SPEAKER_00: Fathers, for people here that think I don't need this, what happens when you're trying to deal with an uncontrollable child?
SPEAKER_00: Sometimes it's demonic and it's not therapy and it's not you need to you need to understand how to operate.
SPEAKER_00: This is for everyone in their life.
SPEAKER_00: Maybe you're not going to be doing deliverance ministry all the time, but we need to know, we need to know this for our families.
SPEAKER_00: You need to know this to deal with some stuff.
SPEAKER_00: Some stuff is demonic.
SPEAKER_00: And we're coming into this thing.
SPEAKER_00: The Bible tells us time and time again we wrestle not against flesh and blood.
SPEAKER_00: We need to learn how to wrestle with the right enemy.
SPEAKER_00: Okay?
SPEAKER_00: Y'all good?
SPEAKER_00: We need this.
SPEAKER_00: So sign up.
SPEAKER_00: It's on if you don't know how to use the church app, Miss Janet, will you please stand up?
SPEAKER_00: She can show you how to sign up on the church app.
SPEAKER_00: But it's very easy.
SPEAKER_00: Go to events or like registration, sign up, or use a QR code.
SPEAKER_00: That's what this thing is right here.
SPEAKER_00: You pull out your phone, you take you get your camera out, it's gonna take you to the link.
SPEAKER_00: So we're technological that way.
SPEAKER_00: Amen.
SPEAKER_00: Alright, let's do this.
SPEAKER_00: Let's go in to the message.
SPEAKER_00: There we are again.
SPEAKER_00: That's uh spiritually on a cliff.
SPEAKER_00: Miss Kathy, that's you right there.
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
SPEAKER_00: Mm-hmm.
SPEAKER_00: We actually capitalize.
SPEAKER_00: No, don't jump.
SPEAKER_00: Um we uh Wednesday we had people come, we prayed, we sought the Lord, but Wednesday was different than what I was expecting.
SPEAKER_00: I expected a corporate prayer.
SPEAKER_00: It actually ended up being a corporate deliverance session.
SPEAKER_00: It was a it was a cleansing service where we were all renouncing things, we were breaking demonic holds and ties, and um it was really cool.
SPEAKER_00: And I was very, I was shocked by this because I wasn't expecting that.
SPEAKER_00: I was expecting all of us coming like on our knees and just praying to the Lord, but no, we hit this deliverance session, not over the people, just over the people there, but over our church.
SPEAKER_00: Um it's it's interesting that Jesus, in the midst of his hunger, that's when he resists the devil.
SPEAKER_00: That's when there's victory over the enemy.
SPEAKER_00: I find I believe that a lot of us are walking in victory over the enemy, maybe even more than we realize.
SPEAKER_00: Some of us are breaking breaking off generational curses as we're learning to say no to self.
SPEAKER_00: Some are break we're breaking generational curses because we're learning to say no to self.
SPEAKER_00: Amen?
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
SPEAKER_00: So this is where we're at.
SPEAKER_00: Um, after leaving the service Wednesday, I had a discerning feeling, but I did not know what it was Wednesday.
SPEAKER_00: There was a feeling, there was a theme, and after I left, I I felt the Lord explain what it was, and I heard this one word, unqualified.
SPEAKER_00: There was this thing going.
SPEAKER_00: It wasn't just about the people there, but it was about our church body.
SPEAKER_00: And it was this thing of that many people are not saying yes to God, many people are not taking that step of faith, many people are not committing to what God is doing here.
SPEAKER_00: God has drawn you here, you're kind of on the shallow end, you might be tipping your foot in the water, dipping your foot in the water, but um you're not there's not a yes from the Lord.
SPEAKER_00: There's not a committing, there's not a pressing in, and this is what I heard.
SPEAKER_00: It's not because they don't want to, and it's not because they're afraid, it's because they feel unqualified.
SPEAKER_00: I was I was surprised by that.
SPEAKER_00: And it's like, you know, I was seeing this thing of a lot of people because of your past, you don't feel qualified.
SPEAKER_00: Like you want the good things of God, but you don't want you don't believe the great things are for you.
SPEAKER_00: His blessing, his provision, his healing, his call to ministry, his equipping you, empowering you.
SPEAKER_00: You don't feel qualified because you're looking at your past, your mistakes.
SPEAKER_00: And I believe the Lord is wanting to cleanse our eyes of this.
SPEAKER_00: I want I believe that he's wanting us to see his mercy.
SPEAKER_00: This is not about, and I heard this term penance.
SPEAKER_00: Are y'all familiar with this term?
SPEAKER_00: Penance is one of the things that can be done in a right way for the right reasons.
SPEAKER_00: But when I looked up penance, the actual just dictionary, it said this it's a voluntary self-punishment inflicted as an outward expression of repentance for having done wrong.
SPEAKER_00: And I saw people, you were self-punishing yourself because you feel guilty.
SPEAKER_00: I don't even ask God for blessing, I don't ask him for healing.
SPEAKER_00: I'm not believing in expecting for breakthrough.
SPEAKER_00: In fact, I'm fine with just being okay.
SPEAKER_00: That's not the life that God calls us to.
SPEAKER_00: He says, I came that they would have life and have life abundantly.
SPEAKER_00: But you don't even want to believe for that.
SPEAKER_00: You don't want to you don't have hunger and expectation because you feel unqualified.
SPEAKER_00: You don't believe that you that you need that you should walk in financial blessing because you've just made too many mistakes, you've wasted too much money, you've gone into debt too many times, so you don't even ask for it, you don't believe it, you just learn to get by.
SPEAKER_00: The Lord's gonna deal with that, he's gonna heal that.
SPEAKER_00: So in the name of Jesus, we break that off.
SPEAKER_00: We break that off in the name of Jesus.
SPEAKER_00: Ephesians 2 10 says, For we are God's masterpiece.
SPEAKER_00: You are God's masterpiece.
SPEAKER_00: He's Oh, you are master, he's created us anew in Christ Jesus.
SPEAKER_00: The former things that doesn't define us today.
SPEAKER_00: Do you understand that?
SPEAKER_00: I I understand we have we have crazy past.
SPEAKER_00: I understand we made some big mistakes.
SPEAKER_00: We we've slept around, you know, we've done the drugs, we've we've drank, we've made horrible decisions, we've made horrible financial decisions, we've lived for self time and time again, we've ignored the Lord, we've got all these things.
SPEAKER_00: He's made you new.
SPEAKER_00: Today is a new day.
SPEAKER_00: It's not about you qualifying for anything, it's about what he's done.
SPEAKER_00: It's the blood of Jesus that cleanses us, makes us white as snow.
SPEAKER_00: Do you understand when God looks at you, he sees the image and character of Jesus?
SPEAKER_00: This is a season, church, we are we are we are coming and posturing ourselves in humility, but at the same time, this is a season where expectation is growing.
SPEAKER_00: I feel like the Lord simply wants to say this.
SPEAKER_00: He goes, I want your prayers to get radically faithful.
SPEAKER_00: I don't like we we try to think what is practical, like what could happen, and I pray that.
SPEAKER_00: You know what I'm saying?
SPEAKER_00: Let me be practical here.
SPEAKER_00: I feel like the Lord wants us to get radical in our prayers.
SPEAKER_00: Lord, I'll be okay if you just you know fix this part of my family, then I'll be fine.
SPEAKER_00: No, how about this?
SPEAKER_00: Lord, I want you to bring breathe revival fire on my family.
SPEAKER_00: I want to see my husband radically where he can't even take it.
SPEAKER_00: He doesn't want to get in front of the TV for hours.
SPEAKER_00: He's just falling at your feet.
SPEAKER_00: He's making us go to church, he's making us have time in the word every day in prayer as a family.
SPEAKER_00: The TV is off.
SPEAKER_00: Listen, I look I want our prayers to get radical.
SPEAKER_00: Lord, don't just heal my marriage, completely change it and make it better than it was before.
SPEAKER_00: Radical.
SPEAKER_00: Lord, I don't want to just feel a little bit better.
SPEAKER_00: I want to be completely healed from head to toe.
SPEAKER_00: I don't want to just be able to walk without pain.
SPEAKER_00: I want to be able to run a mile without pain.
SPEAKER_00: Um, John, I feel like that was for you specifically also.
SPEAKER_00: The Lord says, let your prayers get radical.
SPEAKER_00: Let your prayers get radical.
SPEAKER_00: We are not peasants, we're not beggars.
SPEAKER_00: We're not peasants, we're not beggars.
SPEAKER_00: We're not paying penance.
SPEAKER_00: That's not what's qualifying you.
SPEAKER_00: There's a confidence and a boldness when a son and daughter understands who they are.
SPEAKER_00: My father who loves me.
SPEAKER_00: Let your prayers get radical.
SPEAKER_00: Come on, Jesus.
SPEAKER_00: I thank you for revival.
SPEAKER_00: I thank you for healing, Lord.
SPEAKER_00: I don't care what the economy looks like, Lord.
SPEAKER_00: I thank you for the ones looking for houses.
SPEAKER_00: You're gonna provide a house, Father.
SPEAKER_00: I thank you for the ones in debt.
SPEAKER_00: You're gonna cancel the debts in the name of Jesus.
SPEAKER_00: I thank you for the ones who need healing, Father.
SPEAKER_00: You're gonna heal them.
SPEAKER_00: They're not gonna have to go through with thousands and thousands of dollars of doctor bills, Lord.
SPEAKER_00: You're just gonna heal them, Lord.
SPEAKER_00: I thank you for those marriages that seem impossible.
SPEAKER_00: Lord, you're resurrecting the fire of the marriages, Lord.
SPEAKER_00: You're resurrecting the passion of the marriages, you're sanctifying the marriages in the name of Jesus.
SPEAKER_00: I thank you for those family members, Lord, that are running away from you, Lord.
SPEAKER_00: You're bringing the prodigals home, but they're gonna be on fire when they get home.
SPEAKER_00: They're gonna be coming cross and consecrated to the Lord when they get home in the mighty name of Jesus.
SPEAKER_00: I thank you that you're our protector.
SPEAKER_00: I thank you that you're our healer, I thank you that you're our provider.
SPEAKER_00: Kudrama shikiata kadra be diyoko.
SPEAKER_00: Oh, I can never do miracles and deliverance.
SPEAKER_00: The mirac the healing power of Christ is going to be flowing through your hands.
SPEAKER_00: You think I'm up here because I'm qualified?
SPEAKER_00: Thank you, sister.
SPEAKER_00: That's the answer I was hoping for.
SPEAKER_00: The religious system, this is how they work.
SPEAKER_00: It's qualifications.
SPEAKER_00: Look how special I am.
SPEAKER_00: You know, I've had I've got some Bible training, you know, and I've showed that I'm, you know, that I've done good stuff for 10 years.
SPEAKER_00: I'm qualified.
SPEAKER_00: That's not how Jesus works.
SPEAKER_00: He takes the unqualified and makes him qualified.
SPEAKER_00: He takes the shepherd, who no one would have ever chosen and makes him a king.
SPEAKER_00: He takes the son, the son of God, the king of kings, and he says, you know what?
SPEAKER_00: I'm not gonna have him come and be born in a palace and a temple.
SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna have him be born in a manger.
SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna show the riches and the power and the wisdom of this world.
SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna make it look foolish with how I do things.
SPEAKER_00: Maybe you're that testimony that's gonna show how foolish the things of the world is.
SPEAKER_00: Maybe you're that testimony that's gonna show the foolishness of qualifications.
SPEAKER_00: That's the religious system.
SPEAKER_00: You know what?
SPEAKER_00: God's like, you know what?
SPEAKER_00: I'll take the rejects and I'll reject them right into my purposes.
SPEAKER_00: I'll take the drug addicts and I'll make them addicted to my presence, and then healing power is gonna flow through them, and then they're gonna go to other drug addicts and they're gonna show them how to get to freedom.
SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna take the witches, the ex-witches, and the ex-warlocks, and I'm gonna have them do so much damage against the kingdom of darkness that the enemy wish they never would have tried.
SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna take the homosexual, and then all of a sudden, I'm gonna give them a spouse and I'm gonna give them children, and then I'm gonna be have my mouthpiece that's going to sever the head of Jezebel.
SPEAKER_00: Did you know it was the eunuchs of Jezebel that pushed her off?
SPEAKER_00: Did y'all know that?
SPEAKER_00: The ones affected by the sin were the ones that overcame it and conquered the enemy.
SPEAKER_00: Come on, Jesus.
SPEAKER_00: Come on, Jesus, let faith arise in this place.
SPEAKER_00: Let faith arise.
SPEAKER_00: This is not fairy tales.
SPEAKER_00: God is doing something in Noonan, Georgia.
SPEAKER_00: God is doing something.
SPEAKER_00: He's called you for a purpose and a plan, and I rebuke that aborting spirit right now in the name of Jesus that would try to abort the plans of God, what he's birthing in and through you.
SPEAKER_00: I rebuke you in the name of Jesus.
SPEAKER_00: I rebuke you, you spirit of murder.
SPEAKER_00: I rebuke you, you spirit of doubt, right now, in the name of Jesus.
SPEAKER_00: I rebuke you, you orphan spirit right now that says you now have no value, that no one loves you.
SPEAKER_00: I rebuke you right now.
SPEAKER_00: I rebuke you, you spirit of discouragement.
SPEAKER_00: You have experienced loss and failure, and you are so discouraged that you just quit trying and believing.
SPEAKER_00: I rebuke you in the mighty name of Jesus.
SPEAKER_00: In the mighty name of Jesus, get your life back in you.
SPEAKER_00: Breathe in the life of God, breathe in the spirit of God, get your hope back, get your will back, fight for something.
SPEAKER_00: God likes to do something where there's danger and the world is going through calamity.
SPEAKER_00: He likes to preserve his remnant.
SPEAKER_00: And he's able to.
SPEAKER_00: Like when there's famines and all this stuff, God takes care of his people.
SPEAKER_00: Do you understand this?
SPEAKER_00: We've got to get our eyes off of out there.
SPEAKER_00: God is going to protect you, he's going to care for you, he's going to provide for you.
SPEAKER_00: This stuff of worry, Jesus says that he's like, you're wasting your time and your life worrying.
SPEAKER_00: You're wasting your life, you're trying to plan your life for all the problems that you see.
SPEAKER_00: And because you're planning, you've now signed your life over to things that God never called you to.
SPEAKER_00: This season, right now, we're getting ourselves back into alignment.
SPEAKER_00: We're saying, Lord, what do you want my life to look like?
SPEAKER_00: What do I need to get rid of?
SPEAKER_00: And we're getting rid of it.
SPEAKER_00: What if all your plans, what if the rest of your life, your 10-year plan, your 20-year plan is not a plan that God has for you?
SPEAKER_00: What will you do?
SPEAKER_00: Will you change it?
SPEAKER_00: Will you be willing to change your plan?
SPEAKER_00: If you're not willing, that's your idol.
SPEAKER_00: If you're not saying, Lord, here's my life, do what you want.
SPEAKER_00: You can say whatever you want.
SPEAKER_00: You can tell me to do whatever you do.
SPEAKER_00: Maybe you've got millions of dollars saved up for retirement.
SPEAKER_00: What if the Lord told you to give it away?
SPEAKER_00: Would you?
SPEAKER_00: What if you contended and waited and tried for a child and all of a sudden the Lord comes to you and says, Hey, I want you to sacrifice that child to me.
SPEAKER_00: Um, I know that's funny.
SPEAKER_00: Laugh it up, that's funny, but he told Abraham to do that.
SPEAKER_00: And the test was, will he do that?
SPEAKER_00: God's not going not going to tell us to kill babies, but for some reason Abraham he did.
SPEAKER_00: Because that was his prized possession, that was his dream.
SPEAKER_00: But even understand, something as noble as our children, something as noble as our future.
SPEAKER_00: Maybe it's your career, maybe it's the way you like your life to be.
SPEAKER_00: Your life is comfortable.
SPEAKER_00: Maybe that's your Isaac.
SPEAKER_00: Maybe he's saying, I want you to put that on the altar.
SPEAKER_00: Because we put that before him.
SPEAKER_00: That's what an idol is.
SPEAKER_00: Man, I'm going to tell you this that God's not promising you a good life.
SPEAKER_00: God's not promising you that you're going to do a good job.
SPEAKER_00: You need him.
SPEAKER_00: And you have opportunities to put your idols on the altar.
SPEAKER_00: If you don't, that's just an opportunity.
SPEAKER_00: That's an opportunity.
SPEAKER_00: You can miss it.
SPEAKER_00: You can miss God's call.
SPEAKER_00: You can miss all this plans, blessings, purpose.
SPEAKER_00: You can miss it.
SPEAKER_00: My job here, this is so relieving when I got this revelation, Martina.
SPEAKER_00: It's not my job to make you do anything.
SPEAKER_00: Like, all I have to do is give the message.
SPEAKER_00: And then I'm good.
SPEAKER_00: It's your job to respond to it.
SPEAKER_00: And you don't have to.
SPEAKER_00: And I'm done trying to force or manipulate or or or pressure anybody and stuff.
SPEAKER_00: That God is moving.
SPEAKER_00: This is a time of opportunity.
SPEAKER_00: Let me give you a Bible verse.
SPEAKER_00: Matthew 19, 21 through 22.
SPEAKER_00: It says, Jesus told him, if you want to be perfect, go and sell all your possessions and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven.
SPEAKER_00: Then come follow me.
SPEAKER_00: Y'all know the story.
SPEAKER_00: The rich man, the man who really was trying, he was working very hard.
SPEAKER_00: He planned his life out.
SPEAKER_00: And he comes to Jesus.
SPEAKER_00: Jesus knew what the issue was in his heart.
SPEAKER_00: Go and sell everything and give it away to the poor.
SPEAKER_00: Then Jesus says, Come and follow me.
SPEAKER_00: We read about the disciples, right?
SPEAKER_00: The followers of Jesus.
SPEAKER_00: This was one of the guys that Jesus, this was his opportunity.
SPEAKER_00: This could have been, we don't even know his name, this could have been one of Jesus' followers.
SPEAKER_00: That was an opportunity.
SPEAKER_00: He missed it.
SPEAKER_00: Y'all see the revelation in that?
SPEAKER_00: Our pride will cause us to miss it.
SPEAKER_00: Our stubbornness will cause us to miss it.
SPEAKER_00: This is the season we're in.
SPEAKER_00: Lord, here's my life.
SPEAKER_00: My family and my children.
SPEAKER_00: They don't really belong to me.
SPEAKER_00: They're just blessings.
SPEAKER_00: I'm stewarding this.
SPEAKER_00: What do you want?
SPEAKER_00: Lord, what do you want?
SPEAKER_00: Thank you, Jesus.
SPEAKER_00: In Joel 2, the Lord says, Turn to me now while there is time.
SPEAKER_00: Give me your hearts, come with fasting, weeping, and mourning.
SPEAKER_00: What happens is that when God's people would get out of alignment, I'll put it that way, when they would start disobeying, what they would, you know, start having idol worship, God would bring judgment.
SPEAKER_00: Before God brought judgment, he would use prophets to tell him, hey, y'all better turn back to God.
SPEAKER_00: He doesn't like this.
SPEAKER_00: And if you don't, he's gonna hurt.
SPEAKER_00: He's gonna hurt you.
SPEAKER_00: He's gonna judge you.
SPEAKER_00: Okay, that's the idea.
SPEAKER_00: We see the same cyclical thing.
SPEAKER_00: So in Joel 2, that that's what's happening.
SPEAKER_00: They're experiencing judgment, and then the Lord says, Turn to me now.
SPEAKER_00: So then all of a sudden God just says, Turn to me.
SPEAKER_00: And come with fasting, weeping, and mourning.
SPEAKER_00: We have been fasting this week with the purpose to turn to God.
SPEAKER_00: Amen.
SPEAKER_00: And so what I felt for you all is um really encouraging.
SPEAKER_00: Uh he says, Don't tear your clothing and your grief, but tear your hearts instead.
SPEAKER_00: That God's not looking for a religious act.
SPEAKER_00: God just wants it simply to be real here.
SPEAKER_00: Okay?
SPEAKER_00: He wants it to be real here.
SPEAKER_00: Return to the Lord your God, for he is merciful and compassionate.
SPEAKER_00: Now, this is God's heart.
SPEAKER_00: This is what I want you to hear.
SPEAKER_00: This this is to the people that have disqualified themselves, that are trying to pay personal penance, trying to pay for their own sins, rejecting blessing, healing, you name it.
SPEAKER_00: It says he is merciful and compassionate.
SPEAKER_00: Mercy means that we're not receiving the punishment we deserve.
SPEAKER_00: He's just choosing not to because he loves us.
SPEAKER_00: That's mercy.
SPEAKER_00: He's mercy and compassionate.
SPEAKER_00: He's slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love.
SPEAKER_00: He is eager to relent and not punish.
SPEAKER_00: Look at this last verse.
SPEAKER_00: It says he's eager to relent.
SPEAKER_00: Relent means change his mind.
SPEAKER_00: We're contending for revival because the the nation of America and the Church of America has been under judgment.
SPEAKER_00: The judgment is closed off heavens.
SPEAKER_00: And we've been under judgment for a long time.
SPEAKER_00: We have closed off heavens.
SPEAKER_00: We don't have the fruit of the kingdom.
SPEAKER_00: We don't see in the church today what we saw in Acts.
SPEAKER_00: We have a closed-off heaven.
SPEAKER_00: I mean, there's a little spurse.
SPEAKER_00: Some people have personal, but I'm saying as a corporate body of the church, that's judgment.
SPEAKER_00: Some of us have lived in this place of judgment.
SPEAKER_00: We think that's normal.
SPEAKER_00: We think it's just normal.
SPEAKER_00: He's eager to relent.
SPEAKER_00: That means he's eager to change his mind.
SPEAKER_00: I've been coming this week and I said, Lord, please, whatever it takes, fix us so you can open up heaven.
SPEAKER_00: Fix us so this can be real.
SPEAKER_00: Fix us, Lord, so that when we pray for people to get healed, they're getting healed.
SPEAKER_00: We're contending for it, we're believing for it.
SPEAKER_00: We're knocking at the door, but I'm ready for the door to open.
SPEAKER_00: So this is beautiful.
SPEAKER_00: It goes to vertebra.
SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna skip down to verse 18.
SPEAKER_00: It says, Then the Lord will pity his people.
SPEAKER_00: He'll have compassion on them.
SPEAKER_00: This is the heart of the Lord.
SPEAKER_00: He desires to change his mind.
SPEAKER_00: We it's not like a hey Lord, please, we gotta convince you, and he's stubborn and doesn't want to.
SPEAKER_00: No, he wants to.
SPEAKER_00: But but the Bible tells us, hey, sometimes you have to knock and you have to keep on knocking.
SPEAKER_00: Sometimes our problem is that we're that we just knocked maybe once or twice and we gave up because we thought no one's home.
SPEAKER_00: And he says, no, keep on knocking.
SPEAKER_00: And the doors are gonna open.
SPEAKER_00: Keep on asking and you'll get an answer.
SPEAKER_00: Keep seeking and you're gonna find it.
SPEAKER_00: That's what we're doing day in, day out.
SPEAKER_00: That's why we're praying, that's why we're praising.
SPEAKER_00: That's why we're coming to the altars.
SPEAKER_00: We're not satisfied.
SPEAKER_00: We're not just gonna we're not gonna put up with it.
SPEAKER_00: The woman with the issue of blood could have just died in her blood, but for 14 years she looked, she saw, she she tried to knock, she asked, and then finally she comes to Jesus, makes her way to Jesus.
SPEAKER_00: And even though there was a crowd, even though there were challenges, she comes and she takes his garment and just touches it.
SPEAKER_00: She's healed.
SPEAKER_00: That's faith.
SPEAKER_00: Sometimes faith has to contend.
SPEAKER_00: Are you with me?
SPEAKER_00: Sometimes faith and walking in faith is hard work.
SPEAKER_00: Sometimes we're gonna have discouragement.
SPEAKER_00: All of a sudden, God gives you faith to make a decision, and right behind that decision is another mountain, and you're like, oh my gosh.
SPEAKER_00: Do y'all know what I'm talking about?
SPEAKER_00: But then the Lord will pity his people in jealousy and guard all the uh guard the honor of his land.
SPEAKER_00: Verse 19 it says the Lord will reply, Look, I am sending you grain, new wine, and olive oil, enough to satisfy your needs.
SPEAKER_00: I love this.
SPEAKER_00: Y'all hear this out.
SPEAKER_00: Um grain represents is symbolic of daily provision.
SPEAKER_00: It's provision.
SPEAKER_00: It sustains us.
SPEAKER_00: It's the provision of truth, but it's also practical provision.
SPEAKER_00: The Lord is the when understand, catch this here.
SPEAKER_00: The people repent.
SPEAKER_00: God shows mercy.
SPEAKER_00: He starts providing.
SPEAKER_00: There's a spirit of poverty that we come into agreement with, and some of it is generational.
SPEAKER_00: It's passed down, it's mindsets, but it's strongholds, it's demonic, but it's also mental strongholds.
SPEAKER_00: We just see life this way.
SPEAKER_00: It's one of poverty.
SPEAKER_00: People live that live under poverty, people always live with a survival mindset.
SPEAKER_00: But we have the word of God tell us that we're we we carry this kingship authority, that we're sons and daughters of God.
SPEAKER_00: That's not a poverty mindset, that's a more than enough.
SPEAKER_00: He will provide all of your needs according to his riches and glory.
SPEAKER_00: When you understand the revelation of that, you're no longer living from the mode of survival.
SPEAKER_00: Some of us would need to have that poverty spirit and mentality severed.
SPEAKER_00: Because your identity is a son and daughter of the king, a prince, a princess.
SPEAKER_00: Father, we just come out of agreement right now with the poverty spirit.
SPEAKER_00: I plead the blood of Jesus over every life and over every mind.
SPEAKER_00: Lord, I don't care how many generations have done it.
SPEAKER_00: We sever it right now in the name of Jesus.
SPEAKER_00: And we call you into sonship.
SPEAKER_00: We call you into be daughters.
SPEAKER_00: We call you into the one who provides, who has the cattle on a thousand hills in the mighty name of Jesus.
SPEAKER_00: We say that this is a turning point you will not walk in lack.
unknown: Thank you, Lord.
SPEAKER_00: Jesus, Jesus, Jesus.
SPEAKER_00: He provides a new wine.
SPEAKER_00: New wine is a symbolic of joy, renewal, and um fresh spiritual life.
SPEAKER_00: It's a vibrant life.
SPEAKER_00: This is what I was talking about is that we settle for just okay.
SPEAKER_00: I'm just okay with just things this way.
SPEAKER_00: It's good enough.
SPEAKER_00: God has called us to more than just good.
SPEAKER_00: He's called us to a vibrancy, okay?
SPEAKER_00: And so that new wine, it's a joy.
SPEAKER_00: It's a spiritual refreshing.
SPEAKER_00: This is what's happening.
SPEAKER_00: This is what the Lord is doing amongst us.
SPEAKER_00: Watch it.
SPEAKER_00: We're gonna start getting praise reports.
SPEAKER_00: Man, the door opened for me for a job that I thought I would never get.
SPEAKER_00: Man, all of a sudden I was getting checks in the mail.
SPEAKER_00: Man, all of a sudden they just canceled off my debt, and I don't know what happened.
SPEAKER_00: Watch.
SPEAKER_00: And then oil.
SPEAKER_00: Oil is the spirit's presence, power, and healing.
SPEAKER_00: It's what when David was anointed king, the anointing, the oil is what enables you to do the call of God on your life.
SPEAKER_00: If you feel and if you feel like intimidated by what God's telling you to do, good.
SPEAKER_00: That's the point.
SPEAKER_00: Because it's his spirit, it's his power that enables us, it empowers us, it equips us.
SPEAKER_00: Verse 21.
SPEAKER_00: This is where I love this.
SPEAKER_00: So it says, Do not don't be afraid, O land, be glad now and rejoice, for the Lord has done great things.
SPEAKER_00: Verse 22.
SPEAKER_00: Don't be afraid, you animals of the field, for the wilderness pastures will soon be green.
SPEAKER_00: The trees will again be filled with fruit, fig trees and grapevines will be loaded down once more.
SPEAKER_00: I want you to look at this.
SPEAKER_00: Look at this is this is the process, this is the progression.
SPEAKER_00: God's mad, there's judgment.
SPEAKER_00: God tells his people to repent and turn back to him.
SPEAKER_00: When the people respond, God responds with mercy, and not only does he respond with mercy, but then he begins to provide for them for every area of life.
SPEAKER_00: Okay?
SPEAKER_00: But he doesn't stop there.
SPEAKER_00: He takes it one more step.
SPEAKER_00: And then he says, I'm the land that was barren is now going to be fruitful.
SPEAKER_00: And this is some of you here, you need to hear this.
SPEAKER_00: That the idea of being fruitful is that you were created and intended to produce something.
SPEAKER_00: An apple tree is created, intended to produce apples.
SPEAKER_00: But if an apple tree doesn't produce apples, then what good is the apple tree?
SPEAKER_00: And some of us are like apple trees that have not been producing apples.
SPEAKER_00: Do you understand that feeling when it's like I try and I try, but nothing ever happens, nothing ever changes.
SPEAKER_00: There's no breakthrough.
SPEAKER_00: I try and I try and there's no fruit.
SPEAKER_00: We're fruitless.
SPEAKER_00: He says, I'm going to restore your ability to bear fruit.
SPEAKER_00: You're called to start a business.
SPEAKER_00: And you try.
SPEAKER_00: And you grind, you grind, and you grind, and you work hard, but there's no fruit.
SPEAKER_00: All of a sudden, God changes something.
SPEAKER_00: And you have the ability to bear fruit.
SPEAKER_00: I try to break this addiction, these habits, these strongholds.
SPEAKER_00: There's no fruit in my life.
SPEAKER_00: Something changes.
SPEAKER_00: And all of a sudden you're bearing fruit.
SPEAKER_00: I try to have disciples.
SPEAKER_00: I try to minister.
SPEAKER_00: I try to operate in deliverance, healing, signs and wonders.
SPEAKER_00: No fruit.
SPEAKER_00: God starts to change it.
SPEAKER_00: Start bearing fruit.
SPEAKER_00: I pray for my spouse.
SPEAKER_00: Time and time and time again.
SPEAKER_00: No change.
SPEAKER_00: But all of a sudden, the spouse starts to listen.
SPEAKER_00: All of a sudden, the spouse is like, maybe I'm going to go to church with you this week.
SPEAKER_00: I feel the Spirit of the Lord right now.
SPEAKER_00: All of a sudden, the spouse starts to get hungry.
SPEAKER_00: They're not satisfied.
SPEAKER_00: And then they don't even want to just come to church.
SPEAKER_00: They want to do ministry.
SPEAKER_00: He restores the ability to bear fruit.
SPEAKER_00: John 15, 16, you did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide.
SPEAKER_00: So that whatever you ask in the Father's name, he may give it to you.
SPEAKER_00: Verse 25, the Lord says, I will give you back what you lost to the swarming locust, the hopping locusts, the stripping locust, and the cutting locusts.
SPEAKER_00: If it wasn't enough that God would just have mercy on us, provide for us, provision, joy, spiritual renewal, equipping his power of his presence.
SPEAKER_00: And then all of a sudden he restores the ability to bear fruit.
SPEAKER_00: But then he takes it one step even further.
SPEAKER_00: Everything that you have lost, I am going to restore.
SPEAKER_00: Everything the enemy has taken from you, even when it was your bad decisions that caused it.
SPEAKER_00: I'm going to restore it to you.
SPEAKER_00: You might be here today and say, I don't deserve healing because I drank so much and I've destroyed my body.
SPEAKER_00: I don't deserve it.
SPEAKER_00: The Lord says, I'm going to restore what was lost because of the enemy.
SPEAKER_00: My bank account's empty because the enemies attacked me.
SPEAKER_00: Well, God says, I'm going to restore it.
SPEAKER_00: The locusts have come to you in your life.
SPEAKER_00: The locusts have come to your relationships.
SPEAKER_00: The locusts have destroyed.
SPEAKER_00: Someone needs to hear this.
SPEAKER_00: The relationship between you and your daughter.
SPEAKER_00: The Lord says, I'm going to restore what was lost.
SPEAKER_00: Thank you.
SPEAKER_00: This was on my heart.
SPEAKER_00: This whole section, this is what I felt the message was for you today, because you've been doing a really good job putting up with my very intense messages.
SPEAKER_00: And the Lord said you needed a little bit of encouragement today.
SPEAKER_00: This is what He's doing at this time with this people.
SPEAKER_00: Only if you become a member.
SPEAKER_00: Tina's over there shaking her head.
SPEAKER_00: One of us.
SPEAKER_00: I had a shirt idea.
SPEAKER_00: It was declined.
SPEAKER_00: I said, let's have it be like, you know, Kuwaita Community Church on the front, then on the back, say, we're not a cult.
SPEAKER_00: But everyone be like, well, wouldn't a cult say that?
SPEAKER_00: Touche.
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I would too, actually.
SPEAKER_00: Okay, then we're gonna do it.
SPEAKER_00: Should we vote on this?
SPEAKER_00: Should we do a church vote?
SPEAKER_00: Who wants one?
SPEAKER_00: Okay, y'all.
SPEAKER_00: What where is everybody at?
SPEAKER_00: That was only 20%.
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
SPEAKER_00: We're still in the season of turning back to God, so maybe that'll be better next week.
SPEAKER_00: Y'all are too funny.
SPEAKER_00: Way too funny.
SPEAKER_00: Go ahead and stand up.
SPEAKER_00: This is what I felt the Lord saying.
SPEAKER_00: This is what he's going to do, okay?
SPEAKER_00: The Lord is coming to restore, and the Lord is going to restore more than we ever could have thought or imagined.
SPEAKER_00: This is what I would encourage you to do.
SPEAKER_00: Stop limiting him, okay?
SPEAKER_00: And let's get some faith-filled prayers back in.
SPEAKER_00: Let's get those impossible, crazy prayers.
SPEAKER_00: Let's not just settle, let's not pray practical, say, no, no, no, no, Lord, I know how King Jesus is.
SPEAKER_00: Come on up here, Catherine.
SPEAKER_00: My sweet, beautiful wife.
SPEAKER_00: Would you like to say something?
SPEAKER_01: Um, just to go along with this, I really felt from the Lord um there's actually gonna be some men who you're not even thinking this way, but the Lord is gonna start giving you some creative ideas for your family, even financially, business practically speaking, to take care of them.
SPEAKER_01: And you're gonna have this moment that it's kind of maybe a little risky or a little bit scary.
SPEAKER_01: And um, and don't be surprised when the Lord starts giving you blueprints for your family.
SPEAKER_01: Come on.
SPEAKER_01: But I also want to encourage you.
SPEAKER_01: So, one, it's not by accident that you're having those ideas that kind of seem a little audacious.
SPEAKER_01: So, so pause with those and we say yes to that in Jesus' name, but also with wisdom um of praying into it, that I want to encourage you to connect with some leaders because there is also a way to steward those moments in our lives.
SPEAKER_01: And so we have uh Paul Schneider, who's a businessman.
SPEAKER_01: We also have uh Randy Culver, who just has has seen a lot in life with um with people stepping out into their calling.
SPEAKER_01: So there is a way to do that.
SPEAKER_01: You're not alone.
SPEAKER_01: You are going to be, I believe it, I feel it so strongly in my spirit.
SPEAKER_01: Can can we just even right now, Lord?
SPEAKER_01: We say yes to your blueprints for our lives.
SPEAKER_01: We say yes to creative ideas, we say yes to financial strategy, we say yes to financial breakthrough.
SPEAKER_01: We say yes that we're gonna we're gonna leap when you tell us to leap, we're gonna run when you tell us to run, and we are going to see you be more than faithful and more than enough in this season in Jesus' name.
SPEAKER_01: We also have um Mr.
SPEAKER_01: Gary over here who can give some great advice financially, whatever it is.
SPEAKER_01: But I want to encourage you, get the blueprints and then find somebody older in the church to connect with to get some wisdom because I believe that there's gonna be this um strengthening that happens with where God is wanting to take you and your family.
SPEAKER_00: Thank you, Jesus.
SPEAKER_00: Um, as she was praying, I felt like this whole thing of restoration, especially restoring what was lost.
SPEAKER_00: Paul, I felt like the Lord wanted you to say, I'm sp I'm I'm doing that over you in this season.
SPEAKER_00: Restoring what was lost.
SPEAKER_00: The locus in the Bible can be a form of judgment, like when someone hasn't done something right, the Lord can actually cause them.
SPEAKER_00: In fact, at the you know, at the end of this verse, the Lord says it was I who brought those.
SPEAKER_00: But then there's times it's simply the enemy bringing um loss because of what you're doing was right.
SPEAKER_00: It was an attack.
SPEAKER_00: The Lord is saying, I'm restoring what was lost.
SPEAKER_00: Roman, the Lord says I'm restoring what is lost.
SPEAKER_00: Man, my man right there, I don't know you.
SPEAKER_00: You're in the tan shirt next to my guy, muscle man in the blue shirt.
SPEAKER_00: The Lord says, This is over you.
SPEAKER_00: I'm restoring what was lost.
SPEAKER_00: And I want you to start praying radical prayers.
SPEAKER_00: It's no coincidence that you were here today.
SPEAKER_00: The Lord wanted you to hear this.
SPEAKER_00: Thank you, Jesus.
SPEAKER_00: Thank you, Father.
SPEAKER_00: Also, black shirt guy right there.
SPEAKER_00: I met a lot of you, but I don't remember the names that well because my my brain just turns off sometimes.
SPEAKER_00: The Lord says that's for you.
SPEAKER_00: I'm restoring, especially relational things.
SPEAKER_00: There's been broken relationships, and when I said that, there's people that come to your mind.
SPEAKER_00: The Lord says, I'm restoring what was lost.
SPEAKER_00: I'm restoring it, I'm making it better than it was before.
SPEAKER_00: We say it in the name of Jesus, let that be done.
SPEAKER_00: Lady in the green striped shirt right there, or green and white, raise your hand.
SPEAKER_00: The Lord says, I'm doing a new thing in you.
SPEAKER_00: Um, and I am bringing restoration around you, I'm bringing healing around you, but also I'm healing and restoring financial blessing around you in your life.
SPEAKER_00: I feel like there was a big there's been losses and stuff, but it adds up to a lot.
SPEAKER_00: And the Lord says, I'm restoring that.
SPEAKER_00: And here's the key.
SPEAKER_00: I'm not gonna make you do anything for that to happen.
SPEAKER_00: You're gonna see some supernatural things happen around you.
SPEAKER_00: You're gonna find a restoration of that.
SPEAKER_00: And I I I even just feel a nudge that there's gonna be something about you moving like a new house, and the Lord's going to make a supernatural way for that to happen.
SPEAKER_00: So I thank you, Father, for that new house, Lord.
SPEAKER_00: And the Lord just says, Um, um, he just you're in a season where he delights in you and he's gonna shower his love and blessing, okay?

SPEAKER_00: He delights in you, and I'm showering blessing and healing and provision over you.
SPEAKER_00: He's just gonna dote upon you.
SPEAKER_00: It's like when a father takes his little girl shopping, pick out whatever you want.
SPEAKER_00: That's what the Lord is doing for you right now in this season.
SPEAKER_00: So, Father, I thank you for that.
SPEAKER_00: Lord, I thank you for your love, the love of a father over her in the name of Jesus.
SPEAKER_00: Thank you, Father.
SPEAKER_00: Before we end, let me just check and see if Holy Spirit has anybody else.
