So, I always say, "Good morning" to remind you who you are in Christ. You have to keep that in mind every day. So, that's how I greet you: "Good morning, redeemed, holy, blameless, thank you for the enthusiasm, royal priesthood, new creation, chosen for God's good pleasure." Some are still satisfied with that. "Good morning, beloved, child of God, dearly bought, called in love, spiced, and founded." How good is that? That's what God says about you. Do you think so? Let's take a little look inside. What are you standing on this morning? Look at this list. That's like in the bathroom, with water, smelling nice. "Pre-ordained Lord." Exactly. That's how it is. "Ambassadors of Christ." You sit with Jesus in heavenly places. Where do you sit? I sit here in the house of David, with my hands, but in the spirit, at the right hand of my Lord, far above all power and all evil. I don't look at it from below; I look down from above, over the circumstances. So, if I ask you, "How are you?" and you tell me, "Under the circumstances," what are you looking for there? Okay, that excites me. If I look at each of these, what God says about me. That's what you wanted. I'm just about to get strength. Over you. So, a little early. But thank you, thank you. A lung. Thank you, Jesus. Yes. Two. I want to be hurt. Do you know that? People hurt. Am I hurt? It makes you strong. Am I criticized? It makes you interesting. Am I envied? It makes you valuable. And sometimes it's knowing that those who wish you the worst, that the best happens to you. Okay. Bible. We are in Judges. What haven't you understood yet? Judges 3. Do you know that many no longer read the Old Testament? I find that so sad because the New Testament is only an illumination of the Old. And if you want to find God's principles, you will find God's wisdom in the Old Scriptures. Some even say, "God speaks to me through the Old Testament." The New Testament speaks only of how God deals with situations. Here we see that. And the book of Judges. So, that's about the children of Israel. What was evil before the Lord. We talk about that every time. And he says, "Yes, it's just bloodshed and slaughter." I see God's grace in the fact that they endured the torment with this rebellious form. That's incredible grace. And you see that again and again. And the people forgot the Lord God and served the Baals and the Asherahs. These are the idols of those days. Then the anger of the Lord was against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of Cushan, the king of Mesopotamia, from Beth-an. And so the children served. Then the children of Israel cried out to the Lord, and the Lord raised up a deliverer for them, to deliver them, Othniel, the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother. And the Spirit of the Lord came upon him, and he became the judge in Israel, and went out to fight. The Lord gave him the king of Mesopotamia into his hand, so that his hand was so strong over him that the land had peace and order for 40 years. So, that's the curse of the Arameans. And the Arameans from Adam in Italy. So, this King Cushan. That simply means "double" in the Old Testament. The name always indicated the person. So, you think, "My goodness, what does that have to do with my life now?" Okay. This curse is to be applied to the prophetic gift. To have the prophetic gift is to be struck by it above all else. So, as we see this curse, even if you receive finances, you lose them after you have received them. You cannot solve your own problems with the help of the legal system. And therefore, you use your own standards to achieve justice. We have said that we have seen the prophetic gift. The strength of this gift is to solve problems. People with vision understand connections. And so, because it is a gift to solve problems, he wants us to solve these problems through his wisdom, not our machinations. It's actually something we do. Yes. And that's what hinders us. And the thing is, God wants us to do it, but in such a way that we do it. That also costs the prophetic gift. This grace gift is to recognize God's intention. That's why it's also this one gift that is prophetic, to understand God's intentions. Only how will this thing, this redeeming gift, be violated, hurt, or broken? In this, when we, as prophetic people, believe we are justified because we can solve problems, that is our strength. And that can degenerate into wanting to solve every problem, even if it's not asked for. So, these people come into our sphere. With this gift comes this curse of receiving things and then losing them. It also happens where they, if the problems cannot be solved, can fall into despair to receive strength to solve things and find answers. If you use money that is supposed to be donated for a specific purpose for personal purposes, a curse also comes into play. You give someone money and say, "This is for this purpose." You use it for something else. So, a curse also comes into the family. For example, the prophet has the gift of establishing events and bringing them in order. They have the insight to solve problems, and they receive the highest cleansing from God for it and are gifted in all analytical thinking, capable of step-by-step cause and effect. So, the natural playing field for all prophets is to solve certain events and bring them into order. So, that's one of the things about the prophetic ministry is to bring order out of chaos. Wonderful. But that doesn't give the prophet the right to find his own legitimacy in these gifts. So, if you seek legitimacy in everything and everyone to repair, to repair, or to bring into order, you are acting out of the flesh, not God. Do you see how a gift is wonderful, what God gives, but how the enemy wants us to use exactly what is a divine gift? So, if we now look at Jesus, Jesus demonstrated all these gifts perfectly. He had all these gifts, not one, but a few, all seven motivational gifts working in his life. So, Jesus is a prophet, a problem solver. He healed, delivered, and resurrected the dead. And he did all that morning, noon, and night. He even needed to correct the theology of his disciples and the Pharisees. But if anyone challenged him at any time to prove his legitimacy through a miracle, he absolutely refused. Jesus cleansed the temple, and many things happened. He was challenged to prove his authority. Jesus answered with a riddle: "Destroy this temple, and I will rebuild it in three days." So, they naturally didn't understand that. And his purpose was to confuse them. We know today what that means: he is this temple, and after three days he will rise again. So, after feeding the 5,000, they waited the next morning for breakfast. The same. But instead, Jesus helps them. They demanded a sign, but he refused. And he preached to them in a way that offended most of them. I am always fascinated by how Jesus handled these things. He was the ultimate problem solver of this world. He showed it, lived it, and his life confirmed it. He didn't have to prove anything or prove himself. You know, many of us have this image of Jesus as a lamb with long hair. But I can tell you, Jesus had the name of being an offense. Do you know why? They always wanted something from him, and then he checked it and gave them offense, as it always revealed their true motivations. So, you see, he didn't say nice words. What he thought of them, he knew. Are they graves? Gravestones? Yes. This gift is what brings out in man that you speak clearly, that you speak directly, that you also have this sword of God. So, the world needs that. Okay. But if you use it to destroy others, it's naturally a misuse. Even if God called him to perform miracles, he never used them to justify himself or his legitimacy. Never. They ultimately wanted to see a miracle from him, but Jesus also guarded against that. Christ has perfectly shown us how to deal with our identity, which God has called us to, in this gift of prophecy. If you read the Gospels again and see how Jesus acted, you can see which part of the grace gifts comes through. Very interesting. Okay. So, from each of these stories, a person talks about the situation where the people served their idols, and God gave them into the hands of their enemies. Then they did evil again, and then God gave them blessings again. So, that's our God. For eight years, they were in servitude to this king, and they were terribly oppressed. After eight years, they woke up. "This is so bad." And again, God's grace came, and he gave them a judge at that time. What exactly did God prepare for the fundamental world? It's not always this wonderful story. These are all situations God knew, and he already prepared the solution in this form. So, how should we have the prophetic gift? Instead of proving that we can fix everything, first admit when we cannot solve problems or circumstances. That requires humility. To say, "I don't know," or to say, "I have no solution." It's hard for someone to recognize that. So, that's a tip: humility. We only need humility. Second, solve problems without seeking recognition. "Heaven looks down, he did it again." So, third, we don't have to prove to others that we can solve problems. Okay. So, recognize your identity as a son of God, not as a prophet, problem solver, visionary, or apostolic gift. People, it's like when God calls someone to be an apostle, they usually have this grace gift of moving things, getting things going. Do you understand? Do you know what this gift is? So, Jesus solved problems without making a big deal of them. Do you have these notes with you? Last time, you had to write this by hand. So, you can pass on this wisdom. Okay. What spirit is behind this curse? This King Cushan means "darkness" or "double." Evil. There are always two streams influencing a family or a city: physical and spiritual influence. So, everything we see in the physical realm is a manifestation of the spiritual. If we see that our government is in a state of corruption, we must know that things happened before that in the spiritual world, where they make things, sign them, and do things wrong, or rituals, or whatever. Then this has an effect. Like a family member selling their legitimate position for power. And to gain power, these powers are passed on to the next generation. From you, fate and curse. We have already worked through these things. Spiritual blessing influences the physical world, not the other way around. Therefore, it is very important that what we do in intercession is what you never see in reality. Strong intercession in a country has a huge influence in that country. So, things must happen spiritually to manifest in reality. The problem is also that we often pray about the problems and not God's intention. The problem is the effect, not things that are not prayed through. Okay. So, also in our private lives, our own lives, our company, our time in the garden, our gifts, things also speak as if they already are, and not praying about problems in our lives. It has a tremendous impact. So, prophetic intercession. So, if you have this prophetic gift, know that you can also pray prophetically and bring things into being. Yes. Find God's intention for the circumstances, for your business, for what is God's intention. And when you pray God's intention, then heavenly beings come to our support, and these things then manifest in your world. Okay. So, just in this October, he spoke to me and said, "So, a few questions. And I should do it again. This will happen next year. I won't do this seminar again unless God really gives me a commission for it." Good. Use of our government. Demonic forces that influence our entire government. So, who has the authority to break this curse? Very important. We read here: "God raised up a deliverer from the line of Caleb." Caleb had a different spirit. Numbers 14:24. So, what was this different spirit? Can you tell me? It says that Caleb, despite the abominable circumstances, wandered through the desert for 40 years with this rebellious people. And he was one of those who said at the beginning, "We can conquer the land." The other ten said, "No, the giants are too big." So, you have to imagine these two men having to suffer with this unbelief for 40 years, wandering around in this desert, and yet they didn't get a bad attitude. How would you be if you wandered around the desert for 40 years with other male forms and were still nice? So, they came. After 40 years, they came to take the land. Caleb said, "Lord, give me this mountain." He was 86 years old. "I am still as strong as I was 40 years ago." I love this spirit of Caleb. But these are the prophetic gifts. He sits and sees. We see that he is from this line of Caleb. That means he still had some of that fire in him. That was a good harvest in the family. So, he replaced trust in God in everything, even in solving problems and taking back the land for God. God gives supernatural strength to overcome evil. God has not saved us to be happy, dear brothers and sisters, but to be fulfilled. You can be happy for a day or a moment, then you are not happy, and then the next moment someone comes to you with something good, and then you are happy again. But we are not saved to be happy, but to be fulfilled. We experience fulfillment while we solve problems. That's the gift. If you can solve a problem, then you feel fulfilled. And that's why the danger is that you solve all problems. That's a high calling from God and a high cleansing to solve problems. Okay. So, what is the result of this curse being broken? Good news. First, the existing legal system will act favorably towards you. So, Lorenz, we still have to somewhere. I did something wrong when I saw it again. I say, "They are not so favorable to us." But still. I'm taking that in this morning. Because we have so many problems with our love letters. We don't taste them somehow. Okay. Second, this all-consuming spirit will no longer rob you. You will always be robbed of something after you have received it. That's the curse. Do you know that? You have received something, then something happens, and the opposite. Endless. It wants endless art. I tell you, an hour is favorable. So, fourth, from disturbances and interference. The legal system will be in its place, and you will receive legitimacy. I can tell you, our legal system in Austria is quite stupid. You need this grace of God. I have really realized that over the years in so many respects. Many of my friends say, "How you get away with some things is wonderful." Sometimes I think, "They come from Africa." I don't know better. Maybe that helps me a bit too. But it's always a hurdle. Everything where I have this hard house and with projects that I want to get through, to do something, you feel, man, it's not inspired with those things. There are laws that slow things down, that are bad. So, for that, you really need in such a country, which is so narrow, so restrictive, extraordinary God's grace. Is it right what I'm saying? I prefer our society. So, how do you get out of this? First, we must confess for our ancestors where they tried to solve their problems and thus used their own strength. And second, confess on behalf of yourself the sin of your own justification and of finding value in your own gift, and not in God your Creator. So, as I say, for those with the prophetic gift, it's a wonderful gift from God, and the world needs it. But be careful that the enemy doesn't use your identity to find your ability to perceive things, analyze things, set things in motion, and keep them in motion. When God says, "Stop." So, what do you find in this business area? Many Christian businessmen have a wonderful business idea and want to implement it immediately. And then they say, "Yes, now we'll do it. Lord, I will give ten percent of my income to missions. We will pray diligently every morning. We will be good to our employees." You do everything. But the problem is, that wasn't God's business for you. Then you can do everything right that you want. So, we have two trees in the garden. The tree of life, and what is the character of the tree of life? It lives, bears fruit, and multiplies. Then you have on the other side, the tree of the knowledge of good. So, a good idea can be. I've seen so many businessmen fail because they thought a good idea must be from God. We can do very, very good things with our own efforts, people. But that's the knowledge. That has nothing to do with understanding. God is Spirit. And everything that has life in it. You know what the thing is? God wants us to find our joy in the gifts he gives, not that the gifts fulfill or sustain us, but that the gifts are to give everything back to him. It's always everything back to him. And no matter what it is, sometimes they make money out of it, and sometimes they don't. I don't know. Fred, what do you make money out of your gift? You have to be short. Okay. So, you are one of them. But it could have been another child. But that's also God's favor on your life. So, God gives us wonderful gifts, but he doesn't want your gift to be an idea. You are still the daughter of God. When you come to heaven, it's like that. Daughter of God. The gifts God gives us are like a blessing here on earth for humanity. And that's true for artists. They must really draw strength from this crisis, return to God, and know that it's just like that. But there are others who become rich. There are also. Okay. So, does anyone else have anything to add about this gift or a question about it? It can be possessed. It can be stolen. This curse of travel, everything you have received is stolen, and it is finances, or children, or whatever it is. It is a robbery of things you have already received. You will see. We will come to the next point. Please. This curse really prevents things from coming to you. That means things will be cut off. But this comes through, and then it will be exactly like that. So, that's important. It also says, "Who has authority over this curse?" That means I believe I have the authority to break this curse because I have gone through this process, because I function exactly in this gift, and others and many fighters have already overcome it, and God has given back everything that was stolen, and even more.
