WEBVTT 1 00:00:02.319 --> 00:00:10.960 February twenty twenty. That was COVID and that was the coronavirus, right, 2 00:00:11.119 --> 00:00:17.199 and corona means crowned virus or king virus. And we 3 00:00:17.320 --> 00:00:23.039 know that it attacked the breath of humans, right, we 4 00:00:23.160 --> 00:00:25.440 know that it had a spiritual dimension to it. I 5 00:00:25.440 --> 00:00:29.239 mean if you knew that, so we know the testimony 6 00:00:29.280 --> 00:00:35.119 of people coming under the influence of it was dread, fear, 7 00:00:36.240 --> 00:00:43.719 even the influence of death. Right, So but rewind even further. 8 00:00:43.960 --> 00:00:51.640 Nineteen eighty Bob Jones Kansas City Prophets associated there with 9 00:00:51.679 --> 00:00:56.640 the Vineyard Church and the Vineyard Movement. Bob Jones had 10 00:00:56.719 --> 00:01:05.280 a very clear prophetic given to him and often Bob 11 00:01:05.400 --> 00:01:10.280 and others in the Kansas City Prophets, they would get 12 00:01:10.319 --> 00:01:15.159 these words that had signs to them, so there would 13 00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:19.560 be like a sign or a symbol, something that signified 14 00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:25.040 or signified the fulfillment of the word. And so as 15 00:01:25.079 --> 00:01:28.920 they were praying over global awakening, they were praying over 16 00:01:28.920 --> 00:01:32.359 a revival as all of us have been. And if 17 00:01:32.400 --> 00:01:36.640 you're old like me, you know this has been the 18 00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:40.640 dream of my parents, the dream of you know, so 19 00:01:40.719 --> 00:01:43.680 many of us that are like my age is we 20 00:01:43.760 --> 00:01:46.400 haven't seen a real move of God in our generation. 21 00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:55.840 And so he gets this prophetic word and this is 22 00:01:55.840 --> 00:01:59.599 the Vineyard Church of Kansas City, and the prophetic word 23 00:01:59.599 --> 00:02:03.400 that he gets is that when the Kansas City Chiefs 24 00:02:03.480 --> 00:02:09.479 win the Super Bowl. Now they hadn't won the Super 25 00:02:09.479 --> 00:02:14.120 Bowl in years and years, this is in the eighties. 26 00:02:14.159 --> 00:02:17.919 But when the Kansas City Chiefs win the Super Bowl, 27 00:02:19.439 --> 00:02:22.599 God will it will be a sign. It's going to 28 00:02:22.639 --> 00:02:25.879 be a sign that when they have that win, when 29 00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:27.439 they have that victory, it's going to be a sign 30 00:02:27.960 --> 00:02:33.120 that a global awakening is starting, that a revival is starting. 31 00:02:34.439 --> 00:02:37.759 And one of the words, actually, Sean Boltz records it 32 00:02:37.800 --> 00:02:41.680 this way. Sean was the prayer leader there at the 33 00:02:41.800 --> 00:02:47.360 church and the ministry for a number of years, and 34 00:02:47.400 --> 00:02:51.039 here's the way he remembers it. When the Kansas City 35 00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:54.719 Chiefs go to the Super Bowl and win, this will 36 00:02:54.759 --> 00:02:58.599 be a sign post of the billion soul harvest and 37 00:02:58.680 --> 00:03:01.759 a sign that God will raise up his apostolic chiefs 38 00:03:02.360 --> 00:03:08.039 in all the spheres of influence. I mean, ha've heard 39 00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:12.560 that before, so some you've heard it. This word was 40 00:03:12.639 --> 00:03:19.879 so it was so predominant, so prevailing, so like everybody 41 00:03:19.960 --> 00:03:22.759 was hearing this word, you know, Bob Jones was sharing 42 00:03:22.800 --> 00:03:27.439 this word in the eighties. But this word was you know, 43 00:03:27.520 --> 00:03:31.599 it was reverberating, and it became so impactful in terms 44 00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:38.439 of reverberation that the church there and the prayer ministry 45 00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:42.039 IHOP International Health of Prayer Ministry, they started praying for 46 00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:46.639 the Kansas City Chiefs to win the Super Bowl. They're like, okay, well, 47 00:03:46.680 --> 00:03:48.639 if we need the Kansas City Chiefs to win the 48 00:03:48.680 --> 00:03:51.000 Super Bowl for the great Awakening to begin, let's begin 49 00:03:51.080 --> 00:03:58.280 to pray for the Kansas City Chiefs right now. James 50 00:03:58.280 --> 00:04:01.120 gall was one of the prophets there, and he remembers 51 00:04:01.159 --> 00:04:03.159 it this way, when the Kansas City Chiefs go to 52 00:04:03.199 --> 00:04:07.159 the Big One, it will be a sign that revival 53 00:04:07.400 --> 00:04:12.159 is coming and that the heartland will be healed. So 54 00:04:12.319 --> 00:04:15.560 there were a few variations that Bob would share over 55 00:04:15.560 --> 00:04:21.439 those years. Right well, February two of twenty twenty, they 56 00:04:21.480 --> 00:04:26.279 won the Super Bowl. It was a massive victory. It 57 00:04:26.360 --> 00:04:30.079 was a crazy there was so much symbolism to it 58 00:04:30.680 --> 00:04:34.439 on the day that they won on I mean from 59 00:04:34.560 --> 00:04:36.959 you know, all the way down to a lot of 60 00:04:37.040 --> 00:04:41.800 factors about the team, the coach, the quarterback. But they 61 00:04:41.879 --> 00:04:45.560 won February two of twenty twenty, they won the Super Bowl, 62 00:04:46.040 --> 00:04:49.279 and all of us knew it was the beginning of 63 00:04:49.360 --> 00:04:53.120 global awakening, and we knew it was the beginning of 64 00:04:53.199 --> 00:04:56.079 a global revival. We knew it was the beginning of 65 00:04:56.160 --> 00:05:01.279 the chiefs, the apostolic chiefs. We're going to be raised 66 00:05:01.360 --> 00:05:03.360 up by God, not only in the church, but in 67 00:05:03.399 --> 00:05:07.120 every sector of society. We knew all this was going 68 00:05:07.160 --> 00:05:17.360 to happen. And immediately COVID hit and the attention of 69 00:05:17.439 --> 00:05:23.800 the church there was like this massive collision of the 70 00:05:23.839 --> 00:05:28.000 word of the Lord against the word of darkness. And 71 00:05:28.040 --> 00:05:31.040 the word of darkness was to suffocate the church, to 72 00:05:31.160 --> 00:05:34.959 silence the church, to gag the church, and even to 73 00:05:35.680 --> 00:05:39.680 quench the church, and even to shut the church down globally, 74 00:05:40.360 --> 00:05:44.240 when there was supposed to be a great breakout of awakening, 75 00:05:47.279 --> 00:05:53.240 what looked to be a great victory and a great 76 00:05:53.639 --> 00:05:57.199 sudden fulfillment, right all at once, it looked like there 77 00:05:57.240 --> 00:06:03.120 was going to be a great disillusionment, a great disillusionment, 78 00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:08.720 and much of the body of Christ fell prey to that. 79 00:06:09.199 --> 00:06:11.879 How many of you know that, So thousands of churches 80 00:06:11.920 --> 00:06:15.720 closed and never opened again, thousands of pastors across the 81 00:06:15.720 --> 00:06:20.240 globe resigned from ministry and have never gone back into 82 00:06:20.279 --> 00:06:24.199 the ministry. Thousands of people left the church and haven't 83 00:06:24.199 --> 00:06:27.839 gone back to church. But hundreds of thousands of people 84 00:06:28.560 --> 00:06:35.240 came to church globally, hundreds of hundreds upon hundreds of thousands, 85 00:06:35.680 --> 00:06:39.959 maybe millions began to re engage with God and with Church. 86 00:06:40.680 --> 00:06:45.680 And what Satan meant to silence the Church actually awakened 87 00:06:45.800 --> 00:06:54.160 the Church, and the word of the Lord didn't fall 88 00:06:54.199 --> 00:06:57.079 to the ground. The word of the Lord through the 89 00:06:57.120 --> 00:07:05.480 prophet actually was sharpened, quickened, ignited even greater. Because those 90 00:07:05.519 --> 00:07:08.040 of us with eyes to see, we could see this 91 00:07:08.279 --> 00:07:12.560 was a Satanic attack against the Church, and this was 92 00:07:12.639 --> 00:07:16.560 meant to be a global reset for darkness. But God 93 00:07:16.680 --> 00:07:19.000 was going to work it to be a global reset 94 00:07:19.040 --> 00:07:21.720 for the light of the Kingdom of God and for 95 00:07:21.800 --> 00:07:27.680 the glory of God. Now Here at New Horizon, we 96 00:07:27.800 --> 00:07:32.879 started announcing in February of twenty twenty, we started announcing 97 00:07:33.199 --> 00:07:39.480 that what was actually happening was a global deliverance, that 98 00:07:39.639 --> 00:07:49.399 COVID would actually work to the stumbling of darkness, and 99 00:07:49.480 --> 00:07:53.120 what God would bring about in the next few years 100 00:07:53.160 --> 00:07:59.160 would be a global deliverance. Now, a bunch of you 101 00:07:59.279 --> 00:08:01.800 agreed with this bunch of you actually partnered with us. 102 00:08:02.160 --> 00:08:04.759 We partnered in prayer, we partnered in fast, and we 103 00:08:04.839 --> 00:08:08.759 continued and we were coming out of our twenty one days. 104 00:08:08.759 --> 00:08:10.560 We were coming out of our summit, and we were 105 00:08:10.959 --> 00:08:14.360 we were repped up and excited. And when COVID hit, 106 00:08:14.480 --> 00:08:18.079 we reopened the church as soon as we could, and 107 00:08:18.120 --> 00:08:21.600 we were marching forward and we grew by probably I 108 00:08:21.600 --> 00:08:24.399 don't know, one hundred and fifty members, and people were 109 00:08:24.439 --> 00:08:29.360 coming here from woke churches all over the region and saying, 110 00:08:29.399 --> 00:08:37.240 we don't want woke, we want awake. Hello, somebody, And 111 00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:40.120 so we added a second service and we never went back, 112 00:08:40.399 --> 00:08:48.840 and now we need a third. Come on, somebody. But 113 00:08:48.879 --> 00:08:50.639 I want you to see. I want you to look 114 00:08:51.159 --> 00:08:54.720 this morning. I want you looking in the rear view mirror, 115 00:08:54.720 --> 00:08:57.519 because I don't know what you were thinking. You might 116 00:08:57.559 --> 00:09:00.240 have been thinking, oh, yeah, this is the end. Some 117 00:09:00.279 --> 00:09:02.919 were selling all their stocks. Some thought the anti Christ 118 00:09:03.080 --> 00:09:07.080 was coming. Some could see nation rising against nation. They 119 00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:10.039 had Matthew twenty four all figured out. They knew that 120 00:09:10.200 --> 00:09:13.360 darkness and great darkness was coming. And we kept saying 121 00:09:13.399 --> 00:09:16.240 to you know, this is a global deliverance. God is 122 00:09:16.279 --> 00:09:18.399 going to work in a powerful way. We're going to 123 00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:21.840 see the enemies subdued. We're going to see the enemies 124 00:09:21.879 --> 00:09:24.639 of Christ put under his feet. We're going to see 125 00:09:24.720 --> 00:09:27.639 victory after victory. Hang on, hang on, hang out, and 126 00:09:27.639 --> 00:09:30.600 buckle up. Now. I want you to look in the 127 00:09:30.600 --> 00:09:35.960 rear view mirror, because it actually got worse. You remember, 128 00:09:36.000 --> 00:09:39.320 it actually got worse because then we had an election 129 00:09:39.960 --> 00:09:46.000 and we somehow were snookered into the wrong president. Do 130 00:09:46.039 --> 00:09:50.759 you remember that. You remember some of that. And so 131 00:09:50.919 --> 00:09:54.399 the leadership of the nation got worse, and things got bad, 132 00:09:54.480 --> 00:09:58.200 and we had the autopin in operation, and we had 133 00:09:58.279 --> 00:10:01.399 all this stuff going on. It's getting worse and worse 134 00:10:01.440 --> 00:10:04.159 and worse, and it looks like the kingdom of darkness 135 00:10:04.240 --> 00:10:07.279 is going to take over. But those of us with 136 00:10:07.320 --> 00:10:09.840 a heart and with a vision for the Kingdom of God, 137 00:10:09.919 --> 00:10:14.039 we see God is going to work this to the good. 138 00:10:15.440 --> 00:10:17.519 And now we're on the other side and we can 139 00:10:17.600 --> 00:10:20.759 see in the rear view mirror, because hindsight's always better 140 00:10:21.679 --> 00:10:25.279 than foresight, right, hindsight is twenty twenty. We can look 141 00:10:25.320 --> 00:10:27.440 now in the rear view mirror and we can see 142 00:10:27.639 --> 00:10:33.120 God is working in the nations. We woke up yesterday. 143 00:10:33.159 --> 00:10:35.320 Did you wake up yesterday morning? How many of you 144 00:10:35.320 --> 00:10:39.600 woke up yesterday morning. We woke up yesterday morning with 145 00:10:39.759 --> 00:10:50.519 a change of leadership in Vinza. I've been stumbling all weekend. 146 00:10:51.440 --> 00:10:55.679 Or Pastor Joles, she's been helping me. So we woke 147 00:10:55.799 --> 00:10:59.720 up to a change of leadership. Some of you are thinking, Oh, 148 00:10:59.759 --> 00:11:02.720 that's it's all about oil. Oh, that's all about Trump 149 00:11:02.840 --> 00:11:05.879 is just a bad dude. Oh that's all about Russia. 150 00:11:05.919 --> 00:11:07.759 That's all about China. I want to tell you what 151 00:11:07.799 --> 00:11:11.759 it's about. It's about the kingdoms of this earth becoming 152 00:11:11.799 --> 00:11:15.480 the kingdoms of our God and our Christ. It's about 153 00:11:15.519 --> 00:11:20.120 seven point seven million refugees that have been scattered all 154 00:11:20.159 --> 00:11:23.919 over the world coming home. It's about persecution in the 155 00:11:24.039 --> 00:11:27.320 church and persecution over the church coming to an end. 156 00:11:27.840 --> 00:11:31.919 It's about liberty and freedom. It's about thousands of pastors 157 00:11:31.919 --> 00:11:35.559 and leaders and Christians who've been either hiding or imprisoned 158 00:11:35.960 --> 00:11:39.120 coming into freedom. It's about joy. It's about liberty. It's 159 00:11:39.159 --> 00:11:43.559 about victory. It's about Eden. It's about heaven on Earth 160 00:11:43.639 --> 00:11:49.039 and Venzaweh, thank you very much. It's about heaven on 161 00:11:49.120 --> 00:11:52.519 earth for those people and for a great redemption and 162 00:11:52.600 --> 00:11:57.480 a great liberty. That's what it's about. And not only 163 00:11:57.559 --> 00:12:00.960 is it happening there, but there's something going on and Iran. Now, 164 00:12:01.000 --> 00:12:04.759 by the way, with doctor Trump and some of you 165 00:12:04.799 --> 00:12:08.200 aren't Trumpsters, and some of you are, you're sure that 166 00:12:08.320 --> 00:12:10.919 he is a pile of poo. And sometimes when he talks, 167 00:12:10.919 --> 00:12:12.960 we're all convinced that he's a pile of pooh. But 168 00:12:13.000 --> 00:12:14.600 here's what you have to know. You have to know 169 00:12:14.759 --> 00:12:20.159 God is using this pile of pooh. God is using 170 00:12:20.240 --> 00:12:24.159 an earthen vessel. God is using this clay vessel. He 171 00:12:24.159 --> 00:12:26.559 says in Isaiah forty five. Toward the end of Isaiah 172 00:12:26.600 --> 00:12:28.320 forty five, of which I'm going to read in a minute, 173 00:12:28.440 --> 00:12:30.759 he says, who are you to argue with the potter? 174 00:12:31.919 --> 00:12:33.399 The potter can do what he wants to do with 175 00:12:33.480 --> 00:12:36.240 the clay. And I chose Cyrus to do this, and 176 00:12:36.279 --> 00:12:38.879 I'm going to do this through Cyrus. And you know what, 177 00:12:38.960 --> 00:12:41.440 you got nothing to say about it? Just to work 178 00:12:41.519 --> 00:12:45.240 with me and cooperate. Why don't we partner together. Why 179 00:12:45.240 --> 00:12:48.000 don't we partner together with what I'd like to do. 180 00:12:49.279 --> 00:12:51.879 God wants to do things, and it's better that we 181 00:12:51.919 --> 00:12:54.279 see what he's up to and partner with him. If 182 00:12:54.279 --> 00:12:57.159 we will align our hearts with him and align our 183 00:12:57.279 --> 00:13:00.799 voices with him, this is all he needs for partnership 184 00:13:01.080 --> 00:13:06.799 to bring forth kingdom realities. So one of the things 185 00:13:06.840 --> 00:13:09.440 you know that we've seen. So when we woke up 186 00:13:09.519 --> 00:13:13.720 yesterday to whatever was happening, and thank you, when we 187 00:13:13.799 --> 00:13:16.759 woke up, we got to realize that was like Nation 188 00:13:17.000 --> 00:13:21.200 number ten that mister Cyrus has been used to bring 189 00:13:21.279 --> 00:13:30.919 peaceful resolution, global transformation, geopolitical change and rescue and in 190 00:13:30.960 --> 00:13:37.600 the process, liberty to the gospel, Liberty to the gospel, 191 00:13:38.080 --> 00:13:40.399 liberty to the gospel. Now we're about ready to see 192 00:13:41.080 --> 00:13:45.240 you watch watch for Iran, fastest starving church in the 193 00:13:45.279 --> 00:13:48.600 worlds in Iran. Watch for what's happening, Watch and see 194 00:13:48.600 --> 00:13:51.440 what's going on over in Iran. We're about ready to 195 00:13:51.519 --> 00:13:55.879 see a crazy breakthrough in Iran. And this is the fulfillment. 196 00:13:55.960 --> 00:14:01.440 This is actually a prayer fulfillment solm the chapter two. 197 00:14:01.600 --> 00:14:05.440 Can you imagine that Jesus has to pray, you know, Jesus. 198 00:14:05.519 --> 00:14:09.360 It's interesting, but Jesus took on a flesh and blood 199 00:14:09.559 --> 00:14:14.879 earth suit, and it says in Philippians chapter two that 200 00:14:14.960 --> 00:14:18.919 he set aside his divinity, and he took on the 201 00:14:18.919 --> 00:14:22.080 form of humanity. And as he took on the form 202 00:14:22.120 --> 00:14:27.080 of humanity, then and and and and became a servant. 203 00:14:28.159 --> 00:14:33.440 Then it was in that place that he became a 204 00:14:33.559 --> 00:14:37.600 friend of God and a partner with God, and even 205 00:14:38.000 --> 00:14:48.679 even a prayer warrior. Think about that Jesus prayed. That 206 00:14:48.679 --> 00:14:53.840 message was your theology right there. Why would Jesus need 207 00:14:53.879 --> 00:14:57.039 to pray for the will of the Father? The prayer 208 00:14:57.320 --> 00:15:01.159 Jesus told us to pray was actually the primary prayer 209 00:15:01.200 --> 00:15:05.200 that Jesus is praying. Matthew chapter six nine through eleven, 210 00:15:05.799 --> 00:15:08.960 Thy Kingdom Come, Thy will be done on earth as 211 00:15:09.000 --> 00:15:12.519 it is in heaven. This prayer that Jesus was praying 212 00:15:12.639 --> 00:15:16.200 was actually it wasn't a foreign prayer. It's the prayer 213 00:15:16.919 --> 00:15:21.639 that Jesus prayed before the Father. As he's hearing what 214 00:15:21.759 --> 00:15:25.639 Father wants and desires, he says, I always do what 215 00:15:25.720 --> 00:15:29.759 the Father desires. I'm always listening, you know. Isaiah fifty. 216 00:15:30.120 --> 00:15:33.279 It talks about the prayer of Jesus. Isaiah fifty is 217 00:15:33.320 --> 00:15:37.440 a prayer of Jesus, and it's the communion between him 218 00:15:37.519 --> 00:15:40.200 and the Father. And it's a window in the communion 219 00:15:40.559 --> 00:15:43.120 between him and the Father and Isaiah fifty and it 220 00:15:43.200 --> 00:15:47.399 says that the Father opened his ear mourning by morning 221 00:15:48.159 --> 00:15:53.600 and taught him and led him and coached him and 222 00:15:53.639 --> 00:15:57.960 directed him, so that he would know what to say 223 00:15:58.240 --> 00:16:01.720 and he would know what to pray. Think about that. 224 00:16:02.559 --> 00:16:10.240 Think about that. We've got so much religiosity in our thinking. 225 00:16:10.879 --> 00:16:14.440 Of that religiosity, what I mean is we've got this 226 00:16:14.559 --> 00:16:17.879 thinking that whatever God wants to do, he's going to 227 00:16:17.919 --> 00:16:26.720 get done anyway. We've heard in so many of our 228 00:16:27.120 --> 00:16:30.639 theological circles, either we've caught it or it's been taught 229 00:16:30.679 --> 00:16:37.360 to us, and sometimes more is caught than taught, that 230 00:16:37.399 --> 00:16:39.440 God is sovereign and he's just going to do what 231 00:16:39.480 --> 00:16:44.879 he wants to do. But God is always looking for 232 00:16:44.960 --> 00:16:51.320 a people who agree with him in the earth, because 233 00:16:51.360 --> 00:16:54.679 he's given us. He's given us dominion in the earth, 234 00:16:55.000 --> 00:16:59.399 and he's given us dominion over the earth. And then 235 00:17:00.120 --> 00:17:08.160 Jesus became the supreme man, the victorious second Adam, so 236 00:17:08.200 --> 00:17:13.640 that in his humanity he has actually become one like 237 00:17:13.880 --> 00:17:23.519 us who's received dominion and authority in the earth. So 238 00:17:23.640 --> 00:17:27.680 we can either partner with Jesus and what he wants 239 00:17:27.720 --> 00:17:30.160 to bring into the earth and what he wants to accomplish, 240 00:17:30.599 --> 00:17:36.759 or we can partner with the demonic realm. This is 241 00:17:36.799 --> 00:17:39.960 why our prayers are so important. This is why our 242 00:17:40.000 --> 00:17:42.880 declarations are so important. This is why this twenty one 243 00:17:42.960 --> 00:17:45.599 days is so important. This is why the model of 244 00:17:45.680 --> 00:17:52.880 Daniel is so important. Is because in God's sovereignty, God 245 00:17:52.960 --> 00:17:56.480 has a sovereign will and a sovereign expression and a 246 00:17:56.559 --> 00:18:01.519 sovereign desire. But he always partners with people to bring 247 00:18:01.599 --> 00:18:05.880 that to pass. And he partners with people through prayer, 248 00:18:07.279 --> 00:18:14.519 through prayer, through agreement, through humility, through desire, through yearning. 249 00:18:14.880 --> 00:18:17.759 We yearn, we desire for his will, We yearn, we 250 00:18:17.839 --> 00:18:21.119 desire to know what he wants. We yearn we desire 251 00:18:21.359 --> 00:18:24.440 to yield to him. And then we come into agreement 252 00:18:24.519 --> 00:18:28.720 with him and we partner with him in the spirit realm. 253 00:18:28.839 --> 00:18:32.599 And all of that is through our words. And in 254 00:18:32.680 --> 00:18:42.039 twenty twenty Satan tried to silence the church. He's still 255 00:18:42.119 --> 00:18:46.759 trying to silence the church. He's still trying to silence you. 256 00:18:49.440 --> 00:18:54.799 What disillusionment have you listened to? What disillusionment have you 257 00:18:54.920 --> 00:19:03.079 partnered with over your participation in prayer? When we talk 258 00:19:03.160 --> 00:19:07.519 about when we talk about thirty minutes three times a day, Like, 259 00:19:08.319 --> 00:19:10.440 does that like go over your head? Does that go 260 00:19:10.559 --> 00:19:12.640 in one ear and out the other? Does that hit 261 00:19:12.680 --> 00:19:16.920 your heart and bounce right off? Like can you see 262 00:19:16.960 --> 00:19:22.799 yourself embracing that? Or have you received and come under 263 00:19:23.519 --> 00:19:29.480 the influence of this sovereign thinking God's just gonna do 264 00:19:29.519 --> 00:19:31.680 what he wants to do? And what good am I? 265 00:19:31.839 --> 00:19:34.240 And what is my role? And what good would it 266 00:19:34.240 --> 00:19:36.359 be for me to be involved? Or have you come 267 00:19:36.440 --> 00:19:39.680 under maybe the influence of some disillusionment? Oh, I tried 268 00:19:39.680 --> 00:19:43.559 that before. I've prayed before, I've prayed in the past. 269 00:19:44.160 --> 00:19:45.880 I've taken a little bit of time for that in 270 00:19:45.920 --> 00:19:49.559 the past. Really nothing much happened. I really don't think 271 00:19:49.599 --> 00:19:52.759 that it really paid off. I think, I think, and 272 00:19:52.799 --> 00:19:55.200 then we mix the two of those together, a little disillusionment, 273 00:19:55.200 --> 00:19:57.799 a little sovereignty. I think God just gonna do what 274 00:19:57.839 --> 00:20:04.519 he wants to do. Anyway, it's not really good. Now. 275 00:20:04.559 --> 00:20:12.599 What's crazy is Satan is smarter than that. Satan knows 276 00:20:12.960 --> 00:20:18.359 that the power of the spirit realm is agreement. Satan 277 00:20:18.480 --> 00:20:24.400 doesn't have power outside of agreement. It's agreement that moves darkness. 278 00:20:25.559 --> 00:20:30.559 It's agreement. It's vocal, verbal breath filled agreement that moves darkness. 279 00:20:31.160 --> 00:20:37.880 That's what moves darkness. Proverbs eighteen twenty one. Death and 280 00:20:38.119 --> 00:20:44.640 life are in the power of the tongue. Death is 281 00:20:44.680 --> 00:20:52.599 in the power of the tongue. Death is in the 282 00:20:52.599 --> 00:21:09.440 power of the tongue. He had Matthew sixteen nineteen before 283 00:21:09.519 --> 00:21:17.119 Jesus did. Satan had Matthew sixteen nineteen before Jesus did. 284 00:21:19.000 --> 00:21:23.759 Whatsoever you bind on earth shall be bound. Whatsoever you 285 00:21:23.839 --> 00:21:28.599 loose on earth to be loosed. Satan had already spent 286 00:21:30.240 --> 00:21:35.160 thirty five hundred years or more working through the tongues 287 00:21:35.759 --> 00:21:40.359 of the nations to bind up righteousness and to loose wickedness. 288 00:21:41.960 --> 00:21:43.839 And as the prince of the power of the air, 289 00:21:44.839 --> 00:21:50.799 it was working really well. And it was working so 290 00:21:51.039 --> 00:21:55.039 well that every nation except one was under his spell. 291 00:21:55.319 --> 00:21:58.279 And the nation that wasn't under his spell, or the 292 00:21:58.279 --> 00:22:04.400 people of God, or Israel or Judah and Israel, they 293 00:22:04.440 --> 00:22:12.279 were up and down constantly under the spell of darkness, liberated, 294 00:22:12.440 --> 00:22:20.720 under liberated, under liberated. The power of agreement was working. 295 00:22:23.400 --> 00:22:27.240 But then a greater one came, and he said, if 296 00:22:27.279 --> 00:22:34.640 I come and I bind the strong man, then there's 297 00:22:34.680 --> 00:22:36.880 going to be a people who can plunder his house. 298 00:22:39.240 --> 00:22:41.640 There's going to be a people who can plunder his house. 299 00:22:44.119 --> 00:22:46.279 But the people that plunder his house are not a 300 00:22:46.359 --> 00:22:56.559 silent people. That's why Satan loves silent churches. We think 301 00:22:56.680 --> 00:23:01.400 a silent church is a pious church, that's what we've 302 00:23:01.440 --> 00:23:05.039 been taught religiously, but Satan knows it's a dead church. 303 00:23:06.319 --> 00:23:11.359 A silent church is a dead church. The power is 304 00:23:11.400 --> 00:23:15.960 in the agreement of your voice, the agreement of your 305 00:23:16.079 --> 00:23:20.839 voice with God's word and God's will and God's desire 306 00:23:21.079 --> 00:23:24.559 and God's heart and God's heart over you, and God's 307 00:23:24.599 --> 00:23:28.119 heart over your family, and God's heart over the nations. 308 00:23:28.880 --> 00:23:38.079 This is where the power is. So even Jesus praid, 309 00:23:38.119 --> 00:23:43.720 it's recorded Psalm two, verse eight, ask of me for 310 00:23:43.799 --> 00:23:50.039 the nations as your inheritance. Even the ends of the 311 00:23:50.079 --> 00:23:56.200 earth ask of me, ask of me, ask of me. 312 00:24:02.920 --> 00:24:06.480 That prayer is still the prayer that's on our lips, 313 00:24:07.880 --> 00:24:11.680 that prayer that Jesus brought, it's still a prayer that's 314 00:24:11.720 --> 00:24:16.279 on our lips today. Father, give the son the Nations. 315 00:24:19.160 --> 00:24:23.839 He's worthy, Father of the Nations. Have you looked in 316 00:24:23.880 --> 00:24:28.000 your rear view mirror. He's giving. He's giving he's giving 317 00:24:28.039 --> 00:24:33.000 the Son all the nations. Saturday morning we woke up 318 00:24:33.000 --> 00:24:41.200 to a new nation given to the Son. There's more coming, 319 00:24:42.319 --> 00:24:47.000 there's more coming, there's more liberty coming. There's more liberation coming. 320 00:24:47.000 --> 00:24:53.759 There's more freedom coming. And he's using this crazy Cyrus. 321 00:24:54.240 --> 00:25:01.599 He's using this crazy Cyrus. Isaiah forty five, Trump forty five. 322 00:25:03.640 --> 00:25:06.119 This is what the Lord says to his anointed, to Cyrus, 323 00:25:06.599 --> 00:25:09.640 whose right hand I take hold of? This is Isaiah 324 00:25:09.720 --> 00:25:13.599 one hundred and fifty years before Cyrus ever was born. 325 00:25:15.160 --> 00:25:19.960 Isaiah had a vision of Cyrus before Cyrus was born. 326 00:25:20.200 --> 00:25:23.599 Isaiah had a vision of Cyrus before the seventy years 327 00:25:23.599 --> 00:25:28.880 of captivity. Eighty years before the captivity started. Isaiah had 328 00:25:29.039 --> 00:25:35.680 a vision of Cyrus, whose right hand I take hold 329 00:25:35.720 --> 00:25:39.599 of the subdue nations before him, and the stripped kings 330 00:25:39.759 --> 00:25:42.720 of their armor to open doors before him so that 331 00:25:42.799 --> 00:25:45.680 gates will not be shut. I will go before him 332 00:25:45.720 --> 00:25:48.400 and level the mountains, and break down the gates of 333 00:25:48.440 --> 00:25:51.680 bronze and cut through bars of iron. I will give 334 00:25:51.720 --> 00:25:55.079 you hidden treasures, riches stored in secret places, so that 335 00:25:55.160 --> 00:26:04.039 you may know that I am the Lord. We are 336 00:26:04.079 --> 00:26:09.319 in for the biggest ride that has been seen thus far. 337 00:26:09.960 --> 00:26:14.880 You're living in the craziest generation that the globe has 338 00:26:15.000 --> 00:26:20.519 seen in generations. I'm talking about you're going to see 339 00:26:20.559 --> 00:26:24.160 in the rear view mirror in another four, five, six, 340 00:26:24.400 --> 00:26:28.720 eight years things that you maybe haven't even dreamed about, 341 00:26:29.039 --> 00:26:36.920 because even your dreams need sanctified. Hello, somebody, but if 342 00:26:36.960 --> 00:26:40.400 you would dream with God, come on, We're gonna shed 343 00:26:40.440 --> 00:26:45.440 all pessimism as we move into this fast. We're gonna 344 00:26:45.480 --> 00:26:49.839 shed this illusionment. We're gonna shed pessimism, We're gonna shed unbelief. 345 00:26:51.079 --> 00:26:53.640 Let's dream with God as we move into this fast. 346 00:26:54.279 --> 00:26:59.519 Let's dream for great things in the nation and then 347 00:26:59.559 --> 00:27:05.839 the nation. Let's believe God to do miraculous things. We 348 00:27:06.039 --> 00:27:12.559 are living in a great outpouring of Holy Spirit. And 349 00:27:12.640 --> 00:27:18.000 the word that Bob Jones saw and gave in nineteen 350 00:27:18.119 --> 00:27:22.839 eighty and then repetitively until he died. He died on 351 00:27:22.960 --> 00:27:30.759 Valentine's Day of twenty fourteen. That word is coming to pass. 352 00:27:32.519 --> 00:27:37.039 That word is coming to pass. Let's stand this morning, 353 00:27:39.960 --> 00:27:44.640 and your prayers are so central, your prayers are so central. 354 00:27:44.680 --> 00:27:51.960 I want to read to you Isaiah sixty two. It's 355 00:27:52.000 --> 00:27:57.559 a little portion of Isaiah's sixty two. If you're unfamiliar, 356 00:27:57.799 --> 00:28:04.960 the Daniel Fast is based on Daniel's pursuit of God 357 00:28:05.480 --> 00:28:10.240 through this vegetarian diet. And this happened with Daniel often. 358 00:28:10.279 --> 00:28:14.000 It happened in chapter one, it happened in chapter nine, 359 00:28:14.079 --> 00:28:17.920 it happened in chapter ten. I think it happened here 360 00:28:17.960 --> 00:28:23.079 and there in between. Right, So Daniel, chapter ten is 361 00:28:23.119 --> 00:28:27.880 actually where he's serving under Cyrus, the same king that 362 00:28:27.920 --> 00:28:34.000 we just read about, And that's where he is in 363 00:28:34.079 --> 00:28:41.039 prayer for twenty one days with this fast, this vegetarian fast, 364 00:28:42.160 --> 00:28:52.759 and God comes through Gabriel and brings him answers. And 365 00:28:52.799 --> 00:28:56.119 I encourage you to read those passages, especially chapter nine, 366 00:28:56.640 --> 00:28:59.480 chapter ten. Maybe start your fast that way. This week, 367 00:28:59.839 --> 00:29:02.359 we've got a couple days before the eighth of the month, 368 00:29:02.400 --> 00:29:05.319 and so we've got time to get our kitchen ready, 369 00:29:06.079 --> 00:29:09.400 get our hearts ready, do a little bit of Bible reading, 370 00:29:09.519 --> 00:29:14.119 kind of prepare ourselves. But I want you to hear 371 00:29:14.200 --> 00:29:18.839 Isaiah sixty two. These are things that Daniel knew. These 372 00:29:18.839 --> 00:29:22.200 are things that the men of old knew so important. 373 00:29:24.799 --> 00:29:30.680 They didn't view God as sovereign insomuch that he would 374 00:29:30.720 --> 00:29:35.119 do things without them. They viewed that his sovereignty was 375 00:29:36.000 --> 00:29:42.480 hinged on their partnership. That his sovereign expression and his 376 00:29:42.640 --> 00:29:47.799 sovereign desire and his heart felt desire for the nation 377 00:29:48.160 --> 00:29:52.680 or the nations was hinged on their partnership. And so 378 00:29:52.799 --> 00:30:01.119 listen even to what God is doing with Zion and 379 00:30:01.240 --> 00:30:08.880 the Zion to come and Jerusalem. It's all moved through 380 00:30:08.880 --> 00:30:12.759 the prayers of the saints Isaiah sixty two, verse one. 381 00:30:13.359 --> 00:30:20.480 For Zion's sake, I will not keep silent. For Jerusalem's sake, 382 00:30:21.200 --> 00:30:25.640 I will not remain quiet until her vindication shines out 383 00:30:25.680 --> 00:30:30.599 like the dawn, her salvation like a blazing torch. The 384 00:30:30.720 --> 00:30:34.680 nations will see your vindication and all the King's your glory, 385 00:30:34.759 --> 00:30:37.680 and you will be called by a new name, that 386 00:30:37.759 --> 00:30:40.680 the mouth of the Lord will be stowed, and you 387 00:30:40.720 --> 00:30:42.920 will be a crown of splendor in the Lord's hand, 388 00:30:43.599 --> 00:30:46.079 a royal diadem in the hand of your God. No 389 00:30:46.160 --> 00:30:50.279 longer will they call you deserted or name your land desolation. 390 00:30:50.759 --> 00:31:00.599 But you will be called Hesbalah, and your land Beulah, beautiful, beautiful, 391 00:31:00.880 --> 00:31:03.799 And the Lord will take delight in you, and your 392 00:31:03.880 --> 00:31:06.720 land will be married as a young man marries a 393 00:31:06.759 --> 00:31:09.079 young virgin. But I want you to see this the 394 00:31:09.119 --> 00:31:13.319 way it starts. For Jerusalem's sake, I will not remain 395 00:31:13.519 --> 00:31:20.599 silent or quiet for Jerusalem's sake. I will not keep 396 00:31:20.640 --> 00:31:24.160 silent for Jerusalem's sake. I will not remain quiet until 397 00:31:24.200 --> 00:31:30.559 her vindication shines out like the dawn it goes on. 398 00:31:30.599 --> 00:31:33.559 You know, there's a part of that. It says you 399 00:31:35.200 --> 00:31:39.279 that understand God's heart, God's desire, and God's will. Give 400 00:31:39.359 --> 00:31:46.519 yourselves no rest, give yourselves no rest until He establishes 401 00:31:46.599 --> 00:31:49.880
