So Romans 8, that critical verse, I'm going to preach on
that today. Are you ready for Romans 8
somebody? Yes, and it is Romans 8, it
talks about God is for you. That song was prophetic.
God is full, He is full. He is for you.
He is worth your peace for you. That's anointed song.
He's full. And so this is going to be good,
good Sunday. Send to your neighbor and say
you picked a good son. Yeah, you picked a good son on
Sunday. It's the thing.
It's not just a normal Sunday. It's a good Sunday today.
And so, yeah, that's what I want to talk about.
That's the thing that God has given me and said, share with my
people that I'm for you. God said he's for you, not
against you. Yeah, God is for you and so not
against you. So God is for you.
You have got more going for you. Can I have some more on the
monitor, please? I don't want to spread my voice.
So yes, if God is for you, then you've got more going for you
than against you. Is that?
Can you say I meant somebody? You've got more going for you
than against you. If you're outweighed, if you do
your mathematics correctly, we'll find out that you're the
majority that matters. Yeah, we are the majority.
We are certainly the majority. We've got more going for us than
against us. Oh, yes.
I feel like preaching this right here from the start.
Can can I preach this today? Somebody?
Oh, Hallelujah. I feel like preaching this.
OK, So because faith is about to rise in this place.
Oh, Hallelujah. You have come to the right place
at the right time, sitting next to the right people this
morning. Come on, somebody.
Something is about to happen in this place.
Oh, yes, Hallelujah. OK.
Now if the coffee has not kicked in yet, don't worry, by the time
the Holy Spirit's done, you'll be wide awake in the fire of
God. Yeah, when the Holy Spirit's
done, when anointing keeps you OK, we thank God for coffee and
coffee and all that. But when the Holy Spirit's done,
you will be wide awake. Wakey, wakey, Hallelujah.
So Are you ready to have some fun, church?
Are you ready to cut loose and break loose and keep God for
glowing all the place? Oh, yes, we're going to have
some church here tonight. We're having church already
discussed. There is a fun in this place and
it's a Holy Ghost vibe. Whoa, I feel the rabbit already.
So let's get encouraged and let's begin the title of today's
message. Backed by heaven.
Somebody say backed by heaven. Backed by heaven.
And so I come to remind you of something simple and strong,
that you are not outnumbered, OK?
You're not out smart. You're not out mind.
You're not out much. But you are backed by heaven.
You are surrounded by help from heaven.
Somebody shout Amen. OK, So when you woke up this
morning, you did not wake up alone, OK?
God's presence was there with you.
God's presence, God's power, God's anointing when you woke up
this morning. So you didn't step into this day
by yourself, OK? You stepped in by God, in his
presence, by the word of God and yes, God goes before you and I
love that song who goes before you, behind you, beside you, all
around you, with me and you Hallelujah, He's with you, he's
for you. I love it.
The God is around you, he surrounds you before you, behind
you, I'm the left, the right, beside you, all around you, with
you. God is with you, God is for you.
And they keep on the clearing that and that plague is that's
the the sermon that I want you to preach to the church because
that's the now word that God is giving us that he is with you.
He's for you, around you, surrounding you, Hallelujah, the
glory of God. And so yes, that's why I'm here
to tell somebody today that God is with you.
God is for you, that you are backed by heaven.
Yeah, you are backed by heaven. Say just me.
I'm backed by heaven. I am backed by heaven.
God's got your back. That's valve when you catch that
drug link and I'm back by heaven.
Yeah, Come on, somebody tell your neighbor you are back by
heaven. You are back by heaven.
Back by heaven, right. Let's go to let's open our Bible
Roman site. I'll put it up on the screen
like usual, man. Roman site.
Luca from is one of my favourites versus this is
powerful. This is going to bless somebody.
Watch this. If God is for us, who can be
against us? It's just by the Father.
We thank you for your wrap around praises.
We thank you for every person and the sound of our voice.
Lord speak, we are listening. Holy Spirit, breathe upon us.
Open our eyes, let faith arise, let this word come alive in US
and we pray in the name of Jesus, somebody shout Amen.
Yeah. So the Bible says that God is
for us, then who could be against us so that the right of
the entire universe is for us? So if God, the maker of heaven
and earth, the moon and the stars, everything is for us,
then who can override him? Who can overhaul him?
If he stands with you, if he is for you, OK, the one who spoke
light Into Darkness stands with you, the Creator of entire
universe. Now what critic can cancel what
he confirms? What critic can stand up the
voice of God? What critic can criticize the
Church of God? The Bible says that the gates of
hell will not profile. OK, so they will break, they
will give way because the greater creator of the universe
is for us. If God is for us, then listen,
who or nothing can be against us.
Hallelujah, No. Yes, life sometimes can feel
heavy and difficult. OK?
We all go through seasons where things feel pressure, difficulty
everywhere. OK, A financial bolt stacked up
on the side, a medical doctor's report on that side.
OK, tension and stress at work, pressure at home.
And it feels like like pressure all around.
And it's pressing in. And if you're boxed in and you
look around and you're like, I don't see a way out.
Because if I look at this side, there's pressure, pressure this
side, I'm feeling boxing and pressure everywhere.
There's no way. And it feels like surrounded,
surrounded by pressure and difficulty.
But here's the good news. Whatever is surrounding you,
whatever pressure and difficulty surrounding you, the Bible says
God has already surrounded. You're going to get the
sentiment at somebody. Whatever pressure is surrounded
you, the Bible says that God has already surrounded you, already
been surrounded by the most somebody shout Hallelujah.
I said. What the enemy wants to convince
you often make you think that you are alone, that you just on
your but that's not the truth. That's a high.
The truth is that you are surrounded by God.
You are backed by heaven by the wrap around presence of almighty
God. I love that song surrounded.
You understand what we are singing church when you're
singing surround. We are surrounded by look.
We are really surrounded by God. It may look like I'm surrounded,
OK. It may look like I'm surrounded
by the enemy. It may look like I'm surrounded
by pressures of this world. It may look like I'm surrounded
by I am surrounded. What's the higher truth?
It may look like the facts they seek in list of the
demonstration, but there's a higher truth.
I am surrounded by the most high guys.
Somebody's going to get this today.
Somebody shot on America guys, some praise and bestows some 125
years children as the mountains surround somebody say surround
Jerry Sunning. Some of the Lord surrounds his
people and forever. So just like Jerusalem is
surrounded by the hills and the mountains, that surrounding
picture, that is what God says this is that is how I surround
your life. That is how I hold you in a
shaking world. I surround you.
Are you with me, somebody now maybe to go?
You feel under pressure, you feel boxing frustrated, or you
are staring at disappointment or delaying, or you are staring at
this big Jericho wall right in front of you.
But just ask Joshua about the walls of Jericho that looked
unbreakable, that looked unbeatable.
Now I sure had no catapults or ladders to get over those walls.
All they had was a word from God and a strategy to put rush the
process of heart around surround.
I don't care what all is surrounded that city, but
surrounded by the presence of God.
And when heaven surrounds the wall, those walls could not
stand whatever devil payment oppression pressure cannot stand
when heaven surrounds your situation, your life because of
the rapper and presence of God. And so in your life, if you had
a Jericho wall of limitation and pressure, the same God who
surrounded the Jericho walls, surrounded and shook it, that
surrounds you with his presence. God surrounds your situation
with his presence. Come on, somebody.
The same God who circled those walls in cherry cup and the
walls came tumbling down. The same God he surrounded your
life, your marriage, your home, your somebody.
Get excited. Give us a place you got a preach
today. My preaching is better than
you're trapping today back Hallelujah.
Praise God. Come on, say I'm surrounded by
the most my God. Oh yes.
Oh, I just pray that you grab hold of this powerful principle
in the word of God today. I really pray wagging your
spirit, your life will never be the same again when you grab
this powerful revelation from the word of God here today.
And so if you feel pressure, if you feel boxed in, if you feel
that you are tried, look at Elijah.
Look what happened to him when Elijah was surrounded by the
enemy. This is a very powerful lesson
we can learn when he was fasting to pressure surrounding by the
enemy. Remember what happened.
I'll show you in second Kings chapter 6.
Let me just give it to you and contact you King Iran.
The enemy always tried to ambush Israel and every time he planned
to ambush Israel got away. Why is it the Israel got away
and the escape and here's the enemy, Here's King Iran.
He's like, listen, it's going to be a spy in my officers because
somebody's leaking out intelligent information.
This secret information has been leaked out here.
And he keeps on accuses these these generals.
And one of the officers stood up and he said there's a prophet
and his man is Elisha. And he speaks everywhere that
you speak. Oh, privacy speak where?
In your bedroom. Oh, that's private telling me
the prophet of God hears everything he's saying in his
see pick. That's divine intelligence.
You what's happening in the Pentagon, writer?
Oh, what's happening in the White House now?
What's happening in the politics right now?
Oh my God, the prophets know. The prophets of God, we are now.
We know this hour, we know what's coming.
God is always a step ahead of the enemy, always knows.
And every time the enemy tries to ambush, he saw, he saw, got
away. Every time the devil tries to
attack the church, we are getting away.
The case of all will not prevail against the church.
Somebody, the violent senators. And so, yes, the king is like
this, Go get this prophet. Go capture him.
I want him dead if he's going to know all these things that I'm
doing in private in the bedroom, go get it.
And so he sends an army, a huge entire army, He sends it.
Go get one person all an entire, I think about that, an entire
army, huge army to go and capture one prophet.
Wow, Hell overreacts when heaven starts rebating.
We are living in a time of revelation.
All things are getting exposed around the globe on a scale like
we've ever seen is being exposed late Friday.
And Spencer, it cannot stay in the dark anymore.
That's why hell is reacting. That's why there's attacks going
on, because the enemy's brain has been exposed.
Somebody shot. Hallelujah.
So I want you to see this because Second Kings chapter 614
then he sent horses and challenges and strong force
then. So yeah, the end.
I mean this around descending. They went by night and they
surrounded the city. So they they surround Elijah the
prophet, Elijah the prophet, they surround it and the enemy
is everywhere surrounded. Now, the fact that the enemy
sent a huge army, such a big army, it shows your billion hell
never wastes resources on people that's going nowhere, OK?
And so if there is pressure, OK, then there is purpose.
If there is a fight, there's a future, OK?
And so I don't want you to miss your battle because really it's
a backhanded compliment that you are a threat to darkness.
You are a threat to the Kingdom of darkness.
It's a background, a compliment from the devil and from hell
that you are dangerous. You are a dangerous Christian to
the darkness forces of hell and the devil.
You are dangerous. And so the size of the attack
determined when he proves the size of your assignments.
Watch. Show me the size of attack, the
size of the storm in your life, and I'll show you the calling on
your life, the size of your assignments.
For the enemy to send an entire army to capture one prophet, it
means it's very, very dangerous. The prophet is a huge threat.
The prophetic church is a threat to the Kingdom of darkness.
That's why there's been so many attacks.
That devil is nervous because he knows his time is short, very
limited. We are going to spend eternity
and eternities in heaven, but the devil knows he's going to be
in hell forever, so he knows he's only a very short, limited
time. That's why the attacks, that's
why there's such an urgency. The towns that we are living in
right now, that's why that's the enemy is trying to attack every,
but he's strategic and those that are a threat to him, those
that are coming against his Kingdom on his plans because
Jesus, the Son of God was manifested to destroy the works.
We are here for one thing, to destroy the works of the
darkness. We are coming in a red conflict
with warfare, with darkness. And yes, Elijah, Elijah.
And he is revealing the enemy's plans.
Now. His servant wakes up early in
the morning at dawn, and when he walks out, he sees the enemy and
the soldiers on the hills and he's surrounded and he's like,
Oh my Lord, what shall we do? Many panels.
He's panicked. There's more.
And he's fearful. He's like, oh, what shall we do?
He looks around and his enemies surrounding him and Elijah, and
he runs right back in and he's like, Oh no, what shall we do?
Have you ever had a what shall we do moment when a shocking
e-mail comes in? OK.
Or it's a bill payment, or it's like a storm that hits or a
rumor that spreads, or it's a gossip, or it's something like a
like a medical scan or like a medical doctor's report, and it
shocks what shall we do moment? And Elijah did not flinch.
Elijah did not punish. Elijah calmly said, do not be
afraid. Now watch this because those who
are for us are more than they. Oh, somebody's getting this
merch today. Yes.
Yes.
Yes, Yes, yes. Those that are for us.
Come on. I told you we are in the
majority. I told you this 40 that we are
not outnumbered. I told you that there is 4 for
us. There's four for the church.
There's four for us. Then for the devil, there's four
for us. The final friend of legendary.
Hallelujah, that's a revelation. Somebody, the majority that
matters. Yes, we are in the majority.
If you do your maths now, Second Kinks, let me read it to you.
Don't be afraid. This is Elijah speaking.
Don't be afraid, the prophet answers.
Those who are with us. What is he talking about?
Are more than those who are with them.
And so here's the server. And he preached his life.
I think your maths is off. Excuse me, Sir.
Sir. You know, Elijah, you know, I
really love your preaching and your prophet of God.
Well, I think your maths is off. OK.
I just see two of us. Listen, just just watch this
though, because I only see the two of us.
And I see thousands of them when I look on the mountains around
us. We are surrounded by thousands
of armies, but there's just two of us, OK.
And you say that there's more with us.
It doesn't like things in the natural.
It doesn't like, yes, it's seven that he's thinking about this.
It doesn't make sense that there's more with us.
OK? We too against thousands.
Thousands. So what is he saying?
And he's like, OK, here's the key.
Fear counts, hits faith counts on God.
Can you say your name somebody. Now Elijah prayed a simple pray.
Now what's the turnover? What's this?
Elijah pray open? Oh Lord, please just open his
eyes, Lord, so that he may. In fact, I think if I see that
there is more for us. They, the Lord opened his
servants eyes and he looked and what did he see?
He saw the hills full of horses, Chariots of fire, all about
Eliza at the Hall of Heaven. Warriors, Angel armies are
there. Oh Hallelujah, that's what
Revelation does. It shifts your sight.
All of a sudden his eyes open and he realises, hey, we are not
just surrounded by the enemy, but we are surrounded by God.
So what surrounds are is already surrounded by God, surrounded by
heaven, backed by heaven. Somebody shout Hallelujah, are
you getting this Revelationships?
What's surrounding you is already surrounded by God, so
he's not denying the enemies. The enemies didn't all of a
sudden disappear and go away. He just had a revelation.
His eyes opened up of this. Advantage that God has
surrounded the enemy. And if God today pull the
curtain back today, you will see angels standing around your
home, around your family, around your children.
You'll see angels hosted and standing around your future and
your destiny. If God pulls the curtain today,
you will see the angels standing all around your life, in your
home, in your neighbor. You'll see the angels of God and
you will understand that there is more for us than those
against us. If God pulls the curtain today,
you understand you are not just a lonely believer trying to just
survive. No, you are a beloved child of
God under defined protection, supernatural protection.
Oh yes, you understand that level of protection.
When I saw that level of security with the president, I
saw the bodyguards everywhere. That level of protection, high
level of safety and divine protection around your life.
Now, sometimes God does not remove the enemy.
It has not removed the only, but he reveals your advantage.
He shows you that you are in the majority.
And So what he does is just like, listen, I'm not going to
change your environment or your circumstances.
But what I'm going to do is I'm going to change your eyesight.
I'm going to change the way you see things, your perception.
I'm going to change your focus and your eyesight, because when
your view changes, your victory changes.
Come on, somebody, are you getting this again?
This. When your view changes, your
victory changes. Because I want you to see the
difference between faith and fear.
Because fear studies the problems, but faith studies the
promises. So faith, OK, it's not in
denial. Faith does not pretend it's not
there. We don't deny the facts.
We don't deny that there's no problems and enemies that
attacks. We don't deny that, OK, But what
we do is we acknowledge something that is higher than
the facts. So the facts might say, OK, this
is the medical diagnosis, this is the problem.
That's the difficulty, that's the facts.
But what faith does, it doesn't deny and pretend it's not there.
We are not liars and put our heads down in the sand.
We know there's an enemy, there's problems and prison
difficulty. But what faith does, it declares
a higher truth, something that is higher than the facts itself.
It's a higher. And So what is the higher truth?
Yes, we are surrounded by the enemy, but the higher truth is
that God has already surrounded us, has already surrounded the
enemy. The problem, the pressure.
Are you getting this somebody? So what surrounds you is already
surrounded by. So when the enemy circles, your
father draws a bigger circle. How about somebody?
Are you getting this? So when the enemy circles die
comes and he circles your enemy, Oh my God, what a God we serve,
oh wise God. Then every fixing circle and God
says I'll circle your enemy and God circles the enemy.
And So what happens is you are not trapped, you are protectors
by the wrapping round presence of God.
And I was just praying this morning and I hold his arms
around me. I'm like, oh, that's my father
wrapping his arms around his bride.
That's what Dwight does. He he wraps his arms around his
bride, his church. The wrap around presence of God
is dangerous for the enemy. And so Elijah did not go into
denial. Elijah did not put his head in
the sand and pretend, oh, there's nothing there.
No, no, no, he did not close his eyes and hope that the enemy
would go away. No, he declared the higher
truth, OK, the word of God. And so the battle may not
change, but your view, it's the view that change.
It's the perspective, the way you see and perceive.
And so perspective, it turns panic into peace.
That's what happens when your perspective change.
You understand what I'm saying? So faith, listen, faith is not
something that pretends faith does not say, OK, Blind to the
facts of the truth. No.
Faith sees, but sees beyond. OK, so it sees through the IT
looks through the storm and it sees this idea that's fun.
It sees through the cross and it sees the crowd.
It sees through the pain and it sees the promise.
Faith sees the bigger picture. That's how faith sees the.
I remember I used to play a lot of rugby and so we watched
rugby. This is now back in South
Africa, my brother there and we on the pavilion on the stand
there in Pretoria, they in office and I was just watching
and this is a very important year end match.
This rugby match is really against our arch enemies voter
Cliff, which is 11 of the other high schools.
And so these guys, they lay out on the field what the Cliff they
did they they first out on the field and they looked, they
looked big and strong. I mean, these guys look pretty.
And my brother sucked me like on the shoulder.
And he's like, well, listen, these guys look strong.
They they look, they've got more than us.
They're more professional. They've got more.
But I said to you, look again, because you haven't seen
something, you haven't seen the reserves on the bench.
You haven't taken into consideration our cultures.
You haven't even listened the the crowd that's cheering
behind. You've not taken any other.
You see, you've just looked on the field.
Don't just look at it and and look like we are at a
disadvantage because those people are on the field.
It looks like we're at a disadvantage, but we are not
outnumbered because you haven't looked who's on the bench, you
haven't looked. Listen, I was saw players there
on the bench. They're not even on the field
yet. We are not outnumbered.
Come on somebody, we are not not numbered.
We are in the majority. You take and you look at the
bigger picture from the stands. And I said to my brother, look
again, Luke was sitting on the bench.
Those the star players are on the bench at the right time.
They'll come on the field. The whole thing will turn
around. And that's exactly what
happened. That's the only one.
And so I just want to tell it, look at the bigger picture.
Don't just count what is on the field.
Don't just look in the natural. That is what Jesus said to
Peter. Peter, you are only thinking of
natural things and you know what?
That is dangerous. That's a dangerous mindset when
you only look things in the natural, you have got to look at
things in the spirit. Look at the bigger picture.
You have got to count everything in count who is for us?
Father, Son, Holy Spirit, the highest name that is above every
other name, the word of Father that's not returned, boy, the
blood of Jesus, angels, angels on assignment, testimony after
testimony of this. I can go on and on and on.
And so when the enemy says, oh, look at what's coming against
you, look at this, what's coming against you, look at you say,
hang on, count again, let's say look again, okay, Because
looking is for us who God is for us.
My God is bigger, God is more. I said the question is not
really who is against us, but it's really who is for us, who
is with us, who is fighting for us, Who is standing there in his
head? The Bible says like God is for
us, These were for us. How do they like to be against
us? Somebody, God is for you, He's
for us. That's the word of all today.
He is for us, for me. Come and say that He's for me.
Somebody shot. God is for me.
Again, God is for me.
The clearing lawyers for me every day today, this week,
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, throughout the day, driving your
car, wherever you are, Goddess for me, doing the dishes,
cleaning, tidy up. Goddess for me.
Waking up in the morning, in the evening, Goddess for me.
It's very tough quiet this week, just where you are, the grocery
store shopping. Where you out in the Goddess for
me. God is for me.
Oh my God.
It will change your entire mind shift.
It's a mind shift change. God is for me.
Yes, judge. God is for you.
Tell you later. God is for you.
God is for me. Yeah, God is God is for you.
God is for you. David said in Psalm one of the
21. Watch this.
I lift up my eyes to the mountains.
Where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the
Maker of heaven. So what did he do?
He's like, OK, wait, where's my help going to come?
OK, this is going to be from the politics.
My boss. Where's he going to come from?
Where is my help going to come from?
What did David do when he's like, listen, who's going to
help me? He lifted up his eyes.
That's action. So he lifted his eyes.
And that's the revelation that I want you to get today, because
if you stare at the storm for too long, you will think like
Peter, who walked on the water. And so he looked at the waves.
Now the waves and the wind did not get stronger.
His focus got smaller. Your victory is linked and
connected to your view. You're getting to somebody.
OK, now watch this powerful. I want to show you something
about High God in Genesis chapter 21.
Because there she is in the desert.
There's no water, no hope. Tears are running streaming down
her face and she's like all hubs gone and she put down her baby
boy under the Bush because she cannot stand to watch him die.
There's nothing they on their last room.
But the Bible says in verse 19, God opened up her eyes and she
saw a wall of water. Now the wall of water it was
already there. God did not have to create
something new already. He just opened her eyes to see
what is already within reach already that is provided there
for her. He just revealed what is there
and your provision. It is already positioned beside
your pain. All that you need is eyes to
see. That's all that you need.
That's it's there. Your miracle is there.
Your your blessing. It's beside you.
This within your reach. It is there.
It shows. All that you need is eyes to see
it. Let that be the prayer of your
heart. No, no.
But my eye is here. It's there.
Your miracle that you've been waiting for.
It's beside you that you'd be like.
It's just waiting for your view to change.
Change the view. Just change the perspective.
Your miracle is beside you. It's right there.
It's beside you. Your miracle is there.
Look at your name. See.
Your miracle is beside you. It's there.
Yeah. They show miracle.
Thank you, Lord, that we just
open our eyes and we see the miracle that is right beside you
in your home, under your bed there.
The miracle is there. It's under the Bush.
It's there. The one of water has always been
there. She thought she's about to die
and it's God. Open her eyes.
Oh, there's the water church. We're talking about life and
death here. This is some words from heaven
today. Now let me throw you another
one. Now you look like.
Can I go deeper? You.
Because let's walk with the disciples on the way to the
mothers. Yeah.
And their faces were not their faces were down.
Their hearts were heavy. Their buried, their dreams
buried with Jesus faces all down.
Oh, this is the Lord. This is the end.
But the reason Lord is walking beside him.
Amen. Life is so hard.
It's so difficult. It's so difficult.
Are we going to die? We're not going to make it.
The recent Lord himself was walking beside them right there.
They just didn't recognize it. Oh Lord, open up our eyes.
So many times we're living in this world, God's light.
The answer is there. The miracle is there, the
blessing is there. Just open your eyes.
It's right there. Let God pull the clutching over
your eye. Let God open your eyes.
The disciples were walking. Oh my goodness, how is this
going to work? Jesus, the risen Lord and Savior
was walking right beside them, but they heavy they depressed we
but there's Jesus and there we go and it's not so it's already
been there all along. So we are really suffering.
It's really hard. Well, this life is so difficult.
There's the savior of the world, face the miracle, but one touch
is shuffling entirely and others, it was only until they
broke bread when their eyes opened and they realized, Oh my
God, this Jesus, he was with us. Jesus, revelation, open
recognition. And some of you, you've been
going through difficult seasons and times.
You've been asking God, where are you going through difficult
times and challenges? God, where I God is whispering
to you, I am right beside you. God is whispering to us right
now. I am here.
I am in your midst. I'm walking right beside you in
that situation. I am with you.
I am for you. I am like all that you need is
your eyes, stupid. You just haven't seen me yet.
The miracle, the breakthrough. You just haven't seen it yet.
So let this be our pray this week.
Church. Lord.
Open my eyes. Come on, say that.
Lord. Open my eyes.
Come on. Say it again.
Lord. Fire to God.
Open my eyes. Oh Lord, and I want to see you
open the eyes of my heart, Lord, open the eyes of my heart.
I want to see you. I want to see you high in love
that I can, shining in the light of your glory.
Power, your power alone as we sing.
Holy, holy, holy. He's right there, right next to
you when you wake up in the morning, right there at your
job, right there in the kitchen in the home, right there with
the children in the family. He's right beside you.
Just open your eyes to see. Don't stare at the waves.
Don't stare at the storm. Don't stare at the wire.
Look to the signer who's walking on the water.
Don't stare at the deficit. Look at the the never don't fix
sight of the world. Look at the heater.
Oh right, open our eyes to see whites.
Yes, see here. Yes, perspective makes the
difference. Think about a football camera
that allows you to see heat. When that thermal camera, when
you put a thermal camera, you can see the heat.
Now in the natural eye, you just look and they see, you know, it
looks like it's just an empty room.
And so you put a thermal candle on and you can actually see the
heat. You can see what's going on in
the room. That's a lens of faith.
When you look through the lens of faith, you will see hope
where there's depression. When you put on it the lens of
faith, you will see there's life where there seems like there's
nothing that's going on. That's why faith us the way you
see, the higher, the bigger picture, the eyes of faith, you
see the victory. That's how faith looks like
that. It reveals what's going on in
the invisible. That's why during this time now
we are needing eyes to see. That's why you're in a prophetic
church here today. That's why God brought you to a
prophetic church, because he's about to open your eyes to see
things that you've never seen before.
Get ready, church, get ready. Get ready for appearance.
Get ready for awakening. Get ready for urban eyes.
Get ready to see. They say quaint to 20th vision.
They say eagle eye vision. You're going to see the enemy.
You're going to see the sermon, the spread of the sermon.
You're going to the same situations.
You're going to see the victory, You're going to see the miracle,
God's provision, because that's the invisible.
You see God's provision, you see God's protection.
You see God's presence. You just discern it.
You're in that situation and you're in the mall and you just
spot that and God reveals it to you and you receive it and you
get the place because your eyes are open and you see where it
seems like there's nothing in the room, but God pulls the
curtains and you see the angelic standing amongst us.
You see the glorious fire of God.
You see the horses, the Chariots of fire that's surrounding this
place wherever you go, in your family, in your business, in
your bank account, in your finances.
Now maybe when you you view things, because listen, your
view is connected to your mood. The way you see and perceive
things is connected to your mood, your emotions.
So if you want your emotions to shift, shift your perspective.
Lift your eyes, see in the way God sees.
So if you feel frustrated, when you feel, if you feel depressed
and you feel disappointed and you feel low and feel worn out,
lift your eyes and see the waters of refreshing that is
within your reach. See the joy of the law that is
in there. See the joy of the law.
See that, see the peace. Because when you change your
view, you change your victory the way you see when you see a
bigger picture. That's how when I watched that
rapping match and I saw my brother was we're going to lose
this much. I said no, hang on, look again.
Our key players are sitting on the bench.
They are on the the key sports people.
They are on the reserves, on the bench.
What's this generation? The revealing of the sons and
the goddess of car. We are in that generation right
now. Romans chapter 8.
Romans chapter 8, the entire creation is waiting.
They are not on the field gate shirts.
No, no, no, no. We have not seen the men in the
woman of God yet. They are coming.
Gold Breakers and Wakeners are coming.
The groups of tomorrow are the leaders of today.
Come on, it's going to happen. It's going to happen.
It's going to be a revealing. There's going to be an unveiling
of the manifested Suns and goddess of God that looks at the
sun and says stop people who stop.
We stop the evil agenda in our nation and you'll see sons and
daughters, the water walkers, the sons and the daughters of
God that moves mountains and sucks destruction that's going
in this world. The sons and the daughters of
God is about to be unveiled. Get ready church, get ready.
The same God who opened Elijah's servants arms, the same God who
shout Hagar this the water. The same God who opened the eyes
of the disciples is real. He's here in our Mets.
He's standing beside you. He's right.
Yeah. Hallelujah.
Somebody. Somebody.
Yeah, because you are backed by power, you are backed by heaven,
you are surrounded by help from heaven, You are surrounded by
and Trinic angels on assignment. And so Psalm 91, verse 11 for He
will command his angels concerning you to guard you in
all your words. Yeah, you are cut by his
command. His commander is Angels, your
personal security team. Yeah, go and watch the
presidents of the world's the level of security.
When a president or a leader of a world goes for the country,
look at the level of security that accompanies that person.
And we're not just talking about bodyguards.
We're just talking about ACI and KBR.
We are talking about high level security, undercover security
that is sitting amongst us. The level of security if the
church will just open their eyes and see and understand the level
of protection. Because when it gets darker, God
says, I shine brighter. Now watch this.
I want to show another verse. Hebrews 114 The angels are not
all angels, ministering spirits sent to serve those who will
inherit salvation. OK, so who is the ones that
inherit salvation? That's you.
So that's us. That's what God is saying.
So the angels, the ministering spirit, are sent to the though.
So if you have Jesus in your life, God has already assigned
reinforcements in your direction.
So really what you have is you have backup.
So when the police is in a dangerous situation and they
just one or two in the car and they need backup, they make a
phone call to the head office straight away.
I need backup. That's the ace of salvation that
we have as a child of God. When the police call for backup,
I want you to know that when you call on the name of Jesus angels
is being unleashed and released into your direction.
Come on somebody they told us what they already did.
You have got back up. Come on.
You've got back up this back up the security for you.
Oh Hallelujah. And so you are not alone.
You are backed by Heather, each and everyone of you.
I want you to know that you've got back up now.
I remember when I was on the phone, I watch my grandparents
and they had the farm dogs and it's amazing how those dogs soak
of the sheep and they they protect the sheep from falling
in dangerous beaches and any dangerous predators.
How those and like shepherds, what they do is with it's
amazing these sheepdogs, how the sheepdog would go and the
sheepdog would surround this flock.
That's like heavens angels, it's like heavenly sheepdogs
surrounding our lives, protecting us from danger,
falling off a Cliff, going into danger, keeping us safe, protect
God, us surrounding us by the presence of God.
So you are never alone. Don't forget this promise.
Psalm 34 / 7, The Angel of the Lord encamps around, again
around, that's your fear and he delivers them in pubs.
It's meaning that he stands, OK? It's not a drive through and
catching. They stay with you, they
protect, they go, they watch over you standing God around
your children, standing God around your purpose and your
family. And so there is an ingenic
parameter that is surrounding you, OK?
Even the enemy acknowledged and admitted that when he looked at
Job, he said listen, I cannot touch Job because he's
surrounded. He's surrounded this protected
and so before you woke up this morning, you've already had the
security team has already been on shift even before you woke up
this morning because they watch over you when you sleep.
So don't underestimate the angelic strength.
One Angel, the Bible says Overslew an entire army.
That's the Bible, right? One Angel oversrew an entire
army in the Bible is very specific cities 185,000.
So 1 Angel oversaw 185,000 enemy soldiers.
OK, that's one Angel. Now imagine an entire company of
Angel in your street and in your neighborhood around in your
house. Imagine that level of strength
or that level of power and protection around your home and
your family and your children walking down the street,
covering your future. Picture them walking with your
children. 1 Angel that consume 185,000 enemies.
You're not going to worry about your child's project.
Of course there's an Angel. The angel's taking care of
business, protecting them. Picture them standing with you,
those angels standing with you in the office just before you go
in there in the lobby, before you go into a business meeting.
Picture those angels standing here, live confidently, these
angels surrounding you when you're done.
That's the level of protection, the sanctity, the word of God
that push around you and so invisible because so the
invisible doesn't mean inactive while you sleep and you'll thank
God. They watch over you, they
protect you. Some hold back storms, they
divert danger, stop accidents. Some angels, they prepare open
doors you'll soon walk through. You are covered.
Like, come on, you've got backup.
Yeah, you've got backup. Backup Angel.
May God open the eyes and see the amount of angels and you'll
say with the prophet Elijah saying that they are more for us
than those against us. Fear will run away very quickly
when your eyes open up and you see the size of angels next to
you. We're not just talking
bodyguards. We're talking about angelic
hosts that can slay the enemy, that can deal with every enemy
that comes against you. Now, there's this story about
the missionary. Have you heard the missionary,
John Paton? He served in the South Pacific.
And so he was there at night, and this tribal hostile tribe
surrounded his house with fire that got tortures of fire in
their hands, ready to kill Peyton and his wife.
Fear everywhere, in the darkness, everywhere.
And so Payton and his wife, they did the only thing they know
what to do, and that is to pray throughout the night.
All fountain, and they pray through the darkness.
And the next morning at dawn, all the attackers were gone.
No attack, no violence, just silence.
Then a year later, the chief of that hostile tribe got
converted. He received Jesus Christ as his
Lord and Savior and so patron. Curious, he asked the chief.
He said, I was just curious, why did you never attack us that
night? Chief?
He's reply. It still gives me chills today.
He said we were afraid because we saw these big, huge tall men
with shining clothes and with shining swords standing guard
and protecting your house. Come on, somebody.
Hallelujah. Yes, yes, yes.
Oh, by glowing in Hanananana even has posted guards, guards
around the house. Listen, I come from Africa.
I've seen this tribal witchdraw, but I've seen the angelic.
It's far better than any witchcraft.
That's when we go into Africa. I've been on these visions of
when we go in, we see the angelic stronger inflicted by
every Wicks and Wizards. You're never afraid of the
darkness because you know who you've got with you.
Angels on assignment. And so they were they protected.
And sometimes, even if you're going dangerous, even this guy,
the Titans did not even see the angels.
But the enemy there, the enemy show.
I said, maybe you feel under attack.
Maybe you feel darkness around your faults, your home, your
family, your health, your finances.
Listen, what surrounds you is already surrounded by God.
You're surrounded by heaven. You're backed by heaven,
surrounded by help from heaven. God has drawn a circle of fire
around you, protecting you. Somebody shout Hallelujah.
Come on, give God some primes. Yeah, I'm surrounded by God.
Say that. I'm surrounded by the most high
God. The most high God.
Let me throw another one. In Acts chapter 12 tells about
Peter. He was in prison, and so he's
chained up in a prison cell in between God, and he's locked
behind highland gates. I said it looks like this is the
final end of Peter. But the church fights.
And when the church cried, heaven moved and all of a sudden
the prison cell lights up and an Angel showed up and the Angel
appears there. And what happens in that moment
when the Angel appeared in the prison cell, the change fell off
and the prison doors break open and Peter walked out free.
Notice this. The Angel did not appear outside
of the prison. The Angel did not show up
outside the prison and waited for pizza's change to come loose
and fell out of war. The Angel appeared in the prison
right there where pizza was back.
And that is important to notice because that is how God works.
God moves and he sends help into the mess, into the challenge,
into the depression, the anxiety, the fear, the
difficulty. He sends help into your
situation. And so maybe today you are
changed by fear or financial debt or anxiety or depression or
sickness or whatever you are trying.
If you, I want you to, you are not alone.
God sends help. He sends his Angel, his
ministering spirits, and heaven's warriors don't wait for
you until you get out of the make, until you get free out of
the situation. They move into the situation
with you. They come into your struggle,
into depression, anxiety, into your situation, and they escort
you out because angels are pushing back.
What is pushing against you? They are fighting the forces of
darkness. And so they carry healing, they
carry freedom, they carry breakthrough in the winds.
And so I want you to get this that you are backed up by you've
got back up. If you find yourself in a
difficult, troubling situation, the first thing you do is call
on Jesus. I know it's easy to pick up the
final phone. So what is somebody saying you
go, I know, I know, but next time the Bible says God is a
very present in the help of trouble, let me be your first
call, OK? Yes, we found the doctor, yes we
go to the hospital, yes we found the mum or the dad in the
family. I get that.
But what about Jesus? What about the first point of
contact? What about him that is the
highest it's so easy to get comfort.
Let me find my buddy, let me find this person, let me find
someone so speak to say what about Jesus?
What about going on on these and say Lord, I'm really in a tough,
difficult situation right now. Let him be the number one.
Let him be your not the one first lover.
The the first one we want to because he's a very present help
in a time of trouble and you've got back up.
If the police finds themselves in an emergency society, the
first thing they do is they get on that phone or that radio and
they say, listen, we need back up.
That's the first thing we need to do as Christians.
We need to call on heaven in the storm, call on heaven in the
difficulty, in the trouble. Call on heaven.
Now, I'm not saying it's wrong to get advice and go see a
doctor and speak to somebody. I'm not saying that.
I'm just saying who is your first cry for help?
Who is our number one? Now I want to bring this to a
close because we've talked about perspective and protection and
power. Now I want to talk and close
this message with heavens. Yes, Roman sites verse 32 He who
did not spare his own son, but gave him up for us all, how will
he not also along with him, graciously give us all things?
So if God has already given us his face, why would He withhold
the rest? If He's given us his very best,
why would He withhold the rest? Why would He withhold peace when
we need peace? Why would he withhold strength
when we need? Why would He withhold help for
to die? If He's already proved to us
that He's given us his very best, why would He hold back the
rest he's given? He showed us his best, the
eternal Jesus on the cross he gave God gave his Son the very
best that was his. Yes, on the cross, when Jesus
stretched out his heads, his arms on the cross, Jesus on the
cross did not whisper. Maybe when he stretched out his
arms without nails, that blood leaving for each and every one
of us. Yes.
Yes to my people. Yes to forgiveness.
Yes to heaven. Yes to your future.
Yes to my God, yes. To my church, Jesus on the close
to God. Yes.
Some of them showed. Yes.
Yes, that's Jesus. Yes.
I gave you my life. I gave you my everything.
Almost forward. Not really.
Give you all other things. Do you need peace?
Do you need freedom? Do you need joy?
What is it? I'll give it to you.
Heaven. Yes.
Somebody shall guess. Yes.
Hallelujah. He's not withholding.
Church.
He's not withholding. He's not holding back.
No, he's not holding back. He said yes, heavens yes.
Of your life forever, Yes. On the cross and so many times
in this world, we Yeah, No, no. From the bands, no.
From the economy, no. But the enemy council, no.
When heaven said yes. Because every promise in Christ
is yes and Amen. Amen.
Peace for you, peace for you. He goes before you, behind you,
around you, surrounding within. He's with you, He's for, he's
for you, He's for you, He's for you.
Yes and Amen in Christ. And so when life says no, when
economy says no, you look up heaven.
I said yes. Heaven declared yes.
Somebody shout yes, Yeah. Now let me paint you that
victory. It was June 6th, 1944, D-Day,
Normandy. The Allied soldiers have been
exhausted. World War 2 has been going on
for year, for a long time. The soldiers, they are tired,
battered, bruised. They face set back after set
back, loss after loss. In the muddy trenches these
soldiers fought. Listen, this is it.
We are outnumbered. We cannot win this.
The enemy looked way too strong. But then one morning, the
soldiers on the beach, they looked up at the sky.
They're going to roll with planes, or they knew the English
Channel across this time, ships, thousands and thousands of ships
filling the sea, reinforces, backup was coming and arriving.
Tanks, artillery, aircraft, Thousands and thousands of
troops coming and arriving. And all of a sudden the tide
turned around and the same soldiers who prepared for
defeat, those soldiers lifted up their heads, lifted up their
courage. And I couldn't believe that
eyes, because reinforcements had come backed up, had come.
Courage flooded their hearts. The help they come, the help
they needed. And first, they were
overwhelmed. Is this real?
Can't this be happening? But those ships, when they hit
the shores and those soldiers, when they saw those pictures,
oh, they realized that charge began to rise.
Yes, help arrive. And those soldiers, yes, help
arrive. We thought we're going to die on
this speech on Normandy, on D that we thought this was the
end. But back up and back up arrived.
The soldiers came and said one moment they were preparing for
defeat. The next day were black by
power. They thought they're going to
die, but now they also reinforce.
And the weary became warriors again.
And so 1 Soldier wrote later. When we saw those ships, we knew
the tire to hope entered the battlefield.
That's what happens when Heaven's reinforcements arrive.
That's what happens when backup arrives.
Yes, we've got backup on the sea.
We are now the majority that matters.
We are now more than enough. Hell may have surrounded you.
Maybe pressure, maybe difficulty, maybe depression.
Whatever. Hell and difficulty surrounded
you. I'm here to tell you that God
has already surrounded it. When the presence of God grows
in, everything changes. The balance, the shift takes
place. The power of balance shifts in
your direction. When heaven starts rolling in,
when reinforcements went back up, come on the scene.
Hallelujah. And So what looks like the feet
becomes the start of breakthrough.
Yes, that's high turns when backup arrives.
And sometimes, yes, life feels difficult and heavy like your
own D-Day on Normandy. And you may have been you.
I thought I've like my body's tired.
I feel exhausted. I feel like I don't even I've
prayed, I've been studying, I've been believing.
And I don't know how much strength I still have got left
in my body. But yeah, the prophetic word of
the Lord for you today, you are back by heaven.
Heaven's reinforcements are coming back up is coming.
Church, you may have gone through a hard, difficult time.
I'm here to tell you as a sermon of God that back up is coming.
Reinforcements are coming. The ships of heaven, they are on
their way. Yes, they are coming.
The sound of deliverance is is rolling in.
Church help is on the way. I'm here to tell you, sent by
God to tell my church, help is on the way.
That's the prophetic word. Help this person and you think
and this is the thing because Elijah 7 at first only saw the
enemy's army in the natural understand the power of
perspective. Elijah 7 only saw the enemy's
army, not the back of you. That's I want you to get this.
He saw the army of the enemy, not the back.
Maybe you see the pressure and not the provision.
I'm here to tell you to look again.
I'm here to tell you to open us. Let God open your eyes.
Look again. Because heavens, Calvary is
coming. It's on the way.
Help is coming. It's on the way.
The same God we surrounded Elijah.
The same God we send the angels for Peter, for fighting for
Hagar, the disciples is sending help right now and the tide is
turning in your favour. It's telling somebody help is on
its way. The help that you need is on the
way. It's on the way.
Reinforcements are coming, backup is coming.
It's on my way now. D-Day Normandy, yes, that
changed history and that's right.
But Calvary changed eternity. The hill outside of Jerusalem on
that hill that was Hayden's Normandy.
When Jesus stole the pictures of hell and he plant the flag of
victory. Come on, somebody.
Yeah. That's what he did on the cross.
He conquered on the cross. When he died on the cross, yes.
And then when he rose, you're going to cut out limping.
When he rose, you come. He declare.
What did he declare? All authority on earth.
I didn't have it all. The all means all authority
inhibit. I don't have all authority
everywhere. There is no all authority has
been given to me. Everything is in the hand of
God. God's got you and he's sending
that up. Hallelujah.
You are his beloved child. He cares for you, He loves you.
Heaven is blacking you. I want you to keep that today
that you walked out of this place knowing you are
surrounded. You are the majority.
You are blacked by heaven. Almighty God, that's your
backup, that's your advantage, that is your yes.
So that means that when you walk into trouble difficulty,
whatever facing up, when you walk into a complex difficult
situation, know this heaven walks with you at work at the
office, wherever you go, whatever difficulty heaven walks
with you and know this that the almighty car is on your side.
This for you, this on your side. Always remember that is an
awesome. Always remember who is backing
you who's your back heaven is backing you and heaven is bigger
and you're the much idea you are back by head back.
Amen. Let's all stand together
probably be to God. I believe the Lord is speaking
this morning, Church. I really believe this is a word
from the Lord today. I sense in my support that God
is speaking to people here this morning and He's saying I am
surrounding what is surrounding you.
Now, whatever your situation, your difficult, your debris,
whatever your problem is, God is saying I am surrounding what is
surrounding you. Everybody's in a different
season of our lives, but whatever is surrounding you, God
is. And I hear the Spirit of the
Lord is saying reinforcements are coming, backup is coming.
Now if you felt difficult or you've been, you've seen closed
doors. God is saying I'm opening doors,
I'm making the way where you have felt alone, where you have
felt weak and struggling. God is saying I am releasing
angelic help into those areas. I'm releasing angelic heavenly
warriors. If it's a presence foul,
whatever the difficult, you've seen how God delivered pizza.
All things are possible. God can deliver and set you
free. And for some of you, I'm sensing
that there is a fresh wind blowing over your life.
You're going to feel a fresh breath of wind in your sails
again because the same spirit that raised Christ from the dead
and that breath of fresh air, it's a resurrection power is
being released. Now.
Every situation that seems dead, God is saying I'm resurrecting
it, I'm bringing it alive again. Whatever dead bone, broken
hearts, whatever. If you feel low in your faith, I
hear the Holy Ghost is saying the seeds is over.
The fear that is so meant to you, it's breaking.
Whatever fear and anxiety has been tormenting you, whatever
has been coming against you, it's breaking.
Whatever has been surrounding you, whatever enemy God is
saying, I'm surrounding that and it's breaking.
Just like I have surrounded Jericho.
Those walls going tumbling down. The spirit of fear, the spirit
of loneliness, the spirit of intimidation, it's breaking and
you are walking out of intimidation.
You are walking into authority. Authority because God is
working. God is for you somebody shout
out. So if you have been under
pressure, if you felt boxed in or fear has been loud, this is
your moment. Lift your hands.
If that is you, raise your hands where you are.
I'm going to pray over you right now.
And Father, I pray for every person with the rain's hands in
the name of Jesus. Lord, I thank you for your wrap
around presence. I thank you for your surrounding
presence. Father, I thank you that we are
not outnumbered. And right now, Lord, I pray open
up our eyes like Elijah. 7 Let your people see Chinese of fire,
oh Lord, let them see the angelic hosts, their help, the
fire over their homes, the protection over their children,
over their families. Break the eye of no Venus.
Break the spirit of fear, of fear of fighting.
Lord, release and Chenic reinforcements and Chenic
heavenly homies. Lord, reinforce right now,
release backup to every household, every home, every
marriage, every child, every family.
Turn every no into yes. Let the walls crumble.
Every terrigal wall, every wall of resistance, let it crumble
like terrigal walls. Law surround every person's
thoughts right now, every anxious mind surrounded with
peace, surrounded with calmness. Calm Anchorage Storm Lord play
open eyes like Hydra Lord. Show the refreshing water.
Show the wealth of refreshing. Show your people the miracles.
Show their open eyes. Let change fall off like Peter.
Let courage rise like David. Lord, surround your people in
the name of Jesus and we give you praise.
Somebody shout on anyone. Put your hand on your heart and
say out loud, I am surrounded by the most high God is for me.
Who can be against me? God's promises are Jason.
Amen. I am covered.
I am poor, I am Packer, I am fat.
My feather homicide and I am fat by Heather Come on John, I'm in
New York. Who is the gods that you have
thought that we already beat your God?
So before we close, I just need to give you an opportunity like
God. Also important question, if you
are not right with God, maybe you've drifted, maybe you've
never surrendered your life to Jesus.
This is your moment. Heaven is saying yes.
If you respond and you say yes, that's me.
Just put up your hand and say you want to be included in God's
family, you want to be part of God.
Is everyone born again, everyone's safe, everyone praise
God, Hallelujah. Thank you Jesus.
So right now when you walk out here today, I want you to
remember that you are surrounded by God, Hallelujah, you are
surrounded by Almighty God. So go into this week knowing
this truth that you are backed by heaven.
You have got that and I love what the populariser said.
More of those that are with us than those we are the majority.
We are on the winning team. Hallelujah.
Let's lift our eyes. Let's see things from heaven's
perspective. Yes, let's see how heaven sees
the victor. We are.
The winning team part is for us. And who can be against us like
this? For you Now, give God your best
shot on the. He's for you.
He's for you.
He's for you, not against you. He's for you.
The God who goes before you, behind you, beside you, all
around you, within you. He's with you.
He's for you.
