00:00:10.920 --> 00:00:13.240 Restful one, I call your spirit to 5 00:00:13.240 --> 00:00:15.640 attention in the name of Jesus of Nazareth. 6 00:00:15.640 --> 00:00:18.140 I bless you with the joy of the Lord. 7 00:00:18.140 --> 00:00:20.700 Listen to God's word for you. 8 00:00:20.700 --> 00:00:24.520 You have made known to me the path of life. 9 00:00:24.520 --> 00:00:27.760 You will fill me with joy in your presence, 10 00:00:27.760 --> 00:00:30.560 with eternal pleasures at your right hand. 11 00:00:30.560 --> 00:00:33.160 Psalm 1611. 12 00:00:33.160 --> 00:00:37.280 Restful one, you have experienced many kinds of joy, 13 00:00:37.280 --> 00:00:39.260 joy of parental love, 14 00:00:39.260 --> 00:00:41.420 of friends and relationships, 15 00:00:41.420 --> 00:00:45.840 of accomplishment, of seeing God work in and through you, 16 00:00:45.840 --> 00:00:49.120 of seeing others empowered to accomplish things. 17 00:00:49.120 --> 00:00:52.560 Your father designed you to experience a vast number of 18 00:00:52.560 --> 00:00:57.680 joys that are legitimate, good, and wonderful. 19 00:00:57.680 --> 00:01:00.140 I bless you, restful one, 20 00:01:00.140 --> 00:01:04.000 with your life being full of many different kinds of joy. 21 00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:06.520 I bless you with the greatest joy that comes from 22 00:01:06.520 --> 00:01:09.920 experiencing the presence of God in your spirit. 23 00:01:09.920 --> 00:01:13.460 I bless your spirit as a sanctuary, 24 00:01:13.460 --> 00:01:16.200 not a war zone, a safe place, 25 00:01:16.200 --> 00:01:19.380 a place where you are visited by the Holy Spirit, 26 00:01:19.380 --> 00:01:22.000 where he broods over your spirit, 27 00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:23.760 and you become intensely 28 00:01:23.760 --> 00:01:26.160 familiar with the presence of God with you. 29 00:01:26.160 --> 00:01:28.960 I bless you with sensing his presence, 30 00:01:28.960 --> 00:01:30.520 watching over your life. 31 00:01:30.520 --> 00:01:32.880 I bless you with experiencing the joy of 32 00:01:32.880 --> 00:01:35.720 his presence in both private and public worship. 33 00:01:35.720 --> 00:01:38.300 Psalm 167 says, 34 00:01:38.300 --> 00:01:42.140 even at night, my heart instructs me. 35 00:01:42.140 --> 00:01:43.720 I bless you, restful one, 36 00:01:43.720 --> 00:01:47.860 with fullness of joy in the night watches, 37 00:01:47.860 --> 00:01:50.720 as the spirit of God ministers to your spirit. 38 00:01:50.960 --> 00:01:54.460 The nighttime is the first fruits of God's creation. 39 00:01:54.460 --> 00:01:56.120 Therefore, it is holy. 40 00:01:56.120 --> 00:01:57.920 I reject and break off of 41 00:01:57.920 --> 00:02:02.160 you every claim of the enemy to the night hours. 42 00:02:02.160 --> 00:02:05.520 I proclaim it is God's holy time when 43 00:02:05.520 --> 00:02:09.240 he delights to visit you, to minister to you. 44 00:02:09.240 --> 00:02:12.480 I bless you with experiencing his presence in 45 00:02:12.480 --> 00:02:16.120 the night watches as your subconscious mind and 46 00:02:16.120 --> 00:02:20.320 your spirit are open to the spirit of God. 47 00:02:20.320 --> 00:02:23.600 He can minister to your spirit while 48 00:02:23.600 --> 00:02:27.600 your conscious mind is not cluttering up the works. 49 00:02:27.600 --> 00:02:30.400 I bless you as your father 50 00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:32.640 makes known the path of life to you. 51 00:02:32.640 --> 00:02:35.000 I bless you with joy as you 52 00:02:35.000 --> 00:02:37.300 see his presence in the world around you, 53 00:02:37.300 --> 00:02:40.720 his fingerprints on your life. 54 00:02:40.720 --> 00:02:43.560 What he has prepared for you, 55 00:02:43.560 --> 00:02:45.500 the gifts that he has given you, 56 00:02:45.500 --> 00:02:47.660 the surprises that he's planned for you, 57 00:02:47.660 --> 00:02:49.720 the unexpected treasures he has 58 00:02:49.720 --> 00:02:51.240 placed in your life. 59 00:02:51.240 --> 00:02:53.620 In the name of Jesus of Nazareth, 60 00:02:53.620 --> 00:02:57.920 I anoint your eyes with ointment from Revelation 3.18, 61 00:02:57.920 --> 00:02:59.680 to see in the spirit realm, 62 00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:01.240 things as they are, 63 00:03:01.240 --> 00:03:05.400 the gifts and the presence and the hand of God, 64 00:03:05.400 --> 00:03:10.000 his truth and his love touches all through your life, 65 00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:12.100 day after day. 66 00:03:12.100 --> 00:03:14.780 I bless you, restful one, 67 00:03:14.780 --> 00:03:16.880 with going to different places around 68 00:03:16.880 --> 00:03:18.480 the world where God is working, 69 00:03:18.480 --> 00:03:20.080 and every generation there are 70 00:03:20.080 --> 00:03:21.720 unique visitations of 71 00:03:21.720 --> 00:03:24.280 the spirit of God in different parts of the world. 72 00:03:24.280 --> 00:03:26.080 Each visitation has 73 00:03:26.080 --> 00:03:30.720 a particular expression of the presence and power of God. 74 00:03:30.720 --> 00:03:33.880 I bless you with having the liberty to travel, 75 00:03:33.880 --> 00:03:36.240 the ability to go and experience new and 76 00:03:36.240 --> 00:03:39.400 different flavors of the manifest presence of God. 77 00:03:39.400 --> 00:03:45.080 I bless you with being there and soaking in it, savoring it. 78 00:03:45.080 --> 00:03:47.560 I bless you with eternal pleasures 79 00:03:47.560 --> 00:03:49.480 at the right hand of your father, 80 00:03:49.480 --> 00:03:52.360 the hand of authority and blessing. 81 00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:55.120 I bless you with hearing him call you 82 00:03:55.120 --> 00:03:59.560 the beloved child of his right hand, his favorite child. 83 00:03:59.560 --> 00:04:03.840 I bless you with knowing that you bring him pleasure. 84 00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:06.860 I bless you with a profound sense of 85 00:04:06.860 --> 00:04:09.240 the pleasure of your father as 86 00:04:09.240 --> 00:04:12.080 your heart is deeply pleased in him. 87 00:04:12.080 --> 00:04:16.160 I bless you with the fullness of joy. 88 00:04:16.560 --> 00:04:20.040 Of the presence of the true and living God, 89 00:04:20.040 --> 00:04:22.720 in the name of Jesus of Nazareth. 90 00:04:27.400 --> 00:04:31.520 Lord, there's a place of 91 00:04:31.520 --> 00:04:35.360 experiencing your presence that will radically shift people. 92 00:04:35.440 --> 00:04:38.600 There are those, Lord, that we would say 93 00:04:38.600 --> 00:04:41.240 are sensitive and those that seem to be not. 94 00:04:41.240 --> 00:04:43.600 There are some that easily seem to 95 00:04:43.600 --> 00:04:46.400 experience and be overwhelmed by your presence, 96 00:04:46.400 --> 00:04:49.320 and those that could testify that 97 00:04:49.320 --> 00:04:52.520 they don't know if they've ever experienced it. 98 00:04:53.160 --> 00:04:58.200 Now, sometimes it's sociological or it's a wiring issue 99 00:04:58.200 --> 00:04:59.920 or how people think or 100 00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:01.600 Maybe our minds get in the way 101 00:05:01.600 --> 00:05:06.600 and some people are just naturally seem to be more sensitive. 102 00:05:09.640 --> 00:05:12.160 And sometimes we just have to enter it by faith, 103 00:05:14.040 --> 00:05:18.680 to come before you by faith 104 00:05:19.720 --> 00:05:23.720 and grab hold of the fact that we're before you, 105 00:05:23.720 --> 00:05:24.960 that we're in your presence, 106 00:05:24.960 --> 00:05:26.520 whether we feel it or we don't, 107 00:05:26.520 --> 00:05:30.440 and acknowledge you and thank you for it. 108 00:05:32.000 --> 00:05:34.200 Lord, I pray that each and every person here, 109 00:05:35.720 --> 00:05:37.400 under the sound of my voice, 110 00:05:38.920 --> 00:05:40.960 to be more sensitive to your presence. 111 00:05:42.840 --> 00:05:43.800 I was struck, Lord, 112 00:05:43.800 --> 00:05:47.080 that I think we're like 70 or 75% water. 113 00:05:50.800 --> 00:05:53.840 Lord, once you told me a riddle, 114 00:05:53.840 --> 00:05:55.280 I'm not going to get into it, 115 00:05:55.280 --> 00:05:57.160 where it was to cleanse my waters. 116 00:05:58.640 --> 00:06:00.720 And I understood part of what this was, 117 00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:05.400 was some define, I don't want to get off topic, 118 00:06:05.400 --> 00:06:09.040 but define that the sea of glass is really water, 119 00:06:10.120 --> 00:06:12.760 but there's no disturbance. 120 00:06:12.760 --> 00:06:15.800 It's just crystal clear like that, a perfect reflection. 121 00:06:15.800 --> 00:06:20.800 And that when the spirit hovered over the waters, 122 00:06:21.720 --> 00:06:26.720 that our ability and our sensitivities to you 123 00:06:26.960 --> 00:06:29.840 come from us being water, 124 00:06:29.840 --> 00:06:33.640 similar to when the spirit hovered over the waters. 125 00:06:35.040 --> 00:06:36.800 And you showed me in my life 126 00:06:36.800 --> 00:06:40.080 and that there were things, 127 00:06:40.080 --> 00:06:41.440 other things in the waters, 128 00:06:41.440 --> 00:06:45.200 creating disturbances that competed with your presence, 129 00:06:45.200 --> 00:06:47.200 the things that you were doing and saying. 130 00:06:47.240 --> 00:06:51.040 And it made it harder for me to experience 131 00:06:51.040 --> 00:06:56.040 and comprehend all that you were trying to provide to me. 132 00:06:59.040 --> 00:07:02.400 I pray, Lord, that each and every person here, 133 00:07:02.400 --> 00:07:06.560 that every stone, every twig, every obstacle, 134 00:07:06.560 --> 00:07:09.920 everything that may be competing in that same sense, 135 00:07:11.240 --> 00:07:15.320 with your movement, with the wind of the spirit, 136 00:07:15.320 --> 00:07:17.480 when water is totally still, 137 00:07:17.480 --> 00:07:20.560 you can see when the wind blows across, 138 00:07:20.560 --> 00:07:23.160 you can see the ripples that it makes. 139 00:07:23.160 --> 00:07:25.400 So Lord, I pray that each and every person here 140 00:07:25.400 --> 00:07:28.600 to be able to experience your pleasures, 141 00:07:28.600 --> 00:07:32.000 or Lord, that if they enter it just by faith, 142 00:07:33.040 --> 00:07:36.360 that Lord, that they see the evidence of the movement. 143 00:07:36.360 --> 00:07:39.600 We can't see the wind, but we can see the evidence. 144 00:07:39.600 --> 00:07:42.120 We can feel it, though we cannot see it. 145 00:07:46.320 --> 00:07:49.920 And then even deeper, Lord, 146 00:07:49.920 --> 00:07:52.400 are the mysteries of the deep currents, 147 00:07:52.400 --> 00:07:54.720 that though the surface may seem calm, 148 00:07:54.720 --> 00:07:57.400 there are deep currents moving beneath. 149 00:08:00.040 --> 00:08:03.520 So that whether we're on surface or we're going deep, 150 00:08:03.520 --> 00:08:06.520 Lord, I pray that we would be caught up into your presence. 151 00:08:07.960 --> 00:08:12.960 I pray, Lord, for a cleansing of our waters, so to speak, 152 00:08:13.080 --> 00:08:14.640 euphemistically speaking, 153 00:08:16.200 --> 00:08:21.200 and that you would, again, I pray, Lord, 154 00:08:22.200 --> 00:08:24.680 that you would bless our senses 155 00:08:24.680 --> 00:08:27.760 to be able to experience and encounter you 156 00:08:27.760 --> 00:08:30.680 in ways that we never have been able to before. 157 00:08:30.680 --> 00:08:35.280 And that, Lord, that I think our filters sometimes 158 00:08:35.280 --> 00:08:38.360 get in the way of avenues 159 00:08:38.360 --> 00:08:42.840 in things in which you are communicating 160 00:08:43.600 --> 00:08:45.040 or releasing your presence over us, 161 00:08:45.040 --> 00:08:48.560 but our preconceptions of what that's supposed to look like 162 00:08:48.560 --> 00:08:50.840 don't match, and we miss it. 163 00:08:52.880 --> 00:08:56.440 I pray, Lord, you would expand our language of God. 164 00:08:57.880 --> 00:09:00.760 That is, for us to understand the unique 165 00:09:00.760 --> 00:09:05.760 and individual way in which you speak, 166 00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:10.040 present yourself, that we can experience you 167 00:09:10.040 --> 00:09:11.920 in your Holy Spirit. 168 00:09:12.960 --> 00:09:16.320 And I pray that you would bless each and every person here, 169 00:09:16.320 --> 00:09:20.800 make it clear what it is that you're saying in Jesus' name.
