07:27For details go to wordupinc.org and click on Upcoming Events.
08:01We hope to see you there.
08:03Welcome, Daddy James.
08:06All right, greetings.
08:07We greet you in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
08:10Welcome.
08:11This is Masterclass.
08:12Welcome to Masterclass.
08:13Welcome, first-time viewers.
08:14We're so glad to have you and each and every one of you that are joining us.
08:17It's time for class.
08:19And we're also looking forward now to Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement.
08:25We are counting.
08:27We're in the 10 days of awe, the counting of 10 days from Rosh Hashanah up until the Day of
08:33Atonement, which is Monday.
08:34It's a very special time, and we want to read scripture and make sure that we are aware of the
08:42Lord's Feast.
08:43The season of the Lord is here.
08:46Praise God.
08:47I want to start out with Leviticus, chapter 23 and verse 27.
08:53And those of you that are following along, you might want to write it down because, again, these are the
08:57Lord's Feast.
08:59And we want to observe and pay attention because it's a very special time of year.
09:05Leviticus 23 and 27 says this.
09:26So Yom Kippur is really the only time where the Bible really, where the Word of God really commands us
09:34to fast, to consecrate that day.
09:36And it really helps us to, again, align ourselves with the Lord and what he is doing for this season,
09:44for this time.
09:45It's a good understanding of the scope of the payment that Jesus paid for our sins, the Day of Atonement.
09:53In English, that's what it means, atonement.
09:56In Hebrew, of course, it's Yom Kippur.
09:59The Hebrew word Kippur means to cover.
10:02The word atonement is also meaning to cover.
10:06According comes about this time of year.
10:09And Yom Kippur is really a very solemn time of year.
10:13It's a time of fasting.
10:14It's a time like these 10 days you would want to be consecrating before the Lord.
10:20You want to be repenting, you know, searching yourself, going through your very, I call it a soul check.
10:28You want to do a soul check to search yourselves.
10:31It's likened on to the time when the high priests would go into the Holy of Holies.
10:36They would adorn themselves in white.
10:38And it's this particular feast that, again, we'll be observing on Sunday.
10:43I do hope that you're making plans to be with us.
10:47It's a very special time.
10:49So many miss the seasons of the Lord.
10:51And these seasons will bless the rest of your year if you would simply obey and observe what God has
10:58given us.
10:59You know, in Corinthians, it says he was made sin for us and that we might be the righteousness.
11:05We made the righteousness of God.
11:08And so when we understand what Jesus did, the price that he paid so that we could be saved and
11:15be what we are today, it's something that we should observe.
11:18We should honor it and bless God, pay attention to it.
11:22All right.
11:23Also, just a couple of more scriptures I'll share with you as we're in preparation and as we are to
11:29meet on Sunday.
11:30Of course, Saturday, I'll also be there with Without Walls, Bishop and Pastor Lucky.
11:38So I do hope that you're planning to join us as we are celebrating this season of the Lord.
11:45All right.
11:46So, again, Leviticus 23, it also goes on to say you shall do no manner of work.
11:51It shall be a statute forever.
11:53It shall be a time of observance unto the Lord.
11:57It's also a time of confession and forgiveness.
12:00You know, Psalm says that I acknowledge my sin unto you, Lord.
12:03My iniquity have I not hid.
12:06I said I will confess my transgression unto the Lord.
12:10And he forgave all my iniquities and sin.
12:14So it's a time to confess, you know, come clean, as you would say, and really just get rid of
12:20those burdens and things that we carry and realize that this is the time where you really just release it
12:27unto the Lord.
12:28It's a very important time for forgiveness.
12:31You know, the scripture in Proverbs, it says that he that covers his sin shall not prosper.
12:36And I do believe a lot of times our problem with prosperity is because we're not repenting.
12:42We're not dealing with ourselves.
12:44And so this is a serious time of the year for you to simply confess those sins before the Lord.
12:51And scripture even says confess one to another.
12:54If you have someone that is compassionate enough to pray with you and agree with you, then you can do
13:00that.
13:01As Ephesians says, we're to confess our faults and our sins one to another.
13:06That also goes on to say, be tenderhearted and forgiving one to another.
13:11This is just a serious time for us to, again, obey the scriptures of the Lord and understand that, you
13:19know,
13:19when you do that, there is therefore no condemnation unto those who are in Christ Jesus.
13:24And so it's something that you want to pay attention to.
13:27It's something that you know what's going on inside of you.
13:31No one else does, but you know.
13:33All right.
13:34And then Deuteronomy says, everyone shall give as he is able.
13:37Everyone shall give as he is able according to the blessings of the Lord, your God, which he has given
13:45unto you.
13:45So it's a very special time to bring a gift unto the Lord and to honor the Lord, honor what
13:52he has done for you.
13:53Exodus 23 says, and none shall appear before me empty.
13:58In other words, what God has blessed you with is a wonderful time to simply bless him, bless the Lord
14:05as he has blessed you.
14:06And this is a very serious time about giving as well, because in Matthew, it says, therefore, if you bring
14:13your gift to the altar and there you remember your brother has art against you,
14:19leave your gift before the altar and go your way.
14:23First, be reconciled, if at all possible.
14:25I know sometimes it is not possible.
14:27OK, and Roman says that, you know, if it is at all possible, as much as it lies within you
14:34to make peace with them, then you can.
14:36But I know always it doesn't.
14:39And but you do what you can and God will take care of what you can't.
14:43And so I think it's very important to understand this time that we recognize and honor God in our giving,
14:50honor God in our confessions.
14:52Deuteronomy picks it up and says, and now, behold, I have brought the first fruit of the land which you,
14:59O Lord, have given me and you shall set it before the Lord, your God.
15:04And then what? Worship before the Lord, your God.
15:08And so it's a beautiful time of worship and recognition unto the Lord.
15:13Monday, because Monday is the day of atonement.
15:16That's the day that you'll want to fast again, six to six, according to, you know, your abilities to do
15:24so.
15:24Your health situation must be, you know, consider don't do anything that's going to be against your health.
15:31But Monday is the fast day.
15:33It is the one time that the scripture actually says you will fast on this particular season.
15:38So as we come together on Sunday, we'll certainly give more information.
15:43We'll share more about this beautiful season of atonement, whereas we come before the Lord and God will bless you
15:51as you are blessing him in Jesus name.
15:54Spirit of living God, we thank you for the word of God that we're about to receive.
15:58We honor you and all our doing and all our giving.
16:01We thank you for it in advance.
16:03We call it done.
16:04And it is so.
16:05So I bring before you this wonderful Kairos time.
16:09It's the Lord's time.
16:11It's the Lord's season.
16:12And Kairos, that is the definition of it, is simply God's specific time.
16:18It's a time.
16:19It's a God time.
16:20All right.
16:21And it's different from our time.
16:22God's time is not the same as our time.
16:26And so we are paying attention now because we're in a Kairos moment.
16:32We're in a Kairos season, the Lord's season, the eternity of God's timing.
16:40All right.
16:41And so it interrupts man's timing because his timing will be preeminent over our timing, which
16:49is so wonderful because God is the only one that's able to interrupt and bring forth what
16:55needs to happen in your life.
16:57God's disappointed time.
16:59It's a time of favor.
17:01It's a time of opportunity.
17:03It's a moment of a divine purpose that God has for you.
17:07And so we want to pay attention to this season of the Lord, this, the season of the Lord's
17:13feast.
17:15All right.
17:15So again, we're in a Kairos time.
17:18It's not an earthly time, not like earthly clocks, you know, that measure hours and seconds
17:24and days.
17:25But no, this is God's special time.
17:29It's a fleeting moment.
17:30And you seize the moment, seize the time when eternity actually breaks through our human
17:38earthly dwellings, representing an open door to a critical window of faith that has been
17:49tested.
17:50When God has tested your faith, then you are ready to enter in a Kairos moment.
17:55It's like I said, a moment that only God can bring forth.
17:59It interrupts the seasons and the times, like the feast of the Lord interrupts everything
18:04because it's all about his timing right now.
18:07It's a sudden sense of transformation, and his presence becomes far more prominent.
18:17When you pay attention, his presence will feel like he's just right there with you closer
18:22than ever before.
18:24And this is, again, it's a Kairos time.
18:28It's God's time of what's already done.
18:32That's why I said, when you pray, you pray, our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy
18:37name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven, as it already is in
18:44heaven.
18:45And so this Kairos time is God's time of what's already done in heaven.
18:51And we bring that into this earthly realm, in heaven as it is, okay, earth as it already
18:58is in heaven.
18:59And as you begin to, again, pay attention to this season, the feast of the Lord, it's a
19:06time when God draws nigh unto you.
19:08You draw nigh unto him, yes, but he also draws nigh unto you.
19:13Now, we've been talking about the realm of the supernatural to make us aware of how we've
19:20been created and that we are created for the supernatural realm of God almighty.
19:25It is not about the fleshly realm.
19:27It's certainly not about any kind of religion.
19:30It is about the realm of God and him only.
19:33As I said, we're really also, I hope we understand when I said that, listen, you're in a season
19:42of learning, of knowledge.
19:43Daniel talks about the time would come where men and women would go to and fro and obtain,
19:51increase knowledge.
19:53That's so important.
19:54If ever we need to hear from the Lord, it is now.
19:58And when you pay attention, God will do just that.
20:01And so this is when God, as I said before, God does the fighting for you.
20:06Why?
20:07Because you're at a place of learning.
20:09There are things you must learn in this season.
20:12And while you are learning, God will do the fighting.
20:15Okay.
20:16The operations of the powers of darkness want to prevent and stop.
20:22But God is saying, I'm going to take care of that.
20:25You pay attention so that you can learn, understand what God is doing.
20:29So understand this, that just as God protected the patriarchs that we read about in the Bible
20:36and he covers them while they are learning his will and his ways.
20:41Likewise, he is doing the same for you because your focus now is the kingdom of God.
20:48You're learning something that perhaps hasn't been taught enough.
20:52I believe it hasn't been taught enough.
20:54I believe that we have much to cover and we need to give the word of God our undivided attention
21:02as we seek to understand the things and the ways of our Lord.
21:07Jesus said, listen, my yoke is easy.
21:10My burden is light.
21:11Take my yoke upon you.
21:13Learn of me.
21:14Allow the spirit of God to teach you so that you can learn the power of who you really are.
21:22Religion has overshadowed the supernatural divine powers that God has invested in us.
21:29Therefore, it's why we have been teaching and exposing the spirit, the stronghold of religion
21:35so that people can really break forth in the power and demonstration that the scripture declares
21:42that we are and what we have and what we are about.
21:45All right.
21:46And so as we continue in this, I want to read 2 Peter 1 and 3.
21:512 Peter 1 and 3, it says, according as his divine power has given unto us all things.
21:59Now, this is so important because it doesn't say some things.
22:02And see, a lot of times when we find that, or I find that I'm acting out something,
22:09it's because I'm really not believing that I already have.
22:12You see, when God have created you a certain way to be, you don't have to act because you
22:19already are.
22:20So according as his divine power has given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness
22:29through the knowledge of him that has called us to glory and virtue.
22:37So whatever it is you think you don't have is why you'll try and act holy or try and act
22:44save or try to act out something which you don't have to act.
22:48It's the same problem that took place in the Garden of Eden.
22:51When again, he's the enemy came forth, tempting Eve and of course deceiving because that's his
23:00greatest weapon to make her think that you need to do this so that you can be like the most
23:10high
23:10God.
23:10And the truth of the matter is creation had already created her in the image.
23:16They were already in the image and likeness of God.
23:18But when you don't know how you've already been created, then you act out something and you don't
23:24really have to act what you already are.
23:27But if you don't know that, then you'll find yourself acting.
23:30And so that's why I think 2 Peter was very important so that you understand the divine
23:35power that has been given unto us.
23:37I really think that you need to pay attention to that.
23:41All things, all things that pertain to life and godliness are within you.
23:45And so knowledge is light and darkness is ignorance.
23:50And so when you understand that this is what God has done, it enlightens you.
23:56It helps you to start simply being and not acting.
24:01I gave a statement some time ago that darkness thrives where truth is absent.
24:07OK, that's very important because when truth is not available, then ignorance begins to dominate
24:15and darkness will again thrive and it'll keep people in a place of ignorance because that's
24:21what darkness means.
24:22It represents the realm of, you know, no knowledge, lack of knowledge.
24:27And how what happens in Hosea, Hosea 4 and 6, my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.
24:36And so, again, we gave another statement.
24:39We said deception thrives where discernment is ignored.
24:44And so when you don't discern what God has already done, then you're easily deceived.
24:50And this is what we want to.
24:52This is why we're exposing the works of the devil, because exposure is a powerful weapon.
24:58You can learn and come into the knowledge of things of the kingdom of God.
25:03And then when light enters, darkness loses its power.
25:08It loses its grip.
25:09It no longer can dominate.
25:11All right.
25:12And when truth is revealed, guess what?
25:14Deception is exposed.
25:16So as the light of the kingdom of heaven enters, the darkness of religious spirits are exposed
25:24and they will be removed.
25:26And this is how we move forward, because this is truly a time where we must move forward.
25:33I'm talking about supernatural beings, how we have been created.
25:37The realm of God is within us.
25:39And all godly things that pertain to our life and our very well-being is already within us.
25:48This is Masterclass.
25:50Matthew chapter 6 and verse 31.
25:52Again, we started out talking about understanding how you bring your presence into your workplace
26:00or into any environment, any situation.
26:03Your presence is far more powerful than most understand.
26:08And when Jesus said, look, take no thought saying, what shall we eat?
26:12What shall we drink?
26:14Or what shall we wear?
26:15What shall we?
26:15In other words, the very things that we are mindful of, that we continue to think about.
26:22It's why we work.
26:23It's why we do what we do, because these are the very things that make for life.
26:28All right.
26:29And godliness.
26:30Well, we already have those things.
26:32It's not something physical, but it's spiritual.
26:36Because I've always said poverty does not begin from the outside.
26:40It begins from the mind, from the way of thinking.
26:43As a person thinks in their hearts, so are they.
26:46And so, again, Matthew continues.
26:49It says, for after all these things do the Gentiles or pagans, which he was referring to,
26:54the pagans seek for these things.
26:57Okay.
26:57But your heavenly father knows that you have need of these things.
27:02Okay.
27:03So he, again, concludes to that foundational scripture that we've been giving you.
27:08Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness.
27:12The Amplified says, seek, aim, strive, go after first the kingdom and his righteousness or his way of doing things,
27:24his way of being, his standard of living, his higher standard for life.
27:31Okay.
27:32And then all these things shall be given unto you.
27:36Okay.
27:37And the passion translation says, then all these lesser, less important things will be given to you abundantly.
27:46Because those things are really what God supplies.
27:49If we would allow him to do what he does and we do what we're supposed to do,
27:54then we find ourselves aligning with the word of God.
27:58God, God's way of doing things.
28:01Okay.
28:02He's already designed to meet all our needs.
28:05All right.
28:06And that's what we need to believe it, hold fast to it and never back up on it.
28:11No matter what the tests come, of course, tests will come.
28:14That is to try your faith.
28:16It's to keep you believing.
28:17It's to make you understand that faith that cannot be tested, cannot be trusted.
28:24So when you are tested and tried by your faith,
28:27then you believe no matter what.
28:31All right.
28:31And so the secret to having the needs met, to having things, as Matthew says,
28:39and actually having no worry, no anxiety, no stressing, you know, that's the secret.
28:48Seek first the kingdom.
28:49It's hidden in plain sight that we would understand that all things are in this one thing called kingdom.
28:59When you get that in your spirit and really begin to seek it, as he has said, get your mind
29:05on it.
29:06Be diligent about it.
29:07Seek it daily.
29:08Ask God for direction.
29:10Ask God for understanding.
29:11Ask God to show you how to go about it.
29:15Then you absolutely will begin to see that his focus becomes first.
29:21And when you make him first, then all those things will be added.
29:25He takes care of it.
29:27All right.
29:27And so this these things.
29:30Actually.
29:33Sometimes we make more important, even than our own well-being, our own self, our own person, our presence.
29:40And when we don't understand our presence, this is where we really begin to miss it.
29:46You know, when you don't realize the power that's been invested in you, when we don't understand how important what
29:55God has done is so very important, then we're just being religious, so to speak.
30:03And again, religion always makes you act like something.
30:08Really, you don't have to act.
30:10It makes you act out what you really don't need to act because you already are.
30:15But it will always indicate that you're not.
30:18And when you believe or think that you're not, then you begin acting out something and not realizing you don't
30:25have to act what you already are.
30:27All right.
30:28And so this is so important.
30:29Again, Jesus is bringing this.
30:31He brings this up.
30:33You know, Jesus said that you to take no thought, you know, for your life.
30:38And the passion, again, the passion translation, I like the passion translation.
30:43It says, never let anxiety even enter your hearts.
30:48Okay.
30:49Because why?
30:50This interferes with what God wants to do.
30:55And when we are so perplexed with our day-to-day living, we're not, first of all, we're not trusting
31:03God.
31:03We're not having the kind of faith that casts all our cares on him because he cares for us.
31:11And then that faith, again, is not growing so that you can get to a place of peace.
31:19See, in the mind, in Jesus's mind, he understood fully that this is what we would go through from day
31:27to day.
31:27And so he immediately addressed that very thing because he understood very clearly that you are going to miss your
31:35purpose and your presence because you're too invested in your thoughts and preoccupied with things.
31:44And so he began to deal with that as he was speaking to the disciples and even the multitudes when
31:51he began teaching the message of the kingdom, all right, his righteousness, all right?
31:57So when you understand that if he's not first, then these things are going to overtake you because that's where
32:05you're going to be caught up in.
32:06Your presence is far more powerful in the workplace and in the environments and all the places that you find
32:18yourself.
32:19It's far more powerful than any substance, than any thing.
32:23We've spent a lot of time talking about your presence.
32:27I still think there's never enough to bring out.
32:30It's always so difficult to bring out the kind of words that help you to discover or rediscover the power
32:39of your presence because within your presence is your purpose, all right?
32:45Your presence is so powerful.
32:47When you're seeking first the kingdom and his righteousness, you begin to eliminate the worry and some really need peace.
32:55You need relief from the worry and the cares that really invade your thoughts and your minds on a daily
33:03basis.
33:04You can't even get a good night's sleep when you're so pressed and overworn with those types of things.
33:10And this is why Jesus addressed those things and began to let you understand how your presence is so much
33:18more important than things.
33:20And when you allow your presence to manifest, because that's really why God has, you know, God strategically places us
33:28in places that we would not choose to go ourselves.
33:31We would never go to some of the places where I would never go to some of the places I
33:36find myself at.
33:37But when God strategically places me there, then I begin right away focusing on his righteousness, his kingdom, because obviously
33:48my presence needs to make a difference in where I'm going, where he's sending me, wherever he's placing me.
33:55Likewise, wherever he's sending you, where is God, you know, sending you?
33:59Where has he placed you?
34:01Because it's there so your presence can manifest his kingdom.
34:05But if it's so perplexed and you're so oppressed with all of what's going on, then it's very difficult to
34:15manifest your purpose through your presence.
34:18And when you seek the kingdom, purpose actually will begin to manifest when your presence is able to allow your
34:29purpose, okay, to really become the prominent thing there,
34:34wherever God is sending you.
34:36Your presence is more important.
34:40Now, this might be hard for some, but your presence is more important than your work.
34:46Your work is there, but your presence is there.
34:50The work is there for your presence to show up.
34:54But we make more of the work than our presence, and therefore the purpose does not manifest.
35:00I hope I'm getting through, because it's so important if you get this in your spirit and really get the
35:05revelation of what Jesus was saying when he was dealing with, take no thought for these things.
35:11Don't get yourself all tied up in these things, because then your presence, the fullness of who you are cannot
35:18manifest, all right?
35:20And so, you know, again, understanding the kingdom is the governing influence of a territory, and it has impact.
35:27It impacts the king's will is to come through our presence in the territories that he has placed us in,
35:35all right?
35:35And what?
35:36It's the king's purpose.
35:37It's the king's intent.
35:39And it reflects his desires when it can manifest through our presence.
35:44Now, some may not say, see the realm of supernatural, but that's supernatural.
35:50When your presence manifests the will of God in a situation, that is very powerful.
35:58It's very supernatural, but there's so much more.
36:02But, you know, if we could just get past this point of things and start understanding the power of our
36:11presence, then we can really step into the realm of the supernatural.
36:17You know, as I've been sharing with you, I took you through the teaching of the Dead Sea Scrolls, which
36:22there's so much more to come.
36:24I do hope that you will definitely stay tuned for that because come the month of October, we really want
36:30to specifically walk you through those books so you can see the power that is there, that there's nothing to
36:37be fearful of those, you know, of the books.
36:41I don't know why the enemy, I do know why, because, again, he's a thief.
36:47He's a robber, and he wants to steal, kill, and destroy.
36:51And I think that these books have been really, they're waiting and preserved for God's people and to expose the
37:01enemy.
37:02And those books really, the book of Enoch, the book of Jubilee, they really expose the works of the adversary.
37:09So no wonder there would be such a fear hovering over the body of Christ and over God's people and
37:16different ones saying how you shouldn't, you know, dip into those things, those secretive things.
37:21It's nothing secret about them.
37:23They have never been a secret.
37:25If anything, those who have been saying that they are, that's coming from the people or the, you know, those
37:31who are saying that.
37:32It's never been, those books have already been, as I shared with you before, that what was found in the
37:38Dead Sea Scrolls, the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Ethiopian Bible, the books of the Bible, the books of Enoch and
37:52Jubilee.
37:52So we will be walking, I want to walk you through them.
37:55We figured we'd give people enough time to get them.
37:57You can get it on your phone or you can purchase it.
38:01It's very easy.
38:02It's accessible now.
38:04And we want to really go deeper.
38:07It's time for God's people to know the power that has been invested in you,
38:11to know the power that you have and understand that, yes, you know, God took Enoch because he was really
38:21gathering.
38:22He was a recorder.
38:23He was actually a recorder and gathering information that was not ready for that time.
38:29So God had to bring him into the realm of heaven.
38:32But we are entering in, as I said before, the Kairos time of God, where it's time for you to
38:38learn some things about yourself.
38:40It's time for you to understand why you're here in the earth.
38:45It's time for you to get the kind of insight that has already been.
38:50And you have all these things that the scripture said it's already in you.
38:54But as long as you don't know what's there, you'll keep trying to act out something because you think it's
39:01not there.
39:01The only reason someone acts is because they don't believe they are.
39:05When you know that you are, you don't have to act.
39:09You just be it.
39:10All right.
39:10And so a kingdom is not a religion.
39:13And that's one of the other things I like about the Ethiopian Bibles.
39:18It's not showing you anything about religion.
39:22It's actually showing you the supernatural realm of God's creation, us, and the powers that have been invested in us
39:29so that we can walk in it.
39:31I mean, it's amazing that all this time that now it would really become prominent.
39:38I think that those who are mature and who are growing in grace and in the knowledge thereof, God is
39:44saying it's time for you to come up a little higher.
39:47Glory to God.
39:48And so understanding this, that you are seeking, and that is also a part of seeking, seeking out the fullness,
39:55the full truth and all that God has provided.
39:58All right.
39:59All right.
40:00So, again, when you're seeking his kingdom, it's a government.
40:04It's not a religion.
40:06All right.
40:06And the concept of kingdom, it's the original intent of Jesus.
40:12That's what he preached.
40:14People can argue a lot of other things, but the scriptures is there.
40:19It speaks for itself.
40:21Jesus said, repent, change your mind.
40:25Why?
40:25The kingdom of heaven has arrived.
40:28What was lost in the Garden of Eden has returned through the second Adam, Jesus Christ, and has brought back.
40:37And now it's up to us to learn about it because it is powerful.
40:41It is mysterious.
40:44You know, Jesus said that a lot of the things or the mysteries to the kingdom are keys that he
40:51began to reveal.
40:52And this is a lot of what must come forth as we continue and bring you into some other dimensions
41:00of the word of God.
41:02This is good because you want to grow.
41:06You want to prosper in the word of God and not just stay stagnant and not, you know, manifest why
41:15you're here in the earth.
41:16I've said it many times, whatever you were doing in heaven, because we were with him in heaven before we
41:24came to the earth.
41:26That's why the earth is not our home.
41:28Earth is not our origination.
41:30We don't originate from the earth.
41:32You were with the Lord.
41:34That's why it says he has called you, predestined you before the foundations of the world.
41:40So I like to understand that, listen, whatever you were doing in heaven with him, you were doing it so
41:49well that God said, I need you to be in earth because you have what I have in heaven.
41:58In earth as in heaven.
42:00That's why you're here.
42:01And so many don't understand their gifts and their callings because they don't understand the power that's been the supernatural
42:09realm that rests within you.
42:11But as the word of God comes forth, you lay hold to it.
42:15Lay hold to it and be steadfast and unmovable.
42:18You get what God has for you and don't miss anything.
42:23When the word of God comes forth, be in your place.
42:26Be in position to receive all that he has for you so that you can step into the fullness of
42:32your purpose of why you're even here in Jesus name.
42:37All right.
42:37I'm just not really getting to these notes because I'm so full.
42:41There's so much that I want to say and so much I want to get out.
42:44But again, the kingdom message, that is the message of Jesus.
42:48Repent for the kingdom has arrived.
42:50In other words, I want you to bring into earth what is already in heaven.
42:57When you pray, he says, pray that, listen, thy kingdom come, thy will be done.
43:03I pray every night before I go to bed, before I close my eyes, is your kingdom come in me.
43:09Your will be done in me, in earth as it is in heaven.
43:15And that is more and more manifesting each day.
43:19You know, I often wondered when I first really got the conviction to continue preaching this message of the kingdom
43:25of God.
43:25It's like I was thinking, how many messages can you preach on one thing?
43:32But this is so easily cleared up in the scripture because Jesus himself said that, listen,
43:38when you begin to preach and decree and declare this message, when you get understanding of it and you really
43:47start seeking it, you know, immediately the enemy comes to take what you have.
43:53But if you can maintain, you see, the more you seek him, the more he's going to give you and
44:00you'll never run out.
44:01I find that I can't even keep up with so much that God has poured in my spirit and he
44:07keeps pouring in more because the more you seek, the more he pours in.
44:10You'll never run out of the message of the kingdom.
44:15It's too big.
44:16It's too much.
44:16And it has to really, you know, come little by little, line upon line, precept upon precept.
44:23All right.
44:24So time is moving quickly.
44:27So seek, again, means to explore, to study, to learn, to understand, to pursue.
44:33And if you're not seeking, then this teaching won't even matter to you.
44:38If you're not hungry for the message of the kingdom of God, for what Jesus actually preached, which really was
44:44the only message, all the other scriptures, these were conversations.
44:48These were confrontations that he had with the scribes and the Pharisees who were the religious rulers.
44:55And this is why I say over and over again, he was never about religion.
44:59He did not come to bring a religion.
45:02In fact, all of his confrontations were with those that were religion, religious rulers, bringing people under the oppression of
45:11religion.
45:12All sorts of rules and ceremonies and formalities and rituals and things that they had to do.
45:20And Jesus came to set them free from all of that.
45:23And so he was constantly in conflict with the religious people.
45:28And so this is why I say a spirit of religion.
45:30It has been raining way back then, even before that, right up until now.
45:36And it's so time to expose that spirit so people can get free and understand that you are not a
45:43religious person.
45:44You are a supernatural being holding the standards of God because the righteousness of God is the standard of living
45:53that God has given unto us.
45:55So, yes, I seek.
45:57We pursue so that we can learn and know more.
46:00Seek first.
46:01Seek first the governing influence of God in the earth.
46:05His righteousness, his righteousness, his right, positioning yourself, aligning yourself, all right, with the governing of his kingdom, his authority.
46:16Submit to God.
46:18I submit daily.
46:19That's a daily, Lord.
46:20I submit to your authority.
46:22I submit to your power.
46:23And so, again, seek.
46:25Seek the influence.
46:28Seek the realm of the spirit of the Lord.
46:31Always.
46:32Holy Spirit.
46:32He's right there.
46:34He's in you.
46:35You have the greater one right here in the earth to teach you, to influence you, to show you, and
46:42to help you.
46:43And if you would simply seek him, he has wonders that he wants to perform and show you.
46:50All these things will be added.
46:52You'll find yourself not having to worry about the bills, about the rent, the mortgage, the car note, the food
46:58and shelter and things of those.
46:59So, Jesus can't lie.
47:02If that's what he said, then that's what he meant.
47:05If it's not happening, then you've got to check yourself and see why it's not happening.
47:10What's going on with you?
47:11Because he said all these things will be added.
47:14So, you've got to refuse to worry.
47:16You've got to stop.
47:18Bring it to a halt right now.
47:19Ask the Holy Spirit to comfort you, give you peace, so that you can be released into the things of
47:26God and not be caught up and worried.
47:28Bringing that kind of anxiety wears and tears down on your body.
47:33Your body was not designed to carry the anxieties and the worries.
47:37It's why I think this season is so important because this season of atonement is a time of forgiveness.
47:45Release everybody.
47:46I forgive all.
47:48I retain none.
47:50Get that off of you.
47:52Those are the things that are causing people to die from cancerous situations and diseases because the body is not
48:00to hold those things.
48:01You're holding in that anger and that resentment and that bitterness and that stuff is actually working against you.
48:10It is wearing it.
48:12Your body is just not designed for that.
48:15And what a wonderful time for you.
48:17Those of you that are listening, if you're hearing this for the first time, this is your day.
48:21This is your time.
48:22This is for you right now to release yourself from every bitterness, from every anger, every confrontation, those things that
48:32you had that you just can't seem to shake and wondering how come it hurts so bad.
48:38For one thing, there's usually never a resolve and you're thinking that they're going to come and apologize and they're
48:43not.
48:44And guess what?
48:45Even if they did, it would probably not, you know, bring any kind of resolve to the pain and suffering
48:51that you're feeling.
48:52I say in the name of Jesus, be healed, be healed by the precious blood of Jesus.
48:59That's what this atonement is all about.
49:01He became sin for us so that we could be the righteousness or the standard, the high standard of God.
49:11And that's what this season is about so that you can just repent, just give it to the Lord once
49:17and for all.
49:18If you don't have someone that you can talk to and really, you know, confessing, that's okay.
49:25Unto the Lord.
49:26It says confess unto the Lord.
49:29Get somewhere quiet in a, you know, quiet place where you can release yourself once and for all.
49:37You don't have to carry that pain anymore.
49:41You don't have to carry that.
49:42And if you're waiting to feel forgiveness, you're going to be waiting.
49:48You don't feel it.
49:50He never said to feel, you know, to forgive.
49:53He simply said you obey and do it.
49:56So out of obedience, when you are out of obedience, you know, trust the word of God and simply forgive
50:04them.
50:04Forgive all and retain none.
50:06The spirit of God then can begin the healing process.
50:11He can begin to restore you.
50:14And restoration is a beautiful thing because it begins on the inside first, and then it begins to work on
50:21the outside.
50:22And then things begin, you know, God begins mending and bringing back together even relationships that seem that would never
50:30be resolved.
50:32God is able to do that.
50:33But it starts with forgiveness, that I forgive all and I retain none.
50:40And when you start really believing God for what he said, all right, because sometimes we make more of what
50:49someone has done to us than what God has done for us.
50:54And we need to realize how important it is that even now, as we are observing this season of the
51:01Lord atonement, how he has atoned for our sins.
51:05The scripture says if we confess our sins, he's quick, okay, and just to forgive us.
51:13And it's just as he wants to forgive you, he wants you to forgive as well.
51:18Because when you don't forgive, he says, I will not forgive you.
51:23And I often ask the question, what must that be like if God doesn't forgive you?
51:29What could that be?
51:30What kind of feeling would that?
51:31What kind of life is that to have where God is not forgiving you?
51:38That means nothing is being answered.
51:41Nothing is working out.
51:42No matter what you do, it doesn't work for you.
51:45This is not a good thing.
51:48And is that person or what that situation was, is it worth it?
51:55It's not worth it.
51:56And I often said, just think, what if the Lord was to come?
52:01And you have not forgiven and he has not forgiven you.
52:04What would that look like?
52:06I think that right now you want to simply let it go as hard and difficult as it is.
52:12And I know that sometimes, believe me, I know that kind of pain.
52:17But I also know that God can heal you so good that you will be too healed to hate.
52:24And one of my ministers said, and if you're too healed to hate, you'll be too healed to hurt.
52:30You just won't hurt anymore.
52:32And that's what God wants to do to you.
52:34My time is really running out.
52:36But you know what?
52:36This is the season of the Lord.
52:38Don't let this season pass you by without you really doing some serious soul searching.
52:44It's time for you to get free so you can actually mount up on wings, your strength to be renewed,
52:51to be restored.
52:52It's time for you to step into the fullness of your purpose.
52:56Get to where you belong.
52:58Where you are is too low.
53:00You don't belong there.
53:01You have to come up where God has called you.
53:05When you come up, things immediately begin to get better.
53:08Everything begins to turn.
53:10The table turns for you.
53:11And God begins to prepare that table right in the presence of your enemies.
53:16And so, Father, I just pray right now for those under the sound of my voice, those that are hurting,
53:22those that have been betrayed,
53:24those that have been so wronged and so hurt and that no one has validated or even considered their pain.
53:32Lord, I just pray right now that you would touch them, touch them as they've never been touched before,
53:39that you would cause them, oh God, to realize that no matter what anyone has done to them,
53:45it's not even close to what you have already done, the price that you have already paid for them.
53:52And so, Father, I pray healing be released and ministered to those right now in Jesus' mighty name,
53:58that they would be healed and they'd be restored, Lord God, and that restitution be made even unto them
54:06as they begin to seek you first and knowing, oh God, that your righteousness, we are your righteousness,
54:14we are the standard that you have set in the earth to represent your kingdom.
54:20And I pray for total healing and deliverance and breakthroughs and physical healings as well,
54:26that, oh God, just as sure as they repent, oh God, and become free of all sin and iniquities,
54:34that you begin to heal their bodies.
54:36God, give them a better report, the doctor's report.
54:40It can be all wrong, God, as you turn it around and cause them to be totally healed.
54:46A miracle come forth, a supernatural realm for those whom you have called according to your purpose.
54:52We thank you for it in advance.
54:54We call it done and it is so in Jesus' name.
54:58Look, I'm so looking forward to seeing you.
55:00If I don't get to see you on Saturday, please make it a point to get yourselves to Sunday out
55:08there at the Holiday Inn.
55:09It's going to be a very important time, a very special time.
55:13Many are going to be prayed for and they're going to be healed, going to lay hands and anoint, oh
55:19God,
55:19that God's people begin to manifest the supernatural glory that he has invested in us.
55:25It's going to be a powerful time.
55:27We want you to make sure now that you plan, plan, get yourself together, call the family together,
55:34call whoever you get to ride from, make it a point to get to there.
55:38Okay, like again, if I don't see you Saturday, which I do hope I do, but if not,
55:43I look forward to seeing you on Sunday in Jesus' name for atonement.
55:48It's going to be a blessed time.
55:49I don't want you to miss it.
55:51God bless you.
55:52We'll see you there.
