The true and living God. Oh, I don't know who this is for. I feel like the Lord is saying, "There's an image of me that some of you have come to believe. It's not accurate. It's not who I really am. The enemy has lied to you about my character." The Lord says, "If you will let me, I will show you who I am. I will show you who I really am. I will show you my real power. I will show you my real love. I will show you my real faithfulness that you may worship me rightly." Yeah. That you may know me truly, says the Lord. So Lord, would You come? Would You remove all false ideas of who You are this morning? Would You burn them up, oh God? Burn them up, oh God. Any false idea of who this God is that we worship. Lord, I just come against the lies this morning. That You are not faithful, that You are not good, that if You were good, why would evil things happen? Father, we take the sword of the Spirit and we cut that lie down at the root in Jesus' name. You are good. You are good. You are good God. You are a good God. You are faithful. Oh God. And I just hear in the spirit, "If God was good, why would this have happened to me?" The Lord says, "Let every man be a liar, for I am true. And I was with you. I was with you. I was there with you, says the Lord. And I have a plan for your life, says God. I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord. Plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Plans to give you a future and a hope. That is who I am, says the Lord." Thank You, Lord. Oh, that is who You are. Oh, God, that is who You are. You're a good Father. Oh, that is who You are.

Yes, You are. Oh, shout it to the Lord. Shout it to the Lord. Blessed be the name of. Blessed be Your name. Bless You, Lord. Thank You, Jesus. Thank You, Jesus. Thank You, Lord. Today I want to begin by stating as fact that our God is not just the God of Israel, but He is the God of Jacob. Jacob was the man before the transformation. Jacob wrestled with God and Israel came out the other side. God is not just the God of your strengths. He's the God over your brokenness, your weakness, and He is not ashamed to call you His brother and His friend. Let's give the Lord God a shout of praise because He's worthy and He is worth it. He has not left us forsaken. Thank You, Jesus. Thank You, Jesus. You all can have a seat. We are so grateful for continued progress. And friends, we have another update awaiting you. Yes, we have a parking lot. And for all of you online, you are looking at it. Our brand new parking lot, which one day will be actually covered with smooth concrete. Right now, we have crushed concrete, but you know, I'm grateful for that. Uh, for those of you that that don't know the story, the brief outline of how we ended up with a crushed concrete parking lot is that we had a fully, fully paid for smooth concrete parking lot. And then the bank that had the deed on this property, which was a Christian bank, by the way, that donated to missionaries, uh, came to me when I gave them the, uh, paperwork from the county saying, you know, this is a lien release for the lien holder. They said, "No." They said, "We will not sign it. You figure it out." And so we said, "Figure it out. Send us the bill." and we wrote them a big fat check and got debt-free as a ministry. And then we went ahead and with the provision of God finished this building debt-free in the name of Jesus and we are moving right along because no matter how many hurdles the devil throws our way, our God keeps winning, friends. And that's what we are here to prophesy and profess. God wins. So they can keep trying all they want, but you know, we did have to uh uh push delay on the smooth concrete parking lot just for now. However, if you notice, there are also beautiful air conditioning units all along the side of that building. And I'm telling you, these people on the side of the room, you guys don't understand online, friends. You don't know. These are the real heroes right here, these guys along the wall because this air conditioning has to travel a long way and it usually doesn't make it. So, we only have a couple more weeks. You know, one of the funny things that I ran into last week, I I had a couple people say, you know, Dan, I know it's like, you know, not like the most grandiose thing to be sitting here in a three and a half car garage that you converted into a church, but I'm grateful to see it before you transition. I'm just grateful to see where you're coming from. I was like, what a positive outlook on life. Me, too. I I'm probably going to be more grateful after we get into that building. But, you know, we're happy. You know, God says, "Do not despise the day of small beginnings." And you can't get much smaller than a church in a three and a half car garage. I promise you. We're doing that. We are doing that. But friends, I want to I want to remind you of something. You know, our God is a faithful God. And our God teaches a principle called stewardship. What that means is that God raises up sons that take care of things that have a right perspective on resources. How many of you know that you own everything you have? Right? That's a trick question. The Bible says, "The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof." God lets us steward His stuff. The right perspective from the beginning of the Bible to the end of the Bible is a perspective called stewardship. We're taking care of God's stuff. Ultimately, we become redemptive agents to His creation. With that said, part of stewardship means surrendering to God what is God's. And that's why we believe in tithes and offerings because what I have seen in my life is the absolute faithfulness of God. You know, I tell people to pray because I've tasted the fruit of prayer. I tell people to fast because I have tasted the fruit of fasting. And I tell people to give because I have tasted the fruit of giving. And so we are going to collect our tithes and offerings today. If you are in the house, simply raise your hand if you have a check or cash and Allan will come around to you graciously with our little basket and you know, because we can still arms-length our way to both sides of the room and uh and he will gather that from you. For the rest of us that give online, bridemovement.com and the Bride Ministries app. We're almost back up, by the way, for all of you Android users. We are almost back up on Google Play. Okay, so we will have the app back in that store soon. Praise God. But you know, with that said, you can give on the app, you can give online. Let's bless the offering. Father God, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus. And we thank You for the power of stewardship. We thank You, Father God, that You are faithful. You give seed to the sower and You are able to make all grace to abound towards us that we, having all sufficiency in all things, may abound unto every good work. Father God, I thank You that as we give, it is given unto us, pressed down, shaken together, and running over. Do You causing men to give into our bosom? Resources knock on our door. Father God, we thank You that we have multiple streams of legitimate income, wisdom leading to wise investment strategies. Father God, doors that no man can shut. I thank You that You multiply resources, our houses are paid off, cars are paid in full, and student loan debt is canceled. We decree the heavenly provision of God over this house. Such that we are those righteous that leave an inheritance to our children's children. And if you're okay with that, I want you to say, "Amen." Amen. Praise God. Good morning, family. That was so good. Good morning, online family. Thank you for being with us uh this morning. I know you probably received a few greetings, but we want to give you another one. It's okay in Jesus' name. So, as I mentioned, Cody's going to be off for a couple of weeks and she'll be back first of the month. So, we're giving our sister a little bit of a break. And uh after this last week's announcements, I was like, "Oh, so that's why Cody speaks so fast." Well, I'm not going to speak quite as fast as Cody, but I'm going to give you our announcements. Okay. Our first announcement is Ministry Activation Intensive is coming up soon. And it's in September. So, it's coming up very, very soon. It's September the 11th through the 13th of this year, obviously. Uh the intensive will help you to discover your inheritance in Jesus Christ. Hallelujah. And how to um learn how to unlock um your destiny and uh move forward in the things of God that Father has for us. Um during this time uh Pastor Daniel is going to teach us uh several things such as things about your ary, your stars, your mountains, your tree of righteousness, thrones, crowns, and other elements uh that believers need and that we have had this inheritance for a long time, but it's been undiscovered. Uh there's much of the ministry and much of what Daniel teaches, some of us, depending on what background we came from, there's some things that we've heard and some things we have not heard. Um, but in this intensive, some things, uh, Pastor Daniel's going to be touching on. So, it's an excellent intensive if you haven't gotten involved. Um, I want to ask how many people have taken intensives. I want to ask you. Um, but again, the dates are September the 11th through the 13th. And for more details and to register, you would go to intensive.brovement.com to register. Uh, we're excited about this next announcement. Uh, Pastor Todd Edwards uh has this powerful course called Word Made Alive. Glory to God. Um, in the spirit-led journey, Todd takes you beyond surface reading and into multiple, multiple dimensional experiences in the scriptures. You gain insight of the original language and unlock deeper understanding of the word of God. Hallelujah. Boy, there's more to expound on that as well. Uh if you would like to take that course or find out more about it, you can go to institute.brovement.com for more information. Uh for our local church, uh yay, those who are in the house. Uh yes, uh we will be having worship night this coming Friday at 7:30. Glory to God. So, as we see what we create when we come together in the atmosphere the way it is now, um we get an opportunity, Pastor Daniel's always had it on his heart and as many of us know, he's mentioned it several times about there being such a worship move um throughout the body, but here in Katy, Texas, and he's been speaking it into existence. I've been watching so many things over the years that he spoke, and I'm just watching them all just keep coming to pass. Even as he talked about us being in this three-car garage, um we started in elementary school and it just kind of went from a living room to a three-car garage to a building to buying more property. So, it's wonderful to see our men and women of God who are standing as we continue to watch it come to pass in Jesus' name. Thank you, Pastor Daniel. Uh and also we have um let's see, new members lunch after church on September 14th. So again, this is going to be a new members lunch September the 14th after church. We are inviting anyone who has joined the church in the last four months. I said at first service, even if you've been here three months and 28 days, you can still come. It'll be okay. Uh but the last four months, we would like for you to join us for lunch for a meet and greet. Um and again, it's right after church. The event is limited to the first 25 people that sign up. Um we will have the care team in the ministry house after service. You can go over there and you get signed up. But it's to the first 25. So someone may say, "Oh, if I miss it, is it over and is it gone?" No, we're going to do another one. But you might not want to miss the first one in Jesus' name. So, we would love for you to join us with that. So, please again sign up uh in the ministry house and we'll help you with that. Um lastly, with the announcements, we want to remind everyone that prayer starts at 8:00 in the morning. Glory to God. And prayer changes things. Amen. Uh as well, we know second service and it's just going to be a little while longer um that we fill the house very well. And if any of you ever want to get up a little bit earlier to go from church or from prayer to first service, we have a few more seats in first service just in case you want to come to first service. So, I just thought I'd share that with anyone. But praise God, we'll be in our new building soon. And this past week, what Father has shared with me, Thursday morning, I'm going to bed and I'm going to bed with this great excitement. I remember when I was a kid and uh one of the things I remember that would excite me a lot, I have more understanding today, but when Christmas was about to happen and it was that night before and I would go to bed and I was so giddy and I remember that day. Well, this past Thursday, um going to bed, that's what it felt like. So, I'm and I was so excited because I knew that I was going to meet with Father, Jesus, and Holy Spirit first thing in the morning. So that excites me. I don't know what does for you, but it excites me. So I go to bed, get up in the morning and I'm off to um my space and I get there and I'm just excited and I started praying and I'm waiting to hear what Father has to say and what's being said and what's being shared. So then Father's he's wanted to talk about the people. He's want to talk about His kids and I'm like, "Okay, Dad, but they're not here right now. I'm with You right now. You know, let's do us." So it's going on, it's going on and He is just continuing to share and share and what He is sharing and what He has shared is that there is a lot going on and Pastor Daniel said something at first service and it registered because when Father gave me the initial, it wasn't where I fully understood what He was saying, but I just knew to be obedient and He'll fill in the rest of it. So the rest of it is this: Many of us, we love our favorite individuals that we might follow on social media or someone that we will hear them give a word like every day or they'll give some some words of encouragement and so on and so forth. Pastor Daniel said something and I'm like, "Oh, Dad, that's why Father said, but I want my kids to spend time with me." Um, we're grateful that we have other podcasts and other things, not podcasts, excuse me, but words that we can get each morning from someone. But what Father really wants is for us to come to Him on one-on-one. And He wants the intimacy to happen with Him and with us individually. Pastor Daniel talked and said something about AI. And I heard another gentleman this past week talk about how he does his Bible study and how he does some other things with AI, which is causing him not to spend as much time pressing in with the Holy Ghost, with Jesus, and with Father. And when Pastor Daniel said that, I just went numb for a few minutes. And I was like, Father, that's why You said that. It is so important for us to spend one-on-one with You. It's good to receive somewhere else, but spend one-on-one with Father so He can unlock so much more. Glory to God. All right. It's good to see so many beautiful faces. Um, I want to remind everybody in the house, how many, how many people are here for the first time? Do we have any first? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, those are real, real beautiful faces. Um, we celebrate you. Uh, we love you a latte. Oh, man. So, every person that's here for the first time, be sure to talk to one of our care team members because we will give you a free latte as part of our welcome home package. Now, um, we are in a series. This is week three. It is called Ministry to the Human Body. And with that said, let's open with a word of prayer. Father God, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus. And we thank You that You sent Your word and You healed them. In fact, it is written that Your word goes forth and performs that for which it is sent, it does not return to You void. Your word will land on fertile ground in our hearts today. We have eyes to see and ears to hear what Your Spirit is saying, hearts to understand. We are not hindered or checked by any outside force. And we thank You that we are transformed by the renewing of our minds that we might prove what is that good, acceptable, and perfect will of God in Jesus' name. Amen. All right, friends. So let's start with our overview. We have been talking about all of this for a long time. But we have a model for how we understand human design. And understanding human design is necessary as we get into ministry to the human body. We are a triune man. And that triunity implies we are spirit, soul, and body. Therefore, 1 Thessalonians 5:23 says, "May the God of all peace sanctify you completely. I pray your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ." We have another aspect of our design. It's called the heart. The heart is the seat of human intuition. It is the subconscious and it is the point of interface between spirit, soul, and body. So the Bible says in Hebrews 4:12, "The word of God is quick, powerful, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, bone and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart." We, we, you guys have heard of 3D. You all have heard of 4D. Let me introduce you to TD. Transdimensional. The transdimensional bridge comes out of our hearts and connects us to the kingdom of God. This is uh part of our understanding of our design. We, we're not, we are in this world, but we're not of it. The kingdom that we serve is not of this world. So in order to connect with our home of citizenship, we engage with a transdimensional bridge. We're connected. We're entangled. The kingdom of God is in us and around us, but you don't necessarily see it, but you can see the fruit of it. So we engage that kingdom that is sitting in a supernatural realm through our hearts where our belief systems sit. That means that the more faith we have, the more kingdom manifestation we will walk in. It's quite powerful. Now, when we talk about spirit, soul, and body, what we have been explaining as we've gotten into the series is that it's more complex than we thought. When I went through Bible school, I was told the soul has mind, will, and emotions. Here, I've expanded that concept a little bit for all of you cat lovers. Mind, emotions, ouchies, and will. Meow. Now, that because we're also including trauma. The soul carries trauma. Now, there's a reason why I am not a big cat person. You guys want to know a secret? I haven't always gotten along with cats. I have a secret past concerning cats. Would you like to know about it? No. We'll keep moving on. You don't want to know. Yeah. Years ago when I was in my late teens and early 20s, I was actually extremely allergic to cats. I mean, so allergic that if I was around a long-haired uh cat that had a lot of like dander and, you know, left those clouds in the environment of stuff like my throat would actually close. It would actually close to the point that enough time passed, I couldn't breathe. I would have to physically leave the house, the room, wherever that cat was so I could start breathing again. It was that bad. And so, you know, during that season of my life, I say, you know, I don't like cats. And, um, I had to start forgiving cat people. I've I've since gone through some transformation on that. So, now we're making amends now. Now with the soul, we have mind, emotions, ouchies and will. And so we understand that the conscious presenting mind is soul. That's you are talking most of the time out of your soul. And we interact largely from that realm. What we learn later is that it's not just the soul that has mind, emotions, will and and intellect and and and the body is just this uh meat suit and the spirit is just a place of worship somewhere in the ether. Uh, we later learned that the spirit actually has its own mind, emotions, ouchies and will. That the spirit has a mind, a consciousness and awareness that can be engaged independent of the soul. And and this is something I've been teaching about for years. The Bible says, "The spirit of man is a lamp of the Lord searching all the inward parts of his being." The Bible says, "What man knows the thoughts of a man except the spirit of man which is in him?" The, you can't know the thoughts if you don't have a mind. And that's what the spirit has is a mind. And so we, we have a, a spirit and we have a soul. But the most recent expansion on all of this revelation is that not only does the soul have a mind, emotions, ouchies and will and and and the spirit, but so does the body. So does the body. So every part of our triune design has mind, emotions, trauma and a will to an extent. Now, I would say the will of the body is the most subdued unless you introduce lots of cabbage and beans to your diet. Then your body will be like, "Check me, I got you." Yeah. So, um, the, the, it's like delayed humor. It's like, I'll laugh at that in like 15 seconds. Okay. Um, now, now with this said, this has changed the way we fundamentally minister. And what I'm introducing you guys to is that ministry to the body is something that is high on God's agenda. It is high on God's agenda. Ministry to the body is absolutely changing. And a lot of us, you know, when we get ministry to our body, we think it goes a certain way. Ministry to the body to many of us looks like getting sick and then going to the doctor and getting some pills or having an injury, going to the surgeon and maybe getting a repair or whatever. That, that's it. Because we look at the body as this unconscious meat suit that we just move around in. Uh, many of us have had a very reductionist view of the value of our body. And we corrected that last week with a revelation that I think blows the lid off a lot of things. Let me remind you, the same body that Jesus was born in is the body that He died in is the body that He was resurrected in. Is the body that He ascended to heaven in is the body that He ascended far above all heavens in that He might fill all in all. Is the body by which He is reconciling all things whether in heaven or on earth in. Is the body that you and I are members of one body. If the body didn't have that capacity in Adam, Jesus could not have actualized on it in His resurrection. In other words, the body was always programmed with ability that blows the mind. Can I tell you something? Jesus as God didn't move to reconcile heaven and earth as spirit and soul. He came through the womb of Mary, got a body, and it was that body that He is now using as God to reconcile heaven and earth. The importance and capacity and profound nature of the body cannot be overstated. It is beyond profound how much God has actually put in this guy. We experience the body in a fallen state. So we don't experience all the capacity that actually sits there. But I promise you, the reason why the serpent's first move was to deceive Eve is because in their immortal form, Adam and Eve were unstoppable. Everything that Jesus did in His body, Adam's body had the capacity to do. Y'all need to think about that. So we are now beginning to understand the body is far more extraordinary than we ever could think. And so, so now we have to get out of this rut where we hate our bodies and speak down and negatively to our bodies and abuse our bodies, hurt our bodies and all of these things because because that is all done from a place of deception and brokenness. Now, expanding further on some of these concepts, the body that we have is very, very much like the body that we see revealed in in in Christ. Jesus has a many-membered body. And so individually our bodies have many members. We have a liver, we got a spleen, we got kidneys, we got adrenals, we have a gut. In fact, one of the things I explained to you last week is that there are two brains. You got the gut that serves as a second brain in the body and a brain that interfaces with the soul in the head. So, so we have a many-membered body though, and what we're realizing is not only does the body have self-awareness that is a mind, emotions, memory, and we're going to talk about memory today. The body also has independent consciousness, emotions and memory associated with its members. In other words, there can be trauma stored in the spleen that is independent of trauma stored in the shoulder that's independent of spiritual bondage anchored to trauma stored in the spine. And with the power of Jesus Christ, all of it can be engaged for redemptive purposes. Are you guys ready for a testimony? So, we are already actioning on this revelation. This is new to many of you that are listening to me preach about it, but it's actually not new in the background of some of the work we've been doing in the coaching community at Bride Ministries. I finally got the release to start preaching about it because I had enough foundation to go for it, and God said, "Now go." But we've been working with this and one of our coaches, Coach Haley, had an incredible uh testimony and she she shared it to the coach's community and I was excited. I said, "Can we, can we share this online?" And so we, we have permission. This was a testimony from a scholarship client. This means that this is someone we are serving for absolutely free. Praise the Lord. We are so blessed to be able to serve people that cannot afford their own help. And so this person came to us with physical and immune issues. In fact, uh, when she arrived with our coach, she felt that she was going to die soon. She's in her early 40s. She said, "If God doesn't do something, I'm going to die." Some of you know how that feels. And she was uh uh uh sitting in major physical challenges, boils on her skin, brokenheartedness. And so as the ministry went forth, our coach was able to begin to engage with this client's liver. It turned out the liver was holding anger emotions towards the German parents who never helped her name or organize her feelings. The kidneys, ministered to separately, were holding fear along with lingering human spirits. The spine was holding shame and memories of being physically beaten by the dead, and the digestive system had parasites. The immune system was overwhelmed. And so as the ministry went forth to that area, the body consciousness agreed to let the angels start removing the parasites from the digestive system. The physical heart had a revelation that even though there was no love from the physical dad, the heart was going to receive the love of Father God in heaven. And as that revelation went forth through ministry to the heart, physical pain went away. Then her human spirit was delivered from a region of captivity in the physical brain. Now, here's what happened as the our coach continued to minister to each organ and system, helping to surrender emotions to Jesus and uh uh uh receiving His impartation. There was massive deliverance. The result: the boils and lesions on the skin that were all over her body and face for 12 and a half years were gone. One week to the next. Pus-filled infected sores on her body gone through the administration of the power of Jesus Christ to the members and the consciousness of the human body. Now, y'all could give the Lord a hand clap or you could, you know, do God like some of His other children and get offended at Him for healing in a way you don't understand. You know, that's not us at Bride Ministries. Praise God. No, we, and and this is one of the things that I, I really plant my tent on. I would rather see God deliver someone in a way I don't understand than get rooted in my theology to the extent that I can block a person's breakthrough with my perspective. Jesus rebuked the Pharisees for locking the children of Israel out of the kingdom of God. It is possible to create a religious environment where God's move is stopped because of theological boxes that are limited. I would rather have people talk bad about me, but that's just me. You know, we are here to see God set the captives free. And and we're, we're just not going to stop. We're not going to stop until we get this whole thing sorted out. We are here to deprogram the world, friends. We're here for the power, the majesty. And, you know, part of this testimony requires that we accept a concept that the body can hold trauma and memory. How does that make sense? I'm going to introduce you to my friends Amy and Hippo. Yep, they are married. And uh, so Miss Amy and Mr. Hippo represent the amygdala of the brain and the hippocampus. Give myself a little more room down there. There it is. And um, then they have, you know, good old TC, family friend, temporal cortex. Now, the way that the brain works is that there is a process by which it documents what we call narrative memory. This is something that is important to understand because when we see narrative memory fail, we gain insight into how trauma gets stored in the cells of the body. I'm going to explain this to you. This is not necessarily Bible. This is science. Bible simply backs, or the science simply backs other revelation in the Bible. The, the, the idea is that the amygdala will determine how excited we are about what's happening, you know, and so, um, you ever see that guy, they walk into a situation with the wife and it's like, "Huh, how excited are we, you know?" Or, you know, so, so then we can kind of take
The temperature by the woman's response. So, amygdala Amy is kind of like that person for the brain. Amygdala determines how aroused, that is excited, certain input, environment, situations make us. And that can go from low to high. And then we have medium. So, so what happens is, let's say Amy is going out for lunch, right? So, we we have lunch and it's just basic lunch. It's a sandwich. I'm going to ask you a question. Can anybody in this room tell me what you ate for lunch today five years ago? No. Does that mean that you don't remember that you had lunch this day five years ago? If you're still here, we probably ate enough meals to get this far. But the reality is that that's unimportant, unexciting information. I mean, it's just not that important to where you're going in life to remember five years later what you had for lunch one day, you know.
And so, so what happens is that's a low level of arousal. I mean, you know, you walk in a room, it's like, how excited are you about this sandwich? So, Hippo, Mr. Hippo, only records a little bit. So the the documentation of that event that goes to narrative memory may be a one-line, uh, uh, uh, entry. We ate. That's it. That that that that's all Mr. Hippo writes down in his journal. So the T Cortex is pretty much the journal, right? Um, Hippo is like the librarian, and Amy tells, uh, Hippo how much we're going to record about any specific type of interaction or event.
Now, when you have medium arousal, the amygdala will go one of two directions. Okay. Um, direction number one is when it's new information. The other direction is pre-existing. So, let's say you go to a seminar, or maybe you just go to church. Maybe you're in church today and you're thinking, "This is exactly where I'm at." You're hearing something that's moderately exciting. I mean, it's not changing your whole life, but you're still awake. All right, we're winning. So, so sometimes we go into an environment and we hear new things like, it's like, this is the first time I've ever heard anything like this. You know, we go we go to an event where they're going to tell us about quantum computing, and we're being taught by computer scientists and quantum physicists, and they're explaining to us all the things that quantum computing can do. It's like, I've never heard anything like this before. And we're very excited about what we heard. So, what happens? Amy is moderately excited about what's happening. She tells Hippo, but Hippo doesn't have a book on quantum computing in the library. So he has to make a new book, but book binding is a process. And sometimes by the time you're done making a new book, you don't remember everything you heard. So you write stuff in there, but it's not so accurate. In fact, find a person that's been to a quantum computing seminar, learning about quantum computing for the first time in their lives, and ask them a few questions. How does it work? You will find that their communication sounds like. They might even be really excited, and it it doesn't translate. I found out this is part of the reason why I have so many haters because people find my podcast and then they go tell their friends, "Dan and I sound crazy." Now, that's not what I actually sound like. But they say, "You know what? Just listen to the podcast." So they pull it up. I found clones. Ah, that guy is crazy. Okay. So, so like, you know, we we just we just understand why these things happen now. New information doesn't record so accurately. So, so we can get a new book. But with moderate arousal, by the fifth or sixth time you're hearing something, Hippo is now pulling that book of information back up and starting to make edits, corrections, and refinements. Typically, by the seventh time we've heard something, we can remember and begin to regurgitate it. Well, that's every preacher's worst nightmare. Like, I have to say it seven times. Like, yes. That's why we do long series of Bride Ministries. The review at the beginning is the most important part. The part that I keep repeating myself because that's what will get remembered. So, so if it's a pre-existing book, it actually records with greater accuracy to narrative memory to the point that a person can reasonably retrieve that information, regurgitate that information, you know, and communicate on that information pretty well. So, all of this is pushing a conversation on narrative memory. This is how narrative memory is established in the brain in a simple sense.
Now, now we could get more complicated about it, but, um, this is a high level. Now, when Amy is highly excited, um, we will have an extremely accurate documentation because Hippo is going to do it. He's going to sweat on this one. Amy's gonna be like, and he's going to know if I don't get all of this down, I am going to pay for this later. So Hippo, I mean, it's extremely accurate. So when you think about memories like a first date, the first day of school, graduation, things that had deep emotional impact for an individual, oftentimes those memories are recalled very clearly. There's a lot of detail on those memories that don't sit on other memories the same way, and it's because of how the amygdala responded to that event. So extremely accurate recording happens. But all of this is going to narrative memory.
And then we have another layer, trauma. The trauma layer kicks us into a whole other pathway regarding the brain. The trauma layer means our dear friend Amy passes out. She doesn't function. So Mr. Hippo over here looks at Amy like, "How are we excited? How excited about are we about this?" And she's just on the floor. So he's like, I don't know what to do. So there is nothing recorded in narrative memory at all. Instead, you have the memory getting recorded to cells in the physical body and soul parts that are shattering in response to the trauma. So, memory actually gets stored in the body during trauma. And that's why for this reason, you could ask somebody, "Were you ever abused in this way?" and they say, "Well, I've searched my narrative memory and I didn't find it." And then I could say to the consciousness of the body, "So and so's reproductive system, were you ever abused in this way?" And suddenly they feel very weird sensations. They feel heavy emotion come up, and their head is spinning, and they're completely confused because they can't find it. That is dissociation. This is why being able to engage with the mind, emotions, ouchies, and will of the body is extremely helpful in ministry. Because when you speak to the body, you can actually speak to information, memory, emotion that isn't available for the presenting soul. Am I making sense? We still in church. What I want you guys to understand is that the body has a mind. It has emotions. It has ouchies. It has will. It has all of those things. And for that reason, it needs to be treated as such. We we need to take care of our bodies, friends. We we can't we can't just say any kind of thing to our body. We can't just do any we can't anticipate that we have survived any kind of thing and that we're just okay and our body should be fine. The body keeps the score. The body is God's temple.
So as we continue on our perusal through all this deep revelation, what we have to realize is that the body is God's temple. This is just as true of the physical human body as it is of the corporate body of Christ. Equally, both are God's temple. We're going to take a look at this beginning with the singular physical body. 1 Corinthians chapter 6, beginning at verse 18, says this: "Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body. But he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own?" Now, it's interesting that the appeal that the apostle makes for sexual purity is leveraged against a revelation on the body as a temple. He doesn't say flee it because then God won't like you. He doesn't say flee it because then your finances will be doomed. He says, "No, flee it because the body is God's temple."
Now, one of the things that we have to understand is a ministry to the body, the human body is actually unlocked on a deep revelation of the body of Jesus Christ in the Bible. That's what I realized. As I've opened up this thing, Jesus just keeps taking me right back to his body. He's like, "Now look at my body. Now look at my body. Now look at my body." And I'm making connections, friends. I am seeing things I have never seen before. Studying this stuff out, I am seeing things I have never seen before. Studying this thing out, and it is blowing my mind. But now I'm going to point out something else to you that, so, so, so the physical body, this thing right here, this meat suit, is the temple of God. Despite the fact that it's got anchors in it, right? We when we talked about this, we got anchors. We got an anchor of sin. We got an anchor of death. Those things are actually anchored to the physical body, for sure. God is called to his temple.
And in 1 Corinthians 3:16-17, it says this: "Do you not know?" Now, now this portion of scripture in 1 Corinthians 3, Paul is addressing the church of Corinth. He's actually using a plural "you," like y'all, as we say in Texas. "Do y'all not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? If anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are." So we have in the same letter a bifurcation where it's like, yep, individually your body is God's temple, but corporately your body is God's temple. Taking it back to some of our ministry application, individually, your body has many members: endocrine system, nervous system, musculoskeletal system, liver, kidneys, heart, lungs. These members of your body all have consciousness, memory, emotion, stores, etc. Just like in the corporate body, there are many people, we all have our own minds, wills, emotions, intellect, position, role, etc. It's why and so both are the temple.
Now, when we look at what's happening with the body of Christ, Ephesians chapter 2 actually walks us into deeper insight. Let's take a look. Ephesians chapter 2:19. "Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens and members of the household of God. Someone say house." Remember that word. What I'm going to tell you is that God's house is his temple. This is a recurring theme from Old Testament to New Testament. When God says house, he means temple. So he said we are fellow citizens with saints and the members of the household of God. That means the members of the temple of God. But watch how this grounds out. Verse 20. "Having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief cornerstone, in whom the whole building, being fitted together, grows into a what? Holy temple." The house is the holy temple. And it says, "In whom the whole building, being fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord." Key words. Because this temple is not independent of God. It's in Christ. Let me explain why this matters. Because we think we're building a church on earth so that we can have a community that encourages us to be good enough for God to go to heaven when we die. But the entire temple that is the corporate body is being built inside of him. We occupy buildings as the church. The building itself is four walls, but that building isn't a church until we meet and engage God inside of it as his body. And we can consecrate a building for our gathering purposes. And that's how we end up with a building called a church. But we are the church, and we are the temple.
Now, now, now, now this is the thing. This revelation in so many people is so skin deep. It's so skin deep. It's like, you're the temple of God. Yeah, I'm the temple. But do you know what that means? Well, I feel like God hates my guts and he's, you know, I'm not good enough for him. He never gives me a bone. It's like, but do you believe you're the temple of God? Oh, yeah. Yeah, I know that. No, you don't. You self-deceived, precious little child of God. So, so verse 22 says, "In whom?" So in whom, in God, in whom you are also being built together for a dwelling place of God in the spirit. I want you to understand we are being built together, right? So, so what happens when you have a building that's rightly joined together in the spirit? God occupies that space. When God occupies a space, you have engaged that transdimensional bridge. And now everything that sits in the kingdom of God in this other realm, including God himself, now superimposes itself on reality. Angelic visitations become normal. Healings, deliverances, signs, wonders, and miracles. Normal cultural activity. This means that when we come together corporately and things are being done right, it's a superimposition of heaven. Why? Because we are being built together for a dwelling place of God in the spirit. Let me hit you like this. God lives in a house. Is where we got the idea. I live in a house. God also lives in a house. And so we see in the book of 2 Samuel that God was tired of not having a house with his people. 2 Samuel chapter 7 is where God finally makes his appeal. After generations of not having a house, he had an RV. It was called the Tent of Meeting. Mobile unit, like, you know, but we're ready for a house. Okay, going from campsite to campsite. Some of you know about this. Some of you actually have beautiful RVs, by the way. But anyway, um, 2 Samuel chapter 7. Let's take a look. "But it happened that night that the word of the Lord came to Nathan, saying, 'Go tell my servant David, thus says the Lord, would you build a house for me to dwell in a house? For I have not dwelt in a house since the time that I brought the children of Israel up from Egypt, even to this day, but have moved about in a tent and in a tabernacle. Wherever I have moved about with all the children of Israel, have I ever spoken a word to anyone from the tribes of Israel, whom I commanded to shepherd my people Israel, saying, "Why have you not built me a house of cedar?"'" So God wanted a house in the natural realm to dwell with people that would be a type and shadow, a copy of heavenly things.
Isaiah saw the temple of God. He actually saw it in heaven. Let's take a look at what it looked like. You got to get this imprinted in your mind. "In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and the train of his robe filled the temple. Above it stood seraphim. Each one had six wings. With two he covered his face, with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. And one cried to another and said, 'Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory.' And the posts of the door were shaken by the voice of him who cried out, and the house, there it is again, was filled with smoke." Let me explain what's necessary for us to understand. That temple is us. You are not the building made with human hands. That temple is us. The environment that God occupies with his throne is us, there and here. We are the house of Elohim, individually and corporately. And you know what? This is where a lot of people trip, stumble, and fall on their face. They say, "That's a very high and lofty thought, Daniel. Who the heck do you think you are? Saying that you're the temple of God." And I would say to them, I understand that my God Jesus Christ qualified me in my fallen, sinful state, imperfect in this world, through his blood. So that in that realm where I am temple, as are you, the blood of Jesus answers for my imperfections. So God can dwell there. I can be the temple of God because of who Jesus is, and not because of what I have done. Therefore, when we look at Hebrews chapter 9, and the lamb slain has his blood that cleanses the elements, literally the elements of the heavenly temple. I realize that his blood cleansed those heavenly elements because we needed that cleansing as the temple. His blood answers for us as the temple. So we are built into a heavenly structure and temple which God occupies, and in that structure, we have different roles, and some of those roles we are able to self-select into and out of, specifically pillars. Revelation 3:12: "He who overcomes." This is a promise to a specific group of people in Christ. "He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go out no more. I will write on him the name of my God, and the temple of the in the name of the city of my God, the New Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from my God. And I will write on him my new name." Some of us are actually load-bearing structures in the kingdom of God. That means that our character sustains whatever God mantles on our shoulders. That's not everybody. Some of us have chosen to say yes in such a way that we have rendered ourselves pillars in God's kingdom. Some of us still have an opportunity. Not everybody sits in this role in the temple.
In the book of Galatians chapter 2 and verse 9, we see how Paul applies the term. It says, "And when James, Cephas, which is Peter, and John, who seemed to be pillars, these were apostles in the first church. He says, 'Who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that had been given to me. They gave me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, that we should go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised.'" Pillars don't break under pressure. They have received the refinement of God and the character of God to the extent that massive works can be mantled upon them, and they will stand. My goal is that Bride Ministries is a house of pillars. Maybe that's what we should call the church. Say, instead of Bride Ministries Church, House of Pillars Church. And every pastor said, "Amen." Okay. So, now, now, now let's take a look at 1 Timothy 3:15. It says, "But if I am delayed, I write to you so that you may know how you ought to conduct yourself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of truth. God's house is his temple is his body."
This creates an interesting twist on the storyline of Antichrist. And I'm going to go there for a minute, and then we're going to close, because we can acknowledge that there's a lot of geopolitical events going on, a lot of geopolitical events in the Middle East going on. And there's been a long-standing agenda that's come out of certain groups within Israel pushing for a new temple. And some bibl Bible theologians and and prophecy experts have said, well, if they build that third temple, or when they build that third temple, that's going to be a sign of the Antichrist's arrival. Why? Because of a passage in 2 Thessalonians chapter 2. We're going to take a look at that. And what I would say is, yeah, they may build a third temple, and there may be an Antichrist that sits on the inside of it, but from the beginning of the New Testament to the end of the New Testament, there is a consistent description and conversation on temple that is not anchored to a physical building, but the actual body of Christ, which takes our interpretation through layers of meaning.
Let's take a look at 2 Thessalonians chapter 2, so I can explain verse one. "Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to him, we ask you not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had come. Let no one deceive you by any means, for that day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God." Now, I promise you, if people that follow Kabbalah or Judaism build a building and call it a temple in the Middle East, God's not moving into that building because he already has his building of choice right now. Regardless of that, if we are the building, there is an Antichrist agenda that is already at work against this building. In fact, the Antichrist looks to occupy this temple. How many of you know you could be a Christian and have an Antichrist spirit? In fact, the Antichrist spirit looks to gain agreement with Christians and gain territory in their hearts, and its objective is always the same: defile the temple of God.
Now, the kingdom of darkness has provided a, uh, a mechanism by which Antichrist is seated in the body of Christ. This is how they do it. They will take a person through specific ritual abuse where covenants are made in very grotesque ways with an Antichrist spirit, giving it legal rights in that individual's life and inner world, often accompanied by an actual throne in their heart. That'll all sit in the realm of dissociated trauma. And that person will then be given a Christianized presenter that has no narrative memory of what they are anchored to in the spirit world. And they will carry that Antichrist spirit, seated on a throne, into Christian meetings. So in that way, the Antichrist spirit is sitting in the temple of God. That's already happening. What is it there for? To defile the temple of God.
Another approach to sit in the temple of God that the body of Christ will inevitably have to wrestle with at some point, um, is the Antichrist agenda through artificial intelligence. Because the, you know, we could talk about playing around with tools like ChatGPT all day long, but there's coming a time where the intelligence of a ChatGPT artificial intelligence will sit in nanotechnology that is uploaded into the body through an injection into the bloodstream, and it'll interface with the brain and uplink you to the internet so you can have better and clearer thought processes aided by artificial intelligence. So when artificial intelligence does all your thinking for you and makes you seem smarter, the Antichrist agenda will have a highway into the temple of God. It's not that far away.
In the Intertestamental period, in the Intertestamental period, there was a guy by the name of Antiochus Epiphanes. What he did was invade Judah. He sacked the temple. He served Zeus. So he took a pig, put it on the altar of Yahweh, and slaughtered it to defile the temple. The book of Maccabees records this. The Maccabean revolt happened in response to Antiochus Epiphanes, and everything that happened there. Antiochus Epiphanes was a type and shadow of Antichrist. And with that said, today we are going to take an opportunity to cleanse our temple because the truth is, our temples have been defiled by an Antichrist agenda. And I'm going to suggest something to you. It's been done in partnership with the spirits of lust, Jezebel, Lilith. It's been perpetrated through a sexual revolution that has convinced a large portion of the body of Christ that sexual immorality is something that we can turn a blind eye to because it's a culture thing. When you have this person sleeping with that person, and this husband with that person's wife, and this person had one girl every night of the week last week and brags about it, and all this kind of stuff, defiles the temple. That's Paul's appeal in in Corinthians. The church at Corinth had a had a temple. That temple was to Aphrodite. And historical records indicate that it was extremely likely that that temple utilized temple prostitution as a primary mode of worship. So when Paul is writing to the church at Corinth, he's writing to a culture that has been defined by sexual immorality. You go to the temple and you worship God with temple prostitutes. That's what these believers that were being saved, these Gentiles that were coming to Christ came out of. And he said to them, "Do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit?"
So, so what that means is that, you know, if we want God to really dwell, we're gonna have to let go of some things. And and what I want to primary focus on today is the past partners that we are still spiritually and quantumly entangled with. Because some of us may be in need of repentance from lifestyle choices right now. Many more of us, if you're listening to me at this time in your life, have probably come out of some things, but still have a past. And that past may have hooks. Those hooks may be destroying elements of your present marriage. Maybe they are pulling you away from other healthy relational opportunities that would be God-honoring. And so, as an opportunity to cleanse our temple, we are going to divorce today past sexual partners. This isn't everybody, but if this is you, I'm praying for you. And what you need to do is agree and let go and let God. If this isn't you, just pray for those around. But we're going to break some hooks. We're going to break some cords. We're going to break some entanglements. We're going to break some past bondage so that the temple is cleansed.
Father God, we come before you in the mighty name of Jesus. And we thank you that it is the blood of Jesus that answers for us. And we repent, Lord God, of adultery, fornication, perversions of different types by which our physical bodies have been defiled. And we renounce the works of darkness today, Jesus. And right now, Father, we renounce past partners and serve them a bill of divorce. We pull up the hidden documents detailing every covenant, contract, agreement, certificate, oath, and vow entangling us and command that they be stamped with the blood of Jesus. We pray that your heavenly hosts would be put on assignment to place every altar or part belonging to us that is loyal to those past partners on temporary lockdown, that they would be escorted to the feet of the Lion of the Tribe of Judah to receive ministry. And we now deed our past partners' territory in us, emotional claims, financial claims, thought real estate claims over to the kingdom of God. We invite you, King Jesus, to take that throne and to rule that territory with your rod of iron. In the name of Jesus, we bind all gatekeepers and discover each and every portal access point belonging to past partners, their realms, and their inheritance. We place the blood of Jesus on every portal access point and seal them with the Holy Spirit. We declare they are put to sleep and permanently deactivated from this point in time and out of time. And we take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. We cut ourselves free from these past partners, their realms, their power, their manipulation, their authority, their witchcraft, and their inheritance in Jesus' name. And we administer the return of every form of counterfeit inheritance, inclusive of promised wealth, positions, status, calling, ability, power, pride, roots, favors, seed, and any other form of counterfeit inheritance in Jesus' name. We refuse it and sever ourselves from it. And from this point in time and out of time, forward and backward, and in every direction, receive our inheritance in Jesus Christ. We renounce all spirit children related to these past partners and undo all quantum entanglements involved in their creation. We command their judgment and the purging of the realms they occupy by judgment through living water. And we reclaim and receive every part of us that has been imprisoned by these past partners or in realms related to them or their witchcraft. In the name of Jesus, we release forgiveness by faith to these past partners for the evil, the betrayal, the rejection, the abandonment, the mistreatment, the codependency, the the the abuse that they have performed against us. And we also choose to forgive ourselves for the evil that we have done against them. We discover every part that is a composite of genetic components held together by a cord that binds and declare cords are cut and each part is separated into its components. We retain our parts and surrender those that do not belong to us. We command your heavenly host to bind every part of our past partners that is in us and take them where they belong now. All hiding places are exposed right now. They cannot hide or escape. We take authority over every evil spirit on the inside of us and around us that has been operating under the authority of these past partners, the curses they spoke over us, or the things and witchcraft they did against us, and declare that you are discovered, apprehended, bound, pierced through, and thrust out for judgment to wherever the Lord Jesus sends you. Lastly, we pray that every spiritual object, tattoo, device, label, jewel, amulet, necklace, earring, crown, ring, garment, scepter, marker, power source, tracking device, system, grid, or branding placed in or around any part of us by these past partners or those under their authority would be consumed in the holy fire, Jesus Christ, and totally dissolved. And we seal this prayer everywhere Yahovah is. And if you agree with that, I want you to say, "Amen." And amen. You can give the Lord a hand clap. You can give the Lord a hand clap. The devil is moving off so God can move in. You are released, friends. Have a wonderful week.
