righto well we're just gonna take a moment now just for any testimonies for
people if anyone wants to share how things have been going with the daily
hard things challenge that would be great I'm always cool to hear what's
been happening for people
Mikey how about you share something all the way from Canada well at first when I
was doing the hard things like they were hard but I'm finding now that they're
getting easier and I'm actually looking forward to it like I jump out of bed and
I can't wait to start on my day doing the you know the hard things yeah
actually yeah I've actually doubled up on you know the spring and tongues and
and I've added more time to my workout and right I'm just slowly adding as I as
they fun I'm finding them easier that is very cool Joan welcome it's really good
to have you with us can you hear us okay
hopefully you can hear us Joan it's very nice to have you with us and angel I can
see you've jumped on board with us great to have you and Raiwan great to see you
nice and early for you this morning isn't it Raiwan it's not too bad
actually it's nine o'clock but I've had a nearly start so I've checked a lot of
boxes already so feel good you look like you've just washed your hair um yeah a
little while ago yeah
Nice and fluffy, anyone else got some thoughts on the daily hard things, what's been valuable?
It's 10pm for Angel. Hi Angel, good to have you with us.
Angie, I just wanted to say with the hard things that one of the things that
I've been really conscious of is you know how when we make something a habit
it also disengages our brain a little bit, that's why habits become habits is that we
we don't necessarily engage and so I've been really conscious just in the last couple of weeks
particularly with the praying and the tongues and that sort of thing is actually entering
in at the same time as making it a habit, do you know what I mean?
It's a little bit like how you know as a child we'd sit down and say grace and
and we do it in our family sometimes, oh have we said grace? You know like it's kind of like
something becomes so habitual that it takes the relationship out of it.
Yeah totally, you can totally get busy praying in the spirit and that's one of the reasons is
because it is not a cognitive process, it doesn't require your mind to actually happen so it's a
double-edged sword, it still has value even if you're not cognitively engaged because it's
your spirit but you will always, there's another dimension that you can get out of being really
fully present and engaged as well so either is a win but yeah I hear you, I hear you on that one
for sure. So interestingly when it comes to the daily hard things challenge today is day 43 so
yesterday was day 42 which means that yesterday was our second 21 day cycle completed so remember
it takes 21 days to create a new pathway in your brain so and it takes three 21 day cycles to have
it completely consolidated so for people who are like oh man I've been this I'm finding you know
like Heike's testimony I'm finding this easier, Rod welcome good to have you my man and then I'm not
sure how to say is it Nkechi but welcome please correct me on how to say your name right
Nkechi, Nkechi, Nkechi that's how I say it, awesome, Nkechi, yeah, Nkechi welcome where are you based?
Thank you, San Francisco, San Francisco, San Francisco, California, oh come on so good some of our team
from Raising Royalty are not too far from you so that is cool, welcome, welcome, welcome I think
this is your first time joining us live right? Yeah this is I wasn't I'm not exactly sure I just
I just clicked on it I've been getting some emails I know I signed up but I'm not 100%
sure what this class is but I like the word Sonship and I just want to listen in, yeah absolutely so
just a heads up for you to help you get context I know we've got people joining in pretty much
every day into the online school of Sonship so a little bit of heads up for you is that this
session is session number nine on the Open Heaven Masterclass so we've been doing a
doing a master class which has been lots of fun and if you want to let me I'm not sure if
you're watching or if you're just audio but I'll just share my screen quickly I will be
oh perfect I will be able to get onto video soon but I can see your screen I can see yours yeah
okay cool cool well let me just show you everyone just quickly because I know we've got people
joining every day and I'm just going to do it I'm actually I'm just going to do a mute because we've
got a few random noises coming in at the moment I'm going to share my screen and then just show
give you guys a little bit of quick orientation for people who haven't been in the online school
of Sonship before so here's the online school of Sonship and the place to go to kind of check out
where all the content is because here you click on this guide section and there's a little bit
of an orientation to the group here then there's the foundation
course. Then there's the Seven Sacred Pathways to Intimacy. And we've got our next live coming
on Friday 10am New Zealand time. And this is the Open Heaven Masterclass. So we're at week nine
now. And then in this, in this section here of the Open Heaven Masterclass, if you want to,
this is where you'll find the session called Foundations for Exponential Growth. So if you
want to participate in the Daily Hard Things Challenge, which is where we're seeing so much
transformation, that video there, Foundations for Exponential Growth, that's the video to watch
to catch up with all of the details on jumping on board with the Daily Hard Things Challenge. So
cool, cool. We'll stop that share. Dorothy, welcome. Great to have you with us as well.
And a quick question about the time, Benji, is the 2pm your time, and then we convert it to our time?
Yeah, absolutely. So I am, I'm a little bit like, I just, I just give New Zealand time because we've
got people from everywhere in the world. Sometimes I send out a, sometimes I send out a time converter,
but other times I don't. So it's just chuck it into your time converter, New Zealand time.
And New Zealand only has one time zone, if anyone was wondering, because sometimes it
pops up different cities, but they're all the same time zone. So we're nice and easy to figure out.
So that was a blessing because I saw the time and I assumed that it had already passed, but I
felt led to click on the link and I was surprised to find you here. So there we go.
Hey, that's cool. A massive welcome. It's always awesome to have people for the first time. And
Joan, I see you there as well for the first time. So massive welcome to you too.
And we're going to jump on board with the action now, but great to see people having
cool things happening in the Daily Hardings Challenge. And just to highlight,
Heike, what you shared is that it's getting easier, right? Well, that's the thing,
when you do hard things, you expand your comfort zone. So you do 21 days of hard things,
and you'll find that at the end of that 21 days, actually, that's not so hard anymore.
And in the kingdom, it's really cool as well. In the kingdom, what you feast on, you hunger for.
So the more you pray, the more you hunger for prayer. The more you worship, the more you hunger
for worship, which is a really beautiful space to be in. So in the kingdom, what you feast on,
you hunger for. How about we get, oh, I think, Enkichi, did I say it right? Enkichi, would you
be happy to pray for us as we kick off? Oh, yes, absolutely. Yes, Lord.
That will be an honor. Yes, perfect. Oh, Lord, thank you so much for this day. Thank you for
this miraculous opportunity to jump on board and in line with something that you're doing in your
kingdom and with your loved ones. Lord, I just say yes for whatever it is you have for us.
God, that we would just surrender and be in alignment with who you've called us to be,
your children, your sons, your royalty. So yeah, Papa, I'm open. I just say yes and amen,
and thank you. Thank you for this opportunity. I ask you would specifically bless, bless,
bless everybody who's on this call. Everybody wants to be on this call, God. Everybody who's
taking the class in this season, Lord Jesus, what a time to be really aligned with our identity in
you. That's our sanctuary. That's our shalom. That's our stronghold. We want to be aligned
with you, God, and just hidden under your wing. So yeah, Lord, I just say yay, yay, yay. Thank
you. Bless your name. Bless Benji as he teaches us in Jesus' name. Amen.
Amen. Fantastic, fam. I see Ben, Rebecca, and Jessie jumping in here. I'm not sure
who that is specifically, but welcome. Great to have you with us. Feel free to say hi.
Hi, this is Rebecca.
Hi, Rebecca. Whereabouts are you?
I'm in Southern California.
Fantastic. Well, wonderful to have you with us. Thanks for jumping on board.
And we, if you guys want, now hopefully you don't have like trucks or, you know,
like angry dogs or anything in the background, because that gets a little bit crazy,
but feel free to unmute, guys. We're just going to spend the next five minutes praying in the spirit,
and then we're going to jump into the session. So if you feel like unmuting, you're welcome to,
otherwise it's going to get a little bit rowdy while we're praying together for the next five
minutes. But jump on board, jump in, and let's pray, and we'll get into the
session. Beautiful. So Jesus, thank you so much for everyone
who's here. We thank you for your presence and we say be
lifted high. Jesus, you are the King of Kings and the Lord of
Lords and we say be exalted as we lift you up right now. Amen.
I'm pouring out my spirit onto all clouds.
Because this is the time that we are waking up.
So I can send you forth, spread the message of the gospel.
Jesus Christ, the one who comes to save the tongue of the
Christian that I presented, he is the one who will serve us.
And with all the prayers I make, I will not be harassed.
That is my quick and simple prayer, Father God.
Wake us up. We are yours.
We are yours. We are your life.
Hallelujah.
God bless you.
Thank you.
More from the gospel.
More gospel.
I think my family is here.
All the prodigal sons need to come running home.
All the lost.
We thank you for the cloud of witnesses.
We thank you for every aspect and fashion of heaven being
mobilized around our lives.
We thank you for the armies of heaven.
We thank you for the sound of heaven.
We thank you for the mobilization of heaven all around us in
Jesus' name.
We say be lifted up.
Be glorified.
Be exalted in Jesus' name.
We say we love you.
We welcome you.
We honor you.
We invite your movement all around our lives.
We welcome you.
What I'm going to do right now is I'm going to, I'm going to mute everyone just now.
And then I just want to create a moment where if anyone's got, just really feels like God's
put a strong word, if you feel like it's going to be a really strong word, if you feel like
it's giving you a really strong word, just want you just to say, yeah, yeah, yeah, me,
me, me, and we'll unmute you and you can just share, share what God's just put in on your
heart as we launch in.
So I'm pretty sure that there's at least one person that God's dropped something in your
spirit that you should be sharing with us, so, just wave your hand around or drop something
in the chat or just unmute yourself and then jump on board and share that with us.
We'll just, we'll just take a moment just to wait on Papa, but I do feel like one person's
going to give us at least one, one beautiful word.
Well I do have something, and I feel like it's maybe a piece of something that is a
bigger piece.
This is just a tiny piece of it, but basically Ezekiel 34, where I feel like the Lord is
just reminding us that he's the shepherd and what his shepherd ship of us looks like.
And so I don't know if it's the first, second, or third one, but it's the one that he is
talking about who he is.
He's putting David as shepherd over lambs, but there's a way of shepherding, not butting
them around, basically tending to them, going after the lost, et cetera.
So Ezekiel 34, I can look it up in a minute, but I just wanted to give that as a blessing
to everyone, that you're called to be good shepherds.
We're called out of a season of weird shepherding into good shepherding, and he's the shepherd.
So when he's our shepherd, we're being well-shepherd, and then we want to be like him.
So that's that.
Beautiful.
That's so good.
Love it, and appreciate that very much.
Cool fam.
Well, there you go, guys.
That's Ezekiel 34.
For anyone who feels like a real witness on that, then just grab a hold of it and jump
into it and go a bit deeper on that.
We are now going to jump into the session on symphonio, the power of symphonio.
So say symphonio.
Symphonio.
Very cool.
Now, I want to start with Psalm 133.
So feel free to join me.
We've got a couple of scriptures that we're going to read, and then we're going to just
explore what symphonio is and a couple of stories.
So it's going to be short, sharp, beautiful, and some really cool, powerful stories.
You may have heard me share some of these stories before, but that's because symphonio
is such a core concept in what God has for us.
So Psalm 133.
Come with me.
Psalm 133.
Now, you guys probably know this already off the top of your head.
It's a classic Psalm.
How good and pleasant it is when God's people live together in unity.
It is like precious oil poured on the head, running down on the beard, running down on
Aaron's beard, running down on the collar of his robe.
It is as if the Jew of Hermon were falling on Mount Zion, for there the Lord bestows
his blessing, even life forevermore.
So I like that.
Now, we're going to jump again to John 17 in a moment, but just focus with me for a
second on the first verse, how good and pleasant it is when God's people live together in unity.
Good stuff, right?
Now, let's jump over to John 17, and we're going to check out a little bit more of this
unity concept.
Okay, so John 17 verses 22 and 23.
I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be.
be one, I in them and you and me, so that they may be brought to
complete unity. All right, there's our two verses on unity.
Now, sometimes we can get a little bit confused about where
the power of unity comes from, or where the blessing of unity
comes from. Okay, because Psalm 133 says how good and pleasant
it is when brothers dwell together in unity, for there the
Lord commands his blessing, even life forevermore. Right. But
that, that blessing actually doesn't just fall on anyone,
just because there's a group of people, right? That blessing
doesn't just fall at a stadium, when there's lots of people
gathered together at a stadium, right? So it's not just about
people gathering together in one place. That's not unity that the
Bible is talking about. Right. But there's another type of
unity here called symphonia. Okay, which were which
symphonia is really, it's when you kind of you come into, into
harmony, really two sounds. Two people come into harmony or two
objects, you know, they come into harmony. So symphonia is
about coming into harmony. But in this context, the power of
unity is not just in gathering lots of people together, okay,
you can have lots of people gathered together and no
blessing. Right? Because the power in unity is not in numbers
of people, the power and unity is in your symphonia with
heaven. Right? It's it's in your alignment and your harmony with
heaven, the blessing is determined not by how many
people gather together, but how aligned those people are with
heaven in that moment, right? But that's where the power comes
from. That's, and that's what symphonia is all about.
Symphonia was about that, you know, there's a sound that comes
off our life, there's a sound that comes from the way that we
think the way that we talk the way that we pray the way that we
live the way that we worship releases a sound. And what God's
looking for is unity. If we jump back to john 17. Jesus says, I
have given them the glory that you gave me that they may be one
as we are one, I am them and you and me, so that they may be
brought to complete unity. And that unity that he's talking
about that Jesus is talking about is symphonia, right? It's,
it's not unity with everyone else. It's not unity with the
crowd. It's unity with the Trinity. That's really what
that's, that's what symphonia is, is when you come into
alignment with heaven. And, and specifically, not just I mean,
symphonia, there's another, there's like different levels to
this concept, right? So there can be a sound coming off your
prayer life, right? There can be a sound. So if you think
initially, right, think initially on a broad term, that
symphonia is a harmony with heaven. What do you think about
heaven for a moment, right? Heaven is not an imaginary place.
Heaven is a living kingdom right now. There's a lot happening in
heaven. There's all sorts of different dimensions and realms
of heaven. There's the throne room, right? And the throne room
is a pretty rowdy place. 10,000 times 10,000 angels, thunder and
lightning. There's the crowd of witnesses. There's the men in
white linen or the 24 elders who lay down their crowns before
him. There's a living creatures, right? Covered in eyeballs,
which is crazy. And then there's the seraphim. Now, Isaiah six is
the only place that records the seraphim. And in Isaiah six, when
Isaiah encounters the throne in Isaiah six, and he's before the
throne, and the seraphim are there, the seraphim cry out,
holy. Now, if you read it in the Bible, in the Hebrew, they wrote
holy, holy, holy, which they probably didn't say holy three
times. But that's a Hebrew literary technique. If they
wanted to emphasize how intense something was, they wrote it
three times. So it's probably not necessary that they just
said, holy, holy, holy quietly to themselves. They said, holy with
such intensity that says the doorpost and the thresholds of
heaven shook. So what you see in heaven is you see a lot of
sound, a lot of frequency, a lot of color, a lot of movement, a
lot of vibration, a lot of everything is heaven is intense.
There's so much going on there. And if you just look at all the
different stories, encounters that we have of heaven, even
just in the Bible, let alone talking about the different
encounters that you might have had or other people have had,
what we can tell there is that there is a lot going on in
heaven, there's a lot of sound, there's a lot of noise, there's
angels, there's not just angels, right? There's living creatures.
there's men in white linen, there's seraphim, so there's different types of angels, there's
a lot happening in heaven. And so it's just good just to be aware right now. What I want
you to be conscious of is that, so say this with me, say heaven has a sound. So that's
the first thing that we want to know is that heaven has a sound. There is noise in heaven
and it's not just one sound. Okay. So the next thing I want you to say is heaven has
many sounds. Heaven has many sounds. Okay. Heaven has many sounds. And we are, we're
jumping into this. We're just going to explore this. We're going to go through deeper levels
of this, but let's jump now again to John 17, 23, back to that verse. I in them and you
and me so that they may be brought to complete unity. So what Jesus is looking for is Jesus
is looking for us to be in symphonio in complete unity with the heaven, with the heaven, with
the Trinity, whatever the Trinity is doing, we want to be in union with that. So let me
shout out a few things about symphonio. Okay. And the way that symphonio, if you're living
a life of symphonio, what that might look like for you. Okay. And some people who stepped
into that place of symphonio of union with heaven and union with God and how that outworked
in their life. So, um, we've got a few scriptures and a few stories. So we're kind of racing
through it today. Cause I want to get you kind of wrapped up by, um, before you're inside
the hour. So Psalm 27, come with me and let's look at what's symphonia looks like in some
27. Now this is David who does a lot of worshiping and he is a guy really positioned himself
with in a place of symphonia. And, uh, here we go. Verse one, Psalm 27, verse one, the
Lord is my light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life
of whom shall I be afraid? When the wicked advance against me to devour me, it is my
enemies and my foes who will stumble and fall. Though an army besiege me, my heart will not
fear. Though war break out against me, even then I will be confident. One thing I ask
from the Lord, this only do I seek that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the
days of my life to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to seek him in his temple. So,
so good, right? So the first thing, the first thing that we want to just acknowledge here
is verse four, the last verse that we read, which is one thing do I seek. Now this is
the secret power of David. This is his source, right? David has this one thing. What is the
one thing that he wants? Symphonia. That's exactly what he's after. It's just, I just
want union. I want oneness. I want to be with you, Lord. That's Symphonia. That's what he's
after. So what we're going to look at now is if you want to, like, you can actually see
in the life of David, the fruit of Symphonia. So check this out because one of the,
one of the fruits of Symphonia, of living in this place of union with the sound of heaven,
union with the heart of God is invincibility. Who likes the idea of walking, like living
your life, being fully persuaded that you're invincible? Do you think that your life would
change in any way if you were fully persuaded that you were invincible in everything that you did?
This is a really interesting concept. So let's listen to David again, how he talks, his mindset,
his attitude, because his mindset, his attitude is infused with invincibility that comes from one
place, right? It comes from Symphonia. So Symphonia always sounds invincible. Okay. So
this is something that you can note down. If you're not feeling, if you, if you don't sound
invincible, you're not in Symphonia. Or you could say, if you're not, if you don't sound
invincible, you're not in alignment with heaven because heaven always sounds invincible. You are
not going to catch, you're not going to catch God having a down day. You're not going to catch God
thinking, oh, wow, the devil's really got the better of us now. You know, there's not ever
going to be a moment where the armies of heaven are really intimidated by the forces of darkness.
There's never going to
ever be a second in time where the Holy Spirit just, just is
like, Oh, man, just Oh, man, what have we done? What have we
done? Wow, this is not working out. Well. I feel like I've lost
hope for Yeah, no, I've lost it. I've lost hope. That does not
exist in the realm of Symphonia. What exists as a constant as a
perpetual is something that never changes or shifts in the
realm of Symphonia. When you live in the realm of Symphonia,
you always live in the realm of invincibility. Now, this is a
double edged sword, right? Some people will hear that and go,
Oh, and like have a reactive mindset, go, Oh, well, I'm not
living there and that and feel confronted by it, right? That's
not my point, right? My point is not to have you confronted by if
you feel like you aren't living in that place of Symphonia, and
if you aren't living in invincibility, I don't, I'm not,
I'm like, Hey, let's go way beyond that. This is not about a
confrontation. This is about an invitation. Right? The whole
point is that this is an invitation into the realm of
Symphonia, that if you step into the realm of Symphonia, you step
into the realm of invincibility, and you live in the same place
that David lived. And let's just check this out again, because
this is wild. The Lord is my light and my salvation, whom
shall I fear? So Symphonia was fearless. The Lord is the
stronghold of my life of whom shall I be afraid? It's
fearlessness. When the wicked advance against me to devour me,
it is my enemies and my foes who will stumble and fall. That's
outrageous confidence, but it goes beyond outrageous
confidence. The next line is, though an army besiege me, my
heart will not fear, though war break out against me, even then
I will be confident. How wild is that? Like one man versus an
army, and he feels invincible. So that is glorious. So that's
one of the first points. Symphonia always sounds
invincible. If you don't sound invincible, the great news is
that Symphonia is an invitation. It's a place, it's a realm, it's
a dimension that you can live in. And when you live in that
realm, that dimension, that place of Symphonia, which is the
place of union, not with a whole bunch of people, but actual
union with God. You can be in a church meeting of thousands of
people, and actually people can be scared and afraid. You know,
that's exactly what you had going into the promised land,
right? They were all the people of God. But you know, hundreds
of thousands of them were living in fear, and only a few of them
were weren't afraid. Joshua and Caleb, they weren't afraid, but
they were the only you know, Joshua and Caleb and Moses were
the only ones that had Symphonia out of you know, what might have
been a million or more people. There was only three there that
were in this place of Symphonia. So it doesn't matter if you
like it doesn't matter what the crowd's feeling or the crowd's
thinking. If you're in a place of Symphonia, it's a place of
invincibility and God's inviting you to live there. Symphonia,
here's another cool one. Symphonia always sounds like
delight. Right? Symphonia always sounds like delight, delight
yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your
heart. I am I had this really challenging experience. A number
of years ago, I was helping some people out in this really
significant kingdom project. And the project needed a million US
dollars in like a few days. And I was like, wow, God, that's a
big deal. And he said to me, the sound of your delight will be
the sound of your breakthrough. So I was like, sweet, I'm just
going to position myself in this place of delight. So I just
forget, I just delighted myself in the Lord just began delighting
myself in the Lord. Yeah. And you know what, we got the
breakthrough and we had the cash of a million US dollars and just
in a few days. Right. And I mean, it wasn't my money, but it
was for a project. And so the sound of your delight will be
the sound of your breakthrough. And what happens is that God
starts moving on your behalf when you live in a place of
Symphonia, right? Symphonia releases the momentum of heaven
before you and it causes supernatural breakthroughs to
take place. It mobilizes angels. There's so much that you don't
even have to pray if you just position yourself in Symphonia,
right? If you position yourself in Symphonia, you'll see the
frequencies of heaven going before you. You'll see that
angels are attracted to Symphonia. You'll see
that heaven is attracted to Symphonia. So if you want an
angelic, like activation around your life, then sound like
heaven, and heaven is attracted to heaven. If you want to
attract demons around your life, moan, grizzle, backstab, talk,
bicker, complain, and you'll attract demons like flies to a
carcass. Right? But if you worship, if you carry the sound
of delight, if you carry the sound of heaven, you'll attract
angels, like bees to a, to a flower. So kind of works like
that. So if you want the momentum of heaven breakout,
right, where God acts supernaturally on your behalf,
carry Symphonia, and carry the sound of delight. Let's check
out, jump with me to 2 Chronicles chapter 20. Okay,
2 Chronicles chapter 20. Just cruising through this chapter,
this is such an awesome chapter, but it's King Jehoshaphat. And
what's happening is there's three armies coming against King
Jehoshaphat. And he's like, Oh my gosh, what am I supposed to
do against three armies? Now, I want you to think about this,
right? Because sometimes this is how God will bless you. Okay,
here's God, you know, the Trinity is sitting around and
thinking, man, how can we bless Jehoshaphat? We just love his
faith. We love how Jehoshaphat's living. What can we do? And I
know what we'll do. I know how to bless him. We will send three
armies to attack him. So wait for it, okay? Because this
mobilization of three armies to attack Jehoshaphat, is it really
the devil? Or is God actually positioning Jehoshaphat for
outrageous blessing? Okay. And I want to say this to you, because
we always face storms. But there's a mindset that actually
empowers you to be victorious over the storm before the storm
even hits, which is the ability to see the blessing in the
blindside before the breakthrough. Knowing that God
works all things out for your good, enables you to interpret
every storm as a blessing in the making. Which when you can
interpret every storm as a blessing in the making, and
you're just looking for where God's bringing your provision
through the storm, like what we often don't realize is that this
storm is bringing the provision that you need for the next
season. Now, one of the reasons why we get so worked up by the
storms is we interpret storms poorly, or we interpret storms
wrongly, right? The storm carries the provision for your
next season. Right? The storm is not there to destroy you, the
storm is there to make you. God works all things out for the
good of those who love him who are called according to his
purpose. Now, you know, you could interpret a storm wrongly
and just go into depression, right? There's no symphonio on
that. And if you step into that place, you step out of the realm
of symphonio, and the realm of symphonio is the realm of
blessing. So you just step out of the realm of blessing into
the realm of darkness into the place of the curse, you step out
of symphonio, and you position yourself to be, you know, to be
to experience loss, you position yourself as yourself to
experience harm. When you stay in the place of symphonio, you
can interpret the storm as the source of your provision for the
season that God is calling you into. So let's read this
quickly. Hey, Enkichi, good to see your face there, my friend.
So here's what happens. All of Israel, this is my this is the
Benji paraphrased version, all of Israel stresses out
completely, they all think they're going to die, they pray
and they fast and fortunately, someone gets a word of the Lord
and God says to take action. So I'm just going to jump in here
at verse 20. Early in the morning, they left for the
desert of Tekoa. As they set out, Jehoshaphat stood and said,
Listen to me, Judah and people of Jerusalem have faith in the
Lord your God, and you will be upheld, have faith in his
prophets, and you will be successful. After consulting the
people, Jehoshaphat appointed men to sing to the Lord and to
praise him for the splendor of his holiness, as they went out
ahead of the army saying, Give thanks to the Lord, his love
endures forever. As they began to sing and praise, say as they
began to sing and praise. What is that? Symphonio, they're
stepping into a place of symphonio, where there are
lines
with the sound of Heaven,
and when you align with the sound of heaven,
you release the momentum of heaven.
You become like a beautiful flower
and the honeybees come to it.
When you carry the sound of heaven,
you attract heaven.
You're gonna see angels breakout,
you're gonna see signs,
you're gonna see wonders,
you're gonna see miracles,
you're gonna see the sovereign hand of God.
You're gonna see outpourings.
You're gonna see awakenings.
You're gonna see revivals.
You're gonna see a move of the spirit of God.
You're gonna see reality bend according to your faith.
You're gonna see circumstances change.
Things like reality cannot contend
with the power of symphonia.
It causes supernatural outbreaks
that shift people,
shift mindset,
shift circumstances.
Reality bends in the context of symphonia.
This is wild.
So watch how reality bends.
As they began to sing and praise,
the Lord set ambushes against the men of Amon
and Moab and Mount Seir,
who were invading Judah and they were defeated.
The Ammonites and Moabites rose up against the men
from Mount Seir to destroy and annihilate them.
After they finished slaughtering the men from Seir,
they helped to destroy one another.
When the men of Judah came to the place
that overlooks the desert
and looked toward the vast army,
they saw only dead bodies lying on the ground.
No one had escaped.
So Jehoshaphat and his men went to carry off their plunder
and they found among them a great amount of equipment
and clothing and also articles of value,
more than they could take away.
There was so much plunder
that it took three days to collect it.
Wow.
Right?
The storm is not there to break you,
it's there to make you.
If you interpret the storm correctly,
you'll see that the storm is carrying the provision
for your next season.
So there's a bliss.
So here's the thing.
Symphonio sees the blessing in the blind side
before the breakthrough.
Now that's when you hit boss level, right?
And that's where David was.
That's what invincibility looks like.
David said, you know,
though war break out against me,
even then will I be confident.
That is crazy and it's not like,
he's not being poetic.
He knows what that's like to be surrounded by an enemy.
He knows what it's like to have an army
surround him and everyone wanting him dead.
And he says, you know what?
It doesn't matter.
You put me wherever I've been,
I've been invincible in my heart
because I carry Symphonio.
Wild.
Okay.
We've got a couple more good juicy bits for you.
Here's the next thing,
is that Symphonio always has a strategy.
Right?
Say that with me.
Symphonio always has a strategy.
In John 5, 19, Jesus said,
I do only what I see the father doing.
Right?
That right there is where you're gonna get your strategy
when you live in Symphonio.
When you live in harmony with heaven,
your eyes are on heaven, right?
Everything you do is in cadence with heaven.
Everything you do is in harmony.
Your thoughts, your heart, your actions,
everything is a dance that's danced in harmony
in Symphonio with heaven.
Jesus did it.
He said in John 5, 19,
I do only what I see the father doing.
What's that?
That is Symphonio.
That's union of movement, of thought, of action, of intent.
Everything is in harmony and union with God, with heaven.
Beautiful.
So, one thing I'll say is just on the strategy side of things
is that, man, it is true.
My whole life is lived out of this place of,
it's kind of feels like this is what my whole life looks like.
God calls me to do something that I have no capacity to do.
And I'm like, I'm gonna do it.
I'm gonna do it.
He calls me to do something that I have no capacity to do.
And I say, yes.
Being really confident that it's gonna work,
having no idea how it will work.
But not knowing how it will work,
but just knowing that God always has a strategy in play.
And I don't have to develop the strategy.
I just have to keep my eyes on him
and he'll drop the strategy.
I don't have to come up with a strategy.
I just have to keep my eyes on him.
And this happens to me week after week after week
that I don't know how it's gonna work out.
I don't know how we're gonna do what we're gonna do,
but I know that there's always a strategy.
So my confidence isn't in what I'm gonna do.
I'm going to do all my creativity, my confidence is in the fact that he's always got a strategy
in time. And at the time, God sends wisdom that paves the way for breakthrough that I could not
have imagined. I'm like, wow, God. And it's also usually in times where I feel like, holy moly,
how am I going to deal with this storm? Last year, for example, I'd put about $100,000
in six months and everything that I had and all my smartest everything into starting this business.
And about six months into it, and this business that I'd put everything into
was everything that my family had to, this was everything that I had for my family to live off.
This was everything. And then it had a Facebook advertising component, and then Facebook banned
that form of advertising. And I was like, what? And then the next thing that I was working with
is that the platform that I was operating on started. I knew they were kind of new age people,
a lot of them, but I was happy to be there as a missionary. But then they started channeling
demons as part of the training. And God said, you're not allowed to use that platform anymore.
I was like, wow. But that platform was the way that I made my sales. Without that platform,
I was like, holy moly, I am stuck. So $100,000, six months in, my only stream of income for my
family, and it's over. Just like that, God's like, nah, you're done on that. I was like, what? God,
this is nuts. But then I was like, okay, but wisdom has a strategy, always, always, always,
wisdom has a strategy. So I was just like, okay, Lord, let's go. And then he,
in that moment, turned up, sent wisdom, and I had an encounter with wisdom.
And it was out of that storm that Raising Royalty was birthed.
If there hadn't been a storm, that storm that wrecked everything was the storm that birthed
Raising Royalty. So the storm that God's sending is not a storm designed to break you,
but it's a storm designed to make you. And we've got to understand that there's a blessing in the
blindside before the breakthrough. Because if you can see the blessing in the blindside before the
breakthrough, what will happen is that you won't freak out emotionally. And then you'll have eyes
to see. Because if you freak out emotionally, and you go into stress, and all that, you will start
losing your ability to see the blessing in the blindside before the breakthrough. And then you
get weighed down by stress, anxiety, all of this stuff, it starts blinding you to what God's
actually bringing you. So who is close to New York? Is there anyone here that's close to New York
right now? Okay, Linda, where are you? Connecticut. Connecticut. Okay. I actually lived in New York,
I just moved to Connecticut. Okay, cool. How close is Connecticut to New York? An hour.
The border is like maybe 15 minutes. Oh, that's really close. How close are you to Rochester City?
That's hours away. Yeah, that's far. That's, I think it's upstate somewhere. Okay. Well, we're
going to talk about Rochester for a little moment, because Rochester used to be
one of the most scandalous places in America. We're going way back in time now. So come with
me back to 1830. All right. 1830. And Rochester is one of the darkest cities in America. And
some guys called Charles Finney to go there to Rochester. And he's like, what, God, I'm not
going there. It's so dark. What a reputation. No, that's crazy. He's like, No, I'm not going there.
And then God challenged him in the night. And he said, No, no, no, no, no. Isn't that a great reason
that you should be going there? And he's like, Oh, good point. Okay, let's go. But Charles Finney,
he, he didn't really go anywhere without his main man, which not many people know,
which is Brother Daniel Nash. Okay, so Daniel Nash was, was Charles Finney's intercessor.
And the way that things work is that Charles Finney, before he went anywhere, Daniel Nash went
ahead. And Daniel Nash would start praying in the spirit.
Right. But oftentimes what Daniel Nash is praying in the spirit looked like was just rolling on the floor, groaning.
Now, what is this groaning all about? Deep calling out to deep is a deep utterance.
It's this intercessory groan and intercessory cry that has no words, that makes no sense, that doesn't look pretty.
That would probably get kicked out of most churches.
But Daniel Nash would just go places, they would pray, they would fast.
And like their prayers oftentimes just look like rolling on the ground, groaning and travailing prayer.
No words, just groaning in the spirit.
Now, that will look ridiculous.
Right. People got really concerned.
They would come and say they'd be like, oh, my gosh, who's this guy?
You know, maybe just him and maybe a couple of other guys.
They just be in the groaning, rolling around groaning.
And and then that's quite funny.
We're just speaking about New York and Janice is jumping on.
I think Janice might even be in Rochester.
So just one second. Let's wait for audio connect to connect.
Janice, can you hear us?
Janice, are you in Rochester?
No, I'm in Troy, I'm about three hours from Rochester.
OK, about three hours from Rochester. Close.
OK, we're just talking about Daniel Nash and Finney.
So what happened is that they got called to go to Rochester
and they took up the call.
And what they did is the key was Symphonia.
All right. It was Symphonia.
It was praying in the spirit and it didn't have to make sense.
All right. It didn't make sense.
They would groan. They would roll on this on the floor.
They would just let the spirit of God lead them in.
And whatever you say, it was a place of Symphonia wasn't pretty.
But what happened is that Symphonia cracks open the heavens.
And listen, if there's anything that the world needs right now,
it's Symphonia. OK, listen, you can't lock down Symphonia.
You cannot lock down Symphonia.
Symphonia is where the power is.
The power is not in massive gatherings of massive amounts of people.
That is not where the power is.
The power is in Symphonia.
So what God is looking for and what the earth needs more than anything else
right now is the power of Symphonia for people to grab a hold of Symphonia,
to step into alignment with the sound of heaven and unleash the sound of heaven.
And you watch how that breaks open and explodes
and rearranges reality, redesigns reality.
Listen, this is what we're called to do is we're called to redesign reality
and we redesign reality through Symphonia.
That is the power.
That is where the power comes from is in Symphonia.
So you get into this place where you align your whole body, soul and spirit,
every part of who you are, your mindset, everything that you are
aligns with Symphonia.
You get into this place and you watch as the momentum of heaven breaks out,
as awakenings break out, as the spirit breaks out, as outpourings break out,
revivals break out, fire breaks out, signs, wonders and miracles break out,
visions, dreams and encounters break out.
Heaven breaks out in a way that, you know, like heaven can break out
in a way that darkness runs with its tail between its legs.
When Symphonia really turns up, right?
When Symphonia really turns up, darkness flees.
And so what happened in Rochester is an outpouring broke out in 1830
and within six months, they baptized over 100,000 people in Rochester.
Not only that, but people came from all over the place
and it's recorded that they took that fire
that broke out in Rochester to over 1500 other places
and the fire broke out.
How wild is this thing?
This is where we're going to wrap it up.
I'm going to pray. We're going to wrap it up there.
But this is what you're called to carry.
So this is week nine of the Open Heaven Masterclass.
And listen, Symphonia was an open heaven.
Symphonia is an open heaven.
You want an open heaven in your life, in your mindset, in your heart, in your home?
You want an open heaven in your church, in your town, in your city?
You want an open heaven in your nation?
You want an open heaven in the earth?
Then what you've got to step into, what you've got to unleash is Symphonia.
If you want to unleash heaven on earth, what you need more than anything else
is Symphonia.
And if we're in it, I believe right now, let me just get
share some prophetic thoughts for you right now.
I believe right now, you know, we're seeing the greatest move of God,
the greatest move of God in world history.
Right. We've seen Pharaoh historically.
Right. Pharaoh, what did Pharaoh do?
He wiped out a generation.
It was, you know, he wiped out a generation.
threw them all into the Nile and said kill all those babies. How ruthless and heartless is that?
Right? Then the next thing that happens, you know, we see that type of thing happen is
Herod, right? Wipes out the generation, killing all these babies, ruthless and heartless. Now,
listen, I want to suggest to you that we are so desensitized to the reality of our own culture
that we haven't seen how heartless and brutal it is. But if someone came from heaven where
they don't kill babies, right? If someone came from outside of our culture, from another culture
where they don't kill babies and looked at our culture and how we kill babies by the
hundreds of millions, they would look at the culture on the earth and they would say,
oh my goodness, this is like the days of Noah. Right? And now if you want to talk as well about
this is another thing, right? Is that that edict of Pharaoh, that edict of Herod, that was a
governmental edict, right? Yeah? Yes or no? Was that a governmental edict? Well, let me suggest
to you two things. One, why would anyone think that evil has ever changed its agenda, right?
You should not be surprised when evil's agenda is twisted, diabolical, genocidal, maniacal,
chaos, destruction, hell on earth to the greatest degrees that you can imagine.
You should not be surprised that Satan hasn't, you know, he hasn't, you know, really,
you know, made some progress in his journey. You know, Satan hasn't made any progress in his
journey. He hasn't gone, oh yeah, like, you know, my heart's really, really softened lately.
No, it's always been maniacal, absolutely insane, bloodthirsty, hell on earth destruction
that is more chaotic and more twisted and hideous than you could imagine. I feel like
the church has talked about Satan, treated Satan like he got saved. You know, like, like,
all of a sudden Satan wasn't such a bad guy anymore. Like this, this is absolute craziness.
And the place that Satan always tries to take as the place where he operates from is government.
And then you've got Christians that trust this place where historically there's no reason to
trust this place of influence in culture and society. Like the whole concept of democracy
emerged because throughout history, no one could ever trust one, trust leadership. That was why,
that was why the concept of democracy emerged in the first place is because no one has ever
been able to trust leadership. Why? Because they do things like Pharaoh. They do things like Herod.
And now the earth, what we're seeing is that is on a scale that makes Herod and makes
Pharaoh look like they weren't that bad, what we're seeing in the earth right now.
The scale of murder and chaos and intellectual, intentional destruction coming from places of
influence and leadership are infinitely greater than what Herod or what Pharaoh ever unleashed
in the earth. But that's not the point, right? Because what the point is, the point is what
happened to the people of God as a result of Pharaoh?
The promised land. What happened to the people of God as a result of Herod?
The birth of a king? The birth of the church? What's going to happen to the people of God
as a result of the chaos that we're experiencing right now? It's going to be an unprecedented
unleashing of the manifestation of the sons of God on the face of the earth in a way that the
world has never seen before, right? Before Pharaoh, they've never seen Israel in a promised
land. Before Herod, they've never seen the church before, which turned the world upside down and set
it on fire. Listen, before what we're experiencing right now, they have never seen a global viral
outbreak of the sons of God on the face of the earth before. But that is what we're going to see,
and that is what is being birthed right now. So in the midst of everything that you're seeing,
I would encourage you, step into and hold onto this place of symphonio, where you're like,
David, you said, though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear, because it's a place of
invincibility, and the Holy Spirit is not afraid right now. Heaven, symphonio, heaven is not
anxious, heaven is not afraid, heaven is not worried or concerned, heaven is on fire. If you're
listening to heaven right now, there's the sound of war drums beating, there's the sound of...
heaven's armies marching, there's a sound of victory, there's a sound of invincibility,
there's a sound of an army, there's a sound of a move, there's a sound of an awakening,
there's a sound of an outpouring, there's a sound of excitement. The atmosphere in heaven is
vibrating with intensity and expectation for an unprecedented move of God on the earth that's
going to change normal on the face of the earth like never before in a way the world has never
seen before. So you want to step into a place of symphonia, you want to do only what you see the
father doing and you want to ensure that you personally grab a hold of symphonia in your own
life because your symphonia was an open heaven. With your people around you, you want to create
symphonia because symphonia was an open heaven. That's what you want. You want symphonia. You
want an open heaven in your heart, an open heaven in your mind, an open heaven in your heart,
in your home, an open heaven in your family, open heaven in your town, open heaven in your city,
open heaven in your nation. You've got to get into the place of symphonia. So let me pray. Papa, we
just thank you so much for your crazy wild outrageous goodness and we thank you for the
sound of the spirit that Brother Nash carried that unlocked symphonia and unleashed awakenings
outpourings and revivals and places and ways that no one had ever even imagined. Papa, we're asking
for that same grace to come upon us. Papa, as you upgraded the people of God through Pharaoh,
as you upgraded the people of God through Herod, here we are, Papa, the people of God and day of
darkness and chaos and you're saying arise and shine for your light has come and the glory of
the Lord has risen upon you. Behold, darkness is over the earth and thick darkness is over the
peoples but the Lord rises upon you and his glory is seen over you. So I just declare to you in
Jesus name, I say arise, arise, arise, arise in symphonia like never before. Arise in symphonia
like never before. Arise in symphonia like never before. Arise in symphonia like never before in
Jesus name. Amen.
All right, fam. Love you guys. Bless you and we'll catch you guys real soon. Lots and lots of love.
Have a wonderful day, evening, morning, wherever it is. Yeah, but lots and lots of love. May that
fire get you real good and may you step into symphonia like never before. See you, fam.
Okay, bless you. Can I do a closing prayer? Oh yeah, yeah, yes, please.
Yeah, Lord Jesus, I want to just ask you, bless this man. I'm anointing him. Can you hear me?
Okay, yeah, you got it. Lord, we love you. I thank you, God, for how you connect us supernaturally, Lord.
You don't need us to have perfect email inboxes. You just know exactly what you need to do for
your kids. I was just about to jump on another call and this hit my inbox and God said yes and
Lord nourished my soul. So Papa, I ask you this beautiful message of sonship, what it means to be
in sync and symphony with you, Lord God. God, not just unity, symphony where there's a sound of heaven
with us. Lord Jesus, I ask God that for everybody on this call they would be permeated with the
presence of you, that it is a symphony. They would hear the angels, they would hear you rejoicing over
them. They would have confidence to know that if heaven is for you, if God's for you, who can be
against you and to walk from that position of authority. Yes, Lord, I do believe that you
told us that we could do many of these things and more than that. So there's more that we can do to
walk in the authority of Jesus, God. Oh Lord, I just have a heart for that. I have a heart for
revival, for people to see healings and miracles just broken out on this earth like no big deal.
So Papa, I agree with Benji and I say yes and amen and more. Teach us, Lord. Grow us, Lord, in your
image so that we can do the work that you've called us to do and make it fun. We want to have fun
doing this as we're hanging out, just caring and embracing the sound of heaven and having the best
expectations for what you want to do with our lives. You are the one who wants to defeat the enemy.
We just want to come alongside you in doing that work. We love you. We bless you. Bless every family,
Lord. Every family. Tend to them. Get all their lives in order so they can serve you well. In Jesus' name,
amen. Amen. Bless you. Alana and I are live at 10am New Zealand time on Friday with the
Seven Sacred Pathways to Intimacy. So if you want intimate, juicy relationship stuff going real,
real deep, 10am New Zealand time Friday. It's going to be a blast. I'll be fine. See you. Bye-bye. Blessings.
