WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.000 Kia ora whānau, Embassy, whānau. Great to be with you this morning, oh no, this afternoon. 2 00:00:07.000 --> 00:00:14.000 12.30 it is, this afternoon. Let me come closer to you. I hope you're having a great day today. 3 00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:23.000 It's pouring down here in Gisborne, pouring with rain. But the sun shines above the clouds all the time. 4 00:00:23.000 --> 00:00:30.000 Anyway, it's good to be with you. Whānau, it's good to be here with these masterclasses. 5 00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:34.000 And I hope you're getting, well I don't hope, I know you will be getting blessed. 6 00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:43.000 Some of the inputs, some of the kōrero, some of the ministry that's going out across these sunships is kia ora iāna. 7 00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:49.000 I know it's blessing a lot of people. So I'm honoured to be part of this, part of this collaboration. 8 00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:54.000 And God bless those of you as you're coming on. So I'll just wait for a few. 9 00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:58.000 I'm just going to open up with a karakia, with a prayer. Thank you, Jesus. 10 00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:04.000 Hallelujah. Jesus, we just thank you that you are the same yesterday, today, forever. 11 00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:09.000 That Jesus, you never did a thing without first seeing what your father was doing. 12 00:01:09.000 --> 00:01:14.000 That everything you did, Lord, was out of response to what the Father showed you. 13 00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:20.000 That you were anointed to preach the good news to the poor, to heal broken hearts, to set captives free. 14 00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:29.000 But you didn't do any of that. That anointing never activated in your life until you first operated in the first anointing. 15 00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:36.000 So Lord, we just thank you for your presence. And I pray, Lord, that as I have this kōrero over the airwaves, 16 00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:45.000 that Lord, that your sons and your daughters that are watching, that it will pour oil upon their fire, ignite more fire within them. 17 00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:51.000 It will bring a refreshing to their soul. It will bring wisdom to their feet and direction to their hearts. 18 00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:56.000 Lord, of your plan, your purpose for each one. Thank you for your tremendous love. 19 00:01:56.000 --> 00:02:03.000 Thank you, Father, just for that love of God pouring out upon all these sons and daughters that are tuning in today. 20 00:02:03.000 --> 00:02:07.000 Thank you for your blessing. I command a blessing upon those who are watching right now. 21 00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:12.000 And those who will be watching whether live or afterwards. 22 00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:15.000 I release blessing upon you. I release blessing upon your family. 23 00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:21.000 I release blessing upon your whānau, your whenua, and your whare, your house, your land, and your family. 24 00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:27.000 In Jesus' name, I command a blessing to you. Amen. Amen, amen, amen. 25 00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:32.000 Well, this morning, this morning, this afternoon, who cares what day it is? 26 00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:37.000 This morning, this afternoon, tonight, we're in a kairos moment right now with God. 27 00:02:37.000 --> 00:02:43.000 And Jesus is here right now. And I just pray for those who are watching. 28 00:02:43.000 --> 00:02:51.000 I don't like just ministering the word of God. I minister in spirit and in the power of God. 29 00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:53.000 Demonstration of the spirit and the power of God. 30 00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:59.000 So I just command the release of the supernatural presence of Jesus to come to you right now. 31 00:02:59.000 --> 00:03:05.000 And just begin to dissolve the arthritis. Begin to dissolve pain in that shoulder. 32 00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:08.000 Begin to loosen up that shoulder in the name of Jesus. 33 00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:13.000 And all who are watching, Lord Jesus, let the radiance of your light, of your supernatural presence, 34 00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:18.000 flow out and touch bodies. And just begin to heal physical bodies. 35 00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:21.000 Begin to quieten troubled minds, Father. 36 00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:26.000 And just let your presence begin to bring waves of waves of waves of your glory. 37 00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:30.000 Lord, as I'm doing your korero, let, Lord, it be, Lord, Heaven's will, 38 00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:35.000 let all that which Heaven has today be released upon the earth of those who are watching. 39 00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:37.000 I pray this in Jesus' name. Amen. 40 00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:41.000 Father, it's not unusual in my meetings where people are just sitting there 41 00:03:41.000 --> 00:03:44.000 and they haven't come for healing and they get healed. 42 00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:48.000 That they haven't come for ministry, but they get ministered to. 43 00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:51.000 It's not because who I am, it's because who he is. 44 00:03:51.000 --> 00:03:53.000 Jesus is awesome and Jesus just loves you. 45 00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:57.000 And I just pray that with the release of the precious Holy Spirit now, 46 00:03:57.000 --> 00:04:01.000 just to go and to massage your body, massage those aches and pains out of you. 47 00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:05.000 So by the end of this korero, you'll be feeling much, much better. 48 00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:07.000 I want to talk about the two anointings. 49 00:04:07.000 --> 00:04:09.000 Do you know there are two anointings? 50 00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:14.000 In 1991, myself, my wife, my two children who were still going to school, 51 00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:16.000 we came to Gisborne, 1991. 52 00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:19.000 We'd never been to Gisborne in our life before. 53 00:04:19.000 --> 00:04:21.000 We didn't know a soul in this city. 54 00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:23.000 We didn't know anybody. 55 00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:25.000 And so we came to Gisborne. 56 00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:27.000 We rented a house. 57 00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:35.000 And then on the 28th of April, 1991, I hired a hall, a school hall, 58 00:04:35.000 --> 00:04:40.000 and I put an ad in the paper, Sunday service morning and night at this hall. 59 00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:42.000 We're starting a church in Gisborne. 60 00:04:42.000 --> 00:04:45.000 So we planted the church from myself, my wife, my two children. 61 00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:47.000 Four. 62 00:04:47.000 --> 00:04:55.000 And the first morning and night, 67 people turned up to those two services. 63 00:04:55.000 --> 00:05:00.000 Out of 67 people turning up, 12 dedicated their lives to God. 64 00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:07.000 At least six of them are still with us to this day, and so the church grew from four 65 00:05:07.000 --> 00:05:12.560 to five hundred in four years, did you get that? 66 00:05:12.560 --> 00:05:20.000 The church grew from four, me, my wife, my children, to five hundred within four years. 67 00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:21.120 It just exploded. 68 00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:26.720 So we had like, well, people would call it revival, I called it a move of God. 69 00:05:26.720 --> 00:05:31.840 And so hundreds and hundreds of people just started coming to Jesus, dozens and dozens 70 00:05:31.840 --> 00:05:35.120 actually, and over the four years that amounted to hundreds of people. 71 00:05:35.120 --> 00:05:41.720 I remember the first healing we saw was actually a woman who had AIDS. 72 00:05:41.720 --> 00:05:45.240 And as we prayed for her, the power of God came upon this woman, and she began to tremble 73 00:05:45.240 --> 00:05:51.080 and to shake, and she had hepatitis as well as AIDS, and she was given a diagnosis by 74 00:05:51.080 --> 00:05:56.560 the doctor that there's no cure and that she's got no hope. 75 00:05:56.560 --> 00:06:00.240 So she came and got a karakia prayer, we prayed for her in Jesus' name. 76 00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:03.600 Within about ten minutes, the power of God went through her body. 77 00:06:03.600 --> 00:06:06.460 After ten minutes, she said to us, I'm healed. 78 00:06:06.460 --> 00:06:10.460 So we said to her, go and get yourself checked at the doctor, get some medical confirmation 79 00:06:10.460 --> 00:06:11.840 on this, which she did. 80 00:06:11.840 --> 00:06:15.960 It took months to get the confirmation, but it came back three months later, completely 81 00:06:15.960 --> 00:06:16.960 healed. 82 00:06:16.960 --> 00:06:19.720 Not a trace of AIDS in her today, no hepatitis. 83 00:06:19.720 --> 00:06:26.280 To this day, she's walking around our city completely healthy. 84 00:06:26.280 --> 00:06:28.840 That was one of the first miracles. 85 00:06:28.840 --> 00:06:35.200 And then a man came to church, I read they'd been going about, I don't know, maybe three 86 00:06:35.200 --> 00:06:36.920 months, four months? 87 00:06:36.920 --> 00:06:40.800 And a man came to church stoned, and it's not unusual for people to come to church stoned 88 00:06:40.800 --> 00:06:43.340 or drunk or out of their tree. 89 00:06:43.340 --> 00:06:47.920 And he came to church stoned, and he was in pain in his back. 90 00:06:47.920 --> 00:06:51.840 And he walked in, he sat at the back, and when I said, anybody want to give their life 91 00:06:51.840 --> 00:06:55.840 to Jesus, his hand went up. 92 00:06:55.840 --> 00:06:58.800 And he said he tried to pull his hand down, he didn't know what he was doing. 93 00:06:58.800 --> 00:07:02.840 I saw his hand, I led him to Jesus, and then I prayed for his back, and God healed his 94 00:07:02.840 --> 00:07:05.760 back that had been in pain for years and years and years. 95 00:07:05.760 --> 00:07:10.960 He had such an incredible change in his life, that he went and told his best friend, who 96 00:07:10.960 --> 00:07:17.040 was a drug dealer, who lived down in the Uruwera, which is inland from Gisborne. 97 00:07:17.040 --> 00:07:19.720 And the drug dealer said, well, could he pray for my back? 98 00:07:19.720 --> 00:07:24.280 I've had a broken back for eight years, I've got two plates in it, and I'm in pain all 99 00:07:24.280 --> 00:07:25.280 the time. 100 00:07:25.280 --> 00:07:27.480 Can he come and pray for me? 101 00:07:27.480 --> 00:07:30.520 And so the message was relayed to me, I want to go and pray for this guy, which I did. 102 00:07:30.520 --> 00:07:35.840 Me and my, we went down, I prayed for this man, and God instantly healed his back. 103 00:07:35.840 --> 00:07:41.240 And literally within about, oh, maybe three minutes, four minutes, his back was healed. 104 00:07:41.240 --> 00:07:45.520 And this guy, he couldn't believe it, he was bending down, touching his toes, his eyes 105 00:07:45.520 --> 00:07:46.520 were as big as saucers. 106 00:07:46.520 --> 00:07:47.880 He said, what happened to me? 107 00:07:47.880 --> 00:07:49.600 I said, that's the power of Jesus Christ. 108 00:07:49.600 --> 00:07:53.600 He said, I can't heal, but I'm just a hose. 109 00:07:53.600 --> 00:07:56.840 And Jesus is like, he's the water that flows through the hose. 110 00:07:56.840 --> 00:07:59.320 And it's the water that gives life to the seed. 111 00:07:59.320 --> 00:08:04.040 It's not the hose that gives life to the seed, it's the water that gives life to the seed. 112 00:08:04.040 --> 00:08:07.000 The hose is only a carrier of that water, that life-giving water. 113 00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:10.560 I'm just a carrier of the life-giving power of Jesus Christ. 114 00:08:10.560 --> 00:08:13.360 And he's touched you, and he's healed you. 115 00:08:13.360 --> 00:08:19.160 Well, that guy, that night, he threw away all his dope, and he stopped dealing drugs 116 00:08:19.160 --> 00:08:20.600 from that moment on. 117 00:08:20.600 --> 00:08:22.400 And he gave his life to Jesus fully. 118 00:08:22.400 --> 00:08:27.680 In turn, he told his brother, who was also suffering sickness, I went and prayed for 119 00:08:27.680 --> 00:08:29.640 this brother, he was healed. 120 00:08:29.640 --> 00:08:34.760 And as a result, the doors into the Uruwera opened up, and we spent about three years 121 00:08:34.760 --> 00:08:36.960 down there working on the Mirais. 122 00:08:36.960 --> 00:08:41.400 And we saw so many miracles, cancers dissolving, deaf ears popping open, people having to rip 123 00:08:41.400 --> 00:08:45.560 their hearing aids out because the ears were healed, and they had their hearing aid turned 124 00:08:45.560 --> 00:08:46.760 up high. 125 00:08:46.760 --> 00:08:48.800 And so when I was preaching, it nearly blew the ears off. 126 00:08:48.800 --> 00:08:52.560 They yanked out their hearing aids and threw them onto the floor because they could hear 127 00:08:52.560 --> 00:08:54.480 without any hearing aid. 128 00:08:54.480 --> 00:09:00.120 And at least 60 people came to Jesus, just from down in the bushland. 129 00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:05.200 And every week, 30 people would drive up from Wairua to come to church. 130 00:09:05.200 --> 00:09:08.720 That was the start of our church in 1991. 131 00:09:08.720 --> 00:09:10.200 Why am I telling you this? 132 00:09:10.200 --> 00:09:12.680 Well, that's the anointing, isn't it? 133 00:09:12.680 --> 00:09:15.840 That's Luke 4.18, the Spirit of the Lord God is upon me. 134 00:09:15.840 --> 00:09:20.520 He has anointed me to preach the good news to the poor, and to heal the brokenhearted, 135 00:09:20.520 --> 00:09:24.120 and to set the captives free, proclaim recovery of sight to the blind. 136 00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:26.360 So that's the anointing. 137 00:09:26.360 --> 00:09:29.240 That's probably the anointing most Christians know about. 138 00:09:29.240 --> 00:09:32.680 They don't realize that there's another anointing. 139 00:09:32.680 --> 00:09:35.480 That Luke 4.18, that's the second anointing. 140 00:09:35.480 --> 00:09:39.560 And I want to talk to you this morning about the two anointings, okay? 141 00:09:39.600 --> 00:09:41.440 There are two anointings. 142 00:09:41.440 --> 00:09:46.680 And the second anointing, although it's powerful, although it's important, it's not the most 143 00:09:46.680 --> 00:09:49.240 important anointing on your life. 144 00:09:49.240 --> 00:09:54.200 If you only focus on that second anointing, your ministry won't last. 145 00:09:54.200 --> 00:09:56.240 You will burn out. 146 00:09:56.240 --> 00:09:57.240 You will burn out. 147 00:09:57.240 --> 00:10:00.000 It doesn't matter how many miracles you see, we're just flesh and blood. 148 00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:04.960 and blood and the divine power of God flying through us and thousands of 149 00:10:04.960 --> 00:10:09.720 people coming to Christ you're on demand all the time just like Jesus was on 150 00:10:09.720 --> 00:10:14.280 demand all the time because of the anointing but there's two anointings and 151 00:10:14.280 --> 00:10:18.840 one of the reasons I believe why Jess and myself have been now we've been 152 00:10:18.840 --> 00:10:23.940 walking with Jesus nearly 40 years this year December be 40 years walking with 153 00:10:23.940 --> 00:10:28.520 Jesus but we've been ministering for those 40 years just about from the day 154 00:10:28.520 --> 00:10:32.240 we got born again I was ministering within the first within the first week 155 00:10:32.240 --> 00:10:36.160 of being born again I was sharing my testimony at church I preached in five 156 00:10:36.160 --> 00:10:41.440 churches in one day and so we've been ministering walking with Jesus for 40 157 00:10:41.440 --> 00:10:49.160 years why are we not burned out we've got many friends many companions and 158 00:10:49.160 --> 00:10:54.200 our brothers and our pastors friends who are burnt out this is burnt out 159 00:10:54.200 --> 00:10:57.320 ministry has burned them out it's burned out their marriages it's burned out 160 00:10:57.320 --> 00:11:01.360 their families and and I used to wonder how come I'm not burnt out how come Jess 161 00:11:01.360 --> 00:11:05.960 and I aren't burnt out and one of the reasons is is because we understand 162 00:11:05.960 --> 00:11:10.400 there are two anointings and we focus on the first anointing above the second 163 00:11:10.400 --> 00:11:15.040 anointing the second anointing is Luke 4 18 that's the anointing where we're 164 00:11:15.040 --> 00:11:19.640 called to minister to people that's the anointing where you have to minister to 165 00:11:19.640 --> 00:11:23.400 people but there's another anointing much more important than that anointing 166 00:11:23.400 --> 00:11:26.920 I want to tell you what that anointing is I call it the first anointing you 167 00:11:26.920 --> 00:11:30.960 want to know what it is okay if you've got your Bible or if not I'll read it to 168 00:11:30.960 --> 00:11:38.720 you it's from Exodus chapter 28 verse 41 and God's speaking to Moses and you 169 00:11:38.720 --> 00:11:42.920 shall put this is the priest robes you shall put them upon Aaron your brother 170 00:11:42.920 --> 00:11:48.320 and his sons with them now listen to this and you shall anoint them you get 171 00:11:48.320 --> 00:11:54.560 this you shall anoint them this is one of the first anointings of man on the 172 00:11:54.560 --> 00:11:59.480 earth the anoint you shall anoint them why were they anointed why were they 173 00:11:59.480 --> 00:12:02.920 anointed this is so important that you catch this you shall anoint them and 174 00:12:02.920 --> 00:12:09.240 consecrate them and sanctify them that they may minister and this is the this 175 00:12:09.240 --> 00:12:14.760 is the key they are anointed to minister not unto man but listen to this they 176 00:12:14.760 --> 00:12:22.080 may minister unto me in the priest's office that they may minister unto me in 177 00:12:22.080 --> 00:12:28.080 the priest's office do you realize the first anointing of man is not to minister 178 00:12:28.080 --> 00:12:33.440 to man it's to minister to God do you know you've been anointed to minister 179 00:12:33.440 --> 00:12:39.240 unto God isn't that amazing human beings you've been anointed to minister in the 180 00:12:39.240 --> 00:12:43.080 priest's office we know the Old Testament that there were priests and 181 00:12:43.080 --> 00:12:48.440 kings but under the new covenant through Jesus Christ we're all kings and priests 182 00:12:48.440 --> 00:12:53.880 unto our God so you have a priestly office and as a priest the pattern of 183 00:12:53.880 --> 00:12:57.000 the Old Testament priesthood shows us how we're meant to live in the New 184 00:12:57.000 --> 00:13:02.640 Testament priesthood under Christ and that the first anointing on the priest 185 00:13:02.640 --> 00:13:08.360 is not to minister unto man is to minister unto God let me read you 186 00:13:08.360 --> 00:13:14.000 another scripture Exodus 30 30 and you shall anoint Aaron and his sons and 187 00:13:14.000 --> 00:13:19.760 consecrate them that they may minister unto me in the priest's offices in the 188 00:13:19.760 --> 00:13:24.040 priest's office you shall anoint Aaron and his sons and consecrate them that 189 00:13:24.040 --> 00:13:29.040 they may minister unto me in the priest's office and so the first 190 00:13:29.040 --> 00:13:37.200 anointing is ministry unto God every morning every day I spend time not 191 00:13:37.200 --> 00:13:41.640 ministering unto man I don't use the anointing to minister to man the first 192 00:13:41.640 --> 00:13:46.000 thing I do every morning it's a discipline in my life for 40 years 193 00:13:46.000 --> 00:13:51.200 nearly is ministering unto God I spend the first part of my day ministering 194 00:13:51.200 --> 00:13:55.240 unto God now how you do that's another story I'm just telling you about and 195 00:13:55.240 --> 00:13:59.080 giving you knowledge there are two anointings the first anointing is to 196 00:13:59.080 --> 00:14:05.000 minister unto God it's when you ministering unto God that he fills you 197 00:14:05.000 --> 00:14:11.160 it's when he pours fresh anointing pours fresh wisdom revelation knowledge words 198 00:14:11.160 --> 00:14:15.560 of knowledge he gives fresh understanding it's what I'm ministering 199 00:14:15.560 --> 00:14:20.040 unto God just ministering into his presence bringing my gratitude bringing 200 00:14:20.040 --> 00:14:26.080 him my attitude of of gratitude bringing him my my praise my songs I every day I 201 00:14:26.080 --> 00:14:31.560 bring to him recognition acknowledgement I bring to him my affection I minister 202 00:14:31.560 --> 00:14:37.420 unto God now we all want God to minister to us right yeah I just love it when the 203 00:14:37.420 --> 00:14:40.920 Spirit of God just comes when Jesus just starts ministering to me it's just a 204 00:14:40.920 --> 00:14:44.200 amazing we love that we want the Holy Spirit to minister to us and our 205 00:14:44.200 --> 00:14:49.640 services and we just love that but God said to me one day he said you know what 206 00:14:49.640 --> 00:14:55.360 I just love it when you minister to me I just love it when you minister unto me 207 00:14:55.360 --> 00:15:02.160 so I thought God you you want my ministry why do you 208 00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:07.000 You need me. You've got angels. You've got billions of angels and you've got saints up there. Why? Why? You would never notice me. 209 00:15:07.000 --> 00:15:11.800 He said, look, son, you have grandchildren. 210 00:15:11.800 --> 00:15:20.700 How do you feel when one of your grandchildren just comes in out of the blue, jumps up on your lap, puts their arms around you and says, granddad, I love you. 211 00:15:20.700 --> 00:15:25.500 I said, oh, I just melt. I just melt. I just love it. 212 00:15:25.500 --> 00:15:31.100 When it's just unsolicited love and love and adoration for my moko to the granddad. 213 00:15:31.100 --> 00:15:35.000 I just love it. And I just want to pour out more love to them. 214 00:15:35.000 --> 00:15:40.100 He says that's I put that desire in you. I made man. 215 00:15:40.100 --> 00:15:49.100 I created humans and that affection of your grandchild or children ministering to you. 216 00:15:49.200 --> 00:15:55.300 That's how I feel when you minister unto me because I long for your ministry. 217 00:15:55.300 --> 00:15:59.200 I long for your presence. 218 00:15:59.200 --> 00:16:06.200 So Jesus said to me, if you'll minister your presence to me in private. 219 00:16:06.200 --> 00:16:14.500 I will minister my presence through you in public. It's been one of the secrets as if you like to my ministry. 220 00:16:14.900 --> 00:16:20.600 I minister my my presence to the Lord in private and he ministers his presence for me in public. 221 00:16:20.600 --> 00:16:27.800 And it's a principle in the scriptures, isn't it? When you pray, when you fast, go into the secret place where no one sees but God. 222 00:16:27.800 --> 00:16:31.700 And when he sees in private, he will reward you in public. It's a principle. 223 00:16:31.700 --> 00:16:37.100 And so the first anointing is unto God. The second anointing is unto man. 224 00:16:37.100 --> 00:16:40.400 And the second anointing is only as powerful as the first anointing. 225 00:16:40.400 --> 00:16:44.000 The first anointing is about not just ministry. It's about relationship. 226 00:16:44.000 --> 00:16:49.400 This is how Jesus ministered. He ministered first to God and then he ministered to man. 227 00:16:49.400 --> 00:16:52.600 He never ministered to man unless he had first ministered to God. 228 00:16:52.600 --> 00:16:56.600 He used his anointing in his ministry to God first. 229 00:16:56.600 --> 00:17:02.700 What's the greatest command? Love the Lord your God or love your neighbor as yourself first. 230 00:17:02.700 --> 00:17:05.000 First is love God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength. 231 00:17:05.000 --> 00:17:10.099 Second is love your neighbor. It's the principle of the anointing. 232 00:17:10.200 --> 00:17:14.599 The first year we're anointed to minister to God and then we minister to man. 233 00:17:14.599 --> 00:17:19.099 Now, if you understand the tabernacle principle, the Holy of Holies, 234 00:17:19.099 --> 00:17:23.000 the high priest would go into the Holy of Holies once a year on the Day of Atonement, 235 00:17:23.000 --> 00:17:26.500 and he would minister unto God. As he ministered unto God, 236 00:17:26.500 --> 00:17:29.000 he had to be still and know that he is God. 237 00:17:29.000 --> 00:17:33.500 And then God would begin to speak to the high priest off the mercy seat. 238 00:17:33.500 --> 00:17:37.500 And the high priest, once he had ministered unto God, God would minister to him, 239 00:17:37.500 --> 00:17:41.600 speak to him what the word of the Lord was for the nation of Israel for that year. 240 00:17:41.600 --> 00:17:44.300 Then the high priest would walk out of the Holy of Holies. 241 00:17:44.300 --> 00:17:47.600 He'd walk out of the holy place. He'd go up beyond the outer court 242 00:17:47.600 --> 00:17:51.500 and then he'd speak to Israel, thus saith the Lord God of Israel. 243 00:17:51.500 --> 00:17:57.200 The high priest had nothing to tell the people unless he had been in the presence of God first. 244 00:17:57.200 --> 00:18:01.700 And you and me is God's people. We have nothing to give our people. 245 00:18:01.700 --> 00:18:06.000 We have nothing to share or to release to the people 246 00:18:06.000 --> 00:18:08.800 unless we have something from God first. 247 00:18:08.800 --> 00:18:12.700 And the only time we get things from God is when we spend time with them. 248 00:18:12.700 --> 00:18:15.100 Draw near to the Lord, he'll draw near to you. 249 00:18:15.100 --> 00:18:17.300 So the first anointing is ministry unto God. 250 00:18:17.300 --> 00:18:23.200 So every morning, my friend, my father, my sons, my daughters, my brothers and sisters, 251 00:18:23.200 --> 00:18:26.100 put priority on your ministry unto God first. 252 00:18:26.100 --> 00:18:30.200 It's not an event. It's not just something you do once in a while. 253 00:18:30.200 --> 00:18:32.500 I heard somebody recently say, 254 00:18:32.500 --> 00:18:35.700 Oh yeah, when I feel dry, I'll just spend time with God. 255 00:18:35.700 --> 00:18:39.100 You won't last long. It's not when you feel dry. 256 00:18:39.100 --> 00:18:42.600 It's a daily. It's a relationship with Jesus. 257 00:18:42.600 --> 00:18:44.600 It's a relationship with God. It's every day. 258 00:18:44.600 --> 00:18:47.800 It's a lifestyle. Ministry unto the Lord is a lifestyle. 259 00:18:47.800 --> 00:18:50.600 Ministering to man is a lifestyle. It's not an event. 260 00:18:50.600 --> 00:18:53.600 And I'm always ready because I've spent time in his presence. 261 00:18:53.600 --> 00:18:57.900 I'm carrying his presence. I'm carrying fresh revelation, fresh oil. 262 00:18:57.900 --> 00:19:01.600 And so that's the principle for the two anointings. 263 00:19:01.600 --> 00:19:03.800 The first anointing is ministry unto God. 264 00:19:03.900 --> 00:19:08.700 That determines the power and the depth of your ministry unto man. 265 00:19:08.700 --> 00:19:12.600 The deeper your ministry unto God, the more you have to minister to man. 266 00:19:12.600 --> 00:19:17.500 The less you minister unto God, the less you have for man. 267 00:19:17.500 --> 00:19:22.400 I wanted to share something else. Now, let's see Mark chapter 1 verse 35. 268 00:19:22.400 --> 00:19:25.300 Mark chapter 1 verse 35. We're going to see Jesus. 269 00:19:25.300 --> 00:19:28.100 We're going to see how Jesus operated in this pattern. 270 00:19:28.100 --> 00:19:30.700 And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, 271 00:19:30.700 --> 00:19:35.300 he went out and departed into a solitary place and there he prayed. 272 00:19:35.300 --> 00:19:40.800 So the background to this is that Jesus had prayed for Peter's mother-in-law. 273 00:19:40.800 --> 00:19:46.000 She got healed. And so the whole town came to the gates, 274 00:19:46.000 --> 00:19:48.700 came to the place where he was staying. 275 00:19:48.700 --> 00:19:52.600 And it says that Jesus cast out demons of the world. He healed the sick. 276 00:19:52.600 --> 00:19:57.000 So a revival took place where a great move of God took place in this town. 277 00:19:57.000 --> 00:20:00.000 So there are hundreds and hundreds, if not thousands of people. 278 00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:06.160 coming to this house because of the presence of Jesus and and so he's 279 00:20:06.160 --> 00:20:10.340 having a move of God he's having like it's like at your church that we 280 00:20:10.340 --> 00:20:13.740 might only get a few hundred people along on a Sunday but suddenly there's 281 00:20:13.740 --> 00:20:17.700 about 3,000 people out there and all the sick are being brought in the moment 282 00:20:17.700 --> 00:20:22.740 they get in the door boom they're healed and so for you and I we want to milk 283 00:20:22.740 --> 00:20:27.000 that wouldn't we we want to keep that revival keep that move of God going but 284 00:20:27.000 --> 00:20:32.580 Jesus says a great wall before day about maybe 4 a.m. he disappears he put 285 00:20:32.580 --> 00:20:37.020 he withdraws from the meeting and people don't see him leave because the 286 00:20:37.020 --> 00:20:42.500 disciples are looking for him and and so the disciples realize Jesus isn't here 287 00:20:42.500 --> 00:20:47.020 where is he gone this might be about 4 a.m. in the morning I'm not sure so the 288 00:20:47.020 --> 00:20:50.900 disciples they also went looking for Jesus and they climbed a hill and they 289 00:20:50.900 --> 00:20:55.420 found Jesus up on a hill in a solitary place by himself but he wasn't by 290 00:20:55.420 --> 00:20:59.740 himself you see he'd been down in Nazareth operating in the Luke 4 18 291 00:20:59.740 --> 00:21:03.540 anointing the Spirit of the Lord God is upon me to preach the good news to 292 00:21:03.540 --> 00:21:07.080 the poor to heal the brokenhearted so he's operating in the second 293 00:21:07.080 --> 00:21:13.480 anointing but then he said I've got to go and spend time for my father I've got 294 00:21:13.480 --> 00:21:18.160 to go and replenish my anointing and so he goes up and he's up on the mountains 295 00:21:18.160 --> 00:21:24.000 what does he do he's ministering in the first anointing he's operating in the 296 00:21:24.000 --> 00:21:28.280 first anoint he's ministering unto God as father how do we know that because 297 00:21:28.280 --> 00:21:32.080 the disciple says master where have you been everybody's looking for you come on 298 00:21:32.080 --> 00:21:37.200 let's go back to the revival I'm that's my paraphrasing there see Peter and the 299 00:21:37.200 --> 00:21:40.740 disciples has come on everyone's wanting you the needs of the people are crying 300 00:21:40.740 --> 00:21:46.540 out to you but Jesus is no we're going to go to other villages today we're 301 00:21:46.540 --> 00:21:51.380 going to go to other villages today now I don't know about you but if it was me 302 00:21:51.380 --> 00:21:54.940 I want to go back to the revival man there's souls getting saved there's 303 00:21:54.940 --> 00:21:58.860 miracles happening there look the church is growing I want to get back there man 304 00:21:58.860 --> 00:22:03.860 because you know that there's just a move of God there but not Jesus he said 305 00:22:03.860 --> 00:22:08.660 to the disciples we're going somewhere else today and and I understand this is 306 00:22:08.660 --> 00:22:12.020 what happened because he'd be ministering unto the first anointing 307 00:22:12.020 --> 00:22:15.860 unto the Lord unto the father father said to him don't go back to there today I 308 00:22:15.860 --> 00:22:20.900 want you now to go to another village why do we know that because that's what 309 00:22:20.900 --> 00:22:23.860 he said we're going to go to another village why do we know the father said 310 00:22:23.860 --> 00:22:27.620 it because Jesus said I only do what I see the father do I only say what he 311 00:22:27.620 --> 00:22:34.140 says I only hear what he says me what he speaks to me and so out of his first 312 00:22:34.140 --> 00:22:38.820 anointing his ministry unto the father unto the Lord determine his ministry 313 00:22:38.820 --> 00:22:42.700 unto people and the father said no don't go back there now go to another place 314 00:22:42.700 --> 00:22:47.900 and this is so important for ministers for pastors for leaders for people in 315 00:22:47.900 --> 00:22:53.060 ministry if you don't operate in the first anointing then the needs of the 316 00:22:53.060 --> 00:22:58.060 people will wear you out you will always respond to the needs of the people 317 00:22:58.060 --> 00:23:02.620 instead of the will of God you will always respond to the needs of the 318 00:23:02.620 --> 00:23:08.260 people into the will of God if you only operate in the second anointing and 319 00:23:08.260 --> 00:23:12.460 there's so many of God's people running around operating in the in the second 320 00:23:12.460 --> 00:23:17.060 anointing they're burning themselves out and and and their sense of significance 321 00:23:17.060 --> 00:23:21.380 comes out of their ministering to man my sense of significance your sense of 322 00:23:21.380 --> 00:23:25.180 significance doesn't come out of your ministry ministry unto man it comes out 323 00:23:25.180 --> 00:23:29.220 of the ministry of God to you it comes out of my ministry unto the Lord my 324 00:23:29.220 --> 00:23:32.740 significance comes out of my relationship with Jesus not my 325 00:23:32.740 --> 00:23:36.980 relationship with man my relationship with Jesus first I have nothing to give 326 00:23:36.980 --> 00:23:42.060 me unless I have something from Jesus and so the first anointing is my most 327 00:23:42.940 --> 00:23:48.020 it's the highest priority on my life on my ministry every day ministry with the 328 00:23:48.020 --> 00:23:54.620 Lord serving the Lord ministering unto Jesus how long does it take me well it 329 00:23:54.620 --> 00:23:57.700 depends whether I'm ministering I'm on the road or I'm flying somewhere to a 330 00:23:57.700 --> 00:24:01.140 different nation but when I'm on assignment if I'm on a special 331 00:24:01.140 --> 00:24:04.100 assignment I will spend up to three to four hours just ministering unto the 332 00:24:04.100 --> 00:24:09.180 Lord but generally it's at least two hours I'll spend ministering unto the 333 00:24:09.180 --> 00:24:14.180 Lord and one and just one sitting why because I just love it I just love his 334 00:24:14.180 --> 00:24:18.020 presence I just want his presence I mean what you know what it's like when you're 335 00:24:18.020 --> 00:24:20.540 in his presence you don't want to come out but you've got to come out you're 336 00:24:20.540 --> 00:24:23.500 gonna minister to people you go on the mountains with the Lord but you've got 337 00:24:23.500 --> 00:24:30.580 to go into the valleys and cast out the devils and free the people hmm so this 338 00:24:30.580 --> 00:24:34.540 principle is seen also in the and the book of Acts where we see that the 339 00:24:34.540 --> 00:24:39.860 disciples God said in Luke 24 49 Jesus said I'm going to send you what my 340 00:24:39.860 --> 00:24:43.900 father has promised but stay in the city until you receive power from on high 341 00:24:43.900 --> 00:24:48.540 until you're clothed with power on high and so the hundred that the disciples 342 00:24:48.540 --> 00:24:52.980 there were five hundred saw Jesus rise from the rise from the dead and ascend 343 00:24:52.980 --> 00:24:58.260 up into heaven but only 120 were there on the day of Pentecost but then I 120 344 00:24:58.260 --> 00:25:01.060 spent ten days 345 00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:06.080 unto the Lord. And then on the day of Pentecost, boom, God ministered unto them, and then they 346 00:25:06.080 --> 00:25:11.520 began to minister unto man. The Luke 4.18 anointing came upon them. First they had the 347 00:25:11.520 --> 00:25:16.080 anointing ministering unto God, and then the Holy Spirit came upon them, then they were able to 348 00:25:16.080 --> 00:25:20.480 minister unto man. And this principle is seen through Moses. He didn't go ministering unto 349 00:25:20.480 --> 00:25:25.200 man until he spent time in the presence of God. We see that with Joshua. Joshua would spend time 350 00:25:25.200 --> 00:25:30.800 inquiring of God before he operated in his ministry for his nation. We see David, that he 351 00:25:30.800 --> 00:25:35.760 didn't kill the lion, the bear, or the giant, or Goliath. That wasn't his first anointing. His 352 00:25:35.760 --> 00:25:40.400 first anointing was he would spend times in the hills ministering unto God. He was a worshiper, 353 00:25:40.400 --> 00:25:47.200 he was a minstrel. And so, ministry unto the Lord. There are two anointings. Make sure you put 354 00:25:47.200 --> 00:25:52.800 priority on the first anointing, your ministry unto the Lord first, and don't put priority on 355 00:25:52.800 --> 00:25:58.480 the second anointing, Luke 4.18. Put priority on the first anointing, and the strength of your 356 00:25:58.480 --> 00:26:06.000 first anointing determines the impact of your second anointing. And so, why did I tell you about 357 00:26:06.000 --> 00:26:11.280 the story about me coming to Gisborne in 1991, just coming back to that now, coming to a close? 358 00:26:11.280 --> 00:26:18.800 The reason I told you about when we came to Gisborne and the church grew from four to 500 359 00:26:18.800 --> 00:26:23.920 in four years, and 98% of them were from the streets, they weren't church people, 360 00:26:23.920 --> 00:26:29.920 these were people who were unsaved, living all sorts of reparate lives. Why did I tell you that 361 00:26:29.920 --> 00:26:35.600 at the start? I told you that because that illustrates the second anointing. That's me 362 00:26:35.600 --> 00:26:42.160 operating in the four, Luke 4.18 anointing. That's Jess, that's our church that was operating in the 363 00:26:42.160 --> 00:26:48.400 Luke 4.18 anointing. But the reason why I came to Gisborne, the reason why Jess and I and my 364 00:26:48.400 --> 00:26:54.960 family came to Gisborne, was because of the first anointing. Because I spent time ministering unto 365 00:26:54.960 --> 00:27:01.840 God in Oamaru, north of Tago. And as I was ministering unto God, two years, 18 months before 366 00:27:01.840 --> 00:27:07.680 I came to Gisborne, God showed me as to come to Gisborne. God spoke very clearly about coming to 367 00:27:07.680 --> 00:27:14.960 Gisborne and planting a church in Gisborne. And so, the church in Gisborne would not have come to 368 00:27:15.520 --> 00:27:21.760 if it was not for the first anointing. The church in Gisborne, sure, because of the Luke 4.18 369 00:27:21.760 --> 00:27:27.920 anointing, that's how it grew. But that anointing wasn't the reason why I came, it was the 370 00:27:27.920 --> 00:27:34.240 first anointing, that's why we came. And so, out of the first anointing, when I'm doing services, 371 00:27:34.240 --> 00:27:38.320 that's where I get the words of knowledge. Often I'll get them as I'm just waiting in the presence 372 00:27:38.320 --> 00:27:43.200 of God. As I wait in the presence of God, He's the one that tells me what cities, what nations I'm to 373 00:27:43.200 --> 00:27:48.400 go to. As I was waiting in the presence of God, He said, I want you to start a thing called the 374 00:27:48.400 --> 00:27:53.120 Warrior Activist Course. And I want you to go around the nation, and I want you to train only 375 00:27:53.120 --> 00:27:59.040 20 people at a time. And I want you to invest your life into them, and I want you to teach them how 376 00:27:59.040 --> 00:28:04.000 to move in the supernatural culture of the Holy Spirit to help bring back the supernatural culture 377 00:28:04.560 --> 00:28:10.400 into the Church of Jesus Christ. It's under the first anointing that the second anointing 378 00:28:10.400 --> 00:28:16.400 operates for this power. So whanau, I hope you enjoyed that. There's a lot of meat there. 379 00:28:17.200 --> 00:28:21.520 I haven't got time to talk to you about how do you minister unto the Lord. It's pretty simple, 380 00:28:21.520 --> 00:28:25.600 you know how to do it. You know, I don't have to teach you how to minister unto God. I don't have 381 00:28:25.600 --> 00:28:30.560 to teach you how to worship God. I don't have to teach you how to adore Him. I don't have to teach 382 00:28:30.560 --> 00:28:37.520 you how to be still and to hear His voice. You know, I'm not here to hold your hand through 383 00:28:37.520 --> 00:28:43.280 everything. I'm here to help motivate you and for you to believe in God, but to believe in yourself 384 00:28:43.280 --> 00:28:49.520 also, and to allow the Holy Spirit to motivate you in all that you do for Jesus. So these Master 385 00:28:49.520 --> 00:28:54.880 Classes, I hope you've been enjoying them, but I just want to give a bit of a plug. There's 386 00:28:54.880 --> 00:29:01.200 something coming up soon. It's called the Online School of Sonship. Now the Online School of 387 00:29:01.200 --> 00:29:08.560 Sonship, it's going to take this to a deeper level because we want to raise world changers, 388 00:29:08.560 --> 00:29:14.880 history makers, nation shakers. And to do that, we're going to have to go a bit deeper into 389 00:29:14.880 --> 00:29:20.800 training and to teaching, not just teaching, not just academic, but training. And so Online School 390 00:29:20.800 --> 00:29:25.840 of Sonship will be coming up. So keep your eyes open on the Embassy for that and Benji will be 391 00:29:25.840 --> 00:29:30.880 letting you know sooner or later. But anyway, I hope you've enjoyed that. If you've been 392 00:29:30.880 --> 00:29:36.080 healed while you've been watching this kōrero, if you've been healed, just send me a message and 393 00:29:36.080 --> 00:29:42.880 just say, Jesus healed me. Why? Why should you tell me? Because it honors Jesus. It honors Jesus. 394 00:29:42.880 --> 00:29:50.000 To testify is to glorify, but to not testify does not glorify Jesus. And so I thank you, 395 00:29:50.000 --> 00:29:54.240 Father, for that back that's being straightened right now. I thank you, Heavenly Father, for 396 00:29:54.240 --> 00:29:59.840 that infection and the blood being healed right now for 397 00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:04.640 that infection been driven out of the blood for those sores are going to begin to dry up now 398 00:30:04.640 --> 00:30:08.480 and that your strength is going to return and even your appetite. I thank you for those Lord 399 00:30:08.480 --> 00:30:12.800 who you're healing and I thank you that you're the same yesterday today forever. 400 00:30:12.800 --> 00:30:18.960 Thank you in Jesus name. Amen. Okay whānau, kakete anō. Bless you.
