Easter Sunday MirrorWord Zoom Gathering with Lydia and Francois DuToit

What a truly meaningful and beautiful Easter Sunday we shared through the message from Lydia and Francois du Toit. Every moment felt rich and life-giving, and it’s something we will carry with us and revisit for years to come.

I hope you were deeply blessed by this gift—hearing their hearts as they spoke about our co-resurrection and our full inclusion in Christ. There is such joy and clarity in this truth, and it ignites something powerful within—a fresh fire, a deeper awareness of who we are.

This morning was more than just listening—it was an experience, a reminder, an awakening.

We are so grateful for what was shared and for the life it continues to bring.

dwelling you know we find life we we find life more abundantly we we've been um it's sad how we've as a christian community worldwide over years allowed ourselves to be stolen from to be robbed of the very reality of what jesus accomplished when he cried it's finished he says i've done something can we start or not oh yes why don't we just can everybody please mute because what will happen is it will echo back when friends was talking and and and lydia's talking and we do not want that so if you could please go up in the corner and mute por favor that would be wonderful and then I think uh we this goes without the same we have Francisman Lydia and like he was saying this is the reason why we started all this is the mere word Bible and our passion for it and love for it we've known Franco and Lydia for we could say decades now and it's just wild uh the journey that we've had and I'm just gonna let since Francois already has started just take it away Francois and Lydia this is all you absolutely well uh uh uh a huge huge welcome to every single one of you wherever you are whatever time zone you find yourselves in Lydia and I'm so honored to just participate in in in this amazing initiative of Patrick and Pamela to to get these um meetings going you know and and for Ian starting from Wales and and the time zone here is just so perfect and for us it's four o'clock in the afternoon you know some of you guys just rising up and I think the um uh the the the Australian and the news new zealand folk are getting ready for bed or in bed already but here we are it's just it's just such a joy to communicate on a day like today you know in in this in this entire festive season season of of celebrating the greatest event since the birth of christ since the incarnation where we're in the genius of God he allowed this his beautiful son to be murdered by the very ones he upholds the white very ones he knew before time began before they were fashioned in their mother's womb he says I knew you and now in the genius of God we have witnessed the the most gruesome horror of of innocence nailed to the cross and in the in the glory of that moment God took away every possible excuse we could have as a human race to allow guilt and and accusation to hinder to to spoil the oneness that we were designed for so we we we we mentioned that just before we start recording how we've been we've so allowed as a as a Christian community worldwide we've so allowed ourselves to be robbed of the very thing that Jesus came to redeem he says in John 10 10 the thief comes to steal kill and destroy he says but I have come thank god for the butt I have come that you might have life more abundantly and the life we are celebrating today on Resurrection Day as a resurrection generation is a life that knows no boundaries to it and we've allowed those illegitimate boundaries to box us into little bonsai trees you know a bonsai tree those little trees that they grow in Japan of some some area you know they they're very cute you know but they could never bear the fruit that they're supposed to and here we are bursting out of bonsai boundaries and discovering and re-uenforcing the Holy Spirit's commission upon our lives we realize that we no longer know anyone all ourselves according to the flesh we've not allowing that the the that this the restriction of I'm just I'm just uh you know flesh and bone body you you I mean the cells in your body already astounds your your your your your size you know you're much bigger than what you thought I'm talking weight weight watching here I'm just saying you're much bigger than what you thought the universe mirrors you the universe cannot contain but the fullness of the godhead bodily tabernacles in you isn't it one of the most amazing astounding thoughts that that we host father son and spirit in our skin and as you know the Bible says that the book skenos we just mentioned it in the Mirabal absolutely wonderful theme there in the in the book of Acts chapter seven there's a wonderful extended um chapter on this but skenos in the Greek is the word that translated tabernacle and that's where we get our word skin from and God's in the skin suit as it were fully fully welcome and fully at home fully if if the God fits you like a hand fits a glove you're you're number a tailor made for God you are tailor made for the indwelling habitation of God we listened to a beautiful message by grand um uh cook just the other day and on he where he speaks about how the the old testament was was with the culture of the old testament was one of a visitation but the culture of the new testament is habitation isn't it wonderful that God has come to inhabit it's not just a little brief visit from time to time a little goosebumpy moment you know but it's it's the habitation of God God who has come to dwell and to engage permanently in human skin and the incarnation as key to unlock the mystery of the gospel that mystery Paul calls it in his one Colossians 1 27 he says it was hidden for ages and generations but the fact that it was hidden for ages and generations did not ever diminish its value. So we we we we're talking about an un undiminished value like the beautiful parable of the lost coin you know that coin never lost its value its lostness it was not the degree of the lostness that is the theme of the story it's the return to the Father it's the it's it's it's being lost but now found and to discover how found we are and we want to encourage you wherever you are on this planet listening to this recording or perhaps live right now as we celebrate the resurrection we're speaking a resurrection language that endorses who you are right now. It's not something you're hoping to become and you've got to continue to strive religiously after getting more holy and more sanctified or trying this or that or the other you know to jump through more hoops to to to to try and get more elevated you cannot get more elevated than what you are you know one of the most powerful sentences in the entire Bible is where Paul repeats what Hosea chapter 6 says in verse 2. The only place in this in the entire Old Testament that specifically mentions the third day resurrection includes you. Yes it says while so Paul quotes two in chapter chapter two of Ephesians verse 5 and 6 he says while we were still dead in our trespasses while not after we've really got ourselves cleaned up and we've reshaved and we've got we we we now we're ready to meet with with the Lord you know why while you were still dead you cannot go deader than dead you were still dead in your disqualified in your trespasses and in your sins he says God co-quickened you isn't it wonderful to witness a quickening that is happening across this planet a great the great awakening we're living in the moment of the great awakening God co-quickened you co-um elevated you co-raised you co-seated you together with Christ in in in in the throne room of God and that's where we are you know we're we're not trying to get there we're not hoping that someday we'll make the grade but Hosea says it's so beautiful and Hosea prophesied this and by the name his name means exactly what the name Jesus means as the prophet 800 years before Jesus Hosea declared this he says after two days he will revive us on the third day he will raise us up isn't it amazing it wasn't it wasn't a slip of the tongue this is Holy Spirit speaking by the spirit of Christ within the prophet Hosea's mouth 800 years BC come on that's larger than your diary I mean we've gonna go back in time that far and suddenly Hosea whispers a word that ignites in our spirits that says while you were still after two days after two days I will revive you he will revive us on the third day he will raise us up you are as co-raised as you could ever wish to be there's nothing that we can do about our resurrection that can make us more resurrected than what we already are Peter says he goes as bold as saying in Ephesians chapter in 1 Peter 1 Peter starts writing remember the fisherman he was illiterate with John the and and and and they were there on that holy mount and they witnessed the glory of God made manifest and suddenly Peter witnesses we were born anew when Jesus was raised from the dead something happened to us before we knew about it before we believed nothing about it without our permission God co-quickened us you must know that you begin at the finish you don't end up there you begin at the finish we play shoots and ladders and snakes and ladders in some countries here trying to just get to number 100 or so that we can beat the other guy and the throw of the dice dictates whether the snake's going to swallow me or whether the ladder's gonna elevate me. This is not about us doing stuff to get elevated this is by us awakening to the elevation that cannot be matched by anything we ever do religiously and we're not just going through Easter just doing some religious routine today we're just celebrating the day of the Lord because the entire book's about the day of the Lord you are living this moment in the day of the Lord don't hold out to some future expectation there's no future messiah on the horizon of time we are living in the day of the Lord this is the hour that has come this is the hour that we've been waiting for he says the hour has come remember when the Greeks came to see Jesus and they met one of the disciples and and they said you know we've we've we've been delegated by so we we've heard the rumors of of this messiah person here the crew the Christos that and we we want to see him we'd wish to see him this guy said you've come to the right man i'm i'm I'm one of his followers everything you've heard and much much more everything is totally true I want this and they ran to go and see him find another guy they ran off to Jesus they said Jesus the Greeks are here they want to see you and Jesus didn't say oh my goodness you know is my hair okay you know let's let's let's let's arrange some kind of meeting at least let's have some some parade or going international let's go yeah we're going international come on we're going international so so so so what love the response of Jesus yes he says the hours come because when he hears about the nations he knows that he is the desire of the nations according to the prophet he says the hour has come for the son of man to be glorified what a moment what a moment human history cannot record a greater moment the son of man to be glorified none of the rulers of this world says Paul into in Corinthians he says none of the rulers of this world understood this they did not understand how this the glorification of man I mean I had somebody other day that scolded me on on Facebook who says you just want to glorify man come on how could what what an embarrassing statement if we are the reflection of Elohim who says let us make man in our image in our likeness not as some kind of lesser individual that's going to hang around there in time you know and just occupy planet earth you know until I come Jesus has come he's come in fullness to dwell within you you are the exhibit of the Christ life the mystery that was hidden for ages and generations is now unveiled it is Christ in the nations and while we see nations in different categories we're not seeing the gospel because the gospel announces in Paul's understanding he says one has died for all what does that mean that means all died that it cannot mean anything else but all in God's economy in the calculation of God's faith Jesus died humanity's death that's the gospel and you know what brings him there the love of Christ constrains me it's it's agape language it's not theology good theology okay that's good theology brother high five no no no that's agape language agape says one has died for all you make the calculation therefore in the mind of God in the in the mightiness the almighty declares mankind was was included as included as inclusion can ever be all inclusion of course inclusion is the key word to the gospel if we were not included we're wasting our time and our breath to try and announce a gospel that carries no authority that carries no power Paul says I'm not ashamed of the gospel it is the power of God unto salvation oh and then the scholars would say well you must read the next verse you know why not because of the next line of the of Romans chapter 116 because the next line says uh it's the power of God for everyone who believes okay so you've got to try and believe this correctly so that you can also experience salvation correctly no read the next verse the next verse is the explosion of the gospel Romans 17 says why with the power of God bring me to a place where I'm not ashamed to declare this glorious gospel he says because for in it in in what in this declaration in this gospel the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith there's enough in that sentence to keep us going for the next 10 years just because if the power of the gospel has anything to do with what God's righteousness achieved then it's worth our while to study the righteousness of God because it's not the wrongness of man that we study the gospel is not about the wrongness of man what Adam did wrong what we did wrong but what God did right wisess is where we get the word righteousness from the from in in the English language right wiseness but in the Greek it is a powerful combination of dica two parties finding likeness in one another dicaosune it's God bringing us into oneness into oneness you see righteousness is not some grade that I make you know through the split of my brow righteousness is who I'm designed for for a communion and intimacy with a Godhead with Father Son and Spirit where I from my innermost being discovered a well of living water that is quickened. And the quickening of this well brings a quickening in the next one because the single grain of wheat did not abide alone it fell into the earth to bear much fruit and the fruit of the single grain of wheat is made manifest upon this planet and there's no government on this planet that can stop it. There's no government of darkness that can intimidate it because he rescued us out of the dominion of darkness this is the new creation this is new creation language he rescued us out of the dominion of darkness that veiled understanding and he translated us into the kingdom of the Son of his love do you know the sonship is a love thing that's why he says if you continue my word you'll know the truth what word Lord the red letter edition no the word that was spoken in the prophetic word that found flesh in the man Jesus Christ the incarnation language is that you'll discover the truth such truth that will free you and whom the Son sets free shall be free indeed it's not fake freedom we're promoting here today. We're discovering a freedom in Christ in the one who carries the likeness who brought likeness the invisible God made visible says Paul in Colossians 1 16 suddenly the invisible God breaks through the boundaries of our imagination and he takes on flesh human form and in human form he comes to declare us our likeness is revealed in you our likeness is redeemed in you and here we are this rediscovery what God has known about us all along he says before I formed in your mother's womb I knew you and then Paul celebrates this in 1 Corinthians 12 and 13 verse 12 he says and now we will know even as we have always been known it's the most beautiful knowledge to participate in this to know that I have always been known I did not invent this knowledge I did not eventually you know after I climbed all the ladders I could no no let's go back to Romans 17 he says in it the righteousness of God is what? Concealed revealed and how does it happen? It's out of access is the Greek word is the preposition out of the source the origin the origin of this faith remember Jesus is the what the author the author where does faith begin it's authored in him he's the only true authority of faith what man believes about God cannot even begin to match what God believes about them. God believes in you because God knows what he has in you he knows what he has in you and the mystery is no longer there to be hidden and to be revealed and to be the uh confused with stuff that we've carried in our minds but it's to be unveiled and yet the righteousness of God is revealed from out of the source the origin of righteousness he is the author and finisher of faith it doesn't say the finisher of our faith let's add it but faith faith doesn't there is only one faith says Paul in Ephesians chapter four so we can stop right there we don't need to pursue a new definition on faith you know let's get another definition of faith we've got libraries full of it already no no let's just go to the one faith that matters not that we or 10 billion other people believe or have believed or will still believe we are here to engage the faith of God but when the faith of God is in faith it be engaged it becomes incarnate faith ignited faith becomes incarnate faith remember the woman who who squeezed through the crowd and she wanted to touch the head touch the hem of he's go why was she so bold she was a woman with an issue of blood and and she had spent all her living on medicine medication trying to get over this and then the the the the the leader of the synagogue with a 12 year old daughter who's about to die he's he's now got the attention of Jesus and and and he doesn't want to share Jesus with this woman that's just making through here but she's come because she's read in Malachi that the son of righteousness will rise with healing in his wings and the Hebrew word healing of wings is the word translated hem the hem of the garment she knew that she was squeezing through her embarrassment because faith happened in her you see faith is not something we do faith is what happens to us when we realize the unfolding of the incarnation she realized here we are the Son of righteousness was present and we may squeeze through everything it was at us entangled to our condition and we can come and touch the hem of his garment you know what Jesus said he says someone touched me and Peter laughed he says Lord you know I'm this quite a crowd of people who was touching you but what what was what is it what was it that made the woman's touch different I have an entire chapter on that in the Divine Embrace book what was it that made the touch different because Jesus' power surged from him isn't it amazing that there's a power surge even as we speak these words there's a surging power across this planet touching people where they are in whatever condition you are because the hem of his garment is the Son of righteousness rises and is healing in his wings healing like a mother that wanted to gather her chickens under her wings he has come to gather you little one who feel forsaken who feel abandoned God has come in Christ to him to to in to embrace you to bring you closer to what he imagined you could ever be in the closest in the nearness of the most intimate encounter you can imagine Father, Son, and Spirit that brings you to place where you discover that in my skin I host the divine one in my skin I carry him who said I will never forsake you I will never leave you I will never abandon you you'll not abandon it's resurrection Sunday for you to discover fresh and anew in your own person that you carry the presence of God. You carry the person of God Father Son and Spirit let us yellow him make man in our image Jesus did not come to display anything less than the fullness of the Godhead in bodily form. And he didn't come to redeem anything less than the fullness of the Godhead in bodily form. The single grain of wheat did not abide alone religion can try as much as they wish to squeeze the little grain of wheat into an historic relevance. There's no relevance in its history the relevance is in the now because it's the very present Jesus we're talking about he says I will never leave you I will not leave you as orphans he says I myself will come to you as much as I in my person reveal who the Father is the father is fully revealed in the man Jesus Christ. So the Holy Spirit will be fully revealed of all that the Father is and all that the Son is in your sonship. So it's a love thing you know that translated us into the kingdom of the Son of his love. We are here in the kingdom of the Son of his love no longer squeezed into the dominion of darkness where the thief comes to steal kill and destroy but I have come that you might have life more abundantly we announce life we announce life more abundantly to our planet today we announce life more abundantly it's tailor made for you it's meant for you It's meant for you. God has opened a door for us into the prisons in South Africa and whatever. And I'm telling you this that there's not a condition that mankind can find themselves in, individuals can find themselves in that could redefine them other than what God knows them. God knows you, God has invested Himself in your skin, in your personality, in the uniqueness of who you are. You are uniquely loved by the one who made you, who formed you in your mother's womb. So we thank God today for this opportunity to bring in sound, a sound that will ignite your heart with resonance. Did not our hearts ignite, was it not burning within us while he spoke to us on the way, and familiar scriptures took on new and fresh meaning. Because the familiarity that we've had with the Bible says is completely eclipsed by a voice that we know. We know his voice. We're not a hiring, you know, to try and deceive the sheep. He says, My sheep know my voice. And in the knowing and recognizing who I am, my I amness begins to speak. And I'm beginning to realize that we are one, we are one. He's called us into nothing less than oneness. He says in John John 14, and verse 20, in that day you will know that just as I am in my father, in no lesser way, just as I am in my father, so you are in me. And I am in you. You cannot get a clearer scripture in the entire book about what Jesus accomplished when he cried out on the cross, it is finished, it's done. If it wasn't done, Henry, let's say, let's write more books, you know, on more recipes on how to get it done done. Let's do it this way. Oh no, no, you haven't heard this one yet. Please advise me, you know. I'm also trying to deconstruct or unconstruct or whatever they call it. No, no, no. This is just hearing the truth and light shines in the darkness, please. Yes, it's not, don't waste another lifetime or another year or another day going through the same wilderness. Oh, yeah, but you're all delivered from Pharaoh, we know. But you know, God wants to teach you something. No, He doesn't. If the cross cannot teach you, whose death will? Don't wait until death, until you see him, because every eye will see him, every knee shall blank, because God has done enough to include this whole entire planet. But don't waste your life in darkness. There's a light that shines brighter than the sun, the true light that enlightens how many people? Oh, only those who really seek God. John 1, verse 9. No, no, no. The true light that enlightens everyone. There's enough light to burst through your skin for the glory of God. He says, Arise and shine for your light has come. Where does light come from? The glory of the Lord is risen upon you. The glory of the Lord is risen upon you. That's where the glory light comes from. And the nations shall come to your light, and the kings, their kings to the brightness of your rising, arise and shine. What an opportunity. Do you know that light becomes most relevant in darkness? And then in Isaiah 61 it begins with darkness shall cover the earth. Or in the context, it says, darkness shall cover the earth. And are we witnessing some darkness in the earth at places? I think so. We're not going to go much further in South Africa. I mean, there's a lot of darkness around, whatever nation you come from. I'm not speaking against your king or your priest or your whoever it is, but darkness shall cover the earth and thick darkness. Darkness comes in degrees. Not because darkness carries energy in itself, but darkness represents the absence of light. And so with veiled understanding, we have engaged a life, a life. I mean that's risky business we're talking about, to engage in life on planet earth with darkness veiling your mind. And all you have is just how many Facebook likes likes do I get? How am I faring? How am I doing? Am I okay? No, no, no. Begin with how okay you are in the sight of God, because what God has done is awakening you to an understanding. He has given us a mind to know him who is true. He has given us a mind to know, says John 1, John 5, verse 20, he's given us a mind to know him who is true. And you know what it is? John says, We are in him who is true. You cannot get more in than what you are. If your inner is not proclaimed, you're not hearing the gospel, you're not hearing, then, then pray for your pastor, your priest or whatever. If you're not hearing, even in so-called grace ministry, don't don't don't label stuff. Just come to a place of understanding because you've given a mind to know. You're compatible, head and toe, you're compatible to engage with God and to find the habitation of God present in your life, in your skin. Oh Lord, you are so beautiful. Arise and shine for your light has come. The glory of the Lord is risen upon you. The glory of the Lord is risen upon you. We're not trying to try and get you to get all the correct marks in your examination on how accurate your theology is. I thank God it's the knowledge of God that we're talking about. Not our knowledge of God, God's knowledge of us that redeems us. We know that we are known by God. We are known by God. Before you start any theology, begin with how known you are. Your Genesis is not your mother's womb. It's in the one who knew you before he formed you in your mother's womb. It's the one who wants to introduce you to yourselves again and make you realize that this is your hand, sonship is what sets you free. It's not stuff that you do or don't do. Son is missing out on sonship. Because we're talking about the son of his love, the kingdom of the son of his love out of the dominion of darkness. You see, fear holds no power there because perfect love costs out fear. It costs out fear. You know, if you read enough newspapers, you find that you be it's it's scary stuff that you have to somehow try and dissolve. Don't go to scary stuff. Engage your truth that sets you free to be the light, to engage the light, to let the light shine in the midst of darkness. What a powerful moment this is to live in, to be alive in the daylight today. He says, Whether the crookedness of this word, perverse word, you're the light shining. You're like the people who dwelt in darkness have seen a great light. Hallelujah. Whoa, what a blessing it is when you walk into the room because there comes light, there comes light. The load is lifted off your shoulder, off your mind, you know, all these mind-bending, twisting things that I've been trying to, you know, and I'm trying to go AI to try and help me. No, no, no. Listen, the stress, the truth is so simple. One has died for all, therefore, all have died. Anything I could possibly be in my skin under the old system was brought closure to. Because guess what? When Jesus died, he represents you. You are associated in Christ before the fall of Adam, Ephesians 1, verse 4. I remember I often use this illustration. I just spoke to one of our relatives, our kids this morning. Our granddaughter had just had such a lovely conversation with him. I said, you know, Omen Opi, we um we have been we've we've known each other now for 50. Uh it's our 53rd year, every 52 years that we've known each other since 1974. Actually, and people who know us would would associate us. When when the one person comes to mind, we they see Lydia and the Susan, how's Francois? Because we're associated, and that's just a brief 52 years, a brief time. But for eternity, you have been associated in Christ, you are one in him. It is impossible for the father to even imagine a thought of Jesus that excludes you. Every thought of the father is about what is man that thou art so mindful of him? That's a good question. You are his offspring, and in him you live and move and have your being. Let some Greek philosophers teach you today. Epimenides says 600 years before Christ, in one of his songs, just one line that Paul quotes in Acts 17. He says, Um, in him we live and move and have our being. And then he quotes Aratus, 300 BC. Aratus says, We are indeed their offspring. You're the offspring of God. That's why his mind's full of you. He cannot get his mind off you. The eternal thought of God doesn't get weary and exhaustion. Oh, it's you again. No, no, God dances over you with joy. He rests in his love. And as Stephaniah 370 is, then he jumps up and he goes into a twilly dance. Woohoo! It's you again, it's Pamela. Wow, here we go. You know, and God's just dancing, he's come and join me in this dance over your life. Doesn't matter what misery you're going through, what situation, what process you're facing. It's much better to face it in the knowledge that is in it with him. I'm not abandoned, I'm not doing this alone. Anyway, we live and move and have our being. What an adventure to live this life. What an adventure. What an adventure to share this life, to communicate this gospel. There's nothing that can give you greater adventure. I'm on the threshold of turning 71 tomorrow. I was adding such a great conversation with my oldest two grandchildren. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 31:31

Great eight.

SPEAKER_03 31:32

I think it's the sixth. Jan van Riebick arrived on the 6th of April, 1652. So Jan van Riebik and I arrived on the planet the same day. A few years difference, but the same day. But what I'm saying, I said, my children, you know, the beauty of this gospel is that it carries a history to us, to do it, larger than time.

SPEAKER_04 31:52

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 31:53

And we can engage in this revelation. Wherever we are, there's not a moment too fragile or to to you know stuff. Not to know that you are known and you are loved. You are deeply loved. God is so in love with you. God is so in love with you, He's reaching out to you through these words out of this clay box, full of wrinkles and hair getting lesser and whatever. But we are here carrying in flesh, in flesh, in incarnation language, the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, the life of the Father, Son, and Spirit unveiled, the rivers of living water gushing forth from our innermost being. You are carry within your innermost being the resource of God. Just open your mouth and speak. Just be in the moment. It can come out through stuttering tongues, it's not a problem. It's not how you say it, it's what you know. And you are God wants you to come and know what He knows to be true about you. How difficult is that? To come into an agreement with a father who knows me and who just loves me. No other agenda. But agape, no other agenda. I thank you, Father, for this moment of your agape that washes over our world. The presence of God in ordinary people. It's not our titles and our positions and how important we think we are obsessed to be, but Father, it's just life, everyday life. There's nothing more practical than understanding this gospel. But tell me more practically, you know, how does this work? Zip. You are the most practical being on this planet. Here you are. Hands, feet, eyes, ears, the seeing eye, and the hearing ear. The Lord has made them both. Paul says, when you read this, come on, here's this man, Paul. He writes, he says in Ephesians 3, he says, if you read while you read this, you will understand, you will perceive my insight. Actually, it can't be cost maybe I want the anchor. Paul says, when you read this, you will perceive my insight. Inside does not belong to some holy man who wrote part of the New Testament two thousand years ago. The inside of Paul belongs equally to you. Thank you, my job. Excuse me. It's wonderful to get emotional. Because love is a very emotional thing, but it's so much more. When the feeling is all gone, love remains solid. It's the most solid foundation. Because the houses are built on the rock. So when the storms break loose against this house, it stands.

SPEAKER_04 35:03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 35:03

It stands. Having done all to stand, stand. Here we are, wearing Christ, wearing Holy Spirit like a garment. What an opportunity. Thank you so much for your time. I don't know whether you want to. I'm pleased that your siphon was by and all.

SPEAKER_01 35:26

What a beautiful, amazing time. I feel there's so little one could share.

SPEAKER_00 35:41

Did you want to share something, Maria? I was nervous.

SPEAKER_01 35:49

You have a lot to share. Taking my time with it.

SPEAKER_02 35:57

You know, we have the as you said earlier, we have the kids down. And um it's just so beautiful to have a weekend of togetherness. We went shopping and we bought some food and created a space where there's just this indulgence of togetherness, yeah, and in so doing the reality of family and friendship. Yeah, you understand, and the intention of God in the resurrection of Jesus from the dead is to resurrect our understanding to bring us to the place that we can know. Yeah, I walk in the light as he is in the light. Yeah, there's no hidden in agenda in love. Yeah, God has no hidden agenda. Yeah, sweetie. I was thinking again what you mentioned a while ago already. One cannot understand the cross and the resurrection if you don't understand the Genesis story, the intention of the invisible God being spirit, commissioning their desire. Well, I'm using big words, but their likeness. I said, we are going to birth this invisible, unseen dynamos, this yeah, this being of God, we are going to put it into a place where the senses rule.

SPEAKER_03 37:47

It's a bit risky, God.

SPEAKER_02 37:48

It's a bit risky, and and he did it in such magnificence. It is so magnificently done that God deposited all of themselves in our spirit being to such an extent that they have nothing else up their sleeves.

SPEAKER_04 38:13

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 38:14

God doesn't have another moon. We are the the exhibit of the last move of God. Hey my bird.

SPEAKER_03 38:24

It's Jesus. It's Jesus.

SPEAKER_02 38:27

That's what he comes. And and I was just looking, every now and then, we've had rain for so long, but every now and then the sun would just burst through the clouds and illuminate. And I looked at it and I said, Father, I just want to stand in this illumination of dear truck to drench my consciousness. Everything about me to be drenched and to understand fully. What has died? That this that I've associated myself with for so long that helped me captive to this place of performance. It is the place of performance. And it has passed, it has passed away. Rest in peace, place of performance. Resurrection life in Jesus is my mybles, my food, my my everything. Oh my baby. Oh, I just I'm so so touched because I realize that we have had Easter so often and we've ministered and and may God by the Holy Spirit come and refresh us to that place of intimacy, that place of holiness and blamelessness, that place of union, that place of of collaboration. God couldn't do this without us. They couldn't, they had to remain spirit, but they said, no, we want to become flesh. God intended us to be flesh. In the skin suit.

SPEAKER_03 40:36

Yeah. That wasn't experiment. You know, God says, let's experiment with flesh. I love the certainty of God. You know, if we if we're tapping into the secret to the power of the gospel, he says, in it, the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith. Yes. That means that we are compatible to engage the very faith of God. When that woman touched the hem of his garment, what was Jesus' response? He says, Your faith has made you well. At what point is God's faith becomes your faith? The moment you engage, yes, she took a scripture out of Malachi's mouth and it says, The Son of Righteousness. I recognize the son of righteousness. Blindfold is gone, and faith happens. That's why Paul uh Luke writes about Paul's ministry in in um uh Acts chapter 14. He says, Paul spoke in such a way that many believed. So, where does faith happen? In the hearing of the gospel, the good announcement shows me included, yes, and and and suddenly saw in a man's face. The man's face. You cannot hide, you cannot have the same old face that just sits there, you know. It's not going to show faith. Faith shows up, faith shows up, it's very present, it's like in your face. Faith shows up and allow the hearing of the word to do that. That's why we exist as a mirror ministry for that purpose, for no other purpose. It's not yet to impress you with this or that or the other, but it won't impress you with you because that's where faith shows up.

SPEAKER_02 42:15

Faith shows up in your things of our humanity, the whole parcel lock stock and battle.

SPEAKER_03 42:24

He moved in this. Come to inhabit you, your God's address.

SPEAKER_02 42:28

And you never get tired of it.

SPEAKER_03 42:30

How can you?

SPEAKER_02 42:31

You can never, I mean, I look at pictures and stuff, and I see we uh the kids are getting older. I don't think we're getting older, but you never get tired of it. You never get tired of friendship, you never get tired of joy of seeing each other and joy of being together. God does not tire. You're inexhaustible, and God loves our presence, God loves our company, God loves our our tenderness, our softness towards it. Father, I might not understand it fully, yeah, but I yield myself to you to come and to envelop me. And I thank you that your presence, your indwelling presence is the is the force that that just eradicates confusion and doubts and wondering and anger and whatever, whatever. I thank you, Jesus. And Father, we thank you that even while we're spending time together today, that people will experience healing in their bodies. I thank you, Jesus, that you have come because you took upon yourself on that body in the cross, you took upon yourself not only our sin and our out of Shapeness, the marredness of humanity, you took that language upon yourself, and you spoke on our behalf into our darkness and into our death. You also took upon it the marredness of your body that was broken. And I thank you, Jesus. Yeah, that's a resurrection is the evidence, it is the quatancy of uh impeccable job done. No flaw left, no trace left, not a trace of sun. Otherwise, we could not have been and could not be with you right now. Exaggerate us with the knowledge of your love and your intention to and I thank you, Father, that in this handful or ten handfuls of people you have enough to be a voice to this world that is in so much confusion, that is in so much angst. I thank you that the voice of God through us will announce another yes lord, yes, Jesus.

SPEAKER_03 45:38

It's wonderful that we are brought into out of that dominion of darkness into the kingdom where the love of his son rules. Totally, it's a new kingdom. That's why it's a brand new creation thing. You know, it's like behold, all things are new. I'm so glad Paul didn't say behold the old. He says, The old things are done away with remember, one died four, therefore, all died. He says, From now on, therefore, I no longer know anything and any or anyone from a human point of view, according to the flesh. Because the new knowledge erupted in my heart. Absolutely. Because the therefore turns the if any man is in Christ. The if is no longer a condition, it's a conclusion. Therefore, because he represents the entire globe, every generation that ever lived and shall live, equally represented, loved, and identified in the one. He says, From now on, therefore, I no longer know you according to the flesh, even though we know Christ, we know him thus no longer. Yes, it's only one way to really know him, it's the way that he's revealed in you. So he says, then he says, The old things have passed away. Behold, it's a shift of your mind. Like Colossians 3 says, engage your thoughts with throne room realities. If then, Colossians 3 verse 1 says, if then we are raised together with Christ, what are we celebrating today? Yes, our being risen together with Christ. That's all. We're not celebrating anything complicated. It's not a another Easter egg or another bunny. No, no, no, this is this is this is if then you were raised together with Christ. That's that that's that's what a statement to make. I am I raised together with Christ, yes. But if you are, engage your thoughts. That's what you do, engage your thoughts to throne room realities. Yes, you realign your mind, yes, relocate yourselves mentally in God's mind. As I've been so trapped in what the latest news is about this one or that one, God, I engage myself to be saturated in the mind of Christ, to be saturated in that dominion of the law of light. Yes, that light dispels darkness. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. We celebrate likeness today, we celebrate likeness in the resurrection. Thank you, thank you, precious Lord. Thank you for your beautiful people, for Patrick and Pamela and the entire congregation worldwide, nation after nation after nation. We celebrate your life in one another. Thank you, Father. What a rich fellowship. We cannot we cannot get fellowship to be more rich than this.

SPEAKER_02 48:06

Sweetie, I just quickly want to ask you, would would it be correct if I said that what we are celebrating now is the rebooting. Yeah, you came to reboot us. Our minds, yeah. You understand it is a reboot. It's like you know, when they when you struggle, I I'm not computer literate, but very often they would say just switch it off into it.

SPEAKER_03 48:29

Restart, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 48:30

Restart, yeah, and that is what because we come from this eternal place of union, yeah, this place of oneness, this place of pure bliss, exactly, innocence, exactly onto a planet where the flesh and the dominion of centuries, and then spirit comes and reboots us, and suddenly our minds are quick and our memories coming back, and we realize I'm not on the receiving end, I am in the authoritative place that Christ has put me that we may live and rule and reign in this life. In this life, yeah, we're not sitting at the back. What's the world gonna offer? No, waiting for us, they're waiting for us to say this is what's on the agenda.

SPEAKER_03 49:26

And your life is God's platform, yeah. Your life, your life is God's platform. And you know, Lydia said something powerful years ago. She had this vision of athletes, you know, it's like a huge Olympic game, and and it's on your marks, get ready, and then there's a double shot. What does the double shot mean? It doesn't mean run harder or run away from the bullet, it means false start. False start. If you start it wrong in your faith, don't try and what do they call it? Um deconstruct. You know, we've made deconstruct such a philosophy, such a it's almost a theology. I first got to deconstruct this, not going to deconstruct that. And 40 years later, I'm still in the same old wilderness, but I'm busy deconstructing. Because I mean, but listen, it's like that, man. When Paul has metanoia moment, he says, from now on, therefore I no longer know anyone according to the flesh. Let this be your from now on moment. Like this right now. You don't need another year to struggle through whatever it was that you struggled through. Just right now, awaken. Yes, awaken in your understanding. Yes, awaken, sin no more. Lord, whoa, how long do you get that right? Just awaken to righteousness, awaken to the faith of God, take sides with the faith of God. God's faith hovers over you and ignites your spirit. Yes, so the son of righteousness arises inside of you, and you realize, wow, I I am I am the hem of his garment. Peter's just walking in his shadow, he'll speak the hem of his garment is now extended in in your life, in your life, in your presence. What an adventure, what an adventure awaits us.

SPEAKER_00 50:53

We've gone over our time. I'm so sorry. There is no time when you guys are now. We went three hours, and it's all good.

SPEAKER_03 51:05

Love you guys so much.

SPEAKER_00 51:07

Wait a little bit. I just I want to just thank you, guys. That was an amazing um Easter message, I would say, that goes above and beyond, fills us to overflowing. And I know a word that I think uh you guys had for when you were talking to us one time is tsunami, and this is a tsunami that's going out, and I just see so many people in small groups like this that are becoming just rebooted, and their voices going out, and that's their voices going out, and the message of the mere message is going out of our image and likeness of who we are, and that's like a tsunami through the entire planet, and I just thank everybody for coming. This is a little different than our normal because with 90, 95 people, we probably don't have time to take everybody's comments. I just thank you, Lydia and Francois, for taking time away from the your family celebration to celebrate with us. And I'm just gonna stop the recording and perfect.
