Oh, hello, hello, hello, how are we doing? Is the
Lord? What's going to be with you all? We were coming back from
Maui yesterday, so we did a proper Valentine's trip that was good and uh
so the last I looked at them, so our flight got delayed. It
was going to be a bad flight for Missus Wolf already, but it turned
out to be a really bad flight for Missus Wolf. I see people fanning
you, so do we have the ac on? Can we check and make
sure that the see has said? I'm seventy one? Thank you, I
appreciate it. I'm gonna start Fanny in a minute. Yeah, So the
flight got delayed. So the last I looked at the clock that I remember,
it was three forty four am. So we got in a little late.
Solomon Sterling brought us his pickup truck and left it at the airport for
us, So thank the Lord for that. But we had a good few
days over there. But last weekend we missed you all because we were doing
a family legacy weekend. Did you miss us? You didn't miss us?
See there see there, Holy Spirit blew this place up. You had a
ball without us. Yeah, but we were up in the mountains with all
sixteen of us doing a family legacy weekend. So that was fun. Amen.
So let's dive into the word best we can. Holy Spirit. We
just thank you right now for making your word alive to us, opening the
eyes of our understanding, leading us with the wisdom from above. Well give
you the praise for it in Jesus' name. And everybody said, I want
to talk about hope a little bit. I want to talk about vision and
hope. And but while I was standing there on the front row, I
felt like I was supposed to start at the end of the sermon instead of
the beginning. So I'm looking at my comments. I'm looking at some commentary
that I had at the end of the sermon, and I think, you
know, part of what I believe the Lord wants to say is that that
you know, when we come to him, and especially those of you that
come into new horizon, he's building you know, He's building us to be
warriors. So they say, you know, they say a church as a
hospital, and it is, but as you are restored, then it is
also a training ground for war. And so those who are getting mended pretty
soon are finding the tools of warfare. So that they can join in a
company of overcomers. So we're not hiding here. This is not like a
sanctuary that we hide in. It's a sanctuary we're healed in and then we
go out from here as warriors into our spheres of influence. And you know
that's I know that's if you've been around me, you know that's my passion.
Uh, it's my passion for you. I believe it's the Lord's passion
for us. Is that and I believe that it's key, it's critical to
this billion soul harvest that is before us right now. So as the Lord
is shaking the nations, we're not in tribulation. We're just tribulating and the
Lord is shaking or he's allowing things to shake. Right, So, if
things are built on sand, then they're going to fall when they shake.
But not only that, if they're built on sand, they can't withstand the
glory of what they're attempting to build anyway. Right, So, glory is
the word kabad, and the Hebrew it means weight. So anytimes you're building
something, you're building an economic kingdom, an educational kingdom, anytime you're building
a family kingdom, a governmental kingdom, any kingdom. The bigger it gets,
the more weight there is to it. The more weight there is to
it, the more it exposes the foundation. If the foundation is sand,
it's going to crumble. And what we're seeing is worldly system carnal systems,
unclean systems crumbling. They're crushing. So this is not a time for us
to be worried or wringing our hands, disturbed and like freaking out. This
is the time to be rejoicing, praying, prophesying, and aggressive, aggressive
in hope, aggressive in faith. Can I get a witness in the room,
aggressive in hope, aggressive in faith? We are God raises up.
He raises us up out of the dust. Heap right song forty, He
pulls us out of the myriclay, sets our feet on a solid rock,
puts a song in our heart, and gives us the sort of the spirit.
And so he makes us to be overcomers. Amen. So I'm just
thinking in terms of especially especially our cultural impact. And you know, I
hope I don't wear you out with this, but I feel like this what
the Lord wants to say. So I'm just going to be obedient to it,
especially our cultural impact. I feel like that there's a couple of things
going on sometimes with some of us, not all of us. Some of
us were leaning in and I'm just I've got nothing but praise and thanksgiving for
you. But some of us need the lean in harder. Some of us
need the lean in deeper. And with regard to our cultural influence, I
think sometimes we aren't being more aggressive because we're waiting on Arama. Arama is
a living word, right. Arama is Arama is a quickened word. There's
the logos and there's the rama, two words that mean different things concerning the
Word of God. The rama is the quickened word. The living word is
when Holy Spirit gives you a download and makes something alive to your heart.
May bee a scripture or maybe just a visitation on your heart. It could
be an audible word, or it seems audible because it's so powerful to you.
Do you know what I'm talking about? Many times we talk about it
in our circle here as a prophetic word. Right. Many times there's a
prophetic word given. And when that prophetic word is given a lot of times
it may not make sense, but it quickens something within. Maybe there's a
goosebump or something to bear witness. You ever have anything like that happen.
I do sometimes, and that's what I mean by a rama. And so
sometimes we aren't being more aggressive in our cultural dynamic, our cultural push,
our expression of ministry. And by the way, you're all in full time
ministry. Just look next door to one another. Remember I'm the equipper here.
We have equippers here, but you're all in the ministry. And what
the equippers do is they equip the ministers for ministry. So you're in full
time ministry and you're a tent making ministry. You're in tent making ministry.
You don't need a love offering. You're going to make tents and do whatever
you need to do to stay engaged in ministry. So whatever you're doing,
it may be a very valid expression of your gifting, but it's also the
open door into a realm of influence. Don't shout me down just because I'm
preaching good woo. So sometimes though, I think that we aren't being more
aggressive because we're waiting on a rama, but we're not realizing that it actually
starts with the hope that's in you. That rama's from God, a visitation
from Holy Spirit about your influence at the coffee shopp or your influence in the
doctor's office, Doctor Craig, or your influence in your law firm, Miss
Sarah, or your influence in the property management firm, Miss Peggy, or
wherever you are kind of dispatched. Your influence increases as you manifest this white
hot hope over the thing that is before you. And so sometimes I think
we're waiting on a ramo, We're waiting on another word from God, or
a special word from God, or a quickened word from God for us to
be more aggressive. But the aggressiveness starts with the hope that's in you.
Now, what are you hoping about those that are right in front of you
right now? What are you hoping about your family? What are you hoping
about the school system? We've got this guy coming on the twenty eighth,
it's a Wednesday night. We want you to come. We want you to
to bring all over your friends. Why well, because we want to take
over. Oh that sounds like Christian nationalism, Absolutely, yes it does.
Yes, we want Christ to be supreme everywhere, even in the schools.
Yes, even in the schools. Oh, you want prayer back in schools?
Why not? You want the word of God back in schools. Absolutely.
You want creationism back in schools. Absolutely, you want evolution out of
schools. Absolutely. Now, this is a good point. This is a
good point is that I think that Christians have abdicated education over to darkness.
And even though somebodys have served as teachers, for the most part, we
don't do what darkness does. When the darkness is upset about something, they
are passionate. They are white hart about it, they're freaked out about it,
they're protesting about it. They're doing weird stuff like in lights you would
have done. They're sitting around naked, they're blocking cars on the roads,
They're doing the goofiest stuff on the planet. To say we're done with this
and we don't want it. Christians don't do that. We just kind of
go on and go on, or we decide, well, let's just signs
at the time the Lord's coming back. Pretty soon, it's all getting worse.
I think I'll just get a third car while we're going through this.
Maybe I can get a You see what I'm saying. We're focused on Ourgoshian
instead of focused on transforming Egypt, and our calling is that we're called the
war You're not called to just hang out with a harp somewhere, have a
lemonade and tea and not do anything. Heavens do, Betsy. We are
warriors. We're called the war. War is. It's kind of you know,
you get your clothes stand and it's kind of dirty and messy, and
you might bleed a little here and there, and you take risks, and
you're doing stuff that's crazy uncomfortable. Right. So a lot of this,
though it starts, I think it starts more with hope, more with desire,
more with you brooding over the things you desire to see changed in prayer.
And this is the part of why the enemy doesn't want Christians praying is
because prayer is how you brood over the darkness and the chaos that is before
you. Prayer is how you brood over the darkness and the chaos that you
see the Holy Spirit, the Spirit. Genesis one one, the Spirit was
brooding over the darkness. We have that one somewhere. I found out that
they've revised the King James. There's the new King James. You know,
you should never revise something that's decent, you know, I know, maybe
you didn't like King James I mean, he wasn't the greatest guy, but
all these guys that were looking for him, maybe the Holy Shirt was leaving
him right. And so I'm looking for brood because the word is brood Genesis
one one, it's brood, and I'm looking. And now even the King
James has been revised. It's pull it up back there, you got it.
It's it's move. I think it's moved the Holy Spirit hubvering, hovering.
It works. You know what a hovercraft is. I'm gonna say it's
fairly good. Hovering is okay. I think the NIV says moving. But
I like the old King James. I like brood because brooding it's like incubation,
incubation, brooding over the waters, over the darkness, booting over the
chaos. This is what prayer is. Holy Spirit has given us an invitation,
even when we read the Lord's prayer, pray Thy Kingdom Come, Thy
will be done on earth. This is an invitation for you to brood over
the darkness in front of you, to brood over the darkness before you,
knowing that he has something better that he wants to bring. And even if
you don't have a word on it, it starts with your hope. It
starts with what you're hoping for. Faith is receiving the assurance. Faith is
having the evidence of things hope for Hebrews eleven one. Faith is faith is
so faith and hope are very interrelated, right, They're very interrelated. And
that's why I'm saying that I think it starts more with you hoping, with
me hoping, and maybe we're not hoping enough. Now this doesn't hit you,
well, it's all right, Praise the Lord. We had decent coffee,
we had donad holds. But I feel like that either we're not hoping
enough, or we're not brooding over our hopes in prayer. And you actually
the way it works as you're supposed to brood over your hopes until you hear
from heaven, because the assurance, the evidence of faith is actually the download
of a word from God. It comes when you hear from heaven. It
comes when you and this is what we used to call praying through. Anybody
will enough to remember that terminology in the building. Praying through was something that
you you did, you did it until and this is this is somewhat the
context of Blue eighteen of the Little Lady Who was facing the unjust judge.
This is the somewhat the context of ask, seek and knock, so somewhat
the context. It's not like it's not like God is heart of hearing.
It's not like you're not going to get your answers. It's not like you
stay in petition forever. You know, I'm an anti petition kind of guy.
You know that. If you've been here, you know that, right,
I'm not big on petition. Right, We don't. We don't live
in the realm of petition. We live out of victory. We live out
of the heavenlys. We live from victory to victory. So we don't dwell
in petition because we aren't beggars. We are joint heirs with Jesus. We
are co heirs of the earth. We are we are are seated in heavenly
places with them. But sometimes sometimes we also need to hear a thing.
And so James One says, if you don't know, if you don't have
the answer, if you don't have the assurance, if you don't have the
inner evidence by the download of the word of God, then ask God,
who gives liberally. So we press in and we ask of God. We
petition God, and this is what we see the ancients doing this, and
this is the the you know, the model for this is in the life
of Abraham. So I think sometimes our hopes are too small. Sometimes we're
not hoping at all. Sometimes we're not brooding over our hopes with prayer.
And then sometimes I think we have received a rama, but we're getting distracted
from it, We're getting pulled off. It's easy to get distracted from a
rama. It's even like the Restored Life rama. So I believe the Lord
wants us me to take the restored life to the nations, to America,
right, but it's easy to get distracted. So I've had hope on that.
My hope's been upgraded with a word on that, and so now I
can partner with them. And it says with regard to Abram Abraham Roman chapter
four, twenty eighteen through twenty one, it says that in hope against hope,
he continued to believe. He considered that his body was as good as
dead. But in hope against so it'll be continuably counting that him who promised
was well able to perform, and he grew strong and faith giving glory to
God. He drew strong in faith giving glory to God. So he watered
the faith. He kept his faith alive in the midst of the delay through
praise, through thanksgiving, through worship. Right, But there's a cooperation also
where we're not distracted, like I could keep thinking the Lord that restored life's
going to go to the nation and do nothing, and it wouldn't go to
the nation. That's where James says further, Oh, let me remind you,
though faith without works is dead. Faith alone without works, the amplified
says, without corresponding action, faith without correspond and the action is as good
as no faith at all. So even though you're rejoicing, God's gonna do
this, He's gonna take reshored life to the nations. Hai allahlujah. God's
making away for us. If you don't show up with shoe leather and print
some books, if you don't show up where you are dispatched and do something
with the rima that you have, then it's as good as dead because he
doesn't do it without you. He does it with you. Is that all
right? Woo? So I want to talk a little bit about vision and
hope a little bit. I think vision and hope I want to just meditate
on that is. So, what are you hoping for? Right? What
are you hoping for? And maybe here's some questions for you? And and
are you burning with hope? Because the Lord loves the burning of hope.
He loves the burning of hope so crazy that that it's interrogative with God,
like, let's do this Lord, who will hope and desire with a red
hot desire the saving of business owners in our region? Well, John Diana
just started a small group for leading in business. That's pretty cool. That
could be the beginning of something right there. Who will hope and desire with
the red hot desire to reach their neighborhood with the gospel? Now hope,
what happens with hope? Hope is an inner vision hope synonyms in the Bible
desire vision hope, desire vision hope. Yeah, I don't know if I
should go to the neighbors though, I don't know if I should really go
to the businesses. I really don't know if I should start praying over your
hope, brood over your hope with prayer, brood over the darkness that you
see concerning the hope and that which animates your hope, brood over that with
prayer and see if a rama doesn't come. If a rama comes, then
you can walk on water. If a rama comes, you can move forward.
If a rama comes, something's going to happen. Doctor Craig shared at
the last Monday at the Kingdom School of Transformation, as well as doctor Gary.
They were both with me on Monday night just testifying to the crazy miracles
in their lives that have happened as they just stepped out and God just began
to open up doors and give them favor and do amazing, amazing things in
their sphere of influence. You have a sphere of influence. Who will hope
and desire with a red hot desire for the salvation of their state representative?
Who even knows the name of their state representative in this room, Who will
hope and desire with the red hot desire the restoration of creation science back in
public schools We shouted about it a moment ago. But who will hope with
a red hot hope and get before the Lord about that so much so that
they receive a rama from the Lord. Because the Lord's looking for hopers.
What he's looking for is hopers. Faith is the substance of things hoped for.
He's looking for hopers. If he can find a hoper, he can
make a deposit of a word over them and begin to shift everything that pertains
to that hope. And he doesn't need you to hope about everything. Look,
come in here in this room. God's going to multiply this many times
over. He's going to fill this house with hopers who upgrade the faithers because
words come, because they see themselves as warriors for the king. You are
a warrior for the king, But it starts with you getting red hot with
some hope that's bigger than just your own stuff. You're called to be a
warrior for the king, and all these things will be added to you.
Your stuff will be added to you. Who will hope with a red hot
desire for all of the nations coming to Jesus? How about even one nation?
How about even one nation? How about just one nation? Who would
hope that just one nation would come and Psalm too would be fulfilled? Ask
of me, and I will give you the nations as your inheritance. Who
would just hope for one nation to come? Well, I don't know if
I should. I don't have a rama on that. You don't need a
rama. Look in your heart. Are you passionate for a nation? Yeah,
a little bit. Then start brooding over that nation in prayer. Start
brooding over that nation in prayer, and see if there doesn't come a visitation
a rama. Download it to your heart that will give you the power to
walk on water to save that nation or an aspect of that nation, who
will hope with the red hot desire for the salvation of Israel. Just think
if a bunch of us, you know, I was seeing this morning,
you know, I guess because I was watching a movie on Elizabeth the I
but on the airplane. But you know, I don't know. I was
just seeing you know, this kingdom thing where people are dispatched and they go
out, then they come back with a report like, wow, this happened
over here in this in this part of the kingdom. And then somebody else
come back, this happened over here in this part of the kingdom. And
then somebody goes out, this happened over here in this part of the kingdom.
Church, we are not church attenders. Church, we are not consumers.
We are kingdom builders. We are demon slayers, We are culture changers.
We are world revivalists. We are so this is normative for us,
as you all should be running in here with a note every Sunday morning,
just handing me a note. This happened out here in the medical science realm.
This happened over here in the real estate. This happened over here with
family. This happened over here with schools this week. This happened over here.
God is praying over this, not solve vision this. I know this
is gonna come to past. God's gonna give us this, and God's going
to give us that. The spirit in you is a spirit of dominion,
not a spirit of slumber. It's not time for another break. You're not
unionized anyway, no union in the kingdom. Thank you, who will hope
and desire for the salvation of children being raised right now in this nation without
the knowledge of God, who will hope with a red hot desire. This
vision has to fill your mind. What it means is the vision of such
a hope fills your mind that you're thinking about it, and then you begin
to brood over the darkness that you see that contradicts the hope within you.
You begin to brood over it with prayer, and you brood over it until
you have an assurance that you can walk on water to make a difference in
shifting that because faith is the assurance of things hoped for the evidence of things
not seen. Well, Okay, who will hope and desire with a red
hot desire for the salvation of the tribe? Who will hope with a red
hot desire for the salvation of the pullup tribe? Who will hope with a
red hot desire for the salvation of the incarcerated in Washington State? Mind the
right Church? You can't. We do not live unto ourselves. You you
have no permission to live unto yourself. You are bought with a price.
You live for him. I am crucified daily. I want to talk.
I want to take you through something real quick, just again again. You
know, what are you focusing on? Right? And then I'm going to
take you real quick into a couple of thoughts about Abraham. Then we're going
to close. Yell, Okay, they'll love me a couple thoughts real quick
before we get to Abraham. So, but it's it's what you focus on,
right, What are you focusing on? What you're focusing on is so
important. It's where the enemy can grab us. Right, Eve saw that
the fruit looked good to the eye. What we focus on determines who we
partner with. If we focus on things that are negative, critical, dark,
if we focus on things that are hopeless, If we focus on things,
if we make negativity our focus, then we partner with the unclean realm.
And so that way you can actually rewrite Hebrews eleven one. You could
say fear is the substance of things hoped for or of hopelessness, and the
evidence of things not seen, because fear is faith as well. Fear is
his faith in a cursed or negative or harmful future manifestation or circumstance with regard
to expectation. Right, the ten went in to see the promised land.
You remember this. The ten spies went in, and what they focus on.
We saw ourselves as grasshoppers. We saw ourselves as grasshoppers. This was
their focus. David came up against Goliath. Everybody else saw that at him
as a giant. David saw him as teeny compared to the giant size of
his God. Focus, vision, hope, desire, These are interrelated,
these are synonyms. They all worked together in our hearts create an inner vision,
and that inner vision either welcomes the partnership of Holy Spirit or it welcomes
the partnership of unclean spirits. When we brood over what we hope for or
what we're hopeless about, when we brood over it in prayer, When we
brood over what we hope for in prayer, that invites Holy Spirit. Holy
Spirit loves that he's crazy over your red hot brooding and your prayer, and
that invites him to come and bring something prophetic. That rama. Now let's
stand, I'm getting close. It's so interesting. You know, the passionate
hope of Abram in the context of Covenant. Everybody say Covenant. The passionate
hope of Abram in the context of Covenant was lineage. What good is a
covenant if you don't have lineage? And so as if God didn't know it,
he would bring this up to God. And this happened over several instances,
and God would say, I'm gonna bless you, and he would say,
I don't have a son, I don't have lineage, I don't have
an air. We can't give all this stuff to a servant in my house
Eliezer. So the passionate hope within him. This is interesting, the passionate
hope within him, which was a valid, noble, upright hope within him
for a son to come from him, and Sarah was for lineage so that
the covenant would go on and that the word would be fulfilled. But you'll
notice there was out of that hope, and God knew that hope was going
to be there, by the way, when he called him out in Genesis
chapter twelve. Out of that hope then comes the rama, comes the promise.
There's the rama in Genesis fifteen. We won't go there. You'll have
to look at yourself. Trust me. There's the rama in Genesis fifteen.
Then there's another rama, another word. And this is over twenty five You
know that's happening over twenty five years, right. But in the last year,
in the twenty fourth year, he visits Abram again and says, I'm
going to change your name now. So the last year he called himself Abraham
and Sarah instead of Abram and SARAHI. And all of this, all the
way through, is the shifting of focus, and it's the reward of his
hope. He's hoping for a son, and God's visiting him. But what's
interesting about it, and I think I want to go here because I think
sometimes this happens to us, is that what happens is Abraham is the father
of faith, and so that means he's the model of those who walk by
faith. And I think what happens is sometimes it happens to us too,
is that there's hope, and then we brood over that hope in prayer,
and then God gives us a rama, and that rama is like a quickening
and empowering toward some aspect of ministry and influence or you know, just doing
something for God right. But then it all dies. And I think there's
Christians worldwide that when it dies that they just walk away from it. But
it only dies because whenever the rama comes, our first reaction is to try
to fulfill it with too much of us. We try to fulfill the vision.
Though it's though it was birthed with noble hope, and though a rayma
came and the prophetic bore a witness to it, we try to fulfill it
with too much of us, and so it has to die. It has
to die because we have to die to fulfilling it. And so that's what
happened with Abraham and Sarah. I'm talking to you that have given up.
Many in this room have given up on stuff that you knew you were called
to, but you gave up. And what happens is very similar. God
let Abraham and Sarah, Abram and Sarah. He let them die reproductively.
And in the midst of that, Abram said to God, he said,
oh, that Ishmael could live before you. Can't we just do this with
you? Know, I made a mistake with Hagar. Oh that, Oh
that that mistake could live before you and be the heir of my estate.
And the Lord said, never, It's never going to happen that way.
It's going to be by my power. It's going to be my grace.
It's going to be to my glory. It's going to be my way.
And all he and by the way, all he wanted was a son.
Right. But God says, no, No, this is so much bigger.
It's going to be all the nations, it's going to be all the
earth. But I'm just I'm speaking to something in all of you. I
want you to close your eyes for a moment, bow your head's close your
eyes just in reverence before the Lord. Because what happened is there was a
visitation in that last year and when he changed his name, there was a
visitation Genesis seventeen, and that in that visitation, God again swears to fulfill
what it is that will come out of these two people. Now that he's
dead. He has no he's ninety nine, he has no seed left in
him. Her womb is dead, she has no eggs left in her.
And God visits them and says, at this time next year, you're gonna
have a child. And it says that Abraham laughed. Now we don't know
if that was like a cynical laugh or what that laugh was, but it
was it was of such a nature that God said, oh, you're gonna
laugh. Great, you're gonna name the child. Laughter. And what happens
is is that when we acknowledge that we can't do the vision, we can't
fulfill it on our own, and we totally yield to him, then there's
the rebirth of the vision. And I think there's some of you in this
room that God wants to rebirth visions in you and words over you. He
wants to rebirth raimas concerning you, because it only died because there was too
much of you. But you've come to a place now where you're you realize,
you're like, you're done and you can't do it, and you acknowledge
you can't do it. But now he wants to acknowledge. He wants you
to acknowledge it's still going to come to pass. And you're looking at yourself,
and you're looking at your ability or your skill, or your age,
or your money or your resource ver your like oh yeah God, and you're
laughing like, oh oh yeah, sure, Okay, Well I mean if
you can, I mean, if you want to, all right, let's
do it. Then he's saying, yes, I want to. He's saying,
yes, I want to, and I will. And at about this
time next year, everything's going to be shifted for you. About this time
next year, everything's going to be shifted for you. So I think he's
laughing over you, but it's the laughter of joy and in Isaac's gonna come
forth. So Holy Spirit, I don't know if that applies to some of
you, but I'm going to ask the prayer team to come and just as
we close this morning, if that applies to some of you, and what
he's asking for right now, is just your cooperation to come into the laughter
of yes, and maybe he's you're at a spot now where there's just there's
no way. I mean, at least before we could have got pregnant.
Lord, but you're like, no, there's no way, there's no way
I could do that, bring that influence, that develop that change that,
there's no way. If that's you this morning, come up, Come up
and maybe laugh as you come. Prayer team, come quickly, fair team,
come quickly. Elder's gume, Prair warriors, gum. If you're if
you, if you're able and willing to pray for some of these folks.
Holy Spirit, we welcome you right now. Show us what we've allowed to
die, Show us what we've allowed to die, Show us what we've allowed
to die, what we gave up on. But yet there was a word
from above. There was a word from above. There was a rama over
us. There was a visitation that was once present. And when it died,
we thought it's dead, and we became disillusioned. We became disheartened,
we became discouraged. We might have even become embittered because it died. But
it didn't die, because it was your will. Holy Spirit. Didn't die
because you wanted it to die. It died because there was too much of
us. Holy Spirit. Holy Spirit, we ask you this warning to revive
things that have died. Revive things that have died. Revived things that have
died. Revived things that have died. Revive things that have died. Holy
Spirit, renew our hearts, restore our trust in you. I'm getting the
idea of some of you. It's even like pregnancy, physical pregnancy and a
child. Like some of you, it's childbirth and like having a child.
The Holy Spirit wants to revive your not just your hope. He wants to
make a download of faith, to kiss you with the word from above.
That lineage is yours, and he's bringing children out of your womb. Holy
Spirit, we rejoice in you this morning. We rejoice in you this morning.
We've rejoiced in you this morning. Just examine your heart. Examine your
heart. I know there's multiple prongs to this message this morning, but just
examine your heart to things. Maybe those of you standing here this morning you
realize you've not been hoping with red hot hope. You've not been hoping with
red hot hope. Shift your internal, your inner man, your imagination realm,
your visionary realm, your hope realm. Just begin to shift it right
now. Begin to shift it right now into overdrive. Lean into the Holy
Spirit right now, to begin to shift not only your hope into a red
hot realm, but to begin to brood over specific things with prayer, prayer.
The spirit was brooding over the face of the deep. The spirit was
brooding over the face of the deep. Prayer is an invitation for you to
brood over the face of the deep, for you to brood over the darkness
that you see in front of you. Just bring that before the Lord right
now. Allow a shift to take place with you. Allow a shift to
take place with you that even from this moment on, you're going to begin
to pray with specific prayers, hope filled prayers, looking for a word from
above, look looking for an assurance, looking for that raima word, that
living word from the Lord that will enable you with a grace beyond anything you've
had before. Thank you, Holy Spirit, Thank you, Holy Spirit.
You're present right now. You're present right now. Others of you, others
of you, you honestly need to repent for not leaning into the word you've
had. You honestly need to repent for not brooding over not brooding over partnering
with rejoicing over the words that you've had, continuing in prayer, continuing in
thanksgiving, continuing in praise, knowing that he who made the promise is well
able to bring it to pass. Knowing that he who made the promise is
well able to pass, He's well able to bring it to pass, He's
well able to bring at the pass. Romans for says that Abraham grew strong
in his faith, giving glory to God even though, at the age of
ninety nine, he saw that his body was dead. He saw the barrenness
of Sarah's womb, he saw that her body was dead, but he continued
to grow strong in his faith, giving glory to God, acknowledging that he
who made the promise was well able to bring it to pass. This is
where some of us need to put on our praise, our praise shoes,
our praise briches. We need to put on our praise shout. We're looking
too much at negativity instead of looking at the promise that was already made,
looking at the promise that was already made, realizing that he who made the
promise is well able to to pass. He's well able to bring it to
pass, and he shall bring it to pass. He's not limited by the
deadness of what I see. He is not limited by the deadness of what
I see. He's not limited by Oh, it's too late for me.
It's too late now. My womb is barren, my seeds are gone.
I have no ability in my resources to bring it to pass. He's not
limited by that. He's not limited by your ability. He would rather have
you to the end of yourself with no ability. He would rather have you
to the end of yourself. So it's got to be a miracle. It's
got to be, in Isaac, it's got to be a miracle. It's
got to be something that comes to pass and brings laughter, because it was
of the Lord. Do it, Lord, do it, Lord, do
it. Lord, do it. Lord, do it. Lord, do
it. Lord, do it. Lord, do it. Lord. Don't
be ashamed of your hopes. Do not be ashamed of your hopes. If
all you have is hope, do not despise your hope. Do not despise
your hope. Hope is what you need. Hope is the beginning of a
breakthrough. Hope is what the Spirit realm is looking for. Heaven is looking
for those who will brood over their hopes with prayer. Your hope is what
gives Holy Spirit the access to come and visit you. Your hope is what's
giving Holy Spirit the invitation. If you'll bring your hope in prayer, then
the prayer concerning your hope is an invitation for Holy Spirit to come and minister
to you, and visit you, and bring you a word, and bring
you a dream, and bring you a vision, and lead you with a
rama from above
