Stephanie Ike - Structure

S you know today it's gonna be very interesting. So moment of truth this whole time, right, for like a few days, I've been the whole time. I thought that the message today was gonna be about the Blood of Jesus. And I was so hype about it because the things I've been learning about the Blood of Jesus blew my mind. But to be honest, I wanted to talk about the blood of Jesus cause. I'm like, God, you know, Eastern's coming off like this is a perfect message. But for some reason I couldn't like it as much as I'm like, Okay, we're gonna talk. About the Blood of Jesus. It it It just something wasn't flowing right Cause sometimes God is just like in the timing of what I need and that's what you will have to say. And so literally last. Night I'm like, okay, Lord, I don't know what you're gonna talk talk about the messages tomorrow. We've done this before. Like you know, we need to we need to know ahead of time, like you know, And so I literally pray the my God, what is the message today? Because as much as I knew I wanted to talk about the blood that was I. I Sometimes you can just tell in your spirit when something is off, and so I prayed. I said, Okay, Lord, show me what the message is today. Tell me what the message is today. So last night in a dream, he spoke to me about structure, and I understood where he was going with the message, and that's what we're gonna be talking about today. So literally, I didn't know what else to name the message. I just named the structure. And when we talk about structure, the fascinating about structure is that it talks about the action of building. You see, in life, we're always building something. We're always building, whether you're consciously building or you're you know, just or not right. And what you building your life, life would speak about if you spend your time in life, it would if it had value or if it was in vain. You see, for some time, God has really been speaking to me about the importance of time. And a lot of times we joke around and we play around with the time that we have. There's a passage in Scripture and it always fascinates me, and it's when Jesus is telling the disciples that they would do greater works than he did. But what followed up that statement was that because he is going to the Father, so there was this understanding that they have time to continue while his time on earth is up. And so he's been really emphasizing to me the importance of time and what we do with our time. And so I want us to read this passage really quick. It's in Psalm one twenty seven to one. And what is gonna take place today is gonna be very just inday and anyway we'll see how it goes, right, like just gonna let the spirit do what you gotta do, right. So let's read this passage. It says unless the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain, who build it? And I want us to stop there. The other part will maybe catch up on that later on. Now, house, in the context of this message is in regards to your life. Unless the Lord is building. Your life is involved live in it. It is as though it's in vain. You see, when I studied this, I said, okay, Lord, what does it mean for you to build the house? And the one thing that he really highlighted to me was in the area of what are the things that what drive what are the factors that drives our decision making, because our life is build by the decisions that we make. And when God is not involved in any area of our lives, if he's not involved in a decision making process, he is not building the house. And you see one thing that was really struck to me. There's a passage in Proverbs that's actually the open ails, just going to read it. There's a passage in Proverbs three five to six, and it says trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not, and the fascinating with lean not. It talks about that that world is to support oneself, so you lean on something for support, right, So it says, lean not on your own understanding in all your ways, acknowledge Him and he shall direct your path. You see, sometimes in life, when we lean on our understanding, when we lean on the ways that we want to see things, when we lean on the ways that we perceive things, we're seeking in something that was not designed to be your strength. When God gave me this message the first time, I was like, Okay, Lord, what are we gonna be? How do we explain this? And He highlighted it to me a certain prophet named Ezekiel, but he wasn't highlighting Ezekiel because of his life, but he was about his name because the name of Ezekiel means God's strengthens. And the heart of this message really had to do with the fact that when we lean on God's understanding, when we lean on his wisdom, when we lean on his perspective, we're leaning on his strength, and ultimately he wants to strengthen us. And the funny thing is that this is a message that can be so easily passed by because the fact that we're even here, the fact that we're watching there errors in our lives that just you know, off the back we're like, no, I trust in God, I lean on God and all that stuff. But you see, the fascinating thing about the house is what makes up a house. A house is not just one space. Right, when you go into a house, you have a bathroom, you have a dining room, bedroom, and all that stuff. The dining room and the bathroom they're in the same house, but they don't serve the same function. Right. You can't do what you do in the bathroom, uh, in. The dining room. That's just gonna be weird. And you see, I mean some of y'all I don't know. But the rest of us we can't do stuff like that. And so but the interesting thing about that is that there's a parallel with the way a house functions and the way our lives function. You see, each and every one of. Us, our lives has different rooms, and those different rooms are. The roles that we play in life. You see, you have a sister or brother version of you. You have the employee version of you, you have the friend version of you. You have there's so many roles that are connected to your life. But do all those roles serve the same God? And that's where we're going today. You see, there's a time where in my life where this is so funny because I will be s I was so dedicated to the church. I was, you know, Thursday, I'm there Tuesday, yea, j didn't matter, right, I would go over to it was the youth leader. I'll go over to this sus in college. I'll go over to our house Thursday night. So I could stay the whole weekend and church evangelize all that stuff. But if my brother needed me. For something, I was nowhere to be found. How was the role if something was off? So the church version of me was selfless, was always willing to show up. The sister version of me was somebody else. And you see a lot of times we are like that. The version of us that are in this house is loving, caring. Somebody hits you, Oh bless you, sister. They're like, oh they annoying and just kicked me. Halleejah. Right, your brother does that to you, You wanna curse him out. Somebody at work does that to you. You flip out your totally different version of yourself. The same thing that you can tolerate in this house, you cannot. Tolerate it outside of this place. And you see when God says, if the Lord is not the. One building the house, God is not interested in building a room in the house. He's interested in building the house. And when we don't give him our house, everything is as though it's in vain because you see, the funny thing about life is that when one area of your life is I will use the word corrupted, every it affects every area. See for example, in a house. If you have mold in a bathroom, for example, if you need it, just you know, just don't even pay attention to the mold. It's gonna spread out, it's gonna contaminate every area of the house. And a lot of times what we do in life we cover up the areas that are corrupted. And this is how the enemy works and manipulates things, because you give more of yourself to the places that are not How do I even put it, Let me use myself for example, right when I was, you know, in college, and I was just very active, Oh my gosh, the pastor yeah, I'll be there. But I wasn't that same thing for my brother, and so I justified how I was to people that were okay, that that appreciated that selfless version of me. I justified how I was to family and even friends sometimes because there was one area of my life that I felt was okay, but that in itself was a cover up of my brokenness. And so the enemy would deceive you in allowing you to think that you're. Oh, it's okay. You know, you come to church, or even you're probably even judging the people that are doing what you're doing outside of church, and we think that, well, it's okay. But today it's very, very very heavy. That we understand that it's not about one role in our lives. God wants to penetrate every role that we play, you see. Because. A lot of time I'll I'll even share something with you guys. Right, So I remember there was this time where this was still in college. So I recently bought this camera, and I remember I used my rent money to buy that camera. And so right from buying the camera, there was this I think it was like it was once a month there was a certain prophet. He would come the he do. He used to have like this mini conference and so we'll go to the conference. So the day we were going. There, I stopped at best Buy bought the camera and we went to the conference. Now, when I was buying the camera, that was gonna serve the role I play in school, because I was gonna start there was a documentary I wanted to shoot, and I was like, you know. What, we're gonna do this. And fine. Then on the way to the the conference, right after the conference ends, God tells me give the the man the profit your camera. I said, what I said, the terrible is a liar. And God is like, yeah, he is a liar, that's that's right, But you're gonna give him your camera. And you see in that moment, there was a connection with two roles that we're gonna serve a function and we're gonna serve God's purpose. You see why I point this out is because a lot of times, when who you are in one place doesn't reflect the second place, God cannot use you in that area. Yeah, and so that's why some of us don't even invite our co workers to church, cause they probably would not recognize this version of you. And so in that conference, I remember and I'm like, you want me to do I use my rent money for this camera. Lord, I have purposes for it. I have things I wanna do with it. And he says, give it to the prophet. And so right after the serve, I'm like shaking because I just spent a lot of money on this camera. And so I woke over. I walk over to the man and I'm like, you know, God said I should give you this camera. And he starts laughing, and I'll tell you why I'm sharing this, but he starts laughing, right, and I'm just like, what's funny. The fact that. I'm losing money. And he says that he's been praying to God for someone to film their conferences that he doesn't really need a camera, but he needs someone to film. I'm like, look, sign me up. I will film it as long as. I can keep the camera. And so right there he's like, okay, sure, you know if you can come and film, and I was like, you know what, Look, it's like. Just sign me up right there. And I share this because not too long I started filming his conferences. Everyone he would come, you know, for the many things, I'll film it for him. Some few years after that he passed away. Why I share this is because the roles that we play in life, if God cannot penetrate those roles, if you are not functioning based on the voice of God in those roles in your life, you will not be as effective as it needs you to be. You see when when when I filmed this, I remember the first the first two weeks I was filming this conference for this prophet. So he calls me and he's like, hey, you know he just got like a booked in Brazil to come out and speak based on one of the videos. I was like, where do I get a commission? But but few years when he died, God showed me that if you were not effective in filming this man's messages. There are people that needed even in his absence. And today we have to be you see, we're praying. There are people that were just like, Lord, I really want this person to come to the Lord. I want this person to see your love and all these things, and all God is saying is that can they see that in you? Can they see that in you? The conflicts that we have. We have family members that we don't even talk to, but yet we come and wear Hollellia Jesus. Do you know that even in the scripture, God is so serious about relationships that he says that even if you want to bring an offering and you have an offense with your brother, go and settle. The offense before you come back to me. In the scripture, it says that he has given us a ministry of reconciliation. If you never know what your ministry is in life, that's one thing for sure everybody got because he's so serious and he's so intentional about us being reconciled, about us having relationships, healthy relationships with one another. You see, on one end, there were two things that were really highlighted to me when God gave me this message about structure and on one end that was it, and then there's a second part that it's gonna be very interesting to go into. But even as we stand in this place, you see there's a passage in scripture, and I hope I even have it. I don't know if I gave it, and even if it's in my notes, but. There's a passage in Scriptures and Ephesians, and it talks about give no place to the devil. It says, give no place. And the root word of place actually has to do with a room. It talks about a place of habitation. And the way the enemy, I tell you, family, the way the enemy would always deceitfully come into your life is through the roles that you play. Because there are roles that you played that it's okay to be snappy, it's okay to be rude, it's okay to gossip, it's okay to yell because it's tolerated. And so when the. Scripture says in Ephesians, give no place to the devil, because if he has one place, he knows how to make it a home, and he knows how to. Maneuver in different areas. You see one one thing that has always blown my mind and the scripture was the whole thing about the the the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. You see, apart from the fact that the tree was about you know, obviously God did not want them to eat it, because that was what, you know, a commandment he gave them and them in the tree was how to do with disobedience. But I always wanted them like, why apart from disobedience and all that stuff, why was the enemy very you know, serious about getting someone to eat that fruit. You see, the fruit in itself, it holds the knowledge of good and evil. Every time you see a fruit, it serves one purpose. An apple tree is an apple tree, An orange tree is an orange tree. Even in the. Garden they have the tree of life, not the tree of life and death, just the tree of life. But this one tree had two things going on in one And what I understood that the enemy was interested in is the coexistence of good and evil in the one place. In one fruit, you have good and. You have evil. And a lot of times in our lives, every time there are areas in our lives that appear to be good, and there are areas in our lives that appear to be evil. It's as though we are back in the garden of eating eating that fruit. And we're okay with it. And tonight family is really a time for us to take a look at the roles that we play and be honest with ourselves. How do we talk to our parents, How do we talk to our family members, How do we talk to our co workers? How do we relate with people outside of the places? That is not okay to be rude, It's not okay to be dismissive, it's not okay to do things that serve the enemy is good? How do we do these things? You see on the second aspect. One thing I really understood today is that there are certain people that came in here and you really did not want to come to church today, someone actually brought you here and that person is probably rejoicing right now. Wow. And what is taking place is this is gonna be interesting. But what's happened is that there are some parts in your lives that you've actually you've made no room for God. In any area of your life. And even though you do have an understanding of God, you understand that yes there's a God, and you understand that yes, he's real, and all those things but you have made no room for him. And even there's some people that are watching this right now, when someone is actually having you watch it with you. Because today, the way I saw this message, apart from the things that are for us, it was as though God was. Highlighting one person. And I went to the scripture. It was in Matthew and God talks about Jesus was given a parable about sheeps, and he said, if a shepherd has a hundred sheep and one runs away, that he will leave the ninety nine to look. For that one. And when he finds that one, it would it's like it will bring so much joy to him. And you see, some of us. Are here today to stand together for someone. There is someone that is in this house, and God is calling you. He maneuvered the whole message I planned to preach. I planned right for this one person. I want us to open really quick to second Thmite. One night. And it says, and now who in this passage is talking about Jesus? And it said, who has saved us and called us with the holy calling? Not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace which has which was given to us in Christ. Jesus before time began. You see, before we even go into this, when we're we're in this season, you know, Easter weekend is this week. One thing I love about when we talk about the death and resurrection of Christ and because. This person. When God and you know, God has been calling you. You know there is something pulling in you to go deeper. And the beautiful thing about the sacrifice of Christ is not about religion. It's not to serve a God in fear of perishing, but it's a call of invitation to fellowship. You see, when you open your heart to God, he would be real to you. And there's some people here honestly, you haven't felt a true encounter with God. You desire it, but you're not all the way open to it. And as a particular person, even the reality of hell is strange to you. You focus on Heaven is. The only place that's real, but you don't you don't even wanna think that Hell is real. And today cause I'm. Not a hell preacher, you know, I don't. I don't like all this hell preaching. But there's a reality because you see, one of the enemy's tactics in this world is to remove people from the reality of Hell, because if he can get you to not think that this place actually exists, there is no whatever. And right and God and God would never God. Never uses Jesus, never use Hell as a tactic. It's never like, That's why it's never about you're gonna go to Hell. If it's no, that's not a tactic. But it's always a call to invitation for fellowship. Yeah. He doesn't want you to say, Lord, I give you my life out of a place of fear that I don't want to perish. No, no, no, he says, just open your heart to me and let me be real to you. Not because your mother is terrified that you're gonna lose your salvation, None of that. Because the truth is, even when when when we hear sometimes about how someone was in Christ and then they went away, they never encountered You cannot encounter Jesus and walk away. You cannot when when you have and there's some of you in here and you have those moments where it's like, okay, I'm done, but you've never really encountered Him. Because to encounter Christ literally, the understanding that God I give you my life is not it would not be strange to you. It would not sound foreign to you, because when you encounter him, you encounter love and it's fullness. And so some of you that reality you just kind. Of canceled it out that no, there's no there's nothing like hell, but there is family, there is. I remember a time when when God was really showing me things like, you know, I'm calling you to this and all that stuff. I remember a dream I had and in the dream it was just there was this beautiful bridge and it was made with all like all types of just all different colors of like diamonds and crystals. Was really beautiful. And so I'm standing with a man who I knew to be Jesus, and he's like, he's really sad, and I'm like, do you see where we are? You know, why are you sad? But he shows me and he points, so it's like, let's say, this is the bridge right here, and then he points like to the whatever what was going on at this end? And I look at it. So from here before that point, it's light, it's. Beautiful, it's just amazing. At that point was total darkness, and it's people falling straight down. It's a mass of people just falling, and I'm just like, what is this? What is going on here? And he tells me to look again, and so I'm now I'm I'm in the awareness of what's going on. There is this mass group of people going to hell, but no one was coming to heaven. And I'm like, what is going on with hard? Where is everybody at? Sorry? But you see, but this is this is real, real talk. I'm so I'm always like, you know, a little interesting but real talking. I was looking, I'm like, what's going on? And it saddened him because it wasn't just about It's not about oh, you know, don't sin, because the beautiful thing is that when you're in Christ, the blood. Of Jesus has cleansed your sins. Right, not that you should sin, you know, be cleansing, you know, don't keep taking multiple showers and the Lord. But what I'm trying to say is that none of this message is about fear or anything like that. But there was an understanding that a massed group of the people that were going were not even conscious about the reality of hell, and so because they never thought about that, there was never a drive to say, Lord, are you real? Is the Jesus that I've been hearing about and I feel in my heart are you real? Because trust me, when you have a heart to seek God, he would always reveal himself to you. He would always reveal himself to you. And I share that today because this individual and there's probably even more of you. You're here today and you've never had that encounter with God, and today is not about oh, come to me, trust me. Family. It's never if someone tries to scare you into salvation, you should even run. It's never about that. But God wants your heart to open up and just even just open up to him and say, Lord, are you real? It's all this really real? I hear about this, I hear about that. Can you show yourself to me? Because you see, when God kept highlighting this individual or multiple individuals in this room, it came back to the Samaritan woman. You see when Jesus, you know, they're doing their thing, and the passage says that Jesus needed to go through Samaria, he needed to, but he was going there for this one woman. And his encounter with that woman brought so many people to him through that woman. And you see what God wants to do with your life. Your testimony by itself would blow people's minds, like who is a Christian who is. Believing in Jesus? But that in itself would bring so many people to him to say, God, are you real? And like the encounter the Samaritan woman had with others, they would say the same thing, that you know what we were looking for Jesus because you know you found him, but now we know him for ourselves. Family, there are two things happening in this room today, and we're gonna do a corporate prayer tonight because on one. End, and we really have to check ourselves. You see. That's why I loved when the song went played withholding nothing. I just love that so much because are we willing to withhold no area in our life for God, no role in our life for God? Can we be so loving and so giving but cheat people in the workplace. It's even in the little things, in the little things, when you take something that does not belong to you in the little things at work, it does not matter because one thing, Once something is corrupted, it makes a way to corrupt everything else. And so. If it's forgiveness that needs to take place tonight with family members, with friends, with whatever it is, if it's also those uh, a huge thing that was highlighted even in the in the tone in which we speak to people, the manner in which we speak to people. How do you. Carry the light and the love of God? But then the way you address another is dishonoring. The way you speak. I loved I saw a quote about what loyalty meant, and it said speaking about another. As if they were there? Is that how we are to the people that we connect ourselves to. When this message when I woke up this morning, it was such a huge burden in my heart and I knew it wasn't just one of the I was like, Lord, you know, I'm trying to laugh and joke a lot, but it wasn't those kind one of those kinds, right, because it's a very it's very heavy on God's heart. Who we say that we are and if we are those people, if we truly are carrying the light in every area of our lives. Family, let's stand. You see, when we looked at this message and for for the the the the p the few that I'm talking about when it talks when I'm, when I'm when we're relating about not having an encounter with God, let's pull that up back. Please, we're gonna be standing for a little bit, just in exercise. You know, there's some or we need to be together in this. You see that passage says I wanna read this again, and it says, who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ, Jesus before time began. You see, God wants you to even awaken to your purpose. But your purpose is in Christ, and without him, there's no realization of what it is that He has called you to do. You see something I love when it also when we go back to the main text of today and it talks about houses, and it talks about if the Lord, it's like, if the Lord is not building the house, to those who build, build in vain. But the beautiful thing about building a house is that before a house can be built, there has to be an architectural plan, an architectural design. And that design, when you look at it, you see the completion of that house. Right, You see what the whole thing is gonna look like. And so when you can trust God with your life, you're trusting someone who knows the finished work of it. Who is not leading you in just random places. He knows the finished. Work of your house, your life. You see. My brother is in real estate, and there's something very interesting about even houses. What takes place before you you build a house. And so there's this property that he's about to start doing. There. They just they're about there, you know, purchasing the land to build this property. But it's even interesting because even before all of that, there's something that they call a plot line. And so when you buy a land, you have to, you know, they have to do this plot line where they put is like they put sticks to show you the part, the portion of land that belongs to you. And what I love about that because in everything you see God. But what I love about that is even though so you see this land, if you go there by yourself, let's say you've purchased the land, you just go visit it, you would have no idea, you know, the with or the land of what is actually yours until they do. The plot line. And what I love about that is that it shows you the area that you are able by right to build it. You see, when our lives are out of God, we start dabbling in other people's purposes. We start we start dabbling in things that God has never assigned to us. You see another thing that happens before you build a house, they do a soil test, and the soil test is to ensure that the strength of the soil can carry the house before you even lay foundation or anything like that, because depending on the soil, they are setting soils that you can build a skyscraper on, they're setting soils that cannot even carry your weight. So depending on the strength of the soil, that's how they know what can be built on this land. You see a lot of times we have built things that we've made decisions from our own understanding, our own perspective, and it's caused cracks in our home. Yeah. You see, when you build a house on a soil that is not capable, When you don't have the knowledge of the soul, and you build a house on such soil and it's not a b it's not able to carry that house, that's when you start seeing foundation cracks and homes. That's when houses collapsed. That's when all this kind of weird stuff happens to homes because they never had knowledge about the soil before they got excited to start building. And a lot of times in our. Lives we do things without consulting God, and then when the cracks come in, we blame God. That's really yeah. But when you're in God, the things that he will tell you to do, He's already tested the soil for it. He knows. He knows that this thing will not fail, this thing will not perish. But that is why it is so important. Family, in every area of our lives. Not just the areas that it looks like. This is what you know? This is an area that I should consult God. In the people you allow in your home, in the people that you. You say yes to do work with? Did God? Is he in agreements with that? When we say withholding nothing? Family, God wants to build your house. He doesn't wanna build a room. He wants to build the house. And when cracks come in, and if there are cracks right now in your life, you have to look. Back and say, did I act? Did I seek God about the decisions before I made them? Yeah? Because that is how we build The decisions we make in life is how we build our homes. HM. Family, if you're here, I'm gonna do something interesting spirit. If you're here and you know that this message is speaking to you. On the first part when it comes about building your house, and you can be honest at yourself and say, you know what, there are areas in my in my living, you know situation that I haven't involved God in. And even as we sang that song withholding nothing, there are areas in your life that there's unforgiveness. There's all kinds of things. And so even church in itself is more of an addiction than you come in for a a pure relationship with God. It's more of like like a binge because it's helping you, it's medicating the other issues in your lives like that. But God is not about one area being okay and another area looking a little strange, right, And so if that is you just come on down. It's come on down. I it is ain't now. And I don't know if you're here already or if you're still stunding out there, but you know that you came here and you did not even wanna come here today. You there, God was. God is so intentional to see there's there's a scripture that says it does not please God that anyone should perish. It does not please God. It is never his will. Just keep coming, I see you, praise God. Christ God, Amen, Amen, Amen, just keep coming. It does not please. God that anyone should perish. He's not trying to scare you into salvation now. All he's saying is. Wow. All he's saying is open your heart to me. That's it. Let me show myself to you because I am real, and I want you to know that Jesus is so dear to me. Not because it makes me feel good or because that is the thing to do, but he is as real to me as you are to me. I cannot imagine my life anywhere else. I c I cannot even fathom the thought of leaving j Like, how how have you seen that? That uh video? How? Ha? How am I supposed to leave him? Ha? I can't. Because he's real, family, He's not a thought, He's not someone up. There you know he's He's real. And if you're still out there and you haven't encountered him for yourself, never just come to church because your mom wants you to or your family wants you to. That should not because then it would just it would keep going like that with. No real encounter. God wants to show you himself. If you're still out there, just come down, just down, and we're gonna wait. There's someone to still. I know some of you are here, but there's someone you can't lose. When you bet on God, you cannot lose. You cannot lose family. Don't be afraid of this moment. Don't You will you are You will remember this moment for the rest of your life. Don't be afraid of this moment. There's a lot of hesitation, there's a lot of resistance. God wants to show you himself. He doesn't want. You to know him through other people, even through the religious study of the Bible. No, no, no, because honestly, even even the Bible trusts me. If you read the Bible without the Holy Spirit, you might even go to Hell. I'm joking. I'm joking, but I say that because you will have no understanding of it. You see, when I started reading the Bible, as I was so fascinated because I encountered God early, and I'm like, okay, I want to learn more about him, so let me read the Bible, right, And so I started in the Old Testament and in the Old Testament when they talked about, you know, the sacrifice of you know, animals for the covering of you know, sins and all that before the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus. But I hadn't gone there yet. And I'm just like, and so back home, you know when we're gonna have chicken. You know that we have a life chicken in the house that you kill and then you cook. Right, And so one day they brought a chicken. I'm like, oh my gosh, we need. To sacrifice this to the Lord. I need the blood of this chicken. I wanted to do some weird things because I had no understanding of what the Bible was talking about, right, and so even in reading the Bible, you need the Holy Spirit, you need God. Family, if you have not encountered God for yourself, do not be afraid of this moment. There is nothing to lose. All you're simply doing is Lord. I'm not sure if you're real, but if you are, let me know you for myself, and he will make himself known to you. If you're still out there, just come on, dumb, I mean. Amen, Amen, look at God. Come on, let's praise God world. Aymen, Just k just keep coming. If you still out there, Amen, the enemy's not gonna have. A hold in any of your lives. He's not gonna deceive you. He's not.

There's a fear that. Even in this moment, it's okay, it's okay. There's fear that's been broken up in the name of Jesus. In the name of Jesus, Thank you Lord, Thank you Lord. Amen. It's a wow. There's a lot of fear. There's a lot of fear that God is lifting up. Thank you Lord, Thank you Lord, Thank. You, Lord, Lord. Great in the. Jesus, in Jesu, Thank you, lors, thank you Lord. Speak it's free. She's green. In the name of Jesus. We cast out every spirit of fear. She is free the name of Jesus. Peace, She will sleeping. She would have rest, Lord God, no more turned around the Lord God, she would have resting you in Jesus things. Thank you Lord. Amen. There is fear being broken up. Amen. You see. You see there's some some some even have there's also a. Fear there's there's there's a lot of things connected even tonight, and I'm just this is an incredible family because when we come together like this, things that we that were not even in the program just starts being lifted. Come on. You see. There's also the fear some of you have. There's a fear of death connected to an accident that somehow you there's this thing about it's it's gonna be a car crash, and God is saying that will not happen, that will not happen. There's a lot there's just different things are being highlighted. And also that it's like. Some people are gonna walk into there's gonna be like a dilemma where there's something you've been asking God for for a long time and it's gonna be conflicted with something. That you're fearful about. And God is saying, do not fear. I am with you. I am with you. Fear that fear, fear all over this place is being lifted off. Family. It's being lifted off because see a lot of science, the major thing, the one thing that pulls. Us away from moving and making decisions based on God's word is that fear becomes louder than what. God is saying. And so that thing is being lifted off. Even there's a fear that certain people, like even. In your family members, there's like this fear of death in the family. But you see, the beautiful thing even about the blood of Jesus, is that you see how God just allows me to incorporate this message. The beautiful hearing. About the blood of Jesus is that not only does it not only does it do an eternal work in you, It doesn't external work. You see in Leviticus, I believe it's on if it's seventeen or something fourteen, there's a passage that talks about the cleansing of the lepers now lepers in the Old Testament, and even it was its symbolized sin, right, you know, cleansing, you know, just like the washing of the sin. But there's something that happens when the leper is being cleansed, the blood that is required. At a certain point, the priests would place that blood on their right ear lobe, will put it on their right palm and on their right foot. Everything in the Old Testament. That has anything to do with blood foreshadows what the blood of Jesus represents. Not only does the blood of Jesus do some does something internal in you, but external. It marks you, family, It marks you. The enemy cannot come to you because when he sees you, it's not just you. When he sees you, he sees the blood of Jesus. Fear is being lifted off in the house. Thank you, Lord, Thank you Lord, Thank you Lord. Wow, family, let us look us just pray, look at look at the look at God, and we're gonna just worship out. Just hold hold the hand of the person next to you. Father, God, we thank you for this moment. We thank you for this moment Lord, that week. As standing as one. Lord, we thank you for what is being lifted off your people. What is being lifted Lord. We're not gonna be moved. We're not gonna make fear based decisions any. Thank you. That who we are and one aspect is who we always would be. That despite the different roles we play, but we would produce the same fruits. Of the Holy Spirit. Lord God, we thank you. May your love. Saturate every area of our lives. Lord, may they never be a conflict between who we are on this day and who we are on the next day, who we are with person A and who we are with person B. Lord, to you be all the glory. Thank you for those that took that step of courage and said, Lord, I want to know if you are real. I want to know if all of this is evenreal. Because God, you always you would always reveal yourself to your people. They are yours, Lord, and you des I heard this moment for this reason, you sent your son that we may be in fellowship with you. Why would his blood be shed if you don't want to make yourself known. We thank you Lord that this day would be such as you have shown me that indeed, it's a day we would never forget. It's a day they would never forget that. They can pinpoint and say, yes, I was scared, Yes, I was hesitant. Yes I did not want to I don't even know why I came here, but I still said yes to God. That I said yes to God. I thank you Lord, because even tonight you're showing that you're gonna even through dreams, You're gonna speak in such powerful ways. I thank you Lord that you're bringing because there's a lot, there's a highlight on a lot of a lot of people that are not resting, they're not sleeping at night, but you're bringing rest to them. There's so much, so much is going on, but fear has been lifted and that rest is coming upon them right now, in the name of Jesus, Thank you Lord, that they would sleep. They will not be tossing around, they will not be their pillows are not gonna be wet with tears. Thank you Lord. There is nothing to fear when we are in you. You have marked us. You purchased us with your blood. You watch over your purchase. No one ever buys something valuable and treats it as insignificant. You are watching over us. Lord. We thank you that as we talk about structure, our structure, the structure of our life will look right before you, because it would be all about you. Thank you Jesus. And as we worship out Lord, continue to fill us with your love. Wrap each and everyone in here with their. New dispensation of your love, Lord God, because we cannot even fathom how wide it is. So in this moment, fill us up with a new level of understanding of your love. Touch us with a just new fresh revelation of your love, Lord God. A love that protects us, a love that covers everything around us. Thank you, Lord, in Jesus' name. Amen.
