is brought to you by friends and partners of Matt sorghum ministries today on power for life from the MSM archives an interview with missionary Heidi Baker who has only had success in helping the poor in Mozambique because she's learned how to get into the presence of God Oh and show us apart you hi this is Matt Sagar and I want to welcome you to another exciting week here at Power for life today we are in continuation of the interview we had last week with Heidi Baker and you know Heidi has planted more than 5,000 churches in Mozambique Africa she cares for over 2,000 orphans there in Mozambique her life is fruitful for the kingdom of God and there is so much that we are learning from Heidi Baker about how to have an intimate relationship with the Holy Spirit you know I've learned something in my life there have been times where I've had to face some real difficult situations and I thank God today for sending us the Holy Spirit to give us the power we need to overcome no matter what obstacle stands in front of us today I want you to understand the truth God has sent if you have faith in Jesus Christ God has sent the Holy Spirit to be your helper your comforter your guide your teacher to lead you into all truth and to help you overcome in every situation of your life I remember the time when there was a woman in one of our meetings she was hopeless she was angry she was depressed she didn't even want me praying for her yet she had a real severe sickness in her body she had been to the hospital to the doctors they even did gallbladder surgery on her and removed her gallbladder thinking that would help it didn't help she was still just as sick as she was before all the symptoms of pain in her body she had people pray for her but nothing was working and she got to a point where she was so discouraged thinking God didn't even love her and that God didn't even care about her but I remember as I was in this meeting there this lady was sitting before me and Holy Spirit led me to go and pray for her and at first she didn't want me to pray she said I don't believe God wants to heal me I don't believe God can heal me and I said well let me pray for you because even though you feel that right now I believe God is bigger than what your feelings are saying to you and as I began to pray for her the Holy Spirit the power of God anointed me to be able to take authority over the infirmity that was in her life and I'm telling you the truth within a half-hour that woman was totally delivered healed set free revived and refilled with the presence and glory of the holy spirit and that is what the Holy Spirit does for us and I love the scripture in John chapter 16 verse 7 it says however I'm telling you nothing but the truth when I say it is profitable for you that I go away this is Jesus talking about when he's about to leave the earth because if I do not go away the comforter the counselor the helper the Advocate the intercessor the strengthener the standby will not come to you in close fellowship with you but if I go away I'll send in to you to be in close fellowship with you there is an awesome thing that happens when we come into close fellowship with the person of the Holy Spirit and we're going to learn this today as we watch Heidi Baker and what she shares during our interview time with her now this interview was taken at our glory signs and wonders conference here in New York every year we host our glory signs at Wanda's conference where we bring an anointed speakers from all across the nation to share and Minister the Word of God and to bring a place where people can come and experience the person and the glory of the Holy Spirit in their lives and today as you watch this interview I believe it's going to be an awesome blessing to you and you are going to be equipped to have supernatural power in your life today I think that's like that's amazing what you're saying because I know years ago the Lord spoke to me and he said Matt I want you to always remain a little man with a big God you always remain a little man with a big God and and and I've learned I know and I think I've been serving Jesus now 20 years myself I'd say and I've learned in my own journey and I know you've learned this that as we allow the Holy Spirit to possess our lives yeah and as we yield and surrender ourselves to the Lord there's an anointing that flows and there's fruitfulness that's produced in ministry I want to talk for a few minutes right now about true fruitfulness in ministry because some people think activity is fruitfulness some people think the busy they are the more they're doing they're producing fruit for the kingdom of God but what I see is a lot of activity in the church but that doesn't necessarily mean this fruit being produced or even lives being changed and and I know in my own life this was years ago as a pastor and I remember as a pastor I would go into my office and I'd lock myself in my office and sometimes I'd spend 1224 hours just locked along with Jesus and I'd be in the presence of the Holy Spirit and I'd go into the office in the morning and the presence of God we're waiting in the office for me and the Holy Spirit would say Matt shut the door I want to spend the whole day with you and I would just spend the whole day with Jesus and my schedule allowed for it at that time to spend hours and hours and hours and hours in his presence and then one day I felt guilty because I knew of the things I needed to do and I remember saying god I feel guilty and and I remembers people even came to me and said Matt why are you praying so much you know why do you spend so much time in prayer and they didn't understand it they thought it was weird and and and alls I knew is that there was something on the inside of me that said God I can't live without your presence I have to be with you as much as I can and one day when I was feeling guilty about this and I was thinking of all the other things that I needed to get done that day God spoke very clearly to me and this was about I would say eight years eight to ten years ago the Lord spoke this to me he said Matt he said if you do not have this time with me now you will not be able to do what I've called you to do in the future and I realized in that moment that there was something happening in my life as I was just spending hours alone locked away with Jesus no one knew my name I wasn't looking for a ministry I was just looking for God and and God gave a revelation to my heart Matt if you don't have this time with me now you not be able to do what I have called you to do in the days ahead and and I learned that out of that flow of the well of God within me and having a lifestyle of practicing his presence that miracles would happen and sick people would be healed and people who would normally need counseling for twenty years would be delivered in five minutes and I saw the fruit being produced can you share a little bit about that about in your own life how you have how you have walked that out and learned the secret to really not just being active but producing fruit in your life and in your ministry well I can't I can't produce any fruit that's for sure it's all about intimacy you know it's it flows from him and fruitfulness flows from intimacy so the busier I get the more time I need I keep I keep realizing the busier I get the more things I have to do the more I have to learn to say no to people and things and yes to Holy Spirit Hey like if we'll stay in the presence holy more will happen in five minutes than previously five years if we'll stay in the Holy Spirit if he will do things like you know he'll open deaf ears he'll open blind eyes and you can't make that happen write it in your schedule you know let's have let's have the blind eyes open you know but as you love Jesus like how you heard him in that secret place that's the life that's the life we live and then he says now I want you to go get my lost Makua bride I want you to go to New York for a day I want you to go to s Becca Stan and hug people I want you to I I mean he'll just talk to you in the secret place and then you obey so it's this intimate love that you have and this might this might tweak some people but well my goal is not even the fruitfulness my goal is intimacy yeah my goal is the is the presence that intimate love with Jesus and fruit happens yeah it's just there Wow it's just there and God likes it yeah I just feel like God wants to wreck you like he just wants to undo you I feel I say the largest unlacing people tonight like unlacing people I see the Lord and he's like undoing the laces and I I don't understand all that that means how except for that Wow for those of you in this room and those of you watching there's something tonight about God undoing you he's like undoing you living in the power of the kingdom on earth as it is in heaven you know Jesus taught his disciples to pray he said pray that my will be done and my kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven what does that mean that means that the dimensions of heaven the realms of heaven God desires to make us a portal a gateway whatever terminology you want to use a a point of contact where that which is in heaven comes down through us because with a house and temple of God the presence of heaven the presence of the Holy Spirit within us is then released through us into the earthly dimension into the earthly realm now I know as Christians God has called us the Bible is very clear now we are to be salt and light in the earth part of being salt and light means that the kingdom of God that is within us is expressed through us to impact every dimension of society every realm of society government education business every realm the financial markets whatever is in the earthly dimension I believe can be influenced by the realm of heaven by the kingdom of God in you and through you so in this teaching series we're going to learn how to live in the power of God's kingdom you're going to learn about the foundation of the kingdom you're going to learn your place in the kingdom and you're going to learn about kingdom take over kingdom take over that means you take the power of the kingdom within you and go into society where ever you are Monday through Friday in your day to day light and see the power of the kingdom expressed through you to then transform the kingdoms of this world until the kingdom of our God is exalted and lifted up in the earth order your three CD set today with your

be here with you I'm glad you're here Oh Shabba yeah hey in a day you see this message needs to go out because in a day where people are running after names they're running after to be something they want Fame they want popularity they want all these things but they're missing the heart of God the heart of God is were laid down lovers it's just his presence I mean you know I rather living in cave I rather live in a cave alone worshiping but as I get inside his heart he says you can't live in the cave all the time I'm asking you to go out and find my lost find my broken but the only reason I ever emerge from that secret heavy glory which is my life you know that presence i justa berge from it to go into the darkness to bring people into that place ministry can't be about anything else it can't you know if it's dying let it die you know if it's striving let it die let it all die unless it's God unless it's presence let it die yeah yeah you know show don't go unless you go in the present yeah don't even think about it don't even do it don't do a show don't do it conference Oh unless to the presence laughs hang it yeah some people are are Purpose Driven some people are goal driven some people are self driven but what we're talking about as being presence driven that if it's not about Jesus and if it's not his presence and if it's not birthed out of that place let it die yeah I think that's who I think that's the word Hey for some folks watching today they've been striving to make something happen just let it die and just get alone with Jesus and let his presence release life through you yeah and then the purity he'll release what's pure say Shaba we're trying to wear other people's shoes and they look like clown shoes we try to wear somebody else's anointing you know if I try to walk in your shoes I'll look silly you try to walk in mind you should try walking these yeah you know you're gonna look ridiculous but people are walking around in ministry trying to be like somebody they're not and they wonder why they trip and fall they're wearing the wrong shoes Wow you have to wear what fits you the anointing that fits you and when you're in the holy place hey did you hear I don't say yeah I need you to go here do that interview like oh and then the strivings gone Wow Heidi that's that is such a a revelation right there because how many times as people do we compare ourselves to other people or to other ministries and we say oh I wish I was like that or or Lord I wish you use me in this way and we try to put other people's shoes on and we and all we try to like David wearing Saul's armor he said I can't put this armor on it doesn't fit me it hasn't been tested in my life and and and he had a take off Saul's honor and I think there's some folks watching today they need to take off Saul's armor they're trying to be something because that's what they think that they need to be or that's what they think people want them to be rather than just being who Jesus wants them to be and letting the unique ministry or the unique way God wants to express himself through them being released yeah right yeah you've got your shoes I've got my shoes everyone has their unique their uniqueness and the way that God releases his life through them and he likes that he likes it he doesn't like carbon copies no we're all sons and daughters well what if your kids were all exactly little little robots what if you named them all the same name and they all dressed alike had the same hair it'd be a really really bizarre world with you we were supposed to be every sudden daughters different and we're all beautiful and He loves us that he's like he'll do anything for us He loves us he just wants us to be who he called us to be right and then it's freedom and joy and the strivings gone the strivings gone yeah the striving is gone I love just like in a normal family a father and a mother wouldn't want all of their kids to be exactly identical all wearing the same clothes the same haircut the same height yet this you know the same looks you know just little clones of each other you know each child and a family is different and it's the same in the kingdom of God we're all unique and different yeah and God has made it that way on purpose and it's beautiful it's a beautiful family the body of Christ hey it's supposed to be a family that's right so we're supposed to be different that's right and you know what happens as every person is themselves in Christ all together is the full picture of who Jesus is right the full body of Christ right not a hand trying to be a foot or a foot trying to be an arm but everybody is in there place in the body and then you see the full picture of who Jesus is mm-hmm and so that's awesome I love it as glorious that's where the freedom comes there's freedom in that yeah there's freedom in that is there's no striving you're not trying to be something no just being you just be you you in the intimate realm just loving him whatever he says it's all joy praise God you know I just want to really encourage the folks that are watching Heidi you know God is just speaking here and I know this is a prophetic word for somebody watching today the Lord does not want you to strive God doesn't want you to try to be something that you're not God created you with your personality he created you with the gifts on the inside of you that he's put there he's given you a measure of grace a measure of faith and the word of the Lord to you today is just be yourself stop comparing yourself with other people stop trying to be something you think other people want you to be or who you think you should be just let Jesus manifest himself through you in the unique way that he's created you to be and in that place is freedom there's joy there's no striving and there's just a flow of God that happens in your life and all together people will see Jesus through his church that's awesome we spend the
