Robert Henderson on the Courts Of Heaven

a man thank you I mean I just wanted you to see her so that you would know again that she exists I true I travel all over the world I talk about her because my story is her story her story is my story I mean we've been wrapped up together you know for like I said for a long long time and and I tell people I said I like her to bring her up because I want people to know she is not a figment of my imagination okay so okay so I was here you know a few weeks ago and I taught on the court of heaven and pastor Troy whenever I when I got through he said you know we really really need to know more about this and and so I was so honored that he would say I would like for you to come back you know on some Wednesday nights and so I'm gonna you know as it's scheduled supposed to come for a few just to teach periodically on the court of heaven but before I go in as how many were here the night I taught on the court of heaven okay that's awesome okay so that helps me because it lets me know kind of where we're where we are as far as in the process because I teach this stuff all over the world as well I don't I don't want to repeat myself but I I do want to review okay let me just remind you that when Jesus when Jesus taught on the court of heaven excuse me when he taught on prayer in Luke 11 verse 1 the disciples came and said to him Lord teach us to pray as John taught his disciples to pray you remember that Jesus began at that point in Luke 11 to saying when you pray say our Father which art in heaven and so the first dimension of prayer is approaching God his father and we wouldn't we're not going to go back through all that but the bottom line is you need to understand that we approach God his father and approaching God his father is the basis of all praying see sometimes people and even I did this when I first discovered the court of heaven I thought well I just want to stay there all the time no it's not a place you stay all the time see the first realm of prayer is approaching God his father and we never outgrow that place that is a that is a place we continue to grow in because our revelation of God his father continues to grow but then Jesus continues to teach on prayer in Luke 11 5 through 8 and he says in which of you having a friend okay so he begins to talk about approaching God as a friend now have you know you approached a friend different than you approached a father okay so so and so a Jesus began to teach them about about coming before God as a friend and interceding and standing in between two friends and all this kind of thing that I'm not gonna go into tonight but the bottom line is that he began to teach them about approaching God his friends so he leaves them in Luke 11 to practice those principles and then in Luke 18 he picks it back up and he says that Jesus that Jesus spoke a parable to them in Luke 18 verses 1 that they are always to pray and not to faint or to turn coward actually it says so and he begins to tell this story about a widow coming before an unjust judge who will not render a verdict in her behalf because he's unjust because he only renders verdicts for what he can get out of that and so the bottom line is this Widow though keeps coming keeps coming keeps coming keeps coming she keeps presenting her case keep presenting her case finally the judge says I'm going to give her what she wants less by her continual coming she wears me out and Jesus said hear what the unjust judge says and will not God avenge his own elect you crack up Dan not he said yes I say to you he will avenge them speedily so watch what Jesus says he says he was not saying that God is a unjust judge we have to convince he was saying if this Widow that had no power had no mind had no ability to persuade the judge if through her ongoing persistent presentation of her case before this judge could get a verdict from him how much more can we come before God the judge of all the earth and see him render verdicts in our behalf so watch Jesus therefore put prayer in a third dimension he ope put prayer in approaching God as a judge are stepping into a judicial system in the spirit ram called the court of heaven okay so Mitzi when I began to teach when I saw this piece when I saw this piece it sealed it for me I thought if it's good enough for Jesus then it's good enough for me that there are three dimensions approaching God as a father approaching like a friend and thoroughly approaching him as judge I may have said this when I was here last time but when I was sharing that with Dutch sheets before I began to teach it and Dutch looked at me and he said where do you get this stuff I said Dutch I spend time with God just messing with him because everybody needs to mess with Dutch okay so so because he messes with everybody else so but here's the here's the point here's the point God wants us to learn how to function in all three but approaching God as judge it allows us to step into a judicial system now let me just back up just a little bit because I'm gonna give you just a real key and then I'm gonna share some things cuz I'm gonna come I'm gonna come another time or two and we'll cut bill line up on line but I want you to get this so that so that you you you really you really get the significance of it let me explain this I know I said this last time I was here because I'm saying it everywhere I go the court of heaven is not a method of praying it is a spiritual dimension okay this is the this is very very important see people try to take this and make it a method of praying it is not a method of praying it is a spiritual dimension okay that changes everything so let me explain you this way every one of the of the dimensions that Jesus talked about a prayer approach he got his father friend and judge they open up a certain realm of the Spirit for instance when you approach God his father it opens up something called a secret place that's Matthew 6 verse 6 it says is this when you pray Jesus said go into your closet going to your room shut the door and the father who sees in secret will reward you openly so I mean I was praying this morning I was in the secret place of the Most High God Psalms 91 and that is a very intimate place it's a very powerful place but it's a place that I get into when I am relating to God as my father because every dimension of Prayer every realm of prayer opens up a spiritual dimension every approaching not in these ways opens up different spiritual dimensions so so when you approach God as father you step into a realm called the secret place okay when you approach God as friend you step into a dimension called the Council of the Lord okay that's Jeremiah 23 18 Jeremiah 23 18 Jeremiah said who has stood in the counsel of the Lord who has were heard his word who has marked it okay so so you step into the counsel of the Lord now that again I don't want to get into all this because that these are all teachings in and of themselves but I want you to get the idea here so whenever I approach God his friend all of a sudden there's something that opens up in the spirit realm and I am able to step into this atmosphere into this environment that if I'm approaching him as friend it is the counsel of Lord you said well what is that which in Genesis 18 Abraham stood in the counsel of the Lord remember whenever he was standing before God in behalf of Sodom and Gomorrha and he said if there's 50 righteous will you spare it all the way down to 10 righteous and God finally agreed he said there's ten righteous I'll spirit so what happens whenever someone stands in the counsel of the Lord as the friend of God because Abraham was the friend of God Moses was the friend of God what happens when you stand in the counsel of the Lord as God's friend here's what happens you and God together make decisions concerning things on the earth because that dimension opens up okay the third dimension it's approaching God as judge what is the spiritual realm that opens there it's called the court of heaven see it's called the court of heaven it's a very real spiritual dimension so I want you to think in your mind when I began to come before God and as judge and I begin to step into this place I'm saying Lord I'm coming into your presence but by faith I'm stepping into this spiritual realm the Bible calls a court and I'm gonna show it to you here just a moment but the Bible calls a court and I'm not exercising a method of praying I'm actually by faith standing in this realm that when I function before you in this atmosphere in this place things can begin to shift and and and the purposes of God can be done in the air so let me show you this this this dimension Daniel chapter 7 and in verses 9 and 10 Daniel chapter 7 and verses 9 and 10 watch what Daniel says Daniel said I watched till Thrones were put in place and the Ancient of Days was seated let me pause what there Daniel said I watch so Daniel is functioning as a seer in this setting in other words he is being allowed to see into the unseen realm and he is because he's being allowed to see the unseen realm that controls the seen realm I mean you know we believe that that the unseen controls the seen that the spiritual controls the natural so Daniel as a seer is being allowed to see and he says he said I'm simply sitting in this place and I'm watching something occur I'm watching something occur watch what he saw he said I watched he said till Thrones were put in place and I want you to notice Thrones not feet throne we're gonna read about the throne but notice it was Thrones he said until Thrones were put into place now we know in Revelation chapter 4 that there are twenty-four Thrones around the throne of God we know that but and I'm sure that that's some of what's being talked about here but the strong and I don't want to go too deep in this because maybe I'll go to this later in another time but these Thrones being put into place or actually places where heavenly beings and watch this even us in the earthly realm can sit in sea because the court of heaven you got to give this the court of heaven is not so much like a American Court as it is a tribunal Court it's a tribal court because judges sit on Thrones judges sit on Thrones so those that are sitting on these Thrones these Thrones that are being put into place it is the place where both heavenly and I believe earthly people get to set on these Thrones and as they said early stones God gives them the right to be a part of the function of this court of heaven that Daniel is actually seen are you staying with me here so so whenever I step by faith into this realm that I have been told I am to move into because I am to approach God as judge I am that gives me the right to step into his judicial system which is what we're reading about here I am stepping more into a pro I tribunal Court than I am what we would normally think of in our American culture why because there's gonna be massive decisions that are made out of this court that actually ultimately can affect Nations that nations will come into the divine order I mean if you read through the Book of Daniel in Chapter seven you're gonna find that from this court the Antichrist is judged go well let me just show you I mean Daniel 7 before I finish this Daniel 7 first verse verse 25 they says he shall speak pompous words against the Most High shall persecute the Saints of the Most High shall intend to change times and laws then the Saints shall be given into his hands for time and times 1/2 table that's the Antichrist and the Antichrist spirit but the courts shall be seated what court the one we're reading about in Daniel 7 verses 9 and 10 the courts shall be seated and they shall take away his Dominion to consume it and destroy forever he noticed a ver one verdict from the court brought devastation and destruction to that what was bent on ruling the world see one verdict from this court changes life on the planet and God says I give you the right to be a part of this process in fact I have to have you being a part of this process I need some people that can that can stand before me in this court and began to be used by me until and to agree with me and to function with me so that what I want to do even in Nations can be done is this making sense to you okay see this is a very listen it's a very noble place that God allows us to function in so let's go back here he says so I watched he says in verse 9 till these Thrones were put into place and I and I would I would emphasize this they were put these Strong's were put into place see I believe the reason they were put into place is because God I might as well just do this because God has to prepare those who will sit on these Thrones he has to prepare them or they're heavily beans on their own absolutely but you got to understand there are earthly people that God grants the right to settle me so you say how do you know this okay let me show you and we'll come back to Daniel but let's go to zechariah zechariah chapter 3 and let me show you this powerful scripture here zechariah chapter 3 let me just walk through some of first of all joshua the high priest has on unclean garments and so he's lost his right to function in the courts of heaven so let me let me just show this jacker 3 verse 1 then he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the Lord and sent a Satan standing in his right hand to oppose him and the Lord said to Satan the Lord rebuke you Satan the Lord who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you is this not a brand plucked from the fire verse 3 now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments it was standing before the angel then he answered and spoke to those who stood before him saying take away the filthy garments from and to him he said see I've removed your iniquity from you I will close you with which rich robes and I said let Phil put a clean turban on his head so they put a clean turban on his head they put clothes on him and the angel of the Lord stood by verse 6 then the angel of the Lord admonished Joshua saying that this is a human being - Josh was saying thus says the Lord of Hosts if you will walk in my ways if you will keep my commands watch then you shall judge my house and likewise have charge of my courts and I will give you places to walk among these that are here so listen to what he's saying to Joshua a mortal man in a legal position not in earth but in heaven he is saying if you'll walk before me if you if you're walking holiness and I've cleans you up I've taken your filthy garments away I'll put a clean turban on you if you'll walk before me and holiness I will give you a place to walk among these that are here where was he he was in the spirit dimension now I want you to see this when when this when this scripture starts when this chapter starts Zechariah or schemee Joshua is a defendant in the court of heaven there's an accusation against him and I've spent nine years teaching people how to get the accusations off of him because those accusations stop the purposes of God see Jerusalem was stopping with the enemy was using the uncleanness of Joshua to stop the rebuilding of Jerusalem so you can understand why are we not moving forward as the body of Christ because we're unclean God had to clean him up because the enemy was using just Joshua's state as a legal right to stop the restoration of Jerusalem because he said the Lord who is chosen not Joshua but then his chosen Jerusalem rebukes you he said the thing I'm really after is Jerusalem being rebuilt but it's the uncleanness of Joshua - stopping the process so you gotta know the enemy comes to stop the process of God because of the uncleanness of his people because this place that we're sustaining is a holy place that doesn't mean you have to be perfect thank God for the blood thank God for the blood but I'm here to tell you that the more we live holy righteous lives the more we can stand in the courts of heaven and not just see our own lives benefit but we can actually see nations shift into the divine order because of it so Josh was unclean the enemies resisted him because he wants to stop the restoration of Jerusalem so he's a defendant Joshua is a defendant before God gets through with him and the angel gets through them and the Prophet gets through with him before they're through with him watch what happens God says if you will walk before me if what he says he said if you will walk with my ways and keep my Commandments what he says I will make you a judge everybody say judge say what zakharik you me Joshua went from being a defendant in the court of heaven to sitting on a seat of a judge in the court of heaven God said I'm gonna sit you in a seat because judges set in seats that's why we read in Daniel 7:9 he said I watched till Thrones were put into place what are these Thrones they're places we're supposed to be sitting in that God gives us the right just like he was giving a mortal man Joshua the high priest as high priest he was giving a mortal man the right to sit in a seat in the heavenly dimension as a judge as a part of the tribunal court of heaven I mean you like to sit there I want to sit there I want to sit there I intend to sit there I actually believe I sit there that there is a place that God has given me what time is it let me see where we are because it's for us to sit in those places because we're not going to see the breakthroughs we want and desire and that God is passionately yearning for until his people get in this place because God wants to take us from just being defendants in his court and trying to get the devil off our back yes we have to do that Joshua the high priest had to do that he had to get the devil off his back and have the legal rights revoked that he was using to resist him and God's purposes through him but ultimately God wants to sit us in the seat that what Daniel saw in Daniel 7:9 I watched till Thrones places for judges were put into place so that there could be the right ones sitting in them in these seats are you tracking with me see I didn't understand this I was in Switzerland I was in Switzerland and I know that maybe I'm shooting over some people's heads but I want you to catch it in the spirit okay catch it in the spirit you don't have to understand everything up here but I was in Switzerland I didn't understand this I was in Switzerland in a very prophetic group they had brought me in to teach in the courts of heaven and of course the guy translating for me was it was German and and we were across the board like I said in Switzerland so we're doing this this this whole teaching and they were wearing me out I mean goodness gracious session after session after session and and and so I thought well I'm just gonna lead them through this activation I'm gonna lead them through this activation of of looking in the spirit at themselves to see what kind of clothes they have on because let me give you a little secret every one of us in this room is wearing something in the spear world and what you are wearing determines your function and your place and what you're allowed to do in the spirit world everybody has something on that's why the priest had to wear certain garments out of Exodus 20:8 because the garments was what allowed them to function in their place in the spirit world okay everybody's got something on and so I was leading them through this activation just just by faith open and open your spiritual eyes and just look and see what you're what you're wearing and this is a very prophetic group so they were very very much very easy to do this and so so they began to look and so I'm standing there just kind of giving direction to the translator and as I'm standing there all of a sudden without me trying I wasn't trying I saw myself standing in black judges robes and they were outlined in red they be like trimmed in red and I thought first of all it took me back for the number one I wasn't trying to see something because I'm not that great a seer so I wasn't really trying to see something but the second thing was I thought what am i doing in judges robes he's the judge why am i got judges robes on I didn't understand this at that point and so I'm standing you're thinking why do I have judges robes oh why do I have judges rondo and then all of a sudden my translator which is very prophetic starts laughing and I said what are you laughing about and he said there's an angel here and every time you say something it is being established because the angels are recording it because of what you are saying he had no idea what I was seeing in the spirit world so I leave that place I'm thinking wow I don't even really know what's going on here and Mary and I end up in Hawaii we did some industry in Hawaii and we were gonna have a few days off and so so as we're about the second day of our vacation time I have this dream and in this dream an angelic being comes and he has in his hand an instrument that he puts into my shoes and begins to move it around and I know he is cleansing my walk to another realm Joshua the high priest unclean garments being removed I knew he was cleansing my walk to another realm and so and put it in both shoes and so after that happened all of a sudden a seat began to hover in the atmosphere he was is this seat is hovering in the atmosphere and as it's hovering in the atmosphere I realize I can sit in that seat and so I get into the seat it's just hovering there and there's a there's a button or there's a control panel and I push the button one of the buttons on the control panel and it jumps with such power that it scares me and I suddenly realized I was sitting in the seat but I didn't know how to move in the seat are you following me so all of a sudden the angelic being comes back and all and three Jack's cloth checks appear in his hand three clock checks appear in his hand and they are requirements for me to sit and function in this seat that if I will do these three things that I will be able to sit and function in this seat and and two of them I don't remember but but the third one was very clear and it wasn't something about right or wrong it was about a point of obedience that as long as I obeyed this thing that God said I'll let you sit in this seat as a judge I'll let you sit in this seat and your words will carry the weight of a judge because you're obeying me in this one area now let me explain this see Rhys house helped me know who Reese how says the great intercessor that that was in Wales that he and his prayer group prayed such prayers that literally Winston Churchill said they saved the Allied forces in World War two because they would pray prayers underneath the leadership of the Holy Spirit they would pinpoint battles that they had didn't know in the natural and they would pray prayers and and literally the Allied forces would win victories they should not have won and Winston Churchill said that Reese House and his his prayer group actually was the reason for that but what people don't know so often is that God said to Reese house do not wear a hat in public now it was an absolute rude shameful thing for an English gentleman in those days to go into public without a hat on and God said I don't want you wearing a hat in public it had nothing didn't make any sense logically but it was a point of obedience and this is what Reese House said he said as long as I did not wear that hat it gave me a place of abiding so that I could pray prayers from that place that would shift the war in favor of the Allied forces you see God will tell you to do things that there seems to be no logical reason attached to it other than it's a place of obedience and it lets you sit in a seat Reese House called it a place of abiding the Bible actually calls it a throne or a seat so I I'm meditating all this I go to a meeting and in Florida I'm standing on a platform with another man that would not be a strong proponent for the courts of heaven necessarily he wouldn't necessarily be against it but he wouldn't be a proponent of it and so we're standing there and we began to prophesy in the situation we're in just kind of back and forth back and forth so when I get done I go sit down on the front row when I sat down on the front row this guy looks at me in front of everybody he's just Robert he looks right down man he said I need to tell you something he said when you were standing up here I saw the spirit God has made you judge in this nation and you are given the Liberty to release judgments out of God's heart over the United States of America he had no idea and I could go on and tell you many other things where that other ones confirmed that place of being a judge now you say well you must think you're somebody no I don't think I'm somebody I I'm actually amazed that God would would choose me would allow me to function but when I saw this in Daniel 7 when I saw that Thrones were set into place I realized wait a minute this court of heaven is not patterned after the American Court it's a tribunal court that has God sitting upon his throne but there are other seats other judges that are said and yes they are has some more heavenly in nature but some are out of the earth realm as well you say well why would God need people out of the earth realm to sit in these seats well because Psalms 115 says he has given the earth to men you see he's got to have representation from the earth and not just from heaven there has to be representation in the earth for God to have the legal right to render verdicts that allow things to be done in the earth so he has to have earthly people that are sitting in these heavenly places of course this is what the Apostle Paul said he said we are seated together with him in heavenly places we just haven't maybe fully understood what that actually means so here's the deal here's what God wants to do he wants to move us from being a defendant to actually taking a place of the judge to be a part of not just getting us and our families free from demonic onslaught and for the legal rights of the devil to work against us but getting that dealt with so that we can sit as a part of the court system of heaven for God's will to be done no let me just show I'm just I'm kind of jumping through some things real quick and and we'll get into more things deeply later on but let me show you one more scripture before we pray Isaiah Isaiah chapter 43 just so you'll know that we have a right to stand before the courts of heaven that what Jesus said when he said that there was a judicial system in heaven that we were to approach Isaiah 43 and verse 25 here's what he says I love this God says I even I am he who blots out your transgressions for my own sake I will not remember your sins first of all let me just point this out God says I'm gonna forgive your sins not because I not just because I love you but because I need you he said I'm gonna blot out your sins so that the devil has no legal right to resist you as you're gonna see from functioning in my courts now if that's Old Testament how much more a New Testament gazet I'm gonna blot your sins out for my sake I need you if you don't function in this realm the devil is going to win by default so watch what he says he says verse 25 I even I am he who blots out your transgressions for my own sake and I will not remember your sins watch what he says verse 26 put me in remembrance let us continue together state your case that you may be acquitted he's saying come before my courts I have removed her sin I have removed her transgression the enemy no longer has a right to resist you as he did Joshua the high priest I have removed it now boldly come and put me in remembrance that's less the way you presented case put me and remembers tell me what I said and began to petition my court state your case that you may be justified because God's giving us a right to function and then watch what he says let me just finish this he says your first father sinned that's bloodline issues see the enemy uses not just our stuff but the staff stuff from our heritage the stuff from our ancestry and I can tell you stories in my own life well in time to come we will but he said your first father sin you're mediators who are the mediators those who have a right to present cases in the court it's the Joshua's it's you and I he said your mediators have transgressed against me so he's in watch what he says as a result of this as a result of having lost the right because the first father sin and the case against them and the mediators own sins that did not have a right to stand because of their own sins and again we saw that in Joshua watch he says watch what's happening therefore I will proclaim the princes of yours of your sanctuary I will give Jacob to the curse in Israel to reproach notice curses and reproaches are landing upon a nation and destroying a nation's destiny because God's people have lost the right to stand in his courts so God says I'm going to forgive your transgressions I'm gonna remove them from you so that you are restored the right not just to be a defendant but to stand and a sit as a judge and present cases before me that allows me the right to lift curses off of your life off your family's life or for church's life see what does the you what does the enemy do with curses the enemy puts limits on things through curses he says I'll let you go this far but everything is some of you also know that every time you try to step it in that next place every time something sabotages it there's a curse against you that's a car that's a sure sign of a curse it just repeats itself over and over and over God said I'm gonna remove the legal right I'm gonna let you stand in my courts as my blood-bought forgiven sanctified holy people that you're not just gonna be a defendant there you're gonna stand and you're gonna sit as a judge and you're gonna be a part of the tribunal court of heaven that doesn't just see decisions made for you and your family as important as that is and breakthroughs come but we actually become a part of seeing decisions made that lets destinies of Nations be reclaimed amen so would you stand it with me tonight thank you Father I just sense his presence in this room now I didn't have time to go in it real deeply but what I understand is that we've stepped into a round with a spirit we've stepped into a dimension of the spirit so I want you just to focus on the Lord for just a moment here well we just want to thank you that you are the judge we didn't even get that far that you're the Ancient of Days that Daniel saw Daniel saw you he watched till all this was happening he watched till Thrones were put into place within the throne the throne of God with the Ancient of Days sitting upon it the Ancient of Days sits upon the throne you are God the judge of all the earth I thank you for the anointing of your power and of your presence I thank you Lord that even from the throne according to Revelation the Sevenfold Spirit of God is released to go and to move into all the earth as the eyes of the Lord as the lamp of our God thank you for your grace over side Court dr. Shi block all day caught that I by check could you pray in the spirit for just a moment caught that I'm on my check I thought about J Elam I think I might chuckle good day equal on my decade see some of you are feeling that travail you're feeling that travail that a spirit of intercession that's coming upon you that is a part of the courts of heaven Ilana check autonomy chain echo Donna and Lord I even since the burden of your people Lord the travail of their souls O God even concerning their own situations so say this with me say Lord Jesus right now as we stand in your courts I thank you that even as the Angels even as the prophets took the unclean garments off of Joshua so the blood of Jesus the blood of Jesus has sanctified me has cleansed me has washed me and I have a right Lord to stand in this place and I would ask Lord than any legal claim that the enemy would say he has against me that that claim is now silenced because of what the blood of Jesus the blood of Jesus is speaking there every legal right that he would claim it is revoked and is removed and I have a right to stand here and my family to stand here holy and righteous before you and Lord we would even desire to take the place of a seat even as a judge and be able to render judgments out of your heart and out of your passion that things will begin to shift and things will begin to move over our lives over our families over the church but even over nation now what I'm seeing I need to close what I'm saying I just see a mantle just coming down I just thank you for the mantle of the Lord just settling on your people right now I thank you for this like coat but I'm on my Jay ilan Doku schita I'm watching I see some of you here is like the Red Sea needs to divide you've got an enemy pressing at your back and it's like the Red Sea is shut before you but you need that Red Sea to divide so you can move across into the end of the liver incivil Lord I see the Red Sea Lord I say from your courts let the verdict be written to let the Red Sea split that the sea split let the sea split I pray let the sea split I pray right now right now right now right now thank you for lord thank you how many you say that's that's me we've got you to lift your hand that's me all over the room that's me I say the sea divides the sea divides and I decree you go across on dry land any place the Lord has given me as a judge in his courts I say the sea divides you move across on dry ground what I'm seeing you need to deceive you to buy because some of you there's the provision it needs to come I say the sea divides and you move into the provision that God has for you I say the sea divides you come into that provision I thank you for it Lord in Jesus precious name hallelujah amen amen give the Lord a good praise where do we bless him thank you lord thank you Lord amen Robert stay up here with me for a minute you don't you don't know this but today my prophetic Wednesday was on travel that was what it was and I did a big teaching today on on travailing I I did a teaching on tears unbroken as' and then on travel and there that's here tonight I mean it's here tonight I've while you were in here preaching the gospel I was in my office p.m. for a little boy who has cancer and we were in there and it just you know what my prayer was just all I wanted to do was just wheat not because this child is defeated but there's a we did a big study today this morning my team we all got together and we were doing this big study on what does it mean to - what does it mean to travel and guys how many guys know what it's like that sometimes you just get into the Spirit of the Lord and you just want to start crying and you just don't know what that is yeah well the the the greatest example I've ever seen it was brother Brian Thompson sitting right there on the second row the toughest toughest human being I've ever seen I'm serious I've never seen anything like him nothing and and yet every time he gets in the presence of the Lord he just begins to just weep and cry and he hates it he hates it I promise you there ain't nobody in this room that doesn't want to cry more than Brian Dawson didn't want to cry I promise you and yet what that said he's like man what is that I don't know why I do that so you know what it's just a spirit of brokenness and and the Bible says the Lord cannot resist a broken and a contrite spirit and then King David also said this - it's actually one of the ways that we communicate the depths of our spirit is it's like a spiritual language crying is because King David declared you have put all my tears in a bottle and have you not written them down within your book yeah right it's actually you know we talked about you know what so what is your prayer language sound like well sometimes your prayer language is tears there's a there's there's a way that we partner with God in in redeemed in redemptive mourning and brokenness and travailing as thessalonians says it says it says that that the world that whenever the word whatever the world moan mourns it is unto death but whenever godly people mourn it is under salvation it says repentance with salvation in life is what it says and there's actually a move of the Holy Spirit where you get in the presence of God and you begin to tears begin to show up you're like I don't really know what that's you know all about it's about brokenness and it's about the whole thing where God says where Jesus himself says stop what you're doing and he closes the mouths of the people that are speaking against you just like he did the woman who broke the alabaster box and begin to weep all over his feet and he said everybody's everybody say you got anything say against her you need to close your mouth as a matter of fact we're gonna forget who y'all are but the world ain't never gonna forget who this person is all right this gospel is gonna be preached as a memorial unto her just for for just a moment you were speaking about the travail and one of the big things that we studied on today is that travailing actually has to do with with childbirth and it has to do with reproduction and it has to do with multiplication and it has to do with there comes a time that your baby has to finally be born and it is actually a very dangerous place for it to be the time and the baby to be born and it not happened right on so there's actually a sorrow there's there's a law of travel that began whenever Jesus whenever God Almighty promised that the seed would come through the woman he also said now you're gonna doubt there's gonna be pain in giving birth so a big part of having Jesus show up and be manifest is having your heart broken in travail sometimes so I want to just throw this out there and I wanted to give you a chance also just to speak into just travail because it's a huge thing I mean like I've been crying all night long tonight and and and I want to tell you truth I don't like it I I it's not something like yay starting to have an estrogen fest I don't like it I really don't because I'm worthless you know I these people were asking me to pray for them and all I could do is good that's all I can do it it's just ugly and horrible and I stupid not but it's beautiful to the Lord can can you just speak into brokenness and into travail for just a minute please sir do you have anything you were talking about a mantle that is there's all this place that's another prophetic word that we got here today was that there was a mantle that was falling apart a new mantle yeah is actually interesting Elijah when he released the mantle back and it came back to Elijah before he picked the mantle up he ripped his garments Wow that's right because under every powerful mantle is a broken heart and a broken spirit and you cannot carry it appropriately without that brokenness being underneath it and so underneath every every powerful anointing that you will see I promise you there is a brokenness that that has happened there was there's a ripping of the garment that has occurred that allows that one to rightly steward that that mantle that's upon them and I actually say this we don't ever have a right to condemn anything that we haven't first wept over that we haven't first wept over because what I see in the body of Christ well I also say this when it was when John was caught up into heaven in Revelation 5 he wept because no one was found to open the books because watch this tears open books tears open books if it without tears books stay shut and there is no revelation you have to have intercessors that cry enough tears for the books to be open because only from the books can you present cases which we didn't even get there which is where the court was seated the books were open because it's coming out of the open books that cases are presented in the courts of heaven and so if books aren't open you cannot present any case that's why John was weeping you realize everything's at a standstill until this book gets open and this is what I say they say he said don't weep the line of the tribe of Judah had prevailed much but heaven needed apostolic tears heaven needed apostolic tears mixed with who Jesus is and what he has done for those books to be open so that there could be judgments that came out of the court of heaven to reclaim the earth back to the Lord because that's what the whole book of Revelation is about it's about courtroom activity where judgments are coming so that God reclaims the earth back to himself because judgments are a part of the courts or the part of the courts and so those books had to be open that's why John wept he wept so I mean my wife will tell you I the longer I've been i've been praying says 1980 and i'm telling you it's so it's so often that I began just to weep before the Lord and I've learned just to let it happen just let it you're not resisting don't don't don't don't quench it don't stop it but literally literally let it flow because because you you don't have to know even what it's about you don't have to know because the Spirit is taking those tears and that weeping and that morning and that brokenness and that to reveal at all that he is taking on it and I promise you it's a big part of the court of heaven because because we think oh I've got to come and intelligently present something before Lord what maybe sometimes we do that but I'm telling you what we experience and the spirit can present things before the courts they get get the results of the response from the courts a whole lot quicker sometimes and all of our others speaking and and sharing and all this kind of thing and because the Holy Spirit knows what he's doing and as far as approaching him as a father and the world cannot be moved when one of them children come to you crying that's right get your attention when you hear your baby crying like hey hey hey what's going on some of there's some amazing people here the people that that helped me save so many girls out of sexual trafficking in the nation of India and Nepal they're actually here tonight Tommy Shyvana Lassiter Rebecca what you guys wave your hands please they're here and they do they do such a work I mean I can't even begin to describe the work that these guys do in the life that these guys live but I went to go visit them in January and we were there and we spent a couple of days and and just looking around and all the ministry that we're doing over there and just having them tell me everything and this is how this works and that's how that works and I had a whole day to myself and I asked the Lord I said what do you want me to do today and God told me I want you to walk the streets of Kathmandu and he told me walk until I tell you to stop walking and then turn around and I walked I'm talking about you know we're talking about a ten hour walk and for fat man s so it's it's a big commitment telling you and you know what I did you know I did for that whole day I cried the Lord had me walk through the streets of Katmandu doing nothing but crying over that city and you know I this first time I've ever spoke of it publicly I have never told anybody you know when God sent me all the way other side of the world and I just started bawling and squalling and that there was my mission trip it's not what you do if I go okay yeah I'm never gonna support your ministry again ever so I but he had me just walk around and I literally went to I went to this Hindu temple there's actually a Buddhist temple where everybody was walking around in a big circle and there were spin this Idol and I got in the same circle that they're walking around thousands of people and I went against the flow and was walking around crying touching these people who crying just crying over there just I didn't know what else to do and you know there's this there's this story in Samuel where the Bible says concerning David that when they came back to zyg lack they weeped until they had no more power to wheat and it brought on a victory in their life where they recovered all the spools where they record it where they recovered everything that had been stolen from them and killed the monsters that stole it from them right and and the thing that opened up heaven and that was their brokenness where they cried and they had until they had no more power to weep that's like praying until you have no more power to pray so I I know that you weren't planning on going here in this place here tonight but just in getting up how's like well that brother's gone are you seriously you're gonna start talking about travail I'll treat a priest on travel today for the first time in my life is is Kip in here Kip are you in here just skip in here tonight Kip did all my research for me today and she's like you gotta preach this on travail God he's speaking about travail so what I'd like to do is I just want to tell you friends that your tears and your brokenness for other people people that you don't even know qualify you for something and it puts you in the midst of something that is so important do not protect your heart from Jesus do not do not protect your heart from Jesus do not be somebody says well I just can't think about some some little girl being sold off into sexual slavery I just can't I just can't think about a child you know that that has cancer I'm sorry I have to protect myself no you do not you do not protect yourself from that the Lord cannot resist a broken and a contrite spirit he cannot he cannot there's a brokenness that comes before God as a memorial where the Lord shuts the mouths of your critics because of your tears because of your tears so would you just pray for us one more time sir and just release whatever you want to and okay man I'm in this if you because it's the act of somebody says well you know who are you at my core I'm an intercessor I began to pray in 1980 you can ask the lady I begin to pray in nineteen I'm still praying to this day and I'm hope I am praying deeper than I've ever prayed before but but and everything that I know has come out of my prayer life everything I know it came out of intimacy with him the Bible says in Zechariah chapter 12 he puts a spirit of grace and supplication on us so what does that mean that means prayer is simply responding to him see see we don't initiate it we actually respond to the prayer at the spirit of prayer and supplication and what I would like to pray over you is that there would be a responsive heart David say this when he said to me seek my face my heart said God your face I will seek that's all he's asking for his response so a God wants to put I believe God wants to put another level of travail of intercession a supplication a grace for that a grace for that it just comes so if you want that just lift your hands father I want to thank you as we stand here before you that we don't pray out of our own might the Bible says what we don't know how to pray as we all the Spirit helps us and we never I never know how to pray as out I'm absolutely dependent upon the empowerment of your spirit to come and help me pray so now I am asking over these people you would cause a spirit of grace and supplication to now come upon them Lord I just see I see something beginning to sweep I'd say a spirit of grace and supplication just begins to come upon the people it begins to come upon the people and they're gonna pray prayers that's going to cause yokes to be broken oppression is to come off I say you are you are now going to step into a place of praying prayers that changes life on the planet I say I say that there's a spirit of grace and supplication that is upon you it is upon you that's upon you right now Cortana mashek at daddy and Aldo Boucher thank you lord thank you Lord the Lord says no longer will will you be brought to the point of birthing but have no strength to give birth the Lord says there is a new strength that is coming to you to give birth to give birth there will no longer be being brought to birth but no strength to bring forth I say you will bring forth with strength and with power you will bring forth you will bring forth you will bring forth you will bring forth you will not faint you will not be weary but there is a new anointing there was a new Authority it is coming there's a new power that's coming over you and you will travail and you will intercede and you will push and you will bring forth even that which has been conceived in you that which has been conceived in you it will not be held in you i decree it comes forth through you it comes forth through you for there is a new power there is a new strength there is a new grace and spirit of supplication that now comes upon you and you will pray with an authority with a power and with a might that you have not prayed with before you shall travail under the unction and the authority of the Spirit of God you will break the yolks the yokes will be broken the yokes will be broken and the increase of God will come thank you for it
