will be watching us online because they chose they could not be here and they chose to try god but they couldn't make it i asked you lord that you would bless them as they watch online tomorrow and tonight we give your praise right now because we know the power to heal and the power to save is present when your word is taught and preached so now god transform our understanding that this is not a book we are reading but it is scripture it is your finished words that we are reading it is your kingdom that we are looking into help us to understand that our bible is an inventory of the invisible things of the kingdom that we might know what exists so we can possess them by faith thank you that faith in the holy ghost are bridges between eternity and time and now lord we stand here together we gather here together the 203 equation has been satisfied and now you say not only are we ready to hear but we're ready to receive so bless us right now save somebody this afternoon reclaim someone

lord is here [Music] he is present he is present he has decided to manifest his power amongst us today so if you need a miracle you need a breakthrough not next week but right now [Music] i need you to reach for the lord by faith with your hands press on that horn make a sound that heaven will hear and identify hell is afraid right now because manifestation rebukes him i bless your name in the name of jesus amen [Music] as we continue in our series the power of confession i ask you to turn to job chapter 22. job chapter 22 verse 27 and 28. job chapter 22 verse 27. and 28 27 and 28 verse 27 thou shalt make thy prayer unto him and he shall hear you you shall pay thy vows thou shalt also decree a thing and it shall be established unto thee and the light shall shine upon thy ways when men are cast down then you shall say there is lifting up and he shall save the humble person when men are cast down then you shall say there is lifting up and he shall save the humble person the power of confession the last time we were together we took our time to explain the content of a decree we took our time to explain the content of a decree we broke it down into three dimensions speaking confession and decreeing the understanding being made clear that when you decree a thing the integrity of it is that it must include speaking confession and decreeing speaking words based on faith based on your experience with the lord so you're speaking from a place of authority and experience and relationship with god which changes the way or the tenor or the passion in which you say a thing that when you do something as often as pray and pray from the foundation of your relationship that gives your speaking authority and power but then also we included that not only must you speak or make a sound or utter the words but those words must be a confession and that confession being that you're saying the same thing god says about your petition about your prayer about the focus of your prayer so it's important that we not only speak from a foundation of our relationship but when we attend speak and move a mountain we must not manufacture our own words but we must use the words that god has already spoken now the reason we must confess those things that god has spoken and i hope to eliminate one of the barriers to your prayer in this next few statements it is important that you speak what god has said not speak the emotional words of your situation because when you speak the words of your situation you may be speaking out of your sorrow out of your anxiety out of your doubt and out of your fear and those words will not move anything you need moved it is imperative that you understand that your confession when you intend to address the situation address a season address an obstacle address something that is in your way blocking your destiny seeking to be an adversary to your life it is imperative that you speak the words that god spoke why is that important the psalmist tells us very clearly that the word of god is established in heaven forever in other words i'm speaking words that are already finished and fulfilled and are simply waiting for someone of faith to speak them on the earth so they can be manifested in the situation that you're in it is imperative that you understand the spiritual dynamic because a lot of times when we get tossed in our emotions we begin to speak the words of our anxiety and the words of our anxiety have such strength it feels like it could be god but it's only god if you say what god says confessing means i come into agreement with what god has already spoken the next part of this decree process is simply to decree it means to say something with authority to have made a judgment concerning the thing you're praying about or speaking about that you're not just giving a casual opinion but you're giving up an opinion based upon you've been persuaded by the word of god by faith that this thing is finished that it enables me to speak to those things which be not as though they were so when i decree a thing watch this when i decree a thing the tonality of my voice not the volume but the total the tonality based upon the integrity of the motivation for why i'm speaking is very important because a decree is not a question a decree is expressed with authority what authority authority based on the fact that i have experience with the lord and i know him for myself confession made on the fact understanding the fact that i'm saying what god said and since his word is already established forever in heaven when i'm speaking or words that are already complete to an incomplete situation i am i have determined that god has spoken and i am speaking with judicial authority because the words i speak have already been decided in the courts of heaven so i am coming into agreement with a judgment if you will that has already been made i wish i had a witness in this place [Applause] so i must not just speak i must confess and when i confess i must decree that if god said it i simply believe it and that's the end of it as far as i'm concerned now i've got to learn how to wait on the lord we've got to learn how to wait on the lord the church has historically taught the church that waiting on god is a position of being passive that when we're waiting on god we're doing nothing that when we're waiting on god we're we're letting go and letting god it seems to suggest that god is going to do all the work and we stand back and wait for the season to change the situation to change i would suggest to you very strongly today that even though that sounded good it crippled us as it relates to getting a move of god in our lives because in order to be blessed you must participate in the process you can't stand back and wait i know i'm right isaiah says they that wait upon the lord watch this shall renew their strength they shall mount up on wings they shall run and they shall walk so when i'm waiting i'm active i'm moving in the direction of what i'm looking for because when i'm waiting i'm looking for it to happen i have an expectation that god's going to do what he promised me what i need because numbers tells me that what i speak in his ear he will do to me so when you're decreeing [Music] a couple things you need to understand when you decree it is the official order given by a person or a government you have to understand a believer represents the kingdom government on earth that is a kingdom citizen you're representing the government of god on earth you didn't hear what i said so that means when you're speaking when you're decreeing yeah you're speaking as though you know the king's authority is behind you that the government of heaven is behind you that's why the bible says jesus the government was upon his shoulder the weight of the government was there i probably need to show you this so you get this go to numbers for just a moment numbers chapter 14. numbers 14 and i want to show you this one verse and then we're going to slip over to get a new testament confirmation in philippians 4 numbers 14 go down to verse 28. and say unto them as i live says the lord as you have spoken in my ear so will i do to you i must be in the quietest church in america let me let me read again your bible says your bible says whatever you say in his ear that's what he's going to do good god almighty but i just can't speak it casually i've got to decree it so the authority agrees with the authority that's coming out of my mouth you need to hear me now watch how this works go to philippians jump over to philippians for me let me show you the new testament confirmation for this go to philippians i think we're going to chapter 4 and watch what the bible says amazingly so these pages are blowing again that means the holy ghost is moving around out here amen philippians 4. now jump down to verse 5 and watch what it says be careful for nothing but in everything by prayer by decree and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto god now watch what happens and the peace of god which passes all understanding shall keep your hearts and minds through christ jesus so when i am speaking those things that god has already established when i say what god has said a peace ought to come over you that defies the situation that you're facing right now there ought to be a calm about you even though the world is crazy around you because you have gone to god watch this not with a complaint but a petition with thanksgiving that supernatural peace will overtake your life and you'll have a supernatural calm in the midst of a disturbing situation i need you to hear what i'm saying it is imperative you understand that the decree of blessing over your life the decree of prosperity in your life the decree of healing in your life if it's a confession based on agreement it is spoken with the authority not my authority but his authority how this works i need y'all to stop praying for money [Music] money is a tool money is a response from heaven god provides money when you don't pray for it pray for breakthrough pray for wisdom pray for understanding so you get the peace that you need to receive an unusual blessing some of us can't receive because our spirits are too unsettled watch how this goes so when you decree it's an official decision made by a court in other words the courts of heaven have already legislated the decision now go back to job i need to show you something and then we'll be ready for the new stuff job 21 22. start at verse 21. we talked about this last time just a little it says acquaint thyself now with the lord acquaint now thyself with him and be at peace you see that so my understanding of god my relationship with god is supposed to present with me with supernatural peace if i don't have that peace that even surprises yourself if you don't have peace that surprises you then we need the peace of god to dwell within us because a disturbed heart is a heart not ready to receive what god has promised when i am upset my senses get in my way my when when i'm anxious i'm going to show you a revelation on this in a few minutes when i'm anxious it's hard for me to exhibit peace it's hard for my heart to display peace and therefore it's hard for me to receive when peace is the foundation for receiving from god whoever's got you mad for 20 years you better get delivered from that because they're hindering you receiving from god whatever you're offended about you need to get rid of that because it's hindering your ability to hear and move in the spirit so it says acquaint thyself huh speaker law in the spirit receive in 22 i pray thee the law from his mouth from his mouth receive i pray thee the law from his mouth and lay up his words in your heart my my my mind remember the benefits remember the blessings of god acquainted with remember the advantage that you have because you belong to god acquainted with remember that your treasure that he cherishes remember remember he didn't bring you this far to let you go now remember remember that you belong to him these promises belong to the child of god god wants to do some things for you that he can actually brag about this is my beloved son in whom i am well pleased that he wants to do some things for you that he can talk about to the entire world you need to understand that because of verse 22 you cannot be stopped that you believe therefore you receive that when you put your faith on it start looking for it because you shall receive it somebody honk their horn for the lord because the law shall not be separated from your mouth you're going to speak the things of god let me show you something now go to joshua chapter 1. joshua chapter 1. gonna take a look at something you've seen before just a little different then i'm gonna launch into something you may not have considered joshua chapter one take a look at verse eight watch the flow now job said don't let don't let this work depart from your mouth in other words the words you speak should be dominated by your understanding of the lord by your relationship with god by you coming into agreement with the lord by you decreeing or speaking with authority concerning the things in your life i dare you to try to go up on your job every day and speak decree those things peace and success in the place where you work i dare you to do it seven days straight i dare you to pray seven days straight lord enlighten my mind illuminate my heart that i can see what you're trying to say joshua chapter 1 verse 8 the book of the law this book of the law my my not any book that you read but this book of the law shall not depart out of your mouth but you shall meditate therein day and night last time we were together i told you meditation is missing from many children of god's life in other words you cannot you cannot only read your bible when you're coming to church the only time you refer to scripture cannot be when i'm telling you to turn but if you're going to meditate on this impartation that means when you get your quiet time at home you're going through your notes you're looking after at the video you're listening to the audio so you can meditate on the word day and night because meditation speeds up your renewal and meditation brings revelation revelation for what you're going to have to conquer in the near future somebody shout for the lord right there now watch what meditation is attached to that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written in therein so i'm meditating so i can come in alignment with what god has said for then watch this doesn't say he shall make your way he says thou shalt make you shall make your way prosperous successful and then thou shalt have good success now i'll use me my problem historically my problem is not my belief in god my problem is my own senses my feelings i used to wonder why god talked to me so much through dreams and it was because he tends to talk to me when i'm upset and he talks to me while i'm asleep so he can bypass my feelings he talks to you while you're unconscious so your spirit can receive the word when your body won't receive it there is a place when you are asleep where your mind comes into alignment with your spirit so god can download the information that awake you would think was impossible so god has to show you doing it in a dream so you can believe you can do it while you're awake nobody's talking to me up in here if i meditate on his words i'll speed up the process of revelation i'll speed up my renewal and my transformation but i've got to learn that my my my me gets in the way of me hearing god clearly especially when i'm upset at a fundamental level you're not hearing me i'm not talking about somebody didn't speak to you i'm talking about something giving you sleepless nights talking about something producing tears out of you every five minutes i'm talking about something that feels like it's trying to steal your hope your joy and has already stolen some of your peace all right let me show you something go to uh first corinthians first corinthians now some of you came from other places and they didn't teach you on the gifts of the spirit they were not open to all the gifts of the spirit the church we have for the last 31 years has been open to the move of the holy ghost to the power of the anointing to the spirit of god to understanding the move of god to understanding the separation between the outer and the inner man and there are some times when you are so upset that um that you only hear with your outer man and the inner man cannot get the message how can i say this help me holy spirit there's times you may hear but you don't listen yeah yeah times the bible calls it hearken the word hearken in the old testament means to hear and do so there are times when our when we're risen up in our flesh that god will speak to us and we'll hear it but we won't do or respond to what god has said i wish i had a witness in church [Music] i can i can remember times and here's here's what messes us up grown folk have to learn how to work wounded grown folk have to learn how to keep doing everything they have to do even though they're mortally wounded grown folk suffer under the tyranny of mortgage the tyranny of growing feet on children the tyranny of the necessity for food the tyranny of responsibility so you can't quit because you're going through something you got to learn how to look like you're okay while you're not okay ain't nobody talking to me ain't nobody talking to me i believe if you can't work wounded you can't be an adult if you take your ball and go home every time something happens you're not a grown person hear me when i tell you this so there's a distinction made in the word of god first corinthians 14 verse 14 watch this and it's connected to your prayer life not that you don't know how to pray most of us do not pray correctly something is missing verse 14 says for if i pray in an unknown tongue my spirit prays but my understanding is unfruitful oh my goodness i'm so messed up in my head my head doesn't get it but thank the lord my spirit receives what god is saying to me good god amen and when i pray in the spirit when i speak in that unknown tongue when i'm praying not out of my sorrow but out of the holy ghost then peace that passes understanding can happen to me while i'm going through oh you didn't get that you need to get this you need to hear what i'm saying to you there must be a way that we recognize when we're overwhelmed by our feelings and we need the lord to speak to our spirit and one of those ways is praying in tongues that when you pray in tongues authentic tongues not he taught my tie you time my time not that when i'm sorry not he stole my honda not that cause you understand he stole my honda but but when you're so twisted inside and your senses are overwhelming you with disappointment it's time to pray in the spirit so god can give you that peace so you're not worthy working in spite of your negative situation you're working successfully because of your negative situation you're responding with a kingdom mind to what god wants you to do let me show you what that looks like in reality go to genesis 26 genesis 26 genesis 26 let's see yeah genesis 26 let's start at about verse 12. yeah now watch what happens then isaac sowed in that land and received in that same year a hundredfold and the lord blessed him now you gotta understand the story and the man waxed great and went forward and grew until he became very great for he had possessions he had some stuff he had some things he had flocks in their possessions of hers great store of servants had people working for him and the philistines envied him ah philistines envied him for all the wells which his father's servants had did in the days of abraham his father the philistines had stopped them and filled them with earth the bimalek said unto isaac go up from us for thou art much mightier than we you need to stop worrying about and stop asking yourself why did someone so not like me what did i do to them i've told you over and over again for 50 of the people it's because you exist for the other 50 percent that got in before you is they see what god is doing in your life and they desire for themselves when you get unfair criticism from saints or sinners is because the truth of manifestation has gotten too close to them i never understand why christians get upset about somebody else getting promoted when the spiritual formula is to celebrate the person authentically so god can do the same in your life watch this because if i can't appreciate the breakthrough for you i'll get ego driven by the breakthrough in my life i've gotta celebrate what happens in others lives seventeen and isaac departed dance and pitches tent in the valley of ghetto and dwelt there and isaac digged again the wells of water which they had digged in the days of abraham his father wow for the philistines had stopped them after the death of abraham and he called their names after the names by which his father had called them and isaac's servants digged in the valley and found their well of springing water and the herd men of gerard did strive with isaac heard men saying the world is ours come on man to what is ours and he called the name of the well esec because they strove with him and he digged another well and the text goes on to say in 22 and he digged another well and he kept digging watch this re-digging the wells that faith had already done he he didn't have to find any new wells he went back to the wells that his father who his faith had already dug you better remember you can't be stopped faith has already made a way for you you're traveling the road of faith the wells were already dug they were already done so isaac's ability to place his faith where faith had already been successful lord have mercy causes him to have good success in a famine so god wants you to understand he wants to comfort your thoughts by the grace of god we're doing good i thought i was a little behind but i'm doing all right go to ephesians chapter 3. ephesians chapter 3. want to pick out one verse yeah verse 12. ephesians chapter three i'm going to do verse 12 11 12 and 20 11 12 and 20. according to the eternal purpose which he purposed in christ jesus our lord in whom we have boldness and access with confidence by faith in him verse 20 now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all we ask or think according to the power that worketh in us why does god speak this because he wants us to have comfort in our thoughts that when you are worrying it is because you have probably built up a conversation with yourself because worry is just fear in disguise when you're worrying it means you've worked on your problem in the wrong way you have not spoken to it with authority watch this you've listened to the message of your problem and you now have fear which is faith in the wrong thing watch how this works so god tells us that god is he's able to do exceeding ability above all we can ask or think because he wants to bring comfort to our thoughts go to mark chapter 11 let me show you something else mark chapter 11. drop down to verse 23 mark chapter 11 verse 23. you've seen this before for verily i say unto you whosoever shall say unto this mountain this particular obstacle be thou removed look at the look at the authority it's not a suggestion and be thou cast into the sea that's a decree shall not doubt in your heart but shall believe those things which you said look at the decree shall come to pass he shall have whatsoever he says my mind he shall have whatever he says and god told us in numbers whatever you say in my ear i'm going to do it therefore i say unto you jesus says whatsoever you desire when ye pray when you decree believe that you receive them and ye shall have them so i can't believe i receive unless i'm fully persuaded that what i've said comes into agreement with god i must have strong faith i must instead of taking glory i've got to learn how to give glory to god let me show you something go to matthew chapter eight and i'll be done in just a moment matthew chapter eight this is beautiful watch this now watch this i need you to get this principle this kingdom principle this works in your life matthew chapter 8 verse 8 the centurion answered and said lord i am not worthy that thou shalt come under my roof wow but speak the word only if you just say something about my situation my servant shall be healed if if if you decree this thing if you confess this thing if you say this thing my servant shall be healed why did i take you this i need you to understand the authority you you may not have a full revelation on the authority of your words when they are decreed in agreement based on your experience with god when you say those things god says not as a suggestion but as a commandment as a judgment as a determination see you're qualified to speak for god you're qualified to speak for god go to jeremiah jeremiah chapter one i'm gonna show you something jeremiah chapter one i mean this wind's really blowing thank you holy ghost jeremiah chapter one let's get over here i wanna drop down to verse 5 just to mark something out to you now watch this now watch this authority you have authority you're qualified to speak before i formed you verse 5 jeremiah 1 in the belly i knew you now that means that god says when you were in the womb i knew you completely now before you came out of the womb i sanctified you before you were born i set you apart so that's a picture of what happened to john the baptist he was called in elizabeth's womb before thou camest out of the womb i sanctified thee and i ordained you i set you in place i authorized you as someone to speak for me unto the nations now watch jeremiah jeremiah has a reasoning problem same problem that mary had when the angel came to talk to her about being pregnant with god's son reason can take over and start to deny for a moment what faith would receive immediately then said i our lord god behold watch the reason i cannot speak for i am a child but god thank god does not give up but the lord said unto him unto but the lord said but the lord said unto me say not i am a child for thou shalt go to all that i shall send you authorization and whatsoever i command you you shall speak so this decree means that when we speak kingdom is speaking but kingdom is only speaking if we're saying what god would say get this now so i can speak but i've got to speak what god would say better way to say it say what he's already said watch how this works so my problem is that my life experience has created a belief system and most of us speak based upon our belief system we get saved late in life and the holy ghost has to battle our belief system because that's why we need constant renewal and constant transformation because my mind is not renewed one time my mind is renewed every day my transformation is not one time my transformation is every day so i believe systems must be broken down things like healing those strongholds must be torn down things like prosperity or strongholds must be torn down things like promotion and breakthrough low self-esteem they must be torn down because my belief system can show me watch this that i'm not a candidate for the things god has promised me so the revelation god gives you will always be greater than your situation the revelation god gives you will always be greater than your situation all right let's go ezekiel 37. ezekiel 37. all right here we go now walk slowly with with this we're going to close out with this i was going to preach this to you but i have to teach this so you can receive it because i need this to be an impartation to you as it relates to how to overcome your senses and move in the power of the spirit how to overcome your senses and move in the power of spirit in other words how to function despite the fact that you're looking at something that looks hopeless and not allowing your flesh to be the source of your voice but allowing your spirit to be moved by the spirit and give you words for your situation watch how this works now 37 when the hand of the lord was upon me carried me out in the spirit of the lord set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of dry bones now the reason this is uh one of the greatest illustrations in the word of god is because of this number one when you understand the nature of a bone bones are about strength and structure you can write that down bones are about strength and structure so he's looking at a valley of bones that have lost their strength and bones that are no longer beneficial to one another because bone each bone according to the word of god adds strength or purpose to the bone it's attached to you need to hear what i'm telling you watch how this works now and caused me to pass them roundabout in other words he had to circle the valley and behold watch this there were very many in the open valley and lo they were very dry okay so now they weren't just dry but on further analysis he has discerned that not only have these bones lost strength but they are way past ever being restored renewed or revived and he said unto me son of man here's the question to start to overcome human reason overcome anxiety son of man can these bones live i love god how he does this and ezekiel is smart he's admitting he doesn't believe it yet but he's also admitting if anybody knows god is you and he answered in verse 3 oh lord god thou us watch this time to overcome reason god will continue to give give you a revelation until your doubt is overcome he'll continue to feed you the word until you stop reasoning and start believing you need to hear me that's why it's imperative that you be under the word as much as possible so he can overcome your reason and move you to revelation watch this now again he said unto me verse 4 prophesy unto these bones wait a minute lord wait a minute they're dead they are dry they've lost their purpose they've lost their strength they're now useless for what they were originally created for and you're telling me speak unto these bones now he didn't say talk to them he said prophesy to them that's a decree that's with authority that's coming from not his doubt but from the spirit that led him to this place watch how this works now he says pray prophesy to these bones and say unto them look at all this confession say what i tell you to say ezekiel to the situation that looks beyond hope oh ye dry bones oh watch this watch this the prophecy does not deny the problem the decree does not deny the issue the decree acknowledges that the issue exists the decree is confirming it's a problem prophesying to the bones saying to them watch this oh ye dry bones not hear what i say hear the word of the lord what i like about this is the way he gets the bone's attention he doesn't say hear what i'm about to say he says hear ye the words of the lord that tells me that life will begin as soon as he begins to talk good god almighty that change will happen that will be unseen at first but by faith i believe it's going to happen watch how this works this is beautiful thus saith the lord now he's saying he's he's agreeing he's decreeing he's speaking unto thee don't behold i will cause breath to enter into you and you shall live and i will lay sinners upon you and will bring up flesh upon you and cover you with skin and put breath in you and you shall live and you shall know that i am the lord now watch what happened now he didn't do what we do he didn't interpret he didn't put his own spin on it he didn't decide he knew better than what god was saying the bible says he's about to say exactly what god told him to say so i prophesied i decreed i confessed i spoke as i was commanded y'all didn't hear me and as i prophesied as i was decreeing there was a noise there was there was a sound that something was changing he heard the change before he saw y'all need to hear me i say he heard the change before he saw the chains good god almighty i hear something coming i i hear something changing you'll hear it before you see it watch how this works and when i beheld lo watch this the sinnohs and the flesh the tendons and the flesh and the muscles came upon them and the skin covered them above but there was no breath in them watch this so so this miracle is reflective of jesus healing the blind man and he touches the blind man the first time and he asked him okay what's happening he says i see men but they look like trees then jesus touches them again and the man sees just what he's supposed to see some of your deliverance happens in a process and sometimes if you're not aware that's how god moves you'll get discouraged while god is working it out it'll appear as though god has given you what you asked him for but there's no life in it god would not do that to you then said he unto me prophesy to the wind talk to the spirit prophesy son of man and say to the wind to the new to the pneuma thus saith the lord god somebody honk confession come from the four winds o breath and breathe upon the slain that they may live watch this verse 10 so i prophesied as uh he commanded me i said what he told me to say and the breath came into them and they lived stood upon their feet and exceeding great army the word and the holy ghost work together to produce the power needed to overcome every obstacle in your life sometimes your reason must be overcome by faith but if you say what god says he'll prove to you in the midst of your doubting that what god says will come to pass i need to stop so our obvious limitations are overcome when the word and the spirit of god connect in our confession in our speaking and are decreeing i need you to remember the faith is now god breaks the authority of time they had been in that valley a long time he breaks the authority of time over us sometimes that requires a radical confession and the radical nature of the confession is how it looks to us not how it looks to god but will you say something that god said that looks like you're being radical but it's all in the power of the lord will you speak over a situation that looks humanly impossible that is past restoration will you decree a thing so god can establish it in the earth oh lord that was beautiful will you say what heaven says so his kingdom can be revealed in the earth ezekiel finds himself representing the government of heaven and he speaks those things that have already been decided in the courtroom of god that's why we have to enter his gates with thanksgiving that's why we can get into the courts with praise because in his courts things have already been decided concerning you [Music] god has already made up his mind about you i know the thoughts i have concerning you i've already made up my mind what's going to happen for you my ways are higher than yours my thoughts a higher the inner dimension that i'm inviting you to join me in god is saying say what i said so you can see what i see faith is now and it brings eternities completed work into your now faith brings the completed work of god into you now but you must say what god said i'm going to repeat it until you get it you've got to say what he said so you can see what he says there may be someone here today who has given up on life who's working in through their life navigating life under the strain of some negative circumstances and just like all of us if we're willing to admit it there have been seasons there have been days when we were beginning or have lost hope will there ever be a change will i ever be any different i'm clear that we're not really ready to be saved until we're tired of ourselves and once we become tired of ourselves god will deliver us from the self that we've created i'm so glad you've joined us today i'm glad those that are watching us around the world have joined us also because god is a god of opportunity salvation is a season but not a season that we understand naturally there are not four seasons of salvation salvation is a lifelong endeavor salvation is forever today i invite you to change the season of your life begin to walk in eternal life to begin to walk in the life that has been promised to be more abundant some of you your minds are battling this can it be different can it be changed i want you to know there are hundreds of people today that will testify clearly that this thing really does work it really does work it it it works it's it's we don't have time for the testimonies of the individuals that are here today but trust us when we tell you he brought us out with a mighty hand and the reason we give him praise is because we're so thankful just so grateful not only for what he has done but what he's doing right now and we are looking for what he will do because our minds have reached a place of peace we believe he's able to do more than what we think or ask we believe that everything he said is already settled [Music] that when jesus was on the cross and he said it's finished not just his work there but has worked for us forever [Music] that the cross was a major piece of the redemptive work of god [Music] and god finished that work and that redemptive flow includes blessing and healing and redemption that redemptive flow your deliverance is in it so today i'm suggesting to you strongly as i can decreeing in your life with the authority given me today is the day of salvation harden not your heart don't decide you're not going to accept god's invitation to a new life today's the day you decide to come back to the lord today's the day you get over some historic incident that has produced a belief system in you that has kept you away from the house of god today is the day you overcome that stronghold of thought and understand you need to be connected to god's house and the community of believers as we under apostolic authority sent from heaven by god to be a if you will seed in this community a presence in this community that we might understand clearly our purpose for being placed on earth that we will represent that city on a hill in the darkness of humanity that will guide people by its light to the place called god's church if you're here today need to be saved need to come back to the lord [Music] need to connect with god's family today i invite you to do that how do i do that today pastor as you're leaving the parking lot today our ministry workers will be on site our guards are around or deacons all around tell somebody i need to get saved today i need to come back to the lord today i need to connect with god's house today watching us online write us online one of our ministry workers will get to you as soon as possible letting you know now [Music] the unfortunate have been on my heart those less fortunate have been on my heart for so long and i'm so glad that god has blessed us to be a ministry that impacts the lives of people that are less fortunate feeding people clothing people housing people doing what we do and the pandemic did not stop that and that's because of your faith and your belief in god's work through this ministry here on earth that is because you've decided to impact heaven not only with your praise and your prayers but with your resources so we come now to a place in the service where a response of faith response is necessary i love the fact that god never gives us a command that isn't focused on our ability to obey he commands us because he knows we can do it he says bring the tithe into the four storehouse that there may be meat or provision or a source that we can use to do the things that god has called us to do keep this immense and beautiful senior house harvest house in the condition that it was doesn't look 20 years old doesn't look 15 years old keep this building in intact and so it can serve the community keep our outreach efforts aggressive so nothing changed during the pandemic and then god says but i'm not going to ignore what you do i'm going to open up the windows of heaven pour you out a blessing you won't have room enough to receive today when you're giving i need you to decree that word according to the word of god when you give i want you to repeat my windows are open and god is pouring out right now my windows are open god is pouring out right now my windows are open and my god is pouring out right now a few announcements of course our kitchen is open today so you can order your food online and you'll chef will have it

today are giving options are on the screen on the site that you're on uh those with us in person the bins are as you leave the parking lot we'll see you next saturday tell someone about this series tell them to go to youtube binge watch us from the beginning the power of confession this will radically change your life one of the big hurdles is we we use our mouth to say so much stuff during the day just greeting people and talking at work or with family we must understand that when we shift to god's word our mouth becomes a powerful instrument of the kingdom we've got to say what god said ezekiel was able to restore a situation that by any human imagination was past restoration but he said what god said i commanded as it was spoken to me i said what god told me to say his word is established in eternity forever come on let's pray god i bless your name for the time you've allowed us to spend together i thank you lord for all that have made this service possible are technical crew our musicians our worship leader today both in song and spoken thank you for all those working the lot to make the experience enjoyable for those that have attended and now god i decree a blessing over them right now that your safety be upon them that their prayers be answered that every word they decree is established here on earth [Music] now god bless them on the highway bless them in their homes help us tomorrow as we worship you all day long [Music] help us to receive your word help us to understand the power of revelation and i thank and praise you in the name of jesus thank you for those that got saved today thank you for those that came back to the lord thank you for those that connected with the church both physically or virtually through our connection church i thank you for them thank you for letting them join hands with us as we make the journey of purpose together and i give your name praise in jesus name and everybody said [Music] amen
