A New Day, A New Way - Ps Katherine Ruonala - 2nd October

giving you a fresh revelation a revelation of him during worship tonight put your hand up high let me see your hand isn't that amazing thank you jesus dear thank you jesus i actually just want one or two i want you to come and i want i'm going to just ask josh why don't you come i'll give me a wave again come on rob i want you to come and i want you as we just continue to focus on him i want you to hear how the holy spirit is revealing himself because i believe he wants to provoke you into a fresh place of worship so come on up can we just give him a micro come on wrong whoa thank you jesus thanks catherine is that working yeah thanks for the opportunity i was hoping you'd call me uh look look i i just i can just feel it i know there's a call for every person in this room from catherine to the first two if you would like the first time you've ever been here there's a call for everyone to go higher there's a call for hire and i got led to this passage it says for what great nation is there that has a god so near to it as the lord our god is to us whenever we call upon him and that's us we're the nation and there are so many of us myself included that we uh we look at whatever our mountain is and we think that's our lot you know it might be i was born that way it's my personality generational curse or whatever there's a call for hire and i felt the lord say is is what you're going through right now my best for you if it's not my best for you then there's a call for hire we need to stand we need to stand and declare we need to if you're one of those people that that do things all by yourself you need to partner with someone and stand and declare if you're someone who's been asking someone to pray for you for years and years and years you need to stand you need to stand you don't need that person necessarily you need to take your own stand there's a call for hire and i've just i've felt it so strongly so thank you so good hallelujah come on josh you know i just i want you to hear how how people are engaging with god and how god is revealing himself and provoking us to fresh levels of worship thanks for being a good spot and being put on the spot but tell us a little bit what was happening for you in worship yeah um during worship i felt the lord like speaking to me further about what he's been he's sort of been putting a lot of things on my heart this week um but during worship i heard like the the phrase like i've atoned for it um yeah this week he's just been teaching me a lot about how like he bore our sicknesses and he bore our diseases um all in his atonement um and tonight yeah i feel like he was just showing me like he has a tone for our complete wholeness um in all aspects yeah and i also just actually felt while i was down there that there's going to be people tonight who actually get healed in their bodies because he's already paid for it um yeah hey well why don't you just begin to pray that right now you know i i really i really resonate with what josh was just saying that i think particularly in in two areas i felt that there's some people here that that you've been dealing with you know this sounds strange but if you know the story of macbeth and the the the woman who had committed murder she was always saying out damn spots she couldn't get she couldn't get rid of the guilt and i believe there's some people here that you've been no matter how much you know what god is saying you know you've been atoned for you know he's forgiven you yet your heart is just still being condemning you and you just feel like that that's that one thing that if only that i hadn't done that in my life then i could be free but it's as though the enemies held you in bondage i believe tonight there is deliverance for you hallelujah so we're going to pray to stay here for a minute josh but we're going to pray right now and i want you to lift your hands because i believe the holy spirit's just going to release it whoa a deliverance for you because there's been a a a devil that has been long lying to you that has been trying to keep you in bondage that's been trying to say everything but that that that stained you you can't get rid of that stain but hallelujah father in the name of jesus we declare there is a tournament for that there is a torment for that god has come through and he has swept the temple plain god has a tone even for that light now in the name of jesus i declare deliverance freedom for the captives in the name of jesus christ be free father thank you for it in jesus name thank you papa hey let's just i want you just to begin to pray on the lines of the healing because i feel it the holy spirit is here right now to do exactly that he has a tone hallelujah so just praise you feel ledges thank you father yes yeah thank you father that you have atoned you've already covered you've already taken the stripes jesus you've already taken the stripes upon your body for healing to happen and we just thank you for that father we thank you that you've atoned for it yes thank you father for what you have already done on the cross lord jesus we thank you for that yeah so we just command right now all throughout this room any people in here whose bodies just are suffering from sickness or just yeah products of the fall anything in the name of jesus we just speak healing over you and we just speak over you or jesus accomplished already on the cross so we just thank you for that father thank you for your atonement thank you for your healing in people's you know bodies as as we were worshiping i felt the lord lead me to read about jesus coming with the whip into the temple and cleaning out the temple and i really believe even as the whip was given on his back and by his stripes we were healed he used the whip to clean out the temple and i believe the lord is saying that tonight there are people who are going to be delivered of addictions and things that have been long cluttering up the temple you are the temple of the holy ghost and right now by the stripes of jesus you are healed in the name of jesus right now i thank you that your name your word lord your stripes lord by your stripes we are healed we are free now in the name of jesus be free in jesus name hallelujah thank you lord holy holy god they bless you let's just worship him for a moment [Music] [Music] say [Applause] [Music] of his promises [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] you are my [Music] [Music] is [Music] freedom [Music] [Applause] is [Applause] [Music] and let it overflow [Music] thank you jesus thank you father thank you jesus hallelujah thank you jesus hey yes lord yes lord i want you to declare it i am the redeemed of the lord [Music] i am the healed of the lord i am free in jesus name hallelujah i just want to open the temple now that i have some of our house prophets those are recognized prophetic voices in the house if the holy spirit's given you a word you can grab a seat if you want to but let's just hear what the lord is saying i know he was just speaking so powerfully hallelujah come on [Music] thank you jesus i saw that i this bird that's so like a garden bird i couldn't identify exactly what it was but i saw it just swooped down and i just boom just hit the just like bang hit us and its wings spread out and i felt it like grab an insect out of the air i just felt like the lord actually put his wings around us and then he struck the enemy and just plucked him out of the air i feel like there are chains breaking off tonight it's already started it's already here that their chains make up the enemy's gonna get struck by god the holy spirit's come just to bang strike his prey tonight i feel like there's oppression breaking off if you've felt heaviness if you feel depression lift your hand right now thank you father which break it down in the name of jesus break now in the name of jesus all oppression lift right now battlefield of the mind be broken off now in the name of jesus the holy spirit's come to strike right now in the name of jesus freedom freedom freedom in jesus name thank you father thank you [Music] thank you father thank you jesus i got such a sense of the glory and the reverence of god hallelujah as you were worshiping him singing holy holy holy is the lord god almighty but you know as we worship him my heart desire when i come into that place where the glory is starting to be revealed and i don't know about you but my heart starts to see more clearly than ever before and i get i get aware of my deep deep desire to know him more that the cry of my heart begins to flow out god i want to know you i really want to know you people say well you know him already well yes but he is god he is unsearchable which means you never get to the end of discovering who he is and how wonderful he is and he wants to reveal refresh revelation all the time fresh fresh fresh understanding of who he is this knowable god and not allow us to get into a place of going through the motions or like yeah i know about you and i i've had revelation i do know you personally i'm worshiping you where you come to the place where that's not enough i've gotta have more i've gotta have more god i i need to know i know i know you i but i wanna know you more that deep deep desire that deep deep yearning is something that the lord is stirring in our hearts hallelujah it's a holy personal and corporate revival that wants to take you beyond where you are and into an accelerated revelation of where who he is and what he wants to reveal hallelujah anybody else sensing that anybody else tonight been getting that cry in their heart like i got i need more i i need i need to know you more give me away so i can see i'm not going to put you up it's all right it's true everybody's terrified but it's true and you see when you sense that sudden i'll give anything to know you more when you start to get that sense start to stir in you wave at me if you know what i'm talking about [Music] that is an invitation that you need to give yourself to that you say yes lord i want to know you i want to know you more holy spirit yes enlighten the eyes of my understanding in the knowledge of you god i want to know you it makes you want to get get alone with god at home and just worship him and and makes you remember why don't i do this all the time anybody else know what i'm talking about that's the smell of revival that's the smell of revival because it's reviving what has gone to sleep it's reviving that hunger that has just been contained and the holy spirit's wanting to spring that world back up again he's wanting to take you from glory to glory and strength to strength from revelation to revelation and into the other [Music] so i want us i want us just to take just a moment longer where we just come and we worship and we press in just a little deeper let's just linger a little longer and let the holy spirit speak afresh to our hearts i want you to begin to cry out yes god do it in me and if you're there and you're going well i that sounds great but i'm not really feeling it you can say this god i want to want to you know it's the best prayer i love to pray that prayer because even if i'm not feeling the hunger that i feel like i should be feeling i can ask him to make me want to want to and he'll give you the one two and that

do that come and feel free if you want to find some space papa you can stand you can sit you can nail whatever it is but fix your gaze on him as we begin to worship him as we begin to sing as we begin to glorify his name papa we come to worship [Music] foreign [Music] my god [Music] is in your promises my confidence so i will my confidence [Music] your is my confidence [Music] is [Music] you are and all your promises are yesterday amen all your promises are yesterday all your promises all your promises [Music] you know i really sense the holy spirit wanting to bless you you know people the lord wants to do exceedingly abundantly above all you can ask hope or imagined but i believe that he wants you to stretch out your tent pegs and intentionally enlarge your expectation because there's been a limitation that you've been operating under that has said oh oh i don't know that i could stretch my expectations that far but the holy spirit is here tonight to blow open the tent and to cause you to stretch wide and enlarge the place of your territory god wants to breathe on your heart to believe for the exceeding abundantly above everything you've asked her to imagine you've dreamt about this for a long time these things but god wants you to start to taste it to see it to experience it in this new day and in this new season so father we say yes we stretch out our text enlarge our expectation in the name of jesus we say yes for lord father we thank you that is your desire to bless us indeed father in the name of jesus we decree increase increase in the name of jesus father we say yes and amen amen hallelujah praise the lord give the lord a hand we love you we say yes lord we say thank you [Applause] thank you jesus hey do you are you sensing the same thing has anybody got

yeah they were talking before and we were discussing a few stories about how we were introduced to offering yeah do you want to share yours first yeah um so when i was little we'd do offering at sunday school and before the service i would always go up to dad and pick a coin out of his wallet and it'd always have to be the shiniest the newest check the date and everything and i'd pick that coin to put into the offering did it matter if it was gold or silver no it didn't really it was if if a five cent coin was made in that year versus a two dollar coin i picked five cents because it's shinier yes yeah yeah because am i the best for the lord only the best for the lord because in my mind i'd put it in the bucket and someone would take that and take it up to heaven literally and give it to the lord so when he saw my coin he'd be like oh that's a good coin i love that you'd appreciate the coin you had a story as well didn't you yes okay so mine is similar started in kids church and what we would do is my mom would give us a few coins and i didn't i didn't actually check if they were shiny or not i just checked like how big it was so if it was a 50 cents if yes again cents was better than two dollars i guess but that's it was awesome to a kid because it's about the posture of your heart so anyway we get our coins and we get all hyped up because there would be a basketball hoop and the bucket in the basketball hoop and so we'd all take a running start and we'd throw the coins into the bucket it's kind of like a slam dunk except we were short so we'd be like and um they kind of follow but it's okay because you pick them up and you go again and it was awesome and then we pray over it everyone would gather around and pray over it and then i would just start imagining where my money was going to i was imagining them taking my the coins that i'd sewed to africa and blessing the kids over there or maybe it was i'd see someone on the side of the road that was less fortunate and i was like oh what if my money helped them this week it was just it was just really exciting for me to think about when i was growing up it's so cute that was so good yeah every little bit blesses the lord um yeah he sees that you'll forgive her and he's blessed fire would you like to lead us in prayer yeah i can do that lord thank you so much for the offering that's being given tonight i thank you that you see the needs in everyone's lives and um yeah that you're faithful to do exceedingly abundantly all that we can ask think or imagine so i thank you lord that yeah you just bless our congregation um bless where this money is going to in jesus mighty name and bless our night amen amen enjoy guys praise the lord father we love you god we're so thankful for your presence we're so thankful for your mercies that are new every morning holy spirit we're thankful for your presence here right now thank you that you never leave us or forsake us you know right now if you're in pain in any way in your body i really believe the holy spirit wants to put his hand on you and touch you and so that you don't have to sit through the message with pain in your body right now so father i thank you that you care so much just since there's somebody uh here that's that's really struggling with a headache right now and that might not seem like a big thing but it's a distraction it's a it's pain or there may be pain in your back or somewhere in your body if you can i want you to put your hand on the part of your body that's in pain right now and i believe the holy spirit wants to put his hand there as well and he wants to touch you and he wants to heal you so father i thank you right now in jesus name lord we bring that pain to you lord surely you bore our sorrows you bore our pain so we don't have to live in pain that we don't have to be in pain god you are our redeemer you are our healer lord right now i thank you for healing in the name of jesus thank you no more pain lord right now i thank you that it goes in jesus name father thank you for your healing touch lord you are so faithful you are so good god he said thank you we thank you for your presence right now thank you for your presence right now in the name of jesus the holy spirit is touching you he's healing you right now father i thank you yes god now yes more lord yes yes lord more lord thank you father now all of it goes dissipates in the name of jesus at the name of jesus satan's host must flee in the name of jesus we are the healed of the lord thank you for healing freedom wholeness healing in jesus name thank you lord amen hallelujah isn't he wonderful our wonderful wonderful savior a wonderful father i get so excited hearing about what the lord is doing in people's lives we love to hear your testimonies just hearing testimonies even this week of people that were saved and delivered and have had healing in the meetings you know god wants to do so much more than our hearts would let us believe and he wants to open up our hearts he wants to fill us afresh with the gift of faith so that we can really begin to make room for god to fill us and to help us hallelujah he has so much that he wants to do and um tonight i'm looking forward to sharing with you something that the lord has put on my heart that i believe is something that that all of us can relate to and i also believe it's a word from the lord we are also being joined tonight with people from around australia there's a beautiful ministry streams ministry and they've got congregations in sydney and townsville and people in adelaide and papua new guinea tonight and we are so excited to be able to be with them tonight so just to be able to uh minister further afield most of these ones are in lockdown are not able to gather so we're gonna open our hearts and uh invite them to gather with us so in just a minute when they give me a wave ben where are you give me a wave when they're ready to go and and and we'll um i want you to turn around and we're going to wave at them and we're going to bless them can we do that tonight that'll be so special and you know i also really feel um that in this moment right now that we are in being invited to step out of the boat that there is an opportunity that i believe the lord is releasing such a gift of faith you know there's been a lot that has been lost or missed out on this year because of coronavirus and all the things people have missed out on lots of celebrations and missed out on lots of opportunities i mean there's been so much that has turned people's worlds upside down but you know god makes all things work together for our good that's everything he doesn't cause the bad stuff but let me tell you he'll make it work for your good if you'll believe in his goodness and i really believe that the holy spirit is wanting to inject a fresh gift of faith into your hearts to begin to expect the exceedingly abundantly above the divine recompense and the overflow of accelerated recompense for what has been lost in this past season does anyone agree do i hear an amen amen because i believe as we present him our ashes he wants to give us our beauty he wants to give us his beauty as we present our sorrows he wants to give us joy hallelujah we don't have to pretend with god we don't have to pretend that everything's okay she'll be right mate aussieism we can be very real with god we can say ow it hurts but as we present our pain he wants to give us his beauty his redemption hallelujah how we going ben almost ready hallelujah praise the lord who's got some ashes they want to trade one or two does it actually have to be literal ashes you know what i'm talking about here anything that seems a bit messed up and you know what that beautiful promise is not just for those that have been victims it's also for those that have brought the trouble on themselves in fact that scripture was written for for people who had brought trouble on themselves so there is nothing that can limit the divine double recompense of god if you will humble yourself and bring him the mess bring him the ashes so i say again has anyone got smashes they want to trade hallelujah you know i really believe that the holy spirit wants to help us to do that and he wants to make a way for us all right are we ready nearly oh that's nice praise the lord we're going to say hello and welcome we're going to pray a blessing on them they're they're watching from sydney um uh it's it's congregations of um all sorts of different ethnicities which is just going to be so lovely and um we're going to invite them into our meeting tonight and we're going to be a part of their conference that they're having so praise the lord all right i'm waiting because i just want to i want to welcome them i want them to feel welcome can we do that praise the lord hallelujah hallelujah oh god we thank you we bless you we give you worship and glory and honor and praise daddy you are our delight father tonight i pray that you would set people free that you would set hearts free and that you would cause people to be saved and healed and delivered in the name of jesus god i thank you that your word does not return to you void but it accomplishes what you send it forth to do god i thank you lord that there is not a word that proceeds from your mouth that doesn't do what you have sent it to do so god i thank you and i ask you lord tonight as the word goes forth father that people will be set free healed saved and delivered god and i'm asking holy spirit that your word for each one of us god would bear great fruit in the name of jesus hallelujah praise the lord well why don't we turn around we're going to welcome our streams ministry and everyone watching in sydney and townsville and adelaide and papua new guinea and wherever you're watching from it's such a joy to be with you hallelujah praise the lord i'm catherine hallelujah and god knows your name too hallelujah and i really believe the lord wants to speak to us tonight and he wants to invite us into more than we've understood or even allowed ourselves to dream of if you've got your bibles you can turn with me to psalm 42 i love this psalm but actually i'm going to read to you from it from the passion translation i really i love it in the passion in fact i encourage you to read the whole psalm because i think it's a word in season for us in this new day uh we've got the feast of tabernacles we've got the the new year the jewish new year has has come upon us but i believe it's more than just a an anniversary or a marker i believe it's a spiritual opportunity for us to recognize it's a new day and a new era and it's a time of divine recompense it's a time of harvest hallelujah here in australia they are advertising i don't know if you've seen the advertisements but they are advertising for the harvest army have you seen that because we've had such good rain praise the lord we were praying so hard and so long for the rain that we're now having bumper crops praise the lord but because the borders are closed all the international fruit pickers aren't able to come over and bring in the harvest so they're desperately needing people to go to places like stanthorpe and all around australia out to the farms and pick fruit and so they got this great big um campaign going it was on the front page of the australian today harvest harvest harvest and you know i believe it's prophetic that harvest harvest harvest the fields are white the fields are ripe but pray to the lord of the harvest that he'd send forth laborers into the harvest field because the harvest is plenty but the laborers are few and i really believe the lord's inviting us into a season of harvesting not only harvesting souls because his spirit is working and as we move with him he's going to cause us to be able to reap them and bring them in but he's also wanting to bring a harvest of promises in this season that there's going to be a harvest i hear the lord saying that cast your bread upon the waters and after many days it'll come back well the many days have been and the coming back is here hallelujah and it's a season now where you're going to begin to harvest those things that you've sown in tears those promises that have almost gone dormant the holy spirit wants to breathe on them again and he wants to see us come into a place of supernatural harvest but it's going to require us recognizing the need for god to release in our hearts a prayer of faith and the only way we can pray the prayer of faith is if we allow his perfect love to cast out all our fear it says here in psalm 42 verse 7 from the passion translation it says here my deep need calls out to the deep kindness of your love some translations would say my deep cries out to your deep my deep need calls out to the deep kindness of your love i don't know about you but i need my relationship with god to be real i can't just do a form god wants us to have a real relationship with him and i remember years ago i was praying as i normally would i'd been asking all the things and the bible tells us in philippians 4 2 don't be anxious about anything but in everything with prayer and supplication with thanksgiving make your requests known to god and the peace of god will guard your heart and mind and so i go through and i'd asked all the things i got a long list i don't know about you but the more i ask the more i begin to realize i need to ask about that so i've done all the asking i'd i'd spent the time with the lord and prayed through but there was still this grumble in my spirit and i just didn't know i didn't know what it was it's like an itch that you couldn't scratch only deeper in my spirit and i went into my room um i felt the lord just so powerfully in the room but i i couldn't get rid of this [Music] and so i said to god i said lord in desperation she said what do i want and i heard his voice so clearly he said to me you want to be loved and you think well what what do you mean god because i've got a lovely family i've got a husband who loves me i got children who love me a lovely church you've blessed me in so many ways that lots of people love me but he was right as soon as he said it my heart just went oh yes this is what i want i want to be loved god and i it was the entrance into such a deep encounter with his love as it just washed over me and satisfied this deep need that was calling out to the deep kindness of his love you know that deep need is not something that is a one-off event that gets filled and then that's it the heart of the father it tells us in that beautiful prayer in ephesians 3 is to fill us to overflowing with all the fullness of god which means every day he wants more to be released in our hearts he wants to release more of his presence the bible says in his presence there is fullness of joy fullness is not just a good amount it's an overflowing glorious outpouring that can't be physically or emotionally or spiritually handled you need supernatural power to receive it and god wants to fill you with all the fullness of god and god is unsearchable so what does that look like it looks like filling a need that you can't even mentally comprehend but that is a deep calling to his deep that is a deep cry and and god wants to fill us every day it's a daily thing it's like manna you know you can't just keep surviving on the manner of yesterday he wants every day to give you fresh and your need for his deep kindness your need for his love is continuous because you were created for the continuous infilling and overflowing so there's nothing wrong with you if you find yourself in the place of going yes i need to be loved actually you are in a really healthy place because you're recognizing your need revelation 3 talks about the church of laodicea that got themselves into the place where they thought i'm right no worries i'm rich and full and have need of nothing but actually they didn't recognize they were genuinely really needy and because they didn't recognize their needs they weren't getting the love that god wanted to pour into their hearts so when you humble yourself and say lord i'm needing i'm needing for love he he he responds to your deep crying out and he comes to fill you up some people might get offended and they might say well you've got everything you need sister i mean i've had people harass me online ah you don't you know you've got everything and i'm like i know he's given me everything pertaining to life and godliness but it's not a static thing this is a living god that i am living with and my living need is continually crying out to his living water and i'm not a stagnant pond i have a river that god wants to continually supply hallelujah so that it never runs dry hallelujah but this deep need crying out to his deep love this revelation of the love of god this desire for god to fill you it's not just about your emotions or a nice encounter with god people could if you relegate it to that you could almost relegate it in your head to a luxury that you'll have when you've got time but this need for love is actually the key source to everything in your life if you want to live a life of victory and power if you want to overcome you have to get yourself in the place where you are in tune with that deep need on the inside of you so that you don't put it off because if you put off exposing your deep need to god so that he can fill you right down to the deepest part then very quickly that deep need starts to look elsewhere to be filled and the enemy can come in with all sorts of temptations but he can also come in with fear you see the bible says that perfect love casts out fear and fear doesn't just look like fear of the future or anxiety you might think well i'm not a fearful person but fear can take all sorts of forms and without daily opening up your deep need to receive by faith the deep kindness of his love for us that fear can come in and and it can look like a fear of not being quite enough a fear that that comes in with condemnation that tricks you into to falling back into old patterns of thinking that well you know i don't really feel tremendously worthy or spiritual right now or in a really good space and you can live with that creeping attitude does anyone know what i'm talking about the answer to that is the perfect love of god is hearing a revelation freshly that day today of god speaking to us and telling us the truth because in his light we see light so every day we need to turn our eyes upon jesus look full in his wonderful face because as we lift up our eyes to him in faith believing that he's going to fill us with his love that condemnation that sense of oh i'm not quite good enough it'll it'll start to fester if you don't let the love of god cast out the fear that comes to try and illegally take up residence on your beautiful garden of righteousness peace and joy he wants to settle like a lie sitting in the background just sapping your strength sapping your confidence it's a little fox that wants to spoil the vine you know in first john chapter 3 verse 20 these are verses that i share all the time i love these verses you should make them a memory verse if you haven't got these memorized but first john 3 verse 20 says for if our heart condemns us god is greater than our heart and knows all things 21 beloved if our heart does not condemn us we have confidence toward god you see receiving the love of god the perfect love of god casts out the fear that would rob you of your confidence that would give you the power to pray the prayer of faith that god has called us to pray and to to walk in the righteous shall live by faith but faith is powered by god who is love and so receiving love is not just a nice thing to make you feel better it's actually the power source that your confidence will flow from it's not a self-confidence it's a holy confidence that knows i am not condemned i am free as he is so am i in this world i am the righteousness of god in christ i am the redeemed of the lord unforgiven hallelujah we need to know and and have faith that god wants to prosper us and not to harm us plans to give us hope and a future he says i know the plans i have for you plans to prosper you not to harm you plans to give you hope and a future but how can you really believe that if in the back of your mind you're like yeah but i i really haven't prayed as much as i should have i really didn't i you know i didn't really perform well enough to feel like i'm in that place that god could just let me come into the abundance and the blessing it's been a lot of talk about blessing that beautiful song the blessing from numbers chapter six that beautiful aaronic play prayer the lord bless you and keep you make his face shine on you and be gracious to you the lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace well i i believe it's no accident that the the blessing has gone all over the world because god is looking to release a revelation of his love so that people can begin in faith to respond to what god wants to pour out and what he wants to pour out is terrifyingly glorious it's actually it's not ordinary by any stretch of the imagination it is and i say it like this terrifyingly glorious in that god you want to do what you would trust us with your glory to manifest your glory all over the earth so that your glory covers the earth as the waters cover the sea so that people are swept into your kingdom that they're experiencing miracles and signs and wonders that we would walk as the sons and daughters of god like kings and priests operating in a scary holy confidence a scary faith that's what the lord wants to do he wants to bless us indeed but in order to be able to receive what god wants to do so that he can bring the move that he wants to bring on the earth through you we have to humble ourselves and remember oh god i'm not rich and full and have need of nothing i'm actually deeply needy i need what do i want what do i want to be loved i need your deep love to cast out every remnant every trace of fear now jesus talked about um when he was talking to the woman at the well he was talking to her about this living water and she got excited saying well that'd be great to have water that i didn't have to come and carry these heavy parts and walk all the way out here every day but jesus was talking about a source that she wouldn't have to work for ever again it's something that by faith she could access at any moment without having to perform or work for it and this is the beauty of the love of god the bible talks to us about back here in psalm 42 about the river of his pleasure it's god's river of pleasure for us that he wants us to receive from you know everybody wants affirmation wants in some way to be loved and respected and and and and and valuable but god wants to provide that for us so far above what we could ever even comprehend or ask he wants to show you the value that you have to him that you are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the earth that you are as he is in this world that you have far more worth than you've ever understood and without a revelation of his love without him empowering your faith your head will get in the way of receiving that sort of affirmation from god on a daily basis but your need won't go away you'll start looking for it from everybody else god instead wants to fill it so powerfully and he but he needs us to believe that he is good and that he wants to give it to us now psalm 27 verse 13 says i would have lost heart unless i had believed that i would see the goodness of the lord in the land of the living we need to get a revelation of his love so that we can believe that when god is thinking about our future he has good plans in store how do we know that the bible says i know the plans i have for you plans to prosper you not to harm you so if you've got fear of the future dread of what might come this is a promise plans to prosper you not to harm your plans to give you hope and a future the bible says that he's laid up good works in advance for you to do he says i desire to bless you and keep you make my face shine on you and be gracious to you to lift my countenance upon you to give you peace and god wants to make room in our hearts to receive what he wants to pour in a fresh dose of hope it doesn't mean that we don't have trouble in this world we have trouble but take heart in other words grab a hold of hope because god has overcome the world and he will cause all things to work together for the good of those who love him and are called according to his purpose amen so how do you do this how do you access this love little birth in you a prayer of faith that will empower you to believe dare to believe that he actually wants to bless you well when you get along with god you need to approach him in faith and believe that he is god who calls those things that be not as though they are so if you go to him and you come and you're you're feeling like oh god i just you know i know better i i really should have been praying more than i have been i i haven't really spend much quality time with you at all i don't really feel very spiritual and you come and you're feeling like this anyone ever relating to what i'm saying and your and your heart is condemning you i could have done more if you if you get on that treadmill anything you've done will never be enough because you could always do more i'm not saying that spending time with god isn't a wonderful thing but when we have the attitude that we're somehow working to deserve anything we're on a treadmill that will only cause us to live in constant condemnation but if you approach god believing god calls those things that be not as though they are he he says that about you and i when he spoke to abraham when he called him he was called abram he spoke to abram and he said i'm going to make you the father of many nations and i call you abraham father of many nations he called what was not as though it was he looked at gideon in the wine press and he says mighty man of valor while he's hiding in the wine friends he looks at the woman who's caught in adultery and caught in the very act this one who should be stoned for what she's done and when jesus speaks to her you know what he says he doesn't say you filthy sinner how could you you're gonna have to pay for that he looks at her and he says neither do i condemn you go and sin no more what he was doing was inviting her into a new life and a new way and a new day he was inviting her to turn from her wicked ways and to embrace the righteousness of god the gift of mercy and forgiveness where he looks at her and doesn't see the sin and the past he looks at her and says there you are beautiful one go and sin no more i'm giving you power to have a new life uncondemned free from shame free from the definition of the past a new life hallelujah and the heart of god is for every one of us to recognize that god is offering to us something fresh every day when we come to him we come to worship him he's speaking over you truth he's not identifying you by your path but as you come to him and you you've acknowledged god i did that that was wrong i shouldn't have done that he says that he doesn't even recall your past sins they are so far removed from you that they no longer have anything to do with you that is not who you are anymore whether they're sins that you've done or sins of things that you should have done and didn't do it doesn't matter if you approach god in faith believing that he's the same yesterday today and forever he looks at you and says neither do i condemn you he looks at you and calls things that be not as though they are he looks at you and says mighty man of bella woman of god full of faith and power he looks at you and he speaks to your destiny every day so when you approach god the love of god the perfect love of god comes in to dispel and get rid of the fear that you haven't measured up and you're not okay and he comes to pour out his love and set you free from the fear that you haven't measured up and that perfect love will then pour into your heart a fresh gift of faith that will cause you to be able to pray the prayer of faith he says if if my heart does not condemn me if your heart does not condemn you first john 3 21 we have confidence before god and whatever we ask will receive do you believe that yes that's intense that's not a conditional promise if you will believe god if you believe the lord jesus christ if you love him and let that love overflow to others and live in this river of love you can walk in a scary godly confidence that whatever you ask you'll receive that you will walk this earth like jesus did doing the same works that he did and greater works it's not hype or a nice thought it's an invitation waiting for your response i was reading today from nehemiah chapter two and i've been enjoying the story of nehemiah and nehemiah had gone back to rebuild the walls of jerusalem he'd heard a report that the people living there were in great distress that the walls were all burnt down the gates were burned and he went back with the king's blessing to go and start the rebuilding and he met with such opposition people were falsely accusing him they were threatening him they were intimidating him but here it says in verse 20 of chapter 2 so i answered them and said to them the god of heaven himself will prosper us therefore we his servants will arise and build you know i read that today and i believe that's a prophetic word for us right now for the body of christ that it's time in this decade of declaration to arise to shake off the dust to build intentionally in the spirit and the expectation the joyful anticipation of good build in expectation build in the spirit what god wants to do what he wants you to dream with him about and to intentionally begin to step out and see him do what he's promised to do but these ones as they were building the the men on the wall were encouraged to build with a trowel in one hand and the sword ready because they were constantly being attacked constantly being intimidated you know i believe this sword of the spirit that we've been hearing the lord talking about so much is something that god really wants you to pick up and activate the sword of the spirit which is the word of god he wants you and i to be declaring those things that be not as though they are to start speaking in the spirit to start declaring this is what god's going to do god himself will prosper us god will help us hallelujah magnificent jesus so they built and they declared and they built and they were ready are you ready god wants to do exceedingly abundantly above i'm going to emily to come and carsten and jane and we're going to pray for some people we're going to pray for these ones online we're going to pray for people here in the building i believe the holy spirit wants to do something wonderful hallelujah are you ready come on come on up captain come on up guys thank you papa actually had a word for first of all the holy spirit just said just to release something else i felt god's violence jealousy towards people that had been feeling overwhelmed with despair i thought it was people hearing people online and i just felt him come with such force and defend you and sweep away despair and replace it with his love and with his grace i just speak i'm going to speak of you right now hope is rising faith is rising it's breaking in to the garden of your heart it's overwhelming faith overwhelming hope is coming over people right now in the name of jesus god is turning hearts completely around from despair to absolute confident expectation right now people are standing up in their hearts right now i felt it very strongly even especially for the people watching online there's a total shift a total turning of the tide complete shift right now in the name of jesus thank you that you are going to do exceedingly abundantly above all we could ever ask for i think behold i'm doing a thing in your days that you will not believe thou be told you god is going to turn situations around so ridiculously in person in people's lives in their families and in nations that people would scoff at if you told them right now but it's going to happen in jesus name thank you father say yes god thank you father we partner with it right now thank you jesus thank you father yes god that's a word from the lord right now for you all over this place and watching online wherever you are if you if you resonate with that if you're really feeling the holy spirit saying yes he's wanting to stir you i really believe he's wanting to release a fresh hope in you tonight the perfect love of god that casts out fear that casts out despair i'm going to read this psalm 42 to you just one to seven in the in the passion translation i just want to read the full thing and we're just going to continue to minister as the holy spirit leads but i believe that this god really wants to speak to people hallelujah make this work thank you jesus says here i long to drink of your god drinking deeply from the streams of pleasure flowing from your presence my longings overwhelm me for more of you my soul thirsts pants and longs for the living god i want to come and see the face of god day and night my tears keep falling and my heart keeps crying for your help while my enemies mock me over and over saying where is this god of yours why doesn't he help you so i speak over my heart broken soul take courage remember when you used to be right out front leading the procession of praise when the great crowd of worshipers gathered to go into the presence of the lord you shouted with joy as the sound of passionate celebration filled the air and the joyous multitude of lovers honored the festival of the lord so then my soul why would you be depressed why would you sink into despair just keep hoping and waiting on god your savior for no matter what i will still sing with praise for living before his face is my saving grace here i am depressed and downcast yet i will still remember you as i ponder the place where your glory streams down from the mighty mountaintops lofty and majestic the mountains of your awesome presence my deep need calls out to the deep kindness of your love you know i believe there's been people that have been you've been hearing the mocking voices you've been hearing and and and feeling the oh god people are i i've got to be thinking where is this god of theirs where's this god of hers why is that bad thing happening to her well many are the afflictions of the righteous but the lord delivers him from them all and the holy spirit wants to inject into your heart today a fresh hope that says i will hope in god so why you downcast hope in god for he is our saving grace hallelujah he who hopes in him will not be disappointed you make all things work together for good hallelujah praise the lord i had a word for the lady in the scarf just over on this side you're looking around right now yeah that's you could you stand for me sorry it's a bit hard to see um i had a picture kind of like um you know when uh in the story in exodus how moses was taking the israelites uh across the red sea and the lord split the ocean in two so they could walk on dry land and so they could continue on to the uh to the promised land and i felt the lord was saying um that he's made a way of escape for you a way of escape from those people that have tried to enslave you like the egyptians were to the israelites it's people who would um hinder you from where you need to be going so he's made him a way of escape so that you can walk on dry land so that you can continue on to all that he's called you on to with ease without worrying that maybe you won't be able to get there that he's got you and he's made a way of escape for you so that they can't touch you awesome so good i just got a ps on that that's my daughter emily isn't she beautiful i hear the lord saying that i am going to part the red sea for you that there's people who've been thinking and and saying well god you've made this promise and it seems absolutely impossible i can't see how in the natural it could possibly happen and you you may even feel like your back's against the wall and it's like there's if god doesn't move we're done for but i heard the lord say i am parting the red sea for you i am making a way where there seems to be no way watch and see and just as emily was prophesying i believe the lord is saying that to you corporately that god anyone who'll have it can take it and say yes lord you are making a way a glorious roadway in the wilderness rivers in the desert you are god of the impossible and if you open your mouth and begin to declare it god says watch and see what i will do like cast and prophesied it'll be so amazing that people will think [Applause] wow god this is beyond anything i've even dared to dream this is the desire and the will of god i tell you there is a gift of faith being released to see this and jump into it right now hallelujah praise god amen um when i was sitting before i saw this picture as pastor catherine was um speaking of someone perhaps online it was like i don't know if it was uh physical or just a sense it's like you had your diary open and then you put a ribbon in the page and you closed it and you just thought i just need to sit here in this place it was possibly something that pastor katherine spoke about about the love of god or just something a sense in your heart but you felt like you needed to stop and just camp right here in this place in this revelation with him and i feel like this i get this sense of maybe for all of us actually that you know his love it's not just another book on the shelf it's the whole library we need to stop and put a ribbon in that page and we need to respond and just choose that this is where we're going to stop and we're going to live in this place it is a good place to camp it's a good place to live but i just feel that as as you respond to that with your heart he's going to pour out such a such a love but actually such a i get this sense of kind of like a clean slate kind of like you're standing on a clean slate it's clearing the noise and so i just declare over you today that there's a clearing of the noise of your life as you lean into the love of god and just make that the place that you camp in the name of jesus i release the encounter of the love of god that it is the only thing it is the only thing i declare a single-eyed vision over whoever that's for there's a single-eyed vision that he's bringing you into it's powerful in jesus name yeah [Music] i'm taking that for myself as well um talk about out of the mouth of two or three witnesses that lovely lady with the scarf on i saw your scarf on a billboard today and it says selling the western corridor that god is making away for you [Laughter] talking about the warrior freeway it's straight line west it makes your way through the mountains god is making a way for you dharmarama you're a giant and don't forget it and i said as i looked at you i saw that prophetic gift inside of you but i saw these plates of armor start to slap onto you like something out of a movie i was reminding you how strong and mighty you are mighty mighty man a giant in the face and your season is coming again season is coming again and some of the things i know you're passing through right now so that it doesn't appear i'm prophesying out of knowledge that's not your lot don't let it define you i saw a picture during worship pastor catherine told me about our beautiful friends joining us online and the moment she told me i saw a picture of this beautiful woman's face she was only short and she was a real mama you know you see the smile on her face and you could tell she was a mother of adult children or at least near adult children she had a tan and i saw a big hoop earring i want to tell you children are going to be okay i don't know who you are but your children are going to be okay and you've been praying for them and you're full of faith and you're a woman of the holy spirit and your powerful intercessor but um god want to tell you you're gonna children are gonna be okay hallelujah it's so powerful praise the lord you can take that and grab it but you know just as caster was speaking i felt that there's some somebody that you've been really struggling with your joints that there's been a lot of pain in your joints and i i don't know if it's some form of arthritis or what it is but i i know the holy spirit right now is touching you and healing you right now i thank you father they're gonna feel it they're going to feel it through their elbows their fingers their their knees their hips father in the name of jesus i just release healing right now lord i thank you for supple healthy joints father i thank you for that knee being healed now that right knee being healed in the name of jesus thank you for wholeness thank you for healing thank you daddy thank you touching toes lord god thank you for healing you are so good lord we give you worship hallelujah i'm not sure who this is for if it's someone online but i kept seeing the numbers one two one 121 and i'm not sure if there's anyone here or online who's been seeing those numbers but if you have uh in psalms 12 verse 1 very first word that pops up is help [Music] which is an awesome prayer i'm sure you've taught um but yeah i felt like the lord was saying that you may have felt like you have been fighting fighting a battle by yourself and that you feel like i need reinforcements right now otherwise they're going to overcome me um so yeah the lord wants to help you he's just waiting for you to cry out help even the smallest who help god and he's there ready to help hallelujah praise god you know that scripture i read from nehemiah was nehemiah 2 20. and you know prophetic people will see all sorts of things in that but i really believe that that that word that declaration the god of heaven himself will prosper us therefore we his servants will arise and build is a declaration that we need to adopt that as the body of christ we grab a hold of it and say yes the god of heaven himself will prosper us therefore we his servants will arise and build you know i believe the enemy has has worked hard to try to intimidate you into down tools to to putting it all down and just down tools we'll just have to wait this out but the lord would say god himself i myself will prosper you and he's wanting you to come into agreement and make a declaration we will arise and build when it looks like it's time just to down tools and wait it out god is saying arise and build because god is going to do in your time exceedingly abundantly above all you can ask hope or imagine even as we've entered into a springtime season here in australia there is a springtime in the spirit that god is birthing fresh new things fresh hope and don't allow the enemy to bring you back into discouragement and despair because he's saying shake it off arise build move forward for i am with you and i will establish the work of your hands yes i will establish the work of your hands hallelujah amen you guys got anything else um my friend i i've forgotten your name we met last last fortnight yep michael can you stand up for a second who's this lady that's with you it's your mum yeah mum could you stand up as well i felt like you crossed a a really positive line in the last two weeks and something shifted for you and that

good thanks guys you know whether you're here in the building or you're watching online you know as i've been talking about this knowable god and having relationship where he talks to you and affirms

you know in your heart you haven't got relationship with him you haven't come and said lord i surrender my life i want you to be my lord and my savior all it takes is for you to get real with god and say lord i need a savior the bible says all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of god the wages of sin is death we cannot by any means get to heaven without the salvation of the only true god jesus christ and as but if we humble ourselves and say lord i believe that jesus christ is the son of god that he died and rose again to take away my sin and as you come to him and say lord here's my sin he is my shame he is my mess he is my past i surrender come and be the lord of my life the bible says he'll come in he'll make you a brand new creation he'll fill you with everlasting life and you'll come into a relationship with him that the lord says nothing and no one can separate you but it requires a response he was slain for the sins of the whole world he desires that no one should perish but he also says no man comes to the father but by me he says i set before you life and death choose life we need to exercise the freedom that we've been given created in the image of god and choose to receive jesus christ as savior as lord and when we do that we can have confidence that we'll spend eternity with him and that we can walk never alone again but with the one who wants to satisfy that deep need that cannot be satisfied in any other way if you're here and you know in your heart you need to do that you need to get right with god you want to respond to the lord and
