1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:04,560 We get to welcome Pastor Charlotte in just a moment, but 2 00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:07,920 I just wanted to share just a couple of things for those of 3 00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:12,840 you who don't know Charlotte and aren't familiar with who she is. 4 00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:16,040 We're, I'm about to introduce someone who's not only a 5 00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:20,120 powerful voice to the global church, but someone who has 6 00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:26,280 personally impacted my life in a deep, very deep and meaningful 7 00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:30,440 way. OK, Charlotte has just really 8 00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:33,640 impacted me in a, a deep and meaningful way. 9 00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:37,840 And there are some people who carry wisdom and authority and 10 00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:42,200 revelation, but when you meet them that you discover that they 11 00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:46,400 carry kindness, humility and genuine love for people. 12 00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:48,720 And that is who Charlotte Gamble is. 13 00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:52,960 For years, she has strengthened leaders and built the church. 14 00:00:53,160 --> 00:00:57,000 She's spoken life into women around the world, and she's 15 00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:01,400 helped people to step boldly into the call that they have on 16 00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:03,480 their life. But personally, she's been more 17 00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,920 than a speaker on a platform. She's been a mentor, a voice of 18 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:10,840 encouragement, a true friend through the years into this 19 00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:13,440 House. And I really believe it today is 20 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:16,360 significant. We've been praying for this day 21 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:18,920 and this session. And I don't think Pastor 22 00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:22,400 Charlotte here by accident. There is something God wants to 23 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:26,960 speak across this room today. So let's have open hearts. 24 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,560 And with the biggest sisterhood welcome. 25 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:44,920 Would you welcome Pastor so good to be with you. 26 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:46,880 I'm going to keep you on your feet just for a second. 27 00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:51,040 We're going to pray in a moment. I know God is already moving in 28 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:54,560 this place, already did incredible things last night as 29 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,800 you gathered and Pastor Sarah LED you in the word about 30 00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:00,160 legacy. And I'm so thankful to have the 31 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,240 opportunity to add my voice to what God is doing. 32 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:08,479 But I so sensed in my heart, just even last night when I got 33 00:02:08,479 --> 00:02:12,160 in later and I was in my hotel room, I just so sensed today, 34 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:16,000 today's the day for some of you to receive a miracle that is 35 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,440 long overdue. Like like I need you to. 36 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:25,040 I need you to lift your expectation. 37 00:02:25,920 --> 00:02:29,000 I don't know how else to say it, but I need to grab the 38 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:33,000 atmosphere right now, as awesome as this is, but I wish I could 39 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:37,280 come to every single one of you and grab you by your cheeks and 40 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:40,440 just say, girl, do you know who's in the room? 41 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,760 I, I, I think we forget because we come to a conference and we 42 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:49,800 gather with our friends and I think it's so easy to just do 43 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:54,720 business as usual and we forget that actually in the room, not 44 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,360 just our girlfriends are in the room, not just other sisters are 45 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,560 in the room, but the King of Kings is in the room. 46 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,600 And I'm just trying to get you to be aware for a moment. 47 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:10,320 Just need you to be aware for a moment because if if in the next 48 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:17,720 few seconds Jesus walked down the aisle, like he literally 49 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:22,280 walked down the aisle, brushed past your arm on his way to the 50 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,720 front to talk to the crowd that were gathered. 51 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:28,440 If he literally just came down by the seat where you were sat, 52 00:03:28,640 --> 00:03:33,160 I know something inside you would shift because you suddenly 53 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:37,600 saw who was in the room and all of a sudden, whatever you came 54 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:39,640 here struggling with, you would realise. 55 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,800 I don't know why I'm struggling because the answer just showed 56 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:44,800 up. Whatever you were dealing with, 57 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:48,200 or any depression you were battling or any anxiety you were 58 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:51,280 feeling, suddenly it would be silence because you just 59 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:55,560 realised you brushed past your arm as they walked in the room. 60 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:59,080 And though there's not a physical Jesus walking down the 61 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:03,240 aisle, brushing past your arm, He's right here, right now, in 62 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,040 every single row, every single aisle. 63 00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:10,880 He's right here, which means our expectations should be no less. 64 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:15,160 And I don't want to leave the way I came. 65 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,440 And I don't want you to miss a thing. 66 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,640 And I know in these next few moments, as God speaks to you, 67 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:24,880 He's not just wanting to speak to you. 68 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:26,800 He's wanting to impart something to you. 69 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:30,680 In fact, when I finish speaking the word that God has given me, 70 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:34,040 I'm going to open the altar down here and I'm going to extend to 71 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:37,680 you the opportunity that need to to actually physically walk to 72 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,520 the front to actually have a moment of engagement. 73 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,960 And I'm telling you that upfront so that when we get there, you 74 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:47,840 don't hesitate, you don't delay. But just like the woman with the 75 00:04:47,840 --> 00:04:50,960 issue of blood, you like whatever it takes, I'm getting 76 00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:54,440 what God has for me today. Whatever it takes, I'm going to 77 00:04:54,440 --> 00:05:00,080 push through today. So God, we stand in your 78 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:05,320 presence. We just take a moment to 79 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:11,280 acknowledge the fact that we're standing in your presence. 80 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,200 This is not just an arena that we're in. 81 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:22,520 It is a meeting room with the King of Kings and you do not see 82 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:27,760 a crowd. You see every single individual 83 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:33,080 and you do not come to do something that is generic as 84 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:39,880 much as you come to do something that is specific and God. 85 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:47,560 There's only one that can take a word and break it into pieces 86 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,760 that feed each one of your daughters individually. 87 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:56,560 It is only by your spirit to God you can take something that 88 00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:00,200 feels so big but make it so intimate and small. 89 00:06:01,840 --> 00:06:07,080 So God, I pray in these next few moments that your word would do 90 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,400 just that. That as it goes forth into the 91 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:14,280 atmosphere, it would be so specific to every woman. 92 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,800 It will be so on time to every situation. 93 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:22,480 It will be so clear to every chaotic place that people are in 94 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,120 right now. It will be so much light into 95 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:28,000 the darkness. God, I pray today that the word 96 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,160 would be like an arrow piercing through the darkness. 97 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:36,080 And I pray today, God, that with your word comes signs and 98 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,560 wonders. I pray today God that there will 99 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:42,240 to be miracles in this atmosphere that we get pregnant 100 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,560 with today. I pray today God for 101 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,120 breakthrough. I pray today for setting of 102 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:50,160 three of people. I pray today that you would do 103 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:53,520 something so spectacular and supernatural. 104 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:58,680 All we can say is God it is all because of you God. 105 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:00,760 I pray as always I would get out of the way. 106 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:08,680 Holy Spirit, have your way in Jesus name, Amen. 107 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:18,370 You may take your seats. I honestly feel in my heart 108 00:07:18,370 --> 00:07:23,010 today that God wants to hand something to you that is long 109 00:07:23,010 --> 00:07:26,050 overdue. That there are some things that 110 00:07:26,050 --> 00:07:30,210 you have even forgotten that actually God has not forgotten, 111 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:34,320 that actually are due to you because God is a God that wants 112 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:37,240 to do a miracle in you. Some of the miracles that you've 113 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:41,080 even forgotten about or even have stopped praying for. 114 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:47,000 Today I want to show you just how good God is, how much he 115 00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:49,560 loves you. If you're in any doubt today 116 00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,960 about the goodness of God, I pray that in these next few 117 00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:57,800 moments your eyes would be open to just how good God is and how 118 00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:01,880 much good He wants to do in and through you. 119 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:06,480 I want today to talk to you about the completeness that God 120 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:10,360 has for your life. I feel like so often on this 121 00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:15,160 journey with God, I meet people. I interact with people who are 122 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:19,840 not walking in the fullness of all that God has for them. 123 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:23,960 They're not walking in the completeness of all that God has 124 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:25,880 for them. And I don't know why. 125 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:30,640 I think maybe we just settle for a level of God that we feel is 126 00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:33,200 good enough. But today I don't want you to 127 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:37,679 settle for anything less than the more than enough that God 128 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:39,640 has for your life. Today. 129 00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:43,200 I want to stretch your mind. I want to expand your heart. 130 00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:46,920 I want to challenge your dream. I want to ask you, why do you 131 00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:51,160 believe so little when you serve the God who spins planets off 132 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:54,120 his fingertips? I need your mind and your heart 133 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,480 expanded. For we are called to be the 134 00:08:56,480 --> 00:09:00,240 daughters of the King of kings. And if you're a daughter of the 135 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,840 King of kings, you should not be praying small prayers. 136 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:07,760 If you're daughter of the one that created the heavens and the 137 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:11,400 earth, you should not be believing for such little things 138 00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:15,400 in your life when God has more for us. 139 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:19,200 God does not want to do something partial in your life. 140 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,160 God doesn't want to make you a little bit better. 141 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:25,880 God doesn't want to provide a little for you when He is the 142 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:29,080 God of more than you can ask or imagine. 143 00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:33,120 But meet so many people that are living in a way as if God is 144 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:38,240 short, as if he can't afford to bless you, as if he doesn't have 145 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:40,960 enough to breakthrough in your circumstance. 146 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,840 And I know the problem is not on God's end. 147 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,160 So the problem must be on our end. 148 00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:51,360 But God is a God of fullness. He is a God of completeness. 149 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:58,200 Colossians 2 verse 9 says for in Christ lives all the fullness of 150 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:03,600 God in a human body. So you also are complete through 151 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:09,240 your union with Christ, who is the head over every ruler and 152 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:12,920 authority. You are complete in Christ one 153 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,800 Peter 5 verse 10. After you've suffered a little 154 00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:21,960 while, the God of all grace, who imparts blessing and favor, who 155 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:27,400 called you to his own eternal glory in Christ, will Himself 156 00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:33,440 complete, confirm, strengthen, and establish you, making you 157 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:38,000 what you ought to be. There is a completeness in 158 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,840 Christ. There is a fulfillment in 159 00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,720 Christ. There is a strength in Christ, 160 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:47,080 and He wants to establish that in you today. 161 00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:50,520 I don't know what he's missing from your life. 162 00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:54,520 I don't know what he's lacking in your life. 163 00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:58,240 I sensed in the worship, just when I was standing there, I saw 164 00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:03,920 a picture of a jigsaw puzzle and a frustrated person trying to do 165 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:06,800 the puzzle, but they couldn't complete it because there were 166 00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,920 some pieces missing. And I feel like there are some 167 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:13,720 pieces missing that God wants to give you today because you don't 168 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:17,760 have to leave here with an incomplete picture, don't have 169 00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:19,800 to leave here with an incomplete faith. 170 00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,880 You don't have to leave here with an incomplete belief 171 00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:26,040 system. God wants to complete you. 172 00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:35,120 A little while ago, my son, who is now 20, he came home and he'd 173 00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:37,480 realized, you know, I want to pick up a little extra cash, a 174 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:40,200 little extra money. So he'd realized that now where 175 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:43,120 we live in Alabama, because I now live in Alabama. 176 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:46,080 Y'all never thought I would say that, but I do. 177 00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:50,800 And and so he, he, he realized I need some more cash. 178 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:54,160 I also like to play golf and so he's smart. 179 00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:57,520 He figured out if I pick up a couple of shifts at the best 180 00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:01,440 Golf Club in Alabama, not only will I get a little extra cash, 181 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:03,760 but I get to play for free on Mondays. 182 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,560 Smart boy. So he took a little shift at the 183 00:12:06,560 --> 00:12:11,280 Golf Club, comes home, announces to me on Wednesday evening that 184 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:15,720 he has got this shift at the Golf Club and his first job day 185 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:19,320 of hours will be Friday morning. And he's letting me know on 186 00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:21,760 Wednesday evening because he needs a uniform. 187 00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:25,880 By Friday morning he might be 20, but he still needs his Mama. 188 00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:29,800 You know what I'm saying? So I do what all good Mamas do. 189 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:34,600 I go to Amazon and like Amazon is my friend right now and like 190 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,600 what do you need son? I need this color short and they 191 00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:39,800 need to be this length. And so I go on Amazon. 192 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:42,320 I'm like I'm going to get 2 pairs because I don't want to 193 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:45,040 get one in case he loses them. And so I get on there. 194 00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:46,840 It says he'll be here in 24 hours. 195 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:50,160 Perfect. Put the order in 24 hours later. 196 00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:54,600 This is Thursday afternoon. Just in time the Amazon arrival 197 00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:57,160 comes to our post box. I bring it in the house. 198 00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:59,760 I'm like no, I got your shorts. We're sorted. 199 00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,680 I open the packet. I take out the pair of shorts. 200 00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:05,600 First pair of shorts, exactly what I ordered. 201 00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:10,720 Take out the second pair of shorts, and to my horror, they 202 00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,920 are not the same pair of shorts that I ordered. 203 00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:17,560 In fact, these are someone's dirty shorts. 204 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:24,680 They're kind of the sort of the same colour, but clearly someone 205 00:13:24,680 --> 00:13:28,120 was packing my order. Looked at the two pairs of 206 00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:33,120 shorts, looked at their own dirty shorts so she'll never 207 00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:35,880 know. Whipped their shorts off, put 208 00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:40,360 them in the packet, put my paid for shorts on and sent me the 209 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:43,480 two pairs of shorts. So I'm looking at this order. 210 00:13:43,560 --> 00:13:46,560 Brand new pair, dirty pair of khaki shorts. 211 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:50,320 I'm like horrified. And so I decide, what in the 212 00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:52,720 world is this? This is not right. 213 00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,960 I paid for two pairs of shorts. This is not right. 214 00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:57,800 I don't want someone's old shorts. 215 00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:02,200 So I decide to do what no human should ever decide to do, which 216 00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:05,920 is take on Amazon. I'm like, I'm taking Amazon on. 217 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:09,320 I'm not putting up this or this. So I go online and it tells you, 218 00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:12,040 you know, all you do is put them in the post, send them back to 219 00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:13,880 me. We'll refund you when we get 220 00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:15,920 them. Go to UPS, get the label. 221 00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:17,840 I'm like, I don't have time for that. 222 00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:20,760 This isn't my fault. I ain't got time in my calendar 223 00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,000 to drive to UPS because you made a mistake. 224 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:26,040 I ain't got time to spend my gas money driving around town to 225 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,520 send your shorts back. I don't think so, Amazon. 226 00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:31,840 This is not good enough. So I tried to bypass the 227 00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:35,520 automated system and I persevered and I persevered 228 00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:38,720 until I got an actual cell phone number, a phone number. 229 00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:42,440 I call the number and I get past all of the people that are on 230 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:45,440 the computer system and finally get a human being and I say, 231 00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:48,480 listen, do not hang up on me. I have an issue. 232 00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:52,960 I'm a good customer, but I have someone's dirty shorts in my 233 00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:56,880 kitchen right now and I am not willing to drive to UPS to send 234 00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:59,280 you back someone's shorts that I don't particularly want to touch 235 00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:02,280 anymore. I need you to send me the shorts 236 00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:06,080 that I have paid for and I need you to come and pick up these 237 00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:09,000 shorts that I do not want in my home anymore. 238 00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:12,600 I need you to do what you need to do to sort that out for me 239 00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:15,680 because I'm not driving around to make up for your mistake. 240 00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:21,640 And the lady on the phone says, well, ma'am, we don't do that, 241 00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:25,800 but I'm a little scared of you, so we will do that. 242 00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:34,160 And within the next 24 hours, there was a person at my house 243 00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:38,000 taking The Dirty shorts back, giving me the new shots. 244 00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:48,160 And afterwards, I thought to myself, I had a Holy Spirit 245 00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:52,640 conviction because I felt God challenged me and say, 246 00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:58,720 Charlotte, are you as determined as you were with Amazon to get 247 00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:02,920 all that I have promised you? Or were you willing to live with 248 00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:06,760 half of an order because you can't be bothered to have the 249 00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:10,880 tenacity to get everything that my son paid for on the cross? 250 00:16:16,930 --> 00:16:20,160 And I don't know about you, but that challenged me because I 251 00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:22,440 realized, wow, I do have tenacity. 252 00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:25,920 And when I actually want to, I can actually be quite strong 253 00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:28,840 about something that I feel I have been wronged in. 254 00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:32,840 And I am putting all my energy into getting back a pair of 255 00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:36,520 shorts that make no eternal difference to my life. 256 00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:38,960 But I'm letting the enemy steal my peace. 257 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:41,400 I'm letting the enemy take my joy. 258 00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:44,240 I'm letting the enemy RIP me off in my family. 259 00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:46,840 I'm letting the enemy put anxiety on me. 260 00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:50,480 I'm letting the enemy make me feel overwhelmed and overcome 261 00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:55,920 when I have been paid for, when Christ paid the full price for 262 00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:58,480 everything that I would ever face. 263 00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:01,040 And yet I'm not going for the full order. 264 00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:05,359 And that's why I began by saying some of you are going to have to 265 00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:08,880 get a little shaken up today because you've settled for far 266 00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:12,920 less than God paid for. You've settled for far less than 267 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:16,319 what he sent his Son to pay the highest price for. 268 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:21,319 And today I want to rattle you in a Holy Spirit way to remind 269 00:17:21,319 --> 00:17:24,880 you, you've got to get some tenacity back in your spirit, 270 00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:29,640 woman of God, because the enemy came to kill, steal and destroy. 271 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:33,760 And if you are laid back in one moment of your life, he will 272 00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:37,920 take all the opportunity he can to make sure he steals from you, 273 00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:41,560 He kills something in you and he destroys something of your 274 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:45,320 legacy that God has for you. So we need to rise up. 275 00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:51,760 We need to wake up because for every move the enemy made, God 276 00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:55,360 made a counter move. For everything he planned to do, 277 00:17:55,360 --> 00:17:59,080 God already covered the counter move that what he would do. 278 00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:03,320 So where he came to kill, God sent his son to resurrect. 279 00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:07,080 Where he came to steal, God sent his son to restore. 280 00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:10,720 Where he came to destroy, God said, I'll give you restitution 281 00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:13,240 for everything that has been destroyed. 282 00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:17,000 And I just wonder today, who needs a little resurrection? 283 00:18:17,120 --> 00:18:20,640 Who needs a little restoration? Who needs a little restitution 284 00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:23,960 from some things that the enemy does not get to keep in your 285 00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:28,840 life? So I want to take you to a story 286 00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:33,240 in the Bible where there's a woman that desperately needs, 287 00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:37,520 she needs a miracle, but she doesn't just need a miracle. 288 00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,400 She actually needs some things restoring to her. 289 00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:44,320 She actually needs some things raising back to life for her. 290 00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:48,880 She actually needs some things in her future being paid back to 291 00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:52,040 her. And Jesus in this story comes 292 00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:55,760 and He takes care not just of the present need, but He takes 293 00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:58,960 care of her past, her present, and her future. 294 00:18:59,120 --> 00:19:02,920 And God today is well able to take care of your present need, 295 00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:05,680 but He's also able to take care of your past pain. 296 00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:08,840 He's also able to take care of your future promises. 297 00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:12,760 He's able to do all of it. So why reduce him to just one 298 00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:18,720 part of it? This story gripped my heart 299 00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:24,160 recently and it's maybe a story that you have heard before, but 300 00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:27,880 maybe you've never looked at it through this lens because it's a 301 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:31,440 story of a miracle. And often we preach the miracle. 302 00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:35,240 We get excited about the miracle, and the miracle is 303 00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:38,800 awesome, but there's way more than just one miracle happening 304 00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:42,360 in this story. Whenever Jesus did anything, he 305 00:19:42,360 --> 00:19:46,160 was always doing something that had multiple layers of 306 00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:49,320 breakthrough in it. He wasn't just delivering a man 307 00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:52,400 from a demon, He was setting him free for his future. 308 00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:55,760 He wasn't just healing a sick person, He was leading them into 309 00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:59,280 their eternal destination. He wasn't just opening a blind 310 00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:02,640 eye, He was restoring an entire man's life and future. 311 00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:05,840 Jesus was not just. Touching in one moment one 312 00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:08,840 thing, he was touching in that moment everything. 313 00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:18,320 In Luke 7, Jesus enters a village called Nain says in 314 00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:21,400 verse 11. Soon afterward, Jesus went with 315 00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:25,560 his disciples to the village of Nain, and a large crowd followed 316 00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:29,080 him. A funeral procession was coming 317 00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:31,600 out as he approached the village gate. 318 00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:36,840 The young man who had died was a widow's only son, and a large 319 00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:38,440 crowd from the village was with her. 320 00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:43,120 When the Lord saw her, his heart overflowed with compassion. 321 00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:46,640 Don't cry, he said. Then he walked over to the 322 00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:49,480 coffin and touched it, and the bearer stopped. 323 00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:51,920 Young man, he said, I tell you, get up. 324 00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:56,320 Then the dead boy sat up and began to talk, and Jesus gave 325 00:20:56,320 --> 00:21:01,200 him back to his mother. This is an incredible moment 326 00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:05,960 that we read of in scripture where Jesus literally brings a 327 00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:10,200 dead boy back to life. But I want for a few moments to 328 00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:13,760 unpack everything that is happening in this story. 329 00:21:14,360 --> 00:21:18,280 Because actually this story does not begin with the dead boy. 330 00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:24,680 It begins with the woman. And today I want you to know you 331 00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:29,440 might have come here with a dead issue, but the healing's not 332 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:31,800 going to begin with the dead issue. 333 00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:36,880 It's going to begin with the woman who has the dead issue 334 00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:40,840 because God is a God of completeness. 335 00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:45,400 Watch what happens. There's a huge funeral 336 00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:48,400 procession. There's a large crowd that are 337 00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:51,240 gathered. There's a dead body that has 338 00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:56,680 been carried on a stretcher. But in verse 13, here's what 339 00:21:56,680 --> 00:22:04,280 begins to happen. It says when the Lord saw her, 340 00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:12,360 wait a minute, there's a crowd, there's a funeral procession, 341 00:22:13,120 --> 00:22:18,000 there's a dead body. But the first thing his eyes are 342 00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:22,360 drawn to is none of that, but they're drawn to her. 343 00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:29,920 And at the sight of her, it says his heart overflowed with 344 00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:33,280 compassion. You know, compassion. 345 00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:36,440 The word there, it comes from a root word in the Greek called 346 00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:41,120 splanks, and that it literally means the inward parts of your 347 00:22:41,120 --> 00:22:44,080 gut, your deepest place of emotion. 348 00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:48,720 This was a gut level feeling that Jesus had for this woman's 349 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:51,400 suffering. This was not that Jesus saw her 350 00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:55,120 and felt a little sorry for her. This was when Jesus saw her, 351 00:22:55,120 --> 00:22:59,600 something in the inside of him was absolutely moved to do 352 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:03,640 something for this woman. I want you to know today that 353 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:09,760 God sees you, and as He sees you, his heart is moved from his 354 00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:13,680 very innermost being with compassion towards you. 355 00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:17,120 See, He saw what no one else seemed to see. 356 00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:21,480 He saw the burden that this woman had been living with for 357 00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:26,120 possibly years. She was a widow, so she was the 358 00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:29,600 only one apart from this boy in her family. 359 00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:33,480 And I don't know how long he had been sick and I don't know how 360 00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:38,360 frail he had become, but Jesus saw that this woman, this 361 00:23:38,360 --> 00:23:43,080 mother, this single parent had carried the burden of that boy's 362 00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:47,360 sickness for a long time. He saw on her face the 363 00:23:47,360 --> 00:23:49,920 weariness. He saw on her face the 364 00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:53,000 disappointment. He saw in her spirit and her 365 00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:56,480 soul how she she was aching and she was desperate. 366 00:23:56,720 --> 00:24:01,320 So often we come to events like this and we're coming because we 367 00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:03,520 have a dead thing we want God to touch. 368 00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:07,000 But God's not going to touch the dead thing until He first 369 00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:11,200 touches you, because why would He give you something back when 370 00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:13,600 you're not even in a fit state to hold it? 371 00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:20,160 Some of you are in this room and you are the carer of elderly 372 00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:25,800 parents and you're exhausted. You didn't plan for it, but it's 373 00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:30,640 where you find yourself in life, constantly caring, constantly 374 00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:33,360 doing errands, constantly taking care of things. 375 00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:35,480 You have that. And then you also have your 376 00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:38,960 children that constantly have needs and constantly have things 377 00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:41,960 that you have to take care of. Some of you are in here and 378 00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:44,960 you've got children that are wayward and they're living a 379 00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:48,920 life that is far from God. And it keeps you up every night 380 00:24:49,120 --> 00:24:53,400 and it eats away at your soul and it causes you to cry tears 381 00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:56,840 that no one else sees. And the ache in your body and 382 00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:59,720 the ache in your soul is overwhelming. 383 00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:04,320 Yet we come for prayer for our son or we come for prayer for 384 00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:06,960 our daughter. But because God is a complete 385 00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:10,760 God, he's like, I'll talk to you about that in a moment, but the 386 00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:13,240 first thing I want to talk to you about is you. 387 00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:17,200 You're living. You're living in a way that is 388 00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:20,080 incomplete. You're living in a way that is 389 00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:22,680 worn out. You're living in a way that is 390 00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:26,760 so tired and weary. You're living a life that is so 391 00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:30,280 disappointed. Why would I heal what's dead and 392 00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:32,520 not touch the one that's carried the dead? 393 00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:36,920 Why would I heal the body and not touch the one that's prayed 394 00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:40,120 and believed for that body? Why would I do a miracle in 395 00:25:40,120 --> 00:25:43,440 their addiction and not do a miracle in your weariness and 396 00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:46,640 depletion? God is a God of completeness. 397 00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:51,080 And I don't know what corpse you brought to the conference. 398 00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:55,320 We'll get to the cops. But in this moment, I want you 399 00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:59,840 to know he sees you. He sees you. 400 00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:05,440 He saw this woman. He sees you that has prayed 401 00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:08,600 endlessly. He sees you that has gone 402 00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:10,760 without so someone else can go with. 403 00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:15,040 He sees you that's lived with that abusive marriage. 404 00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:18,680 He sees you that's dealt with the betrayal. 405 00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:23,600 He sees you that has tried to pick yourself up 1000 times to 406 00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:27,320 carry on for those that rely upon you, them never knowing the 407 00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:34,360 cost it has been to you. He sees you, He sees you woman 408 00:26:34,360 --> 00:26:39,080 of God, weary from the battle, He sees you. 409 00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:44,760 He says, Jesus, even though there was a lot of things to 410 00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:53,800 gain his attention, saw her and he said to her, don't cry. 411 00:26:57,120 --> 00:27:01,760 Like I know you're exhausted. I know this has cost you a lot, 412 00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:06,360 but in this moment I need you to know I didn't just come for him, 413 00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:10,760 I came for you. I want to send you home, not 414 00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:15,360 depleted, but completed. I want to send you home, not 415 00:27:15,360 --> 00:27:19,400 weary, but refreshed. I want to send you home with a 416 00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:23,400 complete restoration. Some of you today need a 417 00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:27,720 complete restoration. You need to hear the words from 418 00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:29,960 his mouth. Don't cry. 419 00:27:30,120 --> 00:27:31,880 You need to hear the words from his mouth. 420 00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:35,840 Don't be anxious. You need to let him restore you 421 00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:38,320 before he talks to you about anything else. 422 00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:43,200 You want restoring. In Psalm 23, David writes, he 423 00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:50,920 refreshes my soul, He guides me along the right path for his 424 00:27:51,120 --> 00:27:54,760 namesake. And even though I walk through 425 00:27:54,760 --> 00:28:00,880 the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me. 426 00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:04,480 Your rod and your staff, they comfort me. 427 00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:07,840 He had a revelation. God, I know You want to help me 428 00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:10,920 win the battle, but more than win the battle, You want to help 429 00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:13,480 me win. You want to restore me. 430 00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:15,720 You want to help me walk through the valley. 431 00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:20,040 You want to be with me in those times that feel pressing and 432 00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:23,480 feel oppressing. Isaiah 26 verse three. 433 00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:30,040 You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast 434 00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:33,480 because they trust in You. I'm not. 435 00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:36,440 I don't know what your peace looks like, but I have a feeling 436 00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:39,840 it's not perfect. I have a feeling some of you 437 00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:43,240 have an incomplete peace. I have a feeling that some of 438 00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:47,280 your peace is way more fragile than it should be and all it 439 00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:50,800 takes is a circumstance to happen and your peace begins to 440 00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:51,800 crumble. Why? 441 00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:53,680 Because your peace is not complete. 442 00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:57,960 But the Bible says there's a peace that passes understanding, 443 00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:00,840 which means no matter what happens, your peace stays 444 00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:03,480 complete. No matter who flakes out on you, 445 00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:07,280 your peace stays strong in you. No matter what they say, your 446 00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:11,640 peace remains God's like I need you woman of God to get a 447 00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:15,920 complete peace. Stop having a part time peace, a 448 00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:20,800 partial peace, a circumstantial peace, a peace for conference. 449 00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:24,040 But then a crisis when you get home steals your peace. 450 00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:28,960 Now do you have a complete peace, perfect peace. 451 00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:33,440 That word perfect peace in the Hebrew, in Isaiah, it literally 452 00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:35,360 means Shalom. Shalom. 453 00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:38,200 And that means there's nothing missing. 454 00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:42,720 There is nothing broken, everything is complete. 455 00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:45,560 Do you have shalam? Shalam, do you have a piece 456 00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:48,720 where there's nothing missing and there's nothing broken 457 00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:51,800 because it is fully complete in him? 458 00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:56,880 I don't know today where this finds you, but I know some of 459 00:29:56,880 --> 00:30:00,680 you have settled for partial like I was gonna with my Amazon 460 00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:02,680 order. And God's like, girl, I need you 461 00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:06,560 to get something inside of your gut today that says I'm not 462 00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:10,040 living with partial any longer. When I serve a God of 463 00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:14,440 completeness, some of you have partial joy. 464 00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:21,560 The Bible says in John 15, it says my joy and delight are 465 00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:25,720 going to be complete in you, that your joy may be made full 466 00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:29,000 and complete and overflowing. I know that. 467 00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:32,120 I know some of you don't even know what that sounds like. 468 00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:37,240 You can't even remember the last time your joy was overflowing. 469 00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:44,000 There's a joy in God that is not dependent on anything or anyone. 470 00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:46,080 It's in Him. And that joy? 471 00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:50,360 You have access to it 24/7. And I know it sounds strange 472 00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:53,640 when you're living in a time that feels anything but joyful, 473 00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:59,120 but there is a way to access joy outside of the way humans in the 474 00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:02,640 world without God access joy. We don't need everything to be 475 00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:05,440 right to find a joy that will complete us. 476 00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:09,360 And I just wonder who settled for a joy that is based on 477 00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:12,760 whether our life looks good, feels good, sounds good. 478 00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:15,440 That is not the joy that the Bible's talking about. 479 00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:21,240 How in the world can you be facing a crucifixion on a cross 480 00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:27,920 and say the words for the joy set before me that tells me 481 00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:32,800 there's a joy that overwhelms the hardest moments in our life 482 00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:36,080 that we could ever face. For in his moment of absolute 483 00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:39,040 pain, he saw something of absolute joy. 484 00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:45,120 What would it look like if you got your piece back? 485 00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:49,400 What would it look like if you got your joy back? 486 00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:52,200 You know why the enemy doesn't want you to get your joy back? 487 00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:55,320 Because he knows what the Bible says about your joy, that the 488 00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:57,920 joy of the Lord is your strength. 489 00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:00,560 And he's quite happy for you to stay weak. 490 00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:03,800 And I mean this with all the love in my heart. 491 00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:09,440 Some of you are weak women and I'm just saying it to you 492 00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:13,760 because I'm your friend. It's there's a weakness in you, 493 00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:18,920 but the Bible says that those that are weak, he's going to 494 00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:22,720 make strong, that in your weakness, he's going to make the 495 00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:25,880 strength come through in you. And some of you need to stop 496 00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:30,240 excusing your weakness and start getting mad with the enemy about 497 00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:32,760 the fact that you're living in a way that does not reflect what 498 00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:34,120 God says you should be living in. 499 00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:38,480 I know things can happen and they make us feel weak. 500 00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:42,880 I know circumstances can happen and they make us feel depleted. 501 00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:46,320 I know like this woman, there can be moments where we carry 502 00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:49,600 burdens as women and it just feels like no one else seems to 503 00:32:49,600 --> 00:33:00,680 carry the way we do. But Jesus saw her, He sees you, 504 00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:10,440 and he says, hey, are we done? Do you want to live in this 505 00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:14,600 moment, or do you want to recognize who's in this moment? 506 00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:22,360 Do you want to be overwhelmed by the situation, or do you want to 507 00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:32,390 be overwhelmed by the solution? Then he moves on to the body, 508 00:33:34,150 --> 00:33:38,630 because if he can restore you now, he can resurrect the thing 509 00:33:38,630 --> 00:33:44,550 you brought to him. So now he goes to the body. 510 00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:49,720 And by the way, when she saw Jesus, she didn't even mention 511 00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:53,200 the body. Because I think there comes a 512 00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:58,440 point where we feel it's so far gone, what's the point in even 513 00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:02,520 mentioning it anymore? Like some of you came to 514 00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:04,440 conference and you're like, I don't want to talk about it 515 00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:07,440 anymore. I just want to pretend for 48 516 00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:10,080 hours that that situation isn't happening in my life. 517 00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:11,880 I'm just going to pretend it's not there. 518 00:34:12,159 --> 00:34:14,840 But that's not going to help you move forward and it's not going 519 00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:16,880 to help you find the victory that God has for you. 520 00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:19,040 God's not asking you to ignore the body. 521 00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:20,679 He's saying, I, I want to fix you. 522 00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:22,120 And then we're going to move to this. 523 00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:27,199 But she doesn't even say. She doesn't grab him and say, 524 00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:30,679 Jesus, would you raise from the dead my son? 525 00:34:30,679 --> 00:34:36,679 She doesn't even have the energy to ask anymore, and some of you 526 00:34:36,679 --> 00:34:40,880 don't even have the energy to ask anymore because I asked 527 00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:44,440 before God. Nothing changed and I came 528 00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:47,320 before God and I feel like nothing shifted. 529 00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:52,400 And some of you have come here and you're the woman and you're 530 00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:55,560 weary, but you also came here with the dead thing like she 531 00:34:55,560 --> 00:35:01,040 did. But we serve a God. 532 00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:10,360 The dead's just not an issue. Dead's not a final statement. 533 00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:15,480 Dead's just another situation. He does dead just like he does 534 00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:17,680 depressed. He does dead just like he does 535 00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:19,640 sad. He's just dead just like he does 536 00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:22,040 anxiety. God doesn't have a scale of hard 537 00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:25,960 things. Some of you have got a scale of 538 00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:28,000 hard things. Well, this is so hard, God. 539 00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:30,840 This is just so hard, God. It's like it's only hard because 540 00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:35,560 you keep saying it's hard. This is not too difficult for 541 00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:39,120 me, but right now it seems to be due too difficult for you. 542 00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:48,080 So he walks up to the body, the thing she's not even mentioned 543 00:35:52,200 --> 00:36:00,400 and he touches the body and he says to the boy young man, get 544 00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:05,880 up and the dead boy, he sits right the way up and I love this 545 00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:10,960 next line and he began to talk. In other words, this is not a 546 00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:15,280 partial restoration. This is a full resurrection. 547 00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:17,560 This is not it got a little bit better. 548 00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:21,240 This is he got up and he began to talk like he did before he 549 00:36:21,240 --> 00:36:23,720 was sick. This was a full resurrection 550 00:36:23,720 --> 00:36:25,760 moment. And some of you brought the body 551 00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:29,040 of your marriage and the body of your dream and the body of your 552 00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:30,960 disappointment. And you're like, if I could just 553 00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:34,040 get a little bit better over conference God, that would be 554 00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:35,560 enough. God's like, well, if that's all 555 00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:37,000 you want, that's all you're going to get. 556 00:36:37,720 --> 00:36:41,200 Or you could have a full resurrection where the body sits 557 00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:44,280 up and starts talking again. It's up to you. 558 00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:51,640 Oh God, if you could make my marriage a little bit better. 559 00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:57,520 God's like, really, if it could just get a little bit sweeter, 560 00:36:57,520 --> 00:37:00,680 if it could just get a little less hard, if my finances could 561 00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:03,640 just get a little breakthrough. God, if you could just help me a 562 00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:06,920 little in this area. And we begin to bring God down 563 00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:15,520 to the level of our settledness. And I challenge you today to 564 00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:17,400 start to pray some bigger prayers. 565 00:37:18,240 --> 00:37:21,040 I challenge you today to start to believe for some 566 00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:24,960 resurrections in places that you've even stopped asking God 567 00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:27,920 for a resurrection. I challenge you today to get 568 00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:31,240 back what the enemy has stolen from your life and say, I'm not 569 00:37:31,240 --> 00:37:32,960 going to be a weak woman anymore. 570 00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:36,000 I'm going to stand up in the name of Jesus. 571 00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:48,240 I got a Mother's Day card early from my kids because they knew I 572 00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:51,960 would be away and I should probably shouldn't say the word 573 00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:55,400 that my son put in the card, but he wrote lots of really sweet 574 00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:56,760 things. But then he wrote this line. 575 00:37:56,800 --> 00:38:06,720 Thanks mom, for being a bad. I was like, son, what do you 576 00:38:06,720 --> 00:38:09,120 mean by that? He goes, I just know you're 577 00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:10,880 going to take it down if it comes for us. 578 00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:13,560 I just know you're going to run through the wall if it gets put 579 00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:15,480 up. I just know if things get bad, 580 00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:17,520 you ain't going to settle. You're going to go further than 581 00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:19,600 the bad. And you've just taught me I 582 00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:27,200 don't need to settle. And some of your children need 583 00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:32,360 to see the same in you because where you settle becomes the 584 00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:36,160 level under which they settle. And what you say is good enough 585 00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:39,080 becomes the level under which they say it's enough. 586 00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:42,400 And we've got to get back into the fight, women of God. 587 00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:45,520 And we've got to realise, no, I'm not settling for half of a 588 00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:47,880 good marriage and I'm not settling for half of the 589 00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:51,320 addiction cured and all selling for a little bit of healing in 590 00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:53,400 my body. And I'm not selling for a small 591 00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:56,080 bit of the cancer gone. I'm not settling for the 592 00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:58,120 addiction to be kind of under control. 593 00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:01,160 I'm not selling for my finances to be a little bit better. 594 00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:10,160 No, God, I'm not settling for anything less than what sets. 595 00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:15,120 Free is free indeed. The enemy's got some of your 596 00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:17,840 freedom because you only claimed part of it. 597 00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:23,720 Some of you're like, I'm free. Yeah, but you're not free 598 00:39:23,720 --> 00:39:28,800 indeed. Because when that happens, your 599 00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:32,560 freedom stops. When they say that thing, your 600 00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:34,800 freedom stops. And and this wasn't what I 601 00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:37,080 planned to say today, but last night when I was praying for 602 00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:40,680 you, I just felt so strongly to say to some of you, you need to 603 00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:45,320 get your confidence back like your God-given confidence back, 604 00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:50,000 like I am a child of God. I am a daughter of the King of 605 00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:52,040 kings. You need to get your confidence 606 00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:54,120 back. You need to get some umph back 607 00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:57,000 in your parenting. You need to get some sass back 608 00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:59,960 in your fire and in your belly. You need to say, I am a woman of 609 00:39:59,960 --> 00:40:01,520 God. I don't think so, enemy. 610 00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:07,960 I don't think so. He saw her and he restored her. 611 00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:13,160 He saw the boy and he resurrected the boy. 612 00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:17,400 But what I love is the final part of this story, the complete 613 00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:21,080 part of this story is that he wasn't just doing a healing and 614 00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:23,600 he wasn't just doing a restoration, but this was 615 00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:28,720 actually also restitution. Restitution is an old fashioned 616 00:40:28,720 --> 00:40:30,960 word. We don't use it much, but 617 00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:33,680 restitution is a word you should know and it's a word you should 618 00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:36,440 use in your prayer life a lot more because it means that 619 00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:39,920 whatever was missing or taken from your life, it's going to 620 00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:44,240 come back to you with a full restoration with recompensation 621 00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:47,360 for your loss. And I serve a God who's not just 622 00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:50,080 into restoration, but he's into restitution. 623 00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:52,960 He's like, I see what you lost and I pay you back. 624 00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:56,000 I know you lost four years in that illness, but I'm going to 625 00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:58,000 make the next four years feel like 8 years. 626 00:40:58,160 --> 00:41:01,200 I know you lost pain in that season, but I'm, I'm going to 627 00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:04,600 make this next season so full of joy you won't even remember 628 00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:07,120 those tears. I'm going to make restitution. 629 00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:11,040 Joel says it this way. But I will restore to you the 630 00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:13,080 years that the locusts have eaten. 631 00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:16,680 I will restore it back to you. Look at Job's life. 632 00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:22,320 Job's life. It was so good and then it was 633 00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:25,560 so tragic. It was so full, and then it was 634 00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:28,920 so empty. It was so God kissed, and then 635 00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:33,440 it felt God bereft. Job loses everything. 636 00:41:34,240 --> 00:41:41,720 Here's Job's wife's statement. Well, Job, if I were you, I'd 637 00:41:41,720 --> 00:41:46,440 just curse God and die. In other words, I don't have any 638 00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:50,360 fight in me anymore. I don't have any stomach for the 639 00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:52,520 heart. I loved the good, but I don't 640 00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:55,800 have any stomach for the heart. I liked it when God was blessing 641 00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:58,560 us, but I don't like this version of God right now that 642 00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:01,200 I'm witnessing. And so I would rather die than 643 00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:04,440 actually sustain and fight. And some of you have said to 644 00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:07,720 yourself, maybe not those exact words, but I'd rather give up. 645 00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:09,760 I'd rather quit. I'd rather die. 646 00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:15,760 I'd rather not be here. I'd rather check out, but how 647 00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:20,200 will you ever get to the latter part of Job's life if you check 648 00:42:20,200 --> 00:42:23,680 out in the middle of his life? Because the Bible says the 649 00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:27,320 latter part of his life was way better than the first part of 650 00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:28,360 his life. It says. 651 00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:32,520 So the Lord blessed Job in the second-half of his life, even 652 00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:36,800 more than in the beginning, and he got thousands more sheep and 653 00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:40,200 thousand more camels and thousand more oxen and he had 654 00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:44,000 family and children and offspring and generations. 655 00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:46,080 Why? Because he he didn't in the dip 656 00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:49,040 quit. He realized, I don't know what's 657 00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:53,240 going on right now, but I know the one who holds my life and 658 00:42:53,240 --> 00:42:59,600 I'm not settling for partial. So I need some of you to begin 659 00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:06,320 to remind your own spirit today. Why in the world would you 660 00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:13,040 settle for so much less? Why in the world would you like 661 00:43:13,040 --> 00:43:14,680 the children of Israel? Who? 662 00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:18,840 God says I'm with you, I'm for you, I've gone ahead of you, I 663 00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:21,680 have land for you, I have a promise for you, I have a future 664 00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:23,400 for you. God said it to them. 665 00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:28,880 Why, when God has just told you everything He has for you, would 666 00:43:28,880 --> 00:43:31,320 you die outside of the promised land? 667 00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:37,920 Why? God was willing and He was able, 668 00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:42,560 but their flesh was weak and their spirit began to quit. 669 00:43:43,600 --> 00:43:46,680 And some of you, I feel like your promise is your promise is 670 00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:50,560 so close. Like I feel it even now in the 671 00:43:50,560 --> 00:43:52,280 atmosphere. It's so close. 672 00:43:52,320 --> 00:43:55,600 I know you don't think God's working, but you have no idea 673 00:43:55,600 --> 00:43:57,480 what he's doing. It is so close. 674 00:43:57,640 --> 00:43:59,160 It doesn't look like you want it to. 675 00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:00,680 It doesn't sound like you want it to. 676 00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:02,960 But God is not saying he's going to do it your way. 677 00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:05,480 He's going to do it His way, which means you have to trust it 678 00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:06,880 when it looks like there's no way. 679 00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:12,240 But here's what I know. If it's not complete, he's not 680 00:44:12,240 --> 00:44:14,880 done. If it's not complete, well, it's 681 00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:16,680 not done. If he's not completely restored, 682 00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:18,200 he's not done. If he's not complete 683 00:44:18,200 --> 00:44:21,080 restoration, it's not done. So I'm not going to quit. 684 00:44:24,560 --> 00:44:28,640 Looks good, right? Especially this close to 685 00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:33,680 lunchtime. But this is how some of us live. 686 00:44:35,080 --> 00:44:42,560 God's like I've done it all. There was not one thing that I 687 00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:46,480 didn't take care of. There was not one brokenness. 688 00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:49,920 There was not one failure. There was not one sin. 689 00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:52,960 There was not one thing that I did not take care of. 690 00:44:53,520 --> 00:44:58,920 It's complete taste and see that the Lord is good. 691 00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:03,720 So we hear that and we come to conference and we say, God, I 692 00:45:03,720 --> 00:45:05,960 just know you're so good. Thank you, God. 693 00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:17,760 Why? Why would you take a piece when 694 00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:22,160 he gave you the whole cake? And some of you come for 695 00:45:22,160 --> 00:45:25,520 conference. You come to conference for a 696 00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:29,840 piece like give me a piece of blessing, give me a piece 697 00:45:29,840 --> 00:45:31,720 through the prayer, give me a piece. 698 00:45:31,720 --> 00:45:35,480 So you walk home with a piece when you leave behind the 699 00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:38,320 revelation that you don't have to take a slice. 700 00:45:38,720 --> 00:45:42,240 I have the whole cake. I don't need you to live off 701 00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:44,600 rations. I did it all. 702 00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:48,640 I need you to have a revelation. If this is your life, how are 703 00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:51,440 you slicing up your life? He said. 704 00:45:51,440 --> 00:45:54,200 I've got peace that passes understanding, but you're 705 00:45:54,200 --> 00:45:56,600 settling with peace that gets you through maybe the night. 706 00:45:57,600 --> 00:46:01,000 I have joy that is overflowing, but you have joy maybe once a 707 00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:03,880 month. I have favour that lasts a 708 00:46:03,880 --> 00:46:07,160 lifetime, but you've made me experience this favour every now 709 00:46:07,160 --> 00:46:10,080 and again. God's like, I want you to know I 710 00:46:10,080 --> 00:46:13,120 paid for it all. But what piece you take is up to 711 00:46:13,120 --> 00:46:19,200 you. And that day, that woman, good. 712 00:46:21,640 --> 00:46:29,880 She would have said, I'm sure, just touch the boy, then just 713 00:46:29,880 --> 00:46:34,600 touch the situation there and Jesus, like, but what about you? 714 00:46:38,520 --> 00:46:39,680 No, don't. Don't worry about me. 715 00:46:39,960 --> 00:46:42,240 Jesus, you got bigger problems. I'm good. 716 00:46:42,240 --> 00:46:45,000 No, you're not good. You've not slept for the last 717 00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:50,040 three months. You have anxiety because of what 718 00:46:50,040 --> 00:46:53,200 it is you're handling. You're not eating properly, 719 00:46:55,440 --> 00:47:00,240 you're Moody, you're angry, you're not yourself. 720 00:47:00,600 --> 00:47:05,880 I just wonder what about you? And in this moment, I just feel 721 00:47:05,880 --> 00:47:11,320 God wants to ask what about you? I know there's a body and I'll 722 00:47:11,320 --> 00:47:13,720 touch that, but I'm starting with you. 723 00:47:13,800 --> 00:47:19,840 I see you all across the room want us to stand to our feet. 724 00:47:22,680 --> 00:47:28,440 And I told you at the beginning that in a moment we're going to 725 00:47:28,440 --> 00:47:32,880 open this altar. I'm going to ask the prayer team 726 00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:34,800 to come down here, and here's what we're going to do. 727 00:47:36,360 --> 00:47:41,360 We're not going to leave until we get what is rightfully ours. 728 00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:45,600 Like we're not going to walk out the door to have a nice lunch 729 00:47:45,600 --> 00:47:48,360 together when we only have partial peace. 730 00:47:48,840 --> 00:47:51,440 We're not going to say, well, God, that was nice when we know 731 00:47:51,440 --> 00:47:55,320 we need a full touch from God. Some of you today need a touch 732 00:47:55,320 --> 00:47:57,760 from heaven. You need to get your fight back. 733 00:47:57,760 --> 00:47:59,600 You need to shake off the weakness. 734 00:47:59,600 --> 00:48:02,840 You need to change some things about how you declare the 735 00:48:02,840 --> 00:48:05,120 goodness of God in your life. You should change your mindset, 736 00:48:05,320 --> 00:48:07,680 change your perspective. Some of you, there's a dead 737 00:48:07,680 --> 00:48:10,440 thing in your life and you desperately need a resurrection 738 00:48:10,600 --> 00:48:14,160 and he's in the room and he's able to touch you and touch 739 00:48:14,160 --> 00:48:16,600 that. Some of you, you've been ripped 740 00:48:16,640 --> 00:48:20,520 off generationally. Last night you heard a word on 741 00:48:20,520 --> 00:48:22,800 legacy. But you got to fight to get back 742 00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:26,080 what the enemy has stolen. There is a legacy to fight for. 743 00:48:26,080 --> 00:48:28,160 There is a generation to fight for. 744 00:48:28,160 --> 00:48:34,240 It takes strong women. So we're going to sing a worship 745 00:48:34,240 --> 00:48:36,520 song just for a couple of moments. 746 00:48:37,560 --> 00:48:39,400 And I know there's prayer team at the front, there's prayer 747 00:48:39,400 --> 00:48:41,920 team down the sides. And I'm just asking if you know 748 00:48:41,920 --> 00:48:44,400 today you need a point of contact, what does that mean? 749 00:48:44,440 --> 00:48:48,960 It just means you just need to say to yourself, actually for no 750 00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:52,440 other reason often than just to, to say to yourself, I'm done. 751 00:48:53,320 --> 00:48:54,760 Like that woman with the issue of blood. 752 00:48:54,760 --> 00:48:57,000 She must have had a moment that day where she went, I'm done. 753 00:48:57,200 --> 00:48:59,560 I'm done waiting. I'm done living with partial. 754 00:48:59,720 --> 00:49:02,440 I'm done all the false promises. I'm done spending money on a 755 00:49:02,440 --> 00:49:04,440 doctor that has no reason to fix me. 756 00:49:04,600 --> 00:49:05,800 I'm done. And I'm no one. 757 00:49:05,800 --> 00:49:08,840 No one's coming to my house today, but I'm going to move 758 00:49:08,840 --> 00:49:12,920 from my house to wherever he is. And God is everywhere right now, 759 00:49:12,920 --> 00:49:14,360 but he needs you to be somewhere. 760 00:49:15,640 --> 00:49:18,520 So if you need to move, if you need a moment, if you need to 761 00:49:18,680 --> 00:49:21,360 step into the altar, if you need to find your knees, I don't know 762 00:49:21,360 --> 00:49:26,920 what, but Jesus is in the room, the restorer, the completer, the 763 00:49:26,920 --> 00:49:32,040 Prince of Peace, the great. I am the one who is Alpha and 764 00:49:32,040 --> 00:49:35,320 Omega, the one who began in you and will complete what he began 765 00:49:35,320 --> 00:49:36,560 in you. He's in the room. 766 00:49:36,560 --> 00:49:40,400 So as we sing, if you need to move, just begin to move. 767 00:49:40,400 --> 00:49:43,120 And then we're going to pray. Let's just begin to move and 768 00:49:43,120 --> 00:49:44,360 just begin to sing. Thanks guys.
