00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:10.360
Good day everyone. This is day four. God fights for you. Restful one, I call your

2
00:00:10.360 --> 00:00:15.440
spirit to attention in the name of Jesus of Nazareth. Listen to the word of God

3
00:00:15.440 --> 00:00:21.800
for you. Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance of the Lord

4
00:00:21.800 --> 00:00:28.120
the Lord will bring to you today. The Egyptians you see today will not will

5
00:00:28.120 --> 00:00:33.280
never see again. You will never see again. The Lord will fight for you. You need

6
00:00:33.280 --> 00:00:40.880
only to be still. Exodus 14 13 through 14. Restful one, your father intends for you

7
00:00:40.880 --> 00:00:47.360
to rest at peace in him as he takes care of your enemies. I bless you with an

8
00:00:47.360 --> 00:00:53.520
unafraid heart that will lead you to the place of peace where God will fight for

9
00:00:53.520 --> 00:00:58.440
you and you will not have to fight. You will watch God remove your enemies

10
00:00:58.440 --> 00:01:04.400
before your eyes and deliver you. You will stand and move forward doing the

11
00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:09.920
things God has called you to do and he will fight your battles. I bless you with

12
00:01:09.920 --> 00:01:16.520
daily steps of obedience both in little things and in radical things unthinkable

13
00:01:16.520 --> 00:01:23.440
things that will position you for God to fight your battles for you. Before he

14
00:01:23.440 --> 00:01:28.760
destroyed their enemies your father wanted his people to have great peace. I

15
00:01:28.760 --> 00:01:35.000
bless you with a large perspective of the peace that God wants for you. I bless

16
00:01:35.000 --> 00:01:40.760
you with circumstances that are orchestrated by God to bring about the

17
00:01:40.760 --> 00:01:46.720
elimination of your enemies. I bless you with situations that only God could

18
00:01:46.720 --> 00:01:53.160
contrive where you do nothing, where you don't need to battle, where you stand and

19
00:01:53.160 --> 00:01:58.760
watch and see God bring a problem right up to you and resolve the problem so

20
00:01:58.760 --> 00:02:03.960
that your enemies are no longer there and will not return. I bless you with

21
00:02:03.960 --> 00:02:10.000
your father's orchestrated situations and faith to see his provisions and not

22
00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:17.200
fear when problems come close to you. Listen again with your spirit to the

23
00:02:17.200 --> 00:02:22.760
Word of the Lord for you. Without faith it is impossible to please God because

24
00:02:22.760 --> 00:02:28.280
anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those

25
00:02:28.280 --> 00:02:34.600
who earnestly seek him. Hebrews 11 6. Your father intends for you to please him

26
00:02:34.600 --> 00:02:40.440
with great faith. I bless you with the joy of imparting to other people the

27
00:02:40.440 --> 00:02:47.280
faith to walk in security in him. I bless you with stories of God's intervention

28
00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:52.880
that are so deeply woven into your spirit that you're sharing those stories

29
00:02:52.880 --> 00:02:58.160
with others lifts them up and out of fear and enables them to have the faith

30
00:02:58.160 --> 00:03:03.960
to look forward, to cry out for God's intervention in their own lives. I bless

31
00:03:03.960 --> 00:03:09.120
you with being led by the Spirit to respond to problems with faith, not as a

32
00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:14.560
slave out of a victim mindset of avoidance, blame-shifting, or

33
00:03:14.560 --> 00:03:19.720
rationalization. I bless you with perseverance, not a spirit of fainting

34
00:03:19.720 --> 00:03:25.520
and giving up. I bless you with embracing problems, viewing them as challenges, and

35
00:03:25.520 --> 00:03:32.440
as opportunities for faith, as new ways to see the many facets of God and how he

36
00:03:32.440 --> 00:03:40.200
will work in them and through them to work things out in his plan. I bless you

37
00:03:40.240 --> 00:03:44.600
with seeing the presence of God in those things that the world calls problematic

38
00:03:44.600 --> 00:03:50.920
and painful. I bless you with such faith that you can rejoice in standing firm as

39
00:03:50.920 --> 00:03:57.600
a danger gets closer and you see God intervene on your behalf in a

40
00:03:57.600 --> 00:04:02.800
supernatural way, setting you free and removing your enemies so they will not

41
00:04:02.800 --> 00:04:09.120
again intrude on your life. I bless you with having the faith to look beyond the

42
00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:14.640
immediate price and see the treasure that lies on the other side. I bless you

43
00:04:14.640 --> 00:04:21.640
with receiving the reward of those who earnestly seek him. Restful one, listen

44
00:04:21.640 --> 00:04:26.960
again with your spirit to the Word of God. When a man's ways are pleasing to

45
00:04:26.960 --> 00:04:35.400
the Lord, he makes even his enemies live in at peace with him. Proverbs 16 7. Your

46
00:04:35.400 --> 00:04:41.240
Father intends for even your enemies to see that your ways are pleasing to him.

47
00:04:41.240 --> 00:04:45.960
This is the highest level of God's protection when your enemies want to be

48
00:04:45.960 --> 00:04:51.520
at peace with you. I bless you with that degree of the favor of the Lord upon

49
00:04:51.520 --> 00:04:56.440
your life so that it will be evident that you have an intimate relationship

50
00:04:56.440 --> 00:05:00.920
with God and that God is with you.

51
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:05.560
I bless you with people recognizing the favor of God upon your life without being jealous

52
00:05:05.560 --> 00:05:08.120
or his blessing on you.

53
00:05:08.120 --> 00:05:14.600
I pray that as they recognize his favor, the fear of the Lord will come upon them and there

54
00:05:14.600 --> 00:05:23.040
will be a holy awe that a person could walk with God on such a level of intimacy.

55
00:05:23.040 --> 00:05:31.880
I bless you with having the favor of God upon you in such a way that people will recognize

56
00:05:31.880 --> 00:05:36.300
that there is something different about your spirit and they will come to you and seek

57
00:05:36.300 --> 00:05:42.440
to be at peace with you because they do not want to offend the Lord with whom you are

58
00:05:42.440 --> 00:05:44.200
in a relationship.

59
00:05:44.200 --> 00:05:49.240
I bless you with having people verify and validate the favor of God upon you.

60
00:05:49.240 --> 00:05:56.640
I bless you with your ways being pleasing to the Lord in such a profound way that your

61
00:05:56.640 --> 00:06:02.160
enemies live at peace with you and seek out your God.

62
00:06:02.160 --> 00:06:09.880
I bless you with having peace upon you that is a beacon in a world that is full of turmoil.

63
00:06:09.880 --> 00:06:16.080
I bless you with attracting people to you who are seeking safety in relationship with

64
00:06:16.080 --> 00:06:19.480
God with whom you have a relationship.

65
00:06:19.480 --> 00:06:24.920
They will seek to know your God who gives you such favor.

66
00:06:24.920 --> 00:06:32.480
I bless you, restful one, with the ultimate protection of peace which is what God offers

67
00:06:32.480 --> 00:06:36.400
to those who walk with him in his favor.

68
00:06:36.400 --> 00:06:41.840
I bless you with having your enemies be at peace with you because they recognize God's

69
00:06:41.840 --> 00:06:43.060
hand.

70
00:06:43.060 --> 00:06:50.060
I bless you with these blessings in the name of Jesus of Nazareth.

71
00:06:50.060 --> 00:07:02.940
Father, I am reminded of a pastor that I...I don't know if I should say this, but he wasn't

72
00:07:02.940 --> 00:07:08.300
my favorite pastor, but I only remember two things that he ever spoke about from stage

73
00:07:08.300 --> 00:07:11.820
to stage and I've never forgotten them.

74
00:07:11.820 --> 00:07:17.740
And one of them was the idea that we're going to be saved and that everything's going to

75
00:07:17.740 --> 00:07:24.660
be okay, meaning our life is just immediately going to get better and we're not going to

76
00:07:24.660 --> 00:07:28.420
have to go through the same things as everybody else.

77
00:07:28.420 --> 00:07:32.420
But the reality is most of us have found out that that's not exactly the way that it works,

78
00:07:32.420 --> 00:07:41.300
but the way that he was discussing it was that basically what it is is that we go through

79
00:07:41.300 --> 00:07:51.580
the same things everybody else does, but when we go through it, our life just looks different.

80
00:07:51.580 --> 00:08:00.740
And in the end, when people want to know why do we look, why does our family look, why

81
00:08:00.860 --> 00:08:05.660
do we have peace, why do we look, what are things...we're going through the exact same

82
00:08:05.660 --> 00:08:07.460
things and we're not freaking out.

83
00:08:07.460 --> 00:08:10.500
Why do we...why does our life look so different?

84
00:08:10.500 --> 00:08:11.500
What's the difference?

85
00:08:11.500 --> 00:08:12.780
What's the difference?

86
00:08:12.780 --> 00:08:21.340
And that at some point in time, everything in our life just points to you.

87
00:08:21.340 --> 00:08:25.660
And during the time of the Israelites, as they roamed through the nation, one thing

88
00:08:25.660 --> 00:08:36.900
everybody knew, visibly and otherwise, not only were there a lot of them, but they knew

89
00:08:36.900 --> 00:08:39.740
that their God was with them.

90
00:08:39.740 --> 00:08:47.540
And that struck fear and terror and caused their enemies to flee or to try to befriend

91
00:08:47.540 --> 00:08:50.980
them.

92
00:08:50.980 --> 00:09:00.660
And I believe, Lord, when Moses said, Lord, we will not go forward without you with us.

93
00:09:00.660 --> 00:09:11.180
Lord, I pray truly for each and every person here that there be such overwhelming favor,

94
00:09:11.180 --> 00:09:21.660
such presence, such even a grander comprehension, a greater capacity to be, to be hollowed out

95
00:09:21.660 --> 00:09:26.540
within them, to be able to carry more of the presence, the grace and the glory of God.

96
00:09:26.540 --> 00:09:32.460
But there be so much favor upon them that it calls all people not to just be at peace

97
00:09:32.460 --> 00:09:40.020
with them, but to want what they have.

98
00:09:40.020 --> 00:09:44.740
What would it be, Lord, to walk in the embodiment of you?

99
00:09:44.740 --> 00:09:52.540
Not to be you, but where there's so much of your life in us that it draw people not to

100
00:09:52.540 --> 00:09:58.980
us, but to you.

101
00:09:58.980 --> 00:10:00.020
I pray, Lord, as.

102
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:08.720
in the days of Solomon, where he was at rest with all of his enemies, where people far

103
00:10:08.720 --> 00:10:15.640
and wide came to see this man.

104
00:10:15.640 --> 00:10:25.960
We may not all be the wisest, Lord, but it's unmerited, unwarranted favor that we carry.

105
00:10:25.960 --> 00:10:30.180
What did a prince do to be heir to the throne?

106
00:10:30.180 --> 00:10:33.960
He was just born into that family.

107
00:10:33.960 --> 00:10:40.760
What I thank you for, whether they're sons and daughters, but that we can all call the

108
00:10:40.760 --> 00:10:52.200
firstborn, first son, a place where we are heirs to all that you have.

109
00:10:52.200 --> 00:10:55.360
And that there's an unmerited favor that comes upon us.

110
00:10:55.360 --> 00:11:02.920
And I pray too, Lord, that we have a place today where we touch the heart of God.

111
00:11:02.920 --> 00:11:09.880
Lord, we want our lives to be pleasing to you, that the aroma of our life to be pleasing,

112
00:11:09.880 --> 00:11:17.760
that the incense of our prayers to be pleasing, that Lord, we do what we see our Father doing.

113
00:11:18.120 --> 00:11:25.480
I don't know if I've shared this before, but another thing that comes to mind is Rick Joiner

114
00:11:25.480 --> 00:11:36.280
had an experience where he did these five things every day that were supposed to be

115
00:11:36.280 --> 00:11:40.240
pleasing to you.

116
00:11:40.240 --> 00:11:43.600
And he was either really sick or in a tremendous amount of pain.

117
00:11:43.600 --> 00:11:47.080
I think he was really sick.

118
00:11:47.080 --> 00:11:58.640
And he was doing the best that he could, and at some point he said, Lord, I'm sorry.

119
00:11:58.640 --> 00:12:04.360
I wanted to do these things today, but that's the best that I have.

120
00:12:04.360 --> 00:12:08.520
That's all I can do.

121
00:12:08.520 --> 00:12:16.560
And he was instantly taken up into heaven.

122
00:12:17.360 --> 00:12:22.600
The Lord took him into a room and the angels were all around.

123
00:12:22.600 --> 00:12:29.360
And the Father, it's one of the few times he ever saw the Father, was bent over weeping.

124
00:12:29.360 --> 00:12:34.200
And Rick said, Oh my Lord, what happened?

125
00:12:34.200 --> 00:12:37.120
He thought somebody, did somebody die?

126
00:12:37.120 --> 00:12:41.600
What could have happened that could have caused him to be so upset?

127
00:12:41.600 --> 00:12:45.200
And the Lord said, No.

128
00:12:45.200 --> 00:12:56.920
I took you here so that you would know that in the time of your greatest discomfort and

129
00:12:56.920 --> 00:13:03.040
pain and sickness, that you turned your heart to try to please God.

130
00:13:03.040 --> 00:13:13.400
And that this, your effort, what you did touched him so greatly.

131
00:13:13.400 --> 00:13:16.160
I wanted you to see it.

132
00:13:16.160 --> 00:13:24.960
Lord, I pray for each of us today, somehow, Lord, that we do something to move and touch

133
00:13:24.960 --> 00:13:34.280
your heart, that we would do something to move the heart of the Father today, to think

134
00:13:34.280 --> 00:13:42.920
that people that seemingly are so insignificant, at least in our own idea, could touch the

135
00:13:42.920 --> 00:13:46.320
heart of God that way.

136
00:13:46.320 --> 00:13:50.160
I don't pray for any of us to be in great pain or sickness today, that you have to go

137
00:13:50.160 --> 00:13:56.720
through that to touch your heart, but I pray, Lord, that today that we touch your heart.

138
00:13:56.720 --> 00:14:01.760
And I do pray, Lord, for those that are here, that they come into a profound place of rest

139
00:14:01.760 --> 00:14:04.120
where it's done.

140
00:14:04.120 --> 00:14:10.680
Doesn't mean that we don't do things, doesn't mean that we don't provide effort, but Lord,

141
00:14:10.680 --> 00:14:14.200
that the favor of God really would come forth.

142
00:14:14.200 --> 00:14:24.680
And that your hand on the people here to be so evident that it calls all people to come

143
00:14:24.680 --> 00:14:29.080
and wonder what in the world is your secret.

144
00:14:29.080 --> 00:14:33.440
The only thing is you.

145
00:14:33.440 --> 00:14:36.800
We bless you and we love you, Lord, in Jesus' holy name.
