Well, it's already off to a great start. Amen. Hallelujah. I think I'm probably going to have to do an abbreviated portion today. My notes are 21 pages of bullet points. Hallelujah. And uh, the great thing is about these Tuesday prophetic podcasts, I can always pick up where I left off. But the problem is, is God's typically always saying something new each and every day for me. Amen.
But I do believe that God's got some uh, just a a structure today that's going to really give you insight and understanding both to to to really understand why you've been where you've been, the way you've been there, but also how to get and step into the place that God is wanting to bring you into and the divine assistance He has made available to all of us in this hour. You know, back in January, in fact, January 1st, you know, on New Year's Day, we had a uh a New Year's uh a New Year prophetic service, and we again, we shared prophetic words for 2025. And it was amazing how how many of those words came to pass in the very first uh first few weeks uh after inauguration. And and honestly, most of them came to pass even in the first four months. There's still a few that you can see the uh the the the stirrings and and the the undercurrents of those words that are about to come to pass.
But I want to encourage you this: When God speaks to you, you got to say it. You got to speak it out. Even if you're the only one you tell it to. Amen. See, sometimes you got to prophesy to yourself. Hallelujah. The most important prophet in your life is not the one you watch on YouTube, but the one you look at in the mirror. In the same way that God told Jeremiah, I ordained you to be a prophet to the nations, God is in God is calling us to encourage ourselves and strengthen ourselves in the Lord so we could deliver a nation. You know, even as we're at the the halfway point of what the Lord told us in 2019 would be a decade of deliverance. And man, it sure has been. Amen. He said that the first half of that decade of deliverance would be the deliverers being delivered so they could deliver nations. How many of you have gone through some pressing that you didn't know you needed, but you were glad that some stuff came out? Amen. Hallelujah.
But then also, you know, back in in January, we we shared a a series on vision. How many of you were with us for that vision series? One of the things the Lord has been speaking to me about is is is the importance of revisiting your vision statements, going back because the Lord told me those who revisit the vision He has given to you, He's going to bring divine revision that will revive you and revive others. And it does, it's not that He's going to ch he doesn't change what He said, but He's going to give you new insight for next steps because often times we hear what God is telling us to do and then we recognize this is the first step that I can take. But there are next steps that He's inviting you to take in this season to see your 2025 vision come to pass that will result in the restoration of the years the locusts have stolen from you. Amen.
You know, how many of you recognize Paul said in First Corinthians 15:46, "First in the natural, then in the spirit." Amen. And and you can, you know, and and we have a lot of stuff happening in the world, don't we? And I am so encouraged. Is anybody else encouraged? Amen. You see, we had to be, we had to encourage ourselves for a few years, but you can't help but be encouraged now. You only need one one working eye and half a brain cell to be be encouraged these days.
But I want to encourage you to not let off the accelerator of faith in this season. See, a lot of times when things are tough and you're in need of a breakthrough and that chicken little spirit is speaking where you think the sky is falling, you can pray, you can fast, you can all of a sudden seek God like you've never sought Him before. But I want to encourage you. Zechariah said in Zechariah 10:1, "In the time of rain, ask for rain. In the time of favor, ask for favor. In the time of breakthrough, go for the jugular." Amen. Because many up until this point have been living from breakthrough to breakthrough. But this is a month that you begin to break out in ultimate triumphant victory so that you can bring the spoils of the victory back to those who didn't have faith for their own breakout again, first in the natural then the spirit.
God has been speaking. In fact, Thursday afternoon, I started to feel rumblings in my spirit earlier in the week, but Thursday afternoon, I was praying into the coming glory of God that He had He has positioned for us uh in this month of July and about the God of glory. And pastor, I I I love our staff prayer times. It's kind of it's it's it's kind of different than a typical Sunday worship expression. Jeff and and Haley and Nathan will be uh kind of leading us in worship and my family and uh Pastor Sarah and some others will will will join and we'll we'll pray for your families. We'll pray into the service and it's just such a a prophetic time of being able to hear it and speak it right out and just flow of the worship and the word flowing together.
But God began to speak to me about the angels that He has assigned not just to this season but to your life that are being mobilized in this moment to bring divine assistance in the area where you have come up against demonic resistance. And you're going to recognize in this season, much like Daniel did, that just like how many of you remember in Daniel chapter 10, Daniel had unders he thought he understood the vision, the prophetic word from Jeremiah about the end of their captivity with Babylon. But he he he began to pray and he began to fast and he began to seek the Lord for greater understanding. And after 21 days, there was a breakthrough and Gabriel broke through and he was down on his face praying and Gabriel touched him. And when he touched him, in fact, it's a great description. Turn with me to Daniel 10. Let's go ahead and just look at this angelic encounter because some of you are going to begin to see angels even when I begin to read this. But in Daniel 10 verse 4, now on the 24th day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river, that is the Tigress, I lifted my eyes and looked, and behold, a certain man clothed in linen, whose waist was girded with gold of Ufas. His body was like barrel, his face like the appearance of lightning, his eyes like torches of fire, his arms and feet like burnished bronze in color, and the sound of his words were like the voice of a multitude. And I, Daniel, alone saw the vision. For the men who were with me did not see the vision, but a great terror fell upon them, so that they fled to hide themselves. Therefore, I was left alone when I saw this great vision, and no strength remained in me. For my vigor was turned to frailty in me, and I retained no strength. Yet, I heard the sound of his words. And while I heard the sound of his words, I was in a deep sleep on my face with my face to the ground. Suddenly, say, suddenly, suddenly. July is a month of suddenlys. Yes. To where it's boom, all of a sudden you're just still doing what you what what God told you to do. You're being faithful day in and day out. It's not that you've changed how you did what you did, but you've reached a tipping point in the spirit for the suddenies of God to be released. And suddenly a hand touched me which made me tremble on my knees and on the palms of my hand. And he said to me, "Oh Daniel, man greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak to you and stand upright, for I have now been sent to you." While he was speaking this word to to me, I stood trembling. Then he said to me, "Do not fear, Daniel, for from the first day," say first day. First day that you set your heart to understand and to humble yourself before God. David said in Psalm 35:13, "I humbled myself with fasting." How many of you have felt an increase called to prayer and fasting in this new year? He said, "When from the first day that you set your heart to understand and to humble yourself before God, your words were heard and I have come because of your words." And what is about to come from heaven to the earth is coming in response to the prayers you have personally prayed. God, all of heaven is about to release the heavenly host in response to the prayers of the saints who have prayed like sons and daughters of the Most High in this season. And we're going to see the groanings of creation silenced as the glorious liberty of the children of God are released. Even as we go into Fourth of July weekend, hallelujah, get ready to see some real freedom in the Holy Ghost, some real liberty, setting people free from the bondage of corruption and the bondage of Babylon. He goes on to say verse 13, "But the prince, the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me 21 days, and behold, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I have been left alone there with the king of Persia. Now I have come to make you understand." Say, "God, make me understand." See, understanding is a ministry of the Holy Spirit. I have come to make you understand what will happen to your people in the latter days. for the vision refers to many days yet to come. So he came to bring understanding of what will happen in the latter days. When he had spoken such words to me, I turned my face toward the ground and became speechless. And suddenly one having the likeness of the sons of men touched my lips. Then I opened my mouth and spoke, saying to him who stood before me, "My Lord, because of the vision, my sorrows have overwhelmed me and I have retained no strength. For how can this servant of the Lord talk with you, my lord? As for me, no strength remains in me now, nor is any breath left in me." So in other words, he had come to the end of himself, seeking understanding of what God had previously prophetically spoken. Then again, the one having the likeness of a man touched me and strengthened me. And the area that he was weak, he got touched supernaturally. Man, do you feel the wind? You guys feel that? See, man. Hallelujah. Praise God. I was getting a little hot. He makes His angels winds. And His ministers flames of fire. See, angels show up when you start talking about them. Healing shows up when you start talking about healing. All of a sudden, deliverance shows up when you start talking about how God delivers. Mark 16:20 says, "God works with us with accompanying signs and wonders when we go out preaching His word." That's why whatever you talk about, your world begins to look like. Oh man, greatly beloved, fear not. Peace to you. Be strong. Yes, be strong. So when he spoke to me, I was strengthened and said, "Let the Lord speak for you have strengthened me." He's like, "Man, that felt good. Do it again." And I want to tell you, you're going from a place of growing weary and welloing to being divinely strengthened so that you can reap that harvest with joy. so that you can not only enter into the time of breakthrough, but you can all of a sudden step into that place, what I call it's a it's it's a Daniel 10 door that is opening into us this July as angels are released to not only bring understanding and ministry accompanied with revelation. But how many you know that right after he got done bringing understanding, he said, "Now I got to go back and help Michael because we're going to fight the prince of Persia so that this word can come to pass." You see, how many of you recognize that you can't do what God can do? You can't do what angels can do, but angels won't do what God has told you to do. Amen. And so they they brought understanding. They asked him to be faithful over what God had told him. And then they said, "We're going back up to the second heavens to war on your behalf."
And I think one of the things that can cause people to unnecessarily grow weary is we spend more time focusing on the second heaven than living from the third heaven toward the earth. You see, you don't have a place in second heaven. You're trespassing in the place where principalities live, where spiritual hosts of wickedness rule, where there's darkness and deception. You you you're not called to even go through there. You live above there. When you were saved. In Ephesians 2, it said that He made us alive. Even when we were dead in our trespasses and He raised us up to be seated with Him in heavenly places. Somehow we didn't even pass through the second heaven. We went around it. I don't even know how it happens, but He just put us right there because who we were on the earth died and we were born again from above. And see where often times people can can get out of their grace or find themselves in a place of frustration or unnecessary anxiety is when they find themselves spending too much time focusing on what the devil is doing, talking about what others have done to them or trying to fight battles that God hasn't called them to. Amen. And this is a time this is a season to let the angels fight for you. How do the angels fight for you? Psalm 103:20 says, "Bless the Lord, you His angels who excel in strength, heeding the voice of His word." So, how how do the angels fight for you? You give Him a word to fight with. You don't just read the Bible to yourself. Read it out loud and shout it sometimes. Amen. You find something that really jumps in your spirit. You You get in a a posture of faith and begin to decree that word. Don't just read that word. Decree it. Eat it. Declare it. Job 20 uh Job 22:28 says, "Decide and decree a thing, and the Lord will establish it, and He will bring it to pass, and He will cause the light of His favor to shine on your ways." But notice, God has nothing to establish without you decreeing. But He sends His word. Isaiah 55, My word shall not what? Return to Me void. It shall accomplish what I send it to do. It'll prosper in that in that place. But He sends His word to you that His word could be sown through you. And that's how we see the word of the Lord prosper. That's how we see the word of the Lord prosper. So the way that I saw that when the Lord was speaking to me about this on Thursday afternoon, I was at the uh the gym on Friday and and and I I just I just kind of had like this this glimpse and the spirit. I was uh where Sam was there with me. Josh was there. We were doing the tricep pull down. Hallelujah. that that's a place I like to hear God. And all of a sudden, I had a glimpse in the spirit and I saw the prince of Persia being behind all of the stuff that we've been battling, of course, in the Middle East. Now, how many you know, you don't have to be prophetic for that. It was just I hadn't thought about it because I had been too busy. And I began to remember things that the Lord has spoken to me about the bondage of the Babylonian system, which how many of you have heard of Babylon before? You know, like anything in Christianity, you can take a a a topic and get weird about it. I'm not here to get weird about it, but I'm here to bring understanding to it. Babylon is simply a man-made system to cut off supply lines, to create lack, to control people, and to imprison people by making people a possession. And the Babylonian system is has been behind much of what's been happening in government sometimes in the church. It's when you use people to build your ministry instead of your ministry to build people. See, that's a man-made system. Because how many you know we're not the focus. He is. Everything that we've been given, we give away so that He can be glorified. And the Lord just started speaking to me about in the same way that what we've seen over Israel and Iran and over all of the the the Middle Eastern nations has been the prince of Persia overplaying his hands until a suddenly from God was released. There is an abrupt ending that is coming to the generational warfare that has created demonic resistance in your life to where all of a sudden you're going to go from fighting, fighting, fighting to now like what do I do now cuz I don't have to fight anymore. It's like all I've ever done was fight to exist, try to survive, and now all of a sudden the fight has ended. What do I do now? You begin to thrive. You begin to prosper. You begin to reproduce in others the victory that God has brought you into. And in the same way that we saw even the armies of Israel and the armies of like in the same way we've even seen ground forces being released, I want to tell you God is mobilizing angel armies. He is the God of angel armies, first in the natural, then in the spirit. Israel is the time clock of God. When you watch things happening in Israel, you say, "Okay, God, what is this? Is this a word just to them as a people? Is it a word to Your church? Because how many of you know we have been engrafted in Amen. We are heirs according to Abraham's seed. Galatians 3 tells us and God is mobilizing armies to make the enemy look foolish and to bring what He has planned for years to an abrupt end that will bring about great peace and great prosperity. Generations of warfare, not just in your life, but in your family line. I was going to say are coming to an end and the Lord caught me. He said announce the end of it now. I declare right now generational warfare in your family line ends in this moment. We're not waiting till July 1st. It ends this second. We declare and decree now that the generational opposition that has come against you, what you're called to do and has attempted you to cause you to grow weary and welloing, it ends now in the name of Jesus. It ends now in the name of Jesus. Give the Lord a mighty shout. Yes. Ho ho ho ho ho ho. Get ready to find out. Oh shaka. Get ready to find out how strong you have come have become in that place of resistance. As you have spent time under tension, get ready to find out how transformed you have become in the process. As God has not only revived you, but it's bringing to bring reformation to others and the resetting of nations. Nations. The clocks of nations are being reset. Praise God. The clocks of nations are being reset.
Couple weeks ago, I shared uh in a podcast called uh global tensions and godly turnings. I said, in the coming days, this is right before the the whole Israel Iran thing started flaring up. I said, in the coming days, I said there's going to be uh shiftings and shakings and stirrings that are going to cause some to call it chaos, others to call it calamity, but it is neither of which. It is for kingdom calibration that will bring kingdom collaboration. And I want to tell you, we have seen that play out. Calibration means that something was off and then all of a sudden it was aligned. That we were off because our focus was on the things of this earth, but now we are seeking first the kingdom and His righteousness. It's being aligned with the King. It's being aligned with the kingdom. And then He didn't just say kingdom calibration but I mean kingdom calibration but also kingdom collaboration, the working together. How many of you know like even if you look at what happened in NATO, you guys you guys don't watch the news. You probably shouldn't watch the news. Fina used to hate the news. Now she loves the news. You start crying. I'm like come on. Congo and Rwanda have a peace agreement. I mean come on. Everybody's quitting fighting. Hallelujah. It's amazing. Amen. But I want to tell you, we're in a time right now where where God is bringing about so many promises to pass so quickly. It's just like in Amos chapter 9 in the Message translation, He says that bless everywhere you look,
You're going to see blessing upon blessing upon blessing. It's going to be so much blessing, so much winning, so much victory that your head will swim. And I want to tell you, get ready to have increase, blessing, and promises fulfilled, answers to prayers you prayed on all sides. Amen.
And so what's interesting is even as we saw how even the nations are coming back into a place of realignment, the nations I was with, how many of you ever heard of Bonnie Shabda? Okay. How about Mahesh Shabda, her husband? Okay. Uh Bonnie and Mahesh are friends of ours. They were um in the South Carolina, North Carolina area, Fort Mill. Um and I saw Bonnie. I was uh at a Trump event in October for Pastors and Leaders. And uh she and I ran into each other. We hadn't seen each other for years. She's like, "Jason Hooper, what is God saying?" And and so I went over and I started sharing with her and I said, "What are you what are you seeing?" She said, "I was in the watch the other night for I can't remember how many years it been like 30 some years they've done this. 40 years. Every Friday night they do an all night prayer watch for Israel." And so she was at the watch. They were praying at their church. And she saw God pick up a plum line and begin to hold it over the nations. And how they responded to the plum line to determine the future of their nations. Now, how many know that God is not about exalting personalities, but he does use people? Donald Trump was the plum line. She said, she said, she goes, "Guess who was the plum line?" It was our orange man. If you know Bonnie, I mean, she's like she's wild like that.
And I want to tell you, listen, it's not about Trump. It's about somebody who had the balls to stand up for things that need to be stood up for. It's about someone willing to risk reputation so that generations could be set free. It's about someone who was able to see past the veil where the darkness really had been h been hidden and said, "Oh, this cannot go on any longer and if I have to lose my life to save a generation, I will." Amen.
And so this is a Daniel 10 window. Angels are being released on your behalf, not only for divine encounters. You feel the wind again. By the way, when you discern angelic presence, don't just don't just be like, "Oh, they come in with a message." One of the first things that I do in my personal private time is when I recognize that an angel has just come into the room or I recognize a manifestation. Different manifestations of angels can be you see a light dart across the room. How many of you you've just been just in a room and all of a sudden you see a light out of the corner of your eye just dart across the room? That wasn't a Haley's comment in your kitchen. That was an angel. And they're there to tell you something. How many of you have ever you've been in a place and there's not a crosswind, but all of a sudden you begin to start feeling a wind? I have certain certain angels that visit me at certain times at certain manifestations of winds. In fact, when the when the power of the Lord is present to heal, I'll I'll feel wind coming around my wrists like in in a in a counterclockwise motion. I'll feel certain uh manifestations on my right side at certain times. And I've learned over the years by asking questions What's your name? What what is your what are you here to release? Often times the name of an angel reveals the mission that the angel came to bring to pass. And so ask ask who are you? What are you here to do? Don't get weird about it. We don't worship angels, but we also don't ignore angels, right? There's a ditch on either side, right?
In this month of July, there is a divine window to not only have angelic encounter, but also to go after in faith what they came to awaken your understanding to because they're going to come and then it's going to be like it's going to be like they came and as quick as they quick as they came, they left. And I want to tell you, they didn't leave you. They're fighting for you in the in between time. In the same way that Gabriel came to bring understanding, he said, "Now I got to go back and help Michael." Why? Because there was one demonic spirit, the prince of Persia, principality. But how many thankful there's two angels for every demon. And see, together they could overpower him. But when Gabriel tried to get past the prince of Persia by himself, it said he withtood him. See, Gabriel came right when Daniel heard God sent Gabriel. But he had that resistance. And there has been demonic resistance to a lot of what you have been called to. Not because of something you have done, but because of the greatness of what you're about to do in God. And how afraid the devil has been. There has been a second heaven warfare that has tried to hold back the resources of heaven on your behalf. And here is the key. To not get your eyes on the second heaven warfare, but to be seated in heavenly places, to be faithful in the earth, and to welcome and recognize those divine ministers who come and and recognize, it says in Hebrews 1:14, "Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to those who would inherit salvation?" How many of you How many of you are saved? That means there's a whole bunch of angels that say, "We're here to help you." Amen. And it would be a high form of religious pride to think that we can accomplish what we're called to without some heavenly help. That's right.
I remember not too many years after I first came to Birmingham, a friend of my Dutch Sheets and uh Damon Thompson, they were down in uh Florida at a doing a tent meeting revival and uh they invited me down because Dutch had a word for me and he said that God had to bring somebody from the outside that had not grown up with the principalities of Birmingham to become numb to the spiritual surroundings, but someone to come in from the outside and say, "This is not the way that it should be. God has a higher purpose, a better way." He said, "But I want to tell you, not only did God bring you to Birmingham, but God has assigned angels to your church in Birmingham that you will have need of in the days to come to accomplish what your church is called to in this hour." And every time our churches come up against resistance, I know I know we're closer. I know we're closer. We're closer to what God has prepared for us. Say, "I'm closer." sir. So what has opposed re revelation in your life? What has resisted the manifestation of promise is not been aimed against you but aimed against the revival and the reformation that God has positioned you to bring. Again, the prince of Persian, the Babylonian system seeks to imprison people and cut off supply lines so it can control people through lack. But heavenly hosts are now being mobilized on behalf of the church. Revelation for reformation is being released and God is positioning his people for divine movement, momentum, and manifestation. I saw God beginning to raise up uh reformation. The way he said it was reformation voices. Not just reformation prophets, but voices of reformation. Voices of reformation. Just like Just like Hagi was, just like Zachchariah. Just like Isaiah was a he was a reformer prophet. He wasn't just a seer. He didn't just walk around in his underwear. Although he did do that. Listen, if I get my my uh my American flag uh cut off overalls in before next Sunday, guess what I'll be wearing next Sunday? Hallelujah. I wore it on June 10th. Me and Puit got a matching set. Hallelujah. I told Caleb, I said, "I got the perfect shoes to wear with them." Amen. But I won't shove my underwear. But if I shove an American flag overalls, that's why.
But I want to tell you, we are a reformer house. What does it mean to reform? It means to recognize that certain things in the earth don't look like what heaven has for them. And they're willing to speak hard truth from a heart of love. Not just to drop a bomb on somebody and go, but to continue to say, "This should be different, and I'm going to continue to pray into it, prophesy into it, sew into it, lay my life down for it until this part of the earth looks like what heaven is saying and wants released in this place." Not just revival in us, but reformation for those around us. And with this revival, reformation, working together will reset the nations for what God is desiring to do in our day. I saw a bale parezum door being opened this July. 2 Samuel chapter 5, David, the enemy of his past tries to show up in his present. And he began to ask the Lord. He said, "God, what should I do?" And God broke through his enemies like the breaking through of rushing mighty waters. It was a suddenly they were he felt surrounded and then bush God did the breaking and it was I was at the gym on Friday when I saw I saw a door and over the top of the door was Bale Perez and the Lord said walk through it and I want to tell you God is inviting you to not walk away from the resistance but walk into the opposition and in the place where you begin to move forward by faith uh toward what what is opposing you in your that situation that looks contrary, that storm that is trying to keep you from going where as you begin to walk toward it, the door is going to swing open. It I saw I saw it. I saw it open up before me in the gym and I looked over the doorway. It said bale presum and I said, "Well, Lord, what is this?" He said, "Step through it." I said, "Oo." And I stepped through it. All of a sudden, the power and presence of God came over me. I had to send Jev a video. I said, "I got to come to the gym more often." I said, "God's speaking to me up here." How many you recognize there are certain places where God will speak to you more so than others? Find the place where God speaks to you most and spend the majority of your time in that place. How many of you have certain places where you go to pray and you just hear God? But there's always a battle to get to those places. And then there's other places where you sit down and maybe you're used to working, maybe you're used to doing email. I've got places like this in my house. It's like on focus triggers. I have when I I've got a I've got a certain chair and a certain desk. When I sit at it, I'm very efficient. I'm very effective at admin. I've got a certain chair that when I sit in it, I'm very effective at being able to quiet my soul and hear the Lord. If I try to pull the grace from one into the other, it doesn't work.
Also, I recognize with my day and I want you to recognize your day. There are certain windows of time in your day that God has already appointed and anointed for you to be effective vocationally for you to be um connected relationally. And there's times where he's dedicated, anointed, and appointed you to be set apart to him personally. when I if I get up in the morning and instead of stepping into the grace that God gives me from the hours of 3 to 6, if instead of getting that time with him, if I try to get on email, if I try to manage finances, if I try to I find myself getting quickly frustrated about stuff I shouldn't be frustrated about. And the reason is is I'm acting outside of the grace that God has given to me for that window of time. See, it said of the sons of Isar, they had a knowledge of the time and they knew what to do. One of the keys for July and as you revisit your 2025 vision, one of the ways that God is wanting to bring revision is for you to say, "God, here's my calendar. What do you want to clear? What do you want me to do? What do I need to move off so that you can move in? What do I need to move around so that you can begin to move through?" How many of you feel that sometimes you have you're you're almost so busy you couldn't even have time if God did show up? That's always a good reminder to go ahead and pause and ask the Lord what he wants to begin to move around. Don't have time for that. That'll be Tuesday.
All right, with the time we got left, I think I got to do three more points. Joshua prayed for a clock and it stood still. I saw I actually talked about this a few weeks ago on a Tuesday morning. There is a grace like what was on Nehemiah that God is releasing for the restoration and the rebuilding of families, finances, and faith foundations this month. Nehemiah means the comforter of God. Who else was called that? Holy Spirit. Thank you, Sarah P. Come on. Hallelujah. There is a grace of the Holy Spirit to step in and to rebuild the broken places that other people have stepped past and lived with. To not just see the generational warfare come to an end, but say, "Now it's time to restore the desolations of many generations. to bring that restoration, that repair, that rebuilding in your family line. There's going to be entirely new family lines established to where all of a sudden, you know, like, you know, how many of you ever heard of like generational curses, generational sins? I got great news for you. When you came to Christ, you got connected to another tree. Everybody wants to talk about generational sin. How about generational blessing? Generational sin, third and fourth, but how about the blessings? A thousand. Amen. Amen. And I want to tell you, there are going to be re it's going to be a reestablishing in the month of July to where entire f like generational trends are going to begin to shift into a new place. And it no longer will be a a family tree connected to the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. But in this month of July, it'll become a family tree known for the tree of life that brings healing to the nations. Get ready to be reoriented, rebranched, and get replanted into your purpose as you receive this grace to restore and rebuild.
God spoke to us on Wednesday night. Please go watch that message on amazing grace. There was an impart, it was an unusual impartation of the spirit of grace, the richness of grace. And even Tina was talking about on Thursday, she goes, "I've never heard anybody teach about grace like that." She's like, "You know, I've always just known grace." She goes, "But I recognize like I have not been utilizing the grace of God that's available to me." And I want to tell you, grace is given to us as a gift, divine enablement. And amazing grace will be the the the characteristic of kingdom contrast in this season. It will be the separation between those who accomplish great things for God and those who continue to walk in the way they've walked up until now. God is giving blueprints and battle plans to break out from the battle from the bondage of Babylon. those man-made systems of control that have resulted in compromise as you enter into days of apostolic construction and prophetic confrontation to not just repair the walls, but to reset the gates and get ready to see the places where you've experienced the fires of adversity to become the very place God begins to hang a new gate of his glory so that he can begin to release a greater glory into the earth. In the book of Nehemiah, they hung the gates on the burnt stones. They didn't go find nice new stones. It was the stones that had been burnt. It was the rubble of the destruction. It was the rubble that had gone through the fire and still was showing up. It was the rubble that that that when everybody thought that it was going to take them out, they just they they you could you couldn't get them to quit. How many of you had that resolve in your faith? I want to tell you, God is going to use you as a gateway of his glory in this season. And as you begin to lift up your gates, watch how the King of glory begins to come in.
Pastor Jeff, in fact, why don't you come up here, Jeff? I'm talking I was going to I was going to share your revelation about no kings and the king, but listen, I'd rather hear it from the minstrel. No, as I begin to see all of this going on about the no king protest movements and all of that, it really awakened in me um the fact that there is a king. Come on. And it's the king of kings. And ultimately all of these other agendas, we can think they're about this or that or about social justice and all these things, but ultimately there's an undercurrent assignment of the devil to try to discredit God's importance in this hour. Because ultimately, for us to truly walk in revival, we have to truly be transformed by one image, and that is in the image of the King of Kings. So, and and typically what Pastor Jason and I over the years have seen is ultimately wherever the enemy attacks a people, a place or a thing, typically if you flip that and look at the redemptive side of it, that is what God wants to release. That's why I believe I I wrote a song for the city of Birmingham called the song of one because as I was riding through the city, I began to dream with the Lord about what the supernatural unity and a place, a city that ultimately was in the past known for the division, the division between the races, the division between this and that. Ultimately, what God wants to bring is a supernatural unity. And it was in that upper room place. It says when they came into a spirit of unity, that is when the fire of God fell in that room. And so I believe that we're forerunners in this place. And and this I hope it's not offensive to anybody, but I literally remember a time where Pastor Jason and I, we walked in this building and we looked around and our body looked white. There just was a bunch of white people. Caucasian. Caucasian. And I I remember Pastor Jason and I saying this doesn't start spending more time in the sand than the sun. I got to try to darken us up. I'm holding us down, y'all. I got the cracker anointing going up here. But I remember Pastor Jason and I walking and crying over these altars saying, "This doesn't look like heaven." Cuz heaven is diverse. There are white, black, Asian, Hispanic. There is every expression. And we lit I mean I remember us crying and I remember one by one we begin to see a house that begin to look more like heaven. And and so there is a cry right now for supernatural unity. And the enemy has tried to breed discord in the body and we get wrapped up in all of this fringe stuff that doesn't matter. People, let me tell you, when the world says there is no king, there is a king. Yes, there is a king. His name is Jesus. And I believe that he is looking for a people that are believing for him to do the impossible. And I believe that that that is the foundation. We're about to see things that the church has never seen. We're about to see the dead resurrected. We're about to see cancer eradicated. We're about to see amazing things. And I believe it hinges on this for a people that are so united with the spirit of God. They've been in his presence. They've sat at his feet. When everything else around them wanted to say, "You can't do this anymore." They just kept their eyes on Jesus. They kept just drawing from that oneness with him. And I believe that's what we're about to see. There is a king. I don't care what anybody marches and says. And it's not me. It's not Donald Trump. There's a king. His name is Jesus. and he's about to move in this land. I believe it.
And I'm going to say one more thing and just in addition what Pastor Jeff said when he talked about the things we're going to see. The truth is we've already seen all those things. When you stop seeing them is when you started taking for what you saw for granted. When you got when we have had the greatest days, moments, weeks, hours, and years of outpouring revival. We've had so many people look in from the outside and be like, "Man, nothing is happening anywhere like what's happening there." And just like in Jesus' day of Nazareth when they became too familiar with the with what they
Had prayed for. I remember so many people, pastors, leaders, people saying, "We prayed for y'all to come for 30 years. We prayed for a church like this for 30 years." And then somehow it took them three weeks to get distracted and get uprooted. Hallelujah.
I want to tell you, do not take for granted. That's right. When God answers your prayer in the time of rain, ask for rain. You cannot celebrate the goodness of God enough. You cannot be too thankful because when we become too familiar, we allow what is precious to become profane. And we are not a Nazareth. We're a Birmingham. We're a birthplace.
I remember when the Lord first brought me here, he said, he said, "Listen, people are going to call you a pastor, apostle, probably they've called me a lot of other stuff, too." But he said, "They're going to call you." He said, "But I'm sending you as my midwife." He goes, "Cuz Mary is my Birmingham." And he told me back then in 2013, he said, "30 years ago, I overshadowed her. And what I conceived in her that I desire to bring to pass, she looked for everything and everyone else to agree with what she was called to carry before she would believe it herself." He said, "I have sent you to this city to cause my body to believe again and who I have called them to be as my bride, my body, and my Mary to birth the end time revival that I want to bring into the earth."
That is who you are. That is why we're here. That is why we're here. And the truth is is if you're afraid of the messes that come with it, you'll never be a midwife. Yeah. Where there are no ox and the trough is clean. That means where there where people aren't doing stuff, there's no poop to clean up. But yesterday's crap is today's fertilizer for tomorrow's harvest. Amen. Hallelujah. You just got to keep walking. Stay up here with me, Pastor Jeff. We're going to pray in a moment. Let me just I'm just make a couple more declarations.
The days of your great contention have given ways to the days of great contending. And those who contend will not just see the kingdom come. They will be the ones the kingdom comes through. They asked Jesus, "When is the kingdom going to come?" He said, "It does not come with observation. The kingdom of God is within you and it wants out." The days of great contention have come to an end. This is the day for contending. Jes God told Isaiah, "Come put me in remembrance of my word. Let us contend together." God says, "Hey, why don't you come and remind me of what I said so we can agree." Do you think God forgot? No. He's looking for someone with enough faith to see it and to say it so he can agree with it.
I saw on Friday when I stepped through the Bale Perez door, I saw iron domes and David's slings in the body of Christ being released. Yeah, I know. Crazy, right? But I saw and what I saw was I saw the enemy's attacks being like these these missiles that were trying to take out the people, the promise and the position the possession of God. But then I saw a praying church. And as the church prayed, an iron dome and this David sling begin to intercept. The intercession begin to intercept the enemy's plans and took what he meant for our harm turned it into our good. And the plundering of the enemy's camp that we would populate heaven. That's why even Pastor Jeff started going into that camp meeting flare. I'm telling you, your prayer is going to plunder hell and populate heaven. Your prayers are going to intercept. Your intercession will begin to intercept, snatch. It's not just having the shield of faith to quench the fiery darts. It's saying, "Wait a minute. I saw a fiery dart released to this person over here. I'm going to go and begin to grab it in my prayer so that they don't even have to they don't have to battle it." that we don't just pray on the defense, but we get onto the offense and we begin to sling back at the enemy what he has slung at us.
God is mantling you for mobilization, momentum, and divine manifestation for these days to come. Stand to your feet. I want to pray for you. If you have been in in a time of what has felt like, this is how the Lord described it, an unbelievable, unexplainable resistance that felt unending. I want you to lift both hands. You just took the posture of victory. Hallelujah. I declare right now in the name of Jesus, just as we spoke earlier, the generational patterns of warfare have come to an end. And you have now stepped into a multi-generational pattern of victory for you and for the generations to come. You are being mantled not just as a revivalist but as a reformer, a rebuilder, and a voice to the nations. God is giving right now in that still small voice. Some of you are even beginning to see in the spirit divine strategy for your sphere of influence, blueprints and battle plans to break the bondage of Babylon and the sphere of influence that you have found yourself. And God is supernaturally resetting you at this moment for the rest of this year. This is a divine reset that God would reform, restructure, renew, and refresh.
I'm invite Pastor Jeff to pray and then I've got one more thing I want to pray into. Some of you have felt like Daniel. You've done all that you knew to do. And in the place where you used to have vigor, you found yourself frail. In the place where you used to have have some confidence in your natural ability, you've lost all confidence. But I want to tell you, heaven is getting ready to touch you, to strengthen you. And it's going to be the sound of his voice that begins to quicken and awaken you now. Father, I speak right now to a divine strengthening, a divine awakening. I speak a recommissioning, a fanning, a fanning into flame every gift that you have given. I thank you that this house is a treasure house. It's like a treasure chest of the kingdom. I truly believe that God has put his best riches in the kingdom. In this house, that you are his precious treasure. That you are those pearls of great price. and get ready in this season for how God not only shows off for you, but also begins to exalt you in the eyes of your naysayers so that he could show the goodness of God, the grace of God, and get all the glory for God. Jeff, what you got?
Yes, father. There we go. Father, right now I just speak over this house. Jesus, just that word about endurance that you spoke over us, God. Lord, I thank you for a people that endure. I thank you, God, for a house of people that endure. God, that where others would quit, where others would stop, where others would faint or fall short, God, I thank you, God, for the tenacity that you've put within this house, God, that we will not stop. We will not quit until we see every promise fulfilled that you've spoken over our families, over this house, over this church, over our city. God, right now, Lord, we just thank you, God, for what you've done. But Lord, our hearts and our focus are set on God, what you're doing right now in this hour. Lord, thank you for what you've done. But God, we are so excited and established in what you're doing today in this place. God, I thank you for those that had the temptation to quit. Lord, I thank you that they persisted. God, I thank you, Lord, that where there is a propensity for us to have forefeiter because of familiarity, God. That Lord, that we did not get too comfortable, God, with the fact, Lord, that in our midst is your presence. in our midst, God, have been amazing works, Lord. God, I just say, awaken the dream of your people in this house, Lord. Those that have laid down things that you want to see them pick up, God. those that have put on shelves, God, what you wanted them to have right now, Lord, and she God, ready to yield, Lord God, right now, I just I say, Lord, uh over this house that this next six months, God, would be a season of promise fulfilled. For those that didn't quit, those that didn't give up, watch and see what God is about to release to you, to your household, to your family. And I I just believe that there is there's this invisible endurance that you've not even recognized was there. But on the other side, you're going to see where the steady hand of God has kept you planted and rooted. Not not even in a work or a place. It's kept you rooted in his dream and desire for your life. And I just bless that in Jesus name. Come on. Thank the Lord. Thank the Lord. Thank the Lord. Thank the Lord. Thank the Lord.
I'm going to close with I'm going to close with this. Isaiah 11:11. It'll come to pass in that day that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people who are left. That 11-11, the 11 ines of rain, it was November 11th, 2012 that we started in Birmingham that we was our first Sunday here, you know, as as pastors. And it was right after that on December 12th, 2012 that the Lord, it was on 11-11, the Lord told me the merry the merry word. But on 1212, 2012, he took me into heaven on my way to Nashville. And he showed me the escrow accounts over Birmingham, the promises that were given between 83 and 88 that have been partnered with for a season. But there had been delay in the promise coming to pass because of the behind-the-scenes division that brought discord and disunityity that Pastor Jeff spoke into the unity about. Listen, your past doesn't have to be your present because it is not God's future. And he said that he and he said that if we would put the vision that God gave us for this house on hold for 5 years, that he would re-release those escrow accounts with interest that every promise that God had spoken, he didn't forget about it just because other people had moved on, but he was looking for a people, not just someone, but a people, a body to pick up those promises, to begin to partner again. He said he would re-release those escro accounts with interest. Cause keys to be given, doors to be open, and promises to be occupied. This is the season that we're about to step into. This is the season to occupy the place of your promise, to remind yourself, to remind God, to remember again what God has spoken that you have not yet seen. to contend with him, receive the key, and walk through your bail pism door. We bless you. We love you. We'll see you Wednesday night. Hallelujah. Come on, let's give the Lord a mighty shout of praise. Amen. He's going to do it
