[Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Laughter] [Music] good morning everybody [Music] [Music] it's so good to see you all online look i'm not even gonna begin to to mention places but you're coming in from everywhere this morning with love hearts and praying hands and smiley faces i think instead of discussing the weather our new thing should be put a symbol of what the weather is like where you are okay and inspire us all so here we are first of october can you believe it we're into october and it's it's friday and i am here it's louise here with sam and laura beth we just as we were coming on i just said actually will i get a word in edgeways this morning i've got two what i call nabi nabi prophets they can talk assam says why use two words when you can use 200 or even 2 000 and uh but seriously it's great to be on with with you too laura beth is a great friend from the south west of ireland in the beautiful county kerry so you've got a good dose of the south of ireland online this morning with our scottish mix of mr robertson but you know the word of the lord is for everybody everywhere and we need to apply it to our own life so it doesn't matter where we where we're from in one sense this morning so anyway i shall say no more let's let's jump jump straight in i just feel a real sense that the lord wants to strengthen us oh he's gone oh he's coming back the lord wants to strengthen us this morning you know often on a friday it's like oh you know we're winding down the end of the week going into the weekend but you know what actually he wants to come and strengthen us uh going into our weekend consistently and constantly at work we don't get weekends off in the kingdom that's not the way it works so laura beth i'm gonna um hop to you straight away great to see you come on what are you carrying this morning for us good morning louise and sam from sunny southwest ireland and the word of the lord is this real um place that he is not asking but requiring us to remove a place that we some of us have found ourselves in in a miry trench and take a new posture at threshold god just began to really stir this word in me um he woke me up night before last and just said this is a place where people have found themselves going through the monotony of what has unfolded in the last 18 months and they are in a trench they know there's something more they know the season is new but they remain in this place of the trench i am calling them to come out of that place of the trench and take a new posture in this place of a real provided this is real provision in this seat in this season this is what we've asked for this is what we've stood for this is what we believe for and he's kept me in this in the passion translation in um second corinthians 4 um verse 16 it says so no wonder we don't give up for even though our outer person gradually wears out our inner being is being renewed every single day and you know when you talk about that renewal and understanding these are the days of revival i started thinking about um twice since i've lived in ireland and that's been since 2007 i left ireland to go to revival in the united states and i've thought about everything that it required for you know to make that trip over the expectations and yes i'm delighted that i went however this is such a new uh um new time of seeing what god is unfolding in how we even saw or understand revival revival is in us revival is in this um very present place of wherever you're coming out from different nations revival is in you it always starts with a church and it's this place of understanding i'm not looking for the latest greatest move i'm looking to stay in this place of revival understanding and i heard emma say it earlier in the week this is a spirit move we're not looking for the supernatural move we understand scripturally we want to come back to the place of being orthodox with the scriptures and understanding this is a spirit move so in that time of you know traveling over to go to revival if you're a golfer and you travel with golf clubs you have to drop your golf clubs at a different place than the normal baggage queue and so i really felt like god was saying this morning to come out of that place of the trench go drop those bags those relationships those ways of doing um your stewarding your personal life your ministry go drop the baggage and today start in that place of i'm taking this new posture before god understanding i'm a part of shifting my nation i've seen my family shifted my business shifted in the place of god's new amen that's good wow what that's a power packed piece laura beth uh it actually reminds me of even what we were talking about on monday morning with um sarah jane and and mark burch machin about that whole thing you're using the word in the trenches that sense of entrenched maybe in the mud and the mire i'm thinking of even the verses of sam forty um and actually we're on the threshold and we need him to take us out of those entanglements that mud and that mire to move us on to what we what what he has for us what we know is ahead this this spirit move that work that we're in and um that you use the word monotony i i i love that because actually we're seriously moving out of the monopoly of what covet has brought us there's such a level of excitement and guys we need you to catch that to catch what is ahead because when you catch that it will give you uh just a boost in your spirit to go yes jesus take me out of that mud and that my the new posture on the threshold getting rid as you say the baggage dump i like that the baggage dump leaving the trenches into into the new and we we need wisdom we need um insight we need revelation uh of him and also of what he's saying to us of what to dump um dump is a nice word i think there's we could we could up the ante on that word um and the intensity of that word sam do you want to come in on that because i think there's there's uh in in dumping some stuff actually the way we do that is actually crucifying us so talk to us sam i was wondering where you're going with that there but yes great and navigation into the next word but just quickly to kind of add on to to laura best great work there um you know one corinthians 69 we love that verse don't we a wide and effectual or a great effectual door for ministry or for opportunity has opened for you and at it are many adversaries or at it there are many enemies there's much opposition and i think i've often read that verse as an invitation into warfare you know new season new warfare higher level higher devils but i think as well that verse has an undertone of choice look you can cross the threshold you can move into the next season you're gonna have to fight you're gonna have to press in but you can choose that or you can choose to stay in front of the door and actually not walk through it you can choose to stay where you are and you can choose to avoid those warfare opportunities that door and i think god is saying to us right now look yes you need to fight a little bit but i need you to choose are you going to step through the door are you going to step over the threshold as laura beth was saying there are you going to make that choice even though there are enemies even though there is a requirement for you to fight into warfare are you going to choose to step through that threshold or are you going to be intimidated to stay where you are are you going to let the enemy at the threshold intimidate you to stay where you are and we are in that place of opportunity where god is saying see i have set this vast land before you what are you going to choose like the deuteronomy verse of look i've set for you death and life blessings and curses choose life that's what i want you to choose but at the end of the day the choice is up to you the choice is down to you and we're in that place just now where god is inviting us into a choice and he is giving us meaningful responsibility to choose our future to choose our next movements to choose our next days and he's saying don't let the enemy at the threshold the enemy at the door of opportunity intimidate you to stay where you are actually choose to move forward and choose to go over it and in that place i really believe that as the church there is an invite to participate in the death burial resurrection and ascension of jesus like never before and it's not that that actually we've not done that but i think there is a fullness to particularly the participation in the death of jesus that is being extended to us and you know as as charismatic spirit-filled believers we love the concept of i want to participate and know the resurrection which i think is so right and i think the resurrection is the single most significant thing to to have happened and and we want to know that that and participate in the ascension but i think the crucifixion we often skirt past and and though we remember on good friday we remember it when we take communion we forget to participate and we forget to say jesus i want to experience i want to know i want to dwell and i want to meditate and your crucifixion and your death and it's right through scripture you know galatians 2 20 i have been crucified with christ and it is no longer i who live but christ who lives in me romans 6 6 or your old self was crucified with him an order that our body of sin may be done away with so that we would no longer be slaves to it and over the last couple of weeks um i don't know about you i mean we touched on it in power hour there has been this atmosphere almost of death that has been around there has been this atmosphere of death and obviously we know uh that that there's great life that the enemy is sending to that god is sending to us that there's great life as an opportunity that god is inviting us to step into so the enemy's obviously responding to that and saying look i'm gonna set this this atmosphere of death around you and i went to start to pray about you know i break that spirit of death i kill that spirit of death i destroy that spirit of death or warriors or prophets that's what we go through and that's what we normally do and as i was actually writing a prayer to pray god went whoa whoa stop and he actually wagged his finger at me stop i didn't ask you to write that prayer i was like if that's how you that's how you kill demons god we do this all the time together and he said so strongly to me no this time you kill the spirit of death by participating in my death you kill the spirit of death by participating in my death and we are rising into the days of the crucified church where we participate in his crucifixion we participate in his death and the fullness of what his death achieved for us is made known to us and we die with christ our old man dies in that sort of way and our fleshly ways die in that sort of way and we know that the word of god says look that if we live according to the flesh we will die anyway and just before i i passed back so we can sharpen one another on this i heard the lord say to the church you have lived according to the flesh and that is death you have led according to the flesh and that is also death you have worshiped according to the flesh and that is death you have taught according to the flesh and its death you've gathered according to the flesh and it's death but now you know romans 8 tells us by the spirit god is saying put to death the misdeeds of the body put to death your fleshly ways so that you can live in the fullness of my spirit and that's really where i believe that we are right now and that's why i think communion more than i mean i have had this inner compulsion i don't know about you guys but like every day i'm like i need to take communion i need to find someone i was on the phone to a friend yesterday i was just saying can we take communion on the phone because i love myself and i wanted to take it with someone can we take it together and just this hunger why because god is saying participate in my death participate in my death oh sam you are so honest you are so honest i mean i've been prophesying about communion being so important and about communion coming back centrally to the church where communion we are going to bound over the rules around communion because the inner the the the the desire to eat and drink the death of jesus is going to be so overwhelming that it will just override any rules and any way that we used to do it and we'll feast in a way that we've never feasted before and can i tell you i i don't know about the rest of you online or even salmon and laura beth but communion has always been some sort of level of mystery and there has been a religious spirit there's been a shroud of death over the celebration of communion and i believe god is really lifting that off so that jesus watch for this jesus himself will come and break the bread and distribute the wine he will pour himself out and allow him to come and and literally feed you at your communion services whether that's with your family at home whether it's even by yourself with your friends or or in your com your church community but watch how communion changes as people come and enter the death of jesus they will spontaneously come to faith i mean that's a bit big thing to say because we're always like if you know jesus you're welcome to come and take communion how about this come and take communion so that you will know him yeah come on the part that you want to know him go and take communion feast on him in him it's going to it's going to be life-changing jesus himself is going to come and preside and just go back i want to go back to sam what you were saying there about we killed the spirit of death by participating in the death of jesus i think there is a a prayer that the the church need to pray and that is god will you reveal to us the power when you said when you come together do this in remembrance of me will you give us revelation of what that actually means because you've hit on something there but we are killing the spirit of death some time ago the lord said to when i was asking him about communion he said louise every time you break bread and drink the cup every time you're together you re-run the video the reel of the crucifixion of the reality of the death of christ in the face of the earth and in the face of the enemy and if there's one way you want the enemy to flee it's break bread meaningfully and enter into it we kill the spirit of death by participating in the death of jesus so good just if i can just say one other thing about this some years ago i know we like now things and testimonies from right now but a testimony from some years ago and actually one of the things that was birthed in me in the when god poured out his spirit in toronto i had a profound experience where he said i'm going to show you my power and my glory and i went into um i went into a serious vision where i was climbing a hill and i knew at the top of the hill there was going to be i was going to see his power and his glory and it was it was very overwhelming and as i was literally crawling up this hill when i got to the top i looked up and my breath was totally taken away because i saw him on the cross i saw jesus on the cross and i thought my goodness i thought i was going to see some incredible signs wonders but i didn't i saw the crucifixion and if that wasn't enough the cross began to move and it turned around and as it turned around my my breath wasn't just taken away i literally was i was so overwhelmed because on the back of the cross i saw myself hanging on his cross and i was completely overwhelmed and i was like lord can this be true and straight across my mind the spirit of god brought galatians 2 20. i have been crucified with christ and i no longer live but christ lives in me the life i live in the body i live i can't remember what the rest of the verse says somebody else can quote it but we have been crucified with christ this is the place of power this is the place of glory and if we want to live in the power of god this is the place we need to go if we cannot be crucified with him we cannot rise with him if we cannot rise with him we cannot reign with him so this is just such a now word so good sam we kill the spirit of death by participating in the death of jesus so you'll all be running after this call you'll all be going straight out to break bread to drink the wine do it by yourself do it with others and ask him to come ask him for revelation i know some of you are putting up there so that you've been breaking bread through through lockdown i know some some um families have been breaking bread every day together my husband and i for a phase of lockdown we broke bread together every day so powerful participating in the death of jesus so that is the birthplace the birthplace of all things one of you laura beth do you want to comment on that yeah just what's continues to just rise up in me as sam was giving out that word and yourself as well is just john 13 um 30 just um sorry 30 13. somebody in the comments correct me there it's that less of me and more of you jesus and really when we're talking about understanding the death of jesus you know um think about that conversation that he had with the father is is there any way out of this is there any way out of this and not my will but your will father and so i think that we're in a time that our worship our way of stewarding friendships our way of running our businesses everything is under the microscope this time and it it has to come to this place of um less of me none of me all of you jesus and and you know um louise there in the green room you were talking about worship and i i've just found in my worship time whether it's in my car or in my home i am adamant at this point about i us we don't really come into the the type of worship that i'm drawn to right now the the worship has to be about jesus it has to center around him my emotions of what i felt here or there really aren't on the table at this time and that's not me trying to sound like as we say in ireland to holy joe that's me just feeling this this real desire yeah to take communion anytime anyplace anywhere and i know there have been a couple of times i've i've been on sea swims and rang friends um in the north of ireland said hey i just came out of the water i'm sitting here in my car but i really have this desire to take communion i've got what i need can we take communion and it's powerful and so i think that you know part of the um less of me none of me all of you jesus is being willing to say i'm going to step outside of the box i'm going to step outside of the trench at this place of threshold everything that has been a part of my rhythm and how i've taken communion how i've worshiped jesus how i've you know stewarded friendships that's now all on the table and coming to this place of being willing it's painful to put some things to death there's some there's some friendships i just feel this rise up in me there's some friendships and some relationships that you have thought would be with you until you took your last breath on this earth or until um king jesus returned it's time to go to the baggage drop and to dump those things and it's not in this place of not being relational do you still love that person yes but jesus is asking us are you willing to put to death some things that are holding you back in a place of trench when i've called you to stand with a new posture at the place of threshold good job yes laura beth sam come in on that can you unmute i'm muted sorry i was in my world there um in the zone and claire you've you've posted something there that um i want to comment on a clear heart of someone over one of the prophets of the council and you've talked about that you've been holding a word for a couple of weeks about reset yourselves on on jesus and i think it is about re-centering but it's also then that next level of them participating in and how often are we a spectator of jesus how often are we and those who want to look upon and and remember but not fully participate and philippians 3 10 i mean i want to know christ yes to know his power the power of his resurrection and participation and his death but and his sufferings becoming like him in his death that that prayer must rise in us i want to know you christ yes the power of your resurrection but also the participation in your sufferings becoming like you and your death why is it that the spirit of death is killed by participation in the death of jesus well the spirit of death feeds on our flesh the spirit of death feeds on our old man quote unquote the spirit of death feeds on the mess deeds of our body and the only way that we triumph over that is by participation and the death of christ where the old man is dead and the new man is created and that constant reminder i'm a new man i'm a new man i'm a new man my new man is here i'm no creation in christ is how you overcome is how you overcome the spirit of death and actually i felt such a stark warning when i was preparing and that's kind of word this week about don't get caught up in warfare as you used to do it around this if you're feeling death all right because actually you're avoiding the root issue and the root issue is you're not fully dead yet we're not fully edge yet we've not fully participated in the suffering and the death of christ and that and by war you know i break that spirit of death we're avoiding what is actually the root of some of the death issues that we're facing around us and maybe we are making death choices maybe we are walking death paths and actually we are self-inflicting that pressure and god is saying to us do not avoid the issue by getting sidetapped by warfare when actually or warfare as you know it because communion and participating in death there's warfare but focus on what i'm actually inviting you into that philippines 310 reality participate in my death let me kill you let me kill your old ways your flesh ways your death ways and then you'll know life brilliant brilliant sam that is that is so good um just thinking about the threshold you know the next verses after and those in philippians 3 10 and 11 because it's all about somehow to attain the resurrection from the dead and then paul says this i press on yeah that's coming over the threshold i press on to take hold of that for which christ jesus took hold of me and then this is the whole thing about letting go of the past and and getting rid of the stuff the baggage drop as laura beth has said uh but one thing i do verse 13 forgetting what is behind and straining towards what his head i press on toward the goal to win the prize that's good god has called me heavenward in christ jesus and then i love the next comment okay it's like as if there's if there's any argument about any of this he just says now all of us who are mature should take such a view of things yeah if you're going to argue about it you're going to argue you're immature it's so good oh paul is so good guys i can't believe we're out of time in fact we're over time that was just just so rich and you're so rich this morning can we just bless each other into life to say choose life so that you and your family your community your nation may live come out the mud and mire make the choice go across the threshold with jesus take hold of his house today and allow him take you over into life into the john 10 10 life in all its fullness and remember that the place where where death is broken and the power of darkness and death is broken is in the death of jesus we we put that out there into the atmosphere and we just say in fact we put a charge on the body of christ to come back to that place of death come back to that place of communion with jesus to come back to that place of breaking bread together and together let's see the enemy flee in jesus name so guys we just bless you into a great weekend a weekend of life and strength and glory and crucifixion and resurrection and ascension so have a great weekend with jesus and the life of god and the life of your families etc etc uh we'll be back on monday morning at nine o'clock i don't know who's on but it's going to be absolutely awesome so thank you laura thank you sam and it's goodbye from all of us [Music] [Music] [Laughter] [Music] you
