And we speak over um we speak over you uh Daniel u peace as well that uh that the the the peace and comfort of God would would wrap you and that hope would rise up in your heart. And I actually felt like the Lord wanted to speak to you about Johnny's future. Um, and even as you pray, like I felt like he was going to remove the pressure that you've um, maybe been feeling a little bit on when you're praying for Johnny. Um, and actually just have you with this sense of like hope and joy just saying like there's a a a gift of worship on your life. There's a a a gift to run after this like you're going to actually God's going to outline things that he's going to do. And I just saw you sharing them over him and hope coming in your heart. So >> yeah, and we just declare right now just a blood transfusion of Jesus's blood into Johnny's blood right now. Father, we thank you for Jesus's blood paying the price, washing away right now in Jesus name. We command every ounce of sickness out of this little boy's body.

We had such a fun morning at kids church, by the way. >> I have more prayer requests, but we talked about how Holy Spirit helps us do hard things. had a balloon and when the balloon was blown up, the balloon had destiny and purpose because it was filled with the Holy Spirit. It was just a really powerful morning just kids getting uh just set free and grace coming on. It was just a really and a lot of fun in worship. So, I'm praying same again for this service. It's going to be an amazing morning. There's a a testimony, a prayer request for uh Bey from Kevin >> about um mold toxicity, damage to the brain, dementia set in and hospice care said after you prayed two weeks ago, she has had two times when her leg straightened, her left foot straightened and um her back and neck. I'm not sure what that last bit, but we God, we thank you for what you've been doing already with Bethy. And right now um we declare every part of her body to respond to the gospel of Jesus. >> Yeah. I just I feel this is like a year of like I just I feel the the the the miracles we're about to see um increasing even online. And so God, I thank you um for what you've started and Bethy, we declare 100% in Jesus name. >> Yeah. So many people putting in prayer requests. We see Jamie putting in her mom got discharged, need to be able to swallow, take fluids right now. Linda praying for restoration. Joselyn praying for two brothers with cancer. Uh so many. So right now, if you're believing for a miracle, I want you just to hold out your hands like you're about to receive a gift. >> Yes. >> And you don't have to try to work something up. You don't have to try to, you know, pray the right things, have a huge thing of like faith or whatever like this. Jesus is the faithful one right now. Your job is just to rest and receive. And we want to pray for you and we want to believe for breakthrough that God comes suddenly right now and that there'd be suddenly moments right now. So, Father, right now, we just declare suddenly turnaround moments right now in people's bodies. Father, we thank you for pain leaving right now. We just declare the peace of God coming over people right now.

And we just de declare an eradication of all sickness, all disease, all pain right now. We just release grace and breakthrough. And father, we just thank you for reconciliation coming over family members right now. Father, we thank you for suddenly miracles right now in Jesus name. >> I also just as as we were sitting here um God just dropped put someone in my mind. His name's Artist Carter. He was one of our um alumni and a student here and he's been um recovering over the last few years from a a a very traumatic car accident. And I felt like the Lord um wanted us to pray for him. And then anyone in a similar situation that has been on a journey of recovery um and a a journey of um what's the word when you like rehabilitation of some in some capacity and um pray that the next 6 months would be marked by accelerated acceleration. Come on. >> I heard accelerated acceleration. For some of you, it's going to apply to even like business things and and finance and and dreams. But I felt like specifically um to pray for artist Carter and anyone in a sort of similar situation with rehabilitation. And so God, we thank you for artist right now. Uh we declare over him uh full healing in Jesus' name. God, we thank you for accelerated acceleration that there would be um things that Father, they taken months to get to and that they just start happening in seconds and hours and days. God, we thank you for an increase um every person that's going through some form of recovery that feels like it's taking a long time right now. We speak over you um supernatural rehabilitation um in the name of Jesus. And then that accelerated acceleration over some of you that started businesses like in the last few years, it's taken a long time to get there. And the next six months, there just going to be there's it's just going to feel like a momentum. So, we blessed you with that. >> Come on. Well, we love you guys. We're so excited that you're joining us uh today. And just a reminder, just be praying for people in the chat. It's our heart that we've come alongside you, partner with you, pray for you, be able to believe Jesus to get his full reward in you.

So, that's going to be really fun. Um we are uh at the beginning of a church fast today. Some of you came not knowing that you're a part of the church fast. Get ready. Just prepare your heart. Prepare your heart for that. ((music playing)) Uh my kids all know that the fast is coming. So, uh they were talking through what are they going to fast? ((music playing)) And um my son who I love and we we love him. But he last night he said I think I'm just going to eat potatoes. Just potatoes. And I thought well that that's a plan. You know that is a that's an option for you ((music playing)) to eat potatoes. I said why don't you why don't instead of just eating potatoes why don't you act give up your phone. Give your phone. He's like well I'm I'll think about that dad. I'll think about that uh and let you know. And then uh and then his other plan was uh I'm just going to eat meat. Just meat.

We we're at the we are at the start of something amazing uh this year. And we know that God's got good things for everyone uh this year in store. I woke up this morning just ((music playing)) with this thought and uh and I stole the thought actually. But, uh, just if you watching the news this weekend, there's listen, lots of things happening. Um, ((music playing)) it's it's, uh, it's unique and and all all the things I could probably say about that. And then I read the scripture that says, ((music playing)) you know, all those thoughts you think, God's thoughts aren't your thoughts. Then I realized, no matter what I'm thinking, I don't know that I'm thinking exactly like him, right? And that's okay. And then I thought about this this morning as I was in the shower this morning. Um, I thought about my mother-in-law and a message she spoke ((music playing)) before she passed away. And the message was simply this. She said she had this little globe and uh and she put the globe out and she said uh the ((music playing)) God's got all of this in the palm of his hand. All of this. And then she ((music playing)) said this statement and uh and I've seen it all over since she said it and I think a few people might have tattoos of it here ((music playing)) which is unique. Uh, but she said she said, "God's got this. God's ((music playing)) got this." Yes. >> Listen, this is where we're at. God's got this. And I want us ((music playing)) to head into 2026 with that in mind. That God's got this. That no matter what your 2025, right? That's the year we're we're going in. 26. Yes. No matter what your last year was, God's got you. ((music playing)) And he's got this. He's got great plans for you. He's He's a light ((music playing)) for you. He's going to light up the steps forward for you. That there is something special for you this year. And no matter what's happening around the world, we have come to actually worship the ((music playing)) Lord today. Yes. >> Yes. This is what we're about today. Worship the Lord. So, I just want to um I I want to just quickly say a ((music playing)) quick prayer and then you're around some amazing people and I want you to greet those people knowing this is who this is who we're going to worship together with this morning. Can we do that? ((music playing)) Lord, thank you that you have us in the palm of your hand. Lord, thank you that you know the plans that you have for ((music playing)) us, Lord, and you love us, Lord. Would you once again demonstrate your goodness to us, Lord, as we head ((music playing)) into a new year, Lord, may this be a prophetic statement, Lord. May our ((music playing)) worship be a prophetic statement to you, Father. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for what you did.

My whole world for you all everything ((music playing)) for the honor of your name. And if my days tell a story, ((music playing)) let it be of you everything. for the honor. I'll ((music playing)) just to honor your name and my whole life for your glory ((music playing)) only everything. ((music playing)) ((music playing)) Yeah. ((music playing)) Heat. ((music playing)) >> ((music playing)) >> Heat. Heat. ((music playing)) Heat. Heat. ((music playing)) ((music playing)) Heat. Heat. Heat. ((music playing)) Yeah. ((music playing)) Heat.

Oh, how I ((music playing)) love [singing] you, >> Jesus. I love you. Oh, how I love [music and singing] you. Yes, Lord. >> Oh, how I love ((music playing)) you, Jesus. [singing] I love you. >> On our way to church this morning, I was uh we ((music playing)) were in the car and uh my my two sons, they were having a conversation in the back and they were talking about uh King David and how he uh was in exile and how he was running from ((music playing)) King Saul. And and my oldest son, he was like, "Yeah, he was running for years." And and Kobe, my second, he was like, "Years? He he was running for years." And they're in the back seat and he's like, "Years? That's a long time." And I was thinking about that, the reality that David was running in exile and what kept him worship. the the man who would worship undignified that had started a long time ago. And I and I love our house because we have this core value that worship is our secret place. Worship is the place that we live from. ((music playing)) She gets it in the back. Can we all stand? I I I love I love David. There's so many stories about him, the psalms that he's written. And you know, there's ((music playing)) a scripture where he says, "I will look to the heels from which cometh my help for my help ((music playing)) comes from the Lord." In this year, I believe Bethl Church that we're going to be a church that looks to the heels from which cometh our help. that no circumstance, no situation ((music playing)) that's happening in the world, nothing on social media will dictate what we believe about who God is. But I believe that worship is the space that we're going to ((music playing)) live from. And so right now, before we pray for each other, I want everybody to just lift up your own voice ((music playing)) and begin to worship the Lord with your own song right now. Just begin to ((music playing)) lift up worship right now. Worthy, worthy. We've been singing worthy that we extol him. He's wonderful. He's magnificent. Oh, how worship changes you. Oh, how worship fixes ((music playing)) your attention and your gaze. Oh, we fix our gaze this morning, Lord. ((music playing)) Oh, we fix our gaze. Oh, we look to the hill from which cometh our help. Oh, you are worthy. You are worthy. Lift up your voice. Oh, you are worthy ((music playing)) of everything. You are highly exalted. There is no one above you. There is no one ((music playing)) before you. You are the alpha and omega. You are the ((music playing)) beginning and the end. There is no end to your government. You are loving ((music playing)) kindness. You are everlasting. You are who you say ((music playing)) you are. Worthy. Worthy. ((music playing)) ((music playing)) >> ((music playing)) ((music playing)) >> Heat. Heat. ((music playing)) Everything ((music playing)) ((music playing)) on you everything for ((music playing)) the day. My whole life. ((music playing)) Declare it. Declaring my whole life for you. Declare it. >> Everything ((music playing)) for the honor of your name. >> Declare it. Declare it over your family. [music and singing] >> Declare it. Declare it over your home. >> Everything for the honor of your name. >> Yes. >> My whole life >> for your glory. our whole world for you only ((music playing)) everything for the honor of your name. ((music playing)) And if [singing] my days tell a story, let it be of you. All [singing] everything for the ((music playing)) honor of your name. I want to do something. I want you to put a ((music playing)) hand on the person next to you. We are going to step into 2026 with boldness to approach the throne of grace to receive all that we need. You have all that you need for 2026. God is enough. God is enough. The allsufficient one. The one who was, who is, and is to come. the one who the earth is his foottool. Begin to pray for the person next to you that they will experience the God of abundance this year. That they would ((music playing)) experience no lack. Oh, that this would be the year that they would ((music playing)) experience the greatness of our God. Oh, we lift our eyes, just pray for the ((music playing)) person next to you, that their eyes would be lifted that no circumstance, no spiritual weapon that would be formed would prosper this year, that every ((music playing)) mountain would bow and be made low to the name of Jesus. The blood of Jesus is enough. Thank you. We bless ((music playing)) the person next to us. We bless them. Lord, ((music playing)) now put your hand on the person who needs it the most. ((music playing)) And I want you to say, "Jesus, I receive all that you have ((music playing)) for me this year. I receive all that you have for me this year. It will not be taken. It will be shaken. Pressed down and running over, overflow, overflow. Amen. >> Amen. Hallelujah. >> Hallelujah. ((music playing)) >> Hug somebody next to you and say, "This is your year." Thank you, worship team. Raise a hand if you got a seat next to you. All right. >> Thanks, Dante. Oh, man. Thank you, worship team. What a beautiful start to a new year. Happy new year, everybody. Good to see you.

Not even one cheer. It's offering time. [cheering and applause] >> [snorts] >> Um Lauren and I took a night away to Chico just to like get ready and prepare for the new year and as parents to spend time alone without the kids. Two very important things. And as we were spending some time together, she reminded me of this passage that the Lord had given her that I just feel like is is such a timely passage for the season that we're in. And it's Psalm 16 uh verse 6. It says that the lines have fallen for me in pleasant places. Indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance. The one of the most beautiful parts of this verse is this is when David is not king. He's not in abundance. He's not uh thriving a ton. This is actually when when David is uh in a season of his life where he's believing God for abundance in his life. He's believing God uh for an inheritance. And I just love that we get to declare and prophesy and speak into being the promises that God has spoken over our lives. And so as we're starting this new year, I feel like this is a great passage, a great verse for us for this new year. You guys with me? >> To begin to declare to those things in your life, know the the lines have fallen for me in pleasant places in this area. So you may have some lines, some some lines that you need moved. You may have some things in your life. The Lord has given me a great inheritance. And so that's what we're going to be declaring. Can we just do offering reading number two today and let's declare this verse. Maybe we should uh you guys should mark this in your Bibles this verse this week. All right. Here we go. As we receive today's offering, we are believing you for >> earth invaded storeh houses unlocked in miracles created dreams and visions. angelic visitations, declarations, impartations, and divine manifestations, anointings, giftings, and calls, positions, and promotions, provisions, and resources to go to the nations, souls, and more souls from every generation saved and set free, carrying kingdom revelation. Father, that as I join my value system to yours, you will show our favor, blessings, and increase upon me so I have more than enough to co- labor with heaven and see Jesus get his full reward. Hallelujah. ((applause)) >> Go ahead and just put your hand on your neighbor. Father, we thank you, Lord, that you have a a great inheritance for us, that we can trust you, Lord. that no matter what season, whether it's 2020 or 2025 or 26, Lord, that you are our father who cares for us, who loves us, who has set the boundary lines in pleasant places, Lord, that we have an inheritance and you that you are a father that we can count on. And today, Lord, even going into this fast, Lord, we just ask for a shift. We ask for favor. We ask for your blessings, Lord. We ask for your wisdom in this next season, Father. Amen. If this is not your home church, please don't put your tithe in here. But we will take everything above and beyond for sure. >> Let's welcome Haley Braun today, can we? [cheering and applause] >> Hello. ((applause)) Happy New Year. >> At Twin View, they were saying happy new year, Jesus. Josh Locker said he hadn't seen he said wished everyone else. Uh but aren't we so glad for a new year. It's so good to be with you. I am very excited that I get to speak with you this morning. Before we step into the message, I just wanted to highlight a couple things that we spoke about in church news and then some other things that we uh don't have in church news. With the start of a new year, we are launching something new. Do we have any junior highs? You're in sixth through eighth grade. Sixth, seventh, eighth graders. Do we have you in this room? Will you wave at me? Where my people at? >> Yes. Come on. I see you. Listen, when I was preparing this message and the Lord was talking to me about six years and then the seventh being fow, all I thought about was 67 cuz that's all my anytime anything is and my mother-in-law is 67 and my kids don't let her get away with it, you know. Sorry mom, I just gave away your age. Um, but for my junior highs, we have noticed that we have a lot of junior highs actually at this service and that you're hungry for the Lord. We've watched you worship and go after God. And so, uh, we're going to start something new starting next week, Sunday. Uh, we are going to start a disciplehip group with our junior higher age group. Um, and so, junior highs will be in here for worship with us. And then after worship, our young saints team uh has a disciplehip group that they're starting. They'll help you exit through those doors and we'll give you all those directions. But bring your Bibles, bring your notebooks. Um, you'll be in with us for worship and then when we preach, you guys can head out there. No one's going to force you. If you like being in the big room, you are welcome to stay. But we really believe that the Lord is um wanting to invest in this generation. The words are over this generation and and even the the the words about this generation knowing the word of God. And so uh that'll be running from next week until about May. And then you will take a break over summer and you'll be back with us in the room over summer for long enough for you to tell us you want to go back for September uh when we'll start another disciplehip uh round starting September until we go into the holidays for Thanksgiving. Does that sound good? >> Um then the second thing I just wanted to highlight our some of our equip classes. This week we have prophesy your year with Lindsay Ryman happening on January 6th. Um it's a one-time class. It's not an equip class. It's just a a class where she will lead you through just hearing the Lord's voice over this next year. And then we have a QR code up there for our equip classes which will start the following week. We're going to try something a little new. We'll see how it goes. Bethl is a big ship. I don't know about you, but I work here and sometimes I walk past the rooms and I'm like, what is happening in that room? Like how do you get in there? Like who are those? You know, like sometimes the glory of God is showing up and I'm like, well, I guess I'm staffed. I'll just sneak in. Uh but our heart is to just get our equip classes a little bit more synced up. And so we are starting all of our equip classes on the same week. And uh hallelujah. Uh I know that there'll be some stragglers. I'm telling you, we're going to have to fish some out of the pond. But uh and those equip classes starting next Tuesday. Um we have uh Brave Communication by yours truly, Dan Fairley, uh who'll be teaching on Brave Communication. We have uh a class about Donna Dilva is teaching on the spiritual realm. Um we have another class I wanted to highlight which was divine encounters through prayer encountering God through prayer which is uh Dave Harvey and Ben Armstrong. And then women hava asked me she even sent me a blurb to announce to you we are doing the women's bible study that we've done for the last couple years except it's a brand new study. So on Tuesday nights we have uh it's not child care. There's actually classes for kids where the kids get to experience church while you're in in your equip classes. And so for the first three weeks starting um January 13th, there'll be an annual women's Bible study that's happening and it's on have a look at this. I do feelings. It's for women who already feel deeply. Hallelujah. But want a healthy, grounded, spirit-led way to carry it. It reframes emotions not at as flaws to overcome, but as spiritual signals God wants us to steward. Um, and so there'll be about 25 trained table leaders. You'll be in tables going through this for three weeks. Hava says, "Bring your mothers. Bring your daughters." She didn't say sisters, but bring your sisters, your co-workers, just not your dog. Um, and come, that was a joke. You can laugh at me with me. One of the two. Uh, come as you are. There is a registration link for those classes. It would especially help us if you could register for those women's classes. uh because we want to make sure we have enough uh children's church workers for all of you who are going to bring your kids. Um and then lastly but not least, Jay Valatin is not doing his equip class on Tuesday. So all the moms can show up on Tuesday so that the husbands can show up on Wednesday and uh Jay Valatin on Wednesday night will be doing a it says four weeks and five weeks on the So you will find out God is being prophetic. You will find out on week one how many weeks you're signing up for. but it's a class for husbands. Um, and so we're excited for that. And that is the end of my 2026 announcement. Hallelujah. Uh, we're very excited about this year. I was um, obviously I get the privilege of speaking into the house as we go into the fast. And, um, to be quite honest, I had a little bit of a time preparing for this sermon. Um, I was doing all the ninja that I could in the spirit to try and find out where the Lord wanted to anchor me in. And I used to have these like panic moments when I'd prepare and then I would just get more and more scriptures cuz somehow it made me feel more valid or something. Uh, which the scripture speaks for itself much better than my words. But um, I noticed I was trying to order all these scriptures and I was a little bit panicked internally because when you speak at Bethl you have to speak four times in a row. And if you don't have it really laid out, you can't remember what you've said. By this service, you're like, I don't know what I said, what I thought, what I processed with my husband. Who knows? Um, and I, as I was going to bed last night, I I was kind of like, "Okay, Lord, I I would really love a dream. Like, it would be great, you know, come if I don't have everything organized, I can come with a dream." And I had pizza dreams. Completely useless uh dreams. Um, just so you know, there's no dream coming. Uh, but as I was going to bed, I know, sorry, someone someone else had a dream that's prophetic. I'm telling you, it's in this room, just not me. And uh, as I went to bed, I felt the Lord just prompt my heart to say, "Haley, I'm not asking you to construct the perfect message on a fast. I'm I'm coming to undo you." >> And um, and immediately I just I could feel the presence of the Lord. And there's a message burning in me. Does that make sense? like there's there's so much burning in me, but I couldn't construct it to this beautiful package. And I felt the Lord just begin to speak to me about there's things in this room that we burn for. >> There's things that we are deeply desiring to see the Lord do. And uh you know, with every new year, we we jump on an Instagram and we do a new year, what's the Lord saying? And when I got onto Instagram right before, I was like, I don't have like a big 2026 word. And I was so relieved to find out no one on our team actually had a big 2026 word because I don't think God always moves with the Gregorian calendar, you know, like, oh, yay, it's January 1st, 2026. Oh, the people need a, you know, I I I really think we are in the Thanks, Chris. That was very encouraging. that I love this place so much. I really believe we're in the word about the new era. >> And I don't think that there is like we released the new era. I think it was 2023 20 somewhere around there and then it was like okay and it's done. Like I actually believe we are in this place where we've put our feet into the new era but I don't think we know half of what it is yet. Amen. >> And um I I was praying into my year and the Lord took me to Leviticus 25. See, in on January 14th, I'll be celebrating six years since the Lord touched me so powerfully. A message that I've spent the last six years preaching and sharing. And the Lord took me to the scripture about letting the ground layow in the seventh year. And I felt that the Lord was actually speaking to us as a community about some things that have been really valuable in the last season. Some things that we've invested and swn in in this fast. He's asking us to let some things lieow. And as I prayed into that, I I felt the Lord say that there's people in this room uh where you have felt the last few months there's been an agitation in the regular rhythm. I felt it over your homes, your businesses that some of you had been feeling like there had been things that you'd been doing for the last few years that had really worked and it had been fruitful and wonderful or or maybe in your job or your home and and it' been wonderful, but all of a sudden there's this like agitation and maybe it wasn't producing the same amount of fruit as it used to. >> Maybe it wasn't producing it. And uh this isn't a a rebuke. Kagi one though talks about like when you sew and you don't receive fruit, he says it's because you're not building my house. >> And I feel like what the Lord is drawing us into as a body is to let some things lieow so we can hear what he's wanting to build. And I I really um sense that this fast for some of us will be a week, but for others of us there'll be things that we will let beow for the month of January. There'll be things that we'll actually say, "Lord, I am going to let that field sit for a bit and I'm going to see what comes up." Cuz what I sense is there's things under the surface within us that we have not seen shoot forth yet because it's covered by other work. >> When Bill released the word about 12 months of answered prayer, I said, "Lord, how do I partner with this word?" And he said, "I want you to pray prayers you don't know how to pray. >> [laughter] >> Okay. What prayers Lord don't I know how to pray? He said it's the deep longings that my spirit has given you that sometimes you avoid because hunger feels empty. Desire feels that something I can't fulfill and it feels vulnerable to pray things you don't know how to pray. >> And as I sat with the Lord I realized I I want a visitation. like there's something inside of me and I don't know how to pray for that. I noticed I started praying because I was trying to do what the Lord said you pray things you so I Lord I want to meet with you like Moses Lord I want to I want to see your glory and then I went to but Lord I don't need that to serve you or follow you God cuz I'm with you. And I just realized was this like clunky human holy spirit mixture of something prayer that I couldn't quite get out. And I began to realize the Lord's like cuz I want to teach you how to pray for the thing you desire cuz I put it inside of you. >> I want to teach you about depths of me about things in my heart that you cannot seek out on your own. Are you with me? >> And it reminded me of, you know, the Israelites. We talk about a new era about apprehending promise. [snorts] and the Israelites to step into the new era. You know, it started off with Joshua, my servant Moses is dead. >> The old season is done. >> And he had to rely that that tent of meeting that he had sat in had been sufficient for what he was about to lead the people to. And they go across the Jordan. And the interesting thing about the wilderness is listen, I I no one loves the wilderness. I don't want to be in the wilderness. I'm glad to be out of the wilderness. Uh but the interesting thing about leaving the wilderness is for all the challenges that the wilderness has, God really babysits you in the wilderness. >> He does. >> You get mana, you get quail. There's no food in the wilderness, so you're not going to eat if he doesn't. God provides. You know, we just got back from we were at Upper Room at the end of year in Dallas, and my 5-year-old uh got home, and he was tired. We had slept like four hours the night before to get home. When your kids are tired, their emotions come forcefully out of their beings. And a good parent in that moment moves towards your kids. Sometimes you want to move away, but mostly you move towards and then you start taking care of things that they need taken care of. I don't know if you're doing it for your sake or their sake, but for both sake, you know what I mean? And you know, like I offer to brush their teeth or and when I do brush their teeth, I sing our South African national anthem because I'm trying to teach them how to how to sing in closer. And uh and God does the same with the Israelites. He's doing a cloud by day, fire by night. And when they crossed over that Jordan into Gilgal, the land of corn and fruit, they had to learn again how to go and find food. The food was available. It was there, but they had to learn how to cultivate food again, how to go and pick fruit. If they if they were waiting for mana to show up, they would have starved. And I the Lord began to speak to me about this season of fasting and that we're not fasting to to strive to perform for something, but we're fasting to set aside to make room for God to speak. Amen. >> We're fasting and we're putting things that have maybe covered over the crop and the seed that God has deposited so we can see what are you doing in me, God? What are you saying to me, Lord? And there's been so many prophetic words about this new era about a glory, a greater glory, a hagi too, the the glory on the latter house will be greater than the former. How many of have heard that word about a revival over Gen Z? About a move of God spirit, wave to me. There's not enough of you waving cuz you've heard it. >> Maybe you haven't. Now you're hearing it for the first time. There is like everywhere I turn >> this word about a move of God's spirit. We've been living off of the revivals in the '9s, the momentum. We've seen so much fruit and there's a sense that there is more. >> But I feel like the Lord is like to obtain the more, we need to make room for him to build us as his house. and um Hagi 2 where it talks about this this glory. It it's really the glory that he says is going to fill the house that Zerubbable builds is the is is the returning of Jesus to the temple. But we know that Jesus didn't just stop at filling the temple that Zerubbabel built. That Jesus was crucified, resurrected, glorified and from that place he released his spirit to make us his temple. So if you want to open with me to Romans 8 whiskey, I've been reading a book um on Rhys Hows called The Intercessor and Rhys Hows talks about that he had a revelation of the crucified Christ but when he had a revelation of the glorified Christ was when everything changed for him. >> And we need all of it, right? >> We need a if you in Revelation where it talks about who's going to open the scroll and break the seal, it is the crucifformed lamb. It's the crucified lamb that we see. So, we don't move from that. But it's that understanding that God didn't stay on earth. That there is a glory for his church. >> Are you with me? You're quiet. Are you listening? >> Okay. Sometimes I wonder if you're bored. That's what I'm worried about. >> I saw this vision of the eyes of Jesus as I drove to church this morning burning like fire. And I saw these swords of of accusation that has been coming at believers. I even saw believers carrying their own swords of accusation coming at each other. I saw in a revelation of the glorified Christ in his eyes those swords being beat Isaiah 2:4 into pruning hooks. >> See, because our theme is the harvest. >> And now we could preach a message on it's the harvest. Souls. God wants souls. Go preach the gospel. But I realize in this moment that the the form to follow is not going to be sufficient for the momentum needed. that for us to be gripped with the gospel, we have to be gripped with Christ. >> That I feel like this fast, the Lord is wanting to undo us. I think that I feel like there's this vulnerability of prayer and intercession that the Lord wants us to enter into the willingness to be undone by God so that we can behold him. Because when we behold him, we begin to ache for what he aches for. And I noticed this about myself. Uh I was at a conference in November and um this conference was so powerful. It was with Corey Russell and I was reading the scripture. I believe it's in Hebrews 12 where it talks about see that you do not drift away from this gospel. Every when I speak about the gospel, every single one of you bar maybe a couple have heard the gospel, right? It almost becomes we we hear it so much that it can become like just like another word like and then or but the gospel is the daily bread of the believer. >> And the gospel when it's living and active, when the word of God is living and active in our life, when the Holy Spirit is magnifying what Christ has done for us, it is the lifeblood and the momentum of the believer. But what happens sometimes is through circumstances and challenges that we we drift a little bit away from the edgginess of the gospel. >> Are we okay? We drift away from and I'm I'm noticing in culture a little bit there's there's created this humanistic thinking around things Jesus has paid for. And I was sitting in this conference and I I could see my boat was anchored into the gospel. But I saw in the spirit that had it just drifted a couple feet, just a couple feet from the edge. You see, I live hungry for God, but sometimes I feel crazy. I I live provoked for a generation, but sometimes I feel like, am I just like a, you know, like a big fiery fireball of craziness? And I said to the Lord, I said, "Lord, what is this?" And uh I said somehow I felt like I needed permission to believe what you've spoken to me. Like I've slowly drifted just a couple of feet to easier water to less contentious places. The message of faith will frustrate the message of logic. >> The message of miraculous healing will violate the message of process. The message of miracles will agitate the message of self-acceptance. We cannot raise our people on a diet of boiled chicken and rice, but upset stomachs can only receive bland food. Rich delicacies will agitate a body where a virus thrives. I'm Is this okay? That's good. >> The spirit of pride looks over its nose from its high horse and criticizes, >> summising it knows how to do better, do it cleaner or more dignified. But [snorts] it will never give itself to the undoneess and vulnerability it requires to know a drop of the kind of presence and power available to those who will truly surrender. >> Pride and arrogance positions itself as the source. They are their only god only surrendering to its own opinion and mocking and slandering every other thought because they own the corner market on truth. But their compass is broken only pointing to self. Self cannot deliver. Self cannot free. Self cannot know depths. Self cannot govern nor discern spirit and flesh. The tangled mess of the created being. It is the tangled mess of the created being that thinks it knows its purpose outside of the greatness of its maker. >> [snorts] >> Surrender looks messy. It's the picture of the infinite and finite meeting. It's the image of an unworthy vessel being made worthy by the DNA of their God washing over theirs and then filled with the most costly glory that they could never earn, purchase, or possess for themselves, but they freely are given by grace. Jesus breathing on his disciples. I could only see that maybe a little bit of his DNA came out at that moment. He mixed spit with dirt to heal the blind man. Jesus anointed was anointed with tears and he washed us in his blood. How vulnerable and organic this king meets us. But the accuser is a sterile gospel. >> There's [snorts] no bug or creature organism that can live on the surface of accusation. The enemy wants to exterminate the life on the surface of our life, lest the love of God goes deep enough to impact us and change us forever. >> Once gripped on the inside, the enemy will now try sterilize us to prevent multiplication. >> But it's proximity to God that will get you into earshot of breath, spit, blood, and sweat. And then it becomes heart, emotion, care, character, change, transformation, and metamorphosis. [sighs and gasps] >> Prayer is not a moment, but it is the lifeblood of a believer stepping into communion with God, recognizing it is the only way because he is the only source. Prayer focuses my attention and my affection to the one who gives all of his attention and all of his affection to me. >> The intercessor's calling is the cry of Exodus 33:11. Show me your glory. Faith stands on revelation. So maybe we should pray until we see. You see, I believe that there is a revelation of the gospel of Jesus that is coming. It has come and it will continue. >> My concern and I was a little nervous today like I was swinging a bit of a bat. No notes today, just an overflow of my heart. My concern is that we as the church received the gospel but have drifted a couple feet from the power of its provocation. >> Sat on a plane with a man on the way back from Dallas and he had his AirPods in. Didn't look like he wanted to talk so much. But at some point everyone has to go to the bathroom. And on my way back to my seat, squeezing past his knees, he had just also uh gotten to the bathroom as well. And so his AirPods were out. I turned and said, "Hello." Began to talk to him, ask him where he's going, what he's doing. And uh I said, "Ah, I don't know if he asked me. Actually, he may have asked me, but either way, I was going to tell him. I just came back from a conference where I saw thousands of young people, thousands hungry after God ringing in the new year. And he said, "Oh, I've just started going to church." I said, "You have?" "What church?" No clue. Doesn't know which church? Cuz I came to find out that this man didn't grow up in a Christian household. Never read the Bible. Doesn't know any of the language or the power or the or the words that we carry. He's he's just learning. He's not even sure if he wants Christianity yet. He went through the 12step program a few years ago and started noticing some of the language of the 12step program sounded like the language that he was hearing from Christians. We started talking started talking about why Christianity. I was like why you know just asking some questions because he wasn't asking me any. Why [snorts] Christianity? He said I'm not sure why. He said I guess it's because of kind people like you. And then I began to talk to him about why I believe in Christianity. Because every other religion says that I have to chase God, that I have to strive and try cuz I'm never going to be good enough. Every other religion is a dead God trying to have me prove my way to another level. But Christianity, God came to man. Christianity, God puts on flesh and temptation and struggle and hurt and pain and he doesn't fall. But he stands in our place and says, "Now that you HAVE SUCH A HIGH PRIEST THAT EMPATHIZES WITH YOUR WEAKNESS, NOW boldly come to the throne of grace." >> You see, there is an awakening for us. And Romans 8 starts with this. There is now. South Africa, we have just now and we have now. Now just now is somewhere between now and 6 p.m. I'll see you just now. It could be in 3 weeks for some people with a very elongated sense of time. What I want to KNOW IS ARE YOU coming now? Now now because now now means now now. The two nows mean really now. And Paul here is saying now now. There is now. Now, not one day, someday when you figure it out, when you clean yourself up enough, when you figure out your your stuff enough or you feel more free. No. No. Now. Now. If you need now, no condemnation, I just want to invite you just to wave your hands now. There is no condemnation. Some of you have been sitting under a ceiling of condemnation. AND THE LORD SAYS NOW NOW THERE IS no condemnation for who? >> For those who are in >> for it's in him. Acts 17:28 that we live and move and have our being. >> John 15 remain in me and I in you. Many times as believers, WE THINK ABOUT HIM filling me, but we don't recognize the infilling of me allows me to hide in him. And yes, he was crucified, and yes, he was resurrected, but he has now been glorified. And my in position in him sets me in a glorified place, seated. >> I'm I'm excited. I'm going to swing today. I'm going to swing because I feel the Holy Spirit. I feel this wooing [laughter] >> for [snorts] the law of the spirit of life has set you free [snorts] >> in Christ from the law of sin and death. For God has done what the law weakened by the flesh could not do by sending his son in the likeness of sinful flesh. And for sin he condemned sin in the flesh in order that the righteous requirement of the law may be fulfilled in us who walk not. Could I get a Kleenex? Is that okay? Who walk not according to the But according to the >> spirit. >> For those who live according to the flesh set their minds. That means purpose, will, intention. See this word for flesh here, it's it's it's not depravity. It's it's a neutral word. It's human creation that can be swung by what spirit it's influenced by. See, but many times with the enemy, we have these moments with God, our salvation, our encounters. We have these moments with God where we meet him and we feel alive in the spirit like the disciples did when they said, "Where will we go? You are the only one that speaks life." They felt the life of the Holy Spirit breathing on them as Jesus spoke and prophesied and declared and fulfilled. >> Yes. But through the challenges of life would be pulled from these words, begin to quarrel and squabble sometimes among themselves. Half the times because they didn't understand what Jesus was meaning. [snorts] But we haven't been given the spirit of the law. We have been given the spirit of God. And I I I cannot help but feel the provoking of God calling the church to come up here. Lift up your eyes >> for the harvest is white. >> The preoccupation with self in the world is drawing our eyes down. And this this fast, I believe, is the setting aside. It's the setting aside of the things that want to pull my attention and my affection so that I can lift up my eyes and firstly see the door in heaven is open. And secondly, see that he who made a way for me is making a way for the lost, broken, sick, dying, and needy of the world. >> You see, no rhetoric is going to provoke us enough off of comfort, off of the couch of comfort. That's what I was going to say. but the provocation of the love of God dwelling in our hearts >> as we begin to taste the riches of the wealth of our glorious inheritance and realize there is too much here for one man to eat >> been talking a lot about abundance. It's when we taste of him when we see him. If faith comes by revelation, surely it's time to pray until we see. [laughter] I want to see. I want to see his eyes of fire. There's nothing that will bend my my my spear that I want to point in accusation when I'm living disconnected. There's nothing that will bend it, but his eyes of fire when I see it will begin to mold me into a harvester. >> Oh. For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the spirit, we set our minds. This January, we're setting our minds. We're setting our will. We're setting our purpose. We're setting our attention. Lord, I don't know how to do this fully or 100%, but I know you are my helper. You are my very present help in time of need. You are my rock. You are my salvation. You speak the words of life and I AM POSITIONING MYSELF AS ONE WHO IS FREE WITH NO condemnation saying Lord here I am. >> I want to see. I want to know. >> Lord you know my covenant is with you till the day I cross into eternity. I will I will live connected and communing with you. But God I know there is more. And I will not LIVE ON THE SCRAPS OF AN orphan because I am a son or a daughter >> called to bring the orphans into a kingdom of a father who loves them, who sees them. >> Inner peace does not come from having the things I want. >> Hollywood would be the most peaceful place on earth. We are coming to buy things that money cannot buy. We're saying, Lord, there are things available in you that money, time, wealth, wisdom of this world could not buy. But Lord, you the riches of your glorious inheritance. I'm coming after you, God. >> There's an inheritance in the saints. I asked the worship team if they would. Are you good to come and help me? Thank you. >> Are we going to pray in a second? Verse [snorts] 14. For all who are led by the spirit are sons, daughters of God. Woo. Say, I'm a child of God. Oh, I'm say I'm a son. I'm a daughter. Whichever one you are, just pick one. For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear. You did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back >> into fear. >> You did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear. >> Talk to us. >> All of our sin and rebellion is founded in one thing. It's fear. >> There's two options. Love and fear. Ephesians 3 rooted and grounded in his love. Any area in our lives that is under the guise of fear of rebellion, sin is connected to fear. And the Lord did not give us a spirit of fear, but he gave us a spirit of love, power, and a sound mind. >> But it's that abiding. It's that allowing the spirit of God to lead me, to woo me, to guide me, to provoke me, to discipline me, to bring me to the place where I stand under the waterfall of grace and I receive. >> I receive. Sometimes we are so married to our process, we forget that there is a river. We are so married to the long windy road of selfhelp that we have forgotten there is a river. There was a man clothed IN FLESH, A GOD MAN, FULLY GOD, FULLY MAN WHO CAME AND STOOD in the segue of life and DEATH AND STRETCHED HIS ARMS AND HE SAID, "NOW THERE IS NO CONDEMNATION FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE IN CHRIST JESUS. >> And I will not LEAVE YOU AS ORPHANS. I WILL COME TO YOU AND I WILL FILL YOU AND I WILL BAPTIZE YOU. and I WILL COVER YOUR HEARTS and your minds. And while the world wages war against you, I will give you peace. >> Peace. This young man sat on the plane with me. He said, "I'm just looking for peace." I said, "Sir, I have great news for you. Peace is a person. And if you want to invite peace, you can invite him to come and live in your heart. And ((music playing)) if you let him be Lord and Savior and healer, he will make his home in you. ((music playing)) And it's a peace that the world cannot give and the world cannot take away. And now may the God of peace guard our hearts and our minds. [snorts] Yes, we're fasting for breakthrough, ((music playing)) but I believe we as a house, we are a apostolic house called to house the nations, >> to restore the broken, ((music playing)) >> to give sight to the blind. The spirit of pride can look over its nose and say what it wants cuz I'm going to be filled. ((music playing)) I'm going to be filled with the love of Christ. Verse [snorts] 22. ((music playing)) For we know that the whole creation ((music playing)) has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until now. And not only creation, but we ((music playing)) ourselves who have the first fruits of the spirit grown. We grant inwardly as we eagerly await our adoption. Verse [snorts] 26. Likewise, the spirit the spirit helps us in our weakness. We're not inviting you to fast because of how good you are at praying. [snorts] We're not doing a fast because it's the first of the year and it sounds like a good plan. We're fasting because we're a family who believes that God wants to meet us. God wants to speak to us. You might come into those rooms and be like, "I don't know how to do this." Great news. Me neither. Hungry. I want to pray prayers I don't know how to pray. I want to long for things I don't know how to make happen. I I want to put my faith in the forefront of my life. And I want to say, "God, I want to see you." Cuz when I see you, it's when everything comes into alignment. And there's a world out there that's dying, Lord. And half the time I'm numb to it, God. But Lord, WHEN I SEE YOUR EYES ON FIRE, I become awoken to what you are doing. You see, in this new era, things seem small right now. We're at the ankle deep, maybe, or the knee deep. But there's coming a time where this river runs so fast and so deep that all we're going to be able to do is get caught up in the flow. [snorts] But I want to steward it well, Lord, what you're doing because I am in need. Woo. Undo me, God. Undo us, Lord. For all the ways, God, that you have honored and blessed this house, Lord. Lord, we we know that there is only one way. There is only one man that we serve and his name is Jesus Christ. And you are worth Lord all of our inhibitions. Lord, you are worth being vulnerable cuz God, we want to get into proximity of sweat and spit and blood cuz we want to get covered. Oh, [snorts] I will give you sav so that you can see. Oh, Jesus put ((music playing)) spit in a man's eyes so he could see. Are we willing to then get that close to Jesus or do we want sterile sound for hours? No, I want the spit of God. I know that sounds wild. [snorts] But Lord, you're not afraid of the human organic devotion. You long for it. Oh God. Oh help us, Lord. Oh help us, Lord. >> [snorts] [sighs and gasps] >> for the spirit. He groans. He groans and intercedes with sounds and longings too deep for words. And he who searches hearts knows what is in the mind of the spirit because the spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. You say, "I want to know your will, God. I want to know your will. [snorts] Would you stand with me? I want to pray. I know I'm wild and fiery. I'm quite funny in ((music playing)) person, actually. I think what ((music playing)) I I'm feeling, my hope is that there's people in this room that God stirs you, but maybe you feel like you hold back. I I feel like the Lord is wanting to break some people out of smallalness, ((music playing)) feeling insignificant. Isaiah 61 says, "The spirit of the Lord God is ((music playing)) upon you, for he has anointed you, Aubrey. He has anointed you, Aubrey. He has anointed ((music playing)) you, Aubrey." Diego, will you just put your hand on her? He has anointed you, Aubrey. He ((music playing)) has anointed you. Mary and Greg Tims, the spirit of the Lord God is upon you, for he has anointed you to proclaim sight ((music playing)) to the blind, freedom to the captives to put a garland of praise and glory where there has been pain and grief in people's lives. As fathers and mothers, ((music playing)) he has anointed you. He has anointed you. ((music playing)) That hunger you feel, that desire that rises up, that's not you. That's God saying, "Come to me all who have no B money. Come buy and eat." That that burning that you have, that feeling that my life could be bigger than I think. It could be for a greater purpose. It's the purpose OF BRINGING THE LOST INTO THE HOUSE OF loving the broken and seeing them restored. That is the provoking of the heart of God. I want to see you, Lord. I want to see. I want to see. Would you just put your hands in front of YOU ON YOUR HEART? Raise them. Whatever feels good. God, I want to see. And I want to invite you right now. Just begin to pray. Begin to ask the Lord. Lord, what do you what do you want from me? Maybe there's a cry in your heart that you need to let out. Every single service so far, there have been women that have been set free. There have been women that have been set free from fear. And I believe the Lord is doing it again. Lord, stir the waters. Would you begin to pray with me, church? If if you don't have words yet, just start in the spirit or a hum or a sound. Just begin to engage your spirit. Lord, I want to know you. I want to see you. >> I want to see you. >> I'm hungry for you, Jesus. >> I want to see [singing] you. >> Open the ((music playing)) eyes of my heart, Lord. Open the eyes [singing] of my ((music playing)) heart. >> Oh, I want to see. [singing] >> Thank you, Lord. >> I want [singing] to see you just ((music playing)) as you are, Lord. >> Open the eyes [music and singing] of my heart, Lord. Open the eyes [music and singing] of my heart. >> I want to see ((music playing)) you. >> I want to see all of your glory, Lord. I want to ((music playing)) see you. >> John, do you mind just laying your hands on that young man over there? ((music playing)) >> See you high [singing] and lift it up. >> Come Holy Spirit. Come Holy Spirit. shining in the light. >> We ask for a spirit of prayer right now, Lord, a spirit of intercession. >> We ask that you would grip us, Lord, >> with your heart as we ((music playing)) sing, [singing] holy, holy. Oh, the song of this side and that side of eternity is holy, holy. I want to see you, Lord. ((music playing)) I want to see you God >> just shining in the light of your [singing] glory. Come pour ((music playing)) out your love and love as we ((music playing)) sing holy, >> holy, [singing] holy. Make us holy like you are holy Lord. ((music playing)) Make us holy like you are holy. >> Set us apart Lord. Holy, [music and singing] holy, holy, >> come Holy Spirit. >> Holy, ((music playing)) holy. >> Some of you receive. You feel that fire. Just receive it right now. Take it. I receive it Lord. I receive that fire for myself Lord. >> Glorious. ((music playing)) I want to see. Holy, [singing] holy, holy ((music playing)) Jesus. You're holy, [singing] holy, ((music playing)) holy. [singing] ((music playing)) receive. >> Just keep receiving. ((music playing)) If you're in this room today and you do not know Jesus as your Lord and Savior, if you do not know freedom from shame, freedom from the weight of sin, if you don't know what it feels like to live with no condemnation, maybe you have wandered from the Lord, maybe you're living disconnected from him today. The Lord says, "I am the God of your salvation. ((music playing)) I'm the God of your salvation." If you want to receive him today as the God of your salvation, as your savior, would you just raise your hand right now? ((music playing)) We want to pray with you. Thank you, Holy Spirit. Online, JUST PUT IN THE CHAT, I need God. >> If that is you, just raise your hand. I see the hand. Thank you, Lord. ((music playing)) >> Thank you, Jesus. >> Thank you, Jesus. ((music playing)) >> Just pray with me all of you. Jesus, >> I receive you as my salvation. I receive your blood. ((music playing)) >> Come and wash over me. Make me clean. Set my feet on a rock. >> I give myself to you today, Jesus. ((music playing)) Shining [singing] in the light of your ((music playing)) glory. Come and shine your face on your people, Lord. for you forever ((music playing)) >> as [singing] we sing holy. Just put your hand on your neighbor as we sing this. ((music playing)) >> Thank you, Lord. >> Sing you high [singing] and lifted up. You are ((music playing)) shining in [singing] the light of your glory. Come ((music playing)) and pour out [singing] your power. >> Pour out your power, God. Pour out your love. ((music playing)) >> Pour out the love of the holy, holy God into our hearts, Lord. Oh, >> pour ((music playing)) out your [singing] power. Pour it out on this church, on this house. ((music playing)) >> Beyond ((music playing)) your kind and love [singing] as we sing. ((music playing)) >> Just sing one more time. To see you high and lifted up. >> To see ((music playing)) you high and lifted up. >> ((music playing)) >> Oh, shine in the light of your glory. Come and ((music playing)) pour out your power today as we sing [singing] holy, holy, holy. ((music playing)) >> Thank you, Lord. Just take a minute now just with the people around you. I just want you to pray just for a minute. Just pray. Let the words of your heart just flow. Holy Spirit, come. Just begin to pray for the longing of your heart. Pray for your friends. Pray for a spirit of intercession, for eyes to see, ears to hear. Pray for God to touch families, ((music playing)) MARRIAGES. PRAY FOR GOD TO TOUCH INDIVIDUALS. Pray for him to mark them with his glory ((music playing)) to stir their hearts. ((music playing)) Consecrated lives. ((music playing)) Church, just one moment. I want you to pray with authority. I want you to pick up that authority. I want you to pray. I know you're receiving. I know you're receiving. Continue to receive. ((music playing)) We ask for more. >> ((music playing)) >> We thank you for good news, good news, good news. Just a ((music playing)) moment longer. Let's linger thanking God that the stone that the ((music playing)) builders rejected is our chief cornerstone. That we can come and fall on his feet. Fall on solid ground again. Fall where there's certainty. That we are loved. That we are known. That we are cherished. The altar is open. There are people already ((music playing)) here. But if you know you want to fall on the rock, come forward and fall on the one who will never fail, who will never leave you, who will ((music playing)) never forsake you, who never sleeps, who's never slack in his promises, who doesn't have a supervisor that he checks in with. He loves us. He loves us. He loves us. He loves us. He loves us. He loves us. He loves us. And for a few moments longer, we get to bask in that glorious love. Thank you, God. Thank you, God, for loving us. Thank you for setting us on solid ground ((music playing)) in Jesus. Thank you, Lord. [laughter and gasps] Thank you, God. Thank you, God. Ministry team, there are those that need ministry. Just come forward and begin laying hands. Just come forward and begin partnering with what Holy Spirit is ((music playing)) doing. There's breakthrough in the room. And if you want that breakthrough, come forward. Come forward and receive. [laughter] Come forward and receive what God is pouring out today. We thank you for good news. Good news. Good news. This is good news. that everything we carry as a burden, he takes and it is light. That every need we have, he supplies in abundance. This is good news. This is good news. [gasps] Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. Oh, thank you. I'm not even going to close the service, and I don't know if you even need that. What you need is one last word with the Lord. So before you leave, I'm trusting ((music playing)) you to connect to him. To say thank you for the year. To say God, I'm with you for the year. To say Lord, I give you the first fruits ((music playing)) of my year. Whatever it is, I'm going to let the worship team just continue to minister. And that's how we're going to close the service. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. ((music playing)) It's so beautiful how the Lord is moving ((music playing)) um here in the sanctuary right now. And we're just praying. and we want to spend a moment and pray over you, that the Lord would continue to to ((music playing)) touch you, to meet with you, that this morning as we're kicking off our fast together, ((music playing)) um that this would actually mark a week where you get to meet powerfully with the Lord, that that spirit of intercession that we were praying for, that peace, that awareness that Holy Spirit is with us ((music playing)) and um a reawakening of first love would be ignited and released. over you ((music playing)) in the name of Jesus. God, I thank you um for every family, every individual represented that their home, their car, their work ((music playing)) um that that would just be filled with your presence. >> Yeah. >> I feel like the Lord there's going ((music playing)) to be an ease of meeting with God this week. Like God he's he's like, "I'm so here. I'm ready. My arms are open. Ready to meet with you." So we bless you. We bless you. We bless you. >> Yeah. Come on. ((music playing)) And if you're wanting to engage more into this moment, we have prayer rooms available ((music playing)) after our service just in a couple of minutes. And so there's going to be a link that's put into the chat in the description that you can click on. ((music playing)) Uh and so if you're believing for more prayer, you want more ministry, click on those links. And then also, we saw a number of you wanted to give ((music playing)) your life to God. And uh if you want to give your life to Christ, we also have a link >> ((music playing)) >> uh that will say start here. Uh that's for new believers. We want to invite you to click on that. We have a team there that can be able to meet with you, pray with you, ((music playing)) um, and kind of walk you through the steps of what's next. And so, be checking out the chat for those things. But we're so thankful that you joined us. And, um, as Ruth said, we we just we're kicking off this whole week. And so, we have prayer ((music playing)) every morning, Pacific time, 7:30 a.m., 8:30 a.m. And Zoom links ((music playing)) >> to 8:30. >> Yes. 7:30 to 8:30 a.m. uh, via Zoom links. And so really want to enjoy uh encourage you to join that. It's going to be a powerful time. If you're like, "How do I get that?" Emails, emails, emails, emails. >> Yes, check your emails for those links. If you don't get emails from us, you can sign up for a free account um for Bethl online or you can email contact at bethl.online if you have signed up and you're not getting an email for some reason. Um but the links will be on that. And then Friday night from 6:30 till 8:00, we have prayer and worship as well. That will be on Zoom and Bethl online and YouTube, I think. So, we're putting putting that in all the places, but please join us. Please join us and um and pray with us. Let's believe together for those times. Each morning is going to look slightly different. Um >> but we'd love for you to join in in in that fast. And um >> and it doesn't have to be food that you fast. It can be a lot of things. The whole goal of this >> is to be more intentional with actually carving out time to connect with God, engage with God, get fresh vision, uh hear his voice speaking over your life for the direction of the year, believe for breakthrough. And so we we're not fasting for breakthrough. We're fasting from breakthrough. And what I mean by that is we're not doing this so that we obtain something. Christ already did the work. He obtained the work for us. We're just receiving his promises. we're actually creating space to actually partner with what he's already accomplished on the cross. And it's from that place that we're engaging this week. And so, uh, I want to encourage you just to take time of like, hey God, is there anything this week that you want me to intentionally set aside so that I can actually set time aside for you? And it could be a lot of things. It could be video games. It could be social media. It could be the news. It could be music. It whatever it is. It could be food. It could just be fast food. It could be whatever it is. Sugar, right? chocolate, whatever it is. Um, just set those a time. But it's about being intentional with the Lord this week. And we want to encourage you to join us throughout the week as well. >> Yeah. And I just want to pray that your week is also marked by peace. That as Haley was talking about the God of peace um filling you that even as you meet with him, I felt like the Lord said that some of you the standard is going to be reset where your meeting time with God is not going to feel like this frantic I have to obtain something. It's actually going to feel filled with the peace of the Lord. um and where maybe it's even been like I don't know how to do this or how to engage with you here that you're just going to feel peace. >> Yeah. >> Um and feel alignment with heaven. And so I I bless you to be filled with peace um this whole this whole week that your mind and your awareness of of God that brings everything into alignment and everything into order. >> Um it would be yeah released over you and your families that we encourage you to do things as a family too. So, if you're if you have kids and you want to invite them into the same process, feel free to do that and and seek the Lord together. >> And just uh clarify, some people are like, "How do I get it?" If you don't get emails from us already, just go to bethl.online uh bethl.com. You can go to online church section and just sign up. It's a free account. You don't you just put in your name and an email and then you'll get notifications and then on Bethl online, you'll be able to see those links come up with the emails and stuff. And if you aren't getting them, you can all if you need help, you can always email contact bethl.online contact bethl.online and we can always help you out from there, too. So, >> so don't forget ministry rooms, prayer rooms available. If you gave your life to Christ, start here. Links in the descriptions. But we love you guys and we'll see you later. Don't forget about tonight's service as well. It's going to be powerful. >> Bless you guys. Have a wonderful week.
