Going Deeper into The Gift of Discerning of Spirits

[Music] heavenly other we just honor you thank you for her presence of your wonderful spirit this morning i and lord i just pray for especially these ones today that Lord that you truly give to them a revelation a word a breakthrough Lord something that they didn't expect didn't see coming a suddenly a aha moment Lord that really sets the course and sets the course of change for their life Lord let this be a morning of upgrade and in an elevation and restoration in the mighty name of Jesus in every said a man a man you can go ahead and be seated since everybody's done all the cat calling I won't go there I'll just you know it's already been taken care of but anyway you know I heart is really full and you know I always have a road that I want to go I might do a lot of detours I don't know we'll see but the first thing I really wanted to address and it wasn't whereas planning on going is I want to talk to intercessors how many to say I'm an intercessor if you didn't raise your hand you need to because everybody is an intercessor if you're a believer in Jesus you are an intercessor because Jesus is the the great intercessor and we are like him now it's going to play out differently in our lives depending on our responsibilities depending on our seasons in life but prayer is a non-negotiable obviously non-negotiable okay it's absolutely not negotiable and you might think or say to yourself right now I really suck at prayer prayer is like not my thing and the reason it's not your thing because you don't know how to connect because when you connect to God in prayer it is your thing you know because there's this this this feeling like I've touched heaven I've touched something eternal I've touched something supernatural and you're transformed in his presence that's what the word says it that we are transformed as we look at him you know like like in a mirror we actually become like him and so prayer is is not just this dry ritual where I'm just saying where its horizontally it's actually that vertical connection I think Mandy mentioned that and and so you say well you know I I just can't really find that well I want to challenge you to actually get before God and and take that challenge to him so we've got to connect okay we've got to connect my next book that's coming out Gloria carries it's all about you know people who really walk in the supernatural behind the scenes there is a deep relationship with the Holy Spirit that has been cultivated over years and with lots of frustration okay cuz how do you like you know I mean think about it you're you're talking to the Holy Spirit and wanting a friendship and a relationship and to be an intimate with the Holy Spirit and yet he's so holy you know and he loves you and he wants to be you know with you he wants to surround you and be there and yet you have this friction all the time because have you ever had a friend that smelled okay it's friction and your sin smells and so you know but he loves you and so you have this friction going on and yet you so delight in each other you just keep going for it you know what I'm saying and then eventually what happens because he's supernatural you become supernatural like him it becomes very natural and so when you see a Billy Burke let me tell you behind the scenes there is that that going after the Holy Spirit there is a relationship there that we don't see because it's personal we don't see but there's something there and we are seeing and experiencing the fruit of that okay that's a person who's very intimate with the Holy Spirit because there is there is fruit that demonstrates the relationship you see what I'm saying a lot of us we wonder well how does that happen and that must be for special people notes for for people who are intimate with the Spirit of God and so if we can put first things first and we'll begin to see a very different life but the problem is you're frustrated your Festa can I can't find you God god I can't find you I pray I don't feel you I don't hear you I don't see you I reach a word it's flat nothing I feel I got nothing going on here it's frustrating but I want to just challenge you with that is it that you need to work through your relationship blockades ask him for his help so something is in between here and and I I don't know if I need to grow I don't know what I need to do you know and really begin to press in day in and day out and you know you do that you start that right now this time next year you'll have a very different life okay because his supernatural gets on your natural and things just change just change and we get to really elevate and transform in his presence and there's no getting around that but it is frustrating it is frustrating because he actually goes for your heart because you have to have a wholehearted relationship with him and and he goes for your heart and that's the part we don't want him to have because it hurts or we don't want to give that thing up we don't want to give that attitude up we don't want him to touch that we don't want him to to point that out we don't want him to do that and you say that's a piece of you that smells it's in between us right now and yet he still loves you all the same so I'm having a technical issue right here my pen what did I do got it all right you know I know how to get stuff fixed in my house I just hold a hammer and I I act like I'm gonna fix it I know just a few moments he was gonna help me all right okay so so you know this is why for my life it's always been majoring on the relationship it's been always been about putting first things first you know prayer is the first thing I don't care what I let go I don't let go of prayer you know I just don't and because I know that a lot of times we feel like well I don't have time well if you would take time to pray you would save the time because you would stop doing things he never wanted you to do prayer has a way of prioritizing your life it really does and it cuts the fat out it cuts the the the the stuff out that you don't you you don't even need to engage in that you know what I'm saying it's not that it's even bad it's just what's the point and and and really learn to be purposeful because you're living out of a grace and you learn to find where His grace is at because you know his presence in the place of prayer and so again you stop doing the things you aren't intended to do now I'm not saying that we don't take care of our natural responsibilities or that we neglect our natural responsibilities and we call it's being spiritual I'm not saying that at all I am saying though there is a certain grace that you begin to sense on what he's doing what he's not doing and you begin to sense the his supernatural on your natural and thinks that there there's like things get greased for you and you find that doors open for you that you didn't have to like beg to be open or or or you know work your way up or work your way in and really work it you find that he takes care of the laborer in your life and so anyway that's just for free I wanted to just put that out there you know be people that put first things first now I really wanted to talk with you about the gift of discerning this person again that is a piece of prayer because part of prayer is actually taking authority over what Satan is doing and setting things right that's what we do on this side of you know heaven okay is that we part of it is we have that worship relationship we have that communion we have that dialogue with him the other piece of it is is taking authority and and actually actually advancing his kingdom first in the place of Prayer then with the strategic action as he gives it to you okay and so so it's like if you're going to take any city you have to go to the place of prayer first but those of you are who really have a city si you have a some kind of assignment in an industry I hope that you think that way okay a lot of us were just thinking very individually we don't think about the the broader picture and and so I want to challenge you to actually not settle for small satisfactions but to lift up your eyes and see a bigger assignment and so and so with that you know we begin to get his heart and we begin to get his strategy that strategy always includes dealing with demonic strongholds in some way or somehow and there is a whole group of people that think that that is not something we do that that if you even engage anything like that that you're gonna experience hell that you don't need to experience and you really just need to look at what Heaven's doing and just Park it there and just ignore anything that's demonic and I want to tell you that's not the Bible now where they're reacting to as people who got into access and all they looked at was the devil and what the devil is doing they forgot about what God is doing and they got themselves in trouble that they didn't need to get themselves in okay and so there is a balance row but if you look in the Bible they always dealt with a demonic I mean you look at Ephesians 6 it says we wrestle not against flesh and blood but what are we wrestle against okay principalities powers and and in those things in the high places and and so there is this wrestling match that you are dealing with and some of you you have some family members that are bound to drugs or they're bound to this bound that have you been praying and praying and brain brain and you're not seeing any any sort of break there because it's not an individual problem it's a city problem it's a territorial spirit that you're dealing with which means we the church have to come together and deal with things on those levels to see the individual set free which requires that we actually operate in to get to discerning the spirits okay that's part of it as the church is going from glory to glory this gift gets stronger and stronger I propose that there are people that are getting anointed with this gift they already are and they will continue as strongly as those of reputation who operate in the gifts of miracles the gift of healings okay this get is coming to the coming to the forefront just as strongly and I want to tell you it's a bizarre gift but it's coming and many of you already operate in it maybe you didn't know it I think most of you do but but to a degree you offer it's that little feeling inside of you that says oh you know that that feeling the UH the I don't think so I don't know why but I don't think so I don't like you not feeling okay that's usually the start of it let's start of it there's a whole way of dealing with that but that's usually the start of it it's the oh I'm not going there I'm not gonna do that okay and it could get very strong at times and get very strong and it is one aspect of it is it it is a gift that protects you it really does I was in Southern California don't give the whole story a whole reason what I was doing I was I was looking I was looking at doing something possibly you know in in a particular City I won't name the city I won't give all the details and so one of the things I do when I scout is I can just basically sleep in a city overnight and I can pretty much tell you what's there you know what I'm saying like I can get a grid for it I can I can hear the Lord I can you know what I'm saying so so anyway I thought well I'm just gonna go this particular place and and I'm just gonna stay the night and I was I was looking at you know as some different things and I had some ideas in my mind I thought okay let me let me look at this one place this one city and I'm just gonna stay the night there and then I'll come home you know cuz I was already ministering down in Southern Cal in a way so so anyway and I I came out of this ministry time by this mission I was awesome it's really awesome but it's like the work there was just something else I was just tired I was drained but the ministry was great right you know and thanks to my intercessors and people pray and and you know just the Holy Spirit it was just awesome ministry but I was tired and I was drained but I had this this I was gonna stay the night in this one city because I wanted to check it out you know just to see if God would have something there and so anyway I'm heading into this place okay I'm heading into this this city I noticed they didn't have any hotel inventory so I just bought one of those off chain upper scale hotel rooms you know because when I travels a female I like to be in a safe place so I'll get something a little bit higher scale and so I'm heading into the city now remember I'm very tired so what my spirit and my head are not connected they're not connected but my spirit is still full throttle doing the right thing and this is what rolls out of my mouth and my head's not even registering it it rolls out of my mouth and I'm going to this hotel upper scale more probably see hotel because I want safety traveling as a girl and by myself this is rolling now i bind every sex demon in that room in Jesus mighty name Lord send your angels and go before me and clean this thing up my head didn't even register what came out of my mouth it was like it was like you know those films where there's like this slowmode thing and in like your brains catching up to what your spirits so finally I get into this city and I get to this upper scale higher price hotel that the pictures look really wonderful on the on the website and looking around at these fancy cars in this hotel you know there's fancy cars won't you expect right I'm looking at these fancy cars and looking at this hotel I'm like this place is a dive upper scale or higher price fancy pictures on the on the website fancy cars hotels a dive I'm like why is this place so I actually checked in to through the room and then I went into the room within 30 seconds I walk in there I'm like excuse my language hell no you know and and then I remember what was coming out of my mouth when I went in there and I realize what kind of place it was okay I realize what kind of place it was and if you can't figure that out by now and I'm just like I'm like thank you Jesus for the gift of discerning of spirits okay I wouldn't been able to stay the night there anyway but if I actually slept there my whole dream life I would have like need deliverance by the time I got home I've been calling Katherine Katherine and so one element of this gift is it protects you it protects you God wants you to see what's in the dark so you don't stay in the dark he really does you know and sometimes we miss it sometimes we get where we shouldn't be and and that does happen happens to everybody we all have blind spots physically you know we have blind spots emotionally okay that happens but this one I was so glad cuz I was so weak coming in I was really weak after that ministry time that would have been a bad scene for me I would have been beat up bad coming out of that but the gift of discerning spirits was operating okay you got to listen to that thing a lot of times we get put into a position where we feel like we don't have a choice but we know something's not right you always have a choice never give away your no and all even for add to this a friend will respect your your know just as much as your yes if they don't respect your no they are not your friend okay so what is this gift this gift is one of the nine gifts left listed in first Corinthians 12 there are other gifts of the Holy Spirit I'm not going to go into all of them with you you know throughout the scripture but but we know those nine that they're the supernatural gifts that are that are there in first Corinthians 12 like the like what we saw last night you know the the working of miracles the gifts of healings the word of knowledge okay we saw several of them last night we even this week you know the gift of prophecy you know the the word of wisdom okay all the stuff that was was coming in and so this gift is list is the gift of discerning of spirits now a lot of people mistake this gift and I like to say the whole name just for teaching emphasis okay a lot of people say they get to discernment or you know just I discerned it I like to say just for teaching emphasis the gift of discerning of spirits because I want to clarify something is that I'm not reading you okay this gift is not about reading people externally you know you can tell a lot about people just by how they dress how they hold their head how they speak you know you can tell a lot about people that's not the gift deserting spirits that's natural perception that's not the spirit so you know we want to clarify that and it's really what's what's imperceptible to the natural eye and it's actually the Holy Spirit showing you for a lot of different purposes okay and it's not always negative a lot of people camp on the negative of this gift it's not always negative and and you want a definition it's the ability to discern by the Holy Spirit okay supernaturally what spirit is behind the matter okay whether it's demonic or if it's divine you know something from God or if it's human all right that'd be like human motives and we can actually push that out further but I'll just keep it to that right now human motives and and so it's really the ability to know what's behind things you know well why do I need to know that so that you can't respond intelligently how many business people in the room don't you want to know how to respond intelligently to that deal that came that that hot deal came your way that too good to be true don't you want to know how to respond don't you want to know what's behind that don't you want to know the human motive don't you want to know the spirit behind that you know should I shake hands with that should I not right okay how many of you want to get married yeah you want to get marry don't you want to know no I just want to feel love just make me feel loved okay d-day comes friends okay you might even be the right person and you still might think throw the devil okay oh poor season go get counseling we talked about that all right so so it really tells you what's behind things you said well well you know what's the application has so much application from ministry for ministry purposes like to be straight up with you this gift is probably one of my strongest gifts yes I know I'm a prophet called of God you know all that kind of stuff you think well the prophecies should work strong it it does but this gift is probably one of my primaries and the reality is when I look at people just just right now I see like belief systems in them but the problem is it's hard for me to go there with most people because most people don't want to know that you know that what you know did I say that right and most people want don't want to deal with what they need to deal with most people want to hide the truth especially in church because we perform for each other and we don't really want to be healed because they don't have to show you my alley and it's embarrassing and a lot of us think well I'm gonna heal on my own no you actually heal in the body I mean there's a measure of healing you can have it unless people are involved and that's the hardest thing with this gift because when people find out that you have it they hide from you and they run from you because they think you're gonna judge them and so one of the things with this gift is you can't judge people that doesn't mean you don't you know call call it when it needs to be called it doesn't mean you don't draw boundary lines it doesn't mean as a leader you ignore what what you've discerned it doesn't mean that at all but what it means is no matter what is happening with people I don't judge you now that is easier said than done and you have to practice it and then what happens is you have your own stuff and the Lord makes sure that you know it you know I think this is probably my ultimate year for this you know and where I realize that that people really don't know like you don't really know what's going on with people and they probably don't know either you know what I'm saying and we we judge people so much you know because I heard us they did this they did that and I'm here to tell you you don't know what's going on with them they don't even know what's going on with them all right and which means I have to take a step back and actually be like Jesus and pray them through because he for ever lives to make intercession so your primary default reaction to anything negative you discern in somebody or actually experience that somebody is I will pray redemptive ly for you you said but they did I know well you can Matthew 18 that if that doesn't work I can still pray redemptive ly for you Matthew 18 may not go to my brother I go to my sister I talk it through what did Paul say Misbah mitts Mitzvah Mizpah how do you spell that okay some crazy word I can't say her spell okay all right and so so anyway that with this gift you know that that's kind of like the heart attitude that we have to have and it's the hardest thing we so badly want to judge and toss somebody out and before they've even had a chance to even prove themself because we discerned it and that's the hardest thing with this gift okay because you actually cannot do that it's a gift that's redemptive it's a gift this was to further the kingdom of God it's a gift to advance the kingdom of God when you pray it's awesome because you know what's going on you know what to take authority over and that's where it really it really thrives I think but you can't judge people as this gift operates in you now here's how this gift operates okay I'm gonna put up that Scripture Hebrews 5:14 there we go says but solid food is for the mature who because of practice how their sense is trained to discern good and evil okay but solid food is for the mature who because the practice have their senses trained to discern good and evil so how does this gift work it actually works through your own senses and that's even stranger because it's operating through your senses so most of the time you don't even know you're discerning something you think it's you or you think you're nuts you sit down by a person who truly is insane and all of a sudden you think you're insane you're like man it just got the crazies right now what's going on with me it's not you it's the person you just sat next to but you don't know it because you don't even know you have to get you wouldn't even think to ask the Lord where is this coming from because the assumption is I must be crazy right now let's go to the doctor and take a pill I can't tell you how many people we've recovered from pill taking who have this gift almost every person who has a strong version of this gift has been in the psych unit or at the hospital at least once with an episode of discerning of spirits and not what they thought it was it's okay he said well how do I know I've got to get close to the Holy Spirit I've got to get close to the teacher and I've got to start asking questions I never thought I would have to ask because a lot of us because we're Greek thinking logic people we presume things when we discern things a lot of times we presume we presume a medical diagnosis or we turn it against ourselves when actually it is a it is a call to a dialogue and a call a prayer it is a call to deliverance is a call to ministry and it works through your senses so what does that mean my eyes my ears what I feel my emotions what I smell what I taste no kidding okay so what are you deserting I'm deserting human motivation I'm discerning God I'm deserting the Angelica I'm deserting the demonic by seeing it tasting it smelling it hearing it feeling it and so you walk into a room and also smells like big cookies in here we're worshiping it's not so sweet in here that's Jesus you walk it to another room it smells like a dirty diaper it's the devil somebody needs deliverance okay you walk into a house and all of a sudden you feel like you want to argue and get in an argument with people what did you what did you pick up strife in the home all right and you want to fight - not realizing you just discerned it it's a gift of discerning the spirits operating you and so it stuck when you really capture this Olsson it stops you at every emotion that you feel every taste every everything you feel because now I've got to dissect this as possibly being a point of discernment okay some of you you're like all of a sudden you go - you're traveling through a city also then you get nauseous for no reason that's very common so what am i picking up probably witchcraft so need to go to a church you never been before it all of a sudden your head feels like it's gonna explode like there's a clamp on your head what did you just walk into probably religious tradition or religious witchcraft and you're thinking you just have a headache so what happened to me is I got saved when I was in college and I you know I gave my life to Jesus I truly you know I mean it was the real deal I love Jesus all my heart and I I had no intention to becoming a Christian that was the furthest thing from my mind I just you know you do desperate things when you're desperate and so I went to a church as well and so which is crazy churches crazy Pentecostal churches you know nobody wore makeup they all wore dresses and you know all that and so I call them the holy ladies and but I got saved in that church now the Lord really touched me in that in that kind of environment obviously you know I could tell the makeup thing was gonna be a problem so you know aside from that you know I definitely got saved got baptized in the Holy Spirit I really truly gave my life to Christ and I really began to live for Jesus as best as you know how you know you know because I came from a Mormon environment a heathen Mormon environment and all the stuff that goes along with that and so it's so you know a year into it and again just because of the the background that I had I just don't get all the details but most you know the story we've read the books that I've written but because of that you know a year into my Christianity I was at a prayer meeting at someone's house and the lady looked over at me and she said I see the Spirit of sorcery over you she actually saw into the spirit realm gifted as ernie's spirits she saw the spirit that that still felt it had controlled me now I was saved I was going to heaven baptizing the Holy Spirit you know there's nothing had nothing to do with my salvation it was just that I had agreements with demons that I had never severed and demons don't play fair and if they think they have something on you they'll take you you know that's the thing they they will take you hostage as long as you let them all right whatever they they think they have on you okay so this is where we have to do some work and this is why I believe so strongly in deliverance ministry is because a lot of people come into Christianity they repent of their sins but they don't repent of specific sins you're still saved but you got some untied shoelaces spiritually all right and so literally she sits when she said that something that picked me up with that spirit that spirit picked me up threw me against the wall and I went to a Grand Mall demonic manifestation I'm you can see the reenactment on Sid Roth its they did a good job and so I went to a grandma demonic manifestation I came out of that you know I had to actually really learn my spiritual authority and this is where as earners get in trouble those who have this gift they get in trouble because you don't really know your authority and this is where you get overwhelmed and this is where you know we have to this is where you spin out and we have to clean you up for a while is because you don't really know your authority just because you're discerning something the demon in the room doesn't mean that you are to succumb to it you actually overcome it by the word of the Lord by by your testimony whatever whatever tool you have and your intended to overcome it and overpower and bring his kingdom by by the knowledge of what you discern okay but I didn't know my spiritual authority I have not been taught spiritual warfare I had not been taught deliverance I didn't know anything I just knew this demon was harassing me night and day for about you know three or four months because these ladies they couldn't even get me delivered now these are prayer ladies come on prayer people you know you're gonna be a prayer person get people delivered and so I had to learn my spiritual thirty you know the Word of God you know I have all authority in Jesus name okay so when does this thing in you know it and I prayed night and day this is where I really learned to pray cuz intercessors are birthed in crisis okay and you learn your power and prayer and and you know you're forever an intercessor okay and so I am you know I learned my spiritual authority and I spoke to that spirit just by the unction of the Holy Spirit I just said I'll never serve you I'm gonna serve the Lord Jesus Christ and that's when it broke and I I never dealt with it again but I also got a gift from the Holy Spirit in that moment I'm telling you something when you get delivered a one thing key Holy Spirit gives you another all right it's so true this is why why they have that that verse in Revelations 2 and he's talking to the church that he's you know saying you know you need to overcome Jezebel hello and say and when you do those who overcome they will rule okay so whatever you get delivered from you become the deliverer of whatever you overcome you actually you know the anointing comes on you by the listener he gives you something in exchange and that's where we see your your elevation so don't despise your crisis just don't give in to it okay you got to learn to be an overcomer I'm so tired of seeing defeated intercessors I'm like what is this with this defeat thing on the intercessor space you should be the ones who are overcoming again and again you know sometimes those obstacles are settest because he wants to promote you but you got to learn how to fight something you got to learn how to overcome something all right a lot of us we want the authority without having the fighting it doesn't work that way and so it's kind of like I want to be I want to be a pro weightlifter but you won't even lift the 20 pounds you know won't do the discipline won't do the work and then we don't see the victory and a lot of times you know where we I'm going off on something here a lot of times the the issue is we don't do anything until we're in crisis and that's too late and so you know we've got to get the disciplines in be led by the spirit like what do i what do you want me to learn in this season you know you'll begin to teach you you know this is the season that that you need to you need to focus in on this you know it's focusing on character this season let's focus in on a particular gift of the spirit this season let's focus in on prayer this season don't miss your seasons because he's preparing you for the war that's a head so he can anoint you and elevate you and so anyway what happened to me is I got a gift from the Holy Spirit I'm thinking to match what I was I was you know dealing with to overcome when I was dealing with and it was such a strong version of it I couldn't even function alright and I didn't know that I was gonna be a forerunner of this you know teaching it the way that I teach it and I didn't recognize that so many people did not know how to teach this gift because we just didn't know how to language it we didn't we didn't we were still engineering vocabulary to describe how this gift operates and so you know and I didn't know at the time that this is what the Lord was doing and he sustained me but it was hard because again it functions through your senses what you see what you hear what you feel okay what you smell what you taste and then you go into a shopping mall and everybody's demons are talking okay and their brains are chattering and you're just like you're overwhelmed and you don't know why this is happening you're thinking maybe this is because I just got delivered and this is what happens to people and this will go away and it doesn't go away and then you realize that the Lord is not going to take it away and like you can actually have to learn to ride this surfboard you know and if you don't you know you're done and you think well God wouldn't do that yes he does sometimes he's a throw you in the deep end type of God you know because he needs you for something tomorrow okay and we have this thing where we don't like we don't like discomfort we don't like crisis we don't like spiritual warfare and we kind of think like god that's not fair and he's like I'm preparing you for the elevation have you read your book in heaven that I wrote about you psalm 139:16 have you read that yet okay and and you know what his plans and his purposes for you know I know the plans I have for you okay and so he prepares you well but will you allow yourself to be prepared alright no get me out of this get me out of this I don't know no overcome it alright and so some of you you know who knows with some of these gifts that are in the Bible are gonna look like in 10 years or 20 years because we are going from glory to glory why because the world is getting darker and darker are you ready and so when we get the gift of discerning spirit starts operating on these levels it's because of what's ahead okay I have a book out there to prepare you for what's ahead this version this strength of this anointing is coming on the body of Christ if you don't learn how to stand in this thing you're gonna get swept away all right you're gonna get washed away by either with it or by what's coming and I know that I know that he's anointing people with the strength that we have seen others anointed with healing gifts and miracle gifts I know that because you're not just gonna deliver people out of this gift you will deliver whole cities he said will a nation be saved in a day what do you think is going to undergird this is the intercessors and the deserters okay and then we bring in the miracle people and we bring in the evangelists and all that but first goes in the intercessors intercessors have to operate in this gift well and so so I got this skit and it was overwhelming I didn't know what I had and because I was around enough Christians who were charismatic there was a sense that maybe I had to get discerning of spirits because I saw demons now you see demons you see things of God angels you sense the anointing of the Holy Spirit and people what their motives are you know and a few other things and and and so the but you know my friend who lived across Richmond she suspected I had this gift now she tested me and she said come over and look at my house and tell me if there's anything unclean in my house and the reason she said that is cause she had to go to garage sales oh you know her hobbies you know how women like it like it's not that we can't afford it it's just we want to hunt you know I got 5,000 coupons here I can afford the full price it has nothing to do with full price fast do the hunt okay so she she was all right you know women women hunt differently and and they fish differently you know when you have that baby that's our big fish story right men have their big fish start when we have the baby that's a big fish story you know and I was in labor for 48 hours well I was in labor for a week I had that 16-pound baby natural big fish story all right all right where are my tangents um okay so she suspected that I had this gift right she was a garage sale person and so I came over and she said okay look around tell me if there's anything here in my house you know that I shouldn't have that you think is unclean and I just looking in a living room in kitchen I pointed out like four or five objects that just bothered me they just graded on me you said how can an object radius it would be like this you know in an I mean just very neutral object an object like this and I'm looking at I'm saying this thing is unclean okay I mean it just seems so stupid doesn't it doesn't seem to blame and and she said that's interesting I got all those objects from the same house stupid stuff like this you know things that don't matter but I felt it I felt it and so all she did she felt like this is the right thing to do she's prey and said Laura just consecrate these objects to you and if there's anything attached to it that's not of you I command it to go in Jesus name and that's how she felt led to handle it real simple right but it's not interesting that that something came into her home that maybe that that I could sense had something demonic on it all right that's how that gift works it really it keeps things cleaned up you know it's like it really really lets us see what's in the dark so we can clean things up I don't know about you but I like that I like that and so that's how it kind of began and then again but it was working through my senses and nobody was teaching it that way nobody was teaching that you can taste the spirit of something nobody was teaching that if I if I sat nearby somebody who had a good problem or a bad problem that I would feel it within my own self its if it's mine and and and that nobody was teaching that that if you don't realize you have the gift you will think you're bipolar you will think you're schizophrenic you will probably take yourself to the mental health professional nobody was talking about it like that and I couldn't explain to you because the spiritual realm is full of what intangibles and inexpressible as possible talked about that he went to heaven he says all the stuff here in expressible we're thinking that he's just holding out on us you know it's like secret no no language for it okay that's our problem with the book of Revelation I believe is John is trying to language vision vision language and it's way out in the future and he doesn't know how to describe it and this is probably why we argue about it why we just you know nobody can really understand it is because it's not plain the spiritual realm is the same thing that's why you pray in the spirit that's why you have a prayer language so that you can verbalize things that you have no language for and so the gift of xerneas spirits is is dealing with spiritual things and putting you in the know but you're experiencing things like I don't even know how to explain that and so again that's why I wrote the book was to give you the language I just asked the Lord to give me that ability to language it for you but until that time you just think you're rather nuts and you don't want to talk about it and you don't want to say how you know what you know because you don't even know how you got there you really don't you know I had a funny feeling and a taste in my mouth and a ringing in my ear and that means you know we need to pray this direction I mean it just doesn't make sense you know we want logic we want abc123 you know I love me I was I was on a Facebook live with Ryan was strange you know who that guy is okay so so we were laughing because we were making these comparison and he was talking about how the sears and deserters really trouble him because because of their process you know and he's just like you know I just don't really get what you're saying you know it's something to that effect and I said yeah just put me in the room as Sears all we have to say is I'm feeling something and everybody knows that that mean means we don't have to explain ourselves you know it's understood it's universal language you know I'm feeling something okay and then you have you have them are logical and there's nothing wrong with that linear personalities you want abc123 a descriptive verse and you know we're just fine you know and so if you're gonna talk to people like that you need to know that so you can talk their language and get somewhere but you know the rest of you we don't have a feeling I just got this feeling okay and and so trying to explain those little feelings that we have and it really is a gift from the Holy Spirit and so he is he is awakening this to us he is anointing us with us he is actually giving us teaching for this because he wants to elevate this gift in in the body of Christ but he wants to do it success successfully and so that means we're gonna have to get a new set of muscles if you're gonna flow in this gift fluently and effectively and you want to that means you can't be anything but a word person because if you've lost your peace because you deserve something you better know that he is your piece so you can get back on track right if you're discerning the sickness in another person and you're feeling it within your own so if you better know that he's your healer so you don't take on what's not yours and if you don't even know that you're deserting something because you don't really have a relationship with the Holy Spirit and you're doomed because you're going to take it all on you and you'll never know to sort it yeah and so it really challenges us that we have to be real Christians that if we're gonna actually operate in this gear like I can't play like I've got to be an athlete Christian wise at least you know I've got to be I've got to be a like I've got to treat this like the Apostle Paul said you know that we are running a race and we we have to you know buffett our body and we have to to really focus on being able to carry the weight of an anointing we all like the thought of it but can we actually do it will we actually do it you see people don't realize and I can't I'm not saying that I've got this all down I have my I have my set of issues I'm constantly working on myself and trying to you know work work things through and work things out you know but I for myself at this point it's like I have information coming at me constantly constantly can you imagine being bombarded with information all the time if you don't have the muscle for it you can't handle it and then you're not profitable to the body of Christ you don't advance his kingdom we actually lose you in the process and it's almost like he's challenging us he's saying I'm gonna put this gift on my church because this is where we're going and this is what you need so make a decision today what you're gonna do with this okay you're either gonna go forward in you're gonna go backward cuz he's putting his eyes on the church he's giving his eyes to see in the dark because he wants to awaken cities he wants to awaken nations but he's got to send this gift in to begin to discern and begin to pray pray through things intelligently begin to prophesy intelligently and begin to do the groundwork if we don't have this gift we can't do it okay and so he's preparing the way I feel like this is the real challenge I'm here all kind of looking at me like I don't know I don't know and he said you say why wouldn't you want this if this gift is making it sound like it's painful I'm telling you you have to have this gift because if you don't see what's in the dark the darkness will have you you have to have it so this is kind of like you know where where the line gets drawn in the sand you've got to learn to walk in some anointings okay you say well what if I fail at it okay this is why we're in community this is a gift that you have to actually be in community if you're gonna survive and thrive okay and and so I've got to be in community now I'm gonna have to learn this I'm gonna have to I I can't I can no longer accept the the identity crisis that I've been living with my whole life and walking this gift I'm gonna actually have to get healthy and walk in this if I'm gonna walk in this get okay and what's one of the things when I was kind of looking looking through the room and what I see in so many of you is I see so much rejection that's still talking to you how long are you gonna let that voice talk to you it's been talking to you so long you need to start talking back to it okay that thing's beating you up how long it's like I see but it's like a voice that you have believed that lie for years now and it's time to let some things go you can't walk in gifts like this successfully if we're still tripping up on our identity okay because this is something I have to be able to discern well okay I have to be able to sir know what's mine what's not mine and then I have to know how to carry the weight of it I can't carry this if I'm still broken in my identity how I freaked you out enough and it is true some people like I said they'll go to certain places and it can be a little bit overwhelming this is where we get our muscles in overwhelming seasons with this gift and I pointed to the book I have on my notes I have right here on my page so I keep going like this because I'm I'm looking at my notes I'm like this gift okay is it non-negotiable you've got to get this way with this gift it's a non-negotiable if I get overwhelmed I'm gonna learn how to overcome because I'm going to be profitable in the body of Christ because this is the setup and the preparation right here right I believe you're here for a reason okay good I see more leadership oriented people in you this morning and I see a more mature group I've noticed that in the mornings especially a more mature group coming here and I believe that like this is like the challenge that he's saying you say who will save the cities who will save the nation's who will save the various sectors in in society the various pillars in society who will go after that you've got to have this gift you got to have it amen and so I'm gonna let you stand right now and get some worship going as well the first thing I wanted to deal with though that this thing I mean it's screaming at me remember I'm functions in this gift so I feel it I see it this whole thing about rejection and and again before I pray for you to actually be anointed with this gift I know I pray for people like this all the time you said oh I've been prayed for already with this will get person more get it get a double dose you know and and but this thing with rejection it's like I hear the little voices inside your head saying you're not good you're only this you remember what they did to you and it's almost like it's very painful to you and rejection is painful and I'm here to tell you that that you can actually deny its voice in your life you can't you can tell that person that actually said that whatever to you or did whatever to you you can say bye bye bye bye bye you know forgive him let him go you know and and really remove their voice out of its like it's almost like somebody else is calling the shots on your life still because it's something that was said or done yesterday and and there's a point we have to say enough okay and this is some I know the Lord wants to deal with this because it looks like a weight on you and I could I could see in here its voice inside of you if that's you I want you to come to the front lord wants to deal work with that right now it's not to be ashamed of and it's not just a girl thing it's a it's a male and a female thing you know and and that's right now some of this is like first of all the Lord heals the broken hearts okay so so there is a supernatural dimension to healing of the heart there's also your agreement as well you come in an agreement with the truth and beginning to identify as as a son and a daughter of the king more than you identify with what somebody did to you or said to you okay so there's a decision that we make and then there's also forgiveness now maybe you've already done that maybe you've really forgiven and just let that person go let let that go but you haven't let go of the line okay you forgave them but you still it's like the lie is still at play and it might be a very big deal okay I'm not I'm not minimizing anything that's been done or anything like that okay I've lived through plenty of stuff myself I don't minimize any of it but I do know there's a point where you make a decision and you part ways with it if I'm gonna live my life I'm gonna enjoy my life and I'm gonna be what God called me to be and that thing is not gonna talk to me anymore so I want you to repeat after me Lord Jesus I forgive now go ahead and forgive whoever you need to forgive forgive what needs to be forgiven maybe you forgive yourself [Music] is everybody forgiven forgiven okay now we're gonna break the lie we're gonna break the light whatever that is to you whether it's I'm not good enough nobody loves me you know whatever that is to you we're going to renounce that lie and then we're gonna take the truth which is I am fearfully and wonderfully made King David actually rejoiced over that it was such a revelation to him and clapping wonderful for me oh thank you Jesus you know so right now I want you to go ahead and relinquish the line relinquish shall I give it to him [Music] okay it's not your identity anymore it's not who you are anymore relinquish salat give it up give it up give it up give it up give it up [Music] and I want you to take the truth but you are fearfully and I want you to give yourself permission to believe it some of you it's like you won't give yourself permission to believe that you're awesome [Music] we justify why we can't be awesome no we're gonna justify why we're awesome based on the Word of God he he knows the plans they asked for you plans for good and not for evil plans to give you a future and a hope the only qualifier is that you believe it men that you believe it so based on all this by just command rejection to leave you come out come out rejection go in Jesus name yep rejection rejection leaves you now Wow church comes well shop now [Music] [Applause] [Music] fear [Music] [Music] [Music] you're a teacher [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] now what she's gonna pray for you what's gonna anoint you with this I told you all about you know what you [Music] all workers the rejection [Music] I'm gonna primary Cena's games and you're gonna receive [Music] [Applause] [Music]
