WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.640 --> 00:00:07.320 We got Zach Sanders ministering the word this morning. Zach and Sarah have been 2 00:00:07.360 --> 00:00:16.480 here forever and they always bless me with their buy in to the Daniel Fast 3 00:00:16.800 --> 00:00:20.719 and their pursuit of God, their love for the Lord he carries revival. 4 00:00:21.480 --> 00:00:24.280 Many of you know he led our youth ministry for over five years, and 5 00:00:24.320 --> 00:00:28.600 then they worked in youth ministry before that, and they've just been a son 6 00:00:29.039 --> 00:00:32.920 a daughter of this house for many years. And so again give him a 7 00:00:32.920 --> 00:00:45.799 hand as he comes to share the word. Y'all need to sit down. 8 00:00:45.880 --> 00:00:50.759 What are you doing? Thuse are crazy? Wow? That was quite the 9 00:00:50.799 --> 00:00:53.280 welcome. Thank you. I really appreciate that. Man, those are some 10 00:00:53.320 --> 00:00:57.000 good intros. Are you doing the interest for people at the summit? Man? 11 00:00:57.039 --> 00:00:59.079 I feel like, I don't know, maybe hook him up. He 12 00:00:59.119 --> 00:01:02.000 might need to be the intro guy, because that's pretty that's pretty crazy. 13 00:01:02.560 --> 00:01:07.400 I'm Zack Sanders. As you now know how y'all doing good. You guys 14 00:01:07.400 --> 00:01:15.439 are wild worshipers, do you know that? Wild? Absolutely wild. I've 15 00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:19.159 got a minstrel today, Jason, So give it up for Jason right now. 16 00:01:22.120 --> 00:01:25.719 So he Actually it's funny on the car ride here and I've been thinking 17 00:01:25.719 --> 00:01:30.000 about this. I heard a message by Benny hin He's speaking at Jesus Image. 18 00:01:30.120 --> 00:01:34.640 I think they're based in Florida, and he was speaking there and he 19 00:01:34.719 --> 00:01:38.760 was talking about how whenever he ministers, he personally not the Lord. The 20 00:01:38.760 --> 00:01:44.959 Lord doesn't need it, but he personally needs like a minstrel background music. 21 00:01:45.480 --> 00:01:49.719 And I was like, Oh, that's interesting because he's in the like Catherine 22 00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:53.719 Coleman kind of anointing. How many know what I'm talking about. Okay, 23 00:01:53.760 --> 00:01:56.560 if you don't, don't worry about it, it's fine. But just to 24 00:01:56.599 --> 00:01:59.280 know I was listening to that, and it just struck me. I was 25 00:01:59.319 --> 00:02:04.480 like, whoa what Benny Hinn needs a minstrel. I'm like, this guy 26 00:02:04.560 --> 00:02:07.560 is a baller, you know what I mean, Like he needs a minstrel. 27 00:02:07.879 --> 00:02:09.319 And then it just made me think. I'm like, I'm thinking back 28 00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:13.199 to, you know, every high moment in the Lord breakthrough, you know, 29 00:02:13.240 --> 00:02:15.719 you pray for people or prophetic words, and like, I'm thinking back 30 00:02:15.719 --> 00:02:21.400 to all these moments in my life and what's typically happening in the background music. 31 00:02:21.560 --> 00:02:23.360 Yeah, worship to the Lord. It's literally just ministering to the Lord. 32 00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:28.240 And so anyway, this morning, Jason comes up to me totally the 33 00:02:28.240 --> 00:02:30.280 Lord. And he comes up to me, he's like, hey, you 34 00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:34.039 know, do you need a minstrel for when you preach this morning? And 35 00:02:34.120 --> 00:02:39.599 I'm like, actually, yes I do. And so he hears from the 36 00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:43.919 Lord man, so just give it up for Jason. That's awesome. He 37 00:02:43.960 --> 00:02:46.919 will. He will now have been playing for I don't know, maybe four 38 00:02:47.039 --> 00:02:53.599 or five hours today because of practice for service a second service. So that's 39 00:02:53.639 --> 00:02:57.240 incredible. I don't actually know how much of the sermon we're gonna get to 40 00:02:57.240 --> 00:03:02.560 today. I'm not gonna be crazy this morning, but I want to spend 41 00:03:02.599 --> 00:03:08.560 some time honoring first. I think it's really important in our culture. Sometimes 42 00:03:08.599 --> 00:03:14.840 we neglect honor. We go about our day. Maybe we actually in our 43 00:03:14.879 --> 00:03:19.479 mind or in our thoughts we like actually look highly upon somebody, but we 44 00:03:19.560 --> 00:03:23.120 don't tell them. So like maybe after maybe like a coworker, you saw 45 00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:27.039 them do something amazing at work and like, man, that was incredible, 46 00:03:27.039 --> 00:03:29.400 that was a nice year. They have such a skill set in this I'm 47 00:03:29.439 --> 00:03:31.199 so blessed by them. And then you just think about that in your car, 48 00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:34.199 like and you know, maybe think the Lord God, thank you so 49 00:03:34.280 --> 00:03:37.599 much for that person. But then you never actually tell them. And so 50 00:03:38.199 --> 00:03:42.560 what happens is when you release a word to somebody, sometimes it empowers them 51 00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:50.360 for their next season. If you look at Moses, I think Moses would 52 00:03:50.400 --> 00:03:54.400 have entered the Promised Land. This is my personal belief that Moses would have 53 00:03:54.599 --> 00:04:04.520 entered the Promised Land if his people honored him better. So, in a 54 00:04:04.599 --> 00:04:10.240 church context, are we honoring pastor Dwayne and Joel? Are they leading us 55 00:04:10.280 --> 00:04:12.639 where we need to go? Or are we gonna be stuck in a wilderness 56 00:04:12.680 --> 00:04:21.040 because we failed to really grafts what honor looks like. And so for us, 57 00:04:21.079 --> 00:04:25.079 I want to spend some time just honoring some people who are leaders in 58 00:04:25.120 --> 00:04:28.879 my life. I either serve under them here in the church capacity or I'm 59 00:04:28.959 --> 00:04:31.240 under them in a ministry like they're a leader of mine in some way. 60 00:04:31.639 --> 00:04:39.639 And so I have some groupings. Oh man, I'm gonna lose it again. 61 00:04:39.839 --> 00:04:43.480 I did this. What is happening? Okay? So is Albert and 62 00:04:43.519 --> 00:04:46.720 Anie? Are you in the room? Okay? Awesome? Is any he 63 00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:48.639 here too? Or just you this morning? Oh? Right? There? 64 00:04:48.680 --> 00:04:51.639 Can I get have you guys both stand up actually really quick? Actually? 65 00:04:51.680 --> 00:04:54.480 Albert, can I have you come over here and stand next to your wife. 66 00:04:54.519 --> 00:04:56.839 Yeah, that'd be awesome. He's he's working right now, he's taking 67 00:04:56.839 --> 00:05:01.319 pictures, So I'm interrupting his job description. So sorry. I just want 68 00:05:01.360 --> 00:05:08.720 to honor you guys. These two are their leaders over our tribe youth ministry, 69 00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:12.040 and so I get the honor and the privilege about once a month to 70 00:05:12.079 --> 00:05:15.240 go in and help with worship and and really serve them and serve the kids. 71 00:05:15.519 --> 00:05:18.160 And so I just want to honor you guys. You have such a 72 00:05:18.199 --> 00:05:25.519 gifting for bringing people in, for gathering people, and it's such a different 73 00:05:25.519 --> 00:05:28.160 gifting, and I recognize it because it's such a different gifting in the what 74 00:05:28.199 --> 00:05:31.639 I had. I like to protect what I had, and but you're so 75 00:05:31.800 --> 00:05:36.199 willing to just go and grab anyone and bring them in, and like it's 76 00:05:36.399 --> 00:05:40.759 it's like the heart of the Lord to just start, like it's an evangelistic 77 00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:43.319 call that you guys just literally want to bring them in. And so I 78 00:05:43.360 --> 00:05:46.639 just want to honor you guys for the work that you're doing and just say 79 00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:51.160 that, like, not everything I know how youth ministry goes. Anyone in 80 00:05:51.199 --> 00:05:57.160 here been in youth ministry, not everyone sees the hard stuff, okay, 81 00:05:57.279 --> 00:06:00.720 And and I just know everyone in here. They don't the hard things. 82 00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:02.839 And I know that you guys have been digging and you've been doing the hard 83 00:06:02.879 --> 00:06:08.360 stuff, and you've been managing and like juggling a bunch of things at once, 84 00:06:08.399 --> 00:06:10.959 and I just want to honor you that you guys are stewarding the right 85 00:06:11.000 --> 00:06:13.600 thing, you're doing the right thing, and that you're on the right course. 86 00:06:13.639 --> 00:06:15.720 And so I just bless their journey. So reach your hands out to 87 00:06:15.759 --> 00:06:17.800 them. Let's honor them. God, we just thank you for these two, 88 00:06:18.160 --> 00:06:21.720 these powerhouses in the spirit. I thank you for the journey of the 89 00:06:21.759 --> 00:06:26.800 Lord that they are on. I thank you God that signs and wonders would 90 00:06:26.839 --> 00:06:30.879 follow them wherever they go. I thank you in the even in the marketplace, 91 00:06:30.199 --> 00:06:32.800 I say that God, there would be special that God, you'd be 92 00:06:32.839 --> 00:06:38.319 even bringing more and more people around him in the marketplace, that he would 93 00:06:38.360 --> 00:06:42.800 influence generations because of what he's doing in the marketplace. And so God, 94 00:06:42.839 --> 00:06:46.120 we just bless them. We say there'd be an increase in the following around 95 00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:49.759 him, that they could actually steward the chicks that are coming around them, 96 00:06:49.800 --> 00:06:54.560 that they are gathering around them because they see a warmth, they see an 97 00:06:54.560 --> 00:06:58.360 invitation. They see an evangelistic call. And so God, I just say, 98 00:06:58.399 --> 00:07:00.839 send the workers, send those who will serve them, Send, send 99 00:07:00.839 --> 00:07:04.240 those who will learn from them. And so God we bless them and and 100 00:07:04.399 --> 00:07:08.680 lift them high in Jesus' name. And everyone said, I amen, Amen, 101 00:07:08.759 --> 00:07:15.519 give it up for them. Austin and Andrea, can I have you 102 00:07:15.560 --> 00:07:20.800 guys stand awesome? They're they're connect leaders that we attend, and so they're 103 00:07:20.839 --> 00:07:28.160 just leaders over Sarah and I and so I just get woo, let's go, 104 00:07:28.319 --> 00:07:34.439 baby. There's there's something special special and and I they've been following the 105 00:07:34.480 --> 00:07:38.720 call of the Lord on their life, like in a real special way and 106 00:07:38.800 --> 00:07:42.680 stepping out into something I don't think they've ever stepped out into quite before. 107 00:07:43.199 --> 00:07:47.279 And uh, and there's a special ministry call on their life. And so 108 00:07:47.439 --> 00:07:53.199 I just want to honor that and just and just thank you for having your 109 00:07:53.199 --> 00:07:57.920 group, And don't despise the day of small beginnings because more is coming. 110 00:07:58.240 --> 00:08:01.839 So as you steward what you have, you always get more. Always in 111 00:08:01.879 --> 00:08:03.120 the Kingdom, when you steward what you have, you always get more. 112 00:08:03.319 --> 00:08:07.360 And you guys are stewarding well. And it's a balancing act with all the 113 00:08:07.360 --> 00:08:11.879 stuff you guys got going on and kiddos and work and ministry and playing on 114 00:08:11.959 --> 00:08:16.319 team and serving, and so I just want to honor you and even share 115 00:08:16.319 --> 00:08:20.920 something specifically over you. Austin. There was a time he was praying. 116 00:08:20.199 --> 00:08:24.879 We're at his connect group and the typical service flow is you should come by 117 00:08:24.879 --> 00:08:28.360 the way, shameless plug. It's awesome, but a game night group, 118 00:08:28.360 --> 00:08:31.319 and what they do is they have these games. They start out with games, 119 00:08:31.399 --> 00:08:33.320 kind of building the uniting camaroditye the fun, and then we go into 120 00:08:33.360 --> 00:08:37.799 a time of like a word that they'll share and then prayer. Right, 121 00:08:37.840 --> 00:08:43.000 So it's awesome. And so one time he was preaching and sharing a word 122 00:08:43.120 --> 00:08:48.639 and Austin then did a prayer and it was almost like he sents something in 123 00:08:48.679 --> 00:08:52.799 the spirit to like protect the flock, like he just knew something was coming 124 00:08:52.799 --> 00:08:56.960 against his flock, his people, and he was doing like deliverance prayer over 125 00:08:56.000 --> 00:09:00.000 them, like almost over the enemy. No, you can't touch your sheet. 126 00:09:01.000 --> 00:09:05.919 And in that moment, I'm literally I'm sitting there and I'm feeling as 127 00:09:05.960 --> 00:09:11.200 he's praying this, I'm feeling literally the presence of God on what he's saying. 128 00:09:11.519 --> 00:09:13.120 And you have you know how when you're like awakened to something in the 129 00:09:13.159 --> 00:09:18.080 spirit, you're like, dude, he's got deliverance all over him, like 130 00:09:18.320 --> 00:09:20.759 the ministry of deliverance. He's got it all over him. And so I 131 00:09:20.879 --> 00:09:24.879 just want to share that there's power in your prayers, that when you say 132 00:09:24.879 --> 00:09:28.600 something, it actually happens, and that like there's so much power in your 133 00:09:28.600 --> 00:09:33.799 words. And so Pastor Dwayne, watch out because you've got another deliverance minister 134 00:09:33.879 --> 00:09:37.080 in the house and he's powerful. And so let's just stretch our hands towards 135 00:09:37.159 --> 00:09:41.759 him. This is just a this is amazing God. I thank you for 136 00:09:41.799 --> 00:09:46.240 the I thank you for their obedience. I thank you for their yes. 137 00:09:48.360 --> 00:09:50.240 And so God, we just say that as they've been stewarding what they've been 138 00:09:50.279 --> 00:09:54.440 stewarding, that they get more that God that's just poured into their lap over 139 00:09:54.559 --> 00:10:00.799 and over, a multiplication and exponential increase of the blessing of the Lord, 140 00:10:01.120 --> 00:10:05.000 not just financially God, not just spiritually, but their whole family would experience 141 00:10:05.039 --> 00:10:09.840 a tangible shift in the grace over their lives. That God, you'd be 142 00:10:09.879 --> 00:10:13.480 transforming them to carry the weight of the next season. That God, actually 143 00:10:13.519 --> 00:10:18.360 this is the season where they're learning they're weightlifting in this spirit to carry the 144 00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:22.440 heavy things in the next season. And so God, we lift them high. 145 00:10:22.519 --> 00:10:26.639 We honor them as ministers of your word, ministers of reconciliation, ministers 146 00:10:26.679 --> 00:10:31.279 of righteousness. We lift them high, and we honor them in Jesus' name. 147 00:10:31.559 --> 00:10:33.399 We thank you for their assignment and their call, and we bless them 148 00:10:33.399 --> 00:10:37.360 in the name of Jesus. Everyone said, I Amen, I Amen, 149 00:10:37.480 --> 00:10:43.679 amazing, amazing? Is this okay? Are we doing all right? I 150 00:10:43.679 --> 00:10:46.360 think so. I just sometimes as a church, we just got to get 151 00:10:46.360 --> 00:10:52.240 together and just do an honor fest because when the we'll do a short little 152 00:10:52.279 --> 00:10:56.159 teaching. We've taught about this before Pastor and Duayne and I think we did 153 00:10:56.200 --> 00:10:58.639 a co teach one time back in the day about this. But there's something 154 00:10:58.639 --> 00:11:09.360 about honor. Honor and glory always go together. I'm sure we've all experienced 155 00:11:09.360 --> 00:11:15.000 a place where we've been in a state of division, where there's like strife 156 00:11:15.039 --> 00:11:16.639 and fighting. You kind of walk into a place and you kind of sense 157 00:11:16.720 --> 00:11:20.679 stuff and you're like, WHOA, what's going on here? Man? What 158 00:11:20.720 --> 00:11:26.000 you're sensing is a lack of honor, and in response, God's glory cannot 159 00:11:26.039 --> 00:11:35.559 dwell there where you sacrifice, there's honor. So think about that. Anytime 160 00:11:35.559 --> 00:11:39.480 in the Old Testament they sacrifice the Lord, they set apart a time to 161 00:11:39.600 --> 00:11:43.840 honor the Lord for what he's done and what he's doing. So sometimes honor 162 00:11:43.960 --> 00:11:50.039 is a sacrifice. You walk into a place and you don't feel the honor, 163 00:11:50.519 --> 00:11:56.480 you can either succumb to the atmosphere or you can change the environment by 164 00:11:56.519 --> 00:12:00.720 starting to honor. What does your workplace look like? You're like, Yo, 165 00:12:00.960 --> 00:12:05.200 my workplace are heathens, man, those guys are crazy pagan worshipers. 166 00:12:05.279 --> 00:12:11.399 Dude, Maybe that's what it looks like for you. How do you shift 167 00:12:11.440 --> 00:12:18.440 the environment? It's really simple, it's really simple. Honor. You honor 168 00:12:18.519 --> 00:12:24.600 people well they start to respond to the call in their life. You lift 169 00:12:24.600 --> 00:12:26.399 them up. What's a prophetic word? Whenever we see a prophetic word from 170 00:12:26.440 --> 00:12:31.039 the stage, what is that? Actually, it's God honoring that person in 171 00:12:31.080 --> 00:12:37.279 the presence of everyone. Why so they can be recognized in a place of 172 00:12:37.320 --> 00:12:41.799 honor. So now they can carry the assignment that they have. So when 173 00:12:41.840 --> 00:12:43.879 you speak over someone, or you receive a prophetic word, or you're an 174 00:12:43.960 --> 00:12:48.759 environment or your workplace or your family, and you're choosing to speak life. 175 00:12:48.799 --> 00:12:52.360 What you're saying to the Lord is I honor this person. What you're saying 176 00:12:52.360 --> 00:12:54.840 to the people around you is this person is being lifted to their high place 177 00:12:54.879 --> 00:12:58.679 and their high calling. And you're thinking, well, what about me. 178 00:12:58.840 --> 00:13:01.240 I haven't been lifted to mind high place. I haven't been lifted to my 179 00:13:01.360 --> 00:13:05.399 high calling. Well, as you bless others, you will be blessed. 180 00:13:05.399 --> 00:13:09.600 As you refresh others, you will be refreshed. So maybe this is an 181 00:13:09.639 --> 00:13:13.519 answer for you. This is not the sermon this morning, but maybe this 182 00:13:13.600 --> 00:13:20.120 is the sermon this morning. Okay, all right, honor fest continue. 183 00:13:20.600 --> 00:13:24.799 Dina and Joe Hoffenrichter. Are they here? I know they were here for 184 00:13:24.919 --> 00:13:28.639 service. Are they in the back? Oh? They left, they had 185 00:13:28.679 --> 00:13:33.080 to go home. So I honored them for service. I'm under Dina for 186 00:13:33.240 --> 00:13:35.960 the prophetic Activation class, and then by an extension, Joe as well, 187 00:13:37.000 --> 00:13:41.919 because they're married and they're amazing. They're amazing. She's really taken charge of 188 00:13:41.960 --> 00:13:46.399 the destiny team, and she's just a prophetic minister. If you don't know 189 00:13:46.440 --> 00:13:56.519 her, I think a gift in calling on her life is actually it's she's 190 00:13:56.559 --> 00:14:01.639 almost like fertilizer for people's destiny. Does that make sense. So Dina, 191 00:14:03.200 --> 00:14:07.000 what she does is she almost will like grab onto you, like if you're 192 00:14:07.000 --> 00:14:11.960 in her circle, like, she'll grab onto you with her talents of love. 193 00:14:11.480 --> 00:14:15.240 They're not they're not bad, so think good. But she'll grab on 194 00:14:15.440 --> 00:14:20.960 and she won't let go until you know that you are who you God says 195 00:14:20.279 --> 00:14:24.960 you are. And so there was a time, I'll tell a story. 196 00:14:24.039 --> 00:14:30.360 She I was having a I was in the midst of a rather difficult season, 197 00:14:30.399 --> 00:14:35.159 struggling with just the accusation of the enemy over my life. Where I 198 00:14:35.279 --> 00:14:37.399 was at, I had a call of the Lord for something. But the 199 00:14:37.519 --> 00:14:43.399 season, oh I was in looked nothing like that. Can anyone ever been 200 00:14:43.440 --> 00:14:46.960 there? Yeah, you're like, God, I feel a thousand miles away 201 00:14:46.000 --> 00:14:52.240 from my promise right now. And and and she she reached out, and 202 00:14:52.279 --> 00:14:56.120 she she said, Hey, you want to join me for this prophetic activation 203 00:14:56.200 --> 00:14:58.919 thing. I really just sense the Lord wants to use you in this way 204 00:15:00.480 --> 00:15:05.039 and in this specific way. And I was like, in the moment, 205 00:15:05.120 --> 00:15:09.360 I'm like, oh, I'm seeing God, you see me. I can 206 00:15:09.440 --> 00:15:11.679 be used again, you know, kind of think like us in a good 207 00:15:11.720 --> 00:15:16.279 way by the Lord. But it really kind of brought me out of a 208 00:15:16.320 --> 00:15:20.200 lot of weird stuff, like in my head, you know how you get 209 00:15:20.240 --> 00:15:22.600 lost in your head, stuck in your head. It got me out of 210 00:15:22.639 --> 00:15:26.679 a lot of that, and I'm just so thankful for her and then Joe 211 00:15:26.720 --> 00:15:30.200 as well. And what Joe will do. You may see him after service. 212 00:15:30.240 --> 00:15:33.360 Worship team knows this. He'll come up and he'll just kind of come 213 00:15:33.399 --> 00:15:35.399 over and say, man, that was awesome. You guys killed it, 214 00:15:35.480 --> 00:15:37.759 or he'll be like, dude, that was great, and he'll be walking 215 00:15:37.879 --> 00:15:41.200 on the stage. What he's doing is literally that honor thing. What he's 216 00:15:41.240 --> 00:15:45.759 doing is he's just honoring the gifting on people's lives and lifting to their high 217 00:15:45.840 --> 00:15:48.799 calling. Because sometimes when you minister, you don't have feedback, so you're 218 00:15:48.799 --> 00:15:52.639 really doing it out of faith and you're like, God, please use whatever 219 00:15:52.679 --> 00:15:54.919 I'm putting out there, because I maybe you can't sense it to the moment 220 00:15:56.159 --> 00:15:58.200 and know if no one comes up and tells you, then you're just like, 221 00:15:58.279 --> 00:16:00.799 dude, I have no idea, right, And what he's doing is 222 00:16:00.840 --> 00:16:03.039 he's spreading honor and actually prophetically calling them out and saying, no, you're 223 00:16:03.039 --> 00:16:06.559 doing the right thing. You're in the right area. So isn't that awesome? 224 00:16:06.639 --> 00:16:11.600 So we just love them, and so so God we just release blessing 225 00:16:11.600 --> 00:16:15.240 and increase over them that God, their marriage would be blessed, their ministry 226 00:16:15.240 --> 00:16:18.919 would be blessed, and I just thank you, they would have incredible moments 227 00:16:18.919 --> 00:16:25.039 in the Lord as a family. I just say, like tangible visits, 228 00:16:25.440 --> 00:16:29.600 visitations of the Holy Spirit in their house where they as a family encounter You 229 00:16:29.639 --> 00:16:30.600 God. And so we just thank you and release that in Jesus name. 230 00:16:30.600 --> 00:16:37.799 Everyone said Amen. Jasmine Mattson and then Ryan is an extension because they're married. 231 00:16:37.840 --> 00:16:41.639 I'm under her for worship ministry. She's incredible. She holds the team 232 00:16:41.679 --> 00:16:47.720 together. Sometimes when you're leading and you're out in front, you take hits. 233 00:16:48.480 --> 00:16:51.840 When you're a forerunner, you take hits. Right, It's like the 234 00:16:51.879 --> 00:16:56.600 first bird in the v or if you think mighty Ducks the flying v How 235 00:16:56.679 --> 00:16:59.960 many know what I'm talking about. Yeah, the guy in the front takes 236 00:17:00.080 --> 00:17:03.359 the hits, okay, And so so I just want to honor her. 237 00:17:03.440 --> 00:17:14.519 She's done an incredible job in taking our worship. Worship in some ways it 238 00:17:14.640 --> 00:17:17.720 used to be a little bit wild West. And I can't fully tell you 239 00:17:17.759 --> 00:17:19.279 what I mean by that, but those who are on worship team know what 240 00:17:19.279 --> 00:17:26.359 I mean, and uh, Pastor Joel knows what I mean. Uh. 241 00:17:26.799 --> 00:17:32.119 And she's really brought it around and brought such stability and increase and glory and 242 00:17:32.279 --> 00:17:37.039 unity. And so there's there's there's honor. There's like a double honor on 243 00:17:37.200 --> 00:17:40.680 leaders who lead well. And so let's just honor Jasmine and Ryan. I 244 00:17:40.720 --> 00:17:41.640 know they're not here, that she's a first service, so we just honor 245 00:17:41.720 --> 00:17:44.960 them. God. I thank you for the worship ministry at this house. 246 00:17:45.400 --> 00:17:48.160 God, I thank you for her leadership. I thank you for her family. 247 00:17:48.400 --> 00:17:51.559 I say, every personal need they have is met God, as she 248 00:17:51.720 --> 00:17:56.400 is serving the Lord God. We say every personal need that they have God 249 00:17:56.599 --> 00:18:00.759 is meant that there's not one thing outside the care of the Lord in their 250 00:18:00.839 --> 00:18:03.400 life. And that God, there would be such a blessing. I say 251 00:18:03.440 --> 00:18:07.839 that she would be made famous, that she would be made famous. God, 252 00:18:07.079 --> 00:18:10.400 she would be made famous because of her obedience to You. And so 253 00:18:10.440 --> 00:18:15.640 we released that over here in Jesus name. Everyone said, Amen, All 254 00:18:15.720 --> 00:18:18.839 right, last one, Pastor Vranjel, kind of you guys stand up. 255 00:18:18.039 --> 00:18:26.920 They're the last leaders I serve under in some ways. So I worked at 256 00:18:26.920 --> 00:18:30.319 the church for a while and got to serve and got to know them really 257 00:18:30.319 --> 00:18:33.839 well. And the more you get to know someone, the more you kind 258 00:18:33.839 --> 00:18:36.880 of understand, like how they work and where they function and how they come 259 00:18:36.880 --> 00:18:41.160 from this. And I've heard a lot of stories. If you want like 260 00:18:41.519 --> 00:18:48.480 church history stories, you go to Scott Broughton, because this guy knows everybody 261 00:18:48.519 --> 00:18:52.839 in the Northwest and he knows every story of everything that's ever happened ever, 262 00:18:52.400 --> 00:18:56.480 okay, and so if you need church stories, he's the guy. But 263 00:18:56.000 --> 00:19:02.799 through it, I learned that pastor Dwayne and Joel have an incredible capacity for 264 00:19:02.880 --> 00:19:08.160 grace and mercy. I mean incredible. I've experienced it personally, but I've 265 00:19:08.200 --> 00:19:12.839 seen it happen where there's people I would not give a second chance to. 266 00:19:14.720 --> 00:19:18.039 I mean honestly, I probably wouldn't give them a first chance. And they 267 00:19:18.079 --> 00:19:25.119 have the capacity and the grace to literally give people the opportunity to walk out 268 00:19:25.319 --> 00:19:29.240 in what they're called to. And that's what you need in a pastor, 269 00:19:29.240 --> 00:19:33.680 because it really would kind of be lame to come to pastors and they don't 270 00:19:33.720 --> 00:19:36.160 believe in you, and they don't care about you, and they don't want 271 00:19:36.160 --> 00:19:38.160 to get in your stuff, and they don't want to see increase in your 272 00:19:38.200 --> 00:19:42.799 life, like that would be lame, that's a lame pastor. But they're 273 00:19:42.839 --> 00:19:45.640 willing to do it, and they've dug trenches in this spirit. There's been 274 00:19:45.680 --> 00:19:51.839 hard stuff, betrayal, lots of betrayal, lots of hard stuff. But 275 00:19:51.880 --> 00:19:55.200 they've seen the goodness of the Lord and they've met them every time thirty plus 276 00:19:55.279 --> 00:20:03.920 years of doing ministry. And it's not like they can just quit. They're 277 00:20:03.960 --> 00:20:08.920 like man, our congregation, they're a bunch of stinkers, right. It's 278 00:20:10.000 --> 00:20:11.680 like your family, you're kind of stuck with who you got, you know, 279 00:20:11.920 --> 00:20:15.599 like like they're kind of stuck with us. And so I just want 280 00:20:15.640 --> 00:20:18.680 to honor you guys and just share that you've been a blessing to me. 281 00:20:19.000 --> 00:20:23.559 I learned how to pray in this house. There were times where I just 282 00:20:23.680 --> 00:20:30.000 learned even just you want to see a good example of a teacher is Pastor 283 00:20:30.079 --> 00:20:33.799 Joel, And a good example of a preacher is Pastor Dwayne, who like 284 00:20:33.920 --> 00:20:37.000 listens to the spirit. You saw him today up on the stage. I 285 00:20:37.079 --> 00:20:41.559 mean literally I'm like everything he's saying, I'm like, yes, that's it 286 00:20:41.960 --> 00:20:45.480 right, like keep going Like I was like almost like man, I hope. 287 00:20:45.480 --> 00:20:47.920 I don't have to preach because like this is good, you know, 288 00:20:48.160 --> 00:20:51.519 like and but I just want to honor you guys to transform my life. 289 00:20:51.640 --> 00:20:55.240 I know I've been a difficult son at times, but I just want to 290 00:20:55.240 --> 00:21:00.319 honor you guys and just share that you guys are transforming. You really are. 291 00:21:00.519 --> 00:21:04.640 You're transforming a region. And I just honor the days of small beginnings 292 00:21:04.799 --> 00:21:10.079 when things weren't all glittering and gold and you still believed in the word of 293 00:21:10.079 --> 00:21:12.960 the Lord over setting out and starting this church and doing the good things. 294 00:21:14.000 --> 00:21:18.799 And so let's start our hands out to them. I want to say, 295 00:21:18.839 --> 00:21:22.599 maybe they haven't achieved their assignment because we haven't honored them in the right way. 296 00:21:22.960 --> 00:21:26.559 Like Moses, I want them to get to their promised land, because 297 00:21:26.599 --> 00:21:30.240 guess what, we're along for that ride. If they get to their promised 298 00:21:30.319 --> 00:21:33.839 land, so do we. And so we need to lift them up and 299 00:21:33.920 --> 00:21:37.759 honor them in any capacity. And even after today, if you feel a 300 00:21:37.799 --> 00:21:41.359 tug on your heart for something like you need to I'm serious, if you 301 00:21:41.400 --> 00:21:45.359 need to give into them, or you need to start volunteering in an area, 302 00:21:45.640 --> 00:21:47.640 or you need to ask, hey, what can I do about this 303 00:21:47.680 --> 00:21:49.599 thing? Like I want you to go and do and respond to the Lord, 304 00:21:49.640 --> 00:21:53.440 because what the Lord is doing is you're responding to the call this morning 305 00:21:53.480 --> 00:21:57.039 on the honor that they're due. Okay, so let's bless them. God. 306 00:21:57.039 --> 00:22:00.839 I just thank you for these two. I just thank you for these 307 00:22:00.839 --> 00:22:04.920 too, these mighty warriors in this spirit gone. I thank you for these 308 00:22:04.960 --> 00:22:10.880 ones who hear from you well. I thank you for these two who tread 309 00:22:10.920 --> 00:22:15.720 in the fires of your altar being transformed into the image of the King. 310 00:22:15.799 --> 00:22:21.519 I just thank you God that they're transforming this region, they're transforming our hearts, 311 00:22:21.799 --> 00:22:23.599 that the power of your spirit is upon them. I say, God, 312 00:22:23.640 --> 00:22:27.599 every dream, every vision, every prophetic word would come to pass, 313 00:22:27.839 --> 00:22:32.799 and God, we say delay is gone. In Jesus's name, we just 314 00:22:32.880 --> 00:22:37.720 rebuke away delay over their life. I thank you God that you are increasing 315 00:22:37.119 --> 00:22:41.599 their capacity in this season. God, like a battery that they had before, 316 00:22:41.680 --> 00:22:45.559 they have a new battery with a higher voltage, a higher amperage, 317 00:22:45.640 --> 00:22:51.079 a higher capacity that they can go further than they could go even when they 318 00:22:51.119 --> 00:22:53.559 were younger and felt like maybe they had more energy. No, this is 319 00:22:53.640 --> 00:22:57.640 the season of energy, and we declare it over them that they will run 320 00:22:57.880 --> 00:23:02.480 and not be weary. They will run and not be weary. And so 321 00:23:02.599 --> 00:23:06.519 we bless them, increase upon them. Every word of the Lord would come 322 00:23:06.559 --> 00:23:08.640 to pass, that their lives would literally be a miracle, and that God 323 00:23:08.640 --> 00:23:14.200 they would transform the region in Jesus same everyone said, amen, Amen, 324 00:23:18.559 --> 00:23:22.200 what time are we going to? Two? Two thirty? Was that what 325 00:23:22.359 --> 00:23:29.640 I I'm just kidding. I'll uh, let me, let's just sit for 326 00:23:29.640 --> 00:23:32.000 a second. We just sit for a second. We're out of time, 327 00:23:32.039 --> 00:23:56.920 but uh, let's just sit for a second. This would be my final 328 00:23:56.920 --> 00:24:00.799 words, I think for the sermon. I'm not dying, don't worry. 329 00:24:03.920 --> 00:24:12.799 They said, Oh, not just kidding, but I just feel like if 330 00:24:12.839 --> 00:24:19.880 we look at the early Church, there's just something special about the way they 331 00:24:19.920 --> 00:24:26.839 operated. Holy Spirit came, they're baptized and fire and you just start seeing 332 00:24:26.880 --> 00:24:30.319 miracles coming and happening, and you think, oh, that's the stuff, 333 00:24:30.759 --> 00:24:34.799 that's what we need. But that wasn't the only thing they needed. You 334 00:24:34.880 --> 00:24:41.480 look and what they saw is they came together in unity. They had everything 335 00:24:42.680 --> 00:24:48.480 in common. What does that mean? They were all like, well, 336 00:24:48.559 --> 00:24:53.720 I mean kind of what they did was they chose to be together. They 337 00:24:53.880 --> 00:24:59.920 chose to unify under a common banner, a common tutelage, and that's the 338 00:25:00.160 --> 00:25:07.960 Jesus. And in our modern context, I worry that sometimes in the church 339 00:25:07.680 --> 00:25:15.920 we don't have everything in common. I don't even think about that in our 340 00:25:15.960 --> 00:25:19.920 Western cultures, specifically punch in the clock, punch out. I don't care 341 00:25:19.960 --> 00:25:22.799 what happens to my coworkers. See you later by Becky. It's Friday, 342 00:25:23.799 --> 00:25:30.480 right. But there's something special when we come together in unity. I think 343 00:25:30.880 --> 00:25:36.160 I think maybe in this season, as we're entering the summit, what this 344 00:25:36.240 --> 00:25:42.880 summit season is. It's like almost like a recalibration. I think Chris Ballatin 345 00:25:42.960 --> 00:25:47.480 says, we have a oh what does he say? It's like a god 346 00:25:47.519 --> 00:25:51.279 positioning system. We almost need the GPS of the Lord to realign where we're 347 00:25:51.279 --> 00:25:53.599 going and where we're at. And I feel like the summit is kind of 348 00:25:53.599 --> 00:25:56.279 what that is. It's a time for us to have everything in common. 349 00:25:56.440 --> 00:26:00.519 What do we do? We're literally sacrifice. It's like a camp meeting of 350 00:26:00.559 --> 00:26:04.799 old. We're sacrificing everything we would have done with that weekend, and we're 351 00:26:04.839 --> 00:26:10.240 coming together as a unified body to praise the Lord and to see what he's 352 00:26:10.279 --> 00:26:15.720 doing with us. And so I just really want to invite you if you 353 00:26:15.759 --> 00:26:21.279 need breakthrough in your life, if you need breakthrough, and I feel like 354 00:26:21.319 --> 00:26:23.200 there ain't one person in this room that doesn't need some sort of breakthrough. 355 00:26:25.440 --> 00:26:33.160 If you need breakthrough in your life, maybe it's time to stop healing outside 356 00:26:33.160 --> 00:26:37.039 the body and join yourself to the Body of Christ. Hold everything in common. 357 00:26:37.880 --> 00:26:42.400 Because when you saw that, you saw the miracles break out in acts. 358 00:26:44.519 --> 00:26:49.319 You saw people put in prison literally walk out. The people praying for 359 00:26:49.359 --> 00:26:53.079 Peter to get out of prison didn't even believe he was at the door when 360 00:26:53.079 --> 00:27:02.240 he escaped. Sometimes we do that to you. But this is a time 361 00:27:02.279 --> 00:27:04.480 for us to come together. I really think there's something special, and I'm 362 00:27:04.519 --> 00:27:07.359 preaching to myself. So whenever I'm up here just now, I preach to 363 00:27:07.400 --> 00:27:14.759 me first, and you can come along for the ride. Because those who 364 00:27:14.799 --> 00:27:18.559 teach are judged more strictly right, and so I need to be more unified 365 00:27:18.559 --> 00:27:22.759 to what the House is doing. I need to be all about what the 366 00:27:22.759 --> 00:27:26.759 Lord's doing in a region. Plant yourself in the House of the Lord, 367 00:27:26.799 --> 00:27:30.720 and what will happen. You'll flourish. That's right, And I think it's 368 00:27:30.720 --> 00:28:02.119 time for us as a body to unify together. Let's stand final note. 369 00:28:02.440 --> 00:28:06.640 I don't know who and here's in a wilderness season. Maybe you feel a 370 00:28:06.680 --> 00:28:11.039 little bit like forgotten, or you came from these really high moments and now 371 00:28:11.039 --> 00:28:15.480 you're in these low moments. Maybe you caused it, maybe they just happened 372 00:28:15.519 --> 00:28:22.039 to you. It doesn't matter. I just really believe that wilderness in the 373 00:28:22.119 --> 00:28:27.640 moments are times to prepare you for the next season. You look at David 374 00:28:27.680 --> 00:28:37.680 in his life anointed king, like as a kid anointed king by Samuel. 375 00:28:38.759 --> 00:28:47.720 Just a quick timeline, David anointed King comes a minstrel to Saul defeats David 376 00:28:47.720 --> 00:28:52.279 and or just defeats glythe In the story of David blythe showing light right literally 377 00:28:52.359 --> 00:28:56.400 becomes like this high up captain in the military, like he's balling. People 378 00:28:56.400 --> 00:29:02.200 are singing songs about him. Saul has basically killed thousands. David is ten 379 00:29:02.240 --> 00:29:07.599 thousands, right, how many know that high moments and then boom he gets 380 00:29:07.640 --> 00:29:11.400 knocked down. Now he's running for his life because the leader that he served 381 00:29:11.480 --> 00:29:15.359 under is like after him. He's like, what just happened to my life? 382 00:29:15.440 --> 00:29:19.000 I was in a high moment and I just want to share. I 383 00:29:19.079 --> 00:29:22.880 just feel like the Lord has so much grace for you. Whether you caused 384 00:29:22.880 --> 00:29:27.319 your problems or whatever led you into the wilderness, I believe there's such a 385 00:29:27.359 --> 00:29:30.880 grace for you that the Lord wants you there, It wants to meet you 386 00:29:30.920 --> 00:29:37.400 there. David was called out as a man after God's own heart, and 387 00:29:37.440 --> 00:29:42.680 God knew he would mess up in the future, but he called him as 388 00:29:42.720 --> 00:29:52.799 the guy who is after his heart before even the problems happened. So for 389 00:29:52.920 --> 00:29:56.759 you in your life, I don't know what's happened to you, but God 390 00:29:56.839 --> 00:30:02.440 is what they're wanting to call out. The basically the prophetic function over your 391 00:30:02.480 --> 00:30:04.559 life that you know what, I'm not done with you yet. I'm not 392 00:30:04.599 --> 00:30:11.720 done with you yet. This Wilderness season will serve you and teach you and 393 00:30:11.839 --> 00:30:19.480 train you how to reign. It's always Pastor Dwayne said this actually during worship. 394 00:30:19.880 --> 00:30:25.359 He came over and said this to me. The variables are different in 395 00:30:25.400 --> 00:30:32.599 every season, but essentially there's always breakthrough. He's always about restoration in every 396 00:30:32.640 --> 00:30:40.039 season. So just this morning, I really have to land this plane, 397 00:30:40.079 --> 00:30:45.000 So I'm sorry, but I just want us to enter in and just ask 398 00:30:45.079 --> 00:30:48.039 Lord, where am I at? What season is this? What am I 399 00:30:48.119 --> 00:30:55.599 doing? God, teach me to honor, teach me to honor. What 400 00:30:55.680 --> 00:30:57.079 if I don't know how to do anything in us in this season? Can 401 00:30:57.119 --> 00:31:04.400 I just honor David honored Saul. Can you imagine that he even cut off 402 00:31:04.599 --> 00:31:07.200 in the wilderness. He had a chance to kill Saul. All of his 403 00:31:07.240 --> 00:31:14.279 friends are like, dude, hit him right now, get him, And 404 00:31:14.319 --> 00:31:15.440 he cut off the corner of his robe, And after he did it, 405 00:31:15.480 --> 00:31:18.640 he felt like the conviction of the Lord is like, I shouldn't have even 406 00:31:18.720 --> 00:31:22.400 cut the corner off of his robe to let him know I was here. 407 00:31:22.319 --> 00:31:30.519 Like literally, honor in every season will bring you through. Man. There's 408 00:31:30.519 --> 00:31:32.920 so much more to say, but I think we'll just stay with that. 409 00:31:33.559 --> 00:31:37.119 I'll invite the Destiny team up. If you don't know where you're at, 410 00:31:37.240 --> 00:31:41.200 you're like, dude, my GPS is broken. I've been walking around this 411 00:31:41.279 --> 00:31:47.039 desert for like years or months or maybe it's even days, whatever it looks 412 00:31:47.119 --> 00:31:51.079 like. And your season's been kind of crazy. Sometimes you need somebody to 413 00:31:51.119 --> 00:31:55.440 prophesy over you for you to recognize, Oh yeah, I'm a son, 414 00:31:55.640 --> 00:31:59.240 I'm a daughter. God's still with me in this season, and this is 415 00:31:59.240 --> 00:32:04.559 where he's leading me to hill Abraham and Sarah. God, they kept messing 416 00:32:04.640 --> 00:32:08.960 up. Lion Lion to Pharaoh that, oh yeah, this is my sister 417 00:32:09.240 --> 00:32:14.839 Sarah, it's not my wife, because he was scared. He had just 418 00:32:14.880 --> 00:32:19.359 received a promise that like his family would be blessed and like generationally they'd be 419 00:32:19.440 --> 00:32:22.640 like the sand of the seashore. Like, obviously, you can't die before 420 00:32:22.680 --> 00:32:25.240 that happens, because you don't have an air. But he still lied, 421 00:32:25.240 --> 00:32:29.559 he messed up. What did God do? He met them with another prophetic 422 00:32:29.599 --> 00:32:32.680 word and more relationship through your failure. So I just want to announce you. 423 00:32:32.720 --> 00:32:36.599 There's so much grace for you. Every time Abraham and Sarah messed it 424 00:32:36.680 --> 00:32:42.240 up, met with more grace, another prophetic word, and a reminding of 425 00:32:42.440 --> 00:32:45.440 no, no, no, I'm still with you. So come up and 426 00:32:45.519 --> 00:32:47.559 just get a word if that's you. But I'm gonna pray over you first. 427 00:32:47.559 --> 00:32:51.559 God, we just announce the blessings of the Lord. God. Teach 428 00:32:51.640 --> 00:32:54.359 us how to honor, teach us how to love, teach us how to 429 00:32:54.440 --> 00:33:01.160 be obedient sons and daughters that honor the ones around us, that push others 430 00:33:01.200 --> 00:33:06.960 into high places so that their words can be fulfilled. God, we know 431 00:33:07.039 --> 00:33:10.759 as we restore others. You restore us. As we lift other others high. 432 00:33:10.759 --> 00:33:15.000 God, we are also lifted high, and so we bless us around 433 00:33:15.079 --> 00:33:17.319 us. God teach us how to be a community, how to have everything 434 00:33:17.359 --> 00:33:23.480 in common. Teaches God that were sons and daughters, children of the king, 435 00:33:23.880 --> 00:33:29.079 co heirs, that we reign with Christ. You don't have the scraps 436 00:33:29.119 --> 00:33:31.720 for us. God, you put us at the table of our enemies so 437 00:33:31.759 --> 00:33:37.240 that we can feast. So that we can feast in front of our enemies, 438 00:33:37.279 --> 00:33:40.200 the ones that accused us, the ones that said bad things about us, 439 00:33:40.240 --> 00:33:45.200 the enemy, the devourer. You put us in front of him while 440 00:33:45.240 --> 00:33:50.079 we devour in front of him. And so God, we just release that 441 00:33:50.079 --> 00:33:53.599 that this is a season of increase, that wilderness seasons are ending, that 442 00:33:53.759 --> 00:33:59.079 God, you're training us to reign. That God reminders that were sons and 443 00:33:59.160 --> 00:34:02.319 daughters would come into this house, that this would be the most unified body 444 00:34:02.559 --> 00:34:06.799 in the region. God, I just thank you that this would be unity, 445 00:34:07.119 --> 00:34:10.360 that the glory can rest in this house because of the unity that's here, 446 00:34:10.679 --> 00:34:15.079 the psalmone thirty three Unity God, the oil dripping down Aaron's beard, 447 00:34:15.320 --> 00:34:19.239 that he would be here. God, then it would be here, so 448 00:34:19.400 --> 00:34:22.880 releases, God, help us, teach us, deliver us. We are 449 00:34:23.039 --> 00:34:28.480 yours. God, we are clay in your hands. Form us and deliver 450 00:34:28.599 --> 00:34:30.639 us in this season. So we bless your name, Jesus. We thank 451 00:34:30.679 --> 00:34:35.000 you for this, and we say all of this in the name of your 452 00:34:35.079 --> 00:34:43.199 shoe, the name of the One, the King, Jesus. Amen. 453 00:34:44.440 --> 00:34:49.440 Amen. So before you run out of here, I just want you to 454 00:34:49.440 --> 00:34:52.719 spend some time with the Lord, just kind of asking him, God, 455 00:34:52.840 --> 00:34:55.599 where can I honor better? Or God, what season am I even in? 456 00:34:55.800 --> 00:34:59.199 Or God, will you remind me? Or come up if you need 457 00:34:59.239 --> 00:35:01.800 a word, come up. Because these people experience the tangible love of the 458 00:35:01.840 --> 00:35:06.239 God. They know what the Lord is saying and they'll deliver it to you. 459 00:35:06.519 --> 00:35:08.800 And sometimes you just need to remind her. You just need to remind 460 00:35:08.800 --> 00:35:12.400 her. So just spend a moment with the Lord this morning as we worship, 461 00:35:12.840 --> 00:35:14.960 and just be blessed.
