WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:09.400 Okay, never bored them at New Horizon. And if you need to know 2 00:00:09.519 --> 00:00:12.800 more about all that, go to all of our media stuff. Let's stand 3 00:00:12.839 --> 00:00:22.239 for over the word this morning. Dive in. Oh Father, you're so 4 00:00:22.359 --> 00:00:28.280 good. We appreciate your ministry and our manstweet. Thank you so much for 5 00:00:29.359 --> 00:00:36.079 the witness of Holy Spirit to us, couponing us. We ask you to 6 00:00:36.119 --> 00:00:40.439 write on our hearts in the next few moments, open the eyes of our 7 00:00:40.520 --> 00:00:45.240 understanding. Continue what you've begun here today. Thank you for it in Jesus 8 00:00:45.320 --> 00:00:50.719 name. Everybody said, Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen. Maybe seated, 9 00:00:55.920 --> 00:01:00.560 I want to I want to jump. I want to jump into a 10 00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:03.439 little bit of where I was last week, And so if you were here, 11 00:01:03.519 --> 00:01:07.280 you'll have a little bit of an advantage. But I talked a little 12 00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:11.920 bit about the macro plan of God and that the macro plan of God looks 13 00:01:12.239 --> 00:01:17.680 a lot like deliverance and that and one of the things that you know, 14 00:01:17.719 --> 00:01:25.280 we're seeing talking about is that the deliverance ministry actually proceeds restoration ministry. And 15 00:01:25.439 --> 00:01:29.599 as it is in the macro with God, so it is in the micro 16 00:01:30.079 --> 00:01:37.000 with God. I'm the micro, you're the micro. And so I want 17 00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:42.640 to go back real quick to first Shrinthian's fifteen twenty four and read that with 18 00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:49.480 you again and just kind of set the stage for this macro view of what 19 00:01:49.599 --> 00:01:55.000 God is up to, not so much like I'm not talking about in this 20 00:01:55.120 --> 00:01:59.359 moment or what to expect or who's going to be the president, or I'm 21 00:01:59.400 --> 00:02:06.200 talking about from this first advent of Jesus until the last Advent of Jesus. 22 00:02:06.959 --> 00:02:10.599 So and we call that the second coming or the rapture, whatever whatever you 23 00:02:10.919 --> 00:02:16.439 whatever terminology would use, the Lord returning from the first to the last. 24 00:02:17.319 --> 00:02:25.159 The picture that we get is that the victory over Satan began here at the 25 00:02:25.240 --> 00:02:36.479 first advent, but the victory continues progressively until darkness is banished. So first 26 00:02:36.479 --> 00:02:40.719 Corinthens fifteen twenty four and twenty five. Then the end will come, everybody 27 00:02:40.759 --> 00:02:46.240 say, Then, then the end will come when he hands over the kingdom 28 00:02:46.280 --> 00:02:51.439 to God the Father, after he has destroyed all dominion, authority, and 29 00:02:51.680 --> 00:02:55.879 power. For he must reign until he has put all of his enemies under 30 00:02:55.919 --> 00:02:59.240 his feet. And then it goes on. I didn't put it in there, 31 00:02:59.240 --> 00:03:02.280 but verse twenty. And the last enemy that will be destroyed as death. 32 00:03:04.599 --> 00:03:07.520 And that's what he's doing on that last day. So and then I 33 00:03:07.599 --> 00:03:10.639 tied that last week, I tied that also the Ephees in three eight, 34 00:03:10.960 --> 00:03:16.199 I don't have it in the lineup today of scriptures, where it says that 35 00:03:16.280 --> 00:03:22.960 this mystery that was hidden through the ages has now been revealed, and that 36 00:03:23.319 --> 00:03:27.439 through the Church, through the Church, not just to the church, but 37 00:03:27.599 --> 00:03:36.039 through the Church, that God is revealing the power and the authority that displaces 38 00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:45.280 the delonic realme. So he began with something here that actually loosed this authority 39 00:03:45.319 --> 00:03:51.439 and this victory to us, so that we become the ambassadors, we become 40 00:03:51.479 --> 00:03:59.039 the deputies, We become the overcomers more than overcomers who worked this out in 41 00:03:59.199 --> 00:04:05.759 time, and so that when we get to the last day darkness, the 42 00:04:05.840 --> 00:04:11.400 authority of the enemy has been banished. And this, you know, this 43 00:04:11.479 --> 00:04:15.839 kind of stuff, it's congruent with Ephesians four eleven through thirteen, or eleven 44 00:04:15.879 --> 00:04:25.519 through fifteen. Ephesians four, where it says that the ministry of apostle, 45 00:04:26.040 --> 00:04:32.759 prophet, teacher, the fivefold ministry, that those ministries continue until we all 46 00:04:32.800 --> 00:04:40.680 come into the maturity of Christ, to the full stature of Christ, and 47 00:04:40.759 --> 00:04:46.319 to the true knowledge and the full knowledge of the sun. So we see, 48 00:04:46.920 --> 00:04:53.639 we see this growing body of knowledge, this growing maturity of people through 49 00:04:53.720 --> 00:04:59.079 time, and we see what they're up to is banishing the enemy. What 50 00:04:59.199 --> 00:05:03.480 they're up to is dismissing darkness. What they're up to is overcoming darkness. 51 00:05:05.319 --> 00:05:12.800 Yeah, let me read you another one. Because all of creation is groaning. 52 00:05:12.839 --> 00:05:17.680 You ever groaned, All of creation is groaning for this very thing to 53 00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:29.279 mature, because the maturation of this work of the Lord in us is going 54 00:05:29.360 --> 00:05:34.959 to liberate all of creation. All of creation becomes liberated as the sons of 55 00:05:35.040 --> 00:05:39.800 God rise up into who they are, the daughters of God, the sons 56 00:05:39.800 --> 00:05:44.560 of God. They rise up into who they are, and then are loosed 57 00:05:44.600 --> 00:05:51.120 in the earth to deliver the planet, to overcome darkness, and to walk 58 00:05:51.160 --> 00:06:00.480 in essentially the fullness of God, the restoration that He's ordained for us Romans 59 00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:04.360 eight nineteen through twenty one. For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits 60 00:06:04.399 --> 00:06:10.040 for the revealing of the sons of God. For the creation was subjected to 61 00:06:10.120 --> 00:06:14.800 futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it in hope. 62 00:06:16.199 --> 00:06:26.360 It was subjected in hope. He saw you when all this started because the 63 00:06:26.360 --> 00:06:33.040 creation itself will also be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty 64 00:06:33.639 --> 00:06:38.920 of the children of God or the sons of God. That's interesting. You 65 00:06:38.959 --> 00:06:44.279 come into liberty first, then creation will also be delivered in de liberty. 66 00:06:44.600 --> 00:06:48.759 You are set free from corruption first, then creation will be set free from 67 00:06:48.759 --> 00:07:00.600 corruption. So there's this crazy, amazing progression that we're called to. We're 68 00:07:00.639 --> 00:07:08.680 called to much more than spiritual salvation. We're calling them much more than than 69 00:07:08.759 --> 00:07:15.720 just spiritual salvation, meaning to be born of the spirit and our trust is 70 00:07:15.839 --> 00:07:20.920 in Heaven as our home, and that we will go to heaven when we 71 00:07:21.000 --> 00:07:28.439 die. You're called them much more than that. You're called to manifest the 72 00:07:28.480 --> 00:07:32.680 glory of God in the earth. You and I. We can't manifest the 73 00:07:32.680 --> 00:07:41.560 glory of God and the earth unless we partner with Him for overcoming the enemy 74 00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:50.079 and becoming living epistles of the judgment that's been written against the enemy. We 75 00:07:50.199 --> 00:07:57.560 become the living epistles of the judgment that's been written against the enemy. And 76 00:07:57.759 --> 00:08:07.319 essentially that's what Jesus was. Jesus was the judge and the judgment. Jesus 77 00:08:07.480 --> 00:08:11.519 was the judge and the judgment against the enemy and the way we see the 78 00:08:11.560 --> 00:08:16.480 way we see a judgment carried out. I talked to you last week a 79 00:08:16.519 --> 00:08:22.000 little bit about it. When the folks lived in our house during COVID without 80 00:08:22.040 --> 00:08:28.120 paying their rent and destroying the house. We needed a judgment. And the 81 00:08:28.199 --> 00:08:33.080 way we understand a judgment issued out of a court is very much like what 82 00:08:33.159 --> 00:08:39.759 God's up to right now with and through us, is that it has various 83 00:08:39.799 --> 00:08:43.600 aspects to it. Right it has aspects to it. And one of the 84 00:08:43.720 --> 00:08:48.600 aspects that we need the partner with God. And that's why we're going further 85 00:08:48.639 --> 00:08:52.039 in this message. One of the aspects that we need to partner with God 86 00:08:52.200 --> 00:09:01.720 in is the aspect of restoration. The aspect of restoration is one of the 87 00:09:01.879 --> 00:09:07.240 partnership aspects, so that not only do we embrace deliverance as a remnant people 88 00:09:07.639 --> 00:09:16.159 a prototype of what God's doing the ambassadors, the deputies of the Ministry of 89 00:09:16.279 --> 00:09:20.240 Jesus and the earth, not only do we embrace deliverance, which in a 90 00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:33.159 judgment, in a judgment is seen as evicting or dismissing or overcoming those who 91 00:09:33.240 --> 00:09:41.639 have brought harm, who have stolen, who have plundered. Right so that's 92 00:09:41.759 --> 00:09:43.240 that's the first part. We believe in that. We believe in deliverance. 93 00:09:43.279 --> 00:09:50.600 We believe in deliverance ministry. We believe in a judgment against the enemy and 94 00:09:50.639 --> 00:09:56.159 then evicting be it out of our lives, our hearts, our church, 95 00:09:56.639 --> 00:10:05.360 our family, our communities, our cities, evicting, dismissing darkness, the 96 00:10:05.559 --> 00:10:13.399 powers that shouldn't be here. They're here illicitly. They're here trespassing, they're 97 00:10:13.399 --> 00:10:20.080 here against the Christ, They're here to bring harm. But we have a 98 00:10:20.200 --> 00:10:26.399 judgment from the Supreme One that they are now trespassing, that they're no longer 99 00:10:26.720 --> 00:10:33.559 welcomed here, that we don't need to yield to them anymore in our body, 100 00:10:33.679 --> 00:10:37.320 in our soul, in our family, in our marriage, in our 101 00:10:37.440 --> 00:10:41.720 church, in our community, we no longer need, so we dismiss them. 102 00:10:43.799 --> 00:10:46.759 So we come into agreement with that. But there's another part of the 103 00:10:46.840 --> 00:10:52.799 judgment. The other part of the judgment is the judge says, oh, 104 00:10:52.840 --> 00:11:00.639 this is what they owe you. The other part of the judge is where 105 00:11:00.679 --> 00:11:05.480 the judge says, this is what they because of their violation, because of 106 00:11:05.519 --> 00:11:11.159 their theft, because of their wrongful action against you, because of their deception 107 00:11:11.200 --> 00:11:15.720 and their coercion. This is what they owe you, and so you get 108 00:11:15.720 --> 00:11:22.399 a judgment for me. There's a judgment of several thousand dollars due to the 109 00:11:22.600 --> 00:11:35.120 misuse of my home right. And we see Jesus is also representing that judgment 110 00:11:35.480 --> 00:11:41.159 with regard to the people and with regard to the nations. And one of 111 00:11:41.159 --> 00:11:46.799 the clearest places to see it is in Isaiah chapter forty two. In Isaiah 112 00:11:46.840 --> 00:11:52.879 chapter forty two, it's it's God through the prophet Isaiah. He's speaking over 113 00:11:52.000 --> 00:11:58.480 Israel. He's speaking over the people, and he's actually talking about how they've 114 00:11:58.519 --> 00:12:03.639 been taken advantage. They've been stolen away, they've been deceived, they've been 115 00:12:03.679 --> 00:12:09.440 plundered, they've been harmed. His heart is for them, and he yearns 116 00:12:09.519 --> 00:12:15.679 for them, and he yearns for them to be brought back. He yearns 117 00:12:15.720 --> 00:12:22.559 for them to be restored. God is a god of restoration, overcoming the 118 00:12:22.679 --> 00:12:28.639 enemy, that getting getting the tenant out, getting darkness out, the macro 119 00:12:30.360 --> 00:12:37.320 plan of God to dismiss darkness. It's only it's only half of the equation 120 00:12:37.519 --> 00:12:43.320 of a judgment. The other half is to get back what was taken. 121 00:12:46.600 --> 00:12:50.159 The other half is to get back what was taken. So It's interesting, 122 00:12:50.240 --> 00:12:54.480 Isaa forty two. We have this crazy passage, and it reminds me. 123 00:12:54.840 --> 00:13:01.399 It reminds me quite a bit of what we do with little ones. We 124 00:13:01.519 --> 00:13:07.200 do this with little ones. And you know, I'm sure it was done 125 00:13:07.200 --> 00:13:11.159 with me a lot, because I was kind of rian out of control. 126 00:13:13.440 --> 00:13:18.240 My parents couldn't figure out where I came from. But you know, if 127 00:13:18.279 --> 00:13:24.440 we see Easton, this is a grandchildren talk five of which you know we 128 00:13:24.519 --> 00:13:33.679 have. If we see Easton wrongfully take a toy from Judah right, then 129 00:13:33.240 --> 00:13:41.759 a Judah might even say he's got my toy right. And so then authority 130 00:13:41.840 --> 00:13:48.200 steps in and says, potentially in a gentle way. Depending on how the 131 00:13:48.240 --> 00:13:52.440 first time goes, could be there a raised tone if the first If the 132 00:13:52.440 --> 00:13:56.320 first attempt doesn't go well, it could be there's a raised tone in the 133 00:13:56.360 --> 00:14:03.600 second attempt. Easton, give it back, Give it back. Everybody say 134 00:14:03.679 --> 00:14:09.399 give it back, Isaiah forty two, verse twenty two. But this is 135 00:14:09.440 --> 00:14:16.440 a people plundered and pillaged. All of them are trapped in caves or are 136 00:14:16.639 --> 00:14:22.720 hidden away in prisons. They have become plunder with no one to save them, 137 00:14:24.039 --> 00:14:33.159 and spoils with no one to say give them back. This is interesting 138 00:14:33.480 --> 00:14:39.120 because this is a messianic passage. This is God looking at his children, 139 00:14:43.000 --> 00:14:48.879 and essentially he's talking about the coming One. And this is what the coming 140 00:14:48.919 --> 00:14:54.679 One is going to say. The coming One is going to say to the 141 00:14:54.720 --> 00:15:01.480 realm of darkness, to the demonic realm, to Satan, the coming One 142 00:15:01.600 --> 00:15:07.480 is going to say, give them back, give them back, give them 143 00:15:07.519 --> 00:15:18.039 back. So this this is an interesting proclamation because you today, in your 144 00:15:18.240 --> 00:15:24.399 vernacular of relationships, when you make a judgment against the wrong that needs to 145 00:15:24.440 --> 00:15:33.480 be confronted and dismissed, you also find yourself saying, give it back, 146 00:15:35.559 --> 00:15:39.720 give it back. And we in Isaiah forty two, we were the it. 147 00:15:45.320 --> 00:15:52.120 Remember the Tower of Babel, prophetically speaking, this just wasn't only over 148 00:15:52.360 --> 00:15:58.279 Israel alone, but in the Tower of Bibles we come, you know to 149 00:15:58.399 --> 00:16:07.519 that whole Seventy nations were split out of that tower. Sixty nine were given 150 00:16:07.519 --> 00:16:19.240 over to darkness. Only Jacob was kept unto God. Sixty nine nations were 151 00:16:19.279 --> 00:16:26.919 lost. Jacob was the prototype and the forerunning nation that would bring forth the 152 00:16:27.000 --> 00:16:33.120 Christ. But what we see in Isaiah forty two is not only the proclamation 153 00:16:33.279 --> 00:16:41.559 of God over Israel, but this is the proclamation of God over sixty nine 154 00:16:41.200 --> 00:16:48.279 gentile nations. Give them back, give them back, give them back. 155 00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:55.039 Now, what I want you to see is that this is the This is 156 00:16:55.960 --> 00:17:00.559 the other part. This is the other expression of a judgment, because a 157 00:17:00.720 --> 00:17:14.920 judgment should result in a full restoration. A judgment should result in a full 158 00:17:15.240 --> 00:17:18.960 restoration. I'm looking around the room right now, I'm looking on the front 159 00:17:19.039 --> 00:17:23.200 row, and some of us have gone through this where we had to rise 160 00:17:23.319 --> 00:17:27.240 up against the enemy and we had to say give it back, or we 161 00:17:27.279 --> 00:17:37.880 had to say give them back. But some of us haven't understood that this 162 00:17:37.000 --> 00:17:44.960 is part. This is part of us entering into a partnership with God in 163 00:17:45.079 --> 00:17:52.640 the breakthrough that we desire and need that will shift everything in our lives as 164 00:17:52.680 --> 00:17:59.640 we partner with them. Because we, as the sons of God, we 165 00:17:59.720 --> 00:18:06.799 have become the delegates of His judgment, and as the deputies of God, 166 00:18:07.200 --> 00:18:14.160 we have become the delegates of His authority. And we don't realize so many 167 00:18:14.200 --> 00:18:18.200 times, because of the way we've been brought up in religion, we don't 168 00:18:18.240 --> 00:18:25.400 realize so many times that our partnership is needed for restoration. We think everything's 169 00:18:25.440 --> 00:18:30.599 up to Jesus, and so we're praying these prayers of submission while the enemy 170 00:18:30.799 --> 00:18:37.880 is actually tearing us up, obedient us to pieces, messing with our whole 171 00:18:37.920 --> 00:18:41.359 world. And we pray, but we keep praying these prayers, Lord help 172 00:18:41.440 --> 00:18:47.599 me, Lord help me, Lord help me, and we're yielding or we're 173 00:18:47.640 --> 00:18:52.359 submitting things to him. But he's saying, my people perish for lack of 174 00:18:52.440 --> 00:19:02.759 knowledge Jose at four six. My people perish for lack of knowledge because he's 175 00:19:02.839 --> 00:19:11.000 called us in the macro of this particular time, from the beginning to the 176 00:19:11.079 --> 00:19:15.480 end, he's called us to be the partners of his working out the judgment 177 00:19:15.640 --> 00:19:22.799 that he rendered. And the result of that is that Satan's house and the 178 00:19:22.839 --> 00:19:30.519 works of the enemy against us are plundered and we are restored. We are 179 00:19:30.599 --> 00:19:51.240 restored, So our declaration becomes super important. Matthew twenty eight. Are are 180 00:19:51.279 --> 00:19:55.359 you getting this a little bit? Let's settle in on you a little bit. 181 00:19:56.200 --> 00:19:59.480 Holy shit. We ask you to just open the eyes of our understanding. 182 00:19:59.559 --> 00:20:07.799 Right now, we talked about how that we're deputized in Jesus, and 183 00:20:07.920 --> 00:20:12.200 so we've recognized we have authority to confront the enemy. We don't need the 184 00:20:12.279 --> 00:20:18.319 yield or listen or submit to the lives of the enemy, or the works 185 00:20:18.319 --> 00:20:22.200 of the enemy against us, against our stuff, against our families, against 186 00:20:22.200 --> 00:20:29.119 our marriages, against our children, against our womb, against our finances, 187 00:20:29.839 --> 00:20:36.440 against our city, against our schools, against our communities. But now, 188 00:20:36.480 --> 00:20:40.640 Holy Spirit, you're telling us that we need to begin to shout over the 189 00:20:40.759 --> 00:20:45.279 enemy, give it back, give it back. We need to begin to 190 00:20:45.359 --> 00:20:52.559 shout over the enemy as the voice of the judgment of the Lord, as 191 00:20:52.640 --> 00:20:59.480 the voice of the judgment of the Lord over and against darkness and the enemy. 192 00:21:00.400 --> 00:21:06.240 We need to embrace what you modeled for us, that even as you 193 00:21:06.400 --> 00:21:11.920 yearned for us to come back, you begin to shout over us, give 194 00:21:11.000 --> 00:21:22.799 them back. And this is the word becoming flesh. Jesus was this word 195 00:21:22.000 --> 00:21:30.319 Isaiah forty two, twenty two. Jesus was this word becoming flesh and demanding 196 00:21:30.400 --> 00:21:36.599 that Satan would give back the nations. And the result is he won a 197 00:21:36.680 --> 00:21:42.640 great victory, and he comes from the cross declaring, all authority has been 198 00:21:42.680 --> 00:21:48.559 given me over the nations. Now go to all the nations and make disciples 199 00:21:48.599 --> 00:22:00.119 of all the nations. So he won a victory. But the fullness of 200 00:22:00.160 --> 00:22:07.640 the dominion that he foresees to banish darkness. You've empowered us to work that 201 00:22:07.720 --> 00:22:15.440 out, as we partner with him in dismissing darkness and commanding that the enemy 202 00:22:15.799 --> 00:22:22.039 give it back all that's been stolen, all that's been stolen, Give it 203 00:22:22.119 --> 00:22:40.720 back, all that's been stolen, Give it back. Last week I read 204 00:22:40.720 --> 00:22:45.599 till you probably six thirty one. Yet if he is caught, he must 205 00:22:45.599 --> 00:22:52.880 pay sevenfold, though it cost him all the month of his house. Be 206 00:22:52.960 --> 00:22:57.319 sure you catch the right thief. It's not your neighbor. You won't get 207 00:22:57.359 --> 00:23:02.480 sevenfold out of your neighbor. You won't get sevenfold out of your friend. 208 00:23:03.079 --> 00:23:07.160 You won't get sevenfold out of the boogeyman. You won't. You will only 209 00:23:07.200 --> 00:23:12.480 get sevenfold. See, there's a spiritual power orchestrating all evil against you, 210 00:23:12.599 --> 00:23:17.960 and against me and against us. The spiritual power is what you confront. 211 00:23:18.079 --> 00:23:22.880 You don't confront your neighbor and demand repayment, you won't get sevenfold that way. 212 00:23:23.359 --> 00:23:30.519 You'll only get sevenfold if you confront the spiritual power working behind your neighbor 213 00:23:30.799 --> 00:23:37.519 to bring forth the darkness that brought harm to you. If you want one 214 00:23:37.640 --> 00:23:44.240 fold, confront your neighbor and create more animosity. But if you want sevenfold, 215 00:23:45.079 --> 00:24:08.319 confront the darkness and say to the darkness, give it back. Some 216 00:24:08.400 --> 00:24:11.599 of you, some of you've been around here for a while, so you've 217 00:24:11.599 --> 00:24:18.799 heard some of our crazy stories. I've got a lot of crazy restoration stories. 218 00:24:19.240 --> 00:24:23.759 But recently I heard another one of somebody that came through Restored Life. 219 00:24:23.759 --> 00:24:26.319 So I thought, oh man, we need to hear somebody's story besides mine. 220 00:24:27.480 --> 00:24:32.240 So I can't share their name with you, but I did get permission. 221 00:24:32.279 --> 00:24:34.960 I reached out and got permission to share the story. I wish I 222 00:24:36.000 --> 00:24:38.559 could share more, because you know, the more we shared these stories, 223 00:24:38.799 --> 00:24:45.039 the more it's like it quickens our faith, right, and most of us 224 00:24:45.119 --> 00:24:56.440 just haven't embraced or made application of this authoritative declaration though we've received a judgment 225 00:24:56.559 --> 00:25:02.799 from the judge and we've even come into a level of freedom in our families 226 00:25:02.920 --> 00:25:10.279 or our own lives because we've evicted something. We haven't seen the restoration come 227 00:25:10.880 --> 00:25:19.079 because we haven't begun this declaration of give it back. So this is kind 228 00:25:19.079 --> 00:25:23.400 of fun. Though she said that, she said, I believed that I 229 00:25:23.440 --> 00:25:30.920 had authority to call back our family van that was stolen from the South Hill 230 00:25:30.000 --> 00:25:37.839 Mull, So I blessed the thieves, and then I demanded that our van 231 00:25:37.440 --> 00:25:42.680 be returned to us in Jesus name, and we were called within a few 232 00:25:42.839 --> 00:25:56.359 hours and it was returned to us. Here's another one. I demanded that 233 00:25:56.400 --> 00:26:03.400 my husband would be loosed and give back to me in Jesus name, after 234 00:26:03.640 --> 00:26:11.640 living with ten years of deception, lies and covenant breaking. I also called 235 00:26:11.720 --> 00:26:18.079 mentors into his life and that he would be free, and it happened as 236 00:26:18.119 --> 00:26:23.519 I declared it. He's been set free, he has mentored mentors in his 237 00:26:23.599 --> 00:26:33.960 life, and he's been given back to me and to my marriage. Here's 238 00:26:33.960 --> 00:26:37.920 another one. I called leaders into my kids' lives when they were not seen 239 00:26:38.240 --> 00:26:45.519 by their dad or their stepdad and have been fully abandoned. And God, 240 00:26:45.839 --> 00:26:52.680 provided he was faithful. Leaders came into their lives to take the place of 241 00:26:52.720 --> 00:27:04.240 their fathers. And God has been faithful and he's restoring my children. Many 242 00:27:04.279 --> 00:27:08.960 of you know, Mike crazy testimonies. You are family testimonies of motorbikes being 243 00:27:10.039 --> 00:27:14.640 stolen and us commanding them to be returned. And our jet skis were stolen 244 00:27:14.680 --> 00:27:19.039 from the front of our house and we commanded that they would be returned. 245 00:27:19.279 --> 00:27:23.079 We needed him for summary camping so we didn't command that they would just be 246 00:27:23.160 --> 00:27:29.519 returned. We commanded they would be returned by a particular date. I believe 247 00:27:29.559 --> 00:27:33.200 it was August eighth. This is several years ago. This is the first 248 00:27:33.319 --> 00:27:37.119 first year we had Lily, actually Lily the Lab of which we had many 249 00:27:37.119 --> 00:27:41.400 testimonies about Lily the Lab. Somebody asked me one Sunday, do you have 250 00:27:41.480 --> 00:27:42.839 bet our testimonies you could share than about your dog. I'm like, you 251 00:27:42.839 --> 00:27:51.480 don't like dog testimony, that's help with you. Our jet skis that were 252 00:27:51.599 --> 00:27:55.160 returned, and the Lord works in crazy ways, like right, but our 253 00:27:55.240 --> 00:28:02.400 jet skis were restored to us that today we needed them, so we can 254 00:28:02.480 --> 00:28:10.279 take them to summer camp for water activities the very day. Not only because 255 00:28:10.319 --> 00:28:12.799 we made a demand that they would be given back, but they would be 256 00:28:12.839 --> 00:28:19.720 given back by a particular day. They were given back by that day. 257 00:28:22.200 --> 00:28:33.119 A stands point. He doesn't want so you're the prototype. You're the prototype 258 00:28:33.119 --> 00:28:41.400 of heaven on earth, and the gospels meant to make you attractive German. 259 00:28:41.440 --> 00:28:45.680 You're the prototype of heaven on earth. And Jesus said, even this is 260 00:28:45.720 --> 00:28:52.519 the foremost, the foremost declaration of Jesus regarding prayer was pray this way, 261 00:28:52.119 --> 00:28:56.119 our Father, who art in heaven, how would be thy name, Thy 262 00:28:56.240 --> 00:29:03.039 kingdom Come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. 263 00:29:04.720 --> 00:29:18.160 On earth, where we're the prototype of heaven, we're the ones of whom 264 00:29:18.240 --> 00:29:25.920 we literally our lives. Our lives are demonstrations of the goodness of God, 265 00:29:26.799 --> 00:29:30.599 not only the demonstration of freedom. Oh you know, I've gotten free and 266 00:29:33.160 --> 00:29:37.519 I had this bugging me. I have that bugging me. Used to be 267 00:29:37.559 --> 00:29:40.759 addicted to pornography, or it used to be addicted to fear, or used 268 00:29:40.799 --> 00:29:52.640 to be addicted to chocolate, bad food, hatred, selfish, ambition. 269 00:29:55.039 --> 00:29:59.279 Hey, it's good to be free. It's good to be free. The 270 00:29:59.359 --> 00:30:07.920 life of freedom is like no other. But there's a judgment that was woven 271 00:30:07.039 --> 00:30:18.839 into that freedom that I'm guessing a lot of us haven't finished with. Because 272 00:30:18.920 --> 00:30:33.920 the finale, the progression of a judgment is restoration, and restoration comes Not 273 00:30:33.039 --> 00:30:41.559 only is you partner with Holy Spirit through the dismissal of the enemy, but 274 00:30:41.720 --> 00:30:49.680 you partner with the Holy Spirit in authority over the thief and command the thief 275 00:30:49.920 --> 00:31:06.559 gives back what was taken sevenfold sevenfold, sevenfold sevenfold. And I think this 276 00:31:06.640 --> 00:31:08.559 is a word for a bunch of us this morning. You're going to put 277 00:31:08.559 --> 00:31:11.519 this to the test and then never the word. Andrew brought a word. 278 00:31:11.559 --> 00:31:18.640 Where's Andrew? Andrew brought a word Friday night? If you're wondering, we 279 00:31:18.720 --> 00:31:26.240 had a team up from Buffalo Friday night for a worship night and a download 280 00:31:26.240 --> 00:31:30.799 of Heaven. And Andrew brought a word though Friday night, prophetic word. 281 00:31:30.799 --> 00:31:34.960 I believe it was good. I recorded it. By the way. Part 282 00:31:36.000 --> 00:31:48.640 of it was that he saw us embracing ninety days of communion. And I 283 00:31:48.720 --> 00:31:52.079 know we've turned Joe and Sandy loose, and we've got their communion book and 284 00:31:52.119 --> 00:31:56.079 we've been talking about a communion revival in the sad and I know Joe and 285 00:31:56.160 --> 00:32:02.039 Sandy talked to all of us about in communion for thirty days. And you're 286 00:32:02.079 --> 00:32:07.440 thinking, yeah, I kind of did that. But I believe God's in 287 00:32:07.599 --> 00:32:15.759 this thing. And Andrews saw us as a body just taking the cup and 288 00:32:15.799 --> 00:32:21.319 the bread daily over the next ninety days, and he saw something's going to 289 00:32:21.400 --> 00:32:29.680 happen, something's going to shift, and it begins to shift on a micro 290 00:32:29.960 --> 00:32:39.920 level before it shifts on a macro level, and we're the sum total corporately 291 00:32:44.240 --> 00:32:47.799 of the work of the micro as it grows and it leavens, be it 292 00:32:47.920 --> 00:32:52.440 the whole body, or the whole community, or the whole region. So 293 00:32:52.480 --> 00:32:55.920 I just want to encourage you, and I want to tie that word with 294 00:32:57.079 --> 00:33:05.319 this word today, that you not only embrace expelling darkness, but you embrace 295 00:33:05.880 --> 00:33:12.599 the shout of give it back. And then we go into a ninety day 296 00:33:12.720 --> 00:33:19.240 season. We go into a ninety day season where we begin to do damage 297 00:33:19.279 --> 00:33:22.279 to the enemy and we begin we begin to plunder the enemy like he's never 298 00:33:22.319 --> 00:33:27.279 been plundered. And it's not just give it back. It's not just stuff, 299 00:33:27.759 --> 00:33:30.079 but it's give and it's not just the earth. Give it back the 300 00:33:30.160 --> 00:33:36.160 earth, because it belongs to us who are in the second atom. The 301 00:33:36.200 --> 00:33:39.079 earth was given to the first atom. It was lost and restored to the 302 00:33:39.119 --> 00:33:46.680 second atom. But it's also give them back, give them back those in 303 00:33:46.759 --> 00:33:53.119 our family, those in our community, those in our relationships, those lost 304 00:33:53.480 --> 00:34:00.279 and plundered and spoiled by the enemy. So Father, we just embrace all 305 00:34:00.279 --> 00:34:06.440 of this this morning. We say yes to the cup and to the bread. 306 00:34:06.599 --> 00:34:09.679 We say yes to the assignment, we say yes to the increase of 307 00:34:09.760 --> 00:34:16.840 heaven. We say yes to the overflow of your grace through us, and 308 00:34:16.960 --> 00:34:24.559 we rejoice in advance over all that's going to be restored. We thank you 309 00:34:24.639 --> 00:34:30.639 for it in Jesus's name. And everybody said, God, bless you this 310 00:34:30.679 --> 00:34:36.800 morning. Church. We love you. We'll see you again soon. Let 311 00:34:36.840 --> 00:34:38.800 Him reign through you. Let's worship as we go.
