Unusual Miracles | Unusual Faith - Stephanie Ike

[Music] we're gonna go into the Word of God and actually you may be seated because before we go we'll go on the journey and if you're watching you were standing I appreciate you you know last week last week during the midweek service I began this series called unusual miracles and it's interesting because this I this this idea really came to me while I was in prayer and it was sometime last early last month and the Lord began speaking to me about the month of March and to start this series called unusual miracles because March and March are going to enter a time where more than ever the world would need to know that he is a miracle worker and so what we touched on last week was the the part one was unusual obedience right and I spoke about a man named Paul it's interesting because in the past he had he used to be known as Saul and he was one who murdered believers he gave me you know he gave their approval for the believers to be executed and so imagine a man like that who has been known as a terrorist against believers and all of a sudden God calls him and God gives him a mandate over his life that the very person they used to terrorize and persecute believers is now the one that would raise them up you see when Paul said yes to God it was an unusual yes because he stepping into the various spaces that they have known him they when they would see him he's the one they would run away from and now he's the one that would build them up in the Word of God every time Paul will open his mouth to declare the gospel every single time it was him accepting that God I am walking in faith and in the obedience of the call on my life that I am NOT going to care about the opinions of man because I recognize that God if you've called me then you would be the one to carry me through you see one of the things I love so much about the life of Paul is that we see him there was a moment where he was going into a certain city and the Spirit of the Lord resisted him and it's a poor you cannot go into that city and this was in northern Asia but all of a sudden the scripture that we're going to be reading is in acts 19 and is from verse 11 what we read last week was verse 11 to 20 and it was Paul and he's in he's trying to he now he's going to this place in Western Asia which is in Ephesus and when he goes that the Spirit of the Lord gives him permission to go that the Spirit of the Lord leads him to Ephesus and one of the things we covered last week is that wherever the Spirit of God leads you you have authority in that area that wherever there is an assignment on your life that even the spiritual realm recognizes the authority you carry and so one of the interesting things is that Paul is in that city and he's healing people people are being delivered and you have this group of men and they were known as the sons of sceva and they try to copy what paul was doing and they go and they're like they're trying to deliver someone and they said in the name of Jesus that Paul preaches and the demons in them they beat that man up they said look Jesus we know Paul we know but who are you because they recognize that you don't have any authority in this city because you have no assignment in this city and so what we took away with unusual obedience is to realize and understand that wherever God gives you an assignment you have Authority wherever God sends you to he has backed you up already and this week I want to go into unusual faith and I'm gonna read two verses I encourage you if you have not seen last week please go watch it's gonna bless your life but we're gonna read from verse 11 to verse 12 in acts 19 and it says now God worked unusual miracles by the hands of Paul so that even handkerchiefs or aprons were brought from his body to the sick and diseases left them and the evil spirits went out of them you see one of the things that I love about this passage are the people who brought those handkerchiefs because Paul was living his best Christian life healing people and because he's a limited resource he cannot go everywhere there were these people that brought handkerchiefs and aprons and what's interesting is that while aprons in particular these were the attires of the servant workers and so it almost gives us a picture that the least of the people in this city were the people that could tap into the power of what God was doing that the unusual people recognized something that other people could not recognize so they took their work attire they took their handkerchiefs and they go to Paul and they put it on his skin and there was something about their faith because it wasn't an accident it was not as if they tripped and they touched his skin and then again they tripped and they touched the sick that there was an intention behind it that there was something radical in them that understood that if this only touches his skin because we recognize that he is the anointed of God that if we take this to touch our sick they would be delivered you see the story reminded me so much of the woman with the issue of blood the Bible tells us about this certain woman who was bleeding for 12 years she kept going from Doctor to doctor and she couldn't find the cure it actually tells us that she got worse but all of a sudden when she heard about the Lord Jesus the Bible tells us that she said within herself if only I could touch the hem of His garment I would be made well and that was her portion you see what moved me about that is that Jesus says who touched me she touches his the hem of his clothing and Jesus is moved he says power just left me that someone engaged the power of the Holy Spirit in me even without my at me even being aware of it without me being engaged with them it wasn't a moment where someone came up to me and said lord please pray for me but they understood something about my identity that they knew that I don't even need to speak to you I just need to walk in the revelation of who you are and power can come out of you you see this woman commanded the power of the Holy Spirit to come and heal her because of her revelation you see when I'm coming that is that when we talk about faith the Bible tells us that faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God now when it comes by the Word of God that is a word that could be understood as well in the Greek they call it the Rhema word of God and the Rhema word of God speaks to the Word of God to you so when there is a word that is spoken directly to you administers to you many times we can look at this as a prophetic instruction maybe in a group setting there's a prophetic word that goes forth and there's a way administers uniquely to you but something I'm learning about God because Jesus we know him to be the Word made flesh and being that he is the Word made flesh that there is a way that Jesus reveals himself to us that faith can be built on you see there is a man in the Bible named David David was anointed to be king right after he was anointed to be king there was a certain man he was known as a giant named Goliath he was of the Philistines and the Philistines were at war with the Israelites so Goliath comes out and his taunts in the Israelites finally David somehow gets wind of this and he is ready to go at after the go after Goliath because David recognized something he said you know what when he was going that fadak for the battle he said who is this person that comes against the armies of the Living God what I love about David is that the Bible never tells us that God gave David a word that David if you fight Goliath you would win the victory was not guaranteed so David because he had the guarantee of a word but the victory was guaranteed to him because he had a revelation of his god David understood that god we are your people we are in covenant with you you are our King so if they're coming against us they're actually coming against you and all you need is a representative because you already have the victory because this is not even a natural fight this is a spiritual warfare but we need to stand you need someone to stand as your representative on the earth for your victory to manifest because this battle has already been sealed in heaven but in order for it to manifest on the earth somebody has to show up somebody has to be in agreement with what God is doing you see there was a revelation that David had of God that he did not need God to give him a specific word that David on the day you fight Goliath you would win he said god I know that you are God over this people and this city is yours this nation belongs to you so whoever comes against us is actually coming against you that was David's confidence you see we see many times in the scripture we see Daniel Daniel in the Bible there was a moment where they were telling him to bow down before the gods of this King and Daniel refused and in his refusal they were going to throw him into the lion's den and we never hear a story about the Bible telling us that God told Daniel Daniel if you go into the lion's den you will be fine but there was a boldness and a confidence because Daniel knew who his God is you see there is something about what happens when you have a knowledge of who your God is whenever there is panic in our lives we know that right now we're in a time where the world there was great panic in the world there was great fear in the world and we know that there was this virus the corona virus that is bringing so much fear and torment on people and worry and doubt about God what is gonna happen whenever we start seeing that within ourselves is a moment where we have to say God am I seeing you right because in the midst of everything God you were still God over at all God where there is stress in my life where there is panic in my life whether it's fear in my life is there a place I have not put you in your rightful position when I look at you god what is it about you that I'm missing what is this revelation that I've not grabs on to you see the beautiful thing I was reading a story our pastor shared this with us there was a certain man by the name of John G Lake in his time this was about over a century ago it was God has sends him to South Africa to minister and bring the gospel to South Africa and he will go back and forth and there was a there was a point where there was this play called the bubonic plague and it was very contagious and I mean people to the point that even when people died like you would not even know who died because no one was trying to check on anybody because of how contagious this plague was and how was taking the lives of so many people but this certain man John G Lake he talked about a revelation that he held on to when he that he knew of God because he said that one moment he was reading the scriptures and he realized that sickness and infirmity is actually an attack of the enemy he said the moment he realized that this does not come from God that he set with him and within himself to be at war against it by the power of God and God used this man so greatly he had a ministry partner and they would go into the homes of people and wherever there was there was someone that had died they would take the body that would bury their dead whoever was sick at that time he would lay hands on them and all of a sudden they would recover and then there was a certain doctor who was moved and was was shocked by what was taken place and he reaches out to him and he says what is your secret what is it that you're doing that we don't know about because there is no way that you're doing this and you have not been contaminated there is no way that you're doing this and you have not gotten the plague and he said it is the Spirit of God in me he had a revelation of the law of the Spirit he says when the Spirit of God is in a man it takes over everything that he is that a virus cannot contaminate me rather we kill the virus you see he told the doctor to do something he said take the foam because there was the you know the lungs do have this foam and the in the foam that you will see the virus so he says take of the foam from the lungs and put it under a microscope and when he did he adds the doctor he said what do you see the doctor said the viruses are alive then he took the foam in his hand and he put it under the microscope and then he asked the doctor again what do you see he says they're actually dying you see he walked in a revelation of God that brought him to the awareness that this is not of God and because of his not of God that I would boldly step out and that would boldly proclaim that my God is a healer you see in times like this the church rises because we have we know a king who this is nothing to him you see when we begin to see God write a position as a joke is that we look at it almost like this prophet named Elijah there was a time where there was they there was war against him and there were people that were there were armies that came against him and his servant was panicking and he simply says to the Lord he said God opened his eyes that he would see that those that surround us are actually greater than those that are coming against us that God opened his eyes and he began to see the armies of God all over the mountains you see what is it what is our revelation of God in this season what do we know of God you see there are many things about faith that is so powerful because even on Sunday our pastor preached on faith and he talked about how faith is how you access what God has for you the Bible tells us that without faith it is impossible to please God you see and it's not impossible to please God because God is like wow you don't have faith I don't like you really much right now but God says if you don't have faith you are limiting my ability to move in your life you see even in the time of Jesus the Bible tells us that the one thing that limited him was unbelief when he went to his hometown Nazareth it said that he could not do much miracles because of their unbelief because where there is unbeliev there is no agreement with God and what the Holy Spirit put on my heart is what are we leaving on the table because of doubt you see there is a very unique scripture in the Word of God where the I posed at this point Jesus had given his disciples he said you know what I have given you authority to cast out demons to heal the sick and his disciples they're going now they're going into town and they're seeing the sick being healed they're seeing the dead been raised all kinds of things are happening but then all of a sudden there was this boy who was epileptic and they were brought to the disciples but for some reason the scripture tells us that the disciples could not heal them they could not heal the boy because when Jesus comes to the scene the father of the boy brings this boy to Jesus and he said I brought them I brought him to your disciples but they could not heal him and that's that so many things to me because one it said that the disciples gave up because they also concluded that Lord why couldn't we heal him that there was a limitation that they had already walked in and Jesus looks and then he says and he later on he explains to them that is because of your unbelief but Jesus begins to have an interaction with this man and he says how long has this been happening to this boy and they're talking and all of a sudden Jesus has a discernment about this spirit and he says you deaf and dumb spirit leave and never return but here is what the Lord showed me if Jesus never came on the scene and the disciples tried their best they prayed they did everything they used to do they did everything they knew to do when they saw the healing of God they saw the miraculous of God and then they encountered this situation and they're praying and everything they've done in the past that was working is no longer working would it be that it was the will of God for the boy to not be healed how do we interpret those moments would we say well God maybe was not your will but the reality was it wasn't the will of God to bring healing to the boy but faith was required that whether was the absence of faith God could not manifest his promise you see many times we rest in this space that when we don't see a breakthrough where we don't see them the power of God we say maybe it's not the will of God God knows best let us rely on his wisdom but there are things about God you see even in the scripture it tells us that all who came to Jesus receive their healing and I began to be challenged even in my spirit because how many times do we walk away from something and then we make the excuse or we accuse the other person and say well maybe you just you know you need to press anymore but what if there is a mandate on our lives to see God in a way that there would be nothing that would be an obstacle to us that there would be nothing that would be so challenging that it would overcome us rather we overcome it you see Jesus comes on the scene and he heals this boy revealing that it was always God's will but faith was required you see this is a time in our nation where we have to activate our faith where we have to activate our faith by knowing God who are you seeking God show me more of who you are you see when the disciples asked the Lord Jesus and he sells them that this was because of your unbelief but then he says something so unique and he says but this type only comes out by praying and fasting but this was not a season where the disciples were actually required to fast because while Jesus was still on the earth there was a time that they asked him they said do your disciples fast and he's and basically in my translation he's like they don't need to him right here that they would fast when I'm when I'm not with them but then Jesus tells them that this kind comes by prayer and by fasting and he also had the expectation that they actually had what it took to deliver that boy so their Lord what do you actually mean by this it is the outcome of what happens when we pray and when we fast you see prayer there are different levels to prayer there's a level of we're where you bring your petitions before the Lord where you'd open up your heart and you talk to God about all the things all the issues are the matters content that that come against your life but there was another level of prayer where it's not just about what you say but it's about what you receive when you open up your heart to God and you're saying God I want to know you lord show me who you are show me your will Oh God there is something about when you begin to get connected to the heart and the mind of God that you understand what is actually made available on the earth but if we only go into prayer to pour out our hearts and never receive his heart then we're limited because the moments where we begin to receive the heart of God then all of a sudden were into that God actually it is your will that no God actually you want to do this thing that God actually this is not an issue to you you see it's so beautiful I remember one time I was in prayer and in that moment I was just saying God what what is it that you you you what what is on your heart today what burdens you it's what is what is a burden to you in my time because since you're out of time that if you could come into my time and share your burden with me what would that look like what would that be and I remember the Lord gave me this vision and was so interesting he showed me this man and he actually comes to our church he shows me this man and he says there was someone connected to his life that is that has cancer and I believe at that time it was like a stage 3 or stage 4 and he said I've already gone ahead of them and I wanted to be declared that I've already gone ahead of them and I was like wow and then I was like okay you know maybe this person will reach out to me or something on something like that that same day cuz I just opened up myself I said God you show me and when God revealed his heart to me that no Stephanie I've already healed this person it is already in my will to bring the healing all of a sudden that gentleman reached out to me on Facebook and he's like hey Stephanie I just need to talk to you about something and I'm like wow being available in that moment the Holy Spirit could lead him and say okay there is someone available to actually speak what God is already done so he reaches out to me on Facebook and he says hey you know I'm just reaching out to different people in our church community and I just want us to be in prayer and he talks to me about this particular person who was dealing with cancer and I said you know what we could pray for prayer but God has already gone ahead that the healing is already guaranteed and actually what would happen is that doctors would say that this was a misdiagnosis and the next day or two days after he calls me and he says you know what she went back for a checkup and the doctor said we're sorry but we misdiagnosed you there were moments like that that really ministered to me because it was nothing I did was everything God did all he was looking for is who is searching for my heart who is searching to know more of what I've made available to you already who wants to know the will and the plans of God because when God begins to reveal himself to you when he reveals that he's a healer when he reveals that he's away maker your faith is built on solid ground that is where unusual things begin to happen because you're not just walking based on okay God should I turn left or should I turn right but you're walking from a revelation that God you are here so whether I go left or right your presence is gonna show up you see family this is a time that we have to be so in tune and so rendered and focused that is it when we're fasting comes in fast and clears out the noise fast and clears out the distractions because when you're fasting for it when you're when you're in the time of fasting because many times what we sometimes will do I've been a victim of this I remember one time the Lord told me to go on the fast and in my mind I was fasting all right I wasn't eating certain foods but the truth of the matter is I wasn't spending as much time in his presence and one day he encountered me and he said you need to go on the fast I said the Lord I'm already fasting he said I don't accept that I mean what do you mean like I have not been eating things that I should want to eat and he said to me is like what you're doing is a diet what you're doing is a plan you're actually not seeking me because tell me the times what how has that how has that caused a sacrifice in the time that you spend with me what how has it sacrifice your intimate moments with me and so when we are fasting it's a time to clear out the noise because earlier I told you to do something and I'm like close your eyes and just pay attention to who God is to you and I'm sure that for some are for many the words that came to your mind are words that you have long forgotten and why say you have long forgotten because how you live is not in the reality of what that word is of what that word speaks and so many times we are so distracted by life that when we are coming into the place of a fast it clears out the noise and it says god this is a time to rekindle my intimacy with you and all of it brings us to the place where we grow in our in our revelation of who is God to us and who is God in this generation and what has he made available to us to tap into you see there was a scripture that really speaks to me in Romans 10 2 and it says for I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God but not according to knowledge you see many times we're so quick to want to run but your foundation will be tested at some point in a time like this with what is happening in our nation's our foundation will be tested because we have a zeal for God but we don't really have a knowledge of God and when zeal is met with ignorant the enemy now frustration sets then now we begin to question God where are you but when zeal is met with knowledge family we would be unstoppable and so we should not be so quick to run until we know what are we running with this is a time that we have to press into God this is a time that we have to press in to his word God who are you God revealed more openlayers of who you are to me I want to know you more I want to seek you more where has there been panic in my life what is that speaking to who I serve because if I'm serving the King of Kings and the Lord of lords and if I recognize that I am his child then why am I in panic why am i in fear you see as people there are things that we would naturally do right because right now a lot of things are shutting down for example in California the governor had mentioned that you know he spoke against if there's any gatherings over 250 people you know against adapt just for the safety of people and even biblically it encourages us that we should submit to natural authorities right so there are things we do it with in wisdom it's not things we do because we are engaged in the narrative of fear right even Jesus there was a time that they asked him about paying the taxes and he said gift to Caesar what is Caesar's and give to God what is God serving the Lord does not make you a rebel to Authority right it does not make you a rebel to natural authority because where you war is not even in the natural where we war is from the spiritual and so where there is natural Authority we don't rebel against it but we were on our knees and so when we see things happening it's not that we are subscribed to the fear of the narrative No even Jesus respected the governing authorities of the land but when we see things happening it's a moment for us to shift our strategy you see one of the one of the the questions of in my heart in prayer is that God teach me how the war in this season teach me what warring looks like in this season I don't want to just do what are you what I'm what I'm used to but God give me a new perspective sharpen my discernment and show me how have you called me to walk things out how have you called me to proclaim your name you see we're gonna see a move of God because in times like this this is the best times for God to shine and it takes the people of God that will see him properly to call on his name in all boldness to call on his name and said no I hear everything that is going on but I serve a king and he is a healer you see one of the things that even as I was preparing for this message one of the things the Lord showed me it had to do with Hannah in the Bible and I was really confused because I understand that the story of Hannah is also a story of faith but it wasn't really speaking to her seeking God or anything like that because he was showing me about Hannah when she was barren and this season of barrenness that she went through and how that season of barrenness was broken the moment her child served the agenda of God you see there there's a seat this season that seems like wow God what is taking place and this is gonna bring a season that would almost look like Baroness it would seem like a season that would look like a drought because many things will be dried up in this time but then those that would rise up and say God we are gonna serve your agenda that God when we open our mouth it will serve your agenda we're gonna see things spring up in a way that we don't even understand God began to show me that the barren land would be fruitful and I need to say this the way he explained it to me because you see Hannah was someone who for many years was believing and praying to God that God you know give me a child I feel like I'm being looked down upon and all these things and nothing ever happened but one particular day she prays to the daughter and she says you know what if you give me a child I will give him back to you there are many people that have been that it's almost like you are the underdogs you've been overlooked just like in the in the scripture that it was the servants that sucked into faith that did some incredible things in that city and so there are people and it seems like your life looks like a barren place but there are moments like the moments that were in where there is a unique assignment that the timing of God has been waiting for you and so it's not that you've been barren but that you are coming into position you are coming into that timing where you are called to rise you see what's not that Hannah Hannah was barren but the Bible tells us that her womb was closed by God he was the one who set the barrier there because he understood that that's the first child that will come out of this woman's womb is a child that will serve the kingdom and the agenda of God and so for many you have felt out of place you have felt like the life you're living is not the life that you see and God says I've been preparing you for a certain time where everything that you are will boldly proclaim my name this is a time and this is a generation that the world would say the name of Jesus the world would proclaim the name of Jesus and so family unusual faith I'm learning comes when we are committed in an unusual way to knowing God to seek Him after him we're not gonna settle with the revelations that we have been taught as a kid we're not gonna settle with just saying words because there was a difference between when we sing and we say you know god you're away maker then when you seek before you you come before God and say God show me that you are the waymaker reveal to me how you are the waymaker when you spend time to press into those words you see that they're unique things that God wants to reveal to you and it would speak to your calling David God revealed to him that God was a God of War and when David and brace that my God will always win the victory we see that David's whole life was surrounded by war even the Lord said to him there's a moment where David wanted to build a temple for the Lord and he said no your son will build it he said because you have been a man of war but I anointed you to be a man of war I'm not against you being a man of war it was not that God was looking at him and saying that hey man you've shed too much blood I wasn't aware of that he said no I anointed you for this and so because of the way I called you I have not called you to build me a temple but your legacy would do that but God revealed himself to David in a way because that was connected to David's destiny David acknowledged he said look when I defeated the lion and the bear that God was with me he recognized that it was the hand of God on my life they allowed me to find my victory in him and in the same way when Goliath came he said and God would do that - he said Goliath would be just another one that God will have the victory over what are the unique things that God is showing you about himself what are the unique things that you can't seem to just you can't see it's like you youyou can't seem to unsee about God but yet because of distraction you forget what are the things that God has placed in your heart what are the unique things that God is trying to show you that look I have called you to express this version of me on the earth because there is so much to God that not one human being can contain all of him and so what he does is that when he calls us that we have unique ways to express him even when the Bible talks about what they call the gifts of the Holy Spirit which is just the manifestation of the spirit and it has unique ways to reveal who the Holy Spirit is that someone can have an anointing to reveal that oh wow the Holy Spirit is a healer another person while the Holy Spirit is knowledge the Holy Spirit is wisdom the Holy Spirit is this is that so there are things about God they're unique things about God that He has called you to reveal about him and that's why he's trying to show himself to you but are we gonna press in because with the disciples and the inability to heal that young boy it's not because they didn't have the capacity to but they did not yet press into that capacity because when Jesus looks at them and and it's he's not looking at them with oh my child I will teach you he's looking at them like you should why why is this bring brought to me that you should be able to do this there was another unique situation where there were many around Jesus and they were hungry and they'd had no food and Jesus looks at his disciples and he says you feed them and he's aware that there is really not that much to feed thousands of people I mean the the food that they have would be equivalent to a boy's lunch but Jesus said you feed them he recognized that look you're around me you have the ability to press into Who I am and you would walk in the life that you would not understand the things that you're doing because you're walking in the revelation of truth Jesus recognized that every time that the disciples had a limitation it was not that they were limited in ability they were limited in knowledge that there was something that they had not tapped into when it came to the identity of who was the Lord what is your revelation of God this is an area that I'm also challenged to grow in the Lord began to show me he said my daughter there are some things that you have made an excuse for there are some things that you just start them Lord maybe that wasn't your will but it was but you need to press it you need to press in more to Who I am we all do because as as long as eternity is which is eternity it's as long as we will be getting to know God more and more there is no end to him so we can never reach a level where we are fully mature in wow I have a handle on who God is no but more than ever let us use this time of stillness and to say God I need a seek you I want to know you you are a healer you are a deliverer and you will show up in our nation in this time just as that if you've been praying you're like God bring healing tap into that more study the scriptures about healing study the scriptures about the things that moves you when you think about but God this is nothing to you press into that because the more we walk in the knowledge of God the more we rise up in the authority that he has given us and so in this moment rise with me thank you lord thank you Lord Jesus thank you Lord Jesus and for everyone watch and I just want you to stretch out your hand you're connected to this moment Heavenly Father we thank you kada babish a lord silence every fear show up in our generation may we know Heavenly Father that you are the Living God I am that I am there is no one like you oh Jesus show up in this city in every city where your people are tuning in from Lord Shula may the world proclaim that you alone are God but I thank you for healing that has taken place even now oh God I thank you Lord that you are moving even now Oh God [Music] 'lord everyone that is tuned in everyone present but wherever they need a healing in their body in the name of Jesus receive your healing right now wherever they've been tormented Oh God the torment ends right now in the name of Jesus we thank you Lord that you would do it by your spirit and you are doing it now [Music] Lord show yourself show that you are mighty and better [Music] thank you Jesus Lord revealed that there is nothing that would ever be a threat to you but as you rise us up Lord God as you're raising your people as you're raising their voices to declare your holy name and to declare your mighty works look we will see many drawn to you [Music] we will see nations drawn to you we will see kings bow down before you we will see those in authority and leadership bow before you O God that it will be known that there is none like You there is none that can be compared to you Lord we thank you that you would silence every voice that does not come from your spirit every voice of fear every voice of frustration every voice of doubt every voice of torment silence it right now in Jesus name and we thank you Lord that there are some that are tuned in and perhaps they tuned in from a place of fear and worry and anxiety and they want to know you more we all do but the place they're in is to first know you as Savior to say that Lord there is something happening in my heart right now I can explain it but I want to submit to it and wherever they are around the world they're saying that Lord I want to make you my Savior I want to submit to you and you alone and if that is you the eyes of the Lord are upon you wherever you are just lift up your hand and say God I want to know you I want to know us Savior I want to know you as Lord I want to know you Jesus I want to know you as my king I want to know you as my healer I want to know you as my strong tower I wouldn't know you as the foundation of my life I wanna know you as everything the breath in my lungs the one who keeps me the one who upholds me the wisdom of my thoughts I want to know you Oh God and Lord we just say have your way in this moment have your way o mighty God we thank you that you're moving Oh God that distance does not stop your spirit that there is nothing that can limit the Spirit of God to do what you have assigned Oh God to manifest your will we are standing here in agreement that Lord have your way in the nations Oh God we decree and declare that as this virus is on the lips of so many Lord your name would be spoken even greater in the name of Jesus who you all would be so loud in this generation and in the nation so God the world was seek and bow before you we would know that we serve a living God Lord speak to our hearts what is it that you have called us to do that requires the understanding of an expression of you in a unique way capacity may we see you right god and from that place from that place of knowing where you have already secured for us knowing who we are in you but we would walk out in boldness we would say what you would have us to say and we would do what you will have us to do and we would decree a thing from the place of the knowledge of God seal will be matched with knowledge we were not run canada Bechet without the knowledge of who you are to be tripped up by the lies of the enemy but lord we will learn the power of stillness before you to say god [Music] encounter me afresh and count to me a fresh hole god what are you doing in this time what are you doing in this season show me who you are in another capacity open the eyes of my heart Lord I want to see you I want to see you high and lifted up above anything that I've ever put above you I want to see you high and lifted up Oh God open my eyes open my heart open my understanding to know you more to walk with you to represent you [Music] thank you Lord Jesus [Music] and for everyone who opened up their hearts to the Lord for the first time I want you to repeat with me Lord Jesus come into my heart I make you my Lord and Savior I belong to you lead me guide me I acknowledge Oh God that you died on the cross for my sins and when you were raised up with all power in your hand I was raised up to new life was raised up to Lord God shame and guilt have no power over me I am made alive in you I'm walking with you Lord in Jesus mighty name thank you lord can we just praise God in this house thank you Lord Jesus thank you Lord Jesus family this is a time that we give are we excited to give in the house of God amen family given is very simple there are two ways that we give the tithe and the offering the tithe is simply 10% of everything that we have is 10% of our income and it's not what we we give to God is really what we are returning to the Lord Lord this belongs to you because I acknowledge that everything in my life I have it because of your grace towards me I have it because of your love towards may I have it because you opened the doors for me and so I'm only returning a seed that I may continue to flourish the tithe is where we come in partnership with God that God my money this is I don't even want my money to be my money because when there's a crisis it's my crisis I want it to be God's thing you have given me the opportunity to have 90 percent and I'm grateful for that but I'm in partnership with you you see the tithe is also how we build what God is building and whenever you are invested in building where God is building God will build you the tithe also expands our heart because it says that Lord I trust you that maybe yes I have a bill and the wrong mindset will look at the tithe and say I'm negative ten percent but the right mindset will say God if I'm in partnership with you that's a win for me that's a win for me it expands our heart to say God I trust you with my needs I trust you to be my provider and the offering is when we mark the spot that God you spoke to me I heard you and I want to show into that word I wouldn't have an expectation for the words that you spoke and so even as you give God is a very intentional God and so every time we give we should have an intention even - what's our given have an expectation of God what was it that you heard that you want to show into and in that manner we give and so if you have your tithe and your offering the instructions should be on the screen just lift it up as we give unto the Lord Heavenly Father we thank you we thank you O God as we lift up our tithes and our offerings we're lifting up our hearts before you have your way in Jesus mighty name amen family that's worse [Music] you
