Stephanie Ike - Unusual Miracles Unusual Faith

Family, we're going to go into the Word of God, and actually you may be seated because before we go, we'll go on a journey. And if you're watching it, you're 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. 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 we're going to enter a time where more than ever, the world will need to know that he is a miracle worker. And so what we touched on last week was the part one was unusual obedience, right, and I spoke about a man named Paul. It's interesting because in the past he used to be known as Saul, and he was one who murdered believers. He gave the 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 that used to terrorize and persecute believers is not the one. That would raise them up. You see, when Paul said yes to God, it was an unusual yes, because he's stepping into the very spaces that they have known him. 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 obed 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 will 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 said, Paul, 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 nineteen and is from verse eleven. What we read last week was verse eleven to twenty, and it was Paul and he's trying to Now he's going to this place in Western Asia, which is in Ephesus, and when he goes it, 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 room recognizes your thor 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 these groups of men and they were known as the Sons of Skiva, 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 the 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 going to 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 eleven to verse twelve in Acts nineteen, and it says, now God worked on usual 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 is a limited resource, he cannot go everywhere, there were these people that brought handkerchiefs and aprons. And what's interesting is that handkerchiefs and well 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 the 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 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, this 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 twelve 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 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 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 what I'm coming at 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 raymer words of God, and the Raymer. Word of God speaks to the Word of God to you. So when there is a word that is spoken directly to you, it ministers 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 it ministers 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 he's taunting the Israelites. Finally, David somehow gets wind of this and he is ready to go after the god Goliath. Because David recognized something. He said, you know what, when he was going 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 guarantee to 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. It's 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 his king, and Daniel refused, and in his refusal, they were going to throw him into the lions den. And we never hear a story about the Bible telling us that God told Daniel, Daniel, if you go into the lions then 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 is great panic in the world. There is great fear in the world, and we know that there is this virus, the coronavirus, that is bringing so much fear and torment on people and worry and doubt about God. What is going to 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 are still God over it all. God. Where there is stress in my life, where there is panic in my life, where there is 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 have not grabs onto you? See the beautiful thing? I was reading a. Story our pastor share 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 sent him to South Africa to minister and bring the gospel to South Africa. And he would go back and forth, and there was there was a point where there was this plague called the bubonic plague, and it was very contagious and I mean peep 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 it 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 him 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 will 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 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 got in the plague. And he said, it is the spirit of God in me. He had the 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 you know, the lungs that will have this foam, and in the foam you will see the virus. So he says, take the foam from the lungs and put it under a microscope. And when he did, he asked 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 the revelation of God that brought him to their awareness that this is not of God. And because it is not of God, that I would boldly step out and I 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 is a joke, is that we look at it almost like this. Prophet named Elisha. There was a time where there was war against him, and there were people 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 will 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 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 unbelief, 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 disciples. 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 being raised. All kinds of things are happening. But in 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 said 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 later on he explains to them that it's 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. What they saw the healing of God, they saw the miraculous of God. And then they encountered this situation and their 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 it 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 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 received 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 in more. 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 will 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 ask the Lord Jesus, and he tells 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. I'm right here that they would fast 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 then, 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 prayer 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, all the madness that come against your life. But there is 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 in tune 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. Is it that you you what is on your heart today? What burdens you 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 it was so interesting. He showed me this man and he actually comes to our church. He shows me this man and he says there is someone connected to his life that is that has cancer. And I believe at that time it was like a stage three or stage four, 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 or something like that that same day because I just opened up myself and say, God, you show me. And when God revealed his heart to me, that knows, 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 has 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 what happen is the doctors will 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 minister to me because it was nothing I did, It 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 a waymaker, 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 going to show up. You see, Family, this is a time that we have to be so in tune and surrendered and focused. That is even where fasting comes in. Fasting clears out the noise. Fasting clears out the distractions because when you're fasting, for when you're in a time of fasting, because many times what we sometimes 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'm like, what do you mean? Like I have not been eating things that I should want to eat. And he said to me, He's 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 sacrificed your intimate moments with me? And so when we are fast and 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 I 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 revelation of who is God to us and who is God in this generation and what is He made available to us to tap into? You see, there is a scripture that really speaks to me. It's in Romans tend Too, 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 nations, 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 ignorance, the enemy creeps in. Now, frustration sets in. 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 pressed into God. This is the time that we have to press in to His word God. Who are you? God revealed more opened layers of who you are to me. I want to know you more, I want to seek you more. Where has there been panicing 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 a 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 two hundred and fifty people, you know, against it that 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 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, give 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 war 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 questions. Of in my heart in prayer is that God teach me how the war in this season. Teach me what Warren looks like in this season. I don't want to just do what I'm what I'm used to, But God, give me a new perspective, sharpened my discernment, and show me how have you called me to walk things out? How have you called me to proclaim your name. So we're going to 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 say, no, I hear everything that is going on, but I save 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's this season that seems like, Wow, God, what is taking place? And this is gonna bring a season that would almost look like barrenness. It will 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 going. To serve your agenda. That God, when we open our mouth, it would 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 fruit. 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 door and she says, you know what, if you give me a child, I would 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 the in the scripture. It was the servants that tapped 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 the timing where you are called to rise. You see, it was not that 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 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 will say the name of Jesus. The world will 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 seeking 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 a waymaker, than when you seek before you, when you come before God and say, God, show me that. You are the way maker. Reveal to me how you are the way maker. When you spend time to press into those words, you see, 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 embraced that, my God would always win the victory. We see that David's whole life was surrounded by war. Even the Lord said to him, there was 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 that allowed me to find my victory in him. And in the same way, when Goliath came, he said, and God would do that too. He said, Goliath would be just another one that God would 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 you can't seem to unsee about God. But yet because of distraction, you forget 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, it is. 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. Wow, the Holy Spirit is knowledge, the Holy Spirit is wisdom, the Holy Spirit is this is that? So there are things about God. There are 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 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 is this being. 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 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 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 a 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 is 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's some things that you just thought that Lord, maybe that wasn't your will, but it actually was. But you need to press in. You need to press in more to who I am. We all do because 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 to 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 and 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 watching, I just want you to stretch out your hand. You're connected to this moment. Heavenly Father, we thank you. Ka about shame, 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, show up. May the world proclaim that you alone are God. Lord. I thank you for healing that is taking place even now, Oh God, I thank you Lord that you are moving even. Now, Oh God. Kada dabashi Lord. Everyone that is tuned in, everyone present, Lord, 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 will do it by your spirit and you are doing it now, Lord, show yourself, show that you are mighty in battle. 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, Lord, we will see many drawn to you. 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're 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 are in is to first know you as savior, to say that, Lord, there is something happening in my heart right now, I can't 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 you as 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 want to know you as the foundation of my life. I want to 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, Almighty God. We thank you that you're moving, O 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 are would be so loud in this generation and in the nations. Oh God, the world will 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? God, abashitty, May we see you right God? And from that place, from that place of knowing what you have already secured for us, knowing who we are in you, Lord, we would walk out in boldness. We would say what you would have us to say, and we would do what you would have us to do, and we would decree a thing from the. Place of the knowledge of God. Zeal will be matched with knowledge. We would not run Kada dabasheh without the knowledge of who you are, to be tripped up by the lives of the enemy. But Lord, we will learn the power of stillness before you, to say, God, and counter me afresh, and counter me afresh. Old 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. Thank you, Lord Jesus, 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, O 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 too. New life was raised up too. Lord God. Shame and guilt have no power over me. I have 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 and 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 ten percent of everything that we have, is ten percent of our income, and it's not what we give to God. It's 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 me. I have it because you open 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. This is I'm not. 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 ninety 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 wind 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 sow into that word. I want to 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 to what's our give and have an expectation of God. What was it that you heard that you want to sow 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, Oh 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 worsh
