Pushing in - Murray & Ash Smith (October 3rd, 2021)

oh man keep coming holy spirit we just declare that you're welcome in this place you're welcome in our lives you're welcome in our families you're welcome in our workplaces you're welcome in this city you're welcome in this nation you're welcome in the nation we love you we adore you and we pour out our love the love that you have lavished upon us we pour back on you jesus oh cause you're worth it you are so worth it [Music] i just want to read this scripture from colossians we're going to take communion but we just have a couple of things that we just want to share and and then we're going to yeah we'll go with whatever the holy spirit wants so colossians chapter 1 verse 13 he has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved son that's good news right that is the gospel in whom we have redemption the forgiveness of sins he is the image of the invisible god the firstborn of all creation for by him all things were created in heaven and on earth visible and invisible whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities all things were created through him and for him and he is before all things and in him all things hold together thank you jesus and he is the head of the body the church he is the beginning the firstborn from the dead that in everything he might be preeminent for in him all the fullness of god was pleased to dwell and through him to reconcile to himself all things whether on earth or in heaven making peace by the blood of his cross and you who once were alienated and hostile in mind doing evil deeds he has now reconciled in his body of flesh by his death in order to present you holy and blameless and above reproach before him wow that's epic thank you jesus i just first of all we want to give an opportunity for for anyone in this room or who's watching online to respond to the invitation of jesus he is the lover of our soul and he wants to be the lord of our lives he is he is the firstborn he is above everything everything was created by him and for him including us we're just the objects of his affection but some of us you know we've we've strayed or we try to do things in our own strength we try to clean ourselves up before we come to the lord we we try to do good things and think that he will be acceptable or maybe we just don't even know him i i grew up in a family that that did not know jesus or believe jesus believe in jesus i'm a first generation christian jesus rescued me out of the dominion of darkness plucked me up as a little aussie girl and actually brought me to saint catherine's just down the road and i met a wonderful jesus loving family and i fell in love with jesus through them and and so i want we want to give you an invitation today if you've never said yes to jesus actually that verse 13 today is the day that he wants to pluck you out of the dominion of darkness and bring you into the kingdom notice it's not a kingdom of darkness it's a dominion but he's he wants to bring you into the kingdom of the beloved son and so we want to give you an opportunity this morning if your heart has grown cold in any way if you've uh never said yes to letting jesus be lord and savior of your life you can just pray with me now i just invite you to do that now to respond to him to respond to his voice today maybe you're feeling butterflies in your stomach i just want to encourage you right now as a place to yield so you can pray with me lord jesus lord jesus i yield my life to you today the truth is i've been trying to do things in my own strengths i've been trying to clean myself up or do good works or i've been stuck in terrible cycles of sin today i want to acknowledge that you died the death for me that i deserved that you jesus lived the life that i should have lived but couldn't you gave your life on the cross you shed your blood you allowed your body to be broken for me so today i receive you as my lord and savior today i say yes to you jesus i put all other loves aside and i say yes to you taking first place in my heart and i believe that on the third day you rose again jesus defeating death and hell [Music] and so now as i say yes to you i am immediately transferred out of the dominion of darkness and placed in the beloved and i am seated with you in heaven seated holy spirit fill me now holy spirit fill me now thank you that i get to be the living headquarters of the trinity i yield i am i believe i believe and i receive you i receive jesus amen yeah come on come on you know if you prayed that prayer with with us just now then we believe that you've begun a journey of getting to know god and to he's always known you but it's an opportunity to get to know him and to experience him and to join a family that can help you and so over here we've got pastor rob and the team if you prayed that prayer i want you to be really brave there's no there's no shame there's excitement for all of us to celebrate celebration but we want to actually help you get plugged in and connected into this new journey and relationship that you have with jesus and so the team over here are going to be uh here uh to help you if you're in the building if you're online i believe there's an online chat just put your details put your name in the online and if that's you and you've made that declaration today i want you to be really bold i want you to come up here and meet this this team not gonna do anything weird they're just gonna get to know you and it and you are gonna and they're gonna help you begin that journey so if you've just said yes to jesus please come up front here and we want to just cheer you and celebrate you yeah amen amen amen i also really felt like um that you know this passage just talks about um reconciliation that that actually jesus has reconciled us to him and he's reconciled himself to all things the earth and every all creation and i really felt like you know this last 18 months has been kind of a bit of a trippy season hasn't it it has for me it's been kind of crazy feels a bit weird but i feel like there may be some people in this room are watching online who feel it because i think what what this covert season has done has brought a disconnection a disconnection between us as believers even in church family a disconnection in the world a disconnection in marriages sometimes a disconnection in our hearts even with our true heart and self and and i think there's been a bit of heaviness at times and and fear or just like a blanket of heaviness on us sometimes and so i really feel like the lord today wants to bring reconciliation to our hearts to realign our hearts with who he says we are with our purpose and with our destiny and where we've let go of some things or where we've felt a bit of maybe some people i felt may have have disconnected and and from their own self and maybe their body and you look at your body and you're like i don't i don't like this body that i'm in i i'm i feel ashamed of myself i or maybe it's even your mind you're having thoughts that you didn't struggle with before and you feel disconnected from who you were and you you feel like you're you feel ashamed of having these thoughts and and maybe there's some self-hatred that you feel i also feel like the lord wants to bring healing even to the church self-harming where in the church we've we've pointed at someone else and said well they've got it wrong i'm right or i don't agree with them and i feel like the lord is bringing a supernatural reconciliation even in the body in his body him as the head and he wants to deal with our hearts today yes he does so if that's you if you're in this place and you first of all you don't maybe think much of yourself you're in a war and a battle internally about um you know your thoughts or your your beliefs towards yourself maybe there's even a bit of self-hatred we want to just take a moment to respond to that because the holy spirit is here mark in the first service he had this picture of the lord sticking a sword into the ground and that being a release of freedom for the body of christ to come on come out from under the the powers of the principalities of things that are in the air that are swirling all around us and so if that's you and you feel like you've been struggling with some thoughts or maybe a sense of heaviness or depression or just even some self-hatred i want to invite you to be really bold and just to put your hand up and just maybe stand up because we want to do an exchange in just a minute yeah i also feel like part of that is maybe you felt like someone has had things that have been set has done things to hurt you that's caused you pain to feel a bit stuck as well maybe someone you know who's close to you so without any shame i want to invite you to stand and today is a day of freedom the other thing is if um if you've been struggling in your marriage we felt particularly that in your relationship if there's been some disconnection again there's no shame in that it's just the lord is here to bring healing and to bring freedom today and if you if you've had some struggles in your marriage i want to invite you to stand and if you've had struggles in other relationships within your sphere with the family or members or other things i want to invite you to stand because the god of reconciliation the god of breakthrough is here for us today and it's a very simple thing it's you know what we've just read right now in in colossians 3 is that through christ he's reconciled to himself to the father all things whether on earth or in heaven making peace by the blood of the cross in jesus's flesh and in his body in his uh in his blood he's set us free and so it's a simple divine exchange that he's done which all that was wrong with us he's taken and all that was right with him he's given to us and so there's this simple exercise and activation we want you to do i want to encourage you to do is to put your left hand out just like this and all the things that you're carrying of disconnection of heaviness of anxiety of pain towards other people of the the wounds of other people's words of of the disconnection in marriage of breakdown and family relationships i want what i want you to do is i want you to take it because it's sitting within you so take it off you with your right hand and stick it into your left hand and name it as you do it just do it under your breath but just take off okay anxiety fear disconnection bickering or something powerful about activation of actually doing this in the physical that's that's demonstration of what jesus has done in the spirit realm so i want to encourage you do that what else do you need to do is that disconnection from marriages you know anger towards your spouse or a sense of frustration or a sense of hopelessness that you've been looking to god and you've been waiting for breakthrough but that breakthrough hasn't come and and as we said as well even disconnection from your true heart where you feel like you've maybe let go of dreams in this season where you're like i don't i i the safest thing feels like to let go we want i want to invite you to just pull that hopelessness out or the loss of dreams or the death of vision out because that's been one thing in this season that the enemy has tried to rob us of as the body is vision and so just just remove that from your bite do a prophetic act of removal of of that from your body and put it in your left hand so once you have it all when you've taken it all off you all heaviness and all anxiety whatever else it is and we're just in your mind's eye in your imagination to offer it up to jesus this is a moment of divine exchange because he's reconciled us and he's made peace in his body and so offer that up to jesus and here's my expectation and my my understanding this in your mind's eye see what he's going to do with it and my expectation is he's going to take it right off you right now just offer it to him let it go let it go let go of the offense let go of the fear let go of the hurt let go of the image that you've had let it go just offer it up and then ask jesus this simple question jesus what do you have for me in return because it's a divine exchange what have you got for me in return and again just in your mind's eye let's wait and see what has he got maybe he's going to speak to you maybe he's going to show you a picture there's something that he's got for you in place of that [Music] peace joy freedom and love supernatural love whatever it might be when you receive that just bring it back into you and say thank you jesus i receive that i receive that and name it what is it is it peace name it thank you jesus that you've i receive your peace thank you jesus i receive your joy a new perspective freedom self-control whatever whatever it might be [Music] i receive those dreams and vision i receive it from you jesus clarity clarity just welcome it back in say thank you jesus we're just receiving this divine exchange [Music] another thing i i also had really felt which we did in the first service was i i feel like the lord is really wooing the prodigals those who children who have been wayward maybe for a little while or a long way maybe just got lost in the swirl of of you know just the recent times and chaos and i feel like the lord wants us by faith to call them back home because i feel like he is chasing them down with his love at the moment and there's an element of we release them to him but actually we stand in faith and we call them home and welcome them home so i'm just going to invite you to stand we're going to do this all together and if there's if you know a prodigal someone in your family maybe it's a child maybe it's a a friend a colleague [Music] i want you just by faith just to say their name and say i call you home i call you home i call you home i welcome you home i welcome you into the father's arms i we declare he is your safe place he is your refuge he is the lover of your soul prodigals we welcome you home those who have been wayward and and in self-destructive behaviors we just declared dreams and visions and visitations in the night christ and we just welcome you back to your father's love we say welcome home to you come home and we just command we just stand with jesus and we say to the enemy the lord rebuke you satan the lord push you back from their lives the lord hold ho just just silence the accuser in their ears lord and father would your voice the father's voice be the only voice that they hear as they go to bed speak to them give them dreams and visitations lord we welcome you home prodigals we make room for you in the house of god yes there's a space for you yeah so we speak to the seed of the gospel that's been implanted that impenetrable seed that's on the inside of them and we say bear fruit in jesus name we call forth that seed of the truth that which even maybe has been lying dormant that which was once flourishing but it's now dormant we call it forth and we speak it forth come forth fruit let the seed of the gospel bear its fruit it speaks all stoniness we speak to the weeds of their heart we say be clear and be gone in jesus name thank you lord thank you lord [Music] i just one more thing i really felt also was um the father wants to release the ruach of god the breath of life into anyone who has lung issues i was healed of asthma i had lifelong asthma and in 2010 i was just healed in an instant of having to have a an inhaler with me constantly and not being able to do certain things or being restricted by by you know allergies and different things and god supernaturally healed me and just before i just felt like a breath and i feel like the lord wants to breathe into anyone with lung issues so it could be it could be like a bronchitis or it could be just scarring in the lungs it could be asthma so if if you if that's you can you just raise your hand we just want to release healing over you right now the kingdom of god okay kingdom of god come will of god be done father thank you for that divine exchange again right now lord any sickness or asthma or lung issues we command them to leave and we receive the breath of god into every every person's lungs who's been struggling in this room ruach just breathe upon them right now lord we declare healing and freedom in jesus name and we break off any generational curses of um asthma and lung disease or lung issues and we declare a restoration where there has been damage a restoration in jesus name kingdom of god come kingdom of god come on sort of share a testimony we had um you can have a seat if you want we had a a friend in the last couple of weeks that was in hospital with covert very severely and um was in icu and uh having to have assistance in breathing and other things and um we were praying ash and i many people have been praying many people have been praying but on the sunday morning we just prayed on the way to church and we were just saying lord would you walk into the hospital room and bring healing and um the following morning the following afternoon we got a text and a testimony of from her friend's wife who was saying that at 2 30 in that morning the hospital door just opened up with a cool breeze that came in and he was looking around and saying who's there who was there there was no response just just a cool breeze but then he heard this he said he heard this voice and the voice said i am breakthrough and i am here [Music] i am breakthrough and i am here and i i forget the exact numbers but then his when his wife texted us he said she said at 8 30 that morning his blood oxygen was really low something we're in the 50s percent and by 2 30 that afternoon his blood oxygen was like 95 on 98 which the nurses said that never happens because he was in the icu and intubated and so he next day he was up and eating walking around by friday he was home [Music] come on glory to jesus so i am breakthrough i believe we're in a season of an increased manifestation of the glory of god and the breakthrough of heaven [Music] and so we welcome breakthrough right now you know i wasn't sure i'm not sure i've been asking the lord was that you jesus or was that an angel an angel of breakthrough but we welcome breakthrough [Music] this welcome breakthrough in your own life welcome breakthrough [Music] he's the guard of the [Music] breakthrough he's the god of the possible those things which are impossible with man are possible with god and our faith is that which connects us to the impossible sorry that our impossible our faith connects us to the possible of heaven so just right now if you need any breakthrough if you need anything at all you're needing a miracle from heaven just reach up into the invisible realm of the kingdom that's all around you and welcome breakthrough in your life [Music] welcome breakthrough [Music] the lord of glory the god of the possible our holy ground is our impossibility and our impossibility is god's holy ground it's the place where god shows himself to be big and beautiful and glorious we've been singing let heaven come we've been singing yours as the kingdom the reality is is that he is the king and where he is the king is his rule and where his his rule it's his realm and you and i we're in the realm of the glorious king that king is the king of the is the kingdom of the beloved jesus is the beloved king and his love is for us and his love is with us and so we welcome breakthrough right now we reach up into the invisible realm of the kingdom and we declare breakthrough in this season we're in a new season an era of breakthrough and we welcome breakthrough and we take hold of that in the invisible realm and we pull it into this vat into this natural realm we put it in we pull the breakthrough in right now by faith we lay hold of that by faith and we pull it in and we release it into our lives by faith by faith thank you lord i think it's just good it'll be appropriate right now in this moment actually just to go back into a little bit of worship as we wrap up we're going to do communion that's right i forgot all about communion thank you we don't want to miss out on these delicious wafers no aren't you glad that the body of jesus tastes better than this thing yes i am okay so i'm going to read one corinthians chapter 11 23 for i receive from the lord what i also deliver to you that the lord jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread and when he had given thanks he broke it and said this is my body which is for you do this eat it in remembrance of me in the same way he also took the cup after supper saying this cup is the new covenant in my blood do this as often as you drink it in remembrance of me for as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup you proclaim the lord's death until he returns the lord's death is and his resurrection is the moment of divine exchange where our sin was laid upon him and his righteousness was given to us by faith where his riches were given to us and our poverty he took on and so right now we take this body of jesus as this wafer symbolic of the body of jesus and we we feast on it and as we eat it we're reminded as it becomes part of us we're reminded of the reality of the truth that we have been united with him and that as with this crack of wafer goes into us and becomes part of us we he's in us and we're hit in him let's eat it together thank you jesus for your broken body thank you that you have made us one with you and we we look at this juice the blood of the new covenant lord your blood that was shed for us your blood that speaks a better word your blood that cleanses us from all unrighteousness that heals us of all our diseases so if there's any disease left in anyone's body as we drink this juices it represents your blood we receive healing for every disease in jesus name we celebrate all that you've done jesus [Music] this is our confidence not in our inability not in our own strength but in the blood of jesus the body of jesus that was broken for us in his resurrection life that's been included in us the gift of faith that's been released to us this is our confidence so i want to invite you one more time just to stand and we're going to take some time just to declare and worship the magnificent name of jesus whatever song you want to do you got it thanks dallas jesus ellie thanks hope thank you
