WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.840 --> 00:00:05.719 It's going to be fun. The name of our message 2 00:00:06.679 --> 00:00:14.160 is best Bread ever. Think about being thirteen and how 3 00:00:14.160 --> 00:00:17.960 you talk about things if you're thirteen, best bread ever, 4 00:00:18.320 --> 00:00:22.920 the best, like incredible. That's the message today. And you're 5 00:00:22.960 --> 00:00:29.199 getting me because we want our pastor the incredible preacher teacher. 6 00:00:29.480 --> 00:00:31.600 To be really, really really. 7 00:00:31.480 --> 00:00:35.679 Recharged for our summit. So I'm helping out a little bit. 8 00:00:36.359 --> 00:00:41.320 So before we get started, we're gonna pray, Lord Jesus 9 00:00:42.320 --> 00:00:45.520 have your way. Don't let a word come out of 10 00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:49.840 my mouth that's not yours. I give my tongue to you, 11 00:00:50.479 --> 00:00:53.560 and I say speak what I can't say, and say 12 00:00:53.600 --> 00:01:00.920 what I can't say. Amen. So we're in the middle 13 00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:06.599 of a fast, and I feel like, as there was 14 00:01:06.640 --> 00:01:11.599 some prophetic declaration and talk about Isaiah the fifty eighth 15 00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:15.280 chapter as the fast was getting started and what the 16 00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:21.719 fast would look like. I believe that fasting and prayer 17 00:01:22.159 --> 00:01:27.040 done a certain way is designed to break off the 18 00:01:27.159 --> 00:01:31.519 yoke of the oppressor. Okay, so the demonic realm, the 19 00:01:31.560 --> 00:01:34.040 thing that brings harm to your life and a problem 20 00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:36.680 to you, to break off the yoke of the. 21 00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:39.480 Oppressor, that's the kind of fast we want to have. 22 00:01:39.599 --> 00:01:41.879 That's the kind of prayer that we want to we 23 00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:45.000 want to. 24 00:01:43.640 --> 00:01:45.079 Involve ourselves in. 25 00:01:45.159 --> 00:01:47.879 And so if the Lord says that that's how you're 26 00:01:47.879 --> 00:01:50.599 supposed to pray, then that's how we're going to pray 27 00:01:50.680 --> 00:01:53.359 because we value what he values, because we're in New 28 00:01:53.359 --> 00:01:56.319 Horizon Church and we really think that whatever he has 29 00:01:56.400 --> 00:01:59.159 to say is the most pre eminent and it's the top, 30 00:01:59.439 --> 00:02:02.760 and we're in that and we're following that. Okay, we 31 00:02:02.840 --> 00:02:05.799 think that's the highest, and so we want to ascribe 32 00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:14.199 to the highest. Okay, if he says that we can 33 00:02:14.319 --> 00:02:19.080 pull heaven down and bring it to earth and this 34 00:02:19.240 --> 00:02:21.599 is how to do it, then I want to figure out, well, 35 00:02:21.599 --> 00:02:24.800 how do we do that? And he says it, that's 36 00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:25.400 where we're going. 37 00:02:26.960 --> 00:02:29.879 So I really thought so last week Pastor. 38 00:02:29.680 --> 00:02:32.840 Dwayne did an awesome job. He brought up Pastor Joel 39 00:02:33.199 --> 00:02:36.879 and he gave an exemp an example, if you will, 40 00:02:37.360 --> 00:02:40.719 of what it is to communicate with God, interact with God. 41 00:02:42.199 --> 00:02:44.759 And one of the things that I really liked is 42 00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:49.199 that one it was extremely personable. Okay, it was intimate, 43 00:02:49.840 --> 00:02:54.039 but number two, he was talking about Hallowed be your name, 44 00:02:54.639 --> 00:02:59.199 like that God is, he's to be revered, He's beautiful, 45 00:02:59.479 --> 00:03:03.199 he's majoric, he's the highest, He's worthy of all praise, 46 00:03:03.520 --> 00:03:06.360 so that we would come into our prayer with first 47 00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:10.360 that being our heart posture that like, he's so worthy 48 00:03:10.520 --> 00:03:14.319 that we have a humility and humbleness to us in 49 00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:17.280 how we approach him. And I think that I think 50 00:03:17.319 --> 00:03:23.120 that sometimes in charismatic churches, I think we could learn 51 00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:27.960 a thing or two if we look at other denominations. 52 00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:31.159 What do I mean if you look at the liturgical branches, 53 00:03:31.240 --> 00:03:35.919 Let's say some of the liturgical branches, like Catholicism, they 54 00:03:36.120 --> 00:03:41.280 have a like they really believe his name is hallowed, 55 00:03:42.639 --> 00:03:45.199 Like they have a reverence for God. There's like a 56 00:03:45.240 --> 00:03:48.280 God's powerful and he's holy, and we need to we 57 00:03:48.319 --> 00:03:51.360 need to approach him from that light if you take 58 00:03:51.400 --> 00:03:54.560 it too far, And I like that because he is. 59 00:03:54.719 --> 00:03:56.639 And if you look back through the New Testament, we 60 00:03:56.680 --> 00:04:00.280 can see like antoniasis firr God like he'll take people 61 00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:04.039 out just for disrespecting him. So like we need to 62 00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:09.639 approach him from that hallowed be your name perspective. And however, 63 00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:12.919 what I really appreciated about what he shared was that 64 00:04:13.199 --> 00:04:15.879 we don't need to be afraid to approach him. He 65 00:04:16.040 --> 00:04:21.160 actually says he loves you. He actually says he wants 66 00:04:21.199 --> 00:04:24.720 to be so intimate with you that he's not the distant, 67 00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:27.959 sovereign God. And he doesn't just do everything he's going 68 00:04:28.040 --> 00:04:29.560 to do because he says he's going to do it. 69 00:04:29.879 --> 00:04:33.920 He actually will listen to our prayers to change things. 70 00:04:34.079 --> 00:04:38.439 He'll actually listen to the plead of a man and 71 00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:43.240 even stave off judgment to a people group. Lot right, Abraham, 72 00:04:44.439 --> 00:04:48.240 God actually doesn't just do everything he wants to do 73 00:04:48.279 --> 00:04:51.720 whenever he wants to do it. He actually partners with humans. 74 00:04:52.040 --> 00:04:56.519 And so he's got this incredible relationship with humanity where 75 00:04:56.519 --> 00:04:59.399 he says, oh my gosh, I love you so much Junior, 76 00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:02.120 that I want to be intimate with you, and you 77 00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:05.120 can say anything to me, you can share anything with me. 78 00:05:05.439 --> 00:05:06.560 Nothing's off limits. 79 00:05:06.680 --> 00:05:11.519 Let's get tight. So that's the perspective understanding that it's 80 00:05:11.600 --> 00:05:14.519 under the ground of hallowed be thy name. Okay, so 81 00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:17.600 we're starting off with hallowing his name. Then we're approaching 82 00:05:17.680 --> 00:05:22.519 him and if we hop into Matthew six nine through twelve, 83 00:05:26.079 --> 00:05:32.160 six nine through twelve, this then is how you should 84 00:05:32.199 --> 00:05:35.360 pray our Father, Hallowed be your name, your kingdom, come 85 00:05:35.639 --> 00:05:38.240 your will, be done on earth as it is in Heaven. 86 00:05:38.600 --> 00:05:42.240 Give us today our daily bread, and forgive us our debts, 87 00:05:42.279 --> 00:05:45.879 as we have also forgiven our debtors. I'm going to 88 00:05:45.920 --> 00:05:48.120 give you a few scriptures right now. Let's go to 89 00:05:48.360 --> 00:05:54.759 Matthew four four. Jesus answered, it is written, man shall 90 00:05:54.800 --> 00:05:59.360 not live on bread alone, by every word that precedes 91 00:05:59.439 --> 00:06:01.480 or comes out of the mouth of God. 92 00:06:02.759 --> 00:06:03.480 Why am I going to. 93 00:06:03.519 --> 00:06:07.000 Give you three or four scriptures? Because I'm building. I'm 94 00:06:07.000 --> 00:06:09.720 building something to that we can work with. I'm giving 95 00:06:09.759 --> 00:06:14.240 you a foundation. Let's go to Juteronomy eight three. Now, 96 00:06:14.279 --> 00:06:19.160 this is even old Testament. Okay, he humbled you, causing 97 00:06:19.199 --> 00:06:23.160 you to hunger, and then feeding you with manna, which 98 00:06:23.240 --> 00:06:27.879 neither you your nor ancestors had known to teach you 99 00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:31.160 that man does not live on bread alone, but on 100 00:06:31.439 --> 00:06:35.920 every word that comes from the mouth of God. You're 101 00:06:35.920 --> 00:06:40.040 seeing this Old Testament, you're seeing this New Testament. It's everywhere. Well, 102 00:06:40.079 --> 00:06:45.199 why is this? Because if you've got kids and they're 103 00:06:45.279 --> 00:06:48.360 beloved to you, you want to be intimate with them. 104 00:06:49.439 --> 00:06:55.120 You want to be intimate with them. One of the 105 00:06:55.240 --> 00:06:59.079 dangers of this passage of scripture is that so many 106 00:06:59.120 --> 00:07:02.920 people may have recited it or memorized it in their church, 107 00:07:03.759 --> 00:07:07.839 a growth or development where they actually like somebody could 108 00:07:07.839 --> 00:07:09.600 start it and they could just finish it really easily, 109 00:07:11.920 --> 00:07:17.720 and that's wonderful. However, if we only ascend to a 110 00:07:18.480 --> 00:07:23.279 head knowledge of a scripture but it doesn't actually get 111 00:07:23.319 --> 00:07:27.360 like super deep down in our heart, then what happens 112 00:07:27.480 --> 00:07:32.079 is we could actually only experience that scripture and what 113 00:07:32.160 --> 00:07:35.360 it has for us on the surface of it, rather 114 00:07:35.480 --> 00:07:41.800 than it being experiential and transformative. If the Word of 115 00:07:41.839 --> 00:07:46.000 God is living and sharp, it's it can change anything. 116 00:07:46.040 --> 00:07:50.680 It's transformative. Correct, So we have to be careful when 117 00:07:50.680 --> 00:07:52.959 we're looking at the Lord's prayer to not have this 118 00:07:53.000 --> 00:07:56.720 thing become some just like rote thing that loses its 119 00:07:56.839 --> 00:08:00.480 power and loses its significance only because of how we're 120 00:08:00.519 --> 00:08:04.639 interacting with it. Does that make sense like that it 121 00:08:04.639 --> 00:08:07.160 wouldn't be giving the value it's designed to give because 122 00:08:07.199 --> 00:08:08.920 how we perceive it, and if we don't have a 123 00:08:08.959 --> 00:08:13.240 hallow be thy name, we might not perceive it that way. 124 00:08:14.079 --> 00:08:17.040 So I want you to listen to the scripture. This 125 00:08:17.120 --> 00:08:21.240 is a Psalm one one wow, actually it's one through three. 126 00:08:21.639 --> 00:08:24.519 Blessed is the one who does not walk in step 127 00:08:24.600 --> 00:08:27.639 with the wicked, or stand in the way that sinners take, 128 00:08:28.399 --> 00:08:32.120 or sit in the company of mockers. But whose delight 129 00:08:32.320 --> 00:08:35.960 is in the law of the Lord, who meditates on 130 00:08:36.080 --> 00:08:39.919 this law day and night. That person is like a 131 00:08:39.960 --> 00:08:43.720 tree planted by streams of living water that yields its 132 00:08:43.759 --> 00:08:48.960 fruit and dew season. Its leaf does not wither. Whatever 133 00:08:49.360 --> 00:08:54.360 they do prospers. Whatever they do prospers. You'll notice in 134 00:08:54.360 --> 00:08:56.360 the middle of this verse you're going to see he 135 00:08:56.440 --> 00:08:59.200 who meditates on his word day and night. And then 136 00:08:59.240 --> 00:09:02.279 it's a scribe certain things that are appropriate to that 137 00:09:02.320 --> 00:09:04.879 person who's meditating on it day and night. It says 138 00:09:04.919 --> 00:09:08.240 that you'll be like a stream by living water, and 139 00:09:08.279 --> 00:09:11.200 it says that your leaf will not wither. 140 00:09:11.279 --> 00:09:12.240 It'll be green and. 141 00:09:12.240 --> 00:09:15.360 Full, and it'll produce whatever it needs to in the 142 00:09:15.399 --> 00:09:24.440 season it needs to produce it. Okay, we can only 143 00:09:24.559 --> 00:09:31.919 produce fruit if we're abiding in the shelter. In John 144 00:09:32.039 --> 00:09:34.200 fifteen to five, that's not up there. Don't worry about 145 00:09:34.200 --> 00:09:38.039 putting it up. But in John fifteen five he says 146 00:09:38.120 --> 00:09:42.279 that he's the vine, we're the branches that if we 147 00:09:42.320 --> 00:09:46.399 abide in him and he abides in us, that basically 148 00:09:46.679 --> 00:09:49.279 we can produce much fruit, and it says if we 149 00:09:49.360 --> 00:09:54.320 don't do that, it doesn't produce anything. We produce literally nothing, 150 00:09:54.399 --> 00:09:59.600 it's worthless. So this connection, this communion that's abiding, this 151 00:09:59.799 --> 00:10:03.240 in tomacy with the King is the only way to 152 00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:08.679 actually have the kingdom come through the reformers. If New 153 00:10:08.720 --> 00:10:12.519 Horizon is a group of reformers, the reformers bring the kingdom. 154 00:10:12.600 --> 00:10:14.679 But unless we have the King, we can't bring the kingdom. 155 00:10:16.120 --> 00:10:21.080 So this abiding, this being knit to him, this connection 156 00:10:21.240 --> 00:10:27.120 with him, is absolutely essential if we want to see 157 00:10:27.159 --> 00:10:30.720 Heaven come to earth, if we want to see His 158 00:10:30.840 --> 00:10:32.879 will be done on earth as it is in heaven, 159 00:10:33.480 --> 00:10:34.120 it has. 160 00:10:34.000 --> 00:10:35.320 To occur that way. 161 00:10:36.120 --> 00:10:36.480 And so. 162 00:10:38.000 --> 00:10:41.360 I want to tell you a little story. 163 00:10:41.960 --> 00:10:46.879 When I was twenty three, I got radically transformed, and 164 00:10:46.960 --> 00:10:53.000 I grew up in a family or perspective that I 165 00:10:53.120 --> 00:10:56.840 had no biblical training zero. When I got saved, I 166 00:10:56.919 --> 00:10:59.919 did not know the word Sadducee, Pharisee. I did not 167 00:11:00.080 --> 00:11:03.080 know what a gentile was. Those are like really a gentile, 168 00:11:03.159 --> 00:11:04.240 Like that's like super basic. 169 00:11:04.799 --> 00:11:05.919 I did not know what that was. 170 00:11:06.399 --> 00:11:09.440 And so God did something in my heart when I 171 00:11:09.440 --> 00:11:16.039 got saved where I realized boy, I'm on the wrong 172 00:11:16.120 --> 00:11:20.720 page on everything, Like literally every viewpoint I have, it's 173 00:11:20.759 --> 00:11:23.399 on the wrong page, because that's just the situation I 174 00:11:23.480 --> 00:11:27.200 grew up in. And it made me realize, Wow, if 175 00:11:27.240 --> 00:11:29.679 his ways are higher, I need to change my ways 176 00:11:29.679 --> 00:11:32.480 and they need to become his ways. And so he 177 00:11:32.519 --> 00:11:34.759 did this thing in me where he gave me like 178 00:11:34.840 --> 00:11:37.720 the severe hunger for the word, where all of a sudden, 179 00:11:37.720 --> 00:11:40.919 after I got saved, I was like eating it and 180 00:11:40.960 --> 00:11:43.639 meditating on it day and night, like all the time, 181 00:11:43.720 --> 00:11:46.200 like I was just saturating myself in it. 182 00:11:46.519 --> 00:11:49.039 Only because I'm like, I'm screwed up. 183 00:11:49.600 --> 00:11:51.639 My world views are all screwed up, and I need 184 00:11:51.679 --> 00:11:54.519 to figure out what the King's perspectives are. And so 185 00:11:54.679 --> 00:11:58.000 as I began to align myself with him, what ended 186 00:11:58.080 --> 00:12:01.759 up happening is that I I got this understanding of 187 00:12:01.799 --> 00:12:06.039 how critical it was to get my daily bread, that 188 00:12:06.120 --> 00:12:08.519 I need my daily bread, and if I don't get 189 00:12:08.519 --> 00:12:13.360 my daily bread, I'm actually not capable of producing anything 190 00:12:13.639 --> 00:12:21.720 of any value or any fruit. Early in my walk, 191 00:12:21.879 --> 00:12:24.799 I had this like pretty like I'm like on fire 192 00:12:24.840 --> 00:12:28.360 for the Lord. And I went from just depravity to 193 00:12:28.600 --> 00:12:31.879 something else in a very short period of time. And 194 00:12:31.919 --> 00:12:37.159 when this happened, I just was so saturated in the 195 00:12:37.200 --> 00:12:42.759 Word that things were going easily for me. However, sometimes 196 00:12:42.799 --> 00:12:45.960 what can happen in our Christian walk is that we 197 00:12:46.000 --> 00:12:48.960 walk with God and He starts giving you directives, and 198 00:12:49.000 --> 00:12:51.080 he starts giving you a vision, and he starts giving 199 00:12:51.080 --> 00:12:53.399 you a plan, and he starts orchestrating your life and 200 00:12:53.440 --> 00:12:56.039 satisfying the desires of your heart. And next thing, you know, 201 00:12:56.200 --> 00:12:57.799 you're a parent, and you're married and. 202 00:12:58.600 --> 00:12:59.559 All these good things. 203 00:13:00.360 --> 00:13:04.360 It's good to be a husband, Zach right, it's good 204 00:13:04.399 --> 00:13:07.639 to be a father, it's it's it's He can give 205 00:13:07.679 --> 00:13:10.720 you life mission, and you're out fulfilling the life mission. 206 00:13:12.000 --> 00:13:14.799 And in the midst of doing all of this, we 207 00:13:14.879 --> 00:13:19.080 do a lot of doing, and if we're not careful, careful, 208 00:13:19.159 --> 00:13:24.480 we can start doing of our own will without the King. 209 00:13:26.039 --> 00:13:31.320 And every Christian will go through these seasons of He's 210 00:13:31.000 --> 00:13:33.919 He's the most intimate thing ever. We feel Him on 211 00:13:34.080 --> 00:13:36.200 us and in us and speaking through it like we 212 00:13:36.240 --> 00:13:37.840 hear He visits us in the car and we just 213 00:13:37.879 --> 00:13:44.519 weep and cry. Anybody in here experience that that that's 214 00:13:44.559 --> 00:13:48.600 where we want to stay. What happens, though, is we 215 00:13:48.600 --> 00:13:52.120 can get caught up in the doing for him, and 216 00:13:52.159 --> 00:13:55.080 as we do the doing for him, we can actually 217 00:13:55.159 --> 00:13:59.039 forget that he's the doer, and we can start to 218 00:13:59.039 --> 00:13:59.759 do it without him. 219 00:14:01.639 --> 00:14:03.159 And so I'm gonna tell you a brief story. 220 00:14:03.240 --> 00:14:07.320 So there's the I'm there's this morning, I'm up, it's early, 221 00:14:07.639 --> 00:14:09.960 I'm I'm reading my Bible. 222 00:14:10.120 --> 00:14:11.879 The Lord puts. 223 00:14:11.759 --> 00:14:15.080 Somebody, a picture of somebody in my face. The picture 224 00:14:15.120 --> 00:14:18.879 happens to be a patient of mine. Then the Lord 225 00:14:18.960 --> 00:14:21.879 flashes the scripture in front of my face, and so 226 00:14:21.919 --> 00:14:24.639 I go and look up that scripture. And what happens 227 00:14:25.039 --> 00:14:28.320 is later in that week, that person comes into my office. 228 00:14:29.600 --> 00:14:32.360 I'm sitting here and I'm measuring this person, just doing 229 00:14:32.399 --> 00:14:33.080 the thing I'm doing. 230 00:14:33.399 --> 00:14:34.519 And I say to them, I. 231 00:14:34.480 --> 00:14:37.759 Say, you know, this week, the Lord put you in 232 00:14:37.840 --> 00:14:40.799 my mind and he gave me what I think is 233 00:14:40.799 --> 00:14:42.679 a scripture for you. Would you mind if I shared 234 00:14:42.720 --> 00:14:43.240 that with you? 235 00:14:44.120 --> 00:14:45.639 So it's this. 236 00:14:46.159 --> 00:14:48.200 It's the guy that's in front of me is a 237 00:14:48.240 --> 00:14:54.600 big man like big guy, and he says sure, and 238 00:14:56.080 --> 00:15:00.440 I share with him the passage of scripture. And this guy, 239 00:15:00.679 --> 00:15:04.679 this really big, kind of like not emotional guy, starts 240 00:15:04.679 --> 00:15:09.799 weeping violently and goes to the floor by what I 241 00:15:09.840 --> 00:15:15.240 shared with him. Well, the man was a pastor of 242 00:15:15.279 --> 00:15:18.039 a church who was not functioning as a pastor. And 243 00:15:18.080 --> 00:15:24.279 the man so, without getting into that story too far, 244 00:15:25.960 --> 00:15:29.360 the Lord used that scripture that he illuminated to me 245 00:15:29.440 --> 00:15:34.080 that morning to start this man's ministry. The man was 246 00:15:34.159 --> 00:15:39.120 called out according to that scripture, he's not functioning as 247 00:15:39.159 --> 00:15:41.519 a pastor in that day and age. And that was 248 00:15:41.519 --> 00:15:43.440 the scripture that the Lord gave me to share him. 249 00:15:43.519 --> 00:15:46.080 I had no idea, and he just like lost it. 250 00:15:47.480 --> 00:15:50.480 He lost it and that he's like, So he's bawling, 251 00:15:50.519 --> 00:15:52.279 and I'm like, are you okay? And he says to me, 252 00:15:52.639 --> 00:15:55.679 he's like, that's the scripture that was prophesied over me 253 00:15:55.759 --> 00:15:58.600 back in such and such year and started my ministry 254 00:15:59.080 --> 00:16:04.120 and he's not a pastor or currently. It shifted something 255 00:16:04.200 --> 00:16:06.879 for him, Something happened different for him. 256 00:16:07.080 --> 00:16:08.120 And what I'm going to tell you. 257 00:16:08.240 --> 00:16:10.840 Is that we can go through seasons where we have 258 00:16:11.000 --> 00:16:14.600 the right word in season and we have an instructed tongue. 259 00:16:14.960 --> 00:16:18.679 But what can happen is that's all dependent upon our 260 00:16:18.759 --> 00:16:21.519 abiding in the shelter of the most High in the communing. 261 00:16:21.879 --> 00:16:23.840 And I think that if I had not been in 262 00:16:23.879 --> 00:16:27.080 a position where I had put myself that morning in 263 00:16:27.159 --> 00:16:32.159 the word praying that I probably would not have received 264 00:16:32.240 --> 00:16:35.200 or even have known that that was something he needed. 265 00:16:36.240 --> 00:16:37.799 Do you see how important it is for us to 266 00:16:37.840 --> 00:16:41.279 get our daily bread? Like we need our daily bread, 267 00:16:41.759 --> 00:16:42.679 we have to have it. 268 00:16:45.840 --> 00:16:46.360 Listen to this. 269 00:16:46.399 --> 00:16:48.320 I believe this is a prophetic word for this house. 270 00:16:48.960 --> 00:16:53.919 Without the consumption of daily bread, it diminishes our capacity 271 00:16:54.519 --> 00:17:00.799 to yield fruit in the right or appropriate season. Every 272 00:17:00.879 --> 00:17:02.960 season is going to be different from you for you, 273 00:17:03.840 --> 00:17:05.599 but you can't even yield the right fruit in the 274 00:17:05.640 --> 00:17:09.119 right season if you don't have the mana for that day. 275 00:17:10.359 --> 00:17:12.839 You need that manna or otherwise the season may never 276 00:17:12.880 --> 00:17:13.759 even come to pass. 277 00:17:16.400 --> 00:17:18.160 Listen to this. The Lord gave me this equation. 278 00:17:18.720 --> 00:17:23.640 He said, minimal abiding equals minimal fruit equals minimal impact. 279 00:17:25.359 --> 00:17:30.119 Minimal abiding equals minimal fruit equals minimal impact. Not so 280 00:17:30.319 --> 00:17:33.000 for the people of New Horizon Church, not so for 281 00:17:33.039 --> 00:17:34.079 the body of Christ. 282 00:17:34.359 --> 00:17:35.920 I believe that the Lord. 283 00:17:35.720 --> 00:17:40.319 Is trying to say, my reformers know my will, they 284 00:17:40.400 --> 00:17:46.599 know how to operate in intimacy with me. I believe 285 00:17:46.599 --> 00:17:49.480 that this section of the Lord's prayer is so significant 286 00:17:50.279 --> 00:17:57.200 because it's the most volitional part on our end. Volitional 287 00:17:57.279 --> 00:17:59.759 meaning I could do it or I could not do it, 288 00:18:00.559 --> 00:18:03.359 And he ain't gonna make me. He's not gonna force me. 289 00:18:06.119 --> 00:18:08.400 He's not gonna make me do anything. He's a gentleman. 290 00:18:09.200 --> 00:18:10.759 But he's inviting us in. 291 00:18:11.440 --> 00:18:16.599 He loves us. Do you know that when God. 292 00:18:16.400 --> 00:18:20.279 Touches our heart in a crazy powerful way, it almost 293 00:18:20.319 --> 00:18:27.279 always comes in an intimate moment most of the severe, 294 00:18:27.599 --> 00:18:32.400 like those times when he comes and visits you and. 295 00:18:33.839 --> 00:18:35.839 You're just not ever the same after. 296 00:18:36.160 --> 00:18:40.319 It almost always comes in that section of time. It's 297 00:18:40.359 --> 00:18:45.079 in that intimate moment, It's in the intimacy. And so 298 00:18:45.200 --> 00:18:50.079 he's inviting us into this beautiful intimacy. 299 00:18:50.720 --> 00:18:53.799 But it's our choice. 300 00:18:54.480 --> 00:18:58.799 Listen to this. Your life is an extension of your 301 00:18:58.839 --> 00:19:03.799 bread eating. Your life is an extension of your bread eating. 302 00:19:07.480 --> 00:19:15.680 Can I have that first picture put up? Okay? If 303 00:19:15.720 --> 00:19:18.440 you have a battle coming up, if there's a war 304 00:19:18.559 --> 00:19:22.039 to win a battle, if things are getting really hot, 305 00:19:22.160 --> 00:19:26.240 serious and you need a miracle, is this the. 306 00:19:29.000 --> 00:19:37.680 Warrior that you're gonna text you got a race to run? 307 00:19:37.720 --> 00:19:37.960 Even? 308 00:19:38.720 --> 00:19:43.599 Can I have the next picture? Or might you called 309 00:19:43.680 --> 00:19:53.160 Dwayne Wolf and he's got his fatigues on, he's boff. 310 00:19:54.279 --> 00:20:00.039 He's ready to take the devil out. So the the 311 00:20:00.039 --> 00:20:04.079 Lord said to me, he said, much of the church 312 00:20:05.039 --> 00:20:12.599 is spiritually emaciated. Do you know what emaciation means? Have 313 00:20:12.599 --> 00:20:15.000 you ever seen a person that's so hungry there's hardly 314 00:20:15.000 --> 00:20:18.480 anything left of them? I was gonna put up pictures 315 00:20:18.480 --> 00:20:21.319 of emaciated people, but it's disturbing, so I didn't want 316 00:20:21.319 --> 00:20:23.279 to do that. I just picked a really weak looking guy. 317 00:20:24.559 --> 00:20:32.759 So the only way we're going to be able to 318 00:20:33.000 --> 00:20:36.880 wage the war, fight the battles is if the army 319 00:20:37.240 --> 00:20:41.200 is not emaciated. And if the army is not getting 320 00:20:41.240 --> 00:20:44.319 its bread every single day, then the army is going 321 00:20:44.359 --> 00:20:52.519 to be weak. My wife used to run marathons, and 322 00:20:52.640 --> 00:20:55.319 I was with her when she was running the Chicago Marathon. 323 00:20:55.640 --> 00:20:59.680 She did well, and so she qualified for the Boston Marathon. 324 00:21:00.480 --> 00:21:04.799 While she was running the Boston Marathon. She's little, but 325 00:21:04.839 --> 00:21:10.240 she's really tough, and she's small, very small, but kind 326 00:21:10.240 --> 00:21:14.880 of buff, and so she basically was like, hey, will 327 00:21:14.880 --> 00:21:17.119 you train with me? So I'm running a lot at 328 00:21:17.119 --> 00:21:20.839 that time. I'm running with her frequently. And one of 329 00:21:20.880 --> 00:21:23.920 the things that I found is when you run long distances. 330 00:21:24.319 --> 00:21:27.039 There's this pain that you initially have in the first 331 00:21:27.240 --> 00:21:29.960 mile to three or four or whatever, and then there's 332 00:21:30.000 --> 00:21:32.240 this point that you can get to where you just 333 00:21:32.359 --> 00:21:36.000 like it all goes away and you get into a groove. 334 00:21:36.240 --> 00:21:39.279 You get into a place there's like an ease to 335 00:21:39.319 --> 00:21:43.279 it where all of a sudden, then ten, twelve, fifteen 336 00:21:43.279 --> 00:21:45.440 miles can go by and those ones aren't hard. 337 00:21:45.960 --> 00:21:48.480 It was the first one or two or three. 338 00:21:49.079 --> 00:21:52.240 Those of you who've done something like a physical competition, 339 00:21:52.599 --> 00:21:55.079 this is how they work. There's this point where you 340 00:21:55.119 --> 00:21:59.640 push through and you get in your zone. Okay, the 341 00:21:59.759 --> 00:22:04.880 zone in Christianity is getting your manna every day. The 342 00:22:05.000 --> 00:22:08.400 zone in Christianity is eating your bread every day. If 343 00:22:08.400 --> 00:22:11.039 you ain't getting your bread every day, you are not 344 00:22:11.200 --> 00:22:13.319 going to be able to run that marathon. You're not 345 00:22:13.359 --> 00:22:14.960 going to be able to run that race. You're not 346 00:22:15.000 --> 00:22:17.279 going to be able to bring that victory. You will 347 00:22:17.279 --> 00:22:21.440 not have it because you are not rightfully equipped and trained, 348 00:22:21.559 --> 00:22:27.640 because you didn't get your food you need for the day. Spiritually, 349 00:22:27.839 --> 00:22:30.839 I believe this is a prophetic word for this house. Spiritually, 350 00:22:31.200 --> 00:22:33.599 we need to have this groove life. We need to 351 00:22:33.640 --> 00:22:38.400 have this anointing. I'm using the word groove because you 352 00:22:38.559 --> 00:22:41.440 people can like they make belts and whatever, but people 353 00:22:41.480 --> 00:22:44.200 know what that is. What I'm talking about is there's 354 00:22:44.240 --> 00:22:47.160 a place in God. There's an intimacy in him, there's 355 00:22:47.160 --> 00:22:49.960 an anointing in him where if you stay in that gear, 356 00:22:51.279 --> 00:22:54.559 I'm telling you you can get ten times more done 357 00:22:54.559 --> 00:22:58.319 than anybody else, and it'll be easy. You'll have a 358 00:22:58.519 --> 00:23:00.720 grace on whatever you put your hand to. 359 00:23:00.920 --> 00:23:02.839 But we got to stick in that gear. 360 00:23:03.160 --> 00:23:10.400 That gear is tied to this getting our bread. Listen 361 00:23:10.400 --> 00:23:14.720 to this. This is Malachi four two. But for you 362 00:23:14.759 --> 00:23:18.480 who revere my name, the Sun of righteousness will rise 363 00:23:18.599 --> 00:23:21.839 with healing in its rays, and you will go out 364 00:23:21.880 --> 00:23:27.880 and frolic like well fed calves. The Son of Righteousness 365 00:23:27.960 --> 00:23:32.480 is all over you with healing, and you're stepping out 366 00:23:32.480 --> 00:23:36.759 of your stall like a well fed calf. That's the anointing, 367 00:23:36.839 --> 00:23:42.799 that's the groove, that's the intimacy. Isaiah fifty eight to eleven. 368 00:23:45.920 --> 00:23:48.759 The Lord will guide you always. He will satisfy your 369 00:23:48.839 --> 00:23:52.119 needs in a sun scorched land, and will strengthen your frame. 370 00:23:52.359 --> 00:23:55.400 You will be like well a well watered garden, like 371 00:23:55.480 --> 00:24:01.279 a spring whose waters never fail. Your frame strengthened. You're 372 00:24:01.319 --> 00:24:06.039 a well watered garden. Are you getting where I'm going 373 00:24:06.079 --> 00:24:09.640 with this? There's a sustenance in the Lord that he brings, 374 00:24:09.839 --> 00:24:12.319 and he brings it through the bread daily, which is 375 00:24:12.359 --> 00:24:13.160 the Lord's prayer. 376 00:24:13.440 --> 00:24:14.720 And if we just come at. 377 00:24:14.599 --> 00:24:19.720 It from a head knowledge perspective, we may be missing 378 00:24:20.119 --> 00:24:27.839 the treasure in it. God's This is a word, God's 379 00:24:27.880 --> 00:24:33.279 prophetic declarations over and through you, hinge on your hiding 380 00:24:33.440 --> 00:24:39.279 and abiding time in Him, His prophetic declarations over you 381 00:24:39.759 --> 00:24:47.720 and through you, hinge on your hiding and abiding in Him. 382 00:24:47.920 --> 00:24:49.279 Joe preached on this the other. 383 00:24:49.200 --> 00:24:56.319 Day, But yesterday's manna it won't work for today. It's 384 00:24:56.359 --> 00:24:59.400 going to get stinky, smelly and rotten. Do you know 385 00:24:59.480 --> 00:25:02.279 you can't eat the other day's mana, except the only 386 00:25:02.359 --> 00:25:03.759 day you can eat the man is on the day 387 00:25:03.759 --> 00:25:06.480 it came. It's the same thing with the word. It's 388 00:25:06.519 --> 00:25:09.000 the same thing with our Bible study time. It's the 389 00:25:09.039 --> 00:25:11.759 same thing with prayer. It's the same thing with our 390 00:25:11.759 --> 00:25:15.400 worship time. You have to have it daily otherwise you 391 00:25:15.440 --> 00:25:21.160 can bear no good thing. And yesterday's won't do for today. 392 00:25:21.359 --> 00:25:23.519 Even if you had three days last week where you're. 393 00:25:23.319 --> 00:25:24.480 Like, oh, the Lord was on fire. 394 00:25:24.559 --> 00:25:28.720 He touched me, what about today? Yesterday's Mana isn't good 395 00:25:28.799 --> 00:25:37.680 enough for today. I believe that. I believe that New 396 00:25:37.720 --> 00:25:41.960 Horizon Church is a church where everybody is going to 397 00:25:42.000 --> 00:25:46.119 be communing so well with the King and receiving daily 398 00:25:46.240 --> 00:25:50.640 revelation and manna that we're going to bring the Kingdom 399 00:25:50.759 --> 00:25:56.359 come to Heaven, from heaven to earth because of how 400 00:25:56.400 --> 00:26:01.119 we function in our daily walk with mana, your daily refreshment. 401 00:26:01.559 --> 00:26:03.839
