26. Happy New Year. Merry Christmas. Happy all the things. Christmas is over, but >> it's over. >> I wanted to make sure I wish them merry Christmas as well. >> Oh, merry Christmas, guys. >> We just went backwards. >> So, what are you wishing for for Christmas this year? >> Went backwards.

Uh, happy 4th of July. >> Happy 4th of July. Happy Valentine's Day. Now, some of you are already thinking that's actually coming because our stores are carrying all of the Valentine. >> True. It literally went on the shelves already, all of the hearts. Well, guys, happy new year.

We hope that you're doing well. Will you put it in the chat where you're tuning in from? And we would love to say hi. Cassie, I would love to know where did you celebrate Christmas this year? >> I was in Washington DC. >> Okay. >> And also Virginia.

In some parts, I was really just in Virginia. >> Did you do all the tourist stuff? Did you go and see the sites? >> We saw the White House. >> Nice. >> We saw the Asian Museum. I know. Wild. Honestly, was it? >> Was it so fun? >> So fun.

They had like a little Korean exhibit, so we went to see that. >> Did you eat some good food? >> I had the best food. >> Okay. What was the the number one dish? >> I am Korean and so we had like non-stop Korean food. I I told people this was my Korean food tour.

Also, my body is like we're so in shock because now we're fasting. We went from like >> it's wanting the Korean food now. >> Yeah. I want it now. >> But you're like, "No." >> Yeah. No, we're done. Basically, I always tell people I'm carbo loading for a race I'm never going to run.

Like it just feels like you just carb up. Okay. Kind of joking, but what about you? Where were you, Tori? >> Um, I was in Springfield, Missouri. Uh, so if you're from Springfield, I want to know. I have never been there. My parents just moved there, so it was good to spend some time with some family.

But we went to this amusement park, which if you've ever been there, I need to know. It's called Silver Dollar City. I waited two and a half hours in line for a ride. Two and a half. >> Okay. >> That's a long time. >> Was it worth it? >> Okay.

I will say it had the thrill and the adrenaline. And I don't know if you like roller coasters. >> I just spent 18 hours at Disneyland on New Year's Eve. I like a roller coaster. Tell me. I'm gonna offend some people, but Disneyland doesn't have that great of like a thrill ride.

Like the highest like thrill ride is in California Adventures when they drop you. The what is that one called? Do you know what I'm talking about? >> Uh yeah, I do. >> They'll put it in the chat though. >> Guardians. I will say Galatians. Galatians sounds really holy, but it was Guardians of the G. >> But it's like but the drop on the ride that I had, it literally made me I was like, "Oh my gosh, like I might go into eternity right now."

And I literally under my breath I was like Jesus Jesus Jesus Jesus but then laughing at the same time. It was good. It was a thrill. >> I think my housemate when we went to Disney and we rode oh my gosh I want to see Galatians again. Guardian of the Galaxy.

And I don't know if you've ever rode this ride. Some of you are like Disneyland ladies really. Yeah. It was like people say Bethl is the Christian Disneyland. Sometimes we live here we go there and then we come back to Christian Disneyland. But anyways, um my really nervous to go down >> and to like hit the drops and we're like it's going to be fine.

There's really not that many. >> So instantly hit the ride. She's the entire time. But I felt alive. >> But you're also so safe. Like there's no like >> Yeah. But I prayed. I said, "Holy Spirit," he's like, "I'm with you." And let me tell you, some of you take us into a message.

Yeah. We'll go into a message here. Some of us get so like nervous and we wonder if the Lord's going to walk with us through the hardest times of our lives. And I'm telling you, I was about to ride a roller coaster, something so fun. And I was like, "Holy Spirit, are you with me? >> He is your guardian. >> Are you with me?"

And he's like the guardian in the galaxies. >> Just like he's with me when I have to do something scary in ministry, preaching the gospel, prophesying over somebody, taking a risk with a word of knowledge. He is with me. >> That is a good word. You really turned that around, didn't you? >> Thanks.

Yeah, that's amazing. >> Yeah. Actually, the first time I rode a roller coaster like three years ago at Disney, that was like the thing for me was knowing that God was going to be with me in the midst of that because I think sometimes every time I get on a roller coaster, I was like, "God, is this safe?" >> No, I I'm a little like I'm a little scared, but that's like the point of it all.

You know, it's so funny. >> Cuz if it's not safe and the Holy Spirit says, "Get off, you better believe. >> You better listen. >> We're done. >> You better listen. >> We're not going to ride that ride." Um, >> they're all saying they love Disney. >> Oh, they love Disney.

They want to go to Disneyland, but in Florida, Disney in Florida is it it's probably Do you think it's better than in California? >> Am I like ruffling some feathers here? >> I don't know if I have a preference. I need to go back to Disney World as an adult and then I'll make it >> as an adult because I went as a kid.

Yeah, for sure. But no one said anything about Silver Dollar City. Wait, >> no, they did. Look, Bethl Tim on our [laughter] line said Silver Dollar City. Some people right on just up the road. Wow. >> Yes. I was in your neck of the woods. >> I've never even heard of this.

Bethl online. You're probably like, "What are they talking about?" Just getting out, right? Enjoying life, doing the things that >> Well, I want to know, do you have a word for this year? And also, if you have a word, put it in the chat. I kind of I always like to ask my friends if they're meditating on something that the Lord has spoken over their year.

Do you have one? >> I do. I spend, guys, I I think I talked about this maybe last week. I spend a lot of time dreaming with God. I ask him for a word. She does. I see her in the coffee shop. >> Yeah, I I did. I spent hours.

I asked the Lord for a verse for the year. Um the Lord gave me a verse and it's in Psalm 27. Okay, so I'm going to flip there real quick. >> Take us in pastor. >> I got really excited. I was like Psalm 27. It's like the one thing I asked for, right?

Like to dwell in the house of the Lord. And the Lord says verse 14. And I went, "Oh no." Good. >> Oh no. And that verse is wait for the Lord. Be strong and let your heart take courage. wait for the Lord. And I just had this beautiful moment with the Lord where I'm like, God, even if that's just for my life. >> You're asking me to wait on you, to actually take heart, to be courageous, waiting for you in the midst of everything in my life, I never want to go forward into a place without him.

And so if it looks like waiting so that he can lead me, I'm going to wait. >> And even though it might have felt scary in that moment of hearing like that's my word, that's my verse for the year. And yet I feel so encouraged because it's the Lord speaking to me, talking to me about um what he's actually doing in my life.

And yeah, the the word that I heard um I kept hearing rebirth >> and um >> I was like, what does that mean, rebirth? Like how what gosh Lord, what does rebirth mean? And I kept hearing rebirth into stillness. And so I just wait. >> I feel excited.

And rebirth. Yeah. What about you? >> That's good. Um you know, I haven't felt like I had this major word yet. I didn't spend hours in a coffee shop, but I have journaled. I have spent some time with the Lord. I don't know if I have a major word for 2026.

Um, but I do feel uh excited about 2026. I feel like it's going to be a year of Well, you even said it this morning in church that it's a year of celebration. I feel like there's a lot of anticipation going into 2026. A lot of the wait. >> Um, I feel like Yeah, I feel like it's one of celebration. >> Come on.

Come on. Pop in the chat. Let us know what you guys are hearing from God. Maybe you haven't had a chance to do this yet. It's okay. It is only January 4th or maybe 5th, wherever you are. I know some people were already on the other side of the world.

Um, take some time, ask the Lord how he wants to encourage you, what he's speaking over you. Maybe the Lord will speak to you tonight during worship. We're actually hosting an encounter room. >> Encounter. >> Encounter night. Encounter room. >> Encounter night. >> Encounter night. >> Yes. An encounter night.

Also, do you want to tell them about our fast that's coming up? You said that you already started your fast. I've already started my fast. Do you want to maybe tell the online audience how they can engage with us in the the fast? >> It's going to be so great.

Thanks. I'm glad you just mentioned that. Uh well, we are hosting a fast. We started today as a church and we'll actually run through Saturday. Some people will adjust it. Haley Braun gave an incredible word this morning saying some of you may feel called to fast for a month or until March.

And so, I thought that was very interesting that she mentions those specific kinds of dates. Um, we are hosting prayer and worship in the morning. And so every morning at 7:30 a.m. uh Pacific time, we're hosting worship and or prayer and worship. >> And how can they tune in? >> Well, that's so that's a little that's what I was trying to text and I'm so glad you answered when I don't have the answer.

Yeah, I know. That's why I said I'm so glad you asked. Um because Oh, the team has I think there's a Zoom link that you guys have. So, praise God. Um, but you can tune in with us uh Monday through Friday morning from 7:30 to 8:30 a.m. be in the room.

Come join us um via Zoom. That would be awesome. And then we're also hosting a worship night on Friday. It's basically our celebration even though it's a night early. It's our way to celebrate the end of the fast and um just worship together um celebrating everything that the Lord's already done.

So, we start um we start the fast off every year. It's become like a tradition that we do here at Bethl. And it's been some of my favorite times with the Lord. Some of my favorite times even as we gather as a church body and even as you gather online that there is a camaraderie that comes with it.

And also when you seek the Lord, he's found and there's so many encounters waiting for us as we seek him and as we fast, as we join in in prayer. I'm excited for it. >> Come on. It's going to be awesome. >> Tonight is going to be an incredible night. >> It's good.

And if I just say I I feel this like little um stiffness in my neck and I don't know if anyone's been feeling a stiffness like even like an ache in your neck. I haven't been feeling right now. Just test your neck and see if um that pain >> lifts off.

Um I just pray that any achiness, any stiffness um would would dissipate in the name of Jesus. And so guys, we bless you. We pray that you would experience the goodness of God, that you would uh encounter his presence just even as we host him, as we worship together, and um >> that you would experience the love of the Lord.

Yeah. We love you guys and we'll see you on the other side. Bye. Oh my god. >> [clears throat] >> Good evening, Bethl Church. Welcome to Sunday night, our first Sunday night of the year. Are you excited for 2026? Hey guys, why don't you stand with me? Uh, grab a neighbor and come on down to the front.

We're going to get started. We just want to say hello to our online family. We're so happy you joined us tonight. Uh, tonight is a different night that we do. It's called uh an encounter night. Turn to your neighbor and say encounter nights where we specifically make space to host the presence of God.

So today we have one mission and that is to seek his face. So that's what we're going to do tonight. uh in order that we don't have any interruptions for the Holy Spirit, we are going to do tithe and offering in the beginning. Yay. So, why don't you take a moment, grab your wallet or your phone or whatever you give for tithes and offerings, and we're going to start tonight off with an offering of finances.

So, we're going to read offering number one. And before we do this, I just want us to partner in faith that tonight that this year 2026 is going to be the most prosperous year that we will see heaven touch every area of our lives. So, that's what we're going to do.

So, uh, if you look on the screen, we're going to start. As we receive today's offering, we are believing the Lord for jobs and better jobs, raises and bonuses, benefits, sales and commissions, favorable settlements, estates and inheritances, interests and income, rebates and returns, checks in the mail, gifts and surprises, finding money, debts paid off, expenses decrease, blessing and increase.

Thank you, Lord, for meeting all of my financial needs that I may have more than enough to give into the kingdom of God and promote the gospel of Jesus Christ. Hallelujah. Amazing. ((applause)) Hey, we have some buckets up front. If you want to give your tithe and offering uh up front here, you can rush the buckets.

Also, if Bethl is not your home church, please keep your tithe for your home church. But you are more than welcome to give a donation tonight. Are you guys ready? Are you guys ready to worship the Lord in the house? Uh if you didn't know and you found yourself here tonight, uh you found yourself in a house that seeks the face of God.

Uh we have started today a corporatewide fast uh for more to for more of Jesus. And we are pursuing his face to see the promises of heaven touch earth. And I've been thinking it's kind of in my own theology. He says the fullness of the Holy Spirit has been given to me.

So I guess I can't really get more of Jesus. But what I'm recognizing in this fast is that he can get more of me. And so tonight, I want us to posture ourselves, to seek his face, not to persuade him or to convince him to do anything for us, but to position ourselves in humility, that he would get more of me, that he would get more of us, that there would be more places in our lives that we can ((music playing)) surrender to.

I was thinking of this scripture. I was thinking of this scripture as we open tonight. This is in 2 Chronicles 14. If my people say that's me, >> that's who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray ((music playing)) and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven.

I and I will forgive their sin and heal their land. Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to prayer made in this place. Why don't you just close your eyes for a second? And just out of the quietness of your heart, doesn't have to be loud, but just say, "Lord, I've come to seek ((music playing)) your face.

I've come to seek your face, Jesus." Lord, we're we're tired of the routine, the normal. Lord, we we ((music playing)) invite you, Holy Spirit, to come and break all our boxes. We want to see you, Jesus. >> Yes. >> All right. Why don't you find a neighbor next to you, say hi, give them a hug, welcome them.

Tonight, we're going to go into worship. >> ((music playing)) >> There is a sound I love to hear. is the sound of ((music playing)) a Savior's robe as he walks into this room where people ((music playing)) pray. Where we hear praises, he hears faith. Yeah. Let him ((music playing)) hear it. There is a sound ((music playing)) I love to hear.

Worthy is [singing] the lamb. Amen. >> ((music playing)) >> This is a holy place. And these are a holy people. ((music playing)) Not because of your works, but because of grace and because of Jesus Christ.

Not because of your efforts and your righteousness. but because of his righteousness ((music playing)) and his destiny. This is a holy place and these are a holy people. To have someone next ((music playing)) to you and say, "You look so holy." [laughter] What's great about the new covenant is that you can step in even though you're not qualified.

Even though you don't have your whole life together, you get to step in. And this is the first church service of 2026. ((music playing)) We're not stepping in through self efforts. We are stepping in through grace in Christ. We are stepping in through his righteousness, not our own. And suddenly a ((music playing)) 16-year-old can step and lead a revival.

Suddenly a person who's been saved for 6 months ((music playing)) can see the Lord in his fullness in all everything. Tap someone next to you and say, "You're holy. You're qualified." Tonight, we're going to do something pretty ((music playing)) unique. Uh the scriptures talk about um that there are different seasons. Just want to read a scripture over you and we're going to go into another song in a moment where it talks about that ((music playing)) God changes the times and the seasons in Daniel 2.

But then it also speaks of a people that understood those times and they knew ((music playing)) what to do in those times in Chronicles 12. And I've invited up a a couple prophetic voices that are going to speak over 2026. ((music playing)) This is not predict the future night. This is ((music playing)) formation and partnership.

For there are these voices that discern the times and the seasons that we're in that invite you into a moment to say, "Hey, if you partner, ((music playing)) something can be built and created on the earth." Tap someone next to you and say, "It's time to discern the seasons. ((music playing)) these ((music playing)) prophetic words that are about to get released, they they aren't um they aren't predictions.

[clears throat] They are literally invitations into prayer, into partnership, and into obedience. I love where it talks about in the scripture there was 400 years of silence. Imagine low prophecy for 400 years. Man, we just be making the ((music playing)) best guess on what the right thing to do was. Imagine God not speaking what you should do. 400 years he's not whispering.

He's not speaking through the prophets. And in those 400 ((music playing)) years, there's 400 years of silence. And there's no presence in the temple. There's no manifest glory ((music playing)) in the temple. And from that place, the Pharisees and the Sadducees are formed. And I think to myself, ((music playing)) man, at Bethl Church, if we had no presence and we had no prophetic, what would we do?

It's like what we do. [laughter] It's like who we are. So tonight, I I've invited two friends that ((music playing)) just carry a prophetic mantle on their lives to discern the times and the seasons and to prophesy ((music playing)) over 2026. We see this throughout scripture where seasons are earmarked by prophets and seasons are spoken into by ((music playing)) prophets and as they speak, it's almost like the future gets to be created with God.

This is on a macro scale, but it's on a micro scale. Tap someone next to you and say, "God has something to say about your life." And let me tell you some good news that his plans, his plans, his plans are good plans. They're not to harm you, but they're are for a hope and for a future.

He has plans to prosper you. See, like, oh man, I I I don't want to hear his plans. You want to hear his plans. >> You want to hear exactly his plans for you because they're good. >> I I didn't say they were easy. >> No, but they're good.

Every prophetic utterance requires a prophetic obedience. Otherwise, it's just a good idea hanging in the air, waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting. ((music playing)) Tap someone next to you and say, "It's time to be obedient." When the scripture says, "Be strong and courageous. Do not fear." That's strength. It's a different strength from this world.

That strength, that strength that comes through obedience and that courage, that courage comes through faith. It's a very ((music playing)) different strength and courage to this world. Tap someone next to you and say, ((music playing)) "I'm ready to obey." >> Tap someone next to you and say, "I'm ready to be full of courage and faith. >> ((music playing)) >> You feel the honor.

It says if you honor the prophet, you receive the prophet's reward. What I'm doing is I'm creating an honor in your hearts ((music playing)) for the prophetic. Right now, we're going to sing one more song and Pete's going to lead us. So, if you could all stand and I know And as we sing this, we're going to give praise to the Lord.

So, we're lifting the voice of the Lord on high. Oh, we're going to we're going to we're lifting the voice of the Lord on high. We're not hanging um on words from man. We're hanging on a promise from the son of man. >> Uh uh we are not changed by trying harder.

We're changed by looking longer. And so as we behold him, a transformation starts to happen inside of us again before prophecy lands on your ears. I I just want our hearts to be postured. Just one more time, postured unto him. And so just a a moment right now, just everybody close your eyes.

If you're a seer, it's so easy. I want you to see the Lord. If you're a feeler, I want you to just feel the atmosphere of Christ in this place. A friend of mine said they just got back from a ministry trip and they said there's nothing like reading in Bethl.

It's an open heaven here. Uh if you're in Noah, I want you just to like sit there and just know that the Lord is with you. If you hear him so clearly, I want you to hear the whispers of heaven that are circling ((music playing)) this room with the angels that have surrounded the walls in this place.

And just for a moment, for 30 seconds, I want you to speak in a heavenly language. If you don't have a heavenly language, I pray you get it now. Uh otherwise, I want you to speak in your earthly language. But just start to pray. Uh for we stand at a threshold.

Uh we're a threshold season. The beginning of one season is a threshold just like the River Jordan was a threshold unto promise. and where Joshua supernaturally split the River Jordan. Jesus supernaturally split the heavens. And we stand at a Jordan moment in the spirit and we start to intercede church.

Oh, a holy people in a holy land. A holy people in a holy land. >> ((music playing)) >> A holy people in a holy land ((music playing)) at a threshold at a Jordan River moment. Oh, you're crossing ((music playing)) through. You're crossing through. You're crossing through. The old ((music playing)) is gone. You're crossing through into a promise.

((music playing)) Take the voice down. ((music playing)) Father, we have come to bow down ((music playing)) in worship. Lifting [singing] up our hearts, we ((music playing)) bow down in praise. Hallelujah. ((music playing)) You're the love ((music playing)) of our souls. Hallelujah. [music and singing] With all the heaven we ((music playing)) are seeing ((music playing)) with all of heaven. Oh, we ((music playing)) join with heaven. >> ((music playing)) >> Oh, we join with heaven.

Friday ((music playing)) morning, you're the bright morning star. Your ((music playing)) eyes blaze like fire, ((music playing)) shining like the sun. You're ((music playing)) our [singing] one desire. Hallelujah. ((music playing)) You're the L ((music playing)) of ((music playing)) all. Heat. Heat. Heat. ((music playing)) We know we ((music playing)) know we know ((music playing)) we ((music playing)) are ((music playing)) Heat. Heat. ((music playing)) Heat. ((music playing)) Heat. ((music playing)) ((music playing)) Heat. Heat. Heat. ((music playing)) Yeah. ((music playing)) Heat. Heat. Heat. ((music playing)) ((music playing)) >> ((music playing)) >> Heat.

Heat. ((music playing)) >> ((music playing)) >> Heat. ((music playing)) Heat. Heat. ((music playing)) Heat. Holy ((music playing)) are you. ((music playing)) Holy are you. Are you holy are you? >> Holy are you. >> And worthy are you. Worthy are you >> and ((music playing)) holy are you holy are you holy are you and worthy are ((music playing)) you worthy are you just keep playing.

((music playing)) This is not harp, God. This is holy. This fast week is not harp. This new ((music playing)) service is not harp. This is holy ground with a holy people. God, you spoke into seasons. ((music playing)) You use voices. It says Paul says, "Would two or three of you prophesy?" ((music playing)) talking about a gathering such as this where two or three of you start to prophesy ((music playing)) and it's talking about a corporate season.

My God, we just thank you that you speak life through your sons and daughters. God, put a hand on someone next to you. Start to pray that their life in 2026, their life goes just it's a Jordan River moment. It's a crossing ((music playing)) over into promised land. It's a crossing over into promised land.

Start to pray. ((music playing)) Okay, then ((music playing)) you can take your seats or whatever you want to do. We're about to move into a moment ((music playing)) of prophetic declaration. And I only share this about this ((music playing)) person so that your heart is postured uh correctly to receive. But I've ministered with this person all over um the world.

And uh I remember in Brazil just seeing the power of God and rooms just be flattened ((music playing)) under the power of the Holy Spirit as she would minister and prophesy. I remember moments where her hair would go crazy and flapping around and and I remember uh calling up all the women in the room and it was about ((music playing)) within 10 minutes everyone started getting these radical deliverance breakthroughs and uh this friend of mine I haven't met many that operate in the prophetic ((music playing)) grace that she does if you guys know her name's Alyssa Morris.

And why don't you just just ((music playing)) uh in your heart, you know, it's not it's not the gift so much in her life, but it's the Christ ((music playing)) so much in her love that we want to celebrate. So, just when I count to three, can we just go crazy for that? 1 2 3.

((cheering)) ((music playing)) >> ((applause)) >> Hello. [laughter] Wow. This is such an incredible honor and I'm excited. You can stay standing. You can stay kneeling. My heart and my desire ((music playing)) is that Jesus reveals himself to you. And I am just so expectant for the words that are going to be shared tonight. And I myself am preaching to myself tonight as I just share the word.

As Richard said, my name is Alyssa. ((music playing)) I'm here on staff. I've been pastoring now for 5 years here and it's just such an honor ((music playing)) to be here. And yesterday I was on a plane ride and I was flying at one of the shortest flights known. It's from SFO to Reading.

And as most of you guys in this room have probably flown that flight many times, there was a uniqueness to our flight. And our flight took not 35 minutes, but took us six hours. ((music playing)) We took off from SFO. We circled around Reading not once, not twice, but three times.

We then tried to land those three times. We got diverted to Sacramento where we tried to go back to Reading and circle around where we were not able to land and eventually ended up back in the same place that I started back in SFO. So, I don't know about you, but I was like, "Okay, God, are you getting my attention here?

Do you have something that you want to speak to me?" And I don't know about you, but God speaks to me in circumstances. and he began to actually give me a download personally what I need to hear, but I also felt for 2026 what he is ushering us into as the bride.

And so [laughter] I just began to ask the Holy Spirit and before Richard invited me to share tonight just briefly, he took me to Matthew 25. And this is a story, some of you guys would be familiar with it, but it's the story of the parable of the talents.

Kind of a unique verse for him to bring me to, but I'm going to read really briefly out of verse 14 of 25. For the kingdom of heaven is like a man traveling to a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered his goods to them. And to one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one, each according to his own ability.

And immediately went on a journey. Then he who received the five talents went and traded with them and made another five talents. And likewise the one who gained two received two more. But the one who had received one went and dug it in the ground and hid his lord's money.

And after a long time, the lord of the servants came and settled accounts with him. And so when this master comes back, when the master speaks to the one who um produced who g he gave five to and produced that he gave two to they both multiplied the five multiplied to five, the two multiplied to two.

And the master says to both of these servants throughout that passage, well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over few things. I will make you ruler over many. Enter into the joy of the Lord. And to the one who buried, he said to the master, um the the servant said to the master, "I was afraid, God, I was afraid."

And he hid his talent in the ground. And that's when the master says to that servant, he calls him way lazy and wicked. And you see actually studying into this passage a little further, talents. One talent was 15 years of labor was 15 years of a salary. So imagine today somebody coming up to you and saying, "I'm giving you 15 years worth right now."

That's ridiculous. That's crazy. He gave each of them 15 years worth. One 15 1* 2. Yeah. The other one 30 years. The one who he gave five to 75 years. He gave them all abundance. We read that and we don't realize. We just think one. But no, the master gave them each an abundance.

He gave them each a fullness. And do the question that I have for us to today is did they see what they had? And it says in verse 29, for to everyone who has more will be given and he will have abundance. And when I was circling around and around and around reading wondering if I would ever get here tonight, the Lord spoke to me in this verse and he said, "Alyssa, there's some things in your life that there might have been time that's gone by, but there has been no advancement.

There has been no advancement. And there's things in our lives I know sitting here cuz I'm preaching to myself here today where 2023 it's been the same thing. We're 2024, we're 2025. Well, in 2026, this is the year that it breaks. And this is the year of the ushering in of the fullness of the joy of the Lord.

((applause)) And he said to me, and I I mean I'm speaking about addiction. I'm not personally, but I'm speaking about things in my life that it's been an encumbrance that I know that there is going to be a grace season. There is a grace season. And he said that Alyssa, if you don't believe what he what I have put in your hands is worth anything, you will go and bury it.

If you don't believe what I have put in your hands, you will go and bury it. And we bury things. Why? We bury them out of shame, out of lack of belief, out of lack of faith. But if you do know, and I believe what he has put in our hands, what he has put in us is Christ in us, the hope of glory.

It is him. He is the multiplier. He is the abundance bringer. He is the one. But do you have eyes to recognize that he is in the midst with you? That he is your intercessor? that he is the one who is interceding alongside you, desiring to bring breakthrough in this.

God is not only breaking cycles today, breaking cycles this year. And I feel like some of this is familial cycles. Some of this is generational cycles. Would you say again this year, God? Again, I put this on my New Year's resolution again. I've declared this over my family again.

But let me tell you there is going to be grace to actually see actually know you are going to have a new a newness to how you are viewing because they will have a revelation that Christ is in you. And it starts it starts with prayer. It starts with having our eyes to see.

Prayer is in our last resort. It needs to be our first utterance. It's the ignition point that catalyzes our need for him so that he can do Ephesians 3:20 exceedingly abundantly above all that you can ask or think according to the power that is in us. The abundance is him.

It is seeing the advancement of the kingdom. And so [gasps] about three weeks ago, I had a unique circumstance. Like I said, my life happens in circumstances. And I had an opportunity to recognize, "Oh, God, you're in this with me." I had three things shatter within the matter of three weeks.

First woke up, my window was shattered in my bedroom. No point of contact. Nothing happened. I kind of just shrugged it off my shoulders and I'm like, "Okay, this is interesting." Then the next day, I opened my computer screen, my work computer, and it was completely, the screen was shattered.

Then a few days later, I just got gifted some finances to purchase a new car. My new car window got completely shattered. And it wasn't and my car wasn't and it wasn't my fault, but the person, the company who I was working with, they weren't taking responsibility. And so I was like, I began to go, "Oh no, God, you are with this in me.

You are in me." And I began not to just shrug it off my shoulders, not to just be complacent, not to just say, "Oh yeah, another thing broke." But I began to say, "Oh no, Christ, you're in me and I'm going to take authority." Because it was it was more um a covering.

And the Lord was saying over my neighborhood, over BSin, that I was meant to pray and intercede and break something in the spirit. So I I took my roommates, Ava's in this room. I love you. And we went and we went all the way to the middle of a main highway where my street in the main highway intersects.

And I was like, I don't care if anybody sees us. And I took out communion with her and with my other roommate. And I just began to speak and I said, "This street will see life. This street will see the abundance of God. this street will not have any hindrance come against it, but it will prosper.

And I began to we spoke in circles in um in tongues all around our neighborhood. And the next morning, I woke up to a phone call with a complete 180°ree turn saying the person was not only taking full responsibility, but they were paying for everything and then some.

And oh man and but there [laughter] is an invitation because in Ephesians 1:20 20 through 22 it says he worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in heavenly places far above all principalities and power and might and dominion and every name that is named not only in this age, but in the age to come.

And he put all things under his feet, and gave him to be head over all things to the church, which is his body, to the fullness of God, who fills all and all. And I felt like for all of us, there's been things that we've been going in circles, not knowing our identity, not knowing who Christ's in us.

And you've see been complacent in certain areas of your life. And you haven't invited Christ to see. There is going, this is going to be year of the bride waking up to being launched, launched, birthing, knowing who is in them, knowing who is the multiplier and the advancer of the kingdom.

And we are called to launch things in the kingdom of God this year. Will you bury what he has given you in unbelief? As Chris Valentin says, will you partner in faith this year in the wrong kingdom and just come up next year with the same thing? or are you going to recognize that in this area Christ wants you to apprehend and to know that he is in you to see that thing break and to see his spirit launched into your life and into your family's life and the because just as in the parable of the talents the one who recognized what he was given who he was given multiplication happened and joy.

He said, "Enter into joy." But let me tell you, Bethl, this is going to be a radical season in the year of 2026 where joy is our portion. Where we are not stuck, we are not hindered of things of the past, where we are walking into the fullness of joy.

So, if this resonates with you, I want to invite you to stand and I'm going to pray over you. And why don't you just put up your out your hands, God? I just thank you. I thank you, Lord, that we will begin to see things with your eyes, God.

And I thank you, Lord, that we won't bury the things that you have given us. That you have given us the Holy Spirit, the one who is the one who brings breakthrough, brings transformation in our lives, Lord. And I declare and decree over people's lives this year that there will be radical joy over the things that have been cyclical.

That there will be radical breakthrough over the cycles that the enemy has kept us captive. Lord, I thank you, Lord, that you are bringing breakthrough in those circumstances, God. And I ask, Holy Spirit, that you would rain down your spirit, that your presence would come. And Lord, I thank you.

I thank you for faith and eyes to see. I thank you for faith and eyes to see. And why don't you just put your hand on your neighbor and why don't you just begin to say, God, I thank you for fresh eyes to see of faith. Lord, that we would break the cycles of the past and we would know that you are the multiplier that you are the advancer that you are the one.

And I felt like even over health, chronic health, chronic health, if that's you, if you have been struggling chronic health, I want you to put your hand up. Yes. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, God. I thank you for a breaking. And I thank you that the enemy that the doctor's report maybe over them isn't the report that you have for them, God.

And I ask, Holy Spirit, that there would just be breakthrough over those areas, God. I thank you, Lord, that you're resurrecting dead things. And I thank you, God, that we carry in authority, that we are seated in heavenly places with you, that the that the bride would begin to wake up, to wake up to knowing, God, that we are seated, that we carry authority in you, God.

And Jesus, I ask I ask and actually I felt like for a couple of you guys in this room if you feel like you've been tormented over generational things like you know it's not yours. You know it's been handed down. I want you to lift up your hands.

I actually really feel freedom right now. So Jesus, I thank you right now. We just break the cycles. We break the cycles. We break the cycles. Every stronghold of the enemy will not go forth. And we declare and decree that in 2025 there is an ushering forth of your spirit.

God, I thank you Lord that you are cutting off. Yes, that man in the red, you are getting free. Your family line is getting free. I can see him right there. Luan, if you want to put your hand on him next to you, go ahead. Right there in the man in the sweatshirt.

So, Lord, I don't know if it's a woman or a man, but God, I just bless what you're doing and I thank you, God, for who you are. Sorry, it's a woman. I apologize. Um, but I just thank you, Lord, for what you're doing, God. And I thank you, Lord, that every generational curse will be broken, Lord, that we will arise.

That we will arise and know our full inheritance. Our full inheritance. Our full inheritance. And why don't you begin to pray? Don't let me pray. Why don't you begin to pray? Why don't you begin to intercede over your family members? Why don't you begin to pray over over generational things for them to get broken off in the name of Jesus?

A severing, a severing, a severing, a severing. God, I thank you for an ushering forth of our full identity. God, I thank you, Lord, that our scales are coming up our off our eyes in the name of Jesus. Thank you, Holy Spirit. Thank you, Holy Spirit. We just thank you.

Thank you for the promise of your son. I thank you for the promise of your Holy Spirit. I thank you, God, for the gift for the gift of life in you. And Jesus, I bless and I cover everyone's year this year. And I thank you, Lord, that there will be a birthing and a launching in joy like we have never known.

Amen. >> ((applause)) ((applause)) >> Got to You got to catch your breath, girl. >> She's on fire. ((applause)) >> God is good. Amen. >> For those of you that don't know me, I'm Ben. I I I I get the privilege of serving at this church and overseeing all of our prophetic ministries.

One of my favorite things to do is is to have conversation with God. One of my uh favorite things these last three years has been uh this fast that we going we're going into because something shifted in my mind three years ago. We didn't call it a fast.

We called it a feast. [snorts] And uh I'm excited because we're stepping in. This is the first day of our feast. feasting on the voice of the Lord, feasting on his presence, feasting on his goodness, because this is our everyday life. But sometimes I have to say no to other appetites, other affections, other things that vif for my attention and I say yes to one voice and we feast on one voice.

And this is what we are stepping into right now is a divine feast. And I expect that God is going to meet us in so many incredible ways. Want to speak just for a few minutes and declare a few things that the Lord is doing because as a prophetic house, we don't want to just know what God is doing and sit back passively and say, "Okay, we'll see if that was a word of the Lord."

No. As a prophetic house, when we hear the declaration of the Lord, we need to get aggressive with that thing. We need to go after it to apprehend those things. That's what we do. That's we have a mandate on our lives. We say, "God, what's important to you, I'll make important to me through prayer and intercession and activation in my life."

And that's what this week's about. Last year at a prophetic conference, we had such a an incredible time and I love the themes that God kind of speaks and ushers in that we get to declare to the world and to our own body. And couple of years ago was the communion revival and the bride of Christ.

Last year our theme was legacy and the new era. And let me tell you that communion revival, it continues on. It's just not we have communion one time and that's it. No, God is ushering us into a partnership with him the likes of which we have never experienced before.

And from that partnership, we will step into a new era. And as we walked out of this place on the Friday night, Heather and I were driving home, my wife and she's like, "Well, we I I said, "We we need to figure out the theme of next year's prophetic conference."

She says, "I already know it." I said, "What is it?" She says, "It's harvest. >> It's harvest." And when she spoke it out, it was as if God himself came in the car and I was like, "That's the word of the Lord. That is that's the word of the Lord.

That's what God is doing." And so, we've been leaning into this message and that's the theme of this this whole feasting week is harvest. We get to feast on the good things that Jesus Christ purchased at the cross >> and everything that he purchased there. We need to begin to put a demand on >> in Isaiah chapter 2.

It's unique. What happens there is they said there's there's this word about the swords being hammered into plowshares into pruning hooks, the spears into pruning hooks. That's about harvest. >> And what's it say? They will beat their swords. You need to stop fighting. You need to start harvesting.

This is the season we're stepping into is that we go after tena with tenacity the things that God has declared just like those ones with those talents that they were given and they're like no I'm going to reap a harvest from what you've sowed in my life and that's the season we're in.

We're in a harvest season. I was with our good prophet friend Dr. Michael Maiden. We were down in Vakavville ministering to a a bunch of pastors from a a church movement and someone asked him, he said, "What what's God speaking to you about this year?" And he said, "You know, it's unique because God usually tells me a lot of different things, but God this year has only told me one word, and the word is harvest." >> I'm like, "Okay, okay."

So, we're moving into something incredible. And I I just want to declare and it's one of my favorite portions of scripture is John chapter 21. And I believe we're stepping into a season of harvest that's not just any harvest. It's the big fish harvest. This is the second catch of fish.

And in this one, it's the resurrected Christ. And here's what's going on. You know, the disciples, they're like bummed out. They're like, "Let's go fishing. Let's go do our normal thing. Let's go back to our work and do this stuff." And they go out at night and they start fishing and they fish all night and haven't caught anything.

And then someone from the shore calls out, "Hey friends, have you caught any fish?" Nope. We haven't caught anything. Cast your nets on the other side. >> Throw your nets out for a catch. Here's what's crazy. They did it. Cuz in this story, it says they didn't recognize it was Christ yet.

They didn't recognize it was him. They cast their nets on the other side. They were compelled by a voice. God's speaking. There's harvest. And here's where the harvest is going to show up. It's going to show up in places you least expect it. They're going to show it's going to show up in in places where it's been difficult in the past.

You're going to see salvation of people and souls that were impossible in the past. family members that were against you and against the gospel, adverse to it, they're going to be like sponges this year because it's harvest time. And you're going to you're you're not going to battle them.

You're going to win them. You're going to harvest them. You're going to harvest in business like you've never harvested before. You say, "Hey, you know what? We had a great business idea. We were doing all of this great amazing stuff, but I never reaped the harvest that circling around the airport over and over and over.

And I haven't apprehended God, you said. And this year it's going to be different >> because the resurrected Christ has declared something over your life. He's declared a harvest season. Here's [screaming] what's crazy. At the end of that, when they start hauling it in the first great catch of fish, it said the net began to break.

But not in this one. In this one, in John chapter 21, it said, "And the nets didn't break. They were they it they should have broken. Why? Because there was so much harvest, >> but they didn't. Why? Because God is tightening the connections. He's restoring relationships. He's actually restoring the church back to union with each other.

The body of Christ is going to start partnering together for a harvest that's been prophesied a long time ago. A billion soul harvest. Hey, we've got more than a billion souls that need Jesus. So, let's harvest them all. But the nets need to be strong. Our connections need to be strong.

What's funny is when we don't care for our connections, >> nets break. >> But when we care for our connections, the same pressure that would break an unhealthy net only tightens our connection. And God is strengthening our connections with him and with each other >> so that we can bear up under the weight of the harvest God wants to pour out on us. >> Because the same harvest that is intended to bless us will break us if we're not taking care of those relationships.

And God is restoring relationship like never before. >> And there is a a spirit of forgiveness coming across the land. >> Where it was impossible to forgive. We're going to see forgiveness in that Isaiah 2 scripture. You know, they're talking about war and it says, "No longer will they be at war."

One of the biggest keys to the end of violence all over the world and animosity between nations is actually the harvest of souls, bringing people into a relationship with God. That's what's going to solve it. It's Jesus Christ and Jesus Christ alone. And I believe we're going to harvest we're going to have a harvest of healing like we've never seen before.

We're going to have a harvest of souls like we've never seen before. We're going to have a harvest of financial breakthrough that we've never seen before. We're going to have a harvest of invention and innovation like we've never seen before. Why? Because we're partnered with God and we're partnered with the body. >> We're in divine communion.

And in that place of divine communion, Christ becomes irresistible. >> And then we get to feast on everything that Jesus Christ purchased in his beating, >> in his death, in his resurrection, in his ascension. And I'm right on the edge. Richie, you've felt it before where we're we're we're right on the edge in some places where I'm like nothing is impossible.

I'm like I can feel I can feel it. I can taste it. I'm like no devil can stand in my way. No sickness, disease can stand in my way. No question about God will stand in my way. Why? Because I'm in union with God. And when I'm in union with him, all power can flow through me.

And we get to see Jesus get his full reward. >> How many need harvest? >> How many you have places in your life you've been looking for divine harvest? >> This is the season. But we're not going to be passive. >> We're going to be aggressive. We're going to go after it this year. >> We're going to be tenacious. >> Those pruning hooks are still sharp. >> Right.

There's still work. [clears throat] We're going to partner with God and we're going to make sure he gets everything. Father, I thank you for a divine season of harvest. We will feast on your goodness. We will feast on your voice. And we will trust you when you say, "Do the same thing you've been doing.

Just do it again. Just do it right over here." But now it's connected to your voice. And when it's connected to your voice, we get the big fish. I believe this is a season where we're going to see also huge influencers come into the body of Christ. >> The impossible ones who've actually fought against the church and against God are actually going to bow their knee to Jesus Christ. >> It's a big fish season.

Why? Because the church is finally becoming the church. >> Jesus, would you do it in our lives? >> Start here in me. Let there be a harvest in me. Let me harvest all that you have for me. And then let it overflow into my family. Let it flow into my family.

Let it flow into our communities >> where it doesn't matter where we go. Everywhere we go, we just bump up against people and they step into harvest. >> Every place we step into that is hurting actually becomes a place of wholeness, becomes a place of of great prosperity, God. that our cities would be prosperous >> because we're partnered with you in Jesus name. >> Listen, what we're doing is giving you eyes to see.

And one of the greatest things you can do to partner with this is now start looking for harvest, looking for places that need harvest to happen. And every time you see a place that hasn't had the harvest, every time you see the circling airplane, right, you're going to be the one standing there guiding people in, guiding people home to the harvest to what God has for them.

God, we thank you for a harvest. We thank you that it's now. And I will look for it. I will anticipate it. And every time I see even a breadcrumb, when a baby is first born in the womb, when that egg is first fertilized, it's the size of like a poppy seed.

God, we're going to celebrate the harvest even at that size until we see it come to full fruit. And nine months from now, we'll be celebrating the reaping of the harvest. Amen. ((applause)) Wow. You just heard from a father in this house and a daughter in this house and it just gives an invitation uh for fathers to rise up and for daughters and sons to rise up.

If I everyone close your eyes, I want to activate you right now. If uh if while Ben was speaking there was an area in your personal life were you like God the airplane has been circling around that area. I've cast my nets in that area before. I don't know.

But you're speaking and you're saying it's harvest time. You're speaking and you're saying it's breaking cycle time. You're speaking. You're saying, "Cast my nets." But I'm scared to be full of courage and I'm scared to have strength in this area. >> But God, you're speaking that there's harvest. >> If there's an area like that in your heart right now, your eyes closed.

And for some of you, I can hear it. For some of you, it it truly is. There's an area in love, in marriage, and singleness. You're like, I just I I feel like I'm supposed to respond. For some of you, it's an area in finance. Some of you, it's like you just said, you know what?

I'll never encounter God like that. I I I'm done. I I'll I'll just live my life. I'm never going to encounter God like that. Oh, some of you it's like, you know what? This lot in my life, that's what I've got. What if he was whispering and saying, cast your net again.

And it sounds so like I've heard that before, rich, and I've been disappointed. No. What if there was hope that filled you and you cast your nets and suddenly a harvest was coming in 2026? A harvest was coming in 2026. If there's an area like that in your life, when I count to three, I want you to raise your hand.

One, two, and three. [snorts] You know, keep your hand raised. I want you to open your eyes and look around the room. Often we think we're the only one. We often think we're the only one circling, wondering, casting our nets multiple times. But let me tell you, the way that we're going to get to the breakthrough isn't just doing it alone.

I want you to find someone with their hand raised very quickly. Someone you don't know, you didn't come with. And I'm going to activate the church and the prophetic. One of the unique things that Bethl Church does is we prophesy not just from the stage, but from the body.

If you have one of those areas of harvest, keep your hand up until someone comes to you that maybe you don't know. Why I say you don't know? Because I don't want you to prophesy out of familiarity. I want you to prophesy out of friendship with God. Okay.

And and once you've gone to somebody, if you if you don't have someone with you, just wave your hand violently so someone will come. Okay? Run to those people that hands are being waved or just pair up with someone else waving their hand. There's someone at the back.

There's someone at the back there. There's a lady over here. One of my team run to someone at Pruncher if you can. Jump in a group of three if you need. And if your hands raised, just join a group of three. If you're online and you're listening right now, the Lord can speak to you right there, right now.

And now, it's so simple. I want you to speak life. I want you to speak life. Even if they have not shared what the area is, I want you to start to prophesy what you sense the Lord has upon you. I believe in Hebrews 1, it says he spoke in the old days through the prophets, but these days he speaks through his son, Jesus Christ.

If you have Christ, I believe you have the gift inside of you to hear his voice. I want you to speak life over that area. If they're comfortable, you could even ask them to share. If not, I totally understand. You know, we can still prophesy right into that area of vulnerability >> without even knowing what it is.

I'm seeing someone sitting in their living room with their AirPods on right now and saying to themselves, "I can't trust you again in that area. I see despair. And I see loneliness. And I hear the Lord saying, >> "Do not fear. Do not fear. Do not fear. For the Lord your God is with you and you will overcome.

You will cross over. You will get through." And I see a river that you're crossing. And the Lord says, "The old will be left on that side, for there is a promise on the other side." And I speak to that person with the AirPods in right now and that is sitting in their loneliness.

I declare in Jesus' name, cast your nets again. There is a shift in the spirit. If you finish praying, I wonder if you would, those that are still sitting, I wonder if you join me to pray for this house, for the house of Bethl, that you would join me and intercede for this house that we call home that uh we would cast our nets and trust God for a harvest of miracles, a harvest of souls, and a harvest to see the kingdom of God advanced in the marketplace and in the ministry space.

Won't just join me and start to pray. God, we ask for a move of the spirit in this house. God, we thank you that you have poured your glory out in this place and we ask in Jesus' name for a fresh wave of your presence. The Lord spoke to me and he said, "This is a Joshua season.

It's a crossing over from the Jordan, a crossing over." And where Joshua supernaturally parted a river when Jesus was baptized in the Jordan, he supernaturally parted the heavens, never to be closed again, an open heaven. And I sense the Lord saying, Bethl church, we are in a Jordan season, a Jordan River crossing, and there is a promise for us to occupy.

And the promise is there, but it requires like Ben and Alyssa spoke about a tenacious, a aggressive obedience to respond to the word. An obedience to respond to the word. God, we declare in Jesus name change is coming and we respond with obedience. I bless our global family online. and we love you and we blessed you and we can't wait to be with you next week.

And if you're still in this room, I encourage you to linger and prophesy longer. There is a spirit of life in this place. We're going to leave the music playing, but we want to bless you. And we declare 2026 would be a year where the plane that has been circling over that area, the Lord is coming to deliver.

The Lord is coming to set free. Where you've cast your nets in that area, the Lord is saying there's a harvest in that area. We declare a blessing in Jesus' name. Before you leave this place, find at least six people and tell them God has good things for you in 2026. >> Hello, Bethl online. >> Hello.

There is a harvest there. Hold on. We can't talk at the same time because you won't hear us. We're so sorry. There is a harvest. Some of you actually need to say that over yourselves right now and say, "There is a harvest." Whether it's over your life, whether it's over your family, whether it's over your church, your street, whatever it is, but there is a harvest.

Wow. Wow. That was an incredible service. I am rocked. Cass Cass, what do you feel like the Lord did in you? >> H I mean, I think I love just moments to come together to worship. I'm curious what the Lord's doing in you guys. if you could post it in the chat.

Maybe there's an area um I [clears throat] feel really stirred right now about um even what Ben was saying about doing the same thing again, like casting the net again. I was telling Tori, I think it can feel so easy to h to to to try something and it doesn't pan out the way that we think it's supposed to pan out, so we quit. >> Yeah. >> And it's not necessarily a bad thing.

It just didn't work. And so we say, "Okay, I'll I'll move forward. God, I tried. I was obedient. I I knocked on that door. I did whatever it was. And yet, there's something in the atmosphere now. That word was just released. So, there's a there's a an availability and a grace and an invitation for us now to actually cast the net again. >> And let me be honest, that's vulnerable.

It's vulnerable to say, "But I tried that. But I did it. I knocked on that door and it didn't pan out." And at the same time, the word was just released and it gives us an opportunity to lean in and say, "God, where do I have to recast my net?

In what area, >> in what spaces?" And so, I'm doing a little bit of that dive in in my heart of like, "God, where do I need to recast a net? Where did I let maybe disappointment come in?" Yeah. >> Where did I let um a closed door or something that didn't work?

Right. It can be like, "Oh, but last time it didn't work." And it can feel fine. >> No one really judges you because you tried and it didn't work. And yet there's a new word. >> I don't know. And in that frame, Tori, is there anything the Lord's talking to you about?

Um I can share one, you can share one. We'll see what people are feeling online as well of just like an area like a specific area where you're like, I need to recast my net there. Yeah. Well, one thing that I was um even talking with Cass about during service was fear.

Um was fear. And then even as Alyssa was saying about cycles in our life that sometimes we're like, "Oh, this is just going to be the same thing. We're going to end 2026 in the same situation as what we did in 2025 cuz it was the same in 2024.

It was the same in 2023." But it's it's a new year and it's time to actually won. Um I I was going off on Cass about it about fear about how much fear actually steals from us that it acts as wisdom that it looks like wisdom. that actually the be or the beginning or the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and actually fear is misplaced wisdom and I feel like um some of us myself included have just been bound by fear that we're actually so afraid to cast the net on the other side that we're actually so afraid to hope again because of fear of disappointment fear of rejection fear of like what if this just doesn't end up again and I'm just in the same place but actually it's a new season and it's time for the cycles to break it's time to the us to get over fear.

It's us uh time for us to actually get over our self-p protection that often times it's our self that get in the way of the very thing that the Lord has for us. >> That's so good. Yeah. >> Did that resonate with anyone? Maybe you're watching online. You're like, you heard her say the word um self-p protection, like not partnering with that anymore, and all of a sudden you felt that like thing in your heart like, "Oh, Holy Spirit, I think you're speaking to me." >> And maybe maybe that's an area where you're called to step out.

Maybe it's something that he's asking you to do. Maybe it's just a relationship that I don't know, something happened in the middle of your relationship and um a wedge was there and you're like, I actually can't self-protect anymore. I'd rather ask for forgiveness or repair a relationship or whatever it is.

Um I could feel the anointing just even as you spoke that and I'm like, oh, that's actually something I think God's inviting us into. And self-p protection becomes our normal. It's it's like the thing that we're like, "Oh, this is safety. This is wisdom." But actually, I believe that the Lord is renewing our minds and that we're actually going to see things differently and that wisdom is about to look like true wisdom and it's not going to be rooted in self-p protection.

It's not going to be rooted in fear. And so, actually, right now, I bind the spirit of fear and we say, "No more in Jesus' name. No more can fear actually control our thought life. No longer can fear actually control the decisions that we do." That we've made decisions perpetually every year out of fear.

And that's why we get the same uh the same outcome. But the Lord is saying actually it's time to think differently. So Jesus I pray over minds that right now we silence all fear in Jesus' name. And also I wanted to go after cycles that actually today is the day where cycles break.

Today is the day where things are different. Even if it's cycles of alcoholism, even if it's cycles of um even getting in the same situation with people that it's time it's time to think differently. And so Jesus right now I speak peace over minds. I speak peace over cravings.

I speak peace over bodies. That right now is the season for change. Right now is the season for cycles to be broken in Jesus name. Yeah. Come on. And I see some of you guys are even writing in the chat um um gosh there's so many things um not partner with fear anymore.

Um I see someone saying that they want to do school but they feel scared to apply for BSSM. Um I remember asking the Lord like Lord I do not want fear to lead me. I need faith, too. And so, if you're in that space, um I see I I I don't know your actual name, but maybe that's an opportunity where you invite the Lord to say, "God, would you lead me in faith in the places that you're asking me to step into?

I might be afraid, but I'm not going to let fear lead me. I might do something scared. I might take a risk. I might take a leap of faith and do that from a place of, "Oh, that makes me nervous." But actually, I'm not going to let fear guide me because the Lord is the guide of my life.

He's the one that's leading. And um I saw someone post in the chat that um you guys are praying for family members. You're praying for family members to come back in. They are your nets this year. And for some of you, I feel like maybe there's been discouragement.

You've prayed and you've prayed. Whether it's um a lost son or a lost daughter. I I I know that um I've got friends who are walking with a strange children. And I feel like this is the year where strange children come home. And so God, would you teach us how to pray again?

That we would cast our nets for our sons and daughters, our mothers and fathers, our aunts, uncles, sisters, brothers, whoever it is that we've allowed some kind of separation or a separation happen to us. But actually, we would recast the net. we would begin to pray and ask for that to um whether the relationship needs repaired or someone to come home into the kingdom, whatever it looks like, but actually that cycle to be broken, that relationship to be restored, that we would pray again with hope, knowing anything is possible.

Anything is possible. It's a season of the harvest. It's a season of fruit that there will be fruit from this year. That you're not going to be in the same place as you are now at the end of this year. that actually it's a season of change, season of breakthrough.

Come on. >> Even in finances, I feel like there's someone um while we were in worship tonight, I was like, "Oh, I feel like there's someone um >> even like Sandy, whether it's the name um whether it's yours or a spouse, and I felt like financial breakthrough was coming."

But um whether you're Sandy or your your spouse is Sandy and you need financial breakthrough, but I feel like this is a year of financial breakthrough for us. And and I think, you know, our our God is so kind. like he's not trying to uh let us sit in lack forever.

You know, we might go through a hard season, but I'm like us sitting in lack forever that just doesn't feel congruent with his nature and who he is. And so, what does it look like for you? What does it look like for me? What does it look like for Tori to actually sit in that place and say, "God, how do I steward my finances this year?

Is there an area that I invest in? Is there an area that I save in? Is there an area that may not make sense logically, but by the spirit you're being led?" Who knows? Maybe it's an area that you actually take a leap of faith. >> That's good.

Come on. That's >> I'm like I'm ready for something different. >> Means >> we've been doing the same thing and I'm like I I'm going to keep doing the same thing. I'm going to expect a different result. Why? Because there is grace for that. >> There is grace. >> There is grace. >> There's a harvest.

Well guys, we just want to pray over you as we wrap up. Lord, I pray that you'd bless this online community. God, that you bless their minds, that you bless their bodies. And Lord, I ask for healing over those watching that are dealing with incurable diseases, that this is a new season, that this is a new day.

We declare health and wholeness over those watching that um I feel like the Lord is healing someone of cancer right now. And so we break cancer in Jesus' name. And Lord, I I pray the blood of Jesus over them, over their minds, over their bodies. Yeah. We bless them in Jesus name. >> We bless you.

And and also I just want to say because I know a couple people are posting about this in the chat. Maybe you're like I've struggled about this for a long time or I've um this has been the issue in our family or whatever it is. I want to just remind us that when a prophetic word is released is there's new grace for um what wasn't possible 20 minutes ago or what wasn't possible a month ago.

And there's actually something um that grace that life that gets released as that word is spoken. So this is what we're talking about. This is why we're saying cast the net again. If you're like, "But I've tried." Right? Totally. You have. >> You've been a good steward. And yet, he's saying, "Cast the net."

Again, could you imagine how it felt for those disciples? They were fishermen. This is what they did every day. And Jesus, the carpenter, I mean, they didn't know who it was, but he he wasn't a fisherman by trade. He's telling them how to do what felt impossible. And so, we just thank you, Lord, for what you're doing.

Guys, we hope you are encouraged. We hope that you start the year just full of faith. Yeah. >> You feel inspired by the Lord. It's going to be a good year, guys. It's going to be a good year. We love you. >> We love you. Join us for our fast this week. >> Oh, yeah.
