08:31Welcome, it's time for class.

08:59Greetings, everybody. We greet you in the name of Jesus.

09:01Welcome, first-time viewers.

09:04So glad to have you. Thank you for joining us.

09:06All right. Also, my On-Site Shepherds were my On-Site Shepherds.

09:10All right. Evangelist Melinda Vaughan, blessings unto you, woman of God.

09:13Evangelist Stephanie, pulling it down in the Southland.

09:17All right. And our own Pastor Dorothy Gatlin, blessings unto you, woman of God.

09:20Thank you for joining us and all those that are joining you as well.

09:24Thank you to my On-Site Shepherds.

09:27All right. A huge thank you to all those, again, that joined us on the weekend.

09:31What a powerful time we had.

09:33It's just a blessing to be in the midst of God's people.

09:36We've got some more coming up.

09:37I do hope you can come out tomorrow night and be with us.

09:40We'd be so blessed to be in your presence as well.

09:45In Jesus' name. All right.

09:48As you can see, we're still dealing and unpacking this privilege of presence,

09:52understanding how important your presence is.

09:55And we're just going to keep in that vein until the Lord takes us differently.

09:59And that will be coming up.

10:01All right. You know those three things I need you to do.

10:04Like, subscribe, and share.

10:09Like is good because it blesses others and helps others to see,

10:12as well as subscribing.

10:15That way you won't miss anything.

10:18All right.

10:18When you subscribe, you'll be updated with everything that's going on.

10:22And that's a blessing by itself.

10:24And then, of course, share.

10:25First of all, thank you so much.

10:27So many of you are sharing.

10:28And God is just blessing people.

10:31And we so appreciate that.

10:32So just keep up the good work to my media missionaries.

10:35Keep blessing God's people.

10:37As we said before, if it blesses you, it'll bless somebody else.

10:40And we appreciate your diligence in Jesus' name.

10:44All right.

10:45We're going to pray and go right in because I am excited and thanking God for so many

10:50are being so blessed and understanding so much more about themselves.

10:54And we are just excited for the word of God for you and your family and your household.

11:00As the word says, as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.

11:05So let's pray and go right in in Jesus' name.

11:08Spirit of the living God, we are so grateful for this opportunity to share the word of God

11:13and that you are teaching us all things according to your will and your word.

11:18Thank you for what we're about to receive.

11:20We bless and thank you in advance.

11:23We receive all that you have for us in Jesus' mighty name.

11:27Amen and amen.

11:29All right.

11:30So if you missed anything, all you got to do is go back and watch the video.

11:33We don't want you to miss anything because it's such an important topic.

11:36And one thought always leads to another and you bring it all together.

11:40And it really makes for a full course meal that God is feeding your spirit.

11:45Praise God.

11:47Again, your presence, your presence.

11:50It's just powerful.

11:52And I'm just really asking the Holy Spirit to even help me to bring it out even more because

11:59the revelation of your presence really needs to get into your spirit in such a manner that

12:05this thing will explode in you and you'll start really walking even greater and greater dominion

12:12as we continue in this study.

12:14So, yes, your presence is like spiritual gravity.

12:18OK, and your calm is so important because you can feel the calm of your presence.

12:25Your calm is louder, OK, than their chaos.

12:31And that is so important.

12:32Your stillness, it's like sacred and solid ground.

12:36And this is so important.

12:38Listen, God knows exactly what he's doing.

12:41You know, no one came in your life that God didn't know about.

12:45You know, you are the evidence of destiny, as we said that before.

12:51And so many asked me to repeat it again because it's so important.

12:54You're living proof.

12:55You are the evidence of destiny.

12:57Your presence makes it very hard for people to come and stay around you and be fake and

13:04be counterfeit and lie and do those things.

13:09Your presence really causes that to be a problem for people who are not honest.

13:14All right.

13:15Your discomfort.

13:17That's not your problem.

13:19This is not about vengeance or getting back.

13:22You don't have to do that.

13:23That's not even part of who you are.

13:26All right.

13:27One of the most wonderful things you'll learn is that this is not anything you have to do

13:34back at anybody or anyone.

13:36Your presence does it all.

13:39Your presence does it all.

13:44This is what we want you to get it.

13:46When anyone who dishonors, well, dishonor itself always comes at a cost to whoever is doing

13:54that.

13:56When someone disregards you as God, one whose God is chosen, they're going to pay the cost

14:03for that.

14:03That's not anything for you to concern yourself with.

14:06That's what's so wonderful about it.

14:08All right.

14:09You were never about just someone's friend or someone's spouse.

14:15I mean, these parts of life come so common to us.

14:19We don't even see the hand of God in that.

14:21And his hand is very much in that.

14:24His hand is very much in your friendships and your circles and your spouses.

14:29You know, it's never just by chance, so to speak.

14:35All right.

14:36Your presence was a divine appointment, an assignment, if you will, that a lot of folk cannot

14:44handle.

14:46And they don't want to.

14:47They refuse to see from their own issues.

14:52They refuse to see and not realizing that what God does, it's really to bless them.

15:01Their connection to you was hopefully to bless them, but they didn't see that.

15:07It was to awaken their purpose and help them align themselves or align their life with their

15:17purpose here in the earth.

15:20And your presence, like a mirror, was to help them to see that.

15:25But unfortunately, they rejected the very thing, the very one that God would use to bless their

15:33life.

15:33Your presence is healing for some.

15:40For others, it's exposure.

15:43Some are ready for the truth, okay?

15:46And others are just not, okay?

15:50You, however, never have to retaliate.

15:54And I emphasize that because sometimes it just feels like people are so rude and so abusive

15:59and we just kind of feel just totally stepped on and trampled on and you know, you're just

16:05being humble and you, you know, doing what you believe God would have you to do.

16:09You're not about making scenes and getting back and revenge and all those.

16:13And sometimes it really does feel like you're just being messed over.

16:17I have felt like, okay, God, you know, gee, you let this, you know, happen and so on and

16:23so forth.

16:23We don't really fully even understand why certain things happen.

16:27And yeah, we tend to blame God probably more than what we really are willing to admit.

16:33But however, we do understand that what God has done in us, it's still in the process of

16:41coming out, of unfolding, of manifesting, and God, of course, is not true with us yet.

16:48But so that you know that, you know, things are not just happening to you or just messing

16:54you over or just, you know, people abusing and because sometimes it really does feel like

16:59that and it's like, okay, where's God in this, you know, and you do feel kind of messed

17:04over and, you know, kind of alone, so to speak.

17:07So I want to share, I want to add a scripture as well, Isaiah 43, I want to add Isaiah chapter

17:1443 and verse 2 as we go a little deeper here into understanding that your presence is a

17:22privilege.

17:23And when people abuse that, they're not really, they think it's something they're doing to

17:29you, but it's a much bigger picture.

17:31Isaiah says, when you go through deep waters, I will be with you.

17:37When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown.

17:42When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned.

17:48The flames will not consume you.

17:51And so we have to take the word as the foundation and hold fast to that when we are going through

17:58these situations with people, with loved ones, with family, with coworkers, you know, with

18:05neighbors, whatever the situation is, we do take that humble position to, we want to represent

18:11the kingdom of God and we want to not misrepresent the realm of God.

18:16And so sometimes it's very difficult because you do feel like people are just walking over,

18:22taking advantage and all the things that people tend to do.

18:25And we really don't always feel God's presence in the midst of these things, but you have

18:32to hold on to the word of God.

18:34It's got to be more about word than feelings, because if we stick with only the feelings,

18:40then we will just, you know, throw up our hands.

18:43But if you understand the word is far greater than our feelings, then that's how we get through

18:50those situations, but never think that, you know, people are just running over you and

18:56walking free about it.

18:57Uh, you, you, what you need to do is just keep healing, keep growing, keep becoming, okay.

19:05Hold fast to your boundaries.

19:07Okay.

19:08Because your boundaries, even as you're going through these things, your boundaries become

19:13more defined and we really do need to be definite about our boundaries.

19:18Okay.

19:19Uh, your, your soul will refuse to bow to bitterness as you hold fast to what you know is right.

19:30Now your, your boundaries are also divine filters.

19:34They will filter out who needs to be in your presence and who should not be.

19:39And that's why boundaries are so important.

19:41And you set your boundaries and then you hold fast to them.

19:46Don't compromise.

19:47Just know that those boundaries of it, people need to know what your boundaries are.

19:54All right.

19:55Because this is how, uh, we begin to, uh, you know, draw, draw the line.

20:02And, and, and, uh, again, when you have no boundaries, there's always someone who's going

20:08to challenge you anyway, those boundaries will help people not to be so quick to cross the

20:14line.

20:14All right.

20:15But again, God has a whole method of, of, uh, that's set in place and it's very well functioning

20:24and alive.

20:24All right.

20:25And so when people again, misuse and abuse your presence that God has placed in their lives.

20:34And I emphasize that because we just think that, you know, it's common.

20:38We don't think that it's a move of God, that someone's in our life or that we're in someone's

20:44life.

20:44Nothing happens in your life that God doesn't know about that.

20:48He hasn't been strategically working in your life.

20:54And, and no one, it's not just a coincidence.

20:56It doesn't just happen.

20:58And I think it's very important for us to know that because this is why, when we understand

21:04our presence, see, when God steps in, you know, you have a better understanding of why,

21:12okay.

21:12Your absence wasn't just removed.

21:17It wasn't even about people just losing your absence only, but they lost a vital covering

21:23that you were for their life and, and they treated it, you know, again, like it's an

21:29entitlement, especially people who think they know you family members, so on, you know, they

21:34think they're really entitled to be in your presence.

21:37And I'm, you know, really going to continue to just sound the alarm that no one is entitled

21:44to your presence.

21:46Your presence carries something more than just you or just your body, your flesh and bones.

21:52This is a much greater realm that we've got to start understanding.

21:56All right.

21:58People bring, you know, such grief in your life.

22:01Well, they're not just grieving you.

22:03They're grieving the Holy Spirit as well.

22:05And we understand the scriptures very clear, grieve, not the Holy Spirit.

22:09So that's not just you, you know, suppressing him or holding back on him, but that's when

22:15people also grieve the Holy Spirit because of your presence being in their life.

22:22God strategically allowed them to have access to you and they're abusing it.

22:27They're misusing it.

22:28They don't understand your presence.

22:31And the best thing I can do is to first make you aware of the importance and the power of

22:38your presence.

22:39You see, when we ignore it and don't understand it, how will people understand it or come to

22:45know it?

22:45So this is something I believe God is saying over and over again in our spirit, in my spirit,

22:52in your spirit, that your presence is very important.

22:56And it's time for us to really start taking notice.

23:00Your presence is honored.

23:03It's to be honored, not used, not abused.

23:08When honor is removed, so is your presence.

23:14When someone dishonors you, they cannot appreciate.

23:17You see, we keep trying to patch up and make things work.

23:22And again, when God says enough, then there's nothing that you're going to do to make that

23:29relationship or make that situation come back together.

23:32Because again, you're not dealing just with you.

23:36Know ye not that you are the temple of God, of the true and living God, of the very spirit

23:42of the living God.

23:43You're not just of yourself.

23:45And so God has a say-so in who is in your life and who is also removed.

23:53All right.

23:53And so God, he preserves and he protects you in ways that I don't know that we fully understand

24:01yet.

24:01Your presence doesn't, it doesn't attack people.

24:06They feel like it is, but it's what it's doing is it's exposing.

24:11You carry the power of truth.

24:14The weight of glory is upon you.

24:16And that can be very, you know, rough for someone who just refuses to do what is right.

24:22They won't do what they're supposed to.

24:24They're not, you know, yet they want to be around you.

24:28But then they have all these problems that they need to deal with and they won't.

24:34All right.

24:35And so your presence is going to shine in the midst of darkness.

24:39That's what it's to do.

24:40Again, you are the light, you know, you're not, we got to receive this for what it says.

24:48You are the light.

24:49Your presence is going to shine on darkness and it's going to create a reflection.

24:55It's going to cause them to see things about themselves that they don't like.

24:59And again, you're not the problem.

25:01You're a mirror and folk are going to have to understand that.

25:05And I'm saying you got to understand it first so that you won't feel bad so that you won't

25:11stand and hang around for further abuse because that is what people will do.

25:17All right.

25:17Again, John chapter one and five, John one says, and the light shines where in darkness.

25:27So people that are, you know, in darkness, and can I say this?

25:33It doesn't matter whether they confess salvation or being saved.

25:37Sometimes those who are confessing salvation are the worst offenders.

25:42OK, and, you know, we got to start understanding that we must not shrink ourselves, you know,

25:50trying to help people feel better about it.

25:53No, if they're, you know, in darkness that your light needs to shine and they need to see

25:59it, whether they like it or not.

26:00Again, it's not your problem.

26:02That's with them.

26:04All right.

26:05He says, and the light shines in darkness and what the dark, darkness comprehended it not.

26:09And I mean, OK, even Jesus, OK, had problems with people accepting him.

26:16The stone, the builders rejected.

26:18We know the scripture where it simply he told his disciples, look, they're not just rejecting

26:23you.

26:24It's me that they're rejecting.

26:26And so we need to know that that is going to be a part of our very mission is to understand

26:32that there are people that are going to reject us.

26:35And then there are those who will honor.

26:37And we'll get to that later.

26:38People, you know, love your crown, but they reject your cross.

26:43They see your value and not your costs.

26:46They see wisdom, but they deny your wounds.

26:49They, you know, envy your outcome and ignore the process that it takes to get to be who you

26:55are.

26:56And this is so much of a problem.

26:59And can I say it's more in the body of Christ than anywhere else?

27:04Because I have dealt with folk who are, you know, sinners who have not confessed, unbelievers.

27:09And, you know, you can get a word in edgewise and they'll listen even if they don't.

27:14But, you know, believers who think they know everything already and they've been saved for so many years

27:21and have not done what it takes to, you know, salvation doesn't stop at your confession.

27:27It is an ongoing process.

27:29And so many who have not ventured to go further are living at just scraping the surface.

27:36And anyone who's deeper than that, it becomes a problem for them.

27:40All right.

27:41All right.

27:42And so Luke 9 and 23, I want to skip over the scriptures.

27:46I'll have a few of them, only a few, because I'm really, you know, want to put emphasis

27:52on what God is saying in his word.

27:55But Luke chapter 9 and verse 23 talks about how you have to deny yourself and take up your

28:01cross and follow.

28:03And many don't want to do that.

28:04It looks good.

28:06It sounds good.

28:07Oh, you know, we can rehearse and memorize these scriptures.

28:11But when it comes to doing, you know, knowing them is not doing them.

28:16And that I've learned.

28:17There are plenty of things that I came to know and didn't do right away.

28:21And just because people know scriptures doesn't mean they do them.

28:26And so this is, listen, your strength, the strength you have, it didn't come from being seen.

28:34It came from being sent.

28:37God sent you into that situation.

28:39God sent you to help them.

28:41God sent you to that family, to that workplace, to those people.

28:45And when they rejected and didn't receive it, that wasn't just you.

28:50They were rejecting and receiving the Lord himself.

28:54So whoever comes against you, they've already lost.

28:58Because who are they coming against?

29:00God?

29:00Really?

29:02Okay.

29:02Their fight is not against you.

29:04It's against God.

29:05You are not just chosen.

29:08You are protected.

29:09And even though it feels like you're being trampled on and messed around, don't worry.

29:13God got this.

29:14He got you.

29:16You have to stay focused and stay in your pathway of righteousness.

29:21And I know people can mess over you and make you feel really bad and second class and all that stuff.

29:26But you are to stay focused and don't allow that to make you think any less than what God has already put in your spirit.

29:36All right?

29:36And so know beyond a shadow of a doubt, you walk with forces that eyes cannot see, ears cannot hear.

29:45And you have the authority that cannot be ignored, especially in the spirit realm.

29:51And we're still dealing with the natural side of dealing with people.

29:55We still have to enter into what your presence does in the unseen world, your aura, and all these areas that we really have to cover as God takes us and walks us through this journey of better understanding our presence.

30:13You're not just chosen, you are protected by God Almighty, by the Lord of hosts, by the angelic angel armies.

30:23You walk with forces that cannot be seen, okay?

30:27And this is so powerful because God knows exactly where he sends you.

30:32He's not going to send you where he cannot protect you.

30:36And so wherever he sends you, he's covering you, he's blessing you, he's protecting you.

30:41He takes care of you.

30:42He will not forsake his own glory to God.

30:48And when you look at things like, you know, backbiting and envy and jealousy, I've come to find out envy consumes its own source.

30:58It is self-destructive.

31:00And that's why you never have to bite back, clap back, vengeance.

31:05You don't need any of that because these things are self-destructive.

31:09And people who carry these things in, that is self-destructive.

31:14That is what they're doing.

31:16You're covered by some so great that you will never need revenge.

31:25You won't ever need it.

31:27That's how great the covering is over you.

31:30You walk with divine justice.

31:34You are God's sacred territory.

31:39And when we get into this unseen realm, you're going to realize how much it really matters to the spirit world, your presence.

31:49More than we could ever explain to you, glory to God.

31:56Their attack coming against you.

32:01Seriously?

32:03That's like an umbrella.

32:05I heard the illustration.

32:07That's like an umbrella in a hurricane.

32:11You know how ineffective an umbrella is in a hurricane.

32:16Okay?

32:16We just saw the horrible destruction of the hurricane there in Jamaica in that area.

32:22Imagine what a umbrella would have done in the midst of that.

32:27That's what you need to see your protection as.

32:30You never need revenge when you have revelation.

32:34This is revelation knowledge that's flooding your soul so that you can walk in the power of your presence.

32:43Glory to God.

32:44You are a vessel of purpose.

32:47All right?

32:47Trespassing against you is like trespassing against God.

32:52God's purpose for you will stand no matter what anyone says or does or even tries.

32:59And believe me, the enemy will still use.

33:02He's got all sorts of things that he will continue to try and come against.

33:06And one of the things I want you to understand, especially as you're receiving this awakening in your spirit,

33:12because the enemy, he doesn't care so much about those who's sleeping.

33:16He don't bother with them.

33:18It's those who are awakening those that are sleeping.

33:21That's the one that he's very concerned about and wants to come after.

33:25And so surely you have the divine protection of God Almighty.

33:31And that you need to know because your presence means that much to God.

33:35Let me read another scripture, Isaiah 54 and 10.

33:39I mean, I want you to see how important, how powerful your presence is to God.

33:44Isaiah 54 and verse 10.

33:46I'm reading NLT, the New Living Translation.

33:52It says, for mountains may move and hills disappear.

33:57But even then, my faithful love for you will remain.

34:04My covenant of blessing will never be broken, says the Lord, who has mercy on you.

34:13So know beyond a shadow of a doubt that your presence is just that important.

34:18He said he will never break covenant.

34:20He will always cover and take care of you.

34:23You're in covenant, glory to God.

34:26You're not, it's not just the connection.

34:28It's a covenant.

34:30You now know that being set apart, it's not glamorous.

34:38It's very costly.

34:39Your presence brings fresh energy, but it also exposes evil energy.

34:50You walk not in bitterness because you don't have to.

34:54You don't need to have to worry about pride because you are always walking in intentional humility.

35:02Okay?

35:02And all of this is under divine stewardship.

35:06You are stewarding yourself.

35:09You are monitoring your behavior.

35:11You are dealing with the levels of discipline that the spirit of God is working inside you.

35:17You know how to protect your presence and your peace and honor the presence and peace in others.

35:26Glory to God.

35:27God, you don't just speak truth.

35:31You live it.

35:32When you live it, you become it.

35:35You are it.

35:36All right?

35:37This is so important.

35:39These are daily confessions.

35:40If you need to say them over and over again, say it to yourself because God is going to be doing something great in his people.

35:47He's going to be moving very powerfully through his people.

35:51And you need to be able to step up to the mark and know that you cannot fail because God never fails.

36:00Love never fails.

36:01God is love.

36:03And you have God.

36:04You have the love of God.

36:06Therefore, you can walk in full faith of what God is doing in your life.

36:11Praise the name of Jesus.

36:13Glory to God.

36:14So you keep your presence wise.

36:17Your heart guarded.

36:20We'll get to that scripture, how you know you got to guard your heart and your time rooted in truth.

36:29Not people's performances.

36:33Treat your time and your presence like currency, like it's money, valuable currency.

36:39It's sacred currency.

36:42Your time is important.

36:44Think about how much time can be lost in foolishness and unnecessary conversations and confrontations and things like that to keep you in a place where you're not properly stewarding yourself, steward your energy, stewarding your emotions.

37:06That's coming up.

37:06We've got a powerful teaching that we will continue because God is preparing us for something far greater, I think, than what we can even imagine.

37:15Eyes have not seen.

37:17Ears have not heard.

37:18Neither has it entered into the hearts of men.

37:20The things that God will do through us.

37:23It's through us he will do these things.

37:26And we need to be equipped and ready.

37:28When God says move, we need to be able to move.

37:30Your presence, again, is like unto a moment of quiet obedience, not a big performance.

37:38God just needs your obedience.

37:41Never apologize for the weight of presence that you carry.

37:45Okay?

37:46God chose you for that.

37:48You can carry the weight of this presence.

37:50This thing is so powerful that you don't have to make explanations and explain yourself and carry them.

37:57God is going to give you even deeper revelation, even deeper knowledge.

38:01And those things are not going to be for everybody.

38:04So you're going to have to be careful who you spend your time with, who you try and share.

38:10Make sure you stay at a level of the unction of the Holy Spirit because certain things are not going to be ready.

38:17Certain people are not ready for certain things.

38:19And, again, we shared with you the last time we were together that you're not to give, you know, the pearls to the swines.

38:26Don't give good things to dogs.

38:28The swines will trample on it and then turn against you.

38:32Again, people that you really put so much into become the very turncoats that come against you.

38:37And you have to kind of be more aware of your presence and what it brings out in people.

38:44And I don't know that we really get that.

38:45All right, I'm going to just throw Proverbs 4 for now, but we'll go deeper into it as we continue in this study.

38:54Because moving from understanding the realm of your presence will take us into this realm of our emotions.

39:04Oh, I can't say enough about our emotions.

39:07They are so important and they are so powerful.

39:10They have been so misused and abused.

39:12The enemy knows that.

39:13Of course, he would come after and pull and tug after those areas that we call emotions.

39:20Oh, my goodness.

39:21I can't say enough about it.

39:23We need to deal with the fact that so much of our energy, of our revelation, of the things that God is doing in us,

39:34it can be robbed through a moment of emotions.

39:39Just a moment.

39:40That's all it takes.

39:41And I don't know that we really pay as much attention to those things that, you know, can trigger certain moods and, you know, impulse, those areas in us.

39:59And we want to study and show you what those, why did God give us such strong emotions?

40:07Glory to God.

40:09You know, anger is a strong emotion.

40:12I mean, that thing is disruptive if you're not able to control it and deal with it.

40:17Love, all these passionate emotions, you know, sadness, depression.

40:24These are, listen, these things are becoming so prominent in our day and age and the time that we're in.

40:31We can't ignore these things.

40:33We can't, you know, act as though they're not there and just, well, it was just a moment or I just flew off or that they know how I am.

40:43And they shouldn't have done that.

40:44We can't leave it at that.

40:46We cannot leave it at that.

40:47The spirit of the living God is teaching you how to have dominion over your inner gates.

40:54Your inner gates, the gates to your emotions, the gates to your feelings, those inner parts, those hidden things,

41:02those areas that are in the corridors of our soul where we have not, you know, really ventured into deep enough to learn and find out what's going on inside of me.

41:16Why is this affecting me?

41:18Why am I still dealing with this after all these years?

41:22Why do I still allow this person to get next to me, to, you know, preoccupy my thoughts and my thinking?

41:32What is going on inside of me?

41:35And why do I keep allowing the same disruptive things to happen over and over again when I know what it is, I've experienced it, I've been there, that what's going on with me?

41:49Listen, that's, it's got to be the next area that the Holy Spirit wants to confront.

41:55It is a major teaching.

41:57It's a major lesson.

41:58I've been in it for weeks now and have been waiting for the Lord to release it because this is something that we don't understand the strength and the power of these emotions, of the power that, that really rests within us.

42:15And so as we now have been very conscious of our presence, we must venture into what our emotions can do, watch this, or have done to our presence and how we can absolutely take charge.

42:37You know, most attacks never come from distant enemies, but from those that are in close proximity to you.

42:50And the enemy knows that.

42:53And again, this is something that we don't talk about enough.

42:56I think that we're trying to make it common ground when those are some of the most disruptive behaviors that can come in our life.

43:06Now, if you become more conscious and more aware of it and realize, okay, the scripture says, this is what the scripture says, that we've been seated, made to be seated in heavenly places.

43:23Well, then if we're in heavenly places, the enemy cannot be thrown your place in the heavenly realm of God.

43:33So he's got to, you know, he's got to go for distracting and bringing you to a lower level.

43:41He's got to get you from that higher level and bring you to a lower place to where he can actually begin to really go after what he knows are areas in you that can be easily touched, that can be easily tormented.

44:00Oh, God is revealing and exposing these things.

44:05And we are going to venture in.

44:07This is going to be an area that we will starting Sunday morning.

44:11Now, it's going to go for a while, but it's going to be worth it because this is an area of the spirit of God saying we must impose and expose these areas that have, you know, you know, I've heard it said, you're no sicker than your secrets.

44:28And the more we hide and protect things, thinking that we're protecting ourselves, we're really only protecting spirits that are there, they hide, they're in disguise.

44:42We think that they're okay and not realizing that they are very destructive and disruptive to our life, to our presence and to our walk with the Lord.

44:52Glory to God.

44:53God, the enemy seeks after, but look, he cannot touch your purpose.

45:00So what's he do?

45:02He touches your emotions.

45:05And that's an area that we must deal with.

45:08The scripture is very clear when it says, guard your heart.

45:12He says, above all things.

45:14I like the NLT.

45:15It says, above all things, above everything that you're, you know, protecting and guard.

45:21He says, guard your heart.

45:22What's he talking about?

45:23Your mind, your soul is well, your emotions, your feelings, those areas that can be so easily touched and disruptive and destructive.

45:35So many people just don't even realize the power of it.

45:39And God wants to redirect that power in the way that it was created for us.

45:46God wouldn't give us something that is so powerful that will destroy us.

45:51But if we don't know the purpose of it, why he has given it to, why are these emotions so strong and so powerful?

45:59Because we have not touched the truth of why we have them, why they exist.

46:05All we know them for is our natural fleshly emotional realm.

46:10But the spirit of God is revealing and exposing that it goes far more deeper than that.

46:18Your emotional infiltration is the most subtle form of spiritual warfare.

46:26Now, I'm going to say that again.

46:27I want you to write it down because when we start, we are going to take off Sunday morning into an area that is going to, your eyes are going to be so open.

46:35You're going to have such clarity in your spirit.

46:38I'm telling you, this thing is going to explode inside of you and you are going to see your emotions, your feelings in a way, in a light that you've never seen before.

46:48We've got to realize they're too powerful to be used only the way we use them.

46:54That can't be the only reason why God gave us such powerful realm as these things called emotions.

47:06So again, emotional infiltration is the most subtle form of spiritual warfare.

47:16It is so subtle that most don't even realize even now it's taking place.

47:23Again, emotional infiltration.

47:28When something against you and against your spirit infiltrates your mind, your soulish realm, your feelings, your emotions, it's a very subtle form of warfare against you taking place.

47:45And when you don't have the kind of awareness that we should have had from the beginning, these things should have been taught.

47:53But I guess now is the time that the revelation is ready.

47:57It takes levels of maturity.

47:59Let me tell you something.

48:00Everybody is not going to get this.

48:01Some are going to get upset.

48:02Some would rather not hear it.

48:04But you know what?

48:04Those who can receive it, I promise you, you will step in such a level of frequency where you will hear God in ways you've never heard.

48:14You will begin to see what you've not seen before.

48:17Hear what you have not heard before.

48:20Trust the word of God.

48:22It's far greater than what we've made.

48:24Religion has reduced the things of God, and the things of God are so powerful that we don't understand what we have.

48:33No wonder the scripture says so many powerful things, and it's all we can do to grasp it and believe it.

48:40But we're going to go there in Jesus' name.

48:42The enemy doesn't attack because you're weak, but because he seeks a weaker place of entry, and because all of you is not weak, you're not totally weak.

48:59Absolutely not.

49:00But he knows that place of entry, and it's right in the realm of the emotions, the soulish realm, the corridors of the soul.

49:11Ezekiel said, as the Lord was speaking to him, son of man, have you seen what goes on in the corridors, in the deep parts of the soulish realm, of the mind?

49:26These things are fully scriptural.

49:30We will walk you through it step by step so that you can begin to utilize this power.

49:36The enemy tries to make us weak and feeble with something that God gave us for power and demonstration, and that's where we have to go with that.

49:48I'll say it again.

49:50Emotional infiltration is the most subtle form of spiritual warfare.

49:56It goes on without us even knowing it, but that's about to change.

50:03Again, the word of God, guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life.

50:13That's the word of God.

50:15Proverbs 4 and 23.

50:17I'll give it to you now, but when we come back, we're going to start out, okay?

50:21Sunday morning, fresh, you need to be ready.

50:24Get a fresh start.

50:25Be ready because this thing is going to set you in such a place where you've never been before.

50:31So, again, Proverbs 4 and 23, it says, guard your heart above all else.

50:36Why is he?

50:37What's he saying to us?

50:39Guard your mind, your soulish realm.

50:41Remember we said the Bible, when it uses the realm heart, it's not talking about your fleshy beating heart.

50:47It's talking about your heart, your mind, your soul, because that is the heart of your being.

50:52It is the controlling entity.

50:55It is how you move, live, and glory to God, go forth.

50:59So, the heart, guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life.

51:09Can you understand that?

51:10That if you don't deal with the power of this mind, the mind is the most powerful entity in the earth.

51:18There's nothing greater than everything that we have in this world of ours has come through the mind, the soulish realm, the mind, the emotional realm.

51:29The power of our very creation rests within our mind, our heart, and we are going to venture into it in a manner that I don't think you've ever been before.

51:41And you will begin to see that the power of those emotions, we have been using them for the wrong thing.

51:50We have not mastered and taken control of them because we don't understand them.

51:54We don't realize why we even have them.

51:58But God will reveal by his spirit because it's not by our power nor by our might, but by his spirit, by Holy Spirit, says the Lord.

52:09So, I'm going to stop there.

52:11I pray that you will just allow this to work in your spirit.

52:15Just begin again with Proverbs 4, make that a point.

52:19We'll start back with that.

52:20But from understanding our presence and how to protect our presence, we go into the realm of this place called These Emotions, and it will be a most powerful revelation.

52:32I assure you that it will change your life forever.

52:37Spirit of the living God, we thank you now for revelation knowledge.

52:41We thank you for this word.

52:43It is totally, your word is a lamp unto our feet.

52:46It is a light unto our pathway.

52:48It leads and guides us, and we thank you now that this journey, this pathway that you're about to take us on will totally renew and revive and bring forth the mighty demonstration of your power.

53:02Glory to God in Jesus' mighty name.

53:05We thank you for it.

53:06We call it done, and it is so in Jesus' name.

53:10I so look forward to our time together.

53:12Again, I look forward to those that will come out and join us on tomorrow evening as we begin, again, a subject that only God could bring for his people.

53:22And I'm so grateful for the word that is changing lives forever.

53:28I look forward to our time together.

53:30I will see you then in Jesus' name.

53:32God bless.
