The Incense of Prayer: Ask Me! | Pastor Kim Owens | January 20th, 2019

Church I don't know about you but I came to get all that God has not just from me this morning but for you for this territory and for the nations so in the name of Jesus Christ I come against every limiting spirit in Jesus name that has tried to sit down in this place can I get some brothers and sisters that will agree with me that you own all the limitations broken off of your life today I'm after something today come on we're always after something we're after kingdom purpose how many want limitations broken off come on the devil has had his way all enough I'm not trying to hide I'm not just speaking out cliches this morning I'm on a mission I'm on a mission back about some time I got a scripture that we use often but we got a repeat today the Kingdom of Heaven suffers violence but the violence there's always resistance to the greater things in the kingdom but it's up to the blood-bought Church the ones that sir seated with Christ in heavenly places the ones that are holding on to the horn the horns of the altar that are dipped in the blood of Jesus Christ to the enemy come on come on come on come on severing the ports of the spirit of unity that was strict and that constructs and that presses down society clear that we will see the miracles the name of Jesus Jesus to the cross I think you every military sure is dear Lord you are taking us up you are taking us out you are reaching a sport you are thrusting us out every limitation I served Jesus Christ the greater of God the greater of God some people to get a vision this morning of the greater of God every every possibility and wave your hand if you've got an impossibility today Oh God you are the god of the impossible impossible right through this morning Jesus we asked God all power God of all power God of all power come powerful God come break the limitations break the limitation enlarged our visions all gone enlarge our perception and our perspective break open our paradigm boxes Oh God that we have built that have tied us to earth and not to the divine or God in the name of Jesus break it open take a day I'm going to finish today at least for now this series on the incense of prayer the incense of Prayer I hope you've been following this journey on these three messages or the two before this one and the assignment that God is leading us into in prayer I hope that you've been done of many of you have been visiting the prayer Center can we thank God for the prayer Center and for the God who fills that fair center before I go into the word I want to encourage you this is our last week of our 21-day fast thank you all who have joined with us I trust that it's a hundred percent today and as I said last amen thank you all I feel it I'm telling you I feel it I feel it in the atmosphere there is a breaking open I said there's a breaking open it is happening come on it is happening so I just I just pray that you be strengthened this week that you finish well remember it's day 22 that the devil fears come on and every day thereafter come on things are shifting things are aligning things are coming into order things are bowing at the name of Jesus come on so I encourage you to hang in there this week finish in is strong until your neighbor finish strong amen it is strong and I know not everyone can come at the designated hours of 6:00 and noon and 6:00 but we've had people coming all hours of the night and day I mean at midnight early in the morning late at night in the evening in the middle of the day and we I just want to encourage you that if you haven't had time or maybe you haven't made time to make it to the prayer Center Church it is vitally important that you schedule that it's a sacrifice it's never gonna be convenient for your time it's never so quit waiting for a convenient time and make a time and then it's never gonna be convenient to come so make a time come into the prayer Center to spend as much time as you can in there and we know God is shifting things and we'll give you we're we're we're filling filling that we are going to just continue the the x6 and the noon and the sixth as we move past the fast but but also 24/7 it has been the heart for a long time not only of God but of this house to have 24/7 prayer and so we're gonna be building more and more into that God's gonna give us strategies but when we when we reach day 22 come on we're gonna keep going strong amen and God is God is it's going to blow our minds seriously gonna blow our minds so today I'll finish this up and I'm I'm talking to us today with the title is simply ask me ask me animate an exclamation point ask me the Lord is saying to us today fresh start as individuals and as a corporate body ask me ask me beginning in John 14 and I'll give you many scriptures here in a moment says whatever you ask in my name that will I do so that the father may be glorified in the son if you ask me anything in my name I will do it Wow last week I decreed that this is our take hold of it here come on somebody grabbing hold of the blood-stained horns of the altar we as this is our take hold of it here and I'm here to teach us today that if we're going to take hold of it individually and as a corporate body we must know how to ask for it I said we must know how to ask for it God wants you to ask for it today I would be pretty excited about that God just wants you to ask for it today he says ask me anything in my name and I will do it somebody shall ask me Father anoint your word like revelation wisdom being this atmosphere Lord that comes from your spirit and understanding that it go deep in Jesus name help me Holy Spirit amen if this is going to be our take hold of it here thank you guys amazing awesome y'all broke through today come on let them know they broke through today this is not an easy thing they do up there if this is going to be our take hold of it year then we have to know how to ask for it amen there are many types of Prayer and we should use them all we should enjoy them all we should enjoy all types of Prayer we talked a lot around here I rightfully so about the prayer of authority or the decreeing prayer or the prophesying prayer I did much of it while I've been up here today maybe the the prayer leaders in the beginning did the same thing just the prayer of authority there's a prayer of agreement there's a prayer of faith there's a prayer of consecration there's a prayer praise and worship of course prayer of intercession which I'll include in this today but today I want to highlight and I want to bring to light to us today the power of the prayer of humility come on somebody the prayer of humility which is a petitioning prayer or a supplicating prayer can I get a church come on a petitioning prayer and asking prayer and asking prayer in a supplicating prayer and the asking prayer is more powerful I believe than what I realized when I went into it as a matter of fact they came contains as much authority as the prayer of Authority come on and I'll just break this down for you here today but just think of the power of the verse the one verse that I just read jesus said if you ask me anything shout anything in my name I will what do it I will think of the power of that it's an honor and it is actually a weapon that God has given us to delegate his authority to us in the prayer of authority to decree and to command for his kingdom purpose but I'm equally convinced that he has given us the privilege to ask him to ask him to pray the prayer of humility I'm calling it today the petitioning or the supplicating prayer for powerful purposes and reason that goes beyond just obtaining an answer to prayer and I hope to show you what that is today because I'm after something here today come on I said I'm after something here today are you ready I'm after something here today but before I get to that let me give you knew some of numerous scriptures in the Word of God that refer to asking God in prayer as I begin to research this I was amazed at the number of scriptures that actually contained the words asked or asking or asked me etc or petition petitioning pleading all meaning asking God their numerous they are countless throughout the Word of God here are some of them and I'm going to read fast this morning first John chapter 5 now this is the confidence and y'all can get happy as I read the word today that we have in him that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us and if we know that he hears us whatever we ask we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of him hallelujah Matthew chapter 7 verse 7 through 11 in the passion translation asked and the gift is your seek and you will discover knock and the door will be opened for you for every come Oh y'all persistent one will get what he asks for every persistent seeker will discover what he longs for and every one who knocks persistently will one day on that door open do you know of any parent who would give a hungry child who asked for food a plate of rocks or when they ask for a piece of fish they would give a snake if you imperfect as you are know how to lovingly take care of your children and give them what's best how much more ready is your heavenly father to give wonderful gifts to those who one asked him John 16 verse 24 until now you have asked for nothing in my now ask and you will receive so that your joy may be full first John chapter 3 verse 22 and whatever we ask of him we receive because we keep his commands and by our beautiful intentions we continue to do what brings pleasure to him James chapter 4 verse 2 you do not have because you you do not have because you do not ask James chapter 1 verse 5 if any of you lacks wisdom let him ask of God who gives to all liberally and without reproach and it will be given to him but let him ask in faith with no doubting for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind for a lot let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord Mark chapter 11 verse 24 I say to you whatsoever things you ask when you pray believe that you receive them and you will have them Matthew chapter 18 verse 19 and again I give you an eternal truth if two of you agree to ask God for something in a symphony of Prayer my heavenly father will do it for you are y'all getting bored this morning come on I'm just trying to show you how much emphasis that the word places on asking God Romans chapter eight verses 26 through 27 the Holy Spirit takes hold of us in our human frailty to empower us in our weakness at times we don't even know how to pray or know the best things what to ask for but the Holy Spirit rises up within us to super intercede on our behalf look pleading asking to God with emotional sighs too deep for words God the searcher of the heart knows fully our longings and understands the desire of the Spirit because the Holy Spirit watch passionately pleased or asked before God for us his holy ones in perfect harmony with God's plan and with our destiny somebody needs to put your hands together and thank God because he's got a plan we just have to ask him ask him somebody shall ask him asking prayer is a requesting prayer and a petitioning prayer and I'll get a bit more specific in this as we go along but God has made it very clear throughout his word as I've just showed you and this is just a small portion of the number of scriptures that he shows us that not only does he allow us to ask him but he desires us to ask him for answers in the place of prayer I said God desires that we ask him this morning the Lord's Prayer is full of petitions it is full of asking prayers now my entire purpose for this message today and this is my assignment and this is what I came after today and I've already been talking about it I've already been screaming about it help me somebody come up it's to break limitations in Jesus name I said this is my assignment today on this last message of this instance of Prayer Michael che Beckett a the devil is in trouble because I'm telling you I am tired of watching the enemy put lids on his people and put lids on churches and put lids on Pentecost and put news on the moving of the Holy Spirit I am tired of watching the demonic realm put meds and suppression of miracles and signs and wonders I am tired of the enemy putting Liz and suppression on our thinking and our mentality that well God's not doing it so I guess he's not gonna do it that is the lie of the enemy I tired of the enemy putting a lid on this church you say wait pastor Kim there's a great number of people I'm not talking about that the numbers is not what I'm talking about I'm talking about the breakthrough to the fullness of revival that God has I'm tired of the suppression I'm tired of the restriction and the constriction and today I came to severy I came to slice it I came to cut it open I came to annihilate it in the name of Jesus I'm tired of watching the enemy suppress over your life and push you down and push me down our place is not down our place is seated with Christ in heavenly places the Church of Jesus Christ is the greatest voice in this earth and you and I have the power of God to back us I appreciate our praise and worship team this morning there are many different counsel they were flowing with the Holy Spirit about things and I will be speaking into this morning and one of them was the power of God and you'll see more of them as I go along but I'm telling you the power of God is greater than any voice and any line at the enemy and I know we know these things but it's time for us to go past knowing them and begin to embrace them I'm telling you the glory is showing up angels we're going to begin to see we're going to begin to see the lame walk and the blind see and the Deaf come on here we're going to begin we already see it a measure but I'm telling it's going to happen you see mr. came aren't you afraid to say I'm not afraid to say it because if it's in the Word of God it belongs to me if it's in the Word of God it belongs to you if it's in the Bible God says I will do it again I came to tell somebody that God is going to do it again every limitation every impossibility I'm not just preaching a feel-good message this morning I am on an assignment to break the limitation of the demonic power of the spirit of the enemy in the name of Jesus the church will arise in the finest hour and it is now you need to shout come on you need to shout so my entire purpose is to break limitations come on I want you to scream that break limitations come on look at three people and say it's time to break your limitation come on come on tell them seriously it's time to break your limitation all of our lives off of this church off a revival this is the year fresh start to reach for more to pray for a larger work for God I said it's 2019 can y'all believe that it's time to reach for more it's time to reach for the larger work of God and to shatter the demonic lid of the enemy I heard the spirits say ask Kim don't ask me ask him Kim and him sound exactly alike where to go hallelujah ask big for the kingdom he said twenty-nine Kokomo family ask big for the kingdom ask big for the kingdom shatter the lid we shatter the lid of the enemy when we ask God come on when we ask God well we just don't see this and we just don't see that ask our ask God in his name according to his will and he will do it to glorify the Father in the son ask him ask him ask the father ask Jesus I heard the spirit say ask big for 20:19 reach for more I'm after something today to break a spirit of limitation now I can't go through the history of this house but I promise you that it has been one attack after the other attack after the other tack the other other all do throughout 22 years of our being here and even before that a spirit of limitation has repetitively cyclically tried to come and set down on this house so I just decided to get up here today and tell it you ain't welcome here anymore I don't say that flippantly I don't say that without respect I say the Lord God Almighty is the one that does the work but I'm telling you we don't tolerate it anymore we don't tolerate the lid we don't tolerate the limitation we don't tolerate the small thinking cats that the enemy tries to put on us I said the small thinking caps that the enemy tries to we are to have Kingdom cats come on Kingdom cats put your kingdom cats on today and imagine just imagine what God can do in the kingdom round Oh No one of the main enemies of revival and there are many but one of the main enemies of revival is a Python spirit of the church at large but definitely revival is a Python spirit in case you're not familiar with that most of you are but I will break it down just very quickly not going to spend a lot of time on it it is it comes in sneakily under guys under pretense under saying the same things that we're all saying but of the wrong spirit in the wrong realm in order to restrict and conscience and limit the activity of the Holy Spirit this was the spirit that followed the Apostle Paul as he was trying to minister Paul the Apostle had been releasing salvations saul salvations releasing miracles signs and wonders the gospel of Jesus Christ and the Bible says that they were on their way we're thank you for that one person who knew back their glory to God they were on their way to prayer come on somebody how about that they were on their way to prayer and this girl shows up and she's trunk crying out and saying the right things but had a witchcraft spirit because her job was fortune-telling and that is what this spirit will do it is a witchcraft spirit that seduces and undermines the authentic move of God in the Spirit of God in a church or in an individual life it places on an individual life a spirit of struggle and restriction are y'all with me I said it places on an individual life and on a church body can tries to place a spirit of struggle and restriction restricting what the Holy Spirit wants to do restricting the Apostle Paul picked up on and perceived in the spirit that even though she was saying the right things it was demonic come on and it was restricting what the Holy Spirit was wanting to do and what God was wanting to do and what he God was wanting to do through him so he turned around bound that and cast it out of her come on y'all amen hallelujah well come on come on and that's what we do a spirit of struggle and restriction the Python spirit fiercely attacks prayer and prophecy watch now and that represents breath and many times those who are under an attack from this spirit will fill the attack on their breath on their lungs on their breath it will fill an attack on their literally physically and maybe in other ways but but literally because the voice of prayer and the voice of prophecy or the Prophet they both breathe life into people huh they both breathe life prayer and prophecy both breathing life is so a life in two territories and intonation in two nations and this is why this spirit comes to suppress that this is why one of the reasons that we fight so hard for atmosphere around here and why we keep the level at this level because we will not give place to religion we will not give place to this spirit that I'm talking about or anything else that tries to put a little can I exhort us today and say don't co align with spirits like this when you come in this place that is trying to put a lid on it we gotta grow up and know how to bust through that stage and say I refuse to let there be a lid on my praise I refuse to let there be a lid on my prayer and on my worship I will not tolerate the lid of the enemy because all he wants to do is to limit come on somebody today we are breaking limitations amen I said we're breaking a spirit that restricts a spirit of struggle and restriction is so right now before I go into all this asking stuff I just say in the name of Jesus no more struggle in your life no more struggle in this church no more struggle in the body of Christ I pray for my brothers and sisters and leaders and pastors I come against that spirit of struggle and restriction and I thank you today that revelation is going to cause us to bust through it in the name of Jesus I am lay off of this house in Jesus name and I say the heavens are wide open and God's power is being released and from this day forward there will be no struggle there will be no restriction in every area of your life in every area of this church I decree to me soul in Jesus mighty name now shout because God has already done it but what if I say to us today that's something so seemingly simple as asking God to do bold big things is a vital step to breaking limitation may we ever look at the asking prayer may we look at it differently from this point on that every time I ask God because he's waiting on I read it to you he's waiting on us to ask that every time I ask God it is literally breaking the limitations of the enemy it's time to take hold of it if we're gonna take hold of it we got to learn how to ask for it so God is saying and let me say this real quick and I don't want to bog this down but it is very very important that I teach us this this morning something most of us know but I need to break it down when we are asking God he said I would do what you ask in my name if it's according to my will than it's yours as long as your heart is right then bring me that bold petition lay it out before me God says God says today you don't have it yet because you haven't asked for it yet wait Willy you don't have it yet because you haven't asked for it yet the enemy came comes to tell us that it's wasting our time to ask God well anytime the enemy says anything he is what he's lying God says I need you to ask me because that's gonna bust through that limitation but he says couple of things you got to ask according to my will and you got to ask in my name we got to understand today there are certain things that will hinder our asking and I'm just going to say this quickly and we're gonna move on but we cannot against the will of God in the Word of God we cannot ask with wrong motives the book of James says with selfish desires with pride and selfishness we will not get an answer to that s come on somebody those are called unhealthy prayers or sickly prayers we cannot ask and expect to receive if there is sin in our life unless we are asking for a prayer of forgiveness for those sins we cannot ask and expect to receive with doubt in our heart and God will not cannot because there's doubt in our heart we cannot ask and expect to receive if unforgiveness is in our heart or a lack of love is in our heart are you still with me today I'm teaching you about asking God to break through limitations but first we got to know that we cannot ask and expect to receive if there is strife in our relationships and finally men of God sorry to single you out but God did flirty Gong you cannot ask men of God and expect to receive if you don't honor your wives as those who serve gods share God's kindness 1st Peter chapter 3 verse 7 it says your prayers will be hindered but I'm here to tell us today yes God does know our need before we ask however the asking is more for us and not for him God is ready to pour out anything into our life as long as it agrees with his will the ask is for us to determine what our desire level is I came to ask you today what is your desire level the ask is for us to determine what is our obedience level what is our faith level what is our discernment level what am i doing what do i discern that God is wanting to lead me into I'm telling you if you have these levels these things at a high level then you will not be ashamed to ask you will not be afraid to ask you will make time time to ask because asking is doing our part in making the answer come about and not only that asking is a rule of the kingdom of God and even though there are no limits to God's goodness if you don't ask you can't receive it God is only limited by us today he's not limited by his resources he's not admitted by his power to give he's not limited by his ability God can do anything so through a simple believing prayer a petitioning prayer of humility we can change our life we can change somebody else's life we can change a city we can change a region we can change a nation but you and I we have to ask God we have to ask him maybe you're like some people who think the idea of asking for things is a lower prayer or it's too degrading to God or maybe it's begging or manipulating God can I remind you even of some stuff that I said last week the story that I brought to you at the end of the message and it was Jesus that gave this story about the persistent Widow that literally wore the judge out why because she had repetitive asking repetitive asking repetitive asking repetitive asking got her the answer and I just came to tell us today that the idea of asking began with God it didn't begin with us I believe somebody in the body of Christ back whenever did an injustice to us when they told us all you have to do is ask once I kind of get what they're saying but I believe it's super unbiblical and there's even a thread of arrogance to it because even Matthew chapter 7 in the Amplified Bible says ask and keep on asking I said it says ask and keep on asking it says keep seek and keep on seeking and knock and keep on knocking that doesn't sound like to me that God only and wants us to ask once the ask is for you and I today the ask is for you and I because the bottom line when we ask God to come through is that it shows that we are trusting God with all of our heart with all of our life all of our soul the asking prayer is a prayer of vulnerability and humility that says father I am totally dependent upon you you are the one who can make this happen no other can make this happen you are the one and just like children or grandchildren come to us and they ask us for things and it kind of makes us feel good and most the time kind of makes us makes us feel good because we know that they trust us they can't do this come on somebody they can't do it on their own the little children or even the older children they can't do it on their own so they come to mom or dad or grandmother or grandfather and they ask and what is it doing is showing that they trust us and that they need us and that makes us feel good is the same for our Heavenly Father by asking him we are saying God we trust you and we need you and most of all we want to partner with you in breaking limitation in our life so in the name of Jesus I promise to you God and I ask that you break through gotta ask him somebody say ask him it's not that God doesn't know our limitation I've already said that he said he wants us to have the faith that he and he alone will enable us to move beyond the limitation and it starts with asking him he told Jeremiah he said Jeremiah is there anything that is too difficult for me come on in the Bible and in the Gospels Jesus was in his hometown and he could do the Bible says no great miracles there why because they restricted him their view in their perspective of Jesus was earthly and it's not divine I go back and say let's take our earthly caps off and put our kingdom caps on today and let God blow our literal minds today come on with what he can do in us and through us it's time to reach for the greater work it's time to reach for the greater for the kingdom amen when we first started our ministry we're in Houston Texas my husband and I were a youth ministry and anything else that they needed us to do come on y'all and I believe it started with about 10 or 15 kids and my right babe something like that as a long time ago and I remember my husband would get up after every you service at the end of every service and he would pray a prayer and dream a dream he called it yeah he told the kids we're gonna dream a dream and he said we're gonna dream a dream and we begin to pray and he would he would ask and he would call in and ask and 400 youth a hundred youth in that youth group in that youth ministry a hundred youth yeah praise God and you know what by the time we left you know how many there were you guessed it there was a hundred youth yeah well I was clapping then but I was thinking about like why don't we ask for two hundred why didn't we ask for five hundred one at eight hundred why not why not ask second Kings thirty says the man of God was angry with him you should have struck five or six times and you would have struck Syria too you had destroy it but now you were strikes here only three times I say in 2019 this is the year of striking until the limitation is broken striking until the fullness of what God has come amen somebody say ask him God answers courageous prayers of desire for his will and for his kingdom it's time to ask him for God's eyes and the best size that he has in mind ask it with all of your heart I'm telling us today fresh start we can't be afraid to ask God for big big big big you say you're talking about money tell my car you know it's your prayer it's not my prayer I know what I'm asking for personally but also for this house and preaching mainly for this house today what's over this house and for the spirit of revival and it's an assignment today but I want to speak to you first and I want to encourage you today in 2019 ask God on behalf of yourself the lord of the breakthrough to come and break through limitations in your life did you hear me are y'all ready to ask God to break through your limitations give me a minute to break this down here 1st chronicles chapter 4 jay-bez a story that most of us know about very well called on the God of Israel saying all that she would bless me indeed that you would enlarge my territory that your hand would be with me and that she would keep me from evil that I might not cause pain look at what this says so God granted him what he requested of what he asked now this prayer most of us know in the body of Christ was made famous about a decade or so ago maybe two based from the life of a man named Shabazz and his life literally means pain his name had put limits on him in his life hear me now his name had put limits on him and it left this man with a lifetime of limitation and I don't know about you today it may not be your name maybe it's what somebody else said to you or said over you or something that occurred in your life whatever it is maybe something has put labels and limits on your life whether it be spiritually or otherwise I'm telling you God wants you to press for more and this is the year to bust through the cycle of restriction of the enemy I said it's the year to bust through the cycle of the restriction of the enemy I want us to notice how specific jay-bez was in his prayer can you picture his posture of humility and his posture of utter desperation and sincerity to have a change in his life for the better so I ask you today are you ready for God to rock your world look how you go into prayer is more important than just going into prayer Jackson sin younga which is a preacher pastor evangelists from Africa he said how a Uganda I believe he says how we prepare in prayer determines how we receive how we prepare to go into prayer determines how we receive we must prepare to have the appetite for the presence of God and to have the appetite for a great desire that something God is going to do something for us that no one but God can give us come on this is the our attitude and the posture that jay-bez had he had a life of intense pain that had taken a toll on him and some of you in this room watching online you had lived under the demonic lid of pain for too long for so long at whatever form it has taken on and whatever the cause I say today that it's time to rise up and to ask him what do I ask him well let's just follow what jay-bez did and I know many of us were familiar with this but I tell you I'm after something today jay-bez said God I need you to bless me I asked you to bless me I asked you to bless me supernatural favor unlimited goodness this is not a feel-good message this morning you all know how I feel about that come on but I am telling us we've got to understand that if we're gonna break through this lid we've got to get a revelation of how much God can do he wants to move you into things that you never thought or dream or imagined that you could move into he wants to move you to a place spiritually that you never thought about but first you've gotta ask him for that blessing we leave it up to God on how he manifests the blessing but it's up to us to ask until you can't get a blessing until you first ask for it and then Jay mez said god I want you to enlarge my territory he wanted to make a greater impact for God in his life I asked us today what about you today do you want to make a greater impact for God in 2019 where have you set the bar and are you satisfied with where you have set the bar I came to tell you today as your cheerleader as your coach as your pastor and whatever you want to call me as long as it's good I'm here to raise your bar today I'm here to raise the standard today I said I'm here to raise the standard today to get you to think outside of the earthly cap and put on the kingdom cap and say God enlarge my territory it's time to shake off everything that has limited our potential for the kingdom of God and go larger in the purpose of God you are here to do Kingdom business I said you're here to do Kingdom business and God desires to use you to enlarge your territory but first you got to ask him jay-bez said that lord I asked that your hand would be with me he was crying out for a greater touch in the presence of God on his life though that's not a foreign cry to us around here at fresh start but I'm telling you fresh start this year in 2019 the cry at the hand of God would be with us and the presence of God would be with us it must crescendo this year I said that much crescendo this year that means get bigger get louder amen and with because here's the thing with every enlargement of territory there are new levels there are new Devils that is a reality here that is a reality we need the presence and the power of God as we move into the larger purpose of God look you can go into a quote go into a larger place quote go into enlarged territory but if you don't have the power and the presence of God backing you you're not gonna last very long in that new level in that new territory we gotta have a continual cry a raw cry a cry that crescendos and says God we need we must have your hand upon us and then he prank on our assets you keep me from evil this was a blatant spiritual warfare prayer calling on God to protect him from Satan's strategy because I'm here to tell us Church as God is taking you individually and us corporately into larger territory and into enlargement how many know with enlargement you make a bigger target come on and then he says that I might not cause pain you see he asked God all of those things that I just gave you so that the very thing that had put limitation on him so that I might not cause pain ah so that might not cause pain he asked all of those things so that it would reverse what he had been living and up to that point he asked God all of those things so I might not cause pain in other words he was saying I'm tired of this lid I'm tired of this limitation God and the only way it's gonna be eradicated is if I get in a posture of humility if I get in a prayer of humility and I throw my hands and my arms up to you and my heart open to you and I say God I've had it I'm done here I need to go higher I need to push through I need to break through so I ask you to come now anybody ready for that in your life this morning so ask God for yourself this morning let me give you one more stay with me Hannah come on yo First Samuel Chapter one she was in bitterness of soul as she prayed to the Lord as she wept in anguish and she made a balance she said O Lord of Hosts if you will indeed look on the affliction of your maidservant and remember me and not forget your maidservant but will give your maidservant a male child then I will give him to the Lord all the days of his life and no razor shall come upon his head Hannah had a desire to have a child and she refused to be denied somebody shout as aloud can desire because when it comes to breaking limitations when it comes to breaking limitations desire is a powerful force desire is more than just a natural determination because that has to do with your mind and that has to do with your will desire that I'm talking about is in the spirit it's the kind that God gives us it's the kind that holy spirit rises up in us and in our heart and that's where God dwells desire is more than an inclination to want desire is a driving force within a desire is a passion and it is an overwhelming zeal I'm telling you desire serves as a motivation to break limitation I'll repeat it desire serves as a motivation to break limitation I am appalled as some of the Christians that I see in the body of Christ that have a lack of desire and they can't even get themself out of bed for this and that I don't want to make disrespect anybody and I want to make anybody feel bad but I want to challenge you and I want to raise your bar today come on I'm gonna raise the standard today we got to stir up this desire on the inside of us this tenacious desire in prayer because desire is just as important as faith in our life because desire fuels hope and hope is that confident expectation that God is going to answer my ask I said God is gonna answer my ask he's gonna answer my plea and my cry desire causes me to rise up and say you know what I will not be denied somebody needs to get a hand of spirit up on the inside of you today and say I will not be denied I'm telling you some people won't make fun of you when you have that kind of desire I'm talking about radical I'm talking about radical radical radical I wanna be so much in desire for the Lord important for breaking limitation then it makes other people feel uncomfortable I don't mind making other people feel I don't mind making religion feel uncomfortable I don't mind making religion mad I don't mind stirring up a little bit of demons here and there look here at me and I've been not being disrespectful in that I'm just saying I want such a desire you can talk about me you can lamb bash me you can defame me I don't care I don't worship you I don't serve you I serve Jesus and there is such a desire in me to break through the limitations I'm talking about the suppression and the restriction of the Python spirit is a breaking today everything that has constricted and restricted it's broken off today some people will applaud your desire some people will criticize your desire either way I come to tell you Deborah lose your desire the priest thought she was drunk y'all come on Mike what's up with that guy Hey he must have missed his prayer time that morning he's waiting on the Lord for discernment come on God is strong to people a desire God is drawn to people like Bartimaeus and like the woman with the issue of blood with the woman of Cana the one strategic quality that the Lord looks for his desire Hebrews 11:6 he is a rewarder of those who diligently seek him that were diligently their means to breathe hard obviously you know the connotation there is a deep deep desire that just will not be quenched mark chapter 11 verse 24 therefore I say to you whatever things you ask King James Version says desire when you pray believe that you receive them and you will have them prayer is nothing more than a desire expressed to God many people however asked for nothing because they desire nothing let's raise the bar today come on let's raise the bar today come on I say god I'm tired of hearing about this happening over here and I'm tired of hearing about that happening in that nation or in that country or over here or with this one Oh at that one God use me god I want to raise the bar I want to raise this today some people asked for nothing because they decide I can't disturb the desire on the inside of a Saturday what do you want God to do ask him and then again some people have stopped asking because they become disappointed and disappointment diffuses desire I know I'm talking fast go back and watch it online but watch disappointment diffuses desire keep us show care tell my kids about of course you do I'm gonna help somebody here if you're not careful careful you will stop asking because you get disappointed and disappointment leads to discouragement and the majority of the time it's because we perceive a delay we stop asking because we get disappointed and discouraged because there's a perceived delay there you know I was telling someone this week I've sinned God is always on time and it's easy to shout about it and this happens when you're waiting sometimes come on somebody he is not a God of delay he's a God of answer he's a God of breakthrough but we must trust him and I want to speak encouragement to someone right now and I have not always passed this test in my life promise you is still struggle with it at times but we have to we have to ask and we have to keep asking and we have to persistently go before God we have to trust that he hears us and if he hears us he will answer that prayer if it's according to his will and his to ask with the pure heart and according to his word but I'm gonna tell you if it delay happens in your life what can happen is it can lead to discontentment and then we have an Abraham and we have a Sarah who got tired of waiting on the promised child and today we have Ishmael because of that but if delay happens it will lead to discontentment and discontentment will lead to discouragement and discouragement leads to division which is disunity and disunity causes your focus to be off which is which affects your decisions and your choices and for some it even leads leads them into depression I'm telling you today this is your answer desire and even if you find yourself in a perceived season of delay it is the opportunity for travailing intercession I said it is the opportunity for travailing intercession and this is where Hannah comes on to the scene she was tired of the lid on her life she had no children and she wanted a child she didn't want a child she want a male child she told God she was specific and I encourage us today be specific about what you want God to do come on according to his will and Hannah steps on the scene and she began to go into travailing intercession y'all stay with me I got a couple of more points and I know what time it is but stay with me watch that which is conceived of God will eventually come to birth hear me but you got to enter into a travailing intercession and don't get hung up on the delay get hung up on God God is faithful get hung up on the word of God get hung up on the presence of God because this is where we see Hannah kick in her desire she was in the church if you will in the temple in the house of God and she was pulling her heart out to God and the Bible says I read it to you she was in bitterness her soul and she prayed to the Lord and she wept in anguish Hannah had been barren for so long and all the other wife the sister wife come on somebody had been having baby after baby after baby her name was Penta nya I call her penny the provoker hallelujah come on and she was ridiculing Hannah you all know the story sometimes the devil just provokes one time too many come on and sometimes I think that's what it takes to take us over into a posture of humility in prayer a travailing intercession because travail is a posture of desperation and desperation puts a demand on heaven to open up desperation puts a demand on heaven and God to respond and desperation puts a demand that breakthrough come and bust through the limitation until your limitation breaking prayer must be the taken to the melting point until heaven is open and God is breaking through the power of travail in prayer precedes the blessing that's coming into your life you say was Hannah asking God oh you bet she was asking God a spirit of prayer supplication was on her so strong as I said Eli the priest thought she was drunk you see prevail is an intense form of intercession given by the Holy Spirit where an individual it gets pregnant with a promise anybody pregnant with a promise in here today okay those are the people of desire anybody pregnant with the promise come on fresh start we have a promise and that promise grips us but not only does it grip us it grips God stay with me stay with me stay with me it grips gone and when it grips us and it grips God then we enter into labor if you will with God in travail intercession in prayer so that the new life can come forth I love what one man sent just as the opening of the natural womb is enlarged to bring for a baby so travail Creason creates an opening for the birthing of the promise come on did y'all get that today you are creating an opening with your travailing prayer there is many things that God has prepared for us for the body of Christ individually that goes aborted or it goes unbirth because no one takes the time to travail in prayer you see God is wanting to see fresh start if we are going to want the minimum or the maximum today if we're gonna want survival or if we're gonna want revival I come to say I want the maximum and I want revival I want it for you I want it for me I want it for this house and I want it for the region and the nations you see Hannah's limitation was in her barrenness but her blessing was hidden in her barrenness I came to tell somebody today you got to know that that thing you've been going through that limitation that is an opportunity for you to go into interception and begin to ask to break through but I have to ask you today Hanna's desire broke through her limitation what can your desire birth today what can your desire break through and a burst of profits of all profits what can your desire birth today I came to raise the standard somebody shall break through the limitation stay with me help me Holy Spirit stay with me ask the Lord for yourself and then ask the Lord for others today ask the Lord for others to deliver them and set them free this this is intercession and I will use Esther I'm for the ladies that were at sister's I'm not preaching that word today but I'm gonna use her in Astrid chapter 4 if you remain completely silent at this time relief and deliverance will arise for the Jews from another place lord help us not to remain silent when it's our turn to cry out but you and your father's house will perish yet who knows whether we have come to the kingdom for such a time as this and Esther told them to reply to Mordecai go get the Jews and fast for me neither eat nor drink three days or nights mates and I will fast and then she says I will go to the king which was against the law and she could have died she said if I perish I perish Esther is a type of intercession stay with me as she had been strategically placed in the kingdom at that time for purpose it was placed there she was placed there to ask on behalf of someone else that is intercession don't just ask for yourself today ask on behalf of all those names on those crosses over there today ask on behalf of that person that should have came to church today but didn't make it come on because the enemy put a lid on it ask for because that one that seems the hardest to reach God says I just need you to ask I just need you to go into some intercession for them that wasn't beating them up all hell has been breaking loose demonic hordes are coming hands to mind in their life bosses I need somebody to ask if nobody ever asks how can I break through Esther said I want to go to the king I'm gonna go to the king and I will ask the King for your deliverance you see intercession is not only an unselfish prayer but it is the prayer that makes us most like Jesus because Jesus was and is an intercessor from the baby to the cross to the throne and he's even interceding for you and I right now so when we pray for others we are most like Jesus the intercessor what can you say today that I will go to God and ask on behalf of someone else and I know many of y'all do that but I'm talking about the type of intercession that literally identifies with what's going on in that person's life you become so entangled with their hurt you become so entangled with their pain you become so entangled with their dysfunction come on then it begins to not that you give in to that but that you begin to feel what they're feeling I'm telling you this is what true intersects this is what Esther was doing on behalf of the people she was literally taking their place in prayer and then as Romans chapter 8 which I read to you earlier it says the Holy Spirit prays to us with groanings this is another level of intercession that goes past our natural abilities it is a level of agony of literally any entering into agony not only do you identify with them as an intercessor for them you're asking on their behalf but you begin to go into agony on their behalf look I'm telling you they were hurting people out there there are people called up in demonic cycles and they cannot get themselves out it is going to take someone that will rise up and say I will go to the keen on your behalf we'll ask for your deliverance I will ask for your salvation I will ask for your freedom because I feel your pain I understand your pain come on and the Holy Spirit race through us in a way that we cannot he grows through us he expresses through us a prayer that cannot be released without him and is at this point of prayer come on somebody it is at this point a prayer that the agent of the Holy Ghost begins to pray through his intercessors on behalf of the loss and on behalf of those who are hurting and in bondage and because of our willingness to go to the king God says I extend to you the scepter of authority as he did to Esther and it is at that place that it has been called a gained place of intercession and is that this place that we enter in to an authority come Oh somebody that literally shakes hell and literally makes hell tremble because one person is on their knees crying out for another person say I go to the king and I ask on your behalf somebody give praise to God because we break limitation off of others oh my god we gotta praise Him come on come on limitation to be broken off of others limitations will be broken off the lives of those crosses because you are going to the king and asking for their freedom and lastly today and I close with this hallelujah we asked for ourselves to break limitation we ask for others to be limped for limitations to be broken off their life and finally today we ask for him Lord what is your desire what is on your heart I'm gonna ask the worship team to come what is on your heart Lord fresh start if you go back if you have not been here for all of these messages and even the series that I did on the rain over regions I can't express adequately what I feel the Lord is moving us into I've tried in these messages concerning territories and Nations the highest form of prayer is asking the Lord what he wants you to ask for and Psalm chapter 2 verses 8 and 9 the word says ask me to give you the nation's and I will do it and they shall become your legacy your domain will stretch to the ends of the earth and you will Shepherd them with unlimited authority crushing their rebellion as an iron rod smashes jars of clay the highest form of prayer is asking the Lord what he wants you to ask and that can come in many different ways and there are certain prayers in the Word of God that we see were God directly asked for something but I want to close today with what I've been giving you the last several weeks about our assignment for territories and our assignment for nations the message last week was fully intended to expose how serious God is about the nations of the earth but also to expose how serious the devil is about the nations of the earth Psalm 2 is the father speaking to Jesus a prophetic word here in Psalm and he's telling the son to intercede for the nations he's telling Jesus to ask for the nation's he's saying the father says son asked me for the nations of the earth and I will give him to you I will give the heat in the nation's to you it'll be your inheritance it'll be your legacy the far part of the earth the four corners of the earth come on fresh start I'll give them to you the father says as your possession I'm speaking to us today about breaking limitations the success of the Great Commission is based on Jesus's cry and requests to the father to give him the nation's and Jesus has responded to that as a matter of fact that first before this in verse 7 Jesus says I will proclaim the decree of the Lord Jesus proclaims the decree I asked for the nation's and I'm telling you there is coming a day when every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord Revelation chapter 7 new malachi chapter 1 he says from the rising of the sun even to his going down my name shall be great in every place look at this incense shall be offered up to my name in every place a pure offering for my name shall be great among what the nation's revelation we get the end of the picture in chapter 7 a john saw before the throne a great multitude and no one could count from every nation tribe people and language standing before the throne and in front of the lamb they were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands and they cried out with a loud voice salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne and to the lamb it's time for us today fresh-start to join with Jesus and ask for the nation's I said it's time for us to join with Jesus and asked for the nation's there will come a day when every nation on that know you say oh well not this one and not that oh yes oh yes even the ones that absolutely hate Jesus and defame him and say he's not the Son of God and say he's not Messiah I'm telling you the day is coming when nations will bow at the feet of Jesus and they will reprogram him king of kings and Lord of lords but in this place today we need a revelation for the nation's we need a revelation for the nation's we need to pray for the nation's we need to sew into the nation's and yes even for some of you you will be going to the nation's and this is why I am talking about breaking limitation today if you will let me preach just a moment fresh start the Lord God says to us today that I am taking you past your need and I am taking you past your small thinking and I am taking you past so what you think revival is and what you think that I am going to do I am asking you today fresh start to take off your earthly sensual thinking and take off your paradigm of who you thought I am for today God says defining today I am putting on you Kingdom thoughts and I'm putting on you keep the purpose and I'm putting on you today for the nation's ass the nation today and as you asked for the nation's as I told my son I will give you a legacy a heart my heart I will stretch out your tip cords I will increase your territory I will give you authority purpose bus true but Jesus thought I thank you that we are living in the day of Psalm chapter 2 this morning because for the nation's you've got to understand that a blessing and a breakthrough comes into your life and into this house when we ask for the nation's has been said it for years years we are blessed to bless the nation's especially according to the Word of God when you bless Israel blessing comes back on you I've taken you on a journey today and I hope that you got it it's okay to ask for yourself it's definitely the heart of God for you to ask for others but it's entire different mindset you ask for what God wants you to ask and it's the nation's this past Wednesday night y'all just stayed out here praying and anybody that wants to join camp and I want to show you this and I really wanted to play for you what happened always for those of you that were not here I really wanted to play the recording for you what standing on that stage isn't represented in this house nine different nations now for those of you who are not here are you chose not to be here I felt the the worship team were moving into it in in the prophetic worship and I felt to bring them up and have them pray in their native tongue over their nation and I can't describe to you those of you who were here you know there was a breaking open and there's probably other nations that are even represented here this morning and that prayer Center as you already know we told you to show you is filled

own language and have clue what they were saying unless it was Dios or something like that you know kind of know what that means something like that we wept we wept because I began to if you will be taken to where those people are the spirit hearing their native language there's people in those nations that are not allowed we're so suppressed and so oppressed and here we are in America today debating whether we're going to do this debating whether we're going to do that we have the freedom to do everything we need to do in our faith I'm telling you fresh start God is saying break the limitation and you break it by asking and the highest level of asking is asks for the nation's before we leave here today if you don't mind I'm gonna ask you to come to the front and fill this place and if you don't mind let's be a hundred percent today be a hundred percent pick it up you guys come on we're going to cry out for the nation's before we leave and as we cry out and ask for the
