"Self-Deliverance" | POWER HOUR | Ep.127

[Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Laughter] [Music] foreign [Music] hello youtube land and uh we are delighted that you are here and delighted to go on another journey talking about demons and freedom and lots of good things to learn today with the three of us and i have the awesome duo that is sam and nate with me today amazing amazing members of my team um anointed men of god integris pure gifted prophetically what a stat what staff members they are let's just have a moment of celebrating these guys uh this morning before we hear what they've got to say and nate you must have changed your light you're looking very sharp in the in the uh the you've got a new ring light for broadcasting no actually we have messed with the lights a little bit we have the same lighting but this big window i got to get some dark out curtains in here because unfortunately um sometimes it looks great and sometimes it looks overly too bright so exposed has been adjusting and playing with them a little bit more luckily when megan's on i'm able to kind of play with the camera a little bit more um besides when i'm on trying i can't do that at the same time okay and i notice uh your baby yoda i know that's not what it's called has appeared in the back you see these star wars fanatics i know sam you hate star wars but i kind of feel like how can you hate star wars and be part of our family i just don't quite understand it it's like somebody turning up at my house and saying i hate cheese i mean like cheese is like our life source i know it's jesus too but cheese is like my go-to food and like star wars is like the go-to film exactly absolutely star wars is so overrated you know i'll tell you i'll tell you what my problems with star wars is see if it wasn't so hyped so hyped i would probably enjoy it see if it was just like ah it's good yeah it's not too bad i'd think yeah it's a decent movie because it's so hyped every single time i watch it i'm so disappointed i'm like oh for that two and a half hours of meh i i think i think we need to have um once we're allowed to get together sam um star wars marathon a straight up star wars marathon oh no no we i will pray with you through it and help you be delivered in a place that you can receive the glorious um star wars sarah elizabeth i adore your comment sam's already said he hates shortbread sad what's happening to you the shortbread i really don't like i really don't like shortbread star wars i'm just like it's overrated do you know what the other thing sam is i've never seen you in a kilt oh i've worn a cow quite a few times why have i never seen you in a kilt well when have we been to a wedding together really maybe true true anyway but the the star wars character behind you uh nate uh grogu or wherever he is yoda's baby yoda's grandchild i tell my voice we had an amazon delivery just before christmas and the delivery driver said um oh the label's fallen off can you just open it and check whether it's a parcel for you so i opened it and of course it was exactly that baby yoda and i and the boys were like you bought us a baby yoda and i'm like no i didn't order this that it's not for me and the delivery driver took away and there was weeping and there was wailing and there was gnashing of teeth that mommy had not bought them a baby yoda and that they had the opportunity and honesty and integrity had paid out and i told the driver it wasn't mine so there we go well they're a hot item they really are it's funny because i've been trying to get my wife to let me buy this um i want the mando one he's a big one just like that but it's got mandalorian and he's holding the child and uh anyway looking for him in stock is it's quite crazy how hot they really are finding these things um not that you know i'm sure there's a lot more other star wars fans out there that would appreciate these things but emma if you need help finding the child let me know i'll find some for your boys maybe i need to buy something my boys have probably really really liked that though the home schooling continues painfully late last night at about half 10 i was rehashing with the children uh what anthropomorphism is as opposed to personification as opposed to uh skeuomorphism so all these kind of english terms uh and i'm like my goodness me this homeschooling his heart his hard work but they now know the difference but in anthropomorphism and personification so at least i feel like i've done something decent in the home school how are they learning that at school well i have to say i got so bored of the rubbish syllabus that i have added that's such an emma stark move right there that is i'm just gonna upgrade and re-change the syllabus so something better i tell you what day what david and i were chatting about yesterday is um now i must be am i jen gen x i'm gen x you guys are and then so peter must be jersey but my youngest probably is generation covid but anyway these younger ones what they're doing is you know i'm great i'm big brained i'm big brained i'm goated which is the greatest of all time and there's such a sense of you know i don't have any self-issue self image issues i'm so amazing i'm so gorgeous and david and i i find that right across the board of from millennials dying and david and i are saying how many years have deeper healers spent with the gen zeds and older doing the who you are in christ you know dealing with our low self-esteem well what are the deeper healers of tomorrow going to have to do with the younger generation because they don't need built up they need a good dose of humility and i were yesterday constructing a who i'm not in christ kind of the opposite to all the hard work of who i am in christ i am not the greatest of all time in christ i am not you know the big brained one jesus says you know and i've got my boys nice saying i lied self-praise is no recommendation so if i'm here they i'm just fabulous they have to say out loud self-praise is no recommendation different techniques for diff for raising different generations can we publish a book on that i'm not in christ for who i know we can have a list like that i don't know how well that would settle no i'm not i'm not sure that would shoot the number one bestseller but it would be a big adventure yeah yeah right should we do something spiritual i mean right so what is on the agenda today and i have some points here really batting around concepts of self-deliverance and how you make sure you stay demon free uh hi kick out demons if you have them a really personal arena of navigating your own spiritual uh wellness and talking about what we assign to the demonic and what we should not assign to the demonic and uh the kind of concept of there's a demon behind every bush um which kind of over eggs uh the role of the demonic on occasions and so we're just gonna back these concepts and chat back and forth and really strengthen you to stand and navigate your own spiritual atmosphere in a much more robust way and where i want to uh start is uh i believe that god is asking us to have a greater level of spiritual awareness and there has to be a growing sense in you of knowing exactly what is going on in the spirit realm in your four walls it is no longer i think acceptable for us to be spiritually naive or spiritually dull that we do not know what is living within our four walls right from the sense of what are the guardian angels around me uh you should know that uh what are the dominant atmospheres that god has got circling my life what are the dominant gifts he is giving me as well as what are the demons that are with me and so i feel like the lord is saying don't get caught up in the language of the seer of sight and you know get yourself in and oh i don't see why i don't see as much as i would like to see because i think we can get panicked over do i see in the spirit or do i not see in the spirit but i do believe that the lord is saying come into another level of spiritual awareness personally and so the lord just started to speak to me this morning about encountering jesus enabling better partnerships with him a better partnership with him and therefore banning the impact of the demonic and so the more i come into encounters with jesus and that as an enhanced relationship and an enhanced partnership the less space there is for the demonic in my life and there's a great difference between reading truth which you need to do in the bible and encountering truth in the person of christ so i've said to the boys this morning i would like them to talk through a regular encounter they have and what it does for them and i'm going to start first the most this is bizarre but and this these are quite quite private but the way i most regularly see jesus or encounter jesus and this has happened for years and years and years is he walks into the room he bends down at my feet and he washes my feet now the first time he did that years ago i'm like please you have got to stop it i do not like this jesus you are making me incredibly uncomfortable what are you up to this is not something that you should do to me i should be on my face at your feet and i would squirm and pull my feet away time after time after time until i kind of almost digging my fingernails into the palms of my hands i would let jesus wash my feet and there was a sense of him taking responsibility for me in that and there was a sense that that has repetitively taken me into a place of acknowledging that he looks after me in a very practical spiritually releasing way and he comes to nurture and serve by the washing of my feet and so now very often when he appears and i'm sitting on my seti over to my right here he'll come in and he'll just kneel down and he'll just hold my feet and that sense of i've got something very private of you emma i've got a part of your body in my hand that others didn't know who else goes around holding my feet that's just weird so you know there is that sense of what that encounter does repetitively is that it enables uh jesus to take a bigger place in my life and it enables me to not partner with the demonic okay and so when you encounter repetitively and you come into a spiritual awareness it is i think the top way you will let demons run for the hills scared of you now we can do get out in the name of jesus i break agreement with you i repent and that is important but i actually think your starting point for being a demon-free zone is to pray for an increase of spiritual awareness and an increase of repetitive encounters where you and jesus bond i hope you are learning something okay um do i see with my physical eyes or my spiritual eyes both depends what the encounter is all right sam nate tell us about what your spiritual encounters your most repetitive ones do you should you see jesus is your friend and you know that when you sit with a friend for coffee you have repetitive lines of conversation you have repetitive ways you embrace you understand you know what you would order for each other in a restaurant i think there's got to be points of relational connection that are repetitive and familiar in their interactions you know uh look is this a good example i know how i kiss my husband it's repetitive you know rightly so because it's it's about being known and being comfortable in that place all right sam nate kick us off all right so so good so so helpful emma um my encounter i've probably had most of my life the way that i would encounter jesus but probably intense over the last five years and he always invites me out wherever i'm setting up that point or or working and i and he doesn't actually in a bizarre way it's often when i'm working or i'm in this back room in my office and he will waft his cloak or or kind of move his cloak in the room as an invitation to me of come and be with me sam come out of where you are and be with me and uh wherever we go to to set or to be he will completely wrap me in his cloak and the most bizarre thing happens i become very very small very small and i'm aware which sounds really upside down of how small i am and it is the most liberating feeling i think i have and in comparison to jesus and even the claws and the cloak that he wears i shrink and become almost hand sized uh for jesus to do whatever he wants and you know very rarely do uh does he speak to me actually vocally when i'm in those encounters and the acts that he does and the actions he makes it speak louder enough and i think because my job you know our job is what to hear the voice of god we spend every waking moment of our life god what are you saying what are you saying what are you saying but when it's about my heart and jesus and sometime that kind of almost gets part and there is a dialogue of action and response rather than of just words and words and words and words and words and and i get set free by realizing how small i am in those moments and it's funny you know and you know i'm in the i'm in here and maybe i feel a little bit stressed or i have an enormous workload and you know he'll float his clock by me and he'll invite me out of this place and then in a moment i'll realize how small i am and how big he is so i can come back and do whatever i need to do from that place can i ask some hi i mean i love the imagery that you're building there of being almost sub assumed uh in christ enveloped and taken in as what clearly you need is your repetitive encounter whereas clearly what i need in my repetitive encounter is jesus at my feet in the sense of looking after me uh whereas you need to be enveloped and enclosed by christ and it's fascinating that god encounters us according to things that are actually very very deeply personal can i ask you sam in that before nate share says how often are you encountering jesus in that repetitive connection at least once daily you know do you know even you're saying that obviously you know how i i wake up and i have three kind of things that i always do increasingly i wake up what happened this morning enveloped already in his clothes and increasingly i go to bed that way but certainly the invite to come away with him is as is something that i daily have to pursue now sometimes as as you see emma um about how you see it sometimes i just know i just set you know on my radar and i say i just know i'm enveloped in his cloak there are other times where i need to be intentionally hidden in christ where i am very physically aware of i am seeing it and feeling it and my body is under the weight of it and but certainly daily but i wake up now and go to sleep i have to say i would agree about jesus at my feet for me it's maybe not as much as daily but it's certainly five out of seven days in a week jesus is grabbing onto my feet either holding them massaging them or washing them sense of i've got your movements i've got your rhythms and the sense of of nurture and and i hope i hope learn from this learn how repetitively familiar these relationship patterns need to be now you layer on top of that worship and you layer on top of that bible reading and you layer on top of that study but but at the heart our beginning place is this spiritual awareness of where jesus is every day and our encounter with him and that sense of that enables me to keep short accounts with the demonic and i have to say the more demonized a person is or the more trouble they have in their life it is not it is not often because they didn't read scripture it is more often that they didn't have a spiritual awareness of encounter yeah so important nate what about you yeah with me it's that place of um i just always see my place myself and almost like jesus is sitting down in a place that i'm actually sitting on his lap and he has his arms wrapped around me in a place of um i wouldn't use the word normally coddle but in this safe place of of coddling me in a place that he he pushes me to them to my limit but again keeps me safe but i i believe for myself if if i don't have those moments on a regular basis with him it is this place of one reminding me who i am uh one i love what sam was saying even too is reminding how small you are compared to god but then as well as embracing it's like he's embracing in a love factor that actually lets it lets me know that i'm not in this by myself and it's this place of of of not only hey you know yes you may be small but i am here and i am lifting you up that i am carrying you through and so for me on a daily basis that is one of the things that carries me through because it's like i don't know i i'm a i'm a very much of a you know a filler i'm a lover i love the blood like love people and i just like right now i'm like i just want to hug everybody and so i think it's one way that god is re-showing kind of one thing that i receive what i love to give but it's that embracing that keeps me going that even helps me mentally emotionally to stay focused in on him and going throughout my day and i would say that's probably my most regular of just that place of just yeah just loving those moments with him oh you're muted emma yes i think we're having some feedback issues today so david is working on muting us i think what utterly fascinates me about what both you guys are saying is um particularly as men uh that the place of embrace or enveloping for both of you is vitally important and nate i forgot to say uh to ask you how frequently does that happen is is that where you start with with jesus every day what does that look like rhythmically yeah i would say i don't always have that image but i know that i always experience that that feeling pretty much every day in the days that that the days that i get so distracted with just busyness and things like that i i really feel it wear and tear on me and so it brings me back to reminding i just need to climb up into the lap of jesus yeah and you actually i mean i know sometimes i will i will do that in the throne room and i will uh go back to the throne room and i'll actually hide under jesus's chair and just feel the weight you know of the the train of his robe that fills the temple from isaiah 6 i'll feel that covering me if i really need a mega retreat and i have to say um this is uh slightly odd i know uh but you kind of get used to the more you zoom a bite in the in the heavenly realms for for long periods of time if i have been particularly exhausted i mean you know where you can get to that i'm tired to the very my very core you know that deep deep exhaustion and sometimes you get that after revelation sometimes just we've not got a good rep you know i mean that's the reality of it uh god has actually taken me up and put me in um on the inside of his mountain actually inside his mutton his holy hill not on the outside which is full of dead chambers this is how he shows it to me and he has put me in his holy hill in a in a rest pod is the best way i can describe it so i can soak in his mountain in a kind of slumber place now i actually been taking that a fair few times when i've been utterly weary like i can go and sleep in the holy mountain of god to get stored and uh uh reconnected so it'll be very um uh of course we see demons in the spirit too we should if we're spiritually aware you'll see demons of course you will if you're spiritually aware you see angels and demons but i think what we're saying here is if you want to be as he said a demon-free zone if you want to limit the demonic impact in your life you have to have a christ-centered spiritual awareness first yeah so questions around that are things like jesus where are you in the room now we've we've what that conversation a number of times over the month uh jesus what are you doing around me today jesus you know can i want to invite you to come and sit beside me that it's not just oh jesus come and be with me but that actually you become a little bit more intelligent in what you ask you know jesus i want to feel you in the seat beside me uh what do you want me to know today in in terms of your proximity to me can i say that that level of spiritual awareness and spiritual encounter will rescue you from years of pain isolation demonic attack because you get so subsumed and uh infused with jesus and so focused on him that actually you are not as uh easy to uh pull down by a demonic force so that's first top tip do you want to add another i know i have six top tips we've already done one just a couple of things but yeah what you said there was so good and jesus knows exactly what you need from him um at every point so please don't get caught up uh and looking for the exact same encounter that emma or nay or myself have with jesus they are examples i would encourage you to pursue a life that values jesus and and that looks for jesus and he will meet you exactly as you need when you need it but we're talking about daily rhythms here of encounter and what happens is jesus deals with all the niggles he deals with all the open doors in that moment so you're not going to get caught up dealing with with little demons that 10 years down the line grow into large strongholds because in a moment you didn't have that dialogue with jesus i i and you'll know it you know emma nate and your encounters he wraps in your cloak or he you know he he washes your feet and unforgiveness you deal with you know paying offence it just goes in that place of intimacy with jesus but don't become prescriptive with it seek jesus and say to jesus jesus how do you want to encounter me today not this is how i want to encounter sometimes that may help but jesus how do you want to encounter me today because he knows what you need sometimes more than you know what you need okay good the next thing i would say so the first one for living demon-free is an increase of spiritual awareness and encounter the second one is you must get better at brave questions and brave questions would be things like jesus do i have a pet demon ask him have you asked him that jesus do i have a pet demon that's a brave question jesus can you bring a heavenly mirror in front of me so i can see some things like in a blind spot that you know i can stand in the heavenly mirror look over my shoulder you know that's not unusual for me to do so that i can see something that i've not seen that needs dealt with or actually what i started asking last week and so it's relatively new is jesus we i was praying about buildings and our need for pet not a patch demon sorry a pet you know a demon that you wrongly befriended sorry for absolute clarity you know uh one that you should have as a friend but you do as a friend jesus what so anyway i was tempted to god about needing a breakthrough in a building for the ministry and here we go around this mountain again and then i said to the lord okay what is in me that inhibits my future or what is in me as a leader that inhibits my church's future what is it as a leader that inhibits the growth of everybody you've given me a responsibility for you know so jesus what is in me that inhibits not just my future but all of our futures and so i think if you're going to be demon free you must ask be prepared to ask brave questions and as a leader you've got to get very very very brave because we know from scripture that the sins of leaders are visited uh on their nations or on their tribe or on the people they have a responsibility for so my expectation is that those that lead me have us equally short accounts as well i don't always get it right but as i'm trying to get right in terms of i don't know what inhibits me i accidentally might lead my people into a stuck place yeah anything on brave questions so helpful did i say that we rush too often when we are in the moment of uh being aware that there's a demonic attack or some sort of demon activity into deliverance prayer and bypass key questions that will actually help us get free quicker and and often and and i do it with my friends and i get them to do with me whenever there's anything like that going on key question where's the open door because if that's come into your life if that's occurred in your life there must be an open door where was the the low moment the tired moment or the day where you made a poor decision that opened the door to the enemy because proverbs 26 2 it says like a fluttering sparrow or a darting swallow an undeserved curse doesn't come to rest so only curses that are deserved only curses in sense that we have opened the door to can have any sort of rest in our life and we've got to get really good at asking those sorts of questions i am feeling this demonic oppression i'm feeling this demonic emotion and that is weighing on me that i i know isn't rather than jumping straight into the get off me in jesus name god where is the open door jesus said you're right where was the law moment where i let my guard down and that curse came in and therefore when you have the answer to that you're more informed to then pray according god i'm sorry that i opened the door yeah i'm asking for your forgiveness and now i chop the demon out as i close the door in jesus name i think with that is the very factor that i've why number one is so vital in what we do as definitely leaders that have been leading for years is that it's so easy to be in a place of leadership and lead from a place that you think you almost feel like you have to wear this facade that you know what's happening that everything's right that that everything's sorted and you know to to their to their view you look like you just got everything taken care of and it's so easy as with leaders to stay in that place even with our encounters with the king that he's not able to deal with these big questions and so that's again why it's so important that for me it's sitting in his lap it for emma it's for jesus out of her but it brings us to a place that actually makes us little to a place that we're actually open to the lord and in that place we've become in a place of um receiving but in a place that is uh what's the word you know very vulnerable to the lord because as leaders we almost put up this shield we almost put up this thing that tries to say oh well i got this sorted i have this sorted and thing and but when we come to the lord we have to come to a place that we are very vulnerable that we're willing to say god what is the issue with me god what is this it and so it says asking those big questions and then we have to be so vulnerable when we pray and so from you know you have to find those places where you're able to go alone and ask those difficult questions that he is able to bring light to to be able to adjust you and otherwise if we don't have that encounter it doesn't really set us up to a place that we will be willing to be vulnerable to him yeah and it's interesting it just provoked a story as we talk about vulnerability before god and vulnerability before each other you know in asking each other brave questions you know and actually uh uh sarah jane and i i mean as you know we've been you know best friends for years and years and um she and i will all often say what do you see on me i have this i have this pain in my body is it demonic is it me what do you see in me and that sense of a place of vulnerability that you've got somebody you can ask and not you don't have to pretend it's all right let me tell you a story about my mentor dr sharon stone in all of this and uh i've been talking about church planting oh for years uh we'd already run an opened glasgow prophetic center and we were flying high in things prophetic and my heart had been that i would train the prophets and they would go back to their own churches well they weren't going back to their own churches and they just wanted to stay with david and i and i thought this was not the plan and so their gather drowned me but we had no official church and i thought i don't really want to be a church leader i'm happy to be a ministry leader i don't really want to be a church leader that's a massive misunderstanding on my part because the people of god doing the work of god are the church so i had one but i was just too nervous to call it it and i've been chatting to sharon for years about this and sharon and i are out for a walk and i'm wittering on about church leadership and she turns to me straight face on and she says emma do you think you might be the problem here and actually i love that i love that relationship and i love that ability to be at to ask brave questions but to receive brave answers yeah if you're going to ask a brave question you must be able to receive a brave answer and i was the problem and i to go and throw out that of course we've had a very happy church for years and it took me a while to get there and the brave answer liberates you doesn't it even in the moment not just a brave question but the brave answer the brave response particularly by a leader or by a close friend can set you free even on the thing that you are struggling with and at the moment sometimes that all all it takes is for a leader or a close friend to call it out and the power bring over it um i hope i've done that i know it's sam i remember i'm remembering one instance sitting in your house and i asked years ago this was when i was just coming into i think i was called a project leader or a leader in training and i remember asking what is the thing that kept me from from leading and you said straight back there's a high level people pleaser and you've got to get free from it and i remember years of patterns made sense and broken that moment and i left completely liberated and to be honest in the moment i was like oh you know because it was our first conversation a little bit like that but i got so free i actually talked about that to some of my prophets and friends when i talk about brave dialogue and that just makes me smile every time because that one response set me free in a moment self-deliverance spiritual awareness brave questions and brave answers next top tip i think and i'm going to share some other personal things but this is just fresh off the press yesterday i heard the lord talk to me about this he said this to me emma you've got to tell the people that satan is listening attentively and i thought i don't think i like that now satan is not omnipresent but his demons satan and his demons are listening attentively and then the lord just took me into this word where he said to me do you not know that i govern with my voice that i legislate with my commands that creation comes to order in its chaos by my speaking i do not think and create rather i became a vocal craftsman and the lord said this why is the church not commanding her days why are you not speaking order as you rise in the morning why are you trying to think your way through a crisis rather than speak your way through a chaos like i modeled says the lord and i feel like god took me right back into the book of job and job job 38 god is chatting and he says this have you ever given orders to the morning now he's saying look i give orders to the morning and if god gives orders to the morning do do you think that you would be above that and that sense of god says then goes on and i give orders to the morning that i might take the earth by the edges and shake the wickedness out of it and god clearly assigns a mourning moment where in a decree there is a specialist anointing to shake the wickedness out of your day and that anointing is assigned to a time now when we go through scripture we can see different anointings for different hours in different days but god in job 38 says to us you can shake the wickedness out of your day by an order vocally given in the morning so good come on and so the lord is saying you must speak because satan is listening and he wants to know will you crush him by your decrees or will you empower him by your silence satan is attentive to the movement of your mouth and so when we're talking about white self-deliverance or personal freedom personal liberation or battling with that we are not doing the the usual teaching here on i hope you're getting a completely different sense today of how demon free if you are not commanding vocally the wickedness out of your mourning at the appointed time what do you think is going to happen you'll miss the moment to order your day righteously i mean that's right in the picture stab demons in the process yeah especially important in the morning as well in the morning set the tone of your day by how you speak how you pray what you decree each day that should be almost a habit or a god discipline a rhythm in your life that there is a sense of how you speak over yourself over your day and etc etc and the thing is look particularly when we're going through something if we're not speaking about it in a god sense the enemy is going to take that over and start to speak about on our behalf and rewrite a narrative so we have to be those who usurp that plan of the enemy and speak what god wants to say about a situation and speak words of truth and words of breakthrough so that the enemy doesn't have an opportunity to come and and release his own narrative about a situation nate you want to add to that the place of decrees and talking rather than just thinking yeah yeah but i think that's another place that if we're not careful we we get in a place that um we can almost open the door if we don't bring into light in that moment to say no this is not the way this is and sometimes it's that place that you're like well i'm thinking it i'm thinking this or i'm this is what i'm feeling well it's not you have to go beyond what you're thinking and feeling you speak it out loud and that's when the breakthrough actually happens and then that's when that door can slam shut that you may have slowly opened or tried to open or you've let almost open because you've not decreed who you are and what's going on in that day yes now for those of you interested scripture uh you kind of piece it together divides the night into uh three are chunks and so you you read about the watches the watches of the night and so that dawn watch job 38 just for those who are asking again that job 38 watch of the morning is where you shake wickedness out of the day okay that's particularly uh the defining moment of aligning your day now we're gonna we're gonna slightly change tack here because i want to go somewhere different so we're talking about how i create an atmosphere that's demon free how i stop the partnership with the demonic rather than just get out of me in jesus name i want to say this sometimes we assign too much to demons and sometimes we've got to be intelligent enough to ask the question god am i walking height a judgment yeah god in this situation that i am in not an issue of oh i'm under attack pray for me oh i feel oppression but is it actually that you are walking out a judgment now i'm going to tell you a very personal story and do with it what you will and a couple of other people's personal stories but a little bit more anonymously i think it must have been before samuel was born so we're talking he's 12 12 years ago uh david and i behaved financially really presumptuously and we had a perfectly adequate kitchen which we ripped out and we um borrowed money um to put a new kitchen in and it wasn't i'm not saying borrowing money is wrong or other loans are wrong in different moments but for us in that moment it was not a god-blessed thing it was a presumptuous thing and i remember feeling that conviction of god that this was not the action i was to take but we ripped out the kitchen and we put one in when we sold that property and um a couple of years later in fact it was two houses later when we were renting we we sold what we had to come into ministry we were offered a month to live in uh by a church in the area and we didn't really look at it but i walked in and if i had been able to turn and walk out i would have done and i hated living in that house and it was so old it was so damp the kitchen was hanging up off its hinges it was 40 years old that kind of room that no matter how much you clean it you just can't like grease ingrained in the walls and the wood and a cooker that just never ever worked in this rented accommodation and i remember standing in the kitchen crying because of course i love to cook and i'm saying to god why did you bring us here and why am i in a house that i hate and god said i brought you here to walk out a judgment and i needed to train you and to discipline you and teach you a lesson and i put you in a difficult place because you ripped out a kitchen that you had no business doing that was much younger than this one and i have put you in a house with a kitchen that you will hate because you will learn this way not to be presumptuous with me and you will walk out a judgment hmm now that is cause and effect or reaping and sowing now many of you will have taken jobs that you were never supposed to have i remember another prophet who who's well known saying this to me i took a mortgage for a house that god had told me not to take and i then had to pay it off and i never got a birthday present for years anything i was given i asked for cash to as quickly as i could get myself out of this behavior now if we're honest we walk out judgments can i tell you this you can walk out a judgment by a lack of courage you can lack courage to take a good decision or a brave decision and you can walk out a judgment by over cautiousness can i say this has nothing to do with the demonic and we must learn when is a discipline moment from when is a demonic oppression and can i add to this most of the old testament is written either the people of god are pre-exiled or they're in exile the exilic period or they're post-exilic and all of the the old testament hangs around pre-exilic exilic and post-exilic so when you read you're always reading they're in exile they're going into exile they're coming out of exile now what that should teach you is that there is a continual rhythm of blessing and correction am i point to reap and so so am i in a repentance or am i walking out of a reaping and a sewing into blessing you've got to know the answers to those kind of questions now when i'm training prophets i i ask them to know that for their nation is this nation a bite to go into exile and there are some in the earth that just did they went into exile now you can repent it shouldn't scare you it should delight you and i'll tell you why it should delight you not scare you because god only disciplines those he loves and actually that verse in hebrews 12 he disciplines those he loves it goes on to say he punishes each one he accepts as a child and that whole concept is preceded by do not lose heart when you are rebuked now i could list you scripture after scripture after scripture like let's take psalm 119 in faithfulness you have afflicted me or hosea 2 verse 6. i have blocked her path with thorn bushes can i say this to you in the old testament blessing comes by being prosperous in the new testament blessing comes in adversity oh that says sealer right now you've got to hear me say this again and because we have too much of an old testament mindset in the old testament blessing is about being prosperous and rich in the new testament blessing is a bite adversity and suffering because it is in the new testament that god says to you you must rejoice in persecution suffering adversity and discipline and do not lose heart because it is in the living out of the judgment that i can create in you hope and character and we are leading a generation out of biblical truth oh i can feel the glory of god on this we are lying i pray we lie to generations coming after us telling us that it's all about blessing it's all about having your cake and eat it it's all about prosperity it's all about likes and numbers and bank accounts and i rage in my spirit and the prophets online who make you decree that you're going to be rich because i know in the new testament that my blessing comes in my adversity fed up when we say oh it's a demon it's a demon it's a demon it's a demon it's a demon it's a demon no don't squander what god is doing don't squander the lessons that i'm in rhythms of blessing and correction i'm in rhythms of exile and post-exile her glory in my trials i rejoice that god kites me worthy to suffer i rejoice that i feel some of the pain in the pandemic i rejoice that i'm navigating emotions of loneliness and battling day to day that in some way i am counting a cost that in the adversity of this season my character might grow in that place i am free may we never be the people who blame the demon when god has got you in a judgment sam nate what do you want to share so it's so important we've got to be like the psalmists who are able to say great are your judgments oh god or rejoice and the judgments of god because if we're honest i think we very seldom learn what we need unless we are in correction or in a judgment or in a reaping and a sewing moment that is the place that we are refined and we are taught and we are sharpened and i remember before i came to glasgow prophetic center when i was working with another organization god told me to leave and because of false loyalty i rested for months and i resisted for months until it got to the breaking point where i absolutely had to leave and i i wish i could say relationships were perfect from them but i lost a lot of friends and lost a lot of heroes at that point and and walked through a period of of excruciating pain because i did not leave when god told me to leave and what did i learn from them the obedience to god and obedience to his timing is of utmost importance and if god tells me to do something as much as it terrifies me i will do it when he says to the best of my discerning ability because of what i learned in that judgment time where i was disobedient to god because of false loyalty so important you know with that the you know we can't actually misinterpret um adversity and the suffering for judgment you know i remember back even when we were looking to move to the uk and not none of this made sense and all of these things and at that moment we could choose two different things either do exactly what we felt like god said or stay in america be good christians whatever but what i knew is if i didn't do what i was told to do i would pay judgment and pay for all these years but then you would think that once we made the decision oh it was easy let me tell you the last five years has been adversity and suffering with some great blessings with that but it would have been easy to interpret that time as a place of judgment and family and friends would have been easy to say well it's because you've made a bad decision but actually it was not a bad decision i was throwing i'm going i was going through this time of of suffering adversity to develop and shape me in the last five years has literally been so spiritually life-changing for my wife and i that honestly i don't even know really how to explain it but do not let yourself make the right decision and then go back on what you decided because all of a sudden it's not flowers and roses because it isn't always that you will reap some blessings with that but with that it's understanding that there is some adversity there is some suffering plus the enemy doesn't want us to move forward and so embrace and knowing what you have spoken over yourself and speak what you're not only what you're thinking out loud within that emma amen to that and and so let me just recap there we want you to be a people who navigate your life well who know when it's a demon to kick it out who know how to bar and not pet demons to ask the brave questions to be so spiritually aware you know what's in your atmosphere to be one who speaks out your future because satan is listening but to know what it is to learn and not absolve yourself wrongly of responsibility when you are actually in a learning moment i think what's happening now in this this lockdown quarry times three is god is saying johnny will come up to maturity absolutely come on jolly well come up to maturity come on han are you going to navigate my sovereign move in the earth how are you going to navigate shaking how are you going to navigate the squeezing how are you going to navigate when it feels like the whole earth is in exile from you god where we're crying out for rescue can i tell you i don't often pray god rescue us usually i pray you know god send revival or something like that i find myself waking up the other morning saying god we actually need rescued and you know when a prophet has on their lips god we need rescued i mean the nations need rescue that was on my heart we probably need rescued personally too but the name the nations need rescued and i'm praying the nations need rescued that is very different from god send revival because revival is about a resurrection of something rescuing when the prayer comes out of the prophet's mouth rescue us that is a way of saying we are in exile we have been taken captive there are leaders doing evil things god we are in exile we are reaping and sowing your judgment god rescue us and god help me learn the lesson so i do not have to go around this mountain again come on wow what a day david's flicking the book up i forgot to say that he did hand it to me over your face i wrote a book earlier it's a it's a small book it's not alone but not to laundry freedom from fear if you want to understand more about deliverance ministry go on to our website or amazon our website blesses us more to be
