00:00:00 Again, this morning I'm talking to you about living by heavenly realities and not just
00:00:05 as earthly realities.
00:00:08 You know, over the last few years, and I would even say the last decades, we have been through
00:00:13 a lot of things and people have encountered a lot of adversities.
00:00:18 And so, because of the adversities or the things that have been happening in the world
00:00:23 and then the things that have affected your personal life, we have—some of us have lost
00:00:28 focus or we have forgotten about the things that matter the most and that is the Word
00:00:33 of God and what God has to say about our circumstances.
00:00:38 And so, I want us to refocus ourselves on the ministry of the heavenly realities that
00:00:43 God has made available to you and I and set our emotions and our affections on things
00:00:49 above and not just things on the earth.
00:00:52 You know, our origin determines our destination.
00:00:56 Your origin determines your destination and our origin comes from God.
00:01:02 We are made in the image and the likeness of God and our destination is all of who God
00:01:07 is and all that He has prepared, all that He has for us that is in Him.
00:01:13 And so again, Jesus taught His disciples to pray in Matthew chapter 6 verse 10, "Thy
00:01:21 kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven."
00:01:27 Somebody said, "On earth as it is in heaven."
00:01:32 And you know, perspective is everything when you talk about on earth as it is in heaven
00:01:36 and how you perceive things to be and we have to begin to live life from God's perspective
00:01:42 and not this earthly perspective.
00:01:45 The earth and the world has given us a perspective.
00:01:48 We get a perspective of things from social media, from the news and from things that
00:01:54 are just happening in the world where our government is concerned.
00:01:57 It's been shaping our perspective.
00:02:00 But we've got to begin to let God shape our perspective.
00:02:03 We can't forget what God has to say.
00:02:06 We want what—no, we want to know what God has to say about our circumstances.
00:02:10 What does God want to be to you in the very thing that you are going through right now?
00:02:15 What does God have to say about your health?
00:02:18 What does God have to say about your wealth and all the things that He has already provided
00:02:23 for you and I?
00:02:24 We've got to look at from God's point of view and see what God wants us to receive from
00:02:30 Him.
00:02:31 And so what am I saying?
00:02:32 We've got to go deeper in our faith where God is concerned.
00:02:35 Some of us has lost our way where our faith is concerned.
00:02:39 We don't believe like we used to believe, not on purpose but we are so caught up in
00:02:43 what the world is saying and what's happening in the world that we forgot about our faith
00:02:47 in God.
00:02:48 So, we've got to go deeper in our faith.
00:02:51 If you would, turn with me to Acts chapter 14.
00:02:55 Acts chapter 14 in the Passion Translation in verse 22 says this, "At each place they
00:03:02 went they strengthened the lives of the believers and encouraged them to go deeper in their
00:03:08 faith."
00:03:09 I want to encourage you this morning to go deeper into your faith.
00:03:13 And He says, "And they taught them."
00:03:15 It is necessary for us to enter into the realm of God's kingdom because that's the only way
00:03:22 we will endure our many trials and persecutions.
00:03:27 You and I have got to go deeper into our faith and enter in to God's kingdom realm because
00:03:33 that is the only way that you're going to endure and overcome the many trials and persecutions
00:03:40 that you are facing and that you will face in the future.
00:03:43 Anybody been through anything?
00:03:45 Hallelujah.
00:03:46 And so, for you and I, you got to go deeper into your faith.
00:03:49 It is not a time to draw back from God, it's a time to draw closer to God.
00:03:54 You got to get deeper in the things of God and you've got to enter in what He's made
00:03:59 available to you and I into this kingdom realm.
00:04:03 And so, even when you're going through the trials that you are going through, you got
00:04:07 to press into the kingdom, press in to what God has for you, press in to the grace that
00:04:12 God has made available to you to overcome all the trials that you may face in life.
00:04:19 First Corinthians chapter 15 and verse 19 in the Passion Translation says, "If the only
00:04:26 benefit of our hope in Christ is limited to this life on earth, we deserve to be pitied
00:04:34 more than all others."
00:04:35 Listen, if the only benefit of our hope in Christ is limited to what you see that is
00:04:42 happening into this world, if you're limited to what is in your checkbook, you're limited
00:04:47 to what the doctor says, what a creditor says, if you—if your life is only limited to what
00:04:55 you can have in this earth, you are to be pitied more than all others.
00:04:59 So, there are many benefits that you and I have in Christ Jesus and He has literally
00:05:05 taken the limitations off of your life.
00:05:09 Somebody said, "No more limits."
00:05:11 He has literally taken limitations off of our life.
00:05:14 Proverbs 4:12 in the Passion Translation says that, "Your progress will have no limits."
00:05:21 Hallelujah.
00:05:22 Whatever you set out to do for the kingdom of heaven, God says, "Your progress will
00:05:27 have—" I got two witnesses I see.
00:05:29 "Your progress will have no limits when you come along with me and you will never stumble
00:05:37 as you walk along the way."
00:05:38 That sounds like good news to me.
00:05:41 Somebody said, "My progress will have no limits."
00:05:47 Somebody said, "No limits."
00:05:49 Glory to God.
00:05:50 We want to experience heaven on earth.
00:05:53 How many want to experience heaven?
00:05:56 God's reality, His kingdom realm, the reality of heaven right here on earth.
00:06:03 God wants us to live from heaven to earth, not from earth to heaven.
00:06:08 He said to pray, "Your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven."
00:06:15 So, there's a place that you and I can live from heaven to earth and not earth to heaven.
00:06:23 To live earth to heaven is to bring God all your woes.
00:06:27 God, you see what's happening in my husband.
00:06:30 You see what's happening with my children.
00:06:31 They're crazy.
00:06:32 God, you see what the doctor said.
00:06:34 "God, I can't afford this house."
00:06:36 The snatch man came and got my car.
00:06:38 "Oh God, what am I going to do?
00:06:40 Oh God, help me."
00:06:42 But when you live from heaven to earth, you're not moved by what it looks like.
00:06:46 You're not moved by what you see.
00:06:48 God, your Word declares that by the stripes of Jesus, I'm healed.
00:06:52 God, your Word declares that there's a divine supply for every area of my life.
00:06:56 God, your Word declares you save me and my household.
00:06:59 God, your Word declares we're living from heaven to earth, and we're affecting and changing
00:07:05 the world we live in by living from heaven in this kingly reality in every area of our
00:07:12 lives.
00:07:14 Romans chapter 5, verse 1, the New King James Version says, "Therefore, having been justified
00:07:25 by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ."
00:07:31 It says, "Through whom we also have access by faith into this grace, into this kingdom
00:07:37 reality, into this heavenly reality, we have access by faith into this grace in which we
00:07:44 stand and we rejoice in the hope of the glory of the manifested presence of God in every
00:07:51 area of our lives."
00:07:53 Matthew 6 and 10 in the past in translation says, "Manifest your kingdom realm and cause
00:08:00 your every purpose to be fulfilled on earth just as it is in heaven."
00:08:07 And so our prayer is that God would manifest His kingdom realm and cause His every purpose.
00:08:14 God has a purpose.
00:08:15 He has a plan for every single one of our lives.
00:08:19 Even with everything that we've gone through, everything we're going through, everything
00:08:23 that you will go through, God has a purpose and He has a plan for every one of our lives.
00:08:29 And we want God's purpose and God's plan to be fulfilled on earth in the circumstances
00:08:36 as it is in heaven.
00:08:39 God's purpose for your life.
00:08:41 And some of us, you know, we miss out on God's purpose on our lives because we're looking
00:08:47 at the circumstances of our lives as opposed to looking at what God has envisioned, what
00:08:53 God has planned, what God wants to do in your life.
00:08:57 I heard this powerful testimony.
00:08:59 It was a testimony of a guy preaching and he gave an altar call.
00:09:03 And in this altar call, a young lady and some other people came to the altar and he prayed
00:09:08 for them.
00:09:09 And he gets to this young lady and he says to her, "The Spirit of the Lord says to you,
00:09:13 'Do on earth what you're famous for in heaven.'"
00:09:17 And he says to her, he looks at her and says, "Do you understand what I'm saying?"
00:09:20 And she said, "No."
00:09:22 And so the Lord began to open his spirit up to see exactly what God was saying to her
00:09:27 when he said that.
00:09:29 And he said to her, "When your husband goes to work and your children go to school and
00:09:35 you're home alone, you move the furniture in your living room and you begin to dance
00:09:41 before the Lord.
00:09:43 And God said to you, 'Do on earth what you're famous for in heaven.'"
00:09:49 And this lady, she goes home and she's pondering, she's meditating on what was said to her.
00:09:54 And that night she has a dream.
00:09:57 And in her dream, she does what she did every day.
00:10:01 Her husband goes to work, her kids go to school, and in her dream she moves the furniture and
00:10:07 she begins to dance before the Lord.
00:10:09 But in this dream, she looks up and she sees her ceiling is no longer there, but all of
00:10:15 heaven is invading her home now.
00:10:18 And heaven comes and join in with her worship unto God.
00:10:22 And she hears the Lord said, "Do on earth what you're famous for in heaven."
00:10:26 Now this was so significant for this woman, because when she wakes up, she had been dealing
00:10:31 with depression for 15 years and she tried to commit suicide so many times.
00:10:38 But when she woke up, she was instantly delivered from the spirit of depression because she's
00:10:43 doing on earth what she is famous for.
00:10:46 Oh my God, what she is famous for in heaven.
00:10:49 I say to you this morning, world changers, do on earth what you're famous for in heaven.
00:10:56 God has a purpose and has a plan for every one of your lives.
00:11:02 As a matter of fact, if anybody is in this morning, if you're dealing with depression,
00:11:07 if you're dealing with anxiety, if you're dealing with panic attacks, if you would just
00:11:11 lift your hand right where you are, I believe the Spirit of God will touch you right where
00:11:16 you are.
00:11:17 That, that message, this word, that story resonated with you this morning.
00:11:22 And you said, "Oh God, if you would do that for me."
00:11:24 God says, "Do on earth what you're famous for in heaven."
00:11:28 You're not famous for depression.
00:11:30 You're not famous for anxiety.
00:11:32 You're not famous for panic attacks.
00:11:34 It's by the stripes of Jesus, you are healed.
00:11:37 If you would just stand right where you are and the Spirit of God is going to touch you
00:11:41 right where you are.
00:11:42 If you lay your hand over your heart right now.
00:11:45 Father, in the name of Jesus, I decree and declare your kingdom come, your will be done
00:11:53 on earth, in this earthen vessel, on earth as it is in heaven.
00:11:58 Touch every woman, every man that is standing this morning.
00:12:01 God, I come against the spirit of depression.
00:12:04 I come against anxiety.
00:12:06 I come against panic attacks in the name of Jesus.
00:12:11 And I declare that by the stripes of Jesus, you're already healed.
00:12:16 You're already healed.
00:12:18 You're already delivered.
00:12:19 You're already free in the name of Jesus.
00:12:23 Hallelujah.
00:12:24 Come on and give your God a shout of praise.
00:12:30 Glory to God.
00:12:32 Hallelujah.
00:12:33 Thank you, Lord Jesus.
00:12:36 Thank you, Lord God.
00:12:38 I don't believe you have to wait till tomorrow morning to discover it.
00:12:41 No more panic attacks.
00:12:43 No more depression.
00:12:44 No more anxiety.
00:12:46 In the name of Jesus, we're living by heaven's realities.
00:12:50 And in this reality, the possibilities are limitless.
00:12:54 It's in that place where all things are possible to him that can believe.
00:12:59 It is that place that with God nothing is impossible.
00:13:05 Because you and I are believers.
00:13:07 We live in this place where we get to experience the possibilities that God has made available
00:13:13 to us.
00:13:14 And all things are possible to him that can believe.
00:13:18 Somebody shout, "I'm a believer."
00:13:21 Glory to God.
00:13:22 Hallelujah.
00:13:23 You know, in Psalm 78, in the Passion Translations, verse 40 and 41, the Bible talks about the
00:13:30 children of Israel and how they provoked God in the wilderness.
00:13:34 And it says how many times they rebelled in their desert days, and how they grieved Him
00:13:42 with their grumblings.
00:13:43 They murmured and they complained about where they were.
00:13:47 You know, everybody has desert days.
00:13:51 You know, everybody—we all just came through some desert days.
00:13:54 But in their desert days, they begin to grumble against God.
00:13:58 Listen, when you're going through your desert days, the last thing you need to do is grumble
00:14:02 before God.
00:14:03 You don't need to murmur, and you don't need to complain.
00:14:06 Remember, every day they complained.
00:14:09 That's how many years they were in that same position.
00:14:12 For every day you grumble, that's how—that's how many years you stay in that position.
00:14:20 They complained for 40 days of not being able to have what God said.
00:14:25 And so, 40 years they wandered in that desert place.
00:14:28 They grumbled.
00:14:29 Verse 41 says, "Again and again, they limited God, preventing Him from blessing them.
00:14:36 Continually, they turned back from Him and provoked the Holy One of Israel."
00:14:42 They complained about not being able to have what God said to them.
00:14:46 They complained about not having food, not having water.
00:14:49 And God had a promise that He has made to them, that they would go into a land with—flowing
00:14:54 with milk and honey.
00:14:55 But they limited God.
00:14:57 You think about it, how can you limit God?
00:15:00 He's God.
00:15:03 And God made them a promise that, "I'm going to bring you into a land flowing with milk
00:15:07 and honey."
00:15:08 It's a—you're going into a land with houses you didn't build.
00:15:11 I want y'all to grab that.
00:15:12 Vineyards—Hallelujah.
00:15:13 Vineyards you didn't plant.
00:15:14 It's everything your heart's desire.
00:15:15 He says, "As a matter of fact, go and send some spies out, 12 spies, to go and spy out
00:15:23 the land and come back to tell them if what I said to you was so."
00:15:27 Twelve spies go out and they go and spy out the land.
00:15:30 And ten came back with a negative report.
00:15:34 Majority doesn't always rule.
00:15:35 Two came back with a better report.
00:15:38 Hallelujah.
00:15:39 And they said, "Yes, it is everything that God said."
00:15:42 But the ten said, "But we can't go in and possess what God says belong to us because
00:15:49 there are giants in the land."
00:15:51 I want you to know that—how many know that God knew there were giants in the land?
00:15:57 But the one thing that God didn't tell them was that there were giants in the land.
00:16:01 He said, "Just go in and possess what I said belong to you.
00:16:06 God doesn't tell you about all the problems you're going to have going there.
00:16:09 He doesn't tell you about all the things that might happen as you go in.
00:16:12 He doesn't care about those things.
00:16:14 Why He didn't tell them about the giants?
00:16:16 Because giants don't matter.
00:16:18 All that matters is what God has to say.
00:16:21 Those obstacles that come in your way, they don't matter.
00:16:24 The only thing that matter is the promise that God has made to you and I.
00:16:30 Those giants don't matter.
00:16:33 So they could not enter in because they simply limited God.
00:16:38 How did they limit God?
00:16:40 When God made them a promise, the first thing they did was they looked at their ability
00:16:45 to be able to go and do what God has said.
00:16:48 They didn't look at God and who God is.
00:16:53 He's the one that made the promise.
00:16:55 And as Abraham says, "He's the one that will fulfill the promise."
00:16:59 But they looked at themselves, and when they looked at themselves and their humanity, they
00:17:03 limited God by looking at what they could do.
00:17:07 You got to take your eyes off of you, this earthly realm, this worldly realm, and start
00:17:12 looking to God and what God can do in your life.
00:17:16 The Bible says, "And they again and again, they limited God and prevented Him from blessing
00:17:23 them, and continually they turned their backs on Him and provoked the Holy One of Israel."
00:17:31 And so you and I have got to look to Heaven.
00:17:33 When God makes you a promise, look to Heaven.
00:17:36 Look to God to fulfill the promises that He has made to you and I.
00:17:40 Anybody have a promise from God you're standing on?
00:17:43 Well, in spite of the obstacles that come your way, the adversity that may come your
00:17:48 way, don't ever give up on God.
00:17:50 Don't ever stop believing God.
00:17:52 Look to Heaven.
00:17:54 We want Heaven to invade this earthly realm in which we live in.
00:17:59 Look at John chapter 6.
00:18:02 Hallelujah.
00:18:05 John chapter 6 in the Passion Translation, beginning at verse 5.
00:18:11 And it says, "And Jesus sat down," y'all know, y'all familiar with this story, but let's
00:18:14 look at this in the Passion Translation.
00:18:16 This looks to a place.
00:18:19 "And Jesus sat down, and He looked, and He saw the massive crowd of people scrambling
00:18:25 up the hill, for they wanted to be near Him.
00:18:28 So He turned to Philip and said, 'Where will we buy enough food to feed all of these people?'"
00:18:36 Now Jesus already knew what He was about to do.
00:18:40 Hallelujah.
00:18:41 With every promise that God made to you and I, He already knows what He's about to do.
00:18:46 He's just looking for somebody that will go deeper in their faith and enter into this
00:18:51 Kingdom realm to cause Heaven to invade the earthly realm so the promise that He's making
00:18:57 to you will be fulfilled.
00:18:59 Now He tells this to Philip, but He already knew what He was going to do, and He said
00:19:04 it to stretch Philip's faith.
00:19:08 God wants to stretch your faith.
00:19:10 He wants you to go deeper in your faith.
00:19:13 What you have is OK, but God has so much more for you.
00:19:17 In order for you to receive the much more, the turnaround that God wants to make in your
00:19:22 life, you gotta go deeper.
00:19:25 You gotta go deeper in your faith.
00:19:26 What you have is not all there is to have.
00:19:30 God has so much more.
00:19:31 He said this to stretch Philip's faith.
00:19:34 And Philip said, he answered, "Well, I suppose if we were to give everyone only a snack,
00:19:41 it would cost thousands of dollars to buy enough food."
00:19:46 Now think about it.
00:19:48 Jesus is now putting Philip in a position where He wants to stretch his faith.
00:19:53 So He sees this huge crowd, and we already know it's 5,000 men, not including the women
00:19:58 and children, and He sees this huge crowd coming and He turns to Philip.
00:20:03 He already knows what He's gonna do.
00:20:05 He knows He's gonna feed everybody.
00:20:08 And He says to Philip, "Where can we go to buy food that all of these can eat?"
00:20:13 And Philip said, "If we—I suppose if we would give everybody a snack, it wouldn't
00:20:19 be enough.
00:20:20 It would cost thousands of dollars to do that."
00:20:23 Now did Jesus ask how much would it cost?
00:20:27 He never asked him how much would it cost.
00:20:29 He said, "Where can we go buy food?"
00:20:32 Jesus will make you a promise.
00:20:33 God will say some things to you.
00:20:35 The first thing you would do with God is gonna cost thousands of dollars.
00:20:39 "God, I don't have enough money in the bank.
00:20:42 I don't have enough put away."
00:20:43 But God didn't ask you how much money you have.
00:20:46 He just asked you, "Where can you go get what I said belongs to you?"
00:20:50 And you were looking at the wrong thing.
00:20:53 But God will ask you questions because He wants to stretch your faith.
00:21:00 Sometimes you're answering questions God never asked.
00:21:04 Where can you go and buy?
00:21:06 It's gonna cost too much.
00:21:08 Don't worry about what it's gonna cost.
00:21:09 Where can you go and get what I said belongs to you?
00:21:15 And so, Andrew comes on the scene and he says, "Look, here's a young person with five barley
00:21:22 loaves and two small fish, but how far can that go with such a huge crowd?"
00:21:28 And Peter is saying the same thing.
00:21:30 Andrew is saying the same thing.
00:21:34 How—what can we do with this big old crowd with just a little boy's lunch, two fish,
00:21:40 and five barley loaves?
00:21:42 I think they needed to take a little trip to 1 Kings chapter 17 and ask the widow woman,
00:21:47 "What can you do with a little bit when you're about to make your own last cake and you're
00:21:51 gonna eat it and die?
00:21:52 But the prophet speaks to you and says, 'You're not gonna die.
00:21:55 I just need you to make me a cake first, but your barrel of meal and your crews of oil
00:22:00 will never run dry until God sends rain upon the earth.'"
00:22:03 God knows how to take a little bit and make it a lot, because every day they poured, there
00:22:08 was enough in that.
00:22:10 He said, "How much—that's not enough for this huge crowd."
00:22:14 God knows how to multiply—glory to God—and cause things to happen for you and I.
00:22:22 He said, "How far can it go with this huge crowd?"
00:22:26 Somebody said, "My little bit can go a long way when heaven's on the scene."
00:22:32 Glory to God.
00:22:36 Verse 10, he says, "Have everyone sit down."
00:22:38 And Jesus said to His disciples, "So on this vast grassy slope more than 5,000 people sat
00:22:45 down."
00:22:46 And Jesus then took the barley loaves and the fish and gave thanks to God.
00:22:51 You know in Mark chapter 6, verse 41, I want you to see Mark's account of this same story
00:22:56 and what took place.
00:22:57 In Mark chapter 6, verse 41 in the New King James Version, he says, "And when He had taken
00:23:03 the five loaves and the two fish, He looked up to heaven."
00:23:08 God wants you to take your not enough and look up to heaven, because when heaven gets
00:23:12 on your not enough, He turns it into more than enough.
00:23:16 He looked up to heaven and He blessed it, and He broke the loaves and gave them to His
00:23:20 disciples to set before them, and the two fish He divided among them all.
00:23:27 And there was enough.
00:23:28 Everybody had as much as they wanted.
00:23:31 Why?
00:23:32 Because Jesus, just like you and I, had to look up to heaven and look for heaven's reality
00:23:39 to manifest in this naturally earthly realm.
00:23:42 My Bible tells me there's a divine supply for every area of your life.
00:23:47 Philippians 419 in the Passion Translation says, "I am convinced that my God will fully
00:23:54 satisfy every need you have."
00:23:58 I am convinced, you need to be convinced, that God will fully satisfy every need you
00:24:05 have.
00:24:06 "For I have seen," Paul is saying, "I have seen the abundant riches of glory revealed
00:24:13 to me through Jesus Christ."
00:24:17 Paul said, "I got a glimpse of the finished work of Jesus Christ, and I know that God
00:24:21 will abundantly supply everything you have need of."
00:24:25 I've seen it.
00:24:27 I've seen it.
00:24:28 I've looked into heaven's realities, and I've seen it.
00:24:31 And I need you to know and be convinced that God will supply every need you have.
00:24:38 Deuteronomy 28, 12, the New Living Translation says, "The Lord will send rain at the proper
00:24:43 time from His rich treasury in the heavens, and bless all the work you do."
00:24:52 Hallelujah.
00:24:53 God will send rain from heaven and bless all the work you do.
00:25:01 But you understand, you have a choice.
00:25:05 You and I can live by heavenly realities, or you can live by this earthly reality.
00:25:11 The choice is yours.
00:25:13 And in Deuteronomy chapter 30, verse 19, he said, "Today I've given you a choice between
00:25:20 life and death, between blessings and curses.
00:25:26 Now I call on heaven and earth to witness the choice you make."
00:25:33 Of course, he said, "I want you to choose life, choose the blessing so you and your
00:25:39 descendants might live."
00:25:41 He said, "But I've called on heaven and I've called on earth to witness the choice that
00:25:48 you make."
00:25:50 So all of heaven will respond to you if you choose heaven's reality.
00:25:55 Or earth will respond to you if you choose the earthly realities.
00:26:00 And so you're living in whatever, one of those realities right now today.
00:26:05 Whether you have chosen the heavenly realities or whether you have chosen this earthly reality.
00:26:11 This earthly reality is limited.
00:26:14 There's so much that you can get from this earthly realm, and it's limited based on what's
00:26:20 happening and what's going on in the earth.
00:26:23 Philippians 3:20 says that we are citizens of the heavens where Jesus lived.
00:26:30 You and I, we occupy two worlds.
00:26:33 We're in this world, but we're not of it.
00:26:36 We are citizens from the heavenly realm where Jesus lives.
00:26:41 Hallelujah.
00:26:42 Let me say that again.
00:26:44 We are citizens of heaven where the Lord Jesus lives.
00:26:50 I come from above, I'm not from beneath.
00:26:53 I'm in this world, but I'm not of it.
00:26:57 Hallelujah.
00:26:58 And God wants you to know that He's given you authority in two realms of existence.
00:27:05 In this heavenly realm as well as in this earthly realm.
00:27:09 And that's why He said to them in Matthew chapter 16, He said to Peter, He gave him
00:27:14 the keys to the kingdom of heaven.
00:27:17 Now here Jesus is walking with His disciples and He says to them, "Who do men say that
00:27:22 I the Son of Man am?"
00:27:25 And they said, "Some say you're John the Baptist, some say it's Elijah, Jeremiah, one of the
00:27:29 prophets."
00:27:30 Jesus said, "But who do you say that I am?"
00:27:34 Peter gets a revelation from God and says, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living
00:27:40 God."
00:27:41 Jesus is excited.
00:27:42 "Peter, flesh and blood has not revealed that to you, but my Father which is in heaven,
00:27:50 He has revealed that to you."
00:27:53 Peter, you crossed over, you heard from heaven.
00:27:58 Hallelujah.
00:27:59 He said, "I can work with that."
00:28:01 He said, "I can build my church on that and the gates of hell shall not prevail against
00:28:08 you when you live from heavenly realities.
00:28:11 Hell cannot prevail against you.
00:28:14 And because of that, I'll give you the keys to entering in to this kingdom realm.
00:28:24 Whatever you bind on earth is bound in heaven.
00:28:29 Whatever you loose on earth is loosed in heaven."
00:28:34 And God is wanting you and I to experience what God has made available to you and I.
00:28:40 As a matter of fact, the New Living Translation said, "I will give you the keys to the kingdom
00:28:45 of heaven.
00:28:47 Whatever you forbid on earth will be forbidden in heaven.
00:28:53 Whatever you permit on earth," oh my Jesus, "will be permitted in heaven."
00:29:02 When you look and you see what heaven has for you, what God has made available to you
00:29:07 in heaven, you have the ability to call heaven to invade this earthly realm in which you
00:29:14 and I are living.
00:29:15 And so, you have the ability to permit or to prevent, prevent things from happening
00:29:21 in your life.
00:29:23 If it's not in heaven, don't permit it in your life here on earth.
00:29:29 If it's forbidden in heaven, you forbid it here on earth.
00:29:34 God wants you to experience heaven on earth and you have the keys to lock and unlock heaven's
00:29:42 realities in this earthly realm in which you and I live in.
00:29:46 In this earthly realm, the only things that you will get is physical things.
00:29:52 And we're more than just physical beings.
00:29:56 John 6 and 3 in the easy reading version says, "The only life people get from this—from
00:30:00 their human parents is a physical one."
00:30:04 But this new life that the Spirit of God gives you to a person is spiritual.
00:30:09 That's why we had to be born again.
00:30:12 And now because we're born again, we're not limited to this physical world.
00:30:18 Hallelujah.
00:30:19 There's more to us than meets the eye.
00:30:22 We are spiritual beings and we get our life source from the spiritual world.
00:30:28 Hallelujah.
00:30:30 Look at 1 Corinthians chapter 15, verse 47 in the King James Version.
00:30:42 It says, "The first man is of the earth, earthy.
00:30:47 The second man is the Lord from heaven," talking about Adam, the first Adam, and Jesus being
00:30:53 the second Adam.
00:30:55 "As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy.
00:31:02 And as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
00:31:08 And as we have born the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly."
00:31:16 And so the only thing that you get from this earthly realm or from your earthly parents
00:31:21 is this physical world.
00:31:23 He says, "But as you have born the image of the earthy, you shall also bear the image
00:31:29 of the heavenly.
00:31:30 So as is the earth, such are they that are earthy."
00:31:34 If you are only earthly-minded, then all you're going to get is what's happening in the earth.
00:31:40 If the economy goes bad, you're going to go bad.
00:31:43 If everybody gets laid off, you're going to get laid off.
00:31:46 If everybody get COVID, you're going to get COVID.
00:31:48 If everybody gets sick, you're going to get sick.
00:31:50 As goes the earth.
00:31:54 Such are they that are earthy.
00:31:57 But as goes the heavens.
00:31:59 Hallelujah.
00:32:00 Such are they that are heavenly-minded.
00:32:03 You have born the image of the earthy.
00:32:06 Yes, you came from a man and a woman.
00:32:08 Your mama and daddy got together and they gave birth to you.
00:32:12 You get — you born the image of the earthy.
00:32:15 But now that you've been born again, you shall also — you shall also bear the image of
00:32:21 the heavenly.
00:32:23 It was the Spirit of God that gave birth to your human spirit and caused you to be born
00:32:29 again.
00:32:30 If they did a DNA test on you, they would see that the blood of Jesus, that God is your
00:32:35 Father, that you belong to God.
00:32:39 You come from above, you're not from beneath.
00:32:42 Hallelujah.
00:32:45 And so, you and I have been born again, and we've been raised together with Him to live
00:32:50 this new life that God has made available to you and I.
00:32:54 Ephesians 2 and 6, the New Living Translation said, "For He raised us up from the dead along
00:32:59 with Christ, and He seated us with Him in the heavenly realms because we are united
00:33:07 with Christ Jesus."
00:33:08 Somebody said, "I am seated in the heavenly realms."
00:33:14 You are in this earth, but you're seated in the heavenly realms.
00:33:19 Hallelujah.
00:33:21 God wants you to take your position in the heavenly realms, and He wants you to open
00:33:26 up the heavens, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven.
00:33:30 Whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.
00:33:34 You are raised up with Him, to seated with Him, to be seated with Him in this heavenly
00:33:40 realms.
00:33:42 Colossians 3, verse 1, the New Living Translation says, "Since we have been raised to this new
00:33:50 life with Christ, set your sights on the realities of heaven, where Christ sits in the place
00:33:59 of honor at God's right hand.
00:34:03 Think about the things of heaven."
00:34:07 Somebody said, "Think about the things of heaven."
00:34:08 Now talk to yourself, "Think about the things of heaven."
00:34:15 He said, "Think about the things of heaven and not the things on earth, for you died
00:34:22 to this life and your real life."
00:34:26 Some of you not living your real life.
00:34:28 Your real life is hidden with Christ in God.
00:34:33 That's your real life.
00:34:35 You know, we can get so overwhelmed by things that are happening, and we start speaking
00:34:39 negative things or we start talking things contrary to God's will, contrary to the Word
00:34:45 of God, and we say things like, "I'm just being real."
00:34:48 Well, you don't know what real is.
00:34:51 Your real life that God has for you is hidden with Christ in God.
00:34:59 That's what's real.
00:35:00 Hallelujah.
00:35:01 That's your real life.
00:35:03 So God says, "Now think about the things of heaven and not the things that are happening
00:35:08 here on the earth."
00:35:09 I like the way the Passion Translation reads in verse 1.
00:35:12 He said, "Christ's resurrection is your resurrection too.
00:35:17 When He died, you died.
00:35:18 When He got up, you got up."
00:35:20 Hallelujah.
00:35:22 This is why we are to yearn for all that is above, for that's where Christ sits enthroned
00:35:28 at the place of all power, honor, and authority.
00:35:32 Yes, feast on all the treasures of the heavenly realm and fill your thoughts with heavenly
00:35:41 realities and not with the distractions of this natural realm.
00:35:47 Fill your thoughts with heavenly realities and don't be distracted by this natural realm.
00:35:55 Proverbs 4:23 says, "Be careful what you think.
00:35:59 Your thoughts are controlling your life."
00:36:02 That's why you have got to fill your thoughts with this heavenly reality and don't be distracted
00:36:09 by this natural realm.
00:36:11 There are some things that may be true, but they're not the truth.
00:36:15 You've got to begin to live by the truth of God's Word, and the truth of God's Word will
00:36:20 override the true things that you may see that are happening in your life.
00:36:25 Be careful what you think.
00:36:29 Your thoughts are controlling your life.
00:36:31 It is not your checkbook that's controlling your life.
00:36:34 It's not your job that's controlling your life.
00:36:37 It's not your husband that's controlling your life.
00:36:40 It's not your wife that's controlling your life.
00:36:42 It's not your children that's controlling your life.
00:36:45 It's not the pain that you are in that is controlling your life.
00:36:49 It is your thoughts that are controlling your life.
00:36:53 And if you yearn and set your affections on things above, it'll change the circumstances
00:37:00 of your life.
00:37:01 It can change your health.
00:37:03 It'll change your prosperity.
00:37:05 It'll change your family.
00:37:08 Think about things that are above.
00:37:10 Don't be distracted by this natural realm.
00:37:13 Verse 3, it says, "Your crucifixion with Christ has severed the ties to this life, and now
00:37:21 your true life is hidden away in God, in Christ.
00:37:26 And as Christ," verse 4, "himself is seen, for who he really is, who you really are,
00:37:35 will also be revealed."
00:37:37 Hallelujah.
00:37:38 When you see Jesus, for who he really is, who you really are, will begin to be seen
00:37:47 in your life.
00:37:48 See, Jesus didn't just come as an example for us.
00:37:51 He came as an example of us.
00:37:54 And as Jesus is, so are we in this world.
00:37:58 So if you see him for who he really is, who you really are, will be seen in your life.
00:38:07 He will be revealed, for you are now one with him in his glory.
00:38:15 Look at verse 9.
00:38:16 So lay aside your old Adam self with this masquerade and disguise, for you have acquired
00:38:26 a new creation life.
00:38:29 If any man is in Christ Jesus, he is a what?
00:38:32 You are new creation.
00:38:33 You are new creature.
00:38:34 The old man has passed away, and behold, all things are new, and all things are of God.
00:38:41 Somebody said, "I am of God.
00:38:44 I come from above, not from beneath."
00:38:48 So lay aside your old Adam self with this masquerade and this disguise, for you have
00:38:56 acquired a new creation life, which is continually being renewed into the likeness of the one
00:39:03 who created you, giving you the full revelation of God.
00:39:09 Hallelujah.
00:39:10 You heard a couple of weeks ago, like father, like son.
00:39:14 God wants you to know the full revelation of God, because when you see him for who he
00:39:19 really is, you begin to see who you really are.
00:39:23 Verse 11 says, "In this new creation life, your nationality makes no difference.
00:39:30 Your ethnicity makes no difference.
00:39:32 Your education makes no difference.
00:39:34 Or economy, status, nothing matters.
00:39:38 Those things matter nothing."
00:39:39 Remember, the giants don't matter.
00:39:42 Those things don't matter.
00:39:44 How much education you have don't matter.
00:39:47 What the color of your skin don't matter.
00:39:48 What your gender is don't matter.
00:39:51 How much money you got in the bank don't matter.
00:39:53 I have a new creation life.
00:39:55 I live by Heaven's realities, not this earthly realities.
00:39:59 I am not limited to what the earth can give to me.
00:40:02 I live by Heaven's resources.
00:40:04 God is my source.
00:40:06 When I see God as my source, I'll see all that God has for me come to pass in every
00:40:13 area of my life.
00:40:16 All of those other things don't matter.
00:40:18 Don't be distracted by this natural realm.
00:40:23 What is Christ?
00:40:24 That means everything as he lives in every one of us.
00:40:30 We live under an open Heaven.
00:40:33 And listen, your mind becomes a portal where Heaven can invade your life.
00:40:40 That's why it's so important that you are careful about what you think.
00:40:45 Setting your affection, having the mindset on Heavenly realities, and not be distracted
00:40:50 by this natural realm.
00:40:53 Don't be distracted by the physical realm.
00:40:56 He says in Romans chapter 12, he says, "I beseech thee by the mercies of God that you
00:41:02 would offer your body a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable unto God."
00:41:09 It's the reasonable act of your service or your worship to God.
00:41:14 You gotta give your body over to God.
00:41:17 Your body will talk to you.
00:41:18 It will tell you things that are happening in the world and how it's affecting your life.
00:41:22 But it will lie to you.
00:41:24 It's not telling you the truth.
00:41:27 It's only going by what it can see in the five physical senses.
00:41:31 So what do I do?
00:41:32 I offer it to God as a living sacrifice.
00:41:37 And then he says, "Don't be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing
00:41:43 of your mind."
00:41:45 The easy reading version says, "Don't change yourself to be like the people of the world."
00:41:54 He said, "Instead, let God change you inside by giving you a new way of thinking."
00:42:02 Don't change yourself to be like the people of the world, but let God change you by giving
00:42:12 you a new way of thinking.
00:42:16 Don't change to be like the people in the world.
00:42:19 Again, I start off by telling you, the world is giving us a perspective.
00:42:23 It's changing the way we think.
00:42:26 It's changing how we view things.
00:42:29 We're not seeing things from Heaven's perspective.
00:42:32 We're looking at what's happening in the world, and we're looking at those things, and we're
00:42:36 adapting those things as our own.
00:42:39 Don't change yourself to be like the people of the world.
00:42:44 The children of Israel, they wanted to be like the people of the world.
00:42:48 They told Samuel the prophet, he's getting old.
00:42:52 We don't want your sons to reign in your place.
00:42:54 Give us a king.
00:42:55 We want to be like all the nations in the world.
00:42:58 Samuel said, "You don't want to have a king.
00:43:01 God wants to be your father.
00:43:03 He wants to lead you.
00:43:04 He wants to guide you.
00:43:05 You don't want a, you don't want a king."
00:43:07 They said, "No, we want to be like everybody else.
00:43:12 Seems like the world is doing so much better than we are.
00:43:15 Give us a king."
00:43:16 He says, "No, you don't want a king.
00:43:18 If you get a king, he's going to reign over you.
00:43:21 He's going to take your wives, make them concubines.
00:43:24 Take your sons and the daughters and make them slaves.
00:43:26 Put your sons in the army and make them serve him.
00:43:29 They're going to take your vineyards, have you to grow food and give it to him.
00:43:33 They're going to tax you, take everything from you.
00:43:36 You don't want to be like the world.
00:43:38 The world doesn't care anything about you."
00:43:43 And they said, "We don't care.
00:43:45 We want to be like the world.
00:43:48 We want what the world has to offer us."
00:43:52 And so, God gave them a king and everything happened to them.
00:43:56 Took their sons, their daughters, their vineyards, their homes, their wives, taxed them.
00:44:02 They lost it because they forgot that God was their king, that God was their source,
00:44:09 that God wanted them to live by heaven's economy and not the world's economy.
00:44:14 He said, "Don't change yourself to be like the people of the world."
00:44:19 And king after king after king, the kings caused the people of God to get further and
00:44:25 further and further away from God and what God had for them.
00:44:31 And there was a king, Ahab, y'all remember.
00:44:35 He marries a woman called Jezebel.
00:44:37 And she really drives the people away from God Himself.
00:44:42 So much so that they begin to worship the other gods.
00:44:45 They begin to worship the god of Baal.
00:44:48 But God raises up a prophet, Elijah, to go and to confront the prophets of Baal and to
00:44:56 question the people of God.
00:44:59 You know, they worship these gods of Baal, and the word Baal means rain.
00:45:03 And they worship the god of rain.
00:45:05 And Elijah steps on the scene, he says, "Hold up, hold up.
00:45:08 I stand in heaven itself.
00:45:10 I stand in the presence of the living God.
00:45:14 And I want you to know that it won't rain till I say so.
00:45:18 Your God does not control the rain.
00:45:21 My God controls what's happening here on the earth.
00:45:25 And it won't—I mean you ought to have something on the inside of you to let you know that
00:45:30 you stand in the living—in the presence of the living God.
00:45:33 And things won't happen until—until you say so."
00:45:40 And you know it doesn't rain for three and a half years.
00:45:48 And then the people, they're going through for three and a half years.
00:45:53 God has set the stage.
00:45:56 They're in their desert place, but God is about to show up and to show you who the real
00:46:02 God is.
00:46:03 He's about to invade this earthly realm with heaven realities and to let you know that
00:46:10 He is who He says He is.
00:46:12 And when you discover who He is, you're gonna find out who you are.
00:46:17 Hallelujah.
00:46:19 So He goes—listen to me—He goes to the people of God and He says to them, "How long
00:46:25 will you be between two opinions?
00:46:30 If God is God, then serve Him.
00:46:35 If Baal is God, then serve Him."
00:46:40 And the people didn't answer Him because they didn't know anymore who is God.
00:46:46 I don't know, is He really a healer?
00:46:49 Is He provider?
00:46:50 Will He deliver us?
00:46:53 I don't know.
00:46:54 I know that God says He's a healer, but will He heal me?
00:46:59 I know that God provides, but will He provide for me?
00:47:02 I've been going through for so long, I don't know anymore.
00:47:07 We've been through so much, now I just don't know.
00:47:12 He said, "I tell you what, whatever God answers by fire, He is the true God."
00:47:22 Oh, glory to God.
00:47:25 May the fire of the Holy Ghost invade your life this morning, that you would know without
00:47:32 a shadow of a doubt who your God is.
00:47:37 May God answer by fire and burn out anything and everything in your life that is not God,
00:47:45 that you would know who your God is.
00:47:49 Hallelujah.
00:47:51 He said, "I tell you, get two bulls.
00:47:56 You take, you pick one, and I'll get the other one.
00:48:00 And you lay your bull on the altar and call on your God, and I'll call on my God."
00:48:08 And they said, "OK, we'll do that."
00:48:10 Y'all know that story.
00:48:12 First Kings chapter 18, they take the bull and they cut it into pieces, and they lay
00:48:17 it upon the altar, and they begin to call on their God, but nothing happens.
00:48:23 I'm telling you, nothing—when you stand in your place in God, every demon, the gates
00:48:30 of hell shall not prevail against you.
00:48:36 They begin to call on their God and nothing happens.
00:48:38 Elijah starts making fun of them.
00:48:40 Maybe your God is asleep.
00:48:43 Maybe you need to try him on Twitter.
00:48:45 Maybe Facebook him.
00:48:47 I don't know.
00:48:48 I don't know what's happening.
00:48:49 Try something else.
00:48:50 Maybe you need to call a little louder.
00:48:54 And still, nothing happens.
00:48:56 And they begin to cut themselves, where now blood is gushing out of their bodies.
00:49:01 And now, they've been doing this all day, and now it's coming time for the evening sacrifice.
00:49:08 And Elijah said, "OK, enough of that.
00:49:11 It's time for the real sacrifice."
00:49:13 Hallelujah.
00:49:14 Glory to God.
00:49:15 Glory to God.
00:49:19 And he takes the bull, and he cuts it into pieces.
00:49:24 And then he digs a trench.
00:49:25 He puts the wood in place, and he digs a trench, and he rebuilds the altar that was torn down.
00:49:34 It is time for the church to rebuild the altars in your life that has been torn down because
00:49:42 of adversity that has taken place in your life, because of the things that you have
00:49:46 gone through.
00:49:47 It's time to rebuild the altars of fasting and prayer.
00:49:51 It's time to rebuild the altars of seeking the face of God.
00:49:56 It's time to rebuild the altars of giving the way you used to give.
00:50:01 It's time to rebuild the altars that God has put in your life so that you can see the fire
00:50:06 of God in every area of your life.
00:50:10 He puts it on the altar, and he says, "Fill the trenches with water."
00:50:17 Now remember, it hadn't rained in three and a half years.
00:50:21 So this is a great sacrifice to go and get water and to throw it upon the altar and on
00:50:28 the sacrifice.
00:50:30 And he begins to pray, and he prays this prayer, "God, I thank you that you hear me.
00:50:36 God, let these people know that you've sent me, you've chosen me, and let them know that
00:50:44 you have already turned their hearts back to you."
00:50:49 He's prophesying, God is already this morning turning your hearts back to God.
00:50:54 You're no longer gonna live by this earthly realities.
00:50:57 You're gonna live by heavenly realities.
00:51:00 You're no longer gonna be distracted by this natural realm.
00:51:03 You're now looking to Heaven for everything that God has for us.
00:51:06 Let these people know that you have already turned their hearts.
00:51:11 And while he is praying, the fire of God comes down from Heaven, licks up the sacrifice and
00:51:18 the everything that's on the altar.
00:51:21 And the only thing that's left is dust because of the fire of God that came down and consumed
00:51:29 the sacrifice.
00:51:32 Listen to me, don't change yourself to be like the people of the world, but let God
00:51:39 change you inside by changing the way you think.
00:51:46 He says, "Then you'll be able to understand and accept what God wants for you.
00:51:52 You'll be able to know what is good and pleasing to Him and what is perfect.
00:51:58 You'll know, you'll prove for yourself what is the good and acceptable and the perfect
00:52:05 will of God for our lives."
00:52:07 Listen, we cannot be between two opinions.
00:52:10 If God is God, then serve God.
00:52:13 You can't go along with what the world is saying just because they pass things into
00:52:18 law doesn't make it the will of God for your life.
00:52:22 You have got to know who your God is, and you have got to serve the living God.
00:52:27 You've got to no longer be between two opinions.
00:52:31 If God is God, I don't care who says anything otherwise, if God is God, then serve God.
00:52:39 And don't be ashamed to serve Him.
00:52:45 There's no foe that can stand in the presence of our living God.
00:52:50 Hebrews 11—Hebrews 12, and I'll close.
00:52:56 Hebrews 12 and 2, the Passion Translation says, "Look away from this natural realm."
00:53:02 Hallelujah.
00:53:05 And we focus our attention and expectation unto Jesus who's birthed faith within us,
00:53:13 and lead us forward into faith's perfection.
00:53:16 Remember we've got to go deeper in our faith.
00:53:18 How do I do that?
00:53:19 Look away from this natural realm, and we have to focus our attention on Jesus.
00:53:26 He's the one that births faith within us, and He leads us forward into faith's perfection.
00:53:35 Mark 11 gives a story of Jesus cursing the fig tree, and the disciples are amazed at
00:53:43 what took place and what had happened.
00:53:46 And Jesus said to them in the Message Bible in verse 22, and Jesus said to them as a matter
00:53:51 of fact, He said, "Embrace this God life.
00:53:56 Really embrace it, and nothing will be too much for you."
00:54:01 I know the King James Version said, "Have faith in God."
00:54:07 Embrace this God life, this grace life, this heavenly realm life, this reality that God
00:54:14 has for you, and really embrace it, and nothing will be too much for you.
00:54:22 He said in verse 24, "That's why I urge you to pray for absolutely everything."
00:54:30 Pray for absolutely everything.
00:54:32 Don't think that, you know, you have all the answers, "Oh, I've done it before, this happened
00:54:37 before."
00:54:38 Pray for absolutely everything, ranging from small to large.
00:54:45 Include everything as you embrace this God life, and you'll get God's everything.
00:54:52 Hallelujah, hallelujah.
00:54:57 Include everything, no matter how small, no matter how big it is.
00:55:02 Our God, He knows how to get over to you everything that belongs to you.
00:55:07 You'll get God's everything.
00:55:10 God wants you to have His everything.
00:55:13 I know the King James Version, He says, "Have faith in God, for verily I say unto you that
00:55:18 whosoever shall say unto this mountain, 'Be thou removed, be thou cast into the sea,'
00:55:24 and don't doubt in your heart, but believe, go deeper in your faith, but believe those
00:55:29 things which you say come to pass."
00:55:32 You're gonna have whatsoever you say.
00:55:36 Say, "I'm a whosoever, and I can have whatsoever I say."
00:55:43 Can you see the attitude that Elijah had in coming to Ahab?
00:55:47 "It won't rain till I say so, I'm a whosoever, and I can have whatsoever I say."
00:55:55 Jesus said, "Therefore I say unto you, whatsoever things you desire, believe you receive, and
00:56:03 you shall," what?
00:56:05 "Have them."
00:56:07 Believe you receive, and you shall have them.
00:56:13 You and I can have what Jesus declared belongs to you.
00:56:19 Nothing can stop you from living in Heaven's realities in your life, but you have to be
00:56:23 convinced.
00:56:24 Convinced, put your mouth on what God belongs to—God says belong to you.
00:56:31 Begin to open your mouth and declare what God has said in His Word.
00:56:35 God wants you and I to experience days of Heaven upon the earth.
00:56:40 And you and I have got to allow the portals of Heaven to be open in your heart, your mind
00:56:46 being open to what God has for you, and it would literally change the circumstances of
00:56:52 your life.
00:56:53 Come on, stand to your feet.
00:56:56 Hallelujah.
00:56:59 Thank you, Lord Jesus.
00:57:02 Hallelujah.
00:57:06 Thank you, Lord Jesus.
00:57:11 If you would, allow me to pray with you this morning.
00:57:16 I pray that the Word resonate within your hearts and your mind, that God will so mock
00:57:21 your mind this morning, that you will stop looking at your present circumstances and
00:57:26 the things that are happening in this natural realm, and you start looking to Heaven.
00:57:31 Look to Heaven.
00:57:33 Heaven has everything that you and I desire and everything you need, and God wants Heaven
00:57:38 to invade this earth.
00:57:40 And you are the portal that God will use to cause Heaven to come into this earthly realm.
00:57:46 Come on, lift your hands high to Heaven.
00:57:47 Father, I'm so grateful, so thankful for the Word of God that you've implanted, imparted
00:57:54 into our lives this morning.
00:57:56 God, we believe we receive this morning all of Heaven's realities to manifest in this
00:58:02 earthly realm in every aspect of our lives.
00:58:05 Father, we thank you for the perspective that we get from Heaven, that we're from above,
00:58:11 we're not from beneath, that we're citizens of the heavenly realm where Jesus lives.
00:58:16 We're not moved by the things that are happening in the world.
00:58:19 We're not moved by what it looks like or what we see.
00:58:22 We are people that go deeper in our faith.
00:58:25 We walk by faith and not by sight.
00:58:27 Father, we thank you that we enter into this grace life that you have for us, Lord God.
00:58:32 We come boldly to the throne of grace, into the heavenly realm.
00:58:37 We thank you for your mercy and the grace that we need to help every time we need it.
00:58:44 We thank you, Lord God, for all of Heaven's best that is being released into the lives
00:58:48 of your people now, Lord God.
00:58:51 We thank you, Father, that you've made Heaven available to us.
00:58:54 And we boldly declare your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.
00:59:02 Father, manifest your kingdom realm.
00:59:04 We thank you, Lord God, that every purpose that you have for us will cause us to walk
00:59:10 in what Jesus has already provided for us in this natural realm.
00:59:17 Let Heaven invade every home in this place.
00:59:20 God, let it invade everyone, their children, their resources, their health, in the name
00:59:29 of Jesus.
00:59:30 We come against, Lord God, every sickness, every disease in the name of Jesus.
00:59:37 And we decree, Lord God, once again, by your stripes, we are healed, we are whole.
00:59:44 We walk in the prosperity that comes from God.
00:59:47 Spirit, soul, and body.
00:59:50 God we thank you.
00:59:51 And we give you praise for what we believe, we receive, and everybody agree with me?
00:59:57 Come on and give your God the biggest—hallelujah—the biggest shout of praise.
01:00:06 Glory, glory, glory, glory, glory.
01:00:09 Hallelujah.
