Uh, as Pastor Paul said, our focus is on carriers today. All right. And if you are a carrier here and have been helping us and supporting us, uh, I want to join my thank you to what Pastor Paul was saying and thank all of you carriers for what you've done in all the areas you served. And, um, we won't see everything you do. Some of you come really early. Some of you work through the weekdays and do different things for the departments, and we won't see everything, but we're very, very grateful. And as Pastor Mark says, if the carriers are here and they strengthen the nets, the carriers are like a network, and the nets are so strong. And then when people come to Christ, so people come to the church, we can care for them, we can take care of them, we can disciple them, we can minister to them, we can teach them, and they too will disciple and be strong in the Lord. So, you're part of a strategy that grows and increases the church of God. Thank you so much for what you do.
For those of you who are not carriers, I pray today's message will encourage you. And I was thinking of when I first started to serve God as a, probably as a 19-year-old, um, insecure, um, you know, passive, uh, very, very lacking any sense of esteem. I came from a, a messed-up background and coming to church, quite happy to sit at the back. I know some of you are like me, all right? Quite happy to sit at the back, unseen, unheard. I was quite happy with that until someone approached me and said, "Why don't you come and help in the ministry for the children?" And I was like, "Really? Me?" Like, you know, "What could I possibly do?" But I, I still went along. I went along and got involved with children's ministry and, uh, uh, and began to learn how to do those things. And then, you know, in time, they said, "Why don't you run the whole ministry?" And I go, "Oh, okay. Here we go." All right? Uh, but then I carried that. I carried that and began to do that as well. And later, they said, "Why don't you come and take care of the youth ministry?" So, yes, I was a youth pastor. I was going to tell Pastor Sam, I was a youth pastor. Um, a bit different from Pastor Sam Ho. He's very well-dressed. Um, I had very long hair. Um, I had a thick mustache, you know. Uh, I wore very colored shirts. Uh, that was the thing we did in those days. So, in my time, I was a pretty cool youth pastor. All right. Um, and, uh, you know, uh, a bit different from what we do now, you know. Um, now, this, this is a secret that's never been told, but I actually also served in the worship team, believe it or not. They, they, they probably had very poor standards in those days, but John did. They didn't have the standards for them to accept me. But anyway, uh, that's what we did.
My, my point is simply this: You, you don't always feel ready. You don't feel adequate. Um, I mean, who is worthy to serve the Almighty? You know, who can say, "I am good enough to serve the Almighty?" But what God does is, he gives us an anointing, the supernatural grace and capacity to serve Him. And that's why we step by faith and begin to experience that power of God and begin to serve. So, my message is called "The Anointing to Fulfill God's Purpose." All right. The, the anointing.
Now, remember also, we are in the 20th year here in Kingdom City, isn't it? We're in the 20th year, and, uh, and, and, and there's an acceleration. There is a growth. You know, think of the days where we used mechanical cars. Everybody is automatic nowadays, but they were the good old days where you could actually change the gear and kind of give it a bit of knew he could. It was great. Um, I don't know if you do that now, but, you know, all cars are like so smooth now. Anyway, uh, so, so as you go faster, as you go faster, you, you increase the gear, you go higher and higher. If you don't, and you keep it at second gear, uh, you kill the car. All right? You, you're going faster, and the car will be screaming out as you go into gear. And I think, I think the 20th year is the same. As we go into a new dimension and a new breakthrough and a new expansion, increase the gear. All right? Go up to upper gears, sir. Go to high. [cough] Go to a higher gear. Excuse me. >> Okay. Lift up. Lift up the speed. Um, but you see, when you, when you take the gear higher, it's actually less effort. It's greater speed, but it's less effort. The car starts to move, and you're always trying to work it up to fifth gear so the car can just cruise, and you, you're just, you know, going high. So, I think this is what: more speed, less effort, more ground. All right? Uh, for those of you who are carriers, ask God for the anointing that you can move in a greater dimension, in a more powerful dimension. You don't have to put more effort, just more anointing of the Holy Spirit, and you have more influence and more breakthrough in your life as you move into that dimension. Okay.
So, I want to show you, I want to show you here how, how the Bible shows us again and again how God takes ordinary people and anoints them, and they, they begin to do extraordinary stuff, and they just move into the supernatural. So, it's the same with us. The same God that ministered to them, the same anointing is the same anointing on us. And He wants us to move into that extraordinary place in our life. But before I talk about, uh, these, uh, anointings and extraordinary ministry, I want us to focus because also tonight, we start the 24-hour prayer challenge. All right? I'm sure you know that we start 24, and I want to encourage and invite every one of you to be a part of it, at least to choose one of these two-hour slots, to choose one of it. All right? To come and pray. And, and, and during that prayer time, our teams will be ready to anoint you. Remember, the message is on anointing. We'll be there to anoint you in the area that you need. All right? You can come to any one of the sessions. You can come to all the sessions if you want to, or you can choose a few to come to. If you are in a state where you go, "I, I need my, I need anointing for my children." Bring your children, come for that session. Uh, if you're a young adult, we actually have a special one for young adults. All right? We, we do want to pray for you. And if I may say this openly, quite often young adults come to me and say, "Can you pray that I may find a wife? I may pray a husband?" We get a little bit awkward about that, but actually, there is a great need to pray for you to find the right person. Actually, it's a powerful message. I'm glad you're asking me to pray for you. But I tell you what, we're going to have two hours praying for that. All right? If you're a young adult looking for a job, looking for a career, looking for a wife, looking for a husband, um, this is all for you. All for you. All right. Uh, we're going to just take time to pray for it, you know, and, and I'll be very glad if you come, and I'll be very privileged if I could pray for you. If I could say that it will be great if. But there's all the other things.
One last thing that you notice that in the middle hours, we talk about spiritual warfare. We kind of kept four hours for it. I believe, I believe we are entering a time where we do have to break the strongholds over the land. All right? We do have to move and break that. And there's a tendency to go into pride or fear. One anger, we go into pride. And these are strongholds that are coming in the land and affecting the land. Uh, our prayer teams will be here. If you're a prayer person, I do want you to be here. I'll be here with our prayer pastors, the prayer teams, but every one of you can come and join. Let's break the strongholds of the land. All right? But we will also anoint you in every one of the services. Okay? Let's go into the message.
As we talk of an anointing to fulfill God's purpose, and we recognize that you can sometimes feel so unworthy or so inadequate or not good enough. Can think of it, asking me to sing and worship. I mean, really, you, you asking a lot out of me. Um, you know, but there was some brave pastor who asked me to do that. Um, how do you do things like that? By the anointing of God. >> God gives you this supernatural capacity and power. Um, I'm, I'm sure I didn't sing very well, but people were probably touched in the service. All right. I'm sure I was not the greatest person who ministered to children, but lives were changed. Some of these children, I still meet them around, and they're walking with God. How can God take our broken lives and our inadequacy and yet do something so powerful and supernatural to change people? Because that's the anointing. That's the grace of God. He uses everybody who says, "Here am I, God. Would you use me?" Um, and, and, and he does. And he begins to help you, and, and not only is your life transformed, people around you are transformed, and that is the discipleship process.
So, I'm going to start with the first thing: The anointing, marked and chosen by God. Marked and chosen. The anointing marks you. The anointing brings you to a place where you are chosen by God. I'm going to take you to 1st Samuel chapter 16 and verse 13. This is the anointing of King David. He was a shepherd boy. He was unknown, unseen, in the background, uh, lost in the hills of Judea, taking care of a bunch of sheep. Nobody knew him. He was nothing and nobody. And he will become Israel's greatest king and greatest worshipper. You see the extraordinary transformation that God brings into his life in, in that journey because there was one thing he desired: God. And, and the same, every story in the Bible can be superimposed on you. All right? The story is not there just for you to read. The story is there for you to take and apply it into your life. And if an ordinary young shepherd boy can become one who brings the kingdom of God and brings the leadership of God and brings the worship of God into new heights and new dimensions, why can't God do that for us? All right? God can use some of you musicians, worshippers, production team, uh, designers, and just take you to new heights in the anointing that impacted a nation. And we are continued to be impacted by what David wrote, the Psalms and the songs he wrote. This shepherd boy wrote it, and we sing it now, and we read it now. Look at how God not only brought an anointing that shifted a very simple young man to be such an impact for the kingdom of God.
When, look at 1st Samuel chapter 16, we see, all right, that he was anointed in front of his brothers. Now, this is interesting. Samuel the prophet comes. Samuel bypasses seven older brothers and chooses the boy. Can you see how God chooses? God, God is not caught up with all the others. God knows who He wants and chose Him. And likewise, God chose you. So the day you accepted Christ, you were also chosen by God. He chose, He went through everything and goes, "No, that's the one." He chose you. He knows who you are. He knows the formation of your heart, and He called and chose you and anointed you to be that. He, he, he, he just missed the other brothers. And Samuel looked at the brothers and thought, "Wow, these guys look really amazing." And God said, "Samuel, you're looking at the outside. I look at the inside. I see the inner formation. You can't see it yet, but I can see. I can look at this young, unformed boy. All right? Probably timid and afraid, like I was. And I can see something in him." So God looks at you, and He can see something so unique and so special in your lives. And He's calling you, "Come, come and serve me. Come and serve my kingdom, and see what I will make you by the anointing that is released on you."
In the verse that we read in verse 13, we find that when Samuel took the horn of oil and poured the oil upon this young boy in the midst of his brothers, they're all going, "Why him? Look at us. We are the great ones. We are the better ones." And yet God picks somebody that they did not have any regard for. They didn't think he were. God has a habit of taking the least. God has the habit of looking at the ones that we think are unimportant, and He picks them, and He makes them great in the kingdom of God. And as God did this, look at the words: "And the Spirit of the Lord came upon David." That's the story. That's the secret of King David: the Spirit of the Lord, the anointing. It's the same secret that we keep in our lives. Everything we do, every time we pray and people get healed, every time we preach and people get saved, every time you disciple somebody in your connect group and their life shifts and they mature to God, every time you counsel a young couple that's struggling and your marriage gets strong, the secret is the anointing of the Holy Spirit on you. That is our secret. That is your secret to do the work of the ministry. In ourselves, we are inadequate. Now, it doesn't only apply to our ministry that we do in the church. It also applies to what you do in your workplace, in your extended family, in your marriage, in raising up children. Trust me, you need the anointing of the Holy Spirit to bring up children nowadays. All right? All the parents said, >> "Amen." All right. You need a supernatural anointing because the enemy is so after that generation, and you need to pray. And that's why I'm saying the way we have organized the 24-hour prayer meeting is, you can come and receive a moment of anointing, of prayer, of prophecy, depending on what area of your life. Is that good? All right.
So, it tells you the anointing was the most significant thing of this young boy who would become a general, who would fight with Goliath, who would go through some hardships with Saul. And yet he continued because the anointing of the Holy Spirit took him through every season, and in every season, formed him to be the man God designed him to be. That is our secret. That is your secret. That is mine: the anointing of the Holy Spirit on us. Amen. >> All right, let's move to the second one. All right.
As we talk of consecrated and holy for God, not only are you marked, not only are you called, God then consecrates you. He, he draws you to a holy place. He, he, he, he sets you apart for a holy ministry, and He calls you to be holy. Now, this, this one we need to take some time because we all know we're not holy. We all know we struggle with so many things in our life. Even now, we still struggle. We may have been Christian for a while. We can struggle with sin. We can struggle with depression. We can struggle with family issues. We can struggle with anger. Some of you had a big fight on the way. You were driving towards church. Don't li-, don't put your hand up. It's all right. And then you came to church, and then you worship God, and you go, "Huh?" All right? God knows that we do have problems. We do struggle with issues, and, and we're not adequate. We're definitely not holy in ourselves. We don't have. But we understand through the cross of Jesus, through the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, to the blood of Christ, we are consecrated. We are made holy. What a gift that God will come and make us holy to serve a holy God. Who would dare enter the presence of a holy God and worship God? Who would enter His presence? And yet we enter His presence and worship Him, and the power and the presence of God comes and meets us at that place. We know we can't even do life without that encounter and that presence. But it is God who consecrated us. It is God who made us holy to do these things.
And as I pick up that verse in verse 41, "You shall put them on Aaron, your brother, and on his sons. These were the priests. You shall anoint them. You shall consecrate them. You shall sanctify them that they may minister to me as priests." That God says the anointing, as you begin to pour that oil and begin to bring that consecration and sanctify them, they may stand and minister. So God calls us to be ministers. All right? So when you're part of the worship team, when you're part of getting involved with prayer and intercession and serving others, you go, "Am I worthy?" In Christ, in the anointing, I am. Yes. >> Because my confidence is in the anointing. So easily, your own thoughts or the enemy will tell you you're not worthy. And I think sometimes, just like my story, you feel, "I can't serve God." All right? "I can't serve in the prayer team. How can I pray? My life is so broken. My life is so messed up. How am I going to serve God?" But you do it in the anointing. This consecrated anointing that He comes and brings.
Now, the, the focus here is on Aaron. Aaron is the priest. He stands before the presence of God in front of him and he intercedes on behalf of the people behind him. Every one of us is a praying person. Every one of us prays because God sanctified you, consecrated you, and asks you to stand in His presence and minister to Him. If you will stand in the presence and minister, He will save your family. He will heal your family. He will restore your marriage. He will bring healing. He will bring breakthrough if you will come and stand and minister to Him in His presence. Do not take, I'm sure the worship team will like this. Do not take the worship part insignificantly. >> It is ministering to the Lord. >> All right. Don't be afraid to stand up if others are not. Don't be afraid to come to the front and stand in the presence of God, minister to God, because there's an anointing and grace before you. Just come into the presence and minister, and, and the power of God and the answer of prayer will go. So, hey, come and be part of our worship team. Come be part of our prayer team. All right.
Now, you, you know, you, you must be able to sing if you're part of the worship team. I, I understand that, and not all of us will be accepted by the worship team. Some of you will be rejected. But listen, if you get rejected by the worship team, COME AND JOIN THE PRAYER TEAM. We'll, we'll embrace you. We'll take you in. All right? We'll take everyone. Uh, we, we're not so fussy like those guys. All right? We'll take everyone to be a part of. Well, we are inclusive. Include everybody. Come on. No, I'm joking there. Of course. Uh, but many of you are, are good at production. Many of you are good at other things. And, uh, uh, worship is obviously one of the strengths we carry in Kingdom City, and you can be a part of that. You can be a part of our production. I, I did forget something in the first service which might, I need to remember. You can be part of the cafe. Do you think that, I mean, how important is coffee in all that we do? All right? Every carrier will agree with that. So, you can be part. I did tell the cafe guys I will mention them, um, at this 11:00 service. All right. And some of you may be really, really good at making coffee and serving. Be a part of it. But everything is going to help us become what God's calling us to do.
Now, I want to take you to Psalm 133:1 and 2. Pastor Mark talks of this passage. Some of you remember his teaching on this passage, um, that talks of the anointing of Aaron and how the anointing. So, the days will come where the psalmist, and this is David the psalmist, he takes the story of Aaron being anointed by Moses, and he brings it into this beautiful song, and he says, "Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity." He understands, as much as a king has a worshipper, he understands that before God, the unity is such a powerful and pleasant aroma before God. All right? He understands that he makes it into a song that he sings unto God. He says, "It is like the precious oil upon the head, running down on the beard, the beard of Aaron." You know, at that point, he's talking of the anointing on Aaron's life running down on the edge of his garment. So, he's talking of a lot of anointing. For the anointing oil to flow from the head down to the beard, right to the garment, that's a lot of oil. All right? He's talking of this. He's giving you the impression that God is not holding back the anointing. That God wants to give you the anointing in abundance, as much as you need. He wants to pour it on your life, on your business, on your startup if you're doing a startup, on your family, on your children, on your marriage, on your career, on your jobs. It's going, "There is no limit to the anointing." God is not holding back the anointing. He's going to flow so much that it will flow upon you as we come together. But he's also saying, as we come with all the different carriers serving the dream and vision of Kingdom City, if we come all together to serve that dream and vision, as we come into the 20th year, as we come into Vision Sunday, if we do, the anointing just increases in our life. So, if all of us come and bring something as a gift unto God, something in how we serve God, you can imagine the anointing will increase and flow down right to the edge of the garment. To use the language that Pastor Mark used, that means it touches everybody in our life. Not only those on top, but right down. Imagine it touching your family. Imagine you're going to meet your mother-in-law and having dinner with her, and the anointing is released, and, and you bring a word of knowledge to her. Imagine you go and meet a friend, and they're sick, and you lay hands, and the healing moves. That's the anointing flowing out from your life. Imagine you're sitting in a board meeting, and the wisdom of God comes to you, and you just give them a solution to what nobody has a solution. Imagine you're sitting in a place with very significant people making decisions, uh, for business or or government, and God gives you a word. Uh, that is the anointing flowing out of your life. Uh, that's what God wants to give you. That's what He wants to release upon our lives. The anointing that we may fulfill what God has called us to do. All right? He doesn't just call. He anoints. All right? He doesn't say, "Do this." He says, "I'll give you the supernatural power, wisdom, grace, and love," and even gives you the capacity to sustain in the difficult times. The anointing holds you through the hard times that you can have the breakthrough in the time of God. That is what is doing.
But let me add one more thing. I believe as we enter the 20th year, there's an anointing of prayer that is coming upon the house of God. God wants us to move into new dimensions of prayer and worship, uh, like we've never been before. He wants to break the strongholds over the land. He wants to shift this nation and country in a brand new place. Uh, so receive that anointing. Come and be a part of prayer and worship like never before. Press into these areas until strongholds are broken across the land. All right? And I think that's what Psalm 133, verse 1 and 2, is speaking to us in this time in our life.
Let me talk of a third thing. The anointing also equips and gifts you. All right? Equipped and gifted for God's work. It's amazing. It marked you and called you. All right? Holy and consecrated you so that you're holy. But then He also gives you the gifts. All right? The gifts of the Holy Spirit. He teaches you how to, gives you wisdom and understanding, miracles and healings. Gives you word of knowledge and words of wisdom in your life. Gives you faith when you don't have faith. All right? Gives you faith for what you're going through. So sometimes you're going through something, you think, "I don't have faith." Ask the Holy Spirit. He pours out His gift of faith and miracle, wisdom, and understanding in everything we do. Now, remember, you're sons and daughters of God. You're called, and you are chosen. God cannot call you and just leave you. God has to anoint you, enabling you to do what you have to do in every dimension of your life.
It was Jesus, and that's why I like this passage. It was Jesus who speaks in Luke 4 and verse 18. Jesus says, "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me." So, Jesus in His humanity is saying, "I'm coming just like a man like you. So you all can learn from me, just like you, human like you. I'm coming with all the needs and the inadequacies and the struggles of a person in flesh and blood." And, "but the Spirit of the Lord is upon me." And look at that word, "because He has anointed me." Jesus is depending on the anointing of the Holy Spirit to do the work of the ministry. He's depending on the anointing. How much more we, in everything that we do, we depend on the Holy Spirit.
He goes on to tell you some areas that the Holy Spirit comes to bring an anointing. First of all, He says, "to preach the gospel to the poor." You don't preach because you feel bad. You don't preach because you feel guilty. You don't give out "Be My Guest" cards because the pastor said to do it, and so you do it. You do it because you're anointed. >> You do it because you have an anointing. You have a power. You have an authority. You have a grace that is beyond your natural capacity. It's a supernatural spiritual capacity to share and invite people, to tell your testimony, to tell your story, and people listen to you, and the anointing fills that place. I find myself telling my story and testimony everywhere I go. I tell it on planes, I tell it at weddings, and I say it on funerals. I, I tell it everywhere, and people always go, "There was something when you said that, it spoke to me." And I know it's the anointing. I know it's not me, it's the anointing that's there. So, do you have an anointing?
Then He said that He has sent me "to heal the brokenhearted." I know we need healing from our own broken heart, but, you know, you are also a minister to heal broken hearts. Look at the words: "He sent me to heal the brokenhearted." Many people in our life, our family, our work environments are broken people. They came from broken homes, abused backgrounds, abandoned homes. They've been hurt. They've been betrayed. That's our broken world. You all know that. And we are all victims of our broken world. But not only does God heal our broken heart, He gives us an anointing to heal brokenhearted people. By your wisdom, by your counsel, by your love, by laying on of hands, you heal brokenhearted people. Don't be afraid to do this. Every connect leader, you'll have to learn to do this because broken people come to your connect group. All right? You know, we had somebody who said to me, "I don't want that person in my connect group." This is a true story, Pastor Paul. "I don't want that person in my connect group." So, so the, the, the pastor came up to me and said, "What do you do when they say that?" He said, "Why don't they want that person?" He said, "Because that person is so messed up." I said, "That's why God." Because they have an anointing to heal. Tell them, "God has given your connect group an anointing to heal broken people. That's why broken people are coming to your connect group. Your job is to heal them in the supernatural power of God, not to avoid them." All right? If you feel inadequate, you avoid. If you feel the power of God, you don't. You know you can heal them in your life. Sorry. Connect leaders, thought that would be a word for you. All right.
There's amazing capacity to heal people. Just lay hands and pray for them. As you lay hands, the Spirit will come. The words will come, and the words will bring so much healing to their broken story and bring them back to the power of God. All right.
"He sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives." People get captive. They get stuck in their broken story, in their anger, in their resentment, in their bitterness, in their unforgiveness. We were all there one day, were we not? We lived in that resentment. We were stuck in our fears and our hurts and our unbelief. Then God gave an anointing, and He set us free. Set us free from drugs. Set us free from alcohol. Set us free from sexual addictions, and set us free. We were all broken, messed-up people, and God set us free. Now, would you take that anointing and go touch the world? All right? Heal others who are hurt. I know you are hurt, and every time you're hurt, we open the altar. You can come, and we pray for you. But it's not only to find your breakthrough. It is to give others their breakthrough as well. Be bold. Be brave. The power of God is so great. You'll be surprised when it moves, and you'll go, "Whoa, I was not expecting that." And God brings divine freedom in people's lives.
"Recovery of sight to the blind." People get so blind in their hurt, in their anger, in their frustration. You talk, talking, talking, and they can't see it. They don't accept it. You need anointing. All right? You need anointing. When people are stuck in their mindsets and worldviews and belief systems and fears, and whatever you say, they won't listen to you. You start releasing the anointing. You pray for them, and start releasing the anointing, and in a moment of time, God will open their eyes. That darkness will be gone, and they will see, and they will turn to God.
And finally, "to set at liberty those who are oppressed." Oppression comes from demonic oppression. And people open doors like this, and demons come in and oppress them. And they're stuck there. They live in fear, and they live in, uh, you know, they, they're just stuck with all these terrible emotions and, and demonic attacks in their life. But you and I have an anointing to set them free. All right? Pray for them. Begin to release and pray and set them free. All right? You can pray for them, and if they open, you can lay hands and begin to set them free, and they will break. The demons will go. Demons do not like the anointing. >> All right? The anointing is a fiery presence of God, and demons flee in the anointing. You will feel the fire of God in your hand as you lay. And demons will scream and run. And you know what? You have that anointing. >> All right? [applause]
See, I, I, we carry this amazing anointing so much. So much. And I'm only telling you some. The Bible is so many more stories, powerful and wonderful. We carry this anointing. That's why you become a carrier. You serve in children. You serve in youth. I do want to mention something about youth. That has been an area that we've been talking about, that the prayer teams that come on our Friday night for the youth. We are really struggling to find people who come and pray for the generation. So I'm calling you, if you have a heart for the generation, if you don't want to lose that generation, if you know, you know, we need every mother and father, you need to listen to me because you have children. You don't want your children to turn away from God. And sometimes by investing into the ministry of youth, you bring your children into alignment of what God is calling you to do. So I'm asking you to make a sacrifice and come and join Pastor Sam Ho and what he does with youth, and be a powerful prayer ministry in bringing our young people to Jesus Christ. All right? We do want to see this. We need you to come and be a part of it. Again, again, you may say, "I don't know how to pray." Well, there's an anointing. "I'm not good enough." There's a consecration. All right? "Am I the right person?" You're called. You're marked. See, everything God gives you, everything He gives you, and it's only for you to respond. And I don't want you to respond out of guilt. I want you to go because I get the anointing. All right? Because this is so wonderful. I walk in the supernatural grace and power of God in everything we do. Of course, we need people in the connect group. We need people in the children's ministry. We need people in all the other areas that you saw with the carriers. We need. And if we do that, we build this powerful, powerful net. People will come, and God will hold them and cause them to grow. People you invite, there will be people to love them. They get a coffee, they get teaching, they get people praying for them. Every dimension, we take care of them. How strong they will become for God. How powerful the ministry will be.
Let me close by taking you back once again to the 24-hour prayer challenge. The slide is coming up. I'd like you to look at this now that you understand what I am saying and why I want you to at least be in one of these sessions. There will be oil, there will be pastors, there will be the laying on of hands and the anointing. You look at which one you must bring your family. Now, I'm going to be very open. And if you're struggling with marriage, come for the marriage and family one. If you're struggling with family issues, come for that. All right? Each one is focused in one area, and we will anoint you. We will pray for you. We will maybe we'll prophesy over you. You can tell us what the problem is. Sometimes in the Sunday service, we don't have much time to pray for you. Here, we've got two hours to focus on one area. We can listen to you. We can pray for you. We can minister to you. So, pastors, whoever is running these sessions, let's start with an anointing session. All right? Whichever role, let's start. So, make sure you come on that time, and we'll start anointing you. We'll start praying for you. We'll pray for your youth. We'll pray for your babies. We'll pray for everything that you need. Let the anointing break the yoke. Let the anointing set us free and take us up to a new dimension, to a new power, to a new authority, and a new place. Come on, I'll get the worship team to come. Let's take a moment to just soak in the presence. Then join us in the 24/7, whichever time, and let [music] us pray and anoint you. Come, church, stand with me as the worship team comes. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord. Begin to release. There's such a presence here. There's people praying and fasting already. And so the anointing is actually here. You can just lift up your hands and receive anointing for your life, for your ministry, for what you're doing, your workplace. Just begin to receive more and more and more. We release that [music] >> you [music] need you. My one defend my righteousness. [music] Oh God, how I need. Just begin [music] to cry out for Him. Sing, Lord, I need you. Oh, [music] I need you. Every hour I [music] need you. You're my one. Defend [singing] my righteousness. [music] Oh God, how I need [music] you, Lord. I need you, Lord. I need you. Oh, [singing] I need [music] you. Every hour [singing] I need you, [music] my one defense, my righteousness. [music] Oh God, how I need [music] you. Sing, You're all I want. You're [music] all I want. We need your [music] all I've ever needed. You're all [music] I want. Help me know you are [music] me. You're all I want. [music] You're all I want. You're all I ever. [music] You're all I want.

[music] My walking, my righteousness, oh God, [music] how I [singing] need you.
If you are, if you're listening to me online or you're in this room, if you're a parent, would you lift up your hands? I just felt that to pray for this service for parents that not only will God protect your children, but bring them up strong in the Lord, that there will be a generation of warriors, a generation that is so bold to go into the streets and preach and move in the power of God. I pray, parents, that you will [music] carry that grace and anointing. I break every attack of the enemy upon your children. Be they young children, be they teenagers, be they young adults. And I break that strongholds. I break the, the assignments of the enemy and begin to release a fresh anointing upon moms and dads to bring up your children strong in the ways of God, to bring them up strong [music] in the things that God is calling them to do. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Jesus. Mahana. Come on, everyone. Everyone. Let's, let's ask God for a fresh anointing. Let's pray that God, as we come into the 24-hour, God will just bring such a powerful anointing, word encounter. [music] So Father, release, shift us, uh, to a higher gear. Shift us, uh, to a new dimension. [music] Move us, God, uh, by Your grace, uh, by Your anointing, by Your power. [music] Shift us, uh, break us out, uh, of the indifference. Break us out of the apathy. I break [music] the apathy in the name of Jesus. Uh, let a passion, let a cry, let a hunger, let a new anointing come upon you. Move [music] in the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Move in the power of God. [music] Move in the wisdom of God, that every dimension of your life [music] uh, have breakthroughs, uh, increase, prosper, increase. I speak and release a fresher, fresher [music] new anointing upon each of you in Jesus' name. Jesus' [music] name. Oh, I need you every [music] hour. I need you. My defense, [music] my righteousness, oh God, how I need [music] you. For one last time, we cry out, "Lord, I need you. Oh, [music] I need you every hour. I need [music] you. My defense, my oh God, [music] how [singing] I need you." >> [music] [music]
