"Purity and Risk" | Power Hour | Ep.98*

[Music] [Music] [Music] [Laughter] [Music] so [Music] good afternoon our our family on facebook land and youtube land and a very glorious and blessed 28th of october to you all it is wednesday uh and i've got the lovely nate and sam with me although sam you have changed the picture on your wall this morning i have to iron man to iron man what does your mother say about iron man pictures in pride of place she has not seen it yet because i only changed that about 15 minutes ago 20 minutes ago and i snuck up though she was on a call so we shall see how long it takes and i've completely this is like my one of m's favorite rooms but no one uses it now so i've kind of taken it over put my massive desk in it changed it all so we'll see how she feels about that when she comes in when she comes in iron man yes with whom you have a great obsession i think it's fair to say anyway he he is your favorite nate you on the other hand are boxes boxes everywhere because you moved to scotland next week yay why is it in the box world the boxing up um yeah i mean we're we got the kids rooms packed the kids are sleeping on their mattresses on the floor we're just trying to break everything down but mentally i think it's hard because i'm having to ignore the boxes on my left and right and then just kind of the chaos that you always have when you're moving but we we try to be fairly organized when moving but you know how moving is it never feels like it's organized you're a little bit ocd aren't you so you do like your order yes yes well our living room our lounge would call it the uk it doesn't have anything moved the pictures are still on the wall because i'm like i need somewhere that we after you know we try to you know disconnect from the rest of the chaos throughout the house that we can go to one room and it feels kind of orderly yes and somebody's asking have you found a house yes they have found a house in the great area so that is super exciting and you're driving vans up on friday week so we will all turn up in our uh house moving clothes and help you unpack and uh welcome you to glasgow on friday week which is brilliant and any more want to join uh yes by all means to move ice to glasgow so sam we are still having comments about your hair uh but what i would like to ask is i have traveled with you and sarah jane around the world and you take more hair hair products and hair straighteners maybe than sarah jane and no confession is it an easier style are you still using hair straighteners every day i have not used hair straighteners in about three years okay i have it and three before that i i completely concede i am honest i did because i had this awful cows lick if you know what that is where i was when i quest my head up straight right this cows like would just curl and then it would slowly come down and tickle my eyeball so if i straightened it i didn't do that and whereas now i just need to brush it forward and it does itself i mean this is the great thing about having hair that's messy and a bit forward it's just it just doesn't by yourself it's easier i am so glad you feel great freedom to own and uh hair straighteners and you're comfortable in your masculinity i don't anymore but i do i do have a hair dryer i don't have a hair dryer you need that um yes but actually i didn't i didn't see you yesterday but you popped down to our house to drop something off and pick something up but you left a whole bag of your your clothes for my 14 year old for peter well peter was doing a parade uh yesterday dinner time in all uncle sam's old he was so delighted and then at one point he's like oh this smells like sam and of course then the whole family were round smelling all your old clothes and going yeah they smell like sam so i don't know whether i think that's a good thing it's a good sound smell uh not that we all go around smelling each other but um uh you know as a habit in glasgow each other smells though we are but then you said to me the i have a very distinct smell you do it's so distinctive i'm so aware of i like when i was shopping with my mum once for one of her friends uh like a birthday present and we were looking for perfume and i was now like i was smelling some about what's the nicest one and i picked up one and i knew immediately this must be the one that emma smell that emma wears because you smell it and i was right i was right i got the right perfume the right brand because you have such a distinction amber ginger lily or something yes absolutely uh yes uh but so i remember somebody said to me at university this is years ago i knew which was your university room emma because i could smell you coming out of it you know and none of the other rooms smelled like you when i walked past i'm going to take that as a compliment but i guess like as well because profits are extreme we don't do any of the kind of one spray of aftershave or perfume nonsense as much as you can so that we are the dominant smell in our room so i can understand why we do that it's like 10 sprays but nate you you nearly you nearly got kicked out of the nation about 10 minutes ago by the pair of us by suggesting that the british body odor is worse than the american body odor do you want to unpack that um to my defense i think the difference is what happens is this british people aren't used to you know to heat and so they're not used to having to load up on deodorant and so during the summer months let's just say and maybe it's because i take a lot more public transportation in europe uh you are on thin ice mate but you walk into a bus and you're like wow yeah i'm not sure who took a shower this week so rude that is so rude i did this i believe he would i do think that he's brave isn't he yes yes he might be getting a loving slap but but i do think different nations smell differently and i think partly that spiritual you know there's different anointings smell different and national demons smell different but i wonder whether it must be the food that we eat in nations and nations do have different smells we are not going to list the different smells of the world yeah it could be related to you spain does smell like suntan lotion though it does nothing because everybody goes to staying on holiday everybody wears suntan lotion or tanning lotion or whatever you call it spf and so i always think i've been to spain in years but i always think spain smells like suntan lotion no it comes to chorizo the whole smell thing goes back to the fact about deodorant in the uk is just different than american deodorant too not that there's not smelly people in america but because on where you go we need to do something spiritual fast we do it probably what were you going to say sam i'm going to say i think though if we're honest that's probably because in america for honest you have a lot of ingredients in your stuff that's illegal here in britain so they're probably like pva glue in your deodorant that keeps the the be all in david david is clearly like time for something yes let's move on let's talk about nationals not to talk about national smells uh even though i mean spiritually is an american somebody's saying american shower every five minutes that is my impression of americans you do share every five minutes anyway but [Music] we're going to lose the plot today focus focus focus focus but i do think it is interesting right oh dear right you know it's bad because people are gonna come up to me once we're allowed to see people again and they're gonna be so self-conscious nate makes me smell smell them as they come in the door for a conference and assign them to a nation turning up on the door of the premises how do we get here yes but but interestingly i do think we need to say lord i'd like to smell in this spirit and what i mean what i mean by that you can smell anointings you can smell angels you can smell the fragrance of god you can smell jesus you actually can smell demons and i think it's the glory of you know uh being made by god as sensory human beings that it's not just that i expect to see him or to have a an audible encounter uh or to have a a feeling of him touching and laying his hand on me but i don't want to sideline other senses like tasting and like smell and we have an awful lot of fun with that you know you do you do walk right going oh do you smell a demon and genuinely we have conversations like this in our office do you smell a demon i think i smell a demon do you smell an anointing i think i smell an anointing okay and you can almost smell that and i actually believe my dog this is weird now i do believe my dog can smell and sense demons and she'll bark at the demon eyes have we talked about my dog that can see in the spirit realm okay but jenny we have a labrador and i she sarah jane actually uh bred uh bred them for a while and she's one of sarah jane's uh litter and we would prayed for those dogs when they were in their mommy's tummy genuinely the dogs and i actually think they are spiritual uh you know spiritually alert and we know when there's somebody very demonized around our prof property because the cat the dog goes berserk uh and when it's somebody full of the spirit of god the dog does not go berserk somebody's saying i'm going to be very self-conscious visiting your office yes if we all come and smell you at the door and the dog barks at you you know it's bad news and we need to walk you is straight to the freedom and deliverance ministry but if my dog likes you at the door you're okay right let's do something spiritual really really quickly change change yes several of you are saying that you have prophetic pets as well i think it's a whole thing uh yes i've heard hilarious stories of people bringing their pets to harvest uh festivals and harvest celebrations at church the the bless your pet day where people turn up with goats and sheep on leads uh and bring them into church and fish anybody ever been to those services where you bring your pet to church to be blessed anybody is that just a very very hilarious have you never heard of that a friend of mine tells them in a canadian situation tells the most hilarious story about a massive great dane you know how they're the biggest dogs you can get who was really badly behaved and the pets were all coming forward for uh the laying on of hands and the blessing of the pets and this dog was just about it was warming up to run across the front you know to take out all the other animals and the preacher just said holy spirit get that dog and the dog rolled over onto its back under the power of god with its four legs upright in the air because no dog lies with its four legs upright in the air and completely was held by the holy spirit until the rest of the festivities had happened so yes somebody's saying yet it's true it happens in my church in pennsylvania very francis somebody is saying i have never seen it happen but i have heard stories anyway so sam do you want to prophesy [Laughter] this has been i mean what an introduction to power hour because someone would say someone was saying that they've got a prophetic rabbit in the comments that jumps when the glory falls into the room and he jumps when the presence is strong julie that is amazing we have to get a video of a prophetic jumping rabbit my bible study are we gonna be able to prophesy oh my goodness so big got a prophetic worm in the comments and see what happens right okay sam can you prophesy well i can't taste it yes i mean thank you for putting me right on the screen in case i fall and start laughing again david i know this is an awkward transition because actually a lot of the words that we have for today are quite serious so and we need to kind of slalom or slide into that realm of and the word of the lord and what god is saying to the earth right now and i heard yesterday when we were coming and when i was coming to prepare for power hour a really bizarre thing that god was saying and we're kind of starting in in the deep end of what i believe god is doing in the nations of the earth right now with regards to the sex trade and the porn industry and god is on purity mode right now in the earth we know that he is coming with righteousness and justice and god is saying at this time i am releasing a moses like call in moses like mantle the lord says to those that i am calling to birth a new exodus for the sex and porn giants or industries and the nations of the earth and the lord is saying it is time for slave owners to let my people go and the lord is saying the spirit of slavery has taken up residence in the sex and porn english industries of the world and the lord says liberation is now coming particularly to these areas and god is coming as a liberator he is coming to mantle men and women as liberators to these particular places and the lord says sam what spirit do you think right now is behind these structures and i was like well i'm not sure it's impurity you know it's a sexual perversion spirit and god said ultimately the spirit that is behind these structures is the spirit of slavery and i come now to liberate the slaves and the lord says to set the captives free and i heard the lord say this that this exodus will be marked by liberation and a new understanding of intimacy and some of you it feel like this is a particular call to you you feel like this is a word particularly to you that you have a call even there and i heard the lord say i am putting this moses mantle these moses like mantles and mandates on men and women called into this particular area of libya of liberation and god said to me this when i said when can we expect this when and how can we expect this he said these are the days of overnight exposure where the elite and the hidden sex trafficking rings are being exposed both locally and globally and god said this wealth does not protect people from my justice or from my furnace and i am coming to the elite hidden long-term hidden sex trafficking rings and i am exposing them and i am uncovering their hiddenness and the lord says i am releasing justice and mercy into those particular areas and god just put exodus three into my spirit as i was praying about this particularly yesterday i was moved into intercession for this cause and exodus 3 says that 78 i have certainly seen the oppression of my people i have heard their cries of distress because of their harsh slave drivers so i have come down to rescue them and that is the moment that we are in in the face of the earth right now where god is saying i am coming down to rescue them but let me talk personally for a moment to individuals because god is doing this on mass in the nations but i heard the lord say that right now in this era of time on the earth i am purifying and purging desire i am purifying and purging the desire that is in my people and restoring it to its original intention and there is grace in the atmosphere right now for porn addictions to be broken particularly for those who have been bound in it those who are saved those who are uh who who belong in the church but feel like they have been bound in this area god says i'm coming to you personally and i'm breaking these addictions right now and i'm releasing a purification of desire a purging of desire to your insides and you're going to know a pure desire not an out of control desire not an unkept desire not a a polluted desire says the lord you are going to know a redeemed desire in this time says the spirit of the lord and so if you know that you have experienced an addiction or it's near you as well if you know that you that that's near you that addiction there particularly to pornography i speak a word of freedom and declare that even today that is breaking that that addiction is breaking and there is a purity of desire that is coming back to you in the name of jesus i think it's worth unpacking and and being honest about this pornography word such a powerful thing that you're bringing i have two teenage uh one teenage son a 12 year old as you know and a 14 year old and they would talk to me often about the porn culture within their schools they're high they're both at high school at the moment and almost that normalizing of conversations around that whereas probably in your childhood sam and nate it was a very hush-hush concept nobody would really acknowledge it or talk about it well now it's certainly seen as a rite of passage and there's no shame in it and so here we are as parents having conversations about pornography with a 12 year old and what it is and why it's bad and and how they navigate that world and and and having conversations about physical intimacy you know way ahead of where we would have done uh in years gone by to help our children navigate that zone because and girls too absolutely somebody is saying uh it's just that uh my my boys are my youngest and so that whole sense of you know the expectation that almost that is what they do and actually it's not shocking and i notice when i come into the marriage counseling zone where in some of the marriage conversations i would have had maybe 10 years ago there would have been massive issues between a husband and wife if one was using porn and one wasn't and all those intimacy things that would have affected now when i talk to um newlyweds brides and and and grooms to be there is a sense that oh well you know that's just part of you know what will have been part and parcel of their history and that's just how it is and i am quite okay with that and so the shock the shock factor has really gone out of that whole arena and i do think we have to get back a love of righteousness and a hating of wickedness like um sam 45 talks about and we have to come back to being shocked at things that would shock the heart of god and i think we have to pray for that where we have become desensitized where we've been desensitized by what we watch on television god would you shock me again would you put that back into me though i maybe have had a ropey history and i've maybe tarnished my own you know eye gates i need not just a prayer for my innocence but i need a prayer for my shock ability that i want to turn away from it because i see the ugliness in it and so i do want you to pray that god would you make me like you god would you shock me again with the things that shock heaven that are so anti the culture of heaven and i think we need to own that space so that we are better at our self management and better in our conversations as to why that is a problem lord shock me with the things that shock you and i do think we need to you know what you brought an outstanding word but i do think someone saying porn destroyed my marriage it's very honest of you we do need to go against that sexual perversion spirit because just because we know the statistics in society a massive proportion of you watching are going to have had some sexual perversion or pornography struggles it's just kind of the way it is uh at the moment and so there's no shame in that but i do want to warfare for you so that is not going to be what owns you in your years ahead okay nate sam do you want to add to that as we start to pray yeah even as sam was talking about this is he said something about purification desire and i just felt like a heavy weight upon that is that even as you're saying emma with the we've almost become desensitized or people have almost become desensitized but within that god is calling us to that purification desire for him but within that it's like psalms 51 and 10 how it says create a new and clean heart within me fill me with pure thoughts and holy desires ready to please you and as we break this it's that very factor that god is actually calling us to a purification desire but as we be as we're pure and we're having this new heart and new thoughts it actually will begin to break into a place that actually um yeah it's it's that wow that's that's wrong like hey we need to pray against this you know instead of being so desensitized to some of the things of the world that it's just a way well just the way 2020 is it's just the way the church is or it's just this and so god is calling us to that purification desire for him of a place of of of his thoughts of his you know and i love how the passion translation breaks it down a bit more is is that pure thoughts and holy desire ready to please the king yes and kathy is right she says i use divine editing to click you know memory and that is a great tool to put your hand in your head and you and you talk about lord edit my memories do a divine edit of my memory bank because some of you will have flashbacks to perverse images that you've seen now whether that's through pornography or or being at the recipient or the victim of abuse you know or or having unfortunate things happen in your wider family circle you can lay hands on your head and ask for god to divinely edit your memory bank and so that whatever sort of trauma that it has can actually cut can come off you and i think it it it needs to be said uh that sex excuse me sex is god's gift and we think of it as dirty and unwholesome and something not to be spoken about but i actually talk about it and preach about it and teach about it a lot that there is absolute beauty in sex in the right context and it is a gift of god and actually i believe sex is something deeply deeply spiritual and it models in this two becoming one flesh something of you know uh john's gospel when it talks about us becoming one as as the father and the son and the spiritual one it is a sign of a level of intimacy that we're going to have or be in a slightly different form in heaven so i do think we have to talk very positively about sex we have to talk about it positively and redeem it from being something dirty and but within the context of the maker's instruction which of course is marriage and that sense there that it does you good uh in the right context it does you great good in the right context and that actually desire is a very biblically robust concept and we don't want to be shutting down all our desire we want to have right desire in the right direction all right and so it is a purification of desire not a removal of desire that's vitally important god purify my desire and lead me to the place where sex is what you intended it to be a radical blessing in my life in the right context okay so it's not that i just want to take you to a neutral space where you're like i don't sin anymore because that that is a good place to be okay but actually i want you awaken to the blessing of intimacy and desire according to the word and the character of god i think we have to redeem christian marriage here i think we have to show that that that that sex can be incredibly fulfilling and so fulfilling that you are not lusting anywhere else because it absolutely is more than you imagined under the grace of god where it's mind-blowingly good and i do believe that christians should have the best sex on the planet i believe that wholeheartedly christians should have the best sex on the planet because they have it in the absolute perfect conditions of spirit-filled christianity under the hand of an almighty savior okay and so we have to be able to have those kind of conversations without ridiculous kind of nerves and embarrassment about it okay so boys i want you to start to rep repent and get the people to follow you in repentance for sexual perversion if god is on this you know and giving you these words sam about sex trafficking in the porn industry we want to be able to get uh with god in that place and uh you know action our own lives as he actions this for sure repentance is not yeah go for it absolutely remember how we repent you just i i will say it out loud and you repeat after me and then you guys you know emanate jump on the back and we're just going to release a purification of desire i think that's the key hinge point here beautify my desired god according to how you see my desire and and want it to be so father god in the name of jesus i repent for partnering nate if you can unmute yourself so we can hear you yeah i repent for partnering i repent for partnering with sexual impurity with sexual impurities i'm sorry god for partnering with sexual perversion i'm sorry for partnering with sexual perversion knowingly and unknowingly knowingly and unknowingly i'm sorry for being desensitized to what is good and what is evil i'm sorry for being desensitized to what is good and what is evil i ask for your forgiveness god i ask you for your forgiveness god and i surrender my heart and my desires i surrender my heart and my desires to your redeeming transforming power to your redeeming transforming power that my desire would become that my desire would become pure as you intended it to be pure as you have intended it to be in the name of jesus in the name of jesus christ amen so i speak to that spirit of sexual perversion and that addictive uh spirit to pornography uh and i bind them together in the name of jesus and i speak right to the very core of your being you who are watching where those things have often sat in an ungodly alliance and i pull them off you that spirit of sexual perversion that lusting in the wrong direction that desire for pornography right now it is broken in jesus name it is separated from you in the name of the king who is above all and in the name of jesus i list you holy desire rightly aligned desire in jesus name and over your marriages i speak the blessing of god that your marriage would be an echo of as it is in heaven that where there are demons nipping around your heels as a man and wife i now clean out your houses from the demons that stand against good marriage and in jesus name we release to you the ability of unity and oneness of celebration and of enjoying one another again and where the enemy has come between you even in your physical intimacy and man and wife i resensitize your skin back to one another in the name of jesus that there would be an anointing for great physical connection between husband and wife in jesus name and what has come into the bedroom and brought a separation between man and wife where they are looking uh in other directions for fulfillment we say no more in jesus name and we release an ability for the eyes of the husband to find the wife and the eyes of the wife to find the husband and we say there will be a standard in marriage that is a kingdom standard that is re-released back into the christian family homes that the world might say what is it you know about marriage that we don't know and we speak a second blessing a second blessing refreshings of honeymoons and refreshings of adoration for each other over marriages in the mighty name of jesus and we say there will not be loss in marriages in this season as god moves to restore and redeem in the sexual intimacy arena and for those of you who are widowed or you know who have not yet find your your your partner we send the blessing of intimacy from jesus himself that you may know that great friendship love that he talks about that would hold you in this time and some of you are saying yes vain imaginations are cast down it doesn't matter uh you know how bad the situation god is a redeeming god even in the most personal of situations in the most painful of places and those of you who already think well my marriage is not too bad we bless it to come higher and higher and higher and higher to the standard that god intended in jesus name [Music] yeah i i really feel like we need to pray for those that that have had even um i think two different things as we were talking about just praying for these these thoughts that have been in your mind in a place that that there are some things that have happened to some of you that should have never happened to you that you need some clear um cleansing and just purity of god to reach in and bring healing to some things so right now if that's you that have had some things happen to you that wasn't of god that you need some some purity that just comes in and grasp you and brings healing but also if you're here and then you have some thoughts and vain imaginations that are coming up that you're wanting to release to him right now so father we just speak this and you just speak it out loud right where you are father we just speak this right now remove this father we release these vain imaginations we release these images that we've let into our mind um oh sometimes accidentally and then other times on purpose father we release them to you bring purity bring clinton cleansing father edit these things out father as well as right now for for for the people that have had things happen to them that should have never happened to them god we just speak against these things and these these thoughts these these memories that have caused so much hurt we rebuke them right now in your name jesus that you bring healing touch to their mind healing touch to their flesh and their body and their soul father that brings healing even to their marriage and their future marriage father things that should have never happened but because of who you are father you are bringing cleansing right now and adding these memories out of their mind and their perception and any thought that that anytime their spouse or someone touches them that they don't think these vain thoughts of what has happened previously because of what you've done and brought clarity to them father and we release this and bless them right now with this supernatural blessing of your love and your passion over each and every person that's watching right now father yes father we have watched abuse victims even in some of the most traumatic sexual abuse situations have such a memory bank cleansing of god that they don't walk with a limp and i want you to hear that even the most extreme abuse you can walk without a limp and so where you are shadowed and where you are limping release a healing to the many abuse victims that are watching this and the rest of you who have not had that you just join with me in agreement in prayer that right now there is going to be a removing of the pain and the trauma and you are going to be those who walk tall and walk free without a limp in jesus mighty name yes yes yes we agree corey amen stuff guys i'm just gonna talk um for a little bit about risk and salmon and and nate you both have words uh uh nate if you follow this up um i was listening to some social commentators uh in the last kind of 24 hours on the radio and they were talking about how we are in the west certainly increasingly risk-averse societies and i kind of thought well are we risk-averse societies and that whole push in recent years through health and safety uh and hey and the laws around that but also in this kind of concept of you know we want to avoid death at all costs within society that you know living longer is you know absolutely high up on our radar and that it has really been seen within the government's management of covet don't risk uh you know be risk averse and that seems to have uh garnered a lot of momentum and at the core of some government priorities seems to be well how do you keep people safe we must not fail uh in the keeping of people safe and as i listen to that uh there's obviously lots of conversations that you could have around that about liberty and freedom uh but i i really started to talk to god about the spiritual implications of a risk-averse society and the lord started to talk to me about the increase in the fear of man that has gone round the globe because of this risk-averse atmosphere over nations and the fear of death is very high but this fear of offending is also very strong and so what those that has done is that it it has enhanced in a wrong way this tall poppy syndrome well nobody'd be too risky nobody be too free nobody be too extreme nobody likes to show off don't you look too good at anything we want a sense of containment because we are culturally risk averse and somebody uh shana is saying on on facebook you know we've become unprepared for persecution i think you've absolutely nailed it and what i heard the lord start to talk to me about is that few have the ability to own their call and few have the ability to own their own function in god because we are risk averse and owning your function owning your call owning your future requires you to be more risky than you are right now and i want to say this to you in the counseling environment in the deeper healing environment i think i have seen uh one repetitive issue more than any other in all the years i trained as a counselor when i was 18 and i'm 45 in a few weeks so whatever that is you know 27 years that i've worked within the the deeper healing emotional wellness world and i would say over those 27 years the i am not enough rolls the roost i am not enough rules the rest so you lose that ability to risk because you fear exposure you fear being fined out and the ability to say i am enough i am righteous enough i am chosen by god i am called by god totally eludes the church and we actually work with the devil in being risk averse and i feel like the lord is saying to us that we have withdrawn withdraw from where we should be by these this combination of believing we're not alive and by being risk averse and so you are not enough and you are risk averse have woven together to uh uh keep you in a contained place and i think you have to uh uh shite widely am enough i am enough okay and uh douglas ricard is saying you know i mentioned yesterday about obeying civil authority but what if it becomes authoritarian now let's unpack that a little bit i think scripture is very clear we obey civil authority we honor civil authority but there is biblically one caveat to that and the caveat is when what they are asking us to do goes against core biblical principles all right that is always how you measure these things but what i want to talk to you about right now is that risk does not equal failure risk does not equal failure and some of you are going to have to own that risk does not equal failure i am enough therefore risk does not equal failure and risk equals different actions taken to get to a different place you do not want to be fixed in one place for other uh forever and i think we hate being stuck you hate being stuck but at the same time you're risk averse and we are this interesting uh uh you know polarized parts in the one being where i hate sometimes where i am but i am not uh secure enough to go and take the risks to get the out of where i am and so being risk averse undermines the warrior in you being risk averse undermines and will always undermine your ability to advance being risk averse undermines the ability that you want to find significance being risk averse will never let you be transformed and change and i believe that the lord is saying in your belief that you are not enough you have gone into protection mode even though you don't want to protect where you are and you are protecting some things that you know need to change and somebody says you know i think i also saw in the comments that faith is spelt risk and of course in luke 17 verse 5 jesus is having this dialogue with his disciples about you know forgiveness and how many times you need to forgive and of course it's a shocking statement of jesus that forgiveness is needed 70 times seven and the disciples on the back of that say this interesting phrase they say wow increase our faith lord increase our faith they are not saying help me to believe you more they are actually saying help me to action the wildness you are teaching me jesus so faith is asking for more faith is saying help me to become a person of action of the wildness of your call and your teaching and we often pray god i want to feel better where i am i want to feel liberated where i am i want to be okay in my stuckness and god is shouting at us you'll feel better not if i medicate your stuckness but you'll feel better when risk taking comes back to the fore in your life and i do believe that there is a new revealing of the bride a new unfurling of the bride to be able to shite from the core of our beings i am enough and i love risk i am enough and i love risk the two are the two are going to be woven together within us and that risk averse zeitgeist that risk averse spirit of the age that risk averse governmental structure that risk averse you know pipe dying settle down and do what you told it's all about safety at all costs is a demonic uh rising in governmental structures where there is the need to claim the kingdom of god which at its heart is about advancing and increasing and advancing and increasing is always a risky business i am enough and i love risk must become some of the holy ghost mantras that come out of your mind now some in fact nate you were going to come to you heard the lord talk about exuberant life yeah yeah i heard him say exuberant life i have called you out of the mirey clay into exuberant life and with that exuberant would be this lively energy this this excitement of of coming out of that even that risk averse and so but he says a life of joy and excitement and not to drag not not in the drag of life not in that place of law not to be affected by the surroundings but called to affect the surrounding to shift and break these strongholds and i heard him say i have called you to high thinking high perspective high calling in high direction not to low thinking not to low perspective not to low calling or low direction but he's saying here he's like low thinking affects your perspective this is the thing i asked the lord i was like what does this even mean and even the order that he gave them and i was like what does this mean and it's like low thinking affects your perspective which affects what you think you are called to and return affects your direction of every day and so every action so the low thinking effects so this this low place of of of thinking affects our perspective this low place of saying i'm not enough that well i can't do that because i i've not been in church 10 years or i've not been a minister for this or what whatever your excuses are i'm not called enough or you know who my dad was or you you know this low thinking affects our perspective which effects what we what what we think and we are called to and in return affects your direction of every day which means everything that you're doing every day every action when you wake up in the morning you're like well i just go to job and go do a nine to five and you know come home and which no like you might be working at nine to five but what are you called to for that moment and within that day what are you called to within that spear what are you called to and so we have to shift from this and he says we don't have time for this low thinking and in no time for stinking thinking you know i'm not i assume that's a term that we use in the uk but you know the stinking thinking this this this low this this low perspective and and i think in this this season right now that that you know with with coveted and being locked down has almost caused people of of being low and depressed and thinking that they're not who they are they've let their mind rattle and move too much and and and listen to the lies of the enemy but is only in his thinking and only in his perspective that we're going to break through you know when you think about this too is the children of israel you know they were given the promised land they were told they could go in the promised land but because of their stinking thinking the land that was named the promised land for them wasn't granted to them it was already given to them but because of what they thought because of what they received in their mind because what they've let themselves think i can't do this i'm not called to this i'm not going to make it into this because of that it kept them from what was already given to them and so my question is how many people have died during their time because we've lacked the the risk factor of saying you can raise up and come back to life how many people have not fulfilled their fullness of their calling in their earth because of their stinking thinking how many people have not received everything god has for them all due to their stinking thinking how many people have not been healed how many how many cities and nations have not been shifted because we've let this place of insecurities this place of stinking thinking of woe is me and but god is saying he is calling you out today and bringing you into this high thinking in this high perspective he says in psalms 42 he says he lifted me out of the slimy pit out of the mud and mire he set my feet on the rock and gave me a firm place to stand and he's giving you a firm place right now to stand he's giving you a firm place in um and most of you are standing actually on this firm foundation but you've let your stinking thinking come in and you've and you've come into connection and this place of this risk averse place this place of life well i can't step forward they might call me a loony if i do that i can't do that i and you're letting all of these lies come into you and then and slowly is pulling you back to a place of a slimy pit but actually god says i've pulled you out i've placed you on this firm foundation so run in this and go forth and he's calling you forth today do you guys want to chip in before we i think we need to pray it's so good and i i feel like what we're talking about is with risk it's a default internal setting it's a default internal setting in the person that understands who the person of christ is that knows that the power of god will back you up that knows that you are the righteousness of god in christ that internal setting that knows i can go for it i can take this bolder decision i can have that challenging conversation i can have a better expectation you know because within me i have a reset myself to know that i should be one who risks and who understands my security in christ and i actually think you need risk rightly written down your spinal cord that it's not as oh isn't that a lovely thought pararin and didn't we pass a nice uh lovely r together again and you know we had a bit of a giggle about rabbits and we got a little bit sexually free but actually that sense of of a change from the core of my being that will outwork itself that i'm so secure in here and i am enough that i am able to live a lifestyle of advance of war of change of transformation of significance and the church then becomes something completely different because the church i think for most of our natural lives has only known protection mode and not risk mode and i do think that uh if somebody i love that is saying a backbone instead of a wishbone i think i love that but that actually in the watching of this today i want you to do business with uh with the spirit of god and ask him is risk written inside me or is fear written inside me is protection and safety written inside me or is boldness and risk ask the spirit of god he'll tell you fast enough and some of you are going to be shocked because you think you are cutting edge and you're not and i tell you why we think that we think that because we go to a charismatic church some of us and we speak in tongues that that automatically puts us um on the the cutting wild edge and it does not it puts you in the habit of going to a charismatic church that's all it does and so you can actually work in you know the fbi and think wow wow i work in this amazing place you know or i go to this you know cutting edge church but actually even though you stand with the people who are cutting edge you can find that you are health and safety orientated that you are more cautious than you should be that you have partnered with international demons who want us to only talk about safety and safety doesn't build wow do we take care of each other yes yes yes yes i think we are are those who in scripture uh uh learn from god that he cares for us but he doesn't promise safety read the book okay he carries our burdens and he cares for us and the model is of care but the model in scripture is not a model of safety it's a model of care very different i am cared for sometimes in my pain and suffering and my risk and my boldness and i think we have to rip up um concepts of safety safety safety safety safety safety first okay i'm gonna care for you and you're gonna care for me yeah but we are going to be wild and risk takers according to the person of jesus uh oh look at the time sam finish yourself i think it's good i think we just need to say god help me be ruthless with my insecurities and the lies of the enemy that whisper around me that tell me well i'm just only this therefore i cannot do that and in this place where we are saying god remind me of the rest that is intrinsic to who i am give me a ruthlessness with my insecurities that i may no longer give them the airtime or the space to convince me out of what you've asked me to do and we've just got to start to say and you need to start to say that lie that i have been believing of insecurity of inadequacy of immaturity i'm not listening to you anymore in fact i am being ruthless with you and saying you are a lie and choose to believe the truth that is on the inside so in the name of jesus i loose to you a strength to break agreement with the lies of insecurity that the enemy has attached around you and i bless you right now in jesus name to remember the risk that is intrinsic to who you are and to start to feel it even surge inside of you that you will now even from today go feeling like faith is an impulse risk is an impulse i just i feel it impulsively inside of me in the name of jesus and i loose to you the ability to walk in that godly impulsive risk and faith from today on in jesus name good and i think we need to measure our governments by standards of how do they care but how brave are they okay so i bless you our time has gone and actually i'm excited tomorrow sarah jane is back so we've got seventeen tomorrow and luke is on with me sam you're doing university theology degree stuff tomorrow night you'll be packing more boxes to move ice so we're all on the move i think this is a watch again some of you need to get a big marker pen and write on walls on your house you can walk right on the walls on your house we have done it all right on with lipstick on your nerves i am enough and i love risk homework okay we love you lots par our family see you tomorrow [Music] you
