WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.480 --> 00:00:02.560 I'm going to be talking a little bit again out 2 00:00:02.560 --> 00:00:06.440 of the Lord's Prayer, out of the Prayer Guide Matthew 3 00:00:06.759 --> 00:00:09.439 six nine through eleven. If you don't have a prayer 4 00:00:09.640 --> 00:00:11.599 guide and you want one, put up a hand. They'll 5 00:00:11.599 --> 00:00:14.720 bring you one. I think they've got some. And if 6 00:00:14.759 --> 00:00:18.879 you don't have the Daniel Fast Book, I think we 7 00:00:18.960 --> 00:00:22.559 even have some of those available today. So we've got 8 00:00:22.559 --> 00:00:26.719 the prayer Guide. That's going to be the first thing 9 00:00:26.760 --> 00:00:31.960 to put up your hand for this is to enhance 10 00:00:32.079 --> 00:00:34.600 your prayer life. The prayer Guide is to give you 11 00:00:35.439 --> 00:00:43.200 an enhancement. We've learned that the Prayer of Jesus Matthew 12 00:00:44.799 --> 00:00:49.320 six nine through eleven, when he was teaching the disciples 13 00:00:49.320 --> 00:00:53.119 how to pray, he was giving them an outline for prayer. 14 00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:56.240 He was giving them an outline for prayer. And so 15 00:00:56.439 --> 00:01:00.280 there's several parts to the prayer. We start with the 16 00:01:00.280 --> 00:01:04.680 first part, which is our Father who art in heaven, 17 00:01:05.400 --> 00:01:09.120 hollyw would be your name. So that's the first part 18 00:01:10.079 --> 00:01:12.640 of verse nine. That's the first part of the Lord's Prayer, 19 00:01:13.079 --> 00:01:18.879 and that's how we enter in to prayer daily. So 20 00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:21.079 and what he was giving us was an outline for 21 00:01:21.840 --> 00:01:25.719 daily prayer. As well. If you don't have the Daniel 22 00:01:25.799 --> 00:01:29.439 Fast book and you want a book, do we have 23 00:01:29.519 --> 00:01:31.560 some of the books, Sarah, We have some of the books, 24 00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:33.959 so if you don't have the book, we can also 25 00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:36.959 get that to you. I know some of you already 26 00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:39.879 have the book and you were just missing the prayer guide. 27 00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:51.439 So love, would you come up to the platform. Do 28 00:01:51.519 --> 00:01:57.680 I get a microphone? No, microphone, can't trust you. Can't 29 00:01:57.719 --> 00:02:05.760 trust you with a microphone. You sure a beautiful today. 30 00:02:06.400 --> 00:02:10.280 I like that sweater too, Yeah, looks good. I like 31 00:02:10.319 --> 00:02:12.879 you on the sweater. It looks good. Looks good on you. 32 00:02:15.479 --> 00:02:22.639 The first part of the prayer bear with me. She 33 00:02:22.680 --> 00:02:25.599 doesn't know why I was doing this. She has no idea. 34 00:02:25.960 --> 00:02:27.439 I didn't know if she was going to be in service. 35 00:02:27.479 --> 00:02:29.879 So usually she's in the box. But the first part 36 00:02:29.919 --> 00:02:36.199 of the prayer is our Father in Heaven, how it 37 00:02:36.240 --> 00:02:39.960 would be your name? Remember that? So last week, if 38 00:02:39.960 --> 00:02:41.960 you weren't here, last week, we talked about the names 39 00:02:41.960 --> 00:02:45.719 of God and how that God has disclosed his character 40 00:02:45.919 --> 00:02:50.240 and his nature in his name, and that all throughout Scripture, 41 00:02:51.199 --> 00:02:54.639 especially in the Old Testament, he was revealing who he 42 00:02:54.759 --> 00:02:58.719 is and he was revealing what he does, and how 43 00:02:58.759 --> 00:03:04.000 he blesses us through his name. So we discovered Jehovah 44 00:03:04.120 --> 00:03:10.159 Nici or Jehovah nisice, God is our banner, and that 45 00:03:10.199 --> 00:03:13.199 when we lift him up as a banner, then he 46 00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:16.400 goes to war on our behalf and he defeats our enemies. 47 00:03:17.599 --> 00:03:22.560 So we looked at Jehovah sit Kunou, who has become 48 00:03:22.639 --> 00:03:28.000 our righteousness. We'd looked at Jehovah and Kadish who sanctifies 49 00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:30.479 us and makes us holy, who sets us apart from 50 00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:33.520 other from every other people on the planet. So we 51 00:03:33.560 --> 00:03:35.759 went through some of these names. We didn't go deeply 52 00:03:35.800 --> 00:03:39.719 into Jehovah Rophae or rafa, who is the God who 53 00:03:39.759 --> 00:03:43.520 heals us. That's but that's Exodus fifteen twenty six. So 54 00:03:44.319 --> 00:03:47.240 and we found out that in our Bible, when we're 55 00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:51.400 reading I am the Lord who heals, that is actually 56 00:03:51.439 --> 00:03:57.919 his name. It's actually I am Jehovah rophe. It's actually 57 00:03:58.039 --> 00:04:03.560 him pronouncing his name through the Hebrew in the Bible, 58 00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:07.400 but our English doesn't show it up. So then this 59 00:04:07.479 --> 00:04:11.400 is how the Lord says, start your prayer this way. Well, 60 00:04:11.400 --> 00:04:13.039 the Lord is a genius. This is what he had 61 00:04:13.080 --> 00:04:16.639 been doing with father. Remember when the Lord was on 62 00:04:16.680 --> 00:04:23.000 the earth. He was he had set aside his divinity. 63 00:04:23.639 --> 00:04:26.600 Remember he set aside his divinity for those thirty three 64 00:04:26.639 --> 00:04:29.480 and a half years, and that he was living in 65 00:04:29.560 --> 00:04:37.680 his humanity. So he like, they're impressed with his prayer life, 66 00:04:38.079 --> 00:04:41.279 and they're impressed with the fruit of his prayer life 67 00:04:41.759 --> 00:04:45.120 because his prayer life has produced fruit. So then they're 68 00:04:45.160 --> 00:04:48.439 asking Lord teaches how to pray. He says, start this way, right, 69 00:04:48.879 --> 00:04:54.120 Remember that because Psalm one hundred, verse four and many 70 00:04:54.160 --> 00:04:57.079 other passages we gave you three last week. Psalm one 71 00:04:57.160 --> 00:05:02.000 hundred verse four says that actually hallowing the name of 72 00:05:02.079 --> 00:05:05.720 God is the gate. It's the gate. It's how you 73 00:05:05.759 --> 00:05:08.279 get in. It's how you get It's how you get 74 00:05:08.319 --> 00:05:10.600 access to the heart of God. Do you want access 75 00:05:10.639 --> 00:05:14.720 to the heart of God? So I just wanted to 76 00:05:14.759 --> 00:05:18.199 show you that we we do the same thing in marriage. 77 00:05:22.480 --> 00:05:29.439 Complaint is not the gate. Petition is not even the gate. 78 00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:33.240 Would you take out the garbage for me? Would you 79 00:05:33.319 --> 00:05:35.800 clean the car? Would you put more salt in the 80 00:05:35.800 --> 00:05:48.040 dinner of Liz? Would you would you you know, would 81 00:05:48.040 --> 00:05:50.720 you clean up after me? All right? So you know, 82 00:05:50.959 --> 00:05:55.199 petition is not the gate. Petition is not the gate. 83 00:05:56.439 --> 00:05:58.639 But you know this is the gate. Okay, I wrote some. 84 00:05:58.800 --> 00:06:09.319 I wrote some down. I love you so much because 85 00:06:09.360 --> 00:06:14.000 you are faithful. You are like the most faithful person 86 00:06:14.079 --> 00:06:18.279 on the planet. And I never have to doubt your 87 00:06:18.319 --> 00:06:23.480 faithfulness toward me. And I love that about you. And 88 00:06:23.560 --> 00:06:27.279 I love that you care for me like what in 89 00:06:27.319 --> 00:06:30.759 the world, I'm just a big bozo and you care 90 00:06:30.879 --> 00:06:33.959 for me like you're always thinking about how to care 91 00:06:34.000 --> 00:06:36.639 for me. And I love that about you. I love 92 00:06:36.680 --> 00:06:41.959 that you're always so absolutely caring and mindful of me. 93 00:06:42.959 --> 00:06:48.920 And I love that you are patient with me because 94 00:06:48.959 --> 00:06:53.079 I give you many many reasons to try your patience. 95 00:06:56.920 --> 00:07:03.800 We're not giving her the microphone feel and I just 96 00:07:03.920 --> 00:07:06.399 love it that you are so now you see, you 97 00:07:06.399 --> 00:07:15.560 see what I'm so thanksgiving, adoration, worship, lifting up the 98 00:07:15.600 --> 00:07:21.600 positive virtues of her. Now, what's it do? It wants her? Make? 99 00:07:21.879 --> 00:07:25.319 It wants one one? It releases her to do that 100 00:07:25.399 --> 00:07:29.800 even more right because because what I what I come 101 00:07:29.839 --> 00:07:34.199 into agreement with concerning her, is also what's released to 102 00:07:34.240 --> 00:07:36.720 float toward me. But the other thing that we have 103 00:07:36.800 --> 00:07:40.040 to realize is that this is the gate into her heart, 104 00:07:42.040 --> 00:07:44.920 This is the gate into intimacy. It's the gate into 105 00:07:45.000 --> 00:07:49.639 her heart. It's the gate where she will share her 106 00:07:49.680 --> 00:07:52.759 heart with me. It's the gate where she'll share everything 107 00:07:52.800 --> 00:07:55.920 with me. Right, She'll share everything with me. Thank you Love. 108 00:07:56.879 --> 00:08:06.720 That's it. I wanted you to see that in just 109 00:08:06.839 --> 00:08:15.439 kind of that living life illustration because we know, we 110 00:08:15.519 --> 00:08:18.959 know that we can we can transfer that into our 111 00:08:19.040 --> 00:08:25.399 relationship with God, right, and we understand how powerful this is. 112 00:08:26.040 --> 00:08:29.160 And really to know her heart or to her to 113 00:08:29.240 --> 00:08:32.399 know my heart, because it's it works both ways. Is 114 00:08:32.480 --> 00:08:42.919 really tapping into revelation, the what begins to transpire and 115 00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:46.159 the goal of the goal of connecting with God. Because 116 00:08:46.159 --> 00:08:53.559 He's infinite and I'm finite. He's omnipotent and I'm not. 117 00:08:54.519 --> 00:09:00.120 He's omniscient and I'm not. So the goal of connecting 118 00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:04.480 with God is to receive from Him what I don't have. 119 00:09:07.399 --> 00:09:11.559 And so that's what happens when I begin to open 120 00:09:11.639 --> 00:09:15.080 his heart through worship. When I begin to open his 121 00:09:15.080 --> 00:09:19.559 heart through worship, through adoration, through thanksgiving, I begin to 122 00:09:19.600 --> 00:09:22.919 declare unto him what he is, not only what he 123 00:09:23.039 --> 00:09:25.159 is to me, but what he is in his nature, 124 00:09:25.480 --> 00:09:28.559 what he is in the scripture, what he is in truth. Right, 125 00:09:28.840 --> 00:09:32.080 And I begin to adore him for that then that 126 00:09:32.240 --> 00:09:37.039 opens his heart. When his heart becomes open, that he 127 00:09:37.159 --> 00:09:41.919 begins to share his heart with me. That's where revelation 128 00:09:42.080 --> 00:09:49.120 begins to flow. That's where revelation begins to Revelation begins 129 00:09:49.159 --> 00:09:54.279 to flow when I've approached him in true worship and 130 00:09:54.360 --> 00:10:00.039 iteration and I've spent time lifting him up there, and 131 00:10:00.039 --> 00:10:04.600 then his heart begins to flow to me. And that's revelation, 132 00:10:05.080 --> 00:10:11.320 that's illumination, that's understanding, that's revelation knowledge, and that's central 133 00:10:11.399 --> 00:10:14.600 to that's central to prayer because you know the next 134 00:10:14.600 --> 00:10:16.480 part of prayer, we're going to enter into the next 135 00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:19.840 part of prayer, point number two. Section number two of 136 00:10:19.960 --> 00:10:26.000 prayer is Thy Kingdom Come, Thy will be done. But 137 00:10:26.480 --> 00:10:30.600 I honestly, I don't even know how to pray effectively 138 00:10:31.399 --> 00:10:40.519 if I don't have revelation, because really, the goal of 139 00:10:40.559 --> 00:10:46.279 prayer is not a bunch of petition, because petition leaves 140 00:10:46.320 --> 00:10:53.759 me hopeless. Petition without revelation leaves me hopeless, or I would, 141 00:10:53.919 --> 00:10:56.799 let's say it this way, petition without revelation leaves me 142 00:10:57.039 --> 00:11:05.039 with only hope. So if my petitioning isn't out of revelation, 143 00:11:05.240 --> 00:11:08.720 then I'm petitioning him, not knowing his character, not knowing 144 00:11:08.759 --> 00:11:14.080 his will, not having revelation, not having understanding, not having 145 00:11:14.559 --> 00:11:18.399 downloads of rama. We call it rama. Rama is the 146 00:11:18.399 --> 00:11:24.080 Greek word for living word that is imparted to your heart. 147 00:11:25.000 --> 00:11:28.960 If I'm petitioning him and I don't have that, then 148 00:11:29.000 --> 00:11:31.519 I leave my place of prayer just exactly the way 149 00:11:31.559 --> 00:11:35.120 I came. And that's the way a lot of us 150 00:11:35.159 --> 00:11:40.600 communicate with one another. Two we'll we'll say, yeah, well, 151 00:11:40.879 --> 00:11:43.679 I mean, I hope God moves in my family, and yeah, 152 00:11:43.679 --> 00:11:46.960 I'm hoping. I'm hoping over the nation, and I'm hoping 153 00:11:47.000 --> 00:11:49.080 God does something. I don't know, we're in a mess. 154 00:11:49.120 --> 00:11:53.399 And well i'm you know, I'm hoping God does something 155 00:11:53.519 --> 00:11:56.639 in government. But you see all this stuff that's going on. 156 00:11:57.000 --> 00:12:01.960 I sure hope God moves. So so hope is not 157 00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:07.799 the pinnacle of prayer. Hope is not the pinnacle of prayer. 158 00:12:08.399 --> 00:12:11.440 Faith is the pinnacled prayer, and faith comes by revelation. 159 00:12:14.080 --> 00:12:20.799 So the goal, the goal in your worship, your adoration, 160 00:12:20.919 --> 00:12:24.279 your thanksgiving, your hallowing of God, your honoring of him. 161 00:12:24.759 --> 00:12:28.360 The goal is to get into a realm with Him, 162 00:12:28.639 --> 00:12:33.879 where revelation begins to flow. Where there's an affirmation of scripture, 163 00:12:33.960 --> 00:12:37.519 there's an affirmation of understanding. He's showing you things you 164 00:12:37.600 --> 00:12:44.080 didn't know he's and that can happen through petition as well. 165 00:12:45.000 --> 00:12:47.919 Like the next part of the prayer, verse ten, your 166 00:12:48.000 --> 00:12:51.200 Kingdom come here will be done, has two aspects to it. 167 00:12:52.000 --> 00:12:54.480 When you look at the Greek and when you look 168 00:12:54.519 --> 00:12:57.919 at the way the Lord's spoken, it has two aspects. 169 00:12:57.919 --> 00:13:03.639 It has a petition aspect and it has a proclamation aspect. 170 00:13:05.480 --> 00:13:07.840 Because one of the aspects of this in the Greek 171 00:13:08.039 --> 00:13:17.720 is come your kingdom, Come your Kingdom. So in that way, 172 00:13:17.919 --> 00:13:24.320 it's actually a declaration, it's a proclamation. So it's a partnership. 173 00:13:26.080 --> 00:13:29.320 But he doesn't, you know, the prayer your Kingdom Come, 174 00:13:30.039 --> 00:13:33.399 That isn't the prayer. Remember this is just the outline 175 00:13:33.440 --> 00:13:39.240 for prayer. So I want to take the instruction of 176 00:13:39.840 --> 00:13:43.320 petition and proclamation. I want to take that instruction and 177 00:13:43.399 --> 00:13:49.720 I want to I want to superimpose that instruction over 178 00:13:50.279 --> 00:13:55.080 every sphere or every mountain of culture, and I want 179 00:13:55.120 --> 00:14:01.480 to superimpose that over the trees of my own heart garden. Right. 180 00:14:02.759 --> 00:14:05.919 So what I'm thinking, you know, so as I'm having 181 00:14:05.960 --> 00:14:08.080 my daily prayer, because this daily prayer, as I'm having 182 00:14:08.080 --> 00:14:11.399 my daily prayer, I don't want to just say, Okay, Lord, 183 00:14:12.679 --> 00:14:16.120 I pray that your kingdom comes. Lord, bring your kingdom, petitionary, 184 00:14:16.559 --> 00:14:19.600 and Lord, I just declare your kingdom is coming, Your 185 00:14:19.679 --> 00:14:22.600 kingdom is coming. Thank you Father, this is a beautiful day. 186 00:14:22.639 --> 00:14:28.840 I appreciate you. Amen. God bless America. You know that's 187 00:14:28.919 --> 00:14:32.480 not what he's saying. What he's saying is that as 188 00:14:32.559 --> 00:14:37.399 you think about every aspect of culture, as you think 189 00:14:37.440 --> 00:14:43.039 about every aspect of your life, your role is to 190 00:14:43.080 --> 00:14:50.440 partner with Heaven, to partner with Jesus, and to superimpose 191 00:14:50.639 --> 00:14:55.679 the realities of the transformation of the grace of God 192 00:14:56.080 --> 00:15:00.320 and the grace of Heaven over these areas of your life. 193 00:15:01.879 --> 00:15:05.759 And that's how heaven comes. That's how heaven comes, That's 194 00:15:05.799 --> 00:15:11.039 how things are shifted. And it comes with revelation, right, 195 00:15:11.080 --> 00:15:15.639 it comes with revelations. So if we don't know, if 196 00:15:15.639 --> 00:15:18.919 we don't know, like most of us didn't even know 197 00:15:19.720 --> 00:15:24.559 that we could believe for heaven on earth, most of 198 00:15:24.639 --> 00:15:28.200 us have grown up not knowing that we could believe 199 00:15:28.200 --> 00:15:30.879 for heaven on earth. What we believed that we would 200 00:15:30.919 --> 00:15:32.759 go to heaven and Earth was going to be a 201 00:15:32.759 --> 00:15:37.399 trial and a tribulation. So what's happening is as we 202 00:15:37.480 --> 00:15:40.360 set under teaching and as we learn, as we read 203 00:15:40.399 --> 00:15:44.759 the word, as we receive instruction, and we're in an 204 00:15:44.799 --> 00:15:48.840 atmosphere where there's liberty for Jesus to speak to us. 205 00:15:49.519 --> 00:15:53.240 There has to be an unfettered atmosphere where Jesus can 206 00:15:53.279 --> 00:15:57.759 speak to us. Then what happens is we start getting revelation, 207 00:15:57.919 --> 00:16:02.799 and that revelation is really the centrality to powerful prayers. 208 00:16:05.320 --> 00:16:11.080 When Elijah, when Elijah dried up the skies for three 209 00:16:11.080 --> 00:16:14.000 and a half years, it's because of revelation. It isn't 210 00:16:14.039 --> 00:16:20.879 because Elijah started with something Elijah did. It wasn't born 211 00:16:20.879 --> 00:16:25.759 out of Elijah's brain. God instructed him to bind up 212 00:16:26.440 --> 00:16:30.759 the clouds and the rain. And at the end of 213 00:16:30.759 --> 00:16:33.879 the three and a half years, it wasn't Elijah's mind 214 00:16:34.039 --> 00:16:36.840 or brain that said, oh now it's time to do this, Okay, 215 00:16:36.919 --> 00:16:41.000 I'm going to release disguise. It was the revelation. So 216 00:16:41.200 --> 00:16:48.120 revelation is central. Revelation for healing, revelation for miracles, revelation 217 00:16:48.320 --> 00:16:52.399 for your family. What's the destiny on your family? What's 218 00:16:52.399 --> 00:16:55.000 God called your family to what is your role with 219 00:16:55.080 --> 00:16:58.159 the family, What should you believing for it? It's really 220 00:16:58.919 --> 00:17:03.559 it's revelation. That's revelation from him. And then this revelation 221 00:17:04.000 --> 00:17:07.759 as he illuminates scripture, because he's going to illuminate scripture 222 00:17:08.119 --> 00:17:11.359 as you read it under the liberty of Holy Spirit. 223 00:17:11.400 --> 00:17:14.119 He's going to illuminate scripture and you're going to start 224 00:17:14.160 --> 00:17:22.000 to get revelation. So so the goal I'm talking about 225 00:17:22.079 --> 00:17:25.079 prayer and I'm talking about worship and entering in because 226 00:17:25.119 --> 00:17:28.039 I want you to be fruitful. God wants you to 227 00:17:28.079 --> 00:17:30.759 be fruitful in your prayers. He wants you to be 228 00:17:30.759 --> 00:17:37.000 as fruitful as Jesus was. So but the goal always 229 00:17:37.039 --> 00:17:41.519 remember this, the goal is not petition. Petition is not 230 00:17:42.640 --> 00:17:51.279 the petition is not the pinnacle of prayer. Prophetic proclamation 231 00:17:51.640 --> 00:17:54.960 is the pinnacle of prayer. Now why would why would 232 00:17:55.039 --> 00:17:58.839 proclamation be the be the pinnacle of prayer? Because in 233 00:17:58.960 --> 00:18:04.039 proclamation and you are the deputy of Jesus, you're the 234 00:18:04.079 --> 00:18:07.880 ambassador of Jesus. You're actually now you've come up in 235 00:18:07.960 --> 00:18:15.119 the revelation, either by petition or by worship, and now 236 00:18:15.200 --> 00:18:18.920 you see what God wants. And so now as a 237 00:18:19.079 --> 00:18:22.400 delegate of authority in the earth. You declare that it 238 00:18:22.440 --> 00:18:28.839 begins to come to pass. So even Paul says in 239 00:18:28.839 --> 00:18:32.960 one Corinthians fourteen, covet that you prophesy. You don't have 240 00:18:33.000 --> 00:18:35.759 to covet that you're a prophet. We don't need to 241 00:18:35.759 --> 00:18:37.799 know you as the prophet. It's not important that we 242 00:18:37.880 --> 00:18:41.759 know you as the prophet. But covet that you prophesy well. 243 00:18:42.160 --> 00:18:48.000 And it says because prophecy is higher, well, we covet 244 00:18:48.039 --> 00:18:55.599 that we prophesy. But prophecy or prophesying or declaring or decreeing, 245 00:18:56.240 --> 00:19:00.000 it's a partnership with Jesus, and it only can happen 246 00:19:00.119 --> 00:19:04.519 through revelation. And I want to show you that it 247 00:19:04.559 --> 00:19:09.160 doesn't mean moment by moment revelation. I want to show 248 00:19:09.160 --> 00:19:13.960 you something very important that as you enter into God, 249 00:19:14.039 --> 00:19:16.759 as you enter into the Word, as you enter into 250 00:19:17.200 --> 00:19:20.720 and press into him to know the truth of his 251 00:19:20.839 --> 00:19:24.160 nature and about him and what he's desired and what 252 00:19:24.200 --> 00:19:27.440 he's doing, and what Jesus has done for you, then 253 00:19:27.680 --> 00:19:32.400 as you get any revelation that revelation is actually a 254 00:19:32.440 --> 00:19:40.279 living thing. Revelation is a living thing, and revelation creates 255 00:19:40.279 --> 00:19:47.279 green light. Theology once. Once I get a revelation on healing, 256 00:19:48.000 --> 00:19:54.400 I don't need a new revelation on healing. Now, there 257 00:19:54.480 --> 00:19:58.119 was a day when I didn't understand healing. I had 258 00:19:58.160 --> 00:20:01.680 heard about healing, I had heard the others talk about healing. 259 00:20:01.680 --> 00:20:05.160 I'm just using this as an example. I'd talk about healing, 260 00:20:06.480 --> 00:20:09.039 but I didn't have a revelation on my own revelation 261 00:20:09.079 --> 00:20:12.960 on healing. That's the same for tithing. It's the same forgiving. 262 00:20:13.200 --> 00:20:14.640 There was a time where I didn't I was a 263 00:20:14.720 --> 00:20:18.079 Christian and didn't have a revelation on tithing, so I 264 00:20:18.200 --> 00:20:23.640 gave it very begrudgingly. I didn't have a There was 265 00:20:23.680 --> 00:20:25.880 a time where I didn't have a revelation on offerings. 266 00:20:26.880 --> 00:20:29.279 Over the time when I didn't have a revelation on deliverance. 267 00:20:30.039 --> 00:20:31.799 There was the time when I didn't have a revelation 268 00:20:32.000 --> 00:20:36.559 on heaven on earth. So all these and so, and 269 00:20:38.000 --> 00:20:42.160 when you don't have a revelation on something, you can't 270 00:20:42.200 --> 00:20:47.480 superimpose that revelation onto what pertains you. But let's take 271 00:20:47.519 --> 00:20:51.000 healing for instance. Once I received a revelation on healing, 272 00:20:51.440 --> 00:20:56.559 that revelation brought faith, faith cometh by hearing, hearing, by 273 00:20:56.559 --> 00:21:04.519 the Reign of Christ. Faith cometh my hearing, hearing by 274 00:21:04.960 --> 00:21:08.200 the Rama, the living Word of Christ. That's how faith cometh. 275 00:21:08.720 --> 00:21:13.240 That's how faith comes, right, King James cometh. But once 276 00:21:13.400 --> 00:21:18.359 faith comes, once you have a revelation on something, you 277 00:21:18.359 --> 00:21:24.359 don't need a new revelation. Go to John five. Go 278 00:21:24.839 --> 00:21:26.920 to John five. This is why I want to show 279 00:21:26.920 --> 00:21:30.640 you this because it'll help you in your effectiveness in prayer. 280 00:21:30.799 --> 00:21:35.319 John five, nineteen. John five. This is where Jesus heals 281 00:21:35.359 --> 00:21:40.599 a paralyzed man who's been paralyzed for thirty eight years. 282 00:21:42.279 --> 00:21:47.359 He heals this paralyzed man who's been paralyzed for thirty 283 00:21:47.400 --> 00:21:51.039 eight years. And now he's going to talk about that, 284 00:21:51.559 --> 00:21:56.440 and it says here, truly. Therefore Jesus answered and was 285 00:21:56.480 --> 00:21:59.079 saying to them, truly, truly, I say to you, the 286 00:21:59.200 --> 00:22:03.480 son can do nothing of himself unless it is something 287 00:22:03.559 --> 00:22:08.960 he sees the father doing. For whatever the father does, 288 00:22:09.160 --> 00:22:13.759 these things, the son also does in the same way. 289 00:22:15.680 --> 00:22:17.279 So that's a good question. What do you see the 290 00:22:17.319 --> 00:22:20.839 father doing? What do you see the father doing? You 291 00:22:20.880 --> 00:22:22.759 can only do what you see the Father doing. You 292 00:22:22.759 --> 00:22:25.279 can only see what and you can only do what 293 00:22:25.319 --> 00:22:29.519 you see Jesus doing. Who is now your representative, who 294 00:22:29.640 --> 00:22:34.160 is the second Adam, who is the supreme Man, who 295 00:22:34.240 --> 00:22:38.640 is who's ruling from heaven, ruling through you. He's the 296 00:22:38.680 --> 00:22:42.839 head of the church. You're the body. So he wants 297 00:22:42.920 --> 00:22:46.559 to demonstrate his fullness through you. What do you see 298 00:22:46.599 --> 00:22:51.359 him doing? He could only do what he saw. Now. 299 00:22:51.359 --> 00:22:53.960 This is because he was not living in his divinity 300 00:22:54.319 --> 00:22:56.119 for three three and a half years. He's living in 301 00:22:56.160 --> 00:23:02.400 his humanity. So he needed rev elation. So in his 302 00:23:02.559 --> 00:23:05.519 humanity he approached God, just like David did out of 303 00:23:05.559 --> 00:23:08.839 Psalms one hundred, verse four. He approached God through the 304 00:23:08.839 --> 00:23:13.079 gate of worship. When he approached God through the gate 305 00:23:13.119 --> 00:23:15.960 of worship, then God would show him what he was 306 00:23:16.039 --> 00:23:18.319 up to. Oh I raised the dead, Oh I heal 307 00:23:18.359 --> 00:23:21.880 the sick. Oh I deliver from demons. Oh I demolish 308 00:23:22.000 --> 00:23:25.599 the curse. This is And so he would be showing 309 00:23:25.720 --> 00:23:29.640 him these things, and as he would get this rama, 310 00:23:29.759 --> 00:23:33.400 this revelation, then he would see, Oh, that's what Father's doing. 311 00:23:33.880 --> 00:23:36.759 That's why I'm here. That's why i'm here. That's what 312 00:23:36.799 --> 00:23:41.279 Father's doing. That's why I'm here. That's what Father's doing. 313 00:23:41.799 --> 00:23:45.480 And so then he would go out and find that 314 00:23:45.559 --> 00:23:49.559 there were opportunities, and actually the Bible says that there 315 00:23:49.559 --> 00:23:53.720 were so many things that happened. There isn't a book 316 00:23:53.920 --> 00:23:57.519 large enough to control the contain the volume of all 317 00:23:57.559 --> 00:24:04.240 that happened. So we're just given high light stories. If 318 00:24:04.319 --> 00:24:07.759 you understand that every highlight story, though, is a story 319 00:24:07.799 --> 00:24:10.519 that was picked by Holy Spirit on purpose to help 320 00:24:10.599 --> 00:24:15.119 us and to teach us, to give us instruction. He 321 00:24:15.160 --> 00:24:18.680 goes on for the Father loves the son and shows 322 00:24:18.799 --> 00:24:22.200 him all things that he himself is doing. The Father 323 00:24:22.319 --> 00:24:25.759 loves the son and shows him all things that he 324 00:24:25.839 --> 00:24:28.720 himself is doing. Well, that hasn't changed. The Father loves you, 325 00:24:29.200 --> 00:24:31.359 and he wants to show you all things that he 326 00:24:31.480 --> 00:24:34.000 is doing. But you have to get into his heart. 327 00:24:34.039 --> 00:24:36.640 And you can't get into his heart except through the 328 00:24:36.759 --> 00:24:42.599 gate of thanksgiving and worship and adoration and prayers. But 329 00:24:42.640 --> 00:24:45.160 when you get into when you open that gate, you 330 00:24:45.160 --> 00:24:47.680 can get into his heart. When you get into his heart, 331 00:24:47.720 --> 00:24:51.960 he will show you what he's doing. If he doesn't 332 00:24:52.000 --> 00:24:55.079 show you what he's doing, your prayers might as well 333 00:24:55.119 --> 00:25:04.519 just be a lot of hot air. I'm not saying 334 00:25:04.559 --> 00:25:08.759 your prayers are hard. I'm just saying your petitions and 335 00:25:08.839 --> 00:25:17.119 your worship, they must result in revelation. Now that speaks 336 00:25:17.119 --> 00:25:19.640 to a lot of things, doesn't it. It speaks to getting 337 00:25:19.720 --> 00:25:23.160 the distractions out, getting the unbelief out, It speaks to 338 00:25:23.240 --> 00:25:25.599 time spent. It speaks to a lot of things. But 339 00:25:25.640 --> 00:25:28.640 I'm just saying this is the goal. The goal for 340 00:25:28.680 --> 00:25:30.599 you is not a bunch of petition. The goal for 341 00:25:30.680 --> 00:25:34.960 you is that through worship and petition you get revelation, 342 00:25:38.920 --> 00:25:41.720 and the Father will show him greater things than these, 343 00:25:41.759 --> 00:25:44.319 so that you will be amazed. For just as the 344 00:25:44.400 --> 00:25:48.640 Father raises the dead and gives them life, so the 345 00:25:48.720 --> 00:25:56.079 son also gives life to whom he wishes. Let's read 346 00:25:56.119 --> 00:25:59.839 that again. For just as the Father raises the dead 347 00:26:00.160 --> 00:26:05.640 and gives them life, so the son gives life to 348 00:26:05.680 --> 00:26:11.079 whom he wishes. Now what's that mean. That means that 349 00:26:11.119 --> 00:26:16.079 once Jesus got the revelation that Father raises things that 350 00:26:16.119 --> 00:26:21.599 are dead, that he raises that once Jesus got the oh, 351 00:26:22.000 --> 00:26:26.720 messing with the cameras, Sorry, Tae, once I'm coming down. 352 00:26:26.880 --> 00:26:31.279 I'm coming down here on the front row. Once Jesus 353 00:26:31.400 --> 00:26:37.880 got the revelation that Father raises the dead, then he 354 00:26:37.960 --> 00:26:45.359 had a green light on raising the dead every revelation 355 00:26:45.640 --> 00:26:50.319 you get gives you a green light on that revelation 356 00:26:51.799 --> 00:27:00.680 to superimpose that revelation over every situation in life with clamation. 357 00:27:01.839 --> 00:27:08.079 No more petition. Why would you Why would you ever 358 00:27:08.240 --> 00:27:14.319 petition for something you have revelation on. That's foolish, That 359 00:27:14.480 --> 00:27:19.359 is absolute foolishness. The petition for something you already have 360 00:27:19.440 --> 00:27:26.359 revelation on. Revelation elevates you into proclamation, because revelation makes 361 00:27:26.400 --> 00:27:31.400 you one with Jesus and the mind and the will 362 00:27:31.680 --> 00:27:38.759 of Jesus. So let's say Dennis passes away right here 363 00:27:38.799 --> 00:27:43.000 on the front row. Dennis passes away. Oh, he's leaning 364 00:27:43.039 --> 00:27:47.160 into the bosom of Frank. They are now bosom buddies. 365 00:27:47.680 --> 00:27:51.880 That's the shoulder of Frank. Okay, all right, So we've 366 00:27:51.880 --> 00:27:54.759 got Dennis passed away, And so what would we do 367 00:27:54.839 --> 00:27:58.480 about this. Well, once we understand that Father raises the dead, 368 00:27:59.119 --> 00:28:03.319 but also that once we have a revelation, that we 369 00:28:03.480 --> 00:28:11.799 also can raise the dead with regard to whoever we wish. No, 370 00:28:11.920 --> 00:28:14.119 we have to understand this is true, this is powerful. 371 00:28:15.759 --> 00:28:18.519 Pastor Dennis is dead. Dead people don't take pictures of 372 00:28:18.559 --> 00:28:29.519 themselves leaning and leaning into Frank's bosom. And so here's 373 00:28:29.559 --> 00:28:34.559 how listen. Listen typically the way, and this is why. 374 00:28:35.079 --> 00:28:38.000 The reason we don't pray very much. Can I be 375 00:28:38.000 --> 00:28:40.759 honest with you. The reason we struggle with prayer is 376 00:28:40.799 --> 00:28:47.279 because we we aren't praying from revelation, and so the 377 00:28:47.359 --> 00:28:51.160 absence of revelation will mean we only pray with hope 378 00:28:52.079 --> 00:28:56.240 and hope. Prayers we can only hope that they come 379 00:28:56.279 --> 00:29:01.640 to pass. So we have to, really, we really have to. 380 00:29:01.799 --> 00:29:04.400 We have to talk ourselves into prayer. I mean like 381 00:29:04.400 --> 00:29:08.480 we got to whip ourselves good, Like we really have to. 382 00:29:08.640 --> 00:29:11.480 We really have to, like, oh, you know, okay, if 383 00:29:11.480 --> 00:29:13.880 you're a good Christian, you would pray. Okay, the whole 384 00:29:13.960 --> 00:29:17.519 church is praying, everybody. Everybody's going to know you're not praying. 385 00:29:18.279 --> 00:29:20.240 Your spouse is going to know you're really not praying. 386 00:29:20.799 --> 00:29:22.680 Oh you need to be an example to your children. 387 00:29:22.759 --> 00:29:24.759 So you need to pray. And we got we got 388 00:29:24.759 --> 00:29:27.400 to talk ourselves into why because we don't think prayer 389 00:29:27.480 --> 00:29:34.680 is actually effective, because we don't know that we can raise, 390 00:29:35.480 --> 00:29:43.000 we can give life to anything dead. And so here's 391 00:29:43.039 --> 00:29:46.200 how we pray. Oh, oh I noticed you're dead. Oh 392 00:29:46.240 --> 00:29:48.960 my goodness, what should we do? Let's gather some people around, 393 00:29:49.000 --> 00:29:52.920 gether around. Let's let's let's let's ask if it's God's 394 00:29:52.960 --> 00:29:55.359 will to heal him. We aren't sure if it is 395 00:29:55.400 --> 00:29:58.200 God's will, So let's ask if it is God's will. 396 00:29:59.039 --> 00:30:02.000 We haven't i' I'm not read first Peter two twenty four. 397 00:30:02.039 --> 00:30:04.599 I've not read Isaiah fifty three four. I don't know 398 00:30:04.640 --> 00:30:08.079 if it's God will to heal. I'm your common American Christian, 399 00:30:08.839 --> 00:30:11.319 and so I don't know. God, is it your will? Well? 400 00:30:11.359 --> 00:30:13.599 I don't know. Do you know? You don't know? Do 401 00:30:13.640 --> 00:30:16.319
