I'm trying to tell you, we believe in it.
I would never ask you to help fund something
that I didn't personally believe in.
And so I wanna ask you if you would pray.
It is a prophetic movement.
I felt like it was appropriate.
Like we have a hundred things Bethel's doing
that we could come up in every session,
and we could give you something
that you could be passionate about.
But I felt specifically that we were to do two things.
We were to ask for help with the Apostolic Center,
because it directly relates to training and equipping
prophets, and we've had this prophetic word
about being an eagle's nest.
And secondly, I felt that we were to ask for help
with this prophetic movement of the restoration
of the Malachi mandate.
And so if you would pray right now,
those online could do the same.
And yeah, good, you got the, you know how to do that
with the QR code, and just ask the Lord
if you're supposed to do something.
And anything helps right now.
It's that kind of movement.
Like anything helps right now.
And you know, so if you could help us, that's great.
By the way, you know this.
Like if you don't give, there's no pressure.
There's no pressure at all.
But we do need your help.
So if it's in your heart, if the Lord puts it in your heart,
if it's $5, $5,000, or $5 million,
we'd really like the $5 million better.
I just want you to know, $5 million,
I'd give you a ride in my Corvette.
$5 million, I'd give you my Corvette, actually,
now that I think about it.
Now on a serious note, I mean, anything helps.
And we always say in our movement,
it's not equal giving, but it is equal sacrifice.
So Father, we just thank you.
We thank you for this community of prophets,
prophetesses and prophetic people who have gathered,
really Lord, just to learn and grow together today
and this week, and we've become, we're becoming a community.
Lord, I pray that you would speak to them
on behalf of this movement,
of whether or not this is a place that you've assigned
your resources from their hands to be given.
And Lord, I pray that you'd be specific with them
about not just whether or not they should give,
but what it should be.
And I bless them.
I bless every one of them, God, whether or not they give.
And I bless them that Lord, as we give,
they would be pressed down, shaken together, run out,
that nobody would give in a way that would keep them
from prospering themselves, in Jesus' name.
I think we have ushers too, right?
Do we?
Yes, no?
Oh, we do, okay, yes.
The ushers could come.
And here's a Braveco book.
This is a, we put together this book.
I say we, I did nothing.
They handed it to me and I'm like,
oh yeah, we have that, that's awesome.
And it's a story about several of our fathers,
of those 500 men.
We chose about 50 of them to tell some of their stories
in one page at a time, one page with a picture of them
and their families.
So who would like this?
Would somebody like this?
Awesome.
Ben, could you?
Yeah, would you give that to some man right here?
Awesome.
I asked you in the beginning,
but how many of you, you have, let me start with this.
How many of you have never been to Bethel before?
You've never been to Bethel?
Leave your hands up for a second.
Okay, let me ask it the other way.
How many of you have been to Bethel before,
raise your hands.
Okay, it's kind of funny.
If you're standing up here, it looks like
no one's been to Bethel.
Then when you ask the question the other way,
it's like everybody's been to Bethel.
I'd say 50% of you, 60% have never been.
How many of you have never been
to a school of the prophets before?
Okay, that's 80% of the room.
Okay, how many of you have, you got,
and honesty would be great right now.
How many of you got more than you came for?
I'm not gonna ask you the other way around
because then we'll all stare at you.
Hey, we could do this.
We could ask it the other way around
and we could all like shame them.
We could shame them.
That'd be cool.
You know, we've done this for a lot of years.
I thought this time was incredible.
Obviously, we still have a half day tomorrow,
so we, and we have Dano tonight,
so that's gonna be amazing.
But I wanna tell you, I wanna apologize a little bit.
You know, I was distant the first couple of days,
just as you know, I was not feeling good,
didn't wanna spread the joy,
but I have really enjoyed this a lot with you guys.
And even.
You know, the first days, a couple days for me,
were a little distant.
I feel really connected to you guys.
And just really love, I loved Haley today.
I thought it was, she did a beautiful job.
And tonight, the last inspirational night,
we call these inspirational nights, by the way,
Dano is gonna come and he's gonna kind of,
he's gonna finish the nights for us.
So would you just welcome him, please?
Thanks.
There we go.
Drink that one, talk in this one.
Okay, did you see that?
Did you love Kris' Bob Jones stories last night?
You know what, I never met Bob Jones
and I was never in a meeting that he was in.
I know, isn't that weird how we never connected?
But 10 years ago, I was teaching
in the Peter Wagner Institute in South Korea
and I was staying at Peter Wagner's house
and I had a panic attack and I'd never had one before.
I had this anxiety attack and it was freaking me out.
And I knew that I was doing five meetings a day
for five days and then every meal,
they bring in people for you to prophesy over.
I mean, they work you like a rented mule,
you know what I mean?
And I was having this anxiety attack
and so I had brought a businessman
who was an intercessor with me
and so he was in another room,
so I walked to the part of the house that he was in
and I was gonna tell him, man, pray for me,
I am under attack and when I walked into the room,
he was watching a video on his laptop of Bob Jones
and Bob Jones, when I walked in the room,
he goes, yeah, some of you are suffering
with a panic attack.
And I'm like, uh-huh, uh-huh, that's me.
And he goes, and it's not really you,
it's a fiery dart of fear.
And he said, and I'm gonna pull them darts of fear
out right now and he's like, raise your hand
if that's you and I'm like, raise my hand.
This was filmed like five or six years ago.
You know, like five or six years before my situation,
but I walk in and he's ministering to me
in that moment by video, anachronistically,
and he grabs the arrow, he pulls it out
and I'm totally set free.
So that's my Bob Jones story.
That's fun, huh?
Chris is like, yep, yep, told you, yep.
Hey, I have a couple other resources
just to make you aware of and to give away real quick here.
This is my Finding Lost Things book and I love this.
I took stories from all over the world
of how people use the supernatural
to find something that was lost and through that,
we came up with about 18 connection points
in the spirit of things you can use
to find lost and missing things
and they go from super practical to super weird.
And is anybody in here called to start a finders group?
Like you feel that call or you're actually active
in that right now?
I see a couple hands over there.
Yeah, I think maybe right in the middle right here.
Yeah, right?
Yeah, you, come on up.
Yeah.
Ha, ha.
I'm gonna give you this book
and then I'm gonna have Kay pray over you.
Where's Kay at?
Kay, come on up here.
Kay is the director of finders.
She's the one who really put all this together.
So I just give my Shabbat in Jesus name
and here's the book and then Kay's gonna pray over you.
Thanks so much.
Hey, we have some USB drives back there
and I just wanna show you something, okay?
They're like these little credit card things
and you push here to open it.
Everybody go, ooh,
because so many people buy these and then email me and go,
I don't know how to open that little thing.
All right, push here, okay?
If you get really frustrated,
just rip it off and stick it in your computer.
It'll work fine.
Okay, but there's a bunch of audio teachings on this one.
This one is called Wisdom for Weird
and Wonderful God Encounters, all right?
This is my mystic teaching about out-of-body experiences,
about interactions with.
nature and creation, about interacting with the great cloud of witnesses. Yeah, you must
really need it because a bunch of people are pointing at you. So come on, come on up here.
They're really wanting you to get the wisdom for your weird.
Grab a hold of that. Let's pray together. Father, I just thank you.
Ah, shabba. And that will do. Yes, amen.
I know. I'm with ya. He's like, that was real. That was real. I'm like, yeah, I know.
Oh, this is my favorite. This is my favorite book that I've written is the good fight,
prophetic processing workbook. This actually took me 10 years to write this book.
Some of the other ones came together really quickly, but it was so important to me that
I got this right. And to tell you the truth, you can't even really do this book in a year.
It takes a couple years to go through it, but it is what to do with all of your prophetic words.
You know what? I had all my prophetic words in a notebook. I had 54 prophetic words that I had a
high value for that. I had that Regina and I had typed out. I walked around with that folder. I
would pray them. I would declare them. And in 10 years, none of those came true.
And then I learned some of these principles and within just a couple years, the majority of them,
if not all of them had come true. And I want you to know that as we often say,
sorry, for those of you that are online, I just want to say there,
they're really distracting me with their desire for these books is people waving things, waving people.
Um, but anyway,
there are some absolute keys to mobilize your prophetic words. I actually believe that you can
speed up the arrival of a prophetic promise. Remember how Mary Jesus said, Hey, what do you
want me to do? It's not yet my time. And she said, do whatever he says. He said, it's not time. And
she said, do it anyway, kind of thing. And she actually pulled on a future grace and pulled it
into her present. And, uh, I want to start seeing an acceleration, you know, on people's lives and
on the words they said, what just go. You were sent and yeah. Okay. Well, there you go, man.
Bless you. Bless you. Father. We do just pray. Hallelujah. I just see the Lord actually bring
an alignment to your times and seasons. And it hasn't been about the words. It hasn't been about
the identity. It's been about the times and seasons and getting the right word in the right
season and the right place. And the Lord's bringing that all into divine order now in Jesus name. So
thank you, father. Shabba. Bless you. Bless you. Good to meet you. So check those out.
I think they're giving some stuff away online too. Hey, let me say that, uh, I know the, uh,
the website went down. Okay. Uh, with the free book on it. So let me just tell you another
location you can get it at. Okay. The free book you can get what you can get it now.
It's there. Are you sure? Okay. All right. But you can, you can go to prophetic company.com and
there's a place that you can click on it to get that free digital book for, uh, what is it?
Bending time and the book club with my wife, Regina and Emery right here.
Emery you stand up to Regina stand up. Yeah.
So check that out. It's, it's totally free and we'd love to just sew that into you.
Okay. Tonight I want to continue on our, uh, prophetic reformers message. And I want to share
some stories with you tonight. I I'll share some word as well, but I want to share some stories
that I think will help because one of the things that I'm running into as we are calling forth the
prophetic reformers of our generation is that people are missing their own prophetic call
because it doesn't look like what a prophet has looked like in their
lifetime, or in my lifetime, and that's good. I'm so glad that it looks
different, you know, but what does that look like? You know, Chris talked
about it last night, about the architects, the builders, the Kairos conductors that
know the times and seasons and what to do, the solutionaries with ideas and
insights, answers to specific problems, the futurists that have predictions and
preemptive innovation, and those are keys to this whole realm. But again,
many reformers in the Bible had a who-me perspective. Like, who me? Like, are you
sure? Which was totally my experience, okay? I don't know if you guys have heard
the story or not yet, but my first prophetic call, the Lord said, Dano,
you're gonna change the sound of worship in nations. Your sons and daughters will
be the leading edge of revival movements, and you're gonna restore the Levitical
priesthood of the Tabernacle of David. And so there were some really big words,
and I'm like, I don't even know where to begin with that, and I started bargaining
with God. I'm like, God, that's gonna take a lot of money. I don't have a lot of
money. That's gonna take, you know, a lot of education, a lot of fame. Nobody knows
who I am. And I literally was naming people. I was like, what's Don Mohan doing?
What's Michael Smith doing, you know? And the Lord said this. I'm not kidding.
He said, but Dano, if I use them, everybody will think that they did it.
But if I use you, everyone will know that I did it. I'm not kidding.
That's what he said. I'm like, Lord, put your hand on your head and see if that's...
No, I'm just kidding. But, you know, the Lord calls Moses to be a deliverer,
and he had a who me. He had a who me moment. He's like, really? I don't speak
well. I'm not powerful. I'm not... And yet the book of Acts later said that Moses
was a man who was powerful in both speech and action. So he didn't see
himself the way that God saw him. Gideon said, I'm the least, man. I mean, he
finally has an angel encounter. And it's so funny because Gideon complains, like,
where are all the miracles? I'm like, dude, you're talking to an angel. Like,
McFly, hello, you know. But then he argues with the angel, like, I'm the least. I'm
nobody. Why would you choose me? Saul hides among the baggage. He hides
among the luggage, you know. Like, when he's first called, he's hiding out. And
then the 12 disciples, I mean, these are the most unlikely guys, and oftentimes
they're manifesting more like the 12 stooges. I don't know if you've noticed
that. Like, they really say and do some not wise things. And I love that
verse. This is, because you might feel the same way. I know that I did. But this verse
really gave me comfort. In 1 Corinthians 1, 26 and 27, this has been a
foundational verse for me as a prophetic reformer. And that is, it says, brothers
and sisters, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were
wise by human standards. Not many were influential. Not many were of noble
birth. But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise. God chose
the weak things of the world to shame the strong. And God chose the lowly
things of this world and the despised things and the things that are not to
nullify the things that are so that no one may boast before him. Ha! You know,
all the things that you think disqualify you are the things God loves about you.
Like, the things like, Lord, I'm totally not qualified. And it's like, oh yeah,
that's gonna look good on me. Like, that's gonna look really good on me. I mean, I
teach in Bible colleges all the time, and I'm like, I wonder if they
know that I dropped out of Bible college to play in a rock band. Like, you
know, it's in my bio, you know. But I love the last verse in verse 30 here. It says,
it is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us
wisdom from God. That is, our righteousness, holiness, and redemption.
You know...
you just got to keep remembering
when it comes to this prophetic reformer,
it's not really about you, it's about him.
And he calls things that are unlikely.
He calls things that are improbable and impossible.
And again, please don't settle for an explainable life.
Part of your testimony is being able to do something
that everybody knows that couldn't have been you.
So again, I think one of the main reasons
for the problem of not accepting the call
is like this vanilla view of prophets,
one-dimensional imprint of what a prophet looks like.
But prophets give and receive spiritual information
in very different ways.
Some did it through speaking and teaching,
but others did it through writing.
I mean, we wouldn't have the Bible
if prophecy wasn't written down, you know?
27% of the Bible is specifically prophetic words.
Others were prophetic prayer warriors.
Others were doing prophetic acts.
And I think that a revelatory understanding
of the diversity of receiving and giving
liberates us to accept the call as a prophetic reformer.
And so I wanna share a few things
from history with you really quickly.
We have a 10-month mentorship.
We'll tell you more about tomorrow,
but we do 10 months of training
in the 12 primary receptors,
the external, the internal, and the mystical realm
of seeing, hearing, sensing, and feeling.
We do a second round of it
in actually ways to deliver a prophetic word,
which covers prophetic acts, prophetic intercession,
prophetic arts and innovation, prophetic giving,
prophetic writing, all these different things.
And so we're centering in on some of these focuses,
but I'd like to try to assemble some of these pieces
to show you what they can look like practically
in a prophetic reformer,
as well as hopefully share a little bit
of my story with you.
You know, one of my favorite prophetic reformers
was a guy named George Washington Carver.
How many have ever heard of this guy?
And what I love about him is he was a prophetic innovator.
He wasn't a preacher.
He wasn't a teacher.
He wasn't a declaration prophet.
He was an innovation prophet.
And he brought reform.
Now, he was born in 1864,
right at the end of the Civil War.
He was born to the parents of slaves.
So, I mean, think about that.
And he was in this system coming out of slavery
and coming into sharecropping and things like that.
And he is considered an American agricultural scientist
and inventor who promoted alternative crops to cotton
and methods to prevent soil depletion.
He was the most prominent black man scientist
of the 20th century.
Socialreformers.com says that George Washington Carver
did not just advocate for reform
and leave it in the hands of others to implement.
He took actions with his own hands
to ensure that reform happened.
As a social reformer, his actions fulfilled his desire
to lift poor black and white farmers out of poverty.
Many were sharecroppers who were caught
in a seemingly endless cycle of debt and poverty.
As the 20th century approached,
the monoculture of cotton depleted the soil of the South,
where 90% of blacks lived and worked in the United States.
Cotton farming had exhausted the nutrients of the soil
and the average yield of cotton from a planted field
was diminishing at an alarming rate.
Not only that, with the release of the slaves,
they didn't have the workers to bring forth the cotton
and so the economy of the South was tanking
and he had this heart for the poor sharecroppers,
both black and white, to get them out of a cycle of poverty.
So Carver promotes the idea of crop rotation
to enrich the soil.
He convinced farmers to plant a variety of crops
to not only enrich the soil,
but to plant as cash crops as well,
consequently, the more and more farmers planted soybeans,
pecans, sweet potatoes, black-eyed peas.
and most importantly, peanuts.
The more and more farmers climbed out of debt
and out of poverty.
He is most famous for discovering 300 uses for the peanut
that grew wild at the time on the sides of the road
and was largely considered cattle feed by farmers.
He not only taught about nutrition
and inexpensive meal planning,
but he taught about all the food that could be made
from a peanut and he taught the same could be done
with pecans, sweet potatoes, black-eyed peas,
staples that were also underappreciated by most farmers.
He was buried next to Booker T. Washington
and on his tombstone was written,
he could have added fortune to fame,
but caring for neither, he found happiness and honor
in being helpful to the world.
What an epitaph.
He could have added fortune to fame,
but caring for neither, he found happiness and honor
in being helpful to the world.
What I wanna share with you right now
about George Washington Carver,
and I only found out at Christmas this year
that my grandma knew him.
I just found out, my mom told me.
So my grandmother who was born in 1898 and died in 1898
and died in 2002, so she lived through three centuries.
She, her great uncle was Tama Jim Wilson
who is the longest in office cabinet member,
presidential cabinet member in American's history
as the director of agriculture.
And he was the teacher of George Washington Carver
at Iowa State University.
And he used to come over to my grandma's house
and he would always bring silver dollars with him.
And my grandma had this collection of silver dollars
that George Washington Carver had given.
And I just found that out a few months ago.
So I've been enamored by this guy for years
and did not know that he was like connected to my heritage.
It was really, really cool.
But what I love is here's an external seer.
George Washington Carver was an external seer.
In other words, he was getting his revelation from creation.
I'm gonna give you some of his quotes.
Listen to what he did.
Now his impact upon America is incredible.
Like what he taught was absolutely revolutionary.
And ultimately I want you to think of this reformer
because he actually saved the economy of the government
that had enslaved his own family.
What kind of redemptive understanding do you have to have
to save the system that was enslaving your own family?
But here's some of his quotes and I love this.
He said, reading about nature is fine,
but if a person walks in the woods and listens carefully,
he can learn more than what is in books
for they speak with the very voice of God.
I love to think of nature
as an unlimited broadcasting station
through which God speaks to us every hour
if we will only tune in.
He said, when I was young, I said to God,
God, tell me the mysteries of the universe.
But God answered, that knowledge is for me alone.
So I said, God, tell me the mystery of the peanut.
And then God said, well, George, that more nearly,
that's more nearly your size.
And he told me the secrets of the peanut.
This might be my favorite right here.
He said, anything will give up its secrets
if you love it enough.
He said, not only have I found
that when I talk to the little flower
or to the little peanut, they will give up their secrets.
But I have found that when I silently commune with people,
they will give up their secrets also
if I will only love them enough.
We learned that one of the ways
to increase your spiritual intelligence,
your supernatural intelligence, is to build a love bridge.
To build a love bridge.
Love is the bridge through which spiritual exchange happens,
through which information is transferred.
And George Washington Carver knew
how to love creation on God's frequency.
And so got some of the most incredible revelation
in the area of agriculture that literally made.
him a prophetic reformer. And I just want to say that not all
prophetic reformers will be speaking. We'll be at a pulpit
will be in a church will even give what is considered
prophecies. But some will unlock the mysteries of agriculture,
unlock the mysteries of science, unlock the mysteries of mental
health, unlock the mysteries of carrying diseases, and they're
going to receive it by actually studying what God is saying
through creation. Again, in Romans chapter one, it's been
quoted a lot this week. But in 1920, since the creation of the
world, God's invisible attributes and divine nature
have been clearly seen being understood through what has been
made, so that all men are without excuse. What does that
mean? It means that God has encoded all of creation with
everything that can be known about him. And so here is a
prophetic reformer that cracked the code on what could be known
about this part of creation, and literally changed the economy
of his generation and broke the poverty slavery cycle of the
sharecroppers. I just, there's people in the room, you don't,
you don't feel like giving people words or, or teaching on
prophecy is your thing. I want you to know, there is much room
for you still in this prophetic reformation. Here's another one
that I want to share with you. Prophetic intercession. There
was an internal hearer born in 1879, who just died in 1950,
named Rees Howells. How many have ever heard of Rees Howells?
Rees Howells intercessor, a book written by Norman Grubb in the
Christian literature crusade captures this incredible life of
this prophetic intercessor. Rees Howells shaped the outcome of
history through prophetic acts and intercession. Their prayers
included the crisis during Hitler's time in Ethiopia,
Dunkirk at the Battle of Britain D-Day, and even the
establishment of the State of Israel, what would happen is
before battles were happening, they were seeing them in the
spirit and changing the outcome through intercession and
prophetic acts. And there are, there are battles to this day in
that war that people cannot figure out how the Allied Powers
won. It does not make sense. There had to be something else
going on. And there was Rees Howells intercessor. He said, I
wanted to know that the Holy Spirit was stronger than the
devil in the Nazi system. He said, this is the battle of the
ages and victory here means victory for millions of people.
Not a popular preacher. He had a little Bible school, but it was
pretty humble. And, and really all he taught, he taught his
people prophetic intercession and they changed the course.
They changed the course of history. Some of my favorite
prayer quotes, AJ Gordon, you can do more than pray after you
have prayed, but you can never do more than pray until you
prayed. You can do more than pray after you prayed, but you
can never do more than prayer until you prayed. John Wesley
said, God does nothing except in response to believing prayer. He
said, one should never initiate what he cannot saturate. One
should never initiate what he cannot saturate with prayer.
EM bounds said this, EM bounds was this weird little man way
ahead of his time. He wrote 54 books on prayer and he walked
around to every publisher in his nation and no one would take him
seriously. And now the complete works of EM bounds on prayer is
considered the greatest classic on prayer in our history. But he
was just so far ahead of his generation. Nobody understood.
And EM bounds.
said this, God shapes the world by prayer. The more prayer there is, the better the world is
and the better the world will be.
Prophetic intercession, you know some of the greatest prophetic reformers,
we won't know until we get to heaven. We won't even realize until we get to heaven. When I
uh started to receive this call to the nations, I asked the Lord, um Lord what should I do?
And he said, I won't send you to any nation that you haven't prayed for.
And uh so I went out, I was a honestly, I was kind of a poor youth pastor worship leader at the time
and uh I went out and I bought this $75 pictorial atlas of the world,
back when there were bookstores. Remember the bookstores, some of you? And uh and I bought
this big pictorial atlas because it had maps and pictures and talked about the culture and
and talked about the languages and the economy and I wanted to learn about these nations of
the world. And so every day I would open my giant book and I would study about Azerbaijan. I didn't
even know that was a place, you know what I mean? And I would, I would look at these different
places and I would put my hand on the map and I would say, okay now if I was standing in front of
this nation today, what would I pray? What would I prophesy? And I began to learn to prophesy into
the destiny of nations just from my bedroom. And and for the next couple years, I went around the
world many times until I'd prayed for every country. And and and after a couple years,
the invitations that came in from around the world, I literally could not keep up
with all the places that were inviting me to come. But there was a work of sowing in prayer,
there was a work of intercession, there was a work of preparation uh as a prophetic reformer.
I remember I loved to go in my pastor's office, I had this senior leader named uh Cletty Keith who
was a wild uh apostolic prophetic guy. I mean just, just wild, just wild. I remember one time
in Rotherham, England, we were in a meeting and while he was preaching, all of a sudden he jumped
off, there were about 1200 people there, he jumped off the stage, started running down the aisle,
ripping people out of wheelchairs, just pulling them out. And as soon as he pulled them out,
they'd start running behind him until he had this big circle of people, about 12 people came out of
wheelchairs that day. And um, he used to walk up to me, he never taught me how to prophesy,
but he used to walk up to me and hand me the phone and he'd go, prophesy. And I'd go, well who is it?
Prophesy. Well where are they? Prophesy. You know what I mean? And he just, I was the worship leader,
I'd be at the keyboard and uh, he'd walk up while I was leading worship and go, my God, sing a prophetic
song. He has this gravelly voice. Sometimes he would write words, God gave me this song, sing it.
Well he didn't write music, he didn't score music, and so he'd set these words right in front of me
in real time, in a service with lots of people out there, and so I'd take these words and I'd start
singing to him. He'd go, my God, that's not how it goes.
This is true stuff.
I'd be leading worship Sunday morning and he goes, now y'all come back
tonight because Dana will prophesy over every single person that comes.
And then I'd have to, you know, do the thing all night long.
Huh? I know. I think that's why I'm such a passionate
prophetic equipper now. It's like, you're part of my recovery.
But I'm so thankful for that training too. And I used to love to go in his office. At those days,
it was before the renewal time, he would often travel from Monday through Saturday and then he'd
just be home to preach on Sunday. He'd be all over the world, preaching and teaching. And so I like
to go in his office to pray, because there were nicknames that he would give me. He'd say,
And so I'd pace around this office and I'd be praying and interceding for countries.
And I started praying for Haiti this day. And as I was praying for Haiti, suddenly a demon
spoke to me. And I was like, oh my God, what's going on? What's going on? What's going on?
And I was like, oh my God, what's going on? What's going on? What's going on?
Suddenly a demon
Spirit entered the room and he said,
if you keep praying for this nation,
I'll make sure that your wife and your children
are all molested and began to threaten me
with all these horrible things.
And I got scared.
And all of a sudden, a gift of faith fell on me.
And I'm like, wait a minute,
you're not practicing your voodoo on me.
And I said, I'm gonna practice Holy Ghost voodoo on you.
Now, this is not theological, okay?
This is.
But at the time I was writing a Bible study
for our youth group on the book of John.
So I had a paperback book of John in my back pocket.
And I pulled it out and I'm like,
you're not doing your voodoo on me.
I'm gonna do Holy Ghost voodoo on you.
And I walked over and I grabbed a box.
There was like this wooden chest on a shelf.
And I opened it up and I stuck the book of John
inside of it.
And I held it up and I said,
the gospel of John will go to every house
in the nation of Haiti.
And I began to hold it up and walk around.
And then kind of the faith lifted.
And so I was getting my Bible back
and I turned over the box and on the bottom it said,
made in Haiti.
Oh.
Two months later, the mail came
and there was a missions magazine.
And I looked at the cover of it and it said,
the gospel of John goes to every household in Haiti.
Was the cover on the magazine.
It's not always, it's not always a prophetic word.
Prophetic intercession is being the amen for God's, yes.
Prophetic intercession is not just interceding.
It's actually praying what God is saying
so that it can be released in the earth.
And here is a man who changed and shaped the future,
a prophetic reformer that few people know.
They know these battles but they don't know
why they came out this way.
But there were some faithful few that were in a room
seeing these events in advance
and declaring, let your kingdom come.
Let your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
And it was happening.
A third person I wanna share with you
is actually a current prophetic reformer
and he's part of Kay Nagle's team in Finders.
It's a guy named Rob Spurr and I wrote him this morning
to get permission to share this story
and to change some of the names to protect these people.
But in August 15th of last year,
the Taliban regained control of Afghanistan.
And by August 30th, the US military withdrew.
Grace, and that's not her real name,
was removed from her academic position.
Women were no longer allowed to teach.
And her family members who were doctors
were told that they must stop their practice
and they would no longer be paid.
September 10th, they started writing medical notes
to help other refugees evacuate
through Taliban checkpoints.
And they saw 13 young women orphans escaping
who are now safe in other countries.
September 25th, four people from the medical staff
were killed by public hanging outside of the medical clinic
where Grace's family ran their practice as a warning.
So they come to the building and here's their staff
hanging from the trees out front of their practice.
Obviously fearing for their life,
the family goes into hiding on September 29th.
Rob begins to pray.
Rob Spurr in Australia and the finders team in Australia
begins to pray on October 16th.
Rob has a vision about a man wearing a green vest
and he indicated that he was a safe person who could help.
And he also sees a man with a blue beret.
On October 18th through 20,
Grace accompanies her family to get documentation
for an escape and meet several times
with the man in the green vest
who allows them to get through to the offices
where they need the documentation.
Now, Rob doesn't know anything.
He doesn't have any contacts.
He saw a man wearing a green vest and he said.
that this is the guy that will help you.
And so they go into the office
and out of all the people over here
is a guy with the green vest.
They go to him and he helps them get
the documentation that they need.
Over the next several months,
changes keep happening,
changes in government, changes in policy,
their passports are confiscated,
their passports are denied, reissued,
going through a whole cycle of tragedies and other delays.
And there's great fear that their identities
have now been exposed.
On December 11th, Grace and her family
go to the Pakistan embassy checkpoint
and out of all the guards and officers standing there,
there's one man wearing a blue beret.
They go over to him and ask him for help
and he is holding their passports.
Oh.
The officer said he had been waiting for them
and checked them through
and they were allowed to leave the country.
I don't know the exact number,
but they have been rescuing multiple refugees
by getting information in visions and dreams
and transferring it to people in the country
and say, go by this road on this day.
Go and meet this person.
They don't have any contacts.
They don't have any,
this is not a underground structure.
This is a third heaven solution
coming in a mystical way and it's happening right now.
My own story,
I wanna tell you a little bit
of the sounds of the nation story.
I told you that God said,
I want you to change the sound of worship in nations
and I'm like, I have no idea how to do that.
There's no books on this.
There's no guides on this.
What do I do?
Again, I felt totally unqualified,
had no directions, had no ideas what to do
and the only thing I could think of
was to return back to Fiji,
which is where I got the call
and to hold a worship conference for songwriting
and I was gonna teach songwriting
because part of the word
was you're gonna help release new songs
and the song of the Lord in these nations
and so I was preparing to go
and by the time I had paid for my airfare
and booked the venue and a hotel to stay in
and stuff like that,
I had, like we had,
Regina and I had like a couple hundred bucks
left to our name
and I'm staring at this pile of,
you know, like a couple hundred bucks
and I'm laughing.
I'm like, Lord, I told you
this was going to take money
and you, like,
I'm like, this is not gonna work,
you know what I mean?
And I'm flipping through
a musician's friend magazine,
which is like a catalog for equipment
and on the back it says guitar strings for a dollar
and I'm like, wait a minute,
guitar strings normally cost like 10 to 20 dollars
and a dollar a piece,
I'm like, you know what?
It's not much,
but I could buy 144 sets of guitar strings
and give one set of guitar strings to everybody that comes.
All right?
So I went ahead and ordered these guitar strings
and guys, what happened is that was a seed of faith
in the ground for the word.
That Friday, I was preaching at a church
and a guy walked up to me and he said,
I feel like I'm supposed to give you my guitar
and I liked the sound of that.
I'm a guitar player as well
and he goes, it's for missions or something,
does that make any sense to you?
Now, I hadn't told anybody what I was doing yet
because I didn't understand it myself.
I opened the guitar and it's like glory came out,
oh, it was an Eric Clapton Martin,
worth thousands of dollars,
like a 1964, I think it was
and so I was like, I can't take this to Fiji,
it would destroy it and that would be a sin.
And so I basically put it on the equivalent
of eBay kind of thing and sold it,
really within 24 hours, got a few thousand dollars for it
and so I went down to the store
and I got microphones, cables and cords
that I could carry in a suitcase.
So I filled up a suitcase
full of microphones, cables and cords
and that was Friday night.
Now, no one had ever given me a guitar.
I was a professional musician for seven years,
I was a worship leader for 15 years at this time
and no one had ever given me a guitar before
but I get one on Friday.
So then I go to church on Sunday.
And one of my friends walks up to me and he goes,
Dano, I got a new guitar.
And among guitar players, that's like, we just had a baby.
You know what I mean?
Like this, that's how that translates.
They're passing out cigars.
You're like, oh, it's beautiful.
And he's like, I don't know what I'm gonna do
with my old one though.
And he's like, hey, aren't you going to Fiji or something?
And I'm like, yeah.
And he goes, well, maybe you could take
my old guitar with you.
And so he gave me this Ovation Custom Balladeer,
has this fiberglass back on it,
and it's really safe for travel and humidity.
And I'm like, oh, this will be great.
So now I have my 144 sets of guitar strings.
I have my suitcase full of microphones, cables, and cords.
And I have a Ovation Custom Balladeer.
And another couple walks up to me and they say,
hey, we feel like we're supposed to give you a guitar
for missions or something.
And they said, but we don't know anything about guitars.
So here's a few hundred bucks.
Just go buy one.
And so I took these couple hundred bucks.
I went to the store.
I tried out every guitar in that price range
and ended up with this bright blue Fender Stratocaster,
cobalt blue Fender Stratocaster.
Put it in a little gig bag.
One week ago, I had nothing.
And I'm laughing.
Lord, I told you this was gonna take money.
But I sowed a seed in the soil of my destiny
and within one week's time was walking away
with thousands of dollars of equipment.
And so I get to Fiji and the first thing that happens
is our worship conference, our songwriting conference.
There were about 120 worship leaders there
from all over Fiji.
And I said, hey guys, it's not much,
but I just wanted to give you a little gift.
Thank you for coming.
I wanna give you all a set of guitar strings.
We start passing out these guitar strings
and they start crying.
And I'm like, oh no, what did I do wrong?
Like, did I offend somebody?
And they said, no, Dano, this is an island nation.
And he said, there's no guitar strings,
there's no guitar factories.
He's like, and bringing guitar strings in
is a huge tax tariff.
And at that time, they said one set of guitar strings
would be three months wages.
He said, there's not a guy in this room
that could afford a set of guitar strings.
This is a really big gift.
And I'm like, it's a buck for me, you know what I mean?
And so, this one guy walks up to me.
Now remember, the Lord had given me this word.
You're gonna change the sound of worship in nations.
Your sons and daughters will be the leading edge
of revival movements and filling stadiums.
And this huge word,
and I have no idea how to make that happen.
I'm just taking little steps of obedience
in the direction of my destiny.
And so, this guy comes up to me,
he's wearing the Sulu man skirt
and he's got a guitar in his hands and he's crying.
And he said, there's only three strings on his guitar.
There's normally six strings,
but the others are all broken off.
There's pennies welded where the tuners used to be.
And he says through the interpreter,
Dana, you don't understand.
He said, I come from an island of only 400 people.
And he said, this is the only instrument on my island.
And he said, when you gave me those guitar strings,
you changed the sound of worship on my island.
And I was like, what did you say?
He said, you changed the sound of worship on my island.
And I knew I was on the right path.
I went to the Bible school
where I had received that encounter with the Lord,
where he told me that I'd changed
the sound of worship in nations.
It was maybe four hours away in the city of Suva.
And I arrive at this Bible college
and there's a guy teaching there
and he is winning hundreds and thousands
of Muslims to Christ.
And I'm listening to how he's doing it.
I'm so excited.
And I'm like, man, I love what you're doing.
Is there anything I can do for you?
And he goes, yes.
He goes, I'm praying for a guitar for our crusades.
And I'm like, well, I believe in being specific.
What are you praying for?
And he goes, well, let me show you.
It's on my prayer wall.
He said, for three years,
I've been praying for this Tobacco Sunburst
Ovation Custom Balladeer guitar.
And I said, I said, I'm sorry, I can't pray for that.
And he goes, why?
Am I asking for too much?
And I said, no, it's out in the Jeep.
Go get it.
The exact guitar he had been praying over for three years
is my friend's used guitar
that he had given me the Sunday before.
So then I go to a pastor's conference
and there are, it's a 7,000 seat auditorium.
There's maybe 4,000 or more pastors there.
preaching and teaching at the pastor's thing.
And there's a guy in the back who catches my attention.
And I turned to the missionary.
I go, is that guy a pastor?
He's like, Dano, it's a pastor's conference.
They're all pastors.
I'm like, gotcha.
I'm slow, but persistent.
And so I'm like, well, bring him up after the meeting.
So they bring him up after the meeting.
And I said, sir, I don't know if this means anything to you,
but I just feel like I'm supposed to give you
these microphones, cables, and cords.
And he grabs one of the microphones, and he picks it up,
and he starts worshiping and thanking the Lord.
I'm not kidding, for about 45 minutes,
tears streaming down his face.
And I turn to the missionary.
I go, he does know he has to plug that in, right?
And he said, Dano, you don't understand.
Three years ago, a church from New Zealand came
and gave him an entire PA system for his church,
but he's never had any microphones, cables,
or cords to hook it up.
And then you pulled him out of a room of 4,000 people
and give him a suitcase full of microphones,
cables, and cords.
And I'd love to tell you that I saw all this in advance,
but honestly, it was a divine accident.
You know what I mean?
I'm just being led in these moments by the Spirit
in just little fly-by-ways, you know?
And then, so I still have the cobalt blue
Fender Stratocaster.
And I'm like, Lord, who am I supposed to give this to?
And he said, give it to the missionary's son.
I'm like, wow.
I didn't think I'd be giving it to a cracker
in this particular place.
I didn't think I'd be giving it to a white guy.
And I was like, oh, this is weird, okay.
That's what they said at that time.
But anyway.
That was their language, not mine.
So I asked the missionary, I said,
does your son play guitar?
And he goes, well, kinda.
He like wants to.
Why?
And I said, because I feel like
I'm supposed to give him a guitar.
And now the missionary's crying.
And he goes, just do it, I'll tell you later.
And so I call his son in.
He's a teenager at the time.
I said, Greg, I feel like I'm supposed
to give you this guitar.
And he unzips it and he goes, dad, dad.
It's the same one.
It's the same color.
It's the same model, only brand new.
And they're both jumping up and down
and hugging each other.
And then I find the rest of the story.
He wants to start playing guitar,
but there's only one guitar available on the island.
And it's a beat up old Fender Stratocaster, cobalt blue.
It's so beat up and the neck is bent
like you could shoot arrows with it, you know?
But he figured he'd try to fix it up and use it.
And so he made an agreement with this church
that he would work for six months
and get the money to pay for this guitar.
And so he did.
He worked really hard.
And when he went to pick up the guitar,
the church had already sold it to somebody else
after promising they'd sell it to him.
He was so offended.
You know, missionary kids,
sometimes you're already got a little offense
that they've stole your parents and your life
and your home and, you know,
kind of that idea that he fell out with church.
He, you know, like, I don't want to go to church anymore.
And I don't believe in this.
And so I give him this guitar and it,
it's the exact same one, same model,
same color, everything, but brand new.
And he becomes a worship leader.
As a matter of fact,
he becomes the guitar player for Hillsong United.
And now he's over,
he's over five of the largest Hillsong churches
in South Africa in worship.
I know.
I didn't know it was an accident.
So, I don't want to prolong this,
but that went pretty good.
So I'm like, maybe we should try it somewhere else.
And I could tell you the whole long story
of how I was tricked into going to India.
I literally was, Jehovah's Sneak,
he pulled a fast one on me.
I ended up in India,
and then I went back to India nine days later
and did a worship conference,
about 4,000 worship leaders.
And what I do is when I travel to another country,
a lot of times, rather than take my guitar
and like the guitar that I love,
and that, you know, I don't want to get it stolen
or lost or beat up or anything,
I'll buy a guitar just for it.
or the concert, and then when it's over, I'll give it away.
And so I bought this guitar,
and we were finishing up the conference,
and I'm looking, who should I give it to?
And I look out across this sea of 4,000 people,
and there's a guy with an orange shirt on,
T-shirt on, with black writing,
and the black writing is the name of the band
I played in when I was a teenager.
I'm not kidding, I'm not kidding.
So I played in a rock band that was like
in Rolling Stone magazine, and Guitar Player magazine,
and MTV, Headbangers Ball, and all this kind of stuff.
But it's not like a super famous band,
and what is the chance of him having this T-shirt?
And so I'm like, hey, bring that guy up after the meeting.
So they bring him up, I'm like, are you a worship leader?
He's like, yeah, I lead worship for 20 years.
I lead worship for 25 people, my uncle's church.
We rent the basement of a little Catholic church.
I'm like, well, I just wanna give you this guitar.
And so I gave him the guitar, and while I was there,
I talked to this missionary, and I said,
hey, listen, let's do this.
You send me 20 worship leaders that you choose
that have a servant heart and want to be songwriters.
You send them to America, and I will pay for their airfare,
I will pay for their stay here, we will cover everything,
and I will teach them how to write songs for their nation.
And so it was an experiment.
So he sends people, a lot of them are from churches
of 10, 15,000, and one of the guys who gets off the plane
is this guy who's the worship leader for 25 people.
You know, and so we have two weeks together.
I teach them how to write songs in their sound,
in their language, what is the Lord saying over your nation?
And then we took a week in the recording studio.
I was a recording engineer for a long time,
and a Pro Tools certified instructor.
And so I recorded their songs,
sent them all back home with these songs.
Well, he gets back home, and Joyce Myers
is holding a conference in Hyderabad, India,
and she has this wonderful team.
They're amazing, they're playing and everything.
And Joyce goes, couldn't we hear some Indian music?
Like, isn't there an Indian song somewhere?
And they're like, well, actually,
there's this guy that just came back from America.
Well, who was it?
It was the guy from 25 people, right?
Wrote his first song, recorded his first song,
and so she's like, young man,
would you share your song with us?
You know, and he's like,
how many people are gonna be there?
They're like, oh, 25,000.
He's like, okay, and you know, he's,
well, he gets to the meeting,
there's not 25,000, there's 40,000.
He gets up, leads his song.
They start responding like never before,
and Joyce says, would you stay on and lead worship
for the next, you know, for the rest of the conference,
for 40,000 people?
A few years go by, and every year,
he's the worship leader for that conference,
but it has grown to over 400,000 people.
Yeah.
They became the most famous band
in that language group in India.
Martin Smith from Delirious wrote an article about them
in Worship Magazine, and so far,
that band has led 1.2 million people to Jesus Christ.
Just that one band.
And in the last 10 years,
and honestly, I have done very little with it now.
People are just taking the truths we taught them
and using the materials we taught them
and developing this on their own,
but there has not been a year,
probably in the last 10 years,
that one of our artists hasn't been on the red carpet
as the number one artist in their nation,
and really precious to me is last year,
that artist was the group from Fiji.
So 21 years later,
that group that we started with 21 years ago
became the number one artist in the nation of Fiji.
And I wanna close with this.
I had a not-me attitude towards this.
Lord, I don't feel qualified.
I don't feel educated enough, I'm not rich enough,
I'm not well-connected, I'm not famous.
All the things that I thought it would take
to be a prophetic reformer, I wasn't.
But I want to share something with you as we're closing.
In Hebrews 11, eight, it says,
it was by faith that Abraham obeyed
when God called him to leave home
and to go to another land that God would call him to
as his inheritance.
He went without knowing where he was going.
Here's the first thing that I learned
about prophetic reformers.
You have to say yes
before you even see what you're saying yes to.
No, I'm serious.
You have to say yes while it's still unclear
what you're agreeing to.
You have to say yes before you feel qualified.
You have to say yes before you know
how you're gonna get it done
or what you're committed to because you know why?
Because God is looking for your faith.
Without faith, it's impossible to please God
and knowing all the details
and making a calculated decision
is not the pathway of a reformer.
The pathway of a reformer
is that it will require your yes of faith
before you have it all figured out.
The second thing that I learned about prophetic reformers
is that you've got to take small steps of obedience
in the direction of your destiny.
One dollar guitar string
changed the sound of worship in an island
and that was enough to confirm
that I was on the right path.
But as long as I was saying
that this little something I had was nothing,
and guys, this is something
the Lord taught me about multiplication.
He said, quit calling your little something nothing.
Just offer it to me and I will bring the multiplication.
So in John 6, you guys know the story.
Jesus comes to the disciples and they said,
hey, you've been preaching a long time.
People are hungry, people are tired,
kind of like School of the Prophets.
And he's like, they're gonna pass out on the way home.
Their death's gonna be on our hands.
And he goes, you don't have to send them away.
You feed them.
And they said, we have nothing to feed them with.
And the scripture in John 6 literally says
that he did this as a test for Philip
because he already knew what he was going to do.
And then Philip's like, well, do you want us to go
and spend six months wages to pay all these guys?
Six months wages, hmm.
Remember the guitar strings were three months wages.
And at that time, Andrew comes up and he goes,
Lord, here's a happy meal.
Like, here's a kid's lunch.
Here's a kid's, I'm like, Andrew, what are you thinking?
Don't call your little something nothing.
Philip said, we have nothing to feed this great crowd with.
Andrew said, here's the tiniest little bit of something.
What can you do with this?
And there are baskets full left over.
Small steps of obedience in the direction of your reform
is really what God is looking for.
And it's upon us to not despise the day of small beginnings.
As it says in Zechariah 4.10.
Because in Zechariah 4.10, we all know that part,
despise not the day of small beginnings,
but the rest of that verse says this.
It says, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin.
In other words, the Lord rejoices
when you trust him enough to do something.
No matter how small it is.
Small steps of obedience.
I love this story.
We had this, Joshua Mills, we had him ministering
at our church and he told this story.
And he said that the Lord had proclaimed
a double fold harvest over him.
And so he received this word and he's like,
yes, that's my word.
And he got on the airplane,
and back then they were passing out peanuts still.
And they gave everybody on the plane one bag of peanuts,
and they gave him two.
And he goes, here it is.
You've got to be able to recognize
your breakthrough in seed form.
He was able to recognize a double fold harvest
that was coming.
This was not the answer,
but this was the beginning of the answer.
And it's like, this is that which was spoken
by the prophet.
It's not the end of that, it's the beginning of that.
And do you have the ability to recognize
the promise of God even in its seed form?
Small steps of obedience.
Third is divine partnership.
Again, I can't say enough that finders would be nowhere
without the word of God.
And so I want to encourage you to do that.
without this lady right here, without Kay Nagle,
I want to encourage you to do that.
it would be nowhere.
I want to encourage you to do that.
Prophetic Processing would be nowhere
without Michelle Dews here at propheticprocessing.com.
Like, I'll tell you what, I wouldn't be an author
if it weren't for my wife.
She is the most brilliant editor.
And I can tell you that my book,
Basic Training in Prophetic Activation
went through 12 edits.
I was suicidal.
On the 12th edit, she found 625 errors
on the 12th edit.
And I clept out of college English.
I'm like, I can't really be that bad.
And I was like, I don't even wanna see this book ever again.
Like, just get this out of my sight.
It was so painful.
It's like people saying your baby's ugly.
Like, we had this baby, and they're like.
You think writing a book is hard?
Editing a book, having somebody else editing your book,
oh my goodness.
But I'm telling you what, my wife rewrites my words
into things that I wish I had said.
And she cleans up my grammar.
She knows where every comma goes
and all that kind of stuff.
And makes me look so much better than I am.
So after your yes, after your blind yes to God,
and you begin to start taking small steps of obedience
in the direction of your destiny,
you start looking for strategic partners.
Strategic partnership is a principle of multiplication.
You'll find about this in my book, Bending Time,
which went through seven edits.
And it's like this big.
How can I be so wrong so often?
But Patrick, where are you at?
Patrick Britton, where are you at?
Right back here, see this handsome man in the back?
This guy right here was a homicide detective
who had an intuitive gift of the supernatural.
And actually, how many cases went unsolved
when you were the detective, Patrick?
Zero.
Thank you, bro.
Through supernatural intel, come on.
Through supernatural leading of the Holy Spirit,
he would know when people were lying,
when people were telling the truth.
He'd know where to go.
He told me stories.
It's almost like he had the lasso of truth
because people would come in and interview the suspect
and they'd just lie, lie, lie,
and Patrick would walk in the room and they'd confess.
You know what I mean?
They might've been scared.
You're pretty awesome.
But even as we're developing finders
and we wanna begin to teach other people
like in security and in police, like departments,
how can we advance?
We're looking for strategic partners like this
who have actually been living it.
Like for me, it's so conceptual,
but for them, this is the pathway that they've walked
and I need your wisdom, I need your understanding
to advance this dream and we can go so much further.
Lindsay, we love the prophetic lab,
but right behind her, Emory was her gift of administration,
helped the labs come together and have the structure
and the wine skin that held the wine of this vision.
And Matt is doing those kinds of things as well right now.
He's amazing.
Divine partnership is so important to prophetic reformers
and I'll finish with this.
It's persistence in the face of adversity.
Persistence in the face of adversity.
Like say a blind yes, take some baby steps,
not despising the day of small beginnings.
Look for your strategic partners
and then finally, persistence in the face of adversity.
After that great success in Fiji,
Regina and I dreamed of planning our first worship school
like on the ground, three-month worship school.
Let's just change the nation of Fiji
and we raised $17,000.
Everything we had at the time and more
and we sent it ahead to Fiji for them to prepare.
And I'd been dreaming of this for years
and been preparing for it and Regina was so willing
for our finances to go to this place and I got to Fiji.
and the money had been stolen.
The guy that I'd entrusted with it had run off with it.
And there was no worship conference.
There was no worship school.
And, oh man, my heart was broken.
And my dream was devastated.
But I'm like, well, what can we do?
Let's just rent a hall and do something.
Like, let's just, you know, call in whoever will come.
And I want you to know,
we had so many miracles and healing and divine things.
We didn't have a three-month worship school.
We just had a weekend worship school.
But God did some amazing things.
As a matter of fact, the largest secret church in our city,
their daughter had come with me.
She was on the worship team and she was healed of scoliosis
and gained four inches back in her height.
And it cemented a relationship
with the largest church back in my city.
And while I was there, unbeknownst to me,
I hadn't told anybody that the school wasn't going down.
I hadn't told anybody that it was stolen,
all this kind of stuff.
I was embarrassed.
I was confused, everything.
Graham Cook, who was our senior prophet at the time,
was back at the church.
And he's like, I just feel like we're supposed to take
an offering for Dano and for Sounds of the Nations.
And the offering was $24,000 that came in that day.
So I got home from this disappointment
and the Lord gave back all of it and more.
But I want you to know that what you do
in the face of adversity,
what you do in the midst of persecution,
what you do in the midst of failure,
that's all part of this thing, guys.
Faith and perseverance have to work together
for you to be fully equipped.
And every dream requires modification
because dreams are types, they're shadows,
they're partial information.
And so we have to keep modifying the clarity as we go along.
So don't give up, man.
Don't give up.
We'd get just enough promise along the way to keep going.
Just enough of a breakthrough along the way to keep going.
And I wanna say the same thing to you.
I believe this is the pathway of a prophetic reformer.
Listen, you felt disqualified.
You're like, Dano, who am I?
Like, I get that for you.
You just don't know who I really am.
I'm just like you.
But man, you feel like, I couldn't do this kind of stuff.
Like, I can't do what Chris is doing.
I can't do what you're doing.
I can't, you know, get up and teach
or give these prophetic words or whatever.
And I hope I showed you, first of all,
that just teaching and preaching and doing prophetic words
is not the only way to be a prophetic reformer,
that prophetic acts, prophetic intercession,
prophetic innovation.
There's so many ways that we can release the prophetic
to transform society.
But first of all, we gotta get you
over your inferiority complex.
And I want you to know that this verse
that God spoke over me, if I use them,
everybody will think they did it.
But if I use you, everybody will know that I did it.
And it anchored me in that scripture in 1 Corinthians.
Not many wise, not many noble.
I don't have to be all that.
I just have to be faithful.
And God will use the foolishness
and the nothingness of who I am to make something great
and something powerful in the earth.
And I wanna break that thing off of you right now.
It's time, guys.
I cannot send you out of this school
without breaking that lie of Moses,
that lie of Gideon, that lie of Saul,
that lie on the disciples.
We gotta break that thing, you guys.
And you have this sense of like, I'm not all that.
It's like, perfect.
You are the one he's looking for.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha.
St. Francis of Assisi was gathering these huge crowds.
And he had, there was a teacher
who was very popular at the time.
And he kept coming to Francis's meetings
and he was freaking out.
He's like, why does the whole world gather to you?
He said, you're not educated, you're not wise,
you're not good looking.
Why does every, you're not a great speaker.
Why does everybody come to you?
And he said, St. Francis looked up to heaven
and he said, it's because the Lord could find no one
that was least than me to shine his glory through.
And he said, I thank you, Father God.
And tears began to stream down his face,
not because he was offended, but because he was so honored
that God would choose him to shine his glory through.
And I want you to know that there is this lie
of inferiority, of inadequacy, of.
I'm not qualified, and we've gotta break that thing.
And I believe that the Lord is looking
for a blind yes from you today.
It's like, well, Dano, I don't even know what I'm saying.
Yes, you're perfect, that's great, that's great.
It's like, yeah, I'll tell you later.
Just do it, I'll tell you later.
So here we go, are you ready?
Are you guys standing up online as well?
Okay, if this applies to you, stand up in your room.
Don't just sit there, okay, stand up in your room
if this applies to you, and we're gonna break this thing.
And then tomorrow, man, we are gonna do some impartation.
We're gonna talk about some next steps
we can take in your development.
We're gonna just slap you around in the Holy Ghost.
And if the Holy Ghost doesn't fall on you,
probably somebody else will, so it's all good.
Come on, let's pray.
There's freedom in this house right now.
There's freedom in the house right now.
Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.
And what you thought was disqualifying you
is actually the thing that attracted God to you.
God loves the humble, God loves the gentle.
The meek will inherit the earth.
And so you are qualified.
I break off the lie of inadequacy.
I break off the lie of inferiority.
I break off the lie that you don't know how to do this,
you are not educated enough, not popular enough,
not rich enough, all that is not a problem for God.
He wants it to be a faith anyway.
And so Lord, we break off the shackles of these lies
that it takes something so special to be a reformer.
And Lord, like humble George Washington Carver,
whether we're getting the revelation of a peanut,
or whether we're getting directions to liberate refugees,
or whether we're buying a dollar set of guitar strings,
we just say yes.
We just say yes.
We just say that Lord, you are enough.
You are enough.
You are more than enough.
You are everything I need to make a difference.
And so Lord, I put my trust in you
that the excellency of the power
might be of God and not of man.
And Lord, we give you the thanks.
We give you the thanks that you are inviting us
into partnership with the God of the impossible.
And so we step into our blind yes, and we give you thanks.
Now lift up a shout like people that have been set free.
We lift you like people that have been set free,
lift you like people that have been set free,
lift you like people that have been set free.
Thank you, come on, come on, come on,
thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you,
thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.
Now don't wait to understand it all,
but take simple steps of obedience.
Do something that you know you can do
in the direction of your destiny
and recognize the fulfillment of the promises of God
even in seed form, God bless you guys,
thanks so much for listening.
Just for a second, I wanna highlight something
because Dana was talking about guitars
and guitar strings and all this stuff
and Barbara K had come to me earlier on
in the school and said,
hey, someone had a word of knowledge
that someone sold their guitar just to come here
for School of the Prophets
and the guy who had the word of knowledge about this
went and bought a brand new guitar
at just to like, hey, I think this is a word of knowledge,
I'm gonna buy a new guitar for this person
who actually sold their guitar just to be here.
Who sold the guitar?
Raise your hand if that's you.
Raise your hand. Who did it? No, who? The girl gave up the
guitar. Who gave up the guitar? Right there. Who gave the
guitar? Right there. A brand new Taylor guitar. Martin? A
Martin? That is awesome. Come on. This is right there.
Literally, literally trusting a word of knowledge and acting on
it. So you guys, you can do this. You can do this. And we're
believing that. Hey, ministry team, why don't you come
forward? If you are online, you just click the link in the Zoom.
We want to pray for you. We want to pray with you. Ministry team,
come on up front. And if you want prayer, we are here. I
mean, it was such a good night. Maybe you don't need any prayer.
You just need to go have a prophetic dream with God.
Whatever you need to do, go do that. Bless you all. We'll see
you in the morning at your final community group. Make sure
you're there. Love you all. Good night.
