Speaker A:And everyone that I know that's.
Speaker A:That's prospering in their health, in their marriage, in their relationships, in their finances.

Speaker A:The word of God is what saves you, is what heals you.

Speaker A:It says in the scriptures.
Speaker A:You know, he sent his Word.
Speaker A:He who keeps his mind stayed upon the Word stayed upon the Lord is kept in perfect peace.
Speaker A:You know, this, this is.
Speaker A:This is too important to.
Speaker A:To skip.
Speaker A:I encourage you to get your face off of Facebook and get your face in the book.
Speaker A:Right.
Speaker A:This is.
Speaker A:This.
Speaker A:Make.
Speaker A:Make a daily habit of reading the Word of God because it'll be a transfer.
Speaker A:The.
Speaker A:The.
Speaker A:The second most important decision you can make after following Jesus is dedicating yourself to reading the Word.
Speaker A:It's that important.
Speaker A:And so, you know, this scripture jumped out at me.
Speaker A:This is Revelations 21:5.
Speaker A:It says, behold, I make all things new.
Speaker A:Behold.
Speaker A:Behold is really an old word for look.
Speaker A:The Lord is saying, look, I'm making all things new.
Speaker A:You know, there are things that, that have been spoken into your life that you haven't yet seen come to pass.
Speaker A:There are things that are in the word of God that haven't yet come to pass.
Speaker A:There are, there are things that haven't.
Speaker A:The once dead that haven't yet come back to life.
Speaker A:But I really feel like the Lord has given me a word for 20, 25.
Speaker A:And that word was, let faith arise in 25.
Speaker A:You know, and, and just this idea that God is bringing life back into things that were once dead.
Speaker A:He's resurrecting dreams, he's resurrecting hopes.
Speaker A:He's stirring up people in the realm of vision.
Speaker A:People that have ears to hear will catch the vision and let faith arise in 25.
Speaker A:Let's look.
Speaker A:Let's look and see what the Lord is doing.
Speaker A:You know, everything in our life is just vying for our attention.
Speaker A:It's really doing its very hardest to try to keep our attention on the things of the world.
Speaker A:But we're not supposed to be giving our attention to the things of the world.
Speaker A:We are in this world.
Speaker A:We are not of this world.
Speaker A:We're supposed to be giving our attention to the things of the Word.
Speaker A:And when the Christians, when the believers give their attention to the things of the word of God, the things in the world will have to come into alignment.
Speaker A:Man, this is powerful.
Speaker A:He says, behold, I make all things new.
Speaker A:Well, maybe there are some things in your life that you need some newness to come about.
Speaker A:And I cannot think about a better time of year to think about things becoming new than in a new year.
Speaker A:All things.
Speaker A:Not some things, all things.
Speaker A:And I make all things new.
Speaker A:Well, you know what?
Speaker A:His mercies are new.
Speaker A:Every morning we have things to be thankful for.
Speaker A:We can wake up in the morning, say, lord, I thank you.
Speaker A:The yesterday is done and today is here.
Speaker A:I thank you, Lord, that I have a brand new start today.
Speaker A:That I get to live life today I get to have breath in my lungs.
Speaker A:Today I get to have this moment to make a difference.
Speaker A:This moment to encourage someone.
Speaker A:Today I thank you, Lord, that I have a moment to praise you today.
Speaker A:Man, he makes all things new.
Speaker A:You know, maybe you need some newness in your physical body.
Speaker A:And we're going to be praying for healing in just a moment.
Speaker A:But there are some.
Speaker A:There are some things that we can be speaking that really help us to see things that he sees.
Speaker A:He says, here, look, he wants your attention.
Speaker A:I really feel the Lord is drawing us.
Speaker A:He wants to have, you know, he says.
Speaker A:He says in Scripture, he's a jealous God.
Speaker A:He doesn't want to share you with anyone else.
Speaker A:He wants your full attention.
Speaker A:Says, look, behold, look, I make all things new.
Speaker A:You know, even the things that the enemy is messed up or tainted or spoiled or ruined, he'll make them all new.
Speaker A:And what, you know, if nothing else, this is in the book of Revelation.
Speaker A:This.
Speaker A:This comes from Revelation 21:5.
Speaker A:If nothing else happens between now and then, by the time we get to heaven, every stain's going to be removed, right?
Speaker A:It's going to be all new.
Speaker A:Isaiah 43, 3:19.
Speaker A:This is a good one.
Speaker A:Look at this one.
Speaker A:It says, behold.
Speaker A:It starts with this word, behold.
Speaker A:Look again.
Speaker A:Look.
Speaker A:Look and see what the Lord is doing.
Speaker A:You see, there's a theme here.
Speaker A:It all starts with beholding.
Speaker A:What are we beholding?
Speaker A:What are we gazing into?
Speaker A:What are we looking at?
Speaker A:What are we giving our focus to?
Speaker A:He says, behold, I will do a new thing.
Speaker A:Now, this is in the Old Testament, looking forward to the book of Revelation.
Speaker A:This is in the Old Testament.
Speaker A:See, God doesn't change.
Speaker A:He's the same yesterday, today, and forever.
Speaker A:But he still says, behold, I will do a new thing.
Speaker A:There's a new thing that's coming.
Speaker A:He says, now it shall spring forth.
Speaker A:You know, this new thing that the Lord is doing is going to be a sudden thing.
Speaker A:I really feel that there are going to be some sudden changes that happen in our lives this year.
Speaker A:Some sudden changes.
Speaker A:Now it shall spring forth.
Speaker A:It's not like it's going to drag full day by day.
Speaker A:It's a.
Speaker A:There's a springing, there's a motion, There is an action.
Speaker A:For some people, this is almost like it's going to spring forth.
Speaker A:Like, wait, wasn't there.
Speaker A:Wham.
Speaker A:Right there is center.
Speaker A:Right and center.
Speaker A:You know, it's going to come as if it came out of nowhere.
Speaker A:It says, shall you not know it?
Speaker A:Question mark?
Speaker A:This is a question.
Speaker A:Shall you not know it?
Speaker A:In other words, are you going to be caught by surprise?
Speaker A:Are you going to be caught unawares?
Speaker A:No, the Lord is going to reveal these things to his children.
Speaker A:He's going to reveal these new things to his children, right?
Speaker A:Of course you're going to know about it.
Speaker A:When God is doing something, you can.
Speaker A:You can know about it.
Speaker A:We have the Holy Spirit on the inside of us.
Speaker A:If we're born again, we have the Holy Spirit who leads us into all truth.
Speaker A:Right?
Speaker A:John says that we have an unction from the Holy One and we know all things, that we have the mind of Christ, that He.
Speaker A:He reveals to us hidden mysteries.
Speaker A:God is doing some new things in the earth this year, some new things that are springing forth.
Speaker A:And the first people he reveals them to are you and me, the believers, his kids, right?
Speaker A:It's not going to be a surprise to us.
Speaker A:And what things are springing for?
Speaker A:Good things.
Speaker A:Good things.
Speaker A:The Lord only does good things.
Speaker A:Let me help you with this, because I see a lot of confusion, especially on social media.
Speaker A:God is not judging America.
Speaker A:God is not judging people that are up to sin, right?
Speaker A:Because all of his judgment, he is placed upon Jesus.
Speaker A:The things that God is doing right now on earth are good things.
Speaker A:Good things come from God.
Speaker A:That's what it says in James.
Speaker A:Good things come from the Father of lights.
Speaker A:And where there is no, no shadow of turning.
Speaker A:He doesn't change his mind.
Speaker A:All of the punishment for things that are happening in the world today for people's sins, past, present and future, it was taken on the cross on Jesus.
Speaker A:Now, there are some natural consequences of living in a fallen world, but God is not in a phase of judging people, right?
Speaker A:His judgment, his anger, his wrath was placed upon Jesus.
Speaker A:Don't fall into looking at things that are springing up in the world saying, oh, God, he's judging.
Speaker A:God is not judging.
Speaker A:That's completely unscriptural.
Speaker A:We are New Testament believers, right?
Speaker A:So the things that are springing forth, some of the things that are springing forth in the world are just a result of living in a fallen world, of people being crazy and, and following off the wrong stuff.
Speaker A:But the things that God is bringing forth, God, I'm telling you, God is bringing forth deliverance.
Speaker A:He's bringing forth healing.
Speaker A:He's bringing forth hope and love and peace and joy.
Speaker A:He's bringing forth prosperity.
Speaker A:He's bringing forth good things.
Speaker A:Amen.
Speaker A:And so us as his children, you know, if God takes care of such great care of the birds, of the air, of the smallest creatures, how much more so is he going to take care of us?
Speaker A:This thing, he says, I'm doing a new thing now.
Speaker A:It shall spring full.
Speaker A:Shall you not know it?
Speaker A:He says, I will even make look at this is what God says to his children.
Speaker A:And this is Old Testament.
Speaker A:So how much more so in life, Jesus, are we going to Enter into this.
Speaker A:I will even make a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.
Speaker A:In other words, he's saying this, these.
Speaker A:These good things that I have for you, they're going to create opportunities for you where it looked like there weren't any.
Speaker A:It's going to.
Speaker A:It's going to create a road in the wilderness.
Speaker A:In other words, it's going to take you places.
Speaker A:God can take you places no one has ever been before, where no one in your family has ever ventured, where there isn't even a path, where there isn't a.
Speaker A:There isn't a trail blazed by anybody else.
Speaker A:Yet he has given you a yes.
Speaker A:Where everyone else says that there is no or no, he is giving, he will give you a door of opportunity.
Speaker A:Where the adversary says, no, you can't go that way.
Speaker A:God says, nope.
Speaker A:You.
Speaker A:You have the VIP ticket, right?
Speaker A:He will make a road in the wilderness.
Speaker A:Not even.
Speaker A:You know, sometimes we think of the wilderness and think, well, that's going to be a really hard trail.
Speaker A:Maybe we can cut a trail.
Speaker A:You know, the wilderness is jungle.
Speaker A:It's thick.
Speaker A:It's.
Speaker A:It's uncharted territory.
Speaker A:Maybe we can make a trail.
Speaker A:No.
Speaker A:God says, no, I'm going to make a road.
Speaker A:I'm going to make a highway through the place where mankind says, you cannot go.
Speaker A:Where your.
Speaker A:Maybe your physical body says, oh, I'm too weak.
Speaker A:The Lord says, no, I'm giving.
Speaker A:I'm giving you the strength.
Speaker A:You can do all things through Christ who strengthens you.
Speaker A:He says, I'm making a road.
Speaker A:I'm making a way.
Speaker A:I'm.
Speaker A:I'm making access where there was no access before man.
Speaker A:That's.
Speaker A:That's powerful, right?
Speaker A:Look at this.
Speaker A:In this.
Speaker A:And rivers in the desert.
Speaker A:See, God can.
Speaker A:God can call you to prosper in any environment.
Speaker A:Rivers in the desert, rivers.
Speaker A:You know, in.
Speaker A:In the scripture, a river is a.
Speaker A:Is a.
Speaker A:Is a path of life, right?
Speaker A:It is a.
Speaker A:It is a stream.
Speaker A:It is a.
Speaker A:An avenue of prosperity, of supply, of nutrition.
Speaker A:It is.
Speaker A:It is full of energy and life.
Speaker A:You know, when you think of a river in the desert, it's bringing life.
Speaker A:It's springing forth life where there was something.
Speaker A:Something that was dead, where there was dryness and barrenness and fruitlessness and.
Speaker A:And just no hope.
Speaker A:The Lord says, I'm not even going to make a little spring.
Speaker A:I'm not going to cause it to rain.
Speaker A:A.
Speaker A:No, I'm not going to bring temporary relief.
Speaker A:I'm going to bring you a river, a constant supply of my Goodness, even in places that were barren and destitute and hopeless.
Speaker A:I'm bringing a river, not just one river.
Speaker A:Reverse into the desert, man.
Speaker A:See, this is opportunity.
Speaker A:This is what I believe the Lord is saying to us for 20, 25.
Speaker A:Let faith arise in 25.
Speaker A:But it starts with the same word.
Speaker A:You know, the first scripture we started with was Revelation 21:5.
Speaker A:Behold, I make all things new.
Speaker A:This.
Speaker A:This.
Speaker A:This scripture I'm quoting now.
Speaker A: Isaiah: Speaker A:Behold, I will do a new thing.
Speaker A:Behold means look.
Speaker A:Look at what I'm doing.
Speaker A:I hear the Lord saying loud as anything, look at me.
Speaker A:Look at what I am doing.
Speaker A:Don't look all around.
Speaker A:Don't look all around the room.
Speaker A:I want your focus.
Speaker A:I want your attention.
Speaker A:Look at me.
Speaker A:Look at what I'm doing.
Speaker A:I'm doing new things.
Speaker A:I'm bringing new doors of opportunity.
Speaker A:I'm bringing new avenues, new relationships for you to have and for you to enjoy.
Speaker A:Right?
Speaker A:I'm bringing new possibilities where there wasn't.
Speaker A:I'm bringing new ways of thinking, new.
Speaker A:New solutions to problems where everyone else could see a problem.
Speaker A:You know what?
Speaker A:More than Houston, we have a problem.
Speaker A:The Lord has a solution.
Speaker A:This is important.
Speaker A:You know, there's some other things that the Lord has made new.
Speaker A:And sometimes we look at our physical situation.
Speaker A:We look at the house that we live in, the car that we drive, if we have a car.
Speaker A:You know, we look at the clothes that we wear.
Speaker A:We look at, you know, the way that our body moves or doesn't move, or we just.
Speaker A:We look at our bank balance, right?
Speaker A:We look at our finances, and what we see is death and dead and decay and old and not enough.
Speaker A:But the Lord says, I'm doing a new thing.
Speaker A:You know, sometimes we look at our past.
Speaker A:We look at where we've come from.
Speaker A:We look at our generations that went before us.
Speaker A:We look at our history and decisions that we've made that led us up to the position that we are right now.
Speaker A:And we think, man, I don't know that anyone, anything or anyone could undo some of those things.
Speaker A:Some of us live in a.
Speaker A:With a lot of regret, a lot of.
Speaker A:I wish I could go back.
Speaker A:I wish I would have done things differently, you know, but we can't.
Speaker A:We can't go back.
Speaker A:We can't undo.
Speaker A:We can't do things differently.
Speaker A:What is done is done.
Speaker A:That this scripture even applies to those things.
Speaker A:I want you to see these.
Speaker A:This is Second Corinthians 5, 17.
Speaker A:He says that you are a new creature in Christ.
Speaker A:You're a new creature.
Speaker A:He says, behold, look, old things have passed away.
Speaker A:You are a new creature in Christ and old things have passed away.
Speaker A:Behold, look, all things have become new even, right?
Speaker A:Even those mess ups, even those that dead part of your soul, it's become new.
Speaker A:When you receive Christ, you became a new creature, a new creation.
Speaker A:And actually if you study that out, when it says a new creature in Christ, it means something that has never been created before.
Speaker A:There has never been another you.
Speaker A:Now you may be a twin or a triplet or multiple, whatever, but you know what?
Speaker A:There might be other people that look just like you.
Speaker A:There might be even people that biologically share the same DNA as you, right?
Speaker A:But no one has ever been created that's just like you.
Speaker A:You are 100% unique.
Speaker A:You are made in the image of God.
Speaker A:You know, he gave you a unique personality, a unique set of, of skills and talents, a unique set of abilities, of ideas, of dreams.
Speaker A:He knows every word that's ever going to come out of your mouth before you even speak it.
Speaker A:He thinks about you.
Speaker A:He dreams about you constantly.
Speaker A:You know, he has plans for your life that no one else can fulfill but you.
Speaker A:You are uniquely you created in Christ, brand new.
Speaker A:There will never be another you.
Speaker A:And that is why we need you in the world today.
Speaker A:We need every one of you to be you.
Speaker A:Not to be somebody else, but to be who you were created to be you.
Speaker A:Uniquely you in Christ, man.
Speaker A:You know, when you were born, I had this dream a while ago now.
Speaker A:And you know, I didn't realize what it was at the time, but I knew that I was seeing a vision of heaven.
Speaker A:And as I seeing this, this vision of heaven, I'm there in heaven and there's, you know, angels everywhere.
Speaker A:And I, and I enter into the temple and I remember being in my vision about five years old, like a little girl.
Speaker A:And as I go into the temple, the temple is full.
Speaker A:They have these massive columns all through the temple holding up the roof, huge columns.
Speaker A:And everywhere were angels and people and robes and being, you know, I'm only five foot grown up, right?
Speaker A:But being in my five year old self, you know, I was really, you know, like little.
Speaker A:And everyone seemed to be towering above me and they were crowding around something and this crowd is so thick.
Speaker A:I crawled on my hands and knees to push my way through the robes and the sandals and the feet to get to the front of where whatever it was was happening.
Speaker A:And as I get to the front, I see the Father sitting on the throne, on his throne there in the temple.
Speaker A:And in his arms was something, he was holding a baby in his arms.
Speaker A:And I thought, wow.
Speaker A:And all of the angels are like, wow, this is the most amazing, amazing, the most beautiful creature that we have ever seen, that Lord, you've ever created.
Speaker A:We have never seen any creature as beautiful as this one.
Speaker A:And they were just like worshiping God, like, what a creation that you have made.
Speaker A:And I wanted to see, I wanted to see what everyone was looking at.
Speaker A:So I climbed up into the, into the lap of God and I looked down into the face of that child.
Speaker A:And you know who it was that was sitting on the Father's lap?
Speaker A:It was me.
Speaker A:And the Lord says, yes, I created you, the most beautiful creation that I have ever made.
Speaker A:The most unique creation that has ever been.
Speaker A:And I suddenly had a realization that the Lord had me in mind in the courts of heaven before I was ever born on earth.
Speaker A:You know, it says in Hebrews that we are citizens, the firstborn citizens of heaven.
Speaker A:You know, we as spirits are eternal.
Speaker A:You know, when, when the Lord created us.
Speaker A:He says, you are the most beautiful creature I've ever seen.
Speaker A:And that is true for every single one of us.
Speaker A:You are a new creature in Christ, man.
Speaker A:If you just think about that, right?
Speaker A:You just, you just think about that and how, how much time the Lord took to put you together.
Speaker A:How unique you are.
Speaker A:Those thoughts of depression, of suicide, of hopelessness, they had no place in you.
Speaker A:That God when, when you realize how precious you are to be a new creature in Christ that loses.
Speaker A:Look, this is my new creature in Christ.
Speaker A:This brand new baby believer that has just been recreated in Christ.
Speaker A:Man.
Speaker A:When he's so excited, the whole of heaven rejoiced at your birth.
Speaker A:Man.
Speaker A:When we think about how excited the Lord was at your birth here, even on earth, you know, we.
Speaker A:The thoughts that go contrary, that maybe that our self talk, you're no good, you can't do it.
Speaker A:You've messed it all up.
Speaker A:They pale in comparison to the celebration that happened in heaven at your existence, right?
Speaker A:You're a new creature.
Speaker A:So when you're going on into this new year, remember that, that you are brand new creature in Christ.
Speaker A:The heaven rejoices over you, right?
Speaker A:That you have a purpose here on if you have a purpose for this year, God has given you a purpose.
Speaker A:He has plans for you.
Speaker A:New things, new doors of opportunity.
Speaker A:And if our eyes and our attention are not on him, we might just miss it.
Speaker A:I don't want to miss it.
Speaker A:I don't want to miss anything that the Lord has for me, right?
Speaker A:So I'm going to keep my focus where it needs to be.
Speaker A:You're a new creature in Christ.
Speaker A:Look, can you see what the Lord is doing?
Speaker A:There's my question.
Speaker A:Can you see?
Speaker A:You know, I want to show you something.
Speaker A:Because sometimes we are so focused on the past, on something that we cannot change, that we miss what the Lord has for us, for our future.
Speaker A: he next, we have to let go of: Speaker A:Don't drag across old things, old mistakes, from one year into the next.
Speaker A:You know, I want to show you something.
Speaker A:Turn it over to the book of Philippians.
Speaker A:Okay?
Speaker A:Philippians 3.
Speaker A:While you're going there, you know, the.
Speaker A:I was thinking about this this morning.
Speaker A:Sometimes we go through, through seasons in life where it just feels like we're in a bit of a fog, you know, can you relate to that when maybe you're.
Speaker A:You've just like in, in a fog, like you can't see or think clearly about a situation, or maybe about the season, maybe you can't quite see ahead what the direction is.
Speaker A:You can't, you're not quite sure what decision to make.
Speaker A:You know, it's not quite clear to you.
Speaker A:And you hear people and this time you're making their goals, right?
Speaker A:Making their year goals, their five year goals, their ten year goals.
Speaker A:And you're thinking, I can't even decide what I want to eat today.
Speaker A:You know, it's just there seems to be such a fog, such a, a lack of clarity.
Speaker A:Am I doing the right thing?
Speaker A:Am I in the right spot?
Speaker A:Am I, you know, am I in the will of God?
Speaker A:Am I, you know, I'm in there with the right people.
Speaker A:There just seems to be like the fog, or maybe you're experiencing just like, like a, it's more like a physical thing where you really are struggling with your attention, where, where you just got some, some physical challenges.
Speaker A:It's just hard to think, right?
Speaker A:But you know, there's things.
Speaker A:In England we have a lot of fog.
Speaker A:We have a lot of physical fog, right?
Speaker A:Because it's really humid, lots of rain.
Speaker A:And I've noticed something that is missing on the cars in America that we have on cars in England.
Speaker A:And there's an extra set of lights at the front of your car.
Speaker A:Some people have them up high, actually, and they're really bright, high beams.
Speaker A:They're called fog lights.
Speaker A:And all my English friends On here.
Speaker A:Be like, yeah, we know what fog lights are because we use them a lot.
Speaker A:And, you know, when it's foggy in England, people are so used to the fog, they don't even slow down.
Speaker A:Right.
Speaker A:You know, here in Colorado, where we are, if you have a little bit of fog, which is rare, people are, like, panicking.
Speaker A:They're creeping along.
Speaker A:Well, we can't see.
Speaker A:But in England, they're so used to it.
Speaker A:Yeah, we just turn the fog lights on.
Speaker A:Well, here cars don't even have fog lights as standard because they're not used to it.
Speaker A:But, you know, we have fog lights.
Speaker A:And the good thing about fog lights is they.
Speaker A:They're high beams of light that focus through the fog.
Speaker A:They cut through the fog like a laser beam, and they give you clarity.
Speaker A:You know, we have spiritual fog beams.
Speaker A:Our spiritual fog beams is.
Speaker A:Our faith is the ability to see and to hear beyond the mist.
Speaker A:So if you find yourself in a spiritual fog with more questions than answers, sometimes, you know, what our.
Speaker A:Our past can create a fog.
Speaker A:Our history can create a fog, you know, and it can cloud our judgment.
Speaker A:It can rob us of.
Speaker A:Of hope for the future.
Speaker A:You know, if we've been through something that's really traumatic, if we've been through maybe a lot of disappointments, had a lot of people or situations just where we've been disappointed, where people have let us down, where there have been a lot of promises that seem to have been broken or things that we've been really expectant for that haven't happened.
Speaker A:And a hope deferred has made the heart sick.
Speaker A:You know, it can make us kind of.
Speaker A:It can taint us.
Speaker A:It can change how we think about our future.
Speaker A:And, you know, it's subtle, but sometimes we're so.
Speaker A:We're so acquainted with past failure that we don't realize that we're.
Speaker A:We're in.
Speaker A:We get trapped in a negative cycle of expectation.
Speaker A:And expectation is extremely powerful.
Speaker A:It will work in the positive or the negative.
Speaker A:I have a whole teaching series that I just created on this last year, the end of last year, called the Power of Expectation.
Speaker A:I would encourage you to go to our website and get ahold of that.
Speaker A:The power of expectation.
Speaker A:But expectation can work for you or it can work against you.
Speaker A:Well, if you've come from a place where you're so.
Speaker A:You've seen so many negative expectations fulfilled, you can actually.
Speaker A:It creates its own weather system.
Speaker A:Expectation creates its own weather system.
Speaker A:Right?
Speaker A:Just like.
Speaker A:Like strong weather systems where it starts to create its own disasters.
Speaker A:You can find Ourselves propagating that negative cycle of expectation.
Speaker A:And it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy.
Speaker A:You know, the fog of the past, the stains, the mistiness, the murkiness of the past can cling to you.
Speaker A:You know, this is why in the scripture it says when disciples went from town to town, Jesus told them to shake the dust off their feet.
Speaker A:Shake the dust off.
Speaker A:Why?
Speaker A:Because you don't want to be carrying that into the next season.
Speaker A:You know, I'm, I love the stories of David in the scripture and I love the fact that he wrote most of the Psalms actually, because, you know, he was always going through a fight or a challenge or something.
Speaker A:His life was far from easy, but he was victorious.
Speaker A:And one of the reasons for that was he learned to shake the dust off.
Speaker A:You know, he ran after Goliath with full force and boldness because he didn't think to himself about any failure, his defeat as being an opportunity.
Speaker A:What he did was he rehearsed his past victories.
Speaker A:He says, you know, that I've killed the lion, I've killed the bear.
Speaker A:The Lord helped me, delivered me through those things.
Speaker A:This was just going to be just like that.
Speaker A:You know, he didn't allow his, his defeats to get him down.
Speaker A:You know, there's another story of this in Philippians, if you're there, let's read this.
Speaker A:You know, the Apostle Paul, he had a colorful life.
Speaker A:You know, a little bit of history on the Apostle Paul.
Speaker A:He was a radical Jewish scholar and you know, he was very educated.
Speaker A:Just grew up in, from, from child.
Speaker A:He was, grew up in the temple learning under the top rabbis.
Speaker A:He was set apart to care as a Pharisee, to, to care and to protect the doctrine.
Speaker A:And when Jesus came along, you know, this enraged the Jewish Jews and he went around writing the death warrants for many of the new, the very first believers.
Speaker A:He held the coats of the, the people that stoned Stephen.
Speaker A:It talks about this in Acts, you know, he signed his death warrant.
Speaker A:And you know, when, when Paul was born again or Saul became Paul, he was at the, the, the conversion on the road to Damascus.
Speaker A:God spoke to him from heaven like light shining from heaven.
Speaker A:And he said to him, saul, why do you persecute me?
Speaker A:You see, when, when someone comes against you, the Lord takes it personally on your behalf, right?
Speaker A:When, when someone can, comes against one of his children, it's as if they come against the Lord himself.
Speaker A:That's not a good place to be, right?
Speaker A:Not a good place to be.
Speaker A:So when, when Saul realized this, you know, his conversion, his name was changed To Paul.
Speaker A:Paul.
Speaker A:And so we talk about him in, you know, with his new name as being Paul.
Speaker A:But when he realized this, you know, he.
Speaker A:He repented and he turned around.
Speaker A:And it's interesting to me, of all of the.
Speaker A:The people in the New Testament, I understand this.
Speaker A:Paul wrote probably two thirds of the New Testament.
Speaker A:He wrote a huge chunk of the New Testament.
Speaker A:And yet he was the one that went around killing Christians, you know, authorizing soldiers to rip believers out of their homes and murder them in the streets.
Speaker A:You know, he was.
Speaker A:He was a murderer, a.
Speaker A:A serial murderer.
Speaker A:And yet God redeemed his life to such a degree that he wrote more about joy than anyone else in the Scriptures.
Speaker A:He wrote more about joy than anyone else in the Scriptures.
Speaker A:And to me, that is just a testament to how far removed Paul's past was from his future.
Speaker A:You see, if he had allowed his past, if he had allowed his regret, if he had allowed his sorrow, the fog of his past to carry with him from place to place, God never would have been able to use him to reach his full potential.
Speaker A:It's time to let go of some things.
Speaker A:This is a word for someone today.
Speaker A:It's time to let go of some things in order to reach forward to the future.
Speaker A:Now I want to show you.
Speaker A:This is what Paul has, has to say.
Speaker A:This is in Philippians 3:12.
Speaker A:He says, not that I have already attained or have been already perfected.
Speaker A:Paul wasn't claimed to be in the finished article, but he says, but I follow after it so that I might lay a hold of that for which I was sent seized by Christ Jesus.
Speaker A:You know, in the amplifiers, it says that I may laid a hold of grasp and make my own everything for which Christ has laid a hold of me.
Speaker A:Man, we have to.
Speaker A:We have to let go of some things.
Speaker A:He says, brothers and sisters, I do not count myself to have attained, but this one thing that I do, this one thing.
Speaker A:What is the one thing that the person that wrote most of the New Testament has to advise you to do?
Speaker A:I think we should probably list it.
Speaker A:What is this one thing, this one piece of advice?
Speaker A:If Paul had one piece of advice, this is what he would advise you, right?
Speaker A:This one thing, singular focus.
Speaker A:Thing that I do, I forget those things.
Speaker A:Forget those things which are behind and reach forward to those things that are ahead.
Speaker A:I press towards the goal, to the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
Speaker A:Look at this.
Speaker A:It goes on.
Speaker A:It says, therefore let those of us who are mature be thus minded.
Speaker A:Mature believers will let go of things that are trying to trap them.
Speaker A:They will let go of past disappointments.
Speaker A:They will let go of past grievances and offenses and things that they're holding on to from other people.
Speaker A:They'll let go of past sorrows and hurts.
Speaker A:Even now, this doesn't mean that this is easy, but this is essential.
Speaker A:You know, you are not responsible for people hurting you, but you are responsible for your healing.
Speaker A:Oh, come on now, that's tight.
Speaker A:But it's right, because healing begins with a choice.
Speaker A:Healing begins with a choice.
Speaker A:Maybe you were hurt.
Speaker A:Maybe people injured you emotionally, spiritually, physically, sexually.
Speaker A:You were hurt.
Speaker A:You were a victim.
Speaker A:And it's of no fault of your own.
Speaker A:There were things that, that happened to you that shouldn't have happened to you.
Speaker A:Things that were said, things that were spoken, things that were done that, that you had no, no part to play.
Speaker A:And you, you just, you just happened to be the victim.
Speaker A:You had no control over those things happening.
Speaker A:You had no control over your past.
Speaker A:But your future is in your hands.
Speaker A:Your healing, your wholeness is in your hands.
Speaker A:And it begins with a decision.
Speaker A:Like Paul said, the choice to let go.
Speaker A:The choice to let go, that means you can't keep holding on.
Speaker A:That means you can't keep rehearsing it.
Speaker A:That means you can't keep talking about it and reliving it and remembering it.
Speaker A:We don't want to keep remembering it over and over again, right?
Speaker A:We want to.
Speaker A:We want to release it.
Speaker A:And so he says we have to let go of those things in order to grasp everything, every potential that God has for me.
Speaker A:He says, mature people think this way.
Speaker A:I want to be a mature believer.
Speaker A:I want to be a mature believer.
Speaker A:I want to let go of those, those injustices, those, those.
Speaker A:And I think this means as well, there's more to this.
Speaker A:This is.
Speaker A:This is true on multiple levels.
Speaker A:And what's coming to me now by the spirit of the Lord, is there are some debts that you need to forgive.
Speaker A:There are some people that owe you some things.
Speaker A:And you know what?
Speaker A:The emotional tie that it's creating between you is so negative that it's better to just release them.
Speaker A:You know who you are.
Speaker A:It's better to just release it and be free and be clean and start over.
Speaker A:Then have that emotional bondage, that connection with them.
Speaker A:You don't need that.
Speaker A:You know, freedom costs something.
Speaker A:And sometimes that means just letting go, forgiving a debt that's owed anyway.
Speaker A:Do with that what you will.
Speaker A:But he says, let those of us who are mature be thus minded.
Speaker A:And if you Think differently in any way.
Speaker A:God's going to reveal this to you, right?
Speaker A:This is really important.
Speaker A:If you're open to it, the Holy Spirit will show you things that you need to let go of.
Speaker A:And when we choose to let go of the things of the past, we'll have more capacity in our heart and our thinking to see the vision that God has for us in our future.
Speaker A:Sometimes it's really difficult to have vision for the future when we're so, so familiar with things of the past, you know, and this is true for sickness as well.
Speaker A:When.
Speaker A:See, when people have been sick for a long time, their vision gets really caught up in the things of the past.
Speaker A:They think sick, they dream sick, they speak sick.
Speaker A:And it's.
Speaker A:It's hard to imagine themselves in a vision of being healthy, of being wealthy, of being free from whatever those things are.
Speaker A:And so they meditate on.
Speaker A:I remember when, you know, before I was healed in.
Speaker A:And I've been healed many different things over the years.
Speaker A:But, you know, I used to have a lot of dreams of me being sick.
Speaker A:I used to dream at night about having seizures in different, random, different places.
Speaker A:And I don't do that anymore.
Speaker A:Why?
Speaker A:Because.
Speaker A:Because I. I don't want to dream those things anymore.
Speaker A:I take.
Speaker A:I can take control over my thought life.
Speaker A:I take control over my dream life.
Speaker A:This is important, right?
Speaker A:Because I'm not going to allow my body to rehearse things over and over again.
Speaker A:So turning on the fog lights, right?
Speaker A:Let fade their eyes in 25.
Speaker A:Paul had a past that could have taken him out, but he had to let it go.
Speaker A:You had to let it go.
Speaker A:I think the Lord's inviting you to let some of it go, right?
Speaker A:Let it go.
Speaker A:And the Holy Spirit will help you with this.
Speaker A:Your past.
Speaker A:Oh, this is good.
Speaker A:Your past does not disqualify you from God's plans or his future.
Speaker A:You know, the enemy would love us to believe.
Speaker A:Would love.
Speaker A:You know, the only thing he knows for sure is your past.
Speaker A:He doesn't know your future.
Speaker A:He's not that smart, right?
Speaker A:He may have seen people like you, but he's never seen you.
Speaker A:He doesn't know what you're thinking.
Speaker A:He can't read your mind, right?
Speaker A:The enemy does not have that much power.
Speaker A:But what he can do is he can get you by the power of suggestion, to rehearse your past failures.
Speaker A:I'm going to show you some things.
Speaker A:This has really been speaking to me a lot.
Speaker A:And this is in Psalms.
Speaker A:Going over to Psalms chapter one.
Speaker A:And then I'm Going to get to praying for you just a little bit.
Speaker A:Okay, so Psalms, chapter one.
Speaker A:I'm going to show you this.
Speaker A:It starts out, blessed is the man who walks not in the council of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers, but delights.
Speaker A:But his delight is in the law of the Lord.
Speaker A:That's in that, in the scripture, in the Word.
Speaker A:His delight is in the Word, right?
Speaker A:And in His Word or in his law, he meditates day and night.
Speaker A:Now this is really important.
Speaker A:He's.
Speaker A:He doesn't.
Speaker A:He doesn't think.
Speaker A:He doesn't walk.
Speaker A:He doesn't stand.
Speaker A:He doesn't sit like the world sits.
Speaker A:He doesn't.
Speaker A:He doesn't position himself.
Speaker A:And you know, you know, to walk.
Speaker A:This is talking about going in the direction of being influenced by that.
Speaker A:A man who is blessed is not influenced.
Speaker A:He doesn't walk in the.
Speaker A:In the wisdom of the world.
Speaker A:He doesn't walk in the wisdom.
Speaker A:It doesn't take advice from the world, nor does he stand in the path of sinners.
Speaker A:That means he doesn't position himself amongst them.
Speaker A:He doesn't.
Speaker A:The wise and blessed man does not position himself in the midst of that world, but nor does he sit in the sea of scoffers.
Speaker A:Now, this is interesting.
Speaker A:There are a lot of people that are doing this right now.
Speaker A:They're throwing stones, right?
Speaker A:They live in glass houses and then they're throwing stones.
Speaker A:Okay, you see this here on social media.
Speaker A:You see this a lot, okay?
Speaker A:But you know, we're not to sit in the sea of scoffers.
Speaker A:We're not just throw stones at other believers that we have no authority over.
Speaker A:Okay?
Speaker A:But it says here, his delight is in the word of the Lord.
Speaker A:His delight them, the blessed man.
Speaker A:His delight is in the.
Speaker A:In the word of Lord and in His Word, in His law, he meditates day and night.
Speaker A:Now I want you to see this word meditate.
Speaker A:I'm going to look this up for you here in my handy dandy Little Strong's Concordance.
Speaker A:And this is in Psalms 1, verse 2.
Speaker A:The word meditates there, okay?
Speaker A:And it means this.
Speaker A:It means to ponder something, right?
Speaker A:To murmur it, to ponder, to imagine it, to mutter it, to roar it, to speak it, to study, to utter, to talk about it, right?
Speaker A:To.
Speaker A:To roar it like a lion, to imagine it, right?
Speaker A:It means to meditate.
Speaker A:Take the Word of God and think upon it and dream upon it and speak it out.
Speaker A:Man that's powerful.
Speaker A:And it says, and that man that does that day and night.
Speaker A:So this is part of routine.
Speaker A:This is part of having our focus in the Word of God.
Speaker A:Remember we said at the beginning, there's if we need some vision, we need to get into the word of God, right?
Speaker A:He says, if you want vision, by the way, you need to be in the word of God.
Speaker A:Because being in the Word of God will help you have vision, will help you see God's plans.
Speaker A:God wants us to behold him.
Speaker A:He wants us to look.
Speaker A:He wants to see us, to see what he sees, to say what he says.
Speaker A:And in order to do that, it's only going to come by meditating on his word.
Speaker A:He says the man that does that, he will be like a tree planted by the rivers.
Speaker A:Here we are, rivers in the wilderness, by the rivers of water that bring forth its fruit in its season.
Speaker A:God has a supply for you that is unnatural.
Speaker A:He has an unnatural source of provision for you.
Speaker A:He has an unnatural source of energy for you.
Speaker A:He has a limitless supply of refreshing, refreshing for you.
Speaker A:But it comes when you are rooted in the word of God, to the fact that it doesn't matter if he's in a.
Speaker A:If it's a desert scenario, if it's barren, if it looks like it's hopeless, if it looks like it's dead, he will bring a river of supply.
Speaker A:When your roots are in him.
Speaker A:You will tap into that water table of supernatural supply way below the ground.
Speaker A:And no one else can see it, but you can see it by faith.
Speaker A:You'll tap in and you'll bear fruit even in the midst of the wilderness, even the midst of the barren desert.
Speaker A:He says.
Speaker A:He says you'll bring forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf shall not wither.
Speaker A:And whatever he does shall prosper.
Speaker A:You know that prosperity and that resilience and that productivity, it comes from having deep roots, that stability.
Speaker A:You think of a tree with deep roots, it has a stability to it that is so resilient even.
Speaker A:It doesn't matter what the economy does or who becomes president.
Speaker A:Doesn't matter.
Speaker A:Doesn't matter if there's natural disasters.
Speaker A:It doesn't matter if there's, you know, weird things going on in the web.
Speaker A:Who cares?
Speaker A:Who cares?
Speaker A:Honestly, I don't care what the world is doing or what the weather is doing or what the military is doing.
Speaker A:I don't care.
Speaker A:My focus isn't on that nonsense.
Speaker A:My focus isn't what is the Lord doing?
Speaker A:What is the Lord doing?
Speaker A:What is the word doing?
Speaker A:Because when we focus on what is the Word Doing that is what's going to change our lives.
Speaker A:That is what's going to heal our hearts.
Speaker A:That is what is going to improve our marriage.
Speaker A:That is what is going to bring strength to our bodies, clarity to our mind, vision to our hearts, purpose to our life.
Speaker A:That is what's going to cause us to prosper in the middle of what, any circumstances.
Speaker A:I want to encourage you today.
Speaker A:Well, you know what?
Speaker A:There's weird.
Speaker A:Yep, there's weird stuff going on in the world.
Speaker A:I don't give a rip what goes on in the world.
Speaker A:I'm not of the world.
Speaker A:I just happen to be in it.
Speaker A:My source comes from heaven, man.
Speaker A:If you want to go through this world and have more stability this year than you did last year, it comes from having your focus, your meditation based upon the word of God.
Speaker A:Not based upon social media or the news or whatever else you hear.
Speaker A:Where are you putting your attention?
Speaker A:It'll be a supply to you.
Speaker A:Now, I want you to skip on down and we looked at the word meditations.
Speaker A:Rage.
Speaker A:Why do the nations rage and the people plot a vain thing?
Speaker A:You know this word plot?
Speaker A:The people plot a vain thing.
Speaker A:It's exactly the same word as the word meditate in Psalms 1, verse 2.
Speaker A:You'll find it in Psalms 2, verse 1.
Speaker A:It's the word meditate.
Speaker A:Plot.
Speaker A:You see, meditation here in this verse is used to mean something negative.
Speaker A:Meditation is imagination.
Speaker A:Your imagination can be used for something that's negative or it can be used for something positive.
Speaker A:The same word meditation, that calls you to be a tree planted by the river with resilience and fruitfulness and supply is the same meditation.
Speaker A:If putting the wrong things that can cause you to plot evil and have vain imaginations, man.
Speaker A:See, it's the same thing.
Speaker A:You have a capacity to think good thoughts.
Speaker A:You have a capacity to dwell and meditate upon the things of the world.
Speaker A:Man, this is really important.
Speaker A:Really, really important.
Speaker A:We can use our imagination and our words for our future, or we can use our imagination and our words for our past, which we can't change.
Speaker A:Now you get to choose.
Speaker A:Where are you going to put your attention?
Speaker A:Where are you going to put your focus this year?
Speaker A:Where are you going to put your meditation, your passion, your energy?
Speaker A:Where are you going to put it?
Speaker A:Are you going to put it on your future or are you going to put it on your past?
Speaker A:Quit rehearsing your past.
Speaker A:You know, rehearsing your past is a problem.
Speaker A:This word meditate.
Speaker A:Now, I told you, it means that it comes from plot.
Speaker A:Okay, there's something Else it means.
Speaker A:It means to recount something, to rehearse something.
Speaker A:It's the same word.
Speaker A:Don't rehearse, don't plot.
Speaker A:Don't recount things that you've been through.
Speaker A:We need to rehearse past victories if they're good, if they're positive.
Speaker A:And we need to imagine and meditate on those things.
Speaker A:And it will help us have vision for our future.
Speaker A: You know, Proverbs: Speaker A:But happy is he who.
Speaker A:Who keeps the law, keeps the teaching.
Speaker A:Happy is he who meditates on the word of God.
Speaker A:Without vision, the people perish.
Speaker A:You know, we need to be people of vision.
Speaker A:We need to be people because it says without vision, the people die.
Speaker A:It doesn't say without.
Speaker A:Without a doctor, the people die.
Speaker A:It says without vision, without vision, the people perish.
Speaker A:They literally die.
Speaker A:Isn't that interesting?
Speaker A:You'd think, you know, if somebody was perishing because they're sick or catastrophe had happened, something had gone wrong in their life.
Speaker A:No, it says without vision.
Speaker A:It didn't say without food, without strength, without water, without a shelter, the people perish.
Speaker A:No, it says without vision, the people perish.
Speaker A:You know, the word vision?
Speaker A:It's talking about a spiritual sight.
Speaker A:Without the ability to see by faith, people die.
Speaker A:Why is this?
Speaker A:Because they can't see themselves as the healed of the Lord.
Speaker A:Because they can't see themselves getting through this.
Speaker A:Because they can't see to turn the fog lights on.
Speaker A:They can't see through the fog.
Speaker A:They can't see the future beyond the past.
Speaker A:They can't see the doors of opportunity that the Lord is opening for them.
Speaker A:The rivers in the.
Speaker A:In the.
Speaker A:In the desert, the.
Speaker A:The roads in the wilderness that the Lord is creating for them.
Speaker A:They miss the opportunities of escape.
Speaker A:Escape because they haven't got vision.
Speaker A:They can't see by the eyes of faith.
Speaker A:Don't look at what the world is doing or what the weather is doing or what the economy is doing.
Speaker A:Look at what is the Lord doing?
Speaker A:What is he doing in your midst?
Speaker A:Because he's mighty in the midst of us.
Speaker A:He.
Speaker A:Somebody needs to say that today.
Speaker A:The Lord is mighty in the midst of me.
Speaker A:The Lord is mighty in the midst of my family.
Speaker A:The Lord is mighty in the midst of my body, my bank account, my workplace.
Speaker A:You put that in there.
Speaker A:Whatever applies to you in this moment, the Lord is mighty.
Speaker A:Say, the Lord is mighty in my midst.
Speaker A:He's more than enough to get me through any challenge, to get me over any hump, to supply to me in the midst of the wilderness, to nourish me in the midst of a famine, to find an opportunity, a way of escape where it seems like there is no way.
Speaker A:The Lord is mighty in my midst, man.
Speaker A:And we are agreeing with you.
Speaker A:Ashley and I, we.
Speaker A:We are agreeing with you.
Speaker A:And, you know, there's.
Speaker A:There's one.
Speaker A:There's one last scripture I want to share with you before I pray with you.
Speaker A:This is.
Speaker A:This has been going around and around on the inside of me.
Speaker A: It's in Romans: Speaker A:Faith comes by hearing and.
Speaker A:And hearing by the word of God.
Speaker A:You know, people need to be.
Speaker A:People need vision.
Speaker A: We need to have vision for: Speaker A:And we need to have.
Speaker A:And we need to have the ability to hear God.
Speaker A:You know, if you're struggling to see what God is doing, if you're struggling to see the way he sees or you're struggling to hear what he has to say, it says here, this is the way we see and the way that we hear.
Speaker A:Faith comes by hearing, by hearing the word of God, right?
Speaker A:Comes by hearing.
Speaker A:Faith comes when we hear, when we stir ourselves up, when we're around other believers, when we're in a good church, we're listening to teachings, when we're reading the Word of God, when we've got Christian worship music on, faith comes.
Speaker A:Faith is stirred up on the inside of us by hearing.
Speaker A:But, you know, sometimes we say this scripture all in one go.
Speaker A:Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God.
Speaker A:But it says no, it says, and faith, he says, faith comes by hearing.
Speaker A:And that means there's a separation.
Speaker A:And second thing, hearing by the word of God and hearing by the Word of God.
Speaker A:If we want to be able to hear God speaking to us, we need to read the Word of God.
Speaker A:If it's been a long time since you've heard God speak to you, read the Word of God.
Speaker A:When the more that we read the Word, the clearer our hearing the comes.
Speaker A:That doesn't go together in a natural sense.
Speaker A:But when we read, then we'll hear.
Speaker A:Because reading God's word opens up our spiritual hearing and our spiritual vision, right?
Speaker A:Faith comes.
Speaker A:That faith is the ability to see and hear what God is doing, what God is saying, right?
Speaker A:That spiritual side, it works.
Speaker A:That's right.
Speaker A:Robin says faith works by love.
Speaker A:The more we read God's love letters to.
Speaker A:To us, the more that we'll hear the heart of the Father and see his love for us and see his plans and his purposes and his vision play out in our life.
Speaker A:So I want to encourage you, get yourself on a Bible reading plan.
Speaker A:If this is something that you really struggle with, maybe you don't have a so much self discipline to read the word of God on a regular basis.
Speaker A:A Bible reading plan can help you with that.
Speaker A:And there's lots of different ones out there.
Speaker A:You know, our ministry has ones available that they can share.
Speaker A:You can email us infoerides.
Speaker A:We'd be happy to help you with that.
Speaker A:We have one that's available through our bootcamp program as well.
Speaker A:But right now I want to pray for you.
Speaker A:I want to pray for you.
Speaker A:Let's, let's just take a moment.
Speaker A:Father God, I just thank you for all of my brothers and sisters that that are hearing, that are watching, that are listening today.
Speaker A:Well, I thank you that you're with us in our moment right now.
Speaker A:In Jesus name, we speak over those of those physical problems and we command them to go.
Speaker A:In Jesus name, we command them to get out of here.
Speaker A:Lord, I thank you that you sent your word and you healed us, that there is healing power released through your word and signs and wonders follow the preaching of the word.
Speaker A:And right now we release that healing power in these bodies and in these minds.
Speaker A:In Christ Jesus.
Speaker A:I take authority over anxiety, that I see somebody.
Speaker A:You have taken anxiety medication for years.
Speaker A:Right now, in Jesus name, we command an end to that, to that cycle.
Speaker A:We command an end to that cycle of fear and anxiety.
Speaker A:We cut off the lies of the enemy.
Speaker A:In Jesus name, we declare over you that this sickness will not arise a second time, it will not arise a third time.
Speaker A:It does not have permission to remain and it does not have permission to return.
Speaker A:We cut off that power of negative suggestion.
Speaker A:I see somebody that you're constantly going for checkups and you know, they may be every six months, every year, whatever, but there's a constant reminder of the past, a constant, you know, waiting to see whether the enemy has returned.
Speaker A:Right now I just cut off the.
Speaker A:That the head of that fear.
Speaker A:In Jesus name.
Speaker A:And we say in authority, in Jesus name, no evidence of disease from found.
Speaker A:No evidence of disease found.
Speaker A:I see somebody being signed off.
