daughter but you have two great um what are their names april and sylvia sophia wonderful um i just i feel like you i saw cheryl praying and i feel like you're a woman of prayer you get work done in the spirit and i i just wow i just want you to know that the lord says thank you for warring in the spirit and it might not be you might not be leading um prayer rooms but i saw you actually leading prayer rooms in heaven and when you walk around your closet or your room you have like a spot that you go to to spend time with the lord do you yeah you you get work done there so do not stop when you're praying over your daughters is actually it's going to come to fruition i'm the result of a praying mother she prayed me back to the lord wow i don't expose your daughters but i feel like if there's one of them or both of them that you're praying to come back to the lord i just wow thank you lord there it is yeah that's it there she's going to come back to the lord so we thank you for your daughter right now would you just extend your hands out to her we want to pray for her daughter we agree right now with cheryl we agree in the spirit we call your wonderful daughter home i pray that she would have a radical encounter with the love of the father and that she would wake up out of dreams in the night well i pray she would wake up from deep encounters with jesus christ she would experience the real love of a father and she would come running back home to my thank you for cheryl i thank you for the warfare she's done and the spirit and i ask that you would fill her to overflowing right now that this this is not just enough to get by your words are not just enough to get by they're getting things done in your daughter's life we say yes to coming home this year in jesus name yeah [Music] yeah and we just declare along with that this is a year of homecoming for those who are away from god so if you have a if you have one that's away just like that then i want you to stand real quick we're going to pray over you come on that that's we don't want to wait any longer god would you terrorize them with your kindness would you find them with your goodness would you apprehend them just crazy crazy encounters whether they're in starbucks they're at the pizza place they're at the gas station god you would send people where they couldn't get through a day without hearing something of your goodness something of your kindness that even a long-term pain and unforgiveness that is there in their hearts an inability to reconnect god you would do something even dreams and visions in the night that you would apprehend them in jesus name and we declare breakthrough and homecoming this year in jesus name yeah that's really good there's a lady you are putting your bl your your coat on your lap right yes in the salmon yes would you stand [Applause] [Music] [Applause] i just i i'm giving you a moment because i know you're putting your phone on record i saw the lord um begin to challenge you with the words he's spoken over you um and i saw in your closet or a bin full of journals or books where you've written down the words from the lord and he's saying this is the hour to contend for them this is the hour to fight for them by re-reading them and when situations arise that look like they are counter those words and you say god you said and as i also see you like in the back seat of a car the lord said we're going to disney world that's the better one but okay so we're going to disney world and and it doesn't look like you're going in that direction and so you say um excuse me you said we were going to disney world well that's how you need to treat your prophetic words come on because the lord is elevating your voice and the first place where you're going to take authority is in your own dreams and your own destiny so it is not time to sit back and wait for the lord to make them happen it's time to pull them out again read them and then say to the lord you said this is the word of the lord over myself you said god and you're going to start to see those things multiply in um in uh number the more you're gonna get more words the more faithful you are with the ones you've gotten and you're also gonna see accelerated manifestation this is the year so you have to start now yeah lord i thank you that you are raising her influence and her level of authority first in her house and then into her own judea god you're taking her out so that people will see her own life reflecting her words and they'll begin to give authority and influence into their own um situations through her god i thank you that you want to speak through her and you want her words to begin to mature into manifestation we say yes and amen to it in the name of jesus yeah yeah okay this one might be for a few people but i just saw people struggling with just really just attack on their their rest attack on their dream life so if that's you can stand yay no more no more in jesus name all right god i just i thank you that you are the king of shalom you're the king of shalom we speak shalom over every dream life every person here as they're sleeping oh i just hear the father say dreams are reserved for me speaking to my kids alone and that is it and the other voice gets silenced right now in jesus name we claim that that sleep will be restful that bodies will be healed when you wake up you will feel rejuvenated and restored every cell of your body would come into alignment with shalom peace right now including your dreams and tonight i just see my kids always say we're going to dream of cotton candy slides so i release cotton candy slide like dreams over you wonderful wonderful joy-like kid-like dreams where you feel like the father is speaking directly to you and in jesus name that's good you want to do one more meal yeah i it's a very short word you have the green hat on with the yellow bill it's a very short word i know you okay well it's still your word the lord says you're on the winning side come on you've been wrestling with a decision about where to stand on a certain situation and the lord says you're standing where i want you so stay right there you're on the winning side that's good that's the word bless you sir yeah yeah are we done um this gentleman with the really nice haircut and the beard the like real nice haircut no you yeah you oh yeah you're not right here yeah yeah um i i i saw you uh in worship and i looked back and i had to double take i'm like oh james hath shaved his head um and i james is a friend of mine but he has a daughter named poppy and when i was thinking about it i saw actually a poppy a red poppy over your head and i saw this salvation evangelistic anointing over your life and i saw it begin to re rain like these poppy uh petals over you and your family and i feel like god says there's salvation for your whole family and and and that that what you're doing is setting a standard for the generations and uh and there's going to be there's a real spirit of adoption on you as well a real heart for adoption when i saw this picture i've i felt like uh i have a crazy quilt that my grandma did for me and it's got all these crazy stitches for each of the different patches and i feel like there's an ability for you to create family out of out of some real crazy situations and that god actually has created almost like an ability to do surgery to reconnect things and to bring things together you have a bridge builder anointing and part of part of this is is really this is a generational ministry that you're going to step into and i it's almost like you know jesus how he brought these 12 crazy guys together i feel like you have that kind of anointing to bring craziness together and make something that's going to create a harvest that the world has yet seen so we bless you in that in jesus name you got one more okay go camila's got one more i saw that look in her eyes and a blue shirt with a black t-shirt yes you're looking down at yourself yes you sir yes um i just saw people holding your arms up like moses and that tells me that the lord says you've been faithful but that you um are about to get a new refreshing from him that he's surrounding you with the people who know what to do who have the strength and the faithfulness to see your vision and to hold your arms up so that you can see it through to the end he says thank you for your faithfulness thank you for the father that you are thank you for the way that you have looked on the battle and continue to intercede and he's saying i'm sending you support you're about to see the winning things the winning side that you've been standing on begin to um to turn the tides of the battle that you've been watching so speak continue to speak and continue to intercede the lord is lifting your arms and sending you a team to help you come on thank you guys can i have one of those mike dave hill why don't you come up here this morning dave uh shared something in our staff prayer time and the moment he shared it i i thought about tonight and i'm like there are people going to be watching tonight who are going through this same exact situation that dave and his wife went through and i just asked him will you come and share that real quick and we're going to just release breakthrough for those of you that are struggling through this exact situation so um so yeah i'm i have one wife which is enough thank you and we and two girls in about 10 years almost 10 years of the day we moved from london to manchester to english cities and um thank you and uh but almost to the day that we moved to manchester um we uh my wife had a breakdown and um it was like a divine setup we just to say the lord really guided us with that move we knew that it was the right place to go but um just a kind of combination of different things it became a very hard time and i was in ministry the lord really blessed the ministry but my eyes were kind of on the family my um uh some she just she just couldn't cope with the stress of day-to-day life just to say by the way she's happy with me sharing this in case you're wondering um we asked permission we did yeah we're smart we're super smart yeah we know we know happy wife yeah happy life yes we know that there's still a lot that's um team so one wife yeah anyway um so uh anyway where was i so yeah it was a really hard time and um and i couldn't i felt i felt completely powerless in it i couldn't um i couldn't protect my wife from what she was going through i couldn't protect my kids from seeing their mom on the floor crying day after day i um if i could have gone back i would have gone back but there was just no way there was no way back the only the only step was forward and so it was either forward with the lord or forward without there wasn't a choice it wasn't really a good choice and um it was just such a it was just such a painful time and the only thing that we didn't even know how to connect jules and i and actually the way that we connected the only way we could connect really was to tune in to bethel i think this house has an authority and an anointing to speak to mental health to bring hope where people feel hopeless and i don't know if that's what brought you here but that's what brought us here and um so we just tuned into the message every week over and over again the worship sets over and over again we would gather around the iphone um or or the piano and we just would worship and that'd be the only way that we could take the next step take the next step and um and just to say it was here that i learned to hope you know it's the but we don't get hope from just having a dream and then it being fulfilled it was it's suffering produces perseverance perseverance character and character hope and so we were in a place of suffering and we chose to partner with the lord in that place of suffering and we developed perseverance and then before we knew we we developed character and then we learned to hope and i kind of learned that hope was a person that he was jesus and actually i met him i met him i i knew him but i bet i met him more and um and that's what brought us here and so i think you know i learned to fight for hope for me i learned to fight for hope for my family and now i get to fight for the hope of children in this place which is just amazing but i kind of just wanted to say that we we still fight for hope as a family um but we have a um we sorry i got so distracted by that nice kind of ringtone the santa i thought i was in the jungle for a minute um we we learned to fight we learned to fight for hope and i i can't wait to say that we have waves of just of just seeing the lord's goodness in our life just can't believe what the lord's done i never intended to be here but we just see the lord's goodness and i kind of just wanted to share that because i don't know if you feel like there's no next step there's no i don't know how to take another step forward but if you do i want to say that um do not grow weary of doing good for at the proper time you will reap a harvest if you do not faint don't faint yeah because there's something good coming just keep taking another step and the lord is with you and in fact the lord is the prize at the end of the journey and on the journey that's good and let's let's do this if that's you and and you feel confident enough to put that in the chat then go ahead and put that in the chat right now and then i also felt like there's some of you potentially in the room that is going through that and there's we don't want to uh put anyone any pressure on you or undo attention but i felt the ferocity of the holy spirit on on dave and and his testimony and i felt like holy spirit was hovering over you and and over your rooms and and and we're we're believing this breaks now that actually the spirit that has kept you crippled uh whether it was uh started through trauma whatever it was on that holy spirit is coming to deliver you so um if if if you're if you're feeling that in the room and you're like that that's been me and i've been through this long term deal and struggle and and you if you want to stand uh we we would invite you to stand right now because we're gonna we're gonna pray over you yes um good i'm just waiting a second because sometimes yeah this is what happens this is the flood and for those of you online right in the chat they want you to just pray deliverance pla pray break through the the fire of the holy spirit jesus stretch out your hands to these if you're next to one god we just say that you are the god of all comfort you are the lifter of our heads but from your perspective there is hope and we just declare hope every single situation we just declare hope there is hope over you i just pray that you would be able to see things from heaven's perspective that you would see god with you now yeah that even this evening you would you would sense a strength that wasn't there before because you know that god is with you god is with you right in this situation hope hope to you hope to you shackles be broken fall off shackles in jesus name shackles fall off in jesus name we just bind mental illness mental health emotional health we bind it we command it to be gone in the name of jesus it's a liar it's a liar we just say that jesus is hope he's the person of hope and he is with you and we declare there is hope with you jesus is with you yeah emotions be still yes may you know jesus calming you may you know the the chaos being shattered by the shalom by the prince of peace jesus name peace to you yeah amen and winter is over the springtime has come it's a new season for you in jesus name thank you thank you for sharing that ah it's only gonna get better god's doing stuff and that's amazing i look over here i see kim kim koch she ran up to me she runs all of our prophetic sessions ministry here and uh and she ran up to me and she's like don't forget the germans so germans if you're in the room stand up if you're online germany this wow we got a lot of germans in the room come on come on and this is uh um for all you germans who are watching or will watch as well um you know we were talking uh last week in our staff meetings uh about these prophetic words that have been given over a house about uh different birds and uh and there's one in particular called the eagle which is you know on your flag so it's kind of important um but bob jones released a word uh a long time ago that this would be called an eagle's nest that i think the next year after he prophesied that two a mating pair of eagles started a nest over by turtle bay and uh and we've had those eagles here uh every year who may and and and lay the eggs and have babies every year and this year there was actually three eggs laid and i believe god is releasing the triple blessing anointing over your nation and you're gonna see it god's gonna confirm things with the number three he's gonna actually do testimony and then testimony and then testimony so don't let it stop at one breakthrough expect the double breakthrough and then the triple blessing breakthrough i think this is a movement of the father the son and the holy spirit over your nation god's going to break through in ways you've never seen before and we declare that because it's unto not just salvation but the salvation of a nation but the salvation of nations and and god has called you to have prophetic insight and foresight just like the eagle sees above that you would see above things and you'd have the strategies of heaven for situations and issues facing the world and we release grace over you to see from heaven's perspective even over your own situations your own ministries your own families grace in jesus name amen say god bless germany say it again do it three times come on triple blessing anointing hey i wanted to follow up bill bill spoke this morning about prayer and i wanted to honor his point and i want to talk about intimacy prayer and the prophetic and how they're uniquely connected how they're uniquely intertwined some years ago i was in my office upstairs when i was a revival group pastor as a revival group pastor in first year school of ministry for seven years i never graduated they never let me graduate first year in the second year or third year but you know uh i i had fun and i i was upstairs and i was doing a little devotions how many of you liked your devotions reading the bible anyone bring their bible to church tonight let me see your bible come on yeah some of you got the old school ones some of you got the new school ones your phone yeah i like the papers i like the sound i like the feel i like that ah holy spirit feel it come on and you know i've got a lot of different bibles and versions and everything but i always go back to the old one it's it's just got all my notes and i i don't want to transfer all the notes into another one it's just like this is this is the one this is the one forever i might need to get it rebound it's a little it's been hugged a lot loved i like that jamilah good job love well i was sitting upstairs and i'm reading the bible and i was reading through the book of acts and i'm reading about revival and all of these guys rocking revival and amazing times and i don't know about you but i read the bible this way it's almost like uh you know in the hospital they hook you up to those machines that have the heartbeat monitor you know the boop boop boop means you're alive right and so i'm re i read the bible this way i i read the bible and i get these boop boop boop and then i get spikes like a real high one i'm like ooh that was good that's holy spirit i i need to pay attention to that and i see where where where the word of god the the the logos the written word becomes the rhema word of god the the the god breathed like it's his own words it's living it's alive right now and i'm looking for those moments where it just kind of leaps off the page and i just kind of mark it there and i mark it there and then i i go back and i marinate in that i just spend time on that and i read it over and over and this one time i'm reading a story out of acts chapter 19. it's about the seven sons of skiva have you ever written read that story yeah it's a good story uh uh it's but it's crazy story so it's a little bit kind of scary and it's a good warning here's the deal you've got these seven brothers the sons of skiva and and and skiva is a jewish chief priest or high priest this guy uh is an important dude right and the sons they hear about all of this revival stuff going on and they want to get in on revival they want to get in on the stuff and they figure out some some deal like oh you know what um you know we see all of these breakthroughs happening we see people getting healed we see people getting saved we get see people being delivered of demons this is amazing what if we could do the same thing so we pick it up in acts chapter 19 verses 13 through 16 and i'll read the story and then i'll talk through a little bit about my devotion time with jesus that moment some jews who went around driving out evil spirits tried to invoke the name of the lord jesus over those who were demon-possessed they would say in the name of jesus whom paul preaches i command you to come out seven sons of skiva jewish chief priest were doing this and one day the evil spirit answered them hmm that's interesting jesus i know the evil spirit said and paul i know about but who are you then the man who had the evil spirit jumped on them overpowered them and gave them such a beating that they ran out of the house naked and bleeding now i don't know if you've ever been beat up in your life but that sounds pretty severe have you ever had a beating where you they beat the clothes off of you that's an intense beating this is that situation and for some reason this story was one of those stories that left off the page to me i i was like oh there's something important here and i got done reading it again and then jesus like he does in such a not gentle way hit me over the head with a two by four of revelation it gave me a revelation bump and he said this he said ben why do you pray in jesus name oh oh darn i knew he was getting at something i i knew he was getting at something that i had taken for granted my whole life see i was raised in the church i i loved praying but um god was getting at something when he said ben why do you pray in jesus name and i'm like well you know because then the devil has to listen to me and jesus said oh he does did the devils listen to these guys i'm like oh he's like why else do you pray in jesus name i'm like you know well because i think maybe maybe potentially you'll listen to me and then i begin to rehearse all the different prayers i've prayed in jesus name and you know who's trying to convince the devil you know you've seen him on the prayer line i said in jesus name get behind me satan in jesus name jesus maybe if i like do the donna da silva right in jesus name and i just saw myself trying to convince the devil and then i saw myself pleading with god god in jesus name don't you see what's going on here don't embarrass me in jesus name come on let's do this remember pals tag you're in jesus name and i just a little bit but you you guys laugh because it's i i hear that little uncomfortable laughter you're like he knows yeah i know i lived it see the thing with the seven sons of skeva they thought they had the magic words they thought it figured it out oh we figured out how paul does that he says these words we've got the formula in jesus name if i just pray in jesus name it's going to happen but the problem is in jesus name isn't magic words in jesus name is actually a relational context it speaks of my authority based on my connections see see the devils understood the connection that paul had with jesus he had his own personal relationship well wait the seven sons of skiva you know their dad was a jewish high priest this guy's a big deal come on you should listen their dads a big deal i can't live on my dad's relationship with god i can't live on my mom's relationship with god just because your last name is johnson or valatin like i can't live on the fact that bill has a relationship with god so oh i go to his church so the devil has to listen to me no i've got to have my own personal intimate relationship with god and it sent me on this journey and and i'm not saying praying the the words in jesus name is wrong i'm not saying that at all you can pray that to your heart's content but i'm asking do you really pray from that position of relationship with him when you say it and i went on a journey for about two years of intentionally praying from in jesus name without saying in jesus name i align my heart with something and i started seeing something happen breakthrough breakthrough because it's all about intimacy it's all about our connection that is what gives us authority am i really sent by god yes i am many times we're we're stuck on this idea of just like okay if i okay tell me what i'm supposed to do okay chuck perry does it this way okay so i'm going to be a good robot or the good puppet but god's not looking for puppets he's looking for a personal relationship and what works for chuck doesn't always work for you yes there are principles from scripture about healing i was reading in matthew this this morning it was just so highlighted in multiple spots where jesus just touched them grabbed them and they were healed and then he declared something but first he touched them and they were it's like oh there's the laying on of hands okay formula no what's god saying right now what's the now word of the lord and he invites us in that otherwise i get stuck with like oh it worked this way last time i'm gonna try it this way this time and that that's okay if god's not speaking like i go back to those foundations that i learned in god and i do the same thing over again if god's not if there's not a now word then i go back to the sad spoken word what did he say okay i'm going to do it that way and there and there's crazy times i i remember a guy named francesco sedelli you guys know francesco he's our creative arts director love francesco he had a creative idea one time he's like oh yeah you know peter's shadow healed people so he brought a flashlight to one of his ministry trips can he shine the flood i know it worked people got healed i'm just saying he had a now word partnered on something the what-ifs of god well if god you could do it there but maybe you could do it in me too and there's this partnership of intimacy that god is releasing us into and and and we pray from that place and we prophesy from that place of intimacy i like to share the story with that's in the bible it's a good one uh you know about john the beloved right the guy who bragged about how much jesus loved him remember at the the uh the last supper they're all eating having a great meal having tons of fun and they're just like wine bread stuff you know they obviously it was it's in the story they were having that um they're having a good time and then all of a sudden jesus drops a bomb in the room and says oh by the way hey one of you guys are going to betray me we were just having are you we are having a great meal and you're gonna say that like and everyone's like which one and peter the guy who loves information right he loves information he wants to be in the know all the time he recognizes something really special and gabe's gonna love this so gabe come up here but you got a beard so you look like more like jesus than i do come on tonight you're the chosen all right so so you know dave ward you you can be peter you want to know you want to know information so he's over he you can stand over here we're having supper peter wants to know information right i'm jesus you're jesus yeah he's peter stay stay here well well peter wants information right so what's he do he says to john the beloved the guy who's laying on jesus's chest see that see that he wants information but he knows access to information only comes from intimacy [Applause] and see let me see show you something he knows this if my ear is right here where's my ear close to yeah jesus's heart and my other ear is close to his that's right see because intimacy gives you access to god's heart and his voice peter knew something thank you guys you did awesome gabe that was a great jesus i felt i felt the comfort of your beard say good job dad cruz no yeah yeah good job and i i love the way that god does things through people who pray consistently see it's the intimate ones that god shares secrets with but many times we think secrets are for prophesying declaring oh i i got a word from the lord guess what god told me and we like to kind of blab it out but not everything that god shares is for prophecy right then it may be for prophecy in the future but sometimes he declares it to you to see what you'll do with it and see god's intimate ones take what's important to god and say god i'll make that important to me through intercession i will begin to pray that some years ago i was helping with a church actually bill's brother bob johnson uh we started a church here in redding california before bill came and and took over uh here at bethel church called frontline frontline international church we were prophesying we were international before we were international but we hey we had done missions trips overseas so we're international come on we're doing it we're doing this stuff front line international church and i remember we had a guy named bill wilson come speak at our church any of you ever heard of bill wilson incredible man he's the guy that invented sidewalk sunday school this guy's amazing yeah and this guy's is amazing and great with kids but he's intense this guy is like intense guy and he's at our church and he looks at you and you know he's been severely beaten out on this the streets of new york you know beaten with bricks and his face is pretty beat up from broken bones in his face having to i think drink through a straw for a while from severe beatings because he loves people so much and just like i'm gonna go into crazy places and he was there at the church and he said uh he said everyone i want you to ask god for a city ask god for a city and we're going to pray for a city and i don't know if he was talking about he asked god for a city just for this service or for the rest of your life i don't know but i just took that and god didn't give me one city he gave me two cities he gave me chicago illinois and belfast ireland and i chose from that day to pray for those two cities and i i just continue to pray and there's something that happens in prayer that transforms me and my value system for those places that i pray for those people that i pray for those situations that i pray into and the longer i pray the more i have god's heart for those places and the more the authority of god comes on my life and it transforms my ability to partner with those communities and i prayed for 22 years 22 straight years before i ever got an invitation to one of those cities and i finally got an invitation to preach in belfast city center and i walked into the place and i'm gonna do a prophetic conference for this belfast city center vineyard and i write in the heart of belfast and i'm like god this is this is what i've prayed for for 22 years and it was such an exciting time and i walked into the pastor's office in in uh the second floor uh of the building and i walk into his office and he's got a map of chicago illinois on the wall he's like yeah i was raised just outside of chicago a little suburb of chicago and 17 years ago god called me as a missionary so i had been praying for five years and now i'm 22 years in praying and i'm like oh my goodness i've been praying for both these cities do you know how much favor i had in that place because i had 22 years worth of investment and value for a city and i had 22 years of prophetic words gathered inside of me through prayer and intercession to value see i think god drops words inside of us because he's waiting for us to partner with it so we can be transformed to bring authority to those things that god wants to establish on the earth and sometimes we just declare the word and walk away we just declare the word and walk away and i think god's looking for mothers and fathers who have a longer-term investment in the children these children these prophetic words these seeds that god plants inside of us do we develop them do we grow them i had a another encounter i was in austria come on god bless austria i was in austria some years ago and uh i had this crazy dream in austria i i'm a dreamer how many dreamers we have in here come to dream life we'll have fun together learn to interpret our dreams and in the dream we ha i i i was in this kind of austrian hillside you know hills are alive with the sound of music it kind of felt like that kind of thing beautiful greenery and going a nice gradual slope up the hill and was set up for this great epic picnic like this banquet and it was set up and someone over here was setting up a keyboard because they were going to have worship at the picnic i don't know there was pastors at the top of the hill and i i knew right away these are japanese pastors and i i i look up there some guy comes running down the hill and says hey these japanese pastors want to meet you and i said okay so they take me up the hill and i walk up the hill in the dream and they introduced me to this head pastor and he says hello my name is c peter wagner now you need to know see peter wagner is not japanese so i i didn't know much of see peter wagner at that point i just knew he wasn't japanese and i so this was a little uh weird in the dream but dreams are dreams and they can do all kinds of things that this doesn't do and i have in this dream i'm like wow why see peter wagner what's this and he starts singing a nursery rhyme you're like brent ben this is getting deep like what what are we talking about he starts singing a nursery rhyme and it gets to the end of the nursery rhyme well first sorry i got ahead of myself first when he introduced me himself to me he says i'm seeing peter wagner he reaches around me and gives me a hug like my dad would give me a hug like i could feel the whiskers on his face and i felt the comfort of a father and he held me and he just sat there for a minute and then he pulled away and he looks at me and he begins to sing this nursery rhyme and he gets to the end of it and it says ash's ashes we all fall down and he falls down on the ground and starts laughing hysterically kind of like what you would do ben wilson like i'm like what is going on and i look at him and i just fall on the ground with him and we're rolling on the ground laughing together and i wake up and i think lord of the dance what was that all about what was that all about but i know god is is the god of mysteries and he speaks in these wonderful weird languages that i don't fully understand all the time and it's an invitation to conversation he's inviting me into a conversation with him he's inviting me into intimacy and i began to ask god god what what what what was that all about what does see peter wagner have to do with japan and why would i have this in austria of all places and i'm trying to so i go to my good friend google and i said what does see peter wagner and japan have in common and i found out in the late 80s see peter wagner released a prophetic word over japan he said that 10 million souls were going to be saved in japan in the decade of the 90s now that's pretty amazing that's pretty exciting i'm like oh this is important but i continued to read and it said one of his greatest frustrations was that that never came to pass and i said god why are you telling me this he says because i want it to come to pass and he says do you know why it didn't come to pass ben i said no god i don't would you tell me and he said sure he said part of it was in the dream number one there was a strategy that needed to be released it's the restoration of the generations it's the restorations of the fathers to the children remember his hug something was lost in world war ii when when a bunch of fathers went off to war and never came home and and and then and they said and then you know unless you come to me like a little child right falling on the ground laughing this this restoration of the generation and this childlike mentality this childlike heart towards god so i began to pray into this and pray into this see peter wagner thing and and this 10 million soul harvest and i'm like god okay it never happened why else didn't happen he said because there were a ton of people who didn't realize that it was a prophetic word from me because it came in a package that they couldn't recognize number one see peter wagner was known as a teacher not a prophet and so the church when they heard that prophetic word they sat back and said we'll see we'll see if it's god we'll see if that really is but see that's not the heart of a prophetic community the heart of a prophetic community is when we hear the prophetic word no matter who released it when we hear the voice of the lord it actually attracts us it quickens us and says okay now we will pray and make sure that thing is established we will pray until it's established and see i think there's a lot of prophetic words that have yet to be apprehended and the timing people say oh their timing was off no people didn't pray people judged a word and were sitting back in judgment rather than the word getting them accelerated into partnering with what god says and part of the transformation happens when i get alive with what god declared and i begin to pray into it i start getting strategies i start getting solutions i start getting ideas finances start flowing towards that thing and now the thing that was reserved for another time gets accelerated and many times can happen before the timing because why we honored the prophetic word through prayer and intercession and i believe it's time for the church to stop waiting to see if prophetic words come to pass if you know it's in the heart of god and our fathers and mothers declare something it is our mandate to pray into it it is our mandate to intercede why because the more i intercede the more authority we get in our own life to apprehend what god has declared for us so i began to pray i'm like god why would you get a guy who was raised in weaverville california and you put him in austria to have a dream about see peter wagner and japan i don't know why but you must think my prayers are important so i am going to pray so i begin to pray and i pray for five years and i get invited to korea i'm getting closer getting closer i get invited to korea and now i'm in korea at the see peter wagner learning institute doing a seminar on the prophetic and then i did another one on dreams and i just had with a ton of leaders from all over korea and i'm like hey did you know the father of this that you guys are at release the prophetic word and dr hong one of the guys who runs the the institute there lovely guy i remember the day he turned 80 80th birthday and he stage dives and he's like swimming at 80 years old this guy's crazy he was like in it the korean prayer meeting like they go off well i know these guys go off and i think you know wouldn't it be right that the father of this movement and i had a dream about who declared a prophetic word and his prophetic word has yet to come to pass i've got all these praying koreans what if i got them together to pray into the revival in japan because whatever you sow you're going to reap you know these guys got crazy and there's been a lot of pain between korea and japan god starts restoring something what i think is going to be a five minute prayer meeting went off it went ballistic it was hard to stop these guys and they were i don't know what gabe i don't know what we've been training in school of ministry but it's not that let's get some korean prayer warriors up on stage to like show us what to do because man they got different styles it's awesome but they are on it and they went after it and and what was so awesome is there was testimony after testimony of right after that things blowing up in japan in incredible ways of revival stuff happening revival service where holy spirit falls and people just get saved and healed and delivered and it's starting to happen and i'm like oh this is great so i continue to pray for two more years and i have a dream another dream and this dream i meet a guy and he says hi i'm the prime minister of japan will you intercede for me and i said sure yeah i'd love to do that and he takes me into this big like government board room and he looks on the table and there's all across the table is all of these prophetic words and art pieces by children and and i said what is this he says these are the strategies for our nation god returning the hearts of the children of the father's children and it's like happening and i'm like ah this is amazing and i wake up from the dream and i think i wonder what the prime minister of japan looks like and this was before 2020 and uh the prime so i go to my good friend google again like who's the prime minister of japan and it's the guy who showed up in my dream his name shinzo abe and so i prayed for him for a couple of years after that and then we wind up in japan at at the 100 year anniversary of a an incredible revival in japan and it broke out at the same time a hundred years prior and we show up on the ground at that time because i've been praying for years and then we got went straight into like their their uh their their form of like parliament and met with a bunch of leaders and i got to pray and prophesy and our team pray and prophesy over a bunch of these government leaders and and it was also uh the swearing-in of their new emperor at the same time it was like you can't make this stuff up it's crazy but it's through this intimacy through this prayer and intercession where you actually get to apprehend the prophetic that god's declaring over places we still haven't seen the fullness of this 10 million soul harvest in japan but i'm telling you what it's coming bob jones remember he released a word over russia and and that right and and you may say well everything's conspiring against that yeah but why don't you just pray why don't we just partner with what god said rather than what the situation declares because god uses situations he moves kings like water in his hands and he's moving the nations to actually experience him and maybe just maybe we need to begin to partner with that rather than the narrative i mean when stacy campbell comes to us and says oh no your timeline's too long for building that building it needs to be built right now i see two uh obscenely rich people who are gonna give these large two large gifts that are gonna pay off that building are you praying into those people right now my deal is like god releases a word because he's seeing if his people will partner with what he wants to do this is the way god is in his sovereignty he can do it all but he wants he doesn't want to be the lord of losers the king of weaklings he's the king of kings the lord of lords so what's he do he's declares something he's sneaky like that i'm going to declare something and see if you'll be a king i'm going to see if you'll be a lord i'm going to say if you'll partner with that thing so we can establish my rule on the earth are you going to see until the kingdoms of this world become the kingdoms of our lord and his christ see i'm like a bloodhound i'm sniffing out the words of god and i'm praying into them see i'm not a good prophet because i can call someone out and give them a good word now part of the reason why we actually declare in a family environment in front of all of you like this over one person in the room is because then the family gets to be get behind that with intercession to establish that thing in their life to treat them as god says they are not where they're at right now sorry i'm going a little a little long but i'm excited because this is a season where god has declared some things in 2019 god started declaring some pretty incredible words over 2020 but you thought it was just a year it was actually a decade god wasn't prophesying over a year he was prophesying a a decade of transformation and if you got stuck on a year then you might get frustrated with the situation that don't look like they they line up with that no god gave you the word before it so it would anchor you in the hard season and it would drive you past that the enemy's always reacting to us the enemy is always reacting to god declares something the prophets declare something and then everyone the the stuff you know ugly hits the fan and you're like oh oh no oh oh i don't know what to do like did you see the situation do you see what's going on it's all over the world god what are we gonna what are we gonna do the devil's winning do you see this god in jesus name did donna de silva in here snap it off of us we start getting into panic god already declared it anchor yourself to what god said we're going to the other side oh no there's a storm oh jesus is jesus why are you sleeping can't you see what the devil is doing all over the world we are in a storm oh oh lord help my heart because sometimes i have so little faith and i'm in a panic and you're at rest can we just lord help me pray a little longer so i can get your eyes on the situation i don't want to respond to the devil anymore i want to respond to you i'm so tired of being manipulated by situations that you already defeated you already took care of gosh god you make me a king but you already did all the work it's and and then you cheer me on like ben you're doing so good wants to partner with us this is season where intimacy intercession and prophecy cannot be taken apart they have to be uniquely linked in this season for us to apprehend what god is releasing to us stand to your feet i'm going to pray over you let me just tell you it starts at home first right ben why do you pray in jesus name oh holy spirit you convict my heart i was praying here this morning about 5 30 and uh i was reading through the book of matthew saw this moment where jesus is doing this incredible stuff and the pharisees are there it says they're in awe and then the next thing they say is oh he's he's casting out nem demons be because he's partnered with demons i'm like okay listen just stay in all because sheer stupid comes on you when you don't understand the ways of god just be silent long enough to take in and i'm like oh and he and it says there and knowing their thoughts he spoke to them and i i just walked up and down these rows repenting god i'm not pure like you because i don't actually know people's hearts the right way i don't know their thoughts the right way and sometimes i misjudge situations because i'm i'm stuck with using my own wisdom to try and see or read a situation and now i've become the judge of people lord forgive me or make me pure so i can have eyes like you so that when i declare i'm declaring your words not my words i don't want to be stuck in that anymore if i don't know how to pray lord i'll pray in the spirit because the spirit knows how to pray and then i'll get revelation from that place of being anchored in intimacy with you on how to pray this is where we'll get traction this is where we'll get breakthrough god would you do it in us first start in us and then as we do god would you expand our territory would you expand our reach would you expand our ability to partner with you so that truly we do come in jesus name amen amen love you guys thank you
