1 00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:10,440 We welcome you to the We Are Zion sermon podcast. 2 00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:13,520 We are a church based out of Chennai, India. 3 00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:16,880 We are thrilled that you tuned in today and hope that you will 4 00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:20,720 be refreshed, revived, and energized by what you hear. 5 00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:24,800 Our desire is that you will live life with a renewed sense of 6 00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:28,440 purpose that stems from a vibrant faith in Jesus. 7 00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:32,920 Jesus is the giver of life and when we invite him into our 8 00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:36,880 heart, he brings new life into every aspect of our life. 9 00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:41,640 This Lent, we pray that you will experience this new life in 10 00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:46,160 amazing ways and carry its power into the world so that all may 11 00:00:46,160 --> 00:00:49,840 know the way, the truth, and the life. 12 00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:54,840 Just preaching today on this topic for me personally has been 13 00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:57,680 so encouraging. I'm going to be talking today 14 00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:00,760 about the power, the new life inheriting the resurrection 15 00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:02,360 life. The element of the power, new 16 00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:06,640 life we're talking about is the power of God and just being in a 17 00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,760 nation in a state where the river is the source of their 18 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:13,000 power and realizing that's actually useless. 19 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,280 Imagine we are in the we took the children on the gun, the 20 00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:19,320 Ganges boat ride. So all, like about 15 of us went 21 00:01:19,320 --> 00:01:23,960 on the Ganges to lighten the mood because there were bodies 22 00:01:23,960 --> 00:01:27,440 being burnt on the guts. We saw a dead body floating by 23 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:29,640 with this belly swollen. It was a man. 24 00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:33,840 The smells all around, devotees dipping themselves in that 25 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,000 eternal flame. There's one gut where there's a 26 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:39,400 flame just constantly burning. And there these particular 27 00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:43,720 sadhus who are dressed a certain way, who eat flesh, they put 28 00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:45,840 ashes on themselves. These are the things that you're 29 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,800 looking at to lighten the mood. We gave our children Geshom got 30 00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:51,840 a lot of chips and biscuits for all of them, just to kind of 31 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:55,400 lighten it. But it doesn't escape you that 32 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:59,120 for many, they think that river is the source of their power. 33 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,480 We saw a woman, we were finishing the boat ride, getting 34 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:04,840 off the boat. The the banks of the river are 35 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,680 filthy. She's standing knee deep in it, 36 00:02:08,199 --> 00:02:10,680 drinking the water, pouring it on her head. 37 00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,840 And it breaks your heart. And so I was asking, Calvin, 38 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,360 what did you learn out of this whole trip in the airport? 39 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,480 And he said, people here are doing so much to please their 40 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,800 God, to make him happy. I'm so glad we have Jesus. 41 00:02:26,640 --> 00:02:29,680 We are the most blessed. That's all I can say. 42 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:34,320 And when we inherit this new life, we inherit power. 43 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:38,040 Too many of us are living powerless lives. 44 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:42,400 We're living lives as if we are, you know, completely on a life, 45 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:46,160 on our ventilator, needing life support constantly. 46 00:02:46,920 --> 00:02:49,520 God is calling us into a place of living powerfully. 47 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,480 Philippians chapter 3 verses 8 to 11. 48 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,320 Indeed, I count. Everything is lost because of 49 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,320 the surpassing worth of knowing Jesus Christ my Lord. 50 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,800 For His sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count 51 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:05,360 them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ and be found in 52 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,920 Him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the 53 00:03:08,920 --> 00:03:11,760 law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the 54 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,280 righteousness from God that depends on faith. 55 00:03:14,640 --> 00:03:18,120 That I may know Him and the power of His resurrection and 56 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,840 may share His sufferings, becoming like Him in His death, 57 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:25,520 That by any means possible I may attain the resurrection from the 58 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:26,840 dead. It's very interesting. 59 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:31,320 It says that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection 60 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:35,240 and may share His sufferings. We want the power, but we don't 61 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:38,160 want the sufferings. But the sufferings are the route 62 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,920 through which he takes us when power is being generated. 63 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:45,640 So for the Christian, there is no way of getting the power 64 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,640 without the hardship. So if you're walking through a 65 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:50,520 hard season, you're in great company. 66 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,560 If you're in a good season, we thank God with you. 67 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,000 But some of these things don't last forever. 68 00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,960 The Christian journey is is is almost like a road with 69 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,160 wilderness. And then there's the seasons of 70 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,040 promise, and then there's wilderness again. 71 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:10,160 And in the through it all, the thing that is constantly 72 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:12,600 growing, God willing, is the power of God in you. 73 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:15,920 What does this power entail exactly? 74 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:17,399 You might ask me, what does it look like? 75 00:04:17,399 --> 00:04:19,040 I get it, I get that there's power. 76 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,440 What does it look like? Ephesians 118 to 21. 77 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:24,720 I want you all to highlight these 3 verses. 78 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,520 And if possible, if you can, I think on our screensavers now 79 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:32,080 you can put a verse if you can put it as your daily declaration 80 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:33,640 and read it. I've done it every day this 81 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,040 week. I believe something is changing. 82 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:39,880 Ephesians 118 to 21. It says, I pray that the eyes of 83 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:43,280 your heart may be enlightened, in order that you may know the 84 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:46,200 hope to which He has called you, the riches of His glorious 85 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:50,640 inheritance in His holy people, and His incomparably great power 86 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:55,120 for us who believe that power is the same as the mighty strength 87 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:59,480 He exerted when He raised Christ from the dead and seated him at 88 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,120 His right hand. In the heavenly realms, far 89 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:05,480 above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every 90 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:09,920 name that is invoked not only in the present age but also in the 91 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:13,720 one to come. Now the word for power is many. 92 00:05:13,840 --> 00:05:17,080 The primary word in the New Testament is dunamis, which is 93 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:20,600 like this creative supernatural power that births miracles and 94 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,760 signs and wonders. But in this passage all the 95 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,600 versions of that word are found, which is very interesting. 96 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:30,040 But I want you to 1st get rid of any mental image you have of 97 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:31,680 power. Those of you who watch Marvel 98 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,840 movies, if you've seen The Scarlet, which you know how she 99 00:05:34,840 --> 00:05:36,560 just has to her whole acting is this. 100 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:40,280 The guys who work behind the scenes do all the effects, but 101 00:05:40,280 --> 00:05:42,600 half the time she's only holding her hands like this. 102 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:46,360 And then you see the Hulk, who has brute strength, You see Thor 103 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:48,920 with his hammer. They all have something which 104 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,880 attributes might and strength and power and all of that. 105 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,960 But you need to get rid of those ideas for a time, because this 106 00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:59,080 power that God has given us through the resurrection power 107 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:03,600 of Jesus is very, very dynamic. It is multifaceted. 108 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:08,080 One of the meanings Dunamis comes with in the association of 109 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:12,440 creation of life in the womb. Hebrews, 1111. 110 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:16,920 If you can highlight that by faith, Tara herself received 111 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:22,200 Dunamis power to conceive even when she was past the age, since 112 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,800 she considered him faithful who had promised. 113 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,920 When Geshram talked about hope last week, he talked about a 114 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:31,280 regeneration. He talked many times on the 115 00:06:31,280 --> 00:06:34,360 online at least about regeneration of arteries and 116 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:36,920 this and that. This week when I was preparing 117 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:38,960 for it, the Lord was really asking me. 118 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:42,080 He said doctors are saying fallopian tubes are stuck. 119 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,080 I regenerate that my power does it. 120 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:48,640 God is the doctors are telling you your ovaries have such and 121 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,240 such issue. I will regenerate because that 122 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:54,040 is the power. The one who created breathes 123 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:58,120 life into wombs. Sara received Dunamis power. 124 00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:03,840 It is a creative energy. Mark 16 verses 17 to 18 says 125 00:07:03,840 --> 00:07:06,320 these miracle signs will accompany those who believe. 126 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:08,840 They will drive out demons in the power of my name. 127 00:07:08,840 --> 00:07:11,320 They will speak in tongues. They will be supernaturally 128 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:14,800 protected from snakes and from drinking anything poisonous. 129 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,760 They will lay hands on the sick and heal them. 130 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:21,600 Same word. Dunamis, science, wonders, 131 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:24,440 miracles, speaking in tongues, healing the sick. 132 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:27,840 Desire for these things. Do not mock those who speak in 133 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:29,120 tongues. Desire for it. 134 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:32,760 It edifies your soul. When you don't have words to 135 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:36,040 speak in the physical realm, it connects you instantly to 136 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,320 another realm. You are speaking secrets to your 137 00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:41,160 Father. Please, I encourage you to seek 138 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,920 earnestly for the gift of tongues and its interpretation. 139 00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:48,520 Dunamis, there's another power that is mentioned in this, which 140 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:52,840 is exusia. Exusia is the power that comes 141 00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:57,040 from delegated authority. God gave Jesus authority. 142 00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:00,080 Jesus gave us authority. You and I are people with 143 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,880 authority. We've shared this before. 144 00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,200 You see the cops outside, they have authority. 145 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:08,600 And then you have some volunteers who wear a luminous 146 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:12,120 shirt and stand. They don't actually have 147 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:14,960 terribly great authority, but they've got delegated authority 148 00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:19,000 to direct traffic. You and I are not even at that 149 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,040 level. We are at traffic police level. 150 00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:24,720 God has given you authority to stand against the powers of 151 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:26,880 darkness to take up what was stolen. 152 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:30,640 You and I have that authority. Luke 10, verse 19. 153 00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:34,919 I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions 154 00:08:34,919 --> 00:08:37,520 and to overcome all the power of the enemy. 155 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:41,720 Nothing will harm you. This is this delegated 156 00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:44,200 authority. You and I, we have that 157 00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:46,880 authority our children carry. That authority doesn't have to 158 00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:49,040 go through us. Our children carry that direct 159 00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:53,880 delegated authority. The next that is mentioned is 160 00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:57,320 Iskus. Iskus is physical strength and 161 00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:01,320 might we talk about Samson having strength and power? 162 00:09:01,680 --> 00:09:06,920 That is this and interestingly it's mentioned by Jesus in Luke 163 00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:08,320 1027. He says ants. 164 00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:11,520 He said love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all 165 00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:14,360 your soul, with all your strength and with all your mind. 166 00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:16,320 Love is your and love your neighbor as yourself. 167 00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:20,360 God is asking people, will you love me with all your might? 168 00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:24,600 A lot of people hesitate to worship with their bodies. 169 00:09:25,560 --> 00:09:28,160 Loving Him with your strength. You know every time I worship, I 170 00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:29,840 make it a point to lift both my hands. 171 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:32,520 You know why my daughter was asking me recently? 172 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:34,080 Why do you always lift both hands, mummy? 173 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:37,000 Because when I came out of my surgery, the doctor first 174 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,760 checked whether I had a stroke by asking me to lift my hands. 175 00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:43,920 If my hands were unequal, I had suffered A yoke, a stroke. 176 00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:48,560 So every time I lift my hands, I'm telling God with all my 177 00:09:48,560 --> 00:09:51,840 might I will worship you because I almost lost this and I will 178 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:55,040 never take it for granted. How many of you when during 179 00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:57,800 worship, decide this is a better posture? 180 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:02,800 You may not be feeling it, but the enemy to our power is our 181 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:04,800 feelings. Amen. 182 00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:09,840 I don't feel like it today. The enemy to your walking in 183 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:13,200 power is your feelings. Your feelings are not a bad 184 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:14,960 thing. They are important, but they're 185 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:18,160 not all important. Too many of you are not living 186 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,720 in the power of God. Because today I feel too tired. 187 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:24,360 Today I'm having fatigue. Today I have this problem, today 188 00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:27,320 I don't have money. Your feelings are real, but they 189 00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:29,600 cannot be the driving force of your faith. 190 00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:34,080 It has to move past your feelings into a place or saying 191 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,280 the living power of God is in me. 192 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,600 Yes, I don't feel like worshipping, but I will worship. 193 00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,120 Yes, I don't feel like giving, but I will give. 194 00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:46,520 That is what God is calling. Will you love Him with all your 195 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:49,560 might? And finally, the other word that 196 00:10:49,560 --> 00:10:52,720 is mentioned for power is Kratos, which is my favorite 197 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,480 because in this season God has been impressing on us. 198 00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,560 The territory has arrived. Will you take Dominion? 199 00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,120 Last year we were positioned, this year we're taking it. 200 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:07,000 It is your job to take back what the enemy stole. 201 00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:10,600 Dominion is yours. Hebrews 214 says since the 202 00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:14,360 children have flesh and blood, he too Jesus shared in their 203 00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:18,240 humanity, so that by his death he might break the power of him 204 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:21,600 who holds the power of death. That is the devil. 205 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:26,600 Picture a map and we always think, oh you know what? 206 00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:28,800 Varanasi is overrun by the enemy. 207 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:33,520 But when I was in Ruth and Jeremy's house, when I went to 208 00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:37,960 that Mission Hospital, you know, you can feel that light has 209 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:41,160 broken through because they're taking territory. 210 00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:46,520 Can I ask you, in your locations in Adyar, in Tambaram, in ECR, 211 00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:48,880 are you pushing back the darkness and bringing in the 212 00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,800 light? Are you someone who's saying I 213 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,480 refuse to accept this mandate on this pin code? 214 00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:57,840 I refuse to believe that this pin code is going to be shrouded 215 00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:00,160 in darkness. I have come in, so the power of 216 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,640 God has come in with me. We are changing things. 217 00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:06,280 That's up to us. Kratos is yours. 218 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:11,120 What you do with it matters. Why do we need this power? 219 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:15,720 One Corinthians chapter 4 verse 20 for the Kingdom of God is not 220 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:20,360 a matter of talk, but of power. I can't keep talking about what 221 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:22,800 I think about it. I can't keep coming up with 222 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:26,640 strategies if I don't get down to doing things in the power of 223 00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:30,800 God. Jesus is the supreme example of 224 00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:32,920 walking with this power constantly. 225 00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:36,360 And so when I was asking God, Lord, show me what it is we take 226 00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:39,840 back with us. Yes, we all of us unanimously 227 00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:42,600 know we have power, but many of us are not walking in it for 228 00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:46,360 reasons known only to us. But what do I, why do I really 229 00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:48,320 need this power? Because if I know the why, 230 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:52,320 hopefully I will start walking in the fullness of it, right? 231 00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,280 But before I get into the three points and I want to leave with 232 00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:57,240 you as the reasons why we need this power. 233 00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:01,400 I want us to look at Jeremiah 12 verse 5 because I believe we are 234 00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:05,160 in a shift as a church, not just us, but the entire church. 235 00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:08,600 God is moving us. Jeremiah chapter 12, verse 5, if 236 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,680 you can all read it, because if this is your mandate, if you 237 00:13:11,680 --> 00:13:15,680 have raced with men on foot and they have worn you out, how can 238 00:13:15,680 --> 00:13:19,840 you compete with horses if you stumble in safe country? 239 00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:24,560 Next verse, where's that? Can somebody put verse 6 up? 240 00:13:24,560 --> 00:13:27,680 Also, if you stumble in safe country, how will you run in the 241 00:13:27,680 --> 00:13:29,640 tickets by the Jordan? That's what it says. 242 00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:33,800 OK, that's the verse. What is he talking about? 243 00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:37,680 Jeremiah has gone to God in saying you're so quiet. 244 00:13:37,680 --> 00:13:41,920 I don't know if you're just, I've done this, I question God's 245 00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:43,800 justice. I question God's timing. 246 00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:45,920 Lord, when people are waiting for so long, why are you not 247 00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:48,200 coming through? Lord, are you not just those 248 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,600 people are having this miracle? Why are these people not having 249 00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:53,400 it? And he just silences Jeremiah 250 00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:57,000 with this answer. He says you're running with men 251 00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,600 and you're tired. I'm calling you into a season of 252 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,200 running with horses. What does that mean? 253 00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:05,520 In the Bible, horses represent battle kind of strength. 254 00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:11,400 Horses usually drew Chariots. So he's saying it's typically 255 00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:13,640 possession, language, inheritance, possessing 256 00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:16,040 language. When the Israelites moved from 257 00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:18,760 wilderness to promised land, they were no longer just 258 00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:21,160 treading through the wilderness on on foot. 259 00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:23,680 No, they were going to take up Canaanite land. 260 00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:25,680 The Canaanites had iron Chariots. 261 00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:28,480 The the Hittites lived in different places. 262 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:31,920 They were huge, the Amorites, the Jebusites. 263 00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:35,400 God is saying I'm shifting you to a season of increase, but the 264 00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:39,200 increase won't come easy. It comes with battles, it comes 265 00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:41,360 with giants, it comes with iron Chariots. 266 00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:44,360 He's saying, will you now run with horses? 267 00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:48,880 And so I'm going to bring you 3 imageries today of horses. 268 00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:52,760 You know, when you look at an engine or something with power, 269 00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:54,920 they have a unit there. What is the unit called? 270 00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:58,520 Horsepower, and when you understand why they named it 271 00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:01,720 that, because if horses were to pull some weight, the kind of 272 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:03,480 power that is generated is so great. 273 00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:05,480 Therefore they used it as a standard unit. 274 00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:09,920 And so that there are three reasons you and I need this 275 00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:12,440 power. When I say power, let's not 276 00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:14,960 split heads. Whether you need exusia dunamis, 277 00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:17,160 it doesn't matter. You need the power of God in its 278 00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:19,920 wholeness. But the first reason you need it 279 00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:24,880 is you need power to endure. You need power to endure 280 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:29,760 anything. You stretch a rubber band, you 281 00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:32,760 can see it's about to RIP, but it doesn't. 282 00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:36,720 At that maximum strength. It's been designed to stretch. 283 00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:40,440 Endurance is built in. You like that. 284 00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:43,240 You first. In the first few years of work, 285 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:46,400 you have certain setbacks. The next few years you're doing 286 00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:48,040 great. But with it comes a pressure 287 00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:51,400 that's completely new. You have one child, You have one 288 00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:54,840 pressure, two children. It's a little increased 3 Max. 289 00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:57,720 You have one set of in laws to look after. 290 00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:00,360 Suddenly God moves us with the two sets of in laws to look 291 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:03,840 after. Resilience is built in the 292 00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:08,600 stretching and God is saying you need power to endure. 293 00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:12,560 Colossians chapter one verse 11. I'm reading from the amplified. 294 00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:16,160 It says we pray that you may be strengthened and invigorated 295 00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:20,320 with all power according to his glorious might to attain every 296 00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:22,360 kind of endurance and patience with joy. 297 00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:26,400 I didn't know there were kinds of endurance, all kinds of 298 00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:29,440 endurance. So if you want a Khushi life in 299 00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:34,080 Christ, you may not have it. In the times we're living in, 300 00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:36,960 how dare we ask for a Khushi life when half the world is 301 00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:40,120 aching? We need to be asking God. 302 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:43,400 God, give me endurance. Teach me how to be strong. 303 00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:46,560 Teach me how. Lord, no matter what storm hits 304 00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:52,000 to, there's a word in the equestrian circles, horse riding 305 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:57,160 circles, which is very, very important to understand our 306 00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:00,520 posture as Christians. And the word is ectenos. 307 00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:04,480 Ectenos is basically when a horse rider is the jockey is 308 00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:07,520 riding the horse. The horse knows it's trained to 309 00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:10,880 reach the finish line. And so the horse, as the jockey 310 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:14,200 is riding it, the horse stretches its neck forward and 311 00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:16,480 the muscles will get very accentuated. 312 00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:21,359 And that's stretching is what actually gets it to win ahead of 313 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:23,640 others. Can we have the first picture of 314 00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:27,280 that horse that is stretched out, Ethanos? 315 00:17:27,839 --> 00:17:31,640 It denotes endurance. Look at the muscles on the neck. 316 00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:35,240 You and I, as Christians were built for running. 317 00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:37,920 We were built to run the race, am I right? 318 00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:41,560 We're built to run a race that Paul says you're running, you're 319 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:44,680 running it for the long haul. But if you don't have endurance, 320 00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:47,440 if I don't have endurance, we will not make it. 321 00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:52,200 It breaks my heart when people check out of marriages 322 00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:54,720 prematurely, when you don't fight for it. 323 00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:58,200 It breaks my heart when people check out of having children 324 00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:00,320 prematurely. You know how many women I prayed 325 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:03,240 for in Hyderabad who came and said, my husband and I have 326 00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:06,840 decided not to have children? And I said, you know what, I'm 327 00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:08,720 not going to lecture you, but you need to start reading your 328 00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:12,040 word, read the Bible. Ask God if that's a command for 329 00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:16,720 you as a believer. Don't check out prematurely. 330 00:18:17,120 --> 00:18:19,360 He is building endurance in his church. 331 00:18:19,360 --> 00:18:21,920 He's building you will go through stuff you never thought 332 00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:23,560 you will go through, but through it. 333 00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:26,040 The endurance you build will be so powerful. 334 00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:29,520 It will generate a power that others around you will be 335 00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:31,600 vibrating with. That power that's coming off 336 00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:33,720 you. I keep telling you guys is make 337 00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:37,000 yourself open to sitting at tables with overcomers. 338 00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:40,360 Stop sitting with those who will sit with you in your grief and 339 00:18:40,360 --> 00:18:43,360 cry and cry and whine. Move to the tables of 340 00:18:43,360 --> 00:18:45,520 overcomers. Move to the tables of those who 341 00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:48,320 have built endurance over 20 years, 30 years. 342 00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:52,200 Sit with those people so that you learn of them how to endure. 343 00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:55,800 Every morning this week I sat with Jeremy's mum. 344 00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,560 Aunty has had two strokes. If you look at her, you will not 345 00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:03,480 believe it. Endurance is built into her. 346 00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:07,280 She's hard wired for it. She comes down, she goes for a 347 00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:08,240 walk. One hour. 348 00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:10,480 She's not supposed to eat Pani Puri. 349 00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:14,440 She eats pani Puri comes and she is evangelized to everyone on 350 00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:18,000 her prayer route. She told me, Tina, I think I 351 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,760 scare people into coming into the Kingdom of God, but I don't 352 00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:25,480 know how much time I have left. Two strokes, tons of blood 353 00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:30,880 thinners, endurance. What are we complaining about 354 00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:32,560 today? What are you checking out of? 355 00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:36,440 Don't quit that job in a hurry. God has put you there to train 356 00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:39,640 you. Stop complaining about the 357 00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:42,160 things you're walking through. God has trained you. 358 00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:43,760 He's equipped you more than you know. 359 00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:51,600 Ethanos means a strained stretching, saying Lord, I will 360 00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:56,800 hold on till the finish line. It's the picture of Jesus in the 361 00:19:56,800 --> 00:20:00,840 Garden of Gethsemane, crying tears that were like drops of 362 00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:02,880 blood when the Angel was strengthening him. 363 00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:06,680 That is the picture of Ethanos. When you are at your weakest, 364 00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:10,280 you stretch your hands. When you are at your wit's end, 365 00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:13,520 you don't give up. You say, Lord, I'm here, I don't 366 00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:15,040 know what to do, I'll raise my hands. 367 00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:19,520 It is that persistent prayer. It is that fasting that you do. 368 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:22,160 It is the lament that you bring before the throne. 369 00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:27,280 Don't stop. Power to endure. 370 00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:28,880 That's the first reason you need this power. 371 00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:31,880 The second power is the power to overcome. 372 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:37,320 Because my question when I was sitting with this was, you see 373 00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:39,280 people suffering in hospitals and you're not. 374 00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:42,520 How can at that point be telling them, oh God, he'll give you 375 00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:45,880 power to endure. The truth is, God, this does 376 00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:47,400 give you the power. Those of you who have walked 377 00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:51,280 through seasons of loss and sickness, after you come out of 378 00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:52,840 it, you wonder, how did I do that? 379 00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:57,120 That is the power of God in you. That is what it enables you to 380 00:20:57,120 --> 00:20:59,160 do. How did I walk through that 381 00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:00,080 season? My God? 382 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:01,640 When I think about it now, it feels heavy. 383 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:06,560 That's the power of God. But this power to endure or 384 00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:10,120 overcome and the next one which I share is a lifelong thing 385 00:21:10,120 --> 00:21:13,160 because you know what? God is in it for the long haul. 386 00:21:13,360 --> 00:21:16,840 He plays the long game. The enemy does not play for the 387 00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:20,120 long haul always. He wants quick returns, quick 388 00:21:20,120 --> 00:21:22,920 dunk in in the demonic God's not like that. 389 00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:28,200 He's in it for the long haul. One Corinthians chapter 15 390 00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:32,640 verses 56 to 57. I'm reading it from the passion 391 00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:35,000 because it's so beautiful in that it says it is sin that 392 00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:38,640 gives death its sting and the law that gives sin its power. 393 00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:42,760 But we thank God for giving us the victory as conquerors 394 00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:45,640 through our Lord Jesus the anointed one. 395 00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:49,400 We are more than conquerors in Christ Jesus and I. 396 00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:52,120 We will see not just a conqueror, you're more than 397 00:21:52,120 --> 00:21:56,280 that. So overcoming is a go to 398 00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:58,880 position. When we are hit with a ton of 399 00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:02,400 breaks, my response will usually be one of fear and anxiety. 400 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:06,400 That's OK, we are human, but we should be quick to pivot to the 401 00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:10,200 position of an overcomer. Don't stay in the position of 402 00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:12,560 weakness. Move to the position in Christ 403 00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:16,240 which is that of an overcomer. Why do I give up that position? 404 00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:19,200 Maybe there's sin. Maybe the opposition is 405 00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:23,880 tremendous, but it doesn't mean you stay underwhelmed, 406 00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:26,320 overwhelmed. It doesn't mean you feel 407 00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:29,200 completely cowed down. You move to your position in 408 00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:35,440 Christ, which is more than an overcome. 1 John chapter 5 verse 409 00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:37,720 5 says who is it that overcomes the world? 410 00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:43,400 Only the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God. 411 00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:48,920 You and I overcome when our trust is completely on Jesus, 412 00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:53,680 completely. We look at Jesus. 413 00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:55,560 He overcame death. Why? 414 00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:58,600 Completely trusted his Father's heart. 415 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,360 He knew the plan. He knew what was going to 416 00:23:02,360 --> 00:23:04,760 happen. Did he struggle with it? 417 00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:08,960 Yes, he said, Lord, if possible, take this cup away from me, but 418 00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:12,560 not my will yours be done in that moment. 419 00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:16,320 He pivoted from the grief and the sorrow and the fear to a 420 00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:18,120 place of God. But I'm surrendered. 421 00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:22,480 I'll do what you say, and God is calling us into a season of 422 00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:25,160 overcoming where we will. We will feel afraid. 423 00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:27,360 When you have to run with horses, it is scary. 424 00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:31,720 When territory has to be taken, it is so fear inducing. 425 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:37,040 But the call is to pivot to your position as an overcomer. 426 00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:40,120 Can you put the second picture of the horse? 427 00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:44,760 You know war horses. The word for War Horse is Prowse 428 00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:48,680 praus. It is the same word that Jesus 429 00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:52,720 uses in the Beatitudes when he says blessed are the meek. 430 00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:57,120 Can you believe a War Horse is trained for battle? 431 00:23:57,120 --> 00:23:59,800 So basically horses. If you read the book of Job, he 432 00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:03,800 talks about how this horse is impatiently pawing at the ground 433 00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:06,400 because it can smell battle in its nostrils. 434 00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:09,320 These are animals that were bred and born for war. 435 00:24:10,120 --> 00:24:14,240 If this horse is not broken into, it will create havoc on 436 00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:16,400 the battlefield. It will turn against the master. 437 00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:19,720 It can trample him. So if you watch any of these 438 00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:23,720 Wild West shows on TV, they first take a horse into a 439 00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:28,520 paddle, into a field which has got a boundary, and they let it 440 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:31,720 run. It will run hours on and they 441 00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:35,080 don't have energy issues. They feed it a bit and it'll run 442 00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:38,720 in circles, and then the cowboy gets into the rink with it. 443 00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:41,400 He starts training it with a lasso. 444 00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:46,560 It doesn't like the lasso. It struggles to be held down. 445 00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:49,480 It struggles to submit. It was born to be free. 446 00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:55,080 These stallions were meant to run free in canyons, but in the 447 00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:57,160 hands of the trainer, they have to submit. 448 00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:01,160 Over months they will train it. It will kick the owner off. 449 00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:03,120 When he puts the saddle, he'll push it off. 450 00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:06,360 It's angry with the one training. 451 00:25:06,360 --> 00:25:09,520 But eventually you should watch how they break the horse. 452 00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:13,000 Do they break the strength? No, they break the will. 453 00:25:14,120 --> 00:25:19,760 The strength is harnessed. Jesus, at a word at the cross 454 00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:22,960 could have summoned legions of angels to change the scenario. 455 00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:24,800 One word. He could have just said, I can't 456 00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:25,440 do this. Sorry. 457 00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:27,600 If it was us today, we would have said that. 458 00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:28,800 Lord, I changed my mind. Sorry. 459 00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:29,800 Sorry. I can't do this. 460 00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:31,840 They're pulling my clothes. They're spitting on me. 461 00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:36,040 Sorry. God, I back off, meekness said. 462 00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:40,240 I will submit this is hard, but I will submit. 463 00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:44,480 God, I don't deserve this this season, I don't deserve this 464 00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:47,160 hardship, but I will submit to your correction. 465 00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:52,080 He will break our will. That hard hearted stubborn will 466 00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:55,680 the Lord will break. He likes teachable people, not 467 00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:58,440 because he's a narcissist, but because He's sovereign. 468 00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:02,080 He will correct us in that place. 469 00:26:02,120 --> 00:26:03,600 He will let us run around in circles. 470 00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:05,200 How many of you have been gone through that? 471 00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:07,760 I cannot wait. God, I cannot wait. 472 00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:10,320 He'll say run for some time. You burn that energy off. 473 00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:16,640 Eventually He will bring us into a place of meekness. 474 00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:18,880 That's the work of the Lord in US. 475 00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:22,520 Prowse is strength under control. 476 00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:27,120 War horses can be controlled with just a bit, because the 477 00:26:27,120 --> 00:26:30,200 minute the owner climbs on it knows I need to do what he tells 478 00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:33,520 me to do. And the War Horse is not scared 479 00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:37,400 by shield and spear and battle and guns raging. 480 00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:42,240 It's built for that. The endurance you got will build 481 00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:44,000 you for battle. Battle won't scare you. 482 00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:46,960 When I say battle, I don't mean warring in the flesh with 483 00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:49,440 people. I mean warring in the heavenlies 484 00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:51,880 against the things that are trying to take over your life. 485 00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:56,040 Don't fight your spouse after this because Tina said we should 486 00:26:56,040 --> 00:27:00,040 go fight with them. No, we are battle is against not 487 00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:02,800 against flesh and blood, but against principalities, powers. 488 00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:05,840 And if you are currently under attack, you need to ask God give 489 00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:09,080 me discernment. Like Abby said, we pray, we 490 00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:12,240 lament, then we discern. What am I fighting right now? 491 00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:14,760 Is it a spirit of lust? Is it a spirit of greed? 492 00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:19,080 Is it a spirit of usurping God? I come against that spirit in 493 00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:22,080 the name of Jesus. Don't fight flesh. 494 00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:25,160 They are not your enemy. There's an enemy behind them. 495 00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:33,360 War horses were built for battle and they exhibit meekness. 496 00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:37,080 You and I as sons and daughters, we are equipped with the armor 497 00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:39,160 of God for battle. And let me tell you, the battles 498 00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:45,440 never stop as when I watch my parents leading old age from at 499 00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:48,920 this age, I see the battles they have to fight and I'm like, I 500 00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:52,880 feel tired thinking of that age 70 plus God, what are you 501 00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:54,960 training them for? They're closer to eternity than 502 00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:56,880 all of us. Why do they need training? 503 00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:01,000 Then you see people in their 80s battling health issues. 504 00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:05,960 You go again, God, why? He loves us too much to let us 505 00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:10,000 be lethargic about our faith. You can never take your armor 506 00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:11,400 off. I just want to tell you that. 507 00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:15,120 Teach your children every morning to put on the armor of 508 00:28:15,120 --> 00:28:17,160 God and to cover themselves with the blood of the lamb. 509 00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:19,760 Teach them they're going into war zones. 510 00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:24,000 Schools are war zones. Teach them to walk in. 511 00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:27,480 Teach your children so that when they grow up, they walk in the 512 00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:30,200 power of God. Your battle armor can never be 513 00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:31,800 removed. It has to be dented. 514 00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,320 You come back to the Lord, He replenishes. 515 00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:41,080 This is a battle that has been waged for millennia. 516 00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:44,920 You're not alone. I think it was Peter who writes 517 00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:47,240 that you're not alone. All around the world, brothers 518 00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:50,600 and sisters are going through this thing and so you're not 519 00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:53,520 alone, but you need to be battle ready all the time. 520 00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:57,440 And the beautiful thing is this. The world talks about 521 00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:00,280 positivity. Oh, you can overcome. 522 00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:02,800 It's so interesting. Dolly talked about this in our 523 00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:05,680 first service. Good vibes only. 524 00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:09,760 You know how many people in the Hyderabad, the people met me and 525 00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:11,320 said I just love the vibe on you. 526 00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:13,040 How do you tell them that's the Holy Spirit? 527 00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:14,880 That is not me. My vibe, if you get to know me, 528 00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:20,800 is not great. Living like an overcomer is not 529 00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:23,520 about positive thinking. It's about promise based 530 00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:27,800 thinking. What does that look like when 531 00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:30,640 your marriage is hit? You don't believe the lie of the 532 00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:33,840 enemy who says in your ear it's over, it's not going to happen. 533 00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:37,520 You say no A3 chord strand is not quickly broken. 534 00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:41,760 You are declaring you shut the enemy down with the promise. 535 00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:44,800 When your children are hit, you will say it out loud. 536 00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:47,720 You will contend with him who contends with me, and he will 537 00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:50,160 save my children. Great shall be their peace. 538 00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:53,960 When your finances are hit, you will believe that Jehovah Jaira 539 00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:55,640 is my provider. I will not want. 540 00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:59,640 When you have been attacked and left alone and isolated, you 541 00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:01,400 will believe God. You have said you will never 542 00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:05,600 leave me nor forsake me. I believe that when yourself 543 00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:08,400 worth is hit, you remember you're the beloved of God. 544 00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:12,800 I am so loved. The overcomer knows their 545 00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:16,840 posture, knows their position. Yes, I feel like I'm getting 546 00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:20,440 thulped in the field of life, but in the spiritual realms, I'm 547 00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:22,280 an overcomer. So how do I think like it? 548 00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:25,760 How do I behave like it? I change it from positive 549 00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:28,480 thinking to promise based thinking. 550 00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:32,200 And finally, the last kind of reason that we need this power 551 00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:37,920 is the power to reign in life. Power to reign in life. 552 00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:42,480 Romans 5 verse 17 it says, For if by the trespass of the one 553 00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:47,120 man death reigned through that one man, how much more will 554 00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:50,640 those who receive God's abundant provision of grace and the gift 555 00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:54,120 of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus 556 00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:58,320 Christ? God's abundant provision of 557 00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:02,040 grace and the gift of righteousness reign in life. 558 00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:05,280 This word reign is like taking dominion. 559 00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:10,160 Too many of us have given room for the enemy to come and rain. 560 00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:12,800 In certain spaces, our flesh has rained. 561 00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:17,160 In certain places, the enemy has taken pockets and so our raining 562 00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:20,200 capacity has decreased. Oh, you know what? 563 00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:22,080 I'm not able to control the thoughts of my mind. 564 00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:25,480 I'm able to control my work, but my mind is overrun. 565 00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:28,080 I'm, you know, I go downhill in my mind. 566 00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:31,000 That is the problem. You need to start raining in 567 00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:34,400 your mind. Maybe your body has been hit so 568 00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:37,880 much you've given in to lethargy and lying on that bed and you're 569 00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:41,000 refusing to get up and say, hey, this body is the body of the 570 00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:42,680 it's the temple of the Holy Spirit. 571 00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:45,200 Nothing will overrun it in Jesus name. 572 00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:49,560 I'm getting up and working. What is it that you are allowing 573 00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:51,800 to drive your life to the point of defeat? 574 00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:55,840 God is asking us to reign in life. 575 00:31:57,200 --> 00:31:59,760 What does it actually physically mean to reign in life? 576 00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:02,320 I want that picture, that last picture up of the horse. 577 00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:04,880 This is the image that never left my head. 578 00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:09,120 The enemy. As long as you leave him near 579 00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:12,360 your face and head, you'll keep hearing his sly whispers. 580 00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:13,720 He's the accuser of the brethren. 581 00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:16,120 He will tell you lies about yourself. 582 00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:17,560 He will tell you lies about your spouse. 583 00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:18,920 He will tell you lies about life. 584 00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:20,920 He will tell you lies about lies about God. 585 00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:25,160 He belongs under your feet. He has no business wrapping 586 00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:30,400 himself around you or your head. When you reign in life, you put 587 00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:33,680 him where he belongs. He belongs under your feet. 588 00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:38,080 Those who are overcomers, those who have understood what it 589 00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:41,520 means to build endurance, know where the enemy belongs. 590 00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:45,360 Don't give the enemy a seat at your table. 591 00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:49,320 He should not have the benefit. When I say enemy, not again 592 00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:52,760 human, it is the the Prince of darkness. 593 00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:57,360 Many of us have allowed him into our homes in the guise of an 594 00:32:57,360 --> 00:33:00,680 exercise program, in the guise of a book we have read, in the 595 00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:04,240 guise of people we have engaged. When habits we are indulging in. 596 00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:07,880 He is seated at our table, driving the culture of our 597 00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:10,720 homes, our marriages, our children's lives. 598 00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:13,440 Many times it's nothing lustful or greedy. 599 00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:17,360 It could be simple demonic entry of fear. 600 00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:21,520 I've heard myself many times say don't do that, don't do that. 601 00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:23,480 You might fall. Oh my gosh, you might. 602 00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:25,160 They won't be doing anything, just be running around like 603 00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:27,680 kids. But my fear, which I've invited 604 00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:30,520 into my life, is seated at the table and driving the narrative 605 00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:33,120 of my home. I think it was Lisa Bevier who 606 00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:36,400 said some of you are so fearful of something happening to your 607 00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:38,440 child that you're not letting anything happen for them. 608 00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:43,800 What is sitting at your table that belongs under your feet? 609 00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:47,960 If he said I have given you all authority to trample snakes and 610 00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:51,360 scorpions, they belong there. They don't belong at our tables. 611 00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:55,040 They don't belong in our ears. They definitely don't belong on 612 00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:57,720 our phones or iPads. Get it out. 613 00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:01,560 Trample it. One of the things that I have 614 00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:04,560 found is I, like I've shared many times, fear is something 615 00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:07,520 I've grappled with of late. I'm finding that fear is almost 616 00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:09,920 like a shadow. It's nothing. 617 00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:12,679 Many of our fears are irrational. 618 00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:16,639 Many of our feelings that we are feeling are driven by fear. 619 00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:19,239 Go to the root. Put it under your feet. 620 00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:22,400 Remind yourself, this is under my feet. 621 00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:25,159 You don't have a hold on me. I'm going to do the thing I was 622 00:34:25,159 --> 00:34:27,239 created for. I'm going to do the thing that I 623 00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:30,280 feel most terrified about because God, if you are in it, I 624 00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:36,920 will trust you. You were built for backing. 625 00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:40,400 You are an overcomer. You are being. 626 00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:45,520 You are being trained to endure, and what belongs under your feet 627 00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:48,600 should stay under your feet. Now, this is the interesting 628 00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:49,719 thing. When I was preparing this, I was 629 00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:52,120 like, but Lord, OK, I'll you've trained me in this. 630 00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:55,800 I know for 42 years. And I realized that when I was 631 00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:58,560 reading Jeremiah 12 that more is coming. 632 00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:03,720 The battles never end. The snakes never end. 633 00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:07,520 When we were leaving Varanasi, Jeremy prayed over us and he 634 00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:09,800 told us both. I see a gate. 635 00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:12,120 There's a transition season. You're entering into something 636 00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:13,640 new. You're entering paths no one has 637 00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:16,320 walked before. And I received it excitedly. 638 00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:19,480 And this morning during worship, the Lord was like, you remember 639 00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:22,600 what a new path looks like. Picture a road. 640 00:35:22,720 --> 00:35:25,640 There's no Rd. It's just a field, tall grass. 641 00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:29,320 When you step into it, you don't know what's in the grass. 642 00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:35,960 You see new snakes, new opposition, higher level of 643 00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:37,920 battle. It's never the same. 644 00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:40,440 I want us to go back to Jeremiah that chapter. 645 00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:44,520 I want the next verse up on the screen as well, which is about 646 00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:48,480 the tickets of Jordan, Jeremiah 12, five and six. 647 00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:53,000 If you have raced with men on foot and have worn you out, how 648 00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:56,320 can you compete with horses? If you stumble in safe country, 649 00:35:56,480 --> 00:36:00,120 how will you manage in the tickets by the Jordan? 650 00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:05,200 The Jordan was so luscious in water it would overflow its 651 00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:09,000 banks that there was such thick vegetation on either side. 652 00:36:09,720 --> 00:36:14,360 But the thick vegetation meant it hid lions, it hid all kinds 653 00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:17,480 of reptiles. So it was a land of promise, but 654 00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:21,320 it had higher level of backing. So you're going to face 655 00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:24,160 unexpected things. You're going to have surprise, 656 00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:26,640 not such a great surprise. You're going to have attacks 657 00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:29,560 from different directions. But you would have got endurance 658 00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:33,040 built from the previous season. You know your position as an 659 00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:35,040 overcomer. It's not going to intimidate you 660 00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:38,040 because you know what? Now you're stepping into a place 661 00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:41,360 of inheritance. Hey, this part, this thing that 662 00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:43,400 I've been fighting is mine for the taking. 663 00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:45,440 Now you become understanding of that. 664 00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:48,680 You've come discerning of that. So the war does not scare you. 665 00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:51,200 The battle doesn't scare you because you're now prepared to 666 00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:54,400 run with horses. And so I want to encourage you. 667 00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:58,080 I want us to go back to that first verse, Ephesians 119 to 668 00:36:58,080 --> 00:36:59,840 23. I'm reading it from The Passion 669 00:36:59,840 --> 00:37:03,240 this time. I pray that you will continually 670 00:37:03,240 --> 00:37:08,200 experience the immeasurable greatness of God's power made 671 00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:11,280 available to you through faith. Then your lives will be an 672 00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:14,400 advertisement of this immense power as it works through you. 673 00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:17,800 This is the mighty power that was released when God raised 674 00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:21,080 Christ from the dead and exalted Him to the place of highest 675 00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:23,880 honour and supreme authority in the heavenly realm. 676 00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:28,600 And now He's exalted as first above every ruler, authority, 677 00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:31,960 government and realm of power in existence. 678 00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:37,200 He is gloriously enthroned over every name that is ever praised, 679 00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:40,680 not only in this age, but in the age that is coming. 680 00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:44,240 And He alone is the leader and source of everything needed in 681 00:37:44,240 --> 00:37:47,920 the Church. God has put everything beneath 682 00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:51,600 the authority of Jesus Christ and has given Him the highest 683 00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:55,840 rank above all others. And now we, His Church, are His 684 00:37:55,840 --> 00:38:00,600 body on the earth, and that which films fills Him who is 685 00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:02,840 being filled by it. I love this. 686 00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:06,880 Your lives will be an advertisement of this immense 687 00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:10,160 power as it works through you. Are you prepared for that? 688 00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:14,120 Because when you say yes to being grown in endurance, when 689 00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:16,720 you say I'll stand as an overcomer, when you say Lord, I 690 00:38:16,720 --> 00:38:19,720 want to reign in Christ, He will fill you with this power and 691 00:38:19,720 --> 00:38:21,560 it'll be made evident to all around you. 692 00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:27,440 Let's face it, we're entering a global season when there's so 693 00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:33,400 much hate against Christians globally, be it America, be it 694 00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:37,880 Europe, be it Asia, the Christians are looked at like, 695 00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:40,600 you know, the scum of the earth many times. 696 00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:43,960 And then there's our brethren who are in the Muslim tribe. 697 00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:47,840 They are looked down on. And then there are other tribes 698 00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:50,520 and people who are also image bearers, right? 699 00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:54,040 And there is a season now which is coming where there will be so 700 00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:56,640 much persecution. But the revival will happen 701 00:38:57,000 --> 00:39:00,120 because the Church of Jesus stays faithful to their mandate 702 00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:02,760 and allows the power of God to course through them. 703 00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:06,880 Because it is only when people see the power of God in us, they 704 00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:09,560 will be saved. Its words are not going to be 705 00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:12,120 enough. Our spoken words may not do it, 706 00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:16,400 but it's going to happen. When believers in ordinary homes 707 00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:19,520 and colleges and offices just say can I pray for you? 708 00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:23,160 And when you pray, when the transference of power happens, 709 00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:25,680 something will shift, lives will be changed. 710 00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:29,720 We need the power if we are going to make a difference in 711 00:39:29,720 --> 00:39:34,680 the rooms we enter. So even as I close, when we 712 00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:37,560 walked into their house, they have a house in Varanasi which 713 00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:40,080 is like actually 3 apartments put together. 714 00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:42,160 The owner lady built it for her children. 715 00:39:42,720 --> 00:39:45,240 She and the kids are not there. So they took up the whole thing 716 00:39:45,240 --> 00:39:47,920 and can we put up the picture on the gate? 717 00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:51,960 And this was the picture that they they had set up an 718 00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:54,560 enterprise and behind which to do all their work. 719 00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:59,040 And this was the picture, it said Mighty River Adventures. 720 00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:02,480 So it would have been like a travel agency through which they 721 00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:05,400 get people and then they would work and they would evangelise 722 00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:06,880 through it. That was the plan. 723 00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:09,920 Now the Cafe has happened. So Jeremy said we're not going 724 00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:13,240 to stick with this name anymore. But when I was preparing this 725 00:40:13,240 --> 00:40:16,880 from Monday onwards. This really stuck with me, so I 726 00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:19,080 took a picture because I don't know what God was trying to tell 727 00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:23,240 me. And on Wednesday evening as I 728 00:40:23,240 --> 00:40:26,880 was preparing, I was asking God. Lord, I know there are areas in 729 00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:30,840 my life I live powerlessly. I complain instead of raining, 730 00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:33,400 you know, there are areas I'm weak. 731 00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:36,080 Lord, can you help me? How do I access this power? 732 00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:39,160 And he reminded me of Ezekiel chapter 47. 733 00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:41,160 So when you go home, you're not going to read it. 734 00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:44,920 It's a beautiful chapter of the river of God flowing from the 735 00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:48,360 Tabernacle. And he talks about, I'm just 736 00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:50,680 going to give you a paraphrase. You can read it for yourself 737 00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:55,080 when you go home. Ezekiel 47 this, this Angel is 738 00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:57,640 measuring the cubits and saying 1000 cubits. 739 00:40:57,640 --> 00:40:59,520 He measures an ankle depth river. 740 00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:03,280 It's trickling out of the temple, but it's magnifying when 741 00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:08,040 it's flowing right And it's first, first thousand cubits, 742 00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:10,800 it's just ankle depth. Then he measures the next 1000 743 00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:13,400 cubits, 1000 cubits is about 1500 feet. 744 00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:17,640 He next measures the next thing, it's waist depth and then it's 745 00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:19,400 above him. He has to swim through it. 746 00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:22,120 And then he quick, the Angel brings Ezekiel back to the 747 00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:24,400 banks. And then he says, did you see 748 00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:25,720 what just happened? And I don't know. 749 00:41:25,720 --> 00:41:27,160 Ezekiel was like us. He's a bit slow. 750 00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:29,720 He didn't get it. Then he pointed out the whole 751 00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:31,400 river and said, look at this river. 752 00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:36,040 Luscious trees bearing fruits around the year are found on the 753 00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:39,840 banks and the river is so filled with life. 754 00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:43,640 Fish is growing in abundance. And then there are fishermen 755 00:41:43,640 --> 00:41:46,200 standing at different places. The names of the places are 756 00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:49,240 mentioned who are fishing and catching these different 757 00:41:49,240 --> 00:41:53,480 varieties of fish. Now we can interpret it in a 758 00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:56,720 million ways, but anytime the river of God is mentioned, it's 759 00:41:56,720 --> 00:42:01,040 talking with the Spirit of God. If you and I do not go in and 760 00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:03,840 stand in this river, we are not going to get the power of God. 761 00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:09,720 Many of us want the power. I read the Bible, I pray great. 762 00:42:10,720 --> 00:42:13,440 How much time do you spend standing in the river of God? 763 00:42:14,720 --> 00:42:18,120 What is this river of God? Jesus said in John Chapter 7. 764 00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:21,440 If anyone thirsts, come to me. Out of Him will flow rivers of 765 00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:26,520 life, which means when I sit every day as a discipline with 766 00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:29,640 the creator of the world, when I'm sitting there with him, I am 767 00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:34,880 telling him spirit of God just flood my soul, flood my life. 768 00:42:35,640 --> 00:42:37,800 Take everything that's not of Maine and Washington it you've 769 00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:40,280 seen when you spray a horse things that don't have to be the 770 00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:44,600 go and when God fills you up, then you come into the House of 771 00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:47,320 God Southern. Many people have told us both we 772 00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:52,600 sense a river flowing here. I want to ask you, are you 773 00:42:52,600 --> 00:42:55,920 someone who's contributing to the flow of the river here, or 774 00:42:55,920 --> 00:42:58,680 are you a dam that's blocking up the flow of God? 775 00:42:59,960 --> 00:43:03,120 Because it may be time to undamp some of those things in our 776 00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:05,280 lives. It could be sin, it could be 777 00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:08,720 anger, it could be hate. It could be a secret life that 778 00:43:08,720 --> 00:43:10,800 no one knows. It could be an agenda that no 779 00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:14,760 one understands or knows, but you know, that is preventing the 780 00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:17,080 flow of God. The river flows, yes. 781 00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:20,920 When you come here, you contribute to the flow because 782 00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:23,080 you've received Jesus, you're receiving from him, you're 783 00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:25,960 pouring out. So when we are speaking, when 784 00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:28,880 Andrea encourages me, it's like the river gushes towards me, 785 00:43:29,880 --> 00:43:33,680 fills me up when I speak over Joyce, it pours out towards her 786 00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:35,640 when she speaks to you. See how it works? 787 00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:39,960 No wonder the Spirit is gushing because each of you are conduits 788 00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:42,880 for the power of God. But you and I will miss out on 789 00:43:42,880 --> 00:43:45,160 that if we are not finding ourselves in the river 790 00:43:45,160 --> 00:43:47,360 regularly. And when I say regularly, I mean 791 00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:51,360 all day, every day. Imagine what it would look like 792 00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:56,120 if our homes were just rivers in itself, where we're soaked in 793 00:43:56,120 --> 00:43:58,640 the presence of God. People walk in there washed by 794 00:43:58,640 --> 00:44:01,600 the Spirit of God. They are encouraged by the 795 00:44:01,600 --> 00:44:03,360 Spirit of God. They are blessed. 796 00:44:04,080 --> 00:44:07,480 We don't have to say a word. The Spirit of God does his work. 797 00:44:07,720 --> 00:44:11,240 And so even now as we close, we are going to pray for that power 798 00:44:11,240 --> 00:44:13,760 to be unleashed in your life. That is what we have been 799 00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:18,440 praying for this whole week. Mighty river adventures. 800 00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:22,080 You want an adventurous life, you need the Holy Spirit in it. 801 00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:26,560 You need to get rid of those. You know those hang ups you have 802 00:44:26,560 --> 00:44:30,920 about the Holy Spirit and say God, I'm here in abandoned, 803 00:44:30,920 --> 00:44:34,440 ready to receive whatever you are giving me, ready to go where 804 00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:36,920 you are asking me. You asked me to pull up my 805 00:44:36,920 --> 00:44:38,480 stakes and move to another place. 806 00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:40,840 I'll do it. You're asking me to do this new 807 00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:42,800 thing in my job. I will do it. 808 00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:50,080 When life is lived in the river, it's adventurous, it's exciting. 809 00:44:51,880 --> 00:44:54,680 We hope you enjoyed today's message and we're blessed. 810 00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:58,520 If you liked what you heard and want to hear more messages from 811 00:44:58,520 --> 00:45:02,040 us, you could rate US and subscribe to our podcast channel 812 00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:06,240 for more content from We Are Zion or if you would like to get 813 00:45:06,240 --> 00:45:12,120 in touch with us, you can go to We Are Zion dot in or follow us 814 00:45:12,120 --> 00:45:14,920 on Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube. 815 00:45:15,840 --> 00:45:21,000 Most importantly, remember that whoever finds Jesus finds life.
